The Overlord of Teyvat: Genshin Impact x Overlord crossover

Part 12

It was midday in Liyue Harbor, and the city was alive with the usual hustle and bustle. Merchants called out their wares, fishermen hauled in their catches, and the sound of ships docking and departing filled the air. The scent of freshly cooked street food wafted through the market, mingling with the salty breeze from the sea. Everything seemed ordinary, just another day in the thriving port city.

But then, without warning, a cool, strong wind surged through the harbor, its intensity far beyond the usual sea breeze. The sudden gusts caught everyone off guard, sending hats flying and market stalls shaking. Banners flapped violently, and loose items were tossed into the air as the wind roared through the streets.

Citizens, initially confused, quickly realized that this was no ordinary weather. Panic set in as the wind grew stronger, pushing people off balance and causing crates and barrels to topple. Traders scrambled to secure their goods, while others sought shelter from the gale, rushing into nearby shops and alleys.

"What's happening?" a merchant shouted, struggling to keep his stall from collapsing under the force of the wind.

"It's too strong! Everyone, take cover!" another voice called out, echoing the rising fear.

Children cried as they clung to their parents, who were doing their best to shield them from the debris flying through the air. The once vibrant and lively harbor had descended into chaos, the usual sounds of commerce replaced by the howling wind and the shouts of frightened citizens.

In the midst of the turmoil, Momon, Aether, and Paimon found themselves near the docks, watching as the peaceful day turned into a scene of disorder. Paimon struggled to keep herself steady in the air, her small wings fluttering desperately against the powerful gusts.

"This wind... it's not natural!" Paimon exclaimed, her voice barely audible over the noise.

Aether shielded his eyes from the dust and debris being kicked up, scanning the area for the source of the disturbance. "Something's causing this," he said, his tone urgent. "We need to find out what's going on."

Momon's eyes narrowed as he surveyed the scene, his senses on high alert. "This is more than just a strong breeze," he muttered, the cool wind whipping at his cloak. "It feels like... a warning."

From the towering cliffs surrounding Liyue Harbor, an ominous sight began to unfold. Strange, ethereal creatures materialized, their forms shimmering in the sunlight as they emerged from the mist-covered peaks. Some were massive beasts, their bodies resembling mythical animals with glowing eyes and powerful limbs, while others were spectral beings that floated effortlessly through the air, leaving trails of luminescent light in their wake.

The citizens of Liyue Harbor, already reeling from the sudden winds, now faced an even greater terror. As the creatures descended from the cliffs, panic rippled through the city. The marketplace, once bustling with life, fell silent as people stared in horror at the approaching army.

High above the city, several of the creatures took to the skies, their wings beating with an eerie grace as they flew in formation. They were led by majestic, otherworldly beings—members of the Adepti—who exuded an aura of ancient power. Their eyes, filled with the resolve of millennia, scanned the city below, their expressions stern and unyielding.

The ground trembled as the land-based creatures advanced, their footsteps echoing through the streets. These were the subordinates of the Adepti, loyal and fierce, bound to carry out their masters' will. They moved with purpose, their presence a clear declaration: Liyue was no longer safe, and the Adepti had come to claim what they believed was rightfully theirs.

Among the Adepti leading the charge was Tang Zhi, the lion-like Adeptus, his golden mane glowing with a fierce light. Beside him walked Feng, the werewolf Adeptus, his sharp claws gleaming as he prepared for the battle ahead. Above them, Cloud Retainer soared gracefully, her feathers glinting in the sunlight, while Gu Yang, the monkey Adeptus, leaped from rooftop to rooftop, surveying the city with sharp eyes.
