Genshin Impact: Transmigrated as Furina's Second Personality

Osial and Beisht followed Felina back to Fontaine.

After the Archon War, gods not aligned with the order of the Seven Archons faced grim fates unless they left Teyvat altogether.

For a defeated god like Osial, submitting to another god—especially one of the victorious Seven Archons—was unthinkable, as it would be an unbearable humiliation.

But Felina was different. To Osial, she was both a benefactor and a friend. Felina respected him, and in turn, he respected her.

After arriving in Fontaine, Osial and Beisht became Felina's vassals. By aligning themselves with the structure of the Seven Archons, they secured a stable existence within the world of Teyvat.

The incident at the Guyun Stone Forest (Lone Cloud Pavilion), where Felina suddenly appeared to battle Morax, had been witnessed by many.

As a result, discussions about whether there was discord between the Geo Archon and Hydro Archon quickly spread. Even the Fatui tried to exploit the situation, attempting to sow discord between Fontaine and Liyue.

However, Liyue's Yuejing Terrace soon issued an official announcement to clarify the situation.

Yuejing Terrace Announcement:

[Recently, we have noticed numerous discussions surrounding the events at the Guyun Stone Forest.

To address this, we have consulted with the Lord of Geo.

The Lord of Geo explained that five days ago, the Vortex God Osial broke free of his stone spear's seal. Along with his remaining followers, he caused havoc and attempted to launch an attack on Liyue Harbor.

The Lord of Geo and the adepti promptly arrived. While the adepti safeguarded Liyue Harbor, the Lord of Geo engaged Osial and his followers in battle alone.

After a prolonged struggle, the Lord of Geo successfully defeated Osial and his followers. However, the death of a god releases immense pollution, which would have turned the surrounding sea into a deadly zone uninhabitable for centuries.

At this critical moment, Lady Focalors, the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, arrived in time to assist the Lord of Geo in subduing Osial and his followers.

Under the guidance of Lady Focalors, the Vortex God Osial and his follower Beisht were moved by her compassion, choosing to renounce their hatred toward Liyue and submit to Lady Focalors as her vassals.

Afterward, the Lord of Geo and Lady Focalors, spurred by mutual respect, engaged in a friendly sparring match in the Guyun Stone Forest area. The match ended without a decisive winner.

However, we have also noticed attempts by ill-intentioned individuals to incite discord between Liyue and Fontaine.

Hereby, we solemnly declare: Lady Focalors has aided Liyue in combating the disaster of Azhdaha and resolving the threat of Osial. She is a benefactor and a friend to Liyue.

The relationship between Lady Focalors and the Lord of Geo is one of great mutual respect.

Liyue and Fontaine have always been harmonious neighbors.

Anyone attempting to defame the Lord of Geo or Lady Focalors, or to undermine the friendship between Liyue and Fontaine, will face severe consequences upon discovery.]

Fontaine's Court of Fontaine issued a similar statement.

The news caused a massive stir in Fontaine.

Countless citizens were thrilled—after all, their Archon had subdued an ancient god, and not just any god, but a hydro-aligned one!

No one wants their nation to be weak—except for traitors.

Thus, once this news broke, Felina received an immense surge of faith energy. The quantity of this energy was roughly equivalent to what Furina had accumulated over sixty years of acting as a god.

"Sigh… I hope you'll let me know in advance next time you plan something this significant."

In her office, Neuvillette sighed with mix of resignation and complexity after learning of Felina's success in bringing Osial under her command.

Fontaine had gained another powerful asset, which was undoubtedly a good thing. However, Felina had orchestrated one surprising plan after another without informing him.

Not long ago, the Dendro Archon from neighboring Sumeru had come to Fontaine and even ended up serving as the Hydro Archon's secretary.

And now, today, she tells him that she has subdued an ancient god.

This left Neuvillette feeling rather conflicted.

Seeing his expression, Felina chuckled.

"I remember you used to complain to me often, wishing I'd take on more of the responsibilities that were supposed to be mine. That way, you'd only have to focus on judicial matters and wouldn't have to worry about national affairs."

"Now that I've taken on the responsibilities, and you pretty much only have to manage judicial work, why do you seem unhappy?"

Felina enjoyed teasing Neuvillette.

Her remark left Neuvillette momentarily stunned.

As the Chief Justice, his authority and primary duty were limited to judicial matters. According to protocol, national affairs and major decisions were under Furina's jurisdiction as the supreme ruler.

Thus, even if Felina made decisions without informing him, as long as they were unrelated to judicial matters, she was technically within her rights.

While everything was procedurally correct, he couldn't help but feel conflicted.

On one hand, though he often complained and hoped for Furina to mature, now that she had become an outstanding Archon, he found himself nostalgic and wistful.

On the other hand, even if Felina's actions were entirely within the rules, the fact that she didn't tell him left him feeling somewhat neglected and inexplicably disappointed.

"After spending so much time among humans, you're becoming more like them—prone to overthinking and caught in contradictions," Felina said with a soft smile.

"But that's fine. It's quite endearing."

At her words, Neuvillette, usually stoic, couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from twitching. He almost failed to control the blush creeping across his face.

Never in his life had he imagined that Furina would one day tease him like this.

"You've truly changed," he remarked.

"Perhaps," Felina replied with a chuckle. "All right, I'm sorry. Lately, I've been traveling between nations and have been so overwhelmed that I may have neglected your feelings."

Neuvillette had been holding his composure, but this comment completely unraveled him. The tone reminded him of someone placating a sulking child.

His face flushed as he retorted, "Lady Furina, are you treating me like a wronged child?"

"How could I?" Felina replied with a laugh, pulling out a few bottles of water and placing them on his desk.

"Here, this one is water from Mondstadt's Cider Lake."

"This one is from Liyue's Qingce Village."

"This one is from an oasis in the desert, and this one is from Sumeru's rivers."

"I know you enjoy tasting different waters, so I brought these especially for you. Think of them as my apology."

Felina tilted her head and smiled, pushing the bottles toward Neuvillette before returning to her desk to continue working.

In the office, Neuvillette stared at the bottles of water before him for a moment.

Then, shaking his head with a quiet laugh, he murmured, "She really has changed."

After Osial was subdued, Felina assigned him and Beisht to Fontaine's oceans. The arrangement served two purposes: ensuring the safety of Fontaine's seas and allowing them to recuperate.

As for the public announcements from Liyue and Fontaine, Beisht and Osial were entirely indifferent.

After all, everyone knew that even if two nations physically fought during negotiations, the official statements released would still claim: "The parties engaged in full communication and a candid, amicable exchange."

To Osial and Beisht, Felina and Zhongli had already fought to the point of mutual injury, yet the announcements claimed their relationship was exceptionally cordial.

Such rhetoric was nothing more than a diplomatic compromise made by Felina and Zhongli to avoid escalating tensions. For the sake of their respective nations, neither wished to damage their relationship irreparably.

After all, personal feelings had no place in diplomacy. No one could justify Fontaine and Liyue going to war just because Felina and Zhongli didn't get along—leading to devastation in both nations.

So, rather than saying Osial and Beisht didn't care, it would be more accurate to say they understood Felina's actions.

Returning to her office from her meeting with Neuvillette, Felina quickly received a system notification.

[Ding~ Due to the host's successful subjugation of Osial and Beisht, significantly enhancing Fontaine's military strength and bolstering public faith, the host has been rewarded: 300,000 Guardian Points.]

[Detected: Host's current Guardian Points have reached the threshold for unlocking a stage reward. Congratulations! The host has received the stage reward: "Law of Accelerated Flow."]

Felina's face lit up with delight. By now, she had figured out the system's patterns—any reward containing the word "Law" was bound to be exceptional.

With a smile, Felina checked the description of the so-called Law of Accelerated Flow.

Law of Accelerated Flow:

In water currents, resistance slows movement upstream, while acceleration propels downstream.

Upon comprehending this law, the host's speed can increase drastically, enabling instantaneous traversal across vast distances. Additionally, the host can accelerate objects or their attacks, amplifying their destructive power.

"Yet another conceptual-level ability," Felina thought to herself.

Accelerating an object might sound unimpressive at first glance. However, if the acceleration were significant enough, the potential could be terrifying.

Take a bullet, for instance—essentially a fingernail-sized piece of metal. Propelled by the explosive force of gunpowder, its speed enables immense destructive power.

Leaving destruction aside, the mere enhancement of her own speed was enough to please Felina.

Unlike in games, there were no teleportation anchors she could use here. Whenever she needed to travel far, it took considerable time.

If something urgent arose, long travel times could introduce countless uncertainties—like with the recent Osial incident.

Had she been just a bit slower or faced obstacles along the way, Zhongli might have reached a breaking point where he could no longer delay and would have killed Osial outright. Subduing him under such circumstances would have been impossible.

However, if she could have arrived instantly in Liyue, she could have remained hidden, waited for the opportune moment, and acted at her discretion. This would have given her much greater control over the situation.

Similarly, if she had been faster back then, Aishi might not have needed to die.

All in all, Felina was very satisfied with this ability.

Just as she settled into her chair, Nahida entered the office, holding a stack of documents.

"So, how are you finding life in Fontaine?" Felina asked, glancing at Nahida.

"It's my first time seeing the world through my own eyes. Everything feels new and exciting. I've been quite happy," Nahida replied.

She carried the documents to Felina's side and sat down with her on the same sofa.

As mentioned before, Nahida had chosen to come to Fontaine because Felina was her only friend in this world. Moreover, she deeply admired Felina's methods and decided to stay by her side to learn from her.

Felina didn't dislike Nahida and was happy to teach her. As a result, she made Nahida her office secretary.

On a daily basis, Nahida assisted Felina in managing Fontaine. Except for sensitive state secrets that Nahida couldn't be privy to, Felina generally allowed her to observe all proceedings.

During these moments, Felina also offered spontaneous lessons.

"By the way, is the announcement true?" Nahida asked.

"What part are you referring to?" Felina replied.

"I mean, the part where you fought the Geo Archon to a draw and subdued the Vortex God Osial," Nahida clarified.

Felina chuckled. "Yes, it's true."

"Really? I didn't expect you could go toe-to-toe with the Geo Archon, renowned as the God of War, and also subdue the Overlord of the Vortex," Nahida said in astonishment. "It seems Sumeru should never provoke Fontaine in the future."

"Haha, you're surprisingly forthright about that," Felina said, laughing at Nahida's candidness.

In reality, however, Felina had lied.

While her raw power was indeed comparable to Zhongli's, she had deliberately held back during their fight.

She hadn't used the Law of Stagnant Water during that battle. If she had invoked this ability to halt time, Zhongli would have been completely defenseless, as if he were standing still while she attacked.

If it had been a genuine battle, Zhongli would undoubtedly have lost.

But because the fight was staged, using time-stopping abilities would have made it impossible to keep up the act.

Seeing that Felina was free, Nahida brought over some documents, pointing to their contents.

"Teacher, look at this. It's about the management plans for the desert," Nahida began.

"I believe that while the various engineering projects in the desert can indeed provide more job opportunities for Fontaine's people, it wouldn't be appropriate for all positions to be filled exclusively by Fontaine citizens."

Nahida, like an eager student, explained her perspective to Felina.

She argued that the harsh desert environment left its people with few means of subsistence, which was why so many mercenaries resorted to looting.

This rugged culture would be difficult to change under normal circumstances, but now the desert was undergoing a period of significant transformation. Nahida believed this was an excellent opportunity for reform.

She proposed that the engineering projects in the desert should also employ local desert inhabitants, providing them with wages and a way to sustain their livelihoods.

This approach, she argued, would reduce the prevalence of mercenary raids and gradually temper the desert's rough cultural tendencies.

Furthermore, by having Fontaine citizens and desert inhabitants work together, it could foster goodwill between the two groups, laying the groundwork for the eventual integration of the desert into Fontaine.
