Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 450 The Hidden One

"Give up the Abyss?" Nighthawk frowned, his expression beneath the mask showing a hint of doubt and amusement. "Is that guy serious? If he's decided to give up his plan, why would he come to the Abyss?"

The Demon Lord folded his arms and said, "For the Dimensional Shadow Stone, he said that in order to create something to fight against Rex, we must rely on the mysterious power from the dimension."

"I see. That's why he went to such great lengths to try to hack into the Abyss's system." Nighthawk nodded with a hint of charm.

"That's right, but you know, relying on being an outsider, he has always been very self-righteous in the field of science. But he didn't expect to fall into someone else's trap this time."

"A trap?" Nighthawk asked doubtfully, looking down at the chaotic scene around him.

This situation is clearly the result of his success, so why do you say it is a trap?

"I told you not to be fooled by appearances. His plan seems to have succeeded, but in fact, he, the hunter, had already fallen into a trap set by another hunter while searching for prey." The Demon Lord turned sideways and looked down at the chaos under his feet.

"Another hunter? Could it be Rednos?"

The Demon Lord shook his head: "No, although he has many methods, they are still slightly inferior to that demon."

"Demon? Are you talking about the 'origin of time and dimension'?" Nighthawk asked in surprise and confusion.

"Yes. During the Sangyang Rebellion 200 years ago, although it made numerous military achievements, it didn't belong to any faction. It was both good and evil, unrestrained by anything. Without its assistance, how could Yite have easily hacked into the firewall?"

The Demon Lord continued, "Therefore, I am certain that even if it indirectly leads It to the location of the Dimensional Shadow Stone, it will only be a bait. Not only will Itt's journey be fruitless, but it will also trap him and make him suffer."

Nighthawk folded his arms and said, "Is that so? So my mission this time is to find a chance to rescue him?"

The Demon Lord shook his head slightly. "That's a plan we'll use as a last resort. Your mission is to use your identity to find the hiding place of the true Dimensional Shadow Stone in the Abyss on his behalf."

"So that's how it is. I understand." Nighthawk nodded.

"Well, be careful."

The Demon Lord turned around, and just as he was about to leave, Nighthawk suddenly called him again.

"grown ups!"

"Hmm? Anything else?" he asked gently, turning his head.

"There is one thing I'm still unclear about."

The Demon Lord paused for a moment and said, "You say."

"With your strength, it would be easy to collect all the guardian certificates and overthrow the Dream Sky Order. Why did you go to the trouble of establishing the Fallen Angel Brigade and letting these insignificant guys do your work? Forget about me, Thunder Lord, Ice Emperor, and Shadow Tyrant. Even against the Flame King and the Poison Spirit, they have to rely on external forces or cause disasters to have a chance of success. Honestly, I really don't understand why you do this."

Nighthawk suddenly asked with a heavy expression, but the Demon Lord just sighed after hearing it.

"Black Moon, I know you must have many questions right now, but for now, you just need to do your part. As for the rest, when the time comes, you will know the answers."

Hearing this, Nighthawk had doubts but could only do as he was told.

"Yes."

……

boom!

To the west of the abyss, Clara faced hundreds of security agencies alone.

She clenched her fists, and her feet were covered with scattered parts of the security system.

Unlike the initial start, this time, the mechanical wave he faced had already disintegrated and reassembled into a machine twice his size before he could even make a move.

"Tsk, it never ends!" She frowned, gritted her teeth, and gasped at the same time.

Looking at the machinery gathering again in front of her, she glanced behind her again.

At this time, Funina, Linny and others were helping the last group of people get to a safe place.

Tabak held up the troupe's shield for performances, barely blocking the flying debris.

Linnet and Femini, carrying the citizens with limited mobility, staggered but did not dare to stop.

"Everyone, hurry up! Don't panic, please move one by one!" Furninna shouted, directing with both hands.

Seeing this, Clara frowned again.

"Oh, it seems we need to buy some more time."

Swarlow's mechanical voice sounded again: "Clara, I suggest implementing the final support plan."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Clara immediately rejected it: "No, activating that suit of armor consumes too much energy. Now is not the time."

"But the current rate of mechanical assembly has outpaced its disassembly efficiency. If we delay any further, we'll all be trapped here." Swarovski's electronic voice was filled with rare urgency. "According to calculations, the armor's energy source can at least sustain it until the civilians are completely evacuated."

Clara shook her head violently: "That's too risky. If something unexpected happens again, I'm afraid we'll just die here."

She gave a fist bump.

"Now we can only bite the bullet!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Clara stepped up and kicked hard at the core of one of the mechanical bodies on the chest. However, the reassembled machine was too hard. Her heel instinctively broke the stone and cut the metal, but it only left a deep dent on its chest while knocking it to the ground.

“It’s really tricky!”

She punched hard, and this time she succeeded in breaking the core of another machine, but it also consumed a lot of strength.

"Clara, don't be impulsive. If you continue like this, you will be the first to run out of energy." Swarovski's mechanical voice became impatient again.

"Even so, I can't...Ah!"

She turned around and kicked another machine, but because she didn't have enough strength, the other party grabbed her ankle.

At that moment, the machine grasped her ankle and swung it violently, sending Clara's back slamming heavily against the broken wall, sending debris cascading down. She groaned and tried to struggle, but several metal arms wrapped around her like venomous snakes, pinning her to the wall.

what--!

"Clara!"

Clara screamed in pain. Hearing the noise, Funina, Lini and others who were evacuating the crowd turned around and saw Clara being pinned to the broken wall by several metal arms.

"Clara! Damn it, you idiots, let her go!" Tabak picked up a stick and tried to go forward to rescue her, but the next second, he was stopped by Linny.

He and Korla locked his shoulders and his waist respectively.

"Calm down, Tabaque, you can't help Clara if you go over there now!" Linnie gritted his teeth and clasped his hands tightly.

"Let me go, Linnie! Can you bear to watch Clara being killed by those iron lumps?" Tabak struggled.

"Then I can't let you go, otherwise Miss Clara's efforts will be in vain!" Linnie shouted.

At this moment, along with the sound of mechanical vibration coming from the ground, another familiar girl's voice driving a knight mecha fell from the sky and directly broke the machine that bound Clara.

"Don't hurt Clara while I'm here!"
