Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 103: Ch : Focalors gazed gently at everyone, saying nothing more
Chapter 103 - Ch 103 : Focalors gazed gently at everyone, saying nothing more
Su Yuan recalled that in the original game's story, Skirk had once said she would go back and punish herself by swinging her sword three million times...
If she hadn't been exaggerating, then her martial strength and skill must have reached an unimaginable level...
And just now, didn't she also mention that the eerie power was a force "from beyond this world"?
That lined up perfectly with his own suspicions...
"Master! I didn't expect to see you here!" Upon seeing Skirk appear, Tartaglia immediately ran up to her.
However, Skirk merely glanced at Tartaglia and said coldly, "You used the power of the Delusion again? And to such an extent?"
Tartaglia wasn't sure if her words were scolding him or showing concern.
He simply scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "I had no choice. After all, we were fighting the eerie..."
"But regardless, you should use that inferior thing less," Skirk said, giving him a sidelong glance.
"Is your grandmaster's armor not good enough?"
"This lady, I am Neuvillette, the Chief Justice of Fontaine."
Neuvillette looked toward Skirk and spoke calmly.
"Are you aware that the All-Devouring Narwhal—your master's pet—nearly destroyed an entire nation?"
"I will need you, or rather your master, to provide me—and Fontaine—with an explanation."
Su Yuan couldn't help but feel impressed.
As expected of Neuvillette—remaining calm and composed even when facing someone far more powerful, showing neither arrogance nor submission.
Indeed, in the previous game storyline, some people also complained that Focalors and Furina had silently endured humiliation and persevered for hundreds of years, only for the direct cause of Fontaine's disaster to turn out to be someone else's pet narwhal.
That sense of dissonance really hit hard...
That's why many people said they didn't quite like that part of the story.
It's like mortals on the ground pay a painful price and fight desperately to defeat a man-eating monster, only for a celestial immortal to show up leisurely afterward and say, "Oh, that was my pet, I forgot to watch it properly..."
"It ate people? I'm really sorry..."
And then after a few casual compliments like, "You mortals are so brave, good job," they just walk away without having to pay any price or bear any responsibility whatsoever...
But then again, this kind of thing is somewhat expected.
Even from the name, you can tell a bit—Skirk's master holds the title "The Foul" Surtalogi...
If he were any kind of decent person, why wouldn't he be called the "Knight of Justice" or the "Virtuous Knight," right?
Still, when it comes down to it, the true essence of the Fontaine crisis wasn't really the narwhal.
The prophecy foretold that the rise of the primordial Sea of Origins was the real root of the disaster.
Even without the All-Devouring Narwhal, there still would've been something like the Howling Sky Hound, the Cursed Calamity Cat, the Gluttonous Pig, the Cringe Shrimp, and all sorts of bizarre things popping up to push the prophecy forward...
Even though the All-Devouring Narwhal seemed to have been dealt with ahead of time, the prophecy was still bound to happen!
Only if Neuvillette obtained the full authority of the sovereign dragons and became a complete dragon would there be any way to truly break the cycle!
However, in the face of Neuvillette's words, Skirk chose to ignore him completely, clearly not taking him seriously at all.
Just as she had expressed—she had nothing to say to the weak.
And Tartaglia, being her disciple, perhaps only enjoyed a bit of special privilege because of that.
"There are only three among you," Skirk looked around slowly as she spoke, "who are qualified to speak with me on equal terms."
Then, Skirk raised her hand, pointing first at Aether, then at Paimon, and finally... at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was stunned.
Aether being the protagonist of the game Genshin Impact made sense...
Paimon clearly held deep, hidden secrets—also understandable...
But himself? That was a little harder to grasp...
Even though he had the ability to rewind time, his combat strength wasn't particularly impressive...
Could it be because of the sovereign dragon's blood flowing in his body?
But Skirk clearly didn't even consider Neuvillette—also an sovereign dragon—worthy of attention...
But regardless, being able to communicate with Skirk at all was already a good thing!
Just as Su Yuan was about to say something, Skirk spoke first:
"The next time we meet, I'll have a proper conversation with all of you."
"But for now, I have urgent matters to attend to. I'll be taking my leave."
Then, Skirk turned her gaze to Tartaglia and said,
"To think you've fallen to such a state... Looks like it's time to retrain you from the ground up. Come with me."
Tartaglia let out a helpless, wry smile, and followed Skirk, preparing to leave the place.
"Miss Skirk, I know you're strong, but don't you think you're being a bit too arrogant?"
"Even if you and your master's pet narwhal weren't the root cause of this disaster, the threat and destruction you brought to Fontaine were still very real. Don't you think you owe us at least a word of apology?"
But Skirk's silence was the most disdainful response she could give Neuvillette.
A moment later, she shattered the space around her and left with the All-Devouring Narwhal and Tartaglia.
Only a devastated opera house remained—along with a group of people who had no idea what to say.
Cough, cough... Focalors let out a couple of coughs as she slowly regained consciousness, and the others quickly gathered around her.
"Neuvillette... you can't hesitate any longer..." Focalors said with difficulty.
"The battle you just fought with the All-Devouring Narwhal... it gave everything it had..."
"This surging Hydro elemental energy... it's more than the deep seas of the entire planet can digest..."
"What's more, just moments ago, it briefly held the identity and authority of the Hydro Archon..."
"But now, that identity and power have been stripped away... and returned to me..."
"Fontaine on land... is already in complete chaos..."
"The prophecy... has already begun to unfold!"
Su Yuan thought to himself—right, that's exactly how it was in the original game's storyline.
During the battle with the All-Devouring Narwhal, the prophecy had already started!
Because of its low terrain, Poisson Village was submerged during this period, causing many casualties!
Focalors raised her head to look at everyone and said:
"We no longer have the time to try other ways... My sacrifice is inevitable...
Only this way... can Fontaine be saved..."
In the next moment, the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, which had been storing Indemnitium Energy for a long time, began to stir...
A dense blue energy dispersed into the air, then reformed—gathering above Focalors' head into a massive blue greatsword...
Su Yuan stared in shock—this was it.
This was the scene from the original game where Focalors was executed.
Only back then, Neuvillette was the only one present.
But now—everyone was witnessing it.
"Neuvillette... Furina... Su Yuan... everyone..."
"I originally wanted to dance one final performance for you all... but it seems now, there's no time or mood left for that..."
"Neuvillette, I hope you've enjoyed the role that belonged solely to you these past five hundred years..."
"Furina, I hope you live well—go out and see more of this world, and love it more..."
"Su Yuan, thank you for everything you've done... for trying so hard to save me, and to save Fontaine..."
"Everyone... thank you all... thank you for everything you've given... being with you all has truly made me happy, fulfilled, and content..."
"It's about time... time to say goodbye..."
After that, the massive sword slowly began to fall...
Focalors gazed gently at everyone—saying nothing more.
