Genshin Impact: Towards Godhood

This is bound to cause a mental breakdown.

The elders of the tribes wanted to win a decisive battle. They united with Mishal, planning to play an alliance backstab with him and establish a victory that wouldn't require Rama's involvement.

Having a voice is important.

You need to win to speak loudly before the tribe's warriors.

Rama rarely shows up, but the tribe's warriors revere him as a god.

Because everything they enjoy was brought by Rama.

The elders worked hard to adjust various systems and plans to make the tribe more harmonious and stable.

But without Rama, they could accomplish nothing.

Without strength, they have nothing in the desert.

They wanted to change their submissive status before Rama by doing something without relying on his power.

But when they were about to succeed, Rama stepped in to stop them.

The reason: "Because of Candace, I must destroy the [Deshret's Relic]. I cannot accept them."

Why?

The [Deshret's Relic] and Candace are separated by Dehya. If you said this because of Candace, fine, but the [Deshret's Relic] only had "a bit" of conflict with a good friend of Candace.

At the very least, wait until we defeat the [Corps of Thirty]. You could tear up the treaty then.

Do you really like this woman so much? So much that you won't tolerate even a bit?

"Teeth will be gnashing."

Faruzan imagined the scene. "It's a bit unpleasant, but definitely interesting."

"It does seem like the actions of a tyrant."

She hummed lightly, but her face showed a smile.

Faruzan could tell Rama wasn't deeply emotionally invested. To him, Candace was more of a tool.

"As long as it's useful."

Rama was indifferent. "Ideally, we would directly crush them, but..."

Proficiency in elemental power can be improved through research, but the fastest way is through war.

He was doing this to create more trouble.

At present, the known elements include the Akademiya, the [Corps of Thirty], and the Fatui.

And potentially, Mondstadt and Inazuma could be drawn in.

They wouldn't need to do much. As long as they showed interest, they could question, "Why are you interfering in another country's internal affairs?"

The Dendro Archon chose me, yet you two foreign powers dare to meddle in Sumeru's internal matters?

If so, I'll be more brazen.

And conveniently, both Mondstadt and Inazuma are in chaos. Inazuma can be considered later, but Mondstadt... heh.

Although it's unlikely to spark a full-blown war between nations, having an excuse could allow intervention in their affairs.

The Doctor uses his defeat of Durin to lord over the Knights of Favonius, even recruiting for Snezhnaya in Mondstadt, forcing the Knights to endure it.

Given an excuse, an opportunity to fight Dvalin would surely boost proficiency.

The biggest opportunity in the storyline involving five nations is Liyue's released Osial. Fighting him has a safety net—if they can't win, Morax himself will step in to clean up.

Dvalin is the second opportunity, with the Anemo Archon ensuring the final outcome.

But challenging the Raiden Shogun alongside Lumine is a near-suicidal choice, not worth the risk for a bit of proficiency.

To reasonably intervene in others' stories, Lumine is an unaligned wanderer and very strong, so every nation welcomes her.

But not Rama. He bears a clear Sumeru tag, and nations with any sense of sovereignty wouldn't let a Sumeru official interfere in their internal affairs.

This is an identity issue.

If we directly crush them, we could only take down the [Corps of Thirty], and even the Fatui might change their stance.

These people are genuinely tough, but they can also speak more gently.

Giving them time to develop also gives us more opportunities.

Faruzan doesn't know Rama's true thoughts.

Giving the enemy time to grow isn't normal. Rama is only doing it because it's profitable.

And Faruzan, based on her understanding of Rama, sees it as solving all problems at once.

Solving the problem quickly, efficiently, and economically.

Rama glanced at the girl, his face calm.

Understanding Faruzan's thoughts wasn't difficult.

There was much gratitude, and during experiments, she had seen him often enough to face it calmly.

Choosing Rama wasn't hard to understand.

"Is this the technology of Khaenri'ah?"

Sitting at the core of the device, Faruzan stretched. "It's even harder than deciphering those mechanisms."

Even with Rama providing some of Khaenri'ah's technology, Faruzan still found it hard to understand.

This was normal.

These were almost completely different tech trees. Even a genius like Faruzan needed time to adapt.

"No need to delve into their technology. It's forbidden and will bring enormous trouble." Rama continued his work. "We only need to repair and drive it once."

Given time, Rama could create such large-scale war machines.

Khaenri'ah's technology... with alchemy as a supplement and the Akasha Terminal, Rama could develop a relatively Teyvat-compatible elemental technology without taking the same risks.

No, it's no longer a risk.

According to the storyline, everyone who broke taboos ended up dead.

This isn't just a risk. Either you aren't worth the attention of Celestia, or if you know these things but do nothing, you'll still end up dead.

Khaenri'ah was destroyed, showing Celestia's firm resolve.

That war probably sparked the rebellion of the Seven.

The gods love not just their people but humanity as a whole.

A war of annihilation can be explained, but cursing Khaenri'ah's people into Hilichurls doesn't make sense.

The Seven aren't puppets. They're victors of the Archon War, with their own ideas and the power to implement them.

Rama has no intention of delving into more backstories. He has a relatively complete path to ascend.

First, defeat the Akademiya, then take over the Akasha Terminal.

If not for seeking more opportunities, he would now be smashing the [Corps of Thirty] and heading straight to Sumeru City for a cordial exchange with the Six Sages.
