Upon hearing this, the girls began to understand the situation and realized why Barbara didn't want to talk about Little Flora to them during the call.
They almost all thought the same thing upon coming to this understanding: 'So, she wanted to play a trick on us, right?'
"Little Flora, can you do this without affecting the city?" Mabel wanted to confirm.
It would be chaotic if the city suddenly collapsed.
"Yes, I will extend my roots far away from the city and draw energy from a more distant location." Little Flora, with her childlike appearance, smiled smugly: "By doing this, I am confident I will not affect this city."
Even though she is just the product of a seed, she is an existence that transcends common living beings. Even now, she could feel everything around her with her sensory perceptions, primarily sensing the surrounding nature.
"Then, you can do it." Julia said.
Grinning broadly, Little Flora said: "Then, I'll start~"
From Little Flora's fingers, the roots that were once as thin as her fingers thickened to the size of her fist, soon penetrating the ground, passing through quickly as she continued to extend the roots into the ground, going deep into the ground, before curving and heading out of the city.
Mabel and the girls saw roots constantly emerging from Little Flora's fingers. And, they could feel a tremendous energy coming from each root, even without doing anything special so far.
Soon, bubbles of energy seemed to be drawn by each root, similar to a water pump, sucking in at great speed.
Little Flora's aura became denser.
"..."
The girls were exposed to an aura that transcended even the aura that Amon emitted in the Grandmaster Rank.
At the very least, it was an aura that only those in the Star Rank or above could possess.
"My God, how much energy is she absorbing to emit such a powerful aura?" Ariel murmured.
The other girls just shook their heads, not knowing the answer.

"This is..."
"I understand." Elasa replied firmly: "I will do my best!"
"Mm, I trust you." Said the king.
After leaving the castle, Elasa looked in the direction of the building where Mabel and the rest were staying on the first floor and flew there.
When she got close, she saw that some guards had already surrounded the place.
"Everyone, do not enter or try anything without my command!" She said upon arriving.
When they saw who it was, the guards with triple-tipped spears stepped back: "Yes!"
Elasa took a deep breath, adjusted her posture, and entered the building.
When she entered, the various staff members were trembling with fear.
She simply walked straight to the apartment where the visitors causing such chaos in the city were staying and knocked on the door.
When the door opened, Elasa, who had opened her mouth to speak, closed it tightly when the sight of a little girl with long green hair and roots coming out of her fingers entered her field of vision.
Soon, she spoke in an ancient language some unrecognizable words both to Mabel, who answered the door, and to the rest of the girls in the room.
When they saw Elasa simply kneel and begin to bow with her hands extended, they were so confused that they seemed to have become fools in such a situation.
"What happened to her?" Maisa asked quietly to no one in particular.
"I would also like to know..." Julia murmured.
"She became like that when she saw Little Flora, so..." Ariel didn't finish, but everyone understood.
Whatever it was, it was linked to the existence of Little Flora.
Perhaps this Eloreana woman knew the origin of Little Flora, and that was enough to trigger the current situation they found themselves in.
