The atmosphere instantly became tense and hostile.
The God of War of the Nation of Fire was staring intently at Yuuko, awaiting his reply.
Yuuko, without a second thought, smiled and said, "Come on, but before that, we need to change locations."
"Hahahaha! Seeing how straightforward you are, I feel relieved!" The Uncle burst into laughter again.
And so, the group left the port and exited the city.
They headed to a relatively open area in the wilderness.
This was the location chosen for their duel.
The spectators included Raiden Ei, the God of Inazuma; Venti, the God of Mondstadt; and Morax, the God of Liyue.
It could be said to be quite a luxurious lineup.
On the sidelines, the three Archons sat under the shade of a tree and began chatting.
Morax looked at Raiden Ei with a surprised expression and said:
"I really didn't expect this. You feel much more resolute now. Did he change you?"
Raiden Ei showed a bitter smile: "Yes, if it weren't for him, perhaps I would still be stuck in the Plane of Euthymia, unwilling to face anything..."
Morax smiled slightly and said no more.
At this moment, Venti spoke up, "I feel like both of you think highly of him."
Raiden Ei and Morax both smiled, offering no reply.
Venti scratched his head in confusion, then continued:
"Well, I know he's very capable, but... his current opponent isn't easy to handle, is he? That's the God of War of the Nation of Fire."
Raiden Ei nodded: "I know, but I don't think he will lose."
"Is that so?" Venti blinked and waved his hand:
"I don't think he will lose either, but to defeat the God of War of the Nation of Fire, he'll probably have to expend some effort, right?"
"After all, that Uncle is a genuine battle maniac. If he isn't completely convinced of his defeat, the Uncle won't choose to help you, right?"
"Perhaps." Raiden Ei closed her eyes, and only reopened them after a long moment: "But I still trust him."
Venti glanced at Raiden Ei in surprise, then waved his hand helplessly:
"Well, let's just wait and see what happens next."
...On the other side, on the vast plain, Yuuko was facing off against the Fire God.
The next moment, the battle was about to erupt!
The Fire God roared, terrifying flames erupted from his body, and simultaneously, he charged fiercely towards Yuuko.
And he threw a fist filled with blazing fire toward Yuuko.
Yuuko, however, stood still with his arms crossed over his chest.
Bang!
The Fire God's punch slammed into Yuuko's Jade Shield, emitting an extremely dull sound.
A massive burst of blazing fire erupted from the point of contact between the fist and the shield.
But after throwing the punch, the Fire God did not choose to continue the attack, but quickly retreated instead.
He looked at Yuuko with surprise and suspicion:
"This is the Liyue Archon's Jade Shield... Has the Archon actually entrusted such clearance to you..."
At this moment, the Fire God's face was filled with solemnity.
Even though he was the God of War, an arrogant battle maniac.
