The Overlord of Teyvat: Genshin Impact x Overlord crossover

Part 9

After two long days of travel across the Guili Plains, the travelers finally reached the outskirts of Liyue Harbor. The city's grandeur, even from a distance, left Momon deeply impressed.

The towering golden structures, intricate architecture, and bustling activity of the port city stood in stark contrast to the vast and tranquil plains they had just crossed. Liyue Harbor, nestled between the mountains and the sea, was a vibrant hub of commerce and culture, its streets alive with the energy of countless merchants, travelers, and citizens.

Momon paused on a hill overlooking the city, taking in the sight. The gleaming stone pillars, adorned with intricate carvings, and the elegant bridges that arched over the waterways were unlike anything he had ever seen before. The city seemed to pulse with life, its heart beating in time with the rhythm of the waves that lapped against the harbor.

"This city... it's magnificent," Momon muttered to himself, his voice filled with a rare sense of wonder. The sheer scale and beauty of Liyue Harbor were overwhelming, even for someone as seasoned and stoic as him.

His companions, too, seemed captivated by the sight, though perhaps for different reasons. For them, Liyue was a place of opportunity, a city where fortunes could be made and lost, where secrets were traded like commodities.

As they descended towards the city gates, the air grew warmer, filled with the scents of exotic spices and the distant hum of activity. The towering Geo Archon statues, standing guard over the city, seemed to welcome them with their imposing presence, a testament to the city's deep history and strength.

As Momon, Aether, and Paimon made their way through the bustling streets of Liyue Harbor, they couldn't help but notice the wary glances they were attracting. The city guards, stationed at various points along the streets, were particularly vigilant, their eyes trained on the newcomers.

Momon, with his imposing height, drew the most attention. He towered above the crowds, his dark, heavy armor glinting under the sunlight. A hood concealed much of his head, and the mask that obscured his face only added to his enigmatic and intimidating presence. His very aura seemed to exude an otherworldly power, a palpable tension that made those around him instinctively cautious.

The guards exchanged uneasy looks as the trio passed by. They were accustomed to seeing all manner of travelers in Liyue, but there was something different about Momon. His appearance alone was enough to put them on edge, but it was the aura he emitted—a sense of restrained power, like a storm waiting to be unleashed—that truly unsettled them.

One guard, a seasoned veteran with years of experience, tightened his grip on his spear as he whispered to his companion, "Keep an eye on that one. He doesn't look like your usual adventurer."

His fellow guard nodded, his gaze never leaving Momon. "Yeah, there's something off about him. We should report this to the higher-ups, just in case."

As they continued through the city, Paimon floated closer to Aether, whispering, "Uh, Aether? I think those guards are suspicious of us. Or maybe just of Momon. He does look a bit... intimidating."

Aether glanced at Momon, who seemed completely unfazed by the attention. Despite the tension in the air, Momon walked with a calm, measured stride, his posture relaxed but alert. Aether knew that Momon's appearance was likely contributing to the guards' wariness, but there was little they could do about it.

Momon, on the other hand, was fully aware of the scrutiny but chose to ignore it. He had grown accustomed to the fearful or suspicious looks from others, understanding that his appearance often inspired such reactions. However, he wasn't here to cause trouble; he was simply a traveler in a foreign land, observing and learning as he went.
