Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 100: Ch : Let’s start by trying it on a Hydro Slime first

Chapter 100 - Ch 100 : Let's start by trying it on a Hydro Slime first

Facing the current situation, Su Yuan couldn't figure it out.

If it was truly possible to transfer the identity and authority of the Hydro Archon to a mere insect, then why was Focalors death inevitable?

Just like energy cannot be created from nothing nor disappear into nothingness—if the divine throne of the Hydro Archon was destroyed and the authority of the Sovereign Dragon did not return to Neuvillette, where would it go?

"You filthy wretches! Interrupting my interview! Lying to me! And you even took away my 'Monsieur Verite'!!!"

Trapped temporarily in the massive iron cage, "Charlotte" roared in fury, an eerie energy surging violently from her body as she began to savagely attack the cage.

"I won't forgive you! You'll all pay a terrible price for this!!!"

Watching the cage shake violently, looking as though it could fall apart at any moment, it was clear it wouldn't hold for long...

"Su Yuan, what now?" Neuvillette turned to him and asked.

"Let's send Charlotte off one last time..."

Su Yuan replied helplessly.

They couldn't waste any more time here.

Now that there was a chance to make even a insect the new Hydro Archon, no matter how slim, it had to be tried!

"Then allow me,"

Clorinde said, drawing the rapier from her waist as she stepped in front of "Charlotte."

"Miss Charlotte, I challenge you to a fair and honorable duel!"

"A duel? Who wants to duel you? I have absolutely no interest in that!"

"Charlotte" replied bluntly, showing no courtesy.

Hearing this, Clorinde furrowed her brows...

Another rejection of her duel request? Her rule's limitations were still too strict...

However, Su Yuan walked up to Aether, took the "Monsieur Verite" from his hands, and raised it high above his head.

He looked toward "Charlotte" and slowly said,

"Charlotte, if you don't accept Clorinde's duel, I'll smash Monsieur Verite right here and now!"

"You're welcome to try. Let's see which is faster—your charge, or my swing to the ground!"

"Y-You!!!"

"Charlotte" wore an expression of sheer fury, glaring daggers at Su Yuan.

Then, reluctantly, she turned to Clorinde and said through gritted teeth,

"Fine. I accept your duel..."

"I forfeit."

The moment "Charlotte" accepted, Clorinde immediately declared defeat.

Right after, an overwhelming and intense aura of eerie power surged from her body...

Seeing this unfold, Su Yuan felt a pang of guilt.

Even though Charlotte had already come to terms with this outcome and agreed to it... using her like a tool just to extract information, and even threatening her with something she cherished—his conscience was having a hard time accepting it.

But this was the price they had to pay... to save Fontaine from the prophecy's doom.

Without a doubt, in terms of combat strength after being corrupted, "Charlotte" was no match for "Clorinde."

"Charlotte" was slain by Clorinde's blade, but in her final moments, her eyes drifted toward Monsieur Verite, her hand slowly reaching out for it... yet unable to touch it again.

Su Yuan couldn't bear to watch the scene unfold.

Why did Charlotte care so much about Monsieur Verite?

Could it be that the condition for breaking her eerie corruption was somehow tied to it?

But even if he had that theory, it would have to wait for another time—right now, the most pressing matter was to begin the experiment with Focalors to transfer the identity and power of the Hydro Archon.

"Everyone," Su Yuan said, suppressing the sorrow in his heart, voice firm, "we don't have time to mourn Charlotte's death. We need to begin the experiment immediately..."

Right after, Su Yuan shared with everyone the two conclusions he had drawn based on Charlotte's rules.

After hearing Su Yuan's explanation, Neuvillette showed a thoughtful expression and turned to him.

"Focalors, based on what we know so far, it is possible to transfer the identity and power of the Hydro Archon."

"Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be an insect—that was just a metaphor."

"Since you're the Hydro Archon, we may need to look for creatures with a natural affinity for Hydro..."

"Like fish, shrimp, Hydro Slimes, Aberrants, or similar beings..."

"I feel like the chances of success would be higher that way..."

Focalors nodded and said,

"I, too, was once nothing more than a vassal of Egeria—just a normal Oceanid..."

"So I'm fairly certain that passing on the Hydro Archon's seat to another Oceanid should be possible..."

After hearing that, Wriothesley spoke thoughtfully,

"If that's the case, then theoretically, any of us from Fontaine could become the next Hydro Archon..."

"And if it comes to that, we might as well go to the Fortress of Meropide and find one of the most heinous criminals..."

"Some of those people, with all the evil they've committed, are just wasting the air they breathe..."

"We in the Fortress even have to provide them with housing, jobs, and the special canteen even gives them free meals..."

"I've actually wanted to reform the system for a long time," Wriothesley said with a sigh, glancing at Neuvillette.

"But that old fossil refuses no matter what."

Su Yuan also looked toward Neuvillette.

In Fontaine's laws, although the death penalty theoretically existed, no one had actually been sentenced to death for centuries.

The vast majority of criminals were simply exiled to the Fortress of Meropide.

Su Yuan wasn't sure whether that system was ultimately good or bad.

"Actually, back when Egeria entrusted the position of Hydro Archon to me and left to fight in the cataclysm," Focalors said, "from that moment, I had already become the Hydro Archon in name."

"But I could feel it—my power and authority weren't complete..."

"It wasn't until Egeria perished in the Tunigi Hollow that I truly felt myself become the complete Hydro Archon."

Those words from Focalors struck a chord in Su Yuan—and in everyone else as well.

So even if the position and authority of the Hydro Archon could be transferred, unless Focalors died, the power couldn't be fully passed on?

If that was the case, then even if they killed the new Hydro Archon and destroyed the Divine Seat, the full authority of the Sovereign Dragon wouldn't return to Neuvillette...

Which meant Neuvillette could never truly reclaim the full power of the Sovereign Dragon, and never become the complete dragon he was meant to be.

But still—no matter how grim the situation—could they really just surrender and bow their heads to fate?

At the very least, we have to give it everything we've got—only then will we know if there's even the slightest chance.

"Everyone... there's no need to keep dwelling on this issue!" Su Yuan spoke up.

"At the very least, let's go and give it a try! If we don't even try, how will we know whether it'll succeed or fail?"

"If hydro-aligned creatures are more suitable, then let's just start with something common—like a hydro slime!"
