Chapter 288

Yae Miko was shocked by the Gnosis that Takumi took out.

"You..."

"The Anemo Archon and the Geo Archon gave you their Gnosis?"

As she spoke, her expression became serious.

What was going on?

Hearing her words, Takumi shook his head.

"They're fake."

"I asked you to bring the Gnosis to make a copy."

"Although my ability is somewhat related to the Gnosis..."

"In the future, I will definitely gain the ability to control death."

Takumi already possessed the power of three Herrschers—Herrscher of Reason, Herrscher of Wind, and Herrscher of Rock.

Soon, he would likely obtain the power of the Herrscher of Thunder as well.

Thinking of this, Takumi's gaze shifted to the Gnosis in Yae Miko's hands.

Upon hearing Takumi's words, Yae Miko was stunned.

Copy the Gnosis?

"Hey~~!"

"Your ability..."

"If the Cryo Archon finds out..."

Outrageous.

How could someone replicate the power of a Gnosis?

"Can you lend me the Gnosis?"

"In return, once I gain the power to control death, I will help you resurrect Makoto."

Takumi voiced his intentions.

Hearing this, Yae Miko nodded without hesitation.

She did not refuse.

At the same time, she confirmed that simply lending Takumi the Gnosis would not be a major issue.

If Takumi truly gained the ability to control death...

The thought alone excited Yae Miko.

Makoto... the past... her lost friends...

She couldn't contain her anticipation.

Without hesitation, Yae Miko handed over the Gnosis.

"Then show me how you copy it."

Hearing her words, Takumi smiled.

He accepted the Gnosis she handed over.

The moment he touched it, purple lightning surged around it.

Seeing this, Yae Miko raised an eyebrow and instinctively withdrew her hand.

Meanwhile, Takumi firmly held the Gnosis.

As he grasped it, the thunderous energy intensified.

Simultaneously, the emblem of the Herrscher of Reason manifested in Takumi's eyes.

In an instant, he began analyzing the Gnosis in his hands.

Not only that, but a new power awakened within him.

In addition to the blue symbols in his eyes, faint traces of purple began appearing.

It was as if something was about to emerge from his forehead.

However, he forcefully suppressed it.

He had no intention of turning into a ghost!

The power of the Herrscher of Thunder began fully awakening.

For a moment, Takumi's overwhelming presence shook Liyue.

Many Adepti sensed the disturbance.

As did Zhongli and Venti.

At that moment, Venti, who was drinking with Zhongli, turned his gaze toward Guiliyuan.

"Old man!"

"Is that Takumi?"

Hearing Venti's words, Zhongli nodded.

"It is indeed him."

"The Electro Gnosis has fallen into his hands."

"Thus, his new power has awakened."

Saying this, he took a sip from his cup.

To be honest, Takumi's rate of growth was terrifying.

At this point, Takumi had already surpassed him.

Even the Heavenly Principles might have to kneel!

"Hey~!"

"I'm so jealous."

"What if we gather the other Gnosis and give them all to him?"

Venti suddenly had a wild thought.

What if Takumi absorbed all seven Gnosis?

Wouldn't his power break through the heavens?

Hearing this, Zhongli shot him a glance.

"That is not something we should meddle with."

"He has his own plans."

"We don't need to interfere."

"Besides, the Cryo Archon..."

The Cryo Archon was also gathering Gnosis.

Shaking his head, Zhongli dismissed the thought.

Takumi had his own path.

And with his current strength, he feared no one.

Thinking of this, Zhongli felt at ease.

He no longer needed to worry.

Instead, he could simply enjoy his leisure time.

After all, he had won a lot of Mora recently.

He could afford to play for a long while.

As for his salary?

Gone. All gone.

But that didn't matter—he had winnings.

Back in the General Affairs Department, Takumi's Herrscher power fully activated.

He obtained his fourth core.

At the same time, he successfully copied the Gnosis.

Yae Miko stared blankly at the man before her.

He had grown even stronger.

And now, he wielded the power of lightning.

Even stronger than Ei.

Yae Miko was speechless.

Just who was this man in front of her?

Takumi handed back the original Gnosis.

"Well, thank you."

"Here, take this."

"You might find it useful later."

"The copied Gnosis can't connect to Celestia."

"But all other functions remain the same."

"Even if you don't use it, it can serve as extra storage space."

Saying this, Takumi created a duplicate Gnosis in front of her.

Yae Miko was already numb.

Lend him the Gnosis, and he gives one back?

She picked up the copied Gnosis.

After careful inspection, she realized there was no difference between the two.

Except that one could not connect to Celestia.

The power of this man was terrifying.

At the same time, excitement surged through Yae Miko.

This meant Takumi might truly possess the power to resurrect the dead.

Her eyes gleamed with anticipation as she looked at him.

Yae Miko leaned forward, her gaze intense.

"What else do you need to resurrect Makoto?"

"If it's within my power, I will cooperate unconditionally!"

Hearing her words, Takumi blinked.

Looking at Yae Miko before him...

Good grief. Unconditional cooperation?

Could she be a bit more careful with her wording?

That was too easy to misinterpret.

"To master the power of life and death, I don't know when it will happen."

"Nor what the exact conditions will be."

"It could be the next moment, or it could take years."

"It's impossible to predict."

"However, if you want to preserve Makoto's consciousness, you need to ensure it doesn't dissipate."

"Her remaining consciousness exists in the Musou Isshin."

Takumi revealed another secret.

Hearing this, Yae Miko was stunned.

Musou Isshin?

That was Ei's blade.

Makoto's lingering consciousness was inside it?

"Dissipate?"

"You mean her consciousness is fading?"

Yae Miko could no longer sit still.

What a joke.

She had just seen a glimmer of hope.

And now Takumi was telling her that Makoto's consciousness was about to vanish?
