Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

"Nathan... be careful!!!"

Under Ganyu's cry from behind, the distant Vortex God was ready to strike.

Five terrifying snake heads simultaneously glowed with destructive white light.

Under the cloud-covered sky, it was blindingly bright.

Osial's target was nearby Guili Assembly.

Or rather... coincidentally where the two of them stood.

At this critical moment, there was no time to consider who the god's actual target was.

What needed to be done now was to immediately avoid this attack.

This Vortex God had a fearsome reputation throughout Liyue's history.

Even later when facing the Geo Archon, the latter couldn't destroy it, only seal it away.

This was vastly different from the unnamed god Nathan encountered earlier in Jueyun Karst... the one Ganyu had choked to death.

"Quick, dodge!!!"

Before his words finished, Nathan grabbed Ganyu into his embrace.

Leaping high, they left their house's position.

"ROAR!!!"

The next second, destructive white light shot forth, piercing through from Guili Assembly's entrance.

Where the light passed, deep trenches were carved into the earth.

Rows of houses were destroyed instantly.

Including the house Nathan had just left, reduced to debris under the god's attack.

Some Guili Assembly residents lost their lives immediately as houses collapsed.

However, more survivors let out anguished cries in this disaster.

"Waaaaaah!"

"Father, Mother!!"

"Aaaahhhh!!!"

Adult voices, children's cries - this disaster was far from over.

Because the passing white light was actually composed of seawater.

As the light's energy dissipated, vast amounts of seawater remained.

Soon, all of Guili Assembly was submerged in ocean waters.

"Nathan...?"

The little one trembled in his arms; the god's attack was enough to terrify anyone who witnessed it.

"It's alright, don't be afraid!"

Holding Ganyu, he descended from the air, his feet touching the azure waters as ice elements concentrated at his soles.

Where they landed, a thin layer of ice instantly formed, preventing them from falling into the water.

Just then, Guizhong's anxious voice came from nearby.

"Little brother Nathan, little Ganyu, the enemy is a terrible god, quickly hide!"

Guizhong floated in mid-air, her enormous sleeves swaying in the wind.

After her warning, she turned to another side, where Guoba accompanied her.

The Stove God's huge body was already half-submerged in seawater.

"Marchosius, please use your power to drive back these waters."

Following Guizhong's instruction, Guoba raised his round hands, then plunged them into the seawater.

His body emitting a fiery glow, power transmitted into the earth, producing a humming sound.

Large amounts of seawater gradually receded with this action.

As the waters dispersed, they revealed the scarred earth beneath.

"Lu-lu!"

Guoba made a simple gesture, seemingly waiting for Guizhong's next instruction.

"Thank you... Marchosius, quickly take little brother Nathan and little Ganyu back, protect the survivors!"

At this, Guizhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Guizhong... what are you going to do?"

Seeing her resolute gaze, Ganyu asked worriedly.

"I will face the attacking god!"

Her tone grew heavy, revealing Guizhong's determination.

Especially after seeing the devastation, this Dust God rarely showed anger.

This was a human settlement created by three gods, the fruit of her and Morax's joint efforts - she couldn't let the enemy god desecrate it.

"Don't go... Sister Guizhong, it's too dangerous!"

"With Morax absent, I must protect our people!"

Even when parting with Morax, Guizhong had a premonition.

This was something every god had to face, a heaven-sent fate.

"Morax..."

Guizhong thought to herself, having been able to say goodbye to her beloved, she had no regrets.

"ROAR!!!"

Terrible roars approached; the Vortex God didn't care about such things.

Among these three allied gods... the militarily strongest Geo God wasn't here.

It knew this was the perfect opportunity; Osial had waited too long for this day.

On this continent of Teyvat, each region could only have one victor.

The losers' fate was either death... or exile to the outer seas.

Far from homeland, barely surviving in the cold dark seas - this was the Archon War's cruelty.

In Liyue's current situation, with three gods allied, victory in the war was almost certainly tilting toward that strongest Geo God.

To avoid the fate of the defeated, Osial could only fight desperately.

The five snake heads converged, unlike the earlier separate beams, this time concentrating their light together.

Destructive white light erupted again, many times stronger than before.

"It's coming, hurry and leave!!!"

After shouting, Guizhong faced the brilliant white light alone.

Her wide sleeves danced left and right, dim light emanating from their openings.

Unlike the blinding white light, Guizhong's was a dark gray.

As the lights collided, her beautiful brows furrowed deeply.

Gritting her teeth, Guizhong tried to push back the destructive white beam.

The two lights remained deadlocked, but the white gradually overcame the gray.

"BOOM"

A violent explosion occurred, both lights vanished, and Guizhong was blasted to the ground.

Compared to her disheveled state, the Vortex God appeared completely at ease.

Osial was a top-tier god, and Guizhong wasn't skilled in combat - this was the difference in strength.

"If Morax were here, this wouldn't happen!"

Guizhong's mind conjured her beloved's image.

Their relationship had always been thus - with her intellect plus Morax's power, Guili Assembly had developed to this point.

Now with that power absent, intellect alone couldn't sustain everything.

But even so, she would give her all.

"*cough* *cough*!"

Coughing heavily, Guizhong stood up again from the ground.

Giving everything - she had already made her resolution.

Facing this composed Vortex God, Guizhong had only one move left.

Detonating her divine status, using a technique of mutual destruction.
