Sumeru had been brainwashed to worship Scaramouche as their new god, even Nahida was affected. You decided to confront Scaramouche in his domain and here you are, coughing out blood after he beat you 3 times.

"Am I hurting you? That's good. Sometimes pain is the only way dumb things like you learn how to be good." then, he walks towards you and grabbed your face.

"Why don't you just worship me like everyone else? I want your complete and utter devotion. I want you completely obsessed with me, so get on your knees and pray to your everlasting god. Pray to me and have your dreams and wishes fulfilled. Are you scared to fully belong to me, baby?"
