Xiaowei wasn’t wrong.
Many people in Fontaine were already thinking about inviting Founina back to be the Hydro Archon.
But they had no idea that Founina didn't want to be any kind of Archon.
She just wanted to live a normal life like everyone else.
“Founina.”
Then, Lin Mo’s voice rang out again.
“Ah...? What is it?” Founina immediately stood up straight when she heard Lin Mo call her.
“I, the ruler of Sky Island, acknowledge you as one of the gods of justice in Fontaine’s history. According to your past dedication and efforts for the people of Fontaine, I bestow upon you an Original Fragment and power.”
Then.
The giant screen in the sky switched to Founina’s perspective.
Fontaine’s Court, Founina stood at her doorstep, her exquisite and beautiful face had a hint of confusion and bewilderment.
Afterwards, in the presence of countless people in Teyvat, and the Fontaine citizens who happened to be near Founina.
Buzz!
A strange sound suddenly came.
Only to see a piece of energy fragment burst out of the void.
The energy fragment was radiating dazzling colorful light and exuding a holy aura.
It slowly descended from the air.
Founina instinctively reached out to catch it.
“This is...”
As the energy fragment landed in her palm, it traveled along Founina’s skin and integrated into her body.
In an instant.
Founina’s delicate body trembled, as if she had a sudden jolt.
Then she slowly rose into the air.
The surging Hydro element power erupted from Founina, almost covering the entire Fontaine!
After a while, the boundless Hydro element power formed a stream of elemental force.
It all flowed into Founina’s body.
Her status was elevated at this moment.
When the boundless Hydro element power returned to Founina’s body, she also slowly descended from the air.
“Such a powerful force!”
Founina clenched her delicate little hand and secretly marveled.
Now she could go and get revenge on those few Fontaine local legends.
“Celestia, what exactly was just transferred into me...?"
After the shock, Founina looked up at the sky and asked.
Lin Mo said, “An Original Fragment, you have now ascended to become a god and can freely control this power.”
“Ascended to become a god... does that mean I have the same status as those other gods? Wait...”
Founina seemed to realize something, and she continued to ask, “Celestia, you’re not going to make me go back to be the Hydro Archon, are you?”
She didn’t want to be the Hydro Archon!
“If it came with any mandatory requirements, then it wouldn’t be considered a reward.”
“Then I’m relieved.”
Lin Mo’s voice came from the sky.
This finally eased Founina’s anxiety.
If the price of this power was to go back to be the Hydro Archon, then she would rather not have it.
However, Founina didn’t know that the Hydro Archon’s seat had already been destroyed, and the so-called Hydro Archon
could only remain in the mouths of the people.
Chlorinde: “Ascended to become a god... does that mean Founina has ascended to godhood?”
Nahida: “I think... that’s a fair interpretation.”
Nahida: “Are the gods the same as the Seven?”
Zhongli: “To consider it with general rationality, it is indeed the case. The Seven are essentially gods, a title and recognition bestowed by Celestia.”
Raiden Shogun: “Yes, but it’s unexpected that Celestia would allow a god who is not one of the Seven to exist in Teyvat in this era. It seems that Celestia approves of Founina.”
Founina: “Heh, the Fatui’s servant, didn’t you try to assassinate me that night? When will you return to Fontaine’s Court? Let’s have a duel!”
Founina was full of confidence right now.
She decided to first beat the servant and eliminate the psychological trauma the servant had left in her from that night’s assassination.
Nahida: “Assassinate... did Dottore also try to assassinate Founina? I didn’t know that...”
Chlorinde: “I didn’t know that either, when did that happen?”
Paimon: “Uh... it seems that Dottore wanted to confirm if the Gnosis was with Founina, so she seized an opportunity, taking advantage of the night when Founina was out...”
Nahida: “Paimon, Traveler, why didn’t you tell me this at the time?”
Lumine: “Well... because Founina was scared at the time, she didn’t dare to speak out, so it was just left like that.”
Xiaowei: “See, what did I tell you? That servant is not a good person at all!”
Sumeru: “Isn’t the Fatui always like that?”
Ningguang: “They unleashed the Vortex of the God of the Depths in Liyue, and now they’re assassinating a god in Fontaine. What else haven’t they done?”
Ningguang: “You should be like us in Liyue and expel all these Fatui envoys from Snezhnaya.”
Nahida: “Although it was in the past, assassinating a god... that is indeed too outrageous. I will consider it in the future.”
Tighnari: “Ah, this...”
Dottore: “Oh? Seems like Founina is quite confident after ascending to become a god. I wouldn’t mind having a couple of moves with you. Let me see how strong you are after becoming a god.”
Dottore didn’t really care whether Nahida would expel her from the Hearth of the Hearth.
After all, she already had the Gnosis.
Besides.
This wasn’t something she needed to consider right now.
Rather than considering whether the Hearth of the Hearth would be expelled from Fontaine by Nahida, she might as well think about how to deal with the upcoming reckoning from Celestia.
Founina: “Anyway, I’m strong enough to beat you!”
Dottore: “Then I look forward to our formal duel.”
........
After praising and rewarding Founina, the giant screen switched back to Lin Mo’s image.
This time, He changed the subject: “Nahida, the Grand Sage of Fontaine.”
“.......”
The Opéra de Favonius.
Nahida was stunned.
He knew it, Celestia would definitely find him.
“Celestia...” Nahida’s voice was low, and his tone was full of fear.
His mission was to judge the transcendent lord of the sky.
But with his current power, he obviously wasn’t qualified.
“Regarding the prophecy of Fontaine, Furina thought she had deceived Me. She, who has already perished, didn’t know that I knew about everything she did after waking up.”
“Furina, who arrogantly destroyed the Hydro Archon’s seat and disrupted the structure of the Seven, should be punished. But considering that she has already perished, I can only let it go.”
“And you, Nahida, the second generation of Hydro Dragons in Teyvat, you reclaimed the power of Hydro and became the Complete Dragon.”
“You set yourself a lifelong mission to judge Me, didn’t you?”
