Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"boom!"

It was as if a thunderclap exploded in everyone's hearts, and the entire place fell into a dead silence. Everyone stared wide-eyed, speechless at the scene. Athens, who had just pounced like a ferocious beast with overwhelming power, was repelled by Ares's earth-shattering move.

At this moment, Athens seemed to have suffered a powerful impact and flew several meters away.

"No, this is impossible. How could this happen?" Athens struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with shock and resentment, a trace of blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't believe that he, possessing the boundless power of a god of war, could be so easily defeated by Ares, who only had a shimmering spirit and looked weakened.

Ares stood firmly, spear in hand, his chest rising and falling slightly. Though the attack had seemed effortless, it had consumed a great deal of his energy. But his gaze remained resolute, revealing an undeniable majesty. He looked at Athenus and spoke slowly, "Nothing is impossible. Your power may be great, but it has blinded you. How can a puppet understand true strength?"

When Athenus heard what Ares said, he was furious.

"You're talking nonsense! A guy with only a few remaining souls dares to speak so arrogantly in front of me. This is just your luck, I won't give you another chance." Athens roared.

An even stronger black light emanated from his body, like a surging black tide, constantly rolling and surging, seemingly ready to completely submerge Ares. He gripped the weapon tightly in his hand, and the weapon, illuminated by the black light, looked even more hideous and terrifying.

At this moment, he once again hovered in the air, the weapon in his hand transformed into a holy spear. It wasn't a ray of hope, but a harbinger of death and destruction. The light stained the sky in darkness, as if the entire world was controlled by the holy spear in his hand.

"This time, I won't give you another chance!"

The sky was covered with light, but that light was not a symbol of brightness, but a veil of darkness, shrouding the entire world in a shadow of despair.

"No way, is this guy coming again?" Mo Yan asked in surprise.

He looked at Ares again, only to see him pick up the javelin in his hand and look up at the sky. Just as he was about to throw the javelin in an attempt to stop Athens, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Damn it, at this time..."

"What's going on? Has he run out of strength?" Mo Yan thought.

If it weren't for Ares, everyone would have been crushed to dust under the pressure of the Holy Lance. But now that Ares has lost his means of defense, how can they withstand this devastating blow?

Everyone was trembling under this powerful force, and just when Athens was about to bring down the holy spear, a burst of thunder suddenly dispersed the aura around him!

"what?"

Boom!

A bolt of red lightning struck, instantly knocking Athenos back to the ground. At that moment, everyone looked up into the sky with eyes filled with confusion and astonishment, and the next second, they were completely stunned.

The clouds gathered like a storm, and there seemed to be the sound of galloping war horses. At this time, thunder exploded again, and the two combined to play a symphony that shook the world.

"How could this happen? Could it be..." Athenus lay prone on the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked up into the air. He tried to rise again, but the combined force of thunder and horse hooves seemed to suppress his elemental power. He struggled, his hands digging deep marks into the ground, but his body could hardly move at all.

Gradually, a white-haired girl appeared in the clouds. She was wearing a red and black thunder armor, riding a thunder horse, and stopped in the air.

"Xueyan?" Li Xueqi exclaimed as she looked at the girl in the air.

"Do you know each other?" Kailin asked.

"Of course, she is Lei Zun." Tianlang replied calmly.

"What? You said she's the same as you..."

At this moment, the girl slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes. Those eyes were so red they seemed to be dripping with blood. Against the backdrop of the surrounding dark clouds, they looked like two burning blood diamonds, emitting a chilling murderous aura.

Her gaze was like a sharp arrow, coldly sweeping across Athens on the ground. Just this one glance made Athens feel a little fear.

She sat atop the Thunder Horse, her figure erect as a pine tree. Her red and black armor hummed softly, as if responding to the dominance in her master's eyes. The Thunder Horse, sensing its master's will, raised its front hooves high and let out a deafening neigh. The sound echoed through the sky like thunder, blending with the thunder in the clouds and making the entire world tremble.

But Athenus did not shy away. Instead, he raised his spear and pointed it towards the sky, saying, "Haha, I never thought we'd even alarmed the Thunder Lord this time. But so what? As long as I have the power of the God of War, none of you can stand against me!"

Lei Zun looked down at Atreus on the ground quietly as if she was looking down at an ant. She did not say anything, but just waved her right hand lightly, and summoned thousands of heavenly thunders.

Ten thousand crimson thunderbolts surged out from the clouds like a raging crimson tide, each one seemingly condensed from pure destructive force. With overwhelming force, they tore through the dark sky, breaking through the black veil that enveloped the world, and with a chilling roar, surged towards Athens.

"What...ah!"

Athens' eyes widened in fear, and he tried to raise his holy spear to resist. But before the red thunder of Lei Zun, his proud power as a god of war was as ridiculous as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

He screamed in despair, but his voice was instantly drowned out by the roar of red thunder.

Athens struggled under the baptism of the red thunder. In an instant, a blinding crimson light erupted, as if the entire world was engulfed in this red flame. Under the bombardment of the red thunder, Athens' body was completely submerged before he could even struggle.

The body that was once so invincible and attempted to destroy everything was instantly reduced to nothing by the power of the red thunder, leaving behind only a huge crater formed by the bombardment of thousands of thunders and a crown called the heart of the "God of War".

Lei Zun sat quietly on the Thunder Horse, his blood-red eyes still cold, as if he had just done something insignificant.

Looking at what was happening before their eyes, everyone except Tianlang, Yaohui and the other two were so shocked that they were speechless. It took them a long time to come back to their senses.

They looked up at the sky, and after confirming that Athenus had completely fallen, Lei Zun waved his hand to reverse the wind and clouds, and then the dark clouds wrapped her and the Thunder Horse again. When the wind and waves disappeared, she completely disappeared without a trace.
