A vast layer of ice, akin to an icy dome, enveloped the entirety of Mondstadt, casting a chilling shadow over the city.
From the outside, only the Mondstadt city walls encased within the icy dome were visible.
Every face in the city froze in an instant, a mixture of shock and disbelief etched upon them.
No one was ignorant of the powers granted by Vision, some Vision holders struggling to even overcome the strength of a robust ordinary person.
Yet, after consuming the Stigma Potion, Eula had directly encased Mondstadt within an ice dome.
It was an unbelievable change.
【Nervia】：“Is this the change after consuming the Stigma Potion? It’s terrifying.”
【Kamisato Ayaka】：“Without relying on water, she can generate such a massive freezing phenomenon out of thin air. This is practically divine power.”
【Shenhe】：“.....”
【Ganyu】：“Miss Eula has become so strong.”
【Amber】：“Eula, you, the future Valkyrie, are truly amazing.”
【Sangonomiya Kokomi】：“She’s certainly powerful, but she’s attacking your Mondstadt.”
【Lisa】：“No wonder even Ms. Alice admitted she wasn’t Eula’s opponent. This small display of her power is comparable to a god’s.”
【Leosly】：“The only word to describe Eula Lawrence now is terrifying.”
【Venti】：“Heh! Such a powerful Ice-elemental big sis.”
Tevyat glanced at the chat group, a desire to slap the current Barbatos rising within him.
“Don’t you dare join the fun in there. If the Fifth Descender notices you, it’ll be terrifying.”
If Eula, after consuming the Stigma Potion, was this terrifying, it meant her master, Su Xuan, who created it, was even more horrifying.
“You’re really going to find the Fifth Descender?” Tevyat was genuinely worried. Facing such a formidable being, he had no idea how to approach the situation.
Barbatos nodded, “There’s no other way. For the sake of Mondstadt, I have to try and meet him. Whether I live or die, at least it’s a glimmer of hope.”
On the other side.
Eula, lost in thought, sat by the fire, oblivious to the flames almost dying out.
“Was that really me in the light screen?” She asked herself, a hint of bewilderment in her voice.
Originally, she simply thought becoming a Valkyrie had made her more beautiful, her aura seemingly more befitting of a beautiful, icy woman.
Although her future self, after consuming the Stigma Potion, had mentioned a sense of wondrous and powerful strength, she never imagined it would be this extraordinary.
With a flick of her wrist, she could encase the entire Mondstadt in ice.
Even the legendary Alice had readily admitted defeat.
This realization struck a chord of profound shock within Eula, the current Eula.
As the leader of the Reconnaissance Company, constantly battling against threats to Mondstadt, she was acutely aware of the dangers lurking in this world.
Overwhelming strength was the sole guarantee of survival, just like the scene her future self had displayed.
In Mondstadt, no one could stop Su Xuan’s advance. The reason was simple: no one could match him in strength.
In that moment, Eula’s heart underwent a radical shift.
【“Ah!”】
【Several women felt an icy chill emanating from behind, their eyes widening in disbelief when they turned and saw the sight before them.】
【“Eula! You...” Jean stared at the Eula in front of her, her eyes filled with fury.】
【She couldn’t believe that her former Knight of Favonius comrade had frozen Mondstadt.】
【She was even more horrified to imagine that Eula, now a Valkyrie, had become so powerful. No wonder Ms. Alice had uttered such peculiar words about being inferior to Eula.】
【Now that she saw it firsthand, Jean finally understood Alice’s meaning.】
【But, what was happening before her eyes wasn’t just a matter of exceeding Alice’s strength.】
【The current Eula could only be described as terrifying.】
【Her transformation was a complete subversion of human cognition.】
【“This is the change after consuming the Stigma Potion, cough cough...”】
【Alice forced herself to suppress the terror welling within her, her voice calm as she spoke.】
【Unfortunately, she couldn’t hold back a cough, a streak of blood staining her lips.】
【Amber and Lumine rushed to Alice’s side, attempting to help her up.】
【“Ms. Alice, are you alright?” Paimon’s eyes were filled with panic.】
【She was utterly terrified and lost, not knowing what to do.】
【She couldn’t understand why Su Xuan, with whom they’d been getting along so well, would suddenly launch such a terrifying war on Mondstadt.】
【He was so kind.】
【Was it possible he had an enemy in Mondstadt?】
【“What’s going on here? Does Su Xuan have an enemy in Mondstadt?”】
【“Or did you hurt him in the past? Why else would he treat your Mondstadt like this?”】
【Paimon asked, frantic with worry.】
【Alice shook her head, her fiery gold eyes never leaving Su Xuan.】
【She forced down the pain coursing through her body, speaking faintly, “No one in Mondstadt should know him.”】
【“The power he wields is strange, unlike anything found in Teyvat.”】
【“If I’m not mistaken, he should be from outside the world.”】
【“From outside the world?” Lumine’s heart skipped a beat, her gaze snapping back to Su Xuan as he strolled towards Mondstadt.】
【He, too, came from outside the world?】
【However, before she could finish her thought, a warm current flowed into her hand.】
【She realized Alice was gripping her hand tightly, her eyes filled with hope. “Traveler, get out of here.”】
【“I’ll hold him off with my life and help you escape. You need to gather the seven elements and restore your original strength.”】
【“The future of Teyvat rests on your shoulders.”】
【“On me?” Lumine was stunned.】
【Amber was equally taken aback, looking at Lumine with surprise. She couldn’t fathom why Ms. Alice would suddenly say such things to Lumine.】
【She was just a Traveler, albeit a powerful one, searching for her lost siblings. Why would Ms. Alice…】
【“Traveler,” Alice’s voice grew firmer, her expression resolute.】
【In that moment, Lumine was speechless, stunned by Alice’s serious demeanor. It seemed as if she had something very important to tell her.】
【“I believe Su Xuan might be like you, a being from outside the world, someone who can be called a Descender.”】
【“Descender?” Lumine was taken aback.】
【Alice nodded heavily, “You are both capable of bringing about monumental changes to Teyvat, Descenders.”】
【“I don’t know much about Su Xuan, but I do know you, Traveler.”】
【“You are the Fourth Descender of Teyvat.”】
