Genshin Impact: Transmigrated as Furina's Second Personality

"Wanting to save a loved one, to seek freedom and happiness, is only human nature!"

"My two friends—what have they done wrong?"

Felina stared intently at Zhongli. "The Archon War has long ended; why must you insist on eradicating them completely?"

Her forceful questioning rang with conviction, but to Zhongli's ears, it merely brought a faint, disdainful smile to his face.

"Focalors, I once thought that as the god of a nation, you possessed great wisdom. But now it seems you are far too naïve."

"Indeed, it is human nature to desire freedom. And yes, the Archon War has ended, and there is no longer any need for gods to fight one another."

"But so what? Osial was the defeated party in the Archon War. Most of his followers perished in their battles against me, and he has been sealed away for over two thousand years."

"Beisht, as a remnant of the Vortex, has been separated from her husband for over two millennia."

"Even if I were willing to spare them, can they abandon the hatred they bear as the defeated?"

As Zhongli's words fell, his sharp gaze swept toward Beisht and Osial.

Under Zhongli's piercing stare, Osial and Beisht averted their eyes, unable to meet his gaze—proof that he had struck at the truth of their hearts.

Felina noticed this as well. Seeing their reactions, she could only speak up, "Even so, I will keep them under my watch. I will ensure they do not act recklessly."

"Hah!"

Zhongli let out another cold laugh. "Focalors, you truly are naïve."

"Let's assume you do possess the strength to suppress them. But can you watch them at every moment, ensuring they never seek vengeance against me or Liyue?"

Felina's gaze wavered, and she fell silent.

Seeing her hesitation, Zhongli pressed further. "It seems you yourself understand that you cannot. In that case, as a ruler, you should know that for the safety of one's nation, the best course of action is to eliminate them here and now."

"Is there truly no room for negotiation?"

"The safety of my nation cannot be compromised!"

Hearing this, Felina's expression instantly turned cold. She looked up at Zhongli, water elemental energy surging around her, and said loudly, "If that's the case, then let us fight!"

At her words, Zhongli's expression turned even colder.

"Focalors, you must understand the consequences of this!"

"Should you choose to attack, it will mean complete severance between Fontaine and Liyue. Our nations will become enemies!"

Below, Osial and Beisht, hearing this, were moved to tears and cried out loudly.

"Furina! That's enough!"

"You've already done so much for us—it's more than enough!"

"Don't risk yourself for our sake!"

"We are ashamed beyond words!"

"There's still time—go while you can!"

Osial and Beisht continued shouting, their voices filled with desperation. But Felina merely waved her hand once more, cutting them off.

"There's no need to say more!"

"If there can be no peace, then let us fight!"

"Today, I fight for the justice in my heart!"

As her words fell, Felina's power erupted completely!

Seeing this, Zhongli realized she was truly serious. He immediately unleashed his own power in response.

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color!

The golden radiance of geo energy shone brightly across the sky, while the blue brilliance of Hydro energy burst forth below!

The massive stone spears bore down from above!

Felina raised both hands high.

"The sea, obey my command!"

At her words, as Felina's hands lifted, the ocean surged unnaturally.

The blue seawater, as if malleable like clay, was pulled upward by an invisible force. It coalesced into enormous water spikes rising from the sea's surface, shooting toward the descending stone spears in the sky!

With a thunderous boom, the stone spears and water spikes collided, shaking the heavens and earth!

In the clash, the stone spears shattered, and the water spikes exploded into countless fragments. The debris mixed with sprays of seawater, cascading down like a torrential rainstorm!

Amidst the rain of stone and water, the Hydro Archon and the Geo Archon clashed fiercely.

Their movements were too fast for the naked eye to follow. Only the dense bursts of explosive shockwaves in the void testified to the intensity of their battle.

Zhongli was concerned that their clash might impact Liyue Harbor, while Felina equally did not wish for any harm to come to the humans in Liyue Harbor, nor for the aftershocks of their battle to further injure the gravely wounded Osial and Beisht below.

Thus, with an unspoken understanding, the two gods pulled their battlefield far out to sea, away from the Lone Cloud Pavilion. This ensured both the safety of Liyue Harbor and the ability of Osial and Beisht to witness the battle without being caught in it.

In the distant open ocean, the battle between the two gods continued unabated!

Zhongli, wielding his golden spear, and Felina, brandishing her azure spear, clashed at close range in the air!

Boom!

Zhongli swung his spear heavily toward Felina. Startled, Felina immediately raised her spear in front of her to block the attack.

With a muffled sound, Felina's azure spear successfully parried Zhongli's golden spear.

But at that very moment, Zhongli's spear burst forth with a radiant golden light, unleashing a powerful resonance shockwave!

The immense force exploded against Felina, sending her flying backward.

Seeing this, Zhongli was about to press his advantage, but just then, Furina intervened!

From the sea below, an enormous Hydro Knight manifested in an instant. Wielding a colossal sword of Hydro element, it swung downward, aiming to crush Zhongli!

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Zhongli could only raise his golden spear above his head to block it.

Boom!

Another deafening explosion echoed across the sea!

The massive sword of the Hydro Knight struck Zhongli's raised spear with terrifying force.

Unable to withstand such immense power, Zhongli was sent flying downward, a black streak slamming heavily into the ocean below.

On the other side, Felina, who had been blown back, stabilized herself by stomping on the water's surface several times. In the same instant she regained her balance, she launched a counterattack!

She clenched her fist and aimed at the sea where Zhongli had fallen.

"The sea, surge!"

At her command, the ocean became chaotic, as if a massive invisible hand was stirring its surface. The water began to rotate violently, forming a swirling vortex.

Within this vortex, the spinning seawater pulled Zhongli deeper, preventing him from escaping. At the same time, the swirling water acted like countless high-speed water blades, relentlessly shredding everything within.

For a moment, the ocean surface resembled a boiling cauldron, chaotic and horrifying.

However, before long, a brilliant golden light pierced through the seawater, followed by a deep, resounding explosion echoing from beneath the waves.

A massive underwater blast erupted, shattering Felina's water vortex. Moments later, Zhongli burst out of the water's surface.

By this time, Felina had fully adjusted herself.

The killing intent between the two gods intensified as they clashed once more!

The battle between Felina and Zhongli grew increasingly fierce.

The two clashed relentlessly over the ocean, their battle raging on for more than an hour.

Throughout this time, the surface of the sea churned and rolled, the waves rising higher and higher with each collision.

Water sprayed into the air while meteorite spears crashed down from above!

The immense waves generated by the gods' fierce combat spread so far that they reached the shores of Inazuma.

During this hour-long clash, neither god stopped for even a moment. The ferocity of their exchange pushed both to their limits, draining their strength.

Despite the enormous toll on her, Felina showed no signs of retreat. She charged forward time and again to continue her battle against Zhongli.

At this moment, another clash erupted over the ocean's surface!

"Domain of Slowed Currents!"

Felina extended her hand, unleashing the same move she once used against Azhdaha.

Golden light shone from Zhongli's hands as he gathered his power, clearly preparing to unleash a devastating strike. But the overwhelming force of water elemental energy pressed in on him.

The more powerful the target, the harder it was to suppress.

Zhongli was at the peak of his strength, and the vast geo energy he had gathered was poised to erupt with unimaginable destructive power.

Thus, sealing Zhongli with the Domain of Slowed Currents now was like locking a powerful bomb in an iron box. It could only delay the explosion for a fleeting moment.

But for Felina, that fleeting moment was enough!

In a flash of blue light, Felina appeared before Zhongli. Without hesitation, she swung her fist directly at his face!

At the same time, the Domain of Slowed Currents could no longer suppress Zhongli. The moment the water dissipated, Zhongli's golden fist, imbued with terrifying resonance power, smashed toward Felina's abdomen!

In this situation, neither could evade. Both could only watch as the other's fist struck them.

Boom!

Boom!

Two deafening explosions echoed through the sky!

Zhongli's fist, carrying overwhelming resonance force, struck Felina's abdomen. The terrifying power exploded outward, rippling across her body.

At the same time, Felina's fist collided with Zhongli's head. Her punch was far from simple.

The punch carried concentrated Hydro energy, and upon impact, it spawned a water bubble similar to those produced by the Ocean-Hued Clam artifact set. The water bubble exploded the moment it touched Zhongli's head.

The powerful Hydro energy shockwave burst forth, spreading across Zhongli's head with immense force!

The devastating impact sent shockwaves through both Felina and Zhongli, launching them away from each other!

Under the force of Felina's punch, Zhongli's body turned into a streak of bronze-gold light, crashing heavily into the ocean and sending an enormous spray of water soaring into the sky.

Meanwhile, Felina, struck by Zhongli's punch, was sent flying as a streak of blue light. She was propelled two to three kilometers through the air before she managed to stabilize herself.

No one knew how much time had passed.

The direction Felina had been thrown happened to be toward the Lone Cloud Pavilion. At this moment, she hovered in the air above Osial and Beisht.

She panted heavily, seemingly trying to stabilize her injuries. But in the next second, she opened her mouth and coughed up a large mouthful of blood. The crimson liquid splattered into the seawater beside Beisht, so vivid and shocking to behold!

Meanwhile, Zhongli also floated up from the sea. His expression was dazed, and blood trickled uncontrollably from his forehead.

Seeing this, Osial and Beisht felt their hearts wrench in anguish.

Felina's fighting style just now was entirely one of exchanging injuries—risking her own life to trade blows.

Watching Felina injured and vomiting blood, they understood clearly that she was truly willing to fight to the death to protect them.

And Zhongli, though he had inflicted significant internal injuries on Felina, had also suffered a substantial blow from her punch.

This much was evident just by looking at the blood seeping from his forehead and the haze lingering in his expression.

After such a prolonged battle, it seemed even Zhongli realized that Felina's strength was on par with his own.

Felina's refusal to back down, paired with her relentless attacks, demonstrated her resolve not to yield.

With her unshakable determination and overwhelming power, Felina made Zhongli understand that continuing the fight would only result in mutual destruction.

As gods who sheltered entire nations, such a conclusion would not benefit either of their lands. On the contrary, it would only cause greater chaos.

Realizing Felina's formidable strength and her unwillingness to compromise, Zhongli ultimately chose to back down after careful consideration.

"If we continue like this, it will only lead to mutual destruction. That benefits neither of us."

Zhongli looked at Felina. "Hydro Archon Focalors, you have proven yourself with your strength."

"In that case, let us both take a step back."

Zhongli offered his proposal.

"I will refrain from killing them, and I will allow them to leave."

"But I must leave a Mark of Destruction on their souls!"

The Mark of Destruction was similar to a slave mark.

Once the mark was placed on someone's soul, it could be detonated at a single thought, completely obliterating their soul.

Zhongli intended to place the mark on the souls of Osial and Beisht. If they ever attempted to seek revenge against Liyue in the future, he could trigger the mark and kill them instantly.

"Absolutely impossible!!!"

Before Felina could respond, Osial and Beisht shouted in loud defiance!

What kind of person was Morax? He was their sworn enemy. Allowing him to leave a Mark of Destruction on their souls was no different from becoming his slaves!

Such humiliation was worse than death—they would never accept it!

"Impossible!"

Felina's voice was equally resolute. "They are my friends. I will never allow them to suffer such an indignity!"

"If we still cannot reach an agreement, then let us fight on!"

As she spoke, Felina once again assumed a combat stance.
