Chapter 256: The Defeat of the Maintainer?
In the world where time stood still, the four powerful warriors at the top of the abyss who were not affected all looked at each other with emotion, and the Dragon King Ruotu was even more amazed and said:
"It's worthy of the power of time. Although the opponent broke free last time, the strengthened Ye Li will not let him escape easily this time. I don't know what the kid will do next."
"What else can we do? Of course, we can kidnap the Maintainer and ask him some questions. I also have a lot of questions about things other than Teyvat that I want to ask, so this will be a one-time solution."
There was no sign of tension on Gui Zhong's face. His relaxed tone and cheerful smile made the three people around him feel relaxed. However, this relaxation only lasted for a brief moment, as the four of them were soon attracted by the movement below.
Morax had a strange expression on his face, as if he was deeply shocked even though I didn't understand it.
The corners of Buyer's mouth twitched slightly. He stared at Ye Li below who was starting to act funny, provocative, and even teasing him. A faint feeling of helplessness spread throughout his body.
Gui Zhong looked like an experienced person and didn't care about the kid's mischief at all. He just watched the wonderful scene below with relish.
As for the Dragon King Rudra, he had already covered his eyes, as if he saw nothing. The memory of a long-dead person did not appear in his mind, but a phantom pain in the back of his head made him feel an inexplicable fear.
At this moment, in the highly watched scene below, Ye Li looked arrogantly at the Maintainer who had been controlled by the time stop and whose spirit and will were constantly shaking, and said the words of a villain:
“Roar, roar, maintainer, in the face of the power of time suspension, your spatial power is constrained like a fish out of water. No matter how hard you struggle, it is difficult to escape the power of time.”
"Asshole! How come the power of time is in your hands? Even if you have the Eye of God, you can't master it to this extent."
The Maintainer's huge mental observation detected the time stop. Now she was unable to break free and could only watch Ye Li walking towards her with his hands on his hips and walking in a cat-like manner. An inexplicable aura made her feel pressured, and she felt so angry in her heart that she wanted to punch the other person hard.
"Oh, I see. It seems I know some incredible news. However, the thing you call the Eye of God is really useful. It took me a long time to comprehend and master the power of time that can be explored from it."
Ye Li stopped standing with his hands on his hips and walking in a cat-like manner. His entire aura changed from the original strange oppressive feeling to a state of terrifying threat under a gentle appearance.
Taking out the red wine brewed by Mond from the token, Ye Li raised the transparent tall wine glass with one hand, with an unfathomable smile on his stern face, and said in a gentle and elegant manner:
"Ms. Maintainer, although I am an outsider, I have heard that there are secrets on Sky Island that even the World Tree cannot discover. If I go over and investigate now, how would you feel if I cannot stop you?"
"Outsider, you are the most dangerous person I have ever seen. Your precise calculations and far-sighted ideas, even your current provocations, are just baits to paralyze my mind and deceptive delays."
The Maintainer's gaze was filled with unprecedented seriousness. His body, which was suspended in time, and the surrounding space and time all began to crack slightly, and a force from the sky was completely erupted.
"No, no, no, Miss Maintainer, it's too late to unleash your full strength now. And what I said before was not a bait, nor was it a lie. I really had this idea."
Ye Li came behind the Maintainer in an instant, holding the muzzle of the latest self-made version of the Skyfire Holy Judge Teyvat's gun against the back of the other party's head, and said in a sincere and nonchalant tone:
"So, the one who upholds justice, I did not lie!"
"How could it happen, so fast!"
The Maintainer was horrified. She had successfully broken free from the constraints of time and was about to smash the black block in her hand at Ye Li who was approaching her, but the other party was able to use the power of time to accelerate again on the scale of time stop. This terrifying level of control made her feel like she was facing the origin, which seemed insurmountable.
The terrifying high-temperature bullet compressed to the limit pierced through the Maintainer's head. The sound of him falling to the ground was extremely clear in the world where time flows, but Ye Li did not feel relaxed at all. He raised another Skyfire Judgment behind him and fired a shot at a certain place behind him.
The scorching heat penetrated the earth, and the Maintainer hiding in the shadows reappeared. The moment it turned into a black cube at Ye Li's feet and was about to wrap him up was particularly thrilling and exciting.
"Outsider, you missed a step after all. Just fall into a long sleep."
The corners of the Maintainer's mouth turned up, revealing the confident and aloof demeanor of a queen, as if the embarrassment she had suffered before had never occurred.
Looking at the black cube that was gradually disintegrating its power, Ye Li did not show any panic on his face. There was a hint of seriousness in his calm eyes, and the immortal power that had been accumulated in his body for a long time shone with an extreme flame that soared into the sky.
The dark block was resisted, and Ye Li quickly left the land wrapped by the dark block. The faint golden flames around him like a burning flame brought unprecedented pressure to the maintainer.
At a speed that surpassed the instant he said it, Ye Li had already arrived in front of the Maintainer and raised his fist. Without any thought of mercy, he punched the other person hard in the face.
The Maintainer, who hadn't reacted yet, received a solid punch on the face. The pain in her face brought her the most humiliating anger, even though she hadn't been injured for a long time.
However, the pain on her face had not yet subsided, and she was about to fly out when she suffered a more serious impact.
An elbow hit the abdomen and a high kick hit the jaw. Ye Li, who was already fighting seriously, punched and kicked the maintainer without mercy. The sound of air exploding from the punches hitting the flesh continued to ring on the maintainer's body.
The Maintainer, who had no power to fight back, endured the pain and was hit by Ye Li's continuous high-speed movement in the air. In the chaotic vision, he activated his own spatial force and narrowly avoided the heaviest punch.
After being teleported to a place ten thousand meters away from the expanded hole in the Layered Abyss, the Maintainer had not even had time to catch his breath before golden flames followed closely behind him and without any delay or pause, a fierce punch struck him in the abdomen.
The body and mind suffered severe pain and shock, the maintainer's eyes seemed to roll back, and he was hit hard into the sky.
The Maintainer's body broke through the sky like a shrimp and crashed into the thick rock wall. It continued to advance without any pause. The rock wall that was hit was also constantly cracking and disintegrating, until it broke through the surface of the rock abyss and flew into the sky.
Golden light flowed in Ye Li's eyes, and the golden flames burning around his body rose again. He stepped on the ground, absorbing the condensed power from it, and in one step he crossed the distance between the deepest part of the abyss and the surface. In less than two seconds, he arrived in the sky, getting closer and closer to the Maintainer who had recovered.
"We can't rely on luck. The other party has too many tricks up their sleeves. If that's the case, then..."
The Maintainer made the most correct decision in her life. The white block that slowly appeared in her hand and her body that gradually became transparent showed her awareness and magnanimity.
At this moment, Ye Li, who was flying rapidly from below, placed one hand on the side of his waist, with his palm clenched into a flower shape. The vast amount of immortal power in his body gradually compressed into a round energy ball in the palm of his hand.
The surrounding sky gradually darkened, and the golden energy ball in Ye Li's palm became the only light in the sky.
The Maintainer, who had paused and was sinking from the sky, clenched the white block in his hand and pushed it downward with his own strength. He looked at Ye Li who was rushing towards him with a determined look and roared out his inner anger and determination:
"You are an outsider recognized by the world! Since you can force me to this point, I am willing to call you the strongest. This is my last strength, take it!"
Looking at the maintainer above who had completely given up his arrogant image and looked like he was ready to fight to the death with him, a hint of vigilance flashed in Ye Li's eyes, but he did not stop the movements of his hands.
Releasing the immortal power that had been compressed to the extreme, Ye Li pinched the energy ball in his hand into the shape of a long sword, and the Eye of God on his waist flashed with light.
The world stopped for a moment again. The Maintainer looked down at the chest pierced by the golden sword. He raised his golden eyes and saw Ye Li's slightly pale face. He smiled helplessly and said regretfully:
"I was defeated, but not completely. The price of this battle left a deep impression on me. As an outsider, you are enough to look down on everyone."
