Hutao uses me to judge my performance

She had to keep this secret buried deep in her heart and never reveal it, because it concerned whether Fontaine's prophecy could be lifted.

That person had told her personally that as long as she kept this secret hidden, everyone in Fontaine would be saved in a grand trial, including herself.

"How long will this trial last... and who will be on trial..."

She buried her head in the pillow, her tears completely soaking it.

The next day, Funina tidied herself up and once again regained her radiant, star-like appearance.

Just as planned, Furness, who went to the opera house to watch the trial, was attacked in the middle of it.

The angry crowd directed their fury at this so-called god, blaming Funina for her inaction and resenting her indifference.

The fact that their god did not try to resolve the crisis or protect them during their time of crisis made them feel betrayed.

At first, only a few people spoke out in condemnation, but later, more and more people joined in, and then everyone participated in this attack on the gods.

Funina escaped.

She could no longer stay in that environment.

Just like they say, she is an incompetent god, a selfish person.

She avoided everyone and came to Baisong Town.

She wasn't sure what the point of her being there was, but paying respects to the dead at least made her feel a little better.

She stood in a deserted corner, looking at her reflection in the water—a face that looked exactly the same as always.

So sad, so painful...

Tears fell silently, splashing ripples in the water.

"Frinina is here!" Paimon's clear voice rang out, and Frinina trembled like a startled bird.

"It's you guys..." Upon recognizing the newcomers, she put on that somewhat arrogant and flamboyant smile again.

"What, have you realized you've offended the gods and are now preparing to apologize?"

Chapter 891 Her role has come to an end

Paimon crossed his arms, clearly dissatisfied with the god.

"What! You're still thinking about these things at a time like this."

Fu Ningna was a little embarrassed.

It can only be said that this posture has gradually become an instinct for self-protection over the past 500 years.

How can a god display weakness before the people?

The forced smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she fell silent.

"Don't force yourself, Funina. You must be very sad right now. The tear stains on your face haven't disappeared yet."

Kong mercilessly pointed out the embarrassment of this god who was trying to appear calm.

"How...how could this be..."

Funina touched her face and, sure enough, it was still damp.

"The Water God is there! Hurry up and follow!" a loud shout came.

After saying something to save face, Funina turned and ran.

Kong quickly caught up with Funina and took her into a small metal house to hide.

Just as planned, Furness was taken to the opera house's courtroom without any warning.

The moment the door opened and she saw the audience, Funina actually felt like she had really arrived.

So, is the final judgment a judgment on her?

The huge weight in her heart finally lifted, and she calmed down.

As usual, she spread her arms wide and looked at all the audience members in an exaggerated manner.

"Rejoice! Cheers! In this opera house, a wondrous unfolding unfolds that people dare not even imagine!"

"A magnificent and inspiring stroke on the stage of Fontainebleau!"

"The trial of the god Fucarus is about to begin!"

A judgment against the gods, used as a final curtain before exiting the stage, is certainly quite spectacular.

Cheers and applause erupted in the opera house, as if a serious trial were taking place, rather than a spectacular theatrical performance.

Judging one's own god—good heavens, that's something that sounds exciting enough.

At this moment, a great deal of power flowed into the Cardinals of Decree.

Navelette sat high above, watching everything unfold below with indifference.

"Both sides are in position, so the trial shall now begin."

Funina stood on the dock, awaiting the verdict.

But to her surprise, the judgment against her was not a dereliction of duty by the gods, but rather—

To impersonate a god while in human form.

Her pupils contracted sharply, and her previously calmed emotions surged like rolling waves.

She instinctively gripped the armrest of the judge's bench.

This is the only thing she cannot admit.

She must keep this secret at all costs, otherwise Fontaine will not be saved, but will be killed.

Not only her, but everyone present cared a lot about the trial.

Fontaine is at its final moment; they must uncover the secret hidden by Funina, as this is crucial to Fontaine's survival.

Two groups of people with the exact same goal are forced to do completely opposite things.

It's not about right or wrong, it's just a difference in perspective.

Mondstadt.

Wendy, a frequent visitor to taverns, was unusually clear-headed. He lay on the canopy of a tall oak tree in the Windrise, staring blankly at the sky through the gaps in the branches.

A breeze kept blowing past my ears, carrying sounds from afar.

Liyue.

Zhongli arrived at the secluded South Heavenly Gate at some unknown time, walked to the giant Fulong Tree, and gently stroked its jade-like branches.

He looked up at the sky, and all the stars that were obscured by the daytime light seemed to be reflected in his eyes.

"Time flies..."

Rice wife.

Lei sat cross-legged in his sanctuary of tranquility, oblivious to everything happening in the outside world.

Sumeru.

The little grass god stayed alone in the Pure Good Palace, connecting with the World Tree with his eyes closed.

She had a strange intuition that something big was about to happen.

Fontaine.

A debate has begun concerning whether Funina is a god.

The main representative of the dialectical side is Kong, and behind him stand all the friends he has made since arriving in Fontaine, including the Supreme Judge.

As for Funina, who was on the opposing side, there was no one behind her.

Many people are paying attention to this trial, in their own unique way, behind the scenes.

However, this does not include Jiang Bai.

He was unaware of what was happening in the outside world, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have been able to participate.

He was immersed in the water of the womb, absorbing the power originating from it. He could clearly feel that the power of the water of the womb was decreasing.

In another hour, or even less, the power of the fetal sea will be completely absorbed.

This wasn't because he absorbed it so quickly, but because besides him, there was another enormous entity greedily devouring the remaining power in the fetal sea.

Once the power of the fetal sea is completely absorbed, it will reappear, seek out Jiang Bai, and continue absorbing all the power of the fetal sea before leaving.

The trial proceeded in an orderly manner, but the verdict indicated a serious bias in the decision-making process.

Faced with one piece of evidence after another, Funina retreated again and again, but she could not admit it.

She was not a god to begin with, and as long as she could not demonstrate divine power, she could not dispel the world's doubts about her.

This is a dead end.

A meticulously planned dead end, intended to evade fate, but inadvertently becoming part of it.

Navelette tapped her cane, her authoritative voice echoing throughout the hall.

"In the name of the Supreme Judge, I find Funina guilty of impersonating a god as a human and deceiving the people."

Although the events had deviated from their original purpose, the trial was a serious matter, and they had to continue.

It doesn't matter whether Funina admits it or not; the people no longer believe she is the water goddess.

Funina sat in the chair, head bowed in silence.

Her hair hung down, obscuring her eyes, which were filled with a deathly stillness.

The final judgment has arrived, but she failed to protect this secret, causing the people of Fontainebleau to lose their chance to be saved.

In the end, she still couldn't do it.

No one cared about her emotions; at that moment, people were only focused on the outcome of the trial.

"Now, the final decision rests with the Cardinal of Decree."

The decree issued a radiant pronouncement from the cardinal, who, as always, delivered the verdict.

"Based on the findings of the Cardinal Decree, I hereby pronounce judgment..."

Looking at the words above, Violet remained silent for a full half minute.

"Water God, you are guilty, you deserve to die."

The moment he said that, the entire room erupted in uproar.

No one expected this outcome; the decree sentenced the water god to death.

Such a sentence has never been seen in Fontainebleau. Even Vacher, who committed several cases of missing girls and was deeply guilty, was not sentenced to death.

Things took an increasingly unpredictable turn, but it was all no longer relevant to Funina.

In this absurd drama that has lasted for five hundred years, her role has come to an end.

Chapter 892 The Truth of Sin

While the opera house was in an uproar, the primordial womb was also bustling with activity.

The original power of the Taiwan Strait has been completely devoured, and the star-devouring whale has returned once again.

The power within Jiang Bai's uterine sea is now like a bright source of light, shining brightly even in a uterine sea where energy has been depleted.

A rift opened in the sky, and the Star-Devouring Whale appeared silently behind it. It opened its enormous mouth, and seawater poured in continuously. Its dark mouth seemed to connect to the abyss.

Jiang Bai immediately left the area devoured by the Star-Devouring Whale, and Tartaglia made the same choice.

"His target is me, you should get out of the way."

Although Jiang Bai disliked Dadalia, he didn't want Dadalia to die here.

"Call me if you need help."

D'Artagnan didn't think much of it. The Star-Devouring Whale wasn't particularly strong. Jiang Bai had already driven it away once before, but he just couldn't kill it.

He didn't intend to interfere in Jiang Bai's battle either. As a soldier, it was also very necessary to observe and learn from others' battles.

Seeing that it could not devour the star, the star-devouring whale swung its enormous tail.
