Chapter 568

"It's that prophecy, it's very troublesome, right?"

"Everyone will dissolve, Fontaine submerged by water... When the previous Hydro Archon, that is, Egeria, entrusted this prophecy to me, I also felt... this is too tricky, right?"

"She clearly knew very well that the scene in the prophecy would definitely happen."

"As one of the Seven Archons, she also understood very well that the Heavenly Principles... cannot be made an enemy of."

"This is completely an unsolvable matter, don't you agree?"

"I dived into the seabed alone and thought quietly for a long time, until the clamshells around me started bubbling, before I thought of that only answer."

"Only by deceiving the Heavenly Principles can we... save everyone at the same time the prophecy happens."

"Hmm, I really am a genius, and it is precisely because of this that Egeria chose me as her successor."

"Speaking of which, she inherited the task of saving this country, the duty as the Hydro Archon, and even the original sin of 'creating humans,' all to me at once."

"Sigh... there's really no way, who told me I was also one of her many Oceanid familiars?"

Everyone was already silent.

From the moment they prepared to judge Furina in the video, no one said anything, all quietly waiting for the truth.

Now that the truth is gradually surfacing, it is a development that no one expected.

The Hydro Archon Focalors is one of the many familiars of the previous Hydro Archon Egeria, and also the successor to Egeria's position as Hydro Archon.

From Focalors' playful expression and words full of joy and ease, everyone learned these secrets and felt even more worried about the truth to come.

Focalors stated her plan.

After she became a god, she separated her divinity from her body and spirit, leaving only herself, who was just like a human who had just been created.

Standing before Neuvillette now is the divinity Focalors, while the one Neuvillette knew before was the human Furina.

In order to complete the plan to deceive the Heavenly Principles, Focalors cursed Furina.

In order to make the prophecy seem to come true, she invited Furina, this actor, to play the Hydro Archon in the prophecy.

Under her curse, as long as she, as the divinity, still existed, Furina would never die, but she would also never enjoy the happiness a human should have.

She would be forced to use this Opera House as a stage, become the true heroine of the Opera House, and forever play the role of the god in order to make the prophecy crisis seem to come true.

"Now, 27 you understand why your courtroom is called the Opera Epiclese, right?"

Neuvillette was silent for a moment and said: "But, that Furina is ultimately still human, right?"

"Even with a long life, her mental strength is only at the human level. For her... what kind of painful torture this is."

"Yes, although Furina is the human me, if there is still a chance, I must apologize to 'myself' properly."

"These five hundred years for her... are an incomparably long, incomparably lonely, incomparably painful... 'opera'."

And in another space.

That is Furina's mental space.

Furina sat alone on the stage, and only Lumine sat in the audience seats below.

After understanding that this was Furina's inner space, Lumine decided to try chatting with Furina.

"Oh? Who allowed you to come onto this stage? As the god Focalors, I understand your admiration for me, but please don't break the rules."

"It's me, Furina?"

"Alright, I don't intend to punish you, you don't need to report your name. Go, don't delay my performance."

Furina's expression was calm, but her inner voice was conveyed.

(Don't look at me anymore, don't look at me anymore...)

"But, there doesn't seem to be any audience here, right?" Lumine spoke.

"Hmph, stop joking, can't you feel it?" Furina snorted lightly.

(Even for a moment, let the stage go dark, let the spotlight stop...)

"I am the god Focalors, countless eyes in Fontaine are staring at me, I must always show the most elegant and noble demeanor."

(Then I can... change back to 'myself'...)

Lumine discovered something was wrong.

Even in the depths of her heart, Furina was still performing as the 'Hydro Archon,' completely unable to communicate.

She didn't understand what kind of determination it took for Furina to build such a line of defense in her heart and subconscious.

Lumine observed the surroundings and turned off all the spotlights.

Presumably, in Furina's heart, these spotlights represented the gazes of people watching her.

Lumine suddenly discovered a ticket; perhaps, the performance was about to begin?

Act 1? In front of the mirror? Furina

"Furina... Furina...?"

In the empty surroundings, someone was calling, and Furina was a bit dazed.

"Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, I am right in front of you."

In front of Furina was a full-length mirror, reflecting Furina's appearance, but it was speaking.

Furina called her the self in the mirror.

The person in the mirror told her about the prophecy, and Furina was startled.

She was also afraid of being dissolved.

But the person in the mirror told her not to worry; the wonders of the world exist to bring turning points to the world.

The person in the mirror said: "I will tell you the way to save everyone, it's just... you might have to endure some pain..."

"So there is still hope for salvation, you scared me to death, look at how full you made your words before."
