Bai Ye's Thunderbird Mount

In Aru's mind, Kapachiri was always a thunderbird. But the Electro Hypostasis that appeared before Aru at this moment was an elemental creature that was somewhat bird-shaped and also resembled a bat.

"This..."

Aru involuntarily took two steps back.

However, the familiar feeling emanating from the elemental creature before her told Aru that the elemental creature was Kapachiri, the thunderbird they worshipped at Tsurumi Island.

His friend.

"What exactly happened?"

He covered his forehead, wanting to know what had happened.

Some vivid memories surfaced, and he felt a slight headache.

"It's very simple. Thunderbird was killed by Raiden Shogun for his evil deeds."

Looking at the pained little boy in front of her, Bai Ye decided to tell him the whole truth.

It might be somewhat cruel, but Yi knew that Aru's soul, along with the souls of everyone else on Tsurumi Island, would be taken to the Mistress at the ship's mouth. At that time, all the souls would probably regain their senses, Bai Ye didn't want Aru to become a tool for those people again.

Yesterday, he and Raiden Ei worked together to install the mechanical arm. After installation, the next step was to resolve the Thunder Bird's situation.

Bai Ye brought Aru with her.

And they had Hu Tao use a secret method to maintain Aru's figure.

"That's impossible! I saw Kapachiri just a few days ago, why now..."

Aru's words faltered halfway through, her expression faltering.

"Brother, why is this?"

He came to ask Bai Ye with a sob in his voice.

"Time has passed for a very long time. If we're talking about age, Aru, you're thousands of years older than me."

Bai Ye sighed and then said to Aru.

Aru looked up at Bai Ye and asked, "Brother, what is the truth?"

"At that time, because of your close relationship with the Thunderbird, the other people on Tsurumi Island believed that sacrificing you to the Thunderbird would bring them its blessing..."

Aru let out a miserable cry, her expression pained.

Bai Ye continued, "When the Thunderbird came to see its friend, it only resulted in your death. In the end, the Thunderbird went berserk and destroyed all the tribes on Tsurumi Island. It became more and more insane, and finally it was killed by the Raiden Shogun."

After Bai Ye finished explaining everything, Aru expression calmed down.

These were all things he had experienced, so when he recalled them completely, his reaction was not so intense.

"I remember everything now, thank you for telling me. Unfortunately, I'm currently in a spirit state and have no way to repay you. Also, I'd like to ask you a favor, brother—"

Aru pointed to the Electro Hypostasis that was currently suspended in mid-air.

"Brother, can you help me get rid of it? I feel it's in a lot of pain and wants to be free."

"Ah, I came here for this very reason."

Bai Ye had Aru stand beside her, and the mechanical arm behind her began to move.

At that moment, Electro Hypostasis, hovering in mid-air, noticed that Bai Ye was approaching him. He spread his wings and launched an attack on Bai Ye.

Thunderclouds began to gather in the sky, and the surrounding area turned a deep purple.

Then, Aru opened her mouth and began to sing a song.

"La la la la la la la la..."

This was the song he sang to the Thunderbird back then. Now, facing the Thunderbird again, Aru sang that song once more.

His singing was very beautiful, and as he sang, the surrounding thunder became even stronger.

"The Shogun, will we not have Bai Ye trouble?"

At this moment, below Amakumo Peak, Hu Tao looked at the purple sky and felt a little worried.

"If he's afraid of even this little bit of lightning, then my and Zhen's powers are completely wasted."

Ying looked towards Amakumo Peak and quietly spoke about the battle that had already begun there.

If Bai Ye is in danger, she will naturally take action.

As the song played, Electro Hypostasis used lightning to create two lightning-covered walls that came from the left and right sides towards Bai Ye, trying to trap him within the lightning.

Bai Ye raised his left arm.

"Disappear."

The lightning walls on both sides vanished in an instant.

The attack that Electro Hypostasis had been preparing for a long time vanished in the face of the power that Bai Ye unleashed.

The sound of lightning striking all disappeared, leaving only Aru's singing. Bai Ye pointed her left arm towards the Electro Hypostasis.

An even more intense bolt of lightning struck directly at the location where Lei Electro Hypostasis.

Although Electro Hypostasis was unconscious, he keenly sensed that the lightning was causing deep damage even to himself, an elemental being.

It hid in the sky.

The next second,

Electro Hypostasis behind Bai Ye.

Upon seeing Electro Hypostasis behind Bai Ye, he was about to launch an attack.

Seeing this, Aru nervously stopped singing.

Just as Electro Hypostasis's wings were about to smash into Bai Ye's head, Bai Ye's right mechanical arm twisted sharply backward, aiming for the connection between Electro Hypostasis's neck and wings.

It slammed down on it.

With a single mechanical arm, Bai Ye grabbed Electro Hypostasis slammed him hard to the ground.

"Trying to stab me in the back? Let's see how you die!"

After smashing it on the ground, Bai Ye said smugly.

Before the attack began, Bai Ye activated Orobas's power. Therefore, when faced with the sneak attack of the Electro Hypostasis, he reacted in time and was not only unaffected by the Electro Hypostasis, but also launched a fierce counterattack.

Aru breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yi hadn't been ambushed.

Clearing her throat, Aru continued singing her ballad.

Using this song as a pretext, Bai Ye's attack continued.

"Teacher, it's your turn to hold up both arms from now on," Bai Ye said to Hagintos in his mind.

"Tuo's."

Hagintos nodded in agreement. The two mechanical arms continued their relentless attack, leaving Electro Hypostasis no time to react. Meanwhile, Pu Bai Ye flicked his wrist, and 'Dreamy Musou' appeared in his hand.

Bai Ye rushed in front of Electro Hypostasis, gripped her swords with both hands, and launched an attack.

Electro Hypostasis tried to dodge, but Hagintos had already anticipated this while he was manipulating the situation, and the mechanical arms firmly blocked all the places Electro Hypostasis could hide.

Bai Ye's swords slashed at Electro Hypostasis's body. As he struck, Bai Ye's other hand pressed down on Electro Hypostasis's body.

Although Electro Hypostasis cannot physically touch the physical body, he possesses the powers of both Makoto Raiden Ei, allowing Bai Ye to clearly touch Electro Hypostasis's body.

His arm trembled Bai Ye, and a mechanism appeared in his hand.

After placing the mechanism on its body, Bai Ye quickly left.

After moving a sufficient distance from Electro Hypostasis, Bai Ye snapped his fingers with his back to Electro Hypostasis.

In an instant, the mechanism that Bai Ye pressed on Electro Hypostasis was activated.

Strands of silk thread ran through Electro Hypostasis's entire body.

It also contained the celestial talisman left by Bai Ye.

The elements on the talisman, completely different from those of Lei Electro Hypostasis, erupted within Electro Hypostasis's body.

The elements in the body instantly became disordered.

Bai Ye once again spread her Anemo Element wings, raised 'Dreamy Musou' high with both hands, and unleashed a whirlwind with a single sword strike.

This burst of Anemo Element is bound to cause Electro Hypostasis's complete demise.

May it rest in peace.

Just as Bai Ye was about to attack, he saw Aru rush towards Electro Hypostasis.

"Aru, what are you doing?!"

Bai Ye controlled the Anemo Element, keeping it in a state where he could unleash his power at any moment, and asked Aru.

Although the soul possesses the Hu Tao Secret Technique, its stability is far superior to that of an ordinary soul. However, if it were to truly approach Electro life form, the Hu Tao Secret Technique would be utterly ineffective, and the soul would inevitably vanish into nothingness.

"Of course, it's to fulfill the promise I made to it!" Aru replied to Bai Ye with a smile as she ran.

"Brother, I don't want to see anyone else."

Since I've already been treated as a pawn by my family, I might as well just exile myself.

Even if the people of Tsurumi Island die, their souls will not be free. I, Aru, will become a free child.

Thunderbird and I are best friends, and I even made a promise to it back then. So, isn't disappearing from its side the best possible outcome?

See, I haven't given up on our promise to each other.

It was just a little late.

Bai Ye watched as Aru entered the Thunder Bird Lightning, sighed, and did not stop her.

This is the ending that Aru wanted.

It seemed that Electro Hypostasis also recognized Aru, and stopped struggling as he saw him coming.

Bai Ye once again propelled the whirlwind, sending it hurtling towards Electro Hypostasis.

"In that case, we will win."

Bai Ye spoke to himself in a seemingly relaxed manner.

He was about to turn and leave.

However, just as he was about to descend from Amakumo Peak, Bai Ye suddenly felt a violent Electro Hypostasis erupt from behind him.

Fortunately, Bai Ye had a premonition about the Orobas, knowing it was all a mystery. When the lightning struck, he timely used the power of the Thunder God to nullify it.

Bai Ye turned her head away.

Has the problem of Electro Hypostasis not been resolved yet?

As he was thinking this, he discovered that after clearing away the impurities, only a very pure ball of Electro energy remained.

"This..."

Seeing this, Bai Ye was also somewhat confused.

Just as he was completely baffled, the lightning energy burst forth again.

Bai Ye is ready again.

At this time,

A clear, melodious bird song rang out.

From within the energy cluster, a small Thunderbird flew out.

The Thunderbird in front of them was quite small; it probably wouldn't even look tall if it stood on Bai Ye's shoulder. It spread its wings and flew towards Tsurumi Island, which wasn't far away.

As the Thunderbird flew by, the thick fog on Tsurumi Island also dissipated.

After flying around once, the Thunderbird flew towards the Bai Ye.

At this moment,

A premonition from Orobas told Bai Ye that the Thunderbird in front of him had no intention of harming Bai Ye at all.

Bai Ye reached out his hand, and the thunderbird landed in his hand.

"This--"

Bai Ye looked at the Thunderbird and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

"Aru?"

He asked tentatively.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's question, the Thunder Bird nodded vigorously.

"What's going on?"

Bai Ye was somewhat puzzled.

Hagintos began his analysis by saying:

"Perhaps, even though the Thunderbird was killed by Raiden Shogun and only left with resentment, it still puts its feelings for Aru first in its heart. So, even when it was hurting Aru, and during your attack just now, it tightly protected Aru."

"Aru was left with only a remnant soul, and it was a soulless creature, merely a resentful spirit imbued with lightning element. Under the influence of Anemo Element, the two completely merged together. In the end, the newborn Thunderbird was born."

"So that's how it is."

Bai Ye nodded.

Currently, Electro Hypostasis disappeared, and Lei Niao has become Aru. Bai Ye has no plans to be his enemy.

He asked Aru, who had transformed into a thunderbird, "So, do you intend to continue serving as a thunderbird to fulfill your duties?"

Thunderbird shook its head.

"So what do you want to do?"

Bai Ye asked Thunderbird.

At that moment, Thunderbird saw Bai Ye's shoulder and immediately jumped up and stood on his shoulder.

"You want to leave here with me?"

Thunderbird nodded.

Afterwards, in order to demonstrate its abilities, Thunderbird spread its entire body out in mid-air.

So that Bai Ye can stand on it.

Seeing this, Bai Ye immediately became happy.

Actually, having a Thunderbird as a follower is pretty cool, isn't it?

Yesterday, Raiden Ei told him that she had also wanted the Thunderbird to be her mount. However, it stubbornly refused.

The Seven Archons gathered; Barbatos stood atop the Dvalin, and Morax stood atop the Dragon King Azhdaha. Makoto and Raiden Ei, however, didn't have such convenient means of transportation.

Since the Thunderbirds refused to become familiars, they couldn't very well step over the fox clan to get to them, could they?

You're using a fox as a mount Makoto ashamed.

Bai Ye now has the Thunder Bird following him, and it feels really good to be able to stand freely on the Thunder Bird and fly around.

"Okay, please take me down there, Aru."

Bai Ye Aru.

After that, Thunderbird brought Bai Ye down from the Amakumo Peak.

Thunderbird brought Bai Ye to the location where Hu Tao Shenhe, and Raiden Ei were located.

Upon landing, Thunderbird shrank in size and flew back onto Bai Ye's shoulder.

Hmm, it looks pretty cool to wear Thunderbird like this.

Bai Ye thought to herself.

But the next second, he remembered that there was another one on Teyvat with a bird on its shoulder.

"Bai Ye, you've defeated Yang?"

Hu Tao quickly came up, first looked at Bai Ye, then at the Thunderbird on his shoulder, and asked.

"Damn it."

Bai Ye nodded.

"What should we do next?"

Shenhe then asked Bai Ye.

"Hmm... let's leave Amakumo Peak and return to Inazuma Island later."

Upon hearing Shenhe's words, Bai Ye immediately wanted to turn back home.

The boatman planned to take everyone from Tsurumi Island away, and he had essentially intercepted Aru and left.

To avoid an awkward encounter, it's best to leave early.
