Welkin in Imposter Au

When the Imposter God starts to impersonate the Creator, little Welkin immediately knows something is wrong. Welkin doesn't feel the same connection as they do when she recieves money from the actual Player. "You're not my Player! :((" Frustrated that the other characters will not listen, she refuses to give anyone blessings no matter how high the price. And because Welkin's power is connected to the material gifts they receive, they grow weaker, unable to fight against the Impersonator directly. But their 'sibling' Teyvat also feels their anger. Storms become harsher, and when lightning strikes, it only targets the Impersonator, and whichever unfortunate acolyte assists them for the day. After those stunts, the Impersonator charges Welkin with treason against the Creator with little resistance from the Archons. The Impersonator stripped the Welkin statues from their temples and decreed that the Welkin Moon was to no longer be recognized as a lucky deity. The now weak Welkin could only weep as she was thrown into Sanctuary of Surasthana to be monitored by the God of Wisdom, Nahida, waiting for the day for you to finally arrive.

(Let me know if you want a part 2. I had fun writing this :) 🪼)

11:30 PM. YOUR WONDERWALL AWAITS.

xiao x gn! reader, a drabble.

info: dystopian x cyberpunk au, inspiration from progenitor animation with albedo on youtube by dillongoo, the maze runner series & cyberpunk edgerunners!

tw: you are a robot here, minor mentions of injuries as well as blood loss, possible ooc xiao since this is my first time writing him, xiao is emotionally constipated, open ended.

a/n: just a random thing i thought up of while thinking late at night. very short and extremely unedited, just letting my brain run in peace. enjoy~

a normal summer day, that’s all that you were hoping for today and that is the exact opposite of what you were getting currently as you ran away from the fatui, just what was their fascination with you when you were a simple human? so utterly wrong that you were for thinking the simplest thought after being thrown out for the chip that you harbored in your neck, the code to the cure of psychosis that was hidden inside of you by one of the war generals, nahida of wisdom.

you knew that, of course, it would not be long before you were found out as a realistic human ai so you kept running until you were able to find a way to a desolate area. it was rather beautiful, still with the sun around perfectly in place between the rather teal trees. you could tell they were dying slowly, the color of the leaves were turning a slight gray. the crinkles from the leaves that you had made were too great for another person who was here with you. you hadn’t realized that another fatui soldier had snuck up on you as you pulled out your rapier, fast and quick — just as the pace of your running.

leave, begone. i don’t wish to hurt you.

a voice spoke quietly to you before it vanished instantly, it sounds as if it was all around you, like it had owned the domain that you had suddenly entered. were you safe here if it seems less deteriorating than the rest of the world? you came upon an oasis of some kind, away from the fatui at that. your inner thoughts started consuming you once you smelled the fresh air that had been contrasting to your usual murky, smoke filled air. you knew this had turned into some kind of guilty pleasure before you noticed a blade cut your cheek as somebody appeared with the knife in the grass below you.

“i knew it.” he spoke quietly before a lance appeared in his hands, the sharp end of his weapon now starting to dig into your clothes. “what are you doing here, robot? you shouldn’t be able to make it to such a place as my temple.” he glared before released his blade as you let out a small breath of relief. no paradise could be free of punishment for you somehow, right? “K0S-M0S, from the current war, i’ll ask again. what pathetic reason are you here for now?”

you managed to develop a sense of empathy over the years as you tried to come up with several possibly solutions to speak your words. finally, a sound solution to speak to a stranger came to your mind. “i come in peace to run away from the war, i’m tired of being used for the good of mankind. i seek refuge for only an hour to catch my breath.”

the forest green hair male could only chuckle slightly in pity as he swung his blade to face upward next to him. “these ai are getting smart, master zhongli was right about this much. you’ve even gained a personality at that. is that even real blood?”

you then carressed your wound at his words, had something happen to you overnight? this blood was black and perhaps, you were able to bleed finally. you became human without realizing the oil that spilled from your cheek, in shock even — the male could tell. you shook your head for a moment as you sternly look towards him, “that… wasn’t supposed to happen. though, you work for zhongli so i can only expect you have some knowledge of my existence, are you planning to report me?” you stated as you got in a ready stance for fighting.

“master zhongli faked his death several years ago in order to prevent the war from coming here and i, as his protector, have a sworn duty to get rid of outsiders. perhaps if another were here to stop you, you would have been lucky.” he stated before getting in his own ready stance, swiftly attacking… and yet it never came.

“that’s enough general alatus.” a deep voice spoke as the male had almost made a precise point, knowing exactly where each unit had their cores. you had to thank the older gentleman that had saved your life just now. “we have a contract in order to not kill (y/n), they are within safe grounds.” he stated before stepping down each step of the gold and white front of the temple with his hands behind his back as he had a good look at you.

“zhongli… what are you doing here? nahida had said to lay low but i hadn’t been aware that it was this low.” you raised an eyebrow before being knocked to the ground by this ‘general atalus’ as he hit your legs with the back of his lance, just to temporarily put you at a disadvantage.

“i believe that you being here shows enough proof of what nahida can be capable of, the outside was never where you belonged and the fatui is deadset on using you to exploit the process of psychosis quicker with that chip in your neck as well.” zhongli had try his best to give you an explanation with the best of his abilities as the god of contracts before gesturing to his knight in shining armor, “xiao, let’s give our guest a place to rest for a moment. you will be watching over them as they are re-energizing for the day.”

xiao could only sigh at the change of events in his own life to now, he sworn to zhongli that he would do anything in his power to protect the ideals that his master had given him as a goal once the war was over. once xiao wrapped your arm around his own and pulled you close, you both ended up walking up the stairs. he then realized how ineffective it would be before picking you up bridal style — to which you felt your heart beat a bit.

heart?

you had a feeling that there was more than nahida was letting on now. why was this all so realistic all of the sudden? she has too many questions to answer once you got back into the regular world. seeing as now you had a place to sleep again, you decided to take into it and sink yourself into the bed before seeing that you were being watched again.

“what are you staring at? get some rest already.” he stated before looking out towards the night sky, “zhongli said to watch over you so i’m following orders.” he kept his gaze out before you noticed it too, a code written on his neck too, A1ATUS.

sure he was rather rough with his words but you would be in good hands, knowing that this man was a protector in tevyat’s war too and for justice at that. you were able to close your eyes and cuddle up in the blankets, all while xiao had been close by to watch over you and protect you. perhaps he had felt that you and him were rather similar in this world to understand such peace finally?

okay i did the sumeru archon quests almost a week ago :) so here's my thoughts:

nahida thoughts:

i'm surprised that people have said that rukkha and kusa aren't the same person when they... literally are?

i understand the whole "tree, branch, replant" analogy that they used but it's pretty obvious when kusanali and dottore chat with each other

like in the same way that we acknowledge each of the doctor's segments to ultimately still be the same person, dottore; kusanali is branch (read: a segment) of rukkhadevata (specifically the "purest" branch: the one that wasn’t afflicted with withering, the one that closest to the prime avatar of irminsul [read: rukkhadevata])

and even the whole 'dottore erasing his segments' thing was a parallel to irminsul erasing rukkhadevata. because having two (or multiple) beings of the same nature goes against the laws of wisdom in teyvat — which kind of makes me wonder if thats why one twin isn't labelled the same as the other even though they both were in khaenri'ah and originally came to the world together

i'm curious as to why kusanali is still "lesser lord" if there was never a "greater lord" in everyones memories - either it's another instance that irminsul can’t be completely changed (like the balladeer/wanderer's situation) or she's just "lesser" because she's not as powerful as she used to be and lost her memories

which isn't even that weird considering rukkhadevata literally did that during the deshret thing as seen in kasala's memories (though probably without the memory loss) it makes me wonder how many samsaras and avatars irminsul has had?

cyno thoughts:

uncle anpu??? why is the village chief not related to cyno when cyno has so many anubis associations and anubis is also named anpu 😔

okay but seriously did y'all see the way he just stared and lingered in kasala's tomb?? i really can’t tell if he's a descendant of kasala, his reincarnation, or maybe the "temple of silence" affiliation that he has was just the group of priests in general and their descendants

and i especially find it interesting how he personally seemed to contemplate a lot more than anyone else when he found out that kusanali is an active god. and after irminsul was changed so that rukkha's life is credited to kusa, he says "it has always been my duty to protect you"

always? before the irminsul thing, he never thought much about her at all. ***unless he's saying that as a priest of rukkha, now being a "priest" of kusa*** (wink wink)

anyways i love him, he's great. just wished he cared more about the desert people considering he's from the desert

other thoughts:

i thought shouki no kami would be a lot harder but instead the fatui before getting to him was the hardest thing

dottore really just left scara without a second thought rip

alhaitham i love you but i can not believe you didn’t take the grand sage role (though honestly i think that role should belong solely to nahida)

i didnt particularly care about dunyarzad like most people did

the samsara thing was so cool

nilou i love you, you're precious

dehya really just left at the end - i get that she's a mercenary but still

dori was completely unimportant rip- honestly candace was too
