Ch 253: Scaramouche: I Got One-shotted?

“Okay! Leave this to me.”

The Desert Mercenaries held a significant advantage on the battlefield, that is until The Doctor’s Fatui joined the war.

Otherwise, the situation would have been one-sided long ago.

Aether bent their knees slightly, then leaped upwards.

Aether summoned their Light Wings and flew towards Jinshen Palace.

Quickly.

Aether arrived at Jinshen Palace and happened to meet Azar, who was emerging from the underground factory.

Azar’s expression wasn’t panicked; on the contrary, he was quite excited.

Because, just now, the God-Making Project had been completely finished, and the new God was about to ascend!

He had come out to admire his “masterpiece.”

Aether looked at Azar.

“Yo, the mouse from the sewers finally crawled out?”

Hearing Aether say this, Azar understood the other’s identity—a subordinate of the little Grass God.

“Attack!”

Azar waved his hand, and several Guards charged towards Aether.

Aether unleashed One Sword, its blade engulfing the Guards.

Azar was stunned. He never expected the little Grass God’s subordinate to be such a powerful person.

“You’re a subordinate of that useless God, aren’t you? What’s so worthy of your loyalty about that useless God?

Instead of being loyal to that useless God, why not be loyal to me!

I! I led the completion of the God-Making Project! The new God is about to ascend, and that useless God and those desert peasants are about to perish.

If you’re smart, you should know what to do.”

As Azar finished speaking, the ground rumbled, and Aether looked towards outside Jinshen Palace.

A mecha over thirty meters tall burst from the ground, launching indiscriminate attacks on its surroundings.

Azar watched this scene with fervent excitement.

“Look! This is the true power a God should possess!

Submit to me! You will have a bright future!”

Aether looked at Azar as if he were an idiot.

That large mecha outside—not even mentioning Xing and Liuyin—Aether alone could easily deal with it.

It was merely the power of an early Archon. Did he really think he was invincible?

Aether couldn’t understand where Azar got his confidence.

On second thought, it made sense; after all, Sumeru hadn’t seen a Miracle in over 500 years.

At this time, Aether noticed two streaks of Firelight in the distance and understood the mecha’s fate.

Aether used Blink to appear behind Azar and knocked him unconscious with a Hand Knife.

Then, Aether found a Rope to tie him up.

In the center of the battlefield.

Scaramouche controlled the large mecha, destroying everything around it.

“Hahahaha! Is this the power of a God? Truly powerful!

Baal! I have become a God!”

Scaramouche let out an incredibly arrogant laugh.

The laughter, transmitted through the mecha, traveled far; Xing, Nahida, and others in the rear also heard Scaramouche’s laughter.

Nahida heard Scaramouche mention the four words “Baalzebub.”

“Baalzebub? Does the person controlling the mecha know the Wanderer?”

Ye Yun nodded.

“That’s right, that person inside is a puppet the Wanderer made a long time ago, but, well, he was tricked and is obsessed with revenge against the Wanderer.”

Upon hearing this, Nahida understood.

Nahida looked at Xing.

“Xing, please make your move.”

Upon hearing this, Xing did a backflip, took out the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, and placed it on their shoulder.

“Oh ho ho, it’s finally my turn! It’s that big mecha, right? It looks pretty cool.”

Nahida nodded slightly.

“Yes, Xing, please leave some of your strength; the person controlling the mecha seems to know the Wanderer.”

Hearing this, Xing nodded to show understanding.

“Okay! Leave it to me! Heavenly Fire! Unsheathed!”

Xing leaped up and charged towards the distant Scaramouche.

Within a few Blinks, Xing reached Scaramouche’s feet.

Xing leaped high, and the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment continuously accumulated Energy.

Scaramouche naturally noticed Xing.

He sensed a deadly threat from Xing.

Scaramouche was stunned for two seconds.

How could this be? They had clearly ascended, yet they still felt threatened by someone else?

No! It’s all an illusion! It must be that their mentality hasn’t completely changed yet.

Scaramouche punched at Xing.

Xing raised the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment high and slashed down.

The mecha’s fist instantly melted the moment it came into contact with the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment.

Scaramouche was shocked and hurriedly dodged.

Ultimately, he still couldn’t avoid it.

Xing’s sword melted half of the mecha’s body, causing it to lose its balance and fall to the ground.

Inside the Driver’s Seat, terror was written all over Scaramouche’s face.

They had been instantly defeated by one sword!

Xing located the Driver’s Seat, lightly ran the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment across the Shell, and found Scaramouche inside.

“You’re here. Behave yourself and come with me.

I heard you know the Wanderer? I’ll send you back later.”

Scaramouche, who had been despairing, saw that Xing was going to send them to meet the Wanderer, so their face changed drastically, and they struggled to escape.

Seeing this, Xing grabbed Scaramouche’s right leg and pulled.

Unexpectedly, Xing directly tore Scaramouche’s leg off.

Scaramouche fell to the ground again from losing a leg.

Xing was also dumbfounded. They stared blankly at Scaramouche, then at the leg in their hand.

No way? The Materials used for this body are so trashy?

I just pulled lightly, and it came right off? No way?

They didn’t even use much force. The quality is too poor.

At this time.

Nahida, Liuyin, and others arrived on the scene.

Everyone noticed the leg in Xing’s hand.

March 7th was stunned, a drop of cold sweat appearing on their forehead.

“Uh, Xing, weren’t you supposed to hold back?”

Xing dropped the leg, looked innocent, and shrugged.

“I did hold back; otherwise, they would have died.

I didn’t know the quality of their body was so poor. I just pulled lightly, and it fell off. You really can’t blame me for this.”

Hearing this, Nahida said.

“It’s okay, they were just a puppet; I’ll just have someone reattach it.

Thank you for your hard work, Xing.”

Xing waved their hand.

“No problem, no problem, is everything settled?”

Nahida nodded.

“Yes, Aether has already captured Azar, and Cyno is currently guarding him.

The Fatui soldiers under The Doctor and the remaining Thirty-Person Mercenary Group in the City have all been eliminated.”

Xing heard this.

“Okay then, if there’s nothing else, let’s go back.”

Nahida heard this.

“Are you going back already? Do you want to play some more? I was planning on treating you all to dinner tonight.”

Xing shook their head.

“No need to be so polite, Nahida. The Lottery Shop’s third-period Lottery Draw is about to start, and I want to see if I can win.”

Hearing Xing say this, March 7th remembered.

“That’s right! The Lottery Shop’s Lottery Draw is almost here! Ye Yun, quickly open a door, we need to go back.”

Ye Yun opened a Portal. To be honest, he had forgotten about this as well.

Ye Yun and the others bid farewell to Nahida and returned to the Shop.

At this time, the Shop was crowded.

The Luofu group.

The Liyue group.

The Mondstadt group.

The Inazuma group.

The Belobog group.

They all gathered here waiting for the Lottery Shop’s Lottery Draw.

Kiana and Asmodeus were huddled on a Sofa, each holding a bag of Potato Chips and chatting.
