Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 871 Dual Dance

Finina opened her eyes hazily and placed her hand on the transparent wall in confusion, "Su?"

"You're awake!" Su high-fived Funina through the transparent wall. "Open the door quickly! And come out with us."

"Out? Where are we going..." Finina looked around in confusion, "Also, where is this place?"

This place looked very much like the Oprykle Opera House, but it was also different from the opera house she had in mind.

Suddenly, she heard the terrified screams of the crowd and the sound of rushing water. Finina's expression twisted in pain for a moment, then quickly turned back into a dazed smile.

Finina: "Ah... I see. This is the 'Theatre of Life'."

Su was puzzled, "………………Huh?"

Seeing the girl's confusion, Funina explained carefully, "It's a place where people go when they're near death. They come here to relive the memories of important moments in their lives."

Su Wu realized, "Fontaine revolving lantern?!"

Su Wu Yu became anxious again and turned to ask his friends for help.

Sora's gaze returned from the floor-length mirror in the corner of the stage.

Kong carefully observed Funina's half-awake state, her expression switching between pain and relief, and determined her condition.

"Funina... probably believed the situation was completely irreversible, so she dissociated herself in extreme pain, hoping to forget reality and ease the pain."

"No! Finina, wake up!" Su, realizing the situation was becoming increasingly critical, pounded on the wall. "It's okay! We're still in time! Wake up! I'll take you to a safe place! Where's the key? Where's the bell? Come on!"

But it seemed that the key sensed the resistance of the owner of the consciousness space, or perhaps it was unwilling to use brutal means, so it just hung quietly in the air.

From behind the red velvet curtain came the melodious and sad music of the viola.

"It's too late." Tears continued to flow from Funina's different-colored eyes. She sobbed and asked Su, "Everyone... is dead... Why do you want me to remember such a tragic ending?"

Before Su could answer, Funina's expression became calm again, or rather, it was the dead silence after a complete fall.

"Oh, I'm going to die too. The lights in this 'theater' will be going out soon."

"Leaving without pain with everyone else is a... happy ending, right?"

"Even if you're fake, I can say that I've finally come to an end under Su's witness, right?"

Funina stepped back to the center of the stage, lifted the hem of her skirt, and smiled. "Secretly, I'll tell you, I've actually rehearsed for 'The Grand Finale' many, many times."

"I invite you to enjoy this solo dance."

——*——*——

Through the mirror next to Fukaros, Violet saw Furnina's long struggle and the pain that had already reached its limit.

Fucaros avoided Villette's sharp gaze, and moved back helplessly after three seconds.

"Don't look at me like a bad guy. Su has already called me a bastard, okay?"

Navrette: "Except for that illusory promise, Funina has been kept in the dark."

Fukaros nodded. "Well, after all, if you want to deceive the laws of nature, you must first deceive yourself."

"She is truly remarkable. Over the past five hundred years, if her will had weakened in the slightest, Fontaine would have suffered the worst possible outcome."

"Even in the face of the temptations she's always craved, she's managed to persevere until now."

"Trusting humans, trusting Funina, is indeed the right choice."

It was perceived that the great flood had completely hit the entire Fontaine. Except for a few scattered survivors who were still struggling, the people of Fontaine could be considered to be extinct.

"The time is almost up." Fucaros looked up and told her method of breaking the prophecy.

"The Oracle is not a machine designed to enforce justice. The truth is, it's a machine designed to kill the God of Justice. More precisely, it's a machine designed to destroy the God of Justice's throne... along with it."

That Villette was stunned, "...What?"

What he couldn't understand was not the true purpose of the oracle, but why Fucaros, the water god, did this.

Having pulled one back, Fukaros chuckled, "Haha, I'm not the type to watch Fu Nina suffer while I enjoy myself with a clear conscience."

It is impossible to save the people of Fontaine from the prophecy set by heaven with the power of the water god alone.

Because the power of the Water God is achieved by using the Heart of God to draw the authority of the Water Dragon King sealed in the throne of God.

The seven gods appointed by the tyrant cannot fully and thoroughly control and exert the power contained therein.

Only by returning that power to its true owner can we shake the web of fate woven by heaven.

Fukaros smiled easily, as if making that important decision was a very simple matter.

"Egolia stole the power of the primordial fetal sea, while Tianli stole the power of your ancient dragons."

"Since I am the God of Justice, returning the power that originally belonged to you is the only way to uphold justice and live up to the name of justice."

She had done everything she should and could do, and all that remained was to wait for Villette's verdict.

That Villette completely understood Fucaros's plan.

In order to break the prophecy set by heaven and save the people of Fontaine from death, Fukalos chose to deceive heaven and weave a drama where "everything happened as planned".

Outside the blind spot of the god's sight, Fucaros made many small movements.

One was to split himself up. He would have his personal form, Funina, act as the water goddess, maintaining the normal operation of Fontaine. His divine form would then continuously accumulate faith and energy within the Oracle.

The second was to invite him. To make him the Supreme Judge of Fontaine. Through five hundred years of interaction, he, who originally had no interest in humans, came to understand this race.

"How cunning, Fukaros," Villette said with difficulty. "At this point... you know I can't make a guilty verdict, right?"

The real meeting with Fukalos was that he was invited to witness her execution.

As the Water Dragon King and the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, he was in no position to stop her.

The suspended energy sword emitted a strong light and rotated faster.

Fukaros smiled and said, "I have also secretly observed Fernina's dance. I'll ask you, Villette, to witness this 'dance' that she doesn't know about."

"Goodbye, Villette. I hope you enjoy this five hundred years of your part."

Fucaros took light steps, turned around and danced gracefully under the flowing sword blade.

As the music reached its last note, the solo dancer Funina froze in a curtain call pose.

The water-colored giant sword fell.

Feeling something, Finina's consciousness trembled, and the top hat with a crown rolled to the ground.

Villette's subconscious hand caught the divine power that was floating towards him and that Fukaros released at the cost of shattering himself.

Finina closed her eyes, and the opera house in her consciousness disappeared in a violent white light.

"Funina!!!"
