The Genshin Traveler in the World of Pirates

Chapter 20: 21. Terror of the Archon System



While the Hilichurls and Geo Slimes buried the CP6 agents, Kong approached their supply wagon.

This was a team dedicated to delivering tributes to the Celestial Dragons; the wagon was filled with valuable treasures.

Kong swung his sword, shattering the wagon. Countless gold, silver, and jewels spilled onto the ground.

He reached out to the scattered treasures.

"Recharge."

"Ding!!"

With a sharp sound, all the treasures vanished.

If the Genshin System's main driver is Paimon, then the Archon System's main driver is Kong, which perfectly aligns with the Genshin twins' setting.

The Archon System offers almost zero self-strength improvement, but it's a true "explosive troop" skill. As long as there's money, you have an inexhaustible supply of troops.

After absorbing this batch of treasure, Kong's balance reached 610 million points.

He closed his eyes and directly chose to summon a 100,000-rank force.

Black meteors streaked across the night sky, and 210 Fatui soldiers appeared in his consciousness, awaiting manifestation.

Electro Cicin Mage: 60!

Cryo Cicin Mage: 20!

Vanguard: Pyro Gun-wielding Soldiers: 20!

Vanguard: Geo Hammer-wielding Soldiers: 30!

Vanguard: Anemo Fist-wielding Vanguard: 20!

Vanguard: Electro Hammer-wielding Vanguard: 10!

Vanguard: Cryo Spear-wielding Guards: 15!

Vanguard: Hydro Spear-wielding Guards: 24!

Hilichurl Electrohammer: 5!

Hilichurl Geohammer: 5!

Hilichurl Cryohammer: 1!

"100,000-rank, summon!"

One thousand seven-element armored Geo Slimes, giant Hilichurl brutes, and three types of Hilichurls filled Kong's consciousness, waiting to be manifested; even 27 different types of Hilichurl Shamans were included.

"10,000-rank, summon!"

Twenty thousand Hilichurl brutes, and numerous medium-sized Slimes densely packed behind those phantoms.

"Finally, 1,000-rank... summon!"

The lowest-ranked ordinary Hilichurls, and Slime cubs without any combat ability, made up the majority of the formation, a total of ten thousand.

The wagon's treasure, worth 610 million, had been completely converted into Kong's combat power, ready to deploy at any moment.

When his summoning ended, the debt collector arrived at his side.

"Sir, the situation in the south has been resolved. It wasn't treasure, but slaves. I've arranged for the Hilichurls to hide the children outside. The two Electro Cicin Mages are constructing flight runes."

This ten-million-rank general was summoned using the last bit of bounty left from Kaeya's side. A single soul summon yielded a debt collector skilled in stealth – it seemed like even fate was on Kong's side.

"How many slaves are in the city?"

The debt collector bowed his head.

"Forgive me, sir. There are too many strong individuals in the city. My stealth skills can't avoid their detection. To avoid alarming them, I couldn't investigate. However, I've had the two mages construct rune formations for the transfer of ten thousand people. While it can't achieve long-distance flight in a short time, using rocks as a base, a ten-thousand-meter glide is feasible."

"Ten thousand... should be enough. It's just that you will die."

The debt collector knelt on one knee.

"We, the soldiers of Snezhnaya, never fear death! Dying in battle is our honor!"

Kong looked at the debt collector. Although he had killed many in his past life to farm materials, seeing this person standing before him, devoting himself wholeheartedly, Kong felt a pang of reluctance.

"What... is your name?"

"From the moment I donned the Fatui mask, my name has been Debt Collector. Please, sir, do not worry. Our lives are constantly being eroded by the mask. From the moment we appear, we only have a month to live. Sir, to fight with all our strength and die in battle – that is the end we deserve. Please, sir, do not show pity."

"Is that the same for the Hilichurls?"

The debt collector nodded.

"They're like these Slimes; cursed, they won't live past a month."

As if hearing the conversation, a Hilichurl brute brandished his club.

"Vala Giya!! (Go fuck yourself!)"

The debt collector nodded.

"See? He admits it himself."

"Wa niu ji ka le!!! (I j#€×\! π!)"

"Yes, I've sensed your will, and I believe the sir will respect your choice."

Kong was puzzled. Although the Hilichurls also wore wooden masks, he felt that this Hilichurl was cursing in the most vulgar terms.

"You... understand Hilichurlian?"

"Indeed, sir. I studied it in Snezhnaya. Look, kuli jia!"

"Baga kara!! (Speak your mother's bird language!)"

The debt collector, seemingly unfazed, continued.

"Kuku ni la!"

"La ku bang ka!!! Fesi wa la wa la!! (Go to hell!! I can live a long time! Idiot!!)"

The debt collector turned to Kong.

"This Hilichurl says he's already dying and is willing to die for you, sir. Please, sir, do not disappoint his devotion."

"Bang bang!!"

The Hilichurl brute slammed his club on the ground in frustration.

"Ba ba, ka re la!! Sine kaka!! (Although I'm willing to die for you, sir, I'm not a short-lived ghost like you! I'll kill you!)"

The debt collector saluted respectfully.

"Your sincerity, sir, has been received."

"Asiba!!"

Kong's expression became even more bizarre.

"He's definitely cursing, right?!"

"No, no one understands Hilichurls better than me. This is their way of swearing allegiance."

"Arika ra! (Don't let me find the chance!)"

Kong asked.

"What did he say?"

"He said his name is Vorm."

"What a sunny name. Speaking of which, you haven't told me your name yet. Your previous name."

"Before... I don't quite remember. I think it was Balaru."

"Vorm, Balaru, I remember your names. No matter what happens in the future, you are the most important comrades in this battle of my life. I will always remember you."

"Wo ku ni ka la! (Go to hell!)"

"Thank you, sir. With your words, this life of mine has been worthwhile."

Kong looked at the sky.

"Hide yourselves for now. When the Electro Cicin Mages are finished, use the Geo Slimes to signal me, and we will launch our general attack!"

"Yes!"

"Wara jiri!"

With preparations complete, Kong walked towards Checkpoint 66. When he arrived, Chaton was already waiting at the gate.

"Kong, what's going on? Are the Revolutionary Army really coming?!"

Kong's face was serious.

"It was Paimon who got the information. You should have heard about the meeting between the remnants of the Pirate King and the leader of the Revolutionary Army in Loguetown. It's only because Paimon is young and seems innocent that she didn't attract their attention."

The uneasy feeling in Chaton's mind grew stronger.

"It's... not you who did this?"

A bitter smile touched Kong's lips.

"Big Brother, you know me. I wouldn't dare do something like that. To be honest, the reason I didn't take the waterway and came here was to see if I could find out something in advance, maybe grab some credit... I know it's a bit opportunistic, but who doesn't want to do something great...? Unfortunately, in the end, forget about credit, I was even humiliated by the Celestial Dragons... Ah, forget it. No matter what, we can't let anything happen to the Celestial Dragons, right?"

Kong's performance was genuine, perfectly portraying a boy with ambition, courage, and a slight fear of authority.

The doubts in Chaton's mind cleared up instantly.

So that's how it is. This kid knew the Revolutionary Army was coming and came to scout ahead. No wonder he came to this Buccar City alone.

The uneasy feeling before was because this kid was trying to get the credit.

Chaton relaxed. Kong grew up in the headquarters of the Marines, with a spotless record. If he wasn't a staunch supporter of the World Government, Sengoku wouldn't have taken him as a disciple. He had been overthinking.

He hit Kong good-naturedly.

"You kid... you didn't learn Sengoku's strength, but you learned half of his schemes. Don't go around showing off your half-baked schemes. Tell me earlier next time! Did you really think your Big Brother would steal your credit?"

Kong looked embarrassed.

"That's not what I meant... I just wanted to... prove myself."

"Cut it out. Don't you know your own abilities? Have you mastered all six powers? Do you have both types of Haki? Is your Devil Fruit fully developed? I'm speechless. This time, you're with me, don't run around. You'll get your share of credit. I didn't know you were such a careerist."

"Hehe...."

Chaton reported the patrol situation to headquarters again, mentioning that he had received Kong. Sengoku ordered them to station directly in Buccar City and remain vigilant. Permission had been granted, and Admiral Kizaru was also on his way.

Hanging up the phone, Chaton swallowed hard.

"Kong... are you sure the Revolutionary Army is really coming? If they don't come, Big Brother can't protect you. An Admiral is coming!"

Kong's heart tightened.

"Admiral? Who?"

"Admiral Kizaru!"

Kong's expression changed.

Kizaru? This... is he really here to help?
