As a professional actor who had performed on stage for five hundred years, Furina naturally knew how to stir the audience's emotions.
Facing such a situation of being abandoned by all, Furina knew exactly what she should do.
In a duel alone, she couldn't defeat Clorinde, so she could only approach it from the perspective of Judgment.
As the God of Fontaine, she knew better than anyone else the true nature of these audience members, so...
"As long as I stir their emotions, ensuring that the Oratrice Mecanique D'analyse Cardinale does not declare me guilty... then I will win."
"I will... protect you all!"
Watching the audience whose emotions had been stirred by Furina, Neuvillette sighed softly.
"Alas..."
To be honest, he really didn't want to reach this point, which was why there was the conversation in the large magic box earlier.
This last resort... could it really succeed?
Neuvillette couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
And just as Neuvillette was feeling a bit unsettled, Furina quietly turned around, looked at the high-seated Neuvillette, and gently asked:
"Mr. Chief Justice, who is my opponent?"
Before Neuvillette could react, the Golden-haired Traveler stepped forward and said:
"Me."
Hearing this, Furina nodded knowingly.
"I see... both a witness and a fated opponent... what a dramatic performance..."
With that said, Furina walked calmly to the defendant's stand, and then asked:
"Before the Judgment officially begins... I have some questions I'd like to ask you."
"How much preparation did you make to bring me into this 'Irrefutable Judgment'?"
Paimon nodded gently, then began to speak:
"Actually, we started preparing ever since that day you had a dispute with Neuvillette. As for the content of the preparations..."
Before Paimon could finish, Navia, sitting in the audience, spoke first:
"Our Spina di Rosula's task was the simplest, and we didn't need to prepare much, so let me go first."
Furina looked at the yellow figure, as if remembering something.
"Navia of the Spina di Rosula..."
"Those who caused a disturbance in the Opera House this morning were basically subordinates of the Spina di Rosula."
"They came to the scene in disguise as ordinary audience members, waiting for an opportunity to incite the public to denounce you."
"With The Prophecy crisis at hand, the public's dissatisfaction with God has accumulated for a long time; only a fuse is needed to ignite the entire venue."
"And based on our understanding and analysis of you, when this situation occurs, your most likely choice would be to escape alone, secretly going to Beryl Region."
"So we arranged a second group of people to wait for the opportunity there."
Hearing this, Furina nodded without surprise.
The moment she was brought onto this stage, she understood where these sudden outbreaks of events and emotions came from.
It's just... she was still a little sad.
After Navia finished speaking, Lyney, who was also sitting in the audience, stood up and took over Navia's words, continuing:
"As for the purpose of those Spina di Rosula friends... it was to force you into the 'Giant Magic Box' to participate in this magic performance, which can be called the greatest in Fontaine's history!"
"As a 'super ultimate upgraded version' of that transfer magic from my first performance at the Opera House..."
"The volume of the magic box has increased dozens of times, the transfer distance has expanded from Beryl Region to Iliyas Island, and the target of the transfer—"
"—has also changed from a human to a God."
"Of course, to prepare for this performance, we secured Father's support, and the House of the Hearth expended enormous manpower and financial resources..."
"We chose the location, built the 'Giant Magic Box,' then dug tunnels and opened up waterways, which kept us busy for quite a while."
"However... what I want to say is, thank you, Lady Furina. Without your participation, magic history would have missed such an incredible performance."
After listening to Lyney's speech, Furina nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at Clorinde, who was sitting in the audience, and said:
"In that case... Neuvillette and Clorinde's tasks don't need to be explained by themselves."
"Temporarily gathering the audience and preparing the stage for it, while the Duel Proxy has made all preparations for the duel..."
"All of this... was just to immediately conduct an 'Irrefutable Judgment' the moment I appeared on stage, right?"
Before Neuvillette could respond, Furina nodded gently.
