Chapter 438: The Two Furinas Start Fighting

Chapter 438: Chapter 438: The Two Furinas Start Fighting

The reason Su Ran had brought the two of them to the space station was to extract the power that originally belonged to the Elemental Dragon from Focalors.

As for Furina, he had merely brought her along so she could witness the method of saving Fontaine and finally put her mind at ease.

The technology here seemed far more advanced than Fontaine’s Research Institute.

There were screens everywhere that she couldn’t understand, and they were even floating in midair.

It was incredible...

That power was bound to the divine throne, which meant that even if the Heavenly Principles never intervened, whoever inherited the throne would automatically receive that power.

Before long, a ball of strange blue elemental energy appeared in Su Ran’s hand.

That was the Hydro Dragon’s Authority of the Ancient Dragon.

"...You really extracted it?"

At first, Focalors had been prepared to sacrifice herself in order to change everything.

Yet Su Ran had extracted the Authority of the Ancient Dragon just like that?

Wasn’t this a little too incredible?

She began looking at the so-called Genius in a completely different light.

"What’s that?"

Furina was extremely curious.

That power had been extracted from Focalors.

Could this be the legendary divine power?

"Neuvillette’s Authority of the Ancient Dragon."

This power had originally belonged to Neuvillette.

"Neuvillette? Authority of the Ancient Dragon?"

Furina’s face was filled with astonishment.

So Neuvillette was the Hydro Dragon King?

No wonder she’d always found it strange that Neuvillette could live for so long!

It turned out he wasn’t human either!

I knew from the beginning that he wasn’t human!

"So as long as we return this power to Neuvillette, Fontaine will be saved?"

That’s wonderful!

So things were actually this simple?

The Authority of the Ancient Dragon was with Focalors, and Neuvillette was the Hydro Dragon King!

Could it really be this easy?

"No."

Su Ran’s single word poured cold water over her excitement.

The relieved expression on Furina’s face instantly changed.

"The Authority of the Ancient Dragon is in my hands now."

"I can solve all these problems myself."

Su Ran was rather interested in this power.

Not because he wanted to use it himself, but because he wanted to give it to his people.

Of course, he’d return it to Neuvillette eventually.

But that didn’t mean he couldn’t make a few copies first.

There was no copyright on this thing.

He’d return the original to its rightful owner afterward.

Neuvillette should be grateful.

"Little brother, I should warn you first."

"The one capable of saving Fontaine from the prophecy is the Hydro Dragon King possessing his complete power—not merely this Authority of the Ancient Dragon."

Focalors thought Su Ran simply didn’t understand the situation.

So she had to remind him.

If this power alone could save Fontaine, she wouldn’t have left it unused for five hundred years.

The one capable of saving Fontaine had always been Neuvillette after regaining his complete power.

Only the Complete Dragon was truly the master of Hydro!

Not someone merely possessing this stolen fragment of authority.

"What a joke."

"Who do you think I am?"

"Even incomplete power is enough for me to deduce the complete Authority of the Ancient Dragon."

Focalors thought Su Ran was going to stubbornly persist in his mistake.

But moments later, the Authority of the Ancient Dragon in his hand suddenly became three copies.

"Let’s make a few spares."

"We might need them later..."

And so, under Furina’s curious gaze and Focalors’s utterly stunned expression, as many as one hundred copies of the Authority of the Ancient Dragon were produced.

It took less than half an hour.

Focalors fell silent.

This...

This was the power belonging exclusively to an Elemental Dragon!

How had there suddenly become a hundred copies of it?

Would the Hydro Dragon cry if he found out?

"Oh no! I made a mistake!"

Su Ran suddenly looked regretful.

"What happened?"

Furina immediately became worried.

This was the crucial moment!

The salvation of Fontaine was practically in Su Ran’s hands now!

"I should have completely deduced the power first and created a perfect version before making copies."

"I copied a hundred incomplete versions instead."

"Now I have to complete every single one of them afterward."

"That’s going to waste quite a bit of time."

As a Pathstrider of Erudition, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

It was completely contrary to his pursuit of efficiency!

"That damned Dottore!"

"He must have infected me with his stupidity and incompetence!"

Focalors: ...

Why had the Winterland been the first place to encounter this Genius?

If someone like this had been born in Fontaine, how wonderful would that have been?

As for whether Su Ran could actually complete the deduction, she wasn’t worried at all.

She had personally witnessed him creating a hundred copies of the Authority of the Ancient Dragon.

And so, Su Ran spent another half an hour deducing the complete version of the power.

In the end, he successfully created five complete Authorities.

Focalors: ...

She had no idea how many times she had been rendered speechless by this man anymore.

Genius...

He truly deserved that title.

Suddenly, she felt incredibly envious of the Winterland!

They could now trade with Liyue and Inazuma, as well as with aliens from beyond the stars.

"Come here, you two little Furinas."

"It’s time to give you both an upgrade."

Two Furinas possessing the complete Authority of the Ancient Dragon.

That sounded pretty good!

One Furina was someone he cared about, so of course he had to take good care of her.

The other Furina was his pet, so she needed even better care.

Giving them a power boost would at least allow them to protect themselves.

Otherwise, what if his little Furina got scared by the blond traveler later?

"But this is Neuvillette’s power."

"Won’t he be unhappy if he finds out?"

The complete Authority of the Ancient Dragon meant absolute control over Hydro.

It was the power of an Elemental Dragon.

"What are you talking about?"

"I didn’t steal this power from him."

"He’s only missing part of his power, not the complete Authority."

"At most, we’re plagiarizing."

"And we aren’t even using it commercially."

"What reason would he have to complain?"

"Forget it."

"You’re powerful, so whatever you say must be right."

Focalors gave up arguing.

Who could blame her?

The Genius was simply too powerful.

Even if Neuvillette had objections, what could he do?

He’d only just been beaten badly enough to end up in the hospital.

Fortunately, because the power was being fused outside Teyvat, Neuvillette couldn’t sense any of it.

At that very moment, he was lying in a hospital bed in Teyvat, reviewing the details of recent cases.

He was truly dedicated to his work.

Even injured, he hadn’t forgotten his duties.

Meanwhile, on the space station, Furina was having the time of her life after fusing with the power.

She even created several Hydro illusions.

"Now that the power is ready, it’s time to make you a body."

The space station had equipment capable of cultivating complete bodies.

And Su Ran had already conducted three experiments.

The fourth would naturally be much easier.

Moreover, Focalors was different from the previous three.

Her consciousness was completely intact, and her power was complete.

She didn’t even need an adaptation period.

Soon, the two Furinas watched as Su Ran began sculpting a body.

A graceful figure with an ample bust and curvaceous hips soon appeared.

"This one will do!"

Focalors’s eyes lit up.

"No! This one won’t!"

Furina immediately spotted the difference and naturally refused to let Focalors have her way.

Why had she been stuck with this body for five hundred years while her other self could get such an amazing body for free?

Absolutely not!

"Furina, don’t be so jealous."

"We’re both the same person!"

"We should look exactly alike!"

The two Furinas immediately began arguing.

Su Ran thought for a moment before sculpting another body.

A cute chibi Furina appeared.

This time, Furina’s face lit up.

"Let’s use this one!"

"Look how adorable it is!"

Focalors immediately recognized that it was the same style as the little Arlecchino.

She rejected it on the spot.

"I still prefer the previous one."

"Pets should have the self-awareness of pets!"

"Someone that big will definitely eat more."

"A smaller one will save Eight-Five money on food!"

The two Furinas started arguing again.

In the end, Su Ran chose Focalors’s original appearance.

It was the compromise.

The two Furinas looked at the result.

Both of them wore disappointed expressions.
