After its power was fully absorbed, the corpse was quickly dismantled by Su Han.
Some of it was kept. A portion was transported to the Knights of Favonius, prepared as a "bonus meal" for Kaeya and the others.
At this time, the knight in charge of the guard ran over. "Lord Pope, what should we do with the dragon's head?"
During the battle, Su Han had beheaded Ursa the Drake. Now the body had been divided, but the massive head was still untouched.
"Hm… it would be too much of a waste to just eat it," Su Han mused. "Do this: transport the head of Ursa the Drake into the city. It will be specially treated and mounted as a symbol for Mondstadt City. It will also serve as a warning to those who dare to invade. Anyone who wants to invade Mondstadt must pay the price!"
"Yes, Lord Pope!" The knight left, his heart pounding with excitement. Soon, a large team of men arrived to transport the dragon's head back to the city.
After dealing with the corpse, Su Han considered a problem: could he separate the powers stored within his Tessusaiga?
In the world of *InuYasha*, not every power that InuYasha absorbed was compatible with him. This led to Totosai splitting the powers, transferring the "Meidō Zangetsuha" technique to the Tenseiga.
In that case, could he transfer the "unneeded" powers from his own Tessusaiga?
At this thought, Su Han communicated with his sword spirit.
"Can you transfer the powers within the sword? For example, the ones I don't use. The Jiao-dragon and the evil dragon I absorbed before… can their abilities be moved to other weapons?"
Faced with its master's inquiry, the sword spirit quickly gave a result.
"It is possible, Master. The essence of Ursa the Drake has been devoured, but its techniques still remain. I can transfer that portion out."
"Will that affect you?"
"The impact will not be great. What I devoured was the essence from its flesh—its power core. The techniques that are transferred have no effect on me."
"I see."
Su Han roughly understood. Since that was the case, he would split off the powers of the Jiao-dragon and Ursa. This would be a good way to upgrade the strength of the others in the group.
As for the abilities of Ursa the Drake, Su Han decided to give them to the Pyro-aspected Rosalyne. Currently, neither Klee nor Hu Tao had a need for them. She was the perfect fit.
Returning to the city, Su Han asked Rosalyne, "What kind of weapon did you use in the past? A catalyst? Or something else?"
"I used a catalyst at first, then later changed to a whip. But the form of the weapon doesn't make a difference to me." Before becoming a Harbinger, Rosalyne had always used a catalyst. But later, she had grown to dislike such things and switched to a whip.
At her level of power, the shape of the weapon no longer mattered.
Su Han nodded. "Then I'll have a staff made for you. I will separate the power of Ursa the Drake into it. It should be ready in a few days."
"You're not keeping it for yourself?" Rosalyne was puzzled.
Su Han explained, "The *essence* of Ursa was absorbed by Tessusaiga. All that's left are its techniques and some residual power. I have the Wind Scar and the Backlash Wave, which is enough."
To be precise, the Qilin-Tessusaiga had an explosive and scorching effect. The Demon Dragon-Tessusaiga, aside from being sharper, didn't really add much. Rather than letting the Jiao-dragon and Ursa's powers clutter up the sword, it was better to split them off and create two new divine weapons.
Hearing that it wouldn't weaken Su Han's power, Rosalyne said no more.
...
In the afternoon, when the head of Ursa the Drake was mounted in front of the Anemo Archon statue, the citizens of Mondstadt all drew in a sharp, cold breath.
From a distance in the sky, they hadn't gotten a true sense of its scale. Now, facing the dragon head-on, they realized the head alone was massive, and terrifying.
"Such a powerful monster, and the Lord Pope cut off its head with a single slash. It's truly unbelievable!"
"Who could argue with that?"
"Let's see who dares to cause trouble in Mondstadt now! Hmph, our Pope is invincible!"
"Well said!"
With Ursa the Drake dead and Stormterror back to normal, Mondstadt's sense of unity was strengthened once again.
In the training yard, Eula, hearing that Su Han was returning to Liyue, frowned. "You're not coming back?"
For some reason, hearing this news, her heart felt an unfamiliar irritation. This routine—going on duty in the morning, then returning to cultivate with Su Han in the afternoon—had gradually become a habit. To suddenly hear he was leaving, Eula felt as if she had lost her motivation.
"How could I not come back? I just can't live here permanently. I still have my manor in Mondstadt, after all."
"Oh. Well, if you don't come back for a long time, I'll hunt you down in Liyue and take my 'vengeance'!" Hearing that he would still be back occasionally, Eula's mood returned to normal, and she even managed a joke.
Su Han smiled. "I welcome it. And besides, you've already learned the Sword Kinesis Art. When you're not on duty, you can always come to the Jade Chamber to find me."
"Hmph. How could I not be on duty? I don't know *which* guy gave the order, but we're doing a thorough investigation of all Fatui in Mondstadt. I probably won't have a moment's peace for the next two months."
Eula's pouting appearance was extremely cute, and it made Su Han laugh.
...
The next morning, Su Han left with Rosalyne and the others. Klee also returned to the adeptal abode to continue her cultivation.
Watching the group board the train, Jean's heart suddenly felt empty. Who knew when she would see him again.
The nearby Lisa chuckled. "What? That reluctant to part? He's been gone for half a day, and you're still not back to your senses."
"It's not that. It's just… I feel like I can't be without him anymore."
"In that case, you should train your subordinates well. Strive to find someone who can take over our positions, and then we can go out and be as carefree as we want," Lisa suggested.
Jean nodded with a smile. "That's what I should do." She had to work hard, train more people, and then she would have more time to cultivate, and to be with him.
The train's speed was very fast, and it arrived at Liyue Harbor in no time.
On the way, Su Han finally had time to check his rewards for the *Digimon* mission.
[Ding! Congratulations to member Lisa for completing the 4-star Multiverse Mission. As the Group Leader, this mission has generated an additional strategic reward: 20,000 Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations to member Lisa for completing the 4-star mission. As the Group Leader, this mission has generated the primary strategic asset: Tanemon.]
Tanemon]: A Digimon with a plant sprout growing from what looks like a germinating head.
[Hint]: This Digimon is a Plant-type. Its evolution speed will increase if it absorbs more sunlight.[Note]: A Digimon will walk a different path depending on its master.
[Special]: Can root itself in the earth to gain a camouflage effect.
"I didn't expect the reward for this mission to be Mimi's Digimon."
Su Han couldn't help but smile when he saw the reward.
Tanemon evolves into Palmon, and then into Togemon. Both of those stages are, frankly, quite ugly.
But once it reaches the Ultimate level, it's a completely different state. Not only can it fly, but it's also human-sized, and its techniques are both strange and flexible. Most importantly, its "beauty" stat is extremely high! It's a Fairy-type Digimon!
Su Han had originally thought he would get something of Etemon's, like his "tour bus." Now it seemed he was overthinking it.
Seeing the new Digimon, Agumon and Gatomon instantly started playing with it.
Rosalyne, looking at yet another strange Digimon, couldn't help but frown. "Where did this garlic bulb pop out from?"
Tanemon: "…"
Su Han burst out laughing, and Shenhe and the others also had to stifle their giggles. *To call it a garlic bulb, isn't that a bit much? Hahaha, but the comparison is quite vivid.*
After getting off the train, Su Han led the group back to the grotto-heaven in the Jade Chamber.
Looking at the world within, Rosalyne was amazed. "I didn't expect the adepti of Liyue to have such methods, to be able to use spatial power like this. How impressive."
Although her combat power was strong, she had very little involvement with space, because its power was just too profound.
At this moment, Keqing came to Su Han's side. She glanced at Rosalyne and then said to him, "The sea train has already been built for a certain distance. Do you want to go and see?"
"Of course!"
Rosalyne and the others had just arrived in Liyue and still had many things to do, so they didn't follow.
On the way, Keqing reported on the recent situation.
"The Treasure Hoarders have now completely turned over a new leaf. The ones who were unwilling, Lady Ningguang sent them to Jueyun Karst to excavate the mountains and train their bodies. And Hu Tao's murlocs are also growing very well. Not only have they laid eggs, but during this time, they've found two more mineral veins. We're really striking it rich."
Su Han was surprised. "They've laid eggs already? It's only been a few days."
"I don't really understand that part either. In any case, it was the result of a discussion between Albedo and Sucrose. They said that murlocs, as long as they are... *in heat*, will produce eggs. It probably has something to do with the Jiao-dragon meat they've been eating. Currently, they've laid twenty eggs. Sucrose has already injected all of them with the Jiao-dragon's genes, and Hu Tao is continuing to summon and find the next suitable batch."
Keqing was only responsible for collecting the intelligence. As for how they did it, she had no desire to know.
The two of them traveled together and soon arrived at the Liyue port. Another new coast had been built nearby. Using the floating technology, a station had been built directly.
Su Han looked out. Over the sea, a straight railway track appeared in the water, crossing the Guyun Stone Forest and heading straight for Mondstadt.
"The line can currently reach two places," Keqing said. "The first is Yaoguang Shoal in Mingyun Village, and the second is the Guyun Stone Forest."
"It can't go directly to Mondstadt?"
"Mm, for now, we can only do test runs. After a while, when it's more stable, Ningguang said she will open the line to Mondstadt. At that time, our voyage will be even shorter."
