Chapter 38: This is not a threat, do you remember Klee's mother?
Jams unleashed his Haki, and his momentum not only didn't fall behind but even faintly surpassed Venti.
However, as time passed, Jams felt his mental state rapidly declining.
Having just woken up, he found himself feeling drowsy again.
"Indeed, there's always a price to pay when using Haki to suppress gods... If I could awaken the third stage of 'Divine Power,' perhaps the pressure wouldn't be so great," Jams thought to himself.
His mental state grew worse and worse, but he maintained a calm exterior, showing no signs of fatigue.
"Jams is truly remarkable..."
As Venti sensed the Haki emanating from Jams, he slowly opened his narrowed eyes, filled with astonishment.
From the moment he laid eyes on Jams yesterday, Venti knew he wasn't an ordinary person. He had already regarded Jams as a newly rising deity.
But this guy, Jams, who seemed to be a potential new god, was actually able to suppress him, the Anemo Archon who had lived for thousands of years. It was simply unbelievable!
Faced with such domineering momentum, Venti had to put away his playful thoughts and his gaze grew more serious.
"Jams, what wind has blown you to Mondstadt?"
"Who knows?"
Jams maintained a faint smile on his face, but his mental state deteriorated further. He felt dizzy and his ears were ringing, as if he could lose consciousness at any moment.
The power of the gods was terrifying indeed!
Just by using Haki to confront Venti for less than three minutes, Jams felt like he was being drained.
If this stalemate continued, Jams would undoubtedly be defeated.
But no matter what, Jams wouldn't back down!
When friends bring wine, the party can begin, and when jackals and wolves come, there's a shotgun waiting. If you want to suppress me with your momentum, then I'll face you head-on!
No one can show off in front of me, not even gods!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dark clouds above their heads grew thicker, and silver lightning dragons roared and tumbled within the clouds. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Jams and Venti locked eyes, their gaze filled with fighting spirit and excitement.
Come what may, I, Jams, won't yield, whether it's the god of wind or even the natural order itself!
"Hmm?"
Noelle, sitting on the grass, snapped out of her daze and gradually regained focus in her light green eyes. She looked puzzled at the thundering dark clouds in the sky.
Crack!
Silver lightning illuminated the land, and the entire Wine Lake reflected a pale light.
"What's happening? Is the sky falling!?"
Noelle rubbed her eyes. She had just spaced out for a moment, and now the sunny sky had turned into this ghostly scene?
"Jams... What... What are you guys doing?"
Noelle instinctively wanted to ask Jams about the situation but noticed that there was still a young man with a green hat and a green cloak standing in front of Jams.
Seeing this green-hatted young man, Noelle was slightly stunned. "Venti? When did you come? What's going on with you guys..."
Jams and Venti silently faced each other, creating dark clouds in the air. The tense atmosphere made Noelle's heart pound.
"Jams, are you bullying people again? Creating such a big commotion with a little carelessness, really."
Noelle scolded Jams while clearly trying to protect him.
"Noelle, this is between Wendy and me. You don't need to get involved," Jams said.
Jams knew that Noelle was standing up for him, and he felt a warm gesture in his heart. However, he didn't want Noelle to interfere.
Wendy was the Anemo Archon, someone Noelle couldn't handle.
"You guys..."
Wendy seemed surprised by Noelle's decisive choice to stand by Jams' side. Her emerald eyes flickered as she contemplated.
Just then, they heard voices from afar.
"Jams, Klee is here to play with you! Boom boom boom~"
"Jams, Wendy, are you two quarreling? Yesterday, you seemed so thrilled to see each other."
Klee had come out early in the morning with her cousin Barbara to find Jams and play.
"..."
Seeing Klee and Barbara, Wendy's aura gradually weakened, and her gaze wasn't as sharp as before.
It wasn't because she was considering Barbara and Klee's strength but rather because she didn't want to expose her own identity.
Swish!
Another graceful figure swiftly arrived between Jams and Wendy, pushing them apart. The voice was clear and sweet:
"First, never act on impulse!"
"Second, never tolerate any wrongdoing!"
"Third, I'll ensure fair and beautiful judgement for this duel!"
"Scout of the Knights of Favonius, Amber, reporting for duty! Hehe~"
"..."
Gasp!!!
An instant freeze in the atmosphere. Jams couldn't help but shiver and exhale a cold breath. "Gasp, Amber, are you trying to freeze me to death and then inherit my little Klee? Even Boruto is more passionate than you..."
"You can't say that! I'm clearly helping you. Ugh... Why are you laughing? I hate you!"
Amber, who had intended to make a handsome entrance, blushed on her pretty face, stomping her foot to reveal her girlish embarrassment.
Listening to Amber's scolding, Jams smiled and ruffled the head of this energetic girl. "But I'm still grateful that you showed up in time."
After speaking, Jams turned his head, raised an eyebrow at Wendy, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Earlier, it was only Noelle alone, and she was outnumbered. Jams didn't want to burden her.
But now, with Klee, Barbara, and Amber here, with so many people, Wendy would undoubtedly have reservations.
Being able to fight means nothing if you don't have influence and background in this world!
"Hey."
Jams bypassed Noelle and Amber, coming to Venti's side, and embraced his slender shoulder. He whispered in his ear, "Your Excellency Barbatos, don't you want your adorable people to be against you?"
"Besides, I heard that Klee's mother, Alice, is a formidable character. If something were to happen to Klee, does Mondstadt still want to exist?"
