"Your Excellency Andrius..."
"It's the Abyss Order. They targeted Tevarin before, but Tevarin was warned and avoided them. I expected them to target me, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly."
Andrius did not feel like talking.
Wendy had told Him about the Abyss a long time ago, and emphasized that He should be well prepared. She reminded Him again before leaving Mondstadt.
What did Andrius say at that time? I, Andrius, the demon god, am invincible.
Although it is not said directly, this is the meaning.
Then it flipped over.
It's not fatal, but it's not. Although the power of the abyss is poisonous to the life of Teyvat, it's foolish to talk about the harm without considering the dosage. Given the nature of the demon god Andrius, with this level, it can be completely driven away or suppressed to the point where it has almost no effect if given some time.
The problem is that this is not pure abyssal power, but a specially transformed power. This dark aura is firmly attached to his consciousness projection body, and has a strong erosion effect on his mind and reason. Now he must calm his mind and resist this erosion with all his strength.
For the time being, it's best not to act rashly or have any emotional fluctuations.
After all, the dosage is limited, and as long as you get through it, it won't be difficult to deal with.
So I really have to thank Angel for using the Gatling gun to get rid of the two Abyss Mages. Otherwise, if they continued to catalyze the erosion of the black mist and stimulate Andrius with the blood and resentment of the Mond people, it would be very troublesome.
Just because Andrius doesn't like to interact with people doesn't mean he doesn't like the people of Mond. These are two different things.
Qin nodded in understanding and said solemnly:
“Is it really the Abyss? They actually took advantage of the time when the Wind God was on a diplomatic mission to Liyue to attack us. How despicable!”
"The God of Wind is on a mission to Liyue... ah, that's true. Anyway, it's not a big problem for now. Just help me guard the altar for a while, and it will be fine when I recover. I'm just afraid they won't let go easily."
Andrius did not deny the word Wind God that Jean blurted out when she was under pressure. The second generation Wind God is still the Wind God, and it won't be long before he really takes the throne, so it's okay to call him that now.
……
At this time, in the border space between the Abyss and Mondstadt, several Abyss mages and Abyss Apostles were discussing the current situation.
"My fellow soldiers successfully injected the power of the Abyss into Andrius, but this is the last message we have received. I'm afraid the support from the Mondstadt people will be stronger and faster than we thought. So what should we do next? Should we continue to invest?"
"After all, this is a kingdom of gods. Even if the wind god hasn't woken up before, he's probably about to wake up now. If we continue to invest... the losses will be huge."
"But this is the critical moment to assimilate the demon god-level combat power. If you are not willing to pay now, everything before will be in vain. The Seven Kingdoms are also wary of the Abyss. Once Andrius's experience is known to the Seven Gods, it will be more difficult to take such actions in the future. Only by taking him down and having a demon god-level combat power to assist, can future actions be carried out smoothly."
"Risks and opportunities coexist. If you don't gamble, there's a high chance that your bet will be completely wasted. If you gamble, you might be annihilated by the enraged wind god, but you might also have a chance to get a demon god... Humph, do I even need to choose?"
If you are already in the abyss and still shrink back, you will never accomplish anything great.
They decided to take a gamble.
So, in a mountain forest full of monsters, the Abyss Cult spared no expense to reopen the passage to Teyvat. Dozens of Abyss Mages and Abyss Believers rushed out.
"As we rebuild our own country, please let us bask in the glory." ×N
They saluted and said goodbye to the Prince of the Abyss inside the tunnel. It might be a farewell forever, but no one backed down.
Then, the Abyss Mage danced, chanted, and summoned a vast force of darkness.
The power of the abyss continued to spread in all directions, infecting monsters in large numbers, stimulating their vitality and bringing out their ferocity.
"That's enough. If we say any more, it will attract the attention of the heavens. Next, we will allocate half of our forces to attack Mondstadt and the nearby villages to cause chaos in the country. Even if we wake up the wind god, we will be in a dilemma and exhausted."
"it is good."
"With the remaining strength, follow me to attack the Wolf Territory and welcome our demon god."
"Yes!"
Chapter 66 If it's money, we can find a way
The first to notice the activation of the power of the abyss were not the people of Mond, but the East Wind Dragon, who had followed Wendy's advice and was resting in a distant place.
"Are you here?"
Tevarin opened his dragon eyes, flapped his wings like dancing, and instantly turned into a beautiful wind elf, flying straight into the sky of Mondstadt.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Warning bells and alarm bells rang throughout Mondstadt.
Fortunately, Mondstadt was a good place. As the capital of a country, it had high and solid city walls to protect it, and there were knights and religious orders stationed there. Before the monster tide arrived, it had made sufficient preparations to resist these threats.
But the scattered villages and towns are another matter. Most of them are not well-armed, and a sudden riot by monsters is a huge threat to them.
"Abyssal Order, get out of Mondstadt!"
The roar of a giant dragon was heard from the sky, and then the strong wind turned into a sharp sword that tore through everything, sweeping across the land. Just like an eraser erasing pencil marks, it easily wiped out a large number of monsters.
"It's the East Wind Dragon, it's the Wind God who is protecting us!"
The people of Mond witnessed the myth come true.
The giant dragon, which blocked out the sun and was yet as beautiful as a painting, soared in the sky. Wherever it passed, the hordes of monsters that the Abyss Cult had spent a lot of effort to strengthen and control were reduced to corpses.
"The dragon finally came out. Maybe, there is a chance?"
Several Abyss Mages tried to fly after him, attempting to use the same trick on Tevarin that had hit Andrius.
However, Tevarin's reason was superior to Andrius'. If it weren't for his extremely strong reason, he would have gone completely crazy after being tortured by poisonous blood for five hundred years.
"Roar--"
"what!"
He simply roared in the sky, and the strong wind tore apart all the Abyss Mages who tried to approach Him.
"Stop. That is the Wind Dragon, the Lord of the Sky. Even the Seven Gods should not think of chasing it in the sky. Don't seek death."
The Abyss Order stopped its futile attempts.
"Now that the East Wind Dragon has appeared, we must not let him get close to the Wolf Territory. We must not let him get in the way of the Demon God that we are about to capture."
As a result, the Abyss Order dispersed its forces further, heading towards more villages, trying to contain Tevarin in the vast territory of Mondstadt.
This trick is indeed effective.
Although Tevarin was big, Mond was even bigger. He had no choice but to fly around in the sky, constantly destroying monsters that threatened human villages, and at the same time destroying the Abyss Cultists who were hiding among the monsters and were responsible for restraining them. He could not escape for the time being.
In the Wolf Territory, a huge group of monsters flattened the mountains and forests, and approached one after another with the knights' cannons and muskets.
Andrius had to endure the unpleasant feeling of his sanity being eroded and stood up.
"Has the Abyssal Order gone mad? Do they want to go to war with the Seven Kingdoms?"
The situation was not serious. It was just a small number of Abyss members controlling a group of monsters. It could not actually shake the foundation of Mondstadt, let alone harm Teyvat.
But the seven countries of Teyvat are extremely sensitive to the Abyss. If the Abyss dares to take such action, it is normal for the seven countries to jointly carry out an action to destroy the Abyss.
Logically speaking, the Abyss Cult shouldn't have acted so recklessly. But this also proved that they were determined to win.
"Sir Andrius, please protect yourself. I'm afraid they made such a big move just for you."
"I understand. But they think they can deal with me with just these little tricks. They think too lightly of the title of North Wind Wolf King!"
Andrius decided to take action.
He felt the monsters coming. They were meaningless to the demon, but too many for humans. These knights were from Mondstadt, and they were here to build an altar for him. They also included the current acting leader. Andrius would never accept it if these people died here because of him.
Jean and Lisa looked at each other and frowned. They had a general understanding of the current situation. It was obvious that sitting still was the best for Andrius, but they could not command the majestic North Wind Wolf King, nor could they sit idly by and watch the main force of the existing knight group suffer heavy losses.
So the Knights and the Wolf King stood together to face the oncoming wave of monsters.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The firepower of the alchemical cannons is still holding back the beast tide.
But the ammunition was limited, and Angie used a countdown to inform the entire army of the upcoming pause in firing.
"…3, 2, 1. Riflemen, fire!"
The musketeers lined up side by side began to fire, but their power was much weaker than that of the cannons, and the monster tide continued to approach slowly.
Angel was urgently repairing her Gatling gun. Finally, she stood among the riflemen, holding the black metal machine that even Lisa was interested in.
"Teng-teng-teng!"
Unimaginable firepower density, incredible destructive power and repressive force.
Just by sweeping left and right, she seemed to have given the musketeers several times more firepower, sweeping back the approaching monsters, leaving torn and scattered corpses all over the ground.
"Can this thing be used to equip the knights on a large scale?"
"No. The material requirements are too high, and the cost of ammunition is even higher. As far as I know, Anqi also invested a lot to make this one."
"As for money, we can think of a way."
Although Lisa rejected it, Qin still thought about it with eager eyes.
There was no other way. With the main force of the Knights on an expedition, Mondstadt was in desperate need of a force to deal with the threat.
Although the Lord Wind God and his followers were there, Qin, as the acting leader, still knew a lot about the history of five hundred years ago. Gods have their own battlefields, and humans have their own battlefields. If you rely on gods for everything, you will eventually be unable to escape the catastrophe. Humans must also have their own strength. This is the consensus of the top human beings in all countries.
"From what I know, Little Angie already has a bunch of plans to increase the firepower of the Knights. You'd better not waste your time on trivial matters, communicate more with her, and give her more support."
"Yes, I will. As expected of Mondstadt's genius alchemist, Lisa, you have unearthed an irreplaceable treasure for us."
The sound of the piano and the sword, and the words used, have elevated Angel to a very special status.
Lisa smiled but said nothing, silently picking up her lantern.
"Fire output has ended. All troops, prepare for battle!"
Angel calculated and stored the last bit of emergency firepower, and ordered to stop the fire output.
The monster finally approached, and Qin raised her sword.
"kill!"
Monsters, knights, and wolves fought each other.
Andrius opened his mouth, and cold wind and snow covered the front, freezing the monsters on half of the mountain in an instant.
However, the Abyss Apostles and Abyss Mages hiding on the edge were also approaching Andrius.
Their plan was simple, just like the three Abyss Mages that were killed before. First, they would get close to Andrius and continue to stimulate the power of the Abyss in him. At the same time, they would use monsters to consume other people, let the blood and resentment of the Mond people and wolves spread all over the land, and stimulate Andrius' emotions.
They were confident that they could use both of these methods to make a demon fall into the abyss.
The only difficulty is time. After all, the demon god is different from mortals, and his resistance to the abyss is extremely strong. It will take quite some time to assimilate him.
Next, it will depend on whether they succeed in inducing the fall of the Demon God first, or whether the Wind God and his followers arrive first and destroy them all.
"Andrius, come with us to the abyss~~"
"Return to the abyss together~~"
"Oh! It's so noisy!!!"
Chapter 67 The Wind God Appears
Under the moonlight, the sound of fighting was loud.
"Die, worm of the abyss!"
"Oh!"
A demon is still a demon after all. No matter how bad its condition is, Andrius can turn the chanting abyss wizard into ashes with one claw.
But it was clear that the Abyss Cult itself was aware of the power gap, so it just flew around Andrius, trying its best to avoid collisions, and kept chanting spells from the Abyss.
Andrius could feel his mind being worn away. The lucidity was slipping away, and a violent, dark emotion was taking hold.
"Is that all? Is this the extent of the ceremony you offer to the Wolf King? Roar!"
Andrius rushed forward, tearing apart the Abyss Cultists and crushing a large number of monsters, as if he was not affected at all. His overwhelming power brought great help to the Mond people both psychologically and physically.
However, the Abyss followers were neither anxious nor worried, they just continued to surround Andrius, regardless of danger or sacrifice, chanting spells and tempting him non-stop.
Now it's a race against time, nothing more.
"Andrius, back off!"
An Qi's cry came.
Andrius' eyes lit up, and he jumped up immediately, then,
