Chapter 12: Mysterious Man, Abyss Order
Last time on Boboiboy x Genshin impact, after Boboiboy woke up from the coma. Lumine tells him what happened yesterday. Lumine meets two Fatui Harbingers and Zhongli, who turn out was Morax or Rex Lapis the whole time. Zhongli gives them the Gnosis due to their contract. Zhongli explained to Lumine and Paimon the reason why including his life in the past. The next day, the gang arrived at the Rite of Parting, they listened to Ningguang's speech about Rex Lapis. Oh, Ningguang and Keqing wanted to give him a reward after he defeated Osial. But he refused and gave it to Lumine so Lumine asked them for the missing person posters.
They saw Zhongli and they decided to talk to him. Zhongli told about himself and he revealed the story about Six beings even his relationship with Hang Kasaa
Right now, let's see how's the gang doing.
After 5 days of staying in Liyue. They decided to pay a visit back to Mondstadt. Oh yeah, about Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu. Quake, Thunderstorm, and Ice have already told them a secret about their life and many things that Boboiboy has been through after their hangout. So they decided to keep his secret, they even told Millelith Guards who were at Jade Chamber during Osial battle. Ganyu went out to tell others Adepti about him. Just like that, the Fatui won't know his secret
The Jade Chamber is destroyed by Supra's power because he doesn't notice the Jade Chamber behind him. So Quake has to pay her back by... teaching her how to summon the golem. And she isn't mad at him for destroying her Jade Chamber
At Mondstadt
The gang has arrived at Mondstadt, they were about to pay a visit to Knights of Favonius Headquarters
"Travelers, please, over here." Someone called them. It was Katheryne
"It has been a while since you joined the Adventurers' Guild. Are your adventures going smoothly?" Katheryne asked
"More companions would be nice..." Lumine said
"Hmm... is that so? Apart from your own skills, reliable teammates are also indispensable when adventuring. Another person to count on is always good, after all. But recruiting such dependable companions is no easy matter, is it?" Katheryne asked
"Yup, and it's even harder to get a guide as good as Paimon." Paimon said confident
"Ah, yes, I do have some information that may be of help to you..." Katheryne said then took out the journal
"Let me consult our records... Ah, there it is. There's been a certain blond stranger who arrived in Mondstadt lately, dressed in the most unusual clothes." Katheryne said
"Wait? Blond?... dresses in the most unusual clothes?..." Boboiboy described what she just said
"It feels like Paimon's heard this one before... W—wait— do you mean..." Paimon held her chin
"Could it be...?" Lumine said in hope
"Does that stranger's face look... anything like hers!?" Paimon pointed at Lumine
"Hmm? Like the Honorary Knight's? No, they couldn't look more different. This stranger is a very tall man, and even has an eyepatch..." Katheryne told them
"So, just some distant relative of Kaeya's, then..." Lumine said in disappointment as Boboiboy and Paimon looked at her in deadpanned
"Really? Why do you think he's related to Sir Kaeya?" Boboiboy said
"Well, I thought they were related because of their eyepatches." Lumine said
"Just because they wore eyepatches, that doesn't mean they are related. Just like last time, you were joking that Cyclone and Thunderstorm are related to Sir Kaeya and Diluc because they have similar personalities and color themes." Boboiboy said
"He's right! Eyepatches can't prove that you're related, anyway!" Paimon said
"That stranger declined the Guild's invitation, so I can't say that I know anything about the relationship between him and Mr. Kaeya. Nonetheless, you can look for him if you're interested. Perhaps he might accept your commission instead.
After all, it is not uncommon for some adventurers to not want to be limited by the Guild, but be happy to accept a fellow adventurer's requests. And should this stranger be a strong adventurer indeed, he would certainly be a big help on your journey." Katheryne told them
"But if he's already rejected the Guild..." Boboiboy said
"Sounds like a tough customer..." Lumine commented
"Please don't talk down on yourself like that. You are the Honorary Knights of the Knights of Favonius, after all. Your deeds are the stuff of song for all the bards in the city even now." Katheryne cheered them up
"Well, alright then. About that stranger..." Lumine asked
"Do you where he is?" Boboiboy asked
"Well, as to further news about him... You may want to ask Mr. Lawrence. He stands guard at the city gate, so he may know something about that stranger. I wish you every success, adventurer." Katheryne said as they nodded and went to Mondstadt's gate
They asked the knight named Lawrence about the blond man with an eyepatch. Well, he said that man was wandering all over Mondstadt, that's very sus of him so he decided to keep an eye on him but he lost that man quickly. He told them that the man was at Wagner's smithy and said something so they decided to gather more information from Wagner
They started asking Charles about the stranger
"What will it be? grape juice or apple cider?" Charles asked them
"Another day, another lack of alcoholic options..." Lumine compliment
"Excuse me Sir, have you seen a blond man who wears an eyepatch around here by any chance?" Boboiboy asked
"That I have. He comes here every night — just to drink, though. Doesn't order anything else. He even sometimes mixes his own drinks after he orders them. I don't know anything else about him, but from his selections and mixes, I'd say that he's quite the connoisseur." Charles told them
"And what's Master Diluc's opinion?" Paimon asked
Charles: Why, I just gave it to you — "quite the connoisseur."
"Investigating everything as always — guess that's Diluc for you..." Paimon held her chin to think
Charles: If you're looking for that gentleman, he ordered some new bottle of wine in advance yesterday, so he should be here today, too.
Charles: There's too many raucous patrons on the first floor, so if you want to wait, best to go to the second.
They go to the second floor of the tavern and wait on the seat by the railing as Charles told them
Boboiboy, Lumine and Paimon start waiting on the second floor...
Then someone enters the tavern
Charles: Ah, welcome sir. The wine that you previously ordered is here.
The gang looks down and sees the man
"He's really here!? Let's go downstairs and have a look." Paimon told them as they went to the first floor of the tavern and found the stranger
?: ...
"Hi, We're adventurers with the Adventurers' Guild." Lumine introduced
?: ...
"Hello Sir, how are you doing today? My friend and I Honorary Knights of Favonius..." Boboiboy told him
"Wow, he's got no intention of paying us any mind, huh..." Paimon told them
"So, uh, We're travelers..." Lumine told him
"Travelers... you say? Hmph. Why are you traveling?" the man asked them
"We're traveling because my friend here is looking for her lost relative." Boboiboy answered until the blonde man turned to the three with a blank look on his face. They can clearly see that half of his face looks like a mask covering his left face
?: ...
"Well, that's as good a reason as any... Sit down over there, then."
"So... guess we've broken the ice... What a weird guy." Paimon complimented as Boboiboy and Lumine sat on the opposite side of the stranger while Paimon floated beside them.
"Hmm. That little one beside you..." the man asked them
"Our best chum." Lumine answered
"Uh-huh, we're the best of friends!" Paimon said
"It's indeed a good thing to have someone accompany you on your travels. My name's Dainsleif. I suppose you have some business with me?" The man named Dainsleif introduced himself and asked them
"Well, we were hoping to invite you to adventure with us..." Lumine answered
Dainsleif: Sure.
"...Huh?" Three of them confused
'And he was so cold just a moment before... Paimon's got a baaaad feeling about this!' Paimon thought
"But I will require advance payment." Dainsleif told them
"P-payment, you say..." Lumine stuttered
"H-how much, Sir?" Boboiboy asked
"500 Mora, and three answered questions. The 500 is a one-time fee, and we'll settle the questions in a moment." Dainsleif told them
"That's... it?" Lumine asked in confusion
Dainsleif: That's it.
"Well, now Paimon's got a really bad feeling. That kind of compensation can't be right..." Paimon said
"Well, here's the 500 Mora..." Boboiboy put the bag of Mora on the table
"Ah, thank you. Now, as for my questions, I'd like you to answer them here and now..." Dainsleif said then took the bag
"Do I need to answer them all correctly?" Lumine asked
"The answer to a question says nothing about right and wrong. Only about differences in attitude. I only wish to know what your choices are. You need only answer." Dainsleif referred to Lumine
"Well, alright then." Lumine said
"Question one. The crisis Mondstadt faced was resolved by an alliance between yourself and that... Anemo Archon who calls himself Venti. Who, in your view, was the key to ending that crisis?" Dainsleif
"How did you know that Venti is an Archon?" Boboiboy asked as they looked at him in suspicion
"I know everything that I should. Haha... Well...? Answer the question." Dainsleif said
"The unity of Mondstadt's people gave us the victory.." Lumine answered
Dainsleif: Is that your answer? Hm... I see.
"Question number two. Rex Lapis, who has defended Liyue Harbor for millennia on end, used his Gnosis to lay down a Contract to End All Contracts, of which the stipulations are still unknown. Who do you think will defend Liyue Harbor in the future, now that they've lost their deity?" Dainsleif asked
"Everyone in Liyue Harbor." Lumine answered
"So that's your answer... I see. Now for my final question. This world has people who gained Visions, and those who did not. Which of the two do you think hold more importance in the eyes of the gods?" Dainsleif asked
"Perhaps... none of them do." Lumine answered
"So... this is your answer, then... I understand. As I thought... you really are similar to him."
"What do you mean, "him"?" Lumine raised an eyebrow in surprised Boboiboy as well. 'What does he mean by that?'
Dainsleif: ...
"I'll take that 500 Mora... and now I also understand your views on this world. As we agreed, you may now commission me. That said, I only take commissions related to the Abyss Order. Like you, I am currently on a journey. You intend to find your sibling, while I wish to oppose the Abyss." Dainsleif reffered to Lumine
"Well, we have met some Abyss Mages in the past..." Lumine said
"Ugh... Those creatures that serve the Abyss are the fangs and claws by which the Order spreads chaos in this world. I have come to Mondstadt this time while on the trail of an Abyss Herald..." Dainsleif told
"An Abyss Herald?" three of them asked
"An even more twisted Abyssal being, one that commands the Abyss Mages." Dainsleif in serious
"Come to think of it, since the Stormterror incident ended, we haven't..." Lumine said
"Ooh, that's right! We've just been fighting against the Fatui in Liyue, who are human too... We haven't encountered the non-human Abyss Order at all." Paimon added
"There's some reason behind that, I'm afraid. It's possible that they may have been under orders to avoid your path." Dainsleif said
"That does sound pretty dangerous... Maybe they're looking for a better time to ambush us or something..." Paimon suggested
"That won't be easy for them"
"They won't defeat us."
"Uh-huh! We're super-duper strong!" Paimon said in proud
'That manner... it's just like his.' Dainsleif thought as he looked at her then turned to Boboiboy 'And him... There is something off about him. I sense seven energy inside him. Come to think of it, there are rumors around Mondstadt and Liyue about a boy wielding seven elements. Is this him?'
"Well then, let's go see for ourselves, shall we? According to the leads I have on hand, the Abyss Order has re-infiltrated the Temple of the Falcon. Let's meet up at the temple. Perhaps your questions about the Abyss will be answered there." Dainsleif as they follow him
-Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Furina wants Chibi Boboiboy Water to pay attention to her but he is sleeping-
At the Temple of the Falcon
"This abandoned temple does bear some marks of the Abyss." Dainsleif said then whispered something "The Falcon of the West... though it can soar in the wind, it ultimately does naught but hover under the light of the gods..."
"What are you talking about?" Lumine asked
"Mm? Oh, it's nothing. Let's head inside." Dainsleif said as they enter the Abyssal Traces domain
-Enter the Abyssal Traces domain-
"The scent of the Abyss is getting stronger. It's not far now." Dainsleif told them
"Paimon wonders what the Abyss Heralds look like. Do they look something like the Abyss Mages?" Paimon asked in curious
"Let's head further in first. If we do see that creature, that'll spare me the explanation either way." Dainsleif said
-Timeskip to the end-
They keep walking at the end until they encounter two Abyss Mages (Fire and Water)
"Ahh Abyss Mages! Lumine, Boboiboy! Get them!" Paimon told them in fear
"Stay back, Dain. Let's handle this." Lumine pulled out her sword as Boboiboy started using his elemental powers "Elemental Power! Boboiboy Lightning!"
Abyss Mages then started casting the spells to attack them but
"Take this!" Lightning charged them with Lightning Speed and Lumine ran up to them
Lightning started slashing them around until their shield broke
After their shield broke, Lumine gave Pyro Mage a multiple slash with her sword. Pyro Mage was knocked out and disappeared
"You! How dare you!?" Hydro Mage summoned multiple bubbles to trap them but
"Lightning Blade Slash!" Lightning gave the Hydro Mage a final slash and it disappeared
"Just a few Abyss Mages? Seems like that Herald might have already left." Dainsleif said
"Could you tell us more about the Abyss Order?" Lumine asked
"What are they, Sir? I wanna know too." Boboiboy added
"The Abyss... It is chaos, and it is also destruction. It is a morass of inconceivable madness that encroaches upon this world's very foundations. That... is why even the Dragon of the East, a servant of a deity, was unable to resist its corrosive powers. And the creatures of the Abyss desire nothing less than the overthrow of a world ruled by the archons." Dainsleif explained
"You seem to know a lot about the Abyss, Dain." Paimon commented
"Haha, well, we do have... some history." Dainsleif said nervously then "I suppose that's as far as chit-chat goes. We should head to Wolvendom. Judging by the traces I'm following, their next appearance may be within the territory of that old wolf. Perhaps we may find our Abyss Herald there."
-Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Hang Kasa training Chibi Morax by throwing plates and Chibi Barbatos got hit on the stomach and the plate in his mouth for being too confident-
in Wolvendom to meet Dainsleif
"Well, we're in Wolvendom now. Think Dain's waiting for us up ahead? We should meet up with him quick, in case the wolves decide they don't like him." Paimon told them as they walked up to him and he whispered something
"Lord of Wolvendom, Great Wolf King of the North... Sharp of fang and keen of claw, and yet dwelling here only..."
"You know that wolf, Sir?" Boboiboy asked
"You familiar with it?" Lumine added
"No, nor does it know me. I only know these things because a previous traveling companion of mine once wanted to hear its story." Dainsleif told them then said "Alright, let's go see if that Abyss Herald has stopped by here."
"But where do we begin? ...Hmm, are you standing here because of these strange bonfires, Dain?" Paimon asked
"Indeed. See that, floating above the flames? It's an Abyssal spell. Knowing what I do of the Order's habits, they've probably left similar marks behind elsewhere. Let's have a look nearby." Dainsleif said as they started searching for clues related to the Abyss Order
Until the group except Dainsleif saw the bonfire surrounding Abyss letters along with hilichurls and Pyro Abyss Mage
"Do you think that those monsters by the bonfire are under the Abyss Order's control? Looks kinda scary... Let's beat 'em up first." Paimon said as they started fighting them
Some times later, they defeated hilichurls and an Abyss Mage then walked closer to the bonfire
"Phew! That's that. Let's go check out that bonfire." Paimon said
"Looks like this bonfire's also got something to do with the Abyss..." Paimon looked closer and then they continued searching for another clue. Until they found another bonfire
"And there's another one of those bonfire-spells! Looks like the Abyss really has been around here..." Paimon said as they investigated the bonfire. And suddenly, some enemies appeared and started attacking them
"Yikes! Where did these monsters pop out from? Let's clear them out, and quick!" Paimon yelped in fear
Meanwhile, after they defeated the enemies, they walked back to the spot where Dainsleif was. They started talking to Dainsleif
"Have you finished searching?" Dainsleif asked
"We found lots of signs of the Abyss Order..." Lumine told him
"I searched around these parts and found some signs myself. But they were left behind by Abyss Mages, and there was no deeper Abyssal power to them." Dainsleif said then continued "It seems that even an Abyss Herald would not wish to make trouble with the Wolf King of the North. We should leave as well. If there's anything praiseworthy about that old wolf, it's his territorial nature."
"But now we're out of leads. Are we going to have to give up?" Paimon asked
"No, there is one more place we can go. Let's get a move on, then. I'll wait for you at Stormterror's Lair." Dainsleif told them as they go to Stormterror's Lair
-Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Lisa and Chibi Ei are glaring at each other while Chibi Boboiboy Thunderstorm is shaking in fear because of their murderous auras-
to Stormterror's Lair-
They kept walking until they found Dainsleif, who's looking at the tower.
"I've heard about what happened to you during Mondstadt's crisis. When you came, this place was known as Stormterror's Lair. But I suppose that this place is more "lair" than "Stormterror" at this point. In fact, if my memory serves, this ruin has had largely nothing to do with that dragon for a long time. The first time I laid eyes upon the ruins of Old Mondstadt, the Dragon of the East had yet to fall, much less come to nest in this place." Dainsleif explained
"Huh? But Paimon remembers that Dvalin first got into trouble hundred of years ago..." Paimon confused
"Don't think too much about it. Do you remember the Light Actuators that once sealed this ruin?" Dainsleif asked as they nodded "If the Abyss Order is interested in this location, then they will not neglect those mechanisms. Let's go see what the situation is at those Light Actuators."
So they decided to go deeper into Stormterror's Lair to Light Actuators' location
Until they found some hilichurls and Hydro Abyss Mage
"Look, there are lots of monsters gathered over there!" Paimon pointed out as they started into a fighting stance. Lumine pulled out her sword
"Elemental Power! Boboiboy Fire!" Boboiboy changed to Fire. Fire covered his fists with fire
They ran up to them. The enemies noticed and started attacking
Lumine started using her Anemo, she gathered them in one place and released the attack "Windblade!" knocked hilichurls over
Fire jumped up and released his attack "Red-hot Flaming Fist!"
The fire fist caused some explode to hilichurl and they knocked out unconscious
The Hydro Mage started summoning more hilichurls along with Mitachurl
"Ah, there's more! Be careful, guys!" Paimon yelled in worry so the group started fighting back
Sometimes later, they defeated the hilichurls along with Abyss Mage
Fire changed back to Boboiboy as Dainsleif looked at him 'So the rumor was true. He is wielding seven elements... Just what are you?'
"So in the end, we still couldn't find that Abyss Herald. Bummer." Paimon said in disappointment
"It is quite a shame." Lumine said
"I wouldn't call not having to gaze upon such a creature a "shame," exactly. Still, I do believe that you will come across one eventually." Dainsleif said
"N—No... You're right. If it's a really powerful monster, it would be best to go around it..." Paimon said
"*sigh* How good it would be if all perils one encounters in their journeys could simply be solved by going around them." Dainsleif told them
"You seem to be familiar with journeys." Boboiboy said
"Speaking from experience, are we?" Lumine added
"Once upon a time, yes... I simply have the experience from adventuring together with that traveling companion." Dainsleif said
"Uh, you know, Dain, you keep talking about that person this, and that person that..." Paimon said in disbelief. The other two agreed with Paimon
"Where are they now, anyway?" Lumine asked
"He... *sigh* No longer travels." Dainsleif said which makes them more suspicion
"I'm afraid that traveling can be... too exhausting at times." Dainsleif said
"Oh, is that how it is... Well, why are you traveling alone, then?" Lumine asked
"I... still have some things left unfinished. Once they are done, I too will return home to rest." Dainsleif dodged the question
"Yup, and it's good to have a home to come back to, isn't it? We camp out a lot when we travel." Paimon said then turned to Lumine "Hey Lumine, once you find your sibling, we should find a place to stay too, shouldn't we?"
Paimon then started dreaming "Hmm... Mondstadt's Fisherman's Toast is pretty tasty, but Liyue's Wanmin Restaurant is great too..."
"Eh, either way, we should settle down in a place where there's good food!"
Lumine looked at her with a blank expression and Boboiboy laughed then gave her a thumb up "Hehehe. Terbaik(Awesome)"
"Getting a bit ahead of ourselves, I think..." Lumine said
"Home... Well, it won't be too late to think about where you stay once your journey reaches its end. While you're still traveling, you should..." Dainsleif said
Suddenly, Lumine started sensing out of nowhere as she turned around and looked up at the cliff.
Everyone looked at her
"What's wrong, Lumine?" Boboiboy asked
"...I sense something familiar. On that cliff." Lumine said then pointed in the direction
"Eh? What's familiar?" Paimon asked
"I felt it for a moment the previous time we came here, too..." Lumine told them
"A familiar feeling, you say? It could be someone you know well, or perhaps a monster." Dainsleif suggested
"Could it be... the Abyss?" Lumine said
"Whichever it is, we should see it for ourselves, and thus see clearly. We can reach the top of that cliff from over there. Let's go." Dainsleif said then left
Eventually, Lumine, Boboiboy, and Paimon used the Air Current to fly up to the cliff
Once they finally got to the top as Dainsleif spoke up.
"Can you still sense that familiar feeling that you spoke of earlier?" Dainsleif asked
"It's nearby." Lumine said as they looked around
"Are you sure you sense there is something around here, Lumine?" Boboiboy asked as she nodded "Of course, I sensed something familiar. It must be around here."
"But... it doesn't feel like there's anything around here. No monsters, no people, nothing." Paimon said
"Indeed, there doesn't seem to be anything strange about this place. It doesn't look any different from the last time I was here..." Dainsleif said as he looked around
""Last time,"?" Boboiboy asked
"You've been here before?" Lumine added
"My traveling companion brought me here on our previous journey." Dainsleif answered
"So, Dain, what about you? What's your favorite place?" Paimon asked
"Me? I... no longer remember. I merely followed my traveling companion around on that journey. That's all there was to it." Dainsleif said then he noticed something "...Hmm?"
Dainsleif walked over and saw the footprints
"A Ruin Guard's footprint... A Ruin Guard was wandering around here? No peace to be found, even for a single dandelion..." Dainsleif said
The three looked down to see dandelions on the ground until Lumine decided to examine them
Lumine suddenly remembers her and her brother's encounter with the Unknown God
"What's gotten into you? You were just spacing out!" Paimon worried
"This dandelion... reminds me of... I... could feel him." Lumine said
"Is it your brother?" Boboiboy asked
"But, how could that be... You only touched that dandelion for a second!" Paimon said
"Yes, the moment I touched it..." Lumine said
Dainsleif: ...
"Perhaps that dandelion bears some sort of "scent" that only you recognize. As for why... has it perhaps experienced something related to you?" Dainsleif said
"Uh, you're saying some real confusing stuff. Paimon doesn't get it at all..." Paimon said
"Regardless, I have to get to the bottom of th—!" Lumine said but got interrupted
"Do not rush. Vexation and anxiety are the enemy of rational thought. Your journey has only just begun, has it not? At least you now know that he is still on this world. At this time, the most important thing is the journey to find him itself." Dainsleif
"And I will find him." Lumine said
"Yes, and this is something you must keep in mind as the meaning behind your journey. May your find your kin at the end of that journey. Well then, let us part ways here for now." Dansleif said as he took a leave
"Eh? You're leaving? Already?" Paimon asked
"Only for now. Don't worry, we will meet again. After all... I did take 500 Mora... and those three answers you gave me." Dainsleif said then left
-A few days later and brought to you by Chibi Boboiboy and Chibi Lumine use fake names Bob and Lucy, they are here for a job interview at the biggest and the most elite company but it doesn't go well because of Childe-
After their adventures with Dainsleif, they decided to visit Liuye Harbor and went to Adventures' Guild to meet Katheryne but they met Ganyu and the girl named Lan. They are talking about something
"Yes, yes. They have the audacity to go after anything. The Seven, dragons, gods... no ancient artifacts that relates can escape their greedy ambitions. Still, this time is different... Who do they think they are going after the Abyss Orders treasures...?" Lan asked then noticed the three "Oh, Travelers, it's you."
"Huh? Ganyu, what are you doing here with Lan? Do you have a commission you need to post?" Paimon asked
"Hello, Lumine. And hello, Boboiboy. We were just discussing the Treasure Hoarders." Ganyu told them
"Yes, we were just saying how even the audacious Treasure Hoarders should know better than to mess with the Abyss — it's just too evil." Lan said
"But we recently received intel from the Ministry of Civil Affairs that two big-time Treasure Hoarders in Liyue and Mondstadt are planning some big joint operation." Ganyu said
""Two big-time Treasure Hoarders"?" three of them asked
"Yes, they're known as "Big Sis of the South" and "Raptor of the North."" Lan answered
"Ahh! Raptor! Paimon remembers he tried to run away from Amber in Mondstadt... But who is "Big Sis of the South"?" Paimon asked
"Does "Big Sis" mean she bosses people around?" Lumine commented
"Is she the "Boss" the Treasure Hoarders refer to?" Boboiboy asked
"You already know something then. I guess you must have crossed paths with the Treasure Hoarders many times before. You are correct. She is the head of the Treasure Hoarders in Liyue. As I understand it, the Treasure Hoarders all call her "Boss." Some say that the God of Thieves even bestowed a gift upon her for her exploits, making her the "Big Sis of the Gods." ...But that's probably just a wild rumor." Lan explained
"Anyway, the Treasure Hoarders discovered some previously unexplored ruins that the Abyss Order has been secretly guarding in the shadows. Despite how dangerous that makes it, all the Treasure Hoarders can think about is what kinds of treasure could be inside... They have already devised a plan: they will send out a decoy to divert the Abyss Order's forces away from the ruins, then send an expert thief inside to steal the treasure." Ganyu told them
"To this end, Big Sis and Raptor have reportedly recruited a certain "Grand Thief" from Fontaine..." Lan said
""Grand Thief"? That's quite an impressive-sounding title." Paimon commented
"Indeed. He is an extraordinary individual. The Grand Thief is highly respected in the Treasure Hoarders, in the same way that we adventurer's look up to great adventurers." Lan said
"Just like the famous adventurer, Alice?" Lumine said
"Ah, so you're familiar with the author of the Teyvat Travel Guide, then? Correct, the Grand Thief is someone as renowned as her." Lan said
"Just like the great adventurer, Stanley?" Lumine said
"Ah, you met the living legend himself while you were in Mondstadt? Correct, the Grand Thief is someone just as renowned as him." Lan said
"So, despite being relative big-timers in Liyue and Mondstadt, Big Sis and Raptor had to put in a lot of work to convince a thief of his status to come and personally oversee this operation." Lan said
"With the major changes in Liyue recently, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Millelith already have their hands full. They don't have time to investigate rumors about Treasure Hoarder activity. But anything related to the Abyss makes me feel like there is some unknown danger lurking beneath the surface. So, I decided to come to the Adventurers' Guild to post a commission." Ganyu told them
"Well, since I'm here..." Lumine said
"I understand the dangers of the Abyss." Boboiboy said
"Mm-hmmm! Leave this commission to us!" Paimon said
"Oh, thank you so much." Ganyu smiled
"Good to see this in the hands of a reliable Guild member. Well then, good luck. The Guild will take care of the details for this commission." Lan smiled too
-Timeskip brought to you by Zoro, who's lost at Inazuma, thinking this is the Land of Wano-
At Treasure Hoarders' location
Following the Treasure Hoarders' trail, you enter the ruins Ganyu and Lan spoke of.
They walked inside the ruins and they found the camp, which means Treasure Hoarders are here. They kept moving until they encountered some hilichurls so they took care of them.
They kept moving and they found some bubble traps. They have to dodge them to reach the depth of ruin
Once they reached there. They found the person, who was kneeling down?
"Th—This looks like a person! Could it be the Grand Thief?" Paimon said then noticed something strange
"Why is he in that position? Is he praying to something?" Paimon looked at him then they saw the statue
The Statue of Barbatos is upside down with chains around it. It seems holding some strange energy
Paimon: !?
Paimon: That's...
"A... Statue of the Seven!?" Boboiboy was shocked at this
"Some strange thing that I've never seen." Lumine commented, who's also shocked
"Wh—Why is this Statue of The Seven... hanging upside-down...? And the Statue's hands... Paimon remembers they are normally holding an orb, right? But, this statue is holding... What is that?" Paimon
"Uhh... Paimon has a really bad feeling about this... And the Grand Thief hasn't moved an inch. D—Do you think he's...?" Paimon approached the Grand Thief
"Um... hello...? Are you okay mister?" Paimon asked
Observe the "Grand Thief": (There's no reaction, nor any sign of breathing.)
"...H—He's dead. Paimon doesn't feel so good." Paimon said
"What a terrible place..." Lumine felt unease about this place
"How did he die...?" Boboiboy was still shocked as he looked at the strange energy 'What kind of energy is this? Is this Abyss Order's doing?'
"Let's get out of here, and fast! We should report back to Ganyu and Lan..." Paimon said as they were interrupted by something
The ground started shaking as the door closed and the floor is cracking
Paimon: Aaaah, now what!?
"We can't stay here. Quick, run!" Paimon said and they started finding another exit. They saw many bubbles so they dodged them. Once they reached to others room, they found someone
?: You cannot spy on the secrets of the Abyss.
?: You have come here, you have seen our secrets. For this, you must pay the price.
Abyss Herald: As a Herald, I will mete out your punishment.
"An Abyss Herald!?" Paimon said in fear
"The one Dain spoke of..." Boboiboy said
"The monster we were tracking with Dain..." Lumine added
"Dain... Dainsleif? Oh, I thought you were just a couple of pests that stumbled in here by mistake... So, you are with Dainsleif, that constant annoyance in our affairs... Did he send you here to die? His resistance against the Abyss has gone nowhere for a long time. There is nothing you can do to change the tide... The Abyss... is unstoppable!" Abyss Herald said as he started powering up
Paimon: What is this power...? Paimon's never seen it before...
Paimon: Careful, please don't get cocky...
Lumine pulled out her sword and Boboiboy started using his elements "Elemental Power! Boboiboy Earth!"
Abyss Herald started swinging his blades at them but they dodged aside
Lumine immediately swings her sword at his back. Herald grunts in pain and then raises both arms before unleashing a cross-shaped water projectile with his blades at Lumine but
"Earth Wall!" the wall from the ground started protecting Lumine
"You will not hurt her! Take this! Earth Punch!" Earth punched on the ground to send some earth from the ground to hit him
Herald dodged aside but Lumine immediately ran up to him and pushed him back with her Anemo element
Both of them kept fighting Abyss Herald until
"Enough!" Abyss Herald powered up and imbued himself with a powerful Hydro shield. After that, Herald started spinning himself along with blades towards both of them
"Hydro shield. Elemental Power! Boboiboy Ice!"
Herald started slashing the air numerous times with its blade and then unleashing 8 Hydro projectiles at them but they dodged them
"Ice Cannon!" Ice summoned and then shot out the block of ice
Herald quickly dodged it but failed. Herald covered with ice
"Now your chance, Lumine!" Ice told her as she ran up to Abyss Herald
But Abyss Herald broke out and blocked Lumine's sword. His shield is disabled and it seems he is getting weaker
"Lumine! Ice-" Ice was about to summon Ice Bow but Lumine held her hand down to tell him to stop
"Don't! Let me handle this fight! He is getting weaker!" Lumine said and then ran to Abyss Herald
They kept fighting until Lumine performed one last attack. Elemental Burst Geo
Lumine slammed her leg on the ground to create a shockwave and knocked Abyss Herald over
In the end, Abyss Herald is breathing heavily and held his injures
"This power... It seems familiar... Hmph...! I see... So, it's you... you are the one!" Abyss Herald referred to Lumine "In that case, I shall stay here no longer..."
The Abyss Herald summons a portal and disappears
"Whew... what a tough battle. Are you both okay? Such a strong enemy. Who knew the Abyss Order had monsters this powerful among them?" Paimon commented as Lumine is in thought
'It seemed to... know me.' Lumine thought
"Lumine?" Boboiboy called her as she snapped out of thought "What's wrong? Are you alright? You were spacing out."
"Huh? What is it? What are you thinking about?" Paimon asked her
"Nothing, let's just get out of here." Lumine shook her head
"Oh, right, yeah... We're near the exit now. Let's get outta this scary place before something even more dangerous shows up!" Paimon said as they left the ruins

Back to Earth
It's been a day since Boboiboy got kidnapped
"Boboiboy, my best friend." Gopal sobbed as he put the flowers in front of the picture frame of Boboiboy. And where the spotlight comes from
"I hope you rest well. Thank you for being my best friend. Right now, I have to pay all the debts that I owe Tok Aba." Gopal cried again. However, he was knocked on the head by Yaya and Ying "Ow do! Dey! That hurt!"
"Stop being drama!" Ying yelled at him
"Huh uh! Boboiboy is still alive! Only get kidnapped!" Yaya added
"*sigh* Such a drama queen." Fang said
"Dey! I know that!" Gopal glared at them
They are at Tok Aba's shop named Tok Aba and BoBoiBoy's Cocoa Shop
"That's Gopal to you. So how did he get kidnapped?" Tok Aba asked them in worry
"Well, Tok Aba. The story is after he defeated Retak'ka. He started feeling unconscious after using all the energy." Yaya told him
"That's right. He starts falling down. He was about to drop down to the lake but suddenly..." Ying added
"Suddenly the black and red cubes start taking away from him!" Gopal said as Hang Kasa's ears perked up after hearing it
"What are those?" Fang asked
"Did you just say black and red cubes? And they were taking Boboiboy away?" Hang Kasa asked as if he misheard
"Yes, Tok Kasa." Gopal conformed
"Do you know those?" Fang asked him
Hang Kasa started worrying and then whispered "What is she doing here? How can she get on Earth?" Hang Kasa walked slowly and then looked up at the sky
"Wait, she? You know who's kidnapped Boboiboy?" Yaya asked
"*sigh* Yes, I know who's kidnapped Boboiboy but I don't who she is. And I know where is Boboiboy right now." Hang Kasa told them, which made them gasped
"Eh. You know where my grandson is?" Tok Aba asked
"But how do you know where he is right now?" Fang asked him
"Of course, I know where is he. He's currently on the planet called Teyvat." Hang Kasa answered
"Teyvat?" everyone confused
"What kind of planet is that, Tok Kasa?" Gopal asked
"Hmph. I didn't want to tell you about this planet but I guess there was no choice to tell." Hang Kasa said then brought out the device. The hologram shows up of planet Teyvat
"Huh? What is this planet?" Yaya asked
"This is Teyvat?" Ying looked at it closer
"Why does it look like Earth?" Gopal confused
"This planet is called Teyvat, which is stored 7 elements." Hang Kasa said
"Eh? Like Earth?" Gopal said
"Yeah, but this is something else. This planet is very special and dangerous. On this planet, you can get and use 1 of 7 elemental powers like Boboiboy's." Hang Kasa revealed the shocking info
"Ehh!?"
"What!? Seven elements!?" Yaya and Ying said
"Are they like Boboiboy's Elemental Power!?" Fang asked him as if he had misheard
"Wow! Does that mean we can use any elements as we want!?" Gopal said excitedly as Hang Kasa looked at him deadpanned
"You are a greedy one, aren't you? To your questions except Gopal's, yes but almost because there is no light element." Hang Kasa answered
"Ehh? No light element?" Yaya confused
"Then what's the seventh element on this planet?" Ying asked
"Well, the Water and Ice elements are separate." Hang Kasa answered
"Tok Kasa, you dodged my question. You didn't answer it." Gopal annoyed
"*sigh* Kids these days. To your question, you can't use multiple elements at once. You only have 1. And also, they won't give you a Vision for freely." Hang Kasa said
"Vision?"
"Oh, I missed some details. On Teyvat, there are seven gods who hold each element. They also have their own nation. A Vision is an item bestowed by the gods to people on Teyvat who meet particular requirements. It grants the user elemental abilities based on the element of their given Vision Wielders of Visions are called allogenes, though this is not a widely known term, and they are believed to have a chance to ascend to Celestia and become gods themselves. So it is not free." Hang Kasa showed them each Vision in each element through the hologram
"Wow." All of them looked in awe
"But this planet is the perfect one for aliens to use elements for their gain. Because the Seven Gods are holding the powerful item known as Gnosis." Hang Kasa said
"Gnosis?"
"A Gnosis is an item used by The Seven to directly resonate with Celestia, and is proof of an archon's status as one of The Seven. These items are dangerous ones. They can be used freely if you know how to use them. Luckily, this planet isn't well-known. That's the reason why we didn't want to leak information about this." Hang Kasa told them
"It seems you know a lot about this planet. Have you visited there before?" Ochobot said
"Yes. we have been visited once. Me along with five original owners of the element. Except Retak'ka." Hang Kasa confirmed
"Huh? Only six of you? Is there a reason why?" Gopal asked
"We visit Teyvat because we want to know more about it. But when we spent some time there, one day we found out that our elemental energies were growing and felt like they were connected to Teyvat somehow. Before we even did some research but Retak'ka incident showed up so we had to stop him before he knew about it." Hang Kasa told them
"But how are you sure that Boboiboy on this planet?" Tok Aba asked
"... Remember the black and red cubes? I know her but I do not know who she is. We encountered her before we could leave Teyvat to stop Retak'ka. She showed up blocked our path and called herself "Sustainer of heavenly principles". We don't know If she was one of Celestia's gods. She started attacking us out of nowhere so we had to fight back. In the end, we escaped by stunning her with my Crystal Trident. We don't know why she attacked us. All we know is she must be after our elements."
"You said Boboiboy was captured by black and red cubes so it's 100 percent that he's on Teyvat." Hang Kasa told them
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to Teyvat!" Fang told the group as they (Yaya, Ying, Gopal, Ochobot) nodded "Yes!"
"That won't be easy for us to get there." Hang Kasa stopped them
"Teyvat is covered with the seal. We don't know who put the seal but we think it was her doing. Even you got close to Teyvat but it only ended up teleporting far away from it so none of you can get to that planet." Hang Kasa told them
"Ehh? Then how can you and the others get in if there was a seal?" Yaya asked
"We use a special power sphera called Portalbot!" Hang Kasa answered
"Portalbot?" Fang asked
"What kind of power sphera is that? We have never heard or seen it in the book." Ying added
"What does it do?" Gopal asked
"Portalbot has a very special power. It allows you to open the portal anywhere with ease. We use that power sphera to travel there." Hang Kasa answered
"Ehhhh... Why don't we use Ochobot's teleportation? They have the same power, right?" Gopal suggested
"Nonsense. They may look the same but it's different. Portalbot's power is far more advanced than Ochobot's teleportation. You can travel anywhere even if they are covered with a seal." Hang Kasa said then added
"But that power sphera. I have sent it away in power sphera's pod and not allow Retak'ka to get his hands on it. After I imprisoned him with crystal, I started my journey to search for that power sphera but there was nothing. I did put the tracker on the pod but Retak'ka destroyed it when he tried to stop the pod." Hang Kasa said
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's continue searching for that power sphera!" Fang said
"We will help you too!" Yaya said as Ying nodded "Yes count us in!"
"Ehhh? Should I join this mission?" Gopal asked nervously
"Yes, you should join! Don't you worry about Boboiboy!?" Ying yelled and Gopal argued back "Dey! Of course, I worry about Boboiboy!"
"We should inform TAPOPS of this. So the search team will help us." Fang advised
"I'm going too!" Ochobot said
"I wish you all safety for this mission." Tok Aba said
"Ok but first, let me send some intel to TAPOPS. I have already traveled to many planets so there are some that I haven't checked yet." Hang Kasa said as he sent some intel to TAPOPS
"Alright. Let's begin our journey!" Hang Kasa pointed at the sun
