Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

"Lord Fucaros...really...sacrificed?" After a moment's silence, a trembling voice broke the silence, carrying with it incredible despair.

This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing bigger ripples.

Sadness, confusion, fear, and the sense of emptiness after the collapse of faith once again spread among the crowd.

That Villette stood before the judgement seat, with turbulent waves surging in her gilded vertical pupils.

On the top of the scepter in his hand, the water-shaped emblem that symbolized the power of the Water Dragon King was emitting an unprecedented, almost scorching buzzing sound!

At the moment when the throne collapsed and the rain of light fell, a powerful force that was so vast, ancient, and complete that made his soul tremble, was like the heart of the ocean that had been sleeping for billions of years suddenly awakening, crossing the void, ignoring all obstacles, and pouring into his body accurately and violently!

That is... the power of water! The complete, lost, supreme authority belonging to the Dragon King of the Water Element!

boom--! ! !

An indescribable blue light burst out from Villette's body!

This light was not an aggressive outburst, but it was like the deep sea itself manifesting!

His silver hair danced wildly without wind, and the dragon horns hidden in his hair were fully revealed, becoming more crystal clear, flowing with the secret patterns of the deep sea.

The Supreme Judge's attire on him disappeared in the light, replaced by an ancient armor woven from the purest water and starlight, majestic and sacred.

An indescribable pressure, like a physical tide, spread out from him to the entire opera house and even the entire Fontaine!

This pressure was not a deliberate release of intimidation, but a natural expression after the return of authority and the completion of the essence of life!

It carries the majesty of the ancient dragon king, and more importantly, an unprecedented deep understanding and tolerance of water, life, and emotions.

All the users of the Eye of God in the opera house, including Clorinde, Navia and others, felt that the elemental power in their bodies uncontrollably produced a strong sense of submission!

Ordinary people feel as if they are in a boundless and gentle deep ocean, being watched and understood by a grand and compassionate existence.

Villette slowly closed her eyes, her gilded vertical pupils flashing a deep light under her eyelids.

At this moment, he "understood".

Not through verbal explanation, but through the "understanding" that comes from this complete authority that reaches the essence of the world.

He understood the primordial sea power flowing in the veins of the Fontaine people, understood the obsession of the pure water spirits who longed to transform into human form, understood the compassionate transgression of Egolia, understood the heaviness and sacrifice of Fukaros's five hundred years of planning, and understood the loneliness and tenacity of Funina's five hundred years of performance...

I also understood the origin and heaviness of the shackles called "original sin."

The countless joys and sorrows, love and hate that he had witnessed in Fontaine over the past five hundred years, the conflicts between human emotions and laws that once confused him, now became like small trickles flowing into the ocean, becoming extremely clear, profound, and... empathetic.

He understood the entire plan of Fucaros - to use the annihilation of his own divinity and the collapse of his throne to create the illusion of "prophecy fulfillment" to deceive the will of heaven and return the complete power over water to him. He would allow the true Water Dragon King to protect Fontaine with complete authority after the "prophecy is fulfilled" and forgive the people of Fontaine's fate of dissolution!

The heavy truth, along with an even heavier responsibility, weighed on Villette's shoulders.

Fucaros...used her "death" to bring Fontaine hope of life, and also gave him this "gift" that was five hundred years late.

That Villette slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, his eyes became extremely deep, as if they contained the entire sea of ​​stars and the endless deep sea.

Sadness, shock, enlightenment, responsibility...all kinds of complex emotions settled in his eyes and eventually turned into a rock-like firmness.

He raised the scepter in his hand high - the scepter was no longer an ordinary object at this moment, the body of the scepter was wrapped with materialized water and starlight, and the emblem on the top turned into a slowly rotating deep blue core containing endless water power.

His voice was no longer the cold and majestic one he had used during the trial. Instead, it carried a kind of grandeur and compassion that seemed to come from the origin of the world. It resounded clearly in the hearts of every Fontaine citizen, penetrated the opera house, and echoed in the devastated land of Fontaine:

"In the name of the Water Elemental Dragon King, Navelette."

“Perceive, understand, and confirm.”

"The root cause of the 'original sin' of usurpation has been eliminated along with the collapse of the throne of God."

"The cycle of the 'disaster' predicted by the prophecy ends here."

"From this moment on, all the people of Fontaine shall be forgiven of their fate of dissolving!"

"With the authority of complete water as evidence—"

"The water of Fontaine will no longer dissolve the people of Fontaine!"

boom! ! !

Following his solemn declaration, the huge water-shaped magic circle covering the entire opera house burst into an unprecedented azure light!

This light gently penetrated the protective barrier set up by Villette, and like a warm tide, it instantly swept across the entire Fontaine, and spread to the more distant Baisong Town, Hailu Port, Cangjing District...all areas invaded by the original fetal sea!

Wherever the light reaches, miracles happen!

Those stubborn blue-gray dissolved marks left on the people's bodies after being splashed by the diluted sea water quickly melted away like ice and snow!

People who were weak and in pain due to being exposed to the fetal sea water suddenly felt a cool life force rushing into their bodies, and all their discomfort disappeared!

The heart-pounding smell of dissolved curse that remained in the air was also completely purified and dispelled by this gentle and majestic power of water!

"Ah! My injury...is healed!"

"It doesn't hurt anymore! It really doesn't hurt anymore!"

"The curse...disappeared?"

"Absolution... the fate is over? We... we are truly saved!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, there was deafening ecstasy and crying of surviving the disaster!

Countless people knelt on the ground, kissed the ground, or hugged each other tightly, feeling the vitality in their bodies that truly belonged to "human beings" and was no longer threatened by dissolution.

Leosley looked at the disappearing blue marks on his arm, his eyes filled with shock and relief.

Clorinde's clenched fists slowly loosened, and the lightning subsided.

Navia cried with joy, and Myles and Silver hugged her tightly.

Ying and Paimon also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief.

The collapse of faith seems to be filled by new hope.

Although they had lost the "Water God", the existence of the Water Dragon King and the "pardon" he declared were like a stabilizing force, stabilizing the shaky hearts of the people of Fontainebleau.

Villette's gaze swept across the excited crowd below, and finally fell on the center of the stage - Su Xun was standing there quietly, holding the unconscious Funina in his arms.

Villette's gaze lingered on Su Xun for a few breaths.

His gilded vertical pupils seemed to be able to penetrate the surface and see something deeper.

The strange time gap and energy dislocation at the end of the trial just now, as well as the absolute irrationality of the way Fucaros's breath disappeared, were like thorns in my back.

There was clearly no abnormal energy fluctuation on Su Xun's body at this moment, he was as calm as a deep pool, but what was hidden beneath that deep pool?

My intuition was warning me: There was definitely something wrong with this man! Fukaros's "annihilation" was not as simple as it seemed!

However, there is no evidence.

At this moment, Fontaine is in a state of disrepair and people's hearts are just beginning to settle. Funina is heartbroken... It is not a wise move to track down a "benefactor" who has no flaws and has just participated in the rescue.

Violet suppressed her doubts and curiosity, turned her gaze to Fernina, and slowed down her voice with a hint of barely perceptible concern: "Ms. Fernina...is she okay?"

Su Xun raised his head, with just the right amount of fatigue and sadness on his face, and said in a low voice: "I am too sad and my mind is exhausted. I fainted temporarily. I need to rest."

As he spoke, he continued to transfer pure healing energy into Funina's body, maintaining the stability of her soul.

He could feel that the "disappearance" of Fukaros had caused a soul impact far beyond his imagination on Furnina's half, and her soul structure even showed subtle, unstable fluctuations.

"It seems that we need to find a way to get Fukaros back as soon as possible... otherwise Fu Nina's soul will be permanently traumatized." Su Xun thought to himself.

"Take her back to rest." Villette nodded slightly and looked at Furninna's pale little face with complicated eyes.

The bitterness of acting for five hundred years, coupled with the excruciating pain of losing half of his body, made even he feel a sense of heaviness.

"Momang Palace will provide everything you need."

"Thank you." Su Xun nodded and then turned his gaze to the people below the stage.

Clorinde nodded to him slightly, and a flash of lightning flashed across her fingertips, which was a farewell.

Leosli also gave him a complicated look, the mechanical gloves in his hands were still stained with oil and traces of fetal sea water.

Navia wiped her tears and bowed solemnly towards Su Xun and Funina.

Alechino hid at the edge of the crowd, his eyes deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ying and Paimon flew over. Paimon had tears on his little face and looked at Funina worriedly.

"Funina she..." Ying said softly.

"It will take some time." Su Xun said briefly, "I'll take her back first."

Without any unnecessary greetings, Su Xun held Funina in his arms, his figure gradually fading in front of everyone's eyes, like ink blending into the water, disappearing silently on the spot.

The use of spatial power is like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace.

The moment he disappeared, Villette's fingers holding the scepter tightened slightly, and the deep blue core light on the top of the scepter flowed, as if catching something, but finally returned to calm.

He took a deep look at the place where Su Xun disappeared, then turned to face the people of Fontaine who were still immersed in the ecstasy and afterglow of pardon.

A new era has begun, prologued by the "sacrifice" of the water god Fukaros and marked by the official appearance of the water dragon king Navilette.

And Su Xun quietly left the stage with a huge secret about the future and a heartbroken girl.

In the cocoon of darkness in his palm, time remained stagnant. The final divine core of Fucaros was like an ancient butterfly sealed in amber, waiting for the moment of breaking out of the cocoon and being reborn.

On the top floor of Momang Palace, in a large room facing the sea that belongs exclusively to Funina.

The space fluctuated slightly, and the figure of Su Xun holding Funina appeared.

He laid her gently on the large velvet-covered bed.

The sunlight outside the window shines through the carved glass, casting mottled shadows on the carpet. The sea breeze, with a salty scent, blows the gauze curtains.

Even though she was unconscious, Funina's brows were still tightly furrowed, with tears still hanging on her long eyelashes. Her body twitched unconsciously from time to time, as if she was still in great pain.

Su Xun sat on the edge of the bed, with an extremely soft silver-white halo lingering on his fingertips, gently tapping her brow.

The more refined Yuan Qi carefully penetrated into her sea of ​​consciousness, sorting out her mental power that was chaotic and turbulent due to the huge impact, and soothing the trauma of her soul that seemed to be torn apart.

"There's still a long way to go..." Su Xun's eyes were calm.

He looked out the window at the sparkling sea, then lowered his head and gazed at Fernina's pale little face.

"But before that, I have to make you better, Funina. And... the mess in Fontaine, the new Water Dragon King, I'm afraid he will be busy."

He gently brushed away the blue hair soaked with sweat from Furninna's forehead.

The power of time quietly acted around Finina, forming an extremely weak acceleration force field, speeding up her body's self-repair and her mental recovery.
