Chapter 620: The Memory Devil God Loses Control, Aventurine is a Bit Panicked
In terms of judging people, although Aventurine didn't think he could surpass La Signora Jade who discovered him, he believed he wasn't bad in this regard either
.Although Teyvat Passengers like Paimon and Collei seem to have gained the ability to step onto the Path relatively easily due to some influence from Luo Feng.
But Aventurine believes that Teyvat Passengers still need to meet the basic conditions for stepping onto the Path, which is to at least do things that practice the corresponding Path.
Aventurine has investigated the experiences of some Teyvat Passengers stepping onto the Path through his own means.
These people almost all gained The Power of Destiny when they practiced certain definitions of a certain Path.
Even the way some passengers practiced the Path seemed somewhat childish to Aventurine and shouldn't have gained the Path's favor.
As for Paimon, Aventurine really couldn't see how her current actions were practicing a certain Path.On the other hand, Collei's eager posture to destroy the cage-like protective shield he added for them does correspond to the definition of the Destruction Path.
"That being said, merely this level shouldn't be enough to step onto the Destruction Path... even with Luo Feng's influence."
Aventurine shook his head and muttered inwardly, controlling the protective shield temporarily holding Paimon and Collei as he walked towards Clock Studios Theme Park.
As things stand, Aventurine can clearly feel that his time is running out.
If he continues to let time pass, he will only become a part of eternity because of Harmonys Sanctification.
Therefore, even if his next actions might slightly offend Luo Feng.
Aventurine can only choose to use a slightly tougher approach to use Teyvat Passengers to guide Luo Feng into his plan.
"I hope my death won't cause Luo Feng to vent his anger on Topaz and Jade, or even the Strategic Investment Department."
"...If Topaz knew about my plan, she would probably try her best to stop it."
Aventurine muttered in his heart, walking faster and faster with a smile on his face, leaving behind a mess of irrational Dreamjolt Troupe members he had destroyed.
[Tartaglia: This Aventurine, he actually made a move against the Teyvat Passengers. Looking at him, is he planning to imprison Paimon and Collei?]
[La Signora: Aventurine said earlier that he wanted Paimon and Collei to notify the other Teyvat Passengers and Luo Feng to go to that Clock Studios Theme Park. This man is clearly targeting Luo Feng.]
[Faruzan: Indeed! Imprisoning Collei and Paimon is fake, luring Luo Feng is the real goal. After all, Paimon and Collei shouldn't have much use for Aventurine.]
[Dehya: Could it be that Collei deduced Aventurine's purpose, and so Aventurine became enraged out of humiliation?]
[Dunyarzad: Could it be that Aventurine wants to prevent Collei and Paimon from telling people from the Family like Sunday about his purpose?]
[Tighnari: Regardless of what his purpose is, the current situation is very unfavorable for Collei.]
[Cyno: Collei's body is still affected by high-concentration Memory, and the Demon God Residue formed by the Memory might still be hidden within her body.]
[Amber: This is bad, this is bad. Isn't Collei just too unlucky!]
[Eula: If Collei notifies Luo Feng, Lord Luo Feng will come to help, right? After all, Luo Feng helped Collei clear the Demon God Residue once before.]
[Kaeya: It's hard to say. Given that girl's personality, since she knows Aventurine might be planning to use her to cause trouble for Lord Luo Feng, she probably won't trouble Luo Feng as Aventurine wishes.]
[Dr.: Moreover, if you rely on Lord Luo Feng for everything, there's no way to step onto the Path. Although I don't think Paimon can truly step onto the Path at any time as she claims. After all, she didn't gain any of The Power of Destiny during her last journey. On the other hand, that Collei, she might still have a certain chance.]
[Amber: This is not the time to research whether or not you can step onto the Path! Please, you must be alright, Collei!]
......…
Penacony Dream.
Clock Studios Theme Park.
The usually lively theme park was unusually quiet at this moment.
Beneath the iconic stage inside the park, there were only Aventurine and Collei and Paimon, whom Aventurine had imprisoned in the 'cage' formed by The Power of Preservation.
"I say, Miss, it's about time you gave up, isn't it?"
"With your novel yet weak green power, there's no way to break through the shield I formed using The Power of Destiny."
Aventurine lowered the suspended 'cage' and said to Collei, who was still attempting to destroy it from inside the cage with pitiful arrows.
"Unless I try until the very end, how could I give up?"
With determined eyes, Collei drew her longbow and shot another arrow.
Unfortunately, this time was still the same as before; the arrow imbued with Dendro energy failed to cause any damage to the golden protective shield.
What seemed like a resolute strike didn't even create a single crack on the protective shield.
"Why bother?"
Aventurine shook his head:
"As long as you notify the other Teyvat Passengers and Luo Feng to come to Clock Park, I will release you."
"I know that you people have ways to contact each other."
Collei didn't answer Aventurine, just continued to draw and shoot arrows as before.
Seeing this, Aventurine shrugged and looked at Paimon.
"Don't... don't look at me, I'm a person with a lot of backbone."
Paimon puffed out her chest and said. Despite this, her body still couldn't stop trembling.
But even though she was scared, she, like Collei, didn't want to fulfill Aventurine's wish and notify the Traveler and the others to come.
After hearing Collei's analysis of Aventurine and seeing his current performance, she was truly afraid that as soon as Lumine arrived, Aventurine would imprison the Traveler just as he had done to her.
As for Luo Feng, Paimon, believing he definitely had a way to deal with Aventurine, wanted to contact him.
Unfortunately, she sent a private message through the forum, but there was no response from Luo Feng.
"It seems I should re-evaluate you, Ms. Paimon..."
Aventurine was speaking when he suddenly frowned and looked at Collei.
"What is that thing?"
"What thing?"
Paimon subconsciously followed Aventurine's gaze and instantly widened her eyes.
Collei, just like before, drew her bow and nocked an arrow, attempting to break through Aventurine's shield.
This way, Aventurine might keep his promise and let them leave.
What was different this time was that as Collei drew her bow and nocked an arrow, the Devil God phantom that had been hidden within her body reappeared.
"Oh no! Collei, are you... are you okay!"
Paimon flew towards Collei in worry, but a strong gust of wind around Collei directly blew Paimon to the edge of the shield.
And Collei, as if completely unaware, shot the arrow in her hand.
This time, after the arrow hit the shield, it didn't fail to cause even a ripple as before, but instead produced a clearly audible muffled sound.
[Acheron: It worked? No, now is not the time to worry about that! The Demon God Residue on Collei has appeared again, and it looks much more obvious than before!]
[Tighnari: Is it because of excessive use of power, which stimulated the Demon God Residue to reappear?]
[Dr.: That arrow just now was much more powerful. Could it be that the high concentration of Memory directly resurrected the power of the Devil God?]
[Rhinedottir: The power of the Demon God Residue on Collei now might be much stronger than the original. Otherwise, it should still be very difficult to shake Aventurine's shield.]
[Barbeloth: In terms of energy quantity alone, high concentration of Memory might indeed be much more than Demon God Residue.]
"This is!"
Aventurine raised an eyebrow.Just now, he clearly saw the phantom that emerged from Collei pouring power into the arrow in Collei's hand.
It was because of this energy that Collei's arrow was much stronger.
However, Collei seemed unable to control this power, to the extent that even Paimon was affected.
"Although I don't know what's going on with this power of yours, I think you'd better use it carefully."
"Using it too much won't do your body any good."
Aventurine said to Collei with a serious expression.
Collei: "..."
She didn't speak, but her eyes flickered with red light, and she continued to draw her bow and nock arrows.
Arrows, each condensed with the power of the "Demon God Residue," bombarded the shield created by Aventurine, emitting muffled sounds.
Vaguely, it seemed as if some cracks had indeed appeared on the golden shield.
However, the price was that the black mist on Collei became increasingly dense.
"This doesn't look good."
Aventurine frowned tightly; he could tell that Collei at this moment wasn't ignoring him, but had temporarily lost the ability to think, merely continuing to draw her bow and nock arrows based on instinct.
"Paimon, what's wrong with her?"
Aventurine turned to look at Paimon and asked.
"Huh?"
Paimon looked at Aventurine blankly.Seeing this, Aventurine could only ask again helplessly.
"That's the effect of high concentration of Memory..."
Seeing Collei's situation getting worse, Paimon couldn't care less and blurted out everything she knew about Collei's past and what Collei had suffered in the gap between reality and dreams.
"So that's it, she actually has such a past."
Aventurine raised his hand to support his chin, his frown deepening.
"Now is not the time to sigh, Aventurine."
"You have a way to stop Collei, right? We can't let her continue using this power."
Paimon said anxiously.
"Indeed, we can't let her continue using this power."
Aventurine completely agreed with Paimon's statement.
He had only temporarily trapped Paimon and Collei with his power to get Luo Feng to Clock Studios Theme Park.
But if things developed to the point where Collei's situation became more severe, this was not the outcome Aventurine wanted to see.
"Alright, no need to keep attacking, come out."
Aventurine beckoned to Collei, and she flew directly from the golden energy shield to his side.
Then, Aventurine raised his hand and sent out a golden energy that landed on Collei's body, and the black Demon God Residue behind her gradually re-submerged into her body.
Without the support of this power, Collei's legs went soft, and she sat down on the ground.
"Phew, thank goodness!"
Paimon finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Collei's situation improve.
"Don't relax too early, I've only temporarily dispersed the power that emerged from her."
"That power that greatly affects her body hasn't disappeared. To truly solve her problem, you might still need to find Luo Feng."
Aventurine said to Paimon.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and let us go find Luo Feng."
Paimon said anxiously.
Hearing this, Aventurine tentatively suggested, "How about you invite Luo Feng to come over?"
Paimon: "..."
"Alright, I get it, please don't look at me like that."
Aventurine shrugged and looked at Collei, who was gradually regaining self-awareness in front of him, and said:
"Leave Clock Studios Theme Park and go find Luo Feng to see if he can help you with your problem."
"You'd best not use that power again, otherwise it might cause irreversible effects on you."
"preservation power I've left on you can ensure that you won't be suddenly attacked by the rampaging Dreamjolt Troupe on your way out."
"Perhaps it's because there are some problems with Penacony's wonderful dreams, there are more and more problematic Dreamjolt Troupe members here recently."
Collei was a little stunned when she heard Aventurine's words:
"You're willing to let me leave?"
"Otherwise?" Aventurine shrugged helplessly and explained:
"It's not possible to really let you continue using that power that's bad for your body while you're here."
"Of course, I do hope that after you find other Teyvat Passengers and Luo Feng, you can ask them to come here.
"For Aventurine, the most important thing was, of course, to get Luo Feng to Clock Studios Theme Park.
However, Aventurine was not sure that just one Paimon could attract Luo Feng.
For this reason, more Teyvat Passengers coming to Clock Studios Theme Park was a necessary matter.
......
Chapter 621 Collei Enters the Aeon Space, Paimon is Stunned
[Dr.: What a pity, Aventurine actually helped Collei. This way, won't I be unable to see what kind of power the Demon God Residue transformed from high concentration of Memory can unleash?]
[Citlali: Could it be that this Aventurine is actually a good person? No, this guy is still holding Paimon captive, so he's definitely not a good person.]
[Kaeya: It's obvious, this man is a bit bad, but not completely bad.]
[Ningguang: Is there something he wants Luo Feng to help with, but is worried that Luo Feng won't help, so he resorted to this tactic?]
[Xilonen: Asking Lord Luo Feng for help in this way, Luo Feng probably won't give Aventurine a good look.]
[La Signora: Could it be that Aventurine feels his time is running out, and his self-will will soon be erased by Harmonys Sanctification, which is why he is so eager to see Luo Feng?]
[Dr.: If that's really the case, then this Aventurine might still be capable of doing some more extreme things.]
[Rhinedottir: Now he is willing to let Collei go because he doesn't want to completely offend Luo Feng. But if he cannot achieve his goal, Paimon, whom he left behind... her fate might be very tragic.]
[Navia: It... it should be fake, right?]
[Wriothesley: It's hard to say, he's now asking Collei to have other Teyvat Passengers come to this Clock Studios Theme Park, perhaps with the idea of using more people to threaten Luo Feng.]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Can the lives of Teyvat Passengers threaten that man? I don't think so!]
[Zhongli: The Sustainer is absolutely right! Furthermore, passengers have an obligation not to become Lord Luo Feng's weakness!]
As the Rock God Zhongli, who had previously traveled to Belobog and the Xianzhou Luofu aboard the Astral Express, he deeply understood the obligations of a Teyvat Traveler venturing into the Universe, and also knew the rules they should abide by.
Luo Feng had already said that he would not necessarily provide security services.
Whether he would provide corresponding security services ultimately depended on his mood.
Therefore, as Teyvat Passengers, they should either stay honestly by Luo Feng's side at all times. Or, they should abide by the rules of the travel destination and not go to dangerous places.
If something happened to the Teyvat Passengers because they violated the travel rules, the passengers shouldn't complain about Luo Feng. Not to mention, becoming someone's leverage to put Luo Feng in a bad situation.
Zhongli had personally warned the Tivat People about this point when the Astral Express route from Liyue to Xianzhou Luofu was first established.
[Alice: The Geo Archon is right, although there are some things we can hope Luo Feng can help with, it's best not to become his weakness. If this affects the nature of his travel agency, it will be a loss for all of us Teyvat People.]
[Dr.: Well then, let me see how Collei will decide. I hope she doesn't bore me too much.]
[Faruzan: You guy, you're really quite malicious. Collei won't fulfill your wish, I believe in her!]
"You let me go, and then let me call the other passengers here?"
Collei stood up, frowning tightly as she asked Mr. Aventurine.
"Precisely, it's 'invite'!"Mr. Aventurine smiled slightly and said.Collei frowned even tighter:
"Then you'll trap the other passengers just like you trapped me?"
Mr. Aventurine spread his hands and said: "Please don't be so grim, I actually have no ill intentions towards everyone!"
Collei: "But if acting against us can help you reclaim Penacony, you will act, right."
Mr. Aventurine: "That's really quite a tricky question."
Collei: "But you didn't deny it!"
Hearing Collei's words, Mr. Aventurine shrugged helplessly and said to Collei:
"You are smarter than you appear on the surface, and you have more backbone."
"In a different setting, I would be very happy to chat with you."
"But I don't want to chat with you."
Collei shook her head and said:"
I also won't call the other passengers here as you wish, much less call Luo Feng here."
Knowing that calling other passengers might lead to them being attacked by Mr. Aventurine, the kind Collei naturally couldn't agree to Mr. Aventurine.
As for Luo Feng, Collei believed Luo Feng possessed great power, but Mr. Aventurine was backed by a massive organization like the Interstellar Peace Corporation.
If the Interstellar Peace Corporation's attitude towards reclaiming Penacony was extremely firm, to the point of not being afraid of offending Luo Feng, calling Luo Feng might bring him great trouble.
Although Luo Feng might truly be a trailblaze aeon who is awakening, he is still very likely not one yet.
In other words, the power Luo Feng currently possessed might not be absolutely capable of dealing with the Interstellar Peace Corporation.
Furthermore, even if Luo Feng could handle it, making the Interstellar Peace Corporation an enemy for Luo Feng was not what Collei wished for.
"You're telling me all this now, aren't you afraid I won't let you go?"
Mr. Aventurine looked at the determined Collei and asked with interest.
"So, don't let me go, change it to letting Paimon leave."
Collei said, looking at Paimon who was pressed against the protective shield.
Although Paimon didn't speak, Collei could see her panic.
Collei could roughly understand Paimon's feelings at the moment with a little thought.
Paimon always stayed with Lumine, the Traveler, and whenever something happened, Lumine would protect her.
Now that Paimon was separated from Lumine, the powerless Paimon must be very scared.
"You want to replace Paimon? Why?"
Mr. Aventurine asked with surprise and curiosity.
"Although it might sound a bit bad to say this, my strength is indeed a bit stronger than Paimon's."
"I have a certain ability to protect myself, and I'm also used to being outside alone."
"I think I am more suitable to stay than Paimon, aren't I."
Collei took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and looked at Mr. Aventurine nervously.She genuinely wanted to help Paimon, but she didn't know if such a far-fetched reason could persuade Mr. Aventurine.
"You are stronger, and Paimon is weaker. Helping the weak with strength, huh!"
Mr. Aventurine glanced at Collei with a hint of pity, then turned his head towards Paimon and said:
"But unfortunately, given your physical condition, Collei, it's best to see Lord Luo Feng quickly."
"Although Paimon is relatively frail, her physical condition is at least not in an unstable state like yours... Heh, it seems that's not entirely true."
A light flashed in Mr. Aventurine's eyes. He hadn't noticed Paimon's situation before.
But upon closer inspection now, Mr. Aventurine discovered that Paimon's body also seemed to hide some kind of secret.
"Wh... what?"
Paimon noticed Mr. Aventurine's somewhat strange eyes and backed away a step in fear.
"Could it be that Paimon was also affected by high concentration Memory?"
Collei ran towards Paimon, a little nervous.Unfortunately, Mr. Aventurine just waved his hand, and a golden isolation wall was erected in front of Collei.
"Alright, you've delayed here for too long."
"It's time to leave, Miss Collei."
Mr. Aventurine pointed in the direction of the Clockie Studio entrance, the meaning of driving her away was already very obvious.
Collei took a deep breath, her eyes firm as she looked at Mr. Aventurine:
"Let Paimon leave, I'll stay!"
Although she didn't know what Mr. Aventurine meant earlier, now that she knew there might be some problem with Paimon, how could Collei choose to leave?
Perhaps Paimon had also accidentally been contaminated with high concentration Memory earlier.
It just hadn't manifested yet.
She herself had her past nightmares reappear due to the high concentration Memory.
If the powerless Paimon experienced the same situation as her due to the high concentration Memory...
Just thinking of such a possibility made Collei even more determined to stay at Clockie Studio.
Mr. Aventurine frowned and was about to persuade Collei again when the previous huge black phantom suddenly reappeared on her body.
"Miss Collei, what are you doing? Why are you forcibly and actively using this power?"
Mr. Aventurine frowned and asked.
Collei folded her arms across her chest, enduring the pain of using this unfamiliar power, and looked up at Mr. Aventurine, saying:
"Although I don't know what you're looking for Luo Feng for, since you're willing to let me go, it means you don't want to offend Luo Feng too much, right, Mr. Aventurine."
"But if something happens to me here because I use this power, doesn't it mean that your idea of not completely offending Luo Feng will be declared bankrupt? Cough cough!"
As her voice fell, Collei coughed heavily twice, spitting blood that turned purple onto the ground!
[Tighnari: This is bad, the backlash of this power has begun!]
[Amber: No, Collei, don't use that power anymore.]
[Dr.: Hahaha, keep going. Let me see what kind of end using this power continuously will lead to!]
[Faruzan: You guy are really annoying!]
"Stop it quickly, Collei. Don't use that power anymore, you can't control it."
Paimon leaned on the protective shield, tapping hard on the shield wall that separated her from Collei.
Seeing Collei spitting blood, and even direct tearing wounds starting to appear on her body, Paimon felt an indescribable worry and emotion.
If it weren't for the positive Abundance-natured buff that Luo Feng had placed on Collei helping her repair the wounds, Paimon even felt that Collei would be in mortal danger right now.
Although Luo Feng had the ability to revive the dead, Paimon didn't dare to bet on the possibility of Luo Feng reviving Collei.
Even though Luo Feng seemed to have no bad impression of Collei.
"Don't worry, Paimon, I'll help you get out of there."
Collei looked up and smiled at Paimon.
Her eyes gradually turned red, and soon, the whites of her eyes completely turned blood red.
This scene not only scared Paimon, but even Mr. Aventurine was a little scared.
"This is not within the scope of my gamble."
Mr. Aventurine patted his forehead helplessly. He could see now that this Collei looked fragile, but when she was stubborn, she was no different from himself.
"In a different setting, we might become friends. Forget it, I... agree..."
Mr. Aventurine's speaking speed quickly slowed down, and his body movements gradually stopped completely.
A hint of confusion flashed in Paimon's eyes.
By the time she reacted, she had already arrived in a very familiar space.
"Ah? What's going on, how did I suddenly get here?"
"Who stepped onto the Path at this time... Wait, how is it Collei?"
Paimon's eyes widened, looking at Collei standing in front of the huge pillar of light in the distance with extreme shock.
"That's what I should be asking you, you clearly remember being with Collei, right?"
A voice very familiar to Paimon suddenly sounded behind her.
"It's the Traveler, great!"
Paimon pounced onto Lumine's face, so excited she couldn't control herself.
"What's wrong, why are you suddenly like this?"
Lumine took Paimon off her face and asked strangely.
"Traveler, didn't you notice what happened over there?"Paimon whimpered, looking at Lumine with a wronged expression.
"Ahaha, well... after I saw that you and Collei were fine, Stelle pulled me along to find Himeko and Luo Feng."
Lumine rubbed the back of her head and said sheepishly.
"So, Paimon, what exactly happened over there?"
"Why did Collei get the chance to step onto a Path?"
Clorinde asked curiously.
"Clorinde, didn't you watch the live stream either?"
Paimon pouted.
"I was listening to Luo Feng introduce knowledge about the Doctor of Chaos to Sigewinne."
Although the person who was going to become a Doctor of Chaos was Sigewinne, it was a rare opportunity to learn new knowledge about the Universe, so Clorinde naturally wanted to record it properly.
Moreover, Sigewinne was also her friend, which made Clorinde even more eager to learn about the Doctor of Chaos.
After all, even if Sigewinne became a Doctor of Chaos, it wouldn't change the fact that she had already stepped onto the Path of Nihility.
Even with the influence of the Path of Abundance, Sigewinne might still slowly approach the realm of nihility.
Clorinde felt that perhaps if she learned more about the Doctor of Chaos, she might be able to help Sigewinne in the future.

Chapter 622: Aventurine Expects Luo Feng to Call, Scattering Chips Across the Sky
[Lisa: Jade?]
[Candace: Who is this?]
[Ningguang: Aventurine's senior, also one of the Stoneheart Ten?]
[Xilonen: If the Jade mentioned by Luo Feng is also one of the Stoneheart Ten like Aventurine, could it be that the stone in Sunday's hand that looks somewhat like Aventurine Stone is from this Lady Jade?]
[Charlotte: It sounds like it's not impossible, although I'm more concerned about why Jade's lipstick appeared in Luo Feng's hand.]
[Wriothesley: So Charlotte also cares about gossip news.]
[Charlotte: Cough cough, I'm just simply concerned about news related to Luo Feng. After all, news related to him is basically big news that can sell well in Fontaine.]
[Wriothesley: That's true! Although I don't know what kind of ability the "contract" that Luo Feng specifically threw towards the Travelers has, since it's a "contract" specifically aimed at the power Aventurine is currently unleashing, it will probably greatly surprise Aventurine.]
[Barbara: So, can we be at ease about the Travelers over there?]
[Kaeya: Considering the killing move Miss Ningguang unleashed when she fought Phantylia, if Aventurine can also use similar moves, unless Lumine and Stelle unleash power far beyond our imagination, otherwise Luo Feng will probably have to step in in the end.]
"Jade from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, I have heard of this person."
"I heard she is a rather dangerous moneylender, but I didn't expect Lord Luo Feng you could also use her ability."
Himeko said to Luo Feng after thinking for a while.
"Luo Feng, you still haven't said how you got the lipstick from Jade."
March 7th poked Luo Feng in the waist with her arm, gossiping.
"What I mean is that this lipstick I have is the same model as Jade's lipstick, it doesn't mean... Forget it, think whatever you want."
Luo Feng shrugged helplessly and said to March 7th:
"Speaking of which, weren't you quite worried about Stelle and Lumine's situation earlier? How come you're still acting like nothing's wrong and staying here now?"
March 7th put her hands on her hips and said as a matter of course, "Since you've already made your move, they must be fine over there."
"Well, thank you very much for your trust then."
Luo Feng patted his forehead and looked at Himeko and Welt Yang:
"Do you two also think so?"
Himeko smiled slightly and said, "Since Luo Feng intends to give them a test and has already provided them with help, I think it's not a good choice for us to appear too early."
Welt Yang pushed up his glasses and nodded in strong agreement.
He turned his head to look at Tingyun, who was walking over from another direction with Black Swan, and said:
"Since Luo Feng you have made your move, I think we can chat with an old friend."
"Or, should I say a new friend?"
March 7th looked over upon hearing the sound and exclaimed in surprise:
"Great, it's Tingyun! Wait, it shouldn't be Phantylia, right?"
"Don't worry, the one appearing before everyone this time is the real Tingyun," Yukong said.
"Then I'm relieved." March 7th patted her chest and quickly walked towards Tingyun and Black Swan.
......
Clock Studios Theme Park.
"Feel the weight of destiny!"
Aventurine raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and countless gigantic chips rained down from the sky, smashing towards Stelle and Lumine.
Seeing this, Stelle threw her hat out, making it knock away as many gigantic chips as possible, while also holding her Flame Lance horizontally in front of her to build a fiery red shield, blocking the chips that weren't knocked away outside the shield.
At the same time, Lumine flew up, using her fists and feet to knock away as many chips as possible, thereby lightening Stelle's burden.
Even Collei was doing her best to help Stelle and Lumine with her still unskillful Harmony power.
That being said, the crisp sound of countless chips hitting the shield seemed to be telling Stelle, Lumine, Collei, and the others that the shield could break at any moment.
"Hehe, if you're only at this level, I'll be very disappointed."
Aventurine laughed at Stelle and the others while playing with the chips in his hand.
"D-damn it, this guy is too condescending."
"Please, you absolutely must not lose to him."
Paimon stood behind everyone, anxiously saying to Stelle, Lumine, and Collei, who didn't even have time to retort to Aventurine.
Just at this moment, three pieces of paper shimmering with eerie purple light crashed into the bodies of Stelle, Lumine, and Collei at extremely high speed.
The three of them felt their spirits lift, and the pressure from Aventurine instantly lessened significantly.
"Was I seeing things?"
Aventurine narrowed his eyes and muttered.Just now, he seemed to have seen a technique that only his colleague Jade could use.
Before he could think further, Collei's arrows, Stelle's hat, and Lumine's iron fists had already reached Aventurine.
Helplessly, Aventurine had to temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and focus on dealing with Lumine, Stelle, and the others.And this time, as soon as he started, he felt something was wrong.
"The attack strength has increased by about double, how interesting."
Aventurine muttered, raised his hand to build an energy barrier around him, and then immediately threw out more chips and dice towards Lumine, Collei, Stelle, and the others.
Stelle had anticipated this and quickly built a power shield, intercepting Aventurine's attack.
"Leave his attacks to me to defend against."
Stelle turned to look at Lumine and said.
"Okay, then I'll go beat him up!"
Lumine nodded.
With Stelle's help, she quickly broke through the barrage of chips and dice and reached the energy shield surrounding Aventurine.
"Must force this guy back as quickly as possible!"
Lumine said inwardly and attacked Aventurine's shield with both fists and feet.
Although Aventurine's main targets were Stelle and Lumine, his secondary target was Collei who was standing further back, and Paimon was the least affected by Aventurine's attacks.
However, being in this battlefield, Paimon was still inevitably affected.
Although Paimon could still dodge the chips and dice scattered in the air with Collei's help and her flexible flying ability.But Lumine felt that if this continued, Paimon would likely be hit.
At this time, they must finish the fight quickly!
"That really is a dazzling attack."
"But unfortunately, although your strength is a bit greater, you are still a certain distance away from me."
"To be honest, your performance truly disappoints me."
Aventurine floated inside the shield, shaking his head regretfully.
"I originally thought that since Lord Luo Feng wasn't here, you could at least help me pass some time."
"But now it seems I might have miscalculated."
"In that case, let's end this farce sooner."
While saying this, Aventurine suddenly left Lumine behind and quickly flew towards a higher point in Clock Studios Theme Park.
"You guy, trying to escape?"
Lumine raised her head and pointed at Aventurine with displeasure.
"I'm not running away. I'm just putting all my chips on the table to enjoy myself."
"After all, only by abandoning rationality can one truly gamble!"
Under the surprised gazes of Lumine, Stelle, Collei, Paimon, and others, Aventurine flicked a chip in his hand towards the sky.
Then, the originally pitch-black sky was suddenly torn open by a golden curtain.I
n the blink of an eye, the sky above the entire Clock Studios Theme Park was dyed gold.
"What... what is that!"
Paimon covered her small mouth, looking in horror at the giant chip that emerged from the golden curtain.
"Isn't this the move Ningguang used? You really know how to do it!"
Lumine's eyes widened instantly.
She was worried that Aventurine might use this move, which was why she tried every means to get close to him, to prevent him from having the chance to unleash this chip rain that seemed capable of covering the entire sky.
In the end, Aventurine still managed to use it.
[Ningguang: To be precise, the chip rain Aventurine is unleashing now is even more terrifying than the one I used against Phantylia back then. Whether it's the area of the golden curtain or the number of chips!]
[Tartaglia: Not only are there many similarities in attire between Aventurine using the Aventurine Stone and Ningguang using the Aventurine Stone, but even their moves are so alike. Is it true that Lord Luo Feng created another Aventurine Stone based on Aventurine's Aventurine Stone?]
[Mavuika: Could it be that Luo Feng specially created a medium that could help Ningguang step onto the Path of Preservation?]
[Xilonen: If that's the case, it's truly an enviable thing. I wonder if we can have such a possibility.]
[Citlali: We cannot rule out such a possibility. Just like now, didn't Luo Feng provide the Traveler with the "sam armor", a medium that could help him step onto the Destruction Path? Perhaps Lord Luo Feng isn't stingy with providing certain help to people he likes enough.]
[Skirk: As long as you become someone Luo Feng likes enough, is it possible to get corresponding help?]
[Tartaglia: Uh, Master. You're not trying to make Luo Feng like you too, are you?]
[Skirk: Is it not allowed?]
[Tartaglia: This... it's not impossible.]
Tartaglia's mouth twitched.
Could it be that one day in the future, he would have to call Luo Feng "Shiniang" (Master's wife)?
"Lord Luo Feng is a man, calling him Shiniang seems a bit wrong."
"Speaking of which, if Master really becomes a couple with Luo Feng..."
As her disciple, would I also have more opportunities to step onto a Path?"
Thinking of this, the light in Tartaglia's eyes became brighter and brighter.
[Tartaglia: I support you, Master. Go for it!]
[Skirk:?]
[Beidou: The topic of discussion has gone a bit too far, hasn't it? Now is not the time to care about this. This Aventurine is actually putting on such a display against Paimon, Stelle, and the others. Is he serious?]
[Dehya: Yeah, could it be that this guy really intends to detonate the stellaron inside Stelle, just as he said, to prove that the Family's promise is a lie?]
[Barbeloth: This Aventurine, he hasn't been driven crazy by Harmonys Sanctification, has he? Is he really not afraid of Luo Feng taking action against him?]
[Rhinedottir: Perhaps he feels his life is about to end because of Harmonys Sanctification, so he intends to go wild at the very end.]
[Prince: Judging by that man Luo Feng's attitude towards Lumine, he shouldn't just stand by and watch her die, right?]
In the Abyss, Aether clenched his fists and nervously watched the Teyvat Forum live stream screen.
Although he was somewhat displeased with Luo Feng, who might take his sister away, he disliked even more the sight of Lumine being killed by others, and he disliked even more the situation where he could only watch without being able to help.
"Facing Aventurine, even if I use the power of the Abyss, I probably can't resist him."
"As expected, that man Luo Feng still needs to take action."
Aether gritted his teeth and muttered unhappily.
Then, considering that he had also once hoped that Luo Feng's Astral Express could choose him, allowing him to also gain the opportunity to step onto a Path, the displeasure in Aether's heart intensified by another level.
"Damn it, since you're so close to my sister, don't just do nothing!"
Aether heavily slapped the armrest of his seat and said loudly.Below, the Abyss guards looked at their Prince, somewhat stunned.
Of course, they also paid attention to Paimon's live stream.
Luo Feng clearly provided help to the Prince's blood relative, whether it was the previous "contract" or the earliest sam armor.
However, seeing the Prince in a fit of anger, the guards obediently chose to keep their mouths shut, lest they speak carelessly and be punished by their Prince.
...
Penacony Dream.
"My time is almost up. You'll choose to call, right, Luo Feng?"
Aventurine cast a distant glance beyond the Clock Studios Theme Park.
Unfortunately, even though his golden curtain had covered the entire Clock Studios Theme Park, Luo Feng's figure still did not appear within Aventurine's line of sight.
"Is it because the difficulties they face are not enough in your eyes? If that's the case..."
Aventurine muttered to himself, waved his right hand forward, causing some chips to fall towards the ground like raindrops.
Although only a small portion fell to the ground, in the eyes of Paimon, Lumine, and others, it was already a sky-obscuring barrage of chips.
