His arms are exceptionally long.
Barbatos still remembers that fellow's stone-throwing technique was quite impressive.
The stones he threw were like shotgun blasts, instantly destroying several rows of houses.
The Survey Corps members were turned into a visible mist of blood.
His methods were extremely cruel.
"I am very curious now how Lord Su Bai will proceed next."
"He can't possibly truly let Zeke and Eren make contact, can he? After all, Eren Yeager is currently acting defiant and unruly."
"If he makes contact with Zeke, I bet he'd rather try to use his own methods to awaken Ymir and obtain the Founding Titan's power."
"He wouldn't listen to Lord Su Bai's arrangements at all."
"Right," Morax agreed, "After all, in Eren's heart, nothing is more important than freedom."
Zhongli: "To be honest, I'm also very curious about Su Bai's next move. I always feel like the Parallel Teyvat World's first expedition has gotten off to a rough start."
Venti: "It certainly got off to a rough start. Just as Su Bai said, he tried to tell everyone about the cruel future, attempting to change Eren's will, but it ended in failure. The Vision wielder selection didn't reach the ideal state either. He also wants Eren to make contact with Zeke. Does he intend to use Zeke's royal bloodline authority to command Ymir to submit to him?"
Yae Miko: "Oh dear, just thinking about it gives me a headache. Zeke won't obediently listen, and even if Zeke really does listen obediently, Eren is the biggest problem."
Raiden Ei: "What's the trouble with that? Su Bai must be deliberately letting the two of them make contact. Once Eren truly obtains the Founding Titan's power and initiates the Rumbling, Su Bai will be able to deal with Eren and Ymir together."
Jean: "It's a pity that the distribution of Visions wasn't as smooth as imagined. There are still many excellent people among the Eldians."
Keqing: "For example, Levi, Erwin, and Mikasa, why couldn't they obtain Visions?"
Ningguang: "If we follow the normal development of the world's future, Erwin, as the commander of the Survey Corps, was indeed very responsible. However, ever since Su Bai's arrival, he, seemingly exhausted both physically and mentally, placed all his hopes on Su Bai and chose to relax. Perhaps that's why he wasn't recognized."
Navia: "What about Mikasa? Mikasa and Levi's wills are still very strong. Is the reason they weren't chosen because of their deep-seated hatred for Marley?"
Navia: "I actually feel that, given their personalities, they shouldn't harbor such intense hatred for Marley."
Cloud Retainer: "The reason they weren't recognized, I think, should be related to the Ackerman clan itself."
Ganyu: "Huh? Does Vision selection also depend on bloodline?"
Cloud Retainer: "I told you the World of Titans is very strange, didn't I? The Ackerman clan is like a cursed clan, seemingly influenced by Ymir. The Ackerman clan has a strong servile nature, as if lacking the free consciousness and thought that humans should possess. They always have to bear some strange burdens. Under such circumstances, how could they be granted Visions?"
Cloud Retainer: "Unless they can realize this themselves. Otherwise, to obtain a Vision, they'll have to wait until Su Bai changes the World of Titans' will."
PS: Sorry, I have a fever and feel like vomiting when I sit in front of the computer. The update is a bit short.
Chapter 23: Mere flies, are they worthy of speaking with my master?
It's no wonder Cloud Retainer commented on the Ackerman clan in such a way.
The Ackerman clan obtained immense power through Titan experimentation.
Once their power awakens, they are like Titans in a human's small skin.
But because of this, they gained the power to resist the Founding Titan's brainwashing.
For this, the Eldian royal family, in order to consolidate its rule, persecuted the Ackerman clan to the point of extinction.
Among them, Levi's uncle, Kenny, in order to take revenge on the royal family, infiltrated the royal palace.
He failed.
However, the outcome was that the royal family at the time profusely apologized to Kenny and begged for forgiveness.
Kenny, as if summoned by something, transformed from a revenger into a member of the Military Police Brigade guarding the royal family.
Levi, who once roamed the underground district, similarly joined the Survey Corps under Erwin's influence, working diligently for the people within the Walls.
Even Mikasa Ackerman.
When members of the Ackerman clan awaken their superhuman strength, they seem to be bound by an invisible force.
Just as Kenny, before his death, directly stated that everyone is a slave to something.
However, Cloud Retainer's statement about the Ackerman's servile nature, lacking self-thought and consciousness, is somewhat extreme.
The World of Titans' will, in order to balance the Ackerman clan's immense strength, must find other people or things to restrain them.
Just like the erosion of Gods in the Teyvat World.
Under the order of Heavenly Principles, Gods will grow stronger and stronger due to the accumulation of belief.
Focalors collected five hundred years of belief power to destroy the Gnosis's throne.
What if she collected five thousand years?
Wouldn't that sink Celestia?
Therefore, the appearance of erosion is to prevent Gods from breaking free from the Heavenly Principles' control after obtaining enough belief power.
The stronger the God, the more severe the erosion they will encounter.
The powerful Ackerman clan would naturally also have other things to bind them.
As the absolute controller of the Vision system.
How could Su Bai grant Visions to the Ackerman clan when they haven't realized they are bound?
Conversely, if the Ackerman clan can truly obtain Visions, it indirectly means they are already able to recognize their own special circumstances.
If a person meets the conditions for Vision distribution, an Ackerman who receives a Vision will naturally break free from the World of Titans' will.
Royal Palace.
Su Bai watched Historia, who was currently demonstrating her power, from the window with boredom.
She was clearly shocked by the power brought by the Vision.
After obtaining the Vision, Historia felt much lighter physically and mentally, and the smile on her face grew brighter.
"Master…"
Asmodeus's voice sounded from behind him.
"Morax and Barbatos have returned. They said Zeke has landed on the island."
"They want me to ask you if they need to do anything?"
Su Bai waved his hand: "No need to do anything, just come back."
With an indifferent expression, Su Bai continued to stare out the window, silently observing Historia, Nahida, and Furina.
"Hmm…"
"Only the three of them can play together."
Asmodeus: "…"
Paimon: "Su Bai is so confident! Zeke is already on the island, and he still has the mind to watch Furina and the others play?"
Aether: "He's just putting on an act. He must be pretending to be calm because his expedition got off to a bad start."
Enjou: "Hahaha, even if his authority is terrifying, the unsuccessful distribution of Visions is still a blow to Su Bai."
Jean: "…"
Lisa: "I don't understand why you two are so excited. The Visions weren't successfully distributed because the Eldians weren't qualified, alright?"
Keqing: "That's right, the loss is theirs, not the Parallel Teyvat World's. After all, people with Visions have the possibility of traveling to the Parallel Teyvat World. Do you really think any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get a Vision?"
Lumine: "I told you, he must have anticipated everything, which is why he's so confident."
Lumine: "How boring. If he can already predict people's endings, wouldn't life be devoid of any freshness?"
Yae Miko: "Look how anxious our Fourth Descender is. I feel that if Su Bai can truly predict the subsequent developments, it would be the safest for them. After all, the Parallel Teyvat World is invading other worlds and also confronting the world's will; they can't be careless."
Nahida: "My counterpart from the Parallel Teyvat World is actually playing with the royal princess of the World of Titans. She's made new friends."
Nilou: "Lesser Lord Kusanali, please be more confident. In the parallel world, you are still a God under Lord Sustainer of Heavenly Principles Su Bai, so your status is nobler than Historia's."
Navia: "And our Hydro… uh… Miss Furina. But Miss Furina's expression doesn't look too good."
Nonsense!
Even Historia from the World of Titans can use elemental power, yet I'm still just an ordinary person who can't even defeat a Slime.
How can I not worry about them discovering my weakness?
Furina secretly clenched her small fists.
I really don't understand what the Heavenly Principles of the neighboring Teyvat World is thinking. He's probably doing it on purpose.
Just like deliberately toying with Annie's trio.
Asmodeus hesitated to speak.
After waiting for a long time, Su Bai turned around and asked with a smile: "Did you seal Mikasa?"
Asmodeus nodded.
Her heart was filled with excitement.
Indeed, nothing could be hidden from her master.
"Hmph!" Asmodeus snorted coldly: "Flying around like flies with those strange devices."
