25 Chapter 24: Attribute Panel
(Alexander POV)
Destruction was the first thing my eyes saw the moment I regained consciousness.
My gaze wandered around the battlefield while trying to figure out the situation.
On my right was a completely demolished landscape with hundreds if not thousands of mangled corpses lying in a pool of blood.
On my left was a demolished forest of Frosty Fruit trees and a claymore.
The claymore stabbed to the ground a few meters away from a cliff.
'Is that the Song of Broken Pines?' I thought to myself as a realization came to me.
'Oh shit! Eula usually trains or takes ice baths on Dragonspine. Seeing her sword embedded near the cliff, I hope she survived. It would be a pity if a cute waifu died.' With a sigh, I shifted my gaze towards the ground before me.
"...." Silence, complete utter silence.
I blinked my winged-like eyes a few times to make sure I was not hallucinating.
Sadly, what was in front of me was real.
A crown, a very familiar crown.
La Signora's crown was lying on top of ashes which I presumed were hers, a Cryo delusion, and a red butterfly pouch.
"I completely destroyed the storyline huh," I muttered out loud as an eerie malevolent voice emerged.
'I expected to rampage after consuming Durin's heart that's why I sent Yuna to Mondstadt. But I haven't expected this outcome. Damn, La Signora might be a retarded bitch but she was hot, a pity.' I thought to myself as I used Presence Concealment while I roamed the battlefield collecting my loot items.
Durin attacked Mondstadt 500 years ago without real reason and made Dvalin mad as he got infected with his blood so I figured I would also turn crazy until I adapted to whatever was inside his heart. But this was too much.
A waifu is currently missing with unknown survivability, a flaming crazy bitch waifu is dead, reduced to ashes, and Varka's expedition would most likely be canceled as a random powerful monster appeared close to Mondstadt.
'Why tf did this woman have to return now anyway? She was gone for over a month, did she really have to return today just to die?' I clicked my tongue as a sour taste was left in my mouth.
'And why am I so tall? I'm probably about 12 meters right now.' Using a combination of bodily abilities, I shrunk myself to my normal height which was 5'6. My appearance also started changing from Mahoraga's appearance to my normal self.
After storing everything except for the Song of Broken Pines, I stood beside it as I thought about what to do.
'Should I take it? If I did I won't be able to use it when people are around. This is not a game so the 5-star weapons should be unique. But if I don't take it and leave it here someone else might take it. If Eula is alive, I at least want her to get it back, it's not like I needed it anyway.' I said to myself as I summoned a sword tied to my right hand.
As I stood silently staring at the claymore, I heard footsteps coming closer.
My gaze went towards a familiar man with ashy light blonde hair wearing the knight's alchemist clothing.
'Mmmmm since Albedo is here, it's better if he takes Eula's claymore back.' I thought to myself not forgetting to double-check if the golden star mark was present on his neck.
"This might be a problem," Albedo said as he got closer to Eula's weapon.
"But considering I never found Eula's body along with the Fatui Corpses and with her sword beside this cliff, the chance of her surviving is high. With her trained physique a fall from this height would not be an issue." Albedo then took the claymore as he stood beside the cliff gazing downwards.
As I watched Albedo leave a thought came to my mind, 'I am I year earlier than Cannon but Primordial Albedo should have been freed long before Canon started. Primordial Albedo should have been inside Durin's belly and with Durin's belly long decomposed, he should be somewhere around Dragonspine.'
'Should I look for him?' I contemplated for a bit before deciding it was not worth the time.
Primordial Albedo doesn't have anything I need to begin with. I'm only curious about him because of the event storyline.
With heavy steps, I left the area to return to my camp.
-------------------------
Sitting inside my base, I thought about what happened earlier.
'Adapting towards those chaotic thoughts took quite a while, but with that settled, I should have a good mental defense now.' I said to myself as I took a Frosty Fruit to eat while opening my status panel.

As I gazed towards my stat page a wide smile emerged on my face.
'Nice! Consuming and adapting that disgusting heart was worth it. The stupid attribute panel is now gone, no more limiters.' I then pumped up my fist as a feeling of relief washed over me.
"Now I won't be helpless and weak if ever this world suddenly went downhill," I said in a mutter.
