Genshin Impact: Please don’t bully me, fellow stragglers

(Warning for this chapter being too long)

Nanke stood there, his position changed for no reason.

She came to the audience seat in the center of the stage of the opera house. There was no longer a dock seat next to her, and there was no longer Fonina.

It seems like someone's spiritual space here has been forcibly divided into two by some force.

Nanke looked forward.

In the center of the empty stage, a diagonal double-sided mercury mirror cuts the space into black and white.

Fonina is on the left side of the mirror, in darkness.

Just like the opening scene of a stage play, faint light pours down from above. The girl in a cyan dress stands in a daze while facing the mirror.

At the right end of the mercury mirror, in the exceptionally pure white light, someone was sitting quietly sideways, and his figure gradually emerged.

She has the same eyes, the same appearance, and the same body shape as Funina.

The pure white waistcoat covers the hollow fishbone-shaped bodice, and the long skirt is like the first blooming sea dew flower, fluttering on the delicate ankles.

Funina in white tilted her head slightly and looked at the mercury mirror.

It was as if the line of sight was enough to penetrate the opaque metal and glimpse the figure of the other party.

They raised their hands at the same time, spread their fingers, and gently touched the palm of their other self across from them.

The mirror suddenly cracked and turned over.

Thousands of pieces were thrown into the air.

Like pure screen cloth, the dazzling colors fall down.

------[Fukalos, Act 3]------

In a bright and even pure white scene.

Under the rotating aqua sword of judgment.

Fonina in white, Villette.

Suddenly being pulled into a strange space, Villette looked at the graceful "Funina" opposite, and was stunned and speechless: "You..."

"Hahaha..." The girl looked at him and couldn't help laughing, "...I'm sorry, haha, I really like your surprised expression now, I laughed out loud without even realizing it."

"You are not Funina!" Villette warned, "Who are you?!"

"Hmm, seeing that you are so surprised, it means that I have successfully deceived you," Funina in white stopped laughing and winked at him playfully, "Obviously, I am the devil, [Fukalos]?"

"The Demon God Fukalos?"

Unexpected answer. However, the image is too similar, and the other person still exudes a "divinity" that Fu Nina has never possessed.

Villette frowned, "Why did you lie to us?"

"My purpose is of course not to deceive you,"

Fukalos stepped towards him, his sapphire-embellished toes dropped casually, and his snow-white clothes fluttered around his feet like lights.

"What I really want to deceive is - [Tianli]."

Villette looked deeply: "The laws of heaven..."

"That's the prophecy," Fukalos raised his head, "Fontaine will be submerged by the water, and everyone will dissolve in the sea, leaving only the water god crying alone... It's very troublesome, right?"

"When the water god before me, Egolia, entrusted me with this prophecy, I also thought... Well, isn't this too tricky?"

Fukalos shook his head and laughed.

"She clearly knows that the prophecy will definitely come true. As the seventh ruler of the world, she also knows that [the laws of heaven]... cannot be an enemy."

"This is completely unsolvable, right?"

With a helpless tone and a brisk tone, Fukalos walked up to Navilette, with his hands behind his waist.

"I dived into the seabed alone until the clam shells around me began to bubble, and then I came up with the only answer - only by deceiving the laws of heaven can I save everyone when the prophecy happens."

"The original sin of the Fontaine people was the sin of being created as a human being... I have always liked humans, so after becoming the water god, I separated my godhead from my body, leaving only myself like a newly born human being. .”

Villette's expression suddenly changed: "Could she be..."

"That's right." Fukalos nodded, confirming his idea, "That's Funina."

"She has joy, anger, sorrow and joy. She is arrogant when she should be arrogant, and cowardly when she should be cowardly."

"Her advantages are the advantages that only humans can have, and her shortcomings are also the shortcomings that only humans have."

"But in my eyes, Funina is the perfect human being, because she is exactly the same as a real human being, the ideal, myself."

Fukalos said quietly.

"-Then I cursed her."

------[Funina, Act 1]------

The light source goes out.

A beam of white light hit the center of the stage, scorching the dark blue throne decorated with gold. In the center of the throne, a noble scepter is placed.

"Although the Privy Council has already announced to the public that I will succeed the Water God,"

That voice rings the silence.

"But this is the first time to face the people directly like this..."

Breathe in, breathe out.

"Anyway, let's act natural first."

It seems that after gaining enough courage, he will carefully put away his ignorance and cowardice.

When warm cheers suddenly resounded through the hall, a girl in a dark blue dress appeared from the darkness, walked stiffly, faced the audience seat where Nanke was, picked up the scepter, and took a seat in the throne.

"Uh... Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Opéra Opéra Opéra tonight,"

The girl raised her head, held her dry voice, and spoke loudly with a slight trembling.

"I believe you have heard about my succession as Water Goddess. Yes, I am Funina de Fontaine, your new Water Goddess..."

Be as sincere as you can.

He spoke the lines he had memorized hundreds of times fluently.

Funina gradually relaxed.

"...I will do my best to bring everyone a fair and just era. As the water god Fukalos, and also the god of justice, I would like to thank everyone again for coming. If you have any questions or comments in the future..."

[Is this the new water god? ]

Questions suddenly sounded around Nanke, who was empty.

[Could it be that the Privy Council is fooling us? ]

There was also a sound coming from the other side.

[She also asked us to give her advice? ]

[As a god who is higher than humans, shouldn’t he be stronger? ]

[Isn't it a puppet pushed up by the Privy Council? ]

The person at a high place listened to all the sounds. He was just rejoicing that the speech ended successfully, but his relaxed expression became tense again.

"Uh, everyone...!" Funina panicked.

The trembling voice was amplified by the microphone.

Funina clenched the scepter helplessly, her joints turning blue and white, and sweat dripping from her fingertips.

"Haha! Hahahaha..." After a while, amid the wave of doubts, Funina suddenly began to laugh dryly.

She stood up quickly, like a cornered little animal, waving the scepter of the gods high, driving away the invisible monsters in the air, and said loudly: "That's right! That's right! My people, only you are worthy of this." My rule, Funina!"

The idle chatter and astonishment fell into silence.
