Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

The Serpent Demon appeared because of Suzuka Gozen. The simplest way to defeat the Serpent Demon is to kill Suzuka Gozen directly.

Similarly, Suzuka Gozen is well aware of her weakness to electricity, so she has always protected her fourth head. To harm her, one must face a coordinated attack from the other seven heads.

Rikuo tried it out alone, aiming straight for the fourth head. However, his intentions were quickly seen through by the Yamata no Orochi, and the remaining seven heads immediately went back to defend, spitting out rays from their mouths to protect the fourth head completely, leaving it no chance of breaking through.

Seven heads, seven rays shooting everywhere, forcefully pushed the Lu Sheng back.

"This is a bit tricky..."

He took a breath and tilted his head to look at Rosalyn.

"Hey, can you do something useful? Even just helping me keep a few leaders in check would be helpful."

Rosalyn glanced at him sideways. "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

After a brief silence, she said calmly, "At most two, but you have to promise to kill that bitch for me."

"Hehe, of course no problem. I'll slap her twice more for you, consider it a gift."

After they finished speaking, Rosalyn rushed in without hesitation and used every means to restrain the two snake heads for Lu Sheng.

At this moment, everyone else in Inazuma Castle also noticed Rikuo's behavior.

He tried to attack one of the snake heads, but was thwarted by the other snake heads and failed.

The motive is not hard to guess; the fact that the head was always protected must mean that it was the snake demon's weakness.

Ayaka Kamisato made a decisive judgment and commanded, "Everyone! Do everything you can to draw the snake demon's attention! Hold back the extra snake heads!"

Thomas, Yoomiya, Hayato, Hisaki Shinobu, Araki Ichito, and Yukiaki's group shouted in unison, "Understood!"

On the other side, the more combat-capable Fools squad also noticed something amiss and began desperately trying to draw the attention of the other snakeheads for Lord Fool.

A pink phantom flashed across the sky, and the goddess lazily grumbled, "Looks like you'll still need this priestess to lend you a hand~"

In the recent chaotic battle, Rikuo's creation could not withstand the wear and tear and was submerged in the tide of the hundred demons. The divine child naturally discovered the power hidden within the creation.

She has now acquired all the tails and her strength has returned to its peak.

True pupils revealed!

The divine child revealed his true form as a nine-tailed celestial fox and single-handedly ensnared the three heads of the serpent demon.

"Mr. Eight Greats..."

Kujo Sara stared blankly at the sky, her heart churning with a mix of emotions that tore her apart. Finally, she made up her mind, waved her hand, and shouted, "All troops, listen to my command! Attack the Serpent Demon!"

With multiple forces pulling in different directions, Orochi gradually became powerless.

Its operation became chaotic, with snake heads even colliding with each other.

This is the effect you want!

Rikuo seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, instantly flashing into the Yamata no Orochi's defenses, and came face to face with the serpent's head that had swallowed Suzuka Gozen, only a hundred meters away.

This time, there will be no situation where seven snake heads are simultaneously assisting in the defense.

Now! Immediately! Slay Suzuka Gozen!

Lu Sheng gripped his knife tightly and unleashed a lightning-fast attack on the fourth head of the Serpent Demon.

The Yamata no Orochi let out a sharp roar, disregarding the severe injuries suffered by the other snake heads, and returned to protect the fourth head.

The snake head, its eye gouged out, lunged at Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng smiled faintly, dodged with his agility, and used the snake head as a springboard to leap forward, arriving directly in front of the fourth snake head.

"Roar--!!!"

The snake's head opened its huge mouth, pouring out a massive amount of lightning rays that shot towards the land creature.

"Lei Gong help me!!!"

Lu Sheng raised his hand and summoned a bolt of Nine Heavens True Thunder, which collided with the snake demon's lightning ray.

The lightning strike utterly shattered the serpent demon's rays and pierced its body, causing it to convulse, tremble, and become paralyzed in place.

Lu Sheng lunged forward again, stepping on the snake demon's body and leaping up to the top of the snake's head.

His katana was already poised to strike, its light gleaming.

Dragon Slash!

This strike is unstoppable!

With a single slash, the serpent demon's fourth head was split in two from head to tail.

With a mournful cry of despair, Yamata no Orochi perished on the spot.

"Impossible! Impossible! I actually lost! How could I lose?! Why? Why did I lose even though I possess the Heart of God! This is unfair! Unfair!!"

Suzuka Gozen, falling from the sky, roared hysterically, venting her frustration.

She had tried her best, but this was still the outcome.

Why is he stronger than me, even though we're both time travelers? Why is everyone helping him?

"That doesn't count! Let's try again! I definitely won't lose this time!"

Suddenly, Lu Sheng flashed in front of her, grabbed the demon horn on her head, raised his hand, and slapped her beautiful face.

Snapped!

The world fell silent.

Suzuka Gozen's eyes widened, her lips slightly parted, and her pupils trembled.

Her face quickly turned red and swelled up like half a pig's head.

Lu Sheng's tone was icy cold, "Start over? Ha~ Do you think you're playing a game? There's no such thing as a do-over in life. If you don't fight hard, you'll be eliminated."

"You wouldn't dare kill me!" Suzuka Gozen suddenly snapped. "My master is Alice, and I'm backed by the Witches' Guild! If you kill me, they'll all know you're still alive! You killed Rhinedoth, one of the Eight Great Witches, and the others won't let it go so easily!"

"Heh...hahahahaha!" Lu Sheng suddenly laughed with relief.

"That's not surprising, that's not surprising at all. So you're from the Witch's Guild. No wonder I could smell a stench as soon as we met. It seems I wasn't overthinking it; it really fits my stereotype of your kind."

“Release me, and I can plead with the Witches’ Guild. My master loves me very much. As long as I ask, your past grievances with the Witches’ Guild can be wiped clean.” Suzuka Gozen continued, “In a way, aren’t you and I a perfect match? We’re both transmigrators. As long as we can cooperate, what can’t we do? When we rule the whole of Teyvat, you can be the emperor, and I can be the empress.”

Lu Sheng gasped, "How could you say something so shameless?"

“I’m telling the truth. A transmigrator living alone for a long time will definitely feel lonely. But it’s different for two people. Being a stranger in a foreign land, it’s not easy to meet someone with common interests. We can live together. That way, you won’t have to be chased by the witch anymore and live in constant fear.”

Suddenly, Suzuka Gozen felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She opened her mouth wide in disbelief and looked down.

Lu Sheng's hand ruthlessly pierced her chest, and blood stained her white dress. She felt her divine power constantly slipping away, and her strength dissipating at any moment.

The heart of God was extracted from Suzuka Gozen's body.

Finally... finally got it!

Lu Sheng's eyes shone with longing as he gazed intently at the Heart of God lying in his palm, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

"Why..."

Suzuka Gozen looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he would rather be an enemy of the entire Witch Association than live peacefully with her.

Rikuo glanced coldly at Suzuka Gozen, his mask slowly shrinking to reveal a handsome face. "The days of living in fear are over. With this, my life is in my own hands. I no longer have to be at the mercy of you witches. On the contrary, from this moment on, it's your turn to live in fear!"

"I don't care if anyone is watching what's happening in the dark. I'm putting this out there today! Anyone who wants to come looking for me, come on! I'll kill every single one of you! I was forced into hiding by your Witch Society before. From now on, I will relentlessly hunt down all members of your Witch Society until this cancer is completely eradicated from the world."

Suzuka Gozen stared at the face before her, a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

"It's not fun at all... Mom... I want to... go home..."

Suzuka Gozen died.

[Unknown forbidden knowledge has been transformed into forbidden knowledge points, gaining 10 forbidden knowledge points.]

Forbidden Shop: Level 2

[Item: Eight Extraordinary Techniques (Can be purchased repeatedly, 3 Forbidden Knowledge Points each time) – Eight ultimate cultivation techniques, possessing special abilities beyond ordinary comprehension, namely: Qi Body Source Flow, Spirit Binding and Commanding, Heavenly Talisman, Feng Hou Qi Men, Dual-Handed Techniques, Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, Six Treasuries Immortal Thief, and Great Luo Cave Observation.]

[Item: Echoing Insect (4 Taboo Knowledge Points) – A powerful Gu worm ranked among the top ten extraordinary Gu worms. It emits a sound, and anything that hears this sound and responds will become its servant. If the opponent's strength exceeds that of the Gu wielder, this Gu worm will be ineffective.]

[Item: Intermediate Gold Creation Technique (3 Forbidden Knowledge Points) - Strange alchemical knowledge from another world; mastering it allows you to create gold artifacts from the humus layer.]

[Item: Barrett M82A1 Sniper Rifle (2 Taboo Points) – Bro, give me a sniper rifle, today anyone who comes to the middle gate is dead.]

There are actually 10 points! A time traveler is a time traveler after all; he possesses far more forbidden knowledge than the native Rhinedoth of Teyvat.

Because it is knowledge from outside the world, all of Suzuka Gozen's knowledge was considered forbidden knowledge, and thus she received more points.

Unfortunately, the prices of the items sold by this unscrupulous merchant system have also increased, and these points are simply not enough to clear out the store.

If you have to make a choice, you can put the Barrett aside for now.

But there's no rush to use these points right now.

After digesting the forbidden knowledge, Lu Sheng immediately swallowed the Heart of God in his hand to avoid any unforeseen complications.

The lightning attribute skill level increased dramatically, breaking through from level 8 to level 9.

[Lightning attribute skill level has been increased, gaining a new skill: Thunder God's Dharma Image—temporarily transforms into a gigantic Dharma image to suppress all enemies. The higher the overall skill level, the more powerful the Dharma image.]

"Like the heavens and the earth?" That sounds incredibly grandiose, but it's unlikely to actually be three meters tall.

boom! ! !

Just as Riku was still deciphering the skill, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of Tenshukaku.

It's that beast, the stragglers, again.

In your previous life, you crashed into the World Tree; in this life, you crashed into the Heavenly Guardian Pavilion, right?

However, with the destruction of the castle tower, the illusion that Suzuka Gozen had set up to deceive Raiden Shogun was also destroyed.

Inside Inazuma Castle, everyone's pores stood on end involuntarily.

Feel!

The aura of the Grand Imperial Palace, the Lord of the Imperial Palace!

Amidst the dust, a face exuding both nobility and a chilling aura opened its eyes.

General Thunder has awakened.
