The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

The dark abyss tide swept to Liyue's coastline and suddenly collapsed, burying the snake people in it under the port.

"This is..." The enemy that was so close suddenly disappeared before his eyes, and even someone as knowledgeable as Ningguang was stunned.

Liyue's port stretches for dozens of miles along the coastline, with ports and ships connected to each other. Although the fortifications are slightly weak due to the long-term stability, it is a good place for garrisoning and guarding the border. Most of Liyue's Thousand Rock Army is concentrated in the port today, forming a long snake stretching along the long coastline. The owners of the Eye of God also consciously dispersed from the main port and interspersed in the Thousand Rock Army's defense line to ensure that the entire front line is capable of blocking the attack of the snake people.

The sudden disappearance of the enemy caused the entire coastline to tremble in surprise.

Then, everyone saw a scene that shocked, frightened, and even desperate them.

The entire ocean was receding, revealing the wet and muddy mudflats under the sea. The frightened sea fish and the huge crabs that were well fed by the coastal fishermen were torn to pieces by the curled up seabed rapids before they could react. Oil and blood floated on the sea, coating the dark waves with a layer of scarlet.

Under the shocked gazes of the people of Liyue, the leading edge of the waves dragged countless tides back at least a thousand meters. They seemed to have life, lingering in what was originally the near sea but now became the coastline, like restless water snakes.

"Are they... retreating?" a young man in the Qianyan army asked anxiously.

The veteran beside him shook his head slowly. His many years of experience fighting monsters made him extremely sensitive to such things. In his eyes, the waves were definitely not retreating, but more like...

In welcoming! Just like in a celebration, the people who are about to enjoy a feast have waited for their king, and they willingly abandon the delicious food and grand scene, gather around the king, and bow their heads to worship him.

Kneel before the cruel monarch of the endless ocean!

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept in, and the originally surging sea water calmed down without any warning. The darkness, blood red, pollution, residue... all the filth and uncleanness slowly settled down, and the sea water seemed to have returned to the azure blue that the people of Liyue were most familiar with.

In the next second, the vitality of the entire ocean suddenly stagnated. A huge pressure from the sky completely wiped out the waves near the coast. At this time, the ocean was as stable as a huge blue crystal, without a trace of fluctuation.

There was something roaring and screaming in this crystal. A huge head like a dragon or a snake was dragging its slender and strong azure body and swimming gracefully. Mysterious and ancient runes were moving on its body like flowing water, and from time to time a dazzling cold light burst out. During the non-stop swimming, three more identical bodies and heads appeared on the surface of the "crystal". They put their huge dragon-like heads on the edge of the sea, and their huge bodies were curled up. They looked a little stupid and a little pitiful.

The four heads, like confused trapped animals, stared at Liyue innocently for three seconds, and then -

With a loud bang, after being suppressed to the extreme by the powerful, the surging waves were finally released. It slammed towards Liyue like a collapsed mountain, but was instantly restrained by an unknown force. The four giant beasts poked their majestic bodies out of the sea. The runes on their bodies were evil and solemn, and their four pairs of blue eyes seemed to contain an endless ocean. It... No, He let out a light roar, and the waves that covered the sky and the sun retreated back to His side, turning into a protective spiral.

The Demon God of the Whirlpool, Osel!

If Luo Mu were here, he would definitely think of that very famous Bible prophecy:

“Then I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads were names of blasphemy.”

The beast has returned, and his followers have gathered.

This is not only a battle to defend Liyue, but also a war between gods in the religious sense!

"When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, like Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number will be like the sea of ​​sand."

…………

Osel did not take any action. He just looked at Liyue from afar like a towering statue rising from the ancient ruins. One of his heads was facing the Jade Pavilion, so Luomu, who was desperately trying to recover his body and prepare to absorb people's resentment, could clearly see his eyes.

In those huge pupilless eyes, there was an endless abyss, and - Luo Mu didn't know if it was his own illusion - a hint of loneliness.

The war has already begun beneath their feet.

Osel released his hold on the ocean, and the tide spread back to everyone's feet, returning with the tide, along with those dead black snake people.

The spear tips of the Qianyan Army's vanguards easily penetrated their chests, but the strange black mud instantly wrapped around the spear tips. The snake people roared fiercely. They ignored the fatal penetrating wounds in their chests and struggled to wrap their slender snake tails around the spears. They moved forward bit by bit, pushing against the wounds, and their claws that were sharp enough to tear stone bricks grabbed the Qianyan Army's faces.

The body is just a container. As long as the resentment remains, these damn monsters will never die!

Xingqiu raised his sword and casually cut off the dead branches of an ignorant snake man. He turned around and kicked it in the chest, sending the angry and hissing snake man back into the sea.

Four chalcedony-colored azure swords hung beside him. As he attacked, the swords turned into small dragons, circling and stabbing his enemies. This was the way he used elemental power, which he had figured out by himself according to the ancient swordsmanship.

Not far from him, purple sword lights that seemed to be able to tear through space flashed among the snakes. Every time a thunderous sword light flashed, a snake man would fall to the ground with a bang, and the black smoke in its body would dissipate on its own and float back into the clouds in the sky.

“No, we are just delaying the time for them to break through the port.” Keqing said a little anxiously. She twisted her waist and squatted down, and her long sword outlined a circle of sharp sword light, cutting off the snake people surrounding her and several Thousand Rock Army soldiers.

A trace of bitterness rose in Xingqiu's mouth. He opened his mouth but didn't utter the last word. He just used the hilt of his sword to cruelly smash the head of the snake man that pounced on him into a puddle of mud. The black mucus splashed onto his clothes, burning holes of various sizes in this priceless ceremonial suit, revealing the white skin underneath.

In his opinion, this interception battle was doomed to fail. These strange monsters would eventually break through the defenses and enter the city, forcing them to engage in street fighting. And if they really fought in Liyue City...

Xingqiu couldn't help but shudder.

Is there really no other way? He was secretly angry in his heart.

In his heart, there was actually always a hope that became increasingly slim due to Osel's return.

Can that little blue figure create a miracle this time?
