Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact

"Barbatos, after I sacrificed myself and passed on my power to you, how is Mondstadt doing now under your guidance?"

The lonely king in the huge tower looked down at the tiny Wendy with his condescending and arrogant eyes and asked.

This question was enough to leave Wendy speechless. It was like a parent asking a child who had failed an exam how his grades were...

Nervous and uneasy.

If it was some time ago, Wendy completely handed over power to humans, although it led to the corruption and arrogance of a group of human nobles such as Lawrence, it even created the bloodiest era in Mondstadt.

But later, Wendy trained Vanessa from Nata, and after a series of struggles, things were finally put right.

Afterwards, Vanessa, who had completed her mission, was sacrificed to the sky, in exchange for thousands of years of peace in Mondstadt.

Passed down from generation to generation, although the bad qualities of human beings still exist, Wendy can still deceive himself and then proudly talk to the travelers.

"Mondstadt is a godless country, but also the freest and most romantic country."

Even if this answer is not perfect, it is at least acceptable.

But now... Barbatos, it's really hard to say.

"Oh? You are such a proud god, choosing not to speak? Then why not let you meet another old friend?"

Orochimaru's words were full of joking, and his ten fingers flipped again, clearly the Impure World Reincarnation Seal again! However, the coffin that rose up this time was no longer huge, but a normal human shape.

Who?

Wendy was feeling a little uneasy at the moment. It seemed that he had owed too many people during his time in office.

"What? You can't guess who it is? Well, while you were peacefully "sleeping", could you really not hear the prayers of those children who were captured by the Fatui for experiments day and night?

Oh, right, the crying and praying of those parents. Could it be that the great wind god, the god who can know everything from the wind, really can’t hear them?”

Orochimaru's words already had a sarcastic tone.

As soon as these weak words were spoken, the arrogant and extremely powerful King of the High Tower, who had protected Mondstadt for a thousand years, immediately spewed out white dragon breath in anger.

The Lone King in the Tower cannot understand humans' thoughts, such as tiredness, fear, anger... As a god, he cannot understand any of them, but at least he knows how to protect everyone.

How could we tolerate that children from our own country were sent to other countries to be used as guinea pigs for experiments?

"Barbatos! Is this your rule of man?! You use your own people as bargaining chips in negotiations with other countries? And there are powerful enemies coveting them, how can you just ignore it?"

A huge wind pressure descended from the sky, and just like in the past, it oppressed people so much that they could not stand up straight. Under the power of the strong, people may not live happily, but they can get a safe shelter.

Barbatos, the god of wind, may be in charge of a thousand winds. Even the hurricane controlled by the powerful Screech-Owl cannot cause any harm to Wendy.

But it is different for the Lone King of the Tower, Diecarapian. Wendy’s power was inherited from him and naturally cannot be resolved.

The strong wind destroyed Wendy's body, but his former friend the bard, who was just a mere mortal, did not bow to the strong wind.

Now that I have ascended to the throne of God, how can I bow down to Him?

Wendy straightened his back. Perhaps a bard is the kind of person who is soft all over but always keeps a hard mouth.

“People have their own paths to choose, just like birds must fly high! Even if they may encounter a storm, break their wings, and finally fall to the ground and die.

That is the destiny and freedom that birds are born with. We cannot keep birds imprisoned in cages forever!"

Such naive and ridiculous words did not move Orochimaru, who had already experienced countless hardships, and the paranoid King of the High Tower.

"Romantic till death? How ridiculous. I'm not a little girl who's still reading picture books.

A romantic man is always longing for freedom. Doesn't it regard all those who work hard and long for a better future as fools?

Gods who are high above us should not discuss human romance. The dead have no romance, especially since they leave only endless sorrow and anger to the living.

Orochimaru scoffed at all the idle fantasies. If a bard who sang all day could change the world, what would scientific researchers do?

To calm the lonely king of the tower, "My former king, please calm down for now. The choice and future of human happiness that he mentioned should be answered by humans themselves, right?"

As Orochimaru spoke, the coffin behind Wendy suddenly opened, and scorching flames immediately swept in all directions.

"Incompetent Wind God!" Rosaline's hateful voice echoed in the Abyss Palace. The billowing flames did not bring dawn, but hatred that wanted to burn the world.

"What? Is this a criticism meeting set up for me? Rustan's death in battle might be due to my lack of ability. But I have tried my best, and I believe I have a clear conscience." Wendy just glanced at Rosaline who walked out of the coffin.

Although she was still amazed that Orochimaru could revive the dead, if it was just "Madam" Rosaline, Wendy would be able to subdue her in an instant if she showed her true abilities.

The Fatui executive officer, below the fourth seat. Not enough to force out the true power of the Seven Consuls! Fortunately, Orochimaru couldn't just pull out some high-ranking demon god.

"What a clear conscience! Judging from the mark of the World Tree, when Rosaline fell into hatred and used the Sumeru forbidden technique to transform herself into the Witch of Fire, her target of revenge was still only the monsters.

The monsters she killed and burned for you Mondstadt are even more than those killed and burned by you, the great God of Wind.

But how do you Mond people treat her?

Treat it as a monster and expel it! Did you ever express your apology to her later? What she hated was not just you, Barbatos, but this indifferent country led by you.

A country that can be easily controlled by cults and easily filled with giant babies!

Have you ever really asked people what they want for these "freedoms" and "happiness"? The incompetent kings call it people's self-government.

By the way, I want to ask you something. Where is the soul of Rustan, the vice-captain of the Knights of Favonius?"

Orochimaru ignored the pain of his palms being burned by the boiling magma and gently wiped away Rosaline's tears.

Every question he raised went straight to Wendy's defense. Yes... the bard who longed for freedom and romance was, after all, just an ignorant boy.

It is the nature of young people to be romantic, but such nature will sooner or later be crushed by reality.

The betrayal of the lonely king in the tower and the death of the young man in battle, all of this was just a conspiracy hidden behind the scenes by the nobles led by Lawrence, wasn't it?
