Lini: "Fimini! You are finally here. It looks like you have completed your mission."

Femini nodded, and with the help of some Fatui, brought the slab onto the stage…

Paimon: "This is... the 'Prophecy Tablet'? Could this be the fourth lost Prophecy Tablet?"

Femini: It took me a long time to finally find it on the bottom of the sea, and it also took me a lot of time to avoid dangerous waters.

Ying: "The mystery has not been solved yet."

Navrette: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Femini. Please let me see what's on the slate."

Themis, who was hiding in the Oracle and Judgment Cardinal, looked at Finina sitting in her seat with curiosity, but as she ran down, she could only tilt her head and look at the people gathered in a circle below.

With the corners of her mouth raised, Themis thought Fernina looked very cute.

The decree ruled that the cardinal's verdict required evidence, which is why he remained silent.

Now that the evidence has arrived at the scene, it's time to take action.

The aqua-blue elemental force overflowed from the Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment, wrapping up the fourth stone tablet and flying up.

Navilette looked at the slate being pulled away from her hands, and although she was a little surprised, she did not stop it.

Ying: "Instructing the cardinal to make the decision, what do you want to do?"

Navillatte: "Obviously, it knows what is on the slate, and now it is presenting physical evidence for its previous verdict."

Paimon: "The Cardinal of the Oracle...seems to be exactly like the general, and has his own consciousness."

The abnormality of the cardinal's decree attracted the attention of all the Fontaine people present.

Having just been sentenced to death by the Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment, it is impossible not to feel confused, puzzled, and angry about this divine creation, but everyone still believes in the power of the Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment.

The familiar screen appeared in front of everyone, showing the same situation as the last time the girl went missing.

[Once upon a time, there was a special ocean on the continent of Teyvat. 】

A pink and purple ocean appeared in front of everyone. It was the original fetal sea water. The people of Fontaine who were sitting there had heard of it before.

[Most of the life on Teyvat was born in that sea, so it is called the Primordial Sea.]

[According to legend, the composition of the primordial fetal sea is similar to that of blood, and all life immersed in the primordial seawater is indistinguishable.]

[In order to step on land and high in the sky, life evolved blood vessels, in order to keep the original sea in the body. 】

[And the heart that controls the Primordial Ocean, this sea of ​​blood, is none other than the Primordial Water Elemental Dragon King.]

That Villette thought for a moment, "The heart of the fetal sea, no wonder, so this is what it is."

No wonder the ocean called to him so strongly.

Do you want him to return to the womb and become the new heart?

[Later, the Dragon King of the Water Element died. In order to suppress the rioting Fetal Sea, the Sky Ruler, who represented life, created another heart for the original Fetal Sea, named Egolia.]

"Egolia..."

"He was the first water god of us Fontaine people before Lady Funina."

Noticing Ying's confusion, Linni explained for her.

Linnet: "However, I didn't expect that Lady Egolia was actually used to suppress the other heart of the Taihai."

[She is a teardrop that falls into the womb sea, seeking communication and understanding, so she sheds tears. It is also because of this kindness that she committed the original sin that all pure water life must keep silent. ]

Finina stared blankly at the screen that was instructing the cardinal to make his decision, "Original Sin..."

Her heart was in her throat, and she realized this was the beginning of everything.

It is the beginning of everything, buried under the sand and the long river by history and time.

[The pure water elves are followers of Egolia. It is said that the pure water elves were born from the first tear that the kind-hearted Egolia shed out of pity for the dragon clan.]

The origin of the pure water spirit disappeared in the long river of history, and only a metaphor remains: "The lizard's bones turned into mud, and the swan was born."

The newly born pure water spirit is given the mission of understanding all living things: to understand all kinds of things and to love all life. 】

【Egolia let it use this to remember the form of living beings, and it also developed envy for life. And this included envy for humans.

The beauty and romance of humans fascinate them, and transforming into humans has become the wish of the pure water elves.

However, despite controlling the primordial sea, Egolia does not have the power to create humans.

So, the kind Egolia, the great Egolia, and the lonely Egolia stole the power of the original fetal sea and transformed the pure water elves into human form.

And use their blood vessels to wrap the original fetal sea into the body, thus creating a mimic human being. 】

[That is, the power of the original fetal sea in the body of the Fontaine people maintains their physical form. When the Fontaine people come into contact with the water of the original fetal sea again, the power in their bodies will break free and return to the fetal sea, manifesting as the body dissolving and turning back into a pure water spirit.]

[This is the original sin that Egolia has always carried—stealing the power of the primordial fetal sea and creating a human being without permission.]

"We... are the pseudo-humans created by Lady Egolia... but our true form is pure water spirits!?"

I was a little overwhelmed. If anyone was suddenly expelled from the community, there would always be someone who couldn't accept it.

"No, that's not right. If that's the case, we won't be sentenced to death. Even if our bodies are dissolved by the fetal sea water, won't we just return to the fetal sea and become pure water spirits?"

"But then again, I have experience being a human, but how do I become a pure water elf? Who has experience?"

"How should I know? Go ask a pure water elf."

"But, Lady Finina, what's her situation? Could she also be a pure water spirit that was transformed into a human? "

Funina: "Eh? Me?"

Funina looked at her hand in confusion, which had touched the drop of fetal sea water before. Her hand was indeed corroded.

But isn't she a water goddess? Why doesn't she have any special privileges as a god?

[After Gao Tian discovered this behavior, he was furious and sentenced Egolia and executed the people of Fontaine. This was exactly the crisis predicted by the people of Fontaine.]

[After Egolia's death, the Fetal Sea began to riot, and the prophecy officially began. ]

“No wonder the water level in Fontaine only started rising five hundred years ago.”

"Doesn't that mean that as long as Lady Egolia doesn't die, the prophecy won't begin?"

"You may be right, but Lady Egolia and we were executed by Gao Tian. Since it is a punishment for us Fontaine people, there is no way Lady Egolia can escape it, right?!"

“So, the death of Lady Egolia was also driven by Gao Tian, ​​and she was even ordered to die.”

"Why, aren't gods omnipotent? Why is there something that can order them to die?!"

The people of Fontaine suddenly felt that the once familiar Teyvat had become completely unfamiliar.

[I am in the distant past, recording things in the distant future. ]

[In the distant future, the people of Fontaine will conduct a trial on the water god. Here, the last step of the prophecy is completely realized, and the prophesied crisis finally arrives.]

[In the end, everyone will dissolve in the water, leaving only the water god himself, crying on the throne! ]

"Ying! What did the Cardinal of the Oracle just say?!"

Paimon shouted out in disbelief.

"The people of Fontaine will conduct a trial on the water god, and this is the final step of the prophecy..."

Ying stared at Villette in a daze. Even though she didn't know the basis on which the other party predicted the distant future, she completely understood that things were serious.

Lini: "How could this happen? This trial was held to find a new way to save Fontaine!"

Linnet: "But it became a driving force for the further realization of the prophecy."

Navilet: "Our actions have been completely calculated into the prophecy from the very beginning."

Paimon: "Now, I...what should we do?"

Ying: "I don't know..."

Clorinde: "The prophecy is bound to come true... Is this what it feels like to be unable to escape fate?"

Paimon: "If that's the case, the image on the fourth slab will probably appear soon, right?"

Navia looked at Fernina on the stage, "Everyone will dissolve in the water, leaving only Lady Fernina, crying on the throne..."

"........."

Funina looked at the bewildered people in the audience, her palms already showing a thin layer of sweat from nervousness.

"What should I do..."

"Themis, where the hell have you been?!"

A strong earthquake suddenly occurred, and the audience looked at Navelette and Funina on the stage in confusion.

A huge space hole appeared in the center of the opera house, and a huge whale jumped out.

As everyone screamed in fear and hurriedly left their seats, trying to escape, a white figure suddenly jumped out.

"It's Lady Themis!"

The sharp-eyed people of Fontaine saw the white figure and felt completely relieved.

You can doubt anyone, but you cannot doubt the ability of Regent Lady Themis.

Since the other party appears here, it proves that there must be a solution.

The people of Fontaine always have a mysterious confidence in Themis.

Fernina: "Themis——!?"

Furninna widened her eyes in shock at the sudden appearance of the regent.

After watching Themis rush out, he kicked back the whale that jumped out of the hole.

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, a piece fell into the hole.

After the passage disappeared, everyone fell silent.

Paimon: "Themis... So she has been in the Inquisition all along?"

Navilet: "Just now, Themis appeared out of thin air. Before that, I didn't sense her presence in the Tribunal."

Ying: "By the way, since the whale has already rushed out, does that mean that Tartaglia has been defeated?"

"Then Villette, we have to rescue Tartaglia as soon as possible."

"And Themis just fell in too."

"No matter what, I think we have to help Themis."

Clorinde: "Traveler, we understand your anxiety, but before we go to help, we should at least know the details of this whale."

Navilet: "That whale does not belong to Teyvat. It is a monster that keeps shedding tears and travels between planets."

“It is greedily devouring the energy of the planet’s fetal ocean, becoming larger and larger, and is also the main cause of sea level rise.

"And the energy of the fetal sea will soon dry up. The blood of the Fontaine people is extremely tempting to the whale."

"So when it left the sea of ​​​​fetus, the opera house, where a large number of people gathered, became the first choice."

Navia: "Lady Themis just repelled it just now, right? If so, after it recovers, will it come to the land again and target the Fontaine people?"

Navilette: "Yes, it should be said that it has been wanting to come to land for a long time. It only appeared in front of us for the first time now, thanks to the Fatui executive Tartaglia."

“It has absorbed so much power from the planet’s fetal sea that it has almost merged with the planet’s fetal sea.

"Perhaps even if the entire Teyvat is destroyed, this whale will still be alive and swim to other worlds."

Paimon: "How, how could this happen..."

"Isn't that a very dangerous situation?"

Furninna: "Then Violet, is there really no other way?"

Navilet: "I'm sorry, Ms. Funina, at least for me now, I don't have that kind of power."

"But you're right." Turning to look at the traveler Ying, Villette said, "Although we don't know how to deal with the whale, we have to go and help."

"At least holding it back is what we can do now."

"Come with me, Traveler. The two of us working together should be able to delay the time for a little longer."
