Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Ye Lan gently put down her teacup and cast her gaze towards the gradually darkening sky in the distance: "My lady chose to use the might of thunder to intimidate all around. Perhaps it is because she knows better than anyone that in this land, weakness will only lead to more war and suffering."

Kailin nodded thoughtfully and was about to say something else.

boom--

Suddenly, an earth-shaking explosion broke the tranquility.

Everyone looked up as the entire Linglang City sky was suddenly obscured by pitch-black thunderclouds. Instantly, a fierce wind blew up, causing the flags on the city walls to flutter. A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

"Why is it so dark? Is it going to rain?" Karen asked thoughtfully, looking up at the sky.

But Ye Lan didn't think so. Seeing the sky suddenly change color, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart.

Just as she was lost in thought, the howling of beasts suddenly came from the distant jungle...

Report!

At the West Gate training camp, the sky was equally pitch black. Just as Hualong and Zhao Heng were puzzled by this, a scout stumbled into the training grounds. "Oh no, Lord Hualong! A large number of mutated monsters have been spotted outside the gates, approaching at breakneck speed!"

Hualong paused the spear in his hand and asked seriously, "How many?"

"At least thousands, and there are also quite a few barbarians. It seems like they are coming out in full force. Now, Lord Shan Ting is on guard on the city wall!" The scout's voice trembled a little.

At the same time, Zi Xuan, who was standing on the north gate wall, suddenly pressed her chest, her face pale. "Senior Gui Zhong, do you feel that?"

Gui Zhong tiptoed lightly, looking at the herd of beasts that suddenly surged in the distance: "Hmm, there's an unusual flow of elements in the air. Do you have any clues, General Dongfang?"

Dongfang Lei shook his head: "I don't know. This is the first time I've seen such a situation."

At the east gate, lightning suddenly struck, causing Mo Yan to stagger and almost fall, but Zhongli held him firmly.

At this moment, he stood there, looking at the city wall and the shattered tiles at his feet: "What happened? A natural disaster?"

Zhongli raised his eyes to the sky, his gilded pupils reflecting the thunderclouds rolling high in the sky. "No, something more dangerous than a natural disaster is coming."

"Everyone, be on full alert. Don't let any monsters enter the city!"

"Yes!"

Keqing walked among the crowd, issuing orders non-stop. The soldiers shouted in unison, their swords drawn, as they watched the horde of monsters suddenly pouring in from outside the city.

Following the order from the barbarian warriors in each monster group, countless mutated monsters let out earth-shaking roars and rushed towards the four gates of Linglang City like a tide!

At the South Gate, Perissa's little hands suddenly clenched, and the purple mist condensed into a purple sickle in her hands, but she just stood on the city wall and did not take action.

At the west gate, Minghuang stood on the city wall and ran into Hualong and Zhao Heng, who had just arrived. However, he did not immediately greet them. Instead, he held Baiting in his hand and continuously bombarded the monsters approaching the city wall.

At the north gate, facing the oncoming tide of demons, Guizhong quickly unleashed his Earthly Chains, weaving them into a web above the city walls to restrain the demons. Meanwhile, Zixuan, holding a staff and harnessing the power of the Flame King's Voucher, rained down fire, incinerating the bound demons.

At the east gate, the fighting was particularly brutal. The once-sturdy defenses were quickly overwhelmed by the thunderbolts. Zhongli placed a single hand on the city wall, and the thick rock element instantly erected a towering barrier. However, even this couldn't completely withstand the raging thunderbolt.

"Something's wrong, there seems to be something in the clouds!"

Keqing looked up at the sky and could faintly hear a long, intermittent moan from the clouds. The sound was like deep thunder, or the breathing of some enormous creature, and each echo caused bricks and stones on the city wall to fall.

boom!

A dark bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, tearing the entire sky apart.

Fierce fighting broke out at the four gates of Linglang City at the same time, and in the midst of this chaos, a long, earth-shaking roar came from deep in the clouds.

Boo!

In an instant, a strong wind blew up, thunderclouds surged, and a thunderbird that covered the sky broke through the clouds and swooped down from the sky above the east gate!

When its wings spread, they almost covered the entire sky. Every feather was wrapped with destructive dark red arcs of electricity. Wherever it passed, the air was ionized into dazzling lightning.

"What kind of monster is this?" Mo Yan's pupils widened in shock.

"I don't know, this is my first time seeing it too!" Keqing said loudly.

Everyone looked up at the sky at the same time. At this moment, a figure appeared faintly on the back of the thunderbird, and that person was It.

"Hahahaha! Morax, we meet again!" He stood on the back of the thunderbird, looking down at everyone and laughing.

"It's you." Zhongli's eyes focused, and the rock elements condensed into a dazzling golden barrier around him.

"Yite, it's you again!" Mo Yan shouted.

"Yes, it's me, but so what?" He lowered his head and folded his hands and smiled.

"It seems that this thunderbird is your new masterpiece?" Zhongli said seriously.

It opened his arms and laughed wildly in response: "That's right! This is the gift our Fallen Angel Troupe presents to Ling Lu, the Thunderbird Animage. Compared to the sea monster you suppressed before, it is the most perfect experimental subject!"

"Hmph, it just looks a little bigger, what's there to brag about?" Keqing said with her arms folded.

"Really? Then let me show you its terrifying power."

As he spoke, It snapped his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, the thunderbird roared again.

Boo!

The thunderbird's shriek became a physical sound wave, shattering the entire stone bricks of the East Gate wall in an instant. The soldiers covered their ears in pain, blood seeping from between their fingers.

It stood on the back of the Thunderbird, his robes rustling in the strong wind. He spread his arms, his eyes gleaming with madness. "See? This is Animage! Power equal to or even surpassing that of the Calamity!"

Zhongli frowned, and instantly grasped a rainbow spear: "Mo Yan, step back!"

"But……"

"This is not an opponent you can handle." Zhongli's voice was undeniable. He took a step forward, and a ridge of rock rose from the ground, levitating him high into the air, where he faced the Thunderbird.

At the same time, the battle situation in the other three gates was also deteriorating rapidly.

Under the crazy attack of the monsters, Linglang Siji, Hualong, Perissa and others all joined the battle. Although they repelled the monsters for a while, the monsters still continued to pour out endlessly, as if they were deliberately consuming their physical strength.

suddenly.

boom!

"Oh no, it's in the direction of the east gate!"

Almost simultaneously, everyone looked toward the sky above the East Gate. They saw a pitch-black pillar of lightning shooting up into the sky, ripping it in two. The Thunderbird Animage's body swelled in the lightning, its purplish-black feathers gradually stained scarlet. Its wings, spread out, nearly obscured a quarter of the city.

"What kind of monster is that?" Kailin asked with horror in her eyes.

"No, we have to get there as soon as possible." Ye Lan gritted her teeth, then turned back to look at Perissa, "Sorry, senior, I'll leave this place to you for now!"
