Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 161: Boros Strikes, Esdeath Enters the Battle

A massive fire elemental burst condensed into a fiery bird hundreds of meters long.

Of course, the spaceship interior didn't have that much space, so the firebird formed a column of flames that filled the entire corridor, engulfing every grotesque alien in sight.

"Aaaahhh—"

Under the pillar of fire, the aliens disintegrated into ash at a speed visible to the naked eye. When it was over, all that remained was a corridor dripping with molten, crimson metal.

Diluc didn't stop. He kept running deeper into the corridor.

The interior of the ship was a complex maze, with over 100,000 aliens inside. These aliens, who aimed to destroy the planet, were all valuable targets for merit.

Because the corridors were so numerous and branched, almost everyone who entered the ship split up, with only a few people sticking together.

"Wind Pressure Slash—"

Jean, now a Middle God, activated the Rule of Wind within the ship, generating a tornado that rampaged through the interior, wreaking havoc. Countless grotesque aliens were swept into its vortex.

RUMBLE—CRACKLE—WHOOSH—

The tornado shredded the inner structure of the ship. Debris turned into a giant meat grinder, tearing apart any aliens sucked in.

Each alien that was pulled in only had time to let out half a scream before vanishing into the storm.

And since the interior was a sealed structure, the effect was like a vacuum cleaner, sucking aliens continuously from the corridors.

Of course, Jean had accounted for friendly fire—she adjusted the tornado's suction power so her allies could resist it.

Right now, battles were breaking out all over the spaceship.

"Demon King's Parade! Outta the way—"

Boom—

"Aaaaah! Help!"

"Don't come any closer!"

"Hahaha, smash it all!"

...

Control room of the spaceship.

BEEP—BEEP—BEEP—

Red lights flashed, and the shrill alarms sent the alien crew into a panic.

"Aaaaah! Lord Geryuganshoop! We've got massive intrusions on the ship!"

"Yes! What do we do!? They're everywhere, closing in fast! So many crew members are already dead!"

The octopus-like alien looked at the surveillance screens, frantic.

"What!? Not only was the ship's attack blocked by some mysterious barrier, but now more than a dozen natives have appeared, each no weaker than our top three elite warriors!"

"There was no sign of such powerful lifeforms on this planet before! What is going on!?"

"Thankfully, those native elites are still outside, attacking the ship's exterior. The intruders inside should be manageable."

"Melzargard! Groribas! You two, do you hear me? Don't go outside the ship—return immediately and—huh?"

Before the octopus alien could finish, he saw the two top-level warriors who had just rushed out get instantly swarmed and obliterated—less than a second passed.

"This is bad... this is really bad...!" The alien broke into a cold sweat.

...

Ship Core

Boros felt the tremors run through the ship and rose from his throne in the engine room.

Expressionless, he walked toward the control room.

"I can feel it. Every cell in my body is trembling."

"This is the thrill of facing a worthy opponent."

His single eye looked toward a certain direction.

"Such overwhelming killing intent... half the planet is bathed in it. Hehe... hehehe."

"That prophet didn't lie after all. This planet truly has warriors who can give me a battle to remember."

"So it's not an attack... it's an invitation for me to come to them?"

"Fine. Since you're inviting me so sincerely, I'll humor you—after all, you're a worthy opponent."

The door to the ship's control room opened, and Boros saw his most capable subordinate cursing in panic.

"Geryuganshoop, what are you doing?"

The octopus-like alien broke into a cold sweat, trembling in fear. "Lord Boros! I deeply apologize."

"The ship... it was accidentally infiltrated by the natives of this planet."

"In just three minutes, the damage rate has reached 27%."

"There are 76 intruders inside. Also... Melzargard and Groribas... they were killed shortly after leaving the ship to fight."

Boros said calmly, "No need to panic."

"As long as the core power sphere isn't destroyed, the ship won't fall."

"I'm going outside now to eliminate this planet's strongest warrior. Your only job is to protect the power sphere."

The alien breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though the planet's natives were powerful, once Lord Boros made a move, none of them would stand a chance.

Without another word, Boros turned and left expressionlessly.

...

Meanwhile,

The situation in City A was being broadcast live across the world. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

People working, at home, or on the street—everyone stared at their phones, TVs, or mall screens.

[Just moments ago, a mysterious flying object appeared over City A. We now bring you live coverage...]

On the ground in City A, a reporter shouted excitedly,

"We're live at the scene! Look—City A is now completely covered by a golden barrier. It was this barrier that blocked the alien ship's destructive attack!"

"The city is now under full lockdown!"

The reporter then pointed to the sky.

"And over there! Unregistered ultra-S-Class heroes are launching a fierce assault on the alien ship, protecting City A!"

"A massive section of the ship's outer shell has already been destroyed. Their power is unbelievable!"

"Here it is! An official statement from the Hero Association!"

"Over 130 S-Class-level heroes are now engaged in battle with the aliens—what? They're not affiliated with the Association?"

"Well... in any case, there are more than 130 S-Class warriors fighting!"

"This is the prophecy left behind by Madame Shibabawa—that Earth would face annihilation."

"These 130+ warriors are the planet's last line of defense. They are fighting to protect Earth!"

As the reporter shouted with excitement, a blinding light flared from the alien spaceship.

BOOM—

A deafening explosion erupted, followed by a rising mushroom cloud of fire that engulfed the entire top of the ship. A terrifying shockwave swept across City A.

People screamed instantly.

If not for the protection of the spatial barrier, the whole city would have been flattened.

This shocking scene was broadcast worldwide—leaving the entire planet stunned and breathless.

...

Atop the spaceship, all of the Teyvat gods paused their attacks to defend against the sudden energy surge.

After withstanding it, they looked toward the source of the blast.

Their expressions turned grave.

As the operation's core members, they understood exactly what was happening inside the ship—and they knew who could produce that level of an attack.

An armored figure with spiky purple hair, blue skin, and a single eye slowly emerged on the ship's hull.

Toga, Jean, and the other mid- and lower-tier gods tensed instantly at the sight of the one-eyed alien.

This was an enemy with power on par with a Supreme God.

If they fought, they would be annihilated in an instant.

Boros said calmly, "Small fry, move aside."

His gaze stayed locked on one direction—where a small ice-blue dot in the distant sky was rapidly approaching.

"The opponent I seek is this planet's strongest warrior."

Upon hearing Boros' words, the tense gods instantly vanished from sight, slipping into the golden spatial barrier like streaks of light.

The upcoming battle was no place for small fry like them.

A battle between Supreme Gods—just imagining it made them breathless. Even a stray aftershock could obliterate them.

So they escaped, without hesitation.

The live news reporter saw the sudden retreat and quickly began a live update.

"This is a follow-up report. Just now, an explosion engulfed all of City A from the spaceship."

"Fortunately, thanks to the protective barrier, City A suffered no damage aside from tremors."

"We are not yet sure what exactly happened... Wait! The S-Class heroes who were fighting have suddenly stopped their attacks and retreated behind the barrier!"

"What's going on?!"

"To better understand the situation, we've decided to attempt a risky interview with one of the retreating heroes."

At that moment, people around the globe were glued to their screens, watching the live broadcast.

Toga wiped the cold sweat from his brow, his limbs going numb. Damn, just making eye contact with that one-eyed alien felt like being killed on the spot.

Just then, a helicopter approached with a loud whirring noise.

Toga looked up. As a god who had hung out in modern chat groups, he was familiar with the workings of this world. He had trained from the Warring States era all the way into the modern age.

Of course he knew about news, reporters, and so on.

His eyes lit up.

According to their earlier plan, weren't they supposed to spread influence, promote the Vision system, and similar things?

Sure, this had turned into a forceful invasion, but that didn't mean the original plan was useless.

This was still merit—major merit.

As the helicopter cautiously approached, the war correspondent leaned out with a mic, trembling with fear and excitement, shouting, "Hero, sir! Can we interview you?!"

Toga beamed and waved boldly at the helicopter. "Come on over! Don't be scared just because I've got pointy ears—I'm actually a super helpful guy. Interview? I'll give you a live explanation."

With that, he jumped into the helicopter.

"Excuse me—"

Facing a global broadcast, Toga cleared his throat and began to explain everything—from the origins of the spaceship, the Dark Matter Thieves, their planet-destroying leader Boros, to the involvement of the Teyvat forces.

Of course, he couldn't admit they were invaders. He simply explained that this Earth was a parallel world. In the vast multiverse, there were countless Earths.

They were guardians of Earth's existence. In the weaker timelines, they were seen as gods.

Whenever an Earth faced destruction, they would appear to save it.

"First off, my name is Toga, blah blah blah..."

"This barrier you see—it was placed by one of our top-tier powerhouses. It now envelops the entire planet."

"Whenever a battle threatens human civilization, the barrier activates."

"See that small blue dot rapidly approaching from over there? That's the strongest being who descended to Earth. She's here to eliminate Boros—the evil leader of the cosmic pirate group trying to destroy Earth."

He pointed outside the barrier.

The war correspondent excitedly continued narrating.

People around the world watched as a mysterious hero protecting City A explained everything happening.

No one had expected that they came from a parallel Earth—and that their mission was to protect Earth.

Without them, Earth truly would have been doomed.

The Dark Matter Thieves, their leader Boros—a being powerful enough to destroy planets. Just hearing that was enough to leave anyone in awe.

After the successful interview with Toga, war correspondents everywhere rushed to interview the heroes who had retreated behind the barrier.

Some reporters turned their cameras toward the blue streak rushing through the sky like a meteor.

That figure—an ultra-powerful being capable of contending with a planet-destroying alien.

The blue meteor quickly came into focus.

The footage, broadcast via satellite, reached television screens across the globe.

It was a woman walking through the air—knee-length blue hair, piercing blue eyes, her entire body radiating with an icy-blue energy flow. She exuded the aura of a great general, holding a military saber as she advanced toward the enemy.

Although she appeared to be walking, her speed was bizarrely fast—almost instantaneous to the average observer.

To ordinary people, it looked no different from teleportation.

The Hero Association's staff and heroes held their breath, eyes glued to the screen, watching this woman who might be Earth's last hope against a planet-destroying threat.

Meanwhile, the camera also stayed fixed on the evil, one-eyed alien atop the spaceship.

The entire world was on edge. A battle of apocalyptic proportions was about to begin.

Some people at home were steeping tea while watching the live broadcast, so stunned they didn't even notice their tea overflowing.

...

Boros gazed at the blue figure that had stopped less than a thousand meters away, his single eye focused.

So this was the planet's representative... its strongest warrior?

He sensed a vast, unfathomable power—one nearly equal to his own.

Esdeath stared back, her cold killing intent flaring as a twisted, mad smile crept across her lips.

"Excellent. So strong. Even without a Rule, you're absurdly powerful. I'm satisfied to face an opponent like you."

Boros grinned. "So you're like me."

"I became too strong. In the end, no one in the universe dared to challenge me."

"That boredom was pure agony."

"Seems you've suffered the same fate—no worthy rivals left on your planet, huh?"

"But I was fortunate. A prophet told me that on a faraway planet, someone existed who could finally give me a satisfying fight."

"Twenty years have passed, and I've finally found them."

"Even my subordinates thought I was using this as an excuse to avoid battle."

His eye lit with bloodshot excitement as he bared rows of shark-like teeth.

"Now I know that prophecy was true."

"Since we both yearn for battle, then today—only one of us will stand. Give me the thrill of a lifetime."

Boros roared with excitement.

"Before we fight, allow me to introduce myself."

"I am Boros, leader of the Dark Matter Thieves, Dominator of the Universe."

CRACK—CRACK—ZZZZZZ—

As he spoke, terrifying energy surged from him. His armor began to shatter, and glowing fissures appeared along the cracks.

"This divine armor seals my overwhelming power."

"To face a warrior like you, I offer my full respect. Hehehe..."

"AHHHHHH—"

HUMM—BOOM—

The armor shattered completely, releasing an explosion of energy as blinding as a miniature sun.

Esdeath sneered. The blue aura around her burst forth, equally dazzling—two radiant cores standing in opposition.

She raised her saber-like divine weapon and pointed it at Boros, instantly adopting a battle stance.

"Hehehe... Supreme God of the Teyvat Pantheon—Esdeath. I'm here to take your head."

Boros howled with joy, "Come—!"

In the next instant, he transformed into a violet meteor, shooting straight at Esdeath.

The distance of a thousand meters vanished in a blink. His fist, devoid of technique and driven only by sheer violence, aimed straight for Esdeath's head.

BOOM—
