Kapitel 113: Chapter 113

The original power came to all the people of Fontaine the moment Takumi's words were spoken.

The people of Fontaine changed quietly, and their unfinished human forms instantly became complete, becoming real humans. Of course, those from Fontaine who had committed unforgivable crimes were not qualified to become real humans. All of this happened silently, and even the gods could not detect it.

"Oh, why is it raining? Are those scientists who study the weather reliable?"

"Yeah, are they using our taxpayer money to have a picnic in Fontaine at public expense?"

"Oh, hurry up, hurry up, the light rain turned into heavy rain in no time."

The vision caused by the return of the "Ancient Dragon Power" in Neuvillette made the people of Fontainebleau hurry to the nearest shelter from the rain.

In the light rain, a girl wearing a black top hat, with long golden curly hair, and an elegant figure stretched out her hand, letting the rain fall on her palm. She raised her head and looked at the sky. "I'm obviously getting wet, but why do I feel so happy?"

An old gentleman in a suit quickly held an umbrella for her. "Miss, what are you doing? You'll catch a cold."

"My father was wrongly accused in this rain..."

Just as Navia was feeling sad, a law enforcement officer blocked her path.

"Miss Navia, the 'shooting incident' involving your father, Mr. Callas, many years ago has been re-examined, and the doubts surrounding it have been reassessed."

"Please take this information with you. You have three days to investigate and collect evidence. After three days, you must go to the court for trial."

Although Navia didn't understand what was going on, she quickly took the information and looked at it after hearing it involved her father.

"The case of the serial disappearance of girls! Undersea hiding place! Les Vachet, Uncle Marcelle?"

Navia quickly put away the information and looked at her old housekeeper and attendant. "Myles, Silver, investigate these doubts immediately. My father's death is indeed related to the serial disappearance case, and I'm certain that the murderer is Marcelle!"

"What?! Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. I promise to investigate thoroughly and clear the master's name."

Navia, the attendants, and the old housekeeper hurriedly took action.

Although she didn't know why the law enforcement court had given her this information instead of investigating it themselves, she would not let go of any opportunity to overturn her father's case.

**Three days later.**

**Opéra Epiclese.**

The Supreme Tribunal summoned Navia and Marcelle.

The seats were packed with people from Fontaine who had come to watch the trial. After all, the case that had been finalized many years ago was now being re-examined, and the people of Fontaine, who loved drama, would not miss it.

But the person leading this trial was sitting in the best audience seat, legs crossed, watching with interest. It was, of course, Takumi. He felt it was unacceptable to let the sinners of Fontaine live, as it made him uncomfortable.

The trial debate started with a tit-for-tat confrontation and reached a climax during the final argument. The case suddenly shifted from a "shooting case" to a "serial disappearance of girls," instantly causing the atmosphere to explode.

In the end, Marcelle was left speechless as Navia presented piece after piece of evidence, striking him down with every revelation. Unable to refute, he eventually shouted out in desperation, "I can't go back! I'm not from Fontaine! Why? Have you ever experienced my pain? This is all your fault. I can't undo it!"

In this final spectacle, Neuvillette pronounced a "death sentence" under the "Cardinal Annunciation." At that moment, the greatest shock erupted among the audience.

"Death penalty? Although I think this kind of scum deserves to die, wasn't the maximum sentence supposed to be life imprisonment?"

"Yeah, how could the ruling come to this?"

"In five hundred years, I've never heard of a case involving the death penalty."

"What?! Death penalty?!" Marcelle was wide-eyed. It was because Fontaine had no death penalty that he dared to act with impunity. If he succeeded, his lover would return; if he failed, he would simply live out his life in Meropide.

"Quiet!"

At this time, Furina stood up from her seat, aqua-blue light radiating from her body, as if there were stairs in mid-air. The god's presence instantly silenced the noisy audience. Though their Fontaine deity was usually as friendly as a celebrity, they always remembered she was a deity and not to be blasphemed.

Moreover, Lady Furina, who had never shown her divine power, had recently demonstrated a terrifying power that had shocked the whole world.

"Now, I want to announce something here, to reveal the whole truth to the people. The people of Fontaine are now qualified to know the truth."

Furina opened her arms, acting as dramatically as always. Then, she told everyone about the original sin of the people of Fontaine and their true origins.

"However, the people of Fontaine's original sin has been forgiven by Celestia, and through my unremitting efforts, Celestia allows the people of Fontaine to become real humans."

Then her tone changed.

"However, if those originally guilty continue to carry sins upon themselves, they will not be forgiven by Celestia. If they add sin to sin, they will still be dissolved in water."

The quiet auditorium erupted once more.

"So that's it! This is amazing!"

"Yes, yes, the truth is finally revealed! It's unbelievable that we weren't real humans!"

"Thank you so much, Lady Furina. Lady Furina has silently done so much for us."

"Forgive me for misunderstanding you, Lady Furina. I thought you were neglecting your duties by becoming a celebrity. Please forgive me, Lady Furina."

"The sinner still isn't a complete human? He deserves it. This is divine punishment."

"Is today the day Lady Furina mentioned when all sins in the world would be judged?"

"Oh, it turns out that day was today. Lady Furina is truly great."

The people in the audience believed the miracle that had occurred when the world's door opened was due to Furina's efforts to make the people of Fontaine complete humans.

Seeing the scene getting livelier, Neuvillette glanced at Furina, wanting everyone to calm down. He tapped his cane on the ground. "Quiet!"

The auditorium fell silent instantly.

Furina continued, "As for the death penalty, it ensures that justice is upheld and that those who intentionally undermine social stability and harm innocent lives think twice before committing crimes. Only severe punishment can make people realize the gravity of their actions."

"From now on, Fontaine's laws will include the death penalty. I hope that no one will ever be sentenced to this ultimate punishment again."

The people in the audience agreed with Furina's words. Furthermore, since Furina had saved them and made them real humans, they supported their deity unconditionally.

"Support Lady Furina!"

"Yes, I support the death penalty. The truly heinous should die. Life imprisonment is too lenient."

"Yes, I support the death penalty. Furina is the God of Justice, and her words are absolutely correct."

Next, Marcelle was dragged out by the law enforcement officers of the Tribunal, screaming like a pig about to be slaughtered.

After the case ended and the audience left, topics such as "The Case of the Serial Disappearance of Girls," "Fontaine Prophecy," "Original Seawater," "Real Humans," and "Death Penalty" instantly became headlines in Fontaine's newspapers, and these topics were the talk of the town.

The audience left, but Neuvillette, Furina, and Takumi remained in the Opéra Epiclese.

"It was a good show. I enjoyed watching it," Takumi said, clapping his hands as he stood up from the audience seat.

Neuvillette replied, "As long as you're happy."

Furina said cautiously, "Lord Tianli, such cases are actually quite rare in Fontaine."

She was afraid that if Lord Tianli said, "There are too many sinners in Fontaine," she would be in trouble.

Takumi stretched out his finger and flicked Furina's forehead, interrupting her anxious thoughts. "The show is over. It's time to catch the little fish that secretly drank the original seawater and make soup."
