Not long ago, in Liyue, Guizhong and the Millelith were clearing the sea monsters that had come ashore, completely unaware that the winds and waves on the sea were growing stronger.
The Adepti also arrived at this time, and just as the last one was cleared, monstrous waves began to rise from the sea.
Guizhong and the others realized something was wrong and began to organize the evacuation of the civilians.
Suddenly, everyone stopped and looked at the sea, only to see a giant whirlpool spinning on the surface.
A massive, snake-like head emerged, several feet long, and what was crucial was that it wasn't just one head.
Its huge body was submerged, and four heads made of water emerged from behind, looking extremely terrifying.
The sky instantly darkened.
Seeing this, Guizhong immediately ordered the activation of the Guizhong Ballista, then took out a signal jade token and shattered it on the spot, thinking, "Qixuan, I hope you'll be quick."
At this moment, Qixuan's clone, upon seeing this scene, immediately relayed the information to the main body before disappearing.
The Millelith formed a defensive line at the front, ready to fight to the death.
At this moment, the God on the sea spoke, "I am Osial, the God of the Vortex, who has been dormant in the deep sea. If you surrender to me, you will be unharmed."
"But if you remain stubborn…" As he spoke, the winds and waves on the sea grew even more violent.
Guizhong and the others had already calibrated the Guizhong Ballista, with Moon Carver, Lishui, and Liuyun each controlling one.
Ping'er, Marcius, and Heuri were covering the evacuation of the civilians.
At this moment, Guizhong put on the Valkyrie armor that Qixuan had given her. "Guizhong, access granted."
Guizhong listened to the intelligent sound effect and marveled, "How did Qixuan even create this? Never mind, now isn't the time to think about it."
She then spoke to the God on the sea, "We follow the Geo God, Morax. Don't even think about it!"
Osial scoffed, "Stubborn!" With that, he used his clearance to stir up massive waves of seawater and charge towards Liyue.
Guizhong used her clearance to form walls of sand to block the seawater, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
The Adepti injected energy into the Guizhong Ballista with their adeptal power. With a whoosh, arrows struck Osial's body.
However, this level of attack was merely a tickle to a God of Osial's caliber. Osial roared, and several water pillars rose from the sea, directly attacking the Adepti.
With no other choice, Guizhong had to split her power to dismantle the water pillars one by one. Ping'er and Marcius also started helping, but it still wasn't enough.
Just then, a water pillar surged towards the Adepti controlling the Guizhong Ballista. Guizhong truly had no more strength to spare. To preserve their fighting power, she could only abandon the Guizhong Ballista.
The Adepti flew down, looking somewhat exhausted. Now that their only means of dealing with the opponent was gone, what were they to do?
Guizhong thought with some despair, "The gap is too big; we can't deal with this at all. Lord of Geo, Qixuan, when will you return?"
The Millelith also suffered heavy casualties, and the Adepti had little power left. The civilians watched as Guizhong and the Adepti fought selflessly to protect them.
"Damn it, let's fight him! It's just one life, isn't it? That's right, if Liyue is gone, we'll have nowhere to go anyway. We might as well fight to the end!"
With that, they all picked up their weapons and charged forward. Guizhong watched this scene with tears in her eyes, wanting to stand up but needing Xianyun's help.
Lishui and Moon Carver began to restrain the civilians.
Osial scoffed, "Humans are weak. No matter what, they are still just mayflies." With that, several more water pillars attacked Guizhong and the others.
Guizhong and the others were powerless to resist. Guizhong's last thought was, "Qixuan, I still want to eat the pastries you make…"
She closed her eyes, quietly awaiting death. One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Not feeling any pain, Guizhong opened her eyes, wondering what was happening.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "It's Lord of Geo! Lord of Geo is back!" Everyone cheered.
Lord of Geo is back; they are saved.
What met Guizhong's eyes was a wall composed of towering Geo pillars, unyielding, blocking the water pillars outside.
Zhongli in the air nodded to Guizhong. This gesture seemed to finally release the tension in Guizhong's heart, and she collapsed into Xianyun's arms.
On the sea at this moment, looking at the man floating in the air, Osial felt his power, which ignited his fighting spirit.
"I've heard of you, Morax. You are strong, but this is my home ground. Let's see who is stronger."
With that, the water pillars on the sea began to spin wildly, then transformed into water tornadoes that surged towards Zhongli.
Zhongli's eyes were cold. With a wave of his hand, a wall composed of over a dozen Geo pillars easily blocked the water tornadoes.
At this moment, Azhdaha roared from the side, "I'll help you!" With a splash, he leaped into the sea, stirring up monstrous waves, and entangled with Osial.
But this was the sea, Osial's home ground. Our fat lump, no, that's not right,
It was Azhdaha who was quickly suppressed somewhat. After all, he had only just been born and then consecutively faced two high-level Gods. To have this fighting power was truly impressive.
Zhongli told Azhdaha to withdraw from the sea, and with an expressionless face, he said to Osial, "You have destroyed half of Liyue's foundation and harmed my people. Today, I will not let you live!"
At this moment, Zhongli was at his most enraged. Liyue was not only the faith he had built with the people but also the home of these countless humans.
With that, his aura surged, already surpassing the God level. This was the true Geo God, Morax!
Osial roared, his aura also emanating considerably, but it still couldn't overpower that dazzling golden light.
Osial scoffed, "Who can't boast? Come on!" With that,
Ten, twenty, thirty water tornadoes spun around Osial, stirring up fierce winds and moving towards Zhongli.
His four water element bodies (excluding the main body) all attacked Zhongli.
Zhongli calmly put up a shield for himself, then waved his hand, and thousands of Geo spears appeared out of thin air, attacking Osial.
The wind-laden water tornadoes were shattered one by one by the Geo spears. Osial's water element clones also got several holes, but they quickly recovered.
Zhongli's eyes glowed golden, and he said in a deep voice, "The jade of Taoyu, can illuminate the eight directions. Brilliant as a celestial star, peerless in its might."
"Heavenly fall!"
One, two, four.
There were a total of four heavenly holes, and four meteorites fell straight down, smashing into Osial's four water element clones.
Immediately, Osial screamed repeatedly, his clones instantly disintegrated.
At this moment, Osial planned to sink back into the sea. A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years. Zhongli would not let him have his way.
He flew to a higher point, condensing a spear in his hands.
"This spear, the Vortex Vanquisher, shall forever suppress you beneath the sea!" With that, he made a throwing motion.
At the same time, an unprecedented and most shocking scene appeared in the sky: a "Vortex Vanquisher" identical to the long spear in Zhongli's hand appeared above.
Only this "Vortex Vanquisher" was so large that several meteorites couldn't compare. As Zhongli threw down the "Vortex Vanquisher," the giant "Vortex Vanquisher" in the air also fell, directly smashing into Osial. The God of the Vortex, struck by this "spear," completely lost the ability to resist and was thoroughly suppressed at the bottom of the sea.
And that giant Geo spear forever remained there, gradually forming a massive mountain peak.
The civilians cheered, "Lord of Geo won! We are victorious!" Everyone embraced, cheering and leaping with joy.
At this moment, the sky was no longer gloomy. The morning dawn in the east gradually rose, as if celebrating the dawn of victory.
