Genshin Impact: Transmigrated as Furina's Second Personality

"The battle is lost!"

"Lay down your weapons, and you will not be killed. Resist, and there will be no mercy!"

Fontaine's soldiers, dressed in blue uniforms, with magazines strapped to their chests, advanced step by step through the valley, holding automatic rifles.

Yes, Fontaine now had automatic rifles.

This wasn't surprising—Fontaine had already mastered firearm production. With an industrial base capable of manufacturing muskets, they only lacked inspiration for advanced designs.

Using memories from a previous life, Felina had drawn blueprints for modern firearms and handed them over to Fontaine's Scientific Academy. In no time, mass production was achieved.

Now, the soldiers moved with disciplined precision, their shoulders pressed against the rifle stocks as they scanned their surroundings with intense focus.

At first, some Fatui soldiers tried to resist, but Fontaine's troops responded without hesitation, firing their weapons.

When the Fatui saw the Fontainian soldiers fire volleys from a distance, cutting people down effortlessly, they finally understood—this war was already unwinnable.

Eventually, they had no choice but to lay down their weapons and surrender, joining their leader, the Captain, in captivity.

From above, Zhongli and the other adepti observed the entire battle in silence, their expressions heavy. Especially Keqing and Ningguang, who were visibly stunned.

This war had gone far beyond their expectations.

From over a hundred kilometers away, Fontaine's forces launched a devastating rocket barrage that obliterated tens of thousands of enemy troops in a single volley.

Then came the relentless mechanical units, utterly fearless and impervious to pain. From their vantage point, the adepti had seen these machines, particularly the Icewind Suite, enter the battlefield as if it were unguarded territory.

Against the Fatui's forces, the mechanical army was an unstoppable juggernaut, sweeping through everything in its path.

Finally, Fontaine's human soldiers entered the battlefield, armed with fully automatic rifles.

The strategy was clear:

 1. Rocket Barrage: Thousands of rockets were fired in a saturation bombardment, decimating the enemy and shattering their formations.

 2. Mechanized Assault: A fearless and tireless robotic army was deployed to chase down and eliminate the survivors.

 3. Human Troops: After the machines cleared the field, the human soldiers moved in to clean up and secure the area.

In less than an hour, nearly 80,000 Fatui soldiers were effectively annihilated. This approach to warfare was entirely unprecedented, completely overturning Zhongli and the others' understanding of combat.

Accustomed to close-quarters combat and cold steel, they were utterly shaken by the advanced weapons and new tactics Fontaine had demonstrated.

Looking down at the devastated battlefield, they couldn't help but wonder: if the same tactics were used against the Millelith, could they hold their ground?

After some thought, they reluctantly admitted a sobering truth: absolutely not.

The Millelith might be disciplined and brave, but compared to Fontaine's military tactics, they were on an entirely different level.

Given Teyvat's current technological state, no nation's army could withstand a rocket barrage followed by a mechanized assault.

After all, with most of their forces obliterated by the first volley and the rest scattered by the steel onslaught, what hope did they have left?

At this realization, Zhongli and the adepti glanced at Felina with wary expressions, as if silently asking: "When did Fontaine develop this? Are you planning to use it against us someday?"

As mortals, Keqing and Ningguang were even more acutely aware of the firepower and effectiveness of the rockets and robots.

Unable to hide their interest, they spoke up bluntly, though with a hint of awe.

"Fontaine's level of development truly exceeds all expectations," Keqing remarked.

"Hydro Archon," Ningguang added, "do you have any intention of selling those cannons and robots?"

Seeing their reactions, Felina chuckled.

"I wouldn't have invited you here to watch if I didn't plan to sell them," she replied.

"But don't be in such a rush. As I said before, if it weren't for preserving Chenyu Vale, I wouldn't even need to use such little trinkets."

"Let's go, I'll take you to another battlefield to show you something even better."

"Huh? Little trinkets?"

Felina's casual comment made Keqing and Ningguang's hearts race once more.

If what they had just witnessed were considered "little trinkets," then what kind of otherworldly weapon would qualify as a "big deal"?

Meanwhile, in the desert battlefield:

The desert was different from Chenyu Vale.

Chenyu Vale was lush with forests, abundant wildlife, and fertile land, with many Liyue citizens residing and making their livelihoods there. Fighting near the borders of Chenyu Vale required caution.

This was why Felina personally dealt with the highest-ranking enemy, the Captain, and then deployed rocket barrages and mechanized forces to finish the job.

The desert, on the other hand, was nothing but endless stretches of barren sand. Bombing such a wasteland? Not a shred of guilt.

At this moment, under the Doctor's command, a 120,000-strong Fatui army was preparing to cross the sea to attack Fontaine.

The sound of their footsteps and the rustling of their uniforms were faint, but with 120,000 soldiers on the move, the noise was anything but subtle.

However, amidst the cacophony, someone seemed to pick up on something unusual.

"Wait, is there some kind of sound?"

A Fatui soldier spoke up.

"Hah, you're just imagining things. Scared of the battlefield already?"

"Hahaha, you're the most timid one of us all!"

"Relax, with Fontaine's pathetic forces, we'll crush them in no time!"

The soldier's comrades jeered, their laughter ringing out. His face flushed red.

"I—I'm not scared! I really think I heard something!"

One of the others was about to make another joke when another soldier's brow furrowed.

"Wait, something's off. There really is a sound, and it's getting louder!"

The soldier looked up at the sky, his face turning pale as he pointed upward.

"Wait, look! What's that?"

With his exclamation, all the Fatui soldiers turned their eyes skyward.

Amid the whirling desert sands, they strained to see through the stormy air. Their blurry vision managed to pick out an object in the sky.

It was a conical shape, moving at incredible speed, heading straight from the direction of Fontaine.

Trailing a long, white tail, it slashed through the heavens like a sword.

It glowed with a dazzling flame, roaring through the air like a dragon's bellow.

As it streaked across the sky, though merely a single object, its sheer presence radiated overwhelming pressure.

"?"

Among the troops, the Doctor's four segments all looked upward simultaneously.

Though it was their first time seeing such a thing, the sight gave them a strange, inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The missile's deafening roar drowned out even the sound of the desert winds.

"Not good!"

Suddenly, they remembered something.

Not long ago, one of the segments dispatched to Inazuma for a mission was killed in an explosion caused by a similar conical object descending from the sky.

That segment, in its dying moments, shared the memory of the explosion with the others.

When they reviewed the memory, the remaining segments were deeply shocked by the power of the attack.

However, while they had access to the memory, they still didn't understand what the weapon was. They didn't even know the thing that killed the segment was called a missile.

The segments lacked detailed information about the weapon, and since the incident occurred in Inazuma, they never connected it to Fontaine.

But now, seeing the warhead speeding in from Fontaine's direction, the four segments realized the truth.

The attack in Inazuma had involved Fontaine. The weapon that struck from the sky was their handiwork!

Yet, at this moment, they had no time for anger.

Because in the shared memory, the missile's speed had been extraordinary. Hesitation now would mean certain death!

Even though it was another segment's memory, the sheer destruction left an indelible mark on their minds.

It's difficult for a person to reconcile with themselves, and the segments of the Doctor often harbored disdain for each other. But under the threat of the missile, they achieved a rare consensus.

A second's delay could mean annihilation. Without hesitation, the four segments simultaneously surged into the air!

Unleashing their full power, they raised their palms skyward and combined their strength to form a massive barrier that enveloped the entire Fatui army below.

Of course, their motive wasn't to protect the 120,000 soldiers—it was purely self-preservation.

As they erected the barrier, the missile struck with its supersonic speed, arriving in an instant.

The pointed warhead was like divine retribution, slamming into the segments' barrier.

Upon impact, the detonation mechanism activated. The vast energy of compressed elemental Arkhe stored within the missile was unleashed in an instant!

Boom!

A deafening explosion rocked the desert.

A colossal wave of fire surged outward like a tsunami, sweeping across the landscape in all directions.

The shockwave radiated out for tens of kilometers, shattering every cloud in the sky and distorting the heavens themselves.

The earth quaked violently beneath the desert sands, as if the entire expanse were being churned in a colossal frying pan.

The combined barrier created by the four segments managed to barely withstand the missile's impact, but it shattered into countless fragments and disintegrated in the fiery blaze.

The explosion's shockwave sent the four segments hurtling down like falling stars, crashing into the sands with great force and kicking up clouds of dust.

The 120,000-strong Fatui army staggered and swayed on the trembling ground. Whole groups toppled over in droves, chaos reigning supreme.

The once-proud and confident army had, in an instant, been reduced to a scattered, humiliated mass.

After an indeterminate amount of time, countless Fatui soldiers began to pick themselves up, their faces pale with fear.

The four segments of the Doctor also rose from the sand, their prior arrogance and mockery of Fontaine completely obliterated by the missile's lingering might.

Now, the 120,000 soldiers who had marched with such confidence bore expressions of utter despair, their faces ashen with dread.

This is not cowardice, for no one who has witnessed a nuclear explosion overhead could remain unshaken.

Firelight engulfed the entire world in their vision; the massive shockwave tore through everything, shaking heaven and earth to its core.

Even the rigorously trained Fatui soldiers seemed insignificant beneath the overwhelming radiance of the missile's explosion.

It was not merely fear of death but the suffocating helplessness that arose when one witnessed an unstoppable force with their own eyes.

The four segments of the Doctor emerged from the sand at various locations, their bodies battered and scorched.

Thanks to the segment that had been incinerated in Inazuma, they had been somewhat prepared and managed to withstand this missile's impact through their combined efforts.

Yet, they were keenly aware of their limitations. Raiden Ei herself had barely survived four such strikes. How many could they endure?

Barely surviving the previous missile, the segments were already grievously wounded. Another strike would mean certain death.

As if to confirm their fears, a flash of light from Fontaine's direction heralded another missile's launch.

The roaring sound of its approach filled the air—a terrifying, familiar whistle that grew louder by the second, like a dragon unleashing a deafening roar to herald its descent.

Panic and despair spread across the faces of the Fatui soldiers.

Some of the more timid ones screamed, collapsing to the ground.

Even the Doctor's segments, usually composed and calculating, now wore expressions of utter dread.

As unique as they were, their shared awareness of their rarity and the difficulty of their creation made them value their lives more than most.

Faced with the incoming missile and the terrified screams around them, a surge of bitterness and determination overcame the segments. They gritted their teeth.

"All Geo Vanguard Mages—activate shields at full power!"

The order from the segments steadied the chaotic troops.

Even amidst the terror, the Fatui soldiers, well-disciplined, quickly organized themselves.

Over ten thousand Geo mages raised their staves high. The golden glow of Geo energy shimmered like stars across the 120,000-strong formation. The energy connected, forming a vast, protective shield.

Simultaneously, the four Doctor segments unleashed their power to bolster the defenses further.

As the defenses formed, the missile descended, bringing its devastating might with it.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion erupted, and a massive fireball burst forth.

The fiery inferno expanded rapidly, consuming everything within several kilometers. The shockwave swept through the desert like a tsunami, kicking up massive sandstorms that engulfed the area for over a hundred kilometers.

Even Fontaine's coastlines were impacted. The sea trembled, and massive waves battered the harbor at Lueurport.

The destructive power of the missile was undeniable.

The combined defenses of the Geo mages and the Doctor segments successfully resisted the initial shockwave.

But that was all.

When the missile detonated, their barrier held against the explosion's impact, but it shattered immediately afterward.

Though they survived the shockwave, the searing heat in the thousands of degrees generated by the explosion was beyond their capacity to endure.

The resulting inferno swept through the battlefield, reducing the entire 120,000-strong Fatui force to ashes that merged with the endless sands.

As the raging sands calmed, what had once been a densely packed army was now an empty wasteland.

Only four charred figures, barely distinguishable from burnt statues, remained standing in the desolate desert. Their bodies were blackened, and their breaths were faint.
