Meanwhile, Lin Qiu and Lumine walked out of the room. The sky was dim, and the dark clouds were so oppressive that people couldn't breathe, a scene of doomsday.
On the distant sea, several water vortices raged, and faint growls could still be heard. The God in the deep sea had awakened.
Lin Qiu formed a hand seal, and the Divine Speed Technique was applied to the three of them. Lumine and Lin Qiu quickly rushed to the Harbor.
At this time, Liyue Harbor was empty, a far cry from its usual bustling and prosperous scene.
Ningguang had already evacuated the crowd when Lin Qiu brought Tartaglia to the Golden House.
No, it wasn't completely empty; a small blue figure stood by the shore, none other than Qiqi.
Before they could greet Qiqi, a large bird flew over.
"This adeptus has been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go, this adeptus will take you up," Cloud Retainer said.
When she said "up," she was referring to the Jade Chamber, which had already flown to the center of the sea.
"Is it... is it some kind of True Monarch?" Paimon asked.
"Presumptuous! This adeptus is Cloud Retainer!" Cloud Retainer chided.
"Even though you're big, can you carry two people?" Ying asked.
"Presumptuous! Who said this adeptus was going to carry you?" Cloud Retainer chided again.
"This adeptus only needs to use a small technique to take you to the Jade Chamber." With that, Cloud Retainer performed the 'Divine Speed Technique'.
This was the true 'Divine Speed Technique', unlike Lin Qiu's, which only made him run a little faster.
"So amazing, I'm like Paimon," Ying exclaimed.
She hadn't felt much when Lin Qiu applied the Divine Speed Technique to her earlier. She could already run faster using the Anemo element, and this technique only made it easier for her.
Now, Ying finally understood the true power of the Divine Speed Technique; it could even make one fly.
"This adeptus's Catalyst is even more powerful than adeptal arts," Cloud Retainer boasted.
"Yes, my master's Catalyst can cook automatically," Lin Qiu nodded.
Although he hadn't used it yet, cooking was so troublesome; if it could cook automatically, it would be truly great.
When he met Yingbao in the future, he would definitely give her one.
"Automatic cooking? Hmm... interesting. Inventing it and selling it should be just enough for this adeptus to buy a house," Cloud Retainer pondered.
"Roar!!!" Osial's roar, his colossal body, which blotted out the sky, shot out from the bottom of the sea.
"Ah! So scary! Let's not talk about cooking anymore. Can this monster really be dealt with?" Paimon worried.
"Don't worry, this adeptus has repaired the Guizhong Ballista in advance. All the adepti working together will surely be able to subdue Osial," Cloud Retainer said confidently.
The few people and one bird flew onto the Jade Chamber, where Ningguang was giving commands.
"Cloud Retainer, you're here," Lishui said calmly, not even flustered by Osial's appearance.
"All adepti, prepare," Ningguang said sternly. At this moment, she could even command the adepti.
The adepti did not object and each ascended a Guizhong Ballista. These Guizhong Ballista still required adeptal power to unleash their maximum potential.
There were only three Guizhong Ballista. Granny Ping and Xiao did not operate them; they stood by, vigilant against Osial's attacks, allowing the adepti to operate the Guizhong Ballista with peace of mind.
"Attack!" After getting a bit closer to Osial, Ningguang gave the order.
The arrows from the Guizhong Ballista, imbued with the power of the adepti, struck Osial's body, causing even a God to feel pain.
"Roar!" Osial was about to retaliate when a cannon shot interrupted him.
"Fire! Fire!" Beidou stood at the bow of the ship.
She stood with one foot on the ship's edge, holding a greatsword in one hand and pointing it at Osial. With her other hand, she held a wine pot, drinking 'gulp, gulp, gulp'.
Osial glanced at the Alcor, but then received an attack from the other side.
Keqing was organizing the Millelith on the island to attack, which also included Ganyu's arrows.
This feeling was like a bunch of people throwing pebbles at you, and suddenly someone launched an RPG.
Attacked from three sides, it was fortunate that Osial had many heads and could still keep track.
In fact, Osial was somewhat bewildered at this moment. He had been sealed for who knows how long, and upon waking, he was immediately subjected to various attacks.
What on earth happened? How was the seal broken? Did Morax die?
Good news, let's celebrate!
Osial shot seven water cannons into the sky.
These seven water cannons accurately landed on Liyue's three combat points.
"Hahaha, well met!" Beidou threw her wine pot aside and gripped her greatsword with both hands.
The greatsword, imbued with the Electro element, swept horizontally.
This single sword strike directly shattered Osial's water cannons, turning the terrifyingly powerful water cannons into falling rain.
"Phew, that was exhilarating," Beidou exhaled.
A God is still a God. Taking that blow, Beidou was not as relaxed as she appeared.
There was still one more attack heading towards the Alcor. Beidou raised her sword again, ready to strike once more. She could withstand over a dozen more such attacks.
Wan Ye drew his sword, and with one swing, the Anemo element formed a barrier. The water cannons landed on the wind barrier and rotated a few times with the current before dissipating.
Wan Ye sheathed his sword, walked to Beidou's side, picked up the wine pot, dusted it off, and handed it back to Beidou.
On Keqing's side, the Millelith formed a formation, holding up their spears and nervously watching the water cannons fall.
Ganyu raised her longbow, but before she could act, Shenhe stepped forward, holding a talisman between her fingers.
The talisman was thrown, and the water cannons, which had not yet fallen, instantly froze, then shattered into ice shards, falling like specks of starlight.
She knew her junior brother was coming to help, so she also wanted to help.
Another water cannon was resolved by Hu Tao. Everyone only saw a burst of flames, and the water cannon Vaporized.
Hu Tao still had that playful look, as if she hadn't exerted any effort, but behind her, there was a cute white ghost.
The Millelith were slightly surprised. Although they knew that anyone who could stand here was not an ordinary person, you two were a bit too much, weren't you?
Such a terrifying attack, resolved so effortlessly?
They recognized Hu Tao, the current Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, but who was this white-haired Damselette?
Finally, there was Lin Qiu's side, which was also a key target for Osial due to its size.
However, the three water cannons were also ineffective. Lin Qiu, Lumine, and Xiao each dealt with one.
Such attacks were not Osial's ultimate moves either.
He twisted his body, and swirling water tornadoes swept out. Their destructive power was clearly stronger than the water cannons.
What was even more absurd was that as the water tornadoes approached everyone, he continuously shot water cannons, each head firing.
Furthermore, one head acted like a 'laser cannon', furiously blasting the Jade Chamber with water streams.
Fortunately, Xiao and Granny Ping unleashed a barrier, blocking these continuous attacks.
"This Osial is harder to fight than in the game..." Lin Qiu complained.
He had originally thought that with Shenhe and his own extra help, plus an additional element-wielding Traveler, this battle would end more easily.
But it wasn't easy at all; it would have been better to just beat up Tartaglia again.
The good news was that Osial couldn't keep firing indefinitely. After firing for a while, he finally quieted down.
This attack also seemed to require some charging time.
This gave everyone a chance to retaliate. Now it was the Guizhong Ballista's turn to fire non-stop.
Lin Qiu and Ying were also helping. They were continuously attacking with their water guns, which had little effect, just for fun.
The best news now was that the disruptive Fatui were gone.
They only needed to focus on dealing with Osial.
