"Haha~ Don't mind me, I just suddenly wanted to see you like this~ Hmm, you're cute."
"Alright, alright, I admit it. I'm not Funina, just an outsider temporarily borrowing this body..." 'Funina' said with a smile, gently touching her slender waist as she faced Fukaros.
But Fucarus gave her a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"
The decree states that the Cardinal's interior is a special space that can only contain consciousness. In other words, at this moment, [Furina]'s physical body is still outside, and the 'Furina' that is presented at this moment is [Furina]'s spiritual inner self.
This kind of thing is theoretically impossible to fake, especially in the face of Fukalos, the [Funina's Godhood Plugin].
And that posture just now...
Recalling that girlish playfulness, Fukaros twitched the corner of her mouth—that's me!
It's like looking in a mirror.
Unfazed by Fucaros's disdainful look, Jiang Qiao—'Furina'—smiled and said:
"Well, using a term you're more familiar with, I should be called the 'Fifth Descendant'."
"..."
Upon hearing this title, Fukalos paused for a moment, stared at 'Funina' for a while, and then showed a look of sudden realization.
This is not surprising, this is not surprising.
She had been staring at 'Funina's' underwear, but only noticed that the underwear was the same color as her own, without carefully observing the specific size of the underwear.
But upon closer inspection, the anomaly was immediately apparent.
Although this guy is exactly the same as me internally, his size is something that [Frinna] could never possess.
Even the previous water goddess Ergolia could not have possessed such a scale.
Only those who have a destiny equal to or even surpassing that of Teyvat can achieve this.
If it is an Adventist, then there is Phanes, the First Throne, as a reference point.
It's not surprising that the other party possesses power so great that it's impossible for one to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
"...Where is the real Fryna?!" After figuring out the truth, although she felt a little annoyed at being tricked, Fukaros had a more pressing question than anger.
"Haha, don't be nervous~ Haven't you already met her?"
“I’ve seen him…wait, could it be the man who’s always been by your side?” Fukaros was a little confused, but the next moment she instantly recalled Fuchiao, who was next to Jiang Ningna. Although she didn’t understand the background of the man who had inexplicably appeared next to Fu Ningna, the familiar expression and reaction he occasionally revealed were all too familiar to Fukaros.
She had thought it was just a coincidence before, but now it seems that the man was clearly the real Funina!
"...What on earth is going on?!" Fukalos frowned, her beautiful brows furrowed with a mixture of curiosity and worry.
After all, this development has undoubtedly deviated from her original plan.
Furna inexplicably turned into a man, while the real Furna was occupied by an outsider.
This misalignment left her unsure whether it would bring good or bad results.
"Well, explaining this in detail would be a bit complicated."
"Want to try a more efficient way of 'communication'?"
"A more efficient way of communicating...?" Fukaros asked, puzzled, as Jiang Qiao reached out her hand to him.
"That's right, a more efficient way of communicating."
"I know the sins the people of Fontainebleau bear, and I know what you've been doing all this time for." The blue-and-white-haired girl blinked her beautiful, heterochromatic eyes, her vibrant words tinged with uncertainty:
"Just tell me, I can help you—"
"While it is certainly romantic for things to go exactly as you planned, is that really the best ending?"
"...You knew that?!"
“After all, I am a Descendant.” Jiang Qiao responded to Fukalos’s surprise and doubt quite naturally—the term “Descendant” is a catch-all term; any unreasonable thing can be thrown into it for explanation.
"..."
"Believe me, everything will end in a much better way."
"Don't you want to witness the future of Fontaine with your own eyes, Fucarus?"
The girl walked gracefully to the side of another girl who looked just like her. Her words, as ethereal as a clear pool and as vibrant as a stream, swirled in Fucarus's ears with irresistible allure.
Fukalos wavered somewhat.
Undoubtedly, this promise really appealed to her.
Although that outcome was planned in the original storyline, it was actually the only solution she had to find when she had no other choice.
If she could, she really wanted to survive!
It should be noted that as the successor to the water god, Fukalos had not yet experienced everything before being hastily entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the previous water god, and had to risk his life to find a way out of the predetermined prophecy for the people of Fontaine.
But she was actually very afraid of death.
Fortunately, there is still Funina, the original form, who can carry his wishes.
Can.....
If possible, wouldn't Fukalos want to see his wish come true with his own eyes?
Like the serpent in the Garden of Eden that tempted Eve with the forbidden fruit.
The unknown and potentially fatal allure made Fukaros hesitate.
She swallowed hard, deeply moved, and asked the question that had been weighing on her mind—
"So, what's the price?"
Ps:
Yu Yuan has always adhered to the principle of "not playing any games, but not missing any fun."
However, he was still unexpectedly tricked by the system into a second-generation game that used beautiful girls as its selling point.
What was supposed to be lighthearted entertainment turned out to be something else entirely:
Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the plot is dark and brutal.
It's an all-female game, but the characters have their own lives.
The protagonist of the camera, whose storyline revolves entirely around setbacks and confusion.
It's a universal system, but I can't use it at all.
"So, it really wasn't a second trip to northern Myanmar?"
[Probably not...?]
Chapter 265 Humans cannot, at least should not
"So, what's the price?"
Even Fukaros had to admit that the future proposed by this unknown arrival was indeed very tempting to her.
But Fucarus did not lose his mind or become blind because of this.
After all, 'Furina' had not revealed her intentions at all.
Although in order to save Fontaine, Fucarus did not mind paying any price within his power—everything he could give without sacrificing the lives or will of others.
But if a rescue only leads to greater destruction, then such help is meaningless. At least, Fukaros is unwilling to gamble Fontaine on such an unknown.
"The price... well, I really want to say that there isn't really a price, but given your personality, if I said that, you'd probably be full of concerns even if you believed me." The slender index finger, encased in a silk glove, gently rubbed the smooth chin of this young girl's appearance. After a brief moment of distress and confusion, it was replaced by the girl's vibrancy.
As she pondered, Jiang Qiao, disguised as 'Funingna', seemed to have thought of something and revealed a bright smile:
"In that case..."
"Consider this a transaction—the transaction is to help Fontaine escape her predetermined fate, and the price you will pay..."
"Give me everything you have, how about it?"
"Your flowers, your love—all that exists in the name of the Demon God Fucarus."
"And I promise you that what I ask for will never contradict your wishes or the wishes of the owner of this body." Stretching out her slender arms and gently stroking her rather sparse body for a young girl, the pretty face of the blue-and-white-haired girl shone with utmost sincerity.
"There's no need to hesitate or feel lost, after all, everything you originally pursued was an unknown gamble."
"Compared to your confidence that you can deceive the laws of nature, isn't another being who has descended and is of equal status to the laws of nature worth risking everything for?"
The alluring words whispered in Fucarus's ears, causing the scales in this strong yet fragile god's heart to gradually tip in favor of the person before him.
After all, as he said, everything he did was indeed a gamble.
She gambled that she could deceive Heaven, that Heaven would not discover the truth about Funina, and that Funina could do everything she expected.
Whether this will succeed or not, even Fucarus himself was unsure.
After all, as a member of Egolia's family, she knew very well that only the laws of nature could not be defied.
Therefore, all she could do was gamble everything she had.
But if it is an 'Adventurer' from outside Teyvat, but with a destiny rank equivalent to that of Teyvat, perhaps it can truly lead Fontaine's fate from the predetermined prophecy to a more possible, new future?
As for the price Jiang Qiao demanded—everything of her own… Although doing so would be almost a complete sacrifice for [Fukaros] as an individual, after inheriting Egolia's prophecy, Fukaros had already made the mental preparation to sacrifice herself.
Just like before, wasn't he also planning to shatter the throne of the gods by executing himself and return the power of the ancient dragon residing in him to Vilet?
