Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Griseo: Slay Without Mercy!
The Divine Sovereign dissipated into pure energy, and with a turn, Yun Fan also vanished from sight.
Only the Vortex God Osial remained, facing off against the people on the Jade Chamber.
Of course, Yun Fan hadn't truly left. He had simply cast another adeptal spell to shield himself from everyone's perception. After all, as the Divine Sovereign, how could he stand by and watch the people of Liyue suffer and die?
"Hiss—"
Osial let out a long roar, his five ferocious serpent heads opening their bloody mouths. The divine power that had been casually dispersed by the Divine Sovereign began to gather once more.
He intended to repeat his earlier tactic, transforming his divine power into arrows. However, the people on the Jade Chamber would not let him have his way.
"Now's our chance! Adjust the mountain-splitting cannon's angle and aim for the vortex of divine power in Osial's mouth. Fire at will!" Keqing's sharp eyes immediately caught the flaw in Osial's charging attack and issued the command to fire.
Whoosh—
The fuses of the mountain-splitting cannons were lit, and several powerful cannonballs shot out, striking the vortex of divine power in Osial's mouth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The dull explosions echoed as the vortexes of divine power in Osial's mouth were detonated one after another. The backlash from his authority caused him immense pain, and his body writhed uncontrollably.
Although Osial's size paled in comparison to the thousand-foot-tall Divine Sovereign, to Lumine, Ningguang, and the other ordinary humans, he was still a colossal behemoth.
As Osial thrashed, he stirred up massive waves in the sea, which surged toward the low-flying Jade Chamber with lightning speed.
"Jade Chamber, ascend!" Ningguang narrowed her eyes and waved her hand, shouting to the control platform.
Upon receiving the order, Baiwen and Baixiao, who were in charge of controlling the Jade Chamber's flight, turned the control devices with all their might, lifting the Jade Chamber higher.
Just as the Jade Chamber rose, the towering waves swept past, narrowly missing its underside.
"This is really tough to deal with," Keqing gripped her sword hilt, muttering in frustration. All her attacks required close combat to be effective, but with the demon god standing on the sea, she had no foothold. This left Keqing in an awkward situation where she had all her skills but no way to use them.
Lumine was in the same predicament, as her weapon was also a sword.
Just as everyone was at a loss, Griseo, who had been standing quietly to the side, finally made her move. She reached out her small hand, and a palette and brush materialized in her grasp.
"In the name of the Flame-Chasers, I bestow upon you the 『Blessing of the Stars』."
Griseo's brush moved through the air, and after a few moments, a blue seal the size of a Sunsettia was drawn, floating up above the Jade Chamber.
Once it reached a certain height, the seal expanded rapidly, enveloping the entire Jade Chamber and releasing a radiant blue light.
"This power... it's so gentle..." Lumine looked at her body bathed in the light, murmuring in amazement. She could feel her strength increasing at an incredible rate, multiplying several times over in just a short moment.
"Huh? It even works on us?!" Cloud Retainer felt the surge of adeptal energy within her, which had more than doubled. She stared in shock at the little girl who looked so calm.
If she had really agreed to become my disciple earlier, wouldn't I have been the one embarrassed when it came time to teach her?
"Thank you, adeptus, for your assistance!" xN
Feeling their fatigue vanish and their wounds begin to heal, the Millelith soldiers straightened their backs and thanked Griseo in unison.
"I'm just Yun Fan's little sister, not an adeptus," Griseo shook her cute little head, rejecting the Millelith soldiers' title for her.
Not an adeptus? Then who is this little girl?
After a brief moment of thought, a particularly sharp-witted Millelith soldier suddenly smacked his fist into his palm, as if he had just realized something.
"Yun Fan? You mean Lord Divine Sovereign? You're Lord Divine Sovereign's little sister... Thank you, Princess, for your assistance!"
Soon, this soldier's perspective was accepted by everyone. If Lord Divine Sovereign was on par with Rex Lapis, then his little sister must indeed be a princess.
"Princess?" Griseo tilted her head, but she didn't reject their gratitude. After all, what little girl didn't dream of being a princess?
"Swift as lightning!"
Keqing, her power now at its peak, channeled her energy into the Lion's Roar. With a soft hum, a purple aura enveloped the entire sword.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
Keqing assumed her stance and swung her sword several times in quick succession. Crescent-shaped sword beams, each five to six meters long, sliced through the air, heading straight for the Vortex God. In an instant, they carved deep, bone-exposing wounds into his body.
Wow, the Blessing of the Stars is really something. It turned Genshin's Keqing into Honkai's Keqing in an instant. It's even more effective than the two or three years I spent training her personally.
Yun Fan, who had been watching the battle from the shadows, couldn't help but marvel. This was the Keqing he had always wanted to see, but back then, he hadn't had the strength to make it happen. Now, his wish had finally come true.
"Submit to me!" Ningguang waved her hands, spinning and leaping into the air as she unleashed her elemental burst—Starshatter.
Massive amber crystals, each half the size of a person, materialized and shot toward Osial's heads at near-supersonic speeds.
"Starfell Sword, descend!"
The one who received the greatest boost was Lumine. Although her powers were sealed, her physical capabilities remained intact.
Under the Blessing of the Stars, she temporarily gained the strength of a divine familiar.
A massive meteor fell from the sky, directly smashing two of Osial's heads and causing them to sink limply into the sea.
"Soldiers, fire your arrows!"
At Fengyan's command, the Millelith soldiers drew their bows and let loose a volley of arrows, turning the unprepared Osial into a pincushion.
"Princess, please deliver the final blow!" After the arrows were fired, Fengyan called out to Griseo, who had remained motionless the entire time.
"Mm," Griseo nodded, not refusing.
She raised her brush, and in the next moment, "Mr. Knight," wielding a greatsword, appeared behind her, ready for battle.
Then, Griseo softly spoke.
"Mr. Knight, heed my command. Slay without mercy!"
