Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

"No! Lord Water God, you are not guilty!"

A scream with a crying tone, like a drop of water thrown into boiling oil, instantly detonated the pent-up emotions in the entire Opikley Opera House!

"It was the Water God who saved us!"

"Without the Lord of Water, we would have been swallowed up by the sea long ago!"

"What original sin! What dissolution! I don't believe it! The Water God is the god who protects us!"

"Lord Fukaros! Don't confess your guilt!"

The crowd was like a ignited powder keg, boiling in an instant!

Some people cried and tried to rush to the stage, but were stopped by the police officers and special patrol members from the Shadow Chaser.

Some people waved their fists in anger and yelled in the direction of Villette, questioning the fairness of the trial.

Some people collapsed to the ground, covering their faces and crying. The cornerstone of their faith was completely shattered by the cruel truth and the confession of God, leaving only confusion and despair.

Chaos spread like a plague; despair, anger, defence, questioning...all kinds of emotions collided and fermented violently.

A very subtle fluctuation flashed in the depths of Villette's gilded vertical pupils, like an undercurrent passing through the deep sea.

The scepter in his hand paused slightly, and the light of the water-shaped emblem on the tip of the scepter suddenly condensed. The invisible pressure it exuded was like the roar of a deep-sea monster awakening, instantly overwhelming all the noise!

"quiet--!"

The voice was not deafening, but it carried an absolute majesty that came from blood and authority, like a cold wave sweeping through everyone's soul.

The boiling opera house seemed to have pressed the pause button; all the crying, screaming, and questioning were stuck in the throats.

Only heavy breathing and suppressed sobs were left, rising and falling in the huge space.

Everyone's eyes, as if drawn by an invisible thread, were once again focused on the center of the stage.

Fucaros still maintained a slightly bowed posture of confession.

Her long silver-blue hair fell down, covering most of her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

Her slender figure stood on the stage covered with a huge water-shaped magic circle. Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, she seemed so thin, yet so heavy.

What was heavy was the original sin that she had personally acknowledged and carried, the fate of Fontaine for five hundred years, and the chaotic emotions from the people she was protecting that were almost crushing her at this moment.

"Order is the cornerstone of Fontaine."

Villette's voice regained the calmness that was unique to the judge, without any emotion, as if he was reading out the provisions of the code, "In the face of the truth, venting will not help to sort out right and wrong, nor will it help to change the established trajectory."

His gaze was like the most accurate probe, penetrating the air and locking onto Fucaros.

"Fukaros, you have personally admitted the 'original sin' and 'guilt' you bear. As the highest judge of Fontaine, according to the laws of Fontaine, and according to the essence of the 'original sin' that you revealed, which constitutes the foundation of the existence of the people of Fontaine..."

He paused slightly, as if he was considering the most accurate words, and as if he was giving everyone a final moment to accept it.

In the entire opera house, you could hear a pin drop. Even the sobs of children were stifled by adults.

"You, as the greatest bearer of this 'original sin' in the world, as the root of all the disaster prophecies of Fontaine..."

Villette's voice echoed clearly in the dead silent space, and every word was like a cold rivet, hammering on everyone's heart.

"I, Villette, in the name of the Supreme Judge of Fontaine..."

He slowly raised the scepter in his hand until it was level with his shoulder.

The water-shaped emblem on the tip of the staff burst out with an unprecedented, dazzling azure light! The light was no longer gentle, but carried the harshness of judgment and the determination of the end!

"I hereby pronounce—"

The light at the tip of the scepter suddenly condensed and turned into an extremely sharp blue beam of light, pointing directly at Fucaros!

At the same time, the huge water-shaped magic circle covering the entire floor of the opera house began to operate frantically!

Countless dark blue runes broke away from the ground, rising, circling, and gathering like living things!

Above Fukaros’ head, in the empty space before the judgment seat that symbolizes the majesty of the law—

The space is distorted violently!

The energy, which was purely formed by the interweaving of the mixed energy of law compensation and the power of the Water Dragon King, was like being forged by an invisible furnace, emitting a sharp "buzzing" sound that made one's teeth ache!

A huge, cold, guillotine that flashes with destructive light is taking shape in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The edge of the guillotine was flowing with a light that was a mixture of azure and dark gold. It was the judgment of the law and the annihilation of divine power.

The base of the guillotine is composed of countless rotating water-shaped runes, exuding an aura of confinement and end.

It hovered above Fukaros' head, and its huge shadow completely enveloped her.

The guillotine was so close to Fucaros's slender neck that the cold light of death almost stung her skin.

"death penalty!"

Villette's cold voice rang out like the final death knell!

"Immediately—execute!"

"Do not--!!!"

Funina let out a heart-wrenching scream in Su Xun's arms. She tried to break free from Su Xun's arms like crazy. Her blue pupils shrank to the extreme due to extreme fear and despair!

"Let me go! Su Xun! Let me go! She's going to die! Fukalos is going to die!!"

Tears flowed like a flood, blurring her vision in an instant.

She beat Su Xun's chest desperately, but Su Xun's arms were like the strongest chains, tightly holding Funina's trembling body.

His gaze was fixed on the center of the stage, on the guillotine of death hanging over Fucaros' head. His eyes were as sharp as a blade, as if he wanted to see through the condensed destructive energy!

His body was tense to the extreme, and the power in his body was like a volcano about to erupt, surging wildly in his meridians, ready to go!

He was waiting, waiting for the most critical moment that could not be missed!

"Lord Fukalos!"

"Stop it! That Villette!"

"God...God is going to be executed?"

The crowd below the stage was thrown into complete chaos and incredible fear!

Someone subconsciously knelt on the ground and stretched out his hands towards the stage, as if trying to catch something in vain.

Some people covered their eyes and dared not look anymore.

Some people opened their eyes wide, with expressions of absurdity and fear on their faces - they had just been saved by the gods, but in the next moment they had to witness the gods being beheaded?

Leosli clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and the lightning in Clorinde's hand flickered uncontrollably.

Navia's face turned pale, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.

Ying clenched the sword in her hand, Paimon covered his mouth tightly, his big eyes filled with tears of fear.

Alechino narrowed his eyes slightly, tapping the back of the chair with his fingertips unconsciously, as if evaluating something.

And on stage.

Under the shadow of death of the huge guillotine.

Fucaros slowly, slowly straightened up.

The almost transparent calmness on her face remained unchanged, and even... there seemed to be a very faint arc at the corner of her mouth, as if she was relieved after completing a long and difficult task.

Her silver-blue eyes were still clear, without fear or anger, only a deep attachment to this land and the lives on it.

She did not look at the blade of judgment that was about to fall above her head.

Her gaze passed through the judgement seat, through the chaotic crowd, and fell gently and deeply on the figure in Su Xun's arms, who collapsed and cried because of despair - Funina.

That look was like the final farewell and also like the deepest entrustment.

She opened her lips slightly, but no sound came out. However, both Fu Nina and Su Xun clearly "heard" the gentle whisper that crossed the space:

"Funina, my other half... for five hundred years, thank you for your hard work."

"I leave Fontaine... and Su Xun... to you."

'goodbye. '

Then, Fucaros turned his gaze to Su Xun, with a hint of request, a hint of trust, and a hint of indescribable complexity in his eyes.

She closed her eyes gently.

It was as if all the burdens had been lifted, ready to face the inevitable end.

"Do not--!!!"

Furninna's cries had turned into desperate wails. The immense pain almost suffocated her. She felt as if her soul was being torn apart!

The huge guillotine hanging high in the sky let out a final buzzing sound that was so sharp that it pierced the soul!

The huge guillotine blade, which radiated azure and dark gold destructive light, carried the absolute will of judgment, the determination to end fate, and the terrifying power to tear apart the body of a god.

Falling with a crash!

Time seems to be infinitely stretched at this moment.

Everyone's expressions were frozen on their faces.

Finina's outstretched hand froze in the air in vain.

Su Xun's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip!

The power accumulated in his body is like dynamite with a lit fuse, ready to explode!

Just before the cold edge of the guillotine was about to touch the slender and fragile skin of Fucaros' neck!

A sudden change occurred!

Om-! ! !

A ray of light of indescribable color, pure to the extreme, suddenly erupted without any warning, with Fucaros as the center!

The light did not spread outwards, but instead collapsed and condensed rapidly inwards!

It instantly devoured Fucaros' figure, and also devoured the huge guillotine that was about to chop down!

The light was so sudden, so dazzling, so...divine!

It carries an aura that transcends the water element, the law of compensation and mixed energy, and even the authority of the Water Dragon King, as if it comes from the origin of the world!

In the entire Opikley Opera House, all the flowing water-shaped rune arrays instantly dimmed and stagnated!

For the first time, Villette's gilded vertical pupils shook violently! On the top of the scepter in his hand, the emblem that symbolized the authority of the Water Dragon King actually wailed as if it could not bear the heavy burden!

At the core of the light, the vague figure of Fucaros became extremely illusory and transparent.

Her body seemed to have turned into the purest light, decomposing and dissipating at a speed that surpassed the laws of physics!

Not cut off by a guillotine!

It's... self-sacrifice! Self-improvement! Self...return to the origin!

"What is this...?!" For the first time, Villette's shocked voice lost its absolute calmness.

Su Xun's movement, which was ready to go, suddenly stopped, and an unbelievable light flashed in his eyes!

"No! Don't do this! Fukalos!" Furninna's cries turned into screams of panic. She felt a dissolution at the soul level that was more thorough than death!

Under the horrified gaze of everyone.

The extremely pure light did not stop after swallowing up Fucaros' figure and twisting the huge guillotine!

It seemed to have life and suddenly shrank into a point of light that could not be looked at directly!

Immediately afterwards——

boom! ! !

The light spot moved at a speed beyond thought, transforming into a beam of light that pierced the sky and the earth, ignoring the solid dome of the opera house and the protective barrier set up by Villette. It shot straight, resolutely, and with an indomitable momentum, directly above the dome of the opera house, at the core of the huge golden gear shadow that was already dim and composed of law-compensated mixed energy!

the goal--

It was the one that was suspended in the sky, symbolizing the connection between the authority of the water god and the principles of heaven.

The God of Water!
