Nahida was touched by the small team's efforts to save her, but no one would believe it wasn't dangerous for them to shake the Akademiya, a large tree, with their strength.
These were all her loyal followers, and if even one of them was lost in this operation, she would be heartbroken.
Besides, she had already been secretly rescued by Miyashiro, so wouldn't it be redundant to let them continue to put themselves in danger?
She looked at Miyashiro with a hint of confusion and asked, "Mr. Miyashiro, since you've already rescued me, why do you still let them put themselves in danger?"
Miyashiro merely said indifferently, "In their plan, stopping the Akademiya's God Creation Project is their ultimate goal; overthrowing the rule of the Akademiya's sages is secondary. Even rescuing you is for the sake of defeating the new God in the subsequent Archon War.
Moreover, the chaos in Sumeru is, in the final analysis, a disturbance caused by people, so it should naturally be resolved by the people themselves.
This is a necessary process for Sumeru, and also an excellent learning opportunity for you. In their operation this time, Sumeru will expose many problems, which will be beneficial for your future governance.
Additionally, winning with fewer numbers, and the weak overcoming the strong—these are the best examples of human wisdom. As Sumeru's God of Wisdom, don't you want to witness how their plan is executed step by step?"
Nahida, who had been listening intently and seriously to Miyashiro's profound and philosophical words, showed a speechless expression when she heard the last reason.
The explanations before were so grand, but perhaps the last sentence was the real reason? If you want to watch the excitement, just say so!
Nahida: "Then, are we just going to keep watching like this? Should we offer them some help?
After being freed from confinement and having the Doctor's blockade on the Akasha lifted, I can directly establish contact with the Akasha core and operate it. With some further adjustments, I can revoke the sages' permissions and restore the Akasha to its original state, operable only by a God."
Upon hearing this, Miyashiro thought, isn't this just formatting?
This Akasha thing is really advanced. While Inazuma, Liyue, and Mondstadt are still agricultural civilizations, Sumeru has directly produced a supercomputer. This is simply a dimensionality reduction strike; I really want to install one in Inazuma too.
Miyashiro pondered for a moment and replied, "You can prepare this operation in advance, but don't execute it too early. Alhaitham's plan seems to involve the use of the Akasha. If you help prematurely, you might actually hinder them.
As for you, your most crucial role is to win the battle against that new God."
Upon hearing this, Nahida's face showed a hint of awkwardness: "Battle? Uh, I must admit something. Although I am now using my body as a God, in terms of combat… I'm really not very good at it. If there's an unavoidable situation where I need to fight, Mr. Miyashiro, now that I've signed a spiritual contract with you, could you help me then?"
Miyashiro chuckled, "If I were to directly intervene, it would be a bit too cruel for Balladeer, wouldn't it? Don't worry, you must believe in your own strength and Lumine's. If it truly comes to an extremely critical situation, I will step in to help.
Alas, that child Balladeer always wants to recreate a piece of the Archon War, but if the scene were truly recreated, with his foul mouth and strength, he would definitely be the first loser to be eliminated. When the time comes, I'll give him a taste of Uchiha's shock, so he can learn his lesson."
Miyashiro's sneer made Nahida a little scared, while Balladeer, meditating and adapting to the power of a God in the Divine Innovation Workshop, vaguely sensed a certain malice, which instantly sobered him up. He scanned his surroundings suspiciously but found no abnormalities.
Balladeer secretly wondered in his heart, "Strange? What kind of ant dares to curse me?"
The highly anticipated Sabzeruz Festival finally arrived.
For the Akademiya, this was a very important festival. Scholars from Sumeru's six academies would input their research findings and decrees from this period into the Akasha.
For the small team saving the Dendro Archon, this was a crucial day for the success or failure of their plan.
And for Miyashiro and Nahida, who were observing from the Kamui Dimension, it was simply a live broadcast.
In short, Lumine and Paimon, who openly entered Azar's office, successfully 'walked into a trap' and entered the Akademiya's detention room. They attempted to re-establish a connection with the out-of-contact Nahida using Alhaitham's modified Akasha Terminal.
Meanwhile, Alhaitham, playing a double agent, took advantage of the chaos to successfully swap the canned knowledge decrees about to be input into the Akasha.
After the Akademiya finished inputting the canned knowledge, Nilou, arranged by the Zubayr Theater staff, performed a wonderfully brilliant dance at the Akademiya's main entrance, earning applause from many young scholars.
Upon learning of this, Azar subconsciously issued the recently input Art Ban to the Guards through the Akasha. However, the Akasha's command became: Lesser Lord Kusanali has escaped the Sanctuary of Surasthana; immediately proceed to search the city.
Because Sumeru's Guards had grown accustomed to relying on the Akasha, their curiosity continuously diminished, and their ability to discern information greatly decreased. They had come to regard the information provided by the Akasha as gospel and would not question it.
Coupled with the fact that this matter involved the major event of Lesser Lord Kusanali's escape, this directly mobilized all the Guards in Sumeru City.
Nahida, in the Kamui Dimension, watched as Sumeru City's entire security force was cleared from the Akademiya's security with a single misleading piece of information, without a single soldier. Amidst her shock, her mind fell into deep thought.
But before Nahida could ponder for long, the large-scale, lively scene unfolding before them made Miyashiro burst into laughter, and even Nahida, the God of Wisdom, found it a bit hard to comprehend.
A dark-skinned little boy was dressed up as Lesser Lord Kusanali, and there were so many ridiculous details that Miyashiro couldn't bear to look, especially with the genuine Nahida sitting beside him; the contrast was simply too stark.
However, since Sumeru City's Guards had never seen Lesser Lord Kusanali's true face, this counterfeit Lesser Lord Kusanali actually proved effective, successfully luring squad after squad of Guards into the Grand Bazaar, where they were ambushed by Rahman, Dehya, and others who had been lying in wait, catching them like turtles in a jar.
The Thirty Personal Guards, as Sumeru City's official mercenary organization, had for years enjoyed a comfortable life in the leisurely city with hefty salaries. Their will to fight and their combat methods had long since atrophied, making them a laughingstock among the Eremites.
Although the Thirty Personal Guards had the advantage in numbers, they were no match for Rahman and Dehya, who easily wiped them out.
Nahida looked at such a weak security force and couldn't help but fall into deep thought again. Had Sumeru City truly been protected by these people all these years? But what could such Guards possibly protect?
It's truly a miracle that Sumeru City has enjoyed so many years of peace!
Just as Nahida was deep in thought, Miyashiro patted Nahida's shoulder and said, "Their operation is approaching its climax, Nahida. Are you ready to take the stage?"
Nahida closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her gaze was filled with determination.
