Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 177: Infinite Dragon God, I Want You to Submit to the Heavenly Principle

Chapter 177 - Infinite Dragon God, I Want You to Submit to the Heavenly Principle

The three Old Satan Faction leaders appeared.

"Hmph!"

Creuserey sneered at the invaders now surrounded by their army.

"I must admit, you invaders are bold—daring to march straight into the stronghold of the Trueblood devils."

Katerea mocked, "I can't imagine how spineless Sirzechs and those cowards must be. So many devils in the Underworld submitting to a measly few dozen intruders."

Shalba declared arrogantly, "Enough talk! Let's kill this rabble, then wipe out those impostors!"

They didn't know exactly what kind of power these invaders held to make Sirzechs submit with the entire devil race, but they had been given the Infinite Dragon God Ophis's power of infinity.

Just a group of invaders, nothing more. Besides, Ophis was still watching from the castle rooftop.

If she intervened, these invaders would be annihilated in an instant.

As the three lower-god-level devils blustered, Xianyun, Moon Carver, Keqing, Ningguang, and other Middle Gods looked at them like they were watching fools perform.

Now a Middle God, Yanfei muttered, "Are they blind? Can't they see how outmatched they are?"

Keqing shook her head. "They've done too many wicked things. Their minds are probably already twisted."

She could easily kill them in one strike—but rules were rules. Kings fought kings, generals fought generals. You can't steal someone else's merit.

After all, if you're eating meat, you should let others have some soup.

ROOOAAAR—

At the three Old Satan's command, the devil army flooded forward, surrounding the area with magical attacks.

Devils specialized in a wide range of offensive spells—scorching beams, explosive fireballs, waves of shock energy, all rained down like a storm toward the gods.

Zzzzzap! BOOM!

"Mirror Flower, Water Moon—"

Nurarihyon instantly drew his blade and activated divine power, casting an illusion that confused the battlefield and clouded the minds of every devil.

Their attacks went completely off target, failing to strike a single god.

Toga unsheathed Tessaiga and charged directly at one of the lower-god-level devils.

"You brainless fools—open your dog eyes."

"You don't even know your own limits and dare to act so arrogantly? You deserve to die here today!"

Since becoming a god, he'd trained relentlessly, improving the quality of his divine power and mastering various sword arts. Now, he stood at the peak of the Lower God. After this mission, he'd likely ascend to Middle God.

These three lower-god devils clearly had borrowed power. They were nothing but hollow shells—frauds.

Creuserey panicked as Toga charged in with an aura stronger than his own. Before he could react, searing pain shot through his shoulder.

"AAAAHHH—!"

He clutched his shoulder and screamed.

Toga tossed the severed arm aside with disdain. "You can't even react to my attack? Pathetic."

"Creuserey?!"

Shalba was stunned, but before he could move, pain shot through his leg. He looked down—it was gone.

"AAAAAHHH—!"

BOOM!

All the quasi-gods had been granted divine flight. The moment the battle began, they charged into the devil ranks.

Among the devils, few were Ultimate-class. Most were low- or mid-tier. Ultimate-class devils were extremely rare.

But quasi-gods already possessed partial divine essence. Even in one-on-one fights, Ultimate-class devils couldn't match them.

"Butterfly Leads to Rebirth!"

Hu Tao wielded the ancestral Staff of Homa, releasing blazing Pyro energy as she rushed the devils.

Without hesitation, she incinerated one devil after another. Each thrust of her spear turned them to ash.

Though Hu Tao wasn't naturally inclined to battle, she had been trained since childhood in her family's spear arts. With additional elemental techniques taught by Consultant Zhongli and the cultivation strength granted by her Vision, she moved with precision and confidence.

Even without much real combat experience, her movements were fluid and decisive.

Especially with the Divine Pantheon Blueprint marking which devils could be killed—every marked target was irredeemably wicked.

She showed no hesitation.

If they were unforgivable in this life, let them be sent to the Underworld for atonement. With luck, maybe they'd reincarnate better in the next life.

Oh—but these devils' souls likely wouldn't reincarnate. They were destined for the Abyss.

Above the floating mountain range, the battle raged on.

Though there were only dozens of quasi-gods, and the Khaos Brigade's combined numbers of devils, dark mages, and fallen angels exceeded ten thousand, the gods' blessings made the battlefield laughably one-sided.

Nurarihyon's illusions thoroughly confused the enemies. Not a single attack landed on a quasi-god. Meanwhile, Xianyun and others shielded the quasi-gods with divine blessings.

It was a massacre—like mowing down grass.

"...Hm?"

At that moment, Xianyun, Moon Carver Ningguang, Keqing, and all the Middle Gods suddenly tensed. Their gazes turned skyward.

A girl sat in mid-air—wearing black clothes, a bowtie at her neck, a maid's headband on her hair, and puffy white pants.

Her black eyes were utterly devoid of interest in the world around her.

A voice without emotion echoed:

"Invaders from another world—are you here for me?"

Ophis released no aura. Not even the faintest ripple of emotion.

Had she chosen to hide herself, even Primary Gods wouldn't have sensed her approach.

In an instant, all the Middle Gods stood on guard. Cold sweat dripped from their temples.

No one spoke. They simply stared at the little girl.

They already knew from prior intel—this child held power beyond comprehension.

The Infinite Dragon God, Ophis.

The next second, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The space overhead fragmented like building blocks. From the rift, Asmoday emerged, her golden eyes locked onto Ophis.

Her voice was cold and emotionless as she raised her hand. Floating in her palm was a cube formed from pure space law.

"Infinite Dragon God Ophis, I demand you submit to the Heavenly Principle. Submit to the divine order."

As she spoke, a trace of her master's power radiated from her.

Ophis's face remained expressionless. Her flat voice replied:

"You wish to defeat me? Impossible. I am Infinity. I cannot be defeated."

Asmoday's face remained expressionless. "If that's the case, then we'll subdue you by force."

Without another word, she unleashed the full force of her Authority. The spatial cube in her hand shot toward Ophis.

Wherever the spatial cube passed, the entire space disassembled into geometric blocks, forming a massive wave of spatial cubes in an instant.

Although Asmoday was known for her straightforward mind, she clearly understood the power Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God, possessed. By sheer intuition alone, she knew Ophis was not any weaker than her—especially as the embodiment of the Ouroboros.

She understood all too well what kind of absolute dominance the Ouroboros's power held under the principle of "Truth."

But she was the Maintainer of Heavenly Principles, and within her body flowed a portion of that divine force—including a fragment of the Ouroboros itself.

Ophis, staring at the strange god who suddenly struck, manifested a halo of two serpents biting each other's tails behind her.

A pale violet force erupted from her body. The surrounding space, matter, and laws were all distorted by the power of infinity.

The wave of spatial cubes lost momentum under the interference of her infinite power, and within a second, began to dissolve, returning to normal space.

Though the tidal wave faded, the initial cube Asmoday threw still shot directly at Ophis.

BOOM—

Caught off guard, Ophis was struck and pushed back.

For the first time, her previously emotionless expression shifted.

"That higher serpent's power... was it given to you by Him?"

Asmoday ignored her question and, without hesitation, closed the gap with another spatial assault. Her palm opened toward Ophis.

Behind her, the space ruptured as serpents formed from spatial cubes launched themselves at Ophis.

After taking a minor hit, Ophis grew serious. Her Ouroboros ring glowed, and infinite power surged forth as she launched her counterattack.

Her attacks were simple and brutal—either beams of pure infinite force or physical blows using fists and feet.

It made sense. She was a dragon. Her most trusted weapons were her breath and her body.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Their combat was blindingly fast. Even Middle Gods on the battlefield couldn't track their movements, only seeing flashes of light colliding repeatedly in the air.

Each clash tore space asunder, shattering sections into cubic fragments.

Every impact rippled across the Underworld's boundary. Countless floating islands and mountains broke apart and plummeted.

It was as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Concerned that the battle would affect others on assignment, Asmoday shattered the surrounding world barrier and pulled Ophis into the Dimensional Gap.

Ophis looked around. The familiar and comforting surroundings lifted her mood slightly.

She gazed curiously at the strange god trying to defeat her.

"You broke the barrier to bring me here? Isn't that a disadvantage for you?"

"The Dimensional Gap is my birthplace. Here, my serpent can unleash its full potential."

Asmoday's golden eyes shimmered. A symbol of the Ouroboros appeared around her pupils, and behind her, a phantom Ouroboros ring emerged.

She spoke coldly:

"Infinite Dragon God, Ophis. Your strength is equal to that of a Supreme God in our Pantheon. But I can draw upon the power of the Heavenly Principle. Defeating you is only a matter of time."

"No matter how you resist, the final outcome is the same—you will be subdued by our Heavenly Principle."

Being back in the Dimensional Gap made Ophis feel unusually at ease. A slight curve even appeared at the corner of her lips, though her eyes remained as indifferent to the world as ever.

"I understand what you're saying," she said. "But what meaning does it hold for me?"

Asmoday's voice turned razor-sharp and cold. "Then I'll start by breaking you."

"To our master—I, Asmoday, request to borrow your strength."

[Permission granted.]

Noah's voice echoed inAsmoday's ears.

In an instant, Asmoday's aura surged, overwhelming even Ophis.

Most notably, the Ouroboros force she wielded now matched Ophis's own.

Ophis paused in surprise.

She had known that the one who shared her origin possessed a stronger version of the serpent's power—but she hadn't expected a derivative of that power to equal her own.

When she granted others her serpent's power, even a small portion would be enough to tear them apart.

But the serpent bestowed upon this unfamiliar god had no such limitations.

Clearly, the power of infinity had exceeded what this god should be able to withstand.

Though intrigued by this anomaly, Ophis was even more curious about the serpent who shared her origin.

Yet Asmoday gave her no time to ask.

BOOM—!

Scarlet and violet beams streaked across the Dimensional Gap, crashing into each other.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

...

Meanwhile—

Heaven Realm.

After subduing the Red Dragon God Emperor, Noah brought her directly to the domain of the Biblical God.

The atmosphere here was somewhat similar to his own courtyard—full of sanctity, but lacking the whimsical beauty of a fairy tale.

A divine palace in pure white and gold stood atop a floating island wreathed in holy clouds.

At the highest point within the palace sat a throne, and hovering above it was a golden armillary sphere-like construct made of divine light.

This was the "System" of the Biblical Pantheon—the supreme authority that managed this divine faction.

Every organized pantheon, except the scattered or disjointed ones, had such a system.

It formed the very core of the pantheon—holding together all its miracles, authorities, and laws.

It was much like his own Divine Pantheon Blueprint—except his was far more advanced.

At present, the systems used by the various DXD-world pantheons were merely first-generation. In contrast, his Divine Pantheon Blueprint was version 2.0.

If any of those lesser systems were brought into a lower-tier world like Inuyasha's, whoever obtained it would undoubtedly ascend to the Eternal Throne.

Noah beckoned, and the Biblical System flew into his hand.

Like a pet returning to its master, it landed in his palm and shrank to the size of a ping-pong ball.

"After all," Noah said, "I'm the one true God. At best, the Biblical God was just a watered-down version of me."

"Even if the Kabbalah of the Biblical System is still in seed form... a mosquito is still meat."

"By taking over the Biblical Pantheon, I've basically claimed a fifth of the DXD world's authority."
