After half a month, once again, a beam of light that connected heaven and earth appeared for the entire world to see.
This power's dinsional level was far too high; even gods could not comprehend exactly what it was.
The people of Fontaine, who had not witnessed divine power since the darkness of Khaenri'ah's Cataclysm, stood dumbfounded, staring at the enormous beam of light that linked the heavens and the earth.
In their ears echoed the voice of their Fontaine deity.
For the people of Fontaine, their Hydro Archon, Furina, did not possess the majesty one might expect of a god. Compared to a divine being, she was more like a superstar.
The Fontainians had never seen Furina's divine power before. Her status as a god was sothing they accepted only because they had grown up, grown old, and lived their entire lives watching Furina walk through Fontaine's streets.
From five hundred years ago to the present, Furina had been part of the Fontainians' lives. The idea that Furina was a god had simply beco common sense.
"Wow! That's Lady Furina's voice! That's Lady Furina's power!"
"A beam of light connecting heaven and earth—how incredible! This is the first ti in five hundred years we've seen Lady Furina perform a miracle!"
"Lady Furina truly lives up to being our God of Fontaine. How magnificent!"
"What a spectacular and terrifying power! The power of a god!"
The people of Fontaine gazed toward the unimaginable miracle.
To them, Furina had always been a god. However, now that they had witnessed her divine power, their adoration for the superstar-god only grew stronger.
After all, such a powerful god was approachable and unpretentious, just like an ordinary human—she only had a sowhat eccentric personality.
Wasn't it perfectly normal for gods to have quirks that humans couldn't comprehend?
At the Hearth of the Hearth, a children's orphanage in the Court of Fontaine, the Fourth Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino, known by her codena The Knave, crossed her arms as she gazed at this infinite divine spectacle.
"Such divine might… As expected of one of the Seven Archons, a god as powerful as Her Majesty the Empress."
"Could it be that this is a warning to Snezhnaya because the Fatui have been going too far with their information gathering and ruin excavation efforts in Fontaine lately?"
"As expected of Fontaine's Hydro Archon, Furina."
She believed Furina's usual flamboyance—acting like a superstar—was rely a facade to hide her true strength, a classic case of playing the fool to outsmart the enemy.
And now, it seed she was correct.
After all, not one of the Seven Archons was simple.
"It seems our plans to seek the Gnosis will have to be delayed~."
In Suru, Snezhnaya, Liyue, Inazuma, Natlan, Mondstadt—those who understood the situation and those who did not—whether gods or dragons, all raised their heads to witness this incomprehensible scene.
However, the changes occurring in the world made it clear to them that this beam of light was the cause.
The first unexplained light pillar had appeared in Inazuma, and then changes began happening across the world.
Though these changes were strange, they seed to be steering Teyvat toward a better future.
"The world is definitely undergoing so kind of transformation."
At this mont, walking through the Suru desert toward the Vourukasha Oasis, the third-ranked Fatui Harbinger, codenad The Maiden, gazed at the golden pillar of light through the veil that covered her face.
Her delicate hands were clasped at her chest, silently praying for sothing.
A lodious voice erged from her lips like a song.
"Ah~ How rciful and magnificent You are, Lord of the Eternal Throne. Your divine power is truly worthy of worship~"
"How grateful I am to the Lord of the Eternal Throne for granting salvation. I shall devote my all to You~"
She had beco a Fatui Harbinger solely to gain the protection of the Cryo Archon, afraid that she would beco a mindless Seelie.
She had repressed her emotions for so long, silently weeping and singing sorrowful songs alone.
Now that the curse on her had lifted, she would go to the last leader of the Seelie race, Nabu Malikata, and await the command of the Lord of the Eternal Throne.
At the Court of Fontaine's Maison Gardiennage, a beautiful woman with long black-purple hair, dressed in stylish and capable attire, gazed at the beam of light with her violet eyes. Her slender fingers brushed against the pistol at her waist.
"So, it has finally begun? Conquering another world… Can I really accomplish such an arduous task?"
Clorinde's faith was resolute, but she had been deeply shocked after receiving information transmitted to her by Lady Furina in her divine form.
Everyone in the Maison Gardiennage was to accompany her and Lord Neuvillette to establish a city of justice in the other world.
Not only the Maison Gardiennage but also the elite mbers of Fontaine's Special Security Force were to embark on this mission as well.
Chavoret furrowed her brows, her heart pounding. Her hands, gripping her spear, were slightly sweaty.
"To conquer another world… I hope I can contribute to Fontaine's success."
She would help the Hydro Archon carry out justice in that broken world, giving her all to fulfill the task.
Recalling the information about that world, her gaze sharpened, and she clenched her teeth.
A world like that must be punished by the justice of Fontaine.
Walking along the road leading to the Opera Epiclese, the administrator of ropide Fortress, Wriothesley, rubbed his fists together.
"It seems the ti has co. For those in that world, the death penalty that doesn't exist in Fontaine must be established. I don't mind becoming the blade for Lord Neuvillette and Lady Furina."

The World of Aka ga Kill
Rumble—
High in the sky, golden clouds appeared above the city known as Kyoroch.
In an instant, as though a pebble had been thrown into a calm lake, the golden clouds expanded outward at an unimaginable speed.
Within a few blinks, they had spread to nearby cities, and soon, nearly half the sky of the entire world was engulfed.
Blue light, like rays of hope, filtered through the gaps in the golden clouds and shone down on the earth. It lit up the people's faces, reflecting in their eyes.
In the city of Kyoroch, the ones truly in control were not the city lords but a religious group called Path of Peace.
The bishop, who was already troubled by the vice leader Bolic, whom the Imperial Pri Minister had planted as a spy to control Path of Peace, looked up at the sky in shock.
Exclamations of astonishnt echoed around him.
"Good heavens! Look at the sky! A miracle! Is this a miracle?"
"The sky has turned golden! Is a god descending upon us?"
"This is unbelievable!"
The Imperial Capital.
While the people cried out in awe at the changes in the sky, inside the palace, the true manipulator behind the empire's corruption and darkness, Pri Minister Honest, sat eating at, his face dripping with grease. He looked at the puppet young emperor and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Your Majesty, look! Even the gods in the heavens are using miracles to celebrate the golden age of the empire that you have created! This is truly extraordinary!"
Under the threatening gaze of Pri Minister Honest, the other officials chid in.
"That's right, that's right! Even the gods are singing praises of His Majesty!"
"The empire is in a state of peace and prosperity!"
"This is truly wonderful."
The young emperor looked at the sky outside the great hall and nodded. "Indeed. But the empire's current prosperity would not have been possible without Pri Minister and the virtuous ministers."
Far to the northern frontier of the empire.
In a military camp, Esdeath, who was drinking with her soldiers, looked at the sky, her brows furrowing as she listened to the exclamations of the soldiers around her.
Before she could reprimand them, the sky presented an even more unimaginable sight.
The golden clouds swirling in the sky began to spin, displaying nature's overwhelming and terrifying power. The spinning vortex expanded, forming a colossal circular void ten tis larger than the Imperial Capital.
In the center of the vortex, a massive blue scale appeared under the stunned gazes of people across the world.
Along with the scale ca a voice that descended rcilessly from the heavens.
The voice reverberated, striking into the hearts of all who heard it. Those with hands stained in sin could not help but feel fear rise in their hearts, as though they were compelled to kneel and confess their guilt.
anwhile, those tornted by evil and suffering gazed at the enormous scale, tears of longing and hope streaming down their faces, as though the god's voice promised salvation.
"I, Focalors de Fontaine, Queen of All Waters, Kindreds, Peoples and Laws, the God of Justice and Water, hereby descend upon this decaying world to deliver the judgnt of justice—"
