Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

In the consciousness space, Fukaros's consciousness connected with Su Chen, and she said, "Now is not the time, Ryder, what exactly are you going to do?"

Su Chen smiled slightly: "I didn't do anything."

"Nobody believes you!" Fucaros said with a headache. "Ryder, I beg you, please end this farce and make that strange card disappear, or there will really be problems."

The rule card locked her aura in place; ordinary people couldn't detect it, but beings at the Seven Gods level would definitely be able to sense it.

Not to mention the other gods, even Navelette, who was sitting on the judgment seat at this moment, sensed Fucarus in the oracle through the [Original Sin]. However, he was aware of Su Chen's plan, so he guessed that this was probably the true meaning of judging the water god.

“This is not a farce, Fucarus, it never has been,” Su Chen said calmly. “This is a sacred trial, though not the one you expect. I’ve said before, since you’ve chosen to conceal everything, I will resolve these issues in my own way.”

"But you'll mess everything up!"

"So, what kind of salvation do you expect?" Su Chen countered. "Is it sacrificing yourself to save others? I used to think that this kind of self-sacrificing heroism was a helpless choice, perhaps it was not bad to give life a noble value... But, Fucarus, you are also afraid, aren't you? When death is near, you are also afraid of the arrival of that moment. You saved everyone, but who will save you?"

"I..."

Fukaros lowered his head, his eyes dim: "This is my mission, this is what Agolia expects of me. As long as the people of Fontaine can be saved, then my mission will be complete."

"I'm not asking you that question. I'm asking you, Fucaros, do you want to live?"

Fukalos was taken aback.

She saw Su Chen's calm and profound gaze, and the word "want" almost slipped out of her mouth.

She wanted to live, so much so. She didn't need the authority of a god; she just wanted to live like an ordinary person, to walk on the earth like an ordinary person—walking through streets, seeing the prosperity of humanity, walking through meadows, seeing the lushness of nature, walking through the world, seeing life as a song.

But this is not allowed for those who bear the burden of guilt.

"Fukaros, do you want to live?" Su Chen asked again.

"I..."

As Fukalos struggled, a figure entered the opera house.

"The crime you want is here."

The servants went to the stage of judgment, followed by the Fools, who pushed in four heavy stone slabs.

"She is...it seems to be a servant of the Fools."

"The Fools? What are they doing here?"

What did she bring?

Although a visit to Fontaine as a diplomatic envoy should have been big news, the trial of the water god meant that most people were completely unaware of the Fools' visit.

Facing everyone's gaze, the servant calmly said, "I have brought the truth, the truth that the water god has concealed."

The four stone tablets exude an ancient aura.

On the bench, having tolerated the servant's unauthorized entry into the courtroom, his gaze fell upon the stone tablets, a slight ripple appearing in his calm eyes.

“Traveler, as someone from outside Fontaine, I think it would be better for you to witness and reveal all of this.” The servant looked at Ying, who was sitting next to Su Chen.

Ying: OvO

That's the expression she has right now.

Why is she involved?

"Go ahead," Su Chen said with a smile. "Just consider it a favor, otherwise the others might not be able to handle the shock of revealing the truth."

Ying nodded. Having received the mission of 100 Mora, she decided to go for it.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ying walked onto the stage.

Navilette then stepped down from the judge's bench and had the stone tablet brought onto the stage.

Four enormous stone tablets, covered with the marks of time's erosion, but thanks to the added power, everything recorded therein is clearly visible.

When Navelette saw the four stone tablets, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

He turned to look at Su Chen in the audience.

From the latter's calm expression, he could tell that all of this was clearly expected.

"So, this is the truth hidden behind original sin?" Navelette murmured.

"These are... are they records of the water goddess and her people?" Paimon scratched his head. "But the first stone tablet seems to record pure water spirits... did the water goddess turn into humans?"

The first stone tablet: The water god transformed the pure water spirits into humans, who then lived on land.

The second stone tablet: The water god and his people, who created humankind without permission, were burdened with original sin. The water god led his people to pray to the sky for forgiveness, but the sky still brought down punishment.

The third stone tablet depicts a group of people surrounding the water god, with the sea engulfing everything around them.

The fourth stone tablet depicts the water god sitting alone on his throne, weeping.

When Ying revealed the contents recorded on the four stone tablets to the public, everyone was stunned.

"We are... water spirits in disguise?"

"No...this can't be real, how could we be pure water fairies?"

"I feel like forgetting everything today... I am human, I am human."

The scene became chaotic, and no one could easily accept this 'truth'. They thought they were witnessing a historic moment of the water god's judgment, but they never expected that the boomerang would eventually hit them.

The water god, whom they accused of being guilty, was actually burdened with the sin of creating them.

If this behavior is to be considered a crime, then their very existence is a sin!

“Not only that,” Navelette said in a deep voice, “the Water God stole the power of the primordial waters of the Fetal Sea to create the Fontaine people. Their blood vessels are used to envelop the power of the Fetal Sea and maintain their human form, but this process is reversible. When the Fontaine people come into contact with the Fetal Sea, this power will be activated, and the Fontaine people will revert to their pure water spirit form... This is why the Fontaine people dissolve in water.”

This is the hidden message he deciphered from the stone slab.

"Lady Funina, is this...is this true?" The members of the accusation team all looked at Funina.

The others also looked up at Furnessa. Although Navelette couldn't possibly be lying, this was still a huge shock to them!

however.

What they didn't know was that Funina was the one who was most shocked.

Fu: The people of Fontainebleau are made of water?!

She was so shocked that her facial muscles didn't react in time, and she didn't have time to make any expression. Everyone saw this and thought it was a calm demeanor that came from knowing everything all along.

But...but...

"So that's how it is, I see, I understand now..." Funina finally understood what the prophecy was all about.

The water god and the people of Fontainebleau are guilty, so the heavens will send a great flood to drown Fontainebleau.

I understand.

The thing is, don't look at me like that. Can't you give me a moment to be shocked?

Fu Ningna is currently completely bewildered, like a bewildered fruit on a bewildered tree.

Fortunately, her long-term acting experience cultivated in her the composure to remain calm even in the face of great adversity.

Faced with her people's questions, she nodded calmly and profoundly: "Yes, this is the mission that the water gods of all ages have borne: to save Fontaine and the people of Fontaine... I did not choose to reveal the truth because not everyone can accept it... But now you all know, right?"

Navelette pondered for a moment, then looked at Bruno and the others: "The truth you sought has been revealed. The facts show that your accusations are unfounded. Is there anything else to add?"

Bruno and the others shook their heads.

After learning the truth, they no longer had any intention of questioning the water god.

"Then, the outcome of the trial will be decided by the Prophet." Every trial has its own necessary procedures, and this is Navelette's duty. So, despite being surprised by the truth of Fontaine's history, he did not forget what he had to do next.

However, when the verdict appeared from the oracle, Navelette's pupils constricted sharply upon seeing its contents.

"This is..."

"What's wrong?" Paimon asked, puzzled. "Didn't the oracle grant an acquittal?"

“Hmm…” Navelette raised her head and looked at Su Chen, who had been sitting in the audience the whole time, and said, “According to the judgment of the oracle… the Water God is guilty and sentenced to death.”

wow~~

The audience was stunned.

"Hey, hey, hey, this joke isn't funny at all."

"Creating humans was something the previous water god did, it has nothing to do with Lady Funina."

"Is there a problem with the communication device?"

"This is impossible! Lady Funina protected us, how could she be sentenced to death?!"

"Lord Vilette, what exactly is going on?!"

Faced with his people's questions, Navelette didn't know how to answer. He looked at the oracle machine. If there was no problem with this judgment, then the factor affecting all of this... could only be the one hidden behind the oracle machine!

"Phew~ Although there were some unexpected events, we still managed to get to this point in the end..." Inside the Proclamation Machine, after the verdict of the Water God's guilt was delivered, Fukaros actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this the result you wanted?" Su Chen asked.

“No one wants to die.” Fukaros was finally able to be honest with Su Chen and explain everything. She walked barefoot on the stage with her hands behind her back. “But I didn’t choose… Ryder, I’m sorry, thank you for working so hard for me.”

Fukaros smiled easily, raising her head with longing and anticipation in her eyes. "It's such a pity. If I had the chance to choose again, I would definitely tell Agolia that I just want to be an ordinary human... to live an ordinary life, to laugh in an ordinary way, and to be with my lover in an ordinary way."

“Speaking of which…” She turned to look at Su Chen, smiling, and said, “Ryder, if I were human, would you like someone like me?”

Su Chen shrugged: "This question is meaningless."

“Yes, it doesn’t matter, but I know you’ll definitely like it.” Fukaros smiled gently, “Because that’s how you treat Fryna… Thank you, Ryder, I’m relieved to have you by her side.”

Su Chen didn't speak, but looked up at the Sword of Damocles hanging high in the sky.

Buzzing~~~

A blinding blue light emanated from the decree machine.

"Oh no, the death sentence has been carried out!" Ying's eyes narrowed.

"W-How could this be? Wasn't Funina innocent? Why was she sentenced to death?!"

Swish!

Navelette appeared in front of Funina in a flash.

The judge's duty is to bring justice and make choices between law and human sentiment. His five hundred years of learning may not be enough, but at this moment he is absolutely certain that Funina, who has protected Fontaine for five hundred years, should not be executed!

However, the power released by the Prophet was not aimed at Frynn, but at—Fukaros!
