Chapter 144: Last Words Time
The previous water goddess, Egolia, had anticipated her own death before going to Canrea. She entrusted the prophecy of Fontaine to Fukaros, a pure water spirit who had transformed into a human.
She knew very well that the scene in the prophecy would definitely happen, and [heavenly justice] could not be against it.
Faced with this thorny problem, Fukaros dived into the seabed and thought quietly for a long time, until the clams around him began to bubble...
"surprise!"
Liu Bai suddenly jumped out of the clam shell, startling Fucaros.
Ever since the battle of Erinaceus, he had always appeared and disappeared suddenly like this.
"Hide and scare everyone..."
After coming to his senses, an idea popped up in Fucaros' mind.
'Has he been reborn?'
"Don't worry, Funina. When he grows up a little, he will remember his past memories."
"Strange, why is my rebirth point different from what I predicted..."
'No, someone picked him up!'
"Don't be so upset, look for it carefully again."
After that, Fucaros hid in the Cardinal's Chamber of Oracles and kept an eye on the situation of Liu Bai and Funina.
And although he possesses great powers, his vitality is no different from that of humans. The only difference is that he returns every ten years.
However, according to observation, he seems to be able to recall his previous memories only after his brain has developed almost completely.
……
After saying goodbye to Liu Bai and Navilette, Fucaros performed an elegant dance alone on the stage, and the aura emanating from the giant sword above his head became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, it was enough to kill any of the seven rulers of the mortal world, and even destroy the throne established by Sky Island.
Even Villette couldn't stop this scene. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
“She dances so beautifully.”
Standing next to Villette, Liu Bai suddenly spoke.
"By the way, what exactly happened? What is she going to do?"
After praising him, Liu Bai couldn't help but ask Villette.
As he had not received the Eye of God, he still had only a vague understanding of everything and had no idea of Fucaros's plan.
"She wants to destroy herself and the throne of Sky Island, so as to purify the original sin of the Fontaine people."
That Villette's eyes stayed on Fucaros, but she still answered.
"Is this so..."
Although he didn't understand what it meant, Liu Bai instinctively felt a little depressed.
At this time, Fucaros finished the dance, and the Sword of Judgment in the air stopped spinning and fell straight towards her.
"Stop! It's time for last words!"
At this moment, Liu Bai's voice suddenly rang out, and the Sword of Judgment instantly stopped in the air.
Not only the Sword of Judgment, but Villette also stopped while maintaining the posture of taking a step forward with his hand outstretched.
"?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Bai scratched his head in confusion. I didn’t say anything either?
Fucaros, who was quietly waiting for death, also raised his head and looked at the shining Eye of God floating beside him in confusion.
"Hahaha, Fufu, why are you so silly now?"
"You always think you are smarter than me, but you forget one thing. In the face of information asymmetry, no matter how smart you are, it is useless. I can obtain countless props from the system that you cannot see through, so I can do anything without telling you."
The Eye of God was shining, and Liu Bai's voice continued to come from it.
"…You are the fool."
Fucaros was silent for a moment, then clasped his hands in front of him and refuted the Eye of God.
"Do you know why I opened the Cardinal of Oracle and replaced your Heart of God with my Eye of God?"
"Because the scapegoat needs to be bound to an equivalent being, I must exchange your Heart of God with an item of equivalent value."
"Its function is just as the name suggests. When the throne of the God of Justice is destroyed, the Eye of God and I will be destroyed along with it. You will be safe and sound, successfully free from the shackles of heaven, and return the power of water to that sea otter."
On the Eye of God, Liu Bai's voice continued to explain to Fucarlos.
"What... this is not allowed!"
After hearing Liu Bai's explanation, Fucaros was anxious to refuse.
"I know what you want to say, but it's too late. The trial has already begun."
"After the Eye of God is destroyed, all my previous memories of Fontaine will disappear forever, but I will no longer be bound by fate, so there is no need to be sad."
"I used the Future Vision tool to look at your original plan, so please allow me to borrow your lines."
"Goodbye, Fukaros, I hope you enjoy your role in these five hundred years."
"..."
As he said this, the Eye of God slowly flew towards Liu Bai, leaving only Fucaros with his hands on his chest remaining silent.
"Hello, future me."
"Let me tell you a secret...it's illegal to commit suicide in Fontaine. After this, you can sue Mr. Otter."
"Also, I hid Fu Fu's Heart of God inside another doll that Fu Fu gave you. Remember not to lose it."
The voice from the Eye of God greeted Liu Bai, then dimmed and fell at Liu Bai's feet.
"…No, buddy?!"
Although Liu Bai's brain wasn't working well at the moment, he now understood what was happening.
Oh no, I got tricked by myself...
As the Eye of God fell to the ground, Liu Bai showed a look of astonishment, and the prop that stopped time also became ineffective.
Fukalos could no longer regret, and even though she wanted to stop it, the Sword of Judgment still fell on her.
"..."
The tears that had not fallen when she said goodbye to Liu Bai and Navilette slid down her cheeks. After the final struggle, she could only raise her hand and wave goodbye in the direction of Liu Bai.
"Water God, Water God, please stop crying..."
The last recording came from the Eye of God.
Then the throne collapsed instantly, and countless bubbles containing strange powers floated around.
The Eye of God at Liu Bai's feet also exploded, taking his body with it.
call out--

"?"
When he opened his eyes again, Liu Bai found himself lying in front of a fox-shaped cherry tree.
"…What is this for? Is this still Fontaine?"
Liu Bai sat up in a daze and found that even the architectural style around him was different. Wasn't it obvious that this was a shrine building!
Shaking his dizzy head, Liu Bai quickly raised his hand and tried to use the earth vein transmitter.
"Oh, I am an uninvited guest. What can I do for you?"
Just as Liu Bai was trying to use the earth vein transmitter, a woman's voice suddenly came from the side.
"..."
Liu Bai glanced at the pink-haired witch who suddenly appeared, ignored her and continued to operate the earth vein transmitter.
"Are you leaving? You have the aura of a shadow. Come over and have some tea when you have time."
The pink-haired witch crossed her arms and watched Liu Bai teleport away from her.
……
Opéra Opéra.
After Liu Bai was swallowed by the Cardinal of the Oracle, a huge whale suddenly broke through the space and came here.
"Hide behind me!"
Nashida immediately protected Clorinde and Fininna, raised her hands and created a barrier of grass elements to stop the huge whale.
"Moo-!"
The whale let out a mournful cry and slammed its head into the barrier Nashida had created.
Although it failed to break the barrier, it caused the entire Opikley Opera House to shake.
"This won't work. The energy in this whale is simply infinite..."
After holding on for a while, Nashida frowned as she felt the elemental power in her body being rapidly consumed.
Clorinde glanced at Furninha, who was squatting behind Narcida with her head in her hands because of fear, and felt a little confused for a moment.
Why would the mighty God of Water be so frightened...?
"Lady Funina? Little King of the Lucky Grass may need your help."
Clorinde couldn't help but remind Funina.
It’s not that she didn’t want to help, but she couldn’t intervene in a battle of this level. She couldn’t even get out of the barrier created by Nashida.
"I, I can't help..."
Finina said this with some grievance, she didn't understand where this big whale came from.
"...No more."
The whale had endless energy, but Nashida was already sweating profusely. After all, she was not a god who was good at fighting.
She tried to use her mental power to control the giant whale, but the enormous energy in its body made it ignore Nashida's mental power.
If this continues, the entire Oprykle Opera House will collapse...
Snapped--
After holding on for a while, Nashida finally withdrew her hands, then grabbed the vines with both hands, let the vines wrap around the waists of Fernina and Clorinde, and took them to the side to avoid the attack of the giant whale.
The giant whale's huge head smashed onto the stage of the Opikley Opera House. The powerful impact directly blew away Nashida, who was still jumping in the air, and most of the seats in the surrounding auditorium were also not spared.
"Tide, I have returned..."
At this moment, a huge column of water suddenly spiraled out from the direction of the Cardinal of Oracle, hitting the whale's huge body and pushing it into the air.
"Girl, are you okay?"
At the entrance of the Opikley Opera House, Liu Bai, who had rushed back using the earth vein teleporter, hurried to the side of Nashida who had been blown away.
He held Narcida in his arms worriedly, completely unaware that Fernina and Clorinde had fallen heavily beside him.
"I'm fine. I've learned some information about this Star Devouring Whale. It devoured the energy of the original fetal sea. Now its vitality alone is equivalent to that of this planet."
"If we want to kill it now, we must first strip it of the energy of the original fetal sea. Otherwise, even if Teyvat is destroyed, it will still be alive and kicking."
Nashida leaned in Liu Bai's arms and shook her head. It was the first time she felt so tired since she was born.
Although she generally would not abuse the authority of the World Tree, in this critical moment, she still obtained as much information as possible from the World Tree.
On the other side, Villette also slowly walked out of the Cardinal's Chamber of Decree.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Star-Eating Whale let out a shrill wail and escaped into the broken space.
"Then Master Villette..."
Clorinde got up from the ground and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Villette on the stage. She then quickly helped Furninna up.
Furninna also fell hard, but her eyes were always on Liu Bai who was hugging Nashida, and she seemed a little aggrieved.
"I understand girl, you want to kill it, right? Leave it to me."
After hearing what Nashida said, Liu Bai turned around and looked at the space that was shattered by the Star-Eating Whale.
After saying that, Liu Bai put Nashida down, rushed over there without saying a word, and entered the broken space.
Although he has no memories of the past, there is one thing about Liu Bai that has never changed.
His wish is always "her", hoping to accomplish what "she" wishes.
For this reason, as a Liyue person, he is willing to rack his brains to help Fukaros save Fontaine, and now he is also willing to help Nashida kill the star-eating whale.
"..."
But whether Nashida meant this is another question.
