He changed Tiwat

Some "slices" of "doctors," especially the younger ones, also look at people with this kind of gaze—"Because your intelligence level is too low, I cannot communicate with you effectively"...that's roughly the idea.

The "scattered soldier" felt he should be angry, but also felt that getting angry would mean losing.

So he forced himself to ignore Han Fulai's provocative gaze: "It's just an excuse. Your so-called 'fairness' is nothing but self-interest."

Han Fulai smiled slightly: "I've already said, this is just a simple example to help you understand. A brat like you who looks down on humanity and morality and keeps saying 'none of your business' and 'none of my business' can only understand topics related to interests."

"In fact, even if there were no conflict of interest, just as a person, I would still try my best to come here and seek justice from you."

The "scattered soldier" tried to ignore the sarcasm in his words, but only frowned more deeply: "Why?"

"To put it in the way you can most easily understand—for the long-term benefit. No matter how powerful the gods are, it is still humankind itself that truly develops civilization and creates history. It is by cherishing the connections between people that humankind has been able to create civilization and history. So-called 'fairness' is a social covenant that people spontaneously build for the long-term benefit."

Han Fulai said.

"The seven kingdoms of Teyvat each have their own culture and races, and their customs and human environment are all unique. Often, the differences between different cultures are so great that they are hard to understand. But there are still some common customs among the seven kingdoms, such as 'supporting the elderly and raising children'."

"From a purely utilitarian perspective, children and the elderly are the least productive groups. They cannot work, cannot create value, yet they still take away the food and resources of the young and strong... But even on Umijima Island, the most resource-poor island in Inazuma, children and the elderly are not sent to the battlefield, and when food is most scarce, the elderly and children are not allowed to starve to death. Why?"

"Because everyone will grow old and be unable to support themselves one day. At that time, they can only rely on the children of yesteryear to grow into young adults and support them. This seemingly altruistic behavior is essentially a form of selfishness. These conventional moral standards in human society are ultimately based on the agreement that 'I treat others well, and I hope that others will treat me the same way.'"

"Therefore, 'altruism' is also 'selfishness'."

The "scattered soldiers" scoffed dismissively: "Ha, they're just weaklings who can't survive without sticking together for warmth."

“But the weak can defeat the strong when they unite.” Han Fulai remained unmoved. “In my eyes, all of humanity on the continent of Teyvat can unite under the covenant of equality and freedom.”

"Whether he is from Liyue or Inazuma, as long as he is human, he is a 'community of shared destiny' under this covenant."

"There are many such people in the resistance. They traveled thousands of miles from foreign lands, crossed storms on the open sea, and broke through the blockade of the shogunate. They joined the resistance for the covenant of equality and freedom, and shed their blood for foreign people they had never met before."

"For example, there was Dr. Homoto from Hikimura. He refused the high-ranking official position and generous salary offered by the shogunate, gave up the comfortable life on Narukami Island, and rushed to Hikimura with his master, Dr. Naoko, to provide free medical care for the villagers. When the 'Taishin' broke out, his master passed away. He had no time to grieve and risked his life to come to the front line to seek help."

"Such people are called internationalist fighters by us, and they are great heroes."

Han Fulai waved his hand and threw the "N"-shaped mask on the ground.

“Your spy Nathan, under the guise of an internationalist fighter, secretly spread evil eyes within the army, inciting radicals in the resistance to create ‘evil gods,’ and even instigating people to detonate the ‘Kage Furnace Heart,’ nearly causing an even greater disaster.”

"Dr. Homoto risked his life to come to the military camp to save people, seeking help from the resistance and from me, all to save the people of Hiki Village; Dr. Nathan, also a 'doctor,' ruthlessly killed his own patient."

"He has desecrated the spirit of internationalism and the name of a hero."

"Therefore, I came here for the people of Hiki Village and for the 'justice' in my heart."

"..."

After listening to Han Fulai's monologue, the "scattered soldiers" fell into a long silence.

Finally, he said something cryptic: "You're too late."

Han Fulai raised an eyebrow: "But I still have time to stop you from causing more tragedies."

"It's too late."

The "scattered soldiers" shook their heads.

“Power will attract the weak who seek it. Believe it or not, even if we stop actively spreading the Evil Eye, people will come to us and beg us for it.”

"The more you lose, the more you want to gain; the more powerless you are, the more you struggle. No matter how hard those powerless insects try, it is all in vain. Just like the so-called 'resistance army,' they seem to be winning victory after victory, but this victory is like a bubble in the water, brilliant but destined for destruction."

“You and I have different paths, and we are not meant to work together. But I would like to kindly remind you, as compensation for your conversation with me for so long—if you are looking for the mastermind behind this, then I regret to inform you that you have come to the wrong person. The mastermind is someone else.”

“‘Doctor,’ and ‘Lady’ and ‘Rich Man’?” Han Fulai rattled off a string of executive code names fluently. “So you want to claim that you’re just a tool following orders, that you’re innocent… just like this Nathan?”

These words undoubtedly struck a nerve with the "straggler," who could no longer maintain his dignified posture and sprang to his feet, shouting, "Shut up!"

But Han Fulai didn't stop: "That Nathan is a lot like you—when he hurts others, he thinks he's high above and in control of everything, like a god who can manipulate everything; but as long as you take off his mask and expose him to his true form, he becomes a groveling dog... You know what? Even lackeys get beaten."

The "scattered soldier's" gaze grew increasingly sinister: "The god of Liyue is about to lose his lackey today... He failed to control his own lackey, allowing it to trespass into someone else's yard."

He slowly floated up and hovered in mid-air.

Self-flight is precisely what separates humans from gods and immortals.

Han Fulai remained unfazed, calmly observing the "scattered soldiers."

“In fact, your Winter Solstice Kingdom also has such ‘fairness’ and people who believe in this ‘fairness’.”

"Your Queen has signed the Protection Agreement with the other six nations. This agreement grants you, the Fatui, the right to travel freely among these six nations, but also obligates you to protect them during the Calamities. One company within the Fatui once braved the Lava Pit for this agreement, sacrificing their lives for the people of Liyue..."

"You are here because of this 'Protection Agreement.' You and your subordinates came here under the pretext of assisting the shogunate in dealing with the 'Taishin' on Hachiyū Island. The 'Taishin' were originally the enemies you needed to eliminate. But what is the real situation?"

“You have broken your promise to Inazuma; you are faithless and treacherous.”

"As the 'successor of the Emperor,' I have an obligation to convey a message to you on behalf of the 'God of Contracts.'"

"What are you saying?" Lightning crackled in the soldier's hands.

Han Fulai's eyes closed and opened, and his pupils turned golden.

"Those who break their promises shall be punished by being eaten by rocks."

Chapter 128 Entering the Pure Brightness Six Times, All Phenomena Vanish [4k]

The positions of the Fools' executives are determined by their strength. "Scattered Soldier" is ranked sixth, which means that his strength ranks in the top half even among the eleven executives.

Furthermore, his body was originally created by General Thunder to house the "Heart of God," giving him extraordinary power from birth; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a born demigod. When he unleashes his full power, his ranking might rise even higher.

In reality, among the Fools, only the Commander "Clown" and the top three Executives, who are said to be able to rival the gods, are able to consistently outmatch him in combat power.

As for the others... the "scattered soldiers" didn't really take them seriously.

According to the information gathered by the Fools, Han Fulai possesses the title of "Successor of the Rock God" and has also entered the "Salt of the Earth" ruins, where he obtained the inheritance of the Salt God Heuria, making him a half-demon level fighter. However, just as there are differences in strength among demons, there are also differences in strength among demigods.

Han Fulai's most notable achievement so far is defeating Ausel's subordinate, Ba Che, which "Sanbing" could also do. If Han Fulai had been the one facing Ba Che, "Sanbing" believes that Ba Che would not have even had a chance to escape into the sea.

Heuria, the Salt Goddess, was already the weakest Daedric in the history of Teyvat. Han Fulai was only half Heuria, so he was even weaker.

Even more coincidentally, according to the intelligence brought back by Clement, Han Fulai's so-called "Ancient Chinese Spear Technique" was nothing but a show; he was essentially a "Battle Mage."

—And the fighting style of the "skirmishers" is also that of the "battle mage".

The "scattered soldiers" didn't think Han Fulai would have a chance of winning when things really got serious.

The provocation earlier had already made him very unhappy, but Han Fulai's current fearless and head-up attitude only fueled his anger to its peak.

"You rats and sparrows, lower your heads!"

With a loud shout, the ball of lightning in the "scattered soldier's" left hand transformed into a triangular pyramid-shaped lightning prism, which crashed down on Han Fulai on the ground like a falling meteor.

At the same time, the lightning in the right hand of "Skirmisher" transformed into a ball of lightning and landed, splitting into nine. Rays of purple laser light burst forth from the lightning ball, attacking in conjunction with the lightning prism.

Lightning prisms strike surfaces, while ball flash lasers penetrate lines. Surrounded by the power of lightning, Han Fulai had nowhere to escape.

This is a killing move created by "Scattered Soldiers" by combining the two techniques of "Netherworld Thunder Sealing" and "Extinction Wheel Flow".

—If Han Fulai had time to comment at this moment, he would probably say that this is very similar to "the Thunder of No Form".

The elemental lifeforms of the "Phenomenon Series" are the purest elemental crystals. Such moves represent the highest level of application of lightning elemental attack techniques and can be considered "ultimate moves" anywhere.

Even someone like Kujo Sara, who possesses the Tengu bloodline with the Thunder God's Eye, would need to rely on a treasure and perform incantations and hand seals to unleash such powerful thunder magic—but the Scattered Soldiers did it casually, without even needing to use "words of power."

In a more fantastical world, this kind of "scattered soldiers" behavior would be called "using a forbidden spell with a basic attack," a typical overpowered protagonist trope...

Han Fulai had no energy left to comment on this; he was annihilated before he could even withstand the first wave of attacks.

As he vanished into thin air, a huge star emerged from the top of the "scattered soldier's" head, covering the entire auditorium.

"The heavens are in motion!" Han Fulai's voice came from another direction.

The skirmishers in the air had no way of avoiding this long-planned attack.

Yes, it was premeditated.

Long before Han Fulai pushed open the auditorium door, he had already made ample preparations for battle.

What the "scattered soldiers" saw was a masked "Nathan," but in reality, it was "two people" who entered the room—Han Fulai's true form, hidden by "Stealth and Concealment," and the illusion created by "Mysterious Spear and Exquisite Strike."

Behind the half-open door, there is actually a spinning die.

Regardless of whether the "scattered soldiers" will make a move or not, he's prepared to do so anyway; the only difference is whether he'll fight them one-on-one or wait for Yingmei to arrive and gang up on them...

To avoid being seen through by the "streakers," Han Fulai carefully overlapped his real body with the illusion, making it appear as if his body was covered by a transparent camouflage. This is also the meaning behind the "streakers'" words, "Put away your ridiculous disguise," when they met.

He wasn't referring to the disguise of the mask, but rather the disguise of the magic.

And that's when this little trap came into play.

When he threw out Nathan's mask to provoke the "skirmisher" and successfully diverted the "skirmisher's" attention, his real body had already quietly slipped to the "skirmisher's" side, leaving only an illusion in place.

He used this trick to fool Kujo Sara back in Nashida. It's a useful move, so of course you should use it more often.

In terms of strength, both sides are demigods; in terms of "class," both sides are "battle mages," so in a way it's a fair duel—except that one of them gave himself an evasion buff beforehand...

Of course, Han Fulai also had something to say. This was the Fools' territory, and they had the advantage of location and support. He was giving himself some buffs first as a precaution. If it weren't for the fact that wearing a shield would expose his true form, Han Fulai would definitely have kept the Jade Shield active the whole time.

The "scattered soldier" who had just been commanding people to bow down like a god has been smashed to dust by Tianxing and shamefully turned into a petrified statue. The anger and astonishment on his face still remain on the statue.

A few months ago, Han Fulai would have been completely exhausted after unleashing a "Heavenly Movement" attack, but now he is still full of energy and should be able to unleash three or five more attacks if necessary.

Having succeeded in his attack, Han Fulai did not carelessly step forward to inspect the results of his battle, but instead did two things.

First, activate the shield.

Second, finish off the enemy.

It's never a bad thing to be careful.

As the Jade Pendant Shield activated, Han Fulai also summoned the Salt Sorrow Spear, which shot directly at the petrified "Scattered Soldier," piercing him through the chest.

Although the Salt Sorrow Spear is weakened due to absorbing the filth from the earth's veins, its sharpness as a divine weapon and its mystical saltification remain.

The petrification caused by "Heavenly Movement" combined with the "saltification" of the Salt Mourning Spear meant that the "Scattered Soldiers" should theoretically be completely dead.

However, Han Fulai frowned.

Because the "scattered soldiers" were not "salinized".

The salt-stained spear did indeed pierce the skirmisher's chest, but the expected phenomenon of him turning into a white salt sculpture did not occur.

Something's not right...

The "salification" ability of Shio Ai can be said to be the nemesis of all living things. Even monsters with infinite regenerative abilities will have their flesh and blood solidified and their life force cut off due to "salification" - this was already proven when they fought against the "Frozen Tree" in Dragonspine Snow Mountain.

However, the Salt Sorrow Spear had indeed struck the body of the "scattered soldier," including the remnant soul of the Salt God residing within the Salt Sorrow Spear. The feedback indicated that it had hit the opponent's physical body.

The automatic tracking of this amazing device is not as easily fooled as the naked eye.

What went wrong?

At this moment, the body of the "scatterer," which had been petrified and pierced through the chest, trembled. Then, a layer of purple lightning emanated from the surface of his body, and cracks appeared one after another on the petrified shell, with stone chips falling off in a flurry.

At the same time, the entire floor of the auditorium lit up with an eerie purple light, forming a huge magic circle.

Thick fog was seeping out from underground... it was the aura of a "demonic spirit".

The golden light of the jade shield clashed violently with the aura of the "evil god," creating ripples like waves on water.

The concentration of "evil spirits" here is no less than that of "Miei Furnace Heart".

Han Fulai's heart skipped a beat as he recalled the plot of the game—the traveler in the game fainted quickly after seeing the "skirmisher," and the "skirmisher" didn't even have a health bar.

It now appears that "Scattered Soldiers" had also laid an ambush long ago. Just as he had activated "Hidden Form and Concealed Radiance" in advance, "Scattered Soldiers" had also set up a huge magic array in this hall. Once the magic array is activated, the high concentration of "evil spirit" energy will corrode all living beings here.

And it seems that the "scattered soldiers" are not affected by the "evil spirits"?

As if eager to answer his question, the first thing to break through the petrification was the "scatterer's" hardest mouth.

"Be prepared to pay the price..."

The voices of the "scattered soldiers" were filled with resentment like that of a "demonic spirit."

He was indeed struck by Han Fulai's "Heavenly Phenomena" and was indeed pierced by the Salt Sorrow Spear.

This could be fatal to humans, monsters, or even some demon gods.

But the "scatterers" are neither human nor monsters; they are man-made machines.

He has no blood, no flesh, no need to breathe, no need to eat, does not age, and does not feel pain.

He was merely a puppet with self-awareness.

Even if he were torn to pieces and ground into powder, he would feel nothing; as long as his soul and consciousness remained, he would still be alive. Furthermore, the self-repairing ability of the puppet-like body created by the gods would ensure that this body would never decay even after thousands of years.

In fact, the wound in his chest from the piercing of Shio Ai had already begun to regenerate.

Although the wound itself doesn't hurt, the "scattered soldiers" can feel a different kind of pain.
