Jia Changjiang plummeted from the sky, landing squarely on the golden giant’s shoulder. As he steadied himself, he gazed at Osial, whose wounds were already beginning to mend.
The rain washed over him, sobering him from the lingering effects of the eighteen bowls of wine he had downed earlier. While those drinks had fueled his courage at the start, what he craved now was not liquid bravery but the satisfaction of seeing this through to the end.
Reaching into his system space, Jia Changjiang retrieved two large jars of wine. He lifted one high and roared, his voice drawing the attention of the Millelith below.
Their eyes turned upward, locking onto him as he stood atop the radiant colossus.
“Listen up! The Adepti are preparing the final blow against this god!” he bellowed. “That leaves us with one task: keeping Osial in check!”
He smashed the seal on one wine jar and hoisted it in a toast.
“Facing a god in battle—this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance! Right now, behind us lies Liyue. Will you allow Osial to take even a single step toward it?”
“WILL YOU?!”
The Millelith didn’t need to answer. Their expressions spoke volumes, their silence heavy with resolve.
“Looks like I don’t need to hear it.” Jia Changjiang grinned. “Though we’ve only met here on this battlefield, as of today, we’re comrades in arms.”
Raising the jar, he poured its contents into the air, letting the wine scatter like rain over the Millelith below.
“Don’t you dare die out there!” he yelled, his voice full of mock authority. “When this is over, I’ll hunt you all down for drinks!”
With a flourish, he lifted the second jar and tipped it over his face, chugging deeply. The excess wine spilled down his neck, soaking his clothes.
When the last drop was gone, he smashed the empty jar to the ground. With a feral grin, he wiped his mouth on his sleeve and faced Osial once more.
“Now… let’s give this god hell!”
Black mist began to seep from Jia Changjiang’s body, consuming the golden glow that surrounded him. The crimson Exorcism Seal etched into his back flared brightly, its tendrils snaking outward and spreading across the giant.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The Millelith, now fully understanding the gravity of the moment, echoed his cry.
They were no longer merely survivors of Osial’s earlier attacks; they were warriors, ready to face the god’s full wrath head-on. Fear lingered in their hearts, but it was drowned out by their resolve—by their unwillingness to let Liyue fall.
The golden giant, formed of their combined will and Adepti energy, grew darker as the black mist spread. Its form solidified further, the once-translucent construct hardening into an imposing, fearsome entity.
Jia Changjiang stepped into the heart of the giant, merging with it.
The Millelith followed suit, their spirits and strength fusing into the giant’s colossal frame.
When the transformation was complete, the giant stood fully formed—a towering figure with a visage eerily reminiscent of Jia Changjiang’s own.
Its face twisted into a grin that mirrored his, exuding an overwhelming aura of ferocity.
With its new solidity, the giant could no longer remain on the Jade Chamber. It leapt from the platform, landing with a thunderous crash onto the ocean’s surface.
As the giant’s body expanded, its size dwarfed even the waves churned up by the battle. It grew taller, broader, until it seemed poised to become a pillar supporting the heavens themselves.
The once-terrifying aura of Osial now seemed muted in comparison to the oppressive presence of the giant.
“ROAR!”
Osial, sensing the threat, let out an earth-shaking bellow and lunged at the giant.
But the giant was faster. One massive hand seized one of Osial’s serpentine heads, and a fist the size of a mountain came crashing down.
“HAHAHAHA!”
The giant’s booming laughter rippled across the sea.
“Finally! No more rules, no more limits—just pure, unrestrained battle! Come, Osial, Vortex God of the Abyss!”
Jia Changjiang’s voice roared from within the giant as it wrenched Osial’s body, slamming another colossal punch into its form.
Osial retaliated viciously, its other heads snapping and tearing at the giant. Its fangs sank into the giant’s shoulders and sides, leaving gaping wounds.
But the giant fought back with raw, primal fury. Every attack, every movement, was an expression of pure instinct—a contest of brute strength between two colossal forces.
The sea beneath them churned violently, the impact of their blows sending waves crashing outward as if trying to overturn the entire ocean.
On the Jade Chamber, the Adepti watched the spectacle with a mix of awe and unease.
“That aura…” Cloud Retainer murmured, her sharp eyes narrowing. “It is not pure.”
The giant radiated an unsettling mixture of energies, its presence almost indistinguishable from the god it was fighting.
Were it not for the fact that it was actively defending Liyue, one might mistake it for another ancient god risen from the depths.
Meanwhile, Lumine focused on her own task, pouring every ounce of her energy into her creation.
Around her, elemental energy coalesced, forming crystalline structures of gleaming stone. Wind and earth intertwined, binding the elements into a solid, unified mass.
The Adepti assisted her, stabilizing the creation and infusing it with their own power.
“More… just a little more,” Lumine muttered, sweat dripping from her brow. Her voice was steady despite the strain. “It has to be strong enough to send that god packing!”
The growing construct shimmered with power, an intricate fusion of elemental force and celestial energy.
As the battle raged, Jia Changjiang’s laughter echoed through the air once more.
“Now we fight, Osial!” he shouted, his voice carrying both defiance and exhilaration.
The giant’s immense form loomed over the battlefield, its massive fists crashing down again and again, each blow shaking the very sea.
Amid the chaos, Jia Changjiang grinned.
“An opportunity like this… doesn’t come twice.”
