Thoughts?
Although Funina appeared calm on the surface, she felt like crying but had no tears in her heart.
I dare not even think about it!
General Lei Dian was so keen on martial arts, what if he suddenly asked her to compete with him in martial arts during their meeting? Would she accept or not?
To take a step back, even if General Lei Dian did not fight with her, the other party was a real god. What if he saw through her true strength when they met?
But Funina couldn't refuse. In the diplomatic documents, General Lei Dian stated that he came to visit with the reasons of restoring diplomatic relations, boycotting the Fatui, and long-term economic cooperation between the two countries. She could still find a reason for the Fatui, but she couldn't fool around with the other two aspects. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain to the Privy Council and her abnormality would be exposed.
Therefore, she could only speak passionately as usual: "Ahaha, of course I have some feelings. As the Demon God Fukaros, as the God of Justice, my sight has never been limited to Fontaine. Meeting other gods and appreciating the power of foreign gods has always been my wish. It is only to protect my people that I have not left the country for more than four hundred years."
"Oh my God, do you mean that you want to face the power of thunder? Please let me record that the great Lady Finina will challenge General Thunder to a duel during the meeting." The reporter's voice suddenly increased by several decibels, and his arm, which was recording quickly, almost left an afterimage.
Funina maintained a polite smile, but she secretly felt something was wrong.
Oops... Oops, I should have said it more tactfully just now, now it’s out of control!
She knew very well that if the reporter really published the article in this way, the next report would be that the great Lady Funina died at the age of 500, accompanied by a black and white photo.
"Ahem, I mean, although my personal wish is also important, for Fontaine, I am willing to restrain my willfulness. Moreover, General Lei Dian is a guest. As long as she does not violate justice, I will naturally not initiate a trial against her. This is the magnanimity and demeanor that a god should have."
"Wow, Lady Finina's speech is as charming as ever! In other words, you still want to judge General Raiden, right?"
"..."
Finina discovered that the reporter in front of her seemed too naive, and was not as good as Charlotte. Although the headlines she chose were a bit exaggerated, with words like "Two supreme beings fought in the deserted sea of Ashes" and "Teyvat was wiped out", at least she had some idea in her mind.
After a lot of effort, she finally managed to fool the reporters temporarily and made them cancel the news headline "Lady Furninna may try General Raiden" and change it to "Inazuma and Fontaine will soon work together to build a beautiful Teyvat."
"Huh..." She sent the reporters away and leaned back in her chair tiredly.
Although she fooled the reporters, how to deal with General Lei Dian was still a problem, and this time General Lei Dian was accompanied by her disciple Fang Yun.
Compared to General Lei Dian, Fang Yun was even more difficult for her to understand. Funina deliberately asked those Inazuma officials and learned that he was not only a disciple of the god, but also the Prince of Ming Shen of Inazuma. Even General Lei Dian would take the initiative to assist him in handling government affairs.
Funina was very worried that Fang Yun would come to test her depth and discover her biggest secret.
"General Lei Dian is a god, how could he hand over important government affairs to others? If things go on like this for a long time, wouldn't the people below think that the god is a mascot?" Funina complained in her heart, but after she finished speaking, she had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
Wait, isn't that me and Villette?
But when she thought about it carefully, she felt heartbroken. Even if General Raiden didn't care about politics, as the emperor of the time, she was still Inazuma's greatest support, unlike herself who sometimes couldn't find anything to do.
Fang Yun, like Villette, was a man of great martial arts skills. He actually challenged the god in public and defeated him, which corrected General Lei Dian's wrong decree.
Even though everyone thought that General Raiden did not use his full strength, whether it was the changes in the celestial phenomena at that time or Fang Yun's transformation into a two-hundred-meter-tall Tengu warrior to suppress Kaigi Island, all proved that he had the power to challenge the ancient demon god.
Inazuma, now there are two emperors in one family!
"Why has Teyvat been so restless recently? Fang Yun can transform into a Tengu warrior and chop down mountains. A Lanaro who can summon a giant thousand-armed Buddha statue has appeared in Xumi. The nearby desert tribes say that it has suppressed the giant dragon that even the Red King fears in desert mythology." Finina sighed deeply.
In order to fight against Fontaine's doomsday prophecy, she has been collecting intelligence in the seven countries, so she is very sensitive to news about demon-level forces, especially since the neighboring country Xumi has not been very peaceful recently.
But until now, Finina still couldn't believe that Lanaro could be so powerful... She had clearly bought Lanaro's wood carvings before, and that was the companion she most desired.
"It's so annoying. If only I could find a Lanaro to help me deal with Fang Yun, it would be great. The Thousand-armed Buddha statue fighting the Tengu warriors, it sounds like the chance of winning is very high." Funina lay on the table in annoyance.
.....
Fang Yun——[About Yae Shinko: Let me try the sword, get down! ]
The Omniscient and Almighty: Chapter 3: Brave Fu Fu, not afraid of difficulties
but.
Funina also knew that was unrealistic.
Regardless of whether Lannaro is really as powerful as the intelligence says, he is a follower of the Sumeru Grass God after all. It is impossible that there is a Lannaro with Fontaine nationality, right?
"But I still want a Lanaro. In Xumi's fairy tale, lonely children have Lanaro as companions to confide their troubles to." Finina's eyes were full of envy.
But it was just envy. She knew very well that she couldn't tell anything even to Lannaro... She had to carry the secret until Fontaine was saved.
"But then again, in the next meeting of the gods, Fang Yun might really be a breakthrough."
'Although he is very powerful, he is probably not a true god. It is better to meet him than to deal with General Lei Dian. I hope he will not embarrass me.'
"Fang Yun is of a very high status. He is now the real monarch of Inazuma. General Lei Dian's behavior in assisting him also proves this. As long as I respond appropriately, choosing to negotiate with him will not be considered a violation of diplomatic etiquette. I don't have to worry about the people of Fontaine suspecting that I am afraid of General Lei Dian and don't look like a real demon god."
As Finina pondered, clues continued to converge and connect in her mind, and before long, the outline of the plan was roughly formed... It was not because she was so smart, but simply the experience accumulated over four hundred years.
Frankly speaking, she was not a person who liked to think. Facing difficulties, she had doubted herself countless times and thought about giving up. But when she thought of the terrible doomsday prophecy, even if the road ahead was difficult, Funina had to grit her teeth and persevere.
But before she could finish her idea, the maid who was preparing to clean the room came quietly to her side.
"Lady Fu Nina, are you tired? Do you want me to prepare some desserts for you?" The maid looked at the girl in a blue suit in front of her, and then couldn't help but sighed: "Ah, I never thought that gods would get tired too."
tired?
Finina was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously looked at the mirror beside her and found that she had a sad face and looked tired. Her deep blue eyes also looked a little dim.
She doesn't look like a god at all, but rather like a helpless little girl.
"Lady Furninna, are you okay?" The maid asked nervously.
Furninna came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. Although she was a little flustered, she responded almost reflexively because she had faced countless doubts from the people of Fontaine.
Yes, just like thinking about a plan, at first she might grab her hair in distress, or secretly cry in her bed, but dealing with it time and time again has made her extremely skilled.
"Ahahaha, Emily, when I recruited you, I just wanted to see if you could give me a surprise. I didn't expect that you would be just like the others and be fooled by me."
"Tricked?" Emily blinked in surprise, only to find that the sad expression on Funina's face had long disappeared, replaced by the familiar smugness and arrogance that put the people of Fontaine at ease. "Could it be that all that was your performance just now?"
"How about it? Are you satisfied with this sudden turn? Life is like a drama. Changes and turns may occur at any moment. This is the glory I give you. Cheer, Emily!" Finina raised her hands high and laughed triumphantly.
"I see. You are worthy of being Lady Funina. I really thought you were very tired!" Emily's eyes were sparkling as she looked at the water god of Fontaine with admiration.
But at the same time, she was deeply ashamed of her thoughts.
How could God be tired?
I really envy the gods. Lady Funina looks full of energy every day!
Furninna smiled with satisfaction and left the reception room amid the maids' comments such as "I really envy Lady Furninna for being so happy every day".
She maintained a cheerful smile and greeted everyone in Momang Palace as usual.
It was not until she returned to her room that her smile gradually disappeared, turning into the deepest and most restrained silence.
"How long do I have to hold on? Maybe if I just wait one more day, the month will be over?" She tried her best to comfort herself.
Finina stared at the haggard girl in the mirror, and her thoughts seemed to go back more than four hundred years.
At that time, "herself" who suddenly appeared in the mirror told her that the ancient prophecy would come true, the water level of Fontaine would continue to rise, all the people of Fontaine would dissolve in the sea, and only the water god himself would be left crying on the throne. Only then would the sins of the people of Fontaine be washed away.
Finnina was frightened at first, after all, this meant that all the people of Fontaine would die. Fortunately, the self in the mirror had a way to fight against the prophecy, but this required Finnina to always play the role of the "Water God" well and must not let anyone discover the problem, which just required her to endure some pain.
But Funina agreed without hesitation, because in her opinion, if she could save all the people of Fontaine by just making some sacrifices herself, it would be a good deal no matter how you look at it!
but.
She had never imagined that the "some pain" mentioned by the man in the mirror would be a long period of more than four hundred years, and there was no end in sight until now.
Finina looked away. After she officially succeeded as the Goddess of Water, the person in the mirror disappeared. She had long been accustomed to the days of keeping the secret alone.
"Let's go outside and play with our animal friends. We've persisted for so long, it would be a shame to give up now! Maybe we can find a magical Lannaro." Funina encouraged herself and suppressed the panic in her heart.
Yes, the prophecy was still happening. How could she just watch it happen? Even if she was confused, weak, and couldn't even mobilize a trace of water elemental power, she couldn't give up!
Brave Funina, don't be afraid of difficulties!
...
at the same time.
Xumi, a sea of nectar and flowers.
Inside the huge mountain cave, thick tree roots are intertwined on the winding rocks, seeming to be connected to the underground cavity.
And in the very center of the cave, there is a clear spring filled with a sacred atmosphere.
According to the flower spirits, this is the pool of nectar that gives them life and also the place that cleanses all filth.
But Fang Yun knew that the Nectar Pond, no, or the entire sea of nectar flowers was the last divine power left by the former master of the Water Kingdom - Egolia, and the Nectar Pond contained her origin.
At the beginning, Fang Yun actually had no interest in this nectar pool. After all, this was not a game, and he could obtain pink balls and blue balls by offering the Jingguang Feather.
But the Intelligence Great Compassion Tree King made another move at this time and told Fang Yun an important piece of information: the Nectar Pool, as the origin of Egolia, might become a new trigger to help Fang Yun awaken the water elemental power.
These few days, Fang Yun stayed in the nectar flower sea because he wanted to soak in the nectar pool.
After all, you can get a set of armor for free by recharging your phone bill... ahem, a new form, who wouldn’t be happy?
If he could really awaken the element of water, plus fire and rock, Fang Yun would only need wind to awaken the four elements.
but.
As time passed, Fang Yun's emerald green body was gradually dyed blue, but compared with his other form, he always felt that the power of the water element this time was somewhat incomplete.
"Buyer, is your information sure to be useful? Don't let it become useless in this form." Fang Yun looked at the mental world suspiciously.
It's not that he likes to question his teammates. It's mainly because during the transformation period, in addition to the lack of strength, he discovered that this form actually also has conditions for use: one must have a calm mind in order to exert the strength to the extreme.
"Don't underestimate my intelligence network!" The Great Compassion Tree King was questioned in the most professional field. She sat on the roots of the tree, crossed her long legs, and stood up instantly.
"Back then, when Phanes went to war with the seven dragon kings, the first water dragon king, who was also the heart of the original fetal sea, died. In order to suppress the out-of-control original fetal sea, the [Ruler of Life] created another heart for the original fetal sea, and that was Egolia."
Image: "Official setting screenshot", location: "Images/"
"Even though her authority is not as strong as that of a complete Water Dragon King, it is still the power of the origin of the world."
The Great Compassion Tree King recounted the history of Teyvat. Seeing the shock on Fang Yun's face, the corners of her mouth gradually curled up, and she finally got back some face.
During this period, she devoted most of her energy to developing and guiding Fang Yun's mental world, and only occasionally would she stick her head out to see what was happening outside.
but.
She never expected that the confrontation on Inazuma's side would be so fierce. Fang Yun's ability to inflict damage was beyond her imagination. She was so frightened that her heart beat faster just by taking a few secret glances.
Looking at the Eightfold Son of God who was knocked unconscious by an emperor-level beast of burden, the Great Compassion Tree King seemed to see his future self.
But she doesn’t have Coral Palace Xinhai to help her with Hua Haiyue!
She didn't want to be given a stigmata outfit with rolling eyes, sticking out tongue, and making scissor hands.
This made her a little more afraid of Fang Yun, but it turned into humiliation in an instant... She was tied up and beaten by Fang Yun, her subordinate, and now she even had to be afraid of him. How could this make sense?
Fang Yun, I am the Grass God!
"The transformation is almost complete, little brat, learn to respect your teachers!" The Great Compassionate Tree King snorted, crossing his arms across his chest.
She also understood that she might have to confront Lei Dianying soon. If he knew that she had been spanked by Fang Yun, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.
Unless Lei Movie also has the same fatal black spot as her.
But how is that possible?
She was very clear about Lei Dianying's character. Given how stubborn she was, it would be as difficult to subdue her as it would be to subdue herself.
Humph, Baalzebub, do you think you can win this game just by being good at laning? Stealing the tower is the way to go!
Just open your eyes and watch carefully on this trip to see how your disciple Fang Yun bows down to me!
.....
Fang Yun——[Regarding the duo row of Lei Dianying and Daci Shuwang: I always feel that they have very similar ideas. I didn’t expect that the duo row would actually work so well.]
ps: Regarding the character of Finnina, combined with the plot and the text of her background story, Finnina established her own intelligence system spanning seven countries, and was able to throw out valuable opinions when questioned by the audience during the trial. I think she must have some scheming after more than four hundred years, and we can't really regard her as a mascot.
The Omniscient and Almighty: Chapter 4: Brother Fang Yun, what is humility?
Honestly, Fang Yun was a little confused by the high morale of the Great Compassion Tree King.
It was obvious that the "Elf Holy Knight" King Daci Tree had fallen into the hands of a young orc like him and had also been transformed, so how come she suddenly became powerful again?
No, to be precise, as early as after the last transformation, he found that there was something wrong with the Great Mercy Tree King. He was no longer like before, blushing and heartbeating when he was discovered humming a song while hugging him, and he stumbled when saying "Hi? Did you miss me?"
Now she seems to have transformed from the dignified and elegant "Big Tree Mother" into a charming queen similar to Hu Zhaigong, always giving Fang Yun a subtle sense of suppression.
Forget it, don’t think too much about it for now, let’s talk about it later!
Fang Yun temporarily put aside the idea of causing trouble for the Great Compassion Tree King and continued to interact with the energy in the nectar pool.
Although this is the last trace of Egolia left on the continent of Teyvat, it is also the purest part of the source of her power, containing her core authority over the primordial fetal sea.
