Ganyu: Even If I Have to Kill My Own Teacher, I Will Kill the Asura Yaksha!

Ancient Liyue faced a terrifying crisis.

The pressure exerted by the Asura Yaksha was even greater than that of the legendary Vortex God said to have threatened to submerge Liyue, leaving every viewer on edge.

At a tavern in Mondstadt.

"He actually betrayed his own nation. He's the worst kind of villain!"

Eula was the first to condemn the Asura Yaksha's actions.

Though she was a descendant of the Lawrence Clan, she deeply despised her own family.

Her clan had once betrayed Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius, and had even nearly brought the nation to ruin.

She could not forgive her family's sins, so she had always resolved to redeem the Lawrence Clan's name through her actions.

As a result, whenever she saw a similar act of betrayal, she felt contempt for it from the bottom of her heart and found such despicable behavior hard to forgive.

"But does His Excellency the Yaksha truly intend to betray Liyue?" Kaeya saw things differently, a different opinion flashing through his eyes. "I can't help feeling he isn't that sort of person."

"Captain Kaeya, do you think there's more to Mr. Asura's actions?" Amber asked curiously.

"Perhaps there really is some special reason," Diluc said quietly from the side, offering his own opinion.

"Huh? Mr. Diluc actually agrees with Captain Kaeya? That's a rare sight." Fischl looked surprised.

Normally, Diluc would have flown into a rage on the spot if someone said he agreed with Kaeya, but now he spoke calmly. "My father was once falsely accused. He did the right thing, yet for various reasons, everyone regarded him as a traitor. That made me realize that many things can't be judged by appearances alone. Only by finding the truth can one pass final judgment."

"The truth... Perhaps you're right."

Barbatos took a sip of wine, trust in the Asura Yaksha showing in his eyes.

For she believed that if the Asura Yaksha was her Knight of Boreas, he would never commit a truly evil deed.

In the scene.

Having obtained the power of a god, the Asura Yaksha effortlessly defeated the five Yakshas before him.

He easily absorbed the karmic debt afflicting the Yakshas, taking into himself all the negative energy they had absorbed over the years while battling the resentment of gods.

This made his strength all the more terrifying, but the madness in his eyes also surged ever more fiercely, beyond restraint.

Just as he seemed truly out of control and ready to destroy Liyue Harbor entirely, a ballista bolt suddenly shot toward him from the far side of Mt. Tianheng.

"Bang!"

The Asura Yaksha easily dodged the attack and looked back to find that the one operating the Guizhong Ballista was Ganyu, a young half-qilin adeptus.

"Master Asura, stop! Don't commit any more evil!"

"Stop? You think words alone can stop me?"

Asura let out a cold laugh and raised a hand, unleashing a massive icicle that utterly destroyed the Guizhong Ballista beneath Ganyu's feet. "If you want to stop me, defeat me and kill me. That's the only way!"

His face was cold and cruel, filled with killing intent.

There was none of his former tenderness in that terrifying visage, as though it had all been nothing more than a disguise.

After witnessing Asura's true face, Ganyu would no longer show him any mercy. She had made every preparation.

To protect Liyue, she would kill him herself.

Even if that meant killing her own beloved teacher with her own hands, killing the hero she had once looked up to so deeply.

She would not waver again!

"Asura, die!"

Ganyu spoke coldly and abruptly unleashed her adeptal power.

The next second, nearly every Guizhong Ballista on Mt. Tianheng activated at once. Those powerful mechanisms, once used to fight terrifying gods during the Archon War, had now all become her weapons.

Each Guizhong Ballista here had the power of an adeptus's full-force strike. With so many activating at once, even the Asura Yaksha, as powerful as a god, was bound to struggle against them.

"Boom!"

At last, countless beams burst from the Guizhong Ballistae, and a meteor shower of projectiles abruptly activated and fell, completely engulfing the Asura Yaksha.

[Whoa, they had a trump card like that!]

[The adeptal mechanisms of our great Liyue are number one under heaven!]

[These mechanisms are actually more powerful than the Clockwork Meka guards in Fontaine. That's terrifying!]

[These mechanisms were made by Lady Guizhong, Liyue's God of Dust! Lady Guizhong is still carrying!]

[The Asura Yaksha didn't expect so many Guizhong Ballistae to be left on Mt. Tianheng, did he? He miscalculated.]

[Even the Asura Yaksha can't possibly withstand such a terrifying attack, right...]

As the many viewers watched.

The combined attack from the Guizhong Ballistae Ganyu had unleashed blasted the area around the Asura Yaksha directly to dust.

Under such a terrifying assault, even the Asura Yaksha could not withstand every blow and was gravely wounded on the spot.

Even so, the resentment of gods within him continued to mend his body, restoring his battered form at an astonishing speed.

"Tch, even after all this, you still refuse to let go?"

Asura muttered to himself, so quietly that only he could hear.

He then picked up his battered spear and slowly looked toward Ganyu in the distance. With a mocking expression, he said, "Even an attack like that can't kill me. Such is the helplessness of the weak!"

"You..."

At Asura's taunt, utter fury appeared on Ganyu's face. She no longer regarded him as her teacher at all, but as a thug attempting to destroy Liyue.

"If you want to kill me as I am now, perhaps your only option is to use the technique I taught you before, the one that uses a Vision to strengthen your adeptal power, and freeze me completely. But with your power alone, Ganyu, there's simply no way you can do that."

"This..."

Hearing Asura's maximally provocative words, Ganyu was suddenly inspired.

She looked at the five Yakshas who had just fallen to the ground and called out for help. "Yakshas, please help me! As long as you form an array to amplify my adeptal power, I can seal this damned Asura completely!"

"This..."

The five Yakshas reacted to Ganyu's words with differing expressions.

But all of them showed clear hesitation.

Even now, they were unwilling to fully believe that their elder brother would commit such an evil act.

In the end, Bosacius, the Electro Yaksha, stepped forward and called out, "We'll lend you a hand, Miss Ganyu. This is not only for Liyue, but for our elder brother as well."

"Bosacius?"

"Second Brother Bosacius, why..."

The other four Yakshas could not understand Bosacius's actions.

But ultimately, they accepted his choice and all agreed to lend Ganyu their power.

In an instant, the five Yakshas and Ganyu, the half-qilin adeptus, formed a grand array together. Through a special barrier, they concentrated all their adeptal power on Ganyu alone, briefly granting her enough strength to contend with the Asura Yaksha.

And that gave her the power to end the Asura Yaksha's life once and for all!
