Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

So before the other party could even finish speaking, Su Feng decisively manipulated his power, summoning an indestructible gale and thunder that could dissolve everything.

The sharp gale and thunder almost instantly enveloped everything in sight, and the terrifying power completely tore apart the space that had become fragile due to the successive outpourings of energy.

However, Nibelungen remained terrifyingly indifferent in the face of this attack that could shatter and annihilate even space itself, as if he had not seen the attack that had shattered space at all.

He made no unnecessary movements, but simply released a terrifying abyssal power as deep as the ocean.

The next moment, the collision between the power of light and the power of the abyss became extremely violent, and everything around them turned into a duel arena of the abyss, gale, and thunder.

The gale and thunder, empowered by the Herrscher's authority, relentlessly cut and decomposed the terrifying abyssal power with extreme sharpness. The abyssal power, capable of instantly corrupting the Demon God, even gave the illusion of being utterly vulnerable in the face of Su Feng's authority.

However, Nibelungen remained chillingly indifferent in the face of Su Feng's terrifying attack, not even giving him a second glance.

Su Feng had no intention of relaxing his efforts given Nibelungen's strange reaction, nor did he think that Nibelungen, who had driven the entire Teyvat to the brink of destruction, would be so easy to deal with.

Sure enough, although Nibelungen simply released abyssal power to resist in a futile manner, Su Feng quickly realized something was wrong.

Everything in this space is constantly tilting towards the Nibelungen.

If the demons infused their power into the ley lines, transforming everything around them into their own domains and kingdoms, then what Nibelungen is doing now is actually quite similar to what the original being did after descending upon Teyvat.

He would replace the world's most fundamental constituent forces with his own image, transforming the entire world into whatever he desired.

Although Nibelungen is not currently performing this operation on the entire Void Realm, and this is merely an avatar he casually created, it doesn't seem to be a difficult task for him to bring this space where the battle is currently taking place under his control.

This method is far more profound and terrifying than Su Feng imagined. Although he was unsure of the extent to which Nibelungen could achieve this, he strongly suspected that once it had control over everything here, it might even be able to regulate the fundamental rules of the world!

Since they can control the very foundation of the world, there's no need to engage in a power clash with Su Feng—they can simply modify the rules once they're able to do that, and even if Su Feng's power is still usable, there are plenty of ways to weaken and counter it.

This is like when one person in a 1v1 game suddenly cheats; it's not even a match between people on the same level!

You want to compete in skills?

What a joke!

Of course, we should compare whose code is better!

Clearly, Su Feng, who had never expected such an operation, was caught off guard.

Having little knowledge of this, he now seems only able to watch helplessly as the Nibelungen gradually erodes and controls everything around them, yet he seems powerless to stop it from doing so.

There is a near-precipitous gap between the two sides in their understanding at a higher level!

"Tch, I need to think of a way!"

Realizing that he would be no match for the Nibelungen if things continued this way, Su Feng gritted his teeth, but he couldn't think of a way to stop the Nibelungen.

After all, he has almost turned the battlefield into a void, but it is clear that this alone has little impact on Nibelungen.

Upon realizing the problem, Su Feng released more power in a short period of time to see if he could stop or delay the erosion of the Nibelungen in this way, but the effect was minimal.

After all, the two sides are operating on completely different levels. The price Su Feng would have to pay to influence the overall battlefield's direction with his power would be dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of Nibelungen.

Thinking of this, Su Feng became even more anxious. Just then, Nibelungen, who had been standing still and passively resisting Su Feng's attacks, suddenly took action.

The terrifying power of the abyss was sculpted into a thick pillar of light, which then crashed directly towards Su Feng.

"wind!"

Faced with this pillar of light that gathered unimaginable power from the abyss, Su Feng instinctively erected a wind wall in front of him.

Seemingly feeling that this wasn't safe enough, after erecting the wind wall, Su Feng subconsciously placed a thick layer of lightning and black mist in front of him to decompose any attacks that might break through the wind wall.

However, what happened next was far beyond Su Feng's imagination.

The beam of light, which had gathered far too much abyssal power, did not break through the nearly indestructible barrier in the most explosive way after it hit the wind wall. Instead, the violent abyssal power instantly transformed into the finest 'droplets' and began to merge into the wind wall.

The corrosiveness of the abyss was on full display at this moment. Under the control of Nibelungen, the abyss was far more adept at corroding everything than Su Feng had ever seen before. Even the wind wall that Su Feng thought was made of ideal fluid and had no flaws appeared to be full of loopholes when faced with this all-pervasive abyssal erosion.

Nibelungen didn't even have to expend much effort to completely erode the wind wall.

No, it's not just because of the characteristics of the abyss's erosion, but more because the ideal fluid itself is no longer ideal—although it still retains most of its original characteristics, the ideal fluid that Su Feng is now creating has been given a forced flaw by this 'space'!

The influence of Nibelungen on the fundamental rules of this region is enough to create loopholes in Su Feng's authority, which is the worst possible news for Su Feng.

But Su Feng quickly lost interest in thinking about it, because after breaking through the first layer of wind wall, the powerful abyss rushed towards him. And once the most comprehensive wind wall was breached, how long could the lightning and death fog withstand it?

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The World Tree That Suddenly Appeared

Su Feng's current situation is very bad.

After discovering that his powers were gradually being restricted by the Nibelungen, when faced with the endless waves of abyss from the enemy, his only option was to forcibly spread the power within his body and then use the purity of the Light Realm itself to fight back.

The pure light energy blocked the attack at several times the cost.

But this can only slightly delay the current situation—the Light Realm Force is not at an advantage when facing the Abyss Force, not to mention that although Su Feng can obtain a continuous supply of Light Realm Force, the Light Realm Force he can release within a certain period of time is limited.

But things are different in Nibelungen.

Whenever needed, it can utilize the almost inexhaustible power of the abyss in the deep lake below the battlefield—others might worry about the abyss's corrosive influence, but Nibelungen clearly has no such concern.

This has resulted in the Nibelungen not only having an advantage in the quality of their power, but also overwhelming Su Feng in terms of scale. If we add the fact that their control over the surrounding space continues to increase, then Su Feng can be said to have absolutely no chance of winning.

Having never experienced anything like this since birth, Su Feng seemed to feel a little flustered. Fortunately, having awakened a portion of his power of awareness, he was able to barely control his emotions, so he didn't make any serious mistakes because of this.

But even so, what can be done?

The gap between the two sides is obvious. With Su Feng's current strength, there is no possibility of breaking this deadlock. After all, the huge gap between the two sides cannot be bridged by any skill.

If Su Feng cannot break Nibelungen's near-fundamental control over this battlefield, then he has no chance of turning the tide.

Is there really no other way?

This thought popped into Su Feng's mind for the first time. Although he instinctively didn't want to give up, he couldn't think of a way to resolve the current dire situation.

'You don't need to be like that. As long as you don't give up, things will always turn around.'

Here it comes!

Just as Su Feng was considering whether to try to activate the 'cocoon' while he still had the strength to resist, a somewhat indistinct voice suddenly appeared in his mind, interrupting his thoughts.

Upon hearing this voice, Su Feng was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered.

He seemed to have a vague idea of ​​who was speaking.

Not long after the voice that suddenly appeared in Su Feng's mind fell, something beyond their imagination silently appeared on the battlefield that had been turned into a vacuum by both sides—it was a crystal-clear tree branch that seemed to shimmer with all truth and knowledge.

When this branch silently extended onto the battlefield from some unknown corner, the entire battlefield, which had been gradually tilting towards Nibelungen, suddenly slipped out of its control. After that, the power of the Abyss, which had been almost completely under its control, suddenly showed a slight pause.

"!"

"what!"

Su Feng seized the moment of hesitation, decisively abandoning his self-protection and instantly transforming all the light energy he had released into the most powerful death mist he now possessed.

The deathly mist that decomposes all things immediately turned everything it touched into utter nothingness. After dealing with the abyss power that had approached it, it swiftly transformed into a whirlwind and appeared beside the World Tree branch that had inexplicably appeared there.

Although he didn't know why a branch of the World Tree would appear here, it wasn't a bad thing for Su Feng.

Perhaps sensing Su Feng's approach, the World Tree, which had merely appeared here and disrupted Nibelungen's control over the area before remaining still, suddenly grew branches and wrapped around Su Feng's arm. Upon touching the World Tree, Su Feng immediately experienced a feeling that was impossible to describe in words.

What does it feel like to be omniscient and omnipotent?

Su Feng was unaware of this, but now that he had come into contact with the World Tree, which had granted him most of its permissions, he had the 'illusion' that he could do anything.

No, this isn't really an illusion. As one of the foundations of Teyvat's existence, the World Tree's influence on Teyvat is so great that it's unimaginable to ordinary people.

If it's through the World Tree, then there are countless things that can be done; to some extent, calling it 'omnipotent' wouldn't be an exaggeration.

However, for Su Feng now, the changes brought about by the World Tree are not just about this 'omnipotence'. What he cares more about is the 'omniscience' he gains because of the development of the World Tree's permissions!

As the boundless knowledge and rules opened their doors to Su Feng, a new power also began to develop within him.

A dazzling light emanated from Su Feng's chest, and another dazzling gem appeared from the light. When the gem appeared, Su Feng couldn't help but open his arms to embrace it.

A powerful new force began to flow through Su Feng's body, and when the fundamental truth manifested, everything became even more powerful.

"This is...the world...power...weird."

At the same time, after sensing the power of the gem that manifested from Su Feng's body, even the usually extremely indifferent Nibelungen couldn't help but utter some disjointed words.

However, the lack of language skills cannot conceal the Nibelungen people's seriousness now.

Those eyes, which had previously been as expressionless as ice sculptures, finally took a serious look at Su Feng for the first time.

It seems he has finally decided to keep this opponent in mind.

Soon he mobilized as much power as possible again—regardless of what kind of power Su Feng possessed, since both sides had already recognized each other as opponents, there was no need to consider so much.

The most important thing to do right now is to kill the other party at all costs.

Therefore, the Nibelungen mobilized all the forces at their disposal.

If it weren't for the fact that its main body is currently unable to move, it probably wouldn't mind personally taking action to completely annihilate Su Feng.

Unfortunately, the only thing it can project right now is this one clone, and given the current situation, it's probably unrealistic for it to defeat Su Feng with just this one clone.

But since it's not a huge loss, let's just let it go!

Meanwhile, Su Feng, who had just put the gem into his hand, raised his head and opened his pupils, which were beginning to glow with azure light. In that instant, he saw a new world that was completely different from the one he had seen before.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Few Nails?

The power of the Herrscher of Reason is spreading and becoming active within Su Feng's body.

Compared to the powers of other Herrschers, the power of the Herrscher of Reason is actually more peculiar and unpredictable.

While the concept of understanding and reproducing may seem simple, it actually contains a deeper and more profound meaning that is difficult to fathom.

Understanding and reconstructing technological products is one way of using them, and understanding and reconstructing the Divine Key is another way of using them.

So, how do we understand and reconstruct the world itself?

This is certainly one way of using it, but compared to deconstructing technological products or the Key of God, the level of knowledge required to deconstruct and recreate the world itself—even a part of it—is on a completely different level from other ways of using it.

Su Feng has indeed gained the power of reason, but it's unrealistic to expect him to achieve this level right away.

Let alone understanding and reproducing a part of the world itself, it's impossible for him to reproduce the authority of the gods he's seen before—perhaps he could reproduce the Eye of God.

Clearly, the tiny Eye of God is utterly useless to beings of god-level status, let alone be involved in the current battlefield.

However, the fact that Su Feng himself could not do it does not prevent him from doing these things now with the support of the World Tree!

When it comes to understanding the world, as far as Su Feng knows, there are still very few beings who can surpass the World Tree itself.
