She struggled to stay awake and not let her thoughts spiral out of control. "Terrible spiritual power. Is this an advanced expression of elemental power?" she exclaimed. Even though they, the executives, usually consciously use Columbia's mental abilities to train and have a certain amount of mental defense capabilities, when they are next to Columbia at close range, the mental shock wave still makes her fascinated and almost loses her mind. She must not allow her consciousness to become blurred, because the enemy is about to appear—— It's not so much a rule as it is the evil forces that hate Columbia and will kill her at any opportunity. In the icy and snowy underground of Solstice Kingdom, many dark monsters were frozen in ice, which were formed after the battle of Kanria. At that time, after the death of the previous Ice Queen, the current Ice Queen succeeded to the throne. The first thing she did was to use the power of the Ice God to freeze all the monsters that invaded Zhidong. After the destruction of the ancient country of Kanreia, the power of darkness surged out of the abyss and emerged from the earth's surface. Countless alchemical creations and out-of-control cultivators surged towards the Seven Kingdoms with hatred, wiping out all life along the way. The flames of war burned across the continent of Teyvat in an instant—— Inazuma's last great witch, Fox Zaigong, died as a result. In order to resist the invasion, Liyue's Qianyan Legion was annihilated in the Rock Abyss; Mondstadt's Knights of the West Wind fought hard to resist the invasion of the dragon and became one of the four guardians of the winds. Tevalin was poisoned and seriously injured and has not recovered yet. [Lady] Rosalin's lover died tragically in that battle.
Xumi's World Tree was further eroded; Fontaine and Nata also suffered heavy casualties. Among the seven kingdoms, only Zhi Dong suffered the lowest damage. All invading foreign enemies were frozen under the earth by the current Ice Queen. Of course, the power of the Ice God is not omnipotent. Some powerful dark monsters and abyssal creatures have learned to unfreeze and wake up from their slumber over the long years. But the Winter Kingdom never has to worry. In addition to the Ice Queen, there is also the extremely mysterious [Girl] Columbia. She is the oldest existence among the eleven executive officers. She is ranked third just because she has never There was no real attack, and no one could force her to use all her power. Columbia used her spiritual power to hypnotize the awakened dark monsters and abyssal creatures, and cooperated with the Ice Queen to suppress these evil forces underground forever. However, there is only one situation that is most dangerous, and that is now. When Columbia begins this large-scale chant, the hypnotic effect of her mental power on the underground monsters will disappear. During this short period of time, they will rush out of the ground and try to kill Columbia. Therefore, Colombia needs someone to protect it. In the past, this role was assumed by the Prince. It's her tonight. Chapter 166 Go to hell, you bastard That night, in the winter, people all over the country once again heard the ancient and distant singing in their sleep. As usual, everyone heard different songs, and it was not clear who the person singing the divine song was, but there was one thing. Everyone has the same feeling, which is happiness. Young men and women in love dreamed of embracing each other, an elderly man who lost his only child dreamed of his deceased child, and orphans in the Hearth House generally dreamed of their biological parents. Businessmen pursuing wealth dreamed of prosperous business, farmers dreamed of a bumper harvest in autumn, and many students dreamed of being named on the gold medal list. There is no doubt that tonight is destined to be a sweet dream for the people of Solstice Kingdom. The significance of this kind of dream is to soothe the hesitant hearts of the people, relieve people's impatience, and more importantly, relieve everyone's psychological pressure. Among the seven kingdoms, only the people of Zhidong are burdened with huge pressure to survive. The cause of resisting the laws of nature is a heavy burden that weighs on the hearts of every pressure not only encourages them to move forward bravely, but also inevitably brings about psychological depression. Fortunately, the Kingdom of Winter has a singer from the fairy tribe. She uses her singing to soothe the country. In addition to hypnotizing the monsters under the ice, there is another layer of practical significance. At this time, her chanting began, which was also the most dangerous moment.
Among the people who most want to be eradicated by the monsters and dark creatures in the darkness, her priority ranks before the Ice Queen and Su Yu. Freezing cannot completely kill the monsters. Once the time is right, they can break out of the ice. What they fear most is the singer's singing, which will make them fall into a deep sleep and fall into the illusion of beautiful dreams, unable to extricate themselves. "Hehe, are you here yet?" [Servant] Arecino stared at the pairs of black claws protruding from the ice not far away, with a tone full of disdain. He wanted to kill more monsters, and her Majesty the Queen could make up for it by blaming her are the reward terms promulgated by Her Majesty the Queen herself. The more monsters and dark creatures killed, the greater the reward will be. But then, two or three giant claws as tall as mountain peaks stretched out, causing a small earthquake. "The aura of the demon god level! There are not just one, but three here." Arecino's expression began to turn serious. "His Highness is not here today, and you all ran out one by one. Do you think no one in the Winter Kingdom can deal with you?" It will be difficult for the shrimp soldiers and crabs to get close to Columbia. Her task is to stop the most powerful demon gods and buy enough chanting time for Columbia. "Go to hell, bastard!" Arecino rushed towards the powerful enemy, and her figure disappeared into the wind and snow, leaving only an afterimage in the air. At this moment, in the void behind Columbia, the huge seraph wings were waving gently, but every time they waved, it was like the tail of a giant whale slapping on the sea, setting off huge waves. If the elemental power that permeates the sky and the earth can be easily seen by human eyes, then the people of Winter City will see an astonishing sight - The six-winged wings caused the surrounding elements to compress sharply inwards, and Columbia's body seemed to have turned into a black hole in the universe, constantly "devouring" a large amount of elemental power. Not only that, her singing rhythm changed regularly with the surge of elemental power, and finally resonated with the elemental power. The elements floating between heaven and earth instantly rushed into her body like a raging tide. At this time, no one dared to underestimate Columbia. She seemed to have become the master of the elements, controlling all the elemental powers in the world. At that moment, a ray of holy light seemed to come from the distant heaven. Columbia was bathed in the holy light, her hands were placed on her chest in a lifting position, and she sang pious and ancient songs. However, there was a trace of tears flowing from the corners of her eyes. In the days after Su Yu left, she thought it was just a brief separation, and the separation was just for a better reunion. Only today did she finally realize that she couldn't live without him, even if it was less than a month. Longing has taken over my heart, and my self-righteous strength has been completely destroyed by the deep feeling of longing. Your Highness, are you okay? Columbia recalled the extremely gorgeous fireworks display in the night sky in the city just now. It would be nice if you were around. Allow me to continue singing the most sincere and best wishes of the Fairy Clan for you. No matter how far away we are, you will definitely be able to hear it—— "Who in the future will believe my poems, even if they are all praises of your virtues." "Only God knows that it is a tomb, where your life is buried and your true colors cannot be revealed." …… When the chant ended, the huge elemental power that poured into Columbia was compressed to the extreme and suddenly released. This release was not in the form of a shock wave from the inside out, but poured into the ground through her feet. After releasing all her power, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Ley veins are indeed the most perfect medium for spreading information. They spread faster than air and farther than sea water. Your Highness will definitely be able to hear it."
She wiped the tears from her eyes and went to rescue the besieged Arecino. This time the enemy sent more than three demon gods, as well as an emperor from the dark abyss. It was not easy for Columbia to survive alone. "You finished it so quickly. I haven't fought enough by myself." Arecino spat out the blood in his mouth, grabbed his left arm and twisted it hard to correct the dislocated arm. "How can these bastards fight with each other today?" A crazy and lifeless attack." "They are very smart. They found out that His Royal Highness was not here, so they wanted to kill both of us." "Aren't they afraid of Your Majesty?" Columbia looked at her as if she were an idiot: "Three years ago, His Majesty was seriously injured while trying to save the prince. The cost of her intervention was very high." Arecino said with shame: "I have always been accustomed to His Majesty's protection. In the past three years, His Majesty the Prince has been protecting us from wind and rain. On the contrary, it is easy to forget that it is no longer Her Majesty the Queen who threatens the enemy." Columbia nodded: "Arecino, go clean the battlefield and leave them to me." "What are you talking about? It's absolutely impossible to ask me to clean up the battlefield. I suffered a little loss just now, and I want to get it back. When Dadalia finds out about today's battle, I don't know how those guys will laugh at me." Dadalia once followed her master and fought against dark creatures in the abyss, and later joined the Fools and became an executive, so he is qualified to face anyone's judgment on fighting against dark creatures. But it's a pity that this guy can't keep his mouth shut. If he knows that he is responsible for cleaning the battlefield, it won't take half a day for people to talk about it in the streets and alleys. Chapter 167 Performance Columbia smiled and said: "Arecino, haven't you always wanted to know how powerful the Fairy Clan is?" Arecino was stunned for a moment, then put down the weapon in his hand: "You really annoy me, this guy. Today is supposed to be a day for me to perform well." "Perform well? There is no audience here." "His Royal Highness is not here. If you take the risk and make such a big fuss, what will His Majesty think?" Arecino said helplessly: "You are His Majesty's favorite, His Majesty's heartthrob, I dare not compare with you. Your Majesty will not punish you, but I am not sure, maybe you can give me a For the charge of dereliction of duty, half a year's salary will be deducted, and the children in the orphanage will follow me to drink the northwest wind, so I have to kill more enemies." She pointed her chin at the most powerful Abyss Emperor in the distance: "Have you seen that humanoid monster with horns on its head and scarlet eyes? If I can kill him, I will die even if I die. It’s not a loss. Columbia, they really think highly of you, so they sent three powerful men at the level of demon gods and an abyss emperor.” "It's us." Columbia corrected her, "For our opponents to pay so much attention to this, I am not the only one to take this 'credit', you also share it. You have already performed just now, leave the rest of the time to me. ” Arecino looked at his companions up and down and laughed loudly: "Hey, do you know? Among the eleven executives, you are not my favorite. You usually live alone and don't like to be with us. Communicate and stay away from everyone, but today I started to like you. I want to make friends with you." "Very good, it's not too late to find out." Arecino sat down and took out the gauze and bandaged the wound: "His Royal Highness once taught us that a gentleman wants the beauty of a man. I will give you the opportunity to show it. I will not clean the battlefield, I will be your audience behind you." "Okay, that's what you deserve. Thanks to you for protecting me today. Look, this is a performance for you -" Colombia made a punching motion, but with her other hand, she threw a snowball towards Arlecino. The snowball hit the unsuspecting Arecino squarely in the face. She had no idea what Columbia meant. Columbia smiled playfully and said: "If you want to be my friend, you must be mentally prepared to be bullied by me at any time." "what?" Arecino was really confused now, but a thought popped into his mind: This is the true temperament of the lonely and lazy executive [girl].
So every time she acted in front of everyone as if she was very dignified, was it actually a disguise? Arecino was still immersed in a little surprise, and Columbia had already walked towards the Abyss Emperor on the opposite side. She seemed to be strolling in the yard, without any sense of tension that a war was about to break out. For a brief moment, Arecino wondered, was Colombia not ready for the battle? Although there is a huge difference in strength between the Abyss Emperor and the most terrifying Abyss King, he is much more powerful than those three demon-level powerhouses. Moreover, the Abyss Emperor's strength and combat skills are also quite weird. They almost killed her when they fought just now. , Colombia must not underestimate its enemy. The enemy on the opposite side was also confused by Columbia's actions. For a moment, they did not launch an attack, but vigilantly observed the humans walking straight towards them. What happened next gave Arecino a new understanding. It turned out that she didn't understand the Abyss Emperor, let alone her partner. In other words, her previous knowledge was based on false speculations, but now it was ruthlessly shattered by reality. Columbia walked forward quietly, without shoes, leaving her petite footprints in the snow. Arecino was surprised to see countless low leyline flowers growing out of her footprints! It was obvious that in the process of moving, Columbia had some kind of connection with the magical leyline that she could not understand. It's just that those leyline flowers grow very fast and wither very quickly. After Columbia takes about three steps, the old leyline flowers will wither and new ones will grow from her new footprints. shoots. She was certain that it was not caused by the grass element, but by the power of the earth's veins. Ley veins are equivalent to the blood vessels and nervous system of the Teyvat continent. On the one hand, they transmit elemental power, and on the other hand, they store the information of time. Arecino once went to Xumi with [Doctor]. The wise men from the Xumi Order told her that human knowledge and power come from the earth's veins. The earth's veins gave birth to human civilization and may contain great power that surpasses the gods. It was no secret to her that Sumeru's World Tree was connected to the earth's veins, but when the wise man finished speaking these words, she had the feeling that the other party was deliberately exaggerating in order to highlight the magic of the World Tree. This is like how she often boasts in front of people from other countries about how awesome the eleven executive officers are, but in the end it is just to show the strength of the Winter Kingdom. Therefore, she believes that the statement that "the earth's veins contain power beyond the gods" is open to question. . Although human research on earth veins is still in the initial stage of exploration, she will not deny the magic and power of earth veins. The physique of the Fairy Clan is special. If Columbia uses the power of earth veins to convey her singing voice to His Highness, then maybe she can Can fight with the help of ley lines. Her judgment was immediately verified. As Columbia walked, she recited a passionate melody. She had never heard Columbia sing such fast-paced ancient songs before. In short, it was a kind of music used for fighting. An almost substantial mental shock wave greeted the charging group of monsters in an instant. The monsters participating in the attack today are equivalent to the top masters among humans who have the eyes of gods. They are ferocious in temperament and have tenacious vitality. They were sent by the Abyss Emperor to take the lead and test the reality of Columbia. In the end, after just one encounter, all the monsters fell into a deep sleep on the snow. A few seconds later, the heads of the monsters exploded like watermelons one after another, and the entire snow was dyed red. The Abyss Emperor roared angrily and sent three demon-god-level subordinates to besiege Columbia. The three demon-god-level creatures stood in front of them like three mountain peaks. Because their bodies were too large, they temporarily blocked the southeast wind. Columbia felt that the biting cold wind hitting her face had become much milder, so why not use the enemy's body to block the cold winter wind in the east city. When this thought came to her mind, her steps slowed down a little, but the singing in her mouth became more high-pitched and passionate. So a few seconds later, three demon-god-level creatures attacked each other like crazy. They bit each other's necks and died tragically on the spot before they could reach Columbia. Next, it is the turn of the Emperor of the Abyss.
Chapter 168 Singer The dark creatures in the abyss also have strict hierarchies like humans. Those at the bottom are mostly soldiers and generals, and their combat power is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary adults. Colombia heard Arecino mention something. A warrior who was famous in history was once born in her hometown. When that warrior resisted the invasion of dark forces 500 years ago, he led the farmers in the village to use hoes and sickles as weapons and defended the village for decades at a small cost. Afterwards, his heroic deeds were widely spread, and Her Majesty the Queen knew about it. After the incident, he ordered a monument to be built locally to commend his heroic and unyielding fighting spirit.
