King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 834 Borrowing a Knife

"Crack...boom!"

Inside the Opicole Opera House, the huge gears of the Cardinal of Oracle began to rotate. At the same time, a frightening force emanated from behind this huge machine.

"This is……"

The Opicle Opera House has never lacked audiences, and this is especially true for today's trial - because today is the trial of the water goddess Funina, which has been planned for a long time by everyone in Fontaine.

But the result was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations. Even after being exposed, Funina still did not reveal any information related to the prophecy.

The people of Fontaine and the stubborn "Water God" are now in a stalemate.

Then, the stalemate was interrupted by the sudden change in the cardinal's decree.

"Death penalty. Does this sentence really fit what Funina did?"

Standing at the bench, Navilette looked at the report in his hand and saw that the cardinal's ruling was once again different from his own.

And the difference is huge. It was like this with the young master that time, and it is still like this with Funina now.

Perhaps, as Yu Jin said, the machine was indeed damaged to some extent. After all, it had been running for five hundred years, and Funina had not repaired it during this period.

Of course, judging from Furninha’s previous performance, the creator of the Cardinal of Oracle must be someone else.

But no one cares about this now, because everyone is watching the changes in the cardinal's decree.

"Kakaka!"

The frequency of the gear meshing became faster and faster, and large patches of blue light began to burst out from the Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment.

"What's going on, [Oracle] this is..." Navia ran to the stage regardless of the order of the trial. She looked at the changes in the oracle in front of her, and thought of the shocking verdict just now. A bad idea was born in her mind.

"death penalty……"

Navia looked up at Furninna who was slumped above her head. Her eyes were unfocused and tears were welling up in her eyes without her realizing it.

Even though the Cardinal of the Decree had undergone such a change, she did not even bother to take a look at it.

Perhaps it was because of the pain of betrayal? Or maybe it was because she was too frightened after hearing the death penalty. Regardless, now Funina looked like she was dumbfounded.

"Humph……"

Navia on the stage couldn't help but take a few steps back. The pressure from the Cardinal of the Decree was too great, making it hard to breathe.

It is precisely this kind of pressure that makes the Opicle Opera House unusually quiet, with only the sound of the cardinal's instructions and decisions echoing.

"Funina... run out quickly..." Navia's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

Naturally, Funina above her couldn't hear what she was thinking. She was now completely immersed in her memories of the past.

"Lord Water God, I finally see you. Do you know that I have been waiting for this day for several years!"

"Hahaha! I see. It seems like having so many people wanting to see me is a problem for you guys. I can't help it, after all I'm so popular."

The voice was full of spirit, pride, and boundless vitality, as newborn gods always are.

"Lord Water God, I... I'm so excited that I don't know what to say. Thank you for meeting me!"

"Well... you're welcome. You should thank yourself for your perseverance and persistence. It's because of them that you waited in line until the day you meet me!"

The girl nodded. The excitement of the believers in front of her seemed to infect her, and it eased her tired heart a little.

"Lord Water God, it's a real honor to meet you!"

"My people, the glory of this moment is also your happiness."

The devotion of the believers did not diminish in the slightest, but the smile on the girl's face became increasingly rigid, with no sign of relaxation.

"Lord Water God?"

"Lord Water God!"

"Lord Water God..."

Various voices collided in her mind, but they were all calling out the name of the water god. There were so many voices that they occupied all of Funina's attention, leaving her no time to think about anything else.

"Maybe this is a relief..."

Because of tears, Furninna's eyes were blurred, and she suddenly felt that this was a good choice to end the show. She had performed this one-man show for too long, so long that she was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard a thunderous roar suddenly coming from in front of her.

"Wake up! Funina!!!"

"Who...that Villette?" Finina squeezed out her tears and saw Villette standing in front of her.

"Huh..., why did you come here? Judge God, isn't this what you want?"

After saying that, she lowered her head and quietly waited for the "death penalty" to come.

"You are not a god, and I cannot find the basis for this ruling in the laws of Fontaine."

"Therefore, the agreement made when Fontaine was first established must be changed. The result of the trial shall be subject to the judgment of the Supreme Judge!"

"Funina pretended to be the water god, but the facts are unclear. We now announce that the case will be tried by the Momang Palace. As for the plaintiff, Funina, she needs to cooperate with the investigation and will be released temporarily!"

"boom!"

Two powerful forces collided, and water-blue ripples swept out, blowing everyone in the opera house all over the place.

Villet struggled to hold on against the enormous power released by the Cardinal of the Decree. Seeing that Fernina was still in a daze behind him, he could not help but roar again.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave!"

"Walk?"

Finina muttered a few words to herself. She looked up and saw Navelette gritting her teeth. Finally, some light returned to her eyes.

"You...you have to hold on! No, you can definitely hold on! After all, I'm just an ordinary person. Even if I execute the death penalty, the energy consumed will definitely not be much!"

After her identity was exposed, Finina let go of her dignity as the water god. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and cheered for Villette.

But Villette obviously didn't want to listen. Seeing that Finina hadn't left yet, he freed one hand and held her in his.

"Catch it!"

"what--"

Finina was thrown out, but fortunately, when she was about to land, she was caught by Clorinde who rushed over.

"No...are you okay, Lady Fininna?" Clorinde was breathing heavily. Just walking for such a short while had consumed so much physical strength. She couldn't imagine how much pressure Villette must have been under facing this force.

"No...it's okay."

Furninha shook her head and got up from the ground.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the entire Opiecle Opera House suddenly shook, shocking everyone.

"The death penalty... is going to be carried out?"

After the shock, the light gushing out of the Cardinal of the Oracle became stronger and stronger. Not only did it suppress Navilette in front of him, it even enveloped him.

"That Villette—"

"The Supreme Judgment..."

Villette was swallowed by the light, and the pressure on everyone was suddenly relieved. But this relief did not last long, and a new pressure followed, leaving them no time to feel sorry for Villette.

"Boom!"

A giant hand stretched out from the broken space. The arm was completely transparent, and the flickering glowing "skeleton" inside was clearly visible.

"So lively? Are they all here?"

Yu Jin stuck his head out from the space crack. He looked around and found that almost all the famous people in Fontaine were present.

Among them were several people he knew.

"Aren't you the defense attorney for the executive officer? Why are you here?!"

Finina was shocked to see that it was Yujin, but when she turned around and saw the dark flowing behind him and the terrifying beast under his feet, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Aren't you on good terms with that Villette? Now he's been executed in my place! There's no way you can save him!"

"Uh... that's a lot of information." Yu Jin was confused. How were the top two figures in Fontaine related to the "death penalty"?
But soon he no longer cared about the details because he saw the key things.

"I saw the executioner's knife."

"Move it away quickly!!!"

"No problem, that's what you said!"
