Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 367 The Monster in the Jar

Dou Koda's tall figure slowly walked out from the shadows, his metal boots making crisp sounds as they stepped on the gravel.

"Stop it, you sycophant! I've come here in person today to demand an explanation from you!" Dou Kouda glared at Yite. Although he appeared calm on the surface, the murderous aura emanating from his body had completely exposed his thoughts.

Seeing this, Yite smiled softly: "Hey, why are you so angry, Chief Dou Kou Da? Can't you sit down and talk slowly?"

"Shut up! Ite, if I were really angry, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me." Dou Kouda suppressed his anger. "To cooperate with your plan, I sent my brothers into the city, but because of your plan, we were almost wiped out. And your people, aside from cooperating with us, have done nothing. You don't really think of us as disposable pawns, do you?"

However, after hearing this, Yi Te still smiled nonchalantly and said, "I thought it was nothing, so this is what happened."

"What do you mean just like this!"

"Dou Kouda, please calm down. Perhaps victory means everything to you, but for our brigade, the result is what matters most." Yi Te pushed his glasses up and smiled. "To be honest, to me, this plan is just an experiment, and any variables are just a series of observational data."

"What did you say!"

boom!

Dou Koda's sandbag-sized fist suddenly smashed towards Ite, but in the blink of an eye, the other party easily caught it with one hand.

At this moment, there was a hint of murderous intent in his smiling face.

"Chief Dou Kouda, don't forget that this is our territory. I am being courteous to you because of our cooperative relationship. Please don't be so impulsive." He smiled and then let go of Dou Kouda's hand.

Doukoda pulled his hand back and took a few steps back before realizing his situation. It was then that he realized this guy, Iter, was far more dangerous than he'd imagined. He was more demonic than human.

"But please rest assured, Chief. Our brigade will never go back on its word. Although this operation failed, it will not affect the overall situation." He pushed his cyber glasses and said.

"Really? Then I'd like to ask you, how do you plan to seize Lei Zun's credentials and how do you fulfill the agreement between you and me?" Dou Kouda frowned.

"Of course, if you like, I welcome you to visit the final climax of this experiment." It said with a smile.

"The final climax of the experiment?" Dou Kouda asked in confusion.

Etter didn't answer immediately, but turned and walked deeper into the laboratory. He lightly traced the wall with his finger, and the metal surface rippled like water, revealing a hidden observation room.

"Come with me." He made an inviting gesture.

Dou Kouda hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

Walking through the darkened laboratory corridor, the soles of his boots echoed dully on the metal floor. As the last airlock door opened, the sight before him caused the battle-hardened leader's pupils to shrink suddenly.

Yit led him to a hidden secret laboratory. At this time, a cylindrical incubation chamber a hundred meters high stood in the center of the laboratory.

He followed It to the experimental table. As It pressed the opening button, the giant object in the experimental cabin appeared instantly.

The tempered glass exterior rippled with faint blue coolant. Inside the cabin, a huddled shadow nearly filled the entire space: a mountain of dark golden wings, each feather gleaming with a metallic gleam, slowly undulating as it soaked in the nutrient solution. Its thick claws occasionally twitched unconsciously, their tips grazing the cabin wall in a shower of blinding sparks.

"This is..." Dou Koda's Adam's apple rolled. He saw dozens of cables, each as thick as a bowl, extending from the top of the cabin. They flickered in time with the creature's breathing, as if transmitting lightning to the giant beast.

"Spectacular, isn't it?" It smiled as it gazed at the monster in the incubator. "Thunderbird, Animiki, is mutated from the purest thunder seed in the world. Now, all we need to do is extract the most insane belligerent factor based on the mutated monster's data and inject it into it. We'll create a natural disaster that can rival the Thunder Lord."

"An artificially cultivated natural disaster..." A trace of horror flashed in Dou Kouda's only eye.

"Indeed, this is all thanks to the experimental specimens accidentally discovered by the Sanyang people 200 years ago. The three-headed flame dragon and the Yamata no Orochi were mutants formed due to the contamination of the earth veins. However, compared to those two experimental specimens, the Animiki is the most complete and authentic legend!"

At this moment, Dou Kouda lowered his head and began to ponder: "Indeed, if this giant bird really has such strength, it might be able to shatter Ling Yu's thunderous might."

"That's right, but now, it is still one step away from its true birth." It pushed his glasses.

"Oh, tell me about it." Dou Kouda folded his hands.

"The violent electrical energy in the Thunder Tomb." He said so.

When he heard the word "Thunder Tomb", Dou Kouda's expression instantly became more serious.

At this moment, Yite turned around and said, "Yes, it is the burial place of the warriors of the six tribes when the seal was broken a thousand years ago. You should be familiar with this matter, right?"

Dou Kouda was silent for a moment before sighing, "Indeed, neither the barbarians nor Ling Lang will ever forget the tragic scene of that time."

It sneered, "Indeed, it's because of the raging thunder of that year that the electrical energy in that forbidden land remains so intense even after a thousand years. And precisely because it was the manifestation of Thunder Lord's 'wrath,' it was the most suitable catalyst to awaken the Animage."

"Then how do you plan to take away the electricity there? You know, the temple of the puppet is built on the thunder tomb." Dou Koda asked again.

"Yeah, what should I do?" Yite deliberately held his chin with his hand, revealing a distressed expression. But soon, the corner of his mouth curled up again, and he looked at her with that signature dangerous smile.

"You don't want me to retrieve the electricity from there for you, do you?" Dou Koda asked vigilantly.

Seeing this, Yi Te smiled and said, "Yes, I do have this idea. After all, who could be more suitable for this task than our leader Dou Koda?"

"Have you already planned this?"

Etter smiled slightly and did not reply. Instead, he turned around and handed him a pinhole-shaped extractor.

"But don't worry, our partner Phantom has been hiding in the city, so he will help you safely retrieve the electricity there. Of course, if you can be patient, leader."

"Huh, you are indeed a despicable villain. You are quite calculating." Dou Kouda took the extractor and said seriously with a frown.

"Thank you." Etter adjusted his glasses. "The city just went through a war. Although they're on guard, they're bound to be a little lax. Now's the perfect time to take advantage of the situation and sneak in."

"Okay, then I'll go there myself." Dou Koda turned around and looked back before leaving. "By the way, although I'm still not happy about it, I still want to thank that guy named Nighthawk on behalf of my brother. I hope you can pass it on."

"With great pleasure." Ite nodded.

However, when Dou Koda finished speaking and left completely, Yite fell into deep thought.

"Wait a minute, who is Nighthawk?"
