People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

"You are very strong, but unfortunately you are a step too slow."

A ray of light red energy floated down from the Frost Sky Nail and condensed into the body of the Apostle of the Abyss in the air, but its appearance was very different from before.

Its entire body was not the black and purple color that covered the energy of the abyss, nor was it the blue and white color that represented the elemental power of ice, but rather a pure white color that seemed to have faded.

It's like 3D modeling without color rendering.

But the most eye-catching thing is its back: six wings with a wingspan of five meters fully spread out, the top one is icy white, the middle one is colorless and translucent, and the bottom one is blood red.

Turned into a birdman!

Albedo stared at the wings behind it with a serious look in his eyes.

The ice-white wings are the power of the Frost Nail, the translucent ones are the power of the earth veins, and the blood-red ones are the power of Durin, who is closely related to him.

Three powerful forces were actually harmoniously integrated into one person!

Seeing the Abyss Apostle appear, the Abyss Mages immediately flashed away, and no one wanted to stop them, because the Abyss Apostle in front of them gave them a strong sense of oppression just by standing there.

In their elemental force perception, that location was an energy source that continuously released high-intensity energy flow! It was so powerful that they felt they would be swallowed up by the endless energy flow at any time.

At this moment, it seems like a god!

Or it is already a god.

"You can call me Phoenix. This is my original name." The Apostle of the Abyss spoke.

Albedo said in a deep voice: "Is this what your Abyss Cult is planning in the snowy mountains? To make you a god?"

"You're half right. Becoming a god is just a by-product and not worth mentioning." Phoenix said calmly, "Now can you listen to me?"

Everyone was silent; it seemed like they had no chance of winning at this moment.

"Since you didn't say anything, I'll take it as your consent. Humans are always like this. They ignore the opinions of the weak and only show mutual respect when facing the strong."

Shen Qin: Please understand your position clearly. How can you respect your enemy? I just can't beat you now, otherwise why would I listen to your nagging?

But he also wanted to get more information from Phoenix.

Phoenix: "I have told you before that our action this time is not aimed at Mondstadt, but only at Snow Mountain. If you agree to retreat, I will send you out of Snow Mountain unharmed, and Mondstadt and Snow Mountain will have nothing to do with each other from now on..."

Qin stepped forward and said, "The Snow Mountain is also Mond's territory. We can't give in even a little bit!"

"Oh? Then you probably know nothing about the power of God."

Phoenix just glanced at Jean, and she felt that the time and space around her had solidified. Except for her mind which could still function normally, her body was completely unable to move.

Time Stop.avi

Is this the power of God?

Everyone also noticed Jean's abnormality. Amber, Eula and Klee rushed to her worriedly to check the situation, while the others attacked Phoenix at the same time.

However, all the explosive bullets condensed in the air before they hit him, and everyone's movements stopped at the moment of launching the attack. Even the elemental power in Albedo and Kaeya was condensed at the same time.

"Is there anything in Mond that the Abyss Cult is afraid of? The little flying insect that was almost transformed by us, or your weak god Barbatos?"

Phoenix came to Jean and said calmly: "In our eyes, the entire Mond is just a bug that can be easily eliminated. If it were not for the protection of the rules, Mond would have ceased to exist long ago."

His voice was clearly heard by everyone.

"Well, since you are unwilling to communicate with me peacefully, there is no point in me saying more."

He didn't notice that Albedo's eyes were moving slowly.

"Besides, you don't think I'm asking for your opinions, do you? Hahahaha - I'm just giving you a notice! No one in Mondstadt can stop the Abyss Cult from doing what it wants to do!"

Phoenix raised his finger, ready to throw everyone out of the snowy mountain boundary.

To be honest, there are several people here that he doesn't dare to kill. They are either part of the plot of other powerful people, or have powerful backgrounds. There is no need to get into trouble now and get involved in unnecessary karma.

It is not a good idea to just kill those unimportant people, because their companions will definitely avenge them, and then there will be some trouble.

Moreover, the Abyss Cult is not an evil organization that specializes in killing people. All their actions are aimed at overthrowing the rule of heaven and gods. In order to achieve this great ideal, life, death, hatred... everything is false - this is what the Abyss Cult believes in as its dogma.

It’s just that most normal people don’t agree with it.

boom!

A sudden torrent of terrifying rock elements engulfed Phoenix from bottom to top. Albedo's eyes burst into dazzling golden light and his whole body was suspended in mid-air.

No one can stop you? I don't believe it!

scoff-

Phoenix used its wings to tear through the torrent of rock elements and rushed towards Albedo like a cannonball.

Albedo stepped back to distance himself from him, controlling the torrent of rock elements to continuously emerge from the ground and bombard him.

You think I'm a melee one-handed sword fighter, but actually I'm a ranged mage!

Chapter 179: Pulling back the time to more than 3,000 years ago

While dodging the torrent of rock elements, Phoenix continued to solidify the space and time around Albedo. Although he failed to completely stop his movements, he greatly slowed down his movement speed.

Phoenix does not possess the power of time and space, he just stole the authority of the Honeysuckle Tree and has the authority to control everything in the snow-capped mountains.

But the total amount of energy in Albedo's body is too terrifying. When the quantitative change accumulates to a certain level, it becomes a qualitative change, which can no longer be restricted by authority.

It is like the king of a country has the command over the domestic army, but if the strongest army among them wants to rebel, the king can only command other armies to restrict the actions of that army and prevent himself from being assassinated by the rebels.

In the final analysis, it all comes down to who has the bigger fist, and the fist is the real truth.

scoff-

Phoenix used his wings to cut through a torrent of rock elements, finally bringing Albedo into the combat range where he could exert his greatest combat power. A transparent two-handed sword condensed in his hand, with the red power of Durin and the white power of the Frost Nail lingering on it.

Although it was a two-handed greatsword, he only swung it at Albedo with one hand.

Holy shit! Darkin Aatrox!

Shen Qin, who was not far away, was unable to move, but he happened to see the fight between the two. He suddenly blinked and found that Phoenix's blockade of time and space seemed to loosen a little.

Perhaps it took a lot of his energy to condense that sword.

But the sword was indeed powerful. The one-handed sword that Albedo used to block was cut off by one sword, and then Phoenix quickly slashed down another sword. Albedo's hands were filled with heavy rock elemental power, and he tried to catch the sword with his bare hands.

The terrifying cold force immediately spread through his hands to his whole body, and a thin layer of frost condensed on his eyebrows and hair.

Bang!

The two men fell heavily to the ground and rushed out more than ten meters away. Albedo still held the big sword tightly, but the blade was getting closer and closer to his face.

call out--

Ying held a sword and rushed towards Phoenix from the side at high speed. She was the second person to escape the time and space blockade.

Phoenix naturally would not take Ying's sword head-on, but when he was about to withdraw, he found that the greatsword was held down by Albedo. Seeing Ying approaching, he had to let go of his hands to avoid Ying's attack.

Albedo took the opportunity to wrap the entire sword with rock elements and threw it to Ying. She understood what he meant and slashed the sword with one blow, cutting it in two.

Destroying the enemy's weapons is equivalent to weakening the enemy's combat power.

Albedo stood up from the ruins and stood with Ying to confront Phoenix from a distance.

"Your combat power seems to be just so-so, not even at the average level of a leader." Albedo said.

Phoenix shook his head: "The outcome of a battle is not determined simply by combat power, and the godhood is not determined by who has the strongest combat power."

Albedo: "But I can defeat the gods."

I don't know if it's because he has been with Shen Qin for too long, but he has become more and more reckless. After all, Shen often shouts strange things like "The truth is only within the range of cannons", "Once the star destroyer appears, the devil will surrender", "I have three thousand causal weapons, and I dare to ask Teyvat to change the sky".

Phoenix laughed dumbly and said, "I just wanted to try to improve my combat power after becoming a god. I didn't use the true power of the gods. Rules are controlled by the gods, and they are a higher level of power than elemental power!"

"I've said before that becoming a god is not our goal. Our goal is to pull time back more than three thousand years and bring back Shar Findenir in his heyday!"

Phoenix opened his arms, his aura rising further, and the sky above the snow mountain darkened, and among the clouds, an inverted snow mountain with a span of two hundred kilometers slowly descended!

At this moment, the time and space blockade he set for everyone was ineffective, and they all looked up in a daze at the descending behemoth.

There are clusters of human buildings on the Inverted Snow Mountain, and the vibrant green covers the entire snow mountain. Except for some large-scale terrain, they cannot associate it with the snow mountain today. But they understand that this is what the snow mountain really looked like before the Frost Nail fell more than 3,000 years ago!

Could it be that Phoenix really traveled across more than three thousand years of time and summoned Shal Findnir to the present timeline?

No, that's not right! No matter how magical the earth veins are, they can't travel through time and space!

No matter how strong the vitality in Durin's blood is, it is still within the rules of Teyvat.

It is even less likely that the Frost Nail contains the power to destroy the rules of Teyvat.

So what on earth is this upside-down snow mountain in front of us? !

Shen Qin's CPU was burnt out, but the scene in the inverted snow mountain made him believe that this was really the former Shar Findenir.

They were located at the top of the snow-capped mountain, the closest to the Inverted Snow Mountain. Looking up, they could even clearly see the human figures in the palace who were also looking up at them!

"What are you all standing there for?! Get out of here! The two mountains are about to collide!"

Albedo and Ying came running over from a distance, waking up everyone who was in a daze.

"Wait a minute!" Shen Qin stared at the peaks of the two mountains that were about to touch, wanting to confirm one thing.

"What are we waiting for? It will be too late if we don't leave now!" Sugar pulled his hand and flew down the mountain.

Shen Qin had no choice but to follow Shatang while looking back.

I saw the peaks of the two mountains touching each other, but there was no violent collision as imagined. Instead, they merged together silently!

Shen Qin’s eyes widened, so this inverted snow mountain was not a real entity!

His bold conjecture was verified.

"Don't run. The two snow-capped mountains will not collide with each other. What fell from the sky is probably just the information and data that Shar Findenir left in the earth veins more than 3,000 years ago."

"Besides, at our speed it will take at least an hour to leave the snowy mountain. We can't outrun it."

His words made everyone stop. They stared blankly at the two snow-capped mountains that were silently merging together, and the buildings above their heads were getting closer and closer.

"Ah!" Kelly covered her head in fear.

The building passed through everyone's bodies. Their consciousness became dazed for a moment. After they came to their senses, they found that the surrounding environment had changed drastically.

There were no more Frost Sky Nails in the sky, and intact palace buildings appeared under their feet. There were also some people in strange costumes standing on the ground pointing at them.

"This is... Shar Findenir from three thousand years ago?" Amber asked in surprise, "How did we get here?"

Albedo used elemental power to explore the surroundings and found that these buildings were real and not just virtual projections.

Shen Qin reminded them: "Look down the mountain."

I saw a line extending from high to low down the mountain. One end of the line was three thousand years ago, and the other end was three thousand years later.

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Shen Qin explained to them: "If my inference is correct, Phoenix's so-called 'return of Shar Findenir in his heyday' is just to extract data information from three thousand years ago from the earth veins and overwrite the real data of the real snow mountain."

"He has full authority over the Snow Mountain, so he can switch data freely between reality and illusion."

Chapter 180 Celebration

Except for Sucrose and Albedo who were lost in thought, everyone else looked confused and didn't quite understand what Shen Qin said.

Just as Shen Qin was about to explain it again, a group of people wearing strange armor flew over from a distance, surrounded them, and pointed the "long sticks" in their hands at them. There was a flashing silver-white light at the end of the long sticks.

A man approached them and shouted, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

Shen Qin looked at the equipment of the person who came and felt it was a bit magical.

The armor they wear is modeled after the super-old armor of ancient European knights, but inside this retro armor lies super technology that is enough to allow them to fly freely in the sky.

The long sticks in their hands are definitely not just simple long sticks. They are probably a kind of energy weapon that can be used for both long-range and close combat.

Such a combination is very magical. Wow, three thousand years ago your technology was more advanced than that of Teyvat today, right?

The technology of Teyvat is becoming more and more backward.

"Who are you? Tell me your name!!!"

Probably because they didn't answer, the man raised his voice a little higher, and the soldiers surrounding them moved a few meters closer.

Just as Qin was about to speak, Shen Qin flew in front of the man and asked loudly, "Excuse me, is this the great verdant country - Shar Findenir?"

"Exactly. May I ask where you are from?"
