Keqing, unable to launch a ranged attack, also thought of a way to attack.
She gathered Electro element power at her feet, rushing towards the sea. Relying on the high speed of the Electro element, she was able to run on the water for a short time.
Throwing the Lightning Stiletto in her hand, she instantly arrived in mid-air. After getting close to Osial, she directly used 'Lightning of Myriad Inazuma'.
After a series of agile sword moves, Keqing shouted, "Ganyu!"
Ganyu understood, using ice arrows to create a foothold for Keqing at her landing point.
After Keqing landed, she quickly threw a Lightning Stiletto towards the small island, but the distance of one Lightning Stiletto was not enough for her to return to the island.
After being hit by a combo, Osial was still a bit sore and angrily fired a water cannon in Keqing's direction.
However, with Shenhe and Hu Tao escorting her, it was impossible for the water cannon to hit Keqing.
With Ganyu's cooperation, Keqing returned to the small island after several leaps.
"Yuheng is truly amazing," the Millelith praised.
Never mind whether the DMG is high or not; this combo indeed boosted morale.
Let's not talk about whether the DMG is high or not, but rather how fast this combo is.
One can only say that Keqing's strength is not weak, but she is somewhat powerless against Osial.
Facing Osial, let alone Keqing, even Shenhe was powerless.
Osial is not some weak God; Keqing being able to make Osial feel a little pain is already good, at least it means she broke his defense.
Osial was very angry and separated a 'water snake head' to approach the small island.
A massive 'snake body' appeared on the small island, sweeping its head towards the people on the island.
At this point, Hu Tao, who had nothing to do but enchant the Millelith's arrows with Pyro element, became spirited. She twirled her spear and directly met the attack. Shenhe didn't move, but her Icebound Spirit also thrust out its spear.
Shenhe and Hu Tao together managed to stop the terrifying might of the 'snake body'.
Keqing's Lightning Stiletto appeared on the snake head, instantly appearing, and her longsword, imbued with Electro element, directly pierced into it.
Ganyu's arrows followed immediately, exploding upon impact.
Under such continuous attacks, Osial's head quietly retracted.
However, at this moment, several water lines wrapped around the snake head, contracting sharply, causing another instance of DMG.
"Apologies, I seem to be late," Yelan made a reeling-in motion.
Osial felt very aggrieved. Why was he getting beaten up right after emerging from the seal? Everyone was so extraordinary. Was this entrapment?
All of Osial's attacks were blocked. Although the attacks from Liyue's people and the Adepti could hit Osial, the DMG was not significant.
Now it was a matter of whether Liyue's side would exhaust their strength first, or if Osial would run out of HP first.
In the distant sky, a green-clad boy sat cross-legged in the air, with the wind as his seat.
"Oh, how wonderful, but wouldn't this turn into a test of stamina?"
"Competing in stamina with a God is not a good choice," Venti commented while drinking wine.
He had no intention of interfering. This was the old man's test for Liyue, and as the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, he naturally had no standing to interfere.
Moreover, with so many Adepti present in Liyue, Osial couldn't cause much trouble. Currently, it seemed these Adepti hadn't used their full strength.
"Would you like a drink too?"
"Oh, minors cannot drink alcohol," Venti said.
"Barbatos, I am almost five hundred years old," Nahida's voice came through.
The wind next to Venti supported an Akasha Terminal.
"Thank you for your help, Barbatos. Unfortunately, I can't drink with you right now," Nahida said gently.
"Then let's wait for another opportunity," Venti smiled.
This was all he could do to help Nahida; interfering in the internal affairs of another nation was impossible.
On the Jade Chamber, Lin Qiu stopped his attack, "This won't do. I think..."
"Oh! I know, are you trying to say, 'I think, I want to ignite the ocean!'"
Paimon said, mimicking Lin Qiu's pose, with a flick of her small hand and a determined expression.
"Hurry up, Lin Qiu! Ignite the ocean and defeat this big monster," Paimon said excitedly.
"..." Lin Qiu pinched Paimon's cheek, pulling and rubbing it.
I was just saying that. If I could really ignite the ocean, Morax would have to pour me a cup of tea.
Then, in the future, Yingbao would serve me food while I turn the table, and Venti would toast me while I refuse to drink.
Punching the Grass God's nursery, kicking Furina's opera house.
At this moment, Zhongli, observing the battle from the port, smiled. Under his instigation, little Paimon really did steal Lin Qiu's line.
Lin Qiu released Paimon, whose small face was rubbed into two red blushes, and said:
"I meant to say that I think we should unleash a barrage of firepower to suppress Osial, and I will seal him."
Paimon rubbed her little face. So I guessed wrong. If I guess correctly next time, will he stop rubbing me?
Lumine looked at Lin Qiu in confusion, "You have a way to seal him?"
Lin Qiu nodded. Osial had not completely broken free from the seal, so he couldn't move freely or exert his full strength.
He had exchanged items from the system that were sufficient to reinforce the seal, but he had to suppress Osial first, otherwise, he would still break through the seal.
This was like catching a Pokemon; if it resisted too much, it would escape from the Poke Ball.
"Let's go, let's talk to Ningguang," Lin Qiu said.
Ningguang was already considering whether to drop the Jade Chamber.
Naval combat was not Liyue's specialty after all, but if Osial were allowed onto land, Liyue Harbor would suffer greatly.
They couldn't retreat, but if things continued like this, even if Osial was repelled, he might return later.
He had to be sealed again. Ningguang thought of her Jade Chamber.
The manufacturing materials of the Jade Chamber were inseparable from the Adepti, and it also contained an unknown number of incantations, making it perfect for a large sealing array.
But the Jade Chamber was her dream; how could she easily give it up?
"I am Tianquan after all."
Ningguang rarely showed a soft side, looking lingeringly at the building behind her, her gaze firm.
The Jade Chamber could be rebuilt, but she absolutely could not let Osial destroy her beloved Liyue.
"Esteemed Adepti, listen to me," Ningguang began.
"I know what you want to say, but before that, listen to my plan," Lin Qiu interrupted.
"Hmm? Does Mr. Lin Qiu have a plan?" Ningguang asked.
She now knew that Lin Qiu was not the Geo Archon, since it was said to be the Geo Archon's test, how could the Geo Archon himself intervene?
"I have items that can repair the seal, but it's more troublesome than directly dropping the Jade Chamber. It requires everyone to suppress Osial."
Ningguang dropping the Jade Chamber could directly stun and seal Osial.
But Lin Qiu's items were clearly not strong enough to directly seal a God; they could only prevent the opponent from breaking through the seal once it was formed.
This required suppressing Osial's resistance before the seal formed, which would be much more troublesome.
"I see, then let's implement it," Cloud Retainer was impatient and immediately offered her suggestion after hearing it.
The others were still considering the feasibility, but Cloud Retainer had already begun pouring in her Adeptal power.
"Cloud Retainer, you... sigh." Lishui sighed helplessly and also began pouring in his Adeptal power.
Xiaoyue followed closely. Granny Ping and Xiao also assisted the Jade Chamber's arrays.
"In that case, my plan will be a backup," Ningguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, mobilizing Geo element to cooperate with the Adepti's attacks.
Keqing and Beidou, seeing the Jade Chamber increase its firepower, also understood what was happening and very tacitly unleashed their respective powers together.

"Hmm, I'm very grateful to him. He allowed me to keep the Jade Chamber, but, alas, dealing with a Prophet truly leaves one with no hidden cards.
Thankfully, he and I are on the same side, not enemies."
