Chapter 448: Focalors Realizes She Has Latched Onto a Powerful Backer!

Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Focalors Realizes She Has Latched Onto a Powerful Backer!

"How dare you!"

The moment the Sustainer left, Focalors could no longer maintain her calm demeanor.

She immediately leapt up and landed in front of Su Ran, grabbing him by the collar with both hands.

"That was the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles! And you actually asked them to become your dogs?"

"This world has gone completely insane!"

"She didn’t refuse, did she?"

Su Ran patted Focalors on the arm.

It might have sounded incredibly arrogant, but now that the Sustainer knew about the outside universe, was this really treating them unfairly?

He was an Emanator of Erudition, after all!

How many people in the universe didn’t even have the opportunity to meet someone like him?

Giving the gods of Celestia an opportunity to pledge allegiance to him—how could that possibly be a bad thing?

"But..."

Even after calming down, Focalors still found it unbelievable.

These were gods who stood above the Seven.

She knew Su Ran was powerful, but she’d never imagined he would be so brazen.

Even if he was stronger than the Heavenly Principles, wasn’t he afraid that saying something like that would make them flip the table in anger?

"Genius, I will report this matter to Her Majesty the Tsaritsa."

Arlecchino had been frightened as well.

The sudden arrival of the Sustainer was anything but a good sign.

Regardless of whether the Heavenly Principles had truly handed Su Ran authority over the Heavenly Order, this absolutely had to be reported to Snezhnaya.

"Go ahead, go ahead. I’ll be waiting."

"I even took Big Duck out with me a while ago. I don’t believe she’d still care about something like this."

He had personally visited the Xianzhou Luofu, after all.

If Snezhnaya still couldn’t distinguish what mattered and what didn’t, then perhaps it really wasn’t the place he should stay.

"What was that light?"

"Why did the Sustainer’s attitude change so drastically after touching it?"

Focalors didn’t care about any of that.

She wasn’t planning to rebel against the Heavenly Principles alongside Snezhnaya.

Although she’d hidden a Hydro Dragon right under their noses, she wasn’t causing any trouble now.

Even if the Heavenly Principles wanted to settle accounts later, there was no reason to involve Fontaine.

The Sustainer had seemed perfectly normal at first.

But what exactly had she learned that caused her attitude to change so dramatically?

Focalors was extremely curious.

"Want to know?"

The corners of Su Ran’s lips curled upward.

Focalors nodded repeatedly.

Of course she wanted to know!

It was obvious that Su Ran was still keeping plenty of things from her.

Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Principles willingly hand him authority to rewrite the Heavenly Order?

It was obvious they simply didn’t want to oppose him!

"Actually, it’s nothing special."

"I just showed her the current state of the universe and a few things that are common knowledge."

"How big of a deal could that be?"

Everything he showed her was common knowledge, after all.

The reason the Sustainer gave up was simply because she’d seen the power of an Emanator.

"That’s it?"

Focalors wasn’t convinced.

Surely it couldn’t be that simple.

"Otherwise what?"

A pair of mischievous hands reached up and grabbed Focalors’s cheeks, gently squeezing them together.

Her lips immediately puckered into a pout.

At the same time, the scenes the Sustainer had witnessed rapidly appeared in Focalors’s mind.

"..."

It took her quite a while to digest everything.

Only then did she gradually understand the current structure of the universe.

Focalors blinked at the man before her.

It was genuinely difficult to imagine that his background was actually this terrifying.

Previously, she’d been unable to comprehend just how powerful the Genius was.

Now she couldn’t comprehend how the Genius could possibly be this powerful.

"You... are you really that amazing?"

Wasn’t this basically a colossal thigh to cling to?

And she’d actually been lucky enough to be adopted by him?

"What would I gain by lying to you?"

"If you don’t believe me, you can go to Snezhnaya and ask the Tsaritsa herself."

Su Ran squeezed her cheeks again.

This time, Focalors wasn’t nearly as resistant as before.

Back then, she’d even bitten him.

But now she was much more obedient.

She had probably been thoroughly shocked by his background.

"Consider yourself fortunate."

"You’re the Fufu adopted by Su Ran."

"Some people could spend their entire lives without ever getting the chance to meet me."

"And yet you’re sitting right on my lap."

If he’d said something like that before, Focalors would have thought he was being unbelievably narcissistic.

But now...

She actually found it rather reasonable.

This wasn’t just some ordinary genius whom anyone could meet.

"Then if you pat my head, will I become smarter?"

"Uh... that’s hard to say."

Looking at Focalors’s current state, Su Ran was suddenly worried that patting her head might actually make her stupider.

"Can someone explain who that person just now was?"

Navia sat awkwardly by herself.

Just now, both Focalors and Arlecchino had clearly known exactly what the Sustainer was.

But Navia had been the only one completely in the dark.

The gods of Celestia?

How much stronger could they be than Lady Furina?

"It’s better for children to know less."

"Knowing too much isn’t good for your mental health."

Focalors didn’t want Navia to know too much.

The Heavenly Principles were simply too distant from ordinary people.

For Navia to live her entire life as an ordinary person was already an extremely fortunate thing.

Arlecchino agreed with that sentiment.

As for little Arlecchino, she didn’t care about the so-called Heavenly Principles at all.

Compared to the powerhouses of the universe, the gods of Celestia were completely harmless.

And her father, Su Ran, stood among the strongest beings in the universe.

Unless an Aeon personally appeared, there was no one capable of completely defeating him.

"But I’m not a child anymore."

Navia was a little depressed.

She might not be as old as Focalors or Arlecchino, but she was still an adult.

Surely she didn’t need to be treated like a child anymore?

If they simply didn’t want her to know the truth, there was no need to use such an excuse.

"You’re bullying the kid again."

"Navia isn’t much younger than me anyway. What’s the harm in telling her?"

"Would the Heavenly Principles really come attacking just because she found out?"

Su Ran lifted the Focalors sitting on his lap high into the air.

"You look even younger than Navia."

"..."

Are we really ignoring age entirely now?

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"I look much more mature than Lady Furina!"

Navia immediately chimed in.

As the president of the Spina di Rosula, she was certainly a mature adult.

"Mr. Genius, could you tell me about it?"

Navia stepped forward and hugged one of Su Ran’s arms, looking at him pleadingly.

"Sure."

"Fufu, why don’t you tell Navia the story?"

"Why do I have to do it just because you agreed?"

Focalors looked at him with disdain.

But she didn’t refuse.

After all, with him here, she had nothing to worry about.
