Chapter 189 Fukalos
Finally, what appeared in front was not the same unchanging scenery, but a semi-open room with a wooden bed and a table in it, and a person-high dressing mirror in the corner.
Finina paused for a moment, as if she understood something. She walked slowly but firmly towards the mirror, step by step.
Sure enough, the person reflected in the mirror was not her at all, but a long-haired girl who looked exactly like her but had a more gentle temperament.
Wearing divine attire, with long hair flowing down behind her, also with a strand of highlights in her white hair, she gazed at the girl in front of the mirror with a gentle smile.
"You are - the me in the mirror." Furniture blurted out these words, and her face turned slightly red the moment she said them. After all, in a broad sense, the person opposite her was the real god, and she was just an ordinary human who had survived to this day with the help of the curse.
The god on the other side chuckled. She spread her hands, looked at Funina with a smile, and jokingly said, "Are you going to relive the scene when we first met?"
Funina waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no, I'm not..."
"Alright, alright, I don't care about that." The god shook his head. "Let's get back to the point. The fact that you can come here means that the Heart of God that I specially preserved is in your hands."
Finina nodded in confusion. "There is no water god's throne in the sky anymore. Theoretically, it doesn't matter if I don't re-crowned him... Besides, I think you can choose a more suitable candidate. After all, I... don't know anything."
Her voice became lower and lower, and her head drooped a little. The habit of belittling herself was not pleasant, but it was the character trait of this identity card. After playing the role of a god for five hundred years, if she didn't have any psychological burden, Funina felt that she could apply for an Oscar award.
Similarly, the psychological burden in the identity card is what to do if the public's expectations are not met, what to do if the other self's mission is not completed, what to do if she is exposed, and - will Fontaine perish in her hands?
The self-deprecation became more and more serious, and it became increasingly difficult for her to take off the mask of god and be her true self, because even Funina could not figure out who she really was. Was she the water god Fukaros who was high above, watching the trial drama, or was she the ordinary person Funina who was particularly worried about what flavor of macaroni to eat?
"Why do you think so lowly of yourself, Funina?" The water god's voice was very gentle, causing ripples in the girl's heart. She looked up and saw the water god standing opposite her, looking at Funina gently and attentively. "You obviously did a good job, didn't you?"
"I..." Furniture turned her head away. What should she say? Should she say that the "Furniture" who had endured five hundred years of loneliness was not her? Should she say that she was just the owner of an ID card? Should she say that the person who needed her comfort was not actually her?
Come on, after seeing the power of the gods, Furniture suppressed her honest thoughts. After all, these were just the plots of the ID card. Furniture's goal was to go home, so she would not ask for trouble. So - she could only say to the little girl in the ID card with an apology, "I'm sorry, I stole your gentleness and kindness."
"Don't think like that. Finina, you are my favorite and most admired human being. You are also the most perfect human being, the only human being I envisioned and hoped to become. It is unfair to let you bear all this. The Heart of God has chosen you, so it is yours. You are the new God of Water and you still have the power to control water, but - you will no longer have a throne."
Just as Fininna wondered countless times why she was not a real water god when facing disasters, Fukalos, as a water god, naturally also longed to become Fininna, the brave, kind and proud human being.
They bid farewell forever while yearning for their own lives. They were twins who had never met each other but were very close.
"So... Funina, you are the most perfect god." You have experience that I don't have, you have the tenacity unique to humans, you have the faith of the people of Fontaine, and you also have a bright heart that has suffered a lot but remains steadfast.
Why can't such a human being be a god? She has already used her own will to save and support the sinking Fontaine, so why shouldn't she ascend to the throne, wear the laurel wreath, be worshipped by the people, and become a true god?
"I... am not as good as you say. I am just doing what I should do." Furniture was a little shy because of the praise. She blushed and shrank her neck. No one had ever praised her in such a sincere tone or affirmed her with such a sincere look. This made Furniture want to shrink into the gap even more.
"It is not surprising that the Heart of God chose you. You just need to accept it. I can sense that you will have a tough battle to fight in the future, and the power of the Water God will be a great help."
When this was mentioned, Furninna's eyes changed slightly. She was a little anxious and nervous. She wanted to ask Furkaros what kind of tough battle it was, but the god in front of her didn't seem to want to say more. He continued, "Well, after saying so much, I should leave."
"Where are you going?" Funina asked subconsciously. The sudden attachment and reluctance from the bottom of her heart seemed to overwhelm her. Funina instantly realized that this should be the residual emotion of the identity card.
With such a strong emotional sedimentation, is this... really just an identity card with card memory?
Or is this also a form of assimilation?
With emotions as the implicit node of change and memory as the cornerstone of temptation, as long as time is long enough, who will know who Kidd used to be? Just like Furninna and her mask, once put on, it can never be taken off.
"As for me, I am already a non-existent god. The only reason I can appear here is because of the Heart of God, so of course I have to go back to where I should go." Fucaros' voice was relaxed, and carried a hint of relief and joy.
"It must be tiring to hide in the Cardinal Judge for such a long time just to plan your own death. However, I have to leave you alone to face the world. I'm sorry, Funina, I still can't go on with you."
"This time, we have to go first." Fucaros waved to the girl. Part of her body had turned into particles flashing with light. Those particles penetrated the surprise and floated and rotated around Furina.
Fukaros looked at the particles, her eyes revealing a peaceful and gentle look. She tilted her head and said, "This is probably the last time we meet. Don't you want to say something?"
Finina pursed her lips, her fingertips touched the cold mirror, and Fucaros did the same.
"...Goodbye, me in the mirror."
Fukaros smiled contentedly: "Goodbye."
In the mirror, there was only a reflection that was exactly the same as Finina's, without the divine clothes and long hair.
This time, she really left.
