She truly did not know that Ningguang and Keqing had become Herrschers.
But now that Takumi had said so, she did not refuse.
She agreed immediately.
Judging by Takumi's behavior, he intended to turn all his women into Herrschers.
So naturally, she would not be left behind.
After deciding, Takumi brought Kamisato Ayaka inside.
As for the formless creatures, Takumi sent them outside to guard.
Do not let anyone enter.
Next, he would help Kamisato Ayaka become a Herrscher here.
Finding a flat area, Takumi began condensing the Herrscher Core of Ice.
Ayaka watched everything with curiosity.
Once the core was complete, Takumi integrated it into her body.
A burst of extreme cold exploded outward.
The cave froze instantly.
Nahida in Sumeru City sensed the aura in the desert region.
Her face was full of confusion.
But soon she realized—it must be Takumi.
After thinking for a moment, she ignored it and returned to her affairs.
Here, Takumi successfully transformed Kamisato Ayaka into a Herrscher.
Seeing Ayaka's appearance, Takumi's eyes lit up.
At this moment, the little turtle was dressed like a bride.
Truly not bad.
An Inazuma-style ceremonial wedding garment.
Just looking at it was amazing.
Ayaka stared at her own transformation in shock.
Her Vision had vanished, fusing into her completely.
The energy flowing inside her now seemed endless.
Incredible.
This power was far easier to use than elemental energy.
So this was Honkai power?
She lowered her head, examining her attire.
She was stunned.
Why did it look like Inazuma's traditional wedding clothing?
After examining it more, she confirmed it truly was modeled after the Inazuma wedding dress—only far more ornate.
Ayaka's face reddened.
"This outfit…"
Takumi smiled.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
"I think we should go back soon."
Ayaka blinked, puzzled.
But soon, she understood.
After everything ended, Ayaka returned to her ordinary appearance.
She glared angrily at Takumi.
For a well-educated lady, what had occurred just now was far too bold.
This man was going to corrupt her.
"Let's go back."
Takumi looked at her with a smile.
He took her hand and led her outside.
Outside, Takumi saw three elemental beings playing together.
He beckoned, and they flew to him immediately.
With them in tow, Takumi returned to Liyue.
Back in Guiliyuan, Takumi told Ayaka:
"I'll get busy first."
"I'll come play with you when I'm free."
Ayaka nodded.
"Alright. Go do your work."
She waved goodbye.
After parting with her, Takumi brought the three elemental beings to Guyun Pavilion.
There he found the Phaseless Ember diligently producing stone.
Seeing Takumi, the Phaseless Ember ran over like a loyal dog.
But upon noticing the other creatures beside Takumi, it instantly became displeased.
It felt they were stealing its master.
To be fair, Takumi was a Geo god, and this was its support pillar.
Why should non-Geo creatures follow him?
Sensing its agitation, Takumi said:
"Enough. Don't make trouble."
"Absorb this power."
Still jealous?
Interesting.
Takumi condensed Honkai energy and fed it the power.
To make it a follower.
Feeling the energy, the Phaseless Ember grew excited.
Without hesitation, it absorbed the power.
After confirming the connection was formed, Takumi continued:
"Good. Keep working. I'll go first."
Then he left with the remaining formless lifeforms.
When he appeared again, he was already at the snow-mountain mine.
He said to the Phaseless Pyre:
"You will stay here from now on."
"Thaw the frozen soil."
"And do not harm anyone."
"Otherwise I'll discipline you."
The Phaseless Pyre's mind filled with question marks.
It had to stay in this frozen wasteland?
It was extremely unhappy.
But seeing Takumi's firm gaze, it could only obey.
Takumi called the person in charge.
When the man saw the Phaseless Pyre, he nearly fainted.
"It will stay here from now on."
"If you have questions, contact me."
"It will handle heat and thawing."
"Explain everything to it."
"If it causes trouble, tell me immediately."
Hearing this, the Phaseless Pyre silently accepted.
The boss had spoken—there was nothing else to say.
After settling the matter, Takumi left with the Phaseless Water and Phaseless Grass.
Next objective: the other side of the snow mountain.
Time to subdue the Phaseless Ice.
There was no issue with the Phaseless Ice.
Once Takumi released the Herrscher of Ice power, it became obedient immediately.
After finishing that, he headed toward Mondstadt.
He would take the Phaseless Wind as well.
Takumi informed Jean about everything.
Learning that he intended to take the Phaseless Wind, Jean was confused.
Besides the Phaseless Wind, he also needed the Phaseless Thunder.
These were what Takumi required.
Jean asked:
[What do you need these elemental creatures for?]
[If you take the Phaseless Thunder, what about the power plant?]
Takumi replied:
[I'm gathering followers. I already have the other formless elements.]
[For the power plant, I'll give you several Electro Trees.]
[If that's not enough, Liyue can supply more.]
Electro Trees could replace the Phaseless Thunder easily.
After reading this, Jean thought for a moment and agreed.
Electro Trees were indeed more practical than the Phaseless Thunder.
Since Takumi already had replacements, she had no reason to object.
After confirming everything, Takumi acted immediately.
He collected the Phaseless Wind first.
Then he brought the gathered formless creatures to the Phaseless Thunder.
