"Deceiving the natural order?"

Navilette couldn't understand what Fucarus was saying.

Fortunately, the other party didn't beat around the bush and immediately began to explain.

"It's that prophecy, isn't it?"

"Everyone will be dissolved, and Fontainebleau will be submerged..."

"When the water goddess Egolia, who came before me, entrusted me with this prophecy, I also thought it was a very difficult matter."

"She knew perfectly well that the prophesied scene would definitely happen."

"As one of the seven rulers of the mortal realm, she also understood that one could not defy the principles of Heaven."

A look of sorrow settled over Fukaros's fair face. She placed her hands on her waist, sighing and shaking her head.

"This is completely unsolvable, don't you think?"

Navilette did not interrupt Fucarus.

Even if she didn't understand the meaning behind it, Vilette knew that fighting against the laws of nature was utterly ridiculous.

"So, I went underwater alone and thought and thought..."

["I thought about it for a very long time, until the clam shell next to me started to bubble, and then I came up with the only answer."]

"Only by deceiving the laws of nature can we save everyone through prophecy."

The matter has been discussed to this point.

Fukaros said proudly, "Ah, I really am a genius. That's probably why Agoria chose me as her successor."

"Huh? That's not right."

Fucarus paused, then, as if grumbling, said, "So, in a way, she inherited all the tasks of saving this country, the duties of a water goddess, and even the original sin of creating humankind, all in one fell swoop, and passed them all on to me."

【"Why..."】

Her fair arms were slightly outstretched.

Fukaros sighed, "There's nothing I can do. After all, I was once one of her many pure water spirit servants."

This time, Navelette seemed to understand something.

He asked, "So, you were one of the pure water spirits she used to transform you into a human 々々?"

Fucarus nodded.

"Yes, becoming a real human being has always been my dream, and it still is."

"In my eyes, I yearn for human life; their emotions bring me joy and peace."

"Human existence itself is a magnificent opera."

"After becoming a god, I separated my divine essence from my body and spirit, leaving only myself as if I were a newly created human."

"The one standing before you now is my divine self."

"And I, the human, named her Funina..."

Fucarus smiled when Frinina was mentioned.

Her smile was so proud, so beautiful.

It was like touching a beautiful dream.

Her eyes were filled with longing.

"Furina, she has joys and sorrows, she can be arrogant when she needs to be, and timid when she needs to be..."

"She can be in a good mood by eating her favorite sweets, and she can also be extremely distressed when she encounters troubles and worries."

"Similarly, she also possesses her own emotions..."

[Fukaros smiled, her eyes narrowing: "Oh dear, the innocent emotions of a human girl are truly unforgettable."]

"I can be happy over the smallest things, and I can also have sleepless nights over the smallest things."

"Moments filled with happiness can also become incredibly painful when misunderstandings lead to separation."

"Frinina, her strengths and weaknesses are all things that only humans possess."

"In my eyes and heart, she is the perfect human being. She is exactly like a real human being, the ideal version of myself."

"But to deceive the heavens, I cursed her."

Naviette finally understood.

No wonder Frynn, as a human, could live forever; the curse on her was actually Fucarus's doing.

[To fulfill the prophesied final scene, the water god himself wept alone on his throne.]

【But...】

"I invited Furnessa to play the role of the god being judged."

"Under my curse, my divinity remains, so Frinina will never die, but she will also never enjoy the happiness that humans deserve."

"She will use the opera house as her stage, becoming the true leading lady of the opera, forever playing the role of a deity to make the prophecy seem real."

[Recalling everything that Funina had gone through.]

Navelette shook her head in distress: "But, after all, Frinina is only human."

Even with a long lifespan, her mental strength is only at a human level.

"This must have been incredibly painful and agonizing for her."

"Yes, although Frinina is my human self, if I have the chance, I must apologize to myself properly."

A hint of sadness flashed across Fucarus's face.

But she quickly recovered.

"I'm not the kind of person who watches Funina suffer while I secretly enjoy myself."

"Over the past five hundred years, I have been accumulating rhythmic mixed energy."

[“Actually, someone discovered this a long time ago; providing Fontaine with energy doesn't actually require that much rhythmic mixed energy.”]

"And the energy accumulated was nothing more than preparation for today's death penalty."

"It will shatter the throne of the gods and return the authority of the gods to the elemental dragon king of this planet."

"The prophecy has been fulfilled; some of the power over water has been returned to you, and the energy of Teyvat has not undergone a significant change."

"I believe that the principles of Heaven, high in the heavens, will not be disturbed by this."

Navelette looked slightly taken aback.

Is this Fucarus's whole plan?

The crucial task of saving the people of Fontainebleau ultimately fell to him, the Water Dragon King.

[Having become a complete dragon, I can indeed reshape the people of Fontainebleau back into humans and absolve them of their sins.]

"So, all these past five hundred years, you invited me to Fontainebleau so that I could forge a bond with humanity and with this country."

【"But..."】

[Faced with Fucarus's sacrifice and impending death, Navelette's face showed sorrow.]

Fukaros smiled calmly: "Oh, don't be so sad."

"I'm still basking in the glory of having fooled the natural order."

"Although, it seems that something unexpected happened during this process."

"There was a cheerful young man from 500 years ago who aspired to become a seafaring adventurer and travel throughout Teyvat, but he terrified me at the last moment."

[“The final scene clearly shows Furna sitting alone in the judge's dock, crying, yet he stays by her side.”]

"Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have had any major impact."

"But now, he's keeping a watchful eye on the blade hanging over my head."

"I imagine he's already mentally planning how he'll make a stylish comeback after I finish speaking."

"That way, I won't have to sacrifice my life."

[A seafaring adventurer from 500 years ago?]

Navelette's pupils constricted sharply.

Following Fucarus's gaze, he slowly turned around, only to discover that the person standing behind him was none other than His Holiness the Pope of Fontaine.

[Su Bai.]

Amber: "Cole, look! It's Mr. Sober."

Cole: "Yes, Amber, I see. So Mr. Su Bai has been here all along."

Lisa: "Oh my, Su Bai is here, and judging from his relationship with Fukaros, they really did know each other more than 500 years ago."

Paimon: "No wonder Su Bai asked Funina if she had forgotten their agreement. This kid is too charming."
