The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Below the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, in a secluded sea of ​​unknown depth, stands a jade scepter, its height and length unknown.

Within the jade tablet, five great beasts lay with their eyes closed in rest—the Vortex Demon God Oser, one of the former defeated enemies of the Rock God, now could only eke out a living beneath the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.

Everything inside the jade scepter is monotonous; there is nothing there, and nothing will happen.

Osel has endured this desolate life for thousands of years, and will likely continue to do so for thousands more.

However, now, the monotonous prison life seems to have taken a turn for the better.

Oser opened his eyes, which were as big as houses, and stood up, his body hundreds of meters long. He looked curiously at the creature in front of him, a person who had just run back from the edge of the world.

Chapter 68 Big Sea Snake

2023-08-28

"What a huge octopus!" Yu Jin exclaimed sincerely, looking at the scene before him.

This was his first time diving into the ocean, and he never expected to see such a large creature. He wasn't actually sure if Osel was an octopus ember. He simply made that conclusion based on the sight of Osel's several tentacle-like heads.

"Who are you calling an octopus!" Oser immediately bristled, though he didn't have any fur. Instead, his body began to emit a dazzling blue light.

Blue light illuminated the entire deep sea, and Oser's body was fully revealed before Ember's eyes.

Oser has five heads, and his long, powerful, serpentine body is hundreds of meters long. Pure blue flows over his body, making him seem like an elemental being.

However, in the lower part of the fifth section, the blue fades, revealing Oser's deep blue skin, and the five slender heads eventually converge together, forming Oser's dragon-like hindquarters.

Ember stared wide-eyed at Oser. It was huge! Including its hindquarters, it must be at least a kilometer long.

“I misspoke. You should be a giant sea serpent.” Ember looked at Oser and changed his race.

"You defeated Morax?" Oser asked, looking at the embers before him with surprise and uncertainty.

The man before him exuded no aura whatsoever, appearing just like an ordinary person. Yet, the more he acted this way, the more cautious Oser became.

Anything capable of penetrating Morax's seal is no ordinary creature!

"The Geo Archon of Liyue? I've never even seen him before." Yu Jin scratched his head; he seemed to recall seeing his name in a book.

"Hmm?" One of Oser's heads lowered down, his snake head, which was tens of meters long, was only a few meters away from the embers.

"What are you doing?" Ember was pushed far back by the current stirred up by Oser, but he quickly swam back.

"If you're big, don't move around randomly. You should tell me before you move, otherwise you might accidentally crush someone." Looking at Osel in front of him, Ember felt that he definitely had no experience interacting with other people.

"Who are you? The Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm wouldn't have elected someone like you." Osel pulled his head back in, causing the embers to tumble again.

"Um... why do you think I'm one of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World?" Ember looked at Oser and thought that the combined imagination of Oser's five heads wasn't as big as his.

Now it was Oser's turn to be unsettled. His five heads looked at each other, as if they found Ember's answer unbelievable.

“An evil god? Doesn’t seem like it. I’m not even as good as those escaped trash.” Osel thought of another possibility, but quickly dismissed it.

There are indeed many demon-god level beings in the Dark Outer Sea. They either do not want to participate in the Great Battle of Heavenly Principles, or they are born directly from the Dark Outer Sea.

In short, their strength is definitely inferior to that of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World.

If they were to cross the line, they would be slaughtered by the Seven Gods, and they would certainly not dare to swagger to the edge of the land.

"No? Are you out of your mind? You've been locked up for thousands of years and you still care about these things? You got into a fight and became a convict, and you're still thinking about fighting?"

Hearing Oser's mutterings, Yu Jin felt a surge of relief. See? This is the consequence of simply locking people up without any moral education; their first thought upon encountering someone is still to fight.

In comparison, I'm still doing quite well. A combination of ideological education and physical punishment ensures that only talented individuals emerge.

"You want me to be indifferent to these things? Easier said than done! My people are calling for me! How can I be content with that!" Oser seemed to be provoked by Ember's words and suddenly became agitated.

His five heads were shaking, and his hindquarters were trembling. He stirred up the seawater within the Jade Seal, his immense power seemingly capable of tearing everything apart.

The surging undercurrents crashed against the embers, but this time they couldn't move them an inch.

Looking at the restless Oser before him, Ember nodded to the Black Blades.

In an instant, Oser suddenly discovered that eleven extremely dangerous auras had suddenly appeared within the Jade Seal.

Eleven figures suddenly emerged from the sea, carrying daggers burning with black flames, and instantly appeared beside Osel.

Each of the ten black knives corresponds to one eyeball, and there is another one that appears at the point of connection between the demigods before and after Oser.

The black flames on her dagger burned the brightest, the enormous black flames spreading for hundreds of meters, turning large plumes of seawater into steam.

Third, the most insane and belligerent member of the Black Blade faction. She was the one who swung the blade that killed Godwin.

But it's the same now. As long as Ember nods, she will not hesitate to swing her sword and take Oser's life.

Watching their clean and efficient movements, Yu Jin nodded with admiration. Such skill was what gave them the courage to assassinate Godwin back then.

"Calm down?"

“We’ve calmed down.” Ausel nodded all five of his heads in unison. His head kept retreating because the black flames in Black Blade’s hand posed too great a threat to him.

How could it not be big? The black flames of the reclaimed Death Rune are specifically designed to kill gods; whoever it strikes dies.

"That's good." Yu Jin waved his hand, and the black blades disappeared as well.

Ausel watched helplessly as the eleven figures suddenly appeared and disappeared, without leaving a trace.

He felt a little scared.

"You say your people are calling for you?" Ember looked at Oser and asked curiously. It was truly strange; a demon god suppressed for thousands of years still had followers?

"I think... I guess so," Oser said somewhat hesitantly. He couldn't hear anything outside the seal.

That shout was just because the atmosphere was right; it wouldn't be right not to yell a couple of times.

"What do you mean by 'should have'?" Ember thought Ausel was a bit unreliable, and then she asked, "How many of your former followers can you name now?"

Ember's question completely stumped Oser. His five enormous snake heads stammered, finally managing to utter a single sentence after a long pause:

"Ba Che! She must still be my follower!"

Ausel spoke these words with unwavering conviction, unlike his previous hesitant and fragmented manner. It seemed this person named Ba Che must be very important to Ausel.

However, Ember's focus was different from others. He asked suspiciously, "So you only remember her as your follower?"

“Of course! She’s my wife, of course I remember her!” Osel said matter-of-factly.

"No wonder you're suppressed here," Yu Jin muttered, covering his face. He could only remember the name of one follower, and that was his wife's.

No one would follow a guy like that!

"Bored? Want to see something interesting?" Ember suddenly asked Oser mysteriously.

"You can let me out?" Oser was overjoyed upon hearing Ember's words. With this guy's strength, he could definitely get me out!

"What are you thinking! Your ideological reform is not up to par, so we can't let you out for now." Yu Jin looked at Ausel with disdain. With his level of ideological awareness, the first thing he would do if he were released would be cause trouble!

Therefore, we absolutely cannot let him out; we must at least wait until his violent temper subsides somewhat.

"Oh." Osel's five heads drooped, realizing he had been daydreaming. But he quickly recovered, because being able to see the outside world was already beyond his expectations.

“That’s right. But even if I can’t let you go out, I can make sure you’re never bored again,” Ember said to Osel.

Just as Oser was wondering, he saw a white shadow appear in the palm of Ember's hand. The white shadow detached from Ember's hand, gradually rose, grew larger, and finally transformed into a flowing picture a hundred meters in size.

White Shadow Temptation – By making a wish upon a weapon, a white shadow is formed in front of oneself. This combat technique can attract the attention of enemies who are not in combat and are in human form, thus luring them to attack.

This was originally a combat technique used to lure enemies, but it has taken on a new purpose after being modified by the embers.

Looking at the scene on the white shadow, Yu Jin was also somewhat unsettled and exclaimed in surprise:

"I never expected you to be like this, Osel!"

Chapter 69 Oser's Ambition

2023-08-28

"You... how dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!" Upon seeing the scene on the white screen, Oser immediately stretched out his five large heads to completely cover it up in shame and anger.

The reason was simple: the white curtain revealed Oser's deepest fantasies. It depicted Oser and his kin swimming and entwining on the high seas.

Moreover, judging from the physical characteristics of the sea creatures in the white curtain, they are most likely female. They have three, five, or even nine heads.

Does having more heads necessarily mean better looks? Ember looked at Oser's five heads that were almost tangled up and thought life was truly amazing.

He stroked his chin, looking at Oser, whose body was slightly flushed. So the Demon God had such desires; it was somewhat unexpected.

"What are you blocking? It's not like it's anything shameful." Yu Jin looked at Ausel's body wrapped around the white curtain, and it seemed that the scene inside really made him feel ashamed.

"Stop talking about that, how do I turn it off?" Oser said urgently. Ember's words were easy for him to say while standing there; let's see if he can still remain so calm when we broadcast his deepest fantasies.

“Okay.” Yu Jin looked at how Ausel was clinging tightly to the white curtain, unwilling to see anyone, and thought that what he said made sense.

Sometimes you don't even know what you like, and Ausel is clearly like that. Now that her inner desires have been exposed, it's only natural that she feels ashamed.

"I'll change it for you." Yu Jin swam to the white screen, waved his hand, and the image on the white screen changed again.

Sometimes, you have more than one fantasy in your mind.

However, after seeing the scene on the white screen this time, Oser changed his previous shame and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, this is it! No need to change it, I love watching this!" At this moment, Osel's five heads had broken free from their previous tangled state.

He stared at the image on the white screen, his pure blue eyes filled with joy and delight.

Out of curiosity, Ember also turned his gaze to the white screen. There, Oser's heroic figure swept across the battlefield was displayed.

All that could be seen was the nine heads of Oser raised high, its body emerging from the deep sea and reaching the high sky, majestic like the towering Jianmu tree.

A slight tremor in its body is enough to send giant waves crashing down; a simultaneous roar from its nine heads is enough to cause the heavens and earth to collapse.

With one roar, blood stained the ocean; with two howls, immortals fell; with three shouts, mountain dragons collapsed to the ground; with four breaths, jade unicorns wept blood.

As for the other five songs? The other five songs are psychological attacks, cursing and swearing, which doesn't seem like something a demon would do.

Ember glanced at Oser, who was displaying his might inside the white curtain, and then at Oser outside the white curtain, who was cheering and applauding.

"Where are your other four heads?" Ember asked curiously. Were they chopped off?

"If I had nine heads, would I still be stuck in this godforsaken place?" Oser said, snapping out of his daze.
