...Apart from my Vision, I have two other forms of power.

[It's not something he's made public, which is precisely why he's so willing to spar and demonstrate his Vision abilities in the simulation room. The memory nonsense was difficult to deal with, but Childe is ready, at all times, for the truth to come out about him. To work with the same level of distrust and vitriol he encounters back in Teyvat--it would have been inconvenient to lose what he's built up, but nothing he's not used to.

People seeing his big villain speech about unleashing an ancient god to destroy a city? Meh. People seeing his secret Triple-Layered Consommé of powers? NYET.]


But my Vision is the only one that I can use without consequence. My Delusion, like any other, has a chance of backfiring and killing me at any time. And my Foul Legacy Transformation [(pictured: me sitting on my hands about localizations)] takes an enormous toll on my body every time I use it. Back home, I'm more likely to die from either of them than I am to be defeated by another.

[It sounds arrogant, and perhaps it is. But he doesn't seem like he's trying to brag about his strength. This is just the relevant viewpoint he's working with, the perspective of a man who brushes against death all the time--and not only his enemies'.]
