Chapter 71: Do you want to come to my side?

"How... is it possible..."

Staring blankly at Tevarin and Andrius who were knocked flying, whether it was Ying in Yahweh's arms or Qin and Diluk, they all couldn't believe what they saw.

"From the very beginning, Diekarapian had no intention of harming you..."

Looking at the extremely surprised expressions of the crowd, Yahweh kept a smile on his face and explained in a calm tone.

"Even the Lone King of the Tower, whom you call a tyrant, is still the Wind God of Mondstadt after all."

"From the beginning to the end, she was not prepared to let the Abyss Cult manipulate her."

"Even if you deny her, in her heart, you are still the subjects she wants to protect."

Until the end, she thought that her ministers loved her as much as she loved them.

Diekarapian had no intention of fighting with everyone from the beginning, otherwise...

If it was Ying in her prime, it would be fine. With only a little bit of her strength recovered, she could at most contend with ordinary demons. How could she possibly fight against a top demon like Dikarapian who was almost at the level of the Seven Gods?

Moreover, if Diekarapian had any intention to kill...

Except for Ying who has temporarily recovered the demon god realm and can barely resist.

Like Jean and Diluk...

I'm afraid that just one encounter will kill you by the fierce wind of the Tornado Demon?

Diocletian fought them...

It was just an opportunity for them to destroy the core of the Abyss Cult's control over her.

This is probably why Sora left immediately after seeing the core of Diakarabian being shattered.

The Apostles of the Abyss cannot understand the thoughts of the gods, but they can!

"Although his actions are not quite what I want, this lonely king of the tower... is really an interesting guy!"

Looking at the figure with waist-length hair, Yahweh said this with some emotion.

The people who came to the Wind Dragon Ruins are all Mond's elites, not stupid fools who can't think straight.

After listening to Yahweh's explanation, he understood Diocletian's idea almost instantly.

Then, looking at Diocletian who was confronting Tevarin and Andrius together with Barbatos in the sky, everyone felt mixed emotions for a while, especially Eula.

The prejudice in people's hearts is as huge as a mountain. As a descendant of the Lawrence family, Eula has a deep understanding of this.

However, she viewed the former Lone King of the Tower with the same prejudice.

Tyrant...huh?

Eula stood up with the support of her heavy sword, with all kinds of thoughts flashing in her eyes.

"Dicarapian..."

Barbatos looked at the lonely king in the tower beside him, feeling a little surprised at her choice, but not surprised at all.

"You are... the wind elf from before?"

Diekarapian recognized Barbatos's identity at a glance.

"Has the breeze of the past also reached the status of a god now?"

"This is all thanks to your divine power,"

Barbatos said this without hesitation.

"But I never thought that the lonely god who once built the tower would one day fight with me for the freedom of Mondstadt!"

"Freedom? It's meaningless..."

Diekarapian's words were also merciless.

"I am just protecting my subjects!"

Even at the end, she still believed that all the ministers loved her.

Therefore, even though she was overthrown by her own subjects, she never thought she was wrong.

3000 years ago, Mond was still an uninhabitable, cold and miserable place.

Diocletian built a royal capital and settled his subjects outside the wild ice fields.

Andrius once declared war on the lonely king of the tower, but was unable to damage the capital in the slightest.

Diocletian designed life for the people.

The capital city is circular in shape, and all people have been assigned their respective positions in advance between the inner and outer rings of the city.

In the center sits an overly tall tower, which is the palace of the King of the Fierce Wind.

She was very satisfied with the royal city she built. Standing alone on the top of the tower, she believed that the dreamlike prosperity would last forever.

Someone also told her about eagles and blue sky, and prayed for forests and green grass.

But in her opinion, it was just the dreamy ramblings of a child.

The kingdom she created is a capital of eternal dreams!

Even if the ministers attacked the tower with swords in hand, in her view, it was just a child's rebellion against his parents.

However, as an old god, she has fallen, and now is the era of new gods.

The people of Mond no longer need her wind wall to protect them, and everything she insisted on has now lost its meaning.

All she could do was to create one last storm for Mond of this era.

"Andrius... and this wind dragon, is it controlled by a strange force?"

Diekarapian saw the state of Tevarin and Andrius at a glance, and also guessed Barbatos's thoughts with great ease.

In fact, as one of the "Seven Rulers of the World", even if he faced Tevarin and Andrius at the same time, the stalemate would not last so long.

After all, Andrius's strength has to be discounted for various reasons, and Tevarin is just there to make up the numbers.

The reason why the fight lasted so long was simply because Barbatos didn't want to hurt them.

"I will use all my elemental power to restrain them later, and you can take this opportunity to release them from control."

Given Diecarpian's character, even if she was controlled, such an existence that wanted to harm her subjects would naturally be torn to pieces by the strong wind.

However, if the two gods joined forces, even according to Barbatos's idea, there was no need to have a dispute with him over such a thing.

"All elemental power? But you..."

Even if the core is broken, it does not mean that the revival of Diekarapian has come to an end.

After all, the North Wind Wolf King, who is only a remnant soul of Andrius, has survived to this day, let alone the current Diakarapian.

But if you run out of elemental power...

"The technology of the so-called Abyss Cult is not perfect. Even if the core that controls me still exists... I am afraid that my survival will not last too long..."

Diekarapian understood Barbatos' meaning very easily and said so in a calm tone.

Reversing life and death...

How could it be easy to reverse the life and death of a demon like her?

After all, what the Abyss Cult has mastered from the outside world is only the technology to manufacture war weapons.

Since the moment she was revived, she felt her will rapidly eroding and her existence constantly slipping away.

She finally...

She is nothing more than a ghost left over from history. In this era, there is no tower tall enough to support her.

Therefore, for the sake of her former subjects, let me raise the storm of the lonely king one last time!

"So... this is... the final storm!"

......

With Barbatos and Diocletian joining forces, the outcome was certain.

Andrius's demon body was shattered, and the gentle wind purified the filth in his remaining soul.

Tevarin's poisonous blood was removed, and his control was lifted.

The conspiracy of the Abyss Cult was shattered, the crisis in Mond was resolved, and even Yawei and Ying received a prompt from the system that their mission was completed.

Only Diekarapian, in the somewhat complicated look of Barbatos, integrated into the style of Mond.

This time, she will completely disappear, not even the slightest regret will be left.

However, Diekarapian had no regrets at all.

After all, the so-called demon god...

Who of them is truly afraid of death?

However, as the wind blew, she seemed to feel the waves and sand, the green forests and the earth that had once been whispered in her ears.

And...the blue sky and the warm sunshine.

This feeling seems to be really good...

At this moment, the formless Dicaprian seemed to smile.

It's not about denying the persistence in the past, but about finally letting go of the last bit of obsession.

She relaxed her consciousness and prepared for her own end.

And at this moment...

"What an interesting soul and will. It's a pity to see it disappear like this..."

A divine voice that sounded like the voice of heaven suddenly rang out in her consciousness.

"If you feel that your mission has been accomplished and there is no reason to continue to exist in this era..."

"…Then do you want to come over to my place and work for me?"
