"Those girls who were dissolved are because of you! Are you happy? They can't come back anymore, just like my Vinnie!"

He waved his finger, pointing at everyone present.

“You’re just making excuses, inflicting your own tragedy and pain on others,” the fairy Ellie sighed.

"Ah, that's right, isn't it?"

"But what does it matter?"

"Why can they laugh and be happy with their families, while I have to part with my Vinnie? Why?!"

"Do you even remember that you're an adventurer?" Navia was furious, yet also felt a pang of sadness.

Although Marcellus was indeed completely fake, the other person was indeed someone who had been a part of his childhood.

"Adventurer... Heh, to hell with the adventurer's fate! I'd rather be the one merging into the water! It should be me merging into the water! It should be me!"

"But I'm not from Fontainebleau, I can't dissolve! I can't dissolve!"

Just like in the courtroom, Marcel excitedly held the water of the primordial womb, drinking it in large gulps, which overflowed.

"If I can't dissolve it, then the only option is to turn Vinier back into a human, right?"

"I want to turn Vinnie back into a human. I just want her back by my side. What crime have I committed?!"

With a flick of his sleeve, under the numbing effect of the primordial waters of the womb, Vashe even briefly ignored the pain in his body.

"I don't recognize it!"

"You have no right, you have no right to criticize me!"

"You've gone mad."

"Heh...heh heh, as long as Vinier can come back to my side, what's wrong with being a little crazy?"

"After eliminating you, I can continue my experiments. One day, I will definitely be able to bring Vinier back to my side!"

"Police authorities, eliminate them!"

"With this junk?"

Faced with Navia's taunts, Vashe, who had retreated behind the security structure, did indeed feel uncertain about taking them down after witnessing their combined fighting prowess, but he simply snorted coldly:

"Hmph, that's certainly not enough... but..."

"Click"

He opened a valve on one of the walls directly.

The next moment—the originally calm waters of the primordial womb suddenly began to stir.

"The spring in this primordial cradle is held up by this pressure valve. It will soon rise and the entire site will be submerged by the water of the primordial cradle."

"Are you crazy? The Heluo Plain is right outside! Fengdanting will be affected too!"

"So what? I don't care if they die! Those despicable guards, those greedy nobles! They are ten or even nine times uglier than the merchants and politicians of the Winter Solstice! People like that should all die!"

"As for you guys, you should calm down and stop worrying about other people's lives. Take care of your own first!"

"O primordial ocean of wombs, drown all of this!" Vashe, with his arms outstretched, was somewhat frantic and very excited.

In the past, he hated his identity as someone who was not easily insoluble in water, but now, in the face of the primordial fetal water about to burst forth, this guarantee of being safe and sound has become a source of pride.

The iridescent water gushed out like molten lava, and he looked at Navia with a strange smile. "Navia, this time there's no old dog like Kares to protect you."

"You will dissolve into the waters of the primordial womb and become part of my experiment!"

Dissolve! Dissolve!

As Vashe stared intently at Navia, anticipating the sight of her being dissolved... a blue-and-white-haired girl appeared right in front of Navia.

At this moment, the gushing primordial waters of the womb seemed to be choked and stopped.

Chapter 253 Hurry up and bring it up!

"What...what's going on?!"

The waters of the primordial womb did not submerge everything as Vasher had anticipated; they merely remained still, just like the former's arrogant yet abruptly ended smile.

The vibrant rainbow seemed to have been frozen in time, standing still in place, and you could even see the water splashing in the air.

"Hmm, it seems I've arrived just in time."

The clear, melodious voice of a young girl, known to every household in Fontainebleau, rang out in this not-so-spacious space, making Wa Xie, who had finally seen her face, freeze like a duck with its neck being choked.

"If you had arrived any later, I would have punished you in a fairy-like way."

"Oh my, that was quite scary~ Well, let's not talk about that. Have you obtained all the evidence against this criminal?" The blue-and-white-haired girl following behind 'Jiang Qiao (Fu Ningna)' blinked her heterochromatic eyes, smiled and dismissed the question, but her words afterward carried a hint of inquiry.

The fairy Ellie patted her little chest with smug satisfaction.

"Of course! With me, Fairy Ellie, in charge, everything will be a piece of cake! Fairies from the Fairy Kingdom are the most capable!"

"Let me see..."

With her hands behind her back, the light tapping of her small leather shoes on the ground made a crisp sound. 'Jiang Ningna' calmly walked to Fairy Airi's side, glanced at the notes, the evidence of the victimized girl's crimes, and... the entire video recording taken by Fairy Airi through the camera module, and nodded in admiration:

"Yes, it's really quite good."

"...You...you did this on purpose?!"

From Vashe, he could clearly see the images projected by the fairy Ellie. When he saw his own image in them, he instantly understood everything. He glared angrily at 'Jiang Ningna', even subconsciously ignoring the fear that mortals have for gods.

He had assumed that Navia and the others would have discovered it after seeing the notebook, but...

"You all knew from the very beginning that I was the real culprit behind the serial disappearances of teenage girls?!"

"That's right, but there's no reward."

The seemingly casual words conveyed a profound sense of irony.

Without a doubt—before this, Vasher had always played the role of a 'monkey'.

Thinking they were unaware of the danger, they tried to see Navia and the others as prey, but little did they know that they themselves were the real 'prey'.

For Vasher, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, this answer was extremely damaging.

At the same time, he also didn't understand it.

"Why did you do this! If you had known from the beginning, you could have just arrested me! Why go through all this trouble!"

No matter how you look at it, this is clearly a pointless exercise.

To this, 'Furina' smiled:

"Indeed, that would be more convenient."

"But what can I do? I am the god of justice."

"If we hastily convict others based solely on personal subjective opinions or even one-sided evidence, wouldn't that justice seem far too cheap?"

Miss Funina next to her pursed her cheeks—you might as well be more direct.

Are you trying to make a veiled attack here?

...I'm magnanimous, I won't hold it against you!

Navia's eyes sparkled.

The origin of the Rose Society stemmed from dissatisfaction with the childish justice of Fontainebleau—in fact, as a child, she also longed for the operas performed in the opera house, believing that everything in the world was like that, full of joy and sorrow, and incredibly beautiful.

It wasn't until she came into contact with the residents of Grey River and saw the ugly faces of those nobles that she finally understood her father's original intention in establishing the Rose Society.

—If Fontaine, which prides itself on justice, is unable to uphold justice due to the so-called law, then the Rose Society will defend the justice that belongs to the people of Fontaine.

The relatively law-abiding Rose Order has always played a role in filling the legal gaps in Fontainebleau. Those criminals may be able to escape the rigid laws, but they can never escape the punishment of the Rose Order.

Because of Kares' death, she harbored considerable resentment towards the Supreme Judge Navelette, Fontaine, and even the water goddess Funina, since all of this was undoubtedly caused by Fontaine's inaction.

She loved the water god, but only saw him as a mascot or a celebrity.

Navia's views only changed after the conversation at the Grand de Boer Hotel.

“Navia, I am sorry about what happened to Mr. Kares. This apology is also for the Rose Society and for all the people of Fontaine who have suffered because of this.”

“I know your anger toward Vasher, and I understand your feelings.”

“Fontaine needs justice—to begin with, both to clear Mr. Carles’ name and to get the rusty gears of Fontaine’s laws turning again.”

Navia smiled as she recalled what the blue-and-white-haired girl had said to her alone.

She disliked Fontaine's dramatization of trials, as it caused the law to lose its original authority.

The Rose Society's law-abiding nature means they can never become so-called reformers; they can only act as a lubricant, helping the Fontaine government quell the discontent and anger of the lower classes.

But everything has changed.

Let's start with that incredibly absurd water god from the past.

That's why Navia suppressed her anger towards Vashe, her father's killer, and went through with this whole charade.
