Mr. Zhongli, we can't slack off anymore!

"I imagine you have many questions for me," Fukaros said, standing on the battlefield of the demon god, waiting for the traveler's questions.

"I want to turn the clock on the world's clock; can you send me to meet the judgment of heaven?" the traveler asked.

"The clock of the world... I don't understand what you're talking about, but I can send you to meet the heavens." Fukaros agreed.

Now the most important question has been asked.

The traveler felt she had more urgent matters to attend to.

"You know we've caused such a commotion in Fontainebleau, aren't you going to stop us?"

“Alas… my predecessor, the water god, passed away after leaving me with this mess, and I am simply not up to the task of managing Fontaine on my own,” Fukalos replied.

"Is Fontaine worth all this?" The traveler was very dissatisfied with Fontaine now, believing it harbored far more hidden dangers than the Fontaine of the future.

"No matter which country's history, it cannot escape the struggle for interests, and this is not the fault of the people of Fontainebleau."

"The other you will take good care of Fontaine. You won't let me down." Perhaps out of reluctance, the traveler added this extra comment.

"So you came here from such a distant future. I was wrong. You are not a Descendant. Descendants do not have equal power. Now I understand what you mean by the clock of the world."

"Thank you for telling me all this. I really hate to leave this place. But I have to think about the future of the people of Fontainebleau, so Funina will continue to watch over Fontainebleau for me."

"I have one last question: what are your plans for dealing with the Melusin issue?"

"Attributing the cause to demons and ley lines will surely cause a new wave of panic. The rumors caused by the deaths of those children in battle here cannot be glossed over in just a few words. If we attribute all of this to a non-existent person, and that person was personally executed by the water god, this lie should be enough to quell public anger."

"Of course, I won't let the perpetrators of the rumors get away with it. But even if this matter is resolved, people will still be wary of Melusin. The rumors will resurface."

"That non-existent person... could it be referring to me?" The traveler had a bad feeling.

"Hehe, you broke the laws of Fontaine and sabotaged our establishment of a temporary detention center. Let's settle things by using you as the prototype for our lies, okay?" Fukaros covered her mouth and laughed for a while.

"Alright. But you can't pursue this any further." The traveler nodded.

"Now that you've finished asking your questions, it's my turn. I have a request. I've said before that I have a way to deal with the demon god, and also a way to ensure that such a demon god will never appear again. The first method has succeeded, and now I need your help."

Fukaros clasped her hands together and bowed slightly: "Please, please."

"Can I help you?" the traveler asked, scratching his head.

It's definitely not going to be anything good, so why would I expect anything good to happen to me?

"You've already helped me so much, what's one more thing? Right? Hero who fought off the demon and saved Fontainebleau." She even started flattering him.

Oh right! There's something I really forgot.

I need to interact with the statue to gain water elemental power.

“Alright, if it’s within my power. But you also need to do me a favor; please grant me the power of the water element,” the traveler said.

"You want my Eye of God?" she seemed troubled.

"I don't need the Eye of God. I can gain elemental power just by touching the statue. Maybe I can get water elemental power by shaking your hand," the traveler guessed.

"Let's shake hands then. With the blessing of the water element, it will be easier for you to work in the sea," she said, extending her hand to the traveler.

"The sea?" The traveler almost developed thalassophobia after falling into the sea last time.

Their palms touched.

The traveler felt the coldness of the water god's hand, while Fucarus felt the warmth of the traveler's palm.

"So this is what human body temperature feels like. Looks like I'll have to secretly modify the Fontaine people a bit more, hehe."

"Your power..." The traveler inadvertently discovered that the water god's elemental power was almost exhausted.

"I recently made a big toy, which took a lot of effort, and the battle with the demon god just now also took its toll." She seemed unconcerned, but the traveler noticed her sadness.

"Thank you for your hard work, Water God," the traveler blurted out.

"Ah...yes..." The water god closed his eyes.

The two elemental forces resonated, and the power of the water element was etched into the traveler's soul.

"How amazing! It seems this world is much bigger than I imagined." She looked into the traveler's eyes.

"Hmm. I didn't expect that either."

"I'm starting to like you. If we have time, we might become friends."

"If you have the chance in 500 years, come visit me in Fontainebleau. I'll definitely give you a big hug then. Hehe." She was the first to let go of my hand.

"Yes, definitely." The traveler nodded.

Both women knew perfectly well that they would never see each other again.

Black water is seeping outwards from a crack in the seabed.

The water god's seal confined them within a certain area.

"What is this?" the traveler asked.

"The fissures in the ground, and the black water there, are the pollution of the abyss."

"The demons you fought were created by the interaction of these impurities with the primordial seawater."

Fukalos explained everything.

"What do you need me to do?" the traveler asked.

"Use indestructible rock elements to create an eternally unbreakable rock to seal the fissures in the earth's veins."

"Can I do it? It would require the power of a Geo God to do that, wouldn't it?" The traveler remained skeptical of his own abilities.

Hey, don't trust me too much!

What if I end up with a shoddy project that makes the situation in Fontaine even worse?

Am I going to become a sinner in Fontainebleau?

"Really? Geo Archon... I feel like you're even more powerful than Geo Archon." She trusted the Traveler even more than the Traveler trusted the Traveler.

"I?"

"Yes, go for it! I think you'll be fine."

Following her instructions, the traveler condensed rock elemental light particles and spread them evenly over the water god's barrier.

The seabed shimmered with dazzling light, and some poor little fish gathered there, only to be sealed inside.

Strengthen it, make it even stronger.

It is eternally unchanging and indestructible.

My power surpasses that of the Geo Archon...

not enough……

not enough……

I can make it even stronger!

Huh? Why is it dark...?

“Well done, you did something that even he couldn’t do.”

"Thank you, traveler from a distant world."

When the traveler awoke again, he was lying in the village of Melusin.

There was a small figure lying on the bed next to it.

Has Violet shrunk again?

"You lazybones, you've been sleeping for two days. Are you ready to meet your maker?" Fukalos stood by the traveler's bedside, holding a bowl of something strangely colored.
