The livestream's fourth wide-angle camera switched on-
In the great canyon northwest of Windwail Highland, an Abyss formation activated, stirring the Archon Residue into action.
Suddenly, purple light shot into the sky.
Everyone in Mondstadt could see it.
Diluc looked up at the sky. La Signora looked up at the sky. Jean, Lisa, and the others all saw it.

Countless monsters emerged.
Swarms of Hilichurl berserkers carrying purple lightning axes, vast numbers of Slimes, and Hilichurls carrying wooden clubs, flaming clubs, and crossbows...
They were packed together. More than ten thousand such monsters had already emerged from the ten gates of the Abyss formations, and more were still coming.

"So many monsters! My god! Are there tens of thousands of them?"
"Is that in Mondstadt's territory?"

"With so many monsters... I heard Mondstadt's knights went on an expedition. There are hardly any left!"
"Then isn't Mondstadt doomed?"
"It's over, it's over. So many monsters."

[Xiao: The Abyss's karmic debt, and Archon Residue.]
[Yanfei: What is everyone in
