Genshin: Manifestation of the God! A Gentle Breeze Passes By 2770 Words 2023-10-22

Morax's figure flashed and transformed into golden light!

No, wait!

It was because Morax's speed was so fast that his form couldn't be seen with normal observation.

The light emitted from Morax's body dragged out golden shadows.

These shadows appeared all over the swamp space, connecting and moving rapidly between points.

The explosive sound of fireworks echoed in Vorthis's ears.

What happened?

Vorthis used his spiritual sense to observe and soon saw through everything.

It turned out that Morax was moving at high speed, wielding the Vortex Vanquisher, constantly piercing through the walls of the swamp space.

He rapidly moved between multiple points.

His speed was so fast that the God of Swamps' ability to restore the swamp space could not keep up with Morax's piercing speed.

Despite continuous attacks, Morax's mind remained very clear.

He was slowly getting closer to the origin of the God of Swamps, Hastus.

At this rate, within about a week, Morax would be able to resolve all the origins related to Hastus hidden in the swamp.

A week might seem long, but in reality, it's just a week.

For gods, battles between god-level entities usually take several weeks to months to truly come to a conclusion.

Take, for example, Morax's absolute defeat of the God of Sandstorm earlier.

The first factor was surprise, and the second factor was the huge disparity in strength.

Just thinking about possibly having to wait around here for a week before being able to kill the God of Swamps and leave the swamp domain formed by the god made Vorthis's head feel heavier than ever.

If not for the stars in the sky providing light, the entire swamp would be incredibly dark, and with the brown swamp soil, Vorthis really didn't want to stay in this place for too long.

The main issue was the air, which carried a unique rotten odor from the swamp region.

Though Vorthis could stop breathing at any time, the discomfort brought on by the environment still lingered.

Perhaps he was just too delicate?

"I need to think of a way to help Morax, my brother."

Vorthis touched his chin and entered a thinking state.

Not long after, Vorthis thought of something.

That was the Treasure Compass from the game Genshin Impact.

Some might ask, "I know the treasure-seeking compass, but doesn't it seem like it can't be used to find the origin of a god?"

Hehe~!

You have to remember that Vorthis was the manifestation of the god, so how could such a thing be difficult for him?

"Manifestation!"

In Vorthis's mind, he created a compass resembling the one used by an onmyoji, inscribed with runes that could locate nearby god origins.

All he needed to do was infuse power into the compass, and these runes would light up and begin rotating.

At this point, the information about the god's origin location would be transmitted to the user's mind, allowing them to discover it instantly.

After the white light of the manifestation authority, Vorthis held a compass in his hand.

For this compass that could locate the god's origin, Vorthis decided to continue calling it the Treasure Compass, but named it the Source-Seeking Compass.

To manifest the Source-Seeking Compass, Vorthis expended one-fifth of his power.

He had already lost track of how many one-fifths he had used.

About two-fifths of his power remained.

However, this wasn't a big issue. After all, the one fighting wasn't him, and even if his energy ran out, Vorthis believed Morax could protect him and safely leave the swamp space.

He really couldn't help it; there was always an inexplicable sense of security when he was near Morax.

Maybe this was the sense of security from his previous life when he was a 60,000 HP Zhongli?

"Morax!" Vorthis called out.

Upon hearing Vorthis's call, Morax stopped his actions and appeared beside Vorthis after a moment.

"What's the matter?" Morax asked.

Perhaps Vorthis had made a new discovery or had some new idea.

Vorthis spoke in a casual tone, "The God of Swamps is about to have nowhere to hide."

"Heh, go on."

"This is called the Source-Seeking Compass, and it can locate the god's origin nearby."

"No matter how it's hidden, it will eventually be found by the Source-Seeking Compass."

Vorthis handed the Source-Seeking Compass to Morax.

Morax took the compass and examined the strange runes on it.

"Just inject your power into it, and the compass will start working on its own."

So, all he had to do was inject his power, and the compass would operate on its own?

This was indeed a very convenient device.

I wonder if the Source-Seeking Compass could also locate the god's origin in situations where the god had strong hidden abilities?

Generally, a god's origin is within its body.

Abilities like those of the God of Swamps, which can disperse, all originate from the god's authority.

If it can be found, adding a few modifications to enhance its alert function would be ideal.

Any god invading the territory would be detected by Morax.

Morax followed Vorthis's instructions and injected his power into the compass. It didn't require much power.

The runes glowed with golden light and began rotating along a specific path.

Soon, information about the God of Swamps' origin location appeared in Morax's mind.

If Morax had played Genshin Impact, he would realize these marked points were actually golden task icons.

Hehe~!

Now that he knew the location of the God of Swamps' origin, even though these origins were constantly moving in the swamp and changing positions, making them harder to find, everything became much easier with the Source-Seeking Compass.

Soon, Morax would end this battle.

Morax, holding the Vortex Vanquisher, emitted golden light from his eyes, and his form flashed again, turning into golden light.

With each of Morax's attacks, he accurately hit the God of Swamps' origin.

"Ah!! Ah! Ugh!"

Each time the God of Swamps' origin was destroyed, it caused the deepest pain for Hastus.

Because Morax was attacking the origin itself.

"No, it's impossible! How... how could you find it so quickly!"

The voice of the God of Swamps, Hastus, who was clearly panicked, echoed throughout the entire swamp space.

"Stop! I am willing to leave this area forever as a defeated foe!" Hastus said.

But Morax did not stop his actions.

In Morax's mind, the God of Swamps, Hastus, was already on the kill list.

Once someone is on the kill list, there is no reason to spare them.

As Morax continued to attack the God of Swamps Hastus's essence, the power sustaining the entire swamp space began to destabilize.

The swamp at the top was the first to collapse, falling toward the ground.

Can you imagine a bunch of brown mud clumps falling from the sky? It was like hail, covering the sky.

Upon noticing the situation, Vorthis immediately conjured a transparent barrier above his head.

He blocked the mud clumps!

Vorthis could accept getting drenched by a heavy rain.

But he absolutely could not accept being covered in these brown, sticky, somewhat disgusting substances!

Anyone who didn't know better might think it was falling into… something else entirely.

"No! No!"

"Morax! Zennos! I will remember this, I will remember this day!!"

With Morax's final strike, the already weakened God of Swamps Hastus's last trace of demonic essence was destroyed.

This also signified the death of the God of Swamps, Hastus.

Immediately, all the swamp's sustaining power was lost, and the swamp domain, previously controlled by the God of Swamps, collapsed in an instant.

Luckily, Vorthis had already prepared and opened his barrier.

As for Morax, he did not show much expression, but still summoned a jade shield, blocking the brown mud.

Since the God of Swamps Hastus's essence was gradually destroyed by Morax, the explosion that followed after his death was much less intense.

However, the endless resentment from Hastus, the God of Swamps, was now brewing in this place.

Hastus's resentment kept muttering the names of Morax and Zennos.

These were the objects of his resentment.

As for why such immense resentment existed?

To a god, the essence can be considered as its body, and Morax gradually destroyed the scattered essence of the God of Swamps.

Doesn't this resemble a form of cruel punishment on Earth?

Yes, it's similar to death by a thousand cuts.

This is why Hastus's resentment was so great. In a year or two, the land here would likely be haunted by Hastus's lingering anger.

"The God of Swamps Hastus has fallen."

Morax calmly said to Vorthis as he stood beside him.

The God of Swamps, Hastus, had ended up like this, and it could be considered well-deserved.

When he wielded the butcher's knife against other demons, did he ever think that one day he would meet the same fate as those demons?

Vorthis nodded and took the Source-seeking Compass from Morax's hand.

"Mm, with Hastus's matter resolved, Guīzolì should be relatively peaceful for a long time."

"But, now that Hastus has fallen, what about these humans?"

Vorthis looked at the humans he had protected in the barrier.

There were 3,500 of them.

In this era, 3,500 people wasn't a small number.

Morax thought for a while.

"Let them join Guīzolì," he said.

Now that the God of Swamps, Hastus, was dead, and the region had lost the protection of a god, if they were left here, the final outcome would likely be that they wouldn't even be able to escape the swamp.

"Is that so? I understand. Then let these people go build Guīzolì city. It's a kind of test," Vorthis stroked his chin and said.

After all, there might still be followers of the God of Swamps among them.

Now that they had killed their god, accepting them might not yield good results.

So Vorthis thought it would require a period of observation.

If they remained stubborn, Vorthis could only respect their faith and expel them from Guīzolì.

After all, he wanted a harmonious Guīzolì.

With the humans' matters taken care of, there was one last thing left.

That was the small star in the sky.

It was still under Vorthis's control, and it had not released extreme heat, only serving as a light source.

Even so, it was still a small fireball technique that could expand into a helium flash at any time.

The power manifested by the manifestation authority was materialized by the force of the manifestation authority.

Logically, since it was the manifestation authority's power, Vorthis should be able to convert the manifested object back into manifestation power and then reclaim it.

Vorthis instinctively felt this was possible.

However, he couldn't yet perform this kind of reversal ability with the manifestation.

But it wasn't a big deal. The little fireball was still under Vorthis's control, as long as there was no external force powerful enough to interfere, it would remain stable.

It was just an ordinary glowing sphere.

Vorthis stroked his chin, and an idea formed in his mind.

He then summoned the little fireball back into his hand. The fireball's diameter was 10 cm, neither too big nor too small.

Vorthis used the manifestation authority to create a special, delicate glass cabinet to contain it.

Now, the little fireball was encased in a square glass.

With the glass layer, it seemed much safer than directly touching the fireball.

Vorthis weighed it in his hand, feeling it was quite good.

"Morax, look! My lighting fixture!" Vorthis said, showing off the new creation like a toy, tossing the fireball to Morax.

Morax's mouth twitched slightly.

This... this is something only Vorthis could pull off.

It indeed looked like a delicate lighting tool, but... who could guess what kind of power it would unleash?

Forget it.

Since it's under Vorthis's control, it should be safe.

Let him do whatever he wants.

Just... don't put it in his room.
