Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

Polished seven-foot mirror in the palm of your hand

Yao Gui saw a ray of purple light in the endless darkness. Then, a piece, a piece... until a large area of ​​purple light replaced the black light and enveloped its entire body.

Then, there was an intense pain. Yes, he felt it, the pain that could almost split a person's soul, jumping on every nerve in his body.

"Ahhh-"

It wanted to cry out in pain, but found that it had lost its vocal organs and could only make leaking sounds by vibrating some parts of its body.

But it was also in this almost endless pain that Yao Gui felt it. He realized that he had successfully become a demon god and had the power to directly manipulate elemental forces that he had always dreamed of. However, he did not feel happy because of this. Because its pain, its anger, and "their" chaotic consciousness had completely covered up Yao Gui's emotions.

No, in the final analysis, Yao Gui can no longer be called a human. It and the other two puppets were combined into a group of things that were neither human nor ghost. Although they had great power, they did not have a unified consciousness. All of its actions were just instinctive. For example, now, it was constantly absorbing the elemental power nearby to repair its body that was beaten to pieces by Xiao. Apart from that, it had no thoughts or actions. Even if Yao Gui's spirit occasionally emerged from the dark and dark purple light, he could only fall into sleep again after feeling pain.

This is a demon that survives because of pain and darkness. It has no shape, no consciousness, only instinct and the drive of death, reminding it that this is itself.

......

"What a huge amount of elemental power! Moreover, these are all [contaminated] elemental powers!"

A member of the combat team with the God's Eye could not help but exclaimed in a low voice as he felt the elemental force around the southeast corner of the island. His companion who did not have the God's Eye beside him asked him solemnly: "Will what you said have any impact on our actions?"

The man with the Fire God's Eye said anxiously, "This is a big trouble! These elemental forces will drive away or even cover the pure elemental forces around us, causing us to be unable to absorb the elemental forces around us during the battle. We can only fight with the elemental forces in our bodies. However, this will make it impossible for us to sustain a long battle. At most, we will have to withdraw and reabsorb the elemental forces after fighting for three to five minutes. These polluted elemental forces cannot be absorbed at all. Who knows what will happen to your body after absorbing them!"

Li Tao heard their conversation and interjected, "To give an example, these polluted elemental forces are like the [demon energy] in the immortal cultivation books. Most people cultivate [true energy], and once they inhale [demon energy], they are at risk of becoming a demon."

"I see. Then what should we do..."

"Well, I guess we can only trust the Demon-Subduing Great Sage." Li Tao had no way to answer this question, so he could only evade it vaguely, "The Demon-Subduing Great Sage is an expert in dealing with demons. He was able to deal with the shadows of demons in the past, let alone these black auras."

Xiao, who was walking at the front of the team, could not hear the conversation between the others. Even if he did, he would not pay attention to it - because what Li Tao said was true. He was already used to dealing with demons, and the aura of this half-demon, half-god demon was not enough to quickly invade his body and consciousness.

But ordinary users of the Eye of God have no choice but to stop absorbing elemental power from the surroundings and concentrate on catching up with the troops.

According to the previous plan, Xiao will still lead the battle. But this time, Xiao also told the Haiyuan team that he needed them to assist in the attack, which meant that they had to act as auxiliary to make up for the damage. After all, Xiao had never suppressed the demon god himself (this was not his professional field), so it was always good to have one more person and one more force.

After "taking root" in the southeast corner of the island, the newly born demon god hardly moved. Everyone quickly arrived at its location - this guy kept releasing the black air he carried around, and it was hard to find - after observing from a distance, everyone agreed that the other party was just recovering from his injuries. If they wanted to attack, they had to do it as soon as possible, otherwise what if the other party recovered from his injuries and killed the Haiyuan team with great power? Otherwise, the other party would just run away, wouldn't the Haiyuan team be embarrassed?

However, people were puzzled by one thing: Why didn't this guy just run away now? Why did he stay on the island to recover? Did he think that the Marine Rescue Team would not dare to attack him?

In response to this question, Xiao explained calmly: "This is because the other party has just been born and probably has no sense of crisis. It will only act on instinct until we go to attack it. I guess if we cause a lot of damage to it, it will run away."

After hearing this explanation, Li Tao suddenly realized: I understand, this thing is slimier than a slime, and more hilly than a hillman. It is only because of its powerful strength that it is called a demon.

After having such mental preparation, everyone had some confidence to face this newborn-like monster.

......

A few minutes later.

"Can I take back what I said before? Isn't this thing a bit too strong?!!"

While dodging the Black Thunder God's large-scale lightning strike, Li Tao gritted his teeth and complained that he was too young and too simple to dare to touch the Porcelain God before. My God, the opponent can summon a lightning column tens of meters high with a casual strike, lifting the ground and shattering rocks. Ordinary people can't get close at all!

Even Xiao would attack the demon suddenly after dodging to the fullest, instead of confronting him head-on. He was like an assassin who kept disappearing in the dark night. Every time the spear pierced through, he would take away a piece of flesh and blood with black air and mud. The flesh and blood fell to the ground and quickly turned into corrosive and disgusting alchemical fluid.

"Roar——" Perhaps it was because of the pain caused by Xiao's continuous attacks, the demon god angrily waved something like his arm, and clouds of black mist poured out from it, and then quickly spread to the entire battlefield.

Manye roared loudly: "Release the rock wall and the fire pillar, and try to block the black fog! - Isshin-ryu Secret Teachings: Chihaya Shining!"

A large amount of wind blew out from Wan Ye's sleeves, and his drooping temples were also blown by the strong wind. In an instant, hurricanes rolled up on the spot, carrying maple leaves from nowhere and whistling towards the rolling black fog.

When Wan Ye called out the name of the move, his fingers were already on the hilt of the sword. When the first hurricane blew past, he drew his sword without distraction and slashed again!

Come on, cut again!

The sharp wind elemental force was thrown out with the centrifugal force of the blade, forming a huge flying slash in the air. At the same time, the wind elemental force that was constantly thrown out also formed a vortex in the air - the wind hole with strong suction power appeared again, absorbing a large amount of ominous black air above Wanye's head.

However, Wan Ye's whirlwind and slashing sword had a miraculous effect. When everyone was trying their best to resist the attack of the demon god, they were shocked to find that the black demon energy was blown away by the strong wind before it could move forward. When they looked up again, they found that Wan Ye's attack actually interrupted the demon god's spell and left a deep sword mark on his body. This made the opponent howl in pain again.

Even Wan Ye was a little confused: Although this demon is very powerful and has fierce moves, its defense doesn't seem to be very high.

Li Tao understood it at a glance - another glass cannon, right? But after looking at the mud-like body of the demon god, Li Tao decided to call it a stinky mud with a special attack racial value of 150 and a double defense racial value of less than 100. A complete king of partiality.

But there is no doubt that Manye's attack re-inspired the courage of the Kaien Team to continue fighting - the team leader was able to injure the demon god, which meant that the opponent was not that strong? As long as they paid attention to the opponent's attack rhythm, they might be able to kill a demon god together with the Demon-Subduing Great Sage.

With this thought in mind, the members of the combat team shouted and rushed forward with all their might.
