Seeing Aether suddenly appear, Su Yuan was montarily stunned...
Why would Aether say sothing like that?
Wasn’t he supposed to be looking for his sister?
Why volunteer to die again?
Wait... Su Yuan suddenly realized sothing — why did he think "again"?
"Ah — it’s the Traveler..." The Wanderer didn’t seem surprised by Aether’s sudden appearance, and spoke with disbelief.
"Don’t bother pretending to be noble here. You know my request: it must be a willing death."
"You still have attachnts in your heart. You’re still searching for your sister — how could you possibly willingly die here?"
"No! I’m willing!" Aether answered firmly.
"But I have one condition: you must tell — what’s the situation with Albedo and Xiao right now? Where are they?"
The Wanderer looked at Aether in puzzlent.
Aether’s serious expression didn’t look like a lie...
After a mont’s thought, the Wanderer slowly said, "Since you’ve decided to die willingly, there’s no point telling you — I only need to tell the living Su Yuan, right?"
"No. You must tell !" Aether insisted, resolute and not to be refused.
"If I don’t know this, I cannot willingly die!!!"
"What a pointless gesture..." the Wanderer sneered.
"What use is it for a dying man to know so much?"
Su Yuan watched this scene in shock.
What did Aether an — why was he so intent on dying, and why so adamant about getting that information?
Faint mories surfaced in Su Yuan’s mind; a slight ache ran through his head...
Was Aether so desperate to die because he wanted to die in front of Su Yuan?
Was Aether insisting on knowing these things to preserve the mories?
"Tsk... fine." The Wanderer clicked his tongue, sowhat exasperated.
"Albedo and Xiao — I hid them in the pool at the center of Dadaupa Gorge, the place where the sword-tomb seal used to be..."
"I’ve gone this far already — I hope you won’t lie to ," Aether said, nodding and asking, "Since you want my remains, and you require to die willingly... then suicide or murder — it shouldn’t matter, right?"
"Theoretically, yes."
The Wanderer gave a slight nod, and without a mont’s hesitation, Aether drew his one-handed sword and slashed it across his own neck.
Blood splattered instantly — he had taken his own life!!!
Watching this, the Wanderer’s brows furrowed slightly.
He hadn’t expected Aether’s words just now to be completely genuine...
"Traveler, just what was it that drove you... to go this far?" the Wanderer muttered as he hoisted Aether’s body onto his shoulder, preparing to leave.
"Su Yuan, everything I said just now was the truth. If you go to Dadaupa Gorge, you will naturally find Albedo and Xiao..."
"As for , since I’ve already obtained the Descender’s remains, our paths likely won’t cross again for quite so ti..."
"Once I’ve settled those ssy affairs in Suru and regained the World Tree’s power of connection, I will definitely make Dottore pay a terrible price!!!"
But just as the Wanderer was about to carry Aether’s corpse away, both he and Su Yuan suddenly felt an overwhelmingly terrifying aura!!!
A tiny figure appeared before them — yet within that small body surged a power beyond asure, overflowing with rage...
"You... how dare you do this..."
"The Traveler... the Traveler is dead!!!"
"Why didn’t you protect him? We haven’t yet traveled all across Teyvat together... we haven’t yet tasted all the world’s delicacies..."
The Wanderer, now visibly tense, stared at the voice before him with an expression of sheer disbelief, and spoke: "Paimon? You... you’re Paimon???"
"Even if you’d fallen into a state of Eerie, how could there possibly be such terrifying power within you???"
"It was you, wasn’t it... you bastard... You’re the one who drove the Traveler to his death, aren’t you???"
Before the Wanderer could even react to Paimon’s icy, furious voice, he suddenly felt his head drop to the ground...
At that mont, the Wanderer’s face was filled with shock, completely unable to comprehend—
What was happening with Paimon? How could she possibly wield such imnse power?
How could he be killed so instantly, with no chance to fight back???
The Wanderer is after all a construct — even with his head severed he did not truly die.
He glared at Su Yuan in fury and shouted:
"Su Yuan!!! Was this all part of your plan too???"
"But sacrificing the Traveler, using Paimon’s imnse Eerie combat power to take down with you — is that really worth it???"
Faced with the Wanderer’s loud accusations, Su Yuan looked innocent and bewildered...
How was he supposed to know that Eerie-state "Paimon" would possess such terrifying strength?
And he would never, ever sacrifice his companions to achieve an end!
Still, Su Yuan thought, since Aether had already fallen, this death-rewind now seed unavoidable...
If that was the case, he might as well find a way to die at the hands of Eerie-state "Paimon"!
But just after that thought crossed his mind, sothing unexpected happened.
Su Yuan felt his left hand move — entirely without his control!
He stood there stunned.
What was happening to his left hand? Why was it moving on its own?
The sensation felt strangely familiar: a part of his body acting autonomously, beyond his control.
Yet at the sa ti he felt a flicker of hope — if his left hand was still active, then perhaps the left-palm prompt might yet return!
Maybe he was about to win the resurrection match, and after the next death rewind the right-palm prompt would reappear!
But in the next instant, an even more shocking thing occurred...
Su Yuan watched his own left hand reach into his pocket and pull out the small knife he always carried...
Then... it drove the blade hard into his own heart!!!
