Chapter 97

【"Still trying to run away?"】

【"This time, running away is just confessing without a word."】

【Facing Arlenoch's relentless pressure, facing the primordial amniotic water before him.】

【Furina seems to have already reached the dead end.】

【"I can't run away—if I do this time, it's just telling everyone I'm a fake Water God."】

【"If I do that, if I do that..."】

【"By the way, Su Bai has already found Fontaine's method."】

【"The people of Fontaine will no longer need to fear the prophecy—but..."】

【"I can't let him know I'm not the Water God."】

【"Perhaps Su Bai is also my stroke of fortune—if he succeeds, all of this will be over."】

【"He will never know I deceived him."】

【"Though I'm selfish, if the people believe I'm a fake Water God, my appointed Pope will..."】

【"Surely be implicated."】

【"As long as I force myself not to show excitement, I..."】

【"Will succeed."】

【What!】

【What about Sigewyn?】

【Then...】

【Then everything is over—my identity will definitely be exposed.】

【It's fine, Su Bai will surely block the prophecy. By the way, if he can block the prophecy, the people of Fontaine will still love him.】

【As for me...】

【Hehe, whatever—it's already been hundreds of years since I stole Furcalos's identity to trick Su Bai into caring for me.】

【But in the end...】

【Do I really have to apologize to him?】

【Su Bai stood at the center of the opera stage.】

【The lights slowly dimmed.】

【"My dear Pope, thank you for taking care of me all these years."】

【"I'm sorry—I deceived you for so long by pretending to be the Water God."】

【"But..."】

【"....."】

【"I really like you."】

Chapter 67: Execution of Death Sentence? Furcalos Finally Appears

Navellet's guess proved correct.

In his past life, Su Bai truly helped Furina fend off many troubles in her duties.

But in this life, Fontaine's duties are mostly handled by Navellet.

As for work pressure, the person who experienced the greatest reduction in pressure in the past life was Navellet, the Supreme Judge.

Yet Furina, entangled emotionally with Su Bai, fell into double pressure.

She guessed Su Bai's purpose in coming to Fontaine.

But burdened with the duty to save Fontaine, she could say nothing.

She could not confess to the boy she loved, could not tell him her true feelings.

The only thing she could do was watch the one she adored, while suffering the guilt of her lie, powerless to act.

Especially, by the end, Furina had completely given up.

She even compared herself to a wicked woman who stole Furcalos's man.

Yet she was clearly the one Furcalos had chosen.

What could she do?

Using the Penglai phrase from after Su Bai and Furina met in his past life:

Do you want to kill us, friend...

Su Bai's home.

Su Bai was stunned—he hadn't expected Furina's final inner thoughts to be so many.

He looked at Lumine and Furina.

Both bowed their heads in silence, tears falling silently, plop plop.

In the livestream chat, wailing filled the screen.

Yuan Shang: "Su Ye, Su Ye, what's going on? Why didn't you stop Arlenoch's pressure in the end?"

Arlenoch: "I really am—what was I like in my past life? I'd rather have been strangled by Mr. Su that night."

Shinri Ayaka: "Wahhh, poor past-life Furina—she dared say nothing, only wept alone in the night."

Nili: "Miss Furina only spoke for the sake of Fontaine, yet in the end, she saw herself only as a thief, a liar—she..."

Keqing: "I can't take it anymore—Su Bai and Furina's past-life story is too heart-wrenching."

Zhong Li: "Sigh..."

Hu Tao: "This is too painful—everything was going so well, Su Bai found a way to break the prophecy, and now this..."

Yaoyao: "I can't take it—I really can't take it—my poor little heart."

Lisa: "No wonder I've been feeling so uneasy; this turn of events came out of nowhere. Poor little Furina."

Aether: "Sigh, what happened to my brother-in-law at twenty-six? With such immense power, he ended up careless, even thinking Arlecchino's methods were like child's play."

Dai Yin: "Mr. Su Bai was indeed careless in the end. If he had taken Furina away earlier, none of this would have happened."

Paimon: "But if we had truly taken Furina away, none of us would have known her true feelings."

Navia: "Partner, do you intend to kill me? Why bring up such things now?"

Clorinde: "Fortunately, Mr. Su Bai knows everything now. I believe he will surely turn the tide in what follows."

【The Tribunal.】

【Su Bai faced Furina silently.】

【The surrounding environment remained extremely noisy.】

【"Our Hydro Archon my lord is truly not a god."】

【"Why? Why did the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale sentence the Hydro Archon to death?"】

【"I can't take it; this sudden influx of information is too much for me to handle."】

【"..."】

【Just as the people were at a loss.】

【The Tribunal suddenly shook violently.】

【"What is happening?"】

【"An earthquake?"】

【"Could it be that the prophecy has arrived?"】

【"..."】

【Boom!】

【The previously calm space suddenly split open with a massive fissure.】

【A colossal whale thrashed its way out of the spatial rift.】

【"What kind of monster is this?"】

【"Oh no, run quickly!"】

【"....."】

【Roar!】

【The World-Eater's Whale let out a low growl from its mouth.】

【Terrified, the people in the Tribunal scattered and fled.】
