Genshin Impact: Transmigrated as Furina's Second Personality

Relying on the power of the Archon-level combat machine, Azar and the other sages were more arrogant than ever!

They resembled crazed villains who, having been pushed to their limits with nothing left to lose, decided to lay all their cards on the table.

Having reached the point of no return, they had nothing left to conceal and instead released all their malice and desire without restraint.

They were utterly unrestrained, showing contempt for the gods and treating the protesting citizens as nothing more than lowly fools.

"Nothing more than a feeble god leading a group of ignorant commoners in a pathetic protest!"

"In the face of absolute power, what use are your loud voices?!"

Faced with the opposition of countless citizens, the sages of the Akademiya did not choose to accept judgment; instead, they made the most extreme decision.

They intended to use the Archon-level combat machine to eradicate everyone opposing them, including Nahida—eliminating all resistance so that only their supporters would remain!

With an order from the Akademiya, the colossal combat machine radiated a dazzling green light!

An immense surge of Dendro energy gathered.

The machine raised its massive fist, glowing like a blazing green sun, and hurled it down toward the crowd below!

The sheer force behind this punch was enough to make anyone's scalp tingle and fill them with instinctive fear.

If this strike landed, half of Sumeru City would collapse, not to mention the countless citizens gathered in the streets.

At this moment, all eyes turned toward Nahida.

If there was anyone who could protect them from this terrifying blow, it could only be the god herself.

Nahida did not disappoint their expectations.

Under the watchful gazes of countless people, she remained composed and stepped forward, one foot at a time.

Compared to the towering combat machine that stood over a hundred meters tall, her figure appeared pitifully small.

However, despite the overwhelming difference in size, her face remained calm and unshaken.

The enormous fist, brimming with Dendro energy, crashed down upon her like an emerald sun.

"Little Lord Kusanali!"

Even Cyno couldn't help but clench his fists nervously.

Yet, just as everyone's hearts leaped to their throats, an unbelievable scene unfolded!

Boom!

A deafening sound echoed.

However, the colossal steel fist of the combat machine stopped just half a meter from Nahida's adorable round face!

The sudden halt caused the impact to explode into a massive shockwave, sending powerful gusts of wind crashing onto Nahida.

Her hair and clothes billowed wildly in the storm, yet she stood firm, unmoved by even an inch.

"Sorry, but you'll have to stay dormant for a while," Nahida said with a gentle smile, softly patting the halted fist, as if soothing an angry child.

At this moment, the entire crowd was stunned!

No one dared to mock her innocent smile, because right now, in their eyes, she radiated an overwhelming sense of calm and security.

"H-How is this possible?!"

The sages stared at Nahida with bloodshot eyes, their expressions filled with utter disbelief.

"Why did it stop?!"

"What did you do to it?!"

"If you're asking me that question," Nahida said calmly, "then as the God of Wisdom, I am happy to provide an answer."

"The Archon-level combat machine requires a Gnosis as its power source, and the Akasha System itself was built upon the power of the Dendro Gnosis."

"Now that the machine is fully constructed while the Akasha System remains operational, there's only one possibility—you integrated the entire Akasha System, along with the Dendro Gnosis, into this machine."

"By doing so, not only did you make it a vessel for the Akasha, but you also granted it immense computational power."

"In the eyes of mortals, the computational capacity of the Akasha may seem unfathomable, but to me, it is not."

"The method I used to stop it was quite simple," Nahida explained calmly. "I established a link between the Akasha and the Irminsul Tree, allowing an immense and chaotic flood of information from Irminsul to pour into the Akasha."

"As long as the volume of information overwhelms the Akasha's computational capacity, this machine will naturally be paralyzed."

Nahida's tone was serene, as if she were merely stating a fact. Yet, to Azar and the other sages, her calm demeanor was filled with nothing but mockery.

"Such... such despicable tactics!"

Azar's face contorted with rage, but Nahida only smiled softly. "Despicable? Connecting to the Irminsul Tree is one of the powers of the Dendro Archon. I'm merely utilizing my abilities."

She continued to walk toward Azar and the gathered sages. Despite her youthful appearance, the oppressive aura she exuded made Azar and the others feel an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Faced with this crushing weight, the sages, now driven to the edge of desperation, made their final, most extreme decision.

"Just an immature god!"

"Who do you think you are?!"

"Die!"

With furious roars, Azar and a few other sages drew daggers from their robes and lunged at Nahida.

However, in that instant—

A voice echoed in their consciousness—two words, resounding endlessly.

"Kneel down."

"Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down!"

"Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down!!"

"Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down!!!"

"KNEEL—DOWN!!!"

Strictly speaking, these were no longer just words; they were an overwhelming influx of intent and information, an unstoppable mental command.

The command poured into their minds like water from a burst pipe—at first, just a trickle, but soon followed by an uncontrollable flood, an overwhelming tsunami of thoughts crashing through their consciousness, exploding like the birth of a universe.

And the only thought that repeated itself, again and again, was simply—kneel down.

The sheer volume of the mental onslaught in an instant was far beyond what any ordinary human mind could endure.

"AHHHH!!!"

In mere seconds, Azar and the others clutched their heads in agony as an unbearable pain erupted within their skulls.

It felt as if a torrential flood of information was relentlessly battering their minds, tearing their brains apart, grinding their consciousness into pulp.

Clang!

The daggers they held clattered to the ground.

The relentless repetition of the command "kneel down" seeped into their will, compelling them to yield to the tiny god standing before them.

Their instincts screamed at them—only by kneeling before the god could they put an end to the torment reverberating through their minds.

This was the power of the Dendro Archon—to read hearts.

With this ability, Nahida could influence the thoughts of others, create dreams and illusions, or even, in an instant, flood their minds with overwhelming information, rendering their brains useless.

The pain, directly inflicted upon their consciousness, was beyond the capacity of any human to endure.

In just three seconds—

Azar and the sages could hold out for no longer than three seconds before succumbing to the agony akin to having their minds shattered into pieces over and over. One by one, they collapsed to their knees.

And in that moment, as they knelt before her, their pride and dignity crumbled into dust.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Nahida remained composed, gazing down at the kneeling sages in silence. She said nothing, but her quiet demeanor carried an air of supreme indifference, as if she had never even considered them worthy opponents.

"This," Nahida finally spoke, "is the power of a god. Even without the use of elemental force, I can shatter everything you rely on."

As she retracted her divine authority, the overwhelming flood of commands in Azar and the others' minds ceased.

Freed from their torment, they collapsed to the ground, unconscious, like broken puppets stripped of their strings.

On this day, as the sun rose early in the morning.

With Azar and the other sages fallen, Nahida fully took control of the Akasha's authority.

The machine lifted her high, placing her at a height equal to the sun.

Dendro energy swirled around her, forming a throne of intertwined branches.

Held aloft by the machine, under the watchful eyes of thousands of citizens, she ushered in her first coronation!

And this coronation, no one aided her—it was with her own power and wisdom that she crowned herself!

At the height of the sun, she sat upon the divine throne and solemnly proclaimed to her people:

"I am the God of Sumeru, the God of Wisdom, Buer!"

"From this day forth, I shall fully assume the governance of Sumeru!"

"Today, it is your struggle that has won a bright future for Sumeru. You will always be the heroes of Sumeru!"

"Here, I promise you that the Akasha's distribution system will be reformed. In the future, all the knowledge stored within the Akasha will be fully accessible to everyone!"

"I vow to lead Sumeru toward a bright future!"

As her words fell, a wave of cheers erupted through Sumeru City, resounding like a tidal wave.

"Long live Lesser Lord Kusanali! Long live the God of Wisdom!" The frenzied cheers echoed endlessly!

And thus, the power struggle in Sumeru concluded amidst the deafening applause.

...

A few days later.

In the days that followed, with Nahida taking residence in the Akademiya, Sumeru's chaos gradually subsided.

The transition of power was completed, and Nahida fully assumed control over Sumeru's governance.

Those who had been arrested during the turmoil were released under her orders and compensated accordingly.

The implicated Matra were also properly reassigned and received improved benefits.

It is worth mentioning that, due to the downfall of several sages during the incident, many positions within the Akademiya were left vacant.

Nahida began selecting new sages to form her own team.

Ultimately, two individuals were chosen by Nahida to become the new sages.

The first was Kaveh, the pride of Kshahrewar.

Kaveh possessed remarkable talent in architectural design. During the recent events, he and Cyno were at the forefront, guiding the people and ensuring their unity, preventing Sumeru City from descending into further chaos. His contributions were undeniable.

In the Kshahrewar School, it wasn't just about designing buildings; it also involved studying urban planning and real estate development.

As the top scholar of Kshahrewar, Kaveh's capabilities in these areas were beyond doubt.

Nahida appointed him as the new sage of Kshahrewar, which meant he now held positions equivalent to the Minister of Housing Construction, the Minister of Engineering, and the Minister of Land Development in Sumeru. His newly granted authority was immense.

Of course, there were voices of concern and skepticism about this decision, as Kaveh was known for his idealism, leading some to perceive him as overly naive.

Such an idealistic individual assuming such a significant position might not be the best choice.

However, Nahida believed that despite Kaveh's naivety, his abilities were genuine.

She was willing to give him opportunities to make mistakes and to grow—just as her own teacher once gave her the time and space to grow.

She believed Kaveh could handle the job.

In the game, Kaveh struggled financially due to his idealism, amassing debts and living a difficult life.

Now, as a sage, he at least had a stable income. For him, it meant a better life ahead, and an opportunity to use his skills to benefit the people of Sumeru.

However, while some rejoiced, others did not share the same sentiment.

Yes, the other newly appointed sage was none other than Alhaitham.

As for why Nahida chose him, it was because back in Fontaine, she had discussed with Felina about the people she should select to form her team once she regained control of Sumeru.

Based on her past experiences and knowledge, Felina compiled a list of suitable candidates from Sumeru and handed it to Nahida as a reference.

Tighnari, Cyno, Kaveh, and Alhaitham were all on that list.

As a god, though Nahida had long been secluded within the Sanctuary of Surasthana, she had always observed her people in her own way.

She didn't know why Felina had such a deep understanding of the people of Sumeru, but the list she provided was remarkably aligned with Nahida's own thoughts.

"Cyno and Alhaitham being on the list makes sense, but teacher, why is Dori on this list?" Nahida asked with curiosity.

In Nahida's view, while Dori had a kind side, she was more of a shrewd merchant who valued profit above all else. Such a person seemed unsuitable for a government position, and Nahida doubted she would even be interested.

To this, Felina merely chuckled and said, "She is indeed a cunning and profit-driven merchant, but she also has a kind heart. If she were to manage finances, she might be able to turn one mora into two."

"As for how to use her and make the most of her talents, that's something you, as the god of wisdom, should consider."

After gaining power, Nahida did indeed approach Dori.

"Join the Akademiya? No way, no way!"

"Being an official is exhausting and pays so little. I can make way more mora out here, and I'm free and happy! Why would I give that up?"

As expected, Dori rejected Nahida's offer outright.

Nahida wasn't surprised; she could tell that Dori truly enjoyed her current life. She decided not to push the matter and figured that perhaps one day, Dori might change her mind for some reason.

As for Alhaitham…

When he received the appointment notice, he fell silent.

He had always maintained a low profile, only displaying the capabilities required for his position as the Grand Scribe and never deliberately showcasing his true abilities.

Throughout the power struggle, he had deliberately stayed out of sight to avoid attention—so why was he suddenly being made a sage?

Alhaitham found himself deeply puzzled.

It felt like a situation where someone quietly working as a minor local official, aiming to live a peaceful life, suddenly received an imperial decree appointing him as the prime minister.

This feeling left Alhaitham momentarily dazed.

He spent an entire night thinking, trying to figure out when he had exposed himself and caught someone's attention.

Now, with Sumeru's affairs largely settled, there was only one remaining issue left to address—the fate of Azar and the other sages.

Yesterday, Nahida issued an official announcement declaring that Azar and his followers had committed grave crimes and were sentenced to death as a means to quell public outrage. The execution was to be carried out immediately.

Upon hearing the news, the people of Sumeru erupted in cheers.

...

Inside a secret underground prison.

Nahida dismissed everyone else, choosing to meet Azar and his fellow sages alone.

"Lesser Lord Kusanali?" Azar sneered.

"You've already won. Are you here now to gloat over our downfall as the victor?"

"Haven't you already sentenced us to death? Go ahead, kill us now if you wish!"

Their arrogance remained unshaken.

However, Nahida remained unbothered.

She simply shook her head with a sigh. "There's no need to keep up appearances here. There's no one else around."
