Chapter 172 - The Gnosis

Paimon spread her hands. "We just wanted to let her see the real Dunyarzad's condition."

Dehya looked around. "The real Dunyarzad? Where? And who are you talking to?"

Nahida sighed. "I told you, you two are special. Others cannot see me or this Dunyarzad."

Dehya looked around as if sensing something. She stared at the empty bed and said, "Could it be... over there?"

Nahida was also surprised. "To have such strong perception... Do you have invisible antennae or something?"

[Ganyu: Antennae... mine do not seem to have any sensory function.]

[Paimon: Ganyu also has horns. They look like goat horns.]

[Cloud Retainer: Ganyu's mother was a qilin. Those are qilin horns.]

[Nahida: I was referring to insect antennae, which have very powerful sensory functions.]

[Paimon: I see. Like an Onikabuto.]

[Dehya: This is probably a warrior's intuition. If someone were lying in ambush for me, I could sense the killing intent in advance.]

[Paimon: Following your intuition... so that is what it means?]

[Lumine: Impressive.]

Dehya pressed further, "Miss Dunyarzad seems to be lying here, does she not? How is she doing?"

Paimon said, "She is very ill right now, and she has essentially lost consciousness. How did you know she was here?"

Dehya extended a hand. "I can sense her presence, and what feels like regret or unwillingness. What exactly happened?"

Paimon said, "So, do you believe what we said now? The Sabzeruz Festival is indeed repeating."

Lumine, Paimon, and Dehya then discussed the matter.

...

[Paimon: Fortunately, Dehya's intuition is very strong. Otherwise, since she could not see Nahida or Dunyarzad, it would have been very difficult to explain everything.]

[Dehya: Without this livestream perspective, the loop would indeed be very difficult to understand.]

[Furina: In a loop, being the one with memories is the most painful thing.]

[Paimon: That seems to be true.]

[Yae Miko: I wonder if Sumeru's dreams can trap youkai. I would very much like to have a lucid dream myself.]

[Nahida: I can help you with that. Though I am still weak now, helping you have a lucid dream is something I can do.]

[Lumine: Nahida, do you have the Gnosis?]

[Nahida: My Gnosis was taken by the Akademiya and is being used to sustain the Akasha.]

Paimon asked, "So you suspect the Sages are behind this?"

Dehya nodded. "Yes. The Sages have always been against us. Who knows if they are using the Akasha to cause trouble on this day?"

Paimon said, "Yes. Apart from the deities, only the Sages of the Akademiya in Sumeru would have the ability to cause such a large-scale strange event."

"Could there be some secret within the Akasha Terminal?"

Lumine looked at Nahida. "Do you have any information about the Akasha?"

Paimon added, "Yes, Nahida. When you awakened our memories, you used something that looked like a Divine Knowledge Capsule. At the very least, you must know something about the Akasha."

Nahida explained, "The Akasha runs on the Gnosis. It is the manifestation of the God of Wisdom's power. It integrates the wisdom of all the people and bestows knowledge upon them."

Paimon was shocked. "So Sumeru's Gnosis is used to power the Akasha? So that is how it works. No wonder the Akasha is so amazing."
