It's completely normal for Sano to lose. Rama didn't even regard Sano as an enemy at all.
This is indeed a good man.
Staring at the pressure of the Six Sages, he forcibly performed his duties as a Disciplinary Officer.
Sano does not pay attention to why a person does what he does, he only cares about what a person does. Wrong research will bring wrong answers.
This kind of answer will not only destroy the researcher, but may even harm more innocent people.
Just like the Red King's pursuit of a certain kind of power.
He successfully touched the power outside the world, at the cost of the desert people, himself, and the injured Great Merciful Tree King and Apep, the Dragon of Grass.
Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams, but when their dreams interfere with other people's lives, Sano will hit these scholars hard.
Fulfilling his duties is not because the discipline officer's discipline requires him to do so, but because more innocent people will not be killed.
With this creed, Seno became the sharp edge in the hands of the Six Sages to discipline scholars.
"Given his background as a desert citizen, his ability to reach this position is already the ultimate expression of his abilities."
"Although he didn't give Sha Hai anything in return, I still recognize his value."
But Sano may not need others to recognize him.
"This is a good man with a strong will. He abides by his own rules and abides by morals and laws." Rama praised the other party's performance beyond the specifications, "so he is really vulnerable."
"Good guys fighting bad guys require multiple times the talent and ability, otherwise there is really no way to win."
"How can a hero who is always active within the rules face off against a bad guy like me who says, 'Don't bring them to justice, I just want them to die'?"
Respect these people who are strong-willed and have faith.
Then use their beliefs and the rules they abide by to ruthlessly defeat them.
Rama always did this.
He has a set of rules of his own, but often, enemies can't find him, let alone hit him hard.
"Yeah, good people will lose. It's actually normal."
The god looked at Rama meaningfully.
"Should I learn from you? From the Fools and your patterns?"
"You also said that although Seno is a good person, he will only fail."
Nasida said plausibly, "Obviously, before protecting the Sumeru people, I should make a choice. Which path is best for them."
"A benevolent god or a selfish god, which kind of god does Xumi need more?"
"Broken jar, broken jar?" Rama rubbed the young god's hair, "If you ask me which kind of god Sumeru people need, then I can only answer kindness."
"Just being kind is the best answer for all mortals."
"In the history of Mondstadt, Dierkapian, who was known as the Solitary King of Towers and the Demon God of Tornadoes, used to form walls with strong winds to isolate himself from the cold invasion of the outside world."
"However, the early Mondlanders wanted to explore the world outside the wall. This was an early pursuit of freedom. Later, Diego Karapian failed, and they ushered in the new wind god Barbatos."
Barbatos used his divine power to change the terrain. It is said that what he could do, Diego Rapian should also be able to do.
According to various descriptions, this lonely king of the tower has actually completely occupied the seat of the God of Wind.
He and the Wolf King were the only ones left on the land of Mondstadt, and the Wolf King also failed. According to this development, Dickapian should be the real wind god of Mondstadt.
Then He lost.
"It seems that the reason for his failure is related to human expectations." Nasida said thoughtfully, "After all, you mentioned his story at this time, which can only be used to support your statement."
Rama did not refute, but said with a smile on his face: "There is another story that happened in Liyue."
"During the Demon God War, there was a Salt Demon God on the land of Liyue."
"He is a relatively weak god. He was gradually defeated in the war between demons and gods, and finally lost everything."
"And at the last moment, His followers chose to betray because they were disgusted with the weakness of God and the fact that God could only take them away."
"They killed the Demon God of Salt, and the kind Demon God gave up resistance. In the end, some of them died in the backlash caused by the death of the god, while a few people left alive and joined Liyue today, bringing Faith was given to Morax."
He moved his hand away and his expression returned to calm, "The story is over."
"So people need a god who is kind to them. If you become a god, once they make a mistake, they don't even need to make a mistake. There is a risk of being destroyed at any time."
"However, there is a clear gap between gods and humans. If you want to destroy them, they will never be able to resist. They can only kneel down and expect your mercy, or expect another god to stand up and stop you."
"Such a future frightens everyone, and they certainly need a benevolent and weak god."
Nacida sighed, "This can be considered a type of persuasion."
Dispelling a person's original thoughts is persuasion.
Instilling your own truth into another person is also a form of persuasion.
It seems Rama was the second type.
"This is true for people. In the final analysis, the structure of the seven ruling powers in the world will always guarantee relative peace."
Rama was noncommittal, "In this case, a weak god is much better than a strong and indifferent god."
Except for Dadalia's operation to wake up Osel, the rest of the story is relatively harmless.
In fact, it was the Tvarin attack in Mondstadt that had the greatest impact on ordinary people.
This dragon really circled Mondstadt several times. The chaos in the earth's veins led the monsters to riot. It is estimated that Tvarin was not willing to be cruel, otherwise the city of Mondstadt would have been rebuilt by now.
This was followed by the attack of Otheir.
As for the eye-hunting order and the national lock-down order launched by the general, and the god-making project of Sage Xumi, these are far from making it impossible for ordinary people to survive.
The most brutal war in Teyvat was probably the Demon God War. During that period, even the Demon God might not be able to guarantee his own life, let alone a mortal.
Secondly, it was thrown to the battle of annihilation of the country in Camrea, but this battle also had nothing to do with the ordinary people of the Seven Kingdoms. It was the God himself who took action.
But now, the relative peace among the seven mortal countries has made many people have no desire to fight.
When there is no external enemy as a threat, the choice is almost self-evident.
"But for the country of Xumi, you can learn a little from me or the fools, but you can't learn too much."
Rama teaches seriousness; "Look, our two families don't keep their word. This kind of behavior can only bring short-term benefits."
"You still have to keep your word. This involves a prestige issue."
"There are all kinds of other minor problems. It's not good to be the boss."
Nasida tilted her head and asked, "But you manage the desert very well."
"They are just afraid of me." Rama knew better. "Actually, I have not participated in governance and acceptance of fate at all. The elders decide who can take the position, and he can take the position."
"I tell everyone that the decision is mine, but in fact I never look at the list they report."
"I dare to agree to it after they report it. Anyway, if something goes wrong, I will deal with it together with the recommender."
This is not domination at all.
Rama didn't care about the strength of the sand sea, so he didn't hesitate at all when he used the knife.
This is not the self-confidence of monopolizing power, but the complete indifference to whether one rules or not.
Rama only needs resources and does not care about the support of the people or the reputation of the people. It just so happens that he still has the ability to do so.
But this is no normal rule.
Nacida sighed softly.
"I am also qualified to do this kind of thing."
Normal governance needs to take into account the hearts and minds of the people, but Rama never cared about these.
"You have the ability to communicate well with Seno, but you just tell him directly that I can take away your power and change the law. I must be right."
Right and wrong are judged by people.
Rama insisted that he was not wrong, and his words and deeds were so unruly that "you said I broke that law, I will just change it."
Not to mention an outsider, even Nasita herself thought that Rama was not being reasonable, he was just being unreasonable.
But in fact, he was right.
In doing so, he obviously did not take rule to heart.
"I read several ancient books when I was a child," Rama said with his hands hanging down, his face full of nostalgia. "The wind god blew away the ice and snow and flattened the mountain peaks, which resulted in the prosperity of Mondstadt today."
"The God of Rock dropped his rock spear on the sea and forcibly created an island in the vast ocean."
"The God of Thunder struck a divine punishment called the Wuxiang sword at the castle tower, and the mark of the sword extended from Narukami Island to Kaiji Island."
He lowered his eyes and looked at Nasida.
"I'm very confused. They have such powerful power, why do they still care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people?"
"Later I put aside this question. I thought that it would be better for gods to sympathize with humans than to treat humans like pigs and dogs. Since the result is good and the problem is beyond my ability to explore, then just pretend that this matter never happened. That’s fine.”
"Then, something suddenly occurred to me."
Nasita had already guessed the answer, but she did not interrupt Rama.
Rama whispered softly, as if he was telling a dream: "If I have the power of the devil, even a slightly weaker power, why should I care what they are thinking?"
He smiled and said: "They have dreams and things they want to do with all their lives. It sounds really exciting and makes people want to join them."
"Then what?" His expression suddenly calmed down and he asked in a low voice.
"With passion and dreams, what next?"
"Then the desert people successfully resisted?"
"So behold, my great god." Rama picked up the god and pushed Him to a high place.
Nasida floated in mid-air, overlooking the world outside Jingshan Palace.
"What can change everything is not dreams or passion, but the chips you have."
"Power, wealth...lots and lots."
"And on this continent, there is only one most expensive bargaining chip."
"That's power."
Nacida sighed: "I can't do it."
"Yes, so it's enough for you to choose kindness."
Rama was not surprised by this answer.
"This is the palace of wisdom."
Following the soft whispers of the gods, starting from the Jingshan Palace, the area called the Hall of Maya covers the entire Sumeru City.
When the people of Xumi City raised their heads, they could see the palace symbolizing divine power in the sky.
"Your Majesty Rama, are you talking to such a god?"
The excited desert residents felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them.
Rama has made many preparations. He described the greatness and irresistibility of the gods, and then passed this answer to the upper level of the sand sea through Babel.
They reached a consensus and the idea continued to be passed down.
Then everyone knew that winning the Order was only the most insignificant part of seizing the power to rule.
The more troublesome part is how to get the approval of the gods.
They knew it, but they didn't have much real sense about it.
The God of Grass is a god who only lives in legends. All people's respect for Him, just like Nasida said, completely comes from the Great Merciful Tree King, the God of Grass in the previous generation.
Such a divine deterrent is not enough.
But now, after witnessing the god's ability with their own eyes, they suddenly realized that getting the god's approval might be much more difficult than they expected.
Two voices faintly came from the sky, one was humble but the words were vague and almost completely inaudible.
The other voice was too gentle and could not even be heard as majestic.
"It turns out that when I inherited the power of the Great Ci Tree King, so many things happened in Sumeru."
This is the voice of God.
He paused for a moment, as if listening to the other person's words.
"Really? The Tree King did promise the Red King that he would accept the people of Shahai."
"The sea of sand is also the territory of Sumeru, and the desert people are also the people of Sumeru."
"What the six sages of the Teaching Council did is really a bit excessive."
The desert people relaxed a little.
The God of Grass recognized the identity of the desert people and denounced the behavior of the Six Sages.
This is enough to express His attitude.
The god paused for a moment, as if thinking about something.
"If this is the case, the desert people, who are also the people of Sumeru, have suffered countless disasters. The six sages who rule the Order are all rainforest people. In this way, it is indeed impossible to give a relatively fair judgment."
"But you have awakened. We all believe that when Sumeru returns to the rule of the God of Grass, all of us will have a fair and abundant life."
This is the voice of Rama.
Instead of mentioning his own power, he described a future of divine rule.
Such a compromise made many desert people lose their expressions.
Although they did not believe that God would really let Rama become an ordinary Sumeru man, Rama's attitude was a little more respectful, which was completely different from his usual attitude.
For Rama to behave like this, it was obviously the power of the gods that convinced him.
