Since Mu Yang's appearances were indeed quite limited,
And he wasn't even a playable character yet,
There was hardly any discussion about him in the strategy forums.
After all, regular players still had to focus on grinding enemies.
And no one wanted to waste resources.
So the strategy section hadn't reached the point of obsessing over unreleased characters yet.
After browsing posts for a while longer, Mu Yang went to sleep.
Early the next morning,
Right after Mu Yang finished breakfast,
The system started chirping noisily again.
"Go check out your fan creations! Go check out your fan creations!"
Mu Yang first tidied up his room,
Then brewed a pot of tea,
And only then leisurely sat down,
Ready to see just how absurd these fan creations could be.
Though, wasn't this a bit too fast?
"It hasn't even been two full days, right? And there are already fan creations?"
System: "Don't underestimate Earthlings' ability to meme!"
"Actually, it's mainly because I gave them access to your model downloads."
"They didn't need to do extra modeling, so of course it was fast."
Mu Yang: "Are these the kind that can pass censorship?"
"If not, I'm not brave enough to look."
System: "What are you thinking? Videos aren't the same as those little drawing websites!"
The system opened a panel,
Linked to Earth's version of Bilibili,
And began publicly roasting Mu Yang.
First Fan Creation Video:
"What I Think About During Class"
After a silly voice read out the title,
The video started playing.

First Segment (Source: Ultraman Tiga)
On screen, a horde of Hilichurls invaded Teyvat.
With overwhelming numbers, humanity was crushed,
Leaving only Mondstadt standing.
The Knights of Favonius discussed abandoning the bridge's frontlines,
Falling back to defend within the city.
At this moment, Mu Yang stared at the Hilichurl army,
His expression grave.
Lumine turned back and called out, "Mu Yang!"
Acting Grand Master Jean and a few knights also stopped upon hearing this.
Mu Yang stood with his back to them.
"I'm going… alone."
Lumine immediately rejected it. "No!"
The knights didn't understand what was happening.
Jean told them to go ahead first,
Then slowly walked up to Mu Yang.
"The first time I saw Ultraman,"
"I thought I had met a god."
"I believed he could lead humanity onto the right path."
Mu Yang still didn't turn around.
Jean continued.
"But I was wrong. Later, I realized—"
"Ultraman is both light… and human."
"So, you have no obligation to face an enemy you can't possibly defeat."
"You understand what I'm saying, right?!"
Mu Yang slowly turned around.
"'Can't possibly win'? I don't get it."
Jean seemed to understand his resolve.
"Yeah… Since when did I stop believing in fate too?"
"You have to win… as a human."
Lumine was completely shocked. "What?!"
Mu Yang gave her a firm nod.
Then, Lumine was dragged away by Jean.
"Mu Yang!"
Mu Yang shouted after her.
"Lumine, your job is to get them safely back to the city!"
Then, he pulled out a Spark Lens.
Jean: "It'll be fine! You have to win, Ultraman Tiga!"
Mu Yang transformed into Tiga and proceeded to beat up the Hilichurls.
[Look at what you've protected!]
[Holy crap, the UP took down the surveillance—how do you know exactly what I daydream about in class?]
[LMAO, at least change Mu Yang's outfit! Bro pulling out a Spark Lens in ancient robes is killing me.]
[Say what you will, but miHoYo's models are crazy detailed. Look at Mu Yang's facial features… and Jean's hips, Jean's—]
[Bro, stop pretending. If we hooked up an eye tracker, yours would be glued to Jean the whole time.]

Second Segment (Source: Kamen Rider)
After a black screen, the second segment began.
This one was slightly more normal.
First, it showed Mu Yang's bridge defense battle—
Freezing the bridge's surface,
Kicking a Frostarm Lawachurl mid-air,
Then slashing a boundary line with a sword beam.
This part used in-game footage.
The real highlight was what came next.
Instead of using Azure Dragon's Lunge to dive into the enemy ranks,
Mu Yang summoned a red belt around his waist—
Transforming into Kuuga.
[Straight-up nuclear kick.]
[What have you been protecting?!]
[Kuuga: If Tiga ain't defending, neither am I.]
The scene reset.
This time, it was an orange belt—Agito.
[Mu Yang, turn off your high beams!]
[Hilichurls: What the hell is so damn bright?!]
Third belt—Build.
"A hero must never run from battle."
[This energy bottle dude is hype as hell.]
[Can Mu Yang even pull off those kick formulas?]
[If he did, they'd all be sword manuals.]
Fourth belt?
Mu Yang just roared on the spot—
Full Ohma Zi-O transformation effects.
[This one's the heavyweight champion.]
[Failed as a startup founder, inherited the family business.]
Fifth belt…
"Are you ready?"
"I was born ready."
After the battle ended:
"Let me personally… send you off."
"Then I'll leave it to you… Shotaro."
"The hand you should hold… isn't mine anymore…"
Video ends.
[HOLY SHIT, OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THE KNIFE!]
[This UP is a menace, hiding blades in the sugar!]
[Already reported it, fam. Did I do the right thing?]
[Good thing Mu Yang's a gacha character—no way he's getting killed off.]
[Having an official splash art makes him untouchable.]
[Why does Mu Yang using the Blizzard Gauntlets in this vid feel so fitting? Is it because they're both ice-type…?]
[Shut your crow mouth. Great imagination—now never use it again.]
Mu Yang skimmed through the comments and bullet chats.
"System, look how optimistic they are."
System: "Not my problem. As long as you're having fun and earning popularity points, it's all good."
The system then played the second fan creation.
This video leaned more into parody.
Titled:
"Hilichurls, Times Have Changed!"
The video began on the familiar Mondstadt bridge.
Knights of Favonius were fighting Hilichurls on it.
Mu Yang descended from the sky—
A heroic entrance.
First, the "smoke means no damage" trope played out.
Nothing happened.
Then, he put on a pair of sunglasses,
Pulled out two revolvers, and headshot Hilichurls one by one.
After running out of bullets, he switched to a minigun with blue flames.
"BRRRRRRT—"
The Hilichurls suffered heavy losses.
The knights behind him were stunned.
Rosaria reacted fastest,
Immediately stretching her hands out toward Mu Yang.
Mu Yang pulled an RPG out of his hammerspace pocket and handed it to her.
A rocket blast later, Hilichurls went flying.
Rosaria gave a thumbs-up.
"This beats a Vision any day."
Before Mu Yang could finish distributing guns,
Barbara was already charging forward with dual Tommy Guns.
"AHHHH—forgiving you is Barbatos' job!"
"My job is to send you to meet him!"
"BRRRRRRT—"
Video ends.
[They asked for fan creations, not for you to kill me.]
[The times, they are a-changin'.]
[Medicine can't save Mondstadt.]
[Isn't this just another form of Anemo Archon?]
[The Anemo in submachine gun?]
