Chapter 109

"What!"

"I once specifically studied Fontaine's history. Five hundred years ago, when Furina first assumed the role of Hydro Archon, a grand opera was staged at the Opera House."

"Tell me the details!"

"Furina's disguise was too convincing; her humble attitude raised suspicion. But in the end, people discovered that Furina had deliberately feigned that manner to test her subjects."

"She is the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, the God of Justice. Before the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, even a god could be judged by her."

"I see, I understand. The prophecy will truly come to pass. Furina herself had long possessed Fontaine's method to save Fontaine, but she deliberately did not speak of it. Did she simply wish to test how we would face the prophecy?"

"Damn it, is the truth really like this? Then I must have utterly disgraced the face of the Hydro Archon Furina by shouting for help just now."

"Furina loves operas with intense drama the most. The Hydro Archon's judgment was surely a flaw she deliberately sold to make people mistake her for a fake Hydro Archon."

"My revered Hydro Archon, your performance nearly scared our hearts out."

The Hydro Archon!

The Hydro Archon of Fontaine now stands before all the people of Fontaine.

That petite figure seems to possess no power, yet simply because she stands at the center of Fontaine.

She is like a pillar stabilizing the sea, firmly suppressing the Primordial Sea water surrounding Fontaine, preventing even a single drop from flowing into Fontaine.

"The Hydro Archon! Furina is our true Hydro Archon of Fontaine."

"Wow! Waaah! I was so immersed in the plot that I thought she was a fake Hydro Archon. I truly deserve to die. I must go to the Yaoqu Sect to repent devoutly."

"The one who saves Fontaine is the Hydro Archon, our Hydro Archon."

"Hydro Archon! Furina de Fontaine!"

Deafening cheers echoed throughout all of Fontaine.

For a moment.

The name Furina de Fontaine resounded across heaven and earth.

Furina, standing before the Court of Fontaine's Fountain, naturally heard the cheers and joy of the people of Fontaine.

At this moment, she finally realized what a true star is in everyone's eyes.

"So, this is the feeling of being respected?"

"Just like..."

Su Bai's towering and handsome figure suddenly flashed through Furina's mind.

Her heart inexplicably twitched a few times.

"Ugh!"

Furina let out a pained, delicate groan, not understanding what this sudden panic was about.

"Indeed, such immense power is not yet something I can currently wield."

"But..."

Gathering her composure, Furina's blue, teardrop-shaped eyes showed nothing but determination.

"This performance is filled with your expectations for me. I will absolutely not lose to anything."

Her thoughts settled.

Furina clenched the Splendor of the Still Water, then gently tapped the ground again.

"In the name of the Hydro Archon, I command you to retreat."

A powerful and firm belief suddenly rose from Furina's heart.

The colorful teardrop-shaped "Vision" at her waist instantly shone with brilliant light.

In an instant, the Primordial Sea water, which had already been still, suddenly began to tremble continuously.

"Hiss, the flood is moving."

"This, this..."

The people of Fontaine panicked in their hearts.

However, only a few seconds later, the pupils of all of them slowly dilated.

They watched helplessly as the floodwaters, towering like hundred-meter-high walls around them, receded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Wow! The flood is starting to recede."

"It's as if they are obeying Furina's words and beginning to drop."

"Truly, Furina is amazing."

"Come on, Furina."

"Come on, you are the savior of our Fontaine..."

"..."

Nahida: "Furina... so amazing..."

Jean: "Indeed, possessing the love of the Reincarnator Mr. Su Bai will bring about miracles."

Navia: "The Furina of the previous life was indeed too cool. That determined look in her eyes, not wanting to disappoint Mr. Su Bai, was so charming."

Clorinde: "Navia, you wouldn't..."

Navia: "I... of course, Mr. Su Bai is still the greatest. Pity he..."

Nahida: "I really envy the Furina of the previous life. Not only did she possess the Hydro Dragon, the Dragon of Perfection, but she also had the Pope, who doted on, cherished, and favored her with all kinds of love."

Paimon: "Uh... judging by Nahida's experience... envy is normal..."

Alhaitham: "Great God of the Small Grass, it is we who are incompetent."

Tighnari: "Great God of the Small Grass, it is we who are incompetent."

Cyno: "Great God of the Small Grass, it is we who are incompetent."

Dehya: "....."

Eightfold Kami-ko: "Stop. Who are you people? How dare you compare abilities or status with my Su Bai?"

Lumine: "I'm in a bad mood right now, you pathetic fox—can you use your corpse to wipe my tears?"

Nilou: "Why hasn't it ended yet? It won't go on to kill Furina again, will it? I can't imagine what will happen when Furina returns and finds Su Bai gone."

Mo Na: "Please don't say that—don't hit the nail on the head."

【Furidan Court.】

【The cries of Furidan citizens cheering for Furina echoed endlessly.】

【Amidst this surging tide as if overturning rivers and seas.】

【The walls of the Primordial Amniotic Sea grew lower and lower...】

【Until Furidan's original water source converged and erupted from the Lujing Spring into the sky.】

【The water wall of the Primordial Amniotic Sea collapsed instantly.】

【Rapidly faded, until it vanished completely.】

【"Huh..."】

【As everything returned to stillness.】

【Furina's solemn expression finally eased.】

【It succeeded.】

【She did not let Su Bai down.】

【The flood that had besieged Furidan vanished entirely.】

【"It's over. Everything is over."】

【Furina caressed the "Eye of the Gods" at her waist, unable to let go.】

【Its dazzling brilliance stirred in Furina an urge to kiss it wildly.】

【It felt like being able to hug Su Bai and kiss him fiercely.】

【"Citizens of Furidan!"】

【The instant Furina's loud, clear voice rang out, all of Furidan fell silent.】

【"I now declare: the prophecy of Furidan has ended completely."】

【"..."】

【The prophecy has ended—completely.】

【The people of Furidan seemed to have forgotten the thrilling moment just past.】

【They stared blankly at the people around them.】

【After a long pause, they suddenly erupted into cheers.】
