Chapter 53: Chapter 53
While Guizhong and Ganyu were having their discussion about reproduction,
Nathan was unaware that he would suffer greatly because of this in the future.
Meanwhile outside Guili Assembly, the creation of mechanical automatons was proceeding smoothly.
Even knowing that Guili Assembly would become ruins in the future game world,
Nathan maintained an extremely serious attitude while crafting these automatons.
After all, working with the Geo God, whose meticulous attitude influenced Nathan as well.
The materials for creating these automatons came from Morax's powers.
Constantly in his god form, Morax couldn't show the friendliness he would later display as Zhongli in the game.
Unlike the playful Ganyu and Guizhong, the interaction between these two... consisted only of brief words like "mm," "good," and "done."
.............
After setting up all the mechanisms, the return journey was equally silent.
When Nathan returned to Guili Assembly and saw Ganyu's flushed face, he instinctively sensed something was wrong.
Though not knowing what happened, he remained mentally alert.
However, despite his caution, he still fell victim to Ganyu's nighttime attack.
The little one sneaked into Nathan's prepared room, silently climbing onto his bed.
Without warning, she sat directly on his waist.
If not for the cool sensation of clothes being removed waking him at the crucial moment... ( bruhh)
Nathan would have been... forcefully taken by Ganyu.
"Baby, let me have Nathan's baby quickly!"
Lifting the little girl's delicate body, fortunately stopping at the crucial step.
Even though discovered, Ganyu kept shouting these words.
Such a strange scene... in modern times, Nathan would've been arrested immediately.
Then for the next month, Nathan would help Guizhong during the day.
Teaching the people of Guili Assembly some knowledge from the future, like farming and tool-making techniques.
Regarding this advanced knowledge, neither Guizhong nor Cloud Retainer found it surprising.
Because they believed Nathan to be the legendary qilin - being a legendary creature, it was normal to know a bit more!
Daytime would pass, and nights would bring Ganyu's continuous attacks.
So during this period, Nathan lived a life that was both painful and joyful.
During this daily life, the simulator system remained silent.
Unlike the previous two simulations that only lasted a day or two in the life scenario,
Continuing through consecutive choices until the simulation ended.
But this time, Nathan had stayed for a full month.
Just as he wondered if the system might be dormant, changes finally occurred...
.............
It was a brilliantly sunny day, with everyone at Guili Assembly's entrance.
"Morax, be careful of the opposing god!"
Guizhong stood in front, cautioning the departing Geo God.
Seeing this, Ganyu recalled Guizhong's words about longing for a loved one's quick return.
"I will... take care of yourselves guarding Guili Assembly!"
Very rarely... instead of his usual short phrases, he spoke a longer sentence.
"Don't worry... I'll handle everything here!"
Guizhong waved her long sleeves, not wanting him to worry further.
Morax's journey was to deal with a rampaging god in Liyue's depths.
That Yaksha deity was so powerful that even Cloud Retainer had to accompany him.
But as their strongest fighter left, Morax kept worrying... that other enemies might attack at this time.
"Go now, I will protect our Guili Assembly!"
"Then I'll return quickly!"
Morax looked back, the place where a god's heart should be was empty, wanting to engrave this gentleness and beauty in his memory....
..................
But that afternoon of parting, while Nathan and Ganyu were resting indoors, the simulator system finally stirred.
However, this alert wasn't good news at all.
[A god will attack soon, please prepare!]
At the system's prompt, Nathan jumped up from the bed.
Startled awake, the little one rubbed her sleepy eyes as she walked to Nathan's side.
"Nathan, what happened?"
Ganyu also peeked outside, and the scene completely cleared her drowsiness.
The originally azure sky was now covered by dark clouds!
Layer upon layer of black clouds pressed down, completely enveloping Guili Assembly.
"Nathan... what is this?"
The oppressive and tense atmosphere made the little one grip his arm tightly.
In response, Nathan held the girl's delicate hand, transferring his warmth to her.
"It's nothing, Ganyu, just stay in the room and don't go anywhere!"
As he finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
"No... I want to go with Nathan!"
Ganyu wasn't foolish; with such a scene, how could it be nothing?
She hugged Nathan's entire body, refusing to let him leave.
"ROAR!!!"
At the same time, terrifying howls echoed over.
These were clearly calls from different mouths, yet strangely unified.
"Nathan, look..."
As the roars ended, the little one suddenly pointed to the distance...
Following her finger, Nathan saw a massive creature approaching Guili Assembly!
An azure body, blue like seawater.
Most terrifying was that on the monster's enormous body were five snake-like horrifying heads.
All five snake heads opened their mouths, continuing their unified roar.
Osial, the Vortex God - this god was quite familiar to Nathan.
After all, in the game's storyline, Liyue's main quest finale involved battling this god after its seal broke.
In that battle, even with humans and adepti united, exhausting everything, they couldn't defeat the god even in its weakened state.
Only when Ningguang made the ultimate sacrifice, using the Jade Chamber as a weapon, did they manage to reseal the god.
Now in the Archon War period a thousand years ago, Osial was at full strength.
Its fierce approach would be many times more difficult than in the game's storyline.
"Nathan... be careful!"
A cry broke his thoughts.
The Vortex God's five snake heads were simultaneously gathering blinding white light in their mouths.
And their target was Nathan's position.
