Masquerade of the Guilty
Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.
Inside the palace.
Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing, and Ning Fengzhi all had their brows furrowed.
I never imagined that the curse He cast would be so terrifying.
In the time it takes to burn an incense stick, it dissolved all living beings in a town even larger than Spirit City.
Are the common people in Poisson guilty?
No!
There are definitely powerful figures with titles or privileges comparable to those granted official ranks.
Whether they were powerful or commoners, it was indiscriminate killing.
The three of them were even more panicked than the Spirit Hall!
Because He and the UFO often stroll around Heaven Dou City, Raiden Ei Yingdian even runs a restaurant Heaven Dou City.
Who knows how many Teyvat deities are hidden within Heaven Dou City?
He may not care about the people of Heaven Dou City, but that doesn't mean the UFO doesn't care.
If, while strolling through the streets, the UFO encounters powerful figures from Heaven Dou City harassing or abducting women, or something similar...
Will the UFO say something like, "Silent Bottle, these powerful and wealthy people in Heaven Dou City are so annoying"?
Don't underestimate this sentence.
Better safe than sorry, what if He says, "Well, it doesn't look very good, let's clean it up then!"
Prince Xue Lai's sharp gaze, filled with inquiry, turned to Ning Fengzhi.
At this moment, he no longer cared about the struggle between "Xue Qinghe" and the princes.
No matter how fierce the struggle between the princes was, he was still Prince Xue Lai.
If the situation described above were to occur, he might wake up one day to find himself inexplicably transformed into Hilichurl.
Or they could be captured by Rhinedottir and used for experiments.
He could easily clean up the mess, and Rhinedottir would be the first to jump out without even thinking.
Carry out His commands.
Xue Ye also turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi. Ning Fengzhi had more contact with both him and the unidentified flying object, and they genuinely hoped that Ning Fengzhi would come up with a plan.
"Prince Xue Lai, Your Majesty."
"My solution is threefold: first, to benefit the people by distributing more land to them and reducing taxes; second, to abolish slavery; and third, to organize law enforcement teams to eradicate all evil."
Ning Fengzhi was somewhat relieved that he had visited Him and the UFO beforehand.
The person who knew the UFO was extremely Goodness and couldn't bear to see human suffering.
That's why he was able to quickly formulate countermeasures.
Prince Xue Lai and Xue Ye looked at each other, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
It's amazing that such a drastic change occurred simply because the UFO beside Him was Goodness.
But there was nothing they could do.
Compared to becoming Hilichurl, the price Ning Fengzhi mentioned was something they could completely afford.
As for those powerful and influential people who cannot accept this, their swords are no less ruthless.
"I'll try to contact Him again in a few days."
Ning Fengzhi spoke up.
He didn't actually want to contact Him, but what could he do?
His consciousness is everything now.
Let alone dealing with their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, even if we arrested all the powerful and influential people in the Douluo Continent and purged them all...
It's just a matter of a word from Him.
Most importantly, Lord Rhinedoth, the Ruler of Life, was Rhinedottir than happy for them to displease Him.
He heard that Rhinedottir's laboratory seemed to be running out of experimental materials again.
Ning Fengzhi saw Xue Ye and Prince Xue Lai moving quickly.
I couldn't help but sigh.
His mere presence in Heaven Dou City wielded such terrifying influence; he was truly unprecedented and unparalleled.
Heaven Dou City, Raiden Restaurant.
Qian Renxue, who was drinking tea with Him, saw everything in the sky and couldn't help but pick up her teacup, using the tea to cover up her unease.
He couldn't help but glance at him.
He continued drinking his tea as if nothing was wrong, just like an ordinary person watching children fight.
The calmer He was, the more dissatisfied Qian Renxue felt.
His nominal father, Xue Ye, gave him the impression of being dignified but not angry, calm but not impetuous.
It is the composure that comes from bearing the weight of a nation, and the restraint that allows one to make life-or-death decisions.
The feeling He gave her was one of detachment and depth, and composure, that comes with the passage of time.
In short, it can be summed up in four words: mysterious and unpredictable.
By spending time with Xue Ye, she could at least accurately deduce his mood, purpose, and personality.
When she was with Him, she couldn't understand His feelings or intentions at all.
Images flow across the sky.
The scene then returns to Focalors's first-person perspective.
"Five hundred years ago, I noticed a flaw in His curse. He had already determined Fontaine's fate. The curse said that in the future, the Hydro Archon would weep on his throne. But what if the Hydro Archon fell?"
"As a human being, that is, Furina, for the past five hundred years, I have played the role of the Hydro Archon on stage, successfully deceiving Him and all living beings."
"And I, as a deity, that is, I, Focalors, hid inside the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, relying on one judgment after another, and over these five hundred years, I collected 'Indemnitium,' accumulating enough power to destroy the Hydro Archon's throne and sacrifice myself."
"During these five hundred years, the Water Dragon King Neuvillette also came to understand and empathize with humanity."
"If, in the next step, I sacrifice myself to destroy the Throne of the Hydro Archon, the Ancient Dragon Authority will return to Neuvillette's hands. Once Neuvillette regains the Ancient Dragon Authority, she can turn the Fontainian into true humans."
Following Focalors's own account.
Images also appeared on the sky.
Before you is a theater stage, but the theater is completely empty.
Only Focalors and Neuvillette stood on it!
Moving the gaze upwards, one could see a huge blue longsword floating above the top of Focalors's head.
A torrent of blue energy Entanglement the tip of the longsword.
The space around the sword tip gradually collapsed as it could no longer withstand the pressure from the sword tip.
Below, Focalors's face showed no fear, but rather a faint smile.
Just like Tan Sitong, who remained calm and composed as he went to the execution ground, so much so that the executioner almost forgot that this was an execution.
That's it.
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
Xiong Jun couldn't hold back his tears, which streamed down his face and dripped onto the ground.
This was the first time Xiong Jun had ever cried in his life.
"That's amazing! I, Old Bear, am completely convinced!"
"Lord Focalors, if you were to come back to life, I, Old Bear, would be willing to serve you as the Lord of Soul Beast."
"That's absolutely amazing, fucking amazing."
"No wonder, Lord Focalors, you could even fool Him."
