At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"Only a god could investigate so easily and so clearly."

Boom!

Navelette tapped the ground with her cane: "Silence, do not be disrespectful to the gods."

"If Mr. Marcellor has any further objections, please do so as soon as possible, otherwise the trial will proceed to the next stage."

Marcel pointed at Navelette and roared in a fit of madness, "Disrespect to the gods? Do you know how long I prayed to the gods while watching my beloved melt away before my eyes?" He then pointed at Funina.

“I prayed to the Mo Mang Palace, but you, you, and all of you thought I was crazy, laughed at me, and made fun of my pain.”

“Veneer’s death is insignificant to you, and is ignored by all of you.”

"When I decided to try to win back my lover in my own way, you all came out one by one and said to me with righteous indignation, 'You are guilty, you deserve to die.'"

"I deserve to die? You, you, and your high and mighty gods are the ones who deserve to die. What kind of high-sounding trial are you, pursuing justice and farces while ignoring the suffering of ordinary people?"

"Hahaha, I thought that by continuing my research I would be able to bring Vinier back, but in the end it was you gods who shattered my hopes."

Marcel was gesturing wildly towards the audience, Navelette, and the gods.

"Those who are dissolved can't come back, hahaha, if I'm not having a good time, none of you will either."

"..." Funina's feelings were complicated. She knew a lot about Fontaine, but she was just an ordinary person without divine power. If she had divine power, she could directly solve the corruption of the Fontaine nobles and all sorts of bad things.

Barbatos and Zhongli were unmoved; it was merely an offense committed by an ordinary person in winter who had lost his temper.

At this point, Marcel was restrained and pinned to the ground by law enforcement officers to prevent him from further offending the gods.

Navelette said calmly, "It seems that this trial has come to an end."

"Then, Miss Navia's accusations against Mr. Vasher will now be subject to the final decision of the 'Prophet'."

Navelette sent the judgment document into the 'Cardinal Decree', and a blue light instantly emanated from it.

With 'Fukaros' gone, who is in control now? It's Los Santos, of course. He injects a bit of power and will into it. What conforms to his will is right, and what doesn't is sinful.

The light of the 'Cardinal Decree' slowly dissipated, and a document appeared before Navelette.

“Based on the decree, the Cardinal has given his judgment,” Navilette said, looking at the document.

“Mr. Vacher, guilty… death penalty.” Vilette was somewhat surprised when the death penalty was mentioned.

"What? Death penalty?" Marcellus stared wide-eyed.

"Death penalty? What's going on? Why would there be a death penalty?" The audience couldn't believe it.

"Death penalty? A decree ordering the cardinals to receive the death penalty?"

"Never before."

"Yes, why is there a death penalty?"

"Is it because it's too evil that the death penalty exists?"

"It's very possible, after all, hundreds of girls have been murdered over the course of twenty years."

"It's true that such a bizarre thing as a person melting into seawater is actually true."

"Yes, that's outrageous."

"Wait! That prophecy! Fontaine will be submerged in the sea, and all Fontaines will dissolve in the water! Isn't that the prophecy?!"

"My God! Does that mean the prophecy is true?!"

"Isn't Lady Furina about to reveal the truth behind the prophecy? So the seawater in this 'serial disappearances of girls' is related to the prophecy!"

"Silence!" Navelette said sternly.

The audience quieted down.

"Let me go! Vinier! I made a promise with her! We'd be together even in death! Let me go!" Vasher struggled incessantly. He was so brazen because Fontaine didn't have the death penalty.

Even at his worst, he would just have to die of old age in Mello Petersburg, but now he's being sentenced to death.

He can't die yet, he can't die yet!

"Take him away and take him to Mello Petersburg to be executed," Navelette said.

Vasher was escorted out of the courtroom by law enforcement officers amidst screams.

"Alright, my people, you must all have many questions and doubts about the trial just now, right?" Funina stood up, her expression becoming solemn, and her voice losing its usual dramatic quality.

"The prophecy that the people of Fontainebleau will dissolve in the water, the origin of the people of Fontainebleau, how the people of Fontainebleau overcame the crisis, and what the future holds for the people of Fontainebleau."

"With the wind god and the rock god as witnesses, I now reveal them to the world one by one."

Chapter 148: The Moon Welcomes Its First Civilization

Facing the entire audience of the opera house, Furina recounted the entire story of why all the Fontaines were dissolved by the 'primordial seawater'.

"This day will come soon. There is no way to escape. Even if you flee to other countries, you will not be able to escape the judgment of Sky Island. This is the original sin of the people of Fontaine."

The people of Fontainebleau looked up in disbelief at the deity who was telling them the heavy truth.

"How could this be! We're not even complete human beings!"

"We're all going to die, it's no use running away anywhere, why is this happening!"

"This is fake, isn't it? This must be fake, right, Lady Funina!"

"Lady Furina, you're just telling a story, aren't you!"

"No, I don't want to die! I don't care about any prophecies! I have loving parents, and I have a lover who loves me! I don't want this kind of future!"

"Lady Furina! You've told us the truth, so you must have found a way to escape, right!"

"My God, it's unbelievable that the people of Fontainebleau are not entirely human."

"Yes, it's unbelievable. The Emperor arrived in Fontainebleau because of this, isn't it?"

The Fontaines in the opera house were filled with fear, dread, and wept, some even to the point of hysteria. No one could remain calm after learning they were incomplete and would soon disappear.

"Am I not a real human being...? I bleed, I feel pain, and my body is no different from people in other countries." Leosley's mind was in a daze as he looked down at his arm, his gaze then falling on the purple-haired woman standing at the entrance of the opera house.

Clarinde, the strongest human in Fontaine, was in a daze, unable to accept that she was not truly human.

“Lord Leosley, Lady Furina has revealed the truth, so she must have found a way. Don’t worry,” Siegwen said gently.

“That’s true. If a solution isn’t found, Lady Funina wouldn’t be able to get anything done.” Leosley breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the young man on the other side of Siegwen.

The young man rested his cheek on his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if he had anticipated everything that was happening, and that such a significant event was merely a trivial matter.

'This person...is strange.' Leosley's mind went blank. What normal person would have this expression? Combined with what Siegwen had just said, the person in front of him didn't seem like a living person.

At this moment, he was more inclined to believe that the man in front of him was not human at all.

thump—

"Quiet." Navelette tapped the ground with her cane, and the imposing sound instantly silenced everyone present.

"My people, do not panic. I will not reveal this if I have not found a way to save Fontaine," Funina continued, slowly opening her arms.

"Since this world can't tolerate the Fontaines, then let's leave Teyvat!"

"I have already contacted the highest deity of the other world, and the passage to the other world is now behind the Opiclad Opera House."

"The passage will only exist for thirty days. Those who are willing to leave Teyvat with me will go to the other world with me after the trial ends. I will not force those who are unwilling."

"Every word I say is witnessed by the Wind God and the Rock God to be true or false."

[I am the God of Contracts, and I acknowledge that every word Ms. Funina utters is true.]

I am the goddess of freedom, and I acknowledge that Ms. Furina did not utter a single lie.

Morax and Barbatos spoke in unison, their voices amplified by Kamui and reaching the ears of everyone present.

"Another world? So Lady Frinina has already found another world for us?"

"Is Teyvat left with nowhere to go but to seek refuge in another world?"

"Even if I have to go to another world, I want to survive."

"That's right, even if it's another world, it's much better than disappearing."

"Lady Furina, my family and I want to go to another world with you!"

"I want to go to another world too, Lady Funina, please don't abandon us!"

"Lady Funinna must have had a tough time finding her way to another world."

"Yes, that's another world."

"Although we often hear about people from other worlds coming to Teyvat, it must be very difficult to get another world to accept all of us Fontaines."

"Thank you so much, Lady Funina, for going to such lengths for us."

"Yes, I thought Lady Funina had nothing better to do all day. I'm sorry, Lady Funina."

After their despair turned into hope, the people of Fontaine realized how much the water goddess, Funina, had done for them.

As Funina watched the people who were moved to tears, thanking and apologizing to her repeatedly, she felt as if a scalding arrow had pierced her heart.

For the past five hundred years, she has lived in constant fear, afraid of being exposed for impersonating a god. But now, all the bitterness and fear in her heart are turning into tears that roll out from her eyes.

Funina's lips trembled slightly, her shoulders shook, and her vision blurred, but she forced back the urge to cry and uttered her last words.

"Then... my people of Fontaine, prepare your belongings and your thoughts, and come with me to another world."

After saying that, she quickly turned around, and as she turned, large tears rolled down her cheeks and shattered into eight pieces on the floor.

Long live Lady Funinna!

Long live Lady Funinna!

Long live Lady Funinna!

A deafening roar of applause echoed throughout the opera house. Furness turned her back to the applause and left the audience's sight, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm so tired of hearing these words... but this time..."

Funina raised her arm and kept wiping the tears that wouldn't stop from her face with her sleeve, her voice choked with sobs.

Morax and Barbatos watched Frinina's retreating figure, offering their heartfelt blessings.

In the eyes of these two ancient beings who were thousands of years old, Funina was truly worthy of the name of a goddess.
