The Overlord of Teyvat: Genshin Impact x Overlord crossover

Part 32

The skies above Watatsumi Island were heavy with an unnatural tension, the air thick with the residual energy of the cataclysmic clash that had just unfolded. The once serene horizon was now marred by the lingering aftermath of two godlike beings descending into the depths, their power so immense that it had caused the very earth to tremble and crack. The waterfall that cascaded into the abyss leading to Enkanomiya roared louder than ever, as if mourning the disturbance of its ancient sanctity. The ground, though now still, bore the scars of the violent quakes that had shaken the island to its core. The citizens of Watatsumi huddled together, their faces pale with fear, their whispers filled with dread and uncertainty. The world they knew seemed to be unraveling before their eyes.

Sangonomiya Kokomi, the Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island, stood at the edge of the cliff overlooking the waterfall. Her usually calm and composed demeanor was fractured, her hands trembling as she clutched her ceremonial staff. Her mind raced, trying to make sense of the chaos that had erupted. The sight of the two beings—entities of unimaginable power—descending into the depths of Enkanomiya had left her shaken to her core. She could still feel the echoes of their clash reverberating through the air, a reminder that the fragile balance of their world had been shattered.

"Your Excellency!" a familiar voice called out, breaking through her thoughts. Kokomi turned to see General Gorou of the Watatsumi Army approaching, his usual steadfast expression now etched with concern. His armor was scuffed, and his fur was matted with sweat and dirt, evidence of the battles he had fought on Yashiori Island. Yet, despite his weariness, his presence was a comforting sight amidst the chaos.

"Gorou!" Kokomi exclaimed, her voice a mixture of relief and urgency. "It's good to see you at such a moment. I was worried about you and the others."

Gorou bowed his head respectfully, his ears twitching slightly as he straightened. "We had to retreat from Yashiori Island, Your Excellency. The battle there was nothing compared to the madness that erupted when those two... beings appeared. The skies split, the ground shook, and even our enemies fled in terror. It was as if the world itself was tearing apart."

Kokomi's eyes darkened as she nodded, her gaze drifting back to the waterfall. "The mortal wars we fight are but a fleeting distraction to beings like them. What we witnessed... it was the Raiden Shogun, locked in combat with something—or someone—else. And... I believe the other was the reanimated corpse of Lord Orobashi."

Gorou's eyes widened in disbelief, his tail stiffening. "Lord Orobashi? But how could that be? He was slain centuries ago. His remains are enshrined on Yashiori Island. How could he possibly return?"

Kokomi sighed, her grip tightening on her staff. "I don't have the answers, Gorou. This is a battle of gods, and their rules are beyond our understanding. What I do know is that their clash has awakened something ancient, something that should have remained buried. The tremors we felt... they weren't just from their fight. Something is stirring in the depths of Enkanomiya."

Gorou's expression hardened, his loyalty and determination shining through. "Whatever it is, we'll face it together, Your Excellency. Watatsumi Island has endured countless trials, and we'll endure this one as well."

Kokomi offered him a small, grateful smile, though it didn't reach her eyes. "Thank you, Gorou. Your courage gives me strength. But we must prepare for the worst. The balance of power has shifted, and I fear that what we've seen so far is only the beginning."

As if to underscore her words, the ground beneath them began to tremble once more, a low, ominous rumble that grew in intensity. Kokomi's eyes darted to the ocean surrounding Watatsumi Island, her heart sinking as she saw the once calm waters churning violently. The waves rose and fell like the breaths of a colossal beast, and the surface of the water began to bubble and froth as if it were boiling.
