Morax: I will have order!
The light in the air got closer, revealing a meteor.
Tanjiro: This! I can't dodge it!
In my mind, I was thinking in nanoseconds trying to figure out how to avoid the meteor or block it!
Tanjiro: My only conclusion is that I need the power of the same as the meteor! Even Water Breathing or Sun Breathing can stop it! It's almost a year and I can't use Sun Breathing for some reason!
When he was reincarnated in Teyvat, he tried Sun Breathing after trying out Water Breathing.
Tanjiro: Weird? Why can't I use Sun Breathing?
Tanjioro try the technique of Sun Breathing, but for some reason...
Tanjiro: Why can't I remember it?
Tanjiro felt in his memory that an invisible force is making him unable to remember do the technique.
Tanjiro: I guess kami-sama thinks I don't need it when I reincarnated into this world?
What Tanjiro didn't need know was the requirements to use Sun Breathing Teyvat.
Tanjiro's Breathing Style in his world were visualization, but in Teyvat, Tanjiro's visualization is materialize.
But Sun Breathing was different. It wasn't fire, it is pure radiation, so the world couldn't materialize it. The Sun is a star that gives Teyvat life to grow and warmth from light itself. Ultraviolet light that grows plants and infrared radiation that gives heat for life to live. Teyvat see's the Sun as a true god. Pure divinity that the world, organisms, and "gods" bathes in. Granting these "gods" their divinity.
So how does Sun Breathiing materialize?
Yoriichi, the first Sun Breath user reincarnated into this world after he died from old age. When he awoke to see a desolate world, monsters roam Teyvat, not a single life was born.
Teyvat long time ago was homed to the monsters that will later formed the Abyss.
Yoriichi used Sun Breathing to kill the monsters, but notice something.
He sense divinity from the Sun.
So he pray the Sun.
Yoriichi: Kami-sama, bless me to use your light so I can restore this world.
The Sun wasn't sentient, but when Yoriichi pray to the Sun, it has its first thought.
Surprised that it was given sentient, the Sun asked Yoriichi.
Sun: Who are you?
Yoriichi answer its question.
Yoriichi: A slayer who failed to do his duty. A gifted man who's fate was to kill the first demon who lurked in the darkness under the moon. I was the sun that bring the golden age for humanity to fight back the darkness, but I failed.
The Sun can only look at Yoriichi with sadness.
Sun: You feel guilty after you failed to kill it.
Yoriichi: Indeed I felt guilty, but...
The Sun look in surprise as Yoriichi smile.
Yoriichi: A man, a man who give me a light blow away the darkness around me, though he didn't have the physique to use Sun Breathing, he kept his promise, even after I died. His strong determination to passed on the technique to his descendants yielded success.
Yoriichi looked at the Sun with light in his eyes.
Yoriichi: His descendant slain the first demon, the embodiment of evil, shine like the sun.
The Sun was so enthralled that the Sun asked Yoriichi.
Sun: Who were they?
Yoriichi: Tanjiro Kamado, even though he lost his family, his soul was bright, determination to save his only family, justice to defeat evil to protect the weak, he was a benevolent man who even pray the demons to have a better life, he was gentle. He change me to what I am today.
Yoriichi: The sun is to give warmth, but also give a ray of light in the darkness, Sun Breathing is a technique that will defeat all evil who hurts the innocent.
Yoriichi give the Sun with eyes with pupils in them.
Yoriichi: My Sun Breathing requires your help for me to eliminate evil! My oath is that I will protect this world from evil so that life can flourish! I will protect my loves from danger ever again! I will pledge my body and soul that no evil shall threaten this world until the day I die! That is my oath!
The Sun was enthralled by his resolve that she can only say...
Sun: What is your name?
Yoriichi: Yoriichi Tsugikuni
Sun: Yoriichi Tsugikuni. I the Su-.
Yoriichi: Amaterasu.
Sun: Huh?
Yoriichi: Amaterasu-Sama.
Amaterasu: Amaterasu...
Then Amaterasu then feel their divinity strengthen.
Amaterasu: I, Amaterasu, grant you my blessing. Pave the darkness with your solar light.
Yoriichi: Thank you, Amaterasu-sama.
Amaterasu: But how can you pass on your technique?
Yoriichi smile.
Yoriichi: After I pass away, I know that Tanjiro will come when the world is in danger. Because after all, I know he will come here to protect the weak.
After that, Yoriichi purged all? monsters from Teyvat. After purging all? of them, he created the seven elements, all based on the variation of Sun Breathing except for cryo and dendro, the two elements were created by his two disciples.
Yoriichi know how humanity is greedy and knowing that the Sun Breathing Style is powered by the Sun, he give three requirements for it to be use.
1. They have to be his descendants or Tanjiro's.
2. They must kill evil beings (monsters, abyss, or gods)
And 3. Protect the innocents from evil beings.
And Tanjiro fulfill all these requirements.
Tanjiro: But I got to do something! Please! Please!
The invisible force that was blocking Tanjiro's memory to use Sun Breathing, break.
*crack*
Tanjiro: !
Tanjiro then start to breathe while the meteor is coming towards him.
Tanjiro: Hinokami Kagura...
Morax/Guizhong: !
The air starts to burn around Tanjiro as a figure hug behind him.
Amaterasu: I finally meet you, Tanjiro.
Tanjiro: Raging Sun!
Tanjiro leap to the air, faxing the meteor and unleash two horizontal slashes at the meteor.
*slash* *slash*
Time stopped as the meteor slowly sliced into four pieces.
Tanjiro land on the ground and face Morax.
Trails of solar flares comes from Tanjiro's mouth.
*boom*
The four pieces of the meteor crashed onto the earth, exploding behind Tanjiro.(Replace him for Tanjiro and his expression is serious, and remove the glasses to show his glowing red eyes).
The explosion darkened his front body, but his red eyes glow.
Tanjiro: Now...
Tanjiro lift his blade to point at Morax.
Tanjirom I'm serious!
