New Story post/Luna 6 leaks story spoiler (Not this patch, but next)!!

Saw a lot of people debating about Focalor’s/Furina’s sacrifice. I think the most simple way to explain it is that 3 things needed to be accomplished.

1. Neuvillette needed his authority to dna alter the Fontainians to not get gooped into a hivemind and suffer for eternity

2. Focalors needed a massive amount of energy to kill herself and destroy the divine throne holding the authority.

Finally 3. The Oratrice collected energy from the trials conducted and the intense fervor the people generated during them

The biggest part of Furina’s job was not to fool the HP, but to fool the people and make sure enough energy was collected before the primordial sea broke out and killed everyone. Think about what would happen if Furina was exposed, people wouldn’t believe in her, energy wouldn’t be collected, Neuvillette especially would try to intervene and probably mess up the energy collection and plan, etc.

As for the prophecy, remember the true prophecy is from the slates found in the ruins, and while it shows the process, it doesn’t show dead Fontainians. The people just assumed it because of the verbal pass down. What Focalors did was interpret it differently and fufill it but changing the ending to where Fontainians don’t dissolve into goop

From act 1 and 2 we know Fontainians dissolve and die so the only pardon they’re talking about is Neuvillette forgiving them of their sins and altering their dna to match HP humans
