Chapter 1076

~7 min read 1,322 words

【Fantastic Four】 world.

In the company office, Susan was buried in her work, diligently and conscientiously handling her tasks.

The tailored suit jacket was a classic office item, and the crisp suit paired with a simple shirt outlined the curves that had originally been buried under the jacket.

This gave the doll that one was afraid would melt if held in the palm of one's hand a bit more of a capable and tough temperament.

"Phew... finally finished."

Susan let out a long breath, relaxed her whole body against the back of the chair, and habitually took out her phone, found the number she had dialed countless times, and dialed it.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

The sound of waiting for an answer rang out on the phone, her beautiful eyes froze, and her originally relaxed body instantly went rigid.

"It actually went through?"

"He... he finally came back?"

Susan's eyes sparkled, her face filled with unbelievable excitement and joy, but it didn't last long before her expression froze.

The call was hung up.

Why? Was it inconvenient for him to answer the phone right now? Or did he hang up by accident? Should I call again?

An indescribable sense of loss surged into her heart, and just as she was hesitating whether to call again, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Susan didn't even look, her eyes fixed firmly on the phone, and she shouted for them to get out without even lifting her head.

"I've thought about many scenarios, but I never expected that the first thing you'd say to me after meeting would be to tell me to get out."

Before the words had faded, the familiar voice made the excited Susan instantly lift her head to look over, and at the same time, she stood up with a *whoosh*.

"Su Quan!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it was full of emotion.

Su Quan walked in and closed the door, smiling as he wanted to hand over the rose in his hand, but the other person opened her arms and pounced on him.

Never mind handing over the flower, his mouth was completely blocked.

The first sign of true love: in a boy, it's timidity; in a girl, it's boldness.

At this moment, Susan was bold; her eyes hid a galaxy, waiting for the wind, and also waiting for you!

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the office was the sunset, the regret, and the golden afterglow shining on the two of them.

The sunset is especially gentle, and the world is full of romance.

"I wanted to give you a surprise, I didn't expect you to call at such a coincidence." Su Quan held her and handed over the flower.

"This isn't a coincidence..." Susan took the rose and said secretly in her heart: "Every day after finishing work, I would call you, time and time again, day after day."

I am missing in your world, and you are brilliant in mine!

"The last time we met was one year, four months, and three days ago; during this period, there wasn't a single phone call, and I tried every possible way but couldn't contact you."

"Can you tell me what happened?"

Every world has its own timeline and time flow, and one can also choose the time point when traveling.

For Susan, they had been separated for over a year, but for Su Quan, he hadn't seen Susan for decades.

Reunion after a long separation is just like the first meeting.

Susan's beauty still made his heart flutter just as much.

Looking at Susan, who was gazing at him with affection, Su Quan said softly: "The story is very long..."

"I'm willing to listen slowly."

Su Quan nodded gently and confessed everything to her: his identity, his abilities, his forces, and his purpose for coming to this world, etc.

For a long, long time, Su Quan's voice fell, and Susan, snuggled in his arms, was dumbfounded; it took her a long time to murmur and ask: "You... are you a god?"

Between the Void at the end of the timeline, traveling to different worlds, various magical abilities, and boundless power...

For Susan, an ordinary person in an ordinary world who didn't yet have extraordinary powers, "god" was the most appropriate description she could think of!

Su Quan thought for a moment and said: "Although there are some differences, you can understand it that way."

A god, in modern dictionaries, is defined as a general term for deities.

It refers to the creator and ruler of all things in heaven and earth in religion, and to immortals or the spirits of people with high abilities or virtues after death in the eyes of superstitious people.

As the ruler of the Void, Su Quan possesses the ability to modify reality and transcend life and death, so he is qualified to be called a god.

Even Asgardians can be called Norse gods; why can't he, the Lord of the Void who can easily kill Asgardians in seconds, be called a god?

"You know I'm a scientist, right? I... I'm an atheist." Susan murmured.

Su Quan laughed dumbly: "Whether I'm a god or not isn't important; even if I am a god, didn't I still come to find you, and didn't I still hold you in my arms?"

Susan smiled sweetly and suddenly asked: "You can travel to different worlds and have endless life, then... there must be many people held in your arms, right?"

Su Quan asked with a smile: "Do you mind?"

"Actually, I was mentally prepared a long time ago; you almost never talked about things at home, and you only came to see me once in a long while, and every time you left, it was as if you had evaporated from the world, and I couldn't contact you at all."

"I thought you might be married or have another girlfriend, but I didn't expect the result to be more shocking than I guessed."

"I can accept this result; after all, you are a god, you are the sun, it's impossible for you to be my light alone!"

Susan's words made Su Quan's face burn a little; he wasn't the type of person to take only one scoop from a vast ocean.

Life should be enjoyed to the fullest; three thousand beauties all returning to my hands, and taking all the water from the vast ocean is his personality.

This is reality.

He has seen people in suits and ties cursing their parents, and he has also seen people covered in tattoos taking meticulous care of hospitalized elders;

He has seen gentle girls cheating on others, and he has also seen girls who smoke and drink openly sticking to their love;

Gentleness can be faked, but character and the kindness in one's bones cannot be faked.

This world is dirty and crazy, and the more perfect a person looks, the deeper they might be hiding.

People are half-human and half-ghost; if you look too closely, no one can bear to be seen.

So Su Quan doesn't hide, doesn't pretend, and doesn't wrong himself; if he wants something, he wants it, and it's not like he doesn't have the strength, so why make a choice?

Besides, one should adapt to local conditions.

Think about Norse mythology and Greek mythology; he can't be an outlier.

Besides, others are worshipped even when they play so wildly and are so treacherous; he hasn't treated anyone unfairly, and on the contrary, he has given all kinds of benefits, so his confidence is even greater.

Susan really didn't feel there was anything wrong with Su Quan; what identity does what things. If Su Quan were just an ordinary person like Reed, everyone would be the same—do you think Susan would go berserk?

But Su Quan is not an ordinary person; he is a god, so it must be a double standard.

After all, double standards are human nature.
