Chapter 127: Deceiving "Fate"
A strong blue light flashed, and Mao Lilan and Haibara had to close their eyes.
After a while, when they felt the light was no longer so strong, they opened their eyes.
Huiyuan found that his companions were still around, and Villette was also there. After looking around, he found that they were in a space that was somewhat similar to the Opikle Opera House, but also somewhat different. There were some objects floating around as if there was no gravity. This was definitely not a space in real life.
"Look, there's a person there." Ayumi said, pointing not far away.
"It looks like that water god..." Yuan Tai said as he looked over there, "What is that blue thing floating above that person? It looks so dangerous."
"That... seems to be a torture device from country F, like... a guillotine blade..." As a second-generation who has been raised by his family since childhood, Jiang Shou has a little more knowledge. He answered Yuantai's question, but his tone was a little uncertain.
Guillotine? Country F? Death penalty...
"Louis XVI..." Huibara said suddenly.
"Haibara, what are you talking about? What Louis XVI?" The others were a little confused when they heard Haibara's words.
"Louis XVI was a king of Country F, and the only king in the history of Country F to be executed. He was sent to the guillotine and executed by the people half a year after the Revolution of Country F..." Jiang Shou and Kikukawa knew something about Louis XVI, so they briefly explained it to others.
Yuan Tai scratched his head, looking confused, "Hmm... How does this relate to our current situation? And why was the king sent to the guillotine?"
Huihara: "Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine because he was trying to change the country's financial difficulties by increasing taxes during the Great Revolution, but this behavior aggravated social contradictions and caused public dissatisfaction, which led to his final execution..."
Yuan Tai nodded, not quite understanding: "Oh, so it seems that King Louis XVI is not a bad person after all."
Huihara glanced at Genta and said, "You can say that, but it doesn't matter. I guess that thing over there should be the instrument of execution for the Water God, and the person standing over there is the real Water God."
"The real water god?! So Fukalos is not the water god after all."
As if he heard the voice here talking about him, the figure who had been facing away finally turned around.
"Lord Fucaros?!" The children exclaimed after seeing the other person's appearance clearly.
Strange, didn't Huiyuan say that the other party was the real water god? How could it be Fukalos? Did Huiyuan guess wrong?
"She is not Fucaros. No, to be precise, she is not the Fucaros you know." Navillatte, who had been standing quietly at the side, said seriously, "She should be the real water god."
Kikukawa nodded after hearing this, "That's right, the clothes are all different."
Yuan Tai: "Stupid, clothes can be changed. I think it's the eye color that's different."
Mitsuhiko hesitated: "Really? Why do I remember them being the same?"
Huihara agreed with Mitsuhiko's point of view: "The eye color is the same, Genta, you remembered it wrong. Apart from their clothes, the biggest difference between them is their hair."
Mao Lilan stood aside and listened to the children's discussion. She was a little upset. They were really just children. They had no sense of tension. They suddenly appeared in other places and still had the mind to play spot the difference...
Ignoring the children's whispers, the water god on the opposite side looked at Villette's surprised expression and burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry, Villette. I just often imagined how surprised you would be when you saw me and knew the truth. Now that I really saw it, it was really funny. I laughed out loud without realizing it."
"In fact, I originally only planned to invite you to witness my end, but I didn't expect there would be so many uninvited guests. Of course, they are lovely uninvited guests..."
As he spoke, the water god turned his gaze towards Huibara and the others, and said, "Hello, little friends, ah, there is another big friend. I am the demon god Fukaros, the real water god of Fontaine."
Ayumi whispered, "This Water God-sama gives people a very different feeling from the previous Lord Fukaros."
Mitsuhiko: "Yeah, I think it needs to be more stable."
Jiang Shou: "Not only that, her attitude is even more confident..."
Huiyuan ignored the others around him and stepped forward and asked, "Well, Lord Water God, I want to ask, since you are the real Water God, then who is Fukaros, um, I mean the Fukaros who has been in Fontaine?"
Before Huiyuan could finish, Yuantai stepped forward curiously and asked, "And how come you two look exactly the same?"
The water god chuckled and said gently, "Don't be anxious, take your time. I think Villette also wants to know the answers to your questions. Don't worry, we still have time. I will answer your questions one by one."
"First of all, who is Fukaros? She...she is another me, a complete human being, my ideal version of myself..."
Having said that, Huibara noticed that the water god sighed imperceptibly and his eyes looked a little sad.
"Another self? What does that mean?" asked Villette.
"I am actually one of the pure water spirit followers of the previous water goddess Egolia. After becoming a god..." The water goddess continued to talk about the relationship between herself and Fucaros, "In my eyes, she is the perfect human being, brave, kind, arrogant, cowardly... She has all the advantages that a human should have, and she also has all the shortcomings that a human should have. She is the ideal 'myself'."
Yuan Tai was a little confused: "Why would the Water God say that I am a perfect human being even though I have shortcomings? Generally speaking, isn't it better for people to have no shortcomings?"
Mao Lilan touched Yuan Tai's head and said, "Because everyone has shortcomings. If a person has no shortcomings, then he is..." Mao Lilan thought for a while and finally came up with a suitable word, "He is a saint."
"Puchi, what this lady said is right. It is precisely because they have joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, as well as strengths and weaknesses, that they can be called human beings. They are the real people I want to be..."
That Villette looked at the Water God with a complicated look in his eyes and asked, "Then why did you do this?"
"Of course it's to cheat "fate"..."
