I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [137]

—Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli) enters the chat group—

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: Although it feels somewhat unusual, today I wish to introduce a newcomer to everyone.

[True Substance (Yukinoshita)]: A newcomer? Does this mean, aside from the last time with Miss Nana, you have another invitation available, Mr. Zhongli?

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: Indeed. Last time, I was invited by @Ryomen Sukuna to his world to assist with some matters. As a result of significantly reducing the slothful energy in his world, I received a new invitation slot.

[Hail to Emilia, the Monarch Candidate (Natsuki Subaru)]: Who is it?? Master Zhongli, can you introduce them?

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: This individual is from my world, a fellow Archon and adeptus. Their group name is… let me see… @Dust Archon.

[I Definitely Won’t Date My Sister (Kyousuke Kousaka)]: Another Archon? Are they as strong as you, Zhongli-sensei?

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: Not quite. They’re slightly weaker than me. However, you’ve visited my world and seen Archons in action. You should have some idea of their general power level.

[Dust Archon (Guizhong)]: So this is the Multiversal Group Chat you often mentioned, Zhongli. Truly remarkable.

[Angel Sweetheart (Puri Puri Prisoner)]: Welcome, new friend, to the group!

[Dust Archon (Guizhong)]: I feel as if I’ve suddenly comprehended so much. My perspective has never felt this elevated before. So, this is what you’ve seen and experienced, Zhongli?

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: That sensation is merely an illusion caused by the initial effects of the chat group. Upon joining, your consciousness temporarily detaches from our world before quickly falling back. During this brief window, you experience an inflated sense of omnipotence.

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: This effect is unique to someone at your current level of power—caught between worlds, so to speak. For someone like me, who has truly transcended worlds, such illusions don’t occur. And those weaker than you wouldn’t feel it either. Only individuals at your particular threshold are affected...

[Dust Archon (Guizhong)]: Uh, Zhongli, may I interrupt? Could you stop talking for a moment? As a newcomer, I’d like to chat with the others first. If you keep going, I’ll have to visit your room tonight for a private discussion.

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: ...Very well. I suppose I’ve said enough. You go ahead and chat. Once your curiosity wanes, we can meet later in the courtyard.

—Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli) exits the chat group—

[True Substance (Yukinoshita)]: Uh... Zhongli just left.

[I Definitely Won’t Date My Sister (Kyousuke Kousaka)]: Uh... Zhongli just left. +1

[Hail to Emilia, the Monarch Candidate (Natsuki Subaru)]: Uh... Zhongli just left. +1

[Hail to Emilia, the Monarch Candidate (Natsuki Subaru)]: Is the newcomer some super-powerful Archon? Even Zhongli-sensei seemed to retreat!

[Dust Archon (Guizhong)]: Oh, not at all. I’m nowhere near Zhongli’s level of strength. But... let’s say I happen to be someone he finds particularly challenging to deal with at the moment.

Hail to Emilia, the Monarch Candidate (Natsuki Subaru): I see, I see. (Folding his arms in an attempt to appear knowledgeable despite not understanding at all.)

[I Definitely Won’t Date My Sister (Kyousuke Kousaka)]: I see, I see. +1

[Reality’s Trash Game (Spider Girl)]: I see, I see. +1

[Dust Archon (Guizhong)]: Haha, you’re all quite amusing. This chat group is far more entertaining than I imagined. No wonder Zhongli invited me to join.

[Talentless Nana (Nana)]: This group really is super fun! Welcome aboard.

[Hail to Emilia, the Monarch Candidate (Natsuki Subaru)]: @Dust Archon, I didn’t dare ask earlier while Zhongli-sensei was around, but may I ask you a few questions now?

[Dust Archon (Guizhong)]: Hmm? Sure, go ahead. I’ll answer depending on my mood. But first, let me introduce myself briefly.

[Dust Archon (Guizhong)]: My name is Guizhong. I was once the Dust Archon of Liyue during the ancient times of Teyvat, guarding the northern reaches of Mt. Tianheng. I’ve only recently awakened from a long slumber, and I’m exploring this new world with fresh curiosity. So, go ahead and ask me anything.

[Hail to Emilia, the Monarch Candidate (Natsuki Subaru)]: My turn! My turn!

[Dreams Come True (Reimu Hakurei)]: My turn! My turn!!

[Hail to Emilia, the Monarch Candidate (Natsuki Subaru)]: It’s my round, so I’ll go first. Guizhong, what’s your relationship with Zhongli-sensei?

[Dust Archon (Guizhong)]: Oh? Sharp observation, young man. Hmm... if I had to summarize, I am currently pursuing your Master Zhongli. I wish for him to become my beloved.

[Talentless Nana (Nana)]: !!!! +1

[I Definitely Won’t Date My Sister (Kyousuke Kousaka)]: !!!! +1

[True Substance (Yukinoshita)]: So that’s why Zhongli seemed to avoid you? I remember him mentioning his late wife, Lady Qingyun of the title [Cloudsplitter]. Are you saying...

[Dust Archon (Guizhong)]: No, no, I’m not here to break up anyone’s relationship. I love Zhongli and also hold Qingyun in deep affection. I want them both!

[Talentless Nana (Nana)]: !!!! +1

[I Definitely Won’t Date My Sister (Kyousuke Kousaka)]: !!!! +1

[True Substance (Yukinoshita)]: !!!! +1

[Dust Archon (Guizhong)]: How could a god’s perspective on relationships be so narrow? How could love among gods be so simplistic? How could the affection of an Archon be so meager?

[Talentless Nana (Nana)]: This whole “Archon” title is starting to sound a bit strange. But whatever makes you happy, I guess.

[True Substance (Yukinoshita)]: Pardon me, I’m speechless. I’ll log off to process this. But still, welcome to the group, Guizhong... Archon.

[Hail to Emilia, the Monarch Candidate (Natsuki Subaru)]: Alright, I should log off too. I just finished dealing with one of the Three Great Beasts, and now I have to rush back to rescue Emilia. Not exactly a simple task. Best wishes, Guizhong Archon, may you achieve your desires.

[Ordinary Girl (Megumi Kato)]: Everyone seemed to be chatting so excitedly just now. What happened?

[Ordinary Girl (Megumi Kato)]: ...Hello? Is anyone there?

[Ordinary Girl (Megumi Kato)]: Hello~? Why did everyone suddenly stop talking?

[Ordinary Girl (Megumi Kato)]: So weird. Whatever, I’ll log off too.
