Chapter 105

"This is..."

Furina looked in astonishment at the colorful light sphere between herself and Su Bai.

Its brilliant gaze opened Furina's eyes to a new world.

As the light bloomed, within a few breaths, a teardrop-shaped crystal of five colors, embedded in a golden surround, appeared.

It slowly fell into Su Bai's hand.

"What is this?"

Furina was puzzled and confused.

"It looks like a teardrop-shaped glass... bead?"

"How should I explain this to you?" Su Bai thought for a moment and asked, "Don't you know about the Gnosis?"

The Gnosis?

Furina froze.

She flipped through her memories, then nodded: "Mm, I have heard of this kind of thing."

"Something granted by the gaze of the gods, allowing ordinary humans to wield elemental power."

"That's roughly the meaning," Su Bai said, not understanding the function of the Gnosis.

He naturally could not create a Gnosis either.

But he could transmit his own power to others through a small amount of tissue or something else from that person.

Just like the object resembling a Gnosis before his eyes.

Created from Furina's tears, Furina is the absolute master of this object.

She can wield the power within at will, and as long as Furina does not abandon it, she can use this power to gain a very long life.

Paimon: "Su Bai has shared his power with Furina."

Abyssal: "As expected of Su Ye, he actually possesses the power to create a Gnosis?"

Paimon: "No, that's completely wrong. That isn't a Gnosis; it's Su Bai's ability, something he created that can grant power to people."

Venti: "As expected of the man I am willing to help, truly extraordinary, but..."

Zhong Li: "Granting one's own power to others should cause some kind of damage to oneself, right?"

Hu Tao: "Consultant, do not say such things now; I do not wish to see another tragedy."

Klee: "What does Mr. Su Bai mean by a dramatic reversal?"

Nahida: "I understand. As Furina said, the fact that she is a fake Hydro Archon was exposed. The Hydro Archon of five hundred years was fake; this trial was shocking, making the people of Fontaine unable to believe it. This was the initial drama, and the reversal Mr. Su Bai refers to is based on this dramatic trial, flipping the identities again, making all the people of Fontaine recognize Furina as the true Hydro Archon, thereby breaking the previous trial's perception. This is the so-called most dramatic trial."

·· ······ Begging for flowers ··· ···

Navia: "Young Lady Furina particularly loves watching operas. To impersonate the Hydro Archon, she frequently made a series of behaviors that the people of Fontaine could not guess..."

Clorinde: "If it is truly as Nahida said, this situation fits Young Lady Furina's persona too well."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Yes, just like when Young Lady Furina gave her first stage speech; the extreme contrast conquered the people of Fontaine."

Diluc: "But doing this, will it alert the Heavenly Principles?"

Neuvillette: "No. The throne of Focalors has already been destroyed, and the Hydro Archon has been judged dead. Even if Furina acquires Su Bai's powerful strength, she is at most a person defined as having formidable strength. The so-called identity of the Hydro Archon is merely the people of Fontaine's view of her, but in the archives of the Heavenly Principles, they will not recognize her identity as the Hydro Archon."

"Now, is the climax of the opera."

"This is my first time as a director; you as my leading lady, please do not disappoint me."

Su Bai carefully tied the "Gnosis" to Furina's waist.

He casually handed the Lumineous Droplet of the Still Water to Furina.

"You say..."

"Let me go stop the flood?"

Furina looked slightly nervous.

But according to Su Bai's explanation, with a slight movement of her mind, she could feel the power transmitted from the "Gnosis" at her waist.

"Yes, Furina..."

"Please, in the name of the Hydro Archon Furina de Fontaine, go stop the flood that is about to surge up over Fontaine."

The judgment seat of the Opera House.

Su Bai sat quietly on the seat alone.

Watching Furina's elegant figure as she departed.

A smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Behind him, the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, which had originally lost its energy, once again filled with luster.

"Lei Nei..."

"Jacob..."

"Hehe, I feel my apologies to you two are never-ending."

"Pity, even if given another chance, I would still make the same choice as back then."

"Even if your starting point was to save Fontaine..."

Su Bai silently remembered the close friend who had once tried to stop the prophecy.

That close friend who had almost begun to implement the mad plan.

"You will see the great water flood into Fontaine."

"But, you will see that petite yet elegant figure, standing like an Archon in the center of Fontaine."

"She will stop all floods approaching Fontaine."

"People of Fontaine, the person presented before you now is indeed the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, Furina de Fontaine."

"That water god Furina, who loves performances and opera."

Su Bai silently gazed at the elegant figure that had already vanished from the opera house.

His jet-black temples slowly began to turn gray, and crow's feet even appeared at the corners of his eyes.

My lord, the Pope...

My lord, the Pope...

Thank you, my lord, the Pope.

With a Pope like you, the people of Fontaine have no worry whatsoever about anything happening.

Indeed, it must be our Fontaine Pope; with you here, any matter can be resolved.

As the memories surged forth.

Su Bai's once jet-black, lustrous hair had completely turned gray.

The once lustrous young man now appeared somewhat disheveled.

"Huff..."

Su Bai let out a long breath and stretched his arms.

His peripheral glance flicked toward the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale.

"For the remaining time, I shall wait for Neuvillette."

And...

After several hundred years, it is indeed difficult to sever the emotional bond with Fontaine.

But, every story must eventually reach its conclusion.

"Focalors, Furina, you share the same hobby."

"The final, dramatic opera must indeed be performed with all my heart by me, the one who loves you both."

Yae Miko: "What is going on? Why has Su Bai's hair turned white?"

Lisa: "Could it be as the Geo Archon said? Is this the price of drawing power out of the body?"

Jean: "Mr. Su Bai not only gave Furina power, but it seems he also supplied part of his power to the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale."

Abyss Herald: "This... is this system's blade unable to be sheathed anymore..."

Neuvillette: "Is the Pope's duty to protect the divine right with Furina as the center? Su Bai, he..."
