Waaaaah... What... what should I do? This is terrifying! This Navelette is so scary! Can I really refute his verdict? Will he see through my identity? ...┭┮﹏┭┮ Waaaah, Ryder...

Yu Guang glanced at Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled slightly at her and gave her a big encouraging look.

What are you laughing at?!

Why don't you do something useful?

( ̄ε(# ̄)☆╰╮( ̄▽ ̄///)

"Hmm!" After a brief standoff, Funina said loudly, "Very well, Vilette, as expected of the Supreme Judge I value. I think you also have doubts in your heart, don't you? Should you insist on your own justice, or should you bestow this justice upon those who deserve it?"

"Then, here comes Fucarus, Queen of the waters, the lands, the peoples, and the laws, to tell you!"

A card flew from her hand and landed in the air above the empty stage.

The card spun in the air, emitting a dazzling purple light.

Funina said softly, "Execute it, grant the pardon!"

[Divine Authority: Enforces judgment through the power of rules. A target is selected, and when the user's judgment receives majority support, the result will be enforced. Effective - Purple Special. Note: This rule is limited to use in the Tribunal and is limited to use by the Water Goddess, Funina.]

But the power of the rules permeated the entire courtroom, and the witnesses in the audience became the ones who dictated the course of the trial.

It seems that Funina is giving this verdict a dramatic twist, but in reality, it's the limit that Su Chen can do for her right now.

It was only after repeated attempts that a special purple card was obtained. Its use was restricted to certain locations and users, and the conditions for its use were extremely harsh, with even the outcome being unpredictable. However, its effect was correspondingly powerful—once it was used, it would become the sole judgment in this court of judgment.

The people in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, they were enveloped by a mysterious power that penetrated their very being, a power they could neither refuse nor resist.

"If possible, Aina should indeed be pardoned."

"Yes, after all, she has been fighting to protect those children until now."

"Although she was from the lower class, she did a really good job."

“It’s Melos and the others who deserve to die. Even nobles shouldn’t do such a thing.”

"I support the Water God's pardon of Aina."

"I support it too."

"I support it too."

"..."

Almost unanimously, the will converged in the purple card.

Navelette stared at the card in astonishment, sensing an irresistible power emanating from it... Was this the judgment of the God of Justice? No, this was a power beyond that of a god.

Navelette did not act rashly, and even silently cast her vote in her heart.

Maintaining the fairness of the trial was his duty and a matter of rational judgment, but that does not mean he was without a sentimental side.

Swish!

A purple shimmering light.

"The pardon is effective."

The power of the rule card was released, and at this moment, apart from Su Chen, even Vilette was affected by this power, uncontrollably proclaiming the final result—

"This court hereby declares that Aina Grace is not guilty."

......

ten minutes later.

The trial came to a close, and a verdict that the people of Fontainebleau talked about with great interest came to a complete end. No one could have imagined that the final result of the trial would be determined by a vote.

Even Navelette couldn't understand it, but he was happy to see this outcome, so he had no other thoughts about Funina's behavior.

only.

Navraett was somewhat bewildered. If justice could be achieved in this way, then what was the point of the trial?

Of course, Funina didn't care about any of that.

She was terrified when she tried to grant the pardon; her heart was in her throat. If the pardon failed in front of so many people, her authority as the water goddess would be completely ruined.

Fortunately, it was successful in the end.

To be honest, when Su Chen gave her this rule card before, Funina found it unbelievable. Forcibly interfering with the trial results was not just unreasonable, it was downright unreasonable.

She, Funina, is a reasonable person.

But after using it, I felt... hehe~ it's really good.

"Ryder, give me more of these cards in the future."

After the trial, a cup of afternoon tea is naturally needed to calm the nerves.

Funina sipped her tea with a contented expression and spoke to Su Chen, who was sitting opposite her.

"You wish," Su Chen chuckled. "I'm giving you this power so you can use it however you want. If you forcefully change the outcome of judgments according to your own will every time, the rules will become chaotic, and chaos is the beginning of everything. You don't want to see Fengdan destroyed in chaos, do you?"

"Huh? Is it that serious?" Fu Ningna OvO

Although I don't understand it very well, it sounds really impressive.

“Of course I wouldn’t use it carelessly, but that Villette guy is known for being selfless. Sometimes, a trial doesn’t necessarily bring justice.” Furna’s eyes dimmed as she thought of the children’s plight. “Besides… is justice delayed really justice? No matter what, those children will never come back.”

Su Chen laughed and said, "Better late than never, right?"

Funina rolled her eyes: "You're really good at comforting people."

"What I'm saying is true. If we don't want to see more people get hurt, then those who have the right to uphold justice need to work hard to create a stable order."

Those with power set the rules and bring order to everything.

Only a truly stable order can guarantee the normal operation of affairs.

The world has evolved from nothing to something, from chaos to order. Only orderly rules can reverse the inevitable fate of all things—towards chaos.

"Ordered...disorderly..." Su Chen murmured.

He seemed to understand what the template for this simulation was.

Chapter 130 Frinina's Ascension Deck [Seeking monthly votes and full subscription!]

Su Chen had always felt that the template for this simulation should be related to rules, and was a manifestation of some kind of rule power.

But in reality, if rules have no purpose, then their existence is meaningless.

Just like when Su Chen edited the rules, he formulated them around Funina, and each rule had a corresponding purpose.

Of course, this purpose is narrow.

If we expand this to the entirety of Fontaine or even the entirety of Teyvat, what is the purpose of the rules?

In Su Chen's view, rules should be a manifestation of order.

When the rules in an environment tend to stabilize, everything will operate in an orderly manner.

Rules → Order

Therefore, Su Chen suspected that his template corresponded to order rather than rules.

"Within all order lies the stable operation of rules, so my simulation should be order."

A peculiar feeling welled up in Su Chen's heart.

It's like a sudden enlightenment; all the questions that I couldn't understand before were answered at this moment.

[Template unlocking progress: 50%]

[Power of Rules level increased.]

Hearing the notification sound, Su Chen smiled inwardly.

"It seems we're heading in the right direction, but order isn't simply about stable rules... Let's take it slow, there's still time."

Any problem is easy at first but difficult later; Su Chen is prepared for a long struggle.

Anyway, he still has time, and he can slowly figure it out.

Su Chen then focused his attention on the power of the third-level rules.

Compared to Rank 2, it seems that only the number of blank cards has been increased this time, from three to ten.

Of course, there should be other implicit improvements as well. For example, the opening up of rule permissions is certain. Rules that could not be judged as successful in the past may now be successful.

"Hey~ Ryder, what are you doing?" Furness waved her hand in front of Su Chen's face. "Why are you suddenly spacing out? Are you too sleepy?"

Su Chen snapped out of his reverie and chuckled, "A little, I've been quite busy lately."

"Yes, definitely. I used to feel very tired too. I was always worried about being exposed by my people, and I would panic when unexpected situations arose."

"now what?"

"It's much better now, of course."

"Furina said with a grin."

Two months ago, she didn't dare to imagine what would happen next. Faced with so many doubts and so many people with ulterior motives, she would probably be sent to court immediately if she were exposed.

Impersonating the water god is such a serious crime; according to current laws, even being executed ten thousand times wouldn't be enough.

Living in constant fear, with no one to confide in, those days were truly hopeless.

But now things are all right, especially after this trial, probably no one will openly question her identity as the water goddess anymore.

Even if there are still those who disagree with her, they are a minority. Most people, even if they don't believe in her, will still maintain basic respect for her.

Those terrible days are gone forever.

For Su Chen, who brought about all these changes in her, Fu Ningna was sincerely grateful. In fact, she felt that it didn't matter whether she became a god or not, since her power was given by Su Chen. As long as Su Chen was there, perhaps the ancient prophecy could be resolved.

As for her, she just needs to do her 'daily work' every day.
