Chapter 772 What an idiotic act!
"It's you..."
Villette gripped her scepter tightly, slamming it heavily on the ground. Several streams of water converged before her, slowly condensing into a shimmering blue codex.
"...You disregard the rules that govern this world, and everything you do endangers the safety of Fengdan. If I'm not mistaken, that monster from the starry sea was brought by you, Mr. Xu Ning. What exactly do you intend to do to this world?"
Xu Ning smiled.
"I'm afraid I can only tell you the answer in a couple of days. After all, like you, I was recently reborn and there are many memories I haven't yet recalled. However, given your status as the Water Dragon King, you will ultimately be an enemy of the gods and disrupt the normal order of the current world. Judging my current actions from this standpoint... Judge, don't you think we are actually on the same side?"
Villette was about to make a move, but Xu Ning's words made her pause, and after a long while, she said, "I'm not like you."
"Hahaha, isn't it different? I've seen your kind, especially that Grass Dragon King Apep. That lady's attitude towards this world and humans is much more direct than yours. She doesn't hesitate like you, wavering between dragons and humans. Is it because she was reborn in human form...?"
"Shut up!"
Perhaps Xu Ning's words touched upon some taboo, because the Cardinal of the Decree and Judgment beside the stage suddenly emitted a circle of white light, encircling the people around him.
They then found themselves in a space that looked like it had been pieced together.
The ground beneath your feet still resembles the stage of the opera house, but the overhead structure has been replaced by the one behind the Opikley Opera House, which looks remarkably like a guillotine.
No, it shouldn't be said that it resembles anything. Now, between those two towering pillars, there really is a huge and sharp cleaver, like a double-hooked anchor, radiating an icy light, slowly rotating above everyone's heads.
Xu Ning was forced to tilt his head back and look at the beautiful ice crystal slashing blade. He discovered that it was not an ice-attribute creation at all, but rather a dense water element compressed into a high-density, ice-crystal-like substance.
With the power of the water element suppressed to this extent, Xu Ning didn't even need to think to know how terrifying this slash would be. Otherwise, why wouldn't he dare to move even when those icy little hands were choking his throat?
"This joke has gone too far!"
Xu Ning patted the small hand on her neck with some difficulty, signaling her to loosen the grip so she could speak.
"You've been holed up in this crappy machine for centuries just to build up this one ultimate move? Who do you plan to kill with it? Let me state upfront that I haven't offended anyone here..."
Upon hearing this, the owner of the little hands on her neck couldn't help but tighten her grip even more.
"Who haven't you offended? It's all your fault. If you hadn't come running up here saying our god would fall, how could she have separated her divine power and divine essence ahead of time? But if she hadn't separated her divine power and divine essence ahead of time, how could she have fallen in that desert, leaving such a huge mess for me... Our god shouldn't have given the spiritual dew to an ungrateful wretch like you. Spit it all out..."
This little girl harbors quite a grudge!
Looking at the white-clad girl in front of him who had the same face as Funina but was filled with anger, he knew without asking that this girl was the true form of the Water God. Cough cough, but the clone outside without any divine power was still cuter.
It's normal to have some resentment towards my predecessor, though; it seems like no one I've met has ever spoken well of him.
However, it's highly unlikely that such a massive decapitation weapon would be used solely to kill oneself.
Xu Ning said in a low voice, "Lord Water God, please calm down. Let's stand up straight and talk. After all, you don't want me to reveal the secret of the Judge's incarnation, do you?"
The girl in white was startled, and the strength in her hand unconsciously weakened. "How could you possibly know?"
Xu Ning reached out and ripped her off, rubbed his neck, and chuckled softly, "Your reaction just now told me that."
This is actually one of Xu Ning's guesses.
The water goddess Funina just said that her predecessor seemed to have told Egolia about her fate of dying.
Even disregarding her past life, judging from the contents of the prophecy tablet, Sky Island would likely never forgive Ergolia for creating humans, and would inevitably settle scores with her and Fontaine sooner or later.
As for Ergolia, you can destroy dragons and create a paradise on earth in Sky Island, letting your child have fun there. I just let my child go in and play too, and you want to beat my child?
Therefore, Xu Ning guessed that Ergolia deliberately chose the water dragon that had perished to protect the pure water elf kingdom she created.
However, Ergolia must have also considered that this water dragon king might not necessarily pity the pure water spirits just because they were born from the same source as him. Therefore, when she recreated the water dragon, she deliberately gave him a human form, so that he could find meaning in existence among humans.
When the life of the Water Dragon King intertwined with that of Fontaine, he would naturally do his part for the people of Fontaine.
So when Xu Ning learned that Vilet's identity was the Water Dragon King, his first reaction was that this Water Dragon King was very cunning, transforming into human form to infiltrate the Water Kingdom, gain a high position, and steal the country!
However, after learning about Navelette's past, Xu Ning boldly guessed that the Water God actually wanted to incorporate the Water Dragon King into the Water God's kingdom.
That's why this speculation arose.
The reaction of this water goddess Funinna just now seems to further confirm my guess.
After realizing that she might have revealed some very important information to Xu Ning, the girl in white glared at him fiercely, then ignored him and turned to look at Vilette.
"Although you may have already sensed it, this is still our first meeting, Supreme Judge."
Navelette was clearly confused by the situation. "You are..."
The girl in white laughed heartily. "It's obvious. I am the successor of Egolia, the demon god Fukaros. Of course, the Funina outside is also me, me as a human, while I am Funina's 'divinity'."
Navelette understood somewhat, but still asked, "Why do we have to do it this way?"
Fucaros laughed, "Of course, it's to deceive the heavens. After all, you know that prophecy, it's terrifying, everyone will be dissolved, and Fontaine will be submerged..."
“Agolia dumped all the responsibilities of saving Fontaine, breaking the prophecy, and the water god onto me. I’m just a pure water spirit’s servant, how can I do so much? I can only ask you to come and help govern the country. I’ll just hide here and try to break the prophecy.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning and Navelette asked in unison, "What idea have you come up with?"
Fucarus smiled smugly and began to recount his centuries-long plan.
"Did you come up with this idea while squatting on the seabed? It's flooded like this? What kind of idiotic suicide is this?"
Before Fukalos could even finish explaining his plan, he was met with Xu Ning's merciless mockery.
