"Detected Host's promotion of Honkai Impact 3rd's popularity has reached 10 million. Reward Host with the ability: Summon."
Hearing the system's prompt, Lu Ze's eyes widened. After all, the word "summon" was quite captivating. He quickly opened his ability panel.
The general idea was that he could summon any person he had encountered and use their abilities. The summoned people had time limits and no memories, merely displaying their abilities.
It was like a weapon for attack, and this summon ability had no limit on the number of people. This meant that as long as he could speak fast enough, he could summon a hundred people.
This ability was a bit monstrous, but it required contact. However, this small limitation was easily overcome.
"This means I can summon... Aunt Himeko? Anna? Even... Kiana?"
He could barely contain his excitement. However, he was in the shop now and had to try it outdoors. The shop in Mondstadt was quite close to the wilderness.
Quickly using the Void Anchor teleportation point, he returned to Mondstadt, ignoring Bronya's confused voice, and ran rapidly towards the wilderness.
Seeing the Slime in front of him, he lightly said,
"Himeko!"
But no one appeared. Just as he thought the system was messing with him, a golden-yellow portal suddenly appeared in the sky. Immediately after, a woman wielding a greatsword leaped out.
Her eyes were devoid of emotion, and her face was expressionless. She silently raised the greatsword in her hand and attacked the Slime.
The greatsword immediately burst into fiery red flames. With a single aerial slash, she took down three or four Slimes, without any hesitation.
Seeing the enemies disappear, she then turned into golden ash and vanished from her spot, as if she had never appeared.
Bronya, who had arrived, witnessed this entire scene. She was a bit surprised, as it had been many years since Teacher Himeko's death. How could she not be surprised to see a familiar person again?
"What was that just now?"
Lu Ze's eyes were a bit dim. He wasn't in the mood to answer Bronya's question, his heart filled with a sense of loss.
Even though the system had said there were no memories, that she was just like an attack weapon, he had still held a sliver of hope. Now, that hope was shattered.
"Speak! What was that just now?"
Bronya was also a bit anxious. She naturally wished for Teacher Himeko to be alive, but the person before her said nothing at all, not even willing to reveal a single piece of information.
"Let's go. It's useless. That was just a false person, without a soul, without words, without memories..."
Meanwhile, over the sea of Liyue, a faint rift slowly opened, revealing a hint of light. As time passed, the rift grew larger and larger, as if the thing inside was eager to emerge.
"This world... not bad. So weak? Then I shall rule it!"
The Heavenly Principles in the sky immediately noticed the situation here. But even for the Heavenly Principles, they didn't know what was happening now. After all, this had never happened before, so they didn't know what to do.
"Could this be what they call a world boss battle? No way! That powerful energy, can they contend with it? It's probably strong enough to flatten the seven nations!"
No, they had to quickly inform the shopkeeper and have him stop this world boss battle. Although those who didn't participate would not be harmed, the destruction of houses and buildings would be very real.
Due to the powerful aura, and being at sea, not far from Guyun Stone Forest, on a rocky outcrop, a talisman slowly flew away, sensing that the last shackle had been broken.
"Heh heh heh! Morax! You suppressed me for a thousand years, did you not expect me, Osial, to return once more! This time, the roar of the sea will drown the Liyue you cherish! Just as you were helpless that year, watching the beauty in your arms die!"
The story's timeline suddenly accelerated greatly. As Lumine was about to accompany Zhongli to hold the Rite of Descension, the Adepti quickly arrived at Liyue Harbor, questioning the Seven Stars' choice and even demanding the culprit be handed over.
But now, the aura of Osial's revival had alarmed them. Even Cloud Retainer, who was about to argue loudly, fell silent, staring in shock at the surging waves in the distance.
Northland Bank, the Childe looked grimly at the sea in the distance. He hadn't even completed the final steps, why had the Whirlpool Archon Osial broken free from his seal prematurely? It had disrupted his plans. Now, he had to hurry to the Mint, otherwise time would be too late.
However, someone's appearance directly blocked his path.
"Hmm? Mr. Zhongli? What are you doing here? Such a big event has happened now, why aren't you taking shelter... why are you running to me?"
Although the Childe was a bit confused, he was still in a hurry, wanting to push Zhongli aside. After all, his goal now was to get the Gnosis quickly.
"No need to look for it. In fact, I have already made a deal with your Fatui Harbinger, the Lady. And you are a key figure in this plan, but you are no longer needed. Because behind Osial, there is an even greater crisis."
The Lady, who had been hiding, also stepped out and explained. The Childe looked at them both with a bit of shock. Who were they? Treating him like a tool!
Fortunately, he hadn't done much. If he had truly gone to the Mint, he would probably have been wanted by the Seven Stars forever. That would have been troublesome.
"The immediate priority is to evacuate the people and gather all of Liyue's strength. I also want to ask the Fatui for their help. I can give you the Gnosis in advance."
Hearing that they could get the Gnosis in advance, and they were already going to dispatch a large number of soldiers to cause trouble, it was just a matter of changing their task to helping out. They could even gain favor, which was killing two birds with one stone. Neither of the two Harbingers had any objections.
"Alright, Rex Lapis. I can help you with this small favor. But I must have the Gnosis now, I don't want any accidents."
Hearing this, Zhongli opened his palm. A small, earth-yellow chess piece floated quietly in his hand. He then handed it to the Lady.
Seeing the earth-yellow chess piece and having completed the task assigned by the Tsaritsa, the Lady was very happy. She directly issued an order for all stationed Fatui soldiers to go and help.
This greatly reduced Liyue's pressure. However, this peculiar action directly attracted the attention of Ningguang in the Jade Chamber above.
