Chapter 122

Rhinedottir looked at the dagger thrown in front of her.

As a god-level human, she could feel the terrifying power contained within it. All it would take was a simple stab to the chest, and the power of the dagger would instantly spread through her body, destroying every inch of it from the inside. She would hardly feel any pain—just instant death.

Under Takumi's gaze, she gently picked up the dagger.

Immediately, she clung to Takumi's feet, her eyes full of pleading.

"Lord Eternal Throne, I know my sin is unforgivable, but I wish to fulfill the ideal within my heart. Please, please..."

Having said this, Rhinedottir humbly prostrated herself on the ground, her forehead touching the ground.

"I will atone for the sins I have committed. When I fulfill my ideal, I will end my life as penance. Please..."

"Just give me a hundred years—only a hundred years, please..."

Takumi looked at the humbled Rhinedottir and said coldly, "What a crazy woman. It's not impossible for me to let you live a while longer—it depends on how much value you can create for me."

"Try your best to create the so-called 'perfect life.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, a red collar appeared around Rhinedottir's neck.

This collar was a chain of fate condensed from the "power of the human world."

The fate of anyone wearing this collar no longer belonged to them—it made them a slave of fate, and their destiny was ultimately decided by Takumi.

"From now on, your soul, your body, the meaning of your existence—everything you have is my property."

When Rhinedottir heard this, she wasn't afraid; instead, she cried tears of joy. This proved that the Eternal Throne would not kill her.

She wasn't afraid of death, but she hadn't yet created the ideal 'perfect alchemical life.'

Rhinedottir gently kissed Takumi's toes. "Yes, I will be your property from now on. Everything about me is yours, my master."

The more Takumi looked at Rhinedottir, the more he thought she was a lunatic.

She was willing to sacrifice everything for the so-called 'perfect alchemical life,' even knowing that some things would bring disaster to the world, yet she continued despite the moral conflict.

This was what it meant to be willing to become the enemy of the world for the sake of an ideal.

Takumi raised his hand, and the 'Order Divine Chain' condensed from his fingertips instantly pierced Rhinedottir's chest.

Rhinedottir looked at the chain that had pierced her chest. She felt no pain—she only felt her knowledge and power being taken away.

But just when she feared it would all be gone, everything returned to her.

Now she understood: the Lord of the Eternal Throne wanted to bring everything about her under his control.

She breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her knowledge remained with her, she could rest easy.

After taking control of Rhinedottir, Takumi removed the restriction, allowing Rhinedottir to use her power again, and she got up from the ground.

Takumi stood up, walked past Rhinedottir, and approached the glass jar containing the 'god-level alchemical life.' "Tell me, my slave, how do you plan to make this thing?"

He had never dealt with the 'Void Realm Power' before. He only knew that it was an alchemical embryo that combined the power of the abyss and the elemental power of Teyvat.

Moreover, when it came to 'alchemy,' he only possessed the knowledge without understanding the various intricate details of creating life. This was akin to possessing the blueprint for a nuclear weapon without knowing how to build it.

So, he didn't need to create this thing himself; he only needed to control it.

Another reason for keeping Rhinedottir alive was that, after gaining control of the 'Void Power System,' all forces of the abyssal camp would become his power.

Just like the current demon gods.

If the world of Teyvat didn't have the 'Void Realm Power System,' then mad individuals like Rhinedottir would need to be eradicated, even if Rhinedottir was an exceptionally attractive woman.

But after mastering the 'Void Power System,' Rhinedottir was a god-level creator of abyssal creatures.

Rhinedottir got up from the ground and walked over to Takumi. There was no fear on her face. After all, everything about her already belonged to him, and there was no need to be afraid.

When speaking about her field of expertise, she instantly became excited.

"My master, this is the core I condensed by combining the traits of hundreds of elemental creatures with the abyss of night."

"But this core is still only a semi-finished product."

"Once completed, it will become the heart of a god-level abyssal alchemical lifeform, and from there, the heart will continuously extract the power of the abyss to form an embryo."

"But now that the world of Teyvat has been sealed, we can only extract abyss energy from the sky of Yuanyue."

"Once it completely grows from an embryo, its body and vitality will surpass those of the Erinas and rival the power of the ancient Seven Dragon Kings."

At the end of her explanation, Rhinedottir's eyes were filled with enthusiasm. She looked at the pulsing mass in the glass jar as if she were looking at her child, about to win the highest honor at school.

Takumi's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the crazy woman.

Good thing I'm here. If I hadn't found you, or if I had found you a few years later, would you have unleashed an ancient Seven Dragon King-level monster upon Teyvat, plunging it into a darkness similar to 1,500 years ago?

One must remember that abyssal creatures have a tendency to follow powerful abyssal entities.

If an abyssal creature at the level of the ancient Seven Dragon Kings were born, then countless abyssal beings in the Yuanyue sky would surge forth and wreak havoc across the Seven Nations at an alarming speed.

"To be honest, if you weren't still useful, I'd burn you to ashes right now."

Takumi's cold voice made the excited Rhinedottir freeze instantly, and her expression became pleading as she looked at him.

Takumi said, "Just focus on using your alchemical creations properly. If you even think about betraying me, I will kill you."

Rhinedottir quickly swore, "I will never betray my master."

She didn't want to die—not yet, not until she successfully created the 'perfect alchemical life.'

Takumi said nothing further and reached out, pressing his hand against Rhinedottir's chest.

Rhinedottir showed no sign of surprise. She already believed herself to be Takumi's property, and he had every right to do whatever he wished with her.

Takumi's golden eyes fluctuated slightly as several 'threads of fate' were pulled from Rhinedottir's body.

The 'threads of fate' wrapped around his fingers like strands of hair.

These 'threads of fate' instantly connected him to several individuals who shared the same source of power as Rhinedottir.

A flood of images appeared before his eyes.

The corners of Takumi's lips curled upward, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Finally, I found the annoying little mice."

The moment he found them, the 'sanction mechanism' was activated.
