Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat

Chapter 536: Ch 536 : The choice to split into two groups

Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, feeling that familiar, heart-pounding sensation again...

Although the palm of his left hand didn’t sting, Su Yuan knew he had died once more...

He also realized that the most critical issue now was that he had no idea how many death rewinds he had gone through today.

Before, he didn’t know how many random rewinds there were per day, but now he didn’t even know which number death this was—it really was like a double-blind experiment.

Su Yuan looked at Aether, whose forehead was dotted with sweat, his expression tense and serious.

Su Yuan knew that Aether must have gathered some crucial information, and that he and everyone else just needed to follow his lead...

"Mama always says that unity is strength, so I agree with everyone’s opinion. We shouldn’t split up—let’s all take the same path together!" Klee said.

However, Aether immediately responded, "No!!! We need to discuss this matter again!!!"

"Traveler, have you discovered something new?" Hearing Aether say this, everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"The hints that Aji left us..." Aether took a deep breath and spoke each word carefully, "they are very likely true!"

"What???" Seeing Aether’s serious expression and hearing his solemn tone, everyone knew he wasn’t joking and expressed their disbelief.

"So this means that if we all move together, whether we take the left path or the right path, we will encounter a dead end?" Ningguang frowned slightly, her expression turning serious.

"But even if it’s a dead end, with our current strength, couldn’t we just force our way through?" Eula questioned.

"No... it’s different..." Aether said, a bit helplessly.

"If we all step into a path of death, we will encounter the Setekh Wenut and Ruin Serpent..."

"Setekh Wenut and Ruin Serpent?" Kujou Sara said confidently.

"Although these monsters are already powerful on their own, and with the support of the Spiral Abbys and Eerie power, they are indeed formidable..."

"But I still don’t think that alone, they could stop us from advancing."

"However, what if the number of Ruin Serpent and Setekh Wenut can multiply infinitely?" Aether said.

"First one of each, then two of each, then four, eight..."

"Don’t even talk about these powerful monsters—if even the most ordinary Slimes or Hilichurls could multiply endlessly, we wouldn’t be able to handle them at all..."

"After all, our energy is limited. Even if we enter a state of Eerie transformation, we still can’t maintain continuous, high-intensity combat..."

"So, does this mean we really have to split into two groups, just as Aji’s hint suggested?" Sigewinne asked.

"It seems that way..." Su Yuan said helplessly.

"But how we split into two groups actually requires a lot of consideration..."

"If we divide the numbers evenly, half on one side and half on the other, that’s splitting into two groups..."

"If we take one person and have them go alone while the rest take the other path, that’s also splitting into two groups..."

"Moreover, the most critical issue now is that if one of the two paths really is a path of death, then those who take the path of death might very well..."

Su Yuan ultimately couldn’t bring himself to finish that sentence...

Because based on what Aether just said, those who take the path of death could very likely face certain death...

"Su Yuan, don’t dwell on it..." Clorinde said, looking at him.

"Since we’ve all come to Mondstadt, fighting against the Eerie, we’ve long since come to terms with life and death..."

"Besides, moving forward always comes with bloodshed, and bloodshed represents sacrifice... In cruel battles, sacrifices are inevitable..."

"But..." Su Yuan said, unable to suppress his hesitation, "Even though I know my abilities are limited and I can’t protect or save everyone, deep down I still want to try..."

"It’s okay, Su Yuan. You’ve already done very well," Sigewinne said, reaching out to gently touch Su Yuan’s head, but realizing she wasn’t tall enough, she lightly patted the back of Su Yuan’s hand instead.

"So, ideally, what we need to consider now is which of the two paths is the path of life, and which is the path of death..."

Clorinde thought for a moment and continued, "Then, find the weakest fighter to take the path of death, and have the majority of the group take the path of life..."

Although everyone knew this seemed a bit cruel, they couldn’t deny that what Clorinde said represented the best and most ideal plan...

If we split the group evenly based on numbers and combat strength, it would undoubtedly mean losing half of our fighting power...

But if we let one person go alone, and that person ends up on the path of life while the main force takes the path of death, that would be an even worse scenario...

At this moment, Su Yuan suddenly noticed that everyone was instinctively looking in his direction and asking:

"Su Yuan, what do you think?"

"Which path is the path of life, and which is the path of death?"

Su Yuan felt a bit helpless.

How could he know?

Without the palm-tip hint on his left hand, he really didn’t know what to do...

"I don’t have a solid idea at the moment. Let’s see what Aether says," Su Yuan said, turning to look at Aether.

Aether’s expression was also serious.

After the previous two experiences, it was indeed impossible to tell which path was the path of life and which was the path of death...

"To be honest, I don’t know either. We can only take a gamble..." Aether said helplessly, waving his hand.

"In that case, let me be the one to go alone!"

At that moment, Jean stepped forward and spoke:

"First, my Eerie transformation is uncontrollable, so I can’t really provide much help to everyone..."

"And more importantly, I am the Acting Captain of the Mondstadt Knights. For a dangerous task like this, it’s best that I do it!"

"But Captain Jean, we still need you to command us!" Paimon said.

"Everyone in Mondstadt is waiting for you to come back!"

"Paimon, you don’t need to say more. At this point, I am the most suitable person for this task," Jean said with a slight smile.

"If I truly sacrifice myself, I want you all to carry on with my will!"

"Defeat Aji, and see if that Dark Night Hero really is Diluc!"
