[resident evil]: Phew, how refreshing.
[dark souls i]: Indeed, all the stress has been vented. It felt great.
[marvel]: To be honest, we should organize this activity more often. It's good for physical and mental health.
[ghostwire: tokyo]: Excuse me for asking, but you're talking about a dinner party, right?
[elden ring]: How is that possible? We're talking about the 'Beat Up Ashen One' activity.
[dark souls iii]:...Ashen Xia Yu's mouth twitched. These guys were too ruthless. What did he even do? Was it really necessary to hit him that hard?
[resident evil]: You guys joined the group quite late. Only we know how much the Ashen One deserves a beating.
[dark souls i]: Sigh, poor Ashen One. He must have accidentally burned his brain while crushing an ember.
[dark souls iii]: I ██████!
[Genshin Impact]: Forget that idiot. I just thought of something. Zombie, can your weapons slash through spatial rifts?
[Gourmand Dungeon]: That's right. These weapons are a combination of magic and technology. If we reverse-engineer them, we might even be able to mass-produce them.
[resident evil]: It's not that easy. Staves that create black holes, longswords that slash through space... even with finished products, reverse-engineering them would be very troublesome.
[Gourmand Dungeon]: It's a pity. The Supreme Union took the weapon manufacturing data with them when they left. Otherwise, with the blueprints, it would have been much easier.
[resident evil]: Indeed, it would be much more convenient with blueprints.
[Genshin Impact]: Hey, hey, aren't you guys getting off-topic?
[Gourmand Dungeon]: Then what do you want to say?
[Genshin Impact]: Since this weapon can slash through space, doesn't that mean it can also slash through my seal?!
Genshin Impact world, inside the Rock Spear Seal.
Demon God Xia Yu lay on a bean bag chair, voicing his hypothesis to his other selves in the Chat Group.
Even if Morax's Rock Spear Seal was constantly weakening, it wasn't something his current self could break. But if he used a weapon to cut through space and sever the connections between the sealing formations, wouldn't he have a chance to escape the sealed space?
Although this was just a guess, after thinking it over, the possibility of this hypothesis was undoubtedly very high.
Once the connections between the sealing formations were severed, he could then combine the power of his other selves to completely destroy the seal and regain his freedom.
When that time came, he could also restore his power and provide assistance to his other selves.
While staying in the sealed space as a shut-in wasn't exactly out of the question, it wouldn't do if the seal restricted his power.
So even if it was just to help his other selves, he had to break Morax's seal.
[Genshin Impact]: So, is this hypothesis feasible?
[Gourmand Dungeon]: Based on common rationality, your plan is highly feasible.
[Genshin Impact]: That's enough from you!
After discussing in the Chat Group for a while longer, Demon God Xia Yu received the power of his other selves and then pulled out the Starburst Sword that could slash through space.
"Phew, I hope this works."
Xia Yu gently stroked the blade and then paced within the sealed space. As the poor fellow who had been sealed, he was incredibly familiar with this place in his memory.
Of course, this part of the memory came from the Demon God of Soul. He hadn't transmigrated that long ago and hadn't looked at this sealed space in detail at all.
Thanks to the memory of the Demon God of Soul, Xia Yu knew the sealed space like the back of his hand and quickly found the connection points of the sealing formation.
These formations were all anchored by rock spears and drew power from the ley lines to maintain the seal's energy consumption.
After identifying the connection points of the seal, Xia Yu first applied several enhancement buffs to himself and then suddenly swung a sword qi as black as night.
In an instant, the sword qi from the Starburst Sword tore through the space it passed through, and even those incredibly hard rock spears were shredded.
The erupting spatial turbulence shredded everything it touched, and the layers of the formation maintaining the seal broke one by one.
Taking this opportunity, Xia Yu swung several more sword qis, which also aimed clearly at the formation's connection points, shredding everything they touched.
Rumble—!
In an instant, this space felt as if a magnitude ten earthquake had occurred, and everything around it was collapsing.
Seeing this, Xia Yu felt somewhat lucky. Fortunately, before he started acting, he had already put everything away, or it would definitely have been buried.
The next moment, pressure from his soul suddenly erupted from within him—the power that had been sealed by the rock spears had returned!
Xia Yu's face lit up with joy, and the weapon in his hand instantly swapped to the chaos demon sword. He then guided the chaos fire to ignite from the blade and plunged it fiercely into the ground.
Boom—!
The chaos fire instantly melted the ley lines here, and large plumes of magma erupted, covering the dim formation runes.
Taking this opportunity, Xia Yu gripped the hilt with both hands, twisted his waist, poured all his power into the blade, and then slashed upward fiercely.
Chii!
The ultimate flaming blade light sliced through layers of obstacles, and even the rock layers above melted under the compressed, solid blade light.
Then the blade light broke through the final obstacle, bursting through the surface with a "poof" before exploding in the air, turning into a rain of fire across the sky.
"These are the celebratory fireworks."
Xia Yu felt the power returning from the seal and couldn't help but smile. Then he flew into the air, heading toward the exit opened by the blade light.
Outside, the rain of fire transformed from the chaos fire fell from the sky, but before it could land, it was all sucked back by a pitch-black demon sword.
Xia Yu didn't intend to let the chaos fire just fall and burn. This wasn't ordinary fire; if left alone, it could cause unexpected damage.
"Ah~ the air of freedom!" Feeling the breeze on his face, Xia Yu shouted with exaggerated drama.
"It would be even better if you weren't here." As he spoke, he turned his head to look nearby.
There stood a tall figure in dark brown formal attire. The tips of his brown hair seemed to be glowing slightly, and his dark gold eyes watched the freed Xia Yu with a hint of indifference.
Being stared at like that, Xia Yu suddenly had a brain fart and said, "Yo yo yo, if it isn't Morax. Haven't seen you in thousands of years, and you've become so pathetic."
Although he didn't understand what "pathetic" meant, Zhongli still roughly understood the meaning from Xia Yu's tone and expression.
He sighed slightly. "After all, for the likes of us, erosion is inevitable. I didn't expect you to actually escape the seal, Samigina."
"What? Morax, do you want to seal me again?" Xia Yu replied with a light smile.
"Based on common rationality, that should indeed be the case."
Hearing this, the smile on Xia Yu's face grew even wider, but the chaos demon sword he had been holding ignited with fire once more.
Zhongli didn't seem to see this and continued to speak calmly, "But the Archon War is over. You and I have no reason to fight. I do not wish to go to war with you, provided you have no intention of destroying Liyue."
Good grief, so you don't care if I want to destroy other nations? That's too real.
This thought swirled in Xia Yu's mind but wasn't spoken. However, after learning Zhongli's attitude, he relaxed a little. He wasn't some anti-social or anti-human personality; how could he have thoughts of destroying this or that?
Besides, he really didn't have any hatred toward Zhongli. After all, it was the Demon God of Soul that the other party had sealed; what did it have to do with him, Xia Yu?
The flames of the chaos demon sword were extinguished, and Xia Yu put the demon sword away. Looking at Zhongli's current appearance, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Your current appearance?"
"I am no longer called Morax. You may call me Zhongli."
"Fine, don't call me Samigina either. Call me Xia Yu. But where is Liyue? Why don't you take me to see it?"
As a demon god who had been sealed thousands of years ago, it was reasonable for him not to know about Liyue.
Hearing this, Zhongli stared at Xia Yu for a moment before nodding. "Very well, follow me."
