Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 305 It doesn’t matter, I will take action

After hearing Dain's story, Paimon looked at the ruins guard with a touch more pity.

Five hundred years of aimless wandering, the love and hate between machines and humans...

Even though the machine is too old to speak, it still protects us in its own way. How romantic!

Ying made up her mind that from now on, she would never detour whenever she saw the guardians of the ruins, and she would make sure that their suffering ended as soon as possible.

After a moment of silence, Dain continued, “Alright, delving any deeper will only make those details meaningless to you. But whatever the past was, at least now they're only the ‘threat’ parts. Let’s deal with them all.”

The group swiftly dealt with the Abyss Mage and then began investigating the surrounding area.

Not long after, Paimon exclaimed, "Hey, what's that rune coming out of this abyss mage...?"

Upon hearing this, Dayn gathered around.

"Hmm, this aura is undoubtedly related to the 'Abyssal Apostle.' Since it's on an Abyssal Mage... perhaps it's some important message that needs to be conveyed."

"But I can't understand the writing on it. Is it Kanria's script?"

Seeing that Paimon didn't recognize the writing, Dain wasn't surprised and began translating the text.

"...Using the enemy's faith as fuel to offer glory to the noble prince—'The Loom of Destiny,' the original plan." They...the abyss, seem to be executing a plan. The key word of the plan is...the loom of destiny. It currently seems to be in the initial stages, or rather, still undergoing preliminary testing.

"The loom of fate? What's that? The literal meaning seems to be... 'a machine for weaving fate'?"

After Paimon raised this question, Ying guessed, "Could it be related to the reversed idol?"

"Hey, now that you mention it, judging from the atmosphere, there's a high possibility that that eerie ruin is related to this plan. So, Dain, what exactly did the letter say?"

“I’m reading…”

Seeing that Dai Yin was reading carefully, Huiyuan offered Ying a guess.

"The loom of fate weaves destiny...and you control the course of your destiny..."

Seeing Huiyuan muttering to himself, Ying asked, "Do you have any guesses?"

"I'm wondering if one day in the future we might cooperate with the Abyss Order because we want to defy fate... But that's all in the future, and it's completely impossible right now."

At this moment, Dain, having finished reading the contents of the talisman, spoke.

"Hmm...the wildly imaginative plan also has some parts that are hard to understand."

Paimon became curious after hearing Dain's assessment.

"what happened?"

"In short, the initial plan is related to the vortex demon god [Oser]."

"Osel...! Isn't that the giant octopus from the sea we saw before?!"

Upon receiving this information, Ying couldn't help but feel worried.

Paimon was shocked, but after calming down, many questions arose in his mind.

"But speaking of which, what do they want to do to Osel? Hmm..."

Ying guessed, "Could it be like Dvalin?"

"First it was 'the servant of God,' now it's 'ancient demon god'... The target is getting bigger and bigger. This time, will the Abyss, like it did with Dvalin, try to corrupt Oser with lies and sorcery?"

After hearing Ying and Paimon's guesses, Dain denied them.

"No... judging from the above, this plan goes a step further. It's not just about modifying the will—they intend to use the technology to create 'plowing machines' to completely transform Oser's body."

Upon receiving this answer, Paimon gradually envisioned a mechanical octopus with red eyes.

"Is...is this even possible? Does the Abyss Order intend to create...the 'Ultimate Killing Machine, the Mechanical Demon Squid'?!"

Ying was also very shocked and said, "The nickname has gotten longer!"

Huiyuan then retorted, "You're not shocked by the right thing! Cough cough... Besides, if it really is just a giant mechanical octopus, then it's not so bad... It's not like we can't fight it."

At this point, Daines Reb spoke again.

"Nowadays, very few people in the world truly understand the level of civilization in Kanria, and it is difficult to make a judgment. Only the Abyss Order has been pursuing the lost civilization of Kanria, even though they are no longer human, their obsession still remains."

The text states that they will use the "tainted, reversed idol" as a base, combining it with Oser's limbs to create a mechanical demon. And the "new core" to replace the jewel in the idol's hand is... "the eye of the world's first tillage machine."

After listening to Dain's explanation, Paimon suddenly understood.

"The eyes of the world's first tillage machine? Oh! I see, this is what those abyss mages have been searching for, isn't it?"

"I suppose so."

At this moment, Ying said, "They haven't been found yet, there's still time. And... at worst, we still have Little Yuanbao~"

Huiyuan nodded and echoed, "It doesn't matter, I will take action."

They smiled at each other, the two best friends exuding confidence.

Seeing the two of them like this, Dain didn't know what to say, but he gave them a word of advice.

"General Yuan is so confident, he must have a solid foundation. But even so, please be extra careful."

"Don't worry, of course I'll be careful, but I can't show my weak side in front of my friends!"

Seeing that Huiyuan said this, Daiyin brought the topic back.

"According to the incantation, placing the eye of the first tiller in the hand of the 'Reversed Idol of Impurity'... will grant the newly born Impurity Demon the power to 'shake the throne on the Sky Isle.'"

Upon hearing the words "Sky Island," Ying couldn't help but look up in one direction, towards the "Sky Island" that floated in that position day and night.

The throne? Does the Abyss Order want to destroy the seven ruling positions in the mortal world?

Huiyuan was reminded of the storyline involving Fontaine in the game...

The water god had accumulated power for hundreds of years, only to destroy himself and his throne one day in the future, and return the power that rightfully belonged to the water dragon king to him.

The Water God's goal is to return power, so what is the Abyss Order's goal? Are they allies fighting against the laws of nature? Or are they enemies seeking to destroy both the laws of nature and Teyvat through extreme means?

Huiyuan didn't bother to think about it, because as long as the enemy was in his way, he would just kill them.

After his little brain processed the massive amount of information, Paimon couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"Hmm... the thing this plan is trying to fight is unbelievably huge. Speaking of which, since no one knows where the 'world's first tillage machine' is, perhaps... we could start by investigating the 'statue' information?"
