Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

These tools were used to be useful, so they were kept, but now that they're no longer handy, they need to be disposed of.

"Alright, those guys will be coming in soon. Let's see what they're planning to do."

Having ascertained the general's attitude towards these evil gods, Su Feng felt much more at ease. After sensing wave after wave of powerful yet chaotic elements rushing into Teyvat, he temporarily severed his communication with the general and looked at the opened rift.

Then he saw the twisted monsters gradually appearing before him.

That was indeed a monster.

Pure elements, chaotic light energy, residual powers, tainted filth, and even forbidden forces are mixed together to form one enormous and hideous monster after another.

For a demon god, purity is a source of pride and glory.

Pure elemental power, pure authority—the power that is existence itself is what the demon gods have always been proud of. However, when the shadow of defeat looms over them, when they stray from the glory of justice in order to prolong their lives, their former glory fades away.

In order to survive, to preserve their last remaining possessions, and even to allow their last remaining people to barely survive, these evil gods, without exception, accepted the corrupted power and elements outside Teyvat.

And this is the root of their depravity.

Twisted power spread from the bodies of the evil gods, and the taboo from beyond the world quickly corrupted the ley lines and elements of this place. As the evil gods' writhing tentacles and ferocious pupils appeared, chaos gradually eroded the order of this place.

"..."

After sensing the relentless corruption these evil gods were exerting on Teyvat, Su Feng couldn't help but frown—this didn't seem like they were planning to follow the usual procedures.

"It seems these evil gods are preparing to fight for themselves. Tell your men to get ready; those demons will probably fight to the death as well."

Su Feng decisively told the general his judgment, and after looking at the current situation, the general also agreed.

"I understand. These losers have probably sensed the abnormality of the natural order and are preparing to betray it completely."

The evil gods' choice was not beyond Su Feng and the general's expectations. Tianli's inhuman behavior of using these losers as tools to absorb external elements would inevitably lead to betrayal after its own decline.

But no matter how inhumane the laws of nature may be, Inazuma would never choose to collude with these evil gods—without the protection of the laws of nature, mortals simply cannot survive in a world where the environment has changed so drastically.

Didn't you see how much even the Demon Gods had to pay to adapt to the environment of the Dark Sea? If fragile mortals were to enter it, how many of them could possibly survive?

The general didn't want to know that.

"Since we've already torn off all pretense of civility, it seems I don't need to hold back when I strike!"

"Controlling the force is still quite troublesome for me, so emptying it all at once is the most convenient option."

Su Feng didn't care who was right or wrong, and he never considered what kind of tragic wishes these evil gods had.

The only thing he needed to care about was what he needed to accomplish—now that he had accepted the Herrscher Core as payment, he had to do what he was supposed to do.

So, facing the evil gods who were constantly mobilizing their power and authority to fight against Teyvat, Su Feng stretched out his arms expressionlessly.

The Herrscher core within his body surged with immense power under his will, and with the eruption of authority and light, the entire sky instantly lost all its light.

Then, the wind and clouds surged, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Evil God's Methods and the Hunt Begins

When Su Feng activated the power of the two Herrscher cores without hesitation, the ocean was instantly torn apart from Teyvat by him.

The unbreakable wind became a cage, and the lightning, powerful enough to cleave the world, became a blade that annihilated everything. The evil gods who came from the dark sea became the first prey captured by this cage.

"yarrr!"

A roar beyond mortal comprehension erupted from the terrifying mouth of the evil gods. They were furious that they had been attacked the moment they entered Teyvat, and along with their anger, the chaos within them was also released.

They are using chaos brought from outside the world to disrupt the order here, and this is a relatively effective way for them to fight the Seven Gods that they have figured out over a long period of time.

The power of demons is itself a form of exploitation of the order of heavenly principles. If the order of heavenly principles is disrupted, it will be a huge weakening for demons under the heavenly principles.

After all, the evil gods were already weakened losers. If they didn't use some tricks, how could they possibly defeat the former victors when they were already weaker?

This method is indeed very effective when facing the Seven Gods. If a general were to face this situation, his strength would inevitably decline as a result. After all, even if one were to forcefully enter the Seven Gods, one could not escape the constraints of the natural order. It is inevitable that one would fall into weakness after the natural order is disrupted.

Of course, whether these evil gods can defeat the weakened general is another matter entirely.

However, this method of using chaos outside the world to limit opponents is almost useless when facing Su Feng.

After all, Su Feng is not a demon god under the command of Tianli.

Su Feng's power comes from the 'Cocoon'. If we trace it back further, it comes directly from the Imaginary Tree. It is a power of a higher level, so it is impossible for it to be weakened by the alien order outside of Teyvat.

Even so, Su Feng couldn't help but frown when faced with the chaotic order released by these evil gods.

Because this approach was so terrible, at least for Su Feng, it felt more like 'Lu Bu reborn'.

From some perspectives, the distinction between order and chaos is not always so obvious, but that is when viewed from the perspective of such a vast whole as the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and even the Sea of ​​Quanta. In such a massive system, there is not much difference between order and chaos as defined by mortals—because all of this itself evolved from these two unimaginable beings.

In their view, what mortals perceive as 'chaos' is simply another form of order.

But for mortals, and even for higher-level deities, order and chaos are entirely different.

Just as gravity, air, and water flow exist in most worlds, the phenomena caused by the flow of these similar rules are the order upon which mortals depend for their survival. However, in another world, completely different or even chaotic rules may bring about a completely different scene.

To understand it from a more fundamental perspective, the chaos that ordinary people talk about is actually an 'order' that they cannot live in or understand.

While beings of divine rank may not die due to changes in order, they are inevitably weakened. The reduction in strength and the loss of authority may be more serious for gods than death in a physical sense.

Therefore, a stable order will create a sense of dependence in the life that lives within it, and this dependence is extremely difficult to overcome or change.

Even beings like Ying and Kong, who roam freely in the starry sea, still need to gradually adapt to the new order and rules after entering a completely new world, which also requires a long time and effort.

Now that Su Feng has gradually become accustomed to Teyvat and its near-rules, his feeling when facing the ever-expanding 'alien order' of the evil gods is more like that of a normal person facing a murky puddle.

This small puddle posed no threat to him, but it was enough to make him, who had always only been in contact with clean water, feel disgusted and even resistant.

But it was merely resistance.

After all, the reason Su Feng was not used to it at first was simply because he had been in Teyvat since his birth and had never been in contact with other 'orders', so he naturally had feelings of resistance.

However, this resistance did not affect his strength. Moreover, Su Feng soon found himself able to tolerate the discomfort brought by this alien order.

Even so, he still showed extreme disgust when he saw these guys in front of him whose mere appearance was enough to cause serious mental pollution to mortals.

"If you're so ugly, don't come out and pollute other people's eyes. Don't you know that everyone's life is already difficult enough?"

Along with the angry voice, thousands of terrifying lightning bolts fell. In that instant, the lightning, falling like raindrops, illuminated the originally dark world as if it were daytime. The light force that fell with the lightning quickly began to correct the rules that were being constantly corrupted.

Although he had begun to gradually adapt to this alien order, Su Feng still chose to correct the rules here—mainly because of his instinctive resistance to an unfamiliar order, and by correcting the Teyvat order, he could also weaken the evil gods in front of him once again.

"yarrr!"

The ear-piercing roars echoed once again in the small space sealed off by Su Feng. The evil gods seemed somewhat flustered, not expecting that the corrupted rules would have little effect on Su Feng.

But knowing full well that they had no way out, the evil gods still chose to strike without hesitation.

Twisted lightning, murky black water, a frenzied will, and dark ashes...

All sorts of unimaginable attacks, controlled by the evil gods, poured towards Su Feng. Each attack contained powerful elemental force as well as a colder and more subtle form of corruption.

These evil gods may have known the gap between themselves and Su Feng, so they did not try to take Su Feng away in one go. Instead, they used their corrupted elemental power to consume and even corrupt Su Feng.

In their view, even the most powerful beings have their limits. With so many evil gods combined, they could wear down the opponent no matter what. Moreover, defending against such a massive amount of pollution is no easy task, which would inevitably exacerbate Su Feng's losses.

If Su Feng doesn't try to stop the pollution and just fights them to the death... that would be the best outcome. As long as Su Feng is corrupted, they can have an even more powerful partner.

If that's the case, then even a certain degree of casualties wouldn't be unacceptable.

However, these evil gods soon realized that they had been thinking far too well.

How could Su Feng not know what these guys were up to? But he looked at these guys who had no idea what was going on with utter contempt.

"Are you idiots so foolish from playing along with the Thunder Sisters? Do you really think that you losers could have survived this long on your own merits?"

Su Feng scoffed at these guys' ideas. Clearly, the lessons the Seven Gods taught them during the Demon God War were not profound enough. Even now, they still think they can suppress their opponents simply by having a numerical advantage.

How ignorant!

With a cold laugh, Su Feng waved his hand lightly, and a violent gust of wind appeared directly in front of him, blocking the filthy attack without missing a single detail. Then, within the filthy gust of wind, streaks of lightning suddenly flashed and completely annihilated everything.

Even the most stubborn filth can only temporarily dissipate under this thunder.

"If that's all you've got, you'd better just disappear from my sight as soon as possible, so I don't have to see you anymore."

Although Su Feng mocked the evil gods in front of him with an extremely contemptuous tone, his eyes revealed seriousness.

After all, no matter how weak these evil gods may seem, they are still evil gods. They still have some desperate methods. Moreover, the filth and chaos they bring are quite troublesome even for Su Feng. At least it is difficult for Su Feng to purify the filth brought by these evil gods. In battle, he can only choose to temporarily disperse it so that the opponent cannot use it for the time being.

But now was not the time to hesitate. With a wave of his hand, Su Feng created a lightsaber that was simultaneously surrounded by lightning and flowing wind. Before the evil god opposite him could react, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

"Tear!"

The next moment, Su Feng, who had disappeared from his original spot, appeared behind an octopus-type evil god that was as big as a small mountain.

Although the evil god, whose entire body was covered with various eyeballs, still spotted him immediately.

But even if the other party finds out, what can they do?

Su Feng merely swung his lightsaber lightly, and the wind and lightning suddenly extended along the arc of his swing. Even the chaotic rays of will emanating from the countless eyes of this ugly evil god were easily severed by the sharp attack.

When the lightning and wind struck him, they sliced ​​through his supposedly impenetrable defenses as easily as if they were submerged in water, splitting him in two.

Subsequently, elements filled with filth and madness were scattered across this vast sea, but the wind and lightning that spread along with the sword light easily dispersed it before the terrible pollution could spread further.

When the other evil gods finally reacted, all they saw was the enormous body of the evil god melting away like snowflakes, and Su Feng standing high in the sky, coldly holding a lightsaber and looking down contemptuously at the remaining evil gods.

Chapter Twenty-Three: In broad daylight, the evil god was utterly immoral!

An evil god was killed so easily.

Without any struggle or any decent resistance, it was easily split in two in Su Feng's hands. Even the resentment that should have remained for who knows how long was quickly suppressed by Su Feng's terrifyingly sharp wind and thunder.

Even all the evil gods present could feel that the wind and thunder left behind by Su Feng were purifying the lingering resentment after being suppressed and divided.

The mere existence of this evil god was enough to disrupt the order of a region, and a single glance was enough to drive mortals mad. If it were to unleash its full power, it could easily destroy a nation. Yet, it was dealt with as easily as a wisp of smoke.

Even the lingering resentment that might symbolize the final resentment of the demon god must be dealt with together?

No one could believe such a crazy thing. The evil gods could accept that they were no match for Su Feng—they were losers to begin with, and they were well aware of the enormous gap between themselves and the most powerful beings.

Even so, the strength Su Feng is currently displaying still exceeds the limits they could imagine.

This is even beyond the realm of common sense.

Some of the losers in the Liyue region even felt like they had encountered Morax again when he was firing at full power—no, even Morax didn't seem this outrageous.

If the Demon God's Regret were so easy to resolve, Teyvat wouldn't have so many problems.
