"No, don't kill me..."
"I am willing to submit to you... Please don't kill me!"
"Don't come any closer!"
A humanoid creature emanating black mist was driven into a corner by a figure in a panic, its body covered in black blood splattered on it for some unknown reason.
The figure raised its massive scythe without uttering a sound.
A flash of blue light from the purple scythe cleaved the man in front of it into pieces.
The black flames, the yellow four-pointed star, and the tattered gladiator armor all prove that this is the Beheaded.
The Inazuma storyline has ended, and the Traveler will likely have to stay in Inazuma for a long time until the Sakoku Decree lifted before returning to Liyue and Mondstadt.
Jiang Xiaofeng had no interest in these plot points, so he simply asked Paimon to take him to Teyvat a thousand years ago, during the Archon War, before the Seven were fully established, when countless Demon Gods were vying for power on the Teyvat, and when the Khaenri'ah civilization still existed.
"A demon god from a thousand years ago, is this all?"
Jiang Xiaofeng hoisted the giant scythe onto his shoulder, and with a wave of his hand, the Void Power devoured the authority of the demon god.
"What kind of demon is this again? The Demon of Smoke?"
Jiang Xiaofeng fiddled with the mangled remains of the demon god.
"What's the point of smoking? To squint people's eyes?"
Jiang Xiaofeng stood up and left.
After a while, a group of soldiers passed by.
"Report! Another remnant of the Demon God has been discovered!"
"What!"
The squad the Captain quickly arrived at the demon god that Jiang Xiaofeng had killed.
"Notify the Yaksha to handle these remains of demon gods; they are skilled at this."
The scouts in the squad nodded and quickly left.
"There have been so many remains of demons in this area lately. Could it be that the demons killed each other and perished together?"
"Or is there a more powerful demon god entrenched here, preventing other demon gods from entering his territory?"
"Should we inform Lord Morax about this?"
The squad the Captain tapped the gossipy member's helmet. "Lord Morax is so busy, how could he possibly have time to deal with such trivial matters!"
"It's just a mere remnant of a demon god. With the Yaksha and our Millelith here, let's not bother the master."
The team member nodded.
"But now that you mention it, I think I've noticed something."
The squad the Captain's tone suddenly became somewhat uncertain.
"The corpses of these dead demons were mostly broken into pieces and scattered all over the ground."
"It was probably all done by the same person."
"But why didn't this person take the remains of the demon god with him?"
"The remnants of a demon god are clearly the most effective..."
Thinking of this, the squad the Captain dared not speak.
What if he deliberately left this there to lure people to come and see?
The squad the Captain quickly stood up.
"Form ranks!"
Upon hearing the squad the Captain's order, the team members immediately stood up, took down their Lithic Spear, and united against the enemy!
" The Captain, what happened?"
The squad the Captain, looking tense, said, "Stay alert! Be on the lookout for anything that might happen!"
The entire squad was on high alert for a long time, on edge.
The guard slowly lifted only when a burly, purple-haired man with four arms arrived with the team's scouts.
"Strange, could it be that I guessed wrong?"
While the squad the Captain was still pondering what was wrong, Bosacius, who had already absorbed the remnants of the demon god, looked at the squad the Captain's puzzled face and put his arm around his neck.
"Why do you look so worried, brother? What happened?"
The squad the Captain looked at the overly familiar Yaksha Bosacius and smiled sheepishly.
"It's nothing, it's just... my judgment might have been wrong..."
Upon hearing this, Bosacius waved his hand dismissively. "So what if we made a mistake? Even we Yaksha make mistakes, and Lord Morax, who is extremely busy, still makes mistakes. It's no big deal."
The squad the Captain looked at the Bosacius, still feeling somewhat awkward.
He felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it...
What is Jiang Xiaofeng, the instigator, doing?
Jiang Xiaofeng just found the Weapon God that Osial mentioned and defeated the demon god.
Weapon God is someone who knows how to use many weapons and carries many weapons.
They can even create weapons out of thin air.
After figuring out the Weapon God's abilities, Jiang Xiaofeng lost interest.
With that little bit of authority, I could crush you even before I became a god.
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't even bother with the giant scythe; he simply twisted the head off the God of Weapons with his bare hands.
The poor God of Weapons threw out weapons, but Jiang Xiaofeng threw them all back. The key point is that Jiang Xiaofeng also imbued the weapons with Void Power, so the God of Weapons was injured as soon as it touched them.
The God of Weapons died such a pathetic death, without even being able to announce his own name.
Jiang Xiaofeng extracted the God of Weapons power and devoured it in one swift motion.
After doing all this, Jiang Xiaofeng left.
Soon, the Millelith patrol discovered a new fallen demon god, Yaksha quickly arrived to deal with it.
Since Paimon brought Jiang Xiaofeng to a new timeline, no matter how absurdly Jiang Xiaofeng altered the Archon War, his own timeline would not be affected.
To prevent Jiang Xiaofeng from learning his abilities but not mastering them properly and making the wrong choice when returning to the original timeline, Paimon simply stayed inside the King's Box.
Jiang Xiaofeng always carried the King's Box in a shrunk form, so Paimon was always with Jiang Xiaofeng.
It's been almost a week since Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at the Archon War, and none of the demon gods he's encountered have been able to defeat the Giant Scythe.
Jiang Xiaofeng was worried that it might be due to his own body, so he specially put away the King's body and then found a corpse to possess.
However, these demons still shattered at the slightest touch.
Jiang Xiaofeng thought that this might be the reason why he specifically sought out lone demon gods.
A lone demon god has no territory, no subjects, so he certainly can't compete with those powerful demon gods.
Soon, Jiang Xiaofeng strolled along, and the sky gradually darkened.
"Hmm... let's stop here for today, and continue tomorrow."
Jiang Xiaofeng left the stolen body where it was, hiding the King's Box inside it. Then, Jiang Xiaofeng returned to his original body.
Back in the King's Box, Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Paimon, who was trying to cook, with a helpless expression.
" Paimon, if you're hungry, just let me know, and I'll make you something."
"You're wasting food by cooking."
"Smack!"
Paimon punched Jiang Xiaofeng in annoyance.
"I wanted to cook dinner before you came back, and this is what you say to me!"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Shaking his head, Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, Void Power materialized into several hands, which began to cook.
"If I do it myself, it's quite fast and not tiring at all."
As he spoke, Jiang Xiaofeng picked up Paimon.
"It'll take a while to finish cooking, let's do something meaningful first..."
Paimon was startled and tried to break free. "No, I'm hungry!"
"I'm hungry, isn't that perfect...?"
