With the Railgun now empowered by Keqing's Electro Vision, it carried overwhelming lightning force, tearing through the darkness from the Jade Chamber and surging straight toward the Demon God Osial.
Because Osial's body was simply too enormous, and because it hadn't taken the attack seriously at first, the enhanced Railgun struck it directly in the head.
Crackle!
Crackle!
Violent arcs of lightning erupted instantly.
And since Osial's true form was composed of water element, the lightning spread through it with terrifying efficiency.
In no time at all, the electricity coursed throughout its entire body.
The Demon God was forcibly treated to a full round of high-voltage "electrotherapy."
"Damn it! Who dares attack a mighty Demon God?!"
After suppressing the lightning raging within its body, Osial was filled with fury.
Although the attack didn't deal fatal damage, it was a direct provocation.
Worse still, it had struck its head.
A move that wasn't just painful—but deeply humiliating.
And if it were forced to endure this kind of attack repeatedly, even Osial would find it troublesome.
As a Demon God, especially one that had just broken free from its seal— there was no way Osial would tolerate this.
Following the trajectory of the earlier attack, it finally locked onto the culprit.
"So it's you!"
Staring at the Jade Chamber suspended in the sky, a vicious glint flashed in Osial's eyes.
It had assumed it was just some insignificant object, not worth its attention.
Never did it imagine that it would dare attack a Demon God.
"In that case… before Morax shows himself, I'll use you as a warm-up!"
With that, Osial changed course, charging straight toward the Jade Chamber.
"It worked!"
Seeing this, Keqing wiped the sweat from her brow and let out a sigh of relief.
Even if Osial was coming for them, that was far better than letting it head toward Liyue.
"Lady Keqing, keep going! I'll help restrain it!"
Ganyu stepped forward at that moment.
She had watched long enough—it was time to act.
With a flick of the card in her hand, a suit of steel armor once again enveloped her body.
"Understood!"
Keqing nodded.
After coordinating, Ganyu shot forward toward the Demon God.
"Let's test the power of this Iron Armor!"
She aimed her palm at Osial—
An energy cannon formed instantly and blasted straight toward it.
At the same time—
The missile launchers on her shoulders, and the miniature missiles along her arms, all fired at once.
A full-scale bombardment.
Each individual weapon might not rival the Railgun's power, but quantity had a quality of its own.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Explosions detonated across Osial's body in rapid succession, their thunderous echoes resounding across the sea.
And beyond the Iron Man armor—
Ganyu herself was an adeptus.
She possessed formidable personal combat ability as well.
One person, two sources of power.
Terrifyingly strong.
Meanwhile, from the Jade Chamber, Keqing continued firing Railgun shots at intervals—
Each one delivering another brutal round of lightning "therapy" to Osial.
With so many attacks stacked together, even a mighty Demon God like Osial was quickly battered into a miserable state.
Unable to grab them.
Unable to strike them.
Utterly infuriating.
Watching this scene, the customers inside the comic shop were dumbfounded.
Wasn't this a Demon God?
How did it end up being beaten like this?
Where was that overwhelming arrogance from before?
Because of this, their curiosity toward Keqing's and Ganyu's weapons surged.
Any weapon capable of suppressing a Demon God was unquestionably extraordinary.
"Miss Keqing's lightning is amazing… that attack was even stronger than Sister Lisa's!"
Eula exclaimed in awe.
"That move is called the Railgun. It's Misaka Mikoto's technique from A Certain Scientific Railgun."
Amber said, holding up the manga in her hand.
"But it's stronger than what's shown in the comic.
That's probably because Miss Keqing combined it with her own Electro element."
"So that's how it is!"
Eula nodded in realization.
Since it came from Boss Han's shop, it all made sense.
Unlike the two girls, Diluc was far more interested in Ganyu's Iron Man armor.
"That armor… it's incredible."
His eyes burned with fascination.
Not only was it stylish, it could fly at high speed and wield devastating weapons.
It was the first thing he'd ever seen that matched his tastes so perfectly.
No hesitation.
Mondstadt's richest man wanted it.
He'd ask Boss Han later which comic it came from.
Because something like this could only come from that shop.
"I never imagined those two ladies were this powerful—actually suppressing a Demon God!"
Noelle couldn't help but marvel at the scene.
Although Boss Han's rewards played a huge role, their own abilities were just as important.
"Boss, at this rate, Osial might be defeated before Lumine and the others even arrive."
Noelle smiled.
It seemed her worries had been unnecessary.
"Demon Gods aren't that simple."
Han Feng shook his head slightly.
If it were that easy, they wouldn't be called Demon Gods.
Especially not one empowered by a fake Peace Stone.
Right now, Osial was merely taking hits— it hadn't truly fought back yet.
"That said… Railgun Keqing and Iron Man Ganyu really do have their own charm."
Watching the two girls on the screen, a smile crept onto Han Feng's lips.
Ningguang shared the same thoughts.
Although Keqing and Ganyu appeared dominant, Ningguang knew this was already their limit.
Osial, on the other hand, had yet to unleash its true power.
Turning to the Adepti who were watching, Ningguang spoke firmly:
"Esteemed Adepti, Lady Keqing and the others are only restraining the Demon God for now.
We must seize this chance to destroy it.
If we let it recover, it will be far harder to deal with."
"You're right."
Cloud Retainer coughed lightly.
She, too, had been stunned by the girls' attacks and momentarily forgot herself.
The other Adepti were the same.
Being reminded, they all felt a bit embarrassed.
"However, the Guizhong Ballista is damaged.
Do any of the Adepti have another solution?"
Ningguang asked.
Without the Ballista's immense power, they alone couldn't truly contend with a Demon God.
"Though the Guizhong Ballista is damaged, with me here, there's nothing to fear!"
Cloud Retainer declared confidently.
Her mastery of mechanical arts had once been praised by the Geo Archon himself.
Repairing it was no problem at all.
Before long, the Ballista was restored.
"No time to waste—this is the decisive moment!"
Ningguang activated it at once.
The Adepti followed suit, pouring their adeptal energy into the mechanism.
They prepared to deliver the final blow to the Demon God.
And just then—
Something changed.
Osial began to fight back.
