Since Mu Yang had appeared so rarely.

And he was not even a playable character.

There was barely any discussion about him in the strategy section.

After all, normal players still had to grind monsters.

And they did not want to waste resources.

So the strategy section had not yet reached the point of obsessing over unreleased characters.

Mu Yang browsed the posts for a while longer before going to sleep.

Early the next morning.

Mu Yang had just finished breakfast.

When the system started chattering noisily again.

"Go check out your fan creations! Go check out your fan creations!"

Mu Yang tidied up his room first.

Then brewed a pot of tea.

Only then did he sit down leisurely.

Ready to see whether the fan creations were outrageous enough.

Still, was this not a little too fast?

"It has not even been two days, and there are already fan creations to watch?"

System: "Do not underestimate the Blue Planet people's ability to create chaos!"

"Really, I mainly just opened up model downloads for them."

"They did not need to make the models themselves, so naturally it was faster."

Mu Yang: "Is it the kind that can pass review?"

"I would not dare watch it otherwise."

System: "What are you thinking? How could videos be like that little drawing website?"

The system opened the panel.

It linked to the Parallel Blue Planet feed.

And began publicly executing Mu Yang.

The first fan-made video.

"What I think about during class"

After a goofy voice read out the title.

The video began playing.

Part One: (Source: Ultraman Tiga)

On-screen, an army of Hilichurls attacked the Teyvat Continent.

With the army bearing down on them, humanity had been routed.

Only Mondstadt remained.

The Knights of Favonius discussed abandoning the position before the bridgehead.

And retreating to Mondstadt City.

At that moment, Mu Yang stared at the Hilichurl army.

His expression was grave.

Lumine turned back and called to him. "Mu Yang!"

Acting Grand Master Jean and several Knights of Favonius members stopped as well when they heard this.

Mu Yang stood with his back to everyone.

"I... will go alone."

Lumine immediately rejected the idea. "No!"

The Knights of Favonius members did not understand what they were talking about.

Acting Grand Master Jean told them to leave first.

Then slowly approached Mu Yang.

"When I first saw Ultraman."

"I thought I had encountered a god."

"I thought he could lead humanity onto the right path."

Mu Yang still did not turn around.

Acting Grand Master Jean continued.

"But I was wrong. Only later did I understand."

"Ultraman is both light and human."

"So you have no obligation to face an enemy you simply cannot defeat."

"You understand that, right?!"

Mu Yang slowly turned around.

"Cannot defeat? I do not understand."

Acting Grand Master Jean seemed to understand his resolve.

"Yes. When did I start no longer believing in fate, too?"

"You have to win, as a human."

Lumine could scarcely believe it. "What?!"

Mu Yang nodded resolutely at Lumine.

Then Lumine was dragged away by Acting Grand Master Jean.

"Mu Yang!"

Mu Yang called out to Lumine.

"Lumine, getting them back into the city is your job."

Then he took out the Transformation Device.

Jean: "No problem. You have to win, Ultraman Tiga!"

Mu Yang transformed into Tiga and beat up the Hilichurls.

Just look at what you have protected.

Holy crap, the uploader installed surveillance cameras. How do you know what I think about when I space out in class?

I am dying. At least change Mu Yang's clothes. Pulling a Transformation Device out of ancient robes is just too ridiculous.

But seriously, MiHoYo's models are so detailed. Look at Mu Yang's facial details, and Acting Grand Master Jean's butt, Acting Grand Master Jean's...

Stop pretending, kid. Put an eye tracker on you and it would definitely stay on Jean the whole time.

Part Two: (Source: Kamen Rider)

After the screen went black, it moved on to the second segment.

This one was comparatively normal.

It first showed Mu Yang's bridge-guarding battle.

The bridge surface froze over.

He kicked the Cryo Hilichurl Chieftain into the air.

Then he slashed out a dividing line with a streak of sword energy.

This part was footage from the game itself.

The important part came next.

Instead of charging deep into the enemy ranks with Azure Dragon Emerging from Water in hand.

Mu Yang summoned a red belt around his waist.

And transformed into Kuuga.

Then unleashed a straight-up nuclear explosion kick.

What exactly have you been protecting?!

Kuuga: If Tiga does not guard it, neither will I.

The scene reset.

This time, it was an orange belt—Agito.

Brother Mu, please turn off your high beams.

Hilichurls: What the hell is so blinding?!

The third belt—Build.

"A hero cannot run away in the middle of battle."

That energy-bottle guy is awesome as hell.

Can Mu Yang kick out those formulas?

What comes out would all be sword manuals.

A fourth belt?

Mu Yang roared on the spot.

The Oma effects went into full force.

This one is even more of a heavyweight.

Business venture failed, inherited the family business.

The fifth belt...

"Are you ready?"

"I have been ready for a long time."

After the battle ended.

"Let me personally... send you on your way..."

"Then I will leave it to you, Shotaro."

"The hand you should be holding is no longer mine..."

The video ended.

Holy crap, that stabbed me right out of nowhere!

The uploader is a monster, putting razor blades in candy.

Reported. Guys, did I do the right thing?

Good thing Mu Yang is a banner character. I am not worried at all that he will get killed off.

Having official character art really does make you confident.

Why does Mu Yang using the Blizzard Gauntlets in the video feel so fitting? Could it be because they are both Cryo-element...

Shut your crow mouth. Great association. Do not think of it again next time.

Mu Yang looked at the comment section and scrolling comments.

"System, they seem pretty optimistic."

System: "I do not care. As long as you are having fun and can earn Popularity Points, that is enough."

The system played the second fan creation for him.

This video was mostly a parody.

Its title was:

"Hilichurls, the times have changed!"

The video began at that same familiar Mondstadt bridge.

Members of the Knights of Favonius were fighting Hilichurls on the bridge.

Mu Yang descended from the sky.

The hero had arrived.

First came a wave of the no-injury-through-smoke rule.

Nothing happened.

Then he pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.

He drew two revolvers and shot one Hilichurl in the head with every bullet.

After running out of bullets, he switched to a blue-flamed Gatling gun.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat—"

The Hilichurls suffered heavy losses.

The Mondstadt Knights of Favonius behind him were all dumbfounded.

Rosaria reacted the fastest.

She immediately held out both hands toward Mu Yang.

Mu Yang pulled an RPG out of his four-dimensional pocket for Rosaria.

One rocket blast sent the Hilichurls flying.

Rosaria gave him a thumbs-up.

"This is much more useful than a Vision."

Mu Yang had not even finished handing out the guns.

Barbara was already charging forward while dual-wielding Chicago Typewriters.

"Ahhh—whether Barbatos forgives you is Barbatos's business."

"My responsibility is to send you to meet him!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat—"

The video ended.

You were supposed to make fan creations, not create me to death.

Sir, times had changed.

Studying medicine couldn't save Mondstadt City.

And wasn't this also a kind of "wind god"?

So that was the feng in submachine gun, huh?
