Chapter 508
"Actually, it is not a problem with Celestia either.
If Phanes really wanted to punish Fontaine, he wouldn't wait until hundreds, or even thousands of years later, to punish Fontaine." Mu Yang said with a pointed tone.
At this, not to mention Arlecchino, even Navia, Furina, and Clorinde became curious.
Unlike Arlecchino, Furina and the others knew Mu Yang's true identity.
Could it be that there was some hidden story about the flood that they didn't know about?
"Then what is it for?" Arlecchino was also bewildered. She glanced at Furina, seemingly questioning: You, the Hydro Archon, how come you don't even know this?
You said it was a problem with Celestia, but it turns out this matter has nothing to do with Celestia. Who would believe that?
Mu Yang's gaze became profound. As the current Heavenly Principles and also possessing the authority over time, what Mu Yang knew was obviously much more than others.
"Rather than calling it a curse, it is better to call it a prophecy!" After pondering for a moment, Mu Yang said softly: "This flood is destined to erupt.
If the people of Fontaine were not Oceanids, they would not be dissolved by the Primordial Sea water.
At the very least, ordinary humans are not afraid of Primordial Sea water."
"This..." Arlecchino and the others looked at each other in dismay upon hearing this.
Is that so?
If it really is like this, then it seems it is their fault.
Is it the fault of the previous Hydro Archon, Egeria?
That doesn't seem right either; Egeria just fulfilled the wishes of the Oceanids.
Moreover, because of this matter, Egeria was also punished.
The Hydro Archon Egeria fell, and she didn't even fall within the territory of Fontaine; it is said she fell within the territory of Sumeru.
"Egeria created humans without permission and was punished by Phanes; this was inevitable, and even necessary." Mu Yang stared at the few of them and said with a pointed tone: "
If this flood was destined to happen.
If the people of Fontaine were not transformed from Oceanids, but were ordinary humans, this disaster, while severe, would not be unacceptable.
But because of Egeria's actions, the people of Fontaine will be wiped out. You tell me if Egeria needed to be punished."
Furina's eyes widened. She had never met the Hydro Archon Egeria; the other version of herself had those memories, but she did not.
At this moment, Furina really wanted to go and ask Focalors: Was the previous Hydro Archon Egeria really that willful?
"Of course, this is just a guess of mine.
What is certain now is that the reason for the rising water level of the Primordial Sea water does not come from this world.
It does not originate from Phanes." Mu Yang said in a deep voice.
"The Abyss?" Clorinde's gaze also became solemn upon hearing this.
Although because of Neuvillette, the people of Fontaine have also become true humans and no longer need to fear the Primordial Sea water.
But the matter of the Abyss is what they need to pay the most attention to.
This time, will there be strong individuals coming from the Abyss?
The strong individuals on their side don't seem to be enough!
Since joining the chat group, Clorinde's strength has also improved quite quickly.
At the very least, she has already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage.
This strength is definitely among the best in Fontaine.
If you really count it, the current Clorinde is the true third-strongest in Fontaine.
And apart from those of them who joined the chat group, it seems no one else is qualified to go to war with the Abyss.
"Hmm, I also feel it is the Abyss." Mu Yang nodded slightly, but he did not mention that this matter might be related to Tartaglia.
It was not Tartaglia's own intention, but it was related to Skirk.
It's just that I don't know if Skirk will appear again when the time comes.
If Skirk appears again this time, then there will be no need to leave.
Once or twice is fine, but not a third time. If this matter is really related to Skirk.
Then it proves that Skirk is also a huge hidden danger to the continent of Teyvat.
With his current strength, taking down Skirk shouldn't be difficult.
It's just that he doesn't know if there are any strong individuals behind Skirk.
"The Abyss?
This is not a good thing." Clorinde said with a serious expression: "It seems we still need to make preparations."
Furina nodded slightly: "If it is the Abyss, it is indeed very tricky."
Although she was a rookie, at this moment, Furina could only pretend to be so.
Even though she was already trembling with fear.
The Abyss!
That is the most terrifying existence outside the continent of Teyvat. Even the Heavenly Principles seem to become insignificant in front of the Abyss.
Although if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and Mu Yang will inevitably be the main force when the time comes.
But Furina was still a little panicked.
She wanted to make her own efforts to protect Fontaine!
"Ms. Furina, is there anything I need to do?
Although I have joined the Fatui now, if it is to save Fontaine, I will not refuse." At this time, Arlecchino also said to Furina.
Her form of address had changed from Hydro Archon to Ms. Furina.
Such a change in address also expressed Arlecchino's disguised recognition of Furina.
This was already very commendable.
If it were an ordinary person, with Arlecchino's experiences, they would also fall into darkness and would not trust their own god.
"To be honest, if it involves the Abyss, I don't know how to deal with it for the time being.
I need to think about it after I go back." Naturally, Furina could not tell Arlecchino at this time that she needed to find the other version of herself for help.
Moreover, what she could do in this matter had also become very limited.
Furina even suspected that even Focalors would be somewhat helpless when facing the Abyss.
Facing Furina like this, Arlecchino did not feel dissatisfied.
If it were before, Arlecchino would indeed be full of dissatisfaction with Furina, thinking that the other party did not look like a god.
But now that she knew the truth, Arlecchino also understood Furina's pressure.
Facing the curse of that Heavenly Principle, it was indeed difficult for Furina to do some things, and even what she did was under the nose of the Heavenly Principles.
Furina in normal times was very likely acting foolishly; at least the current Furina was much wiser.
As a god, having to act foolishly for the sake of the people, this sacrifice was big enough!
