Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 165: Monster Association Uprising

In front of TV screens, supermarket displays, and on their phones, people everywhere buzzed with excitement.

"They're going to eliminate all monsters and villains!"

"If those heroes are that strong, they can definitely do it."

"I'm so sick of a world full of monsters."

"Exactly. Every day, we live in fear."

"This is amazing!"

"Yeah, these are the same heroes who beat that terrifying alien boss."

"They call themselves gods or something, right?"

"Who cares what they call themselves? As long as they protect us, they're heroes."

After all, the whole world had witnessed the defeat of a planet-destroying alien.

Even if not seen directly, the fact that Earth was still intact and the spaceship had been moved outside the city proved their victory.

And those otherworldly heroes had clearly demonstrated overwhelming power.

Having once been crushed by Saitama and turned to a new life as a takoyaki vendor, the Evolution House doctor and a few surviving monsters watched the news broadcast.

The gorilla wiped sweat from its brow. "Hey, hey, they're going to wipe out all monsters! This is bad, Doctor!"

The doctor calmly kept stirring the takoyaki batter. "Relax. You're not a monster hostile to humans."

The gorilla nodded nervously. "Yeah, yeah! I'm just a humble takoyaki shop employee."

Across the globe, news channels aired interviews and expert commentary nonstop.

The entire human world was abuzz.

To ordinary people, every monster attack brought panic, fear, and death.

Monsters above Demon level often meant a city would be wiped off the map.

Almost every populated area had shelters, and people had learned to rush to safety when alarms blared.

Of course, not every monster was dangerous. But being non-threatening didn't mean they weren't hostile to humans.

After witnessing the battle between two planet-destroying powerhouses, most monsters had gone into hiding.

Especially with the recent live broadcast showing Jean and her allies' power—easily Dragon-level in monster terms.

And among them was a God-level powerhouse.

Following Jean's public statement, the Hero Association quickly welcomed everyone to HQ and fully cooperated with their actions.

After all, over a hundred S-Class heroes and one unseen God-level being? The Hero Association wouldn't dare oppose them.

In fact, it wasn't about whether the Hero Association needed them—it was whether they still needed the Association.

Plus, they'd clearly stated their goal: to eliminate all monsters and evildoers.

Why wouldn't the Association cooperate with such a noble cause?

If they didn't, the public backlash alone would bury them in outrage.

Hero Association funding came from taxpayer money.

And heroes got paid through merchandise and fandom income. They were practically celebrities.

So the idol-like atmosphere was intense.

The S-Class heroes who had joined the divine system felt, from the bottom of their hearts, that they were the same kind of people as Jean and her allies.

They joined the mission too.

Joining the divine system was a golden path—an endless road to strength.

Someday, maybe they could become the one who saved Earth from its destined doom.

...

Meanwhile,

1,500 meters below the surface, deep in an underground cavern...

This was the massive underground cavern excavated by the Monster Association.

The labyrinthine tunnels sprawled over an area no less than that of a major city.

At the center of the cavern, shaped like a Roman coliseum, sat a towering red humanoid monster the size of a skyscraper.

Surrounding it, as if in spectator stands, sat a multitude of monsters—so many that it looked like an entire city populated solely by monsters.

Monsters had never been a united bunch, and now the entire place was in uproar.

"Hey, Gyoro! Did you hear? That sudden wave of heroes appearing outside are calling to wipe out every monster on the planet!"

"We were going to test the human S-Class heroes, but now there's no need."

"Exactly! It's clear as day. Human news has spread across the world—over a hundred S-Class heroes."

"Did you see the destructive power they displayed? Definitely Dragon-level. And not just ordinary Dragons—these guys are on another level."

"A new world for monsters? With just those heroes, a few moves and we'll all be gone."

"And don't forget—besides those over a hundred S-Class heroes, there was that god-level one. That battle shook the entire planet."

"Might as well disband the Monster Association."

A grotesque monster resembling a ball of hands with a single massive eye scanned the crowd.

Gyoro Gyoro spoke: "Idiots. If you leave the Monster Association, you'll just be picked off by those heroes one by one. Rather than dying for nothing, why not become nourishment for Lord Orochi?"

As he said this, the glowing eyes of the massive red humanoid monster in the center shifted toward the noisy monsters.

All but the Dragon-level monsters broke into a cold sweat.

The reason they had gathered here wasn't just Gyoro Gyoro's call to eliminate the heroes—but more because of this terrifying monster known as Orochi. Even Dragon-level monsters couldn't match him.

"So what do we do?" asked a black-skinned monster with antennae like a Teletubby.

"Can Orochi handle that god-level human hero?"

At the deepest part of the Monster Association hideout, Gyoro Gyoro's true form was at a loss.

Her real body was that of a wavy-haired young woman with black-rimmed glasses, known as Psychos.

She had once been friends with Fubuki, the younger sister of Tatsumaki (Tornado), and co-founded the Psychic Research Society.

But due to ideological differences, she split off and created the Monster Association, recruiting several Dragon-level monsters and transforming the human Yorochi into the monster king Orochi.

Because her psychic abilities awakened her third eye, she saw a future where humanity was extinct and fell into despair—believing monsters were the rightful inheritors of Earth.

"What is happening? This isn't a future I foresaw. What is going on?!"

"Why did so many S-Class suddenly appear? And even a god-level being!"

"Those monsters in the Association must be terrified. I need to stabilize the morale!"

"Also... I must investigate again. Even if human civilization is destined for destruction, right now they still have this many powerful beings!"

"Hey, say something, Gyoro!" a monster resembling a toy chicken called out.

One of the few Dragon-level monsters in the Monster Association, the grotesque Supreme Commander, chuckled darkly. "Heh, with so many new S-Class heroes among the humans, and even a God-level one, we don't stand a chance."

"Yeah, what did we even join the Monster Association for in the first place?"

"I'm out, I'm leaving!"

Gyoro Gyoro's powerful telekinesis instantly spread through the arena. Hundreds, even thousands of monsters shouting about leaving were suddenly suspended midair by invisible hands.

"What are you doing?!"

"Gyoro, are you crazy?!"

Gyoro Gyoro sneered, "You joined the Monster Association. There's no leaving now. You're useless to us."

"And since you're useless, you can at least serve as nourishment for Lord Orochi. Consider it your final contribution. Hehehe." freewebnσvel.cøm

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a squelching sound.

All the restrained monsters were compressed into fleshy cubes. Multicolored fluids splashed in the air like fireworks.

In the center, Monster King Orochi opened his mouth. A snake-like tongue shot out, its tip forming a smaller mouth that swallowed the meat cubes in one gulp.

At that moment, fear spread among all the surrounding monsters.

"He... He killed them?!"

Monsters didn't possess human empathy. They were distorted beings.

Just like in the animal kingdom, weaker monsters were simply food for the stronger ones.

And the weak always sought to devour the strong.

Gyoro Gyoro continued, "Humanity is now gathering its entire military strength to wipe out every monster on the planet."

"Whether you leave or stay, if you encounter those S-Class heroes, you're dead. Since that's the case, you may as well become nourishment for stronger monsters and let them become more powerful!"

Monster King Orochi lowered his head, the tentacle-like horns on his head stretching and glowing. His eyes grew brighter as if ready to launch an attack.

"Of course, any Dragon-level monster here is free to challenge Lord Orochi now."

"If you win, then a new leader of the Monster Association will be born."

Gyoro Gyoro looked toward the Dragon-level executives present.

The grotesque humanoid bald monster, Supreme Commander, sneered. "Hehehe... Gyoro, are you trying to trick us into getting eaten by Orochi? How laughable. We never said we served you or Orochi."

A three-meter-tall feral cat monster licked its paw. "We're just following you for now."

Wearing a tattered crown and a foul-smelling cape, the Homeless Emperor picked his nose. "I only joined because I hate humans."

A pitch-black monster with only a white face and an antenna on its head, Black Sperm, stood with arms crossed, saying nothing.

Two brothers, Hellfire Flame and Gale Win, survivors from the ninja village who had willingly eaten monster cells to become Dragon-level, licked their lips and glanced around the arena.

As former humans, they understood exactly what the Monster Association was.

Calling it an "association" was a joke. It was just a mass of low-level monsters drawn in by a few powerful ones.

None of them were loyal to the Monster Association. It was pure survival of the fittest.

Telling weak monsters that joining meant safety from heroes was just a lie to gather cannon fodder.

The atmosphere turned oppressively silent, and every non-Dragon-level monster present trembled.

Monster King Orochi spoke in a garbled voice, "Who wishes to leave?"

As soon as those words were spoken, every monster shouted at once.

"Impossible! How could we possibly leave!"

"That's right! You're our king, our Monster King!"

"Exactly! We'll obey your commands no matter what."

"We're proud members of the Monster Association!"

Even twisted monsters didn't want to be devoured by their own kind. No matter how much they cursed internally, they dared not voice their dissent.

Gyoro Gyoro continued, "Enough. Until I figure out what those mysterious S-Class heroes are, you all stay put."

"Also, keep Elder Centipede in check for now."

With her words, the many eyes she'd planted above ground sprang to life.

In sewers, alleyways, abandoned buildings—even inside toys—eyes with wings began to gather intelligence in the human world.

In the Monster Association's deepest chamber, veins bulged on Psykos' forehead.

"The Hero Association is, without doubt, the human organization housing the most powerful individuals."

"It makes no sense that so many S-Class heroes would just appear overnight. I need answers!"

Thanks to the gods and demigods from the main world not hiding any information—and the fact that their existence had already become public via global media—Psykos easily found what she was looking for.

"What?! Heroes from parallel worlds? Gods?!"

Psykos was utterly shocked, biting her thumb.

"This contradicts everything I foresaw about the future!"

She tried using her psychic powers to glimpse the future again—only to find it completely obscured.

While she reeled in confusion, back at the Hero Association headquarters—

Inside a grand chamber resembling a national assembly hall, over a hundred gods, demigods, and S-Class heroes from the Hero Association sat around a massive table.

Jean, one of the few mid-level gods present, stood on the stage and addressed them.

"There isn't much to explain regarding the operation to cleanse the world of monsters and evildoers."

"Those at god-level and above will attack the Monster Association base beneath the abandoned city. Those below god-level will handle surface cleanup and neutralize any remaining criminals."

Behind her, a giant screen displayed a map of the abandoned city—left desolate for over a century—its underground layers structured like a dungeon.

Toga chuckled. "No objections here. Whatever so-called Dragon-level monsters are down there, my Tessaiga will handle them in one strike."

Kamisato Ayato nodded. "Indeed. We're overwhelming them already. The only real concern is preventing collateral damage to civilians."

Diluc scowled coldly. "I won't let a single one of those who deserve judgment slip through the cracks."

Tatsumaki slammed the table, clearly annoyed. "Hey! Don't count me out. I'm definitely going for the enemy's main base!"

Superalloy Darkshine whispered urgently, "Hey, Tatsumaki, don't make Lady Jean mad. She could obliterate us!"

Jean glanced at Tatsumaki. Considering her power level was on par with gods, Jean nodded. "Very well. Tatsumaki may join."

Child Emperor eagerly opened his backpack, revealing dozens of watches.

"Everyone, take one. I made these tracking devices in a hurry. They'll help us navigate the underground and avoid getting lost."

Kaeya accepted one with a smirk. "Thanks. You may be young, but you're surprisingly dependable."

Child Emperor beamed with pride. For once, someone wasn't treating him like just a kid, even though he was an S-Class hero.

Jean declared, "Let's begin. Within seven days, we will eliminate every monster hostile to humanity from this planet."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

"Absolutely."

"With our strength, this'll be easy."

"Just watch me!"

Everyone in the chamber stood up, brimming with powerful energy, and marched out the doors.

A scene straight out of a crusading army, ready to crush evil from the world.
