Seeing Osial slowly advancing towards Liyue Harbor with Beisht in his arms, the people on the Jade Chamber could not stand idly by. Ningguang immediately activated the amplification array on the Jade Chamber, generating countless gemstones that shot towards Osial.
The Crux Fleet, under Beidou's command, also continued to fire cannons. For a time, the overwhelming attacks slowed Osial's advance, but only slowed him.
Osial's DEF was clearly superior to Beisht's. The new Guizhong Ballista could compensate for quality with quantity when dealing with creatures below the Adeptus level, but against a God-level Osial, the power of the new Guizhong Ballista's bombardment was somewhat insufficient; it couldn't even break his DEF.
Seeing this, Vigilant Yaksha's mask instantly appeared on his face. Wielding the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, his Yaksha power erupted instantly, and he rapidly advanced towards Osial at an imperceptible speed, moving back and forth like two wind wheels, continuously leaving lacerations on Osial's body.
The flowing blood stained the surrounding sea, and Osial let out a painful wail. As his six heads roared skyward, the Sea of Clouds instantly became turbulent with wind and clouds, and three enormous whirlpools appeared before Osial.
Subsequently, these three whirlpools shot from the sea surface straight into the sky, forming three massive sea tornadoes.
One of these sea tornadoes was heading directly towards The Crux Fleet. The massive sea tornado carried a terrifying suction force, attempting to engulf the entire Crux Fleet. Several reconnaissance ships closest to the sea tornado, due to insufficient propulsion, were utterly defenseless and were directly swept high into the air by the sea tornado.
The sturdy sailing ships, in the face of the sea tornado's terrifying power, were like paper, instantly shattering. Beidou, seeing this, quickly ordered full speed ahead, to escape the sea tornado's pursuit with all her might. However, the sea tornado moved very quickly and gradually caught up with The Crux Fleet, occasionally sweeping in ships with insufficient power.
At this moment, Beidou on the Alcor could only watch helplessly as her painstakingly assembled fleet suffered heavy losses, but she couldn't afford to grieve. She could only order The Crux Fleet to scatter and flee, to avoid being wiped out.
The other two sea tornadoes, one advanced towards the south of Liyue Harbor, and the other towards the north of Liyue Harbor. Of the three sea tornadoes, none were released in the direction of the Jade Chamber. Osial's objective for this trip was very simple: he was headed for Liyue Harbor. As for the Jade Chamber, it was not his target for this attack.
Cloud Retainer, Mountain Shaper, and Moon Carver on the Jade Chamber, seeing the situation, flapped their wings and rushed towards the two sea tornadoes heading for Liyue Harbor. As for the sea tornado in Beidou's direction, no one paid it any mind.
Ningguang, seeing Beidou's Crux Fleet suffering heavy losses from the air, also felt her pain, but her own power was utterly helpless in the face of the astonishing sea tornado.
She could only look at Yuto and hastily said, "Yuto, please..." Before Ningguang could finish speaking, Yuto's figure had already vanished.
At this time, The Crux Fleet, under Beidou's command, had already fled the sea tornado in three directions. As for which direction the sea tornado would advance, that was entirely up to luck.
And the direction the sea tornado ultimately chose was precisely where Beidou's Alcor was. As the largest, best-equipped, and fastest-sailing ship of The Crux Fleet, Beidou actually felt a sense of relief when she saw the sea tornado heading towards her Alcor.
If the sea tornado pursued ships in other directions, her side would indeed be safe, but the other ships would likely be in grave danger. Those ships' sailing speeds couldn't compare to the sea tornado's movement speed. If it pursued her direction, with the Alcor's sailing speed, there was at least a chance of escape.
However, Beidou's idea was quickly proven wrong. As time passed, the sea tornado's range grew larger and larger, and its suction force became stronger and stronger. Headwinds coupled with adverse currents caused the Alcor's sailing speed to become slower and slower. Even with Beidou's frantic urging, the sea tornado still drew closer and closer to the Alcor.
Even the most experienced sailors, when facing such a natural disaster, would eventually break down. Especially the female crew members on board, who had already begun to cry bitterly and let out desperate wails.
As the captain of the Alcor, Beidou, however, calmly walked to the stern, watching the sea tornado drawing closer and closer to her. She fearlessly raised the Serpent Spine in her hand, and the Electro Vision hanging at her waist instantly glowed brightly.
Beidou recalled the battle where she once slayed the Haishan beast. It was after that battle that she gained the Vision's recognition. Give up? That's not my style!
Beidou directly summoned the power of the beast and lightning, creating a Thunderbeast's Shield around herself. The accompanying crew members were instantly astonished to see their captain like this. Is Sister Beidou trying to cleave the sea tornado in half with one stroke? Isn't that a bit like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot?
"I am Beidou! The leader of The Crux Fleet! The Dragon King of Liyue! Watch closely, this is the power that slays Haishan!"
Beidou, gripping the Serpent Spine, ran quickly. After several leaps, Beidou used the pivot point at the stern of the ship to leap high into the air and directly struck down towards the roaring sea tornado.
Under the immense force, the sea tornado was cut with a deep crack by this strike, but the next moment, like trying to cut water with a knife, which only makes it flow more, Beidou's hands, gripping the Serpent Spine, felt as if they had been heavily struck, and she lost all strength. The Serpent Spine was swept into the sea tornado, disappearing without a trace.
Beidou looked at her powerless hands and let out a self-deprecating laugh. In her last moments, she turned to the crew of the Alcor and said, "Brothers... quick... retreat..." But the next moment, Beidou felt a warm embrace. Her body felt light and airy. Is this... the world after death? It's not bad at all?
But then, Beidou heard many people constantly calling her name. Beidou opened her eyes and found herself being carried in a princess carry by Yuto back to the Alcor, while her brothers were desperately shouting her name nearby. Seeing their captain regain consciousness, the crew members were overjoyed.
Beidou stared blankly at the handsome face holding her, clearly still not having reacted. Yuto then said to Beidou, "As expected of Sister Beidou, I admire your courage."
He then gently placed her on the deck, turned to face the approaching sea tornado, and his originally playful expression instantly became serious as he quickly formed hand seals.
"[Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale!]"
In the stunned gazes of the Alcor's crew, a giant one-horned ice whale suddenly leaped out of the sea, directly smashing the massive sea tornado in half. The ice whale also completely shattered due to the sea tornado's power, and simultaneously, a torrential downpour and hailstones fell from the sky.
The crisis averted, the crew members who had narrowly escaped death let out enthusiastic cheers. And Beidou, looking at the back of this powerful man, couldn't help but be a little entranced.
