Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

Then what about all that I've done...?

The deepest pain comes from being forgotten, from having one's efforts completely negated.

But when he thought of the pain that had seeped into his bones and tormented him day and night for hundreds of years—the endless torment of swallowing the corrosive blood of the poisonous dragon Durin in order to protect this land—Dvalin's anger finally broke down the last barrier of reason.

I have endured this excruciating pain for hundreds of years!

For you! For Mondstadt!

The pain of being betrayed by one's closest and most trusted loved ones burns the soul far more intensely than the venom of Dulin.

I hate it so much!!!

A heart-wrenching roar that ripped through the sky finally erupted, no longer an inner torment, but transformed into tangible sound waves and violent wind elemental force, slamming down on the city it had once sworn to protect with its life!

I hate this endless pain and loneliness!

Since protecting others goes unremembered, and sacrifice is taken for granted or even feared, then... let this storm of anger sweep everything away!

At least this way... you'll be able to "see" me, right?

With such a desperate and insane thought, Dvalin gathered even more terrifying power and suddenly swooped down towards the center of Mondstadt!

In the heart of Mondstadt, on the terrace of the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

Acting leader Jyn Gunnhildr gripped her Windhawk sword tightly, staring intently at the massive, raging dragon shadow in the sky.

Beside her, Kaia, unusually, had put away his cynical smile, while Lisa's face was weary and solemn.

Amber gripped her bow tightly, her eyes filled with both fear of the dragon scourge and determination to protect her home.

"Commander, the evacuation of civilians is still underway, but its attack range is too large!"

A Knight of Favonius rushed in to report, his voice filled with anxiety.

Qin raised her hand to indicate that she understood.

Her gaze never left Tvalin.

She knew, of course, that it was no ordinary dragon. It was Dvalin, the Dragon of the East Wind, one of the "Guardians of the Four Winds," bound to Mondstadt and Lord Barbatos, the Aeolus, for thousands of years! A hero who once protected Mondstadt!

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, or what had made the East Wind Dragon, which had once protected them, so painful and violent, killing it was never an option that Jean considered.

That would not only be a betrayal of the alliance, but also a trampling on Mondstadt's history and faith.

"We must not kill Dvalin!"

The sound of the zither was clear and firm, reaching the ears of every core knight.

"It was once our guardian, and its current loss of control must have a hidden reason. Our top priority is to evacuate and protect the public to prevent further casualties!"

She took a deep breath and made the difficult decision.

"Try... to drive it away. Use the city's crossbows to aim at the airspace around it, creating noise and wind pressure, or attack the buildings next to it to guide it out of the city area! Never aim to kill it!"

In this moment of being unable to communicate or understand the other's pain, this is the only way that Jyn can think of that can both protect her people and avoid further harming Dvalin.

The knights obeyed and departed.

Kaiya looked at Qin's tense profile and asked in a low voice, "What if... what if it refuses to leave?"

Qin remained silent for a moment, her fingers gripping the sword turning slightly white from the force.

"Then...we can only try our best to stall and buy time until...we find a better way, or..."

Or wait for a miracle to happen.

She didn't say those words aloud, but her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the direction of the Wind God Square, a barely perceptible hint of longing flashing in her eyes.

Lord Barbatos... if you can still hear the prayers of your people... if you still have eyes for this land... please... guide us.

In the air, Tvalin's agonizing roar shook the heavens and the earth once more, and another devastating gust of wind crashed down on the city.

"Commander! There are still civilians there who haven't been evacuated!"

Just as the violent wind was about to engulf the panicked people in the narrow alley!

A streak of azure light, like a meteor tearing through the dark clouds, descended from the sky at an astonishing speed, striking precisely between Feng Xi and the people!

The impact created a shockwave. As the dust settled, a figure was seen kneeling on the ground in a classic superhero pose, one fist pressed against the ground, head bowed, black hair dancing in the lingering air currents.

The terrifying wind, powerful enough to shatter metal and break stone, vanished silently like a gentle sheep the instant it touched the invisible barrier in front of him, transforming into a soothing breeze that only lightly ruffled the hems of everyone's clothes.

"Am I late?"

The survivors stood frozen in place, dumbfounded.

"It's...it's Mr. Yichen!"

One of the Knights of Favonius recognized the newcomer and exclaimed in surprise.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the troupe felt a huge weight lifted from her heart and hurriedly ran over.

She looked at Yi Chen, who was still kneeling on the ground in a handsome pose, her concern tinged with a hint of doubt:

"Yichen! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Chen finally raised his head, revealing that familiar face tinged with a slightly awkward smile.

He looked at Qin, blinked, and said in a very honest, almost embarrassed tone, in a low voice:

"Um... Qin... didn't adjust her landing posture properly, and it seems like her kneecap... is shattered."

He tried to maintain his heroic dignity, but what he said instantly made the atmosphere somewhat comical.

"Could you... help me up? I'm a little unsteady on my feet."

He added that it was even a little pathetic.

Qin: “???”

The knights: "???"

Kaiya, who had just arrived, almost burst out laughing, and quickly covered it up with a cough.

Qin was both amused and exasperated. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was now at ease. She was both annoyed and amused, so she quickly stepped forward and reached out to support Yi Chen's arm to help him steady himself.

"You...you! Really..."

She didn't know what to say; the contrast between her appearance and what followed was just too great!

High in the sky, Dvalin, the Stormterror who was preparing for his next furious attack, clearly caught a glimpse of this abrupt and comical scene below.

Hearing Yi Chen's undisguised, even somewhat aggrieved, statement that "his kneecap is broken," Tvalin's massive body paused almost imperceptibly.

An extremely abrupt, almost laughing bubble inexplicably emerged from its overflowing grief and pain.

Where did this guy come from?

They put on quite a show, but... that's it?

It felt that its burning anger and hatred were interrupted for a moment by this absurd interlude, and it even felt a little... like laughing?

But Tvalin immediately realized something was wrong!

No! You can't laugh!

I am the vengeful dragon of the East Wind! A being that brings fear and destruction!

If I laugh now, all the momentum I've worked so hard to build will collapse!

So Dvalin forcibly suppressed his massive dragon face, forcing back the inappropriate smile, and even let out a deeper, more furious growl to cover it up, pretending that he was even angrier because of the interruption.

Chapter 2 This place is hell.

Just as Dvalin managed to suppress his almost broken smile and maintain his terrifying aura as a vengeful dragon, the guy below, rubbing his knee, suddenly looked up, pointed at him, and shouted:

"Hey! You laughed! You definitely laughed just now! Don't think I didn't see your wing twitch!"

Dvalin: "!!!" (Dragon wings subconsciously tucked in a little)

Before it could figure out how to refute, Yi Chen stroked his chin and looked it up and down.

"And look at your imposing and dashing appearance, with your scales, wings, and overall look..."

"Aren't you the legendary Dvalin, the Dragon of the East? Why are you attacking Mondstadt? Just to tear down your own base for fun?"

Dvalin's enormous dragon eyes suddenly contracted!

He...he recognizes me?

He actually knew I was Dvalin? And he even said I was...handsome?

An indescribable bitterness and grievance welled up in its heart, almost bringing tears to its dragon eyes.

Finally! Finally, there's someone who recognizes it and remembers who it is!

It longed to swoop down immediately, grab the black-haired youth, and pour out all its pain, loneliness, and forgotten anger from the past few centuries!

"Hey! Kid! I'm Dvalin!"

Its deep voice, tinged with excitement and barely suppressed grief, prepared to begin its accusation.

"Since you know my name, you should know what I am—"

"Oh, I get it!"

Yi Chen clapped his hands suddenly, revealing a wise expression that said "there is only one truth," directly interrupting Tvalin's prepared tragic opening remarks.

"You cowardly coward!"

They actually used evil magic to control the noble and majestic body of Dvalin, the Dragon of the East, to commit such despicable destruction against Mondstadt! Absolutely unforgivable!

Tvalin: "???"

Manipulation?! The body?!

I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!

Tvalin nearly coughed up blood and roared in anger.

"I am Tvalinbenlong!!!"

"I do not believe!"

Yi Chen answered decisively and without any hesitation.

In just a short while, his broken knee had fully recovered.

His entire body was enveloped in surging wind elemental energy, which slowly floated into the air, confronting Dvalin from afar.

As his emotions surged, the surrounding weather was also affected; the clouds became more turbulent, and lightning flashed faintly, creating an astonishing spectacle.

"Whoever you are, get out of Dvalin's body right now! Or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Yi Chen adopted an attack stance, appearing ready to rid the people of this scourge and save the "possessed" Dongfeng Dragon at the slightest provocation.

"I really am Dvalin!!!"

Dvalin felt like he was about to die unjustly. In all his thousands of years of life, he had never felt so wronged!

This is like a scholar encountering a soldier—you can't reason with him!

Its bellyful of grief and indignation was stuck in its throat, making its scales almost burst open!

"Still trying to argue!"

Seeing this, Yi Chen became even more convinced that the other party was a stubborn "demon," and a look of disappointment and frustration appeared on his face.

"Didn't your mother teach you not to lie?!"

The energy gathering around him grew stronger and stronger, clearly indicating that he was preparing to unleash a powerful attack.

Looking at the chilling energy fluctuations around Yi Chen and his resolute "acting on behalf of Heaven" demeanor, Tevalin felt a deep sense of powerlessness and absurdity wash over him.

Why is the birth of a dragon so difficult...?

Barbatos!!! Look at the kind of people you're protecting!!!

Wait... Barbatos, where the hell have you been?!

Back to the present, Yi Chen's wind elemental power surged like a tsunami, its momentum terrifying, as if it were about to unleash a world-shaking attack at any moment.

However, beneath that seemingly anger-driven appearance...

Yi Chen's gaze was precisely locked on the dark red crystals embedded in Dvalin's back, exuding an ominous and filthy aura, and the nauseating abyssal energy that was faintly wrapped around them.
