"T-That explains the terrifying energy the Almighty Dragonlord K'uhul Ajaw sensed from her!" Ajaw's mouth is agape.

"Just who on Teyvat is that maid?!" Kinich asked, as the mitachurl he is fighting went past him and charged to the bridge.

In fact, every each monster on the bridge charged towards her, all having their weapons raised or their fangs bearing down on Noelle.

Noelle raised her left hand, and on her palm, a golden ball of energy forms, and launches itself toward a lawachurl that leads the charge. The energy ball went inside it, and suddenly arcs of golden lasers shoot out from it's back, piercing through each of the charging attackers, but the abyss lector that previously attacked managed to dodge in time.

In an instant, the monsters that got hit by the lasers turned into stone, before crumbling into dust and geo particles, which went into the gem in the center of Noelle's chestplate.

"W-What just happened!? W-What is she!?" The lector trembles.

Noelle begins to levitate, her translucent geo wings fluttering once, as a soft wind blew past the battlefield, fanned from said wings.

All the Fatui soldiers who witnessed this fell down to her knees, the delusions powering their elemental weapons ceased to function after the shockwave coursed through the land. Whatever is inside that shockwave has disabled the delusions.

Elsewhere, a few minutes before, Ayaka and Nilou were both struggling as more hordes keep spawning from the pylon meteors' crash sites.

"Fighting all of these peons just by ourselves is pretty tough..." Ayaka complained, as she knelt down in exhaustion, reverting to human form.

"Where are the others, when you need them?" Nilou finished.

A sudden shockwave and a bright golden glow washed over the land, and when it dissipates, both of them then felt their energy restored.

"W-What was that just now!?" Nilou asked.

"T-That's the airheaded Maid... but this power... It's unbelievable!"

"Come on, Miss Ayaka... we can fight again..."

"You don't have to tell me the obvious..."

Both of them transformed back again into their arch-transcended forms, and charged at the hordes in front of them.

Back in the exterior of the stadium, Noelle's eyes darted toward the Flower-Feather Clan, Chasca's tribe's location. There she sees Chasca herself defending her step-sister Chuychu, a riftwolf lurking while Chasca is busy holding off against a couple of Abyss lectors.

Chuychu saw the riftwolf too late, and then...

CHOMP

Chuychu opened her eyes to see only her right hand was bit, but not just that. The fang that bit her pierced through Noelle's palm, leaving behind a gaping hole on it.

"Disappear."

A surge of geo energy then flowed from her bitten palm to the wolf, which then turned into stone, crumbled into dust and geo particles, which then healed her palm.

"Chuychu!" Chasca immediately went to her aid, as Noelle then took a step forward to face the lectors.

"W-We give! W-We'll retreat back--"

The two of them were cut short, as their bodies are cleaved in half with one swing from Noelle's greatsword.

"M-Maid-Knight, thank you--"

"Bring your sister home, and fast." Noelle said, her tone echoing through the air.

Chasca looked at her sister again, to see that the bite mark has injected a substantial amount of abyssal energy into Chuychu's body. At this time, Aether and Paimon reached them, and Aether tried to heal Chuychu as Chasca starts to break down at the fear of losing her. It was then when a specter of a man from her tribe appeared behind her, and bestowed her to become the 6th hero.

"Noelle... You are..."

"Aether... Please, help her."

Noelle then soared to the skies, as Aether stood there staring at her figure stopping a hundred feet above him.

"A-Aether, Paimon thinks that we really should bring Chasca to the stadium! Mualani and the others are waiting!"

Noelle headed to the lands that were once inhabited by Chasca's tribe, to see a literal sea of hilichurls, riftwolves and abyss mages as well as lectors approaching, but then halted their march as Noelle hovered over them.

At the same time, the fires at the stadium, the power of the Pyro Archon is reinvigorated, and a huge wave of energy shoots up to the sky, dispelling the abyssal rift above, and light returns to the land.

From where Noelle hovers, the sun is blaring behind her, as she raised two of her hands upwards, geo energy coursing from her horns, snaking it's way along her arms, and reach her hands, where a buildup of geo energy occurs.

Noelle's eyes focused on the abyssal meteor that landed in the middle of the sea of abyssal invaders, before she then lowered her hands, and casted them to the direction of the meteorite. At first it starts off as a laser hitting only the meteorite, but then the energy wave expands into a huge conical shape, which reduced any monsters in it's path into dust.

"You are too much. Let's settle this here." The pyro abyss lector who tried to burn her before suddenly floated out of a portal in front of Noelle.

He summons 3 rings of fire, trying to bind Noelle down in the air, only for Noelle to simply shove the rings away, shattering them.

"W-What about this, then!?"

A portal opens above the lector, and a huge ball of fire engulfs Noelle, and when the ashes settled, Noelle is seen raising her hands upwards, her wings shielded her from the fireball. The wings then spread back open, as the Lector then tried to charge at Noelle, with his flaming gauntlets, only for Noelle to slap him in the face, so hard that he is sent crashing down to the ground.

Noelle descended down, and the lector stood back up, before casting both of his hands forward, a cone of pyro blast then fired from both hands. However Noelle puts both of her hands over her chest, and the cone is absorbed into the gem on her chest plate.

"W-What!?"

Sensing a counterattack, the lector then erected a pyro shielding around him. Afterwards, Noelle casts her own hands forward, sickle shaped geo projectiles then shot out from them, and broke the shielding protecting the lector, and some hits him in the chest.

"Argh--!"

Still standing, the lector's vision blurs as his hand begins to turn into dust. However, he is then met with another wave of sickle shaped geo projectiles that directly hits him, and his body then turned to dust entirely.

Noelle turned her gaze back to the direction of the stadium, as she gave a small smile.

"It looks like the fighting is finally over."

When Noelle returned, Aether immediately ran toward her to hug her. Noelle reverted into human form the moment she returned the hug.

"Noelle! Y-You're alright!"

"I am indeed, Aether. I am indeed."

"But... What's with that form from before?"

"I do not know exactly, Aether. But, I did feel the purified abyss energy inside me suddenly skyrocket the moment before the transformation."

"I think I get it now." Keqing said, appearing with Lynette beside her.

"Hm?"

"My hypothesis turned out true. It is like the dragon from the world my true self dwelled before."

"Still, why did your form resemble that of Omega's? I mean, the horns, the wings... even the chest armor..."

"I think it is because I am not doing what I was originally supposed to do, but instead I am doing the opposite. Instead of having the power to destroy, I have the power to protect... But not just you, Aether..."

Silence filled the air.

"What am I fighting for, if it weren't to destroy Teyvat? What else do I protect aside from you, and the innocents? Because amongst the ones I protected, the Fatui soldiers were included."

"I do wonder what are you fighting for, as well, young maiden."

The group turned toward the direction of the new voice. A young-looking Natlanese girl with long white hair and blue eyes, clad in an interesting fashion, approaches Noelle.

"Pardon me, but we never met."

"My name is Citlali. Although, these lots tend to call me granny."

"Granny?" Noelle tilted her head to the side.

Then she remembered Xianyun, and Faruzan, although in Faruzan's case is that because she was trapped in an ancient domain for a hundred years, whilst not aging. And then there is Furina, who was cursed to stay in Focalors' image for 500 years, but because she transcended back, her being a mortal is now null.

"It really doesn't surprise me anymore, Miss Citlali."

"Miss?"

"Hm?"

"D-Did you just call me... Miss Citlali?"

Citlali's eyes became rather comical, as she then buried her face onto Noelle's shoulder as she gave her a hug.

"T-Thank goodness there is still someone who actually called me that!"

"Y-You're welcome?"

"Anyways, child. We are not finished yet. Before your arrival..."

As it turns out, the Lord of The Night, Yohualtecuhtin revealed that if Mavuika is to use the power of Ronova, she will have to sacrifice her own life later on. Noting this down, Noelle and Aether went on to speak with her, but not before Ororon stopped in front of the two.

"H-Hello." Ororon timidly greeted.

"Greetings, I am Noelle, knight of the Outlandish Traveler, Aether."

"I-I'm Ororon... Granny Citlali's proclaimed grandson." Ororon introduced, seemingly trying to copy Noelle's way of introducing one's name.

He coughed, before he said that he thanks Noelle for arriving to help, and is grateful that she spared his crops from being destroyed by her attacks. Afterwards, Citlali approaches him, and pulled him by the ear, as she needed to give him an earful for an act that he did behind her back earlier on.
