A shockwave of geo resonates from within Noelle, which spans throughout Teyvat, shaking the ground with a tremor. All bells and gongs out of metal then chimed loudly, invoking fear to everyone in the vicinity.

"Y...You... No, it can't be... She is the one... The Maid-Knight from that time..." Childe gulps, as Noelle slowly approaches Dottore.

However a few agents then blocked her way, and pointed their blades at her. Noelle just lifted one finger up, as their blades were suddenly manipulated that they were then stabbing themselves in their necks, causing large sprays of blood to come out.

"It... It's no use, we can't fight!"

"Get up now, Childe!"

"You don't understand, doc! We can't!"

An Electrohammer Vanguard and an Anemoboxer then went into the fight. The Electrohammer swings towards Noelle, only for Noelle to catch it with two fingers, and she throws it back to his head, blowing it up in the process. The anemoboxer then tries to land one anemo imbued punch, which was then stopped when Noelle grabbed his wrist, twisted it, and with one punch to his torso she carves a hole. She pulls out her punching arm back, and the hole starts to eat him away from the inside, turning him into dust.

"Everyone... Stop this now, we need to retreat! We can't win this battle-" Childe said between gulps before he had his hair pulled by Dottore rather harshly.

"Running away is no solution, Childe! If we don't destroy this wench, she will ruin our operations for sure!"

"We'll never do that, can't you see what happened to our agents just now!? She's indestructible, she is the new Geo Archon!"

"I can't believe how cowardly you are acting, Childe, NOT YOU! GO, You're disgusting!"

Dottore then lets Childe go, as he went to charge towards Noelle. Childe falls down to the ground, his legs shaking like crazy.

"Why? Why does he go on attacking this monster? Why? WHY!?"

Dottore went in and executed a punch with his mechanical arm across Noelle's face. Noelle however is barely dented by it. Dottore gulped, before continuing by rapidly punching Noelle in the torso. However, he was then grabbed in the leg and Noelle lifts him up in the air, before she punches him in his crotch before tossing him back down.

"My future... She punched me in my future... Why is she punching me in my future..." He said, lying on the ground with a squeaky voice.

Dottore is then met with a stomp to his head, which then exploded in a bloody mess.

"Not so confident now, doc?"

Noelle then turned her attention to Childe, and asked him "Where is Aether?"

"How would I know...? I-I just got here!"

"Liar."

Noelle then started to approach, but then two cicin mages blocked her path.

"Master Childe, retreat for now!"

"But you..."

"Just go!"

Childe then teleports away from the city, as he hears the screams of the two cicin mages behind him. From the distance he sees golden light begins to soar to the sky multiple times, which were signs of Noelle using her power. The fight in the city becomes more of a one-sided affair as more Fatui agents try to stop Noelle from getting to the Akademiya, and the Eremites loyal to Azar hopelessly tries to capture Noelle, let alone tranquilize her. 

Her body deflects any physical attacks that landed on her, as her body begins to glow in a golden light before a huge explosion occurs. The Fatui agents and soldiers who wielded their elemental weaponry then looked at their delusion holders, which are now blank. Her geo attacks disabled the delusions that they were using to fight. The Cicin Mages drop down to the streets and cowered away as they were unable to control their elemental cicins again, while the rest attempted to use their own weapons, such as blades, hammers and gauntlets to try to at least inflict some damage on the Maid-Knight. All failed hopelessly.

Meanwhile, outside the city...

"All of the agents are fighting but me...."

Childe then growled, and thus he activates his delusion as he cried out, "I AM TARTAGLIA!" Before he then reopens the portal and dashes towards Noelle with his electro imbued spear.

"I, the 11th of the Fatui Harbingers challenge you!"

He then swings his spear, only for Noelle to dodge by tilting her head to the side, and she forcefully grabs Childe by the throat, before asking him again.

"Where is Aether!?"

"I will not... Lose..."

Noelle raises her right fist slowly.

"Last opportunity..."

"I am a Fatui Harbinger...! Here I come... Here I come!"

And with one right hook, Childe was smashed into a wall, which then crumbles over him.

"Aether... Where are you...? I need to protect you..." Noelle said in monotone, as she then slowly walks towards the Akademiya.

Along the way, she faced against more Fatui agents and mages, whom she tore apart with little ease whilst still unarmed. At the same time, Aether finally meets with Nahida in the waking world.
