“Ms.
Herta?
She’s the owner of this Space Station, right?” Eve asked, puzzled.
“Yes, don’t you know her?” Asta asked, confused.
“I thought a genius like you would have known Ms.
Herta for a long time.” Asta couldn’t be blamed for this; it was mainly Eve’s current expression that reminded her of the Genius Society.
That was an organization composed of geniuses from across the universe favored by Nous.
Eve shook her head.
“No, I don’t know her.
I heard a little about her from Himeko before coming here.” “But I’m a bit curious about this Herta,” Eve’s tone held a hint of interest.
“Oh, oh, I see,” Asta nodded.
“Ms.
Herta is a member of the Genius Society, a favored one by the Aeon of The Erudition.
Since the birth of the Aeon of The Erudition, there have only been 84 such individuals.” The moment her words fell, as if the entire universe had been startled, a mysterious and powerful gaze suddenly projected, like an arrow piercing through endless void, directly locking onto Eve.
In an instant, all the surrounding clamorous sounds seemed to be suddenly choked by an invisible hand, vanishing without a trace.
In their place was a chilling silence.
However, this silence did not last long, soon broken by the cold whirring of machinery.
The sound was faint at first, but as time passed, it grew louder and clearer, as if thousands of colossal machines had simultaneously begun to operate.
Every turn of a gear, every extension of a mechanical arm, emitted an unnerving “clack-clack” sound, echoing through this vast and eerie space.
Eve frowned slightly; she wasn’t sure what was happening.
But in the darkness of the universe, she seemed to see something: a giant mechanical head, emitting a dangerous red glow.
“Observing.
Individual name: Eve Yggdrasil.” “God of Wisdom, Lord of Wisdom, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, God of Grass, Ruler of life, Herrscher of Life…” “life form from outside the universe.
life form: Unknown.” “Risk assessment: Extremely dangerous.” “Conforms to ‘the answers of the universe transcend the limits of mortal wisdom.’ Granted.
Nous bestows the power of The Erudition.
Granted the position of Emanator, to be the impetus for the Path’s continuation, extension, and broadening.” The moment the words fell, an extremely powerful force, like surging tides, swiftly gathered towards Eve’s body.
This force seemed to come from the endless universe, carrying the knowledge of The Erudition.
In the blink of an eye, the dark space that had filled the entire universe vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
At the same time, the cacophony of various machines that had been echoing in her ears abruptly ceased, and the surroundings became utterly silent.
Immediately after, the scene returned to the familiar Space Station.
The lights here were soft and bright, and the walls and equipment were as new as ever.
Asta was still diligently saying, “So, Ms.
Herta is super willful.
She only does what she likes, and once she loses interest, she immediately leaves.
This Space Station is a product of that…” “Wait,” Eve called out to Asta.
“What’s wrong, Miss Eve?” Asta asked, puzzled.
“The Aeon of The Erudition you mentioned, is her name Nous?” Eve asked in surprise.
“Yes,” Asta nodded.
“Then you just said, how many people have been favored by the Aeon of The Erudition?” “84?” “Alright, well, now there’s an 85th.” Eve slowly raised her fair, slender arm, as if every movement contained endless mystery and power.
As she raised her palm, a terrifying, heart-pounding force began to rapidly gather between her palms.
That force, like surging waves, constantly rolled and surged, seemingly ready to erupt at any moment, and the source of this force was the Aeon of The Erudition—Nous.
“This…” Asta, standing not far away, instantly widened her eyes at this sight.
Her gaze was filled with indescribable shock, her mouth slightly agape, yet unable to utter a sound.
Even Himeko, usually calm and composed, couldn’t help but show a look of utter shock on her face, filled with confusion.
“Miss Eve, you…?” Eve said calmly, “I seem to have just become an Emanator of The Erudition.”
