"Wow, you're someone who's embarked on the Destruction Path, that's amazing!"
"I wish Klee could also embark on a Path like you."
"That way, my bombs would definitely become even more powerful."
Klee looked at Hook enviously and said.
"Path?" Hook tilted her head in confusion. "Are you talking about my power? I was born knowing how to use this power. So it's called the Destruction Path?"
"Not knowing the name of her power but being able to use it, is that reasonable?" Paimon complained.
"The Destruction Path is different from Memory, Abundance, and Preservation that were mentioned before."
"And the name of this Path, it somehow feels like it emphasizes destructive power."
Lumine said, stroking her chin.
"You're right, Lumine."
"The Destruction Path was pioneered by the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook."
"Generally speaking, for those who embark on the Destruction Path, their destructive power will grow exponentially."
"This is also why Hook, although still very young, was able to defeat the Outer Universe Flame."
"If you give her some time, she will definitely become even stronger and take down more powerful Rift Creatures."
Luo Feng nodded and said.
[La Signora: Emphasizing destructive power, this is truly desirable. I really want to know what kind of existence the destruction star god who pioneered the Destruction Path is.]
[Tartaglia: Embarking on a Path can enhance destructive power! This Path is indeed desirable.]
[Arataki Itto: It looks quite good. If I embarked on this Path, would I be able to beat that Hook?]
[Kuki Shinobu: Please don't treat little girls as opponents like the Fatui Harbingers, Boss.]
[Yelan: The destruction star god... Does this star god want to destroy something?]
[Bennett: The destruction star god wants to destroy something? Surely it doesn't want to destroy the world, does it?]
[Ningguang: That joke isn't funny.]
"Luo Feng, do you think I can embark on the Destruction Path?"
"Also, if I embark on a Path, can I beat the Outer Universe Flame?"
Lumine raised her head and looked at Luo Feng curiously.
The previous battle made Lumine realize her current powerlessness even more.
Therefore, she yearned for power even more.
Otherwise, even returning to Teyvat, she would have no way to deal with the gods who might be enemies.
"There will be a chance. If you truly embark on the Destruction Path, with your current strength, you could probably easily defeat the Outer Universe Flame."
"Instead of having to use all your strength like Hook to eliminate an Outer Universe Flame that you had already worn down beforehand."
Luo Feng nodded and said.
"Hook didn't use all her strength, Hook can still fight."
Hook stomped her foot at Luo Feng in dissatisfaction and said.
Despite saying that, the sweat covering her head betrayed her.
"So that's it, I understand."
Lumine took a deep breath, her eyes revealing her longing for the Destruction Path.
"Since you understand, why not continue fighting?"
"Just in time, more opponents are coming."
Luo Feng showed a mysterious smile on his face and looked behind him.
"More enemies?" Paimon was startled, and quickly turned her head to look in the direction Luo Feng was looking:
"Wait, another Outer Universe Flame? No, two of them!"
"And a strange person completely engulfed in flames?!"
Luo Feng propped his chin with one hand and said:
"They were attracted by the battle here earlier."
"After all, your battle dragged on for too long."
"Also, the one completely engulfed in flames is a Fire-Bringer."
"He has no consciousness, just like the Outer Universe Flame, he is a monster driven only by instinct."
"You can rest assured and go kill them."
Lumine: "I'm really sorry it dragged on for too long!"
Paimon: "How are we supposed to kill them? One Outer Universe Flame was already that powerful, and now so many other monsters have come."
Luo Feng: "The Fire-Bringer is much weaker than the Outer Universe Flame, and can probably be considered the Universe version of a Hilichurl."
Paimon: "The Universe version of a Hilichurl Bruiser is already that powerful, so the Universe version of a Hilichurl must be much stronger than the Hilichurls in Teyvat. Don't think you can fool me this time, Luo Feng!"
The conversation between Paimon and Luo Feng also made Barbara, Klee, and the others look over.
Seeing so many monsters approaching again, everyone's expressions turned grim.
"Oh no, so many more have come."
"Hook has already used up most of her energy just now."
"Now there's no way to deal with so many Rift Creatures."
Facing the situation before her, Hook also couldn't continue to act tough.
Lumine, Jean, Barbara, and the others became even more worried when they heard Hook say that.
In the previous battle, they had also almost completely exhausted their strength.
And Hook also couldn't continue to use the powerful attack from before.
It seemed they were unable to cope with the current threat.
"Luo Feng, aren't you our guide?"
"Didn't you say you would protect us?"
"Shouldn't you be making a move now?"
Paimon hid behind Luo Feng's shoulder and said anxiously.
"Do you really not need to try fighting to break through your limits?"
"Let me tell you beforehand, my Blessing has a time limit."
"After the duration of my Blessing ends, it will be difficult for you to awaken again."
"Perhaps, if you just try a little harder, you can step onto the Path."
"Once you step onto the Path, those monsters won't be a big deal."
Luo Feng looked at Lumine, Barbara, and Jean, the three people present who most desired to step onto the Path, and spoke.
Hearing this, all three showed extremely conflicted expressions.
Naturally, they wanted to step onto the Path.
However, the enemies before them made it impossible for them to find a reason why they could win.
Even though Luo Feng had mentioned that once they stepped onto the Path, they could easily deal with these monsters.
"Can I really step onto the Path?"
Barbara pursed her lips and said with some lack of confidence.
"As long as you still have expectations for the Path, the Path might respond to you." Luo Feng turned his gaze to Barbara, his expression gradually becoming serious:
"Barbara, you also wouldn't want to be unable to treat Acting Grand Master Jean and Klee when they get injured in the future, right?"
Hearing this, Barbara's pupils trembled.
She looked at Lumine, Jean, and the others with a trembling body.
At this moment, there were still lingering wounds on the two of them.
These wounds were ones she, as a medical professional, should have been treating.
However, right now she had no way to channel elemental energy to help Lumine and Acting Grand Master Jean.
At this moment, the Rift Creatures were getting closer and closer.
Even the bodies of the two Outer Universe Flames had begun to burn with scorching flames, clearly gathering power and preparing to attack them.
Seeing this, Jean and Lumine instinctively held their swords and blocked in front of Barbara.
Barbara saw Jean and Lumine in front of her and instinctively clenched her teeth.
'I don't want everyone to get hurt because of me.'
'I don't want to be unable to heal everyone anymore.'
'Barbara, you can do it.'
Barbara suddenly raised her head, her eyes bursting with fervent light.
She tried her best to channel her God's Eye, attempting to mobilize elemental energy to heal Jean and Lumine.
A light blue radiance quickly enveloped Barbara's entire body, transforming into cool streams of water that fell upon Lumine and Jean.
Feeling the injuries on their bodies being rapidly healed, both Lumine and Jean looked at Barbara in disbelief.
You should know that before, Barbara had been unable to mobilize elemental energy to cast healing spells.
"It's coming."
Luo Feng suddenly said.
"You don't need to tell me; I know the enemy's attack is coming."
Paimon said nervously.
"I'm not talking about the enemy's attack, Little Paimon."
Luo Feng raised his head to look at the sky, a happy smile appearing on his face.
"If it's not the enemy's attack, then what could it be?"
"Wait, why did those monsters suddenly stop moving?"
Paimon looked in surprise at the Outer Universe Flame and other monsters that had stopped in place as if a pause button had been pressed, and said in astonishment.
Klee: "Hook can't move either."
Lumine: "This feeling... it's like time has stopped."
Acting Grand Master Jean furrowed her lovely brows and carefully examined the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, she noticed that the scenery before her abruptly changed.
The original town suddenly disappeared.
In its place was an extremely mysterious Universe space.
"I wasn't saying the enemy's attack was coming."
"What I meant was, a star god's gaze is about to descend."
Luo Feng muttered to himself, looking at Barbara in front of him with full anticipation.
