Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Now, it has become Helios's exclusive 'Colossus of Sol'.

It stands hundreds of meters tall and presents the image of a sun god holding up a torch.

Epimetheus is currently standing atop the head of this colossus.

And in his field of vision...

"Truly a legendary ancient hero who has left his mark on the long river of history."

The blonde Valkyrie Durandal said coldly, "It seems that relying solely on the power of the 'Radiant Knight' is far from enough to contend with you."

"So……"

[Star Anchor, Casting Form—]

As the blonde Valkyrie retreated in a flying motion, she summoned the damaged god-slaying weapon, the 'Arrow of Orion,' in her left hand.

At the same time, accompanied by the incantation matching the 'Undying Star Anchor' form, Ling Shu, who was already in the 'Trinity' state, instantly activated the corresponding form.

She wore golden feathered armor and her blonde hair was tied up in a neat single ponytail.

With his hands outstretched to the sides, he held two semi-transparent 'Star Abyss Illusion Spears' firmly in his grasp.

Witnessing this scene...

"It's you!"

Although Olympia is isolated from the world, its internal intelligence updates are not lagging behind those of the outside world.

Therefore, Epimetheus recognized at a glance that the blonde girl in front of him was the 'savior hero' who was most popular among the people in this era.

The Strongest Valkyrie - Durandal

It was she who, a few months ago, personally defeated the ancient monster Antares/Andaris, which she had been completely helpless against during a certain 'expedition'.

Furthermore, it went even further and annihilated the heretical evil generated by the latter—Scorpio/Scobien.

Ultimately, they directly defeated the nascent 'Smite'.

She saved countless lives across the entire continent.

Perhaps this is the true 'hero' that the world expects?

"Are you kidding me?"

Epimetheus's face contorted with barely suppressed rage. "Why you of all times, at a time like this..."

He simply couldn't put his chaotic emotions into words.

The person he had abandoned and now loathed most, the one who held the identity of a 'hero,' appeared before him.

But at the same time, it also subtly echoed the last glimmer of hope deep within my heart...

Unfortunately, Epimetheus would never admit it—

Are you the 'fool' of this era?

He raised his right hand, the tip of the Flaming Vulture Greatsword already pointing at the blonde girl who was standing a few meters away from him.

'Heroes' are foolish.

Because they always end up doing things that are thankless and difficult.

'Heroes' are incompetent.

Because when people need them, they will exploit everything about them, which is a sign of their inherent incompetence.

And once they disappoint the world, they will be scorned, which is considered a sign of their own incompetence.

Epimetheus had once heard phrases with diametrically opposed meanings, such as "Long live Emperor Epimetheus" and "What kind of hero are you?"

and also……

"Thank you for saving me" and "Why couldn't you save the child?"

as well as……

"You helped us reclaim our homeland" and "Why didn't you come sooner?"

How ironic!

The existence of a 'hero' not only means being exhausted when facing various disasters, but also being condemned by a group of ungrateful people afterward, leaving them completely wounded.

Epimetheus had had enough of this.

and so……

"How long can you enjoy 'fake compliments'?"

Epimetheus is mocking the blonde girl.

however……

"You seem to have some subtle misunderstanding about me."

The blonde Valkyrie spoke slowly, "Perhaps this can be considered a kind of 'irony of reality'."

“I had absolutely no intention of becoming a hero, but the corresponding praise fell on my head.”

Hearing her say those words...

"Ok?"

A look of surprise flashed across Epimetheus's face.

a long time……

"Haha, interesting, interesting, this is truly a masterpiece."

The middle-aged man with dark skin and blue hair laughed so hard he covered his face with one hand. "The people of this era have become so ridiculous... Is this the retribution they deserve?"

“Yes, you are not a true ‘hero,’ and only someone like me, who has been cursed by that disgusting identity for countless years, can see that.”

"That's hilarious."

Epimetheus's voice grew increasingly somber. "So, just as I thought, the ignorant masses don't need so-called 'heroes' at all. They just want a convenient 'tool,' a 'slave' who can benefit themselves."

"Now that things have come to this, it is your existence that perfectly proves all of this."

Sudden……

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it..." ×N

Epimetheus roared, “It is because of those empty lies (visions) that I and my fellow countrymen have been used all this time… In the end, not only is the dignity of the dead ruthlessly trampled, but I, who cannot die, am also burdened with eternal infamy.”

"Now, people are even starting to believe in someone who is 'not a hero,' and regard him (you) as their hope?"

"Then what about all the hard work and sacrifices we made in the past?"

At this point...

"You're stalling for time, aren't you?"

"..."

The blonde girl remained unfazed. "What a coincidence."

She released the two 'Star Abyss Illusion Spears' she was gripping tightly in her hands, and instead raised her right hand, palm facing forward...

"Me too."

This chapter has not been approved.

Previously, Ling Shu had commissioned the goddess Hephaestus, along with the Emperor and the General, to forge a new 'God-created Weapon/God-slaying Weapon,' which was a crimson flaming greatsword.

Its name is: Surtr.

Yes, it is the alternative "prototype" of the weapon used by the "Herrscher of Flame".

It should be noted that Ling Shu's "Trinity" skill will manifest different forms depending on the "different dominant consciousness", "different mediums used", "different expected image", and the "materials" used when combining.

Previously, when facing 'Scorpio' at the Great Sea of ​​Trees, Ling Shu used the following:

Dominant consciousness - fluorescent

The Medium - Orion's Arrow

Expected Image – The Undying Star Anchor (Bianca Attagina)

Materials used for fusion: Ling Shu's main body + Traveler twins + Paimon + a group of Genshin Impact characters

...such a 'module'.

The final product that took shape in the real world was exactly as expected, and it was able to draw upon the power of the 'world'.

And today...

"It's a pity that the real 'Godfall Sword' has not yet been forged."

"Moreover, I have not yet awakened the ability to develop [consciousness]."

"Otherwise, the burden and consumption of this transformation would be much, much less."

With that thought flashing through her mind, in that instant, a crimson broken sword appeared before the blonde Valkyrie.

It must be said that the 'Key of Revelation' came at the perfect time.

To be honest, if Ling Shu hadn't previously used the 'Ansel' clone magic to obtain the power of the 'suspected past life,' he would never have been able to use the 'Primordial Man' magic to prepare this 'alternative embryo' in advance.

The reason TA just watched Epimetheus utter a series of self-destructive remarks was actually because TA was waiting... to restore the 'magic power' it had consumed on its journey to its full potential.

In this way, one can ensure that the 'transformation time' can be maintained for a longer period of time.

Furthermore, the surrounding situation... especially the current state of 'Heavenly Fire', and... which deity was just sent back to the Heavenly Realm... all these things need to be thoroughly investigated.

Until now...

"Dominant Consciousness - Firefly".

“Medium – The Broken Sword of God’s Fall”.

"Expected image - Herrscher of Fire (Kiana Kaslana)."

"The materials (companions) for the fusion... have already been assembled."

This time, since the opponent is an ancient hero who has been through countless battles, Ling Shu knows that he cannot surpass the opponent in terms of skills and tactics, so he still chooses to let 'Ying', who is best at fighting, take control of the transformed body.
