Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"When they hit you with the head of a wooden dummy."

"So that's how it is. They changed the personnel at that time. I didn't even notice."

Aizen gave his evaluation again, and then unleashed a tremendous force that ripped apart the branches enveloping him.

"Unfortunately, it's useless."

"No, it was very useful. I have completed my attack."

Nasita stared intently at Aizen.

"Ok?"

Aizen frowned and noticed a small wooden splinter embedded in his chest. He hadn't even felt it before because the splinter was so small.

The thin splinter had already pierced his chest.

"Just because..."

puff-

Before he could finish speaking, a large number of wooden spikes suddenly emerged from Aizen's body, piercing through him.

His entire body instantly became covered in blood.

"Cough-cough-"

Aizen, whose body was pierced by wooden spikes, coughed up a mouthful of blood. His entire body was covered in wooden spikes, and to outsiders, it looked as if a tree was growing out of his body, with branches sticking out from all parts of his body, which looked extremely terrifying.

"How could such a thing be...?"

"I'm very sorry, this is the first time I've used this attack method, and this is also my first battle."

Nashida stood beside Aizen, looking at his miserable state, and couldn't help but apologize.

"But for the sake of Sumeru, I have no choice but to ask you to fall."

Then Nasita took a deep breath.

Goodbye, my cowardice!

After saying that, the branches inside Aizen's body erupted again, and the huge branches completely burst Aizen's body apart.

266. Aizen reappears

"Did you win?"

"They must have... won, right?"

"I can move! I can move! We won! Lord Grass God won!"

The residents of Sumeru City witnessed Nashida defeat Aizen, and the immense pressure they had felt suddenly vanished.

"It's over! It's all over!"

The residents of Sumeru City got up from the ground one by one and cheered. They were glad that they had survived and that the Grass God had defeated the terrifying Aizen.

"Is it over?"

"Hmm, it should be over by now."

Elhesen and Seno were among them. Like the other desert people, they had been pinned to the ground, but now that the pressure was gone, they were finally able to stand up again.

Looking at the giant wooden figure still standing in the river outside Sumeru City, especially the petite human figure on the wooden figure, the two of them couldn't help but sigh.

"Is that the Grass God?"

"Yes, that is the Little Lucky Grass King."

"I never expected the Little Lucky Grass King to be so strong."

Having just completed the entire battle, they reflected on their experiences over the past few days and felt a sudden realization.

These past few days have been absolutely surreal.

First, he was framed and forced to bear the burden of being wanted. Then, while being wanted, he joined the desert faction and witnessed Aizen's rule over the desert. In particular, Elheisen even managed to become a chief steward in the desert. Although Seno did not join the desert or get any position, he got along very well with the mercenaries in the desert. Because he was relatively short, the desert mercenaries always treated Seno like someone's child and were willing to play with him.

Overall, Elhesen and Seno were doing quite well in the desert. Aizen didn't seem to have any intention of controlling them and gave them a lot of freedom. However, they had no way to resist Aizen's actions.

During this process, they discovered that Aizen did not kill indiscriminately. Whether it was conquering the desert or conquering the rainforest in the past two days, Aizen tried his best to minimize killing in order to achieve the best results. This made them have a different opinion of Aizen.

Even Elhesen had the thought that Aizen, as a god, wasn't so bad.

If Sumeru didn't have a Grass God, it would seem like a good idea to let Aizen rule Sumeru. At least Aizen's power would be guaranteed, and he would also be very principled in his actions. It wouldn't be a loss to have such a person as the god of Sumeru. It's just that I would have to give up my position as the Grand Steward. I don't want to sit in this position of Grand Steward and be busy with everything all the time.

However, this idea completely disappeared after Aizen revealed his true purpose.

Sure enough, his intuition was right. This Aizen was suspicious. The reason why this kind of person tried to minimize human casualties was not to protect humanity, but simply to prevent too many humans from dying before he could conduct his experiments.

"Fortunately, there is the Grass God."

"Indeed, thankfully there is the Grass God."

"But now that Aizen's problem is solved, what do we do?"

El-Hysen couldn't help but ask Seno.

"What do you mean?"

Sino asked, puzzled.

"We're both wanted criminals now."

"But weren't those all made by Aizen?"

“We can say it was Aizen who did it, but do you think anyone else would believe that, especially since the two of us even joined the desert people in attacking the rainforest?”

Aizen's crisis was resolved, but his own crisis gave Elhesen a headache. His current identity was not that of a scribe of the Order of the Church, but the Grand Steward of the Las Noches, a desert tribe. He was second only to the leader in the desert and was practically a great sage of the desert.

Although he didn't want to do it, the fact is he did. He helped Aizen manage the desert tribe and even did a lot of other things. With this identity, he'll probably have a hard time in Sumeru from now on. What a headache.

"Now that you mention it, it seems I'm in trouble too, because [Sino] killed the Great Sage."

Only two people know the whole story of how the Great Sage was killed: one is Seno, and the other is Elhesen. Elhesen is in dire straits himself and naturally cannot help Seno prove that he did not kill the Great Sage, which puts Seno in a difficult position.

"Tsk, this is getting troublesome."

Upon realizing this, Sino couldn't help but cover his forehead, unsure of what to say.

The two people were having headaches, but the Sumeru people didn't have time to worry about them for the time being, because they were currently in a good mood.

"Long live the Little Grass God!"

"Little Lucky Grass King! My proud faith!"

The Sumeru people were all cheering towards the giant wooden figure in the river.

Of course, the doctor was not among the cheering crowd.

The doctor also got up from the ground, but he was not happy. He frowned as he looked at the huge wooden figure in the river and the huge Takemikazuchi next to it.

"No, that's not how it works after a demon god dies. After a demon god dies in battle, his power should be unleashed! And this Takemikazuchi still exists!"

No sooner had the doctor finished speaking than the immense pressure descended from the sky once more, forcing everyone in Sumeru City, who had been rejoicing, to collapse to the ground again.

"Wha...what happened?"

Everyone was terrified again. The pressure was far greater than before, incomparable! This time, they even found it difficult to breathe.

"What an interesting sight to witness, a tiny god."

Aizen, who had just been killed, reappeared on the wooden doll. However, this time, he appeared directly in front of Nashida. Although he had just been killed, he was now completely unharmed.

Nasita clapped her hands in preparation for an attack, but unfortunately, before she could make a move, Aizen grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the wooden dummy.

The wooden figure sensed that Aizen was attacking its master, turned around, and swung its massive fist to attack Aizen.

However, Aizen sliced ​​it in half with a single sword strike, along with the wooden dragon wrapped around the wooden doll.

"How... could it be..."

Nasita stared in shock at the wooden figure that had been cut open. Just now, when fighting Takemikazuchi, the wooden figure and the wooden dragon could clearly withstand the attack, but now Takemikazuchi didn't move. Instead, he easily cut the wooden figure and the wooden dragon apart with a katana.

"A little bit of playfulness seems to have given you some confidence, but unfortunately, useless confidence will only make you arrogant and thus weak."

Aizen held Nashida in one hand and Enma in the other, a gentle smile on his face.

"Alright, that's enough of our playful banter. I need to finish my experiment now."

The red ring reappeared, enveloping the entire city of Sumeru, and the red light instantly filled the entire city!

267. I will stand atop the heavens for the third time!

The speed at which the situation turned around exceeded everyone's expectations.

Just when they all thought Kusagakure had won the battle and was becoming relaxed, the slain Aizen reappeared, once again plunging them into despair.

Among them, the desert people are the most desperate.

They were collected by Aizen and used as test subjects. They were finally rescued by the Grass God. They thought that although they had offended the Grass God, at least they could live. Moreover, the history of the Red King was that he sacrificed himself and died. In fact, the desert was saved by the Great Tree King. The desert people did not remember the good things about the Great Tree King. Now they were thinking about conquering the rainforest.

The two consecutive betrayals of the Grass God made them feel extremely ashamed, and they felt that whatever punishment the Grass God might give them afterward would be justified.

Just when they finally saw a glimmer of hope, Aizen reappeared, leaving them utterly hopeless.

"I knew you wouldn't die so easily, hahahaha."

The doctor was pinned to the ground. Compared to the others, he was much more relaxed, at least he could speak normally. He felt an even more terrifying pressure on his body than before, and even laughed happily.

"You're just like me. I can sense it. You and I both crave more of the unknown. Although I don't know exactly what your abilities are, it's impossible for you to die so easily! Now the facts prove my guess was right, hahaha!"

Despite facing the threat of death, the doctor was completely unconcerned, showing no concern that he might become part of an experiment and die.

"Alright, that's enough playing around."

Aizen, with one hand gripping Narcida's neck, looked towards Sumeru Castle. His right hand sheathed the Yamato and extended it towards the castle. As he moved his right hand, the red ring surrounding Sumeru Castle began to spread, and a complex pattern appeared below the castle. If viewed from directly above Sumeru Castle, the pattern would be identical to the human alchemy pattern from Fullmetal Alchemist.

"Farewell, humans of Sumeru. You brought me much joy during this time, and I will remember you in the years to come."

As he spoke, Aizen clenched his right hand.

Everyone in the city of Sumeru felt their consciousness beginning to blur.

"no, do not want..."

"I don't want to die..."

"help me..."
