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

As soon as he finished speaking, it was like the sound of an ancient bell being tolled, waking everyone else present.

"it's over?"

"So what's going on?"

"Wasn't the decree machine carrying out an execution just now? Why is Lady Funina completely unharmed?"

"Are you stupid? What is the Cricket Oracle Machine compared to Frynn's power just now?"

"So, Lady Funina is actually this amazing? I thought she was just a member of the atmosphere-building team."

"But what exactly does this mean? I'm already a bit confused."

"No matter what, it's so good that Lady Funina is alright!"

A mix of emotions—relief, excitement, and bewilderment—was displayed on the faces of everyone in the opera house.

Even Ying and Paimon were incredibly surprised.

"Traveler, I didn't know Fryna was this powerful? She's usually like a comedian from Liyue... Hmm, I misunderstood her."

Ying tilted her head and suddenly looked at Su Chen's position, only to find that the latter had suddenly squatted down and reached out to touch the ground.

"Ok?"

Ying sensed that something was wrong.

The ground seems to be... shaking?

The initial vibration was so small that the excited crowd didn't even realize it, but as the vibrations grew stronger, the entire opera house began to shake noticeably.

"what happened?!"

"An earthquake??"

The crowd, who had just been cheering for the water god to escape execution, all showed expressions of surprise.

“Naviette,” Su Chen called out, looking up.

The Water Dragon King vanished from the opera house in a flash.

Su Chen leaped and arrived next to Funina.

"Huh? W-what happened?? Did the prophecy happen?" Feeling the ground shake, Furina asked in a panic, "Ryder, did something go wrong with the judgment just now? Is the heavens... the heavens about to get angry?"

"Probably not."

The tremor wasn't significant. If it were a disaster powerful enough to destroy Fontaine, these people wouldn't have had the time to react to what was happening.

However, just in case, Su Chen stayed by Funina's side.

Well, in case a major disaster really happens, he wants to have Funina set up a court of judgment to protect herself.

"Let's go outside and take a look."

He led Frynn from the VIP section to the second floor, to a balcony where they gazed into the distance. The Opiclie Opera House was located by the sea, and due to the tremors, the seawater began to surge wildly.

The waves surged up in terrifying waves, smashing the boats docked at the pier, and some of the people who were still on the pier hurriedly fled inside.

The tide surged in from all directions!

However, this seawater is not from the original primordial womb, and judging from its scale, it is far from achieving the effect of the prophecy of Fontaine's extinction.

"It seems to be a small-scale outbreak... underground." The source of the tremors is underground, or rather, beneath the seabed, where the seal of Melo Petersburg is located. Vilette is there to deal with the seal, so there's nothing to worry about.

Even so, a calamity of this scale is enough to cause significant losses to Fontaine.

"Furina, I'm leaving this to you."

"Huh? Me? Me?" Funina was taken aback. "What do I need to do?"

Su Chen chuckled: "Just like more than four hundred years ago, believe in yourself. You can do it now."

The power of the Tribunal has been restored, granting Funina superhuman strength. She is no longer the weak and helpless Funina she once was.

“Yes!” Funina nodded emphatically.

She unleashed the power of [Divine Solo Dance] and flew towards the distant sea.

"Aina, take some people to check the surrounding area and protect those affected."

Not far behind, Aina accepted the order and left.

After giving the instructions, Su Chen activated teleportation and arrived directly at Fengdanting.

At this moment, the earthquake's force had spread to this area, and the tides were rolling in with huge waves. People affected by the disaster were fleeing in panic. Faced with a natural disaster of this magnitude, the human body is not so easy to cope with.

Su Chen jumped several times, following the rooftops to reach the dock.

Boom! ——

A wave tens of meters high crashed towards Fontaine. The guards quickly activated an elemental barrier to keep the seawater out. The huge impact shook the ground, and the ships docked at the pier were overturned by the waves.

boom!

A ship flew into the air, crashed into the barrier, and finally shattered into countless pieces of scrap metal that fell from the sky.

The barrier is fairly intact.

As a nation founded on the sea, Fontaine has put a lot of effort into dealing with the threats posed by the ocean. In addition to elemental barriers, it also has a well-developed drainage system. When Su Chen was the logistics and administration officer, a large portion of the annual budget was spent on these systems.

After all, the water god cannot watch the sea all the time, and humanity will eventually have to rely on its own strength to deal with some disasters within its capabilities.

However, that's all we can do.

The tremor erupted too suddenly. The waves from the coastal area of ​​Fontaine swept in, leaving no place unprotected by any protective barriers.

As the waves were about to engulf the coastal area, Su Chen threw out the rule card.

The card shot out, spun and enlarged in the air, emitting a chilling aura.

"Freeze it."

The words fell.

The power of frost was released instantly.

Under the influence of the Herrscher of Ice's power, the giant waves froze instantly—crackling sounds as ice rapidly spread along the coastline. To the astonishment of the people of Fontaine, the waves seemed to freeze in mid-air as if time had been stopped.

"What...is that?!"

"ice?"

"I've seen it before! It's the kind of power that Lady Funina often uses!"

Many people have seen Funina use Lone Heart Salon and thought that the water god had come to save them. As for why the water god used ice instead of water... does that matter?

This is not important.

"No, it's Ryder! Lady Frinina's messenger!"

Someone noticed Su Chen standing upright against the wind.

Taking advantage of the frozen sea, those who couldn't escape quickly retreated into Fontaine.

About twenty minutes later, the tremors gradually subsided. As Su Chen had predicted, this was not the disaster foretold, but merely an omen.

He slightly raised his eyes, and another golden card appeared in his hand.

Then it was thrown out.

This card emitted terrifying lightning power. After flying into the air, it merged with the original frost card. The lightning merged into the ice layer, and the power burst out from the inside.

"Thunder, shatter!"

Rumble, rumble~~~

Terrifying lightning erupted from beneath the ice, its power so great it was like thunder right next to their ears, leaving everyone in Fontaine stunned.

After the thunderclap, the continuous ice waves collapsed in the next moment, and the scattered ice shards were annihilated by the lightning, turning into countless tiny ice flakes that were blown into Fontaine by the sea breeze.

It was as if a blizzard had struck.

"not bad."

Su Chen was very satisfied with the power of the rule cards.

Although it is far less powerful than the template, it is easy to operate and anyone can use it. Moreover, if the power of the rules can be used to fuse the laws of the two templates together to create a super fusion card that compresses elemental reactions, its power would be unimaginable.

"This is the correct way to summon the Seven Saints."

Okay, now let's play cards!

...

When Su Chen returned to the Obi-Cole Opera House, the commotion had subsided.

"Ledrad!"

At the gate, Funina, who was chatting with Navelette, waved vigorously at him.

"How about it?"

Su Chen walked over.

"The seal has loosened?"

“Yes, but the situation is not optimistic.” Navelette shook her head slightly. “There seems to be another force in the Primordial Sea of ​​the Embryo. Leosley sent a non-Fontaine to dive into the seabed, but he was scared back soon after entering.”

"Oh? What's inside?"

"According to his description, it was a whale."

"A whale?" Su Chen was taken aback. "Could something like that cause such a commotion? Is it a demon god?"

Demon gods are relatively easy to deal with, since their potential is actually quite high, especially some demon gods with special abilities. It wouldn't be difficult for them to cause trouble using the primordial womb.

Prophecies always come true, but their form is not fixed.

Su Chen had a premonition that this giant whale might be the fuse that ignited the destruction of Fontaine.

“I can’t be sure either, but the beings that can be active in the Primordial Sea of ​​Embryos are definitely not ordinary creatures…” After a pause, Navelette said, “If that’s the case, the Fool’s Enforcer who went into the Sea of ​​Embryos to investigate earlier is probably in grave danger.”

"Um..."

Su Chen frowned slightly.

To be honest, he didn't have a bad impression of the young master. As a subordinate with excellent execution skills, it would indeed be a pity if he died.
