Chapter 40
A Special Presence Within the Captain? It's the King's Aura!

As the giant screen in the sky cut to the scene of Marvekka battling the Captain in the Natlan Holy Flame Arena.

The Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya, the Fatui Harbingers, and others all felt their hearts skip a beat!

How did they feel that in the blink of an eye, Celestia had turned its attention to Natlan?

Cloud Retainer: "It's just the last death throes before the reckoning of Celestia arrives."

Ping: "Yes, since they haven't gotten the Pyro Archon's heart yet, they were doomed to fail the moment Celestia woke up."

Don't think that Lin Mo is just judging and rectifying the Seven Archons here.

In fact, Lin Mo is also constantly paying attention to the battle situation in Natlan.

As soon as Marvekka shows any sign of defeat, she will immediately intervene to suppress the Captain.

Paimon: "But...is this the power of the Fatui Harbinger's First Seat? They are actually fighting the Pyro Archon evenly?!"

Sandalphon: "Evenly? I think the Pyro Archon has the upper hand.

Dehya: "It seems to be a tie, but in fact, the Captain has been pushed back by the Pyro Archon."

Scaramouche: "The Pyro Archon's strength is unexpected, she can actually make the Captain helpless."

Raiden Shogun: "It seems the Captain won't be able to hold on for long."

.....

Holy Flame Arena.

Under the powerful strength of Marvekka, who had activated her burning state, the Captain was pushed back step by step.

Every head-on clash ended with the Pyro Archon Marvekka having the upper hand.

Bang bang bang!

Marvekka wielded a large sword, covered in a thick layer of Pyro energy.

With every move, she forced the Captain to passively defend.

"Hmph!"

After being pushed back again by Marvekka, the Captain coldly snorted.

Then he shattered a piece of ice in the air and charged towards Marvekka.

Marvekka was not afraid at all.

With her fiery red hair blazing, she also swooped down and rushed towards the Captain.

"Haaah—!"

Two deep roars echoed.

In an instant.

Marvekka and the Captain, who seemed to be transformed into Cryo and Pyro element powers, collided like a meteor striking the earth.

They clashed in the sky above the Holy Flame Arena!

Boom!

In an instant, the Cryo element power, emitting a cold mist, covered the two of them, it seemed like the Captain had won.

However...

The Cryo element power only lasted for less than a second before it was broken from the inside by the extremely hot Pyro element power.

The scorching Pyro element power quickly melted all of the Cryo element power.

Finally, a violent energy explosion, dominated by Pyro element power, erupted from the sky above the Holy Flame Arena.

The terrifying shockwave rippled outwards like ripples.

It shattered all the clouds in the sky!

Along the way, the shockwave severed many of the mountains in the Natlan region in half.

If Marvekka hadn't controlled the range of the energy explosion, the Holy Flame Arena below would have been destroyed in an instant.

Paimon: "So...so strong! Who won?!"

Lumine: "Dummy Paimon, it's obviously the Pyro Archon who won."

Sandalphon: "Yes, the Pyro element power devoured the Cryo element power, there is no doubt that the Pyro Archon won."

Scaramouche: "Even though I still admire the Captain's character, this scene still makes me feel happy. What about the Fatui Harbingers? What about the Tsaritsa? Can you do something?"

Facing Scaramouche's sarcastic remarks, the Fatui side ignored him.

They were not in the mood to deal with him either.

Then.

In the astonished eyes of countless people on Teyvat, as well as the Tsaritsa and the Fatui Harbingers.

A black figure fell from the sky in a freefall.

That was...

The Captain Capitano!

The Captain looked rather disheveled, and there was a flame burning on his chest.

Thump!

The Captain fell into a valley outside the Holy Flame Arena.

"Ah...!"

He struggled to get up from the ground.

He covered his chest, which had been punched by Marvekka, with one hand, seemingly injured.

Step.

Marvekka landed and gasped for breath.

It seemed that she had the upper hand in the battle against the Captain, but her own strength had also been greatly consumed.

But soon, Marvekka adjusted herself.

She took a step forward and walked towards the injured Captain with an aggressive air.

It seemed that Marvekka didn't intend to let the Captain go just like that.

"Ah...you truly deserve the title of Pyro Archon Marvekka, your power is indeed legendary, but today..."

The Captain said in a low voice: "I have a reason why I cannot lose!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Rumble!

It seemed as if the entire Natlan was shaking violently at this moment.

"This is the special existence within you?!"

Marvekka stopped and narrowed her eyes, her expression becoming increasingly grave.

Paimon: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Xiao: "It doesn't seem like the energy of an element..."

Zhongli: "Even I can't tell what kind of strange black energy this is..."

Great Tree King: "There is a bit of Abyssal energy, but not entirely!"

Dr. Dottore: "Has it reached this point? It seems that the Pyro Archon Marvekka is indeed not to be underestimated."

Nahida: "That is..."

Apep: "It's the Great King's aura!"

Paimon: "Apep is actually here too? Who is the Great King?!"

Great Tree King: "I think...the Great King that the Grass Dragon Apep is referring to is the Dragon King Nibelung, who once ruled Teyvat!"

Lumine: "How is that possible...isn't Nibelung already dead?"

Zhongli: "That's right, Dragon King Nibelung did die in the Funeral of Fire back then, but you have to know that it's very difficult to truly kill element life forms at the top, like Dragon King Nibelung and the Original Seven Dragon Kings."

Zhongli: "After the Teyvat Dragon Kings die, they will be reborn from their original corpses. The Water Dragon King Nahida in Fontaine is a product of this, not to mention the Black Dragon King Nibelung, who rules the Original Seven Dragon Kings."

Zhongli: "Perhaps what is on this Fatui Harbinger's body is just a fragment left over from the Dragon King Nibelung after his death. Even so, it is still enough to turn the tide of this battle against the Pyro Archon Marvekka."

Cloud Retainer: "Heh, I didn't expect the Fatui to have such a means!"

Apep: "Hmph, humans want to bear the power of the Great King, but they have to pay a heavy price."

Nahida: "The problem is that these costs are obviously more acceptable compared to the reckoning of Celestia."

Raiden Shogun: "A good plan, but it won't succeed. Dare to use the power of Dragon King Nibelung in front of Celestia, it's like asking for death."
