Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 140: Ch : The Geo Archon who hates seafood

"The power of the eerie..."

Hearing Su Yuan's explanation, Zhongli nodded solemnly.

"Though I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable, I've never heard of anything like this before..."

"A power this unimaginable, able to manipulate one's mind and turn people into terrifying monsters..."

"You know," Hu Tao also began to speak slowly, "Wangsheng Funeral Parlor didn't originally specialize in funerals — we were more like doctors."

"During the Archon War, when the world was plunged into chaos and corpses littered the land, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was born... Ordinary humans standing against death itself."

"To define the boundary between life and death, and to maintain the balance between the two..."

"But now, with the existence of these eerie forces, many more lives will surely be lost..."

"As the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, how could I possibly stand by and do nothing?"

"The Director speaks the truth," Zhongli nodded in agreement.

Su Yuan also nodded.

With this, it seems like Hu Tao and Zhongli have officially joined the team, huh?

............

On the shore of a small island in Guyun Sea, Xiao stood with his weapon, Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, in hand, weaving and slashing through countless aquatic monsters shrouded in pitch-black and blood-red auras—creatures beyond understanding or description.

The other Adepti were battling these monsters near the vicinity of Guyun Stone Forest, but due to the sheer number of them—and the fact that Adepti power had no effect on these beings—they were forced to rely on the most primitive, basic form of physical combat.

It was inevitable that some would slip through.

Xiao, stationed here as the final line of defense, was tasked with preventing the monsters corrupted by the eerie power from breaching Liyue Harbor.

Back when he faced the lingering might of the vortex, and Beisht—the wife of the Vortex God, Osial—Xiao once declared:

"This place lies only one mountain away from Liyue Harbor. If the situation truly spirals out of control..."

"Even if I'm the only one left, I will hold the line."

But now, Xiao no longer had the confidence to say such words.

Just these lowly minions had already pushed him—and the other Adepti—to their limits.

In fact, just yesterday, during an especially intense battle, his Yaksha mask had fallen into the water, and he had no idea where it had drifted off to...

Later that night, as the monsters' attacks weakened, he made a swift trip and successfully retrieved his mask.

No wonder the Geo Archon had said that even though this was now an age ruled by mortals, and even though he had once declared his faith in humanity, the current crisis was far too dire—Adepti must go all out to protect Liyue Harbor...

Yet what puzzled Xiao was that the commotion at Guyun Stone Forest wasn't exactly subtle.

Even if no one had gone to inform Ningguang and the rest of the Liyue Qixing, was it possible they hadn't noticed anything at all?

And then there was that pitch-black and blood-red power emanating from the bodies of these monsters—what exactly was it?

Though it bore some resemblance to the remnants of demonic power and resentment that lingered in his own body—known as karmic debt—it was even more terrifying and domineering.

As Xiao pondered, he suddenly felt an overwhelmingly terrifying aura.

The water before him began to swirl into a blood-red vortex, and from it, a massive figure emerged before Xiao's eyes...

It was none other than the Vortex God—Osial—who had twice been sealed beneath Guyun Stone Forest!

Only now, his entire body was wrapped in a sinister force of pitch-black and blood-red energy.

His aura was far more dreadful than what Xiao had remembered.

One after another, the other Adepti of Liyue also appeared beside Xiao.

"Guyun Stone Forest has fallen..."

Cloud Retainer spoke gravely:

"The Guizhong Ballistas—those which I've revised, improved, and revised again—were indeed effective against Osial's smaller minions..."

"But the moment Osial himself appeared, he destroyed all the Guizhong Ballistas in an instant."

"We cannot retreat any further. Behind us... lies Liyue Harbor," Xiao declared resolutely.

"What about the Geo Archon? Where has he gone?" Moon Carver asked.

"With just us alone, I fear we may not be able to stop this current incarnation of Osial..."

As they watched "Osial" stirring up a blood-red whirlpool, slowly advancing in the direction of Liyue Harbor, all of the Adepti found themselves at a loss on how to respond...

Yet in the next moment, something entirely unexpected occurred—

A massive geo spear suddenly plummeted from the sky, crashing down at blinding speed, and struck Osial's colossal body with tremendous force!

Osial's entire form trembled violently.

From the many mouths on his heads erupted a chorus of roars—whether of pain or rage, none could tell.

It was the Geo Archon! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

All the Adepti understood in that instant—the geo spear just now, was the work of their Lord Morax!

However, everyone also noticed that something was off...

The Adepti of Liyue were born from the elemental energy drifting between heaven and earth—they were beings of the purest elemental nature.

Adeptal power, in essence, is also a form of elemental energy, and thus has proven ineffective against those monsters corrupted and controlled by the eerie power...

Yet the Geo Archon's stone spear—also made of concentrated Geo elemental force—had managed to deal tremendous damage to "Osial."

As everyone pondered this contradiction, three more stone spears rained down from the sky.

Only then did they notice that these were not ordinary Geo spears...

Rather than calling them stone spears, it would be more accurate to call them eerie spears—for each of them was shrouded in a swirling aura of black and crimson eerie energy.

These were... eerie spears?

Everyone instinctively looked up—only to see that the figure of the Geo Archon standing in the sky... no longer looked like his usual self.

His face was twisted, his eyes blood-red—clearly showing the signs of being corrupted and controlled by the eerie power...

"I hate seafood..."

"It's slimy... slippery... covered in that disgusting fishy stench that never washes off..."

"Zhongli" spoke viciously:

"I will wipe you all out—every last one of you!"

Sensing that things had taken a dire turn, "Osial" immediately turned and attempted to flee back into the sea, while "Zhongli" pursued without the slightest hesitation...

Both "Osial" and "Zhongli" vanished into the distant waves, leaving the Adepti behind—bewildered, caught in the wind, unable to make sense of what had just happened...

The Geo Archon... What had happened to him?

Why had he also been corrupted and controlled by the eerie power?

And on a distant mountaintop, Dottore stood gazing out at the sea, silently observing everything unfold...

"I clearly told that eerie force... to break the seal on Azhdaha..."

"That makes one Vortex Demon God, Osial, corrupted by the eerie power... one Morax, controlled by the eerie power... and one Azhdaha, who has lost all reason due to erosion... Together, they're bound to cause quite a bit of trouble for Liyue Harbor."

"But Morax... even under the control of the eerie corruption, did he still defy my command?"

"Should I say it's due to his strong will, or does he truly just hate seafood that much?"

"Well, whatever. From the current situation, the likely outcome of this experiment... might just be that both Morax and Osial, corrupted by my eerie power, end up battling each other and exhausting the eerie energy within themselves during the fight..."

"In the end, both Morax and Osial return to normal and break free from the incomplete eerie."

"And then Osial... is sealed away by Morax once more."

"I had originally planned for Osial to wreak havoc upon Liyue Harbor again, but instead, he ends up being sealed for the third time?"

"To think—my use of eerie power to corrupt and control Morax actually ended up helping Liyue Harbor get through this crisis... at least temporarily."

"Of course, there's also the possibility that Morax, being far stronger, still had some leftover eerie power in him after draining Osial's."

"Osial could have been utterly destroyed, and Morax... might not have regained his sanity at all."

"If that's the case... then what comes next will be very interesting indeed."

"I'd be able to observe more events, and gather even more experimental data..."

"Ahaha... unexpected as it may be, the outcome must still be respected as part of the experiment."

"Speaking of which—my dear old friend should've arrived in Liyue Harbor by now, hasn't he?"

"Maybe... I'll go pay him a visit first?"
