The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Today, as usual, after finishing his extreme physical training, Fen Yu sat on a rock to rest.

At that moment, the interface in his mind that had been dormant for fourteen years finally changed.

[System charging progress: 99.9%... 100%]

[Charging complete.]

The "Entangled Fate" system has been restarted.

[Connecting to the initial summoning target... Connection successful.]

[Summoning...]

Almost at the same time, in the distant sky, a dazzling blue meteor streaked across the heavens, as if tearing a hole in the sky itself.

Fen Yu had seen this scene several times in the past.

The village elders say that it is a strange phenomenon that only occurs when a deity from heaven descends to the mortal realm.

But this time, he sensed something was different.

That shooting star seemed to be... aimed at him.

A mysterious connection, like an invisible thread, tightly bound him to the light in the sky.

Fen Yu suddenly looked at the system panel in front of him, where lines of new text were appearing:

[Summoning character successfully contacted.]

Her name is—Focarus, Queen of Waters, Lands, Peoples, and Laws, Goddess of Water and Justice.

"boom--!"

Before he could fully process this shocking information, the blue meteor, trailing a long flame, crashed precisely into the open ground not far in front of him.

A beam of light shot into the sky, forming a huge pillar of light that bathed everything around it in a dreamlike azure hue.

The powerful energy surge made him instinctively squint and raise his arm to shield himself.

The light dissipated.

A figure stood quietly in the center of the pillar of light.

She had long white hair, with strands of light blue interspersed, as if the clear lake water had been blended into the moonlight.

A cute little tuft of hair sticks up high on the top of her head, swaying gently in the breeze.

Beneath eyelashes as blue as water droplets are a pair of unforgettable heterochromatic eyes.

His left eye was a deep azure, as if it held the endless depths of the sea, while his right eye was a clear light blue, like the sky after a clear day.

Her peculiar teardrop-shaped pupils made her look both sacred and vulnerablely endearing.

She wore a small, exquisite crown-style hat with an iris pattern, a uniquely tailored blue dress, paired with white shorts and black leg rings, exuding elegance with a touch of heroism.

The familiar appearance and the faint, intimate connection deep within his soul made Fen Yu understand instantly.

This was his initial summons fourteen years ago, when the system malfunctioned and he was transported to the "Celestial Realm".

The girl seemed a little dazed. She raised her hand, her slender fingers twirling a strand of her hair with a hint of embarrassment. Her beautiful heterochromatic eyes looked at Fen Yu with a touch of apology.

"Ah... um, I'm sorry."

Her voice was clear and melodious, like the tinkling of a spring.

"I think I... overslept."

Fen Yu stared blankly at her, at this deity who had arrived fourteen years late.

The long wait, the solitary perseverance, all the resentment and pain seemed to find an outlet at this moment.

The corners of his mouth slowly turned up, eventually transforming into a genuine, utterly relieved smile.

"It's okay."

He spoke softly, his voice trembling without him even realizing it.

"This is not your fault."

"My...God."

The system has been restarted, and his god has returned.

It's not too late for everything.

"Yes, that's right, I am your supreme god."

Upon hearing Fen Yu's trembling address, Fu Ningna seemed to be instantly infused with boundless energy.

The confusion and apology of the previous moment vanished instantly. She straightened her small body, put her hands on her hips, and struck the most authoritative pose she could imagine, announcing in a loud voice:

"From now on, you can rely on me. Under my wise leadership, our clan will surely become the most radiant and righteous clan on the continent, and I, Fukaros, will eventually become the queen who reigns supreme at the pinnacle of Orario and is revered by all people."

She let out a series of laughs that she thought were very impressive, and the tuft of hair on her head swayed back and forth, making her look smug.

Looking at her like this, Fen Yu's turbulent and complex emotions were gradually replaced by a warm smile.

He could no longer hide the smile in his eyes, and bowed slightly, speaking in a dramatic yet solemn tone:

"Yes, I understand, Your Majesty."

"Huh? Hey hey hey! You, you can't really call me that."

Fen Yu's serious response had an unexpectedly good effect.

Funina's "queen aura" instantly crumbled. Her delicate face flushed bright red, and she waved her hands frantically, stammering:

"This...this is just a metaphor, a declaration of force. If you really call it that...it's too shameful."

She felt so embarrassed that her toes were about to dig a luxurious three-bedroom palace out of the hard ground.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Fen Yu finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The laughter was light and sincere, dispelling the gloom accumulated over fourteen years of waiting and melting away the last trace of distance between the two when they first met.

It was as if an invisible bond had long since tightly linked their fates.

No words are needed; a sense of intimacy that comes from the depths of one's soul arises spontaneously.

After some lighthearted playful banter, the two sat side by side on the rock, and Fen Yu finally asked the question that had been nagging at him:

"What exactly happened when you were summoned to the Celestial Realm? What was that time? What...did you do there?"

When this was mentioned, Funina's excitement turned into embarrassment and guilt.

She twirled the ends of her hair with her fingers, her eyes darting around.

"Well... it's a long story, and actually, I don't know that much."

She muttered to herself.

"All I remember is that when I gained consciousness, I was already in the heavens, and then inexplicably, I became the god in this world who controls the power of 'water' and 'justice,' and I have an immortal life."

She paused, as if trying to recall something.

"But... most of the time, it seems I'm sleeping in a very beautiful and quiet place. The one who is actually socializing and handling affairs in the heavens is another me... the real 'god Fucarus'."

"Another you?"

Fenyu astutely grasped the key words.

"Um."

Funina nodded, her expression somewhat subtle.

"We are two sides of the same coin. She is rational and divine, while I... am her humanity. She maintains the majesty of divinity on the outside, while I am responsible for... for sleeping and dreaming?"

She herself felt that the explanation was a bit far-fetched, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
