Genshin Impact: Transmigrated as Furina's Second Personality

The pursuit lasted for a full half-hour.

During this time, Furina fled in terror.

Yet within that half-hour, she was struck by Scaramouche's lightning attacks seven times, sent flying by his kicks five times, and punched in various parts of her body eight times.

Each blow left wounds on her body, blasting her far away before she hit the ground with a heavy crash.

Faced with the threat of death, she sobbed in fear. She even begged Scaramouche not to kill her, just as she had pleaded with the attendants in the game's storyline.

But Scaramouche ignored her entirely, continuing his relentless attacks as though playing a twisted game of cat and mouse.

Finally, she reached a dead end.

Frightened and desperate, she found herself cornered in a mountain range. To her front, left, and right, sheer cliffs loomed, leaving no path for escape.

"It seems the game of cat and mouse is over."

With a sinister smile, Scaramouche slowly advanced, forcing Furina into the base of the mountain.

"Felina! Felina!"

"Where are you?!"

"Wake up! I'm so scared!"

"Please, save me. I'm so afraid!"

As Scaramouche drew closer, Furina grew more panicked, desperately calling out to Felina in her heart, begging for rescue.

Yet Felina remained silent, as though she had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Despair engulfed Furina.

"Ahahaha!"

"The fear on your face is truly amusing!"

Scaramouche sneered disdainfully at Furina.

"Even now, you cower in terror. What a pathetic waste!"

"I can't fathom how a failure like you ever became a god!"

"Enough. Since you've reached the end of the line, let this be the end for you."

"With your death, I shall prove myself!"

With those words, Scaramouche prepared to strike once more.

"Death?"

"I will die?"

As the word death echoed in her mind, Furina's thoughts seemed to explode in a deafening buzz.

Fear, panic, despair, helplessness—all of it evaporated in an instant.

In the blank canvas of her mind, only two words remained: Felina.

Felina, the one who had ended her long solitude.

Felina's presence was like a warm current soothing the tension and despair that had weighed on her for nearly five centuries.

To Furina, Felina was like a ray of light piercing through the cracks of a darkened room, illuminating her world.

Felina worked tirelessly to protect her, giving her a profound sense of security.

Felina would comfort her, love her, care for her, and bring her joy and happiness.

Felina devoted herself completely, maneuvering between nations, weaving strategies, and bearing immense pressure—all to help her.

Even now, Felina had come to Liyue, negotiated with the Geo Archon, resolved the soil imbalance of Chenyu Vale at great personal cost, and had fallen into a deep sleep to recover.

Furina vividly recalled Felina's earlier conversation with Keqing on Yujing Terrace.

Keqing: "I have always believed that humanity must show its worth. If we lose our ambition and become mere dependents of the gods' love, then how can we ever deserve their protection?"

Felina: "The gods are not as omnipotent as you imagine. Have you ever considered that your gods might long to see Liyue stand on its own one day?"

Perhaps Felina, feeling some resonance in her heart, had offered that response.

To Furina, Felina was omnipotent, a god who could do anything.

And she was merely the girl sheltered under Felina's protection.

At this moment, Furina realized for the first time that she had been basking in the safety Felina provided without recognizing that Felina, too, had her vulnerabilities.

Felina could grow tired, be injured—and die.

Just as Keqing had said, if the people did not strive for themselves, how could they ever deserve the gods' protection?

And what about her?

If she continued as a coward, hiding under Felina's shelter, enjoying the happiness and comfort that Felina brought while pushing all the trouble onto Felina to handle...

What right did she have to deserve Felina's care and love?

In Liyue's story, when the Geo Archon feigned death and conspired with the Fatui to unleash the Vortex God Osial, the nation suddenly found itself without the Archon's protection. Yet amid the calamity, Liyue grew stronger, maturing into an independent power.

Now, Furina faced a similar situation.

When she realized she could not rely on Felina for help...

When she understood that they shared one body, and that if she didn't take action, they would both perish...

Furina began to grow.

Bang!

A thunderous roar echoed!

Faced with Scaramouche's fatal attack, Furina channeled the power of water, forming a rapidly spinning water blade that slashed fiercely toward him!

The water blade collided with Scaramouche's lightning, producing a dazzling spray of sparks and water.

The unexpected counterattack caught Scaramouche off guard, forcing him to retreat under the shockwave's impact.

"You're right. I am a coward."

"I am not a competent god."

"I truly am useless. When faced with challenges and danger, I always think of running away and letting someone else deal with it."

"But this time, I have someone I must protect!"

"To safeguard those I cherish, I will not run away this time!!"

Amid the erupting lightning and water, Furina, trapped in her desperate situation, slowly stood upright.

Her face was marred with bloodstains, and her once-beautiful clothes were tattered and filthy, yet her gaze grew ever more resolute.

A torrent of water surged toward her, her hair and eyes glowing with a brilliant aquatic blue.

"If I were alone, perhaps I would still flee. But now, I have someone to protect. This time, I will not back down!"

She acknowledged and embraced her own weakness, forcing herself to find courage.

To live up to the love and expectations of someone dear, the girl who had long relied on avoidance was growing rapidly.

This time, she would not escape!

Clenching her fists, the power of the Hydro Archon surged in tandem with her will.

To protect the one I cherish most, I will cast aside cowardice and fear, becoming brave and steadfast.

This time, it's my turn to protect Felina!

The girl, accustomed to avoidance, found courage for the sake of protecting someone most important to her.

In the wilderness, a brilliant azure light shone.

Furina's eyes and hair tips glimmered with a blue radiance as water elemental energy suffused her being.

She slowly stood up amidst her dire predicament, her gaze resolute. At first glance, her demeanor already bore a striking resemblance to Felina's usual composure.

Her eyes locked firmly onto Scaramouche. Though she didn't know why he wanted to kill her, she was incredibly clear about one thing—he was here to end her life. Only by defeating him could she protect Felina!

In terms of combat, Felina was more adept, her moves sharp and domineering.

In contrast, Furina's fighting style carried her personal flair, reflecting her love for opera.

"Water, rise!"

With an outstretched hand, she summoned an immense amount of water elemental energy.

Meanwhile, Scaramouche, having already committed to his lethal strike, was caught off guard by Furina's sudden counterattack.

Stomping his feet to stabilize himself, he looked around and realized his surroundings were now bathed in shimmering waterlight.

Under Furina's command, an enormous mass of water elemental energy coalesced into a towering Hydro Giant.

This giant, clad in knightly armor and wielding a massive sword over sixty meters long, stood behind Furina like a loyal and formidable sentinel.

"Slash!"

At her command, the Hydro Giant raised its massive sword high, bringing it down in an angry, thunderous arc toward Scaramouche.

Though enormous, the giant moved with astonishing speed.

Before Scaramouche could react, the water-blue blade was already descending upon him.

Boom!

A deafening crash reverberated!

Scaramouche managed to catch the giant sword with his hands, halting its downward slash. Yet the tremendous force surged through his body in an instant.

It felt as though someone had lifted a fully loaded semi-truck and smashed it directly onto him.

Unable to withstand such a horrifying impact, he held on for barely a second before his knees buckled violently.

Crash!

The ground beneath Scaramouche's feet quaked, splitting apart in a massive web of cracks.

The blade stopped mere inches from his nose, the sharp edge glinting ominously.

His pupils trembled, unable to comprehend how the corwardly god who had been fleeing in terror moments earlier could suddenly unleash such overwhelming power.

But one thing was clear: that single strike shattered his illusion, forcing him to awaken from the delusion that he was stronger than a god.

"Ahhh!!!"

He roared, summoning his strength to repel the sword, and lunged toward Furina at full speed.

The Hydro Giant needed time to recover its sword for another strike, and Scaramouche sought to seize this window to close in and launch a fatal attack.

Surrounded by crackling violet lightning, Scaramouche moved with extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, he was upon Furina.

With a sharp stomp forward, he formed his right hand into a blade, fingers aligned as he aimed a piercing strike directly at her throat.

This was no ordinary move.

Highly compressed with destructive electro energy, his fingers were transformed into a lethal weapon. Lightning, the very essence of destruction and annihilation, imbued this strike with enormous destructive power.

This was a true killing blow, fully intended to end Furina's life.

Had the strike landed, the consequences for Furina would have been unthinkable—though, of course, at most, she would have been seriously injured.

But Furina was no longer the same timid girl who only knew how to flee.

Now, she was more resolute than ever.

Facing Scaramouche's killing strike, she showed no trace of panic.

Just as his hand blade neared—

Bang!

A dull sound rang out.

A thick wall of water appeared before Furina. Scaramouche's deadly strike collided with the wall but was halted, as though punching the surface of a lake. It rippled but did not yield.

"Wait—no!"

Scaramouche's expression changed. He realized the obstruction wasn't just a wall of water—it was a shield!

In that moment of realization, another figure materialized in front of Furina: a humanoid Hydro Phantom clad in armor.

This figure, entirely water-blue, held a shield in one hand and a spiked mace in the other. It was the Hydro Knight.

Standing at two meters tall, the knight charged forward, ramming Scaramouche with its shield and making him stumble.

Wielding tremendous strength, the knight followed up with a crushing blow to Scaramouche's abdomen using its mace.

Boom!

The sheer power contorted Scaramouche's body into a U-shape before flinging him like a cannonball.

His body became a blur, hurtling away before smashing into a towering cliff, shattering its peak.

Crash!

He continued his trajectory, slamming into another cliffside with such force that it created a crater dozens of meters wide.

"Ahh!!!"

Feeling the immense force that struck his body, Scaramouche groaned in pain as he lay embedded in the rock.

Earlier, Furina's instinctive retreat had deluded Scaramouche into believing he could overpower a god.

When his first kick successfully struck Furina's head, the realization that he had injured a god filled him with an intoxicating sense of triumph.

Years of suppressed emotion found release in that moment.

He basked in that false euphoria, feeling validated as he relentlessly pursued Furina. Watching her flee in terror brought him unparalleled satisfaction.

But in just two moves—

One strike from the giant sword shattered his dreams of defeating a god.

The second blow from the spiked mace obliterated his fantasies, forcing him to recognize his own frailty and the vast chasm between him and divinity.

Just two moves reduced Scaramouche from a conceited aggressor to a battered fugitive.

Now embedded in the cliffside, he could clearly feel his body—a creation of a god—riddled with cracks in its skeletal framework after enduring these attacks.

Looking at Furina, now shielded by the massive Hydro Giant behind her and the smaller Hydro Knight in front, Scaramouche understood all too well: if the fight continued, he would die.

Buzz!

Hearing the Hydro Giant's sword slicing through the air as it descended toward him, he made his decision.

Without hesitation, he erupted with a surge of lightning, unleashing his full speed to flee.
