Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"You guys are here after all."

The man sat on the ground, leaning against the carriage and looking at Luo Hao. Because of the previous battle, he was accidentally injured by his own people.

"Yes, we have arrived as promised to take the Heart of the God of War. Mr. Millers, on behalf of Rinki, I sincerely thank you, but as a member of Ares, is this worth it?"

"It's not worth it. I just did what I thought was right. I've said it before, I'm tired of the hatred within the tribe. Even though it's for revenge, it ends up spreading the flames of war to innocent people."

The man gave a wry smile, as if narrating the injustices he had suffered in the past.

"But you also betrayed the tribe."

Luo Hao reached out his hand to him. Longing for peace in Linhui, he wanted to accept this like-minded man of another race.

"Come to our place. You have stopped the beginning of a war for us. I believe everyone in Rinhui will accept you as a friend."

But the man did not respond to Luo Hao's expectations. He waved his hand lightly and brushed Luo Hao's invitation aside.

"No, no matter what, as an Ares warrior, I have betrayed my tribe. Moreover, I have killed my own people. Even if I go back with you, I will live in guilt for betrayal. Rather than this, it is better to die bravely."

As he finished speaking, the man put the knife in his hand against his chest, smiled at Luo Hao, and leaned forward.

"Please tell my children that their father was an ordinary man who died at the hands of the enemy during the war."

puff!

Bright red blood slowly flowed down the blade, and time seemed to stand still at this moment. Looking at the man who was dying for glory, Luo Hao was shocked, but he quickly put down his right hand that was raised to stop the man.

He looked up at the night sky covered with dark clouds with a sad expression.

"Don't worry, I will tell them that they once had an ordinary, great father who was willing to sacrifice for his country."

……

Hearing this, the scene fell into silence, and everyone was shocked by Miller's behavior at the time.

At this time, Kailin asked, "So, Kimi's father committed suicide?"

"That's right." Luo Hao nodded, then looked at Kemi and said, "Kemi, you have a great father."

"What about my mother? I heard from Athens that she was also there on that day..." Kami asked again.

Luo Hao shook his head again and said, "Your mother is indeed a pity. We were planning to send your mother and the Heart of the God of War back to Linhui safely, but we never expected that your mother would go into labor at that moment. She gave birth to you, and then Athens arrived with Ares' warriors. In the end, your mother, in order to protect you and not be a burden to us, threatened us with death, so that we could take you and the Heart of the God of War back to Linhui."

"So, you did it?"

"Well, and just after we left, she started to use her sword like your father..." Luo Hao didn't say anything else, because no matter what he said, it would only add to the sadness.

"So that's how it is. They are all trying to stop the tribe's ambitions..."

"That's right." Luo Hao looked at Kami again and said, "Kami, I once promised your parents that I would raise you as an ordinary person. But then again, it's your own choice to do what you want to do. How can I interfere?"

"Whether you were born in a tribe or in Linhui, what matters is your own choice. Only you can decide what kind of person you will become." He said with a smile.

"My choice..." Kami was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Luo Hao smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, there's no need to give an answer so quickly. You're all tired today, so go back and rest first."

"Well, okay then. Please notify us if anything happens." Yaohui said.

Everyone returned to the barracks for a short rest, while Luo Hao gathered all the officials in the barracks and began a long meeting.

……

Athens stood before the altar in the center of the Ares Tribe, watching the five fragments of the God of War's spirit coalescing before him. Suddenly, sensing movement, he leaned slightly toward the narrow slit to the side.

"How's it going? Has the person been caught?"

"I'm sorry, Chief. We sent many of our compatriots, but they were all killed."

"Really? That's a pity, but it doesn't matter. As long as I completely integrate the Heart of the God of War, I can still have the power to rule and overthrow the entire Teyvat." He said, looking at the remnant soul of the God of War in front of him.

"Oh, is that so? It seems our leader is very confident. It's worth all my efforts in helping you find the whereabouts of these five pieces of the War God's soul."

Suddenly, a man walked out from behind Athenus, and he was It.

"Hmph, don't give me that. I am very grateful to you for helping us find the power of our ancestors, but I don't completely trust you because of this, Mr. It of the Fallen Angel Brigade. Or should I call you Doctor?" Athenos turned around and said.

"Don't say that. After all, we are partners now, aren't we?" It said with a smile.

"Cooperation? Haha, do you think I'm a newborn tribal child? Don't think I don't know your plans. You just want to take advantage of the fierce battle between us and the guardians to seize their guardian credentials? I tell you, you're dreaming. Do you think I don't know what you did with those Sanu people in Chicheng? You cooperated with them in an attempt to seize the guardian credentials of the Blood Princess, but what happened? Feng Ling had one arm chopped off by the Blood Princess, and two of your colleagues were seriously injured. Your plan was exposed, and you had no choice but to abandon these guys and let them fend for themselves, which ultimately led to your own destruction and your own grave."

"Oh, so the leader is really well-informed." He said with his arms folded.

"Of course. Don't underestimate our tribe's intelligence network. Although it's a pity that those parasites died, I won't follow in their footsteps after learning from their past mistakes. I'm not afraid to tell you that as long as I have the power of the God of War, I will be able to rival all the guardians. By then, don't even think about you dodging the brigade. Even this false "order" will be completely overthrown by me with my own hands!" said Athens.

On the other hand, Ite acted nonchalant and said, "Really? That's up to you, but those guys are not easy to deal with."

"That's not your concern!" said Athens, folding his arms.

"Well, okay, okay, since you said so, then no matter what I say, it will be boring. But I really didn't expect that the girl is from your God of War tribe. No wonder she has power similar to that of the God of War Ares." It waved his hand and said.

Athenus turned around and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that the traitor's daughter is still alive."

"Traitor?" It asked doubtfully.

"Yes, he is indeed a warrior that our tribe is proud of, but he has been tarnished by Ares's glory. Back then, he had been secretly trying every possible means to prevent us from avenging our ancestors. He always thought I couldn't see his tricks, because he didn't go too far. But at his wit's end, he actually chose to cooperate with the Linhui Army. Fortunately, he finally came to his senses and chose to commit suicide in the name of the God of War. But now his daughter is just as stubborn as he is. Come to think of it, I really shouldn't have considered family ties and asked him to escort the Heart of the God of War."

"So that's how it is. It's really been a rollercoaster ride." It said with a smile, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" asked Athenus.

"Of course it's in jail. Although we are in a cooperative relationship, we still have to play our part. But I'm really looking forward to what happens next." He smiled meaningfully, then turned and left.

Watching the other party's departing back, Athenos snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, you fallen angel insect! Once I have synthesized the complete Heart of the God of War, you won't have to worry about anything anymore..."
