After eating a planet, Gali sat honestly on the sofa, watching TV.
But Gali seed to have understood the true essence of television:
Turn it on… and don't watch it at all.
Instead, she stared intently at the watch on her hand. A strange purple light flickered in her eyes, while the TV served only as background noise.
And that background noise would not affect her— instead found it fun.
As for Blaine—
After leaving Gali at ho, he went out to buy sothing to eat.
Gali might be good at eating, but her definition of a al was fast food plus an entire planet inside a fast food restaurant.
It was hard on Blaine, who had witnessed the whole process. After handing the watch to Gali and finally letting out a sigh of relief, a sharp pang of hunger struck him.
He glanced at the ti—it was already 2:30 in the afternoon, two hours past lunchti.
"Sh*t."
Blaine curled his lips, told Gali not to run around, and went out on his own.
The street he was on was mostly residential. There were convenience stores nearby, but fast food joints were rare—you had to walk two blocks to find one.
Fortunately, he was fast and had good endurance. After buying the food, he ran straight ho.
After all, there was a super powerful girl hiding at ho who could eat Earth in one bite. It was hard for Blaine to feel at ease.
Luckily, Gali was still very obedient.
When Blaine ca back, she was still curled up on the sofa, studying the planet-making machine.
He let out a sigh of relief, sat at the dining table, took a sip of Coke, bit into a burger, and picked up a few French fries.
Just as Blaine was halfway through his al—
Gali suddenly jumped up.
"Hey…!"
"I'm not called 'Hey', I'm called Blaine," he said flatly.
"I know, I know, Blaine!"
Gali rolled her eyes indifferently, jumped over to him, stretched out her pale left hand, and pointed at the watch on it. Her big purple eyes sparkled with curiosity.
"Blaine! Can you tell
how this is made?"
"You can't see through it?"
A smile flickered in Blaine's eyes.
"No…"
Gali tapped her red lips with her finger and shook her head. "I can't figure it out."
"Isn't little Gali supposed to be omniscient and omnipotent?"
Blaine reached out the hand that wasn't holding fries and rubbed Gali's head hard, ssing up her hair. Looking at his 'masterpiece,' he teased her playfully.
The system really is impressive.
Even Gali—who was comparable to a cosmic god—couldn't figure out how the Planet-Maker worked.
Blaine was quite pleased. After all, this ant that the system's upper limit was far beyond Gali's level—maybe even much higher.
And since he was now tied to the system, the higher the system's ceiling, the higher his own limit.
How could he not be happy?
Gali suddenly looked a little annoyed. She stepped back out of Blaine's reach, hands on her hips, her almond-shaped eyes glaring.
"I am omniscient! There's nothing in this world I don't know!"
"Oh? Then how was that made?"
Blaine pointed at the watch on her hand.
"This… this was an accident!"
A flash of embarrassnt crossed her face, but Gali stubbornly insisted, "My dad said I'm omniscient and omnipotent!"
Alright then!
Bringing your dad here!
I can't win against that!
Blaine's mouth twitched. He spread his hands and said honestly, "Actually, I don't know how it's made either."
If he did, would he still be so heartbroken?
It cost 500 million—just thinking about it made his heart ache.
"Hmph! You must be lying to !"
Gali pouted, her voice cold and arrogant.
She could probably tell that Blaine wasn't lying, but her pride wouldn't let her admit it.
"How would I dare lie to you?"
Blaine cleared the table and threw the trash in the bin.
Fast food lived up to its na. Coke, burgers, fries, and roast chicken—he finished everything within ten minutes of getting ho.
"Humph!!!"
Gali let out a dramatic snort like a sulking child and buried herself deep in the sofa.
As an all-knowing and omnipotent girl, this was the first ti she'd encountered sothing so incomprehensible. Of course she'd want to analyze it thoroughly.
It's the sa for anyone—
If you think you know everything, and one day sothing suddenly appears that you don't understand, wouldn't you be curious? But if even your supposed omniscience can't solve its mystery, it'd leave you a little frustrated… even filled with self-doubt.
That mix of curiosity and frustration brewing inside—it didn't feel good.
Blaine shook his head. There wasn't much he could do. He'd just finished eating, so with greasy hands, he went into the bathroom to wash up, brush his teeth, and wipe his face.
But when he ca out, Gali was still lying sideways on the sofa.
Not too stubborn, right?
Blaine rubbed his chin, a little worried.
If Gali really got depressed, would Galactus show up from the next universe to eat him? After all, that silly girl was his precious daughter.
The thought made him nervous. He quite liked Gali too. He didn't want her to shut down over sothing like this.
Clearing his throat, Blaine walked to the sofa, ready to comfort her.
However—
The supposedly "autistic" Gali didn't look down at all. She was lying sideways on the sofa, eyes locked on the animated show playing on the TV, holding a ping-pong ball-sized planet in her left hand and nibbling at it from ti to ti.
She seed to be… enjoying herself quite a bit.
…Seriously?
A black line appeared on Blaine's forehead.
Had he just overthought the whole thing? Was she just waiting for her 15-minute cooldown to finish so she could eat again?
Co on—at least act like a proper all-stat girl. Don't be so shaless.
Gali also noticed Blaine standing next to her with a blank expression.
She sat up awkwardly, swallowed the last crumb of the mini planet, and looked at him with wide, innocent eyes. There was a hint of guilt, but also expectation. She tilted her head, and in a syrupy tone said:
"Blaine ~~~ can you make a planet in one second? If not, then… it's okay too, Blaine~~~"
Blaine:
…Little ancestor, don't tempt . If I really could feed you properly, the entire world would flip upside down!
