Aeon of Creation Chapter 25

After reconnecting with the Astral Express... I made the wisest decision after turning my phone off and letting them deal with danger by taking a large spare storage room inside of the Space Station and turn it into a jungle of life.

And spatially expanding the room to be more than fifty times its original size without compromising the rest of the Space Station.

The jungle like room was five miles in all directions and twenty miles tall so there was plenty of room for atmospheric effects to form and as the Astral Express minus Himeko and Welt found me sipping tea in a gazebo.

I raised an eyebrow seeing Ruan Mei and Madam Herta were taking the lead as they came over to my gazebo and the two genius's took the couch in front of mine while Stelle, March Seventh, and Dan Heng sat off to the side.

There was a moment of silence as the two genius's stared at me with various expressions and emotions crossing their faces before Ruan Mei broke the silence with her asking bluntly. "Why did you allow Duke Inferno to mess around on the Space Station?"

I hummed before I answered quietly. "Cause and effect... I'd rather not have direct confrontation with Destruction's major pawns for a while yet. Plus, it was good for you all to deal with him together."

Herta then interjected with cold amusement. "Do you see us as pawns as well Aeon of Creation?'

I looked up on Herta with a raised eyebrow and I could see her pride as one of the universes greatest Genius's warring with her desire to know more at the expense of speaking to me in a confrontational manner.

But I just smiled indulgently before I said easily. "No Herta, I do not see you as a pawn. You are not a tool to be used on the board of the War between the Aeons... Hmm, no it was just as I said. It was a good chance for you all to work together without me watching directly. And it got rid of that poor Propagation clone."

At the end of my speech I looked at Ruan Mei who merely sighed before saying calmly. "It was a valuable experiment in interfacing with the powers of an Aeon. I wonder if I could even create an Emanator without samples of another one now."

My lips twitched at the clear desire in her voice at the thought. Then I shrugged and said with a chuckle. "I would be careful of doing so... Making a clone of Trazzorath's brood wasn't a big deal due to the bug being half dead after being slammed by the Amber Lord's big bonk hammer."

I refocused on her and said with a clear warning. "But... If you attempt to make an Emanator from an active Aeon. You will lucky to survive the attempt."

I paused, then I added. "Unless Nous directly protects you when the Aeon you steal power from comes to render the planet you are on into ashes."

I took a drink of my tea before March 7th coughed, and hurriedly changed the topic. "Haha... Anyway! Jake, what made you decide to make this giant jungle anyway? It's got some bugs I saw but it doesn't have any birds or any cute animals as well?"

I smiled and with my eye's glowing with the power of creation, I created a rose that unfurled on my hand even as I wondered what Elysia was up to with Welt and Himeko.

Regardless, I still answered March 7th's diversionary topic change. "This Space Station is dead in space... I didn't like that, so I made some life to fit on the Space Station, and so long as the human population doesn't multiply by ten on the station. This jungle will supply all the oxygen the station needs."

Then Ruan Mei spoke in some amusement. "I do believe that Asta will be rather confused on why you didn't just make all the tree's into fruit and otherwise food-bearing tree's. Let alone other food sources."

But it was Stelle who spoke with her somewhat deadpan tone. "He doesn't want to do everything... At that point he might as well just make another Emanator to carry you through the stars."

I paused at the thought. But instead of making an Emanator I thought about just making Herta's space station into the Star Wars Death Star for the lolz as I knew Welt would lose his shit at seeing it.

"Jake... Don't do it. Don't make Himeko scream and spill her coffee." Dan Heng deadpanned with a sigh with Herta and Ruan Mei pausing as they realized I had my 'thinking cap' on.

"Wait what was he going to do?" Herta asked excitedly.

And with dull eye's March 7th said flatly. "Flip our understanding of world on it's head... Probably turn the Space Station into a fully livable cheese wheel or cake that can cross the cosmos or something."

I actually blinked at that mental image... And then I said with appreciation. "Hey March, thank you for that idea. I now know how I am going to kill an Emanator of Destruction. I am going to shoot her with a cheese wheel going Mach five."

Dan Heng face-palmed and muttered audibly. "How does the space station turning into a cosmic cheese wheel have anything to do with murdering a Lord of Destruction with a cheese wheel of doom?"

"Damn Dan Heng... Now I gotta trademark that." I muttered as I conjured up a notepad to literally write that down so I wouldn't forget!

When it came to deal with Phantalyia, or even Sunday on Penacony. Let's see how the universe reacts to hearing those entities were wrecked by light speed cheese wheels. 

I may be the Aeon of Creation... But sometimes I felt I had a bit too much Sheogorath in me, honestly. Though that might have just been the hours of Skyrim I played with Silver Wolf.
