Liyue Frozen, Asura's Evil!

Sunlight streamed through the screened windows of the Jade Chamber, falling on Keqing and Ningguang's faces.

"I can't wait to see you in a cat-eared maid outfit, Ningguang."

Keqing was brimming with confidence. She didn't think there was the slightest chance she would lose the bet.

In her years working with the Millelith, she had seen far too many villains like Asura Yaksha: selfish people who deceived others for their own gain and even dragged everyone else down with them.

Most criminals in Liyue were like that, putting on a respectable face while resorting to underhanded, devious methods.

She didn't think this legendary Yaksha would be an exception.

"Hehe, then let's wait and see."

Ningguang didn't argue. She simply wore a composed expression and turned back to the video.

Just then, Secretary Ganyu entered the Jade Chamber. She had apparently heard the news and rushed over immediately.

"May I ask where this so-called video is...?"

"Over here, over here."

Keqing immediately called Ganyu over and showed her the scenes of Liyue's past playing on the screen.

At the sight of Liyue Harbor and the people corroded by the power of Karmic Debt, Ganyu froze, a clear look of nostalgia and sorrow appearing on her face.

Seeing her reaction, Keqing and Ningguang fell silent.

They knew Ganyu was lost in her memories.

In a sense, this also showed that the A Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation video was not fake, but a true account of past events.

This made the two members of the Liyue Qixing even more curious. What kind of person could have filmed events from a thousand years ago and presented them exactly as they had happened?

Meanwhile, after a long silence, Ganyu seemed to have emerged from her memories.

Keqing immediately asked, "Secretary Ganyu, do you still remember Asura Yaksha? What kind of person was he?"

"He was a traitor..." Ganyu fell silent for two seconds before immediately passing judgment. "I still can't believe he would do something like that to Liyue. I can't forgive him for what he did..."

"Okay, I win!"

Keqing hurriedly declared victory and looked smugly at Ningguang beside her, as though she were already prepared to see her in a maid outfit.

"Don't be hasty." Ningguang was unmoved by Keqing's reaction. She simply looked at Ganyu. "Secretary Ganyu, although a long time has passed, I still hope you'll think back carefully. Was Asura Yaksha really the villain you remember? Even if it's only some small detail, have you truly never had any doubts about his actions?"

"Well..."

Ganyu froze at Ningguang's words.

She seemed to recall many things at once. Her emotions churned violently, and in the end, she fell into a daze...

Seeing her like this, Keqing felt her heart skip a beat.

Something about Ganyu's reaction seemed off.

Could there really be some hidden truth behind Asura Yaksha's actions?

After a brief hesitation, she looked back at the video. On the screen, Asura Yaksha was already like a fiend reigning over Liyue, spreading Karmic Debt far and wide without restraint and harming innocent civilians.

The sight immediately strengthened her conviction once more.

He was absolutely a merciless villain with darkness in his heart.

There could be no exceptions.

Comments also continued to scroll across the video, echoing Keqing's thoughts-

[Damn it, Asura Yaksha is despicable! Is he really going to destroy Liyue completely?]

[Can anyone stop him?]

[What on earth is Asura Yaksha trying to do? Has he really gone completely mad?]

[Never mind Secretary Ganyu-even I'm completely disappointed in Asura Yaksha now. I can't stand his betrayal!]

"Asura Yaksha... he truly lived up to his name, as terrifying as an Asura..."

Ronova couldn't help sighing as she watched the video.

She silently continued watching.

In the video, after defeating wave after wave of Millelith soldiers who came to stop him, Asura Yaksha completely absorbed nearly all the dead gods' resentment and Karmic Debt throughout Liyue.

His strength was now almost equal to that of a legendary great god. With a mere gesture, he could defeat any enemy.

At that very moment, five Yakshas of differing appearances came before him, intending to stop him.

"Why? Brother, why are you doing this?!"

Bosacius, the Electro Yaksha and the eldest of the Five Yaksha, looked utterly bewildered.

Like him, the other four Yakshas could not understand why their beloved elder brother would willingly absorb the dead gods' resentment and act as though he intended to destroy Liyue.

"Brother Asura, please stop!"

Bonanus, the Hydro Yaksha with long blue hair, also wore a pained expression, unable to understand Asura's actions.

Asura's expression did not change in the slightest at his siblings' questions and accusations.

He gazed indifferently at the Yakshas he had once regarded as his own siblings and said coldly, "If you want to stop me, then come and defeat me. Otherwise, none of you will leave here alive!"

"What...?"

Asura's words filled the five Yakshas' faces with terror.

Before they could even react, Asura Yaksha appeared before them in an instant. With astonishing speed, he sent Xiao and Indarias of the Five Yaksha flying.

In the process, he even seized Bonanus and absorbed every trace of Karmic Debt and dead gods' resentment that had accumulated in the blue-haired girl's body, taking it into his own.

At once, the aura of a god around him swelled, and growing madness shone in his eyes.

"Boom!"

The next second, Asura raised his right hand.

A tremendous surge of elemental power erupted, creating a terrifying pillar of ice that pierced through Mt. Tianheng.

The pillar of ice froze all of Liyue Harbor and a vast area around it. Ice stretched on for ten thousand li, freezing everything in sight and turning it to frost.

[Holy crap, that's terrifying! He's practically as powerful as a god, or even one of the Seven!]

[How was this video even filmed? Could it really be special effects?]

[I'm starting to believe more and more that this video is real!]

[So Asura Yaksha is already this powerful. How can anyone stop him? Will they have to rely on Rex Lapis's power?]

[But Rex Lapis obviously can't make it back anytime soon...]

The viewers looked anxious.

They clearly hadn't expected the Knight of Boreas, who had saved Mondstadt in the previous video, to have now become a great fiend on the verge of destroying Liyue.

The stark contrast was more than many people could accept, and they couldn't understand Asura Yaksha's actions.
