Genshin Impact: Supreme Justice of Teyvat

Chapter Eight: The Forgotten One in the World

As the voice faded, everyone turned their gaze toward the source.

Under the pitch-black night sky and the radiant crescent moon, a figure appeared at the street corner. It wandered out of the darkness, as though walking in an empty place.

Dressed entirely in black, the figure wore a faceless mask and held a yellow balloon. The balloon had strange patterns on it, resembling childlike doodles. It looked odd, as though the person had just returned from a masquerade ball.

However, through the mask, one could catch a glimpse of detached eyes, cold and indifferent, resembling those of a god, gazing down upon the earth.

The sudden appearance left everyone frozen. Even the spider priest halted in its steps.

It crushed a small car blocking its path, raising its increasingly deformed head. Its eight eyes locked onto the figure, and it growled, “Who are you?”

The masked figure responded calmly, his voice flat, “Ask your master behind you. You are not worthy.”

This person was, of course, Lu Yu, who had just arrived. He glanced at the dozens of spiders lying on the ground, his eyes nearly glowing with excitement.

This was all material! Even with a 10% drop rate, he could still get a few venom sacs! And this spider priest was clearly much stronger than the rare monsters he had encountered before. It might even drop better materials!

To avoid revealing his true identity, Lu Yu planned to disguise himself as an ancient powerful being, thus diverting everyone’s attention.

After all, he was still unsure about the top-tier structure of this extraordinary world. Would they harbor ill intentions toward him, the creator of these monsters?

Better to develop in a low-key manner. And names shouldn’t be mentioned casually!

This was a world with evil gods. Though he used two worlds in his name, who could guarantee these evil gods wouldn’t use certain curses related to names?

Caution was key!

The spider priest, hearing Lu Yu’s words, froze for a moment. Then, its anger ignited.

How arrogant! Was he claiming to be an eternal god like the Spider God? Only a god could hear his name?

“You arrogant fool! You think I will fear you just because you’re bluffing? You, a lowly being, how could you compare to the great Spider God?” the spider priest hissed, baring its fangs.

It stood tall, facing the masked figure. Its beastly senses detected no power emanating from him, meaning this was likely just a human trying to bluff.

Having once been human, the spider priest had abandoned its lowly human form to become a noble spider priest. It knew humans were skilled in deception, and it believed this was another such attempt.

“Foolish thinking. You’ve truly become a bug, haven’t you? Your brain is clearly malfunctioning!” Lu Yu whispered, his tone calm, but it twisted the already hideous face of the spider priest even further.

Without curses, without rage, but the sheer contempt in his voice pushed the spider priest to the brink of madness.

It swung its claws violently, severing the small car in front of it into pieces. The flying metal shards embedded into nearby walls.

As the spider priest’s mind twisted further from its human origins, the beastly rage took over, and it no longer cared for strategy—it wanted to devour flesh!

Upon hearing Lu Yu’s mockery, it decided it would no longer waste time with these humans. It would sacrifice the city to earn the Spider God’s favor and ascend to the Morning Star level, or even higher!

Then, it could establish a spider kingdom on Earth, freely devouring flesh without hiding in the shadows.

As the spider priest’s eight eyes spun wildly, it shouted, “Let me feast on this fool!”

At its command, eight spiders that had been hiding leapt from the shadows, baring their sharp, terrifying mandibles as they charged at Lu Yu.

The spider priest itself lunged forward, leaping into the air with its razor-sharp claws raised. It seemed ready to slice through anything in its path!

Unlike the other monsters, the spider priest always aimed for a quick kill, ensuring no chance for its prey to retaliate.

“Watch out!” the commander cried, but soon realized this was a creature near the Morning Star level—what good would a warning do? It was already too late for anyone.

This mysterious figure had likely intended to scare off the spider priest, but it had been seen through!

After all, how could a person without any visible power bluff as one of the strong?

“All is lost!” the thought crossed everyone’s minds. Some couldn’t bear to watch what would happen to Lu Yu next and instinctively closed their eyes.

In that moment, human fear and despair flooded the scene.

The spider priest, sensing these emotions, let out a wild laugh, looking down at the motionless Lu Yu. “Die!”

Lu Yu lifted his head, his heart racing, though he didn’t show it outwardly. It was his first time facing so many monsters at once, and it was during such a dramatic moment—he almost wanted to take a picture to remember it!

But of course, no photographer would dare to capture this!

He remained unfazed, knowing his own strength was his confidence.

With that thought, Lu Yu’s lips curled slightly under his mask. He released the yellow ribbon from his hand, whispering to himself, “Fear Balloon, activate the Aura of Absorption!”

Ding!

The Fear Balloon didn’t lag behind; the patterns on it glowed. A blood-red ring expanded and enveloped Lu Yu and the balloon, rapidly enlarging!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A terrifying surge of magic rose, scattering the clouds above like a nuclear explosion, sending shockwaves in all directions!

The spiders, including the spider priest, were blown away, crashing to the ground and tumbling several times!

Even the distant humans could feel the magical pressure, staggering back. Some weaker ones collapsed to the ground, while others began to tremble in fear.

This was a two-star monster, the power of the Fear Balloon!

The commander’s eyes widened as he trembled, “This… this power is…?”

“Morning Star level!” the spider priest screeched in fear, its voice filled with disbelief. It began retreating, its eight legs unable to support its weight.

Countless thoughts raced through its mind. It didn’t know why a Morning Star entity had suddenly appeared, but it knew its plan had failed. It had to run!

Run! The farther, the better!

“I haven’t become a Morning Star yet, I can’t die!” it thought as it bolted away, its eight legs propelling it with impressive speed.

But Lu Yu wasn’t about to let it escape. As he subtly squeezed the Fear Balloon, he made sure it didn’t slack off.

True to its purpose, the Fear Balloon expanded further, the blood-red ring rising into the sky, appearing as a blood moon from afar. It resembled a terrible beast with open eyes, scanning for its prey.

Sizzle!

Within the range of the blood moon, every spider monster had blood-colored mist rising from their bodies, being drawn into the sky. Their bodies rapidly withered, like trees losing moisture, transforming into dried husks!

Seeing this, the spider priest was paralyzed with fear. When it tried to flee further, it suddenly realized it had lost all strength!

Looking down, it saw its lower body had withered, and in its frantic escape, it stumbled and fell to the ground.

It could feel its life force being drained with no resistance. Staring in horror with its eight eyes, it could only watch as it was drained of all its vitality, emitting one final cry: “I… won’t accept this…”

Thud!

With the last fall of the spider priest, every spider monster was killed, their life force stripped away and turned into dry corpses!

“What… is this power?” the commander and his men stared in disbelief!

Just moments ago, the powerful, ravaging spider creatures had been effortlessly destroyed by this mysterious figure’s aura!

But this scene felt too much like the descent of some evil god!

Could it truly be the awakening of some evil god?

The thought briefly flashed through the commander’s mind but was quickly discarded. How could an evil god possibly come to save these mere humans? This must be a human expert with some unusual abilities!

Lu Yu had no idea what was going through their minds. Even if he did, he wouldn’t care!

He walked slowly toward the fallen spider monsters, gazing down at the dried-up creatures. He spoke flatly, “When you overstep, you must accept the punishment.”

With that, he gently flicked his finger, and the spider priest’s body shattered. A light, unseen by humans, was gently squeezed in his hand as he turned and left.

Each time he passed a spider monster’s body, it disintegrated into dust. Occasionally, one or two of the bodies would emit a faint glow, as if to honor his departure!

This scene deeply shocked the humans. The commander, now realizing what had happened, immediately shouted, “Who are you, sir?”

“Who am I?” Lu Yu paused as he thought, considering the commander’s impression of him. He might need to approach the extraordinary world through their channel later.

Perhaps, it was time to further solidify his disguise, to have an identity to use in the future.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yu had an idea. He then continued walking, holding the Fear Balloon, and said without turning back, “A forgotten man in this world!”

As he spoke, hellfire began to burn around him, blending black flames and darkness. His figure disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only the destroyed spider corpses.
