Chapter 563: Kill the Heavenly Principles? Replace Them?
[Ainz: It's here! Doom Companion is here!]
[Mikoto Suoh: As expected.]
[March 7th: Alas, a world plagued by disasters. What happened to Fufu's world this time?]
[Fufu: Well, I don't know the specifics. It's just that after Ren showed me the essence of Teyvat, it appeared.]
[Ch'en: So what did you see?]
[Fufu: ...I saw Teyvat heading towards self-destruction.]
[Shiroyasha: Oh, so your world is about to burn out.]
[Nami: Wait! Doesn't that mean there are no enemies this time? It's purely about saving a world!]
[Stella: I can defeat opponents, but changing a world...] In the middle of a duel, Stella effortlessly sliced off her opponent's chest emblem. Having undergone ability enhancement, she was now so strong that no one in Hagun Academy could make her exert herself. She left without looking back. Seeing the mission conditions, she realized she was still too weak.
In the director's office, Shinguji Kurono was surprised as she studied Stella's recent performance. "It seems the entrance exam wasn't rigorous enough. This isn't the power an ordinary student possesses."
[Yuzuriha Inori: @Ren, can I go directly?]
[Ren: Of course. If you have something on hand, you can deal with it first. This isn't urgent.]
[Yuzuriha Inori: Mhm.]
As soon as she replied, space in front of Furina began to fluctuate. Focalors, Skirk, and Neuvillette looked over. The sudden appearance of a beautiful girl caught their attention. Before they could ask, they saw her gaze lock onto Ren, and she walked directly to him. "Ren, I'm here."
This speed... is quite fast. He asked curiously, "Inori, didn't I say you don't have to be in such a hurry?"
She gently shook her head. "Because I really wanted to see you, so I came directly." Such pure love brought him a sense of sweet contentment. "I miss you too." He cupped her cheeks. Realizing his intent, she cooperatively tilted her head.
Neuvillette politely averted his gaze. Skirk was merely curious. Only Focalors, while curious, also noticed the faint envy in Furina's eyes.
[Beibei: Um, it seems my name is on the list. Can everyone explain?]
[Kushina: Well, it means Fufu's world is facing its end, and the chosen companions need to help.]
[Beibei: !!! Ugh, I feel like I'm very weak. I probably can't do much. But if my strength is needed, what should I do?]
[Vivi: Just confirm the companionship. And you too, Durandal-san.]
[Durandal: Thank you, I already know.]
[Kiana: I've already explained it to her.]
[Tingyun: Oh? It sounds like you two have a good relationship, Kiana-chan.]
[Kiana: Hehe, I don't know why, but I feel a strong sense of closeness to her.]
[Durandal: ...Although I don't know why, I feel the same.]
[Aqua: Soulmates?]
The chat members were still talking, and both Durandal and Beibei had confirmed.
"Another world! No Honkai energy!" Durandal, armed in armor and holding a spear, immediately noticed upon arriving that there was no Honkai here.
"Hmm, no magic either," Beibei had the same feeling.
"Welcome," Ren gently waved.
"Administrator-san?" Durandal asked, guessing.
"No need for that. Just call me Ren."
"Um… Ren, who are these people?" Focalors looked puzzled.
"They're here to visit. I suppose Fontaine would welcome them?" he winked at Furina.
She looked blankly, but Focalors instantly got it. "Of course! Fontaine welcomes everyone!"
Neuvillette, who had guessed her identity, had nothing to say.
"Hmm?" Durandal frowned. "Aren't we here to save the world?"
"The world needs saving, but leave it to me," Ren spread his hands. "You guys just have fun and enjoy the scenery."
Beibei said, "Eh!"
"What are you going to do?" Ren left Fontaine, and only Skirk followed with a strong desire for knowledge.
"Literally, save Teyvat."
"…" Skirk, of course, knew what he meant, but she wanted to know how. She speculated, "Are you going to kill the Heavenly Principles?"
He looked back in confusion. "Why?"
"The Heavenly Principles restrict Teyvat. Since you want to save it, aren't you going to kill and replace them?" her guess was based on the reality of Teyvat.
However, Ren shook his head. "Restriction is also protection." The Heavenly Principles might be the big boss in the eyes of the Archons, but in his opinion, they were not an enemy. On the contrary, they were protecting Teyvat.
