Genshin Impact: Supreme Justice of Teyvat - Chapter 4

Chapter Four: The Twisted Shadow! The Sacrifice to the Evil God!

Lu Yu turned his head, but looking through the glass, all he saw was the pitch-black night sky. Nothing was there!

Was it just my imagination?

Or maybe a bird?

But even a bird striking the glass wouldn’t make such a rhythmic knocking sound!

Could it be something unclean paying a visit?

Various suspicions surfaced in Lu Yu’s mind. If it was indeed something unclean, he might actually feel… excited!

That’s right—excited!

Thanks to the Monster Editing System, he could extract materials from all things in existence, as long as the target didn’t resist!

And with those materials, he could create one monster after another, gaining their abilities in the process!

Even the most mediocre person could tread the path of supreme power with such talents.

What’s more, Lu Yu never considered himself mediocre. In his previous life, despite being an orphan, he had amassed millions in assets through his own efforts.

Now, with the assistance of a stronger system, he was determined to soar high, spreading his wings to the farthest horizons!

Crack, crack, crack!

Just as he was pondering, the strange sound came again. This time, strands of black hair began to fall, growing denser by the second!

“Is Sadako coming out? Didn’t she always use televisions? What’s she doing with glass now? This is a dead-end strategy!”

Lu Yu quipped, taking a step back. He mentally commanded the Fear Balloon to float up to the ceiling and stay put.

“Eek eek!”

The Fear Balloon paused, its grotesque face contorted with confusion, as though it couldn’t understand why its supreme master wanted it to stay still.

Nevertheless, it obediently floated in place. To keep itself from swaying in the breeze, it even lifted one of its yellow ribbons, looped it around the ceiling light, and tied a bow!

After this meticulous effort, it happily looked at Lu Yu, seemingly waiting for praise.

This idiot!

Lu Yu couldn’t help but roll his eyes, and his tension dissipated somewhat.

The eerie atmosphere had been utterly ruined by the Fear Balloon’s antics. It was impossible to feel scared anymore!

At least show some respect to the ghost with the long hair outside—it has its dignity too!

Bang!

A hand suddenly slapped against the glass outside. But that was only the beginning.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

More and more hands began pressing against the glass. Dark red blood oozed from between the fingers, trailing down the surface and leaving crimson streaks.

The “ghost” outside slowly began descending, revealing its true form!

It had a human head, with a man’s face, but its hair hung like wet seaweed draped over its shoulders.

If that were all, it wouldn’t have been too remarkable. But its lower body was a massive ball of flesh, sprouting eight arms like a spider!

The eight limbs clung to the wall with an eerie adhesive quality, supporting its weight as it stood.

“What the hell is this? A human-spider hybrid? Disgusting!”

Even Lu Yu couldn’t suppress a gag reflex. It wasn’t fear—just a natural reaction to seeing such a grotesque form!

The creature looked like a spider wearing human skin.

Utterly revolting!

“Grrrk…”

The spider-like creature tilted its head. Its pitch-black eyes peered through the glass at Lu Yu, and it opened its insect-like mandibles to utter a raspy, guttural voice:

“Was it you just now? Were you spying on our sacred ritual for the Spider God, you lowly, inferior creature?”

“A ritual? Inferior creature? Are you a servant of an evil god?”

Lu Yu quickly realised the truth. This wasn’t a ghost or demon as he’d initially thought.

This was one of the evil god’s followers he had glimpsed earlier. Who’d have thought they’d come knocking so quickly?

The creature before him was clearly a being twisted by the power of an evil god—a spawn, if it could even be called that.

Such beings had forsaken their humanity entirely—abandoning dignity, emotions, and memories—to become mindless slaves of the evil god!

Lu Yu recalled purchasing travelogues that detailed information about evil god rituals. This creature was undoubtedly a product of such a ritual!

Judging by its degree of mutation and its mention of the “Spider God,” Lu Yu surmised that once it grew eight single eyes, it would fully transform into a spider and begin weaving webs across the city to hunt humans!

“Evil god?”

The spider creature’s human face twisted with displeasure. In a fanatical tone, it declared:

“No! His Eminence is not an evil god! Lord Atlach-Nacha is a noble, benevolent god! He resides in the Dreamlands, merciful and compassionate, with the most beautiful form in existence!

You pathetic humans could never comprehend His greatness!

In the space between dreams and reality, He weaves a grand bridge. Once it is complete, He will descend, bringing paradise with Him!”

As it spoke, the creature’s face grew even more distorted. Its flesh split apart, revealing a grotesque insectoid eye.

The new eye fixed on Lu Yu, emitting a low, menacing growl:

“I had planned to wait until tomorrow, but since you’ve witnessed our ritual, you shall become a sacrifice to His Eminence!”

With that, it raised its limb-like forearms and brought them down in a fierce strike!
