Aeon of Creation Chapter 22

Regardless of the overwhelming power, and the ability to do most of anything I could desire. One of the biggest bonus's in being a 'god' in all metrics was how you could troll people and there was literally not a damned thing they could do about it.

Like in this case... 'The Herta' and Ruan Mei had to sit awkwardly at another table as Dan Heng, Elysia, and I got drinks at a nice coffee shop and while we were sitting there. Enjoying our drinks.

I was speaking with Elysia and Dan Heng about Earth, or at least my version of it.

And I knew my words were triggering the fuck out of Herta and Ruan Mei as the reality of alternate Earth's and such was obviously... Just so fascinating to them.

But I was being a troll, and had silenced them. They had lost the ability to ASK me in particular questions of any sort. 

Which was a delightful irony and payback for how Ruan Mei, in the canon timeline. Basically, poisoned the Trailblazer to be unable to speak of Ruan Mei and her actions on the Space Station.

"So, when do you plan to stop bullying these little cuties. You don't hate them for some reason, do you?" Elysia asked with both teasing, and pity clear in her tone as she looked at Herta Prime, who looked ready to attempt to throttle me.

I gave a slight hum, before I glanced at the two. Then I shrugged and said with some coolness in my tone. "I do not care for so-called Genius's that only pride themselves on the knowledge they create or horde. Should I find Dr. Primitive for example, I would erase him, for he is no different from a Pathstrider of Destruction."

"Now, you are free to speak." I finished with Ruan Mei clearing her throat and asking quietly.

"What did you mean that Propagation is not the Path of Creation? Or did-"

I cut her off as I said calmly. "Ruan Mei, I understand your goal of becoming an Aeon... Very much so, I understand. But you need to understand several things."

I took a breath and then continued. "Your studies do in fact walk the paths of Erudition, Propagation, and even my own in Creation... But these paths already have active if not sealed, Aeons. You aren't able to steal those Paths as Pathstrider of Erudition."

My gleaming gaze of an Aeon made Ruan Mei's own green eyes glow as I finished calmly. "You have to walk your own path to become an Aeon... Not tread old ground, and using the power of another Aeon to begin with."

I shook my head as Ruan Mei... Yeah, she was hot as hell, honestly top five in all of HSR's waifus that I knew of. Especially with her calm, relaxed personality, when she became more caring of her creations.

But her path to becoming an Aeon? Dim as hell, as she was trying to walk three paths at the same time, at least. Not forging her own path.

"Is it my turn to speak?" Herta asked with some sarcasm making me chuckle as I took a drink, and I relaxed with my eyes losing their Aeon influence as I looked at Herta and nodded to go ahead.

Herta seemingly pondered something for a moment. Before she took a breath and asked calmly. "Regardless of the countless questions I have for you as an Aeon... I have to ask, as the Aeon of Creation, how do you bypass the simple rule of Matter Preservation?" 

'That's actually a fair question.' I mused to myself before I looked at Herta and I said in turn. "How about this, if I answer your question... You have to create a seed, a tree, or some method of stable and renewable food creation that can deal with extremely hostile worlds. So that even the most downtrodden can eat."

There was a pause before Herta chewed on her lower lip in thought. Her genius mind obviously considering my demand and the possibility of such a thing.

"That... Seems more like a chore, you would ask of Sanctus Medicus. Or the more so-called benevolent followers of the Abundance. But I like a challenge, very well. I will give it my own best efforts!" Herta said proudly.

I smiled and then I held up my hand with my finger glowing with my finger having countless runes of eldritch knowledge scrawling across it in an eye-burning script. "Then absorb the knowledge you so wish to have."

Leaning over, I pushed my hand over. And Herta's face filled with a flush for but a moment as my finger pushed through the keyhole in her outfit between her breasts, then my finger sank through her flesh and into her very soul.

As the knowledge of Creation, and the reality of what lay beyond the three dimensions that normal people lived within. Did not have the matter creation that she wanted... No, one needed to take the void of the fourth dimension to add mass to the typical reality that was our three dimensions to do so.

"Coudn't you just bless her with a glance like with Cocolia... Why poke her like that Jake?" Elysia asked with a hiccup of a chuckle.

And without a damned lick of shame, I said firmly. "That keyhole was just asking for me to stick my finger in it." Though more privately, I was thinking. 'Stretching that keyhole with something else would be better though.'

There was a pause as both Ruan Mei and Herta just stared at me while Herta, being an Emanantor of Erudition, was able to safely mentally store the knowledge I gave her.

Then Ruan Mei spoke in complete confusion. "Wait... You still have human desires to breed? Wouldn't that be lost in an ascension in becoming an Aeon?" 

Dan Heng face-palmed as I said firmly. "Of course not! Sure, I am not Propagtion, but the continuation of life is a core part of Creation. I am not Long who made an entire infertile race though... Anyway, yes, I still very much have my six human desires."

Ruan Mei hummed before even I choked as she asked with utter seriousness. "Then what would happen should an Aeon actually propagate and breed with another mundane being? Would their breeding partner as a Pathstrider of a different path affect said child?"

With Herta giving a thoughtful hum and adding on. "That's an interesting proposal, Ruan Mei. Would such a union create something akin to an Aeon who could control the domains of their parents? Or would-"

I cut in with a dull expression as I saw March 7th, and Stelle coming over... As I didn't want those two hearing about this. As even Elysia, with how shameless she could be, was blushing.

"Stop this, please... I am a pure young man waiting for a good wife before I get married and then settle down with at least three children."

Stelle, who had just gotten over here and was seeing me and Dan Heng's awkward expressions, asked bluntly. "Yo! What killed the mood, did Herta and uhhh Ruan Mei right? Yeah did they ask for something weird like double A battery with infinite power?" 

And with a blush crossing Elysia's face. She said without a damned stutter. "Oh? The geniuses are just making the boys uncomfortable as they discuss what features the child of an Aeon would have... Should Jake specifically have intercourse with a normal or pathstrider human?"

"All my hate..." I muttered as I facepalmed seeing March 7th look ready to faint at Elysia's nonsense.
