The Anemo Boys' Cosplay Script Is Dark [Genshin Impact Crossover]

[Completed: The Player's Fate Is the Only Right Answer] [Completed: The Akademiya F4's Scholarly Treatise] Blurb provided as a favor by @Mo Jiangli~ (When this was conceived, these were the only four wind boys, just so you know.) This is a journey with no end. A tree can branch into infinite possibilities. Often, the slightest difference in judgment can give rise to a different future. Become them in another worldline, and bring erased worlds back into existence. That is the player's mission. ● If You Are Trapped in a Land Without Wind [Wind is synonymous with freedom, and the creator of an ideal utopia.] But before becoming the guardian deity who sheltered a land, wind was also a symbol of wrath and an endless prison. Rather than promise his subjects eternity, he wanted a little happiness of his own: the soul of the friend he once had. A fallen god arrived in this land, borne on a hurricane. For the first time, the six-eyed divine child gazed straight at a "true god." "I am the God of Freedom, so... I want the freedom that belongs to me." ● I Will Protect a Corner of This Mortal World for You [Protect this land and let this golden realm shine brightly.] This was the first pact between the youngest Yaksha and the Geo Archon, and it was also the last. Ascending to the seat of the Geo Archon as a favored servant of the wind, he donned the mask of atonement and took the future of an entire nation upon his shoulders. But he knew that all he wanted was to be the mighty Golden-Winged King who never lost a battle beneath a god's command. In an era when evil spirits ran rampant, the last inheritor of the Sun Breathing style found himself in despair, until a ray of light called "wind" appeared before him. "Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal, I have answered your summons. I am here to protect you." ● Face the Radiance of That Thunderbolt [To take away another's wishes is the cruelest thing of all. Not even a god has the right...] This was meant to be a paradise of eternity, but the Heavenly Principles looked down upon all living things, the Raiden Shogun's obsession endured, and people's wishes became bricks used to build eternity. The gods showed no mercy. The one who had lost everything sank into the abyss, the last heir of the One Heart School. If saving the people he cared about was a mistake, then let him raise the flag of rebellion against the Heavenly Principles. The Grim Reaper of the Kutsuki family, who had looped through reincarnation countless times, raised his head and saw that the maple leaves had turned pitch-black. "The Fatui's Twelfth Harbinger, codename 'Wanderer.' You... intend to kill a god too?" ● Reunite at the End of the Journey [I believe in no bonds other than those of blood.] He crossed an endless sea of stars to reach this place, only to be forcibly separated by the Sustainer. When he had completed his entire journey, what awaited him was the Heavenly Principles' merciless judgment. His sister, who had rebelled alongside the Abyss, was not at fault. The one at fault... was this world. Betrayed by the Sustainer and bereft of his kin, the Traveler no longer believed in any promises. But the flame that represented the great sky once again kindled his heart. "We... will meet again, one day."
