Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

After all, this is the only hobby of her own god. Although she was quite helpless about Venti's seemingly unserious nature, Jean, knowing that Venti wasn't really slacking off all the time, didn't intend to deprive her god of his only pleasure.

However, some restrictions are necessary, since it wouldn't be good if Mondstadt's Anemo Archon was a drunkard who spent all his time in a wine vat.

Instead of drinking, you'd be better off helping her with the work!

Of course, even so, Wendy still showed a very grateful expression. Judging from his appearance, Su Feng even suspected that if Jean put in a little more effort, she could have used PUA on him.

However, whether Wendy would also be controlled by Jean was not on Su Feng's mind. Right now, he was having a great time chatting with Ying.

"So, what are your plans for your next trip to Inazuma?"

"Yes, Wendy, Zhongli, and I asked about Inazuma and Thor. We were planning to go to Inazuma, but unfortunately, the Southern Cross fleet has no plans to go there recently because of the disaster in Liyue. So I was wondering if you had any way to help me get to Inazuma."

Ying was also overwhelmed by the multitude of problems she was facing, especially considering that Liyue was still in the midst of various disaster relief efforts. She could guess that for a long time to come, the only fleet that could reach Inazuma would probably not set sail.

So, having no other choice, Ying decided to ask Su Feng for help—actually, asking Wendy for help was also an option, but considering that she had just suggested that Su Feng quit drinking, Ying decisively changed her target.

Otherwise, if it really falls into Wendy's hands, it will probably be subjected to a lot of trouble.

"A country sealed off by thunderstorms... that sounds quite interesting. In that case, let's go take a look. I don't have much to do in Mondstadt right now."

After Ying gave a brief explanation of Inazuma's background, Su Feng became interested. He was also quite interested in this Thunder Kingdom, which was located outside the continent, and the idea of ​​thunderstorms sounded very intriguing.

Moreover, after seeing Zahaka's remains as an example, Su Feng's interest in Inazuma grew even stronger—what if he could find something related to the Herrscher of Thunder in Inazuma?

If that were the case, he might be able to control one more Herrscher core, which would be the best thing for Su Feng, who is dedicated to completely mastering and digesting the 'Cocoon'.

"That's good."

Ying breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Su Feng was willing to give her a ride and even planned to go to Inazuma together.

She had previously planned to go to other countries if she still couldn't find a way to get to Inazuma.

It seems there's no need to change the itinerary now.

So now it's time to get some rest and head to that island nation surrounded by thunder!

★ An island nation shrouded in endless thunder★

Chapter One: Attempting to illegally cross the border will be punished.

"So that's Inatsuma?"

With Su Feng's help, Paimon, soaring high in the sky, looked at the series of islands in the distance, surrounded by thick dark clouds and endless thunder, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Although he knew that the power of the gods was quite great, even Paimon, who was used to seeing big scenes, was startled when he saw the thunderstorm that directly enveloped the entire country.

After all, such a large-scale, seemingly endless thunderstorm is terrifying. If Paimon's little arms and legs were caught in it, he would probably be electrocuted to a crisp in an instant.

Despite having heard that Inazuma was blocked by a thunderstorm, Paimon and Hotaru were still terrified by the apocalyptic scene before them.

After all, the lightning that falls in the mortal world is already considered powerful, but now the thunderstorm surrounding the entire Inazuma is not only not weaker, but its quantity is also unimaginable.

Even Ying, after a brief assessment, realized that if she were to recklessly venture into the thunderstorm's area in her current state, she would likely end up covered in dust and dirt—and that's assuming the thunderstorm is uncontrolled.

Ying didn't think that Inazuma Raigami, who could create such a large-scale thunderstorm, would lack the ability to control these thunderstorms specifically to target outsiders.

As expected, Inazuma's Thor power is also quite strong, at least on par with the level of power shown by Wendy and Zhongli before.

However, to be able to go through a thunderstorm of this magnitude and retrieve it himself, the Dragon King of Liyue must be no ordinary person.

Fortunately, Ying doesn't have to worry so much this time—they flew over from high above with Su Feng, so they don't have to face such a terrible thunderstorm.

Ying breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing this.

Unfortunately, before she could catch her breath, the dark clouds that had been churning beneath their feet suddenly stopped, and then thousands of purple lightning bolts burst forth from the clouds, rushing directly towards them high in the sky, defying all the laws of nature, to Ying and Paimon's horrified gaze.

"!"

Ying, who had just been thinking about what would happen when facing a thunderstorm, was completely stunned after seeing this scene. Her thin lips involuntarily parted to express her surprise.

Perhaps it was because this scene was so illogical that they didn't even have time to react when the terrifying thunderstorm turned into an ocean and rushed towards them.

"Watch out, we've been discovered, and it seems that General Thunder isn't very welcoming to us."

Ying and Paimon didn't react in time, but Su Feng noticed it as soon as the Thunder General's consciousness gradually shifted here. At first, Su Feng thought that the other party just wanted to give him a slight warning or confirm whether he was a threat to Inazuma, but he never expected that the other party would start fighting right away.

Fortunately, what General Thunder projected was only a part of his consciousness. Although this was considered to be the enemy's home turf, the power that could be used was limited.

This amount of power is not enough to do anything to Su Feng.

"Come chase me with the wind!"

After giving Ying and Paimon a brief reminder, Su Feng quickly shifted his attention to the lightning that was pouring down like a tidal wave.

The breeze surrounding the three suddenly accelerated, and then Su Feng and the others transformed into a streak of emerald light, gliding directly through the high sky.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The relentless lightning bolts that were chasing them had become so powerful that they began to dye everything around them purple with the color of lightning. Unfortunately, Su Feng and the others were like passengers on a slide, moving forward smoothly and quickly.

The incredibly swift lightning bolts were always just a hair's breadth away from catching up with Su Feng's pace, but they could never make up for that tiny gap.

Even amidst countless thunderbolts, Su Feng could always find loopholes that shouldn't exist, and then easily seize that one in a million chance.

This kind of near-death experience was really too exciting. Even though Su Feng was carrying her at an unimaginable speed, Ying, who could still catch a glimpse of the outside world, felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

This is too nerve-wracking! Ying is certain that if Su Feng had made even one mistake just now, they would have been wrecked by the lightning unleashed by this Thor—they might not have been eliminated instantly, but they would certainly have been covered in dust and dirt.

Judging from the current situation outside, the other party does seem to be willing to take care of the three of them right here and now.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Perhaps realizing that it was impossible to catch Su Feng if things continued like this, after a short pause, more lightning bolts joined in the pursuit and interception of Su Feng—it seems that this Inazuma Thunder God will not stop until he catches these guys who are illegally racing in the sky and fines them.

"This is going to be troublesome."

Su Feng was now scratching his head, not expecting General Thunder to be so persistent.

Actually, he could understand why General Raiden didn't want him to join Inazuma—after all, Su Feng's strength was undeniable, and General Raiden didn't know him. For General Raiden, who pursued eternity, an unknown and uncontrollable powerhouse was an unacceptable variable.

At first, Su Feng didn't resist because he wanted to show that he had no ill intentions, but now it seems that his expression has not put General Lei Dian at ease. If that's the case, he will have to choose other methods.

"I'll take you to the island first. It looks like I won't be able to get rid of General Thunder anytime soon. You guys go have some fun on your own, but remember to be careful!"

Since we're going to choose other methods of communication, the first thing to do is naturally to unload the cargo. After all, taking Luminous and Paimon to fight a god who is absolutely formidable in Teyvat is not a good choice.

Su Feng believed he wouldn't lose to General Thunder, and in fact, he had a higher chance of winning in a life-or-death struggle. However, Su Feng wasn't here to risk his life against Inazuma's Thunder God. So, he planned to first test his skills against this Thunder God who would draw his sword at the slightest provocation, and then try to communicate properly once the other party realized that he couldn't be dealt with.

"I understand. Then you need to be careful."

Ying and Paimon knew that they would only be a burden to Su Feng, so they didn't hesitate at all. However, before Su Feng 'unloaded' them, Paimon looked at him with concern.

"You really have to come find us soon! I'd love to treat you to something delicious!"

Without a doubt, for Paimon to say such a thing means that Su Feng is indeed a very good friend in her eyes. It wouldn't be easy for an ordinary person to get Paimon to say such a thing.

"Haha, even if it means spending money on our little Pai, I'll definitely come."

Su Feng, surprised that he had already gained a certain status in Paimon's heart, glanced at the guy in surprise, but soon he smiled happily.

It does feel good to be remembered.

Feeling very happy, Su Feng quickly sent a wisp of breeze to wrap around Ying and Paimeng. With Su Feng's help, they flew directly towards Inazuma below.

Protected by the wind released by Su Feng, even if one or two bolts of lightning occasionally chased after them, they would not be harmed.

Moreover, General Thunder's attention is currently focused on Su Feng.

One or two mere mortals could not possibly affect Inazuma's eternity, and even if Inazuma were put in, what difference would it make? This was the truest thought of General Thunder, who was wholeheartedly preparing to deal with Su Feng.

"Well... Lord Mikage Narukami, I hope you can give me a little surprise!"

After seeing Ying and Paimon off, Su Feng finally stopped. Looking at the thunder surrounding him from all directions and the will of Narukami hidden within the thunder, he sincerely extended this invitation.

"First of all, let me, who has been watching you for so long, say hello!"

"See the stars shatter!"

"Similar to a black hole!"

Then, endless darkness instantly swallowed all the incoming lightning; before the heaviest celestial body in the universe, everything was illusory.

Chapter Two: General Thunder Relentlessly

Su Feng did not unleash the simulated black hole to its fullest extent. After all, he only wanted to spar with Thor to prove his strength, and he did not intend to really break ties with Thor and fight to the death.

If that were the case, Su Feng seriously suspected that he had just dealt with Thor, and the next second either Thor would be resurrected in front of him, or those guys in the sky would directly put him in Thor's position.

Su Feng, who believed he had no grudge against Thor, did not want things to come to this point, as it would not benefit him in any way.

Even without the simulated black hole operating at full power, it was still not something that ordinary lightning could handle. Even though the lightning driven by General Thunder was now so dense that it could affect the elemental balance in the high sky, it still couldn't make a splash when faced with the simulated black hole, which could easily swallow even the abyss.

General Thunder naturally did not expect that Su Feng had such a trick up his sleeve. The thunder that had previously blotted out the sky was completely dealt with in the blink of an eye. In fact, because too much thunder element was taken away, the monstrous thunderstorm that had previously enveloped the entire Inazuma region immediately weakened by several levels.

Su Feng's methods clearly exceeded Thor's expectations. Even though he knew that this amount of lightning couldn't do anything to Su Feng, being unable to do anything to him and Su Feng easily destroying the thunderstorm that enveloped Inazuma in the blink of an eye are two different things.

This is a formidable opponent who is on par with himself!

General Thunder quickly realized how terrifying Su Feng was. He had only vaguely sensed Su Feng's strength before, but he finally realized that this opponent was extraordinary.

However, faced with Su Feng, who had demonstrated his power, Raiden General, who only mechanically and rigidly pursued the path of eternity, did not hesitate to pick up his naginata and appear on the castle tower.

"Boom!"

Under the will of the Thunder General, fierce and terrifying thunder suddenly resounded throughout Inazuma once again. Heavy dark clouds and dark purple lightning that once again filled the sky caused the residents of Narukami Island to kneel down in fear almost immediately.

Because they knew that the general was angry!

General Thunder paid no attention to the reaction of his people. Now, with only Su Feng far away in his eyes, he coldly raised Hua Gui's naginata. Endless lightning elements gathered on the blade under his will.

Perhaps because the amount of lightning elements gathered was so great, the originally dark purple lightning quickly began to flash with black light after being compressed and concentrated to the extreme.

Once enough lightning element had been gathered, the general, with his usual cold expression, swung down his naginata.

"cut off!"

The cold words, accompanied by the extreme lightning element, drew a straight line in the air—the speed of this strike was simply too fast. Everyone on Narukami Island only felt the sky darken slightly, and when they came to their senses again, all they could see was the blade mark that still bore obvious traces of purple lightning.

"The Way of the Lord is great, and the God of Ming is eternal!"

A deathly silence echoed across Narukami Island for a moment, but soon endless fervor filled the air once more. Although this was not the legendary, unparalleled strike, the slash, seemingly possessing the power to cleave heaven and earth, still caused the Inazuma people, who revered the Thunder God, to condense their faith and fervor into these mere eight words.
