Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme

Furina leaped from her chair to the floor the moment she heard that the Night Raid squad wanted to join the Maison Gardiennage. Her heterochromatic eyes sparkled with excitement.

Finally, something interesting besides judging criminals!

After watching so many vile, animalistic sinners over the past few days, her appetite had long since diminished.

According to the information provided by the Heavenly Principle, Night Raid was a key group in the original future, responsible for toppling this corrupt empire's rule.

Each member could be considered a hero of humanity, even if they fell slightly short of being true heroes.

In her five hundred years in Fontaine, she had encountered only a handful of humans more exceptional than the Night Raid squad.

Waving her small hand decisively, she announced:

"Prepare my carriage! I will personally meet this world-famous assassin organization, Night Raid, and test their sense of justice."

The Maison Gardiennage staff respectfully replied, "Yes, Lady Furina."

Outside the Palace, in the Square

The Night Raid squad stood in the square, waiting.

After seeing the Maison Gardiennage recruit new members, they had decided to try joining today. However, unlike ordinary recruits, they weren't subjected to a simple test of justice and admitted.

Instead, they were told to wait, as their unique status required approval from higher authorities.

Who were these higher authorities? Could it be Lady Furina, the Avatar of the God of Justice? Or perhaps Lord Neuvillette, the Chief Justice?

Brand, the spiky-haired man, whispered to Najenda, "Boss, do you know what's going on? Could it be because we're assassins, and they think we're guilty?"

Mine scoffed, crossing her arms. "Hah! What nonsense are you spouting? We may be assassins, but we've only ever killed those who are irredeemably evil. The God of Justice wouldn't convict us for that."

Though she had worked as an assassin, Mine had never taken the life of an innocent person.

Lubbock, the green-haired man, scratched his head. "Maybe it's because we're Teigu users. They probably want someone higher up to evaluate our sense of justice."

Leone, arms crossed, patted her chest confidently. "What are you all overthinking for? They just told us to wait for a bit. If we were guilty, the Maison Gardiennage would've arrested us already."

Akame, her expression stoic as usual, nodded in agreement. She hadn't sensed any hostility, and the atmosphere was as reassuring as ever.

Najenda glanced around at the people chatting and laughing, seemingly unconcerned about the Night Raid members' identities.

This was completely different from the atmosphere of the past. The change was likely because all criminals in the city had been eradicated, allowing the citizens to let down their guard against strangers.

The entire city was now populated only by the innocent. In just over ten days, it had reached the point where no one even bothered to pick up discarded belongings from the streets.

It was a scene that felt almost dreamlike, something she never thought she would witness, even in her wildest dreams.

Just yesterday, she had spoken to the Revolutionary Army's headquarters to resign her position as Night Raid's leader and formally withdraw from the organization.

The commander of the Revolutionary Army had cursed her out furiously, but Najenda remained indifferent.

The Revolutionary Army was not yet a match for the Empire's forces, let alone capable of standing against a divine power.

Over the past few days, the actions of the God of Justice had left her in awe. Wherever the God of Justice's followers arrived, all sin was put on trial.

Corruption, injustice, and darkness were completely eradicated.

And the Revolutionary Army? For the sake of collecting taxes from a single city, they had collaborated with some of the Empire's most infamous executioners, turning a blind eye to the plight of the oppressed and exploited citizens.

The Revolutionary Army's leadership sought only to replace the Empire as the ruling power.

After hanging up on them, Najenda decided not to bother returning her Teigu. Instead, she had brought the entirety of Night Raid here.

The sound of measured footsteps broke the Night Raid members out of their thoughts, and they quickly turned their attention to the palace gates.

They saw rows of Maison Gardiennage personnel march out in perfect formation, lining up on either side of the gates.

With bewildered expressions, they watched as these enforcers stopped in front of them, taking on a posture that clearly signaled they were welcoming honored guests.

And then, from the palace gates, emerged a girl dressed in attire radiating natural nobility and divine elegance.

Their hearts skipped a beat as Furina approached with graceful, measured steps, her gaze falling upon the stunned members of Night Raid.

Hehe, caught off guard, huh?

You didn't expect the God of Justice to personally assess your sense of justice, did you?

Furina couldn't help but laugh to herself as she took in their astonished expressions.

The citizens outside the palace, who had gathered daily to worship and pray of their own accord, became visibly excited the moment they saw the God of Justice appear.

They immediately dropped to their knees, clasping their hands together in prayer.

Regardless of how Furina herself might perceive her role, to the citizens she had saved, she was an object of boundless reverence.

Not only would they not tolerate a single negative word spoken about the God of Justice, but even showing indifference toward her could invite condemnation—or at the very least, a public shaming by the more fervent believers.

"Wow! The Divine One! We see the Divine One again!"

"Oh, Divine One, please bless my child to grow up healthy."

"Thank you, Divine One, for bringing justice to the world."

"Thank you, Divine One, for giving me a voice and fairness."

"Oh, great Divine One!"

Furina had grown accustomed to it. No matter what she said, the citizens would only offer her devout prayers. If she approached them, they would tremble with reverence and awe.

The members of Night Raid, coming back to their senses, quickly knelt down just like the citizens.

It wasn't solely because Furina was a god, but because of what they had witnessed over the past few days in the city and the surrounding towns.

She was exactly as she proclaimed herself to be: the Queen of the People and the Laws. Everything she did was for the happiness of the people.

They were filled with genuine respect for this embodiment of the God of Justice, Lady Furina.

Brand swallowed hard, his heart practically leaping into his throat. "It really is the god coming to test our sense of justice."

Mine gritted her teeth and whispered harshly, "Don't speak, idiot!"

Najenda added in a low voice, "Don't offend the god."

Lubbock muttered, "Exactly. Even if the god doesn't mind, I'd rather not drown in a sea of the citizens' spit."

Furina walked forward gracefully, spreading her arms in a saintly pose.

"Ahahaha, Night Raid, the assassin organization that ends sinners in this world of darkness. You didn't expect this, did you? That I, a god, would personally come to test the justice in your hearts."

The so-called "test of justice" was merely a misunderstanding among the citizens. In truth, the Maison Gardiennage and the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol would simply investigate the life history of anyone they recruited.

Anyone with a dubious past would never be allowed to join these institutions.

"The fact that you have come to revere justice proves that you hold justice in your hearts and are truly righteous individuals. I can clearly see your piety and sense of justice."

"Of course, of course, you may be wondering now if you are worthy to stand before and be tested by a god. Such self-doubt is natural."

"After all, how can mere mortals fathom the perspective of a god?"

"Be honored, rejoice, for the test of justice that I, the avatar of the God of Justice, am about to bestow upon you will be something you remember for the rest of your lives."
