Genshin Impact: Awakening in the Darkness

If Yavis rushed into the battlefield, Morax's side only had him as a top-tier demon god, but ultimately he wasn't a combat type and was just stalling for the familiars.

"Joyavis!" Liu Yun noticed the black figure flying into the battlefield, and in that moment of distraction, an attack was upon him. At that moment, a sword flew over, piercing through the attacking enemy.

"Don't get distracted on the battlefield," Royavis transmitted, as another purplish-black sword materialized in his hand. He charged towards the Mirror Demon God, who was gathering power.

"You're still alive!" The Mirror Demon God recognized the figure immediately as the one the Dream Demon God had sent to kill. But his presence here proved the plan had failed.

Joavis frowned, his swordplay growing even more ferocious, each strike capable of cleaving the nearby mountains in two. The Mirror Demon's heart skipped a beat: (Wasn't this guy supposed to be non-combat type? Could it be that the Dream Demon lied to me!) Distracted, the Mirror Demon's spear was deflected, and then Joavis pierced its chest with his sword.

Morax was fighting the Dream Demon and the Mountain Demon when he caught a glimpse of that scene. His eyes widened in shock: "Royavis! Get out of the way!"

"!" Upon hearing Morax's shout, Joavius ​​was about to draw his sword when a hand grabbed him.

"Too late!" the Mirror Demon chuckled evilly. Noavis immediately severed his arm and swiftly retreated.

"I never imagined you possessed so much power," the Mirror Demon's body began to split, creating five fragments of mirrors that floated in the air. "Then let's see if you can defeat so many of yourselves." As soon as he finished speaking, a figure identical to Noahsev emerged from each mirror.

"Come on, let's see if so many versions of yourself can defeat yourself, hahahaha." The mirror began to laugh wickedly.

"Troublesome." Joavis remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever. A chill began to emanate from his surroundings, and simultaneously, the five replicas of the Mirror Demon God also emitted a chilling aura, rushing towards Joavis. Joavis instantly vanished from his spot, reappearing in the sky, bow and arrow in hand, firing at the five replicas before disappearing again. The five replicas easily blocked Joavis's attack, but seeing no sign of him, they began to look around.

"Lesser Yin, Condensed Purity." A clear voice rang out, and by the time the five replicas reacted, countless ice swords had already pierced their bodies, then turned into specks of fluorescent light. Meanwhile, a patch of white appeared in Ruyavis's eyes, and the sword he held was no longer the purplish-black one, but a sword with a silver-white hilt and a black blade, inlaid with a gem that was emitting a gray light.

The five mirror fragments instantly coalesced into the Mirror Demon God. This time, he broke out in a cold sweat. He was a high-level peak Demon God, so the Demon God authority he copied was at most within the realm of a high-level Demon God. Even a top-tier Demon God like Morax would be stunned for a long time and expend considerable effort to defeat him. However, the Demon God before him only possessed the aura of a high-level Demon God, but he seemed to be very aware of his weaknesses, and his combat skills were definitely not those of a newly born Demon God, as the Dream Demon God had claimed.

(Run!) This was the thought of the Mirror Demon God, who used the authority of the Dream Demon God he had copied earlier to launch a mental attack on Noavis.

"Oh dear, this poor fellow, trying to attack you with dreams, too bad, this is my home turf!" Xuan Yue unfolded her fan in Noah's consciousness and threw it, cleaving the energy ball of the dream.

"Thank you," Xuanqing said to Xuanyue.

"Let's resolve this as soon as possible. I feel that if we continue fighting, we have no chance of winning. After all, we are not suited for a protracted war."

"Hmm." Joavis glanced at the Mirror Demon God, but did not chase after him as he flew away. He quickly flew into the sky.

"Morax, hold those three back," Joavis telepathically instructed Morax.

"Alright." Morax distanced himself from the Dream Demon's minions and the Mountain Demon who were fighting him, and threw a rock spear in the direction of the Mirror Demon. The Mirror Demon immediately split into countless mirror fragments and fled in all directions.

“Even a moment is enough.” As soon as Joavis finished speaking, a terrifying pressure surged around him. Peak High-Level Demon God, Early Stage Top-Tier Demon God, Mid-Stage Top-Tier Demon God, Peak Top-Tier Demon God. This pressure made the Dream Demon God and the Mountain Demon God breathless, not to mention the Mirror Demon God, whose mirror lens could barely move an inch. Morax could barely stand, flying in the air.

"This is!" Not only Morax was shocked, but the other immortals and Gui Zhong could only helplessly look up at the black figure in the sky.

"Eternal Night! Descends!" The clouds in the sky began to swirl, turning the daytime into overcast skies, and then into endless darkness. Gale-force winds raged all around, but the demon god in the sky remained unaffected. His body visibly grew until he reached his early twenties, at which point it stopped. His black robes transformed into a dark mist surrounding him, and his white robes became stained with blood, making his power even more sinister. He stepped down, walking step by step to the fragments of the Mirror Demon God. With a wave of his hand, the Mirror Demon God reappeared.

“Disqualify.” Joavis’s tone was exceptionally cold.

"No...no! Ah!" The Mirror Demon began to scream in agony, then was thrown down.

"No! My authority! My power!" The Mirror Demon tried to unleash his power, but he only felt emptiness. Then, with a casual slash, the Mirror Demon fell.

Then he walked step by step toward the Mountain Demon God, who was pressed down and unable to move. Unable to resist, he too was stripped of his authority.

"Mountain Demon God, your infamy is far-reaching, and countless innocent humans have died at your hands. Today, I will let you taste what it feels like to fall because of your own power." After saying this, Joavis conjured a massive mountain above the Mountain Demon God's head.

"No, no! Spare me! I'll never do it again! Ah!" The Mountain Demon pleaded helplessly, but could not stop the mountain from falling. The Mountain Demon perished.

Morax watched all this from mid-air, his eyes reflecting Joavis's figure, his expression complex.

When the Dream Demon God saw that he was alone, Noahs also walked towards him.

"If I die, all these people below will have to be buried with me. Only I can lift the ban. Once you strip me of my authority, none of them will survive!"

Jojavis stopped in his tracks after hearing this.

"Hahahaha, so what if you're stronger than me? If I die, they'll die too. Don't you have to worry about these ants? Hahahahahaha... Uh." Just as the Dream Demon God was laughing madly, Noyavis reached out and grabbed his neck, lifting him up, while his other hand pierced his chest.

"What does that have to do with me?" The cold voice rang out, which also provoked Morax.

"Joavis!" Morax shouted, immediately flying down to grab the hand that was holding the Dream Demon God, "Let's spare his life for now, and figure out the rest later. You can't kill him now."

"Did you...did you hear that? You...can't kill me yet," the Dream Demon God said weakly, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

"Disqualify!" Joavis's ethereal voice rang out.

"Joavis!" Morax shouted.

"Ah!" the Dream Demon cried out in pain.

"Ah!" The remaining surviving family members also cried out in pain.

But none of this could prevent the energy sphere of the Dream Demon God's authority from being stripped away and suspended in mid-air.

"No...no!" the Dream Demon cried out in agony, but Ruyavis did not kill him. Instead, he lifted the energy ball and flew upwards.

"You can't take it! You can't! It's mine!" the Dream Demon God continued to shout in anguish.

"It's up to you." Joavis closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Xuan Yue was in control. The mist around him turned white, his clothes were bathed in golden light, and his eyes were a gentle blue.

"Shaoyang! Break the Heavens!" The sword in 'Rhoyavis's' hand had changed its appearance; the hilt had turned gold, the blade white with a silver sheen, and the gemstone was now imbued with a silvery glow. It soared into the sky with a sharp point, and the next moment, blinding sunlight shone down, bathing all the agonizing, screaming followers in white light. Their pain vanished, purified, and both humans and immortals who had fought regained their strength and stamina. The oppressive aura disappeared, and everyone flew towards them.

Morax stared at the figure high in the sky, his heart still reeling from the shock.

"No, this is impossible! How could there be such a demon god in this world!" The Dream Demon God continued to scream in agony. He couldn't believe that his authority had been stripped away, and that he had suffered such a crushing defeat. Morax showed no mercy, ending his life with a single shot. The intense resentment vanished without a trace the instant it collided with the light.

"Hey, who is this Demon God? He's amazing! My injuries are all healed now, and I feel like I can fight again."

"Me too, and that oppressive aura before was terrifying, it was pressing down on three demon gods!"

"Yes, yes, we in Liyue are so lucky to have such a Demon God. I think we should also give this person a title, just like the Emperor."

"That's a good idea. Since this Demon God's combat power is comparable to that of the Emperor, how about calling him Lord Mingye?"

"That's a good idea, let's call him Lord Mingye."

Several humans were raising their arms and shouting the name of Mingye Tianjun.

At this moment, 'Joavis' flew down from the sky and transformed back into the original Joavis.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" 'Joyavis' looked at the solemn-faced demons and immortals and helplessly shrugged.

"Are you really Joavis?" Gui Zhong asked, somewhat uncertainly.

“To be precise, yes,” 'Joyavis' said.

"And what about your current attire?" Liu Yun couldn't help but ask.

“Well…” Just as 'Joavis' was about to speak, a sharp headache began to spread. “Ugh!” 'Joavis' couldn’t help but frown.

"What's wrong?" Morax immediately grabbed his hand and transferred energy to him while sensing his physical condition. He immediately discovered that his divine power was exhausted and that his very essence was damaged.

“I shouldn’t have let you do that,” Morax sighed.

“You’re saying the same thing as that guy.” ’Joavis’s’ lips twitched.

"What?" Morax didn't understand.

"Go back and rest." Xuan Qing's voice came through her mind. Xuan Yue knew his current condition and didn't dare to push herself, so she agreed.

Joavis completed the swap right under their noses, transforming back into the black-robed Joavis.

"Thank you." Joavis's voice remained cold and flat as he withdrew his hand from Morax's grasp.

"Wait, what's going on?!" Gui Zhong stared wide-eyed at Ruoyavis in disbelief.

"Shouldn't you explain?" Morax remained as still as a stone, expressionless.

“It’s very simple. The previous Joavis was my other half of my soul.” Joavis said simply, and sighed when he saw the still silent crowd in front of him: “I split my soul in two, and at the same time I divided my authority into two parts. The part that leans towards darkness is controlled by me, and the part that leans towards light is controlled by him. Do you understand now?”

"Understood." Everyone nodded.

"But why did you split your soul in two? Not only will your strength weaken, but you might also perish," Gui Zhong asked, his face full of confusion.

"Because I need someone to keep my current personality in check. If I ever lose control, he can replace me, devour my current personality, and become Joavis again. Is that a valid reason?" Joavis calmly delivered an answer that left everyone present speechless.

"Are you crazy?!" Liu Yun couldn't help but exclaim.

“You don’t need to do that,” Morax also said.

"Morax, you don't need to make that face. I've never survived this long because of luck." After saying that, Joavis walked away.

"Where are you going?" Gui Zhong couldn't help but ask.

"Go back to the cave."

"Why not fly?" Liu Yun asked.

“My divine power is exhausted.” With that, Joavis was about to leave. Morax grabbed his wrist without a word, picked him up with one hand, and flew away.

"Liu Yun, have we forgotten something?" Gui Zhong asked.

"Oh... Ah! The Emperor didn't say how to arrange for those relatives, send a message quickly!"

Liu Yun and Gui Zhong began to panic.
