Chapter 69 - Chapter 69 Osial's Ambition

"You... how can you accuse someone out of nowhere!" Osial saw the image on the white screen and immediately, in shame and anger, extended his five large heads to cover it completely.

There was no other reason; the white screen had revealed Osial's deepest fantasies. It showed Osial and his fellow kin swimming and intertwining in the vast ocean.

Moreover, judging by the physiques of the sea beasts on the white screen, they were mostly female. They had three, five, or even nine heads.

Is it true that the more heads, the more beautiful? Yu Jin looked at Osial's five almost-tangled heads and found life truly wondrous.

He stroked his chin, looking at Osial, whose body was slightly red. So even a God had such desires; it was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Why are you blocking it? It's not like it's something shameful?" Yu Jin watched Osial's body coil around the white screen, indicating that the images within truly embarrassed him.

"Stop talking about this, how do I turn it off?" Osial said urgently. Yu Jin was speaking from a position of ease; if his deepest fantasies were broadcast, he wouldn't be so calm.

"Alright." Yu Jin looked at Osial hugging the white screen tightly, unwilling to be seen, and thought he had a point.

Sometimes one doesn't even know what one likes, and Osial was clearly like that. Now that his inner desires were revealed, it was natural for him to feel ashamed.

"I'll change it for you." Yu Jin swam to the white screen, waved his hand, and the image on the screen changed again.

Sometimes, there's more than one inner fantasy.

However, this time, after seeing the image on the white screen, Osial's previous shame vanished, and he burst into laughter instead.

"Hahaha, that's it! Don't change it, I love this one!" Osial's five heads were no longer tangled and intertwined.

He stared at the image on the white screen, his pure blue eyes filled with delight and joy.

Out of curiosity, Yu Jin also turned his gaze to the white screen. What was displayed there was Osial's heroic 姿態 as he swept through a thousand armies.

Osial's nine heads were held high, his body emerging from the deep sea and reaching through the high heavens, majestic as a sky-reaching tree.

A slight tremor of his body would unleash colossal waves that swallowed peaks; the combined roar of his nine heads would cause the heavens to collapse and the earth to split.

One head's roar would dye the ocean crimson; two heads' howls would cause immortals to fall; three heads' might would make mountain dragons prostrate; four heads' breath would make jade qilin weep blood.

As for the other five heads? The other five heads were engaging in mental attacks, cursing and swearing in a way that didn't quite befit a God.

Yu Jin looked at Osial, who was displaying divine power within the white screen, and then at Osial outside the white screen, who was clapping his head in delight.

"Where are your other four heads?" Yu Jin asked curiously. Could they have been chopped off?

"If I had nine heads, would I still be stuck in this cursed place?" Osial snapped back to reality, saying with reluctance.

If he truly had nine heads, then it would be Morax who was imprisoned.

"Oh, right." Yu Jin nodded. If Osial truly possessed the power shown in the white screen, that would be terrifying.

He looked at Osial, who was once again engrossed, and felt a surge of relief. Now, if he could just insert some Yu Jin's Little Classroom into the white screen, he believed it wouldn't be long before Osial could be released from his sentence!

But before that, he seemed to need to discuss it with the Geo Archon. After all, this was his prisoner, and his consent was definitely needed for how to deal with him.

Looking at the unblinking Osial, Yu Jin swam to his side and said to him:

"Hey, let me tell you how to use this white screen."

"Swipe left and right to change the image." Yu Jin swiped left, and the white screen reverted to the image of Osial playing with his fellow kin.

"Got it." Osial extended one head and swiped left again. Then the image changed to him sitting in a marine palace, ruling over all people.

"This is how you close it!" Yu Jin squeezed his palm, and the white screen disappeared. Then he looked at Osial, and Osial looked back at him.

"Move? Did your brain get damaged from watching?" Yu Jin said. It should be easy to analogize that opening one's hand would open it.

"Do you see if I have hands?" Osial even turned around, and the huge Current blew Yu Jin far away again.

Yu Jin swung his arms rapidly and quickly swam back to Osial's side. He said to him: "Opening your mouth works too!"

Osial heard this, bent down, opened his large mouth, and the white screen lit up again in this deep sea.

Yu Jin nodded. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about Osial getting into trouble. He was so large, and his power was still considerable; if he went mad, it would be very troublesome.

"Are you leaving?" Osial saw Yu Jin silently retreating and said, his eyes Unyielding.

"Of course. Otherwise, should I just chat with you? I'm very busy, you know." Yu Jin nodded. In truth, he wasn't busy at all; he just found this place too monotonous.

Osial showed no other expression upon hearing this. His ten eyes closed, and a faint blue glow began to emanate from the foreheads of his five heads. Finally, these five blue lights condensed into an indigo pearl.

Then Yu Jin saw Osial's massive body rapidly shrink, eventually reducing his thousand-meter-long body to just over ten meters in length.

If he was a true Vortex God before, now he was truly just a large sea snake.

"This is the only thing on me that still has some value. Take it. If you meet Beisht in the Dark Sea later, give it to her." Osial lay sprawled on the ground, his eyes still fixed on the equally shrunken white screen.

Then he added: "If you don't want to go to the Dark Sea or if Beisht dies, then take it. Although it's not of much use to you, it's still the power of a God; it's good for collecting."

After speaking, Osial said no more.

"If you do this, what will happen when I want to release you?" Yu Jin scratched his head. Why was this person so pessimistic? Wouldn't it be better to be more positive? Maybe he really could get out?

"Heh heh, never mind. There can only be seven Gods." Osial gave a despondent, dry laugh.

To escape the battle royale set by the Heavenly Principles, there was only one path: to flee to the Dark Sea. He neither wanted to fight nor wanted to escape the land of Teyvat.

He could either abandon his physical body or abandon his intellect.

Of the three paths, Osial didn't want to choose any. The Dark Sea was filled with savage elements and taboos; only those with strong convictions and powerful abilities could find peace there.

As for himself, Osial felt that if he went in, he would be so corrupted within a few hundred years that he wouldn't be himself anymore.

If he abandoned his physical body, then he would only be able to move in specific places, and in his soul state, he would often have to fall into deep slumber.

As for abandoning his intellect, Osial didn't even consider it. Turn himself into a fool? He would never do such a thing.

In summary, he might as well stay here and watch the white screen.

"Tsk! Strange rules." Yu Jin listened to Osial's words; there could only be seven Gods? What truly strange rules.

"Bye-bye!" Yu Jin waved at Osial and said.

"Bye-bye!" Osial wagged his tail in response... Guyun Stone Forest still stood at the westernmost tip of Liyue, with the Sea of Clouds inside calm and peaceful, while the Dark Sea outside was turbulent.

Yu Jin poked his head out of the seabed, and then he saw hundreds of boats racing and thousands of sails leaping on the calm sea not far away.

So Yu Jin silently retracted his head again, because his swimming style was slightly astonishing, and for the sake of Liyue's people's hearts, it was better to be careful.

Yu Jin's gaze passed through the obstruction of the seawater and looked towards another shore of the Sea of Clouds.

That was a prosperous city, with merchants and peddlers everywhere, and the sounds of hawking and shouting filling the air.

If the underlying tone of Mondstadt was freedom, then the underlying tone of this city was prosperity.

Liyue, I'm here!
