Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 166: Tornado Is Still a Kid Who Needs Pampering

Outside the Hero Association headquarters, a sea of reporters had already gathered, their cameras flashing non-stop.

As soon as the S-Class heroes began their march, the wide avenue was instantly cleared for them.

Jean, clad in the uniform of the Knights of Favonius, led the charge at the front. Under the spotlight of countless eyes, she looked every bit like a true Knight King.

But in truth, she far surpassed such a title. Not only was she a central figure in the divine system, she had also studied governance from multiple worlds. Even if she were to lead a country from scratch, she could do so flawlessly.

Kamisato Ayato was full of emotion. This was his second campaign.

Compared to the first time, the scale of this one was on an entirely different level—perhaps many levels higher.

Last time, he had merely been a Vision holder. This time, he had descended as a powerful Middle God.

Toga touched the three swords at his waist, enviously eyeing Jean and Kamisato Ayato at the front.

Middle Gods... After completing this mission, even if he didn't become one yet, he would surely be close.

Currently, among those who had descended to this planet, only Jean and Kamisato Ayato were Middle Gods. Seven others were Lower Gods, and the rest were quasi-gods.

Even quasi-gods, to the Hero Association, were already equivalent to S-Class heroes—especially considering how wildly S-Class power levels varied.

From behind the adults, several children peeked out and shouted excitedly at the departing group:

"They're coming out!"

"Big brother and sister heroes, good luck!"

"Please drive away all the monsters!"

Kaeya waved and smiled warmly. "Haha, good kids. Don't worry. Big Brother Kaeya will definitely chase away all the bad guys."

Lisa also waved with a gentle smile.

"Children are always so innocent and adorable, no matter the world."

"Speaking of which, after this mission, I must ask the Hero Association to help me gather this world's books."

"The knowledge of other worlds is always so captivating."

Kaeya sweat-dropped. "Miss Lisa, always the diligent librarian, I see."

He then looked at his half-brother, Diluc, who wore his usual sullen expression.

"Even on a mission in another world, you're still pulling that sour face, huh? I can't even remember the last time I saw you smile."

Diluc replied expressionlessly, "Perhaps I'll smile once I become a god."

If he had the power of a god, tragedies like what happened to his father would never happen again.

Kaeya shrugged. "Oh~ is that so? I'll be looking forward to it."

Becoming a god... that much was all but guaranteed. Completing this mission would likely secure them that chance.

Still, Kaeya knew what Diluc truly cared about wasn't divinity. It was the wish he could make after the mission—and Diluc would undoubtedly wish for their father to return.

"Ah, another battle... I wonder if this world has bug fighting? I should ask later."

Arataki Itto, the oni with two horns on his head, puffed his chest with pride and scanned the crowd.

"Hahaha! So many people! Looks like I'm super popular, huh? They're all shouting 'hero' at me! Hahaha!"

Kuki Shinobu sighed beside him. "Boss, please restrain yourself. Don't go doing weird stuff in the middle of a mission."

"If anything goes wrong, and Shogun-sama gets angry, she might just use you for blade practice."

Arataki Itto grinned, nodding confidently. Goofy yet bold: "Don't worry, I've got this! You, the brain of the Arataki Gang, are keeping an eye on me, right? Nothing's gonna go wrong."

"Then you'd better follow my instructions the entire time," Kuki Shinobu muttered with a headache. Shogun-sama had given strict orders—any mishap would be catastrophic. If she said that, it meant the consequences were unimaginable.

She would have to keep a close watch on her boss. If he caused any trouble, they were done for.

Itto thumped his chest. "Just gotta smash those freaky monsters, right? I'll crush them all!"

Floating in midair, Tatsumaki glanced at her fellow comrades chatting amongst themselves, eyes darting around.

She puffed out her cheeks.

Everyone was chatting, and not a single person came to talk to her?

"Hmph! What's the big deal! Just you wait—I'll kill more monsters than any of you..." she muttered, crossing her arms with a cold snort.

...

Meanwhile, the entire world was watching.

Televisions blared news broadcasts:

[Currently, over a hundred powerful S-Class heroes have joined forces with the Hero Association to launch a global crusade against all monsters.]

[As you can see, aside from the one undisclosed God-level hero, the two strongest currently known heroes are leading the top-tier S-Classes to the most heavily infested monster zones.]

[Each city will be assigned several S-Class heroes to take part in the mission.]

[According to the Hero Association's released plan: A-Class heroes will cooperate with S-Classes to protect civilians.]

[B-Class and C-Class heroes are responsible for logistics and maintaining order.]

Citizens watching the departure of so many S-Class heroes felt fired up by the energy and atmosphere.

"Amazing!"

"They're already moving out! So fast!"

"Just watching them gives me a sense of security!"

"They say the strongest among them are Lady Jean and Lord Kamisato Ayato!"

"I heard even among the S-Class, there are levels—starting from Genshin, then Lower God, Middle God, and Jean-sama is one of the strongest Middle Gods!"

"They say even the Hero Association's Number One S-Class can't compare!"

...

In a supermarket, Psykos watched through her remote-controlled eyes, staring at the large screen, her pupils trembling.

"What?! The Monster Association hasn't even made a move yet, and no human outside the monsters themselves should know of our existence—how do those S-Classes from a parallel world know where we are?!"

"This is bad! Really, really bad!"

Her eyes shrank in alarm.

"Could it be... some of them have information-gathering powers? Or even abilities like mine that glimpse into the future?"

"Damn it! It's too late to stay hidden now! Even transferring locations won't make it in time!"

She stared at the screen, drenched in cold sweat, watching those hundred-plus S-Class heroes mobilizing.

Psykos was trembling.

...

Monster Association.

Using her clone, Gyoro Gyoro, Psykos had the information-spreading monsters alert every monster of the S-Class heroes' mass mobilization to begin extermination.

The strongest S-Class heroes were already en route to the Association's base—it was too late to relocate.

All monsters were ordered to prepare for battle.

While twisted, most monsters weren't stupid. They understood the odds of escaping were slim with so many S-Class heroes mobilized, so they bared their fangs, ready to fight.

Fuhrer Ugly twisted his bloated body and sneered. "Hehehe, S-Class heroes? Aside from that God-level freak, I'd like to see if I can kill a few."

Homeless Emperor picked his nose. "So many S-Class, huh? Doesn't matter. My power comes from a god. No way S-Class heroes can stand up to divine strength."

Just a month ago, he had been a regular homeless man—jobless, evicted, and despised. The more he thought about it, the more he hated humanity.

Then a god noticed him and granted him power.

Dragon-level monster Nyan licked his paw and grinned menacingly. "I love shredding humans with my claws."

Black Sperm muttered, "Didn't expect them so soon. Oh well, guess we're doing this."

Growl...

A deep, unsettling growl echoed. A Dragon-level, dog-like monster swelled in size, drooling as it approached Black Sperm.

"Hey hey, Pochi! I'm not dog food, alright?"

Black Sperm had the ability to divide and merge his cells. Each split cell became a new entity, and once matured, fusing together made him even stronger.

He was immune to slashing attacks due to his regenerative division, and even if one body died, the others lived on.

Currently, the Monster Association didn't have many Dragon-level monsters:

Fuhrer Ugly, Pochi, Nyan, Black Sperm, Evil Natural Water, Homeless Emperor, the voluntarily monstrous ninja brothers, martial tournament champion Choze, and Elder Centipede.

Plus Psykos and the near-god-level Orochi.

The base itself had over a hundred levels, housing more than 100,000 monsters. Even more lurked in the ruined city above.

...

Meanwhile, Jean, Kamisato Ayato, Toga, and other gods—along with Tornado—had arrived in the ruined city.

This city had been abandoned since the nuclear war a hundred years ago.

Rust-covered rails still lined the ground. Derelict trains lay on the tracks, and skyscrapers stood in ruin.

Toga rubbed his nose. "The stink of monsters... it's all around us."

All present were god-level beings. When they spread their divine senses, nothing above or below the surface escaped their perception.

Countless monsters lay hidden in sewers, ruined buildings, and even tiny cracks.

Squish, squelch—

Disgusting noises filled the air. Sewer grates were pushed open. Sludge-like monsters oozed out of cracks, bizarre and grotesque.

In just two breaths, they were surrounded from all sides.

The air thickened with filth, pierced by nauseating sounds.

A massive, ten-meter-tall monster cloaked in black appeared. Its exposed flesh was covered in multi-colored eyeballs, resembling a grotesque shaman.

In a raspy voice, it spoke.

"Oh dear, I heard there would be tons of S-Class heroes coming... and this is it?"

The surrounding monsters drooled from their mouths.

"Heh heh."

"This isn't enough to eat."

"These are S-Class? Doesn't look like much."

Toga sniffed. "There are over 300,000 monsters on the surface, and more are still gathering."

Kamisato Ayato shook his head. "Villains always talk too much. Let's just get to the extermination."

In the blink of an eye, divine power surged. A blue divine sword appeared in his hand.

"Kamisato Art: Flowing Light—"

Instantly, brilliant blue crescent slashes bloomed like lotus petals.

The entire ruined city was enveloped in glowing blue sword light.

Buzz—

In less than two seconds, the light vanished.

The monsters blinked, completely unharmed, and began to sneer.

"S-Class? That's it? Guess they're not so tough after all."

"Kill them!"

Monsters surged forward in a massive wave.

Ayato calmly smiled. "Let's go."

No one acknowledged the charging monsters.

Tornado frowned. "Wait... what did he do? Why aren't those monsters affected at all?"

Just as she was about to make her move, every single monster suddenly burst into ash.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Like exploding fireworks.

In an instant, every monster in the ruined city turned to dust.

Ayato had annihilated their physical forms from the rules level using his divine power.

As a Middle God, his domain was the Rule of Water.

And on Earth, every lifeform relied on water—even monsters.

Tornado's eyes widened in disbelief. She knew these colleagues were powerful, but she hadn't expected this level of dominance—so overwhelming she couldn't even comprehend it.

For once, her expression turned serious.

"So this is divine power after ascending? Or is it that... rule thing?"

After wiping out all the monsters in the city ruins with one strike—

Toga slashed open the ground, and the gods descended into the Monster Association's underground base.

None of them considered the monsters a threat.

While Dragon-level monsters may have touched the threshold of Lower Gods, it was purely in raw power.

Against even a Lower God, Dragon-level monsters were like chickens waiting to be slaughtered.

As for monsters below that? A single divine sense imbued with divine power wiped them out in waves.

This was more like a cleanup job.

Even Demon-level monsters barely warranted targeting. Just a flick of divine sense was enough.

Most monsters didn't even see their attackers before turning to dust.

Tornado didn't even get a chance to fight. She sulked the entire way, clenching her teeth.

Jean noticed Tornado sulking, arms crossed, lips pursed as if she wanted to speak but held back.

The Commander of Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius—and a Middle God—smiled knowingly.

She understood Tornado's personality all too well.

"Tornado, there's a Dragon-level monster up ahead. We're really curious to see how powerful your psychic powers are. Mind showing us?"

Kamisato Ayato chimed in smoothly. "Yes, I've heard you're this world's strongest esper."
