Paimon stared in a daze at Aether's body lying in a pool of blood, and at the head dangling from "Kirara's" hand...
Huh?
The Traveler... just died?
Paimon had always known that the Traveler was a wanderer from another world, that one day, after reuniting with his sister, he would eventually leave Teyvat and embark on a new journey...
Paimon had imagined countless tis that, one day, she would have to bid him farewell...
But never like this.
Never in this mont.
Never in this way.
Sadness, anger, pain, shock, fear, regret—an overwhelming mix of emotions flooded Paimon's mind, her heart, her entire being...
"Little Paimon, it's your turn next~"
"As long as I kill you, no one will ever know about the goods I've been transporting~"
The cold voice of "Kirara" rang out as she slowly approached Paimon...
"The Traveler is dead... The Traveler is dead... The Traveler is dead... The Traveler is dead... The Traveler is dead..."
Paimon trembled all over, muttering the sa phrase over and over...
When "Kirara" reached Paimon's side, Paimon suddenly lifted her head, eyes wide as she stared at "Kirara," then burst into laughter:
"Hehehe... Hahahaha...!"
"The Traveler... He's dead! Ahahahaha!!!"
"The starry sky of Teyvat is a lie. This world is a lie, too..."
"This place... is hell!"
"Look closely! The Traveler... The Traveler is already dead!!!"
"This world is too cruel... It only magnifies suffering infinitely..."
"There are too many things that don't go the way we want... Watching the ones you care about die before your eyes while being utterly powerless to stop it..."
"I refuse to accept this reality..."
"A world without the Traveler... what aning does it have...?"
"Traveler... I will create a world where you exist!!!!!"
In an instant, an overwhelming surge of power erupted from Paimon's small body!
One of these powers was a dark, crimson force, interwoven with a sinister aura—the eerie energy known to all...
The other, however, was an unknown golden-orange radiance.
Though its true nature was unclear, the sheer pressure it exuded was no less terrifying than the eerie energy itself...
"Kirara" stared at this scene in utter shock.
An inexplicable, suffocating fear gripped her...
At this mont, Paimon wore a faint smile.
Her eyes—once bright and innocent—had transford into heterochromatic pupils.
One was a deep, sunken black void, from which foul-slling, crimson liquid continuously oozed...
The other shimred with a dazzling golden-orange light, so intense that it was nearly impossible to look at directly...
By all logic, those consud by eerie energy should beco mindless and fearless...
Yet, in this mont, "Kirara" felt nothing but terror.
One thought dominated her mind—run!
But could she escape?
With nothing but a re thought from Paimon, "Kirara's" limbs were severed in an instant, leaving her collapsed on the ground, utterly helpless...
Paimon slowly approached, grabbing "Kirara" by the ear and lifting her head as she spoke in an eerily calm voice:
"For everything you did to the Traveler... I will make you experience pain a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand tis worse!"
..............
"...Still a failure, huh?" Neuvillette gazed at the lifeless bodies of Chevreuse and Clorinde before him, montarily at a loss for words.
"If I had known... I should have stepped in myself from the start..."
"That way... Clorinde wouldn't have had to die in vain..."
"You don't need to bla yourself, Neuvillette," Su Yuan said.
"Given the circumstances, there was nothing we could have done. The misjudgnt in our assessnt... part of that responsibility is mine as well."
By now, Su Yuan was almost certain—the strength of one's eerie transformation had a direct correlation with the intensity of their negative emotions...
When the tiline resets, perhaps he could try using the Primordial Sea's water to indirectly save Chevreuse's father first...
If that failed, then Neuvillette would have no choice but to take action himself.
But just then, both Neuvillette and Su Yuan felt it—just outside the hospital, an overwhelming eruption of eerie energy surged forth, accompanied by an unknown force...
"Neuvillette!"
"Su Yuan!"
They called out to each other simultaneously.
"Let's go!"
Rushing downstairs to the hospital's entrance, they were t with a grueso sight—
The Traveler, already beheaded.
And beside him, a pile of flesh so mangled it was impossible to tell who it had once been...
However, from the scattered fragnts of torn clothing, there was little doubt—it was most likely Tartaglia.
And not far from them—
Paimon, her entire body shrouded in eerie energy and that unknown power, was thodically ripping the flesh off "Kirara"—who had already been carved into nothing more than a cat-shaped at stick—pulling it apart strip by strip, as if peeling dried at, performing a slow, agonizing death by a thousand cuts.
Su Yuan and Neuvillette could both sense the eerie energy lingering on "Kirara"'s body...
That made things quite clear—soone must have given Kirara a bad review, causing her to undergo eerie transformation...
Then, the eerie-fied Kirara had killed Tartaglia and Aether...
And the trigger for Paimon's eerie transformation was most likely Aether's death...
Su Yuan took a deep breath.
In that case, the one character he had known who had always been in an eerie state—that figure might truly not have been Paimon...
Aether had always believed in Paimon.
Of course, in a ga he had played before, there was one truth he had learned—beware of "Elysia-style traps"...
TL note : Elysia is from Honkai Impact 3, since i don't play Honkai so i don't know what reference an is this Lol, for the one whom play maybe you can share it with us.
Not all white-haired or pink-haired characters are secretly dark inside.
Not everyone who stays by your side, treats you well, and accompanies you through thick and thin must have so unspeakable agenda...
But still—this golden-orange energy surrounding "Paimon" now... what exactly was it?
"Neuvillette, cry," Su Yuan said, turning to look at him.
"But... you already can't dispel the rain and clouds a second ti today," Neuvillette replied hesitantly.
"It's fine. If I try hard enough, I can manage one more ti," Su Yuan said with a smirk.
"A man failing after just once? No way."
Su Yuan knew very well—he couldn't actually do it a second ti.
But in order to put Neuvillette at ease and let him fight without hesitation, he had to lie for now.
Besides, he was curious—just how powerful had Paimon beco after her eerie transformation?
"Alright." Neuvillette nodded, and dark clouds gathered once more.
A gentle rain began to fall from the sky...
Su Yuan swiftly adjusted his posture, kneeling down and bowing his head to the ground, making sure Neuvillette wouldn't mistakenly target him...
"Hehehe... Hahahaha... Heh..."
"Neuvillette" turned to face "Paimon", letting out a strange, eerie, and chilling laugh.
"I am Teyvat's Ancient Dragon—the one and only ruler of this world!"
"You show no respect—fine, you don't bow down in reverence, I can tolerate that..."
"But you actually dare to fly before ?"
"You truly are... one of a kind. The first in all of history..."
"Now... KNEEL!!"
