Zhongli cross his arm and look straight into Aether soul

"I WILL HAVE ORDER!!!!!!"

Then a small meteor fall from the sky in high speed

"SHATTERED DARKROOM! " Aether point at the ground and a hollow geo bolder covers in

He made it larger then normal as even if the meteor is small, the impact it shall cause is still powerful

And he was absolutely correct, the meteor created a massive crater in the ground and it broke Aether boulder easily

Then in the mids of the dust, Zhongli gives Aether a SWIF KICK IN THE GUT FLYING HIM STRAIGHT TOWARD A MOUNTAIN

"FUCK!!!" YELLED by Aether by the immense pain cause by the backlash

If not for Aether holding Zhongli legs when he got kick He would have been in shambles by now

"Unplanned"

Then Zhongli pick up his spear and walk toward Aether

"Unwise"

He kick a few large bolder blocking his path while heading toward him

"Unintelligent "

He stand on top of Aether and grab him by his shirt

"and Untactical, your fight with me is plain foolish and clearly out of pure emotion"

Zhongli then lift Aether up in the sky with a single hand and his spear in another one

"... ah... You know, I thought that... Well. I really thought that.... AHEM! ... you know"

Said Aether slowly as he was bleeding out and is at the edge of death

"i could beat... You.. KHAK KHAK!!.. with my own strength.."

Then Aether reach to his pocket, Zhongli notice it and quickly SLAM HIM TO THE GROUND and STAB HIS SPEAR HARDLY INTO HIS STOMACH

"AHHHH!!!" screamed Aether from the pain

As Zhongli lifted up his leg, wanting to end him with a stomp on the head

Aether pulled out the item from his pocket and IMMEDIATELY A LARGE LIGHT APPEARS OUT

the backlash push even Zhongli away and blinded him from the light

"Paimon your right for once, this truly is a good idea " said Aether as he slowly giggles

Zhongli opens up his eyes, and in shock he saw Aether walking toward him, yet his arms and body are back in good condition

No, its better then before...

What is it that Aether is holding that's making him so powerful again?!

"wait is that?!" said Zhongli as he clenched his teeth

"you curious? Here take a look"

Then Aether showed him a Geo Gnosis in the palm of his hand, then while Zhongli watch in absolute shock

Aether ran in and SUCKER PUNCH THE ZHONGLI WITH A PUNCH

But this time Zhongli felt the backlash and flew back into a boulder, shattering it in pieces

"Now, lets go for round 2!"
