Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Looking at the dreamlike scene on the stage, Villette glanced at Chang Ming beside him, and then said to himself:

"So the power you asked me to output... can it be used in this way?"

Hearing Villette's ambiguous words, Chang Ming spread his hands helplessly and said:

"It's just some little tricks to make the stage scenery more beautiful. After all, it's a public performance, so it's enough to use it once."

In response to Chang Ming's answer, which sounded a bit irrelevant, Villette just nodded and asked:

"You didn't call me here just to watch the show, did you? When do you plan to do that?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming smiled playfully and said:

"The performance is over, and then...when my fishing nets are collected, we can carry out the plan in front of them."

As Chang Ming spoke, he pointed to the troupe members standing at the other end of the backstage, looking at the stage with anticipation, and said:

"You also want to know, right? How many regrets exist between them, and how many emotions you have never seen are contained in those regrets..."

"Sitting in that position, all I saw were the most extreme and irrational emotions in the world."

"May those beautiful emotions... strengthen your understanding of humanity, Villette."

After saying that, Chang Ming turned his gaze to Funina standing on the stage and stopped speaking.

And Villette took a deep look at the man with long blue hair beside him, and an incomprehensible emotion flashed in his gray vertical pupils.

"You are really hard to understand... Chang Ming..."

He said so in his heart.

......

Funina on the stage looked at the "herself" who suddenly appeared in front of her, without showing the slightest surprise on her face.

It felt like... Funina had already known that "another self" was about to appear in front of her.

However, the reaction of the audience formed a sharp contrast with Funina's calmness.

They were surprised and astonished.

"What do you mean? Could it be that... those scenes just now were just Lady Funina's final decision before facing the prophecy?"

"No, no, no, I think it's not important what the play is like. What's important is the construction of the scene this time!"

"Yes! This dreamlike scene, I'm afraid it would take the full output of several God's Eye holders to achieve it, right?"

"And this projection of Lady Funina, this is really... so shocking!"

Listening to the slightly heated conversation in the audience, Funina's face remained calm, as if nothing could disturb her.

The other "self" also stared at Funina in front of him, and after realizing that she had not spoken a word, he spoke first:

"They threw all the pain upon you to bear, and gave you the most difficult problems in all of Teyvat to solve."

"Even though you did everything to protect them, they still defined you as 'doing nothing', and now they have even sent you to the judgment seat themselves..."

"Even so, are you still going to save them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy audience instantly became quiet.

Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps out of curiosity, they really wanted to know what kind of answer Furninha gave at that time.

Although from the result...the answer is already obvious, but essentially, the experience gained from seeing the "process" and seeing the "result" of this kind of thing is different.

Looking at the calm "self" in front of her, Funina shook her head gently and said nothing.

"Since you don't plan to save them, why don't you give the Heart of God—"

"I didn't say I wasn't going to save them."

Finina looked at the "herself" in front of her with a relaxed expression, and then continued:

"As the god of Fontaine, I should save them. Those who don't believe in me...are only a small minority."

"Since you can read my memory, you should be able to see it, right?"

"what did you see?"

Phantom asked involuntarily.

Hearing this, the corners of Furninna's mouth slightly raised, and a hint of pity appeared in her beautiful eyes.

——It was like another "self" in front of Keiren.

After thinking for a while, she said softly:

"You should have seen the residents of Fontaine who explained my identity at the beginning of the trial."

"From the very beginning... you have been magnifying the negative emotions in my heart, trying to make me give up saving my people..."

"But unfortunately, I can see people who explain and even...excuse me."

Having said this, Funina paused for a moment, then continued:

"I admit that I once wanted to give up this inhuman duty because of loneliness and pain, but I still persisted."

"I also don't deny that some Fontaine residents have a lot of opinions about me. They are uneasy about my behavior and have doubts about my ability..."

"But they just want to live a more stable life, that's all."

There was a hint of emotion in Fu Nina's eyes. Before the phantom could continue to find reasons to hypnotize her, she spoke first:

"My dear demon god, I am Fukaros, the demon god of water in Fontaine. I am the god of humans. I will love my people and protect them from disasters."

"It is not my intention to suffer these pains alone in silence, but... this is the only way to resolve the prophesied disaster."

"There is a saying in Liyue... 'When the sky falls, there is a tall person to hold it up', which predicts the impending disaster. As a god, I am naturally the tall person."

"It is my duty to hold up this sky. Protecting them... is what I must do."

At this point, Furninna seemed to remember something. A smile appeared on her face, and she spoke softly:

"Besides...I haven't been alone since a long time ago..."

"Since the day he heard those words I said to myself, he has been investigating everything related to the prophecy."

"On that devastating night, he sent me a plate of cake, and the inferences that came from him, from that moment on I knew...I was not alone."

"Although I still need to pretend, keep silent, and execute these plans in silence, I know there will always be someone standing behind me who supports me."

"Even though he saw through my disguise, even though he saw through my plan, he still chose to remain silent."

"This is his trust in me. It is not reasonable for me to let him down."

As Funina spoke, she gently squeezed her hands, and a ball of blue light flew into her hands as if it had life.

"What's more, I am the god of Fontaine."

"When I was planning this five hundred years ago... I had in mind how to protect the residents of Fontaine."

"And now... it's the same."

After saying these words, Funina's expression visibly relaxed, and a slightly relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Today, the prophecy of disaster is about to come, and this is the best time I have been waiting for five hundred years..."

"As long as we give up the divine power from the Heart of God now and destroy it together with the "Law Compensation Chaos Energy" that has been accumulated for five hundred years... Fontaine can avoid being submerged."

After that, Finina turned her gaze to the gradually illusory phantom in front of her and said softly:

"I think I know what you are..."

"The essence of 'Compensatory Mixed Energy' is actually the aggregated energy of human emotions. Under the catalysis of 'Heart of God'... those emotions gradually formed a consciousness."

"And this consciousness is you, right?"

"Once I combine all the "Law Compensation Chaos Energy" with my own divine power to make a giant hammer that breaks the cage of fate... you will also be reduced to ashes, right?"

"..."

The phantom in front of him fell into a long silence, and after a while he spoke softly and asked:

"Is this really your true wish? Even if you have to endure so much pain, even if you have to endure so much criticism, do you still want to save them?"

"They are clearly the source of your pain, why do you... still want to save them?"

Hearing this, Funina was slightly stunned, as if she was also thinking about this question.

"My... wish?"

After a little thought, Funina came up with her own answer.

Looking at the "illusion" in front of her that was looking at her with a hint of hope, the girl replied softly:

"This is... my choice, my responsibility, and my wish."

"More than any other Fontaine person, I look forward to the day when the prophecy ends, because... I can finally be myself again."

"I have also fulfilled my duty as a god. I have no regrets for the people and no regrets for my conscience."

"They won't thank you for saving them! They won't thank you for what you did!"

"Fukaros! Think about what you once were! Think about when you had the power of a god!"

"Is it really worth giving up the power of God for these people who have hurt you?!"

The expression of the "Phantom" gradually became distorted, as if it was the last struggle of a dying person.

Hearing this, Funina shook her head slightly, and then said:

"Chang Ming once told me, 'You can't judge a group based on the behavior of an individual.'"

"And the person who just defended my identity as a god in the opera house is the best proof of this statement."

"I don't care whether they thank me or not, because I just have to do my duty."

"As for the power of God..."

There was not a trace of nostalgia on Funina's face, but rather she looked quite calm.

"I have lived without the power of God for five hundred years, and I have long been accustomed to this kind of life."

"Next...what I have to do is to fulfill my responsibilities and protect everyone living in Fontaine. That's enough."

Having said that, Finina nodded slightly, and then spread out the hand that was holding the blue light ball.

hum-

Accompanied by a light sound in the opera house, the blue light ball slowly floated up and soon floated above the opera house.

Finina raised her head slightly, looked at the ball of light floating above the opera house, and whispered softly:

"I hope you can save all this...I hope you can bring me and Fontaine rare peace and tranquility."

Perhaps because of what Funina said, the light emitted by the ball of light became stronger and stronger, and circles of blue ripples slowly emerged in the air above the opera house.

As the ripples appeared faster and faster, the blue light emitted by the ball of light became extremely intense.
