Everyone stood on the rooftop of the Opera Epiclese, watching the receding tides...
The prophecy crisis in Fontaine had co to an end...
From the mont Neuvillette beca the Complete Dragon, everything seed to return to its original course—just like the storyline of the ga.
Now, what Fontaine needed to face was the rescue and reconstruction work in the aftermath of the disaster.
"Focalors, did you see that?" Furina held the Hydro Sli in her arms, gently stroking it.
"No one was dissolved in the water. All the people of Fontaine have beco true humans..."
The Hydro Sli wobbled slightly, as if responding to Furina's words.
Seeing this, Furina smiled.
Focalors, you're still here, aren't you?
"Navia, Chevreuse." Neuvillette turned to the two of them and spoke slowly.
"Though I've now beco the Complete Dragon and hold absolute control over the power of Hydro..."
"I still don't know how to turn pure Oceanids into humans..."
"So it really is like this..." Navia said with a hint of disappointnt, but soon smiled again.
"It's fine. As long as lus and Silver are still alive, that's enough..."
"Father..." Chevreuse murmured softly.
"However, I've already sensed their locations and made contact with them," Neuvillette said with a slight smile, continuing, "They still retain their mories, and they still have their own consciousness."
"So I've arranged with them—once the tides recede, go to the Fountain of Lucine. They'll be waiting for you there."
"Although they can't return to being human for now, at the very least, with my help, you'll be able to talk to them."
"That's enough. This is already more than enough..." Tears welled up in Navia and Chevreuse's eyes.
This outco had already exceeded all their expectations...
Su Yuan looked at Navia and Chevreuse, then at Furina and the Hydro Sli in her hands.
Is this really the best possible ending?
Su Yuan recalled the events from not long ago—inside the Opera Epiclese, Skirk had acknowledged Neuvillette, and it seed like she had sothing she wanted to say...
But she claid she had sothing urgent to attend to, said they'd talk next ti, and then took Tartaglia away with her...
Moreover, besides Neuvillette, Skirk had also acknowledged Aether, Paimon, and himself—deeming them worthy of speaking to her as equals.
Skirk only acknowledged the strong.
Su Yuan couldn't understand—his own combat ability was clearly so weak, so why would Skirk recognize him?
And Skirk's gaze... was truly terrifying...
Though calm and indifferent, it felt as though she could see right through him...
"Su Yuan, co with for a mont..." At that mont, Neuvillette suddenly called Su Yuan over to a quiet spot, away from everyone else.
"Neuvillette, what is it?" Su Yuan asked.
"Su Yuan, didn't you ask before what I thought about that Hydro Sli..." Neuvillette looked at him calmly and slowly said, "Though I still can't be completely certain just yet, this theory... is almost certainly correct."
"Yeah, Neuvillette... that Hydro Sli—is it really Focalors?"
Su Yuan glanced over at Furina, who was affectionately interacting with the Hydro Sli not far away, and spoke.
"Su Yuan, do you want to tell you the truth... or a kind lie?" Neuvillette said calmly.
Hearing that, Su Yuan's heart sank with a thud.
Could it be...?
"Tell the kind lie first..." Su Yuan hesitated for a mont before replying.
"Focalors destroyed her own divinity and the seat of the Hydro Archon... but her soul didn't fully fade away. Instead, it entered the body of that Hydro Sli..."
Neuvillette took a deep breath.
His expression grew slightly unnatural as he slowly continued.
"In a certain sense... that Hydro Sli is Focalors."
Su Yuan listened in disbelief.
Wasn't this exactly the theory he had suspected earlier?
But now, hearing Neuvillette describe it as a kind lie... that ant, perhaps none of it was actually true...
"Then... Neuvillette, what's the real situation?" Su Yuan asked in a trembling voice.
"Tell . It's okay... I can handle it."
"And the truth now is... within that Hydro Sli's body, I can no longer sense any trace of Focalors,"
"I suspect... it's rely fragnts of Focalors' mories that fused into the body of that Hydro Sli."
Neuvillette spoke slowly, his expression heavy.
"When we call out Focalors' na, the Hydro Sli responds—but that's just a conditioned reflex..."
"This truth... I only intend to tell you."
"As for Furina, let her remain imrsed in this kind lie."
"At the very least, it gives her sothing to hold onto... sothing that lets her smile from the heart..."
"Neuvillette..."
Su Yuan's eyes had already begun to well up with tears as he slowly spoke.
"I can't accept this ending. In the end, didn't Focalors still sacrifice herself..."
"I said I would save Focalors!"
Suddenly, Su Yuan pulled out the small knife he carried with him and aid it at his own heart!
But in that instant, his hand was firmly caught by Neuvillette.
"Su Yuan! What are you trying to do this ti?!"
"With your help, we were able to prepare in advance to face the prophecy crisis!"
"And now that the crisis has been successfully overco, this should be a ti of celebration—so why are you doing this?!"
"Yes, Neuvillette, you're right—but among those who are celebrating... Focalors isn't one of them!!!"
"Everyone else's happiness... ca at the cost of her falling into hell!!!"
Su Yuan could no longer hold back the emotions inside him.
He broke down in tears, crying uncontrollably.
"I thought that by doing all this... I could save Focalors..."
"But in the end, it was all just a foolish fantasy of mine!"
"Su Yuan... it's my fault. I never should've told you the truth..." Neuvillette looked at Su Yuan's current state, heart aching deeply.
"Your... fault?"
Su Yuan muttered the words, and then his tears stopped.
He looked at Neuvillette and said calmly:
"Neuvillette... let go of my hand."
No one knew what kind of power was hidden in that calm voice—but to Neuvillette's shock, he realized his body no longer obeyed his will.
His hand... truly loosened its grip.
"Su Yuan... what are you..."
Neuvillette stared at Su Yuan in disbelief.
There was clearly no aura coming from Su Yuan now—yet sohow, he exuded an unfathomable presence...
"I will definitely... create a new possibility—and truly save Focalors."
As Su Yuan spoke, without the slightest hesitation, he was about to plunge the small knife into his own heart!
But at that critical mont, the Hydro Sli nestled in Furina's arms suddenly shot forward at an incredible speed—rushing straight in front of Su Yuan.
"Su... Su... yuh... wuh... Yuan..."
"Su... Yuan..."
Everyone present was stunned by what they saw, and Su Yuan froze in place, completely shocked—
A Hydro Sli...
Had just spoken???
