"How is that possible? Why?" Firefly asked Silver Wolf, still in disbelief.
"How should I know why?" Silver Wolf shrugged. "Anyway, Elio himself admitted his predictions were wrong. That guy Derick's appearance has completely ssed up Elio's script."
Hearing Silver Wolf's words, Firefly's face showed confusion.
If Elio's script was useless, what was the next step?
"So, this ti, Elio told us to act freely." Silver Wolf patted Firefly's shoulder. "Let's go. We'll look around here first, then go find Derick and the others."
"Huh? Isn't the mission urgent?" Firefly asked Silver Wolf, puzzled.
"Not at all!" Silver Wolf said nonchalantly. "Elio said that here on Penacony, nothing will happen before the Charmony Glee, so we're free to do what we want. Finding Derick can wait. For now, you can co with to look around and buy so new gas."
"Okay, then."
Since Silver Wolf had said so, Firefly had no choice but to nod.
The two of them then walked towards the exit of Origami University.
Walking side by side like this, Silver Wolf felt her own small stature more keenly.
Although Firefly had a frail constitution, among girls, only Stelle could match her height. She was much taller than Silver Wolf's petite, l0l!-like figure.
Herta Space Station.
Ruan i's small starship was docked at the station's entrance.
A small Herta puppet appeared in the docking area, looking up just in ti to see Ruan i disembarking from the ship with Derick's Second Clone.
"Ruan i, what are you doing here?" the small Herta asked.
"I've co here, first, to continue my experints on the Herta Space Station," Ruan i said softly. As she spoke, her gaze remained on Derick's Second Clone.
Ruan i had noticed that the Second Clone's physical strength and other attributes had improved significantly during this ti. Now, they could proceed with the creation and devouring of the Swarm: True Sting, the Emanator of Propagation.
"Looks like you'll be getting results soon," the small Herta remarked to Ruan i.
"Yes."
Ruan i nodded, a smile on her lips, but her eyes showed a lack of concern.
As a genius, she didn't feel much joy for experints with predetermined successful outcos. The result was already certain in her mind; any further happiness was just a waste of spirit.
The pitch-black lifeform she was experinting on had shown extrely significant improvents recently. It wasn't just from the organisms she fed it; there were other, different kinds of improvents that Ruan i found baffling but was eager to investigate.
This was due to the improvent of Derick's main body.
Although an increase in Derick's own power wouldn't directly transfer to his clones, the enhancent of his spiritual energy from his main body's growth allowed him to better control the energy within the clones. This, in turn, enabled the clones to absorb abilities more quickly and safely.
Now, Derick's Second Clone could also attempt to absorb and devour the Swarm: True Sting. As an expert in biology, Ruan i had quickly noticed this change in the Second Clone. That was why she had brought it back to the Herta Space Station, intending to have it devour the Swarm: True Sting.
Only after devouring the Swarm: True Sting did Ruan i plan to seek out Marshal Hua of the Xianzhou Alliance and find Luocha to study that Propagation Aeon.
Ruan i's desire and goal were very clear: to create an Aeon.
"Besides that, you said you had sothing else. What is it?" the small Herta asked.
"Yes, I'm quite curious as well." At that mont, another holographic image appeared.
A chanical body, dressed in a suit, wearing a top hat, and sporting a monocle—it was none other than Screwllum, a mber of the Genius Society.
"Have you heard anything about that Derick, who's been making waves in the Xianzhou Alliance recently?" Ruan i asked the two of them.
"Naturally, we've heard so news," Screwllum replied to Ruan i.
Ruan i continued, "Before he ca to the Xianzhou Alliance, he was from Amphoreus. The world of Amphoreus was constructed by an Imperial Scepter."
Imperial Scepter!?
Hearing Ruan i say this, both the small Herta and Screwllum beca intrigued.
"Moreover, that world is currently gestating a Lord Ravager," Ruan i added.
"Oh? That certainly warrants a proper research visit."
A voice spoke up. Ruan i and Screwllum followed the sound and saw a tall figure wearing a large, pointed hat and dressed in purple and pink. A pair of long, slender legs were tightly wrapped in black stockings.
Ruan i and Screwllum looked on without much expression.
This was Herta's true body, also known as The Herta.
Evidently, the news Ruan i brought was interesting enough to make The Herta appear.
A gestating Lord Ravager was a subject worthy of deep study for the mbers of the Genius Society.
"How did you learn of this?" The Herta asked Ruan i.
"It's like this..."
Ruan i briefly explained the origin of the information.
A few days ago.
Lofu Xianzhou.
Tingyun arrived at Ruan i's residence.
Swallowing nervously, Tingyun's expression was quite apprehensive.
"Lord Ravager, Imperial Scepter... for Derick to entrust with delivering such news, he really trusts !"
Tingyun muttered to herself as she walked.
Derick had asked her to deliver this ssage when she saw him off, and Tingyun felt imnse pressure. This news concerned the entire universe and was on the sa level as the last Lord Ravager, Phantylia's, invasion of the Lofu Xianzhou.
Tingyun felt that Derick trusted her a lot.
In truth, Derick had only rembered this just before departing for Penacony and wanted to inform Ruan i and the others about the situation on Amphoreus. After all, he was counting on mbers of the Genius Society like Ruan i to help him solve the Amphoreus problem and turn its people into real living beings, just like everyone else in the universe.
So he had asked Tingyun to deliver the ssage.
During this period, Ruan i had stayed on the Lofu Xianzhou conducting experints and hadn't been involved in much else. Derick would occasionally control the Second Clone to show so reactions, but he didn't do much with it either.
"Next, it's ti to devour the Swarm: True Sting..." Ruan i had just muttered this halfway when she sensed Tingyun's arrival.
"Is there sothing you need?"
Ruan i asked Tingyun gently.
The incident was over. All the power of Destruction within Tingyun's body had been absorbed by Derick's Second Clone. Now, Tingyun was no different from an ordinary Foxian, so Ruan i wasn't surprised by her arrival.
Ruan i had no interest in listening to soone who had co just to offer thanks.
"Mr. Derick has sothing he wanted to tell you, Ms. Ruan i."
Tingyun knew Ruan i's personality, so she skipped the pleasantries and directly told her about the situation on Amphoreus.
Upon hearing Tingyun's words, Ruan i shot to her feet, had one of her creations grab Derick's Second Clone, and headed towards Cloudford.
Tingyun watched Ruan i vanish in an instant, her pretty foxy eyes widening in confusion.
She knew Ruan i was decisive and acted swiftly.
But this was a bit too swift.
"You could at least say where you're going!" Tingyun grumbled to herself.
Afterward, she helped take care of the loose ends Ruan i had left behind.
Others might not have been able to handle it, but as a mber of the Sky-Faring Commission, Tingyun was familiar with the departure procedures for guests of the Xianzhou, so she handled it skillfully.
But none of this concerned Ruan i, who was already aboard her starship with Derick's Second Clone, heading for the Herta Space Station.
Ruan i had an excellent mory and relayed her conversation with Tingyun to Herta and Screwllum verbatim, preventing any misjudgnt on their part.
After listening, Screwllum said to Ruan i, "It seems I must make a trip to Amphoreus."
Others might not care about the Imperial Scepter, but as the leader of the inorganic lifeforms, Screwllum had to confirm its harmlessness. Now that it was gestating a Lord Ravager, Screwllum would certainly have to stop it.
The Herta nodded in agreent.
"There's no ti to lose. Shall we depart now?" The Herta asked Ruan i and Screwllum.
Ruan i gently shook her head.
"I don't believe this is the most opportune mont. If possible, it would be best to go with Derick and the others."
"If Amphoreus is gestating a Lord Ravager, it's inevitable that other Lord Ravagers will be paying attention to it. If we go rashly, we could easily be taking a huge risk."
If two or three Lord Ravagers were to truly show up, The Herta, Ruan i, and the others would not be able to stop them.
By acting with Derick and his group, they would at least gain a few more Emanator-level combatants. Even if the entire Antimatter Legion arrived, they would be able to handle the situation with more confidence.
"I agree with this proposal as well," Screwllum concurred. "If Amphoreus is an Imperial Scepter, it will be very difficult for us to invade its interior. To enter Amphoreus, Derick and his party are the most suitable candidates."
The Herta was persuaded by their words and subsequently asked Ruan i, "Then Derick, where is he right now?"
Ruan i: "…"
Ruan i realized she seed to have forgotten to ask what Derick was doing.
Her attention had been entirely focused on the Lord Ravager, so she had overlooked such minor details.
Fortunately, Ruan i had frequent contact with the Xianzhou Alliance. She quickly contacted them and obtained Derick's current intel.
"Derick is currently on Penacony attending the Charmony Glee. We'll probably have to wait a few days."
Ruan i told The Herta and Screwllum.
"Mm, perfect. That gives a few days to prepare as well," The Herta nodded in understanding.
Ruan i walked towards the depths of the Herta Space Station.
She didn't need to prepare, so she would just continue her research on the Swarm: True Sting in the anti.
