Kapitel 130: Chapter 130

Aether felt as if his head had been struck by a hammer, leaving him dizzy.

What's going on? My sister has a man? And he's also a ridiculously strong fifth descendant?

When did this happen? Why don't I know anything?

Aether wasn't feeling well at all. No, he wasn't well even before this. Now, it had only gotten worse, and his mental state was starting to crumble.

What's Lumine's condition now? Has she been taken advantage of?

Takumi found it inexplicably amusing to see his 'uncle' on the verge of collapse.

"Don't worry, I just met her once and treated her to a meal. I haven't finished anything yet."

Hearing this, Aether felt exhausted. He wiped his forehead shakily, "You just met once..." The next moment, his eyes almost popped out.

Damn! He can read my mind!

Aether completely lost it. He hadn't even said those thoughts out loud. He wasn't weak either—he was at least stronger than the Seven Archons—but this person could even read his mind...

Thinking about Takumi's overwhelming power, Aether finally felt resigned.

There was no use panicking in a situation like this.

Gradually, his chaotic thoughts began to settle.

But the next moment, he couldn't help himself.

The other party patted his shoulder and spoke seriously.

"Your sister is so beautiful."

"Although we haven't gotten close yet, it would be a sin to let go of a woman whose personality matches mine so well and who has great potential. As they say, an elder brother is like a father, so, my uncle, I hope you understand."

Though Aether kept a calm face, internally he was cursing up a storm.

'Compatible personalities?'

He knew exactly how prideful his sister was. She was the most stubborn and arrogant person he had ever known, and she only grew more so as she got older.

She used to be sneaky, but now she was just straightforward.

Understand? Understand youdjka13#@...

You aren't really asking for my opinion at all.

As someone who had traveled to many worlds, Aether understood better than anyone that 'the weak are meat for the strong.' That was the basic principle of this world.

The will of the strong was absolute over the weak.

As the saying goes, 'There is no seat for the weak at the banquet of the strong.'

Takumi was speaking to him harmoniously, but in reality, Aether had no choice at all.

Now that the matter had grown so big, panicking served no purpose. All his current thoughts were transparent to the other party, and whatever Takumi wanted to do was entirely up to him.

Aether took a deep breath. "Okay, since you know me well, what do you want from me?"

Takumi smiled and clapped his hands. "My uncle is really smart. I like communicating with smart people."

Both Lumine and Aether, who could travel across countless worlds, were no fools. They were extremely clever. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to journey to Teyvat, let alone become the Prince of the Abyss, nor would they have thought to challenge Fanes.

"I know that my uncle became the Prince of the Abyss because he wanted to leave Teyvat. After all, Teyvat would eventually fall apart." Takumi looked directly at Aether, "You and Lumine could only remain here with Teyvat."

Aether nodded. "That's right." With someone who could read minds, there was no point in lying.

Takumi continued, "Fanes is dead, I now control Teyvat, and the world has become a plane world. I'm short on manpower. Why don't my uncle and Lumine stay and help build a grand and loving Teyvat family?"

Aether was speechless. You just want me and my sister to work for you. Why is your vision of Teyvat's loving family even more contemptible than my sister?

Takumi ignored Aether's inner frustration. "Of course, I wouldn't let you work for free. How about I give you the throne of the Supreme God?"

Aether was confused. The Supreme God? Does Teyvat even have such a thing? The Eternal Throne was already akin to the Supreme God here.

Are you trying to make a fool of me?

Takumi wasted no time and directly transmitted the 'World-Devouring Plan' and his 'Power to Annex Worlds' into Aether's mind as memories.

Aether was stunned for a moment, and then he began to digest the sudden influx of memories. He shifted from confusion to surprise, from surprise to horror, and finally, to awe.

"Gulp."

He looked at Takumi again, and his gaze changed to one of reverence and awe.

Takumi's power was so overwhelming that he could draw the Outer World beyond the "Tree and Sea" from another dimension to surround Teyvat, and annex it to continuously strengthen the Teyvat plane.

Such power was terrifying.

Even though Aether had traveled across countless worlds, he had never heard of such an existence.

This was the supreme being of the true 'Tree and Sea.'

Aether swallowed hard. Was this kind of secret and power something he was even allowed to know?

If he tried to escape after knowing this, would he be caught no matter where he went in the "Tree and Sea"?

No... If Takumi could pull in worlds from beyond dimensions, even escaping the 'Tree and Sea' wouldn't help.

With that realization, Aether instantly raised the white flag.

Surrender, surrender... The gap was simply too great, and resistance was futile.

Since he couldn't resist, he might as well submit.

Takumi nodded with satisfaction, seeing that Aether had fully understood. After all, Aether was smart and wouldn't act stubbornly like some hot-headed fool.

"Brother, you can rest easy and leave our sister to me. After all, she will be the Supreme God in the future."

After saying this, Takumi patted Aether's shoulder.

In his blueprint, aside from himself as the Creator, the hierarchy went from Supreme God to Lord God and then to lower-tier gods.

Aether internally sighed. Even if you tried to force Lumine, could I stop you?

However, if Teyvat continued to annex outer worlds, it would eventually become a world larger than even the great universe on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Moreover, it would become a pluralistic world composed of countless dimensions.

If enough worlds were annexed, Teyvat might truly become the third great force besides the 'Tree and Sea.'

Aether sighed again. Since he had fallen to this level, maybe this wasn't so bad. "Alright, although my words carry no weight with you, I still ask that you treat my sister with care.

"Actually, Lumine is very innocent and easily deceived."

Takumi chuckled. "Brother, you're worrying too much. Why would I force her? That would be boring. I'm asking you to assist me."

Aether sighed in relief. Even if Takumi was manipulative, a true strong man wouldn't break a promise.

Since he couldn't escape Takumi's grasp, it was better that his sister be captured normally. "Don't worry, Mr. Takumi, my sister is definitely easy to deceive.

Got it. Let me tell you, my sister..."

Sister, don't blame your brother. He has no choice. After all, it's better to be captured properly than by force, right?

Meanwhile, somewhere else.

Lumine, who was working in Liyue, suddenly sneezed.

"Oh, that's strange! Why do I feel like someone is plotting against me?"
