The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Continue along the Tiger Rock Street until you reach the Liyue Harbor docks. Timber and anchors are piled up here, and the shouts of dockworkers can be heard everywhere.

This is where countless ships from various countries gather, where they will be resupplying and undergoing maintenance.

On the shore at the edge of the dock, Ember stretched out his foot and touched the deep water. Although he had swum directly from Mondstadt to Inazuma before, he was still a little afraid of water.

After all, immortals are easily soluble in water.

Of course, it's just a little bit of fear. About the same as his fear of dogs.

After testing the waters for a while, Ember took a few deep breaths, then leaped into the calm water.

"Pfft!"

The water splashed up with tremendous noise and no aesthetic appeal, attracting the attention of workers in the distance.

"What a big splash! Go check if someone has fallen into the water!" A worker put down the wooden box he was carrying and went to investigate.

"Hey, use your brain, will you? That's a huge splash! Could a person jump out of that water? It must be some big fish! I think you're just being lazy!"

The coworker next to him rolled his eyes at his colleague. If someone could actually jump out and create such a big splash, they would be a "genius".

"Yes...yes, it was my oversight. Let's get back to work!" The worker glanced at the huge splash of water on the deck in the distance and realized what had happened.

Such a large splash of water could not possibly be produced by a human; his worries were somewhat unnecessary.

So, while marveling at the abundance of the Liyue Sea, he wondered if he should go fishing there after work.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the "genius" Yu Jin, as the dockworkers called him, was speeding forward underwater in the dim light.

Snow-white bubbles surged around Ember's body, and the driving force propelling him forward was his arm, which was almost just a blur.

Although the seabed was dark, the direction of the embers was clear—because Zhongli's seal was too conspicuous.

Whether from the perspective of atmosphere or visual effect.

Soon, a patch of orange-yellow appeared in the previously dark seabed. Then, this light grew brighter and brighter until a huge wall of light, shimmering with runes, appeared before Ember's eyes.

These barriers, with the towering stone pillars extending deep into the seabed as their base, completely enclose this entire seabed, resembling a small space.

This is Morax's masterpiece from the War of the Demons, a barrier that has stood for thousands of years.

Ember hovered in the sea, looking at the barrier before him, pondering how to get through it.

Last time, he leaped out of the abyss by tearing through space. This time, however, he will face the seal head-on.

Yu Jin felt that this time the commotion should be kept to a minimum, at least not to tear apart space or directly shatter the seal.

Therefore, Ember lowered his center of gravity slightly, and his whole posture was like a higher slide tackle.

The next moment, his figure suddenly turned into a cloud of dust and disappeared into the seabed, as if Yu Jin had never come into this world.

Hound Stance – A combat technique that allows the user to vanish instantly by stepping. It offers high speed and long distance movement. When used while locked onto a target, it allows movement around that target.

As the dust settled, the embers reappeared on the seabed. However, this time, they were inside the seal.

The Hound Walk is essentially an instantaneous, short-distance spatial teleportation with almost no wind-up or wind-up.

Ember loves to use it to bathe in the enemy's relentless bombardment. It's usually accompanied by two cross-shaped weapons.

This fighting method is incredibly mindless: endless hound footwork, then time your attack perfectly to poke the enemy in the rear. No one in the entire border region can withstand this.

Ember looked at the empty sea and felt a pang of emotion. The first time he came, it was quite crowded here, with Oser's five heads and body huddled inside the seal.

But now everything has changed, and now Oser's snake shadow can't be seen at all.

However, you can still hear the sound.

"Ah~, Lord Oser, your power is comparable to the laws of heaven. I, Morax, am willing to submit to you."

"Hahaha! Alright, alright, I, Oser, am kind-hearted, so I'll reluctantly accept you as my underling!"

A familiar voice came from afar; it was Zhongli and Ausel's voice. But why did Zhongli's voice sound so strange?

Ember swam towards the sound and saw Oser, who had transformed into a sea serpent, standing on a reef on the seabed, laughing loudly.

Beneath him stood Zhongli, a silhouette against the black and white backdrop. This Zhongli was quite different from the one Yu Jin had seen; he wore a long robe, had a shawl, and looked sharp and ruthless.

However, his face was expressionless; he simply knelt mechanically before Osel, reciting Osel's words in a rigid and deliberate manner.

"Heh ho, I didn't expect you to be so good at this, Oser." Yu Jin couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. So Oser got tired of watching porn and started playing role-playing games, huh?

If Zhongli saw this scene, I wonder if he would beat up Ausel.

“Ember…Ember? What are you doing here?” Upon hearing another voice, Oser first looked around warily. After realizing that the newcomer was Ember, he immediately and hurriedly canceled the phantom image of “Zhongli”.

Even though Yu Jin was somewhat of an acquaintance, he felt it was better to save face in front of acquaintances.

"Of course there's something. I've already given your things to your wife. I reckon she'll be able to grow five heads soon."

Yu Jin looked at Ausel with great interest. Ba Che already knew about Ausel watching porn, and he was very curious about how Ausel would live his life from now on.

"Grow...five heads?" Oser was stunned for a moment after hearing Ember's words, then chuckled contentedly.

"In that case, she should be able to travel freely in the outer sea of ​​darkness," Oser muttered to himself.

"Ember, thank you."

"No, why does your tone sound so strange?" Yu Jin suddenly had a bad feeling.

Just now, Ausel was still in that self-amusing and positive mood, but now he sounds older than Zhongli.

It felt like I was about to die.

Then, Ember saw that Oser had really gone to commit suicide.

"Holy crap, what are you doing?!"

"Don't do anything rash, Osel! You still have a wife, you can't die!"

Chapter 246 Psychologist Yu Jin

Chapter 246 Yu, the Psychologist, Jin

Deep in the sea near Guyun Pavilion, a truly peculiar scene is unfolding.

A six-armed iron man was locked in fierce combat with a five-headed sea serpent. As the serpent writhed, large amounts of silt splashed out, making the already dimly lit seabed even darker.

These two were naturally Ember and the suicidal Oser. As for why Ember had six arms? That's because he wanted to grab Oser's five heads and tail.

"Calm down, Oser!" Ember shouted, holding Oser's body firmly in place.

"Bang bang bang!" Oser spat out a few bubbles and banged the embers' armor with its tail.

"Don't think that keeping quiet will solve everything! Promise me you won't kill yourself." Seeing this, Yu Jin realized that Ausel's suicidal intentions remained unchanged, so he increased the intensity of his attack.

"Bang bang bang!" Oser's tail lashed out even more rapidly. Not only that, his forked tongue almost lost all strength, and his eyes began to roll back.

Upon seeing this, Yu Jin was immediately taken aback. He never expected that in such a deep sea, Oser could find enough poison to kill a demon god and use it to commit suicide. He was truly not to be underestimated.

However, this was useless against Ember. Ember's six arms bent and clenched into fists, striking Oser's pale blue belly like a sudden downpour.

Beat him! If Osel has ingested the poison, beat him until he spits it out!

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! If you keep hitting me, I'll really die." Oser curled up into a ball and immediately rolled out of Ember's attack range.

Ember stopped his personality-correcting punch. See? He cured Osel's depression in one go.

But why does that sentence sound familiar?

Just as Ember tilted his head in deep thought, Oser, who was not far away, snapped out of his reverie. Looking at the four arms that had seemingly appeared as a copy-paste behind Ember, he immediately remarked:

"Where did these four extra hands of yours grow from?"

“Here you go. If you ever want to scratch an itch, just ask them to help you.” Yu Jin crossed his arms, and his remaining four arms detached from his torso with a “pop” and stuck into the surrounding rocks like sea anemones.

Osel watched the four arms swaying with the ocean current on the reef and silently wiped his five eyes with his tail.

"Great, it's not a dream." Then Osel's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he roared:

"Get out! Take this rubbish away! I'd rather rub against a rock than use these!"

This thing was so bizarre that just looking at it gave Ausel goosebumps, let alone using it to scratch an itch.

"Tsk, I think it looks pretty good." Yu Jin muttered. Then he waved his hand, and the four "arms" turned into writhing flesh and blood.

At first, this flesh and blood seemed to be sensing its surroundings, without making any movement. But soon, it shaped and changed, becoming part of the reef.

Seeing this, Ember nodded in satisfaction. Haha, the tentacle monster might not be able to defeat Morax, but it can still fight others!

But when Ausel saw it, his heart, which had just settled down, started to pound again. Although he couldn't see anything unusual about the rocks now, he couldn't help but feel uneasy about what he had just witnessed.

"So this thing is just going to stay here anyway, right?" Oser asked wearily, looking at the embers not far away.

“Yes.” Yu Jin nodded, and continued, “As a patient with severe psychological issues, necessary monitoring is very important!”

"So, you should just obediently accept the doctor's treatment!"

Oser's lips twitched upon hearing this, but he quickly understood. He had long known that Ember was different from others, mainly because his thought process was different.

"Alright, I'm not going to kill myself." Oser glanced at the comical embers in front of him, then started watching "TV" with his dead fish eyes drooping again.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you still watching this? Don't you find it boring?" Yu Jin came over and glanced at him, only to find that Ausel was still watching porn.

But this time, Oser wasn't ashamed. He rolled over and shamelessly said, "What's wrong? It's been thousands of years, can't I have a little amusement?"

Although that's what he said, Oser's eyes remained completely unmoved.

This is actually normal, after all, the white shadow is a seductive reaction to one's inner desires. Even after Yu Jin's skillful modifications, this remains unchanged.

Having watched Osel for a long time, he almost fully understood his own desires and could guess what would happen next.

In other words, they're just tired of seeing it.

"Hey, why did you try to kill yourself just now?" Ember asked, poking Oser's smooth skin as he saw him motionless.

"Mind your own business." Oser scratched the spot where Ember had poked him with his tail; it was a little itchy.

"Then why don't you want to die now?" Yu Jin asked curiously again. Was his personality correction fist really that powerful?

That immediately put Osel's mindset on a positive note.

Ember glanced at Ausel's listless expression. Well, although he wasn't very positive, at least he wasn't thinking about suicide.

"Because you're all right!" Osel rolled his eyes, realizing he had a lot to say.
