Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

"Rest assured, everyone. With me and many soldiers at the front, no one can harm you! Shura is with you!"

"Asura is with you!"

As the majestic voice of the blue sky rang out, many Asura Knights also shouted in response, which gave Gui Zhong and the many workers behind them a strong sense of security.

"Wow, is this the protection from the God of War? It makes me feel so safe!"

"That's right. Didn't you see the eyes of the many knights under the God of War? They've clearly seen blood before."

"Yes, yes, and judging from their posture, they were definitely trained by the God of War himself. They are comparable to the Thousand Rock Army under the Emperor."

"Yes, my son was in there too. I almost didn't recognize him. His demeanor has changed so much."

"No, no, my daughter in the Asura Palace told me that the God of War and the Emperor are close friends. Although the God of War is the Lord of the Asura Palace and the Emperor is the leader of the Thousand Rock Army, the God of War sometimes trains the Thousand Rock Army with the Emperor."

"It's really true. I've seen the God of War and the Emperor training the soldiers together before."

……

Looking at the blue sky and numerous Shura Knights guarding them ahead, the workers exchanged their opinions on the breathtaking scenes they had just witnessed while working. Without exception, they all praised the blue sky and its Shura Knights.

"Wow...so amazing..."

Gui Zhong, who was still in mid-air, shocked by Lan Tian and the others' actions, came to his senses and stared at Lan Tian's back in front of him with starry eyes, and murmured to himself.

Gui, who was already somewhat restless, could no longer sit still after Lan Tian arrived with his troops. He stood up and, along with his flying sword, came to Lan Tian's side, looking him up and down and occasionally poking or touching Lan Tian's armor.

Lan Tian's originally serious expression crumbled instantly after Gui Zhong's baffling actions that lasted for an hour. He looked at Gui Zhong, whose eyes were sparkling as if he'd found a treasure, with a wry smile, and said helplessly:

"Gui Zhong, if you keep going like this, I'm in a difficult position. Haven't you already seen my elemental weaponry?"

"But I've never seen you like this before. I heard you say you had two sets of elemental weapons, but I've only seen one set so far."

Gui Zhong, looking somewhat strained, carried the Blue Sky Black Rock Heavy Shield, examining it as he replied.

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.

[I...it seems I've never let Gui Zhong know about my Rock Armor...]

Blanching was too hasty!

I almost forgot that he had almost always appeared in front of Gui Zhong in either his Torrent Armor or civilian clothes, and he had almost never summoned his Rock Armor. No wonder Gui Zhong reacted this way, as if he had discovered a new mechanical creation.

"Ahem... Sorry, it's my fault. I forgot to tell Gui Zhong what my Rock Armor looks like."

"Hehe, it's okay, at least I know now. He's really handsome, he gives me a similar vibe to Morax. By the way, where's Morax?"

Upon hearing Lan Tian's slightly embarrassed tone, Gui Zhong chuckled and laboriously placed the Xuan Yan Heavy Shield back onto Lan Tian's back, then returned to Lan Tian's side and said.

"Morax led a large number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers to the other side of Guixiuli. Like me, they are protecting the safety of many workers, but he has more people on his side than I do."

Blue Sky answered the question of returning to the end.

"No wonder I didn't see him. So he went to the other side of Guixiuli. Lantian, can you tell me about the connection between the Thousand Rock Army and the Shura Palace? Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen so many Shura Knights and the Thousand Rock Army mobilized."

Seeing Gui Zhong's slightly curious expression, Lan Tian couldn't help but smile and tease him:

"It is my honor as your younger brother to be able to answer the questions of such a beautiful sister as Gui Zhong."

"Pfft, hahaha, you brat, you're so glib, you deserve a beating."

Gui Zhong covered his mouth and chuckled upon hearing this, playfully giving Lan Tian a light punch on the right shoulder. Lan Tian, ​​in turn, skillfully removed the armor from the area Gui Zhong had hit, careful not to hurt Gui Zhong's hand, even though Gui Zhong was a demon god.

This also shows that the two often played around like this.

"Haha, stop fooling around, I'm going to start talking."

"Yeah, tell me."

Upon hearing this, Gui Zhong obediently sat on the flying sword that had been waiting for a long time, just like a student listening to a teacher's lecture.

Lan Tian began his explanation in a calm but slightly serious tone:

"The Thousand Rock Army is a powerful army under Morax, which obeys Morax's orders. Its members are mainly selected from the people of the territory. All members are equipped with spears and armor. Their main duties are to eliminate monsters near the perimeter of the territory or to protect the security of the territory's perimeter and to fight as the first line of defense when the territory is attacked by the enemy."

The Asura Hall is a special army led and commanded by me, the God of Asura. Although its numbers are less than half that of the Thousand Rock Army, each member is composed of the best selected from the Yaksha clan or the Thousand Rock Army. Its main duties are to hunt down dangerous special monsters, protect the territory, and serve as a second line of defense to support and cooperate with the Thousand Rock Army in battle…”

In fact, everyone below could clearly hear Lan Tian and Gui Zhong's conversation.

Upon hearing Lan Tian's explanation of the connection between the Thousand Rock Army and the Asura Palace, many workers stopped what they were doing and began to listen attentively.

The numerous Asura Knights standing before the city wall raised their heads with a hint of pride, appearing quite self-assured. Meanwhile, the Yakshas among the Asura Knights wore expressions of reminiscence and gratitude, as if recalling the scene when they were pulled from the clutches of the Dream Demon by the Blue Sky and redeemed.

After Lan Tian finished speaking, all the workers, like Gui Zhong in front of Lan Tian, ​​showed an expression of sudden realization.

Many workers silently marveled at the prestige and greatness of the Emperor and the God of War.

Gui Zhong initially showed an expression of admiration, but quickly became somewhat disappointed, as if he had thought of something.

Seeing Gui Zhong's slightly disappointed expression, Lan Tian continued speaking, once again attracting everyone's attention.

"However... although you ultimately do not have your own army, you and your mastery of mechanical engineering are comparable to many of our soldiers. In time, when you are able to create powerful defensive mechanical weapons, the strength of the Thousand Rock Army and the Asura Knights will rise to an unimaginable level, and you may even achieve the feat of being able to rival a demon god with a mortal body."

Upon hearing this, Gui Zhong and the crowd below all showed astonished expressions, staring at the blue sky in disbelief.

After all, it would be unbelievable to anyone that a mortal could be compared to a demon god.

"Never underestimate any mechanical arts or mortals. Given enough time, they can create many miracles."

Lan Tian said with a touch of emotion, while involuntarily thinking about the country of "Kanria" that would appear later in the story.
