Funina took a deep breath and responded to the traveler; she was completely calm at that moment.

"It's nothing, I have nothing to say. I am the goddess Fernina, everything will be alright."

As an audience member, please witness my performance before the curtain falls.

The last ray of light on the stage is also illuminating Funina's path forward.

"Waaah, just as you said, boss, it's so touching. How can there be such a strong person in the world? I really want to hug her."

"Alright, now you don't need to pity Furina. She's still a big star in Fontaine, the kind of person who causes a sensation whenever she appears."

Although she is not a deity, in the eyes of the people of Fontainebleau, she has always been the water goddess of Fontainebleau.

As the owner of the Secrets House, she could easily obtain information about Fontaine. The only thing that gave her a headache was Liyue.

After all, Liyue has Yelan, who is just as good as her.

At this moment, the scene in the sky returned to Fucarus and Navelette.

"So even Fulina herself doesn't know the truth, and you've never told her your complete plan."

Navelette asked Fucarus.

"Yes, to deceive the laws of nature, you must first deceive yourself."

She is truly remarkable. In the past five hundred years, whenever her will has slackened in the slightest, Fontaine has only faced the worst possible outcome.

Trusting humanity was indeed the right choice.

Navelette looked thoughtful.

"By now, I can understand how you managed to fool 'the principles of Heaven,' but that should only be half the truth."

The key question is... given all this, how exactly are you going to save the people of Fontainebleau from the prophecy?

"Very good, the logic of the Supreme Judge of Fontaine is indeed clear."

You must have realized long ago that issuing a decree to the cardinal is not as simple as it seems.

"I have indeed always suspected that the Cardinal of Decree has a self-awareness, and Linni has also pointed out that he heard voices in the Cardinal of Decree's central room."

"Now it seems that your consciousness was hidden within the Cardinal of Decree, isn't that right?"

"Yes, yes, that's right. On the surface, that's indeed the case. I've merged the Divine Heart of Fontaine with the Cardinal of Decree and Judgment."

However, your understanding of the decrees issued by the cardinals is not deep enough.

In fact, the Cardinals of Decree are not machines for executing justice; the truth is, they are machines for killing the god of justice.

"Huh! What?!"

Upon hearing Fukalos's words, Navelette also showed a rare expression of shock.

What Fukalos said next was even more shocking.

"Oh no, to be precise, it's a machine that will destroy the throne of the God of Justice as well."

Hehe, I'm not the kind of guy who would watch Funina suffer while he himself enjoys the pleasure.

Over these five hundred years, my work has been to continuously accumulate legal compensation energy in the cardinal decrees and adjudication.

It has been discovered that only a small portion of the energy generated by the Cardinal of Decree is used to power the city of Fontaine, while the vast majority is stored away.

Its purpose, of course, is... to carry out today's executions.

"Today's trial and execution were indeed part of your plan."

"The energy accumulated over five hundred years, enough to support the people of Fontaine for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, is stored in the Cardinals of Decree and Judgment."

But only energy of this magnitude could possibly shake the rules established by Sky Island, break the格局 (geju, a term referring to the political structure or power structure) of the seven ruling powers in the mortal world, and destroy the throne of the Water God.

"So, the result given by the Cardinals in the decree is that the one sentenced to death is not Frinna, nor Fukaros, but the water god?"

"Destroy the throne of the water god, if I'm not mistaken, you mean...?"

"Of course, we should return what originally belonged to you."

In other words, everything was for the purpose of returning the power of the water god to the water elemental dragons of this planet.

Hearing this, Villette felt very upset again.

"But……"

Fucarus then approached Navelette and smiled.

"What's wrong? Are you sad again? The power of the Elder Dragons is about to return to your hands, and the Water Dragon King of Teyvat is making this face? Heh..."

"From five hundred years ago until now, you've done so much, all just to sacrifice yourself?"

"I never thought that way. At this moment, I'm still feeling smug about having fooled the heavens."

At this moment, both Fucarus and Navelette fell silent.

Grass Dragon King Apep also fell silent, reflecting on herself.

The insignificant goddess Fukaros dared to deceive the laws of nature, and she succeeded. She even sacrificed herself to destroy the throne of the water god and return the power of the ancient dragon to the water dragon king.

Does she have such courage? Perhaps she used to, but she doesn't anymore.

When the concept of Heaven's justice is mentioned, fear overwhelms anger; she no longer wants to be struck by Heaven's Nail again.

"I shouldn't have underestimated you, Water Demon God Fucarus. You truly deserve my respect."

For the proud Appepp to say such a thing, it's clear that Fukaros had indeed accomplished something extraordinary that even she couldn't have done.

"Boss, why do you think there always has to be a sacrifice?"

"Who knows? Perhaps only sacrifice can make people remember us."

On the celestial screen, Fucarus reached out his hand to Navelette and uttered those words.

"Water Dragon, Water Dragon, don't cry."

The reason this statement will become a legend in Fontainebleau lies with Fukaros.

"If possible, let me judge Tenri. Didn't Tenri commit a similar crime to Egolia?"

Ergolia stole the power of the primordial womb, while Tianli stole the power of your ancient dragons.

Since I am the god of justice, returning the power that rightfully belongs to you is the proper way to uphold justice, and it is worthy of the name of justice.

That's not quite right; the two situations are not the same.

Ergolia's actions constituted embezzlement and caused the severe consequence of the extermination of the ancient Fontan people.

Tenri defeated the Nibelungen and the Seven Elemental Dragons, and the Ancient Dragon Authority was Tenri's spoils of war.

Fucarus's return of the Ancient Dragon's power cannot be considered just; it's tantamount to returning weapons of mass destruction to an enemy nation.

That is to say, Vilette has already integrated into the human society of Fontaine; otherwise, even if the people of Fontaine did not die as prophesied, their future would certainly not be easy.

You can refer to the time of the Fire Dragon King to see how the dragon race enslaved the Nata humans.

However, Fucaros had already considered this when he formulated the plan.

She believed that Navelette would eventually integrate into Fontaine's human society.

And that is indeed the case. Navelette, who was born in human form, even preferred Melsin, not the Water Dragon King's true familiar, the dragon lizard.
