Chapter 778 The villain is actually myself
The villain is actually myself?
Although I had suspected that I wasn't a good person, it was too ugly to be made to look like this. I didn't feel wronged at all when I was hacked to death.
Xu Ning withdrew his hand, watching the teleportation anchor point gradually turn into a phantom before turning back to look at the water curtain.
"Heh, our judge should be getting used to the ancient dragon powers in his hands by now. I should head out too."
Outside, Navelette had already opened her eyes, and then her body shot into the sky like a meteor.
A massive blue magic circle instantly covered the sky above Fontainebleau as he raised his left hand.
"Supreme Judge Navelette hereby declares..."
The immense water elemental force transformed into countless tiny water droplets, cascading down from the sky and instantly reaching every Fontaine person before seeping into their bodies.
"...I will forgive the sins of all of you Fontaines."
Wherever the Water Dragon King's decree passed, every Fontainebleau resident felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of ease.
The feeling was like having a shackle that you've carried for years suddenly removed from your body, and you felt incredibly relieved.
Claude and Linni, among others, in the opera house below, naturally also sensed this obvious change.
"Does this mean... our original sin has been absolved? Do we no longer have to worry about being dissolved by the waters of the womb?"
Fimini patted himself and quietly asked his brother.
Linni's reaction was quite direct; she went straight to the basin that had been placed in the corner of the stage, where the diluted amniotic fluid prepared for Funina was still contained.
Linni dipped his hand in it for a while, then took it out and examined it carefully.
"Without any symptoms of contact with the water of the womb, it seems that the curse that the people of Fontaine will dissolve in water has finally been successfully lifted. Fontaine is now truly saved."
Lynette asked with some concern, "But this is still somewhat different from the prophecy."
Everyone knew that Lynette's concerns were not unfounded.
...In the end, everyone will dissolve into the sea, leaving only the water god weeping on his throne. Only then will the sins of the Fontaines be washed away.
This is the final section of the prophecy.
Clarind glanced at Frynn, who was still weeping on the throne, with a complicated expression, and asked Navelette, who was slowly descending onto the stage, "In the final stage of the prophecy, what should we do to make it appear as if it has been fully fulfilled?"
Navelette tapped her scepter lightly, and the spatial rift in the center of the opera house, which had disappeared, reappeared instantly.
"The remaining prophecies should all fall on that giant whale."
“Clorind, go to Melo Petersburg and inform the Duke that the final stage is about to begin. He will know what to do.”
“Linnie, I believe your ‘father’ already foresaw this, so please go and inform her…”
After a moment's hesitation, Violet looked at Lynette again.
"I'll trouble you to make a trip to Baisong Town. Although I think Xu Ning from Liyue has already reached some kind of understanding with the Rose of Thorns, it's always good to let them know."
"As for Traveler Kong, given your affinity for the water element, I ask that you help me once more to go to the Primordial Ocean and punish that star-devouring whale that brings all the calamities."
Kong hesitated for a moment, but then nodded heavily.
Although he already knew that Brother Xu and that whale might have an unusual relationship, the existence of that whale was now threatening the safety of Teyvat. He hadn't found his sister yet, and he absolutely couldn't just sit by and watch Teyvat be destroyed.
"Is the judge going to cut up my little fish without even saying a word?"
A soft laugh rang out on the stage.
Xu Ning emerged from the Hidden Dust Cave with a grin, casually picked up a gourd, and took a sip.
Sora and Navelette couldn't help but exchange a glance. Although neither of them spoke, they both intuitively felt that Xu Ning was somewhat different.
Navelette said in a deep voice, "You know how much damage that giant whale will bring to this world. I have found a way to punish it through my authority. Please do not stop me and do not become the sinner who destroys Teyvat."
Upon hearing the word "sinner" uttered by Villette, Xu Ning's expression shifted, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"As expected, in the eyes of a judge who is used to judging others, my behavior is very much in line with the title of 'sinner,' but..."
Xu Ning took two steps toward the spatial rift, then fell into it. "Everyone knows that the people of Liyue are very protective of their own. My little fish can only be moved by me. No one else can do it."
With a push of her cane, Villette transformed into a torrent, rushing towards Xu Ning like a waterfall from the heavens.
Kong, helpless, was surrounded by flashes of lightning and instantly gave chase.
As soon as the three entered, a thunderous roar resounded from within.
Almost instantly, a massive tide burst forth from the crack, and the waters of the primordial womb surged forth.
“Once they start fighting in the primordial womb, I fear they will soon disturb the womb and cause a great flood.”
Clarinde transformed into lightning and rushed outwards. "Although we're not afraid of dissolving, we still need to be prepared for the rising water level. We all need to hurry."
Everyone quickly left the opera house to contact various forces to prepare for the rescue.
Indeed, as Clarind had said, Villette attacked Xu Ning as soon as she entered the primordial sea of fetuses.
It must be said that the Primordial Sea of the Fetus was originally the home ground of Navelette, the Water Dragon King.
The moment Navelette entered the primordial sea of wombs, countless streams of primordial water within the sea converged toward his hand.
With a wave of his scepter, the surging waters of the fetal sea burst forth and surged toward Xu Ning.
The water rings that automatically gathered around him provided an almost continuous supply of the elemental power he needed to make his move, converging like waves.
Xu Ning simply smiled, showing no intention of making a move in the face of such an offensive, after all, there was still a loyal "little guy" protecting him here.
The Star-Devouring Whale had already started moving when it saw Xu Ning being attacked.
Almost without hesitation, he stood in front of Xu Ning, taking all possible attacks for him.
Faced with Vilet's tidal wave of attacks, the Star-Devouring Whale simply opened its mouth and swallowed the primordial waters of the womb without a care.
"Haha, Judge, please stop feeding him. Although the little guy's size does have room to grow, he's still a child, and eating too much can cause indigestion."
Xu Ning smiled, extended his finger to draw out a stream of wine from the Dust Concealment Gourd, and reversed the trajectory of Vilet's attack.
"I've heard that the Grand Inquisitor enjoys tasting water; why don't you try my wine first?"
