……

The people of Fontaine who participated in the trial were all a little surprised at the charges brought by the traveler.

They thought the traveler was going to accuse the water god of dereliction of duty, but unexpectedly, the traveler directly accused Finina of not being a water god.

However, the players in front of the screen who knew more information did not find this surprising.

After all, they had long suspected that Funina was not the water god, and that the real water god was someone else.

It’s just that there has been no solid evidence, and in real life, Funina sticks to the mysterious boss Su whenever she has time.

Even for Boss Su's sake, they couldn't say or do anything bad to the real Funina.

"The charges are valid. Ms. Funina, do you admit the charges made by the plaintiff?"

After Villette said this, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of Funina in the dock.

She had planned everything, but she had never expected that the traveler would accuse her of this crime.

And this is a crime that she absolutely, absolutely, absolutely...cannot admit to!

"I don't admit it..." Funina's expression became firm, and she said firmly, "Of course I don't admit it!

"I, Fukaros,

"Fournine de Fontaine,

"One of the seven earthly rulers,

“[Queen of waters, rivers, peoples and laws]…

“Without a doubt, he is a true god!

“I think the audience here also have sharp eyes.

“They have known for a long time that I am a god, and they will support me.

"Look, even the Cardinal of the Enlightenment has naturally sided with me.

"Are you sure... you want to engage in such a hopeless argument?

“If you withdraw the lawsuit now, I will promise in the name of the God of Justice.

“I won’t pursue the charges against you for your false accusation, and will just treat everything that happened today as a farce.

"how?"

After listening to Funina's rebuttal, the traveler in the plaintiff's seat did not show any change in expression.

"People think you are a god, but it's just based on common sense."

"Well, persuading you to surrender is ineffective. So I want to ask you, if I am not a god, then what do you think I should be?" Finina argued with full momentum, "I have been the God of Water for five hundred years. How did I sustain my life of at least five hundred years?"

The traveler immediately suggested that Finina might be some unknown immortal species, or... was cursed to live so long.

The traveler's speech made Navelette on the podium and Navelette in reality all fall into deep thought.

"Curse... I thought the aura emanating from the god was originally similar to a curse. Now it seems that it is just a simple [Curse]?"

After the argument was put forward that Finina was most likely an ordinary human who was cursed to live forever, many people in the plot and the players in front of the screen felt that it made sense.

After all, in the continent of Teyvat, there are too many ways to achieve immortality, and immortality alone cannot prove whether a person is a god.

Click.

The Cardinal of the Decree also made a judgment at this moment, believing that the traveler's argument just now made sense.

"Okay, don't be so complacent." Furniture was not discouraged and continued to argue with full momentum, "Even if I admit that there is a certain curse on me, it doesn't mean that I must be a [human], right?

“Besides, the biggest difference between humans and gods is [authority].

“Gods can do things that humans cannot, that’s why they are called gods.

“For hundreds of years…

"There are many of my miracles in Fontaineland...

"For example, the [Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment] in front of you, and the [Law Compensation Energy] that everyone cannot live without in your life..."

Speaking of the cardinal who makes decrees, the traveler immediately thought of the young man who was wrongfully imprisoned.

From the fact that the young master was found guilty by the Cardinal's Oracle and Finina has not been able to come up with any explanation until now, it can be seen that Finina has no idea how the Cardinal's Oracle works.

In other words, Finina is not the master of the Cardinal's Oracle at all!

"Regarding this... I clearly said at the time that the decision of the gods is not something that mortals can understand, and does not require explanation..."

"I must remind you, Ms. Fininna." Navelette on the high platform reminded at the right time, "In the Tribunal, the trial itself is above everything else...

“Before you become a god, your identity today should first be a [defender].

“If you don’t follow the trial rules, tell the truth about what you know.

"Then the situation will be very unfavorable to you."

"You actually... use this kind of excuse..." Finina glared fiercely at Navelette on the podium.

"This is not an excuse, Ms. Funina. This is the rule of the Inquisition that everyone should respect."

"So, you actually don't know what the young master's crime is, nor do you know the structure and principle of the Oracle Judgment Cardinal..." Paimon continued, "Those so-called miracles you mentioned should all be attributed to the [Real Water God], right?"

Finina defended herself by arguing that the prince's crime was a unilateral decision made by the Cardinal of the Oracle, and that the traveler could not accuse her of being a fake water god just because there was a problem with God's creation.

Seeing that Finnina was still quibbling, Paimon didn't know how to use the fact that Finnina was not the creator of the Cardinal of Oracle to prove that Finnina was not the water god.

At this time, the traveler, whose thoughts became clearer, suddenly made a request to Funina.

"Let's not talk about those miracles for now...Funina, can you demonstrate the power of God on the spot?"

As soon as the traveler said this, a drop of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of Funina in the plot and Funina who was advancing the plot in front of the screen.

Navelette, who had been standing behind Fernina and watching the plot, and was also secretly observing Fernina in reality, noticed Fernina's abnormality at the first moment.

But he wasn't surprised at all.

After all, he had known Finnina for five hundred years, and he had never seen Finnina display any power that was consistent with the status of a god.

Before, he thought that there would never be an opportunity for the Water God to take action, so Funina didn't need to do anything.

But now think about it, compared to the speculation that Finina was too disdainful to take action, the speculation that Finina was unable to take action because she had no power was obviously more logical.

This is indeed the case.

Although Furninna in the plot tried her best to defend herself, she gave up all her divine powers in order to bring energy to everyone's lives.

But let alone the players in front of the screen who had long suspected Funina, even the Fontaine audience who were not well informed of the game in advance all showed suspicious expressions on their faces at this moment.

"Isn't this... a bit far-fetched?"

"Yes, no matter how selfless you are, you can't be completely powerless, right? A god who has completely lost his power... is he still a god?"

Amidst the doubts, the cardinal's scale of oracle tilted again towards the traveler.

Apparently, the Cardinal also felt that Funina's sophistry was too far-fetched and unconvincing.

Seeing that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, Funina in the dock couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"Hey, everyone, stop looking at me with such suspicious eyes..."

Furninna said in a pleading tone: "Don't you all like me? I am still the same Furninna! You...you should stand on my side, right?"

Stand by me...

At this time, the audience couldn't hear what Funina said at all.

"If the charges are true, then they are indeed very serious..."

"Not just us, but also our parents, grandparents, and even those elders from before... Could it be that they were all deceived by Funina?!"

"Enough... Enough!" In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, Funina directly threw the question back, "Then tell me! If I am not a god! Then where is the real water god?!

“Now you have no evidence of the existence of the real water god.

“No one else calls himself the God of Water.

"Then who else could the Water God be other than me?!"

"There is actually such logic!" For a moment, Paimon really couldn't think of how to refute what Finina said.
