Genshin Impact: Supreme Justice of Teyvat

Chapter 10: Did I Rip Off the Evil God’s Sheep

The ritual of the Evil God involves the followers of the Evil God constructing an altar, offering sacrifices, and receiving rewards in return. However, since the Evil God’s followers had been obliterated by the Fear Balloon, the altar Lu Yu had previously seen became useless.

As the altar used for the Evil God’s ritual, it naturally contained a valuable item to act as a medium for communication with the Evil God.

Taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers hadn’t reacted yet, Lu Yu quickened his steps towards the building where the Evil God’s followers were located. Following the memory of the layout he had seen before, he reached the front door and casually destroyed the security cameras along the way.

Staring at the door blocking his path, Lu Yu gave a faint smile and slowly raised his foot.

Boom!

The door was kicked open. However, instead of charging in immediately, Lu Yu threw the Fear Balloon inside to scout the area.

Naturally, the Fear Balloon had no idea what Lu Yu was thinking. With its simple mind, it happily wandered about, calling out to Lu Yu to join the fun. But Lu Yu ignored it.

Once he confirmed there were no traps, Lu Yu swaggered inside. However, as soon as he stepped through the door, a strong stench of blood and decay overwhelmed him.

“Disgusting!”

Lu Yu frowned as he observed the interior structure.

The floor and walls were covered with bloodstained, eerie, and evil runes. At several key points, there were shriveled hearts and severed limbs, the source of the putrid stench.

In the center of the formation, there was a massive root, resembling a grotesque mass of flesh. Strange symbols were carved on it, forming what seemed to be a name. The twisted symbols curved together, resembling the eight eyes of a spider from a distance.

The appearance of the Evil Gods seemed to be merely a human fantasy. No one had seen them, nor did anyone understand them. Even their names were just phonetic transcriptions by humans and not their true names. Everything about them was a product of human imagination, so it was only natural that there were no statues of the Evil Gods.

In addition, there were several dismembered bodies in the corners of the room. Judging by their clothing and the photos scattered around, they were likely the original owners of the house.@@novelbin@@

Looking at their faces twisted in terror and pain, Lu Yu sighed.

“They’ve already been killed by me. You can rest now.”

Saying this, Lu Yu summoned the Hellfire Whip and set the bodies alight. The black flames followed the blood, wrapping around the corpses and consuming them.

Whether it was his imagination or not, as the bodies burned, their expressions seemed to relax slightly, no longer as pained as before. The corpses were soon reduced to ashes, drifting away with the wind.

Having finished this, Lu Yu approached the statue and carefully examined it. He looked at the eight black obsidian eyes and reached out to pry one off.

“So it’s not a black diamond, but obsidian? This is used for warding off evil. Are you sure it’s a good idea to make a statue of the Evil God out of this?”

Lu Yu couldn’t help but complain. After all, in his past life, obsidian was used for making protective bracelets, not for Evil Gods. But considering the terrifying power of the Evil Gods, Lu Yu understood that it wasn’t the obsidian that was weak, but the overwhelming evil force.

No matter how much protection obsidian provides, in the end, it’s the power of force that matters.

Despite the complaints, Lu Yu’s body was honest enough to pocket the eight pieces of obsidian. After all, they were valuable and could fetch a good price.

After prying the Evil God’s eyes off, he searched the room but found nothing of value.

“Still, these few pieces of obsidian aren’t exactly treasure, are they?”

Lu Yu muttered to himself as he examined the statue again. He suddenly noticed something strange. Despite the room being filled with the stench of decay, the statue emitted a faint fragrance.

“Could it be…?”

Lu Yu’s mind raced, and he activated his material extraction ability on the statue.

Crack, crack, crack!

The statue began to crumble, and a white light gradually emerged. The extraction succeeded!

What rating is this material? Hopefully, it’s a five-star material, though four stars would be fine too!

Lu Yu thought to himself as he extended his hand to check the material’s properties. However, just as he touched it—

Crack, crack, crack!

Suddenly, countless spiderweb-like lines appeared before his eyes. The world seemed to shatter like broken glass, falling apart.

“What is happening?”

Lu Yu was alarmed, but before he could react further, the world around him began to distort. The webs multiplied, and the strands grew thicker, as if he had entered a giant spider’s world!

Within the dense webs, Lu Yu saw a grand, terrifying, and indescribable reflection.

He glanced briefly, but all he could see was a black abyss. When he tried to look again, his instincts screamed at him to stop because—

It would mean certain death!

Do not gaze at the God!

Even though the deity hadn’t noticed him, the very sight of it was dangerous.

The Evil God, Atrak Nakya!

The terrifying Spider God resided deep within that dreamlike web world. But it seemed to be in a deep, dreamlike slumber, not fully awake. Its breathing generated a breeze that felt like the poisonous air of an abyss. Even from a distance, it made Lu Yu’s mind churn with maddening thoughts, as if his brain was about to tear itself apart.

His body began to twist in agony, bones, flesh, and organs contorting as if he were about to transform into a grotesque spider.

“Damn it!”

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and resisted the overwhelming force. Even if he had to die, he didn’t want to become a hideous human-spider hybrid!

“Detected presence of the Evil God… activating protection mode… preparing to break out of the illusionary world… countdown 10 seconds… 7… 6…”

The system’s cold voice rang in Lu Yu’s ears. A more powerful force swept through him, dispelling the distorting aura within his body. The space around him began to crumble. It seemed the system was about to take him out of the illusory realm!

Lu Yu shifted his gaze, making sure not to look at the terrifying figure. Such an entity, if stared at too long, could leave an indelible mark on the mind, becoming a permanent nightmare.

But leaving the Evil God’s lair empty-handed wasn’t his style. So, as his thoughts spun, an audacious idea sprang to his mind!

The system’s power seemed far more formidable than this Spider God’s. In other words, his background was much stronger than this being!

The system’s voice continued:

“3… 2… 1…”

At the moment the countdown reached 1, a brilliant light enveloped Lu Yu’s body, as dreamlike as the eternal, undying chaos light, ready to carry him away.

Lu Yu looked up once more at the terrifying, distorted reflection. The instant their gazes met, a terrifying force rushed through his eyes into his body, warping his thoughts and trying to transform him into a monstrous creature.

But the system’s power was even more dominant. It eradicated the distortion, preserving Lu Yu’s body and soul in their pure form.

After confirming the reliability of his “background,” Lu Yu’s smile widened. He whispered:

“Atrakk, my old friend, I came all this way, I should at least take some souvenirs. But no need to trouble you; I’ll help myself…”

As the words left his mouth, the light took him away from the webbed world.

In the formless light, a pair of massive blood-red eyes opened. The entire web world crumbled under the weight of this terrifying pressure.

Amidst the shattered void, a voice echoed—something incomprehensible to humans:

“Who stole my body?”
