Zhongli and Aether was greeted by the numours people, They all ran up to them.

"Aether! Mr. Zhongli! Thank goodness you two are alright" Aether chuckled nervously

"Well, It was great that i didnt faced the wrath of the Anemo Archon.." Aether says, "It would be a problem." Raiden Ei says

"You see, Barbatos is more powerful than us." Nahida spoke, causing for everyone to be shocked or suprised (not the archons)

"Wait really? How?" Aether asked, "I told you didnt i? An archons power comes in their peoples faith. In category, No one besides Barbatos has a church deticated to workship him. He has mostly over 50% of the populations faith in him." Nahida says

"I was expecting for the anemo archon to fight back when one of my habringers took his gnosis, I supppose not." The cyro archon says

"So, you would rather for me to fight back and kill La Signora?" A voice says with heavy footsteps. The ground trembles underneath, as the anemo archon faced the people infront of him

His clothes were ripped slightly, Blood scattered within his body and clothes. As he stared, He used his powers to trap every people besides Lunime in a barrier.

"Your..!" Lunime raised her sword and got into a fighting position, Making the corrupted archon laugh!

"Interesting way to great someone..Princess of the abyss order." He said coldly, "I dont have time for your mindless belittle chilish games, I'm merely here to see someone." Venti says

"If your here to see morax, Get out. He doesent want to see you." Lunime says, "Oh?" His laughter suddenly grew louder

"Funny to say that, Abyss princess. Let's not forget about how you've been craving for revange in Teyvat. That also includes my nation." He said as he went towards Lunime

"Stay where you are." She (Lunime) hissed, as the archon hummed. "Fiesty as ever. Hah, But like i said i do not have time for mindless games." Suddenly, chains were wrapped in Lunime's wrist and legs tightly

"Lunime! / Her highness!" Those who knew Lunime yelled in the barrier as venti glanced at the ones who yelled

(Ameria: Btw. He putted 3 barriers)

"It seems you have quite an auidiance. My dear." Venti commented, "But oh well."

He walked closer to lunime, Pulling her into his face

"If you wish to make your self my enemy. Remember this, Lunime. I am between the stars and the sky. The past and the future, Do you think i dont know anything? I know everything. Every single detail, i know the unknown god who took you, She's nothing compared to me. And your nothing compared to me in this world." Venti whispered, "Travelling through worlds to seek shelter is fun. Did he ever knew why?" He taunt as he stabbed lunime's chest

"Sleep well." Venti said merely as Lunime was knocked up, He walked towards were the trapped archon's were in.

"Having a little fun, Perhaps?" Venti asked, chuckling darkly as the Pyro Archon hissed angerily

"Let us go, Barbatos!" She (pyro archon) says as the anemo archon merely looked at her,

"Awhh.. complain all you want, But the fun have only just started." He said, as he turned to look at Morax

"Pft. Look at your state right now, Morax, feeling helpless? I remember how you used to throw mountains at me.. Fun memory, right!?" Venti chuckled

"Why would do this..?!" Aether screamed, When Venti turned to look where aether was residing in one of the barriers, He was shocked..

"Do you even want to know?" His body was cloaked in the darkness, His face was glicthing back and forth. A horn on his head, his wings spread widely

"I dont think you deserve to know." A smirk was on his face as he flew above the ground, "Let us meet in another tragedy." He said, smirk still ever present as he flew away. The barriers were now gone, When it did. They heard screams, ashes and fires began to form. It was clear to see that buildings are burning

They all ran, ran where the source of the flaming houses were.

As they arrived. Everyone in the village were screaming, some having black liquid type on their skin. Saying it was hurting too much, and some were attacking the other townspeople their eyes were glowing red unlike venti's whos magenta, they seemed to be glitching here and there

Aether gulped, seeing the scene before him.

"This is... really the start of the corruption."
