Aeon of Creation Chapter 21

The trip back to Herta's Space Station only took a couple days this time as apparently the silver cosmic rails the Astral Express traveled on could be cold/warm which affected it's speed in travel.

Which made sense in hindsight with how much the Astral Express would bounce around the worlds doing events and such.

But the moment we arrived at Herta's Space Station, we were hailed by a frantic... Ok slightly hysterical Asta who shouted through Himeko's phone. "Is he here!? Is the Aeon here with you guys!?"

Himiko just stared at her phone that she pulled away from her face and then she looked at me and then back down to the phone before she said calmly. "Yes he has joined the Astral Express and has made himself at home on the Express." 

There was a pause as Welt patted my shoulder and then we all shook as something made the entire damned Space Station shudder before Asta yelled out hysterically. "Madam Herta no! No black holes on the Space Station!"

And then a crackle rang out with Himiko's phone sparking as something happened on the other end to overwhelm Himiko's phone and brick it.

Himiko herself was quiet as she just stared at her ruined phone until I coughed and offered to fix it and with a thankful nod from the redhaired beauty I quickly fixed the phone with a snap of my fingers.

Then March 7th spoke nervously. "So uhhh should we be fleeing if Madam Herta is messing with a black hole!?"

To which Himiko just chuckled and said casually. "Oh it's fine. Even if Madame's Herta's genius falters and it breaks whatever containment the black hole is in. We have an Aeon and Welt here to deal with it."

I shared a look with Welt who pushed up his glasses while saying in a deadpan tone. "I will endeavour for us to not be disintegrated by gravitonic waves I suppose."

Shaking my head I stepped on the Space Station and went down the ramp into the Space Station proper until the large doors at the end opened showing two very familiar women.

'Oh... This is awkward.' I thought as Elysia and Dan Heng followed me as Stelle and March were still being weirdo's on the Astral Express. The two women that matched my groups approach were all too obviously the two female playable Genius Society members

The Herta, and Ruan Mei. Members of the Genius Society, super geniuses who all using their great genius made great discoveries... And did little of note for civilization in reality besides a few examples.

As my group of three approached the two there was a pause as Elysia and Dan Heng paused obviously expecting us to stop to talk to the true body of Herta and Ruan Mei likewise the genius's did the same.

But I notably didn't make eye contact with the genius's and just literally walked between the genius's who paused and I could feel their Path energy roiling in confusion and some frustration on Herta's part.

Just to further fuck with them, I spoke in my Aeon voice as I touched upon the Imaginary Tree of the universe with my speech carrying concepts of Creation and raw unfiltered existence in my voice. "D̴a̶n̶ ̶H̷e̵n̵g̵,̸ ̵c̵o̶m̷e̵ ̷o̵n̶.̵ ̴Y̶o̵u̶ ̷p̴r̴o̵m̸i̷s̶e̴d̸ ̵t̵o̸ ̸s̶h̷o̵w̵ ̵m̵e̸ ̸w̷h̸e̴r̵e̸ ̸t̴h̷a̵t̵ ̵c̵o̷f̶f̶e̴e̶ ̶s̸h̸o̶p̴ ̶i̶s̸.̴"

Dan Heng audibly sighed and side stepped the frozen genius's who slowly turned on their high hells towards me while Elysia just giggled and literally skipped towards me and spoke teasingly.

"Jake you shoudn't avoid such cute girls who want some of your time. How else will love sprout in your lonely life haha." 

I rolled my eye's and I said blandly without the eldritch tone in my voice. "If I get so lonely I will just create a dog and make it an Emanator to drive Pom Pom up the wall. Hmm I wonder what kind of breed I should make though?" I mused.

As making a derpy as fuck husky that could break planets would be fucking hilarous. But there was a deep irony in making a giant sized chihuahua that could slaughter armies, destroy cities, and fight in the void of space.

"Jake please don't pull an Aha and make a Worm have all your power." Dan Heng spoke in tired resignation making me cackle before pausing as a blue mirror of folded spatial energy formed in front of me with Ruan Mei and Herta stepping in front of me and my group.

There was a moment of silence as I stared at Herta and Ruan Mei's tit's in particular as I had no interest in giving them my 'Gaze' and Ruan Mei spoke in her typical calm draw of a voice but it was tinged with clear confusion. 

"There is no doubt that you are an Aeon. But why do you ignore us so? Aren't you an Aeon like Akivii who revels with humanity and other sentients?" 

Finally I looked up and both ladies staggered as my golden eye's of Creation pinned them in place and I spoke in my eldritch tone to fill their minds with the very concept of my dissapointment towards them.

I shook my head and finished by saying calmly.

I finished with more weight towards Ruan Mei who stiffened as my words conjured up memories of the fucking Propagation Emanator she had in stasis in the basement that I could sense with my greater senses now.

I kept walking with both Dan Heng and Elysia following me with Elysia teasing me more with how I so clearly shut down Ruan Mei and Herta. Granted I knew that Ruan Mei lightening up a bit after interacting with the Astral Express.

But for now? She disregarded the animals and almost sentient lifeforms she made that loved and adored her here in the space station.

But honestly... Humbling The Herta and Ruan Mei and having a hidden camera record there reactions was well worth any trouble that may come.
