Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

"Of course you don't know, but I learned from sources that the Abyss Church has always had a mysterious leader, whom the followers respectfully call Her Highness the Princess. This incident was probably her doing."

"Which side should we help?" Anastasia asked.

"I think that guy named Lu Sheng messed up your brain." The woman glared at Anastasia with exasperation and cursed, "Which side are you on? They're all damned bastards! I wish they were all dead here today!"

"Yes... ma'am, I shouldn't have said that..."

Anastasia belatedly realized that the executive officer in front of her was once a Mondstadt citizen.

She harbors a deep and unforgettable hatred for both Canria and Mond.

"That's strange. Mondstadt has been almost wiped out, but Barbatos hasn't shown up yet... Maybe I should give him another strong dose of medicine."

The woman glanced at Lu Sheng, who was struggling to break through the encirclement, and smiled, saying, "We can't let this newly tamed puppy die like this."

She waved to her subordinates behind her, "Prepare to summon the Stormterror!"

A moment later, a melodious zither tune began to echo through the valley.

The Mondstadt soldiers, who were engaged in fierce fighting, heard the music and looked up in astonishment to find the source of the sound.

"This is... a tune that Lord Wind God once played?"

"The Wind God has come to save us? That's wonderful!"

"It's the Wind God! Lord Barbatos hasn't forgotten us!"

These soldiers had no idea that their cheers would be greeted not by the wind god they worshipped, but by a demonic dragon from the sky.

"Roar!!!!"

An angry roar echoed across the sky, and the winds of Mondstadt blew even more fiercely.

A massive black shadow rose from the ruins of the Wind Dragon, sweeping across the sky with a storm, blotting out the sun.

With a flap of its giant wings, the Wind Demon Dragon swooped down toward the mountain where the Fools were located.

Behind the woman, several lightning sorcerers fired lightning bolts into the sky in an attempt to stop the Wind Demon Dragon, but the power of the attack was no match for the berserk beast.

"Everyone stand back!"

The woman ordered her subordinates to hide behind her and single-handedly withstood the attack of the Stormterror.

boom!

The ice wall that rose from the ground was smashed open by the massive body of the Wind Demon Dragon. Immediately afterwards, several ice spikes came from all directions and pierced into the Wind Demon Dragon's body, finally temporarily blocking the beast's attack.

"I am not your enemy! They are! Dvalin! Look! The people you once protected are now taking up arms to kill you! Are these ungrateful bastards still worth protecting? Go, kill them all, and vent your anger and grievances!"

As if understanding the lady's words, the Stormterror stopped attacking and turned to look at the group of Mondstadters below who were wielding sharp blades.

The dragon-hunting crossbows on the cliff, along with the magical mechanisms, all prove one thing: they came to hunt down the dragon.

A hint of sadness seemed to flash across the Wind Demon Dragon's face, and a single red tear rolled down from the corner of its eye.

"Roar!!!"

It roared, flapped its wings, turned around, and charged toward the Knights of Mondstadt.

That was nothing short of a massacre.

The music of the wind god once summoned Dvalin to fight the dragon and protect Mondstadt.

Now, the same music plays again, but it summons an even more ferocious dragon.

Lu Sheng stopped his killing spree and turned to look at the hellish landscape behind him.

Stormterror did appear, but it was completely different from what was expected.

Under the combined attack of the Church of the Abyss and Stormterror, the Knights had no ability to retaliate. With only Jean, Kaeya, and others fighting to the death, all they could do was protect themselves.

Ordinary soldiers without the Eye of God were like ants in this war.

This is war, real war, and it has nothing to do with the childish war depicted in games.

I am indeed a novice, but seeing such a scene still deeply moves me.

"Damn it! We're already here! If we don't get the Stormterror's elemental power, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives!"

Just then, a strong wind arose all around, and Lu Sheng changed direction, riding the wind and charging towards the Wind Demon Dragon.

The Stormterror recognized the human it had fought in Mondstadt before, roared, and flapped its wings to fight.

The man and the dragon fought back and forth in the storm. Now, with the blessing of the Wind Control Technique, Lu Sheng was no longer passive even in the air. He used all seven elemental skills and fought the demonic dragon together.

Seeing the Wind Demon Dragon lured away, Qin looked up and exclaimed incredulously, "It's Rikuo! We have to help him!"

Seeing this, Kaeya called out to Chin, "Let Yura take the rest of the people and go first! I'm going to use the Dragon Slayer Crossbow!"

In the sky, the Wind Demon Dragon seemed to realize that Rikuo was able to fly by using the power of the wind, so it immediately flapped its wings to create turbulence, which swept Rikuo into it.

Caught in the turbulent current, Rikuo lost control of his body and was accidentally struck by the Wind Demon Dragon's tail, spitting out blood as he flew backward.

A pair of gentle, large hands caught Lu Sheng from behind. Just as he was wondering who else could be in this raging storm, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Be careful, hehe~"

Mondstadt-Liyue Chapter: Chapter 22: Twins? Three!

Ah, Minos! You actually came after all?

This sentence is a true reflection of Lu Sheng's inner thoughts.

“You are indeed no ordinary bard!” he feigned surprise.

Wendy smiled gently, "I am the first of the firstborn you mentioned, Barbatos."

"Don't take it out on me; ignorance is no excuse."

"Of course, you are absolutely right to criticize me. As a god of Mondstadt, I am utterly incompetent, otherwise things would not have turned out this way."

Wendy gently waved her hand, calming the storm around them and taking Lu Sheng to safety.

"Dvalin! I command you to stop in the power of the wind god!"

Wendy's voice carried on the wind to every corner of the battlefield.

The previously raging Wind Demon Dragon paused, frozen in mid-air, and the surrounding storm also weakened considerably.

"Barbatos...is that you?"

The Wind Demon Dragon opened its mouth and greeted its old friend in a language that only the two of them could understand.

"It's me, I'm back in Dvalin. Please stop this pointless killing. I'm here to help you."

"Help me... You've already seen it all, these ungrateful humans are here to kill me! Do you want to be their accomplice too?"

The Wind Demon Dragon spoke with skepticism; even when facing the Wind God, it dared not easily believe him.

“I’m not here to kill you. You’re my friend. How could I bear to hurt you? This is a misunderstanding. If you hadn’t attacked Mondstadt, these people wouldn’t be hostile towards you. Don’t forget, you were once the Warden of the Four Winds.”

"The Four Winds Guardian...that was all so long ago...I don't want to remember those things..."

"Please believe me, I will find a way to cure you, Dvalin, and we can soar through the skies of Mondstadt again, to see the dandelions covering the hills."

These words seemed to touch the reason hidden deep within the Wind Demon Dragon's heart. It fell silent, and its originally fierce face gradually softened.

"Barbatos, if only that were true... But alas... it's too late, everything is too late..."

"Roar!!!"

The Wind Demon Dragon suddenly let out a long roar, as if it were suffering extreme pain and torment.

Just then, the space around Stormterror was torn apart, and a calm voice slowly said to it: "Dvalin, he is deceiving you. No one in this world can heal you. You have no choice but to serve the Abyss."

Upon hearing this sound, Lu Sheng frowned and looked up at the crack.

A woman with the same long, golden hair as him stood in mid-air with a cold expression, reaching out to stroke Dvalin's cheek.

Ying... she really did personally take to the field.

With the appearance of Ying, the entire battlefield fell silent.

Everyone, including Qin and Kaiya, was stunned when they saw Ying, and then looked at Rikuo with complicated expressions.

That person... seems to look a lot like the younger sister that Rikuo mentioned.

"Luminous, why are you wasting your breath talking to these people? Dvalin has already submitted to us and will never betray us again. Even the Seven Gods cannot purify the corruption of the Abyss."

In the silence, another person's voice suddenly came from within the spatial rift.

The moment that person stepped out of the crevice and revealed their true face, everyone on the battlefield held their breath.

Lu Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still.

He actually saw himself!

Suddenly, another empty space appeared out of nowhere next to Ying!

Lu Sheng's brain was racing, but even if his head was spinning, he still couldn't understand what he was seeing.

If the sky is empty, then who am I?!

Why is this different from the original storyline? Is this still Teyvat, or Genshin Impact? What am I supposed to do here?

The real and fake Monkey King, right?

At this moment, Lu Sheng had only one thought in his mind. He leaped forward and rushed towards the crack, wanting to figure out what was going on.

However, the other party had no intention of giving Lu Sheng this chance. He took Ying's hand, turned around, and disappeared into the spatial rift.

"Tvalin, kill them all."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange aura of the abyss erupted from Dvalin's body. The little bit of sanity that Barbatos had managed to restore instantly vanished. Its eyes turned blood red, and its body was surrounded by black energy. It had completely transformed into a bloodthirsty monster.

"Don't go!"

Lu Sheng desperately wanted to know the truth. Facing the gaping maw of the Wind Demon Dragon, he disregarded everything and charged forward with his sword.

The man and the dragon clashed in the sky. The completely corrupted Wind Demon Dragon gained an overwhelming advantage. It bit Lu Sheng's body and roared towards the Wind Dragon Ruins.

On the ground, Kaeya maneuvered the Dragon Slayer Ballista, aimed at Stormterror, and decisively pressed the fire button.

A specially made crossbow bolt, as thick as a person, shot out through the wind and accurately pierced the belly of the Stormterror. The Stormterror cried out in pain, opened its mouth and released Rikuo. The two of them fell from the sky and crashed into the Stormterror Ruins.

Upon seeing this, Barbatos immediately rushed into the storm-swept ruins of the wind dragon to search for the whereabouts of the land creature.
