Chapter 484

Great Sage?

Can you withstand my attack?

Under the shocked eyes of many people, nails fell from the sky, directly piercing those great sages. Some tried to resist fiercely, but under Takumi's Herrscher of Knowledge ability, everything about them was laid bare. He knew exactly what they were planning.

So, he simply decided to end it.

People die when they are killed.

Great Sage? Although they appeared impressive, under absolute power, these scholars were nothing more than weaklings. At this moment, they could not believe what was happening. The being in the sky had acted decisively, without hesitation, striking them down.

Is this the law of heaven?

Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they struggled between life and death. Yet, they soon realized something far worse—they could not die. Instead, they were trapped in a state of endless agony. The Herrscher of Consciousness altered their minds, making them long for death but keeping them alive in ceaseless torment.

The entire population of Sumeru was in shock.

What was this power? Why did such a terrifying existence appear?

With just a single move, everything was annihilated.

Ruin Guardians? They were as insignificant as toys.

Even the Abyss Order was terrified. They immediately took pictures of Takumi and sent them back to their Prince. Of course, Takumi noticed this. He chuckled to himself—he could only imagine Aether's reaction upon seeing it.

But the people below had no idea.

After finishing his work, Takumi snorted coldly and waved his hand. Many Ruin Guardians slowly vanished—they had been thrown into the Imaginary Space. With that done, Takumi disappeared from the scene.

Nahida watched him go and let out a sigh.

"Lord Grass God!!"

"That was..."

The people standing beside her were shocked.

What exactly had happened?

Nahida shook her head. She could not reveal the truth.

"Don't speak too much!" she instructed. "We have to deal with the aftermath first."

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Nahida felt a sense of exhaustion. There was too much to clean up.

Takumi returned to the Chasm.

At the same time, Venti arrived.

Seeing Takumi return, several others looked at him strangely.

"Takumi, aren't you afraid Celestia will come after you for this?" Venti asked.

They had all witnessed Takumi's actions.

He had impersonated Celestia itself, using its authority and similar abilities to create absolute havoc.

Good grief. Was he really pinning all the blame on Celestia?

Hearing Venti's words, Takumi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Afraid? Why should I be?" he said confidently. "She wouldn't dare come down. If she does, I'll just beat her up."

Celestia? Once upon a time, Takumi might have feared it due to his lack of power.

But now?

"Let Celestia come. I'm standing right here. Let's see if they dare to make a move."

With a smirk, Takumi dismissed the conversation.

"Anyway, let's head back," he said. "This was done by Celestia, not us in Liyue."

With that, he activated his spatial ability and vanished.

The others exchanged glances.

Venti looked at Zhongli. "What do you think, old man?"

Zhongli glanced at him. "I see with my own eyes."

With that, he turned to leave. "Let's go back. Sumeru has brought this upon itself."

He shook his head. There was nothing more to say.

Sumeru's fate was now in Nahida's hands.

As for the great sages? They should have died long ago.

Wendy chuckled but said no more.

Teyvat was getting more and more interesting.

What would Celestia do now?

Venti looked up at the sky, smirking.

He didn't ponder for long. Instead, he quickly followed Zhongli, eager for a drink.

Meanwhile, Xiao returned to his demon-slaying duties.

Many remnants of ancient evils still lurked, and now that he had purged his karmic debt, there was nothing stopping him from cleansing Liyue completely.

Back at the General Affairs Bureau, Takumi sat down to rest.

However, the peace was short-lived. Ningguang stormed in, clearly distressed.

"Takumi!!"

"Something big happened in Sumeru!!"

Takumi's expression turned amused.

"That was fast."

Was Ningguang's intelligence network this efficient? He had just returned, and already, the news had reached her?

Ningguang frowned. "Wait... you already know?"

She was confused.

She had rushed over as soon as she got the information, yet Takumi acted as if he had been expecting her.

"What news did you get?" Takumi asked, curious.

Seeing his reaction, Ningguang immediately understood—he knew everything already.

She sighed and sat down.

"Celestia has appeared," she said. "And it's in Sumeru..."

Before she could finish, Takumi interrupted her.

"Well... that wasn't Celestia. That was me."

Ningguang froze.

"You??"

She stared at him, dumbfounded.

What had this lunatic done?

Takumi shrugged nonchalantly. "Yeah, it was me. Nahida asked for my help, so I handled it."

"I just got rid of all those disgusting sages in the Akademiya in one go."

"Now, we can speed up the road construction."

"Once Sumeru's roads connect with Liyue, our products can flood their market."

"I'm just expanding Liyue's trade, nothing wrong with that, right?"

Takumi grinned. "Don't you agree, Ningguang?"

Ningguang was speechless.

Was this his idea of opening a market? Wiping out Sumeru's leadership?

This was insane.

She couldn't help but be impressed. This was beyond ruthless.

After a long silence, she finally sighed.

"Well... if the God of Wisdom requested it, then it's not our problem."

That was a relief.

As long as Liyue didn't officially take responsibility, it was Sumeru's issue, not theirs.

Realizing this, Ningguang finally smiled.

Sumeru… that was a massive market.

If they could fully establish trade routes, the benefits to Liyue would be unimaginable.

Yes, they had to accelerate their plans!
