Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

"...Respect to our esteemed Commander Rustan, without whom Mondstadt would be a desolate wasteland right now."

The knights placed their right hands over their hearts, their faces solemn.

The people of Mondstadt looked sad.

"Thanks to Commander Rustan, it's a pity he's dead."

"Sigh~ Without Captain Rustan, can we really withstand those terrifying magical beasts?"

"That evil dragon...I wonder if it's dead or not."

"It's definitely dead. Commander Rustan risked his life to kill it."

"Dvalin has also disappeared... Could it be that both Captain Rustan and Dvalin were summoned away by the Wind God?"

"That must be it. How could the Wind God bear to let someone as outstanding as Commander Rustan die like this?"

"Is that so? Hmm, Lord Rustan is actually not dead."

Listening to those words that seemed to be deceiving him, Roland, standing alone to the side, felt even more sorrowful.

Ultimately, his teacher's death was largely due to the Mondstadt people present at the scene.

If it weren't for them, if Su Chen were still the commander, if Mondstadt's city defenses, weapons, and troops hadn't been withdrawn, the beast tide wouldn't have been so difficult to withstand.

It's laughable that these people are still comforting themselves with the idea that the teacher is not dead.

I just wanted to make myself feel better.

A despicable nature will never change, no matter what.

Roland seemed to understand why Su Chen had defined 'destruction' as the meaning of the Earthfire Organization's existence.

Because if some things are not destroyed, hope will not be lost.

He didn't speak, because it was pointless. His teacher's wish was to protect Mondstadt, and he would follow that will and move forward in his own way.

But when Roland's gaze fell on the tombstone, a figure that had appeared out of nowhere stunned everyone.

Ellen Delin looked at Rosalind in surprise.

"It's you..."

He knew the other person.

The girl who always sang in Mondstadt had a particularly close relationship with Rustan, and they might even have been lovers.

Thinking of this, Erendrin opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

“Roland.” Rosalyn’s body trembled as she looked at the name carved on the tombstone. “How could you tolerate such a thing existing here? How could you selfishly pronounce Rustan dead?!”

Roland said sadly, "I have searched the wilderness and the snow-capped mountains, but I still cannot find my teacher's body."

"Then keep searching! Send more and more people to search! You, you, you, you, and you—why are you all standing here? Go search! Go search! Rustan won't die!!!"

Rosalind's face was contorted with madness, her pure white dress stained with blood—the blood of the monsters she had slain on her journey from Sumeru back to Mondstadt.

The scorching flames began to burn and spread, rapidly expanding with the madness emanating from Rosalind's sobs, evaporating the sorrow that had settled in the air. The unbearable heat caused the Mondstadt citizens around to retreat, staring at Rosalind in horror.

"Rosalind, stop right now!" Ellen Delin shouted urgently.

He never imagined that Rosalyn possessed such terrifying power. If she were allowed to unleash her power, the flames would devour everyone's lives!

"Russtan is dead! He's dead!" Erendrin gritted his teeth. "Do you intend to disturb his final peace?!"

"I do not believe!!!"

Rosalyn glared angrily at everyone.

Her heart, upon rushing back to Mondstadt and seeing Rustin's tombstone, seemed frozen solid.

Rustan is dead? No, impossible, absolutely impossible!

She didn't even have time to see him one last time. This sudden farewell filled the girl with confusion and anger.

"It's all your fault! It's all because of you, Rustan, that this happened!" Rosalind said coldly. "Russan risked everything to protect Mondstadt, but what did you do? You betrayed him, you didn't trust him. If it weren't for your stupidity, Mondstadt wouldn't be like this, and Rustan wouldn't have been in this mess!"

She obtained everything about Mondstadt through the Earthfire Organization.

If it weren't for these foolish Mondstadters ruining Su Chen's plans, Rosalind believed that things would never have gotten this bad!

“But what Commander Rustan did back then was indeed excessive,” a voice suddenly rang out. “His policies were too cruel. Who knew the beast tide would come? We're not gods. If Commander Rustan had told us, we definitely would have…”

"Shut up!"

Alan Delin glared at the man.

To provoke Rosalyn at this point would be foolish, wouldn't it?

"Haha, hahahahahahaha..." Rosalyn let out a mournful laugh.

As expected, these guys aren't worth protecting at all.

They are selfish, greedy, and cowardly; they only suck the blood of the kind and will only back down when faced with evil.

She's furious with everyone!

I'm even angrier at that god!

Why, why does Rustan have to shoulder everything alone?

Why is it that an omnipotent god is unwilling to even simply extend a hand?

boom!

Terrifying flames erupted from Rosalind's body, sweeping over her like a giant wave. Erendrin's expression changed drastically, and he ordered everyone to evacuate immediately.

"A monster! She's become a monster too!"

"Kill her! Kill her!!!"

"Shut up! All of you shut up!" Eren Delin roared.

"Stop! Rosalyn, stop right now!"

“You are all guilty.”

A chaotic cacophony.

The flames grew ever brighter amidst screams of fear and rage, and even Roland was stunned by Rosalyn's outburst.

He was equally angry, but he managed to remain rational.

Rosalyn was special from the start. She displayed superhuman talent when she joined the Earthfire, and the power she is unleashing now makes even the possessor of the Eye of God tremble.

Fierce~~

Flames burned across the entire square, following Rosalind's will, and climbed up the enormous wind god statue.

The statue standing in the square was covered in raging flames, fueled by blood and hatred, the flames seemingly endless.

No one dared to approach, and no one was able to approach.

Only the girl in the flames stood there alone.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Do not let the flames of hatred consume your reason; that is not the dawn, my dear Rosalind, but a sea of ​​fire that will consume everything.

"Russian..."

Amidst the raging flames, the Fire Witch trembled slightly, tears streaming down her face.
