[ Lumine's POV ]
I quickly ran to the side as I saw Dvalin's claw fall down behind me "Venti!" I shouted from afar "I'm trying!" I could hear him shout back before Dvalin roars once again and slammed another claw to the ground
I could had sworn to hear something shatter "There!" Venti's voice echoed across the place before Dvalin roared loudly in pain before falling to the ground "Quick! While we have the chance!" I shout as I reunited with Jean and Diluc to weaken Dvalin, Slashes after Slashes... should had done something by now right...?
It didn't. At least... I think it did, the Lance's that (Y/N) threw at Dvalin started glowing before it all transformed into a blue cube and disappearing into bits "Dvalin! Please snap out of it!" Venti shouts at the Dragon as it recovered
And roared once again, I saw Venti took aim once again but then...
He froze up, Dvalin froze up as well as they both looked somewhere, what was happening? "Venti?" Jean shouts as she ran up to him and grabbed his shoulder "There is no time to be spacing out right now!" Diluc soon ran to him as well to attempt to snap him back to reality, I ran to him as well "Dvalin stopped moving! What is going on?!?" I said as I ran to them
"he....he is....no..." I could hear Venti mutter some words, Soon Dvalin roared and prepared to drop it's claws at us "Watch out!" Diluc grabbed me in an instant and ran away as Jean did the same to Venti. Dvalin's claw broke the platform that we stood on previously "Dvalin! Please! Just snap out of it!" Venti has finally recovered and shouted at the Stormterror...but his voice was filled with much more worry
The crystal behind Dvalin's back started to crack as Venti continued to shoot arrows but he was caught in surprise as Dvalin raised it claw to stop the barrage of arrows before roaring and firing light blue orbs at the sky "Everyone Dodge it!" Jean shouts at us as each of us began running to another platform to avoid Dvalin's attack
"We must hurry!" It was now Venti's turn to shout "There is something bad is ha-" he was cut off as he was forced to avoid an incoming slash from Dvalin "Happening near Mondstadt!" He continued before firing another arrow at the crystal behind Dvalin's back, it wasn't enough to break it but it was enough for Dvalin to attack him with another orb
"What?!?" Jean was surprised as she regained her breath, Diluc didn't seem to say anything as his eyes showed signs of being shocked from hearing the news...
Please be safe everyone....

" Release "
Those were the words I heard before my ears go deaf on me as multiple explosions happened around (Y/N), The Hilichurl stood no chance at all, something yellow went straight to their bodies and heads and they all fell one by one, even the shields didn't help them... The Mitachurl withstood the flying yellow beams, but it was too many for them to take as they also fell to the ground, The light blue Hilichurl immediately rose it staff, making an ice wall appear but it was useless as the yellow beams broke the wall down
Soon the explosions was over. A few surviving Hilichurl Took the chance to attack (Y/N) who was standing still until...
A large Lance made out of cryo erupted from the ground, piercing a Hilichurl's chest and lifting it up from the ground, the Lance went further up the sky before exploding into a snowflake making the Hilichurl who was stabbed by the cryo Lance freeze up and pose as the snowflake stood still high in the sky, next a ball of pyro appeared next to the Lance and was thrown to a group of Hilichurl which was soon defend by a stronger looking Mitachurl, but that wasn't the end, Six Anemo-infused orbs were fired towards the direction of the stronger Mitachurl but it quickly blocked the orbs
Although it was surprised when a sudden lightning fell to it's head, it took the hit but it was still standing still until vines came out of nowhere and slithered it's way to hold the big one, I heard noises from the lake and quickly looked at it to see water rising and forming into a hydro sword and flew fast to the big Mitachurl, stabbed it from the face, The light blue Hilichurl probably saw the result of the battle as it turned back immediately... Oh no you don't!
I quickly took my hands off my ears and prepared to fire an arrow to the fleeing Hilichurl, although that apparently didn't matter as it failed to teleport away as a black orb started to pull it back, it was also pulling the dead Mitachurl into one place before it stopped and completely encased the light blue Hilichurl in its dead friends... Wasn't the dead Hilichurl supposed to disappear...?
I thought it was over already but then... a huge pillar of light hit the huge ball of Hilichurls quickly, I felt my body fly back as the pillar of light started making cracks on the ground, however (Y/N) seemed unaffected by everything as he kept on standing still, but then...
I saw beneath him.... Blood...?
The light disappeared and I saw the ball was lifted up to the ground, but then one by one the ball was quickly engulfed in pyro, frozen in cryo, drowned in hydro, shocked by electro, wrapped by the vines, slashed by blades made of Anemo, became dark before exploding, the area around the ball was affected by the different elements that the ball was hit by...
Soon enough the ball of dead Hilichurl started to disappear into the light... (Y/N) started to move again as his hand slowly loosened the grip of his flag but...
His flag... was engulfed by a bright light before breaking into two poles, The cubes behind him shattered one by one...and that's when he turned around to face is... The whole city... His mouth was filled with blood as it stopped down to the ground.he stood the and smiled at us as... As he slowly walked over the broken pieces of the cubes before closing his eyes and falling to the ground, a puddle of blood started to grow large "(Y-Y/N)!" I blurted out, I didn't know what to do, the amount of blood was...
"S-somebody call a medic!" One of the guards shouted as he went to (Y/N) to turn him over, almost every guard rushed in and lifted him up to drag him to somewhere, I... He... he's....
Why...? J-just why...?

[ No one's POV ]
Slash after slash, arrows after arrows, yet Dvalin did not fall "How long do we have to keep this up...?" Diluc said in exhaustion while glaring at the Stormterror
It didn't do anything but stare at Venti before making a soft roar and lowering it's head "He's calling it off for now! Quickly!" Venti said as his harp materialized behind his back and started to climb up Dvalin, the three were hesitant at first before Lumine quickly followed up as well as Diluc and Jean
As soon as Jean sat properly behind the Stormterror's back, it quickly broke through the barrier and flew directly to Mondstadt, the four of them had to hold on as Dvalin flew fast towards the city "What is going on....what is that?!?" Jean points at a Hilichurl that was stabbed in a Snowflake
As soon as Lumine saw the bridge, She jumped off Dvalin, quickly slowing her fall with the glider. she was shocked, many broken pieces scattered across the bridge, weird yellow boxes were on the floor but her eyes focused on one thing and made her fear what might had happen...
(Y/N)'s flag. It laid on the ground among the other rubble, broken into two pieces and the orb she knew that held it together was missing. She went to grab the two pieces "Hey don't touch- Ah! Miss Lumine!" A guard quickly walks to her "Miss Lisa was looking for you back in the headquarters along with...Ah! Jean-sama"
Just at the right moment, Jean ran to the two of them alongside Venti who had been scowling the entire time "What happened here?!" Jean shouted which caused the guard to flinch "W-well ma'am y-you see...!"
"(Y/N) protected the whole city by himself, but it also resulted to him almost sacrificing his whole life"
They all quickly turned around to see Lisa who was looking at them with a frown "Then what is all of this rubbles? This tall... Cryo tower... Is it all his doing?" Jean asked the librarian who nodded to her question
"What about the guards that he trained?" Diluc joined in the conversation with an eyebrow raised "...I don't know either, he just told them to retreat... Probably from the amount of Hilichurls" Lisa sadly said as she looked at the frozen tower before touching it, causing it to crack a little and break into dust "where is he?" Venti bluntly asked "Resting at the cathedral, why do you ask?"
Venti ignored Lisa's question as Venti immediately walked away from them and headed straight to the cathedral "what is up with him?" Lisa looked at the boy walking away "Ah... There is also another important thing I need to inform you, Jean" She immediately looked at Lisa "There's more?"
"...Inazuma is making its move to get (Y/N) on their side"
Jean didn't know what to say "Inazuma? But why?" Diluc took over for her, clearly interested in the conversation now "I assume it's the display of power that (Y/N) did, it didn't even take a day for the events that happened here spread after all" Lisa points at a crater "Plus that crater over there"
The three of them was forced to look at the crater "What about it, if it's okay to ask?" Lumine says as she tilt her head
"I don't know, but you might want to fill that up, ah and Lumine, Paimon is waiting for you in the headquarters"

It's black everywhere....
Did I forget to pay for the electricity bills again?
Sigh
This always happens... Flashlight
...
...
Flashlight
....
....
Flashlight !
...
...
The hell? Why won't it work? Did I run out of Mana?
...
Ran out of Mana...?
...
Ah... I remember now...
Invasion.... Hilichurls? Did I get them all? "...is fine..." A mysterious voice echoed in the darkness "Is fine what?" I asked the void "Oh! Is my taxes fine?!? I don't have to pay anymore?!?"
"...health.....okay"
...ah fuck I didn't pay for health insurance?
How does that work anyways? "HEEEEEY! VOICE IN THE DARKNESS OR WHATEVER! WHAT YOU MEAN BY HEALTH OK?!" I shout to the void, hoping to get a clear answer from the void "IF YOU DON'T ANSWER ME I SWEAR TO MYSELF I WILL COMMIT ARSON WITH KLEE!"
"...hey?....what are you..."
Wow! What a dumbass this voice is to not identify who I am! "I AM THE MOST SWAGGIEST OF THEM ALL! SWAGMASTER6969696969- actually never mind, (Y/N)! Professional harem Lord!" Ahahaha yeah, that will do! What do you have to say about that?! Voice in the darkness who is probably single!
Slap
Ow?!? What the fuck man?!? Did I snap back to reality or something??!?
...
Ah... Dragon man?... Why you mad...?
"To think you would come back here, what do you want from us, Gaia?!?"
"First off, never call me Gaia, that's disrespectful to the god I just made friends with back then, Second of all, you slapped me, which I don't appreciate" I said trying to move my body properly as Dragon man grabbed me by the shirt "You think we would just let you be here after what you have done?!?!"
"I protected this city... Ow.. stop shaking me too much I can't move my body" the hell is this guy saying anyways? Since when did I became a god? And especially Gaia! The hell she was a goddess! Not a god!
... Now that I think about it...
[ Somehow, a magical flashback ]
"Oooi! Gaia-san! Bought you some Chicken nuggets"
"Ah, my (Y/N) has arrived, it pleases me so much that you care for a goddess like me, do you perhaps want a reward~?"
"Please let me murder 25 highland dragons and get their materials!"
"...sigh.... I'll summon them after I finish"
"Hai hai!"
[ And then, a magical snap back to reality ]
...
Ah, Gaia was really a chicken nugget lover huh?
... I don't remember merging with her spirit though...
"You... When we needed you the most you..." He slowly starts to sob as he speaks "you left us...all alone..." Now now, that sounds like one off those anime cliches I read in the manga and I kid you not, we will get arrested if you dare continue
I left them? What did that mean? I don't even remember leaving anything alone... Most of the stuff I leave alone are monsters bleeding to death and...
...and...
...
...
I... Better not remember that... "I did not leave anything, so stop shaking me!" I said as I weakly grabbed his arms to try and remove them from me, but then all's of the sudden he pulled me towards his face "You left us to die, Gaia! Didn't you understand?!?"
"Yes I don't understand what the fuck you trying to tell me cause I'm not ga-motherfukin-ia!" I shout back at him as I tried my best to remove his hands from me but it's still the same result, failure
Damn ain't this a bitch?
"I see you are hurting my child " ah I recognize this voice....
"Fuck off Gaia, you can't adopt me!"
"Fufufu, unfortunately you can't stop me " ah this motherfucker, hear me out! I won't let you adopt me you lewd bastard!
"I can read your mind you know~ "
Privacy! I tell you this woman is dangerous! All of her vibes is just no! I tell! No!
GAHHHH! FUXKING HELL IT HURTS!
"Y-you...!"
"Hello Venti... Or shall I refer to you as Barbatos? " Venti dropped me into the ground, causing me more back pain. I want to scream in pain right now but I can't because I'm in pain
Just put something like, that overused scream that people use in movies and shit to avoid this awkward silence
Here let me just narrate what happens instead
" I believe that you wanted something from me, right? Although I would had appreciated if you didn't hurt my child " Gaia's voice echoed the entire room "W-why are you...?" Venti's voice was filled with confusion, guys I would appreciate if you can have me sit up so I can also narrate what faces you make
" Please stay silent (Y/N), let your mother do the talking "
Screw you, I'm not your son!
" Now then " Gaia said as I could hear footsteps slowly walking... Probably towards to Venti? Ugh I can't think straight... This fucking pain...
...
"Nice ass, (Y/N)~ "
Fuck off you horny goddess
" Such a rude thing to tell to your mother " She laughs before kneeling to me "leave us be for a moment, Barbatos, and then I shall talk to you"
A moment of silence before I could hear some mutters from Venti and.... I couldn't hear his voice anymore... "You know... There was this one child who formed a contract with a little bunny as an experiment " ... I recognize this story...
" The child wanted to prove his powers, so he decided that a rabbit wasn't enough " I could see her legs right now " So the child went to form a contract with the lake serpent, the strongest guardian of the Wisdom lake" yeah yeah I know this joke already...
"But then the serpent denied it's contract, forcing the orb of enslavement to be fired to somewhere "
Are you here just to bully me of my past? You sadistic b-
"Saddened by the factthat the contract failed, he chose to summon instead... However, the orb flew farther and farther " hold on a second that wasn't in that story...
" It flew and flew until it hit a girl, an innocent and frail girl " no no no, look woman, if you want a fanfic you could had just written it yourself, no need to make me listen "but the girl, was a goddess, who came to the outside world to experience the beauty of her creation"
I slowly felt my body being lift up and was leaned on a wall, just to face her
Although she looked like the same I saw her last time I found something shining in her neck... Is... Is that a slave mark?!!
"Isn't it so nice to see the goddess of life, Gaia, as your slave, my dear master~? Now do you have any wish that you would want me to fulfill? "
Please break your contract with me
"Eeeh~ but that is no fun~ " she says as she pouts and leans to a wall, at least heal me woman, because I'M FUCKIN DYIIIIIIIIIIIII-
"Hai hai~ give me a second master~! " She says as she slowly walks to me and kisses one of her finger "Pain pain go away~! " My whistle, where is it?!? WHERE IS IT?!?!!
Slowly she taps the finger on my cheek "There we go~ although I sadly cannot return your Mana which means that you will have to find a way to live in this world buuuuut~"
I felt my body move once again, hallelujah! You can stop the scream sound effect now!
"If you want... You can use me as you desire~ "
....
Yeah like hell I'll do just that
" Oh~? Then what do you want me to do for you, master~? "
Please go get some mental help for yourself
