The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [335]

Though shocked by Dainsleif’s probing questions, Lumine composed herself and gave the matter careful thought.

“Liyue… is protected by Liyue itself,” she said decisively, reflecting on her and Jia Changjiang’s journey through the harbor.

“Adepti and mortals are both part of Liyue. It’s not a question of who protects Liyue—Liyue protects itself,” Lumine concluded.

“That is your answer… Then, the final question,” Dainsleif said, his gaze steady as he stu...

Jia Changjiang studied the blonde, eyepatch-wearing man sitting before him, curiosity evident in his gaze.

There was something familiar about him.

Although Jia Changjiang couldn’t recall the finer details of Genshin Impact’s later storylines, this man had appeared in one of the game’s promotional trailers. If he remembered correctly, wasn’t this guy… the “Bough Keeper”?

"Let me introduce myself," Jia Changjiang began, sitting across from the man. ...

After spending a night in Liyue, Jia Changjiang and Lumine used the ley lines to return to Mondstadt the next day. As they passed through the city gates, startling a flock of pigeons, the ever-efficient Katheryne called out to them from her station.

"Mr. Jax, Miss Lumine, over here, please."

"How’s the adventuring going? Everything running smoothly?" she asked.

"Smooth as can be!" Lumine replied confidently, giving a thumbs up. "Honestly, I’ve never seen adventurers with...

"Huixin..."

Ganyu stared at Huixin for a long moment, her gaze softening. "I... never realized that my existence meant so much to all of you."

Ganyu had spent a thousand years in Liyue Harbor.

Three millennia ago, she had formed a contract with the Geo Archon, aiding him in the Archon War. After the war ended, she chose to remain in Liyue, helping its people build a more prosperous city.

A millennium was an incredibly long time. Yet for Ganyu, those thousand years felt...

Accompanied by Huixin, Jia Changjiang and Lumine were led to join Ganyu for a meal. During the gathering, the duo explained why the Qixing Secretaries had entrusted them with finding Ganyu in the first place.

It turned out to be a simple misunderstanding. Once things were clarified, Ganyu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of embarrassment about the previous events.

“Ah… I must have caused you all a lot of trouble,” Ganyu said, her face flushed with embarrassment.

“Si...

This Is My Holy Grail War [150]

The moonlight seemed to shimmer with a veil of ambiguity, obscuring the stars in a haze of pale, colorless radiance.

The vast and silent night sky held only the frosty glow of the moon, an ethereal, distant presence. Homunculus Heath’s steps faltered, unsure whether to advance or retreat.

A creation of the Black faction, Heath had found himself unexpectedly becoming a Master of the Red faction. His participation in the war was a contradiction, and the Servant who answered his ca...

"Go deal with the Black Archer! Now!"

Her father’s voice echoed relentlessly in Mordred’s mind, etched in vivid detail. Behind the helmet that shielded her face, her expression was full of anguish. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. All she could do was watch as her father fought with every ounce of his strength, desperately fending off Black Lancer’s relentless assault.

The silent, starless night spread out before her, the faint light of a cold m...

This Is My Holy Grail War [148]

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada had become the Master of five Servants. Aside from Kairi Shishigou and the homunculus vessels, the entire Red faction was effectively under his sole command.

This meant Amakusa held complete control over the Red faction’s power, turning it into a one-man regime. Consequently, Ruler Jeanne d’Arc now stood squarely in opposition to the Red faction.

Yet Saber was pleased with this arrangement. The simpler the situation, the easier his path to victory. If A...

This Is My Holy Grail War [147]

The atmosphere was stifling, a heavy weight pressing against the chest. Karna darted through the flames at incredible speed, the red fire surrounding him tearing through the Black faction’s barrier and smashing through their sturdy fortress walls with unstoppable force.

Yet, as he advanced, a towering wall of rock erupted from the ground, blocking his path. The surface was black and cold, constructed from enchanted stone imbued with potent magical energy. Even the searing heat emanati...

This Is My Holy Grail War [146]

The pale moon was veiled by a thick mist, obscured as if hidden behind heavy clouds. Only a faint silhouette of its glow remained in the heavens. On the burning ground below, life perished with every passing moment. All living things withered and died beneath the relentless flames.

The crackling of fire filled Jeanne’s ears, an incessant noise that grated on her nerves. The voice of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada lingered in her mind, refusing to fade.

Amakusa spoke casually about deci...

The two judges from the Ten Lords Commission knew they weren’t welcome, so they had kept their distance from the delegation from the start. After all, on the Xianzhou, no one ever wished to see a judge from the Ten Lords Commission in their lifetime.

Because of this, the commotion they caused went unnoticed by the rest of the envoy.

Huohuo’s tail, having come back to life, flicked with a look of utter disdain.

"You know what this looks like? It’s like those news storie...

As more than a dozen supply carrier aircraft slowly descended onto the landing platforms, their hatches opened, revealing a small figure standing at the forefront.

She glanced around, her eyes finally locking onto someone dressed in Xianzhou attire. Upon spotting the blessing token hanging from the person’s waist, her gaze flickered, and without hesitation, she dashed down the stairs, preparing to leap toward them.

"Old—"

"Honored Guest!"

Just as Qingque opened her...

Belobog Primary Military District, Psionic Army A001 Aviation Corps Division.

This was the largest psionic army unit on Jarilo-VI. In terms of psionic talent, combat strength, and weaponry, it ranked among the elite of the psionic forces.

Under the deliberation of Chen Lin and several high-ranking officers, the Belobog government had meticulously structured its newly formed military. All combat units below the Dispersal Layer were classified as ground forces.

This served as ...

Ever since the L-Gate was detected, every time Chen Lin contacted Qlipoth Fort, he would inevitably hear someone mentioning Clara’s name.

Not because people were complaining about how expensive or resource-intensive her research projects were.

Not because her team had done something world-shattering again.

No—what people really talked about was how many days Clara had gone without leaving her office or lab.

How many days&nb...

Lush greenery filled the courtyard, with blossoms in full bloom all year round, firmly rooted in the fertile soil.

Within the pavilion, two figures sat by a stone table—one tall, one petite—engrossed in conversation.

The table was covered with countless sheets of densely packed calculations. If stacked together, they would likely reach six or seven meters high.

A young girl, draped in a white lab coat, cradled a metallic sphere in her thin, delicate hands, explaining its...

The young girl at the doorway glanced back, her delicate charm completely unrestrained. The two fluffy ears atop her head twitched slightly, and her pale cheeks, tinged with pink, carried an air of fragile beauty.

If not for the fact that the high-quality counterfeit relic she had brought shattered instantly under the girl’s pressure, Topaz might have mistaken her for someone born with a naturally bewitching allure. In another civilization, she would undoubtedly be a devastating beaut...

Noon.

On the 80th floor of the Belobog Grand Hotel, nearly the entire level functioned as an office space for Topaz and her team. That morning, she had sat through a series of briefings from employees stationed across Jarilo-VI, rubbing her temples as she listened. After dismissing the meeting, she called in two key personnel responsible for inspecting factories and farms near Belobog for a smaller, more focused discussion.

The meeting revolved around finding the ...

The matter of knowledge and technology transfer wasn’t something Chen Lin needed to personally handle. There was someone far more suited for managing such tedious tasks—Svarog, who had always been responsible for maintaining network security within the Jarilo star region.

Stepping onto the lower district’s land, he observed that the tunnel entrance had already been widened by a large team from the Academy of Engineering after confirming that the mechanical city no longer posed a t...

A collaboration—

Or rather, a transaction.

The Kruz Civilization, having lost its entire population, could never reclaim its former glory.

Every fragment of their accumulated knowledge now resided within a single object—an unassuming square device known as "X."

Aside from those who had willingly surrendered their individual selves to the plan, merging their consciousnesses into this box, the Kruz Civilization no longer existed.

Chen Lin voiced the qu...

Is Unlocking the Stellaris Tech Tree in Star Rail Really Okay? [262]

The records of the Kruz Civilization contained no mention of their origins. It was as if the first mechanical beings of their kind had gained consciousness and, from that moment on, already possessed a fully formed nation.

Marching through the cold expanse of the universe, they sought the meaning of their existence, pursued unknown phenomena, and developed technologies beyond their grasp…

At that time, there weren’t many civilizations venturing into space alongside them—perh...

The atmosphere fell into silence.

Chen Lin felt a sense of relief knowing that the other party wasn’t one of the "Machine Fathers." That meant the Purification Protocol wouldn’t be appearing in future apocalyptic disasters. But if this Kruz Civilization wasn’t a Guardian, then what kind of fallen entity did they represent?

The Zroni race had long been swept away by the tides of history. Now, the only way to come into contact with their civilization would be to keep digging t...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [530]

Muttering a silent complaint, Gu Sanqiu waved his hand and chose to end the call, signaling the arena to send this middle-aged charlatan away.

It seemed like there was no point in asking about the other party’s cultivation system anymore. Even without thinking too hard, he could already guess that the next sentence would be something along the lines of, "Join us to see the truth."

He couldn’t be bothered to listen.

However, the peculiar quality about this person, along w...

The lightning-sealed area rapidly shrank, while the bombardment's speed and density surged even further. The goal was clear—to trap Gu Sanqiu within that confined space and pummel him with fireballs!

Gu Sanqiu threw his head back and let out a thunderous roar. Behind him, the fiery demon apparition, adorned with twin horns, stretched out its arms to prop up the heavens, forcefully resisting the descending elemental orbs!

"[Rocksunder Shaker]!"

The entire a...

"You have won."

Narcissus stood up, clutching his injured side. "Though you lack unwavering loyalty to a single weapon, you are still a warrior worthy of respect."

Loyalty?

Am I supposed to stick to one weapon for life or something?

Not happening.

Next time we meet, I might just rip a launcher off a Ruin Guard and blast you to bits.

"Alright, setting that aside—time is valuable. What’s the use of this thing?"

Gu Sanqiu held up the Ancient God...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [527]

"Opponent matched. Arena initialization complete. Wishing you an exhilarating battle."

The announcement faded.

Gu Sanqiu's expression sharpened as his opponent emerged—a towering warrior clad in deep red battle armor, wielding a massive greatsword with both hands.

This guy was even bulkier than the standard-issue Snezhnayan meathead.

What the hell did this guy eat growing up?!

"A pleasure to introduce my...

Let’s be real—if even Diluc, someone capable of holding his own against multiple Fatui Harbingers before making a clean getaway with a bit of assistance, could only make it to fifty consecutive wins…

That meant something.

Sure, it was possible that Diluc had gotten bored and intentionally forfeited to avoid unnecessary trouble—but that alone was enough to prove how ridiculous this whole thing was.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gu Sanqiu bid...

The powerful cultivators of the cultivation world gathered, eyes filled with caution as they scanned their surroundings.

Those three attackers had appeared out of nowhere and launched straight into battle—yet the Golden Bell of Strife hadn’t reacted at all. That could only mean one thing: someone else was still hiding nearby.

That person must have possessed a way to block their spiritual perception, conceal the Golden Bell’s reaction, and even interfere&n...

"Whether I should undergo this calamity or not—isn't up to you bunch of idiots to decide!"

Gu Sanqiu burst into wild laughter, summoning his spear back into his hand. Without hesitation, he lunged toward the three figures before him, ready to kill.

"Who are they?!"

The defeated cultivators frowned as they watched the sudden appearance of these three new arrivals. To be honest, they had no idea where these people came from.

"Not sure. But judging by their fighting tec...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [523]

The battlefield continued to roar with chaos.

At this point, the battle had reached a level where no ordinary person could hope to intervene.

The fight between the cultivation world’s finest and Gu Sanqiu had entered its most intense phase.

Nearly every combatant bore numerous wounds, their bodies marred by battle.

Of course, Gu Sanqiu’s injuries were far worse.

The power of the curse was still weighing him down, limiting his movements, while t...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [522]

Gu Sanqiu glanced around at the thick mist surrounding him. "I think I finally understand why no one has managed to ring the Golden Bell three times in the past two years. This battlefield is completely unfair."

The enemy lurked in the shadows while he stood in the open. Worse still, their numbers outmatched his dozens of times over. This wasn’t a challenge—it was an execution.

No one answered him.

Because on the battlefield, silence was the most basic rule of survival. ...
