Chapter 81 Butterfly Wandering
"Fufeng? It sounds different from mine. What kind of thing is that?" It's rare that Dekarapian is still at the age where he speaks his mind without any knowledge or pollution from the outside world.
Ming Chong sighed, then flapped his wings with a snap, blowing the stars to the ground.
Something or nothing.
Can't you just say you don't understand?
"That's called not understanding something but feeling its power!" Ming Chong pretended to be profound. "It's okay if you don't understand. This way, others won't understand me either, and won't dare to treat me like some random nobody."
"Oh..." Dekarapian slowly got up, shyly curling his legs like tentacles, "Can we do it again? It's so fun!"
“…”
Ming Chong's wings were suspended in the air for a moment, and it took him a while to react.
For demons, this level of fanning is no different from sprinkling water, especially for those with strong natural abilities. It is almost like playing with a feather, without any pain or threat.
——It’s even a bit novel.
Ming Chong flew around it in a circle, but he couldn't see any flaws. He could only make out one sentence from the curled corners:
Don't pity me because I'm a cub.
At this moment, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.
…
When Ming Chong disguised himself as the native demon god of Teyvat for the first time, he didn't feel anything. After all, the seven rulers of the mortal world had been roughly confirmed at that time, and it was the end of the demon war.
All of his demon subordinates were resurrected from the ground by him.
At that time, their personalities and values were basically mature, so Ming Chong just thought that the characteristic of the local demon gods was that they would randomly develop different personality tendencies, and everyone would become an adult when they were born.
And now he was told that the demon god also began to understand the world gradually after he was born.
At most, he knew his name, what powers he possessed, and a bit of common sense about demon gods, which could be considered a bit of inherited memory...
But what really made him suddenly realize this was Nashida, who was like the heroine in a tragic novel.
——Even the God of Wisdom, who has been connected to the World Tree, needs to learn and grow.
That would be a big problem.
You have to know that Ming Chong initially just felt that any intelligent life with emotions would not be able to maintain the most perfect and powerful guardian side for a long time without any flaws.
You can escape when you are vulnerable, retreat when you are afraid, and accept when you make mistakes... Of course, this does not mean that you should do this every time you face such a situation, as that would lead to another extreme.
Ming Chong was just willing to give them a chance to choose.
The demons on the continent of Teyvat are just stronger lives. They also need to grow, have emotions, get hurt, and even die. They may be able to master extraordinary powers in a certain field.
Decarapian also explained to him the reason why he pretended to be dead in the beginning. It was because he was just born and was worried that he would be killed by other demons and his power would be devoured.
It's really tear-jerking. Even the newly born demon cubs know that killing others can devour power.
...So, there is another point. Every demon god is an isolated island. He has no tribe and lives alone. He is like a child carrying gold through the market. If he is not careful, he will face life and death.
No wonder.
Ming Chong understood. After becoming more familiar with the continent of Teyvat, he was puzzled by the strange technology tree in this world. Some people lived in cities, some in villages, and some even lived in trees...
The robots are all automatic, but I didn’t expect to use the power device to do something else.
People still use horse-drawn carriages and wooden boats there.
The Internet is well-organized, but it is used exclusively by the House of Representatives and is similar to a purely academic website, without even any communication function.
Even with all this going on, the demon gods weren't born knowing, had no kin, and were surrounded by enemies. So it wasn't surprising that they had any strange appearances.
And they actually have the well-known nature of "Devil Lover"!
"So, do you have it? Xing Karami." Ming Chong asked.
Decarapian paused. "People... aren't they just talking? What are they? Food? Or something fun? I don't like them."
"Also, is Xing Karami me?"
Ming Chong was about to nod, but suddenly realized that he was not very familiar with how to nod in the butterfly form. "Yes, stars, stacked carapians, and newborn baby carami."
"Wouldn't it be a shame if it wasn't called Xing Karami?"
Diecarapian didn't understand what was so regretful. He just saw that Impas was taking it for granted, so he also learned to act regretful. "You're right. Fortunately, you are smart. Um... Die Impas."
Dad, Butterfly... Butterfly Impas? !
"I like this name!" Ming Chong's complicated emotions were swept away, and he flew around with satisfaction, "Call me that from now on."
But this is very strange. If Decarapian was not born to love humans, then why did the saying "The Devil Loves Humans" come down?
But he quickly put the question aside:
"Xing Karami, let's go, I'll take you to find something fun!"
"Okay! Die Impas!"
One star and one butterfly were swallowed up by the wind and snow with high spirits. Ming Chong realized that he had underestimated the demon god. Diekarapian stirred up a tornado and rode the wind.
...Damn it, he’s pretending!
Looking back to see if Xing Karami had chased him with his little feet, Ming Chong was killed by this little guy in a close-range attack.
“…”
The body of the Carabaoth Pentagram flashed several times and made a rustling sound, as if it were blinking.
Then with a "xiu~~~" sound, he slowly fell backwards, lifted up by the whirlwind mixed with flying snow.
Well, Ming Chong didn't quite understand this little antique that was born thousands of years ago.
——But that’s not important. What’s important is, now that you’ve finished pretending, it’s my turn, right?!
"Impas...it seems like we are being a little too ambiguous." Decarapian rolled up his little corner and asked the question nervously.
“…”

"You little Karami, what do you know about ambiguity?" Ming Chong wanted to bend his waist, nose turned towards him, and roll his eyes to the sky, "Listen to me, I'm the elder brother, I have the final say."
In short, he was naive.
Even if the Demon God is just born and there is only the initial version, it is still the T0 version of the continent of Teyvat.
He is now obsessed with wanting a cool way to travel... He doesn't know if his high-brow style is too highbrow and may be a bit out of reach for the masses.
Although Ming Chong travels through various time and space and makes friends with various bigwigs in the conventional sense, he still feels that he is too low-key.
Just look at the movements and special effects around Carapeian, they are so cool!
And he himself, hum, turned into a butterfly and flew into a door, oh no, maybe it was just a passage the size of a bug eye or a rat hole, it couldn't even be called a door.

Ming Chong: I’m really going to make a fuss!
Thinking of this, Ming Chong flapped his little wings, and a small whirlwind of wind and snow in front of him swirled around and came over.
It blew out various tones, as if talking, and then the little whirlwind slowly, slowly bent down...
So, those whirring sounds are really talking.
Ming Chong even saw the eye of the storm.
At that moment, he suddenly felt awkward. He finally understood the ambiguity that Decarapian had mentioned, and he felt rather embarrassed.
——The highest etiquette of a little whirlwind is to show you the eye of the storm.
——It feels almost the same as being honest with each other.
Ming Chong's eyes shone with renewed wisdom. "Well, wind has no gender, so why is it unbearable?"
He looked over with his head held high. The little whirlwind muttered something, then blew in the opposite direction and left.
And it is visible to the naked eye that it is getting bigger and bigger.
Oh, the name of this [Super Invincible Shining Thunderbolt Tornado] is——
Butterfly effect.
Ming Chong: Damn, the memories of the dead are attacking me again.
Decarabian: "Wow—"
"Isn't that cool?" Of course, Ming Chong's performance as a butterfly was still acceptable.
"Yeah!" Decarabian nodded, "No wonder you said we are brothers."
?
ah?
Ming Chong looked confused.
Is there any connection between them?
Could it be that the fan created a sparkling little whirlwind? Did this silly kid think he was born that way?
Decarapian then pointed in the direction the small tornado left, "Little tornado."
Then he pointed at himself, "The Demon God of Tornado."
Pointing at Ming Chong, he said, "Fufeng."
He pointed at himself again, "Tornado."
“…”
It seemed... it was no different from what he thought, but it also seemed very different...
"Although it's best to speak simply, you're being too simple." Ming Chong's butterfly tentacles were stretched out, and he felt uncomfortable for some reason.
Doesn't this mean that he can't even understand the newborn baby Karami?
Dekarapian's smile was blingbling, in a physical sense. No matter how much Ren Mingchong threatened or bribed him, he refused to say anything.
He roughly realized that Impas might have been born too early, resulting in developmental problems. Otherwise, how could he not know this or that?
Even the name and authority were remembered after he reminded me...
Impas even asked him if it was the nature of a demon god to like humans... Well, he probably has no memory of this?
The demon gods were all born after the fall of the First Throne [Phanes], bathed in His authority. Therefore, devouring each other and converging on similarities is normal.
But Impas had no intention of eating him, and wanted to play the family game between ordinary creatures with him... Strangely, Dekarapian himself was unwilling to consider the possibility of swallowing Impas.
Hmm... maybe there really is similar and complementary authority?
And he really seemed to have only feelings of closeness towards Impas, and he couldn't be wary of him at all.
If they were really brothers...
Then Fufeng should refer to the "wind" of tornado, right?
As Decarapian thought this, he, the newly born, couldn't help but feel a little excited. He had a brother, and he was different from what his memory and instincts told him. How could this not be called a unique miracle?
...Although this brother is stupid, it doesn't matter. Dekarapian believes that he is strong enough to protect him.
“Bang!”
Ming Chong formed a solid middle finger snowball and hit the center of the Carabaoian pentagram. The star was frightened and curled up its five corners uncontrollably. "Aha! I found you, didn't I?!"
"No matter how smart and powerful a demon god is, he still has conditioned reflexes!!!"
