Genshin Impact: Rise of the Desert

Ivan originally had seven glass jars on his back, containing seven elements.

The water and fire elements have already been used up, and Sirhind's refusal to allow the Fontaine scientists to research the Sacred Mech has thoroughly offended the Academy of Sciences, resulting in the scientists not allowing Sirhind to use any items outside the Academy's grounds.

Therefore, unable to replenish his elements, Sirhind injected two vials of Time Potion into a glass jar and inserted it into the back of the Holy Mech.

"A mass-produced product manufactured by the gods, a hybrid offspring of degenerated primitive humans, plus your laughable armor—I must say, your outfit is truly something else!"

Yuan Zhong slowly rose to his feet, hurling insults at the man.

Ivan grinned and said, "Words spoken are like blood splattered everywhere, and you will bleed dry because of your arrogance."

For a moment, neither of them moved.

Ivan was never the target in the abyss. He could put aside any hatred for the Abyss Princess. He didn't want to waste his energy in a place where everyone was his enemy. He had only one goal—God!

Ivan knew Abyss's target, so he planned to wait for Abyss to make the first move and then intercept him halfway.

In the abyss, he saw through Ivan's thoughts.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a beautiful figure leaped down from the platform, shattering the stone bricks and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Shadow Hunter!"

With a loud shout amidst the smoke and dust, countless tiny yet swift bolts of lightning elemental energy surged into the abyss!

Yuan Zhong crossed his two arm blades in front of his chest, like a devout believer.

He channeled the power of time within the water element, stopping the bolts of lightning ten centimeters in front of him.

The lightning elements, totaling more than ten, were stopped in time before the arm blade in the still abyss. Even the electric arcs stopped flashing, just like a texture in the real world.

"Who goes there!" Yuan Zhong asked the smoke and dust behind Ivan.

Ivan also turned to the side, so that he could see and defend against the abyss on a large scale, while also being able to see behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"As for who I am, the Twin Guns will provide the answer." As the smoke cleared, Krolind emerged, holding two short guns.

The stunning beauty before him caught Ivan's eye, and his first thought was:

I really want to pinch those two lumps of rotten flesh on her chest...

Klorind looked at Ivan and nodded slightly, indicating, "Duel Agent Klorind, let's postpone our duel for a while."

"You two will both die here today!" Yuan Zhong roared, slashing his arm blades forward. More than ten lightning elements flew over at an even faster speed than before.

However, the targets are scattered, attacking in a fan shape forward from the center of the abyss.

Ivan quickly protected his head, and Clarind dodged with several backflips.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The explosion was deafening. Clorind compressed the lightning element to an extreme point and then fired it through the gungun, resulting in extremely high destructive power.

Most of the lightning elements reflected from the abyss struck the floor tiles, with only three hitting Ivan, all of which were areas covered by the holy mech. These only produced a lot of sparks and did not cause any damage.

but!

In that instant, the paving stones were lifted, the compacted soil beneath was blown up, and dust billowed across the field, covering even Clarinde, who had taken cover outside the attack range.

In the instant she was enveloped in smoke and dust, Claurind saw Yuan rise from the smoke and dust and fly towards the high platform.

Yuan Zhong successfully leaped onto Fu Ningna's throne, glancing back at the dust-filled arena.

In that instant, he saw Clarinde, her entire body covered in lightning, rushing towards him like lightning.

"See through evil, and vanquish its shadows!"

Clarin leaped up, rushed in front of Yuanzhong, and kicked him in the chest.

Normally, after Klorind kicks, she will be launched about three meters into the air again, and then, with the help of lightning, she will move at high speed in the air at a height of three meters, launching a full-scale, indiscriminate lightning attack on the abyss.

but!

Just as Clorind left his chest, Yuanzhong reached out and grabbed Clorind's neck with his large hand.

"Tsk... I originally intended to stab you to death directly, but you were too fast, and I actually missed." Yuan Zhong said with dissatisfaction.

Each use of [Time] consumes a lot of stamina. Yuanzhong can be badly attacked in battle, but he absolutely cannot accept running out of stamina to escape.

Therefore, he tried to use as little time as possible, saving his energy for dealing with the water god or even more difficult opponents.

"Cough cough cough..." Clorind's face remained expressionless, with only her mouth slightly open as she coughed due to excessive throat contraction.

Clarind raised the two muskets and aimed them into the abyss.

"As a believer in the water god... how could I...?"

Before Clorind could fire, Yuan Zhong squeezed hard and snapped Clorind's neck.

What would be fatal to a normal person is a serious injury to the possessor of the Eye of God; Clarinde simply fell into a coma.

Time waits for no one; if we delay any longer, the water god might run off somewhere else.

He threw Clorind down in the abyss, turned around and was about to run when he was grabbed by a giant metal claw.

...........................

Although Ivan didn't see it fly out of the abyss, his ears weren't just for show!

He heard the sound of someone leaping up from the abyss.

With the help of his ears, Ivan raised his right paw and aimed at the sky.

"Fuck-"

A sickening scraping sound of chains rang out as Ivan's right claw, attached to the armor on his arm, flew off.

When Ivan felt his claws touch something, his right hand, inside the armor, which was pierced by dozens of silver needles, clenched slightly.

Then, Ivan was lifted into the air, passed through the smoke, and saw the abyss.

With its left claw clenched into a fist, it smashed towards Yuan Zhong's face.

Yuan Zhong turned around and saw a metal fist growing larger and larger in his eyes.

"I fucking fucked it."
