Chapter 169: Acheron One-Shots the Duke
Kenji was kicked out. Ruan Mei had some research to do and temporarily had no time for any more... laboratory play... with him.
"Hahaha! My friend, you’ve really created a great piece of fun," Aha appeared, in his familiar suit-and-mask attire.
Kenji knew what Aha was talking about. An Emanator of Propagation’s aura was not something an Aeon could ignore. However, besides an idle god like Aha, the other Aeons couldn’t be bothered. The Astral Express didn’t support idle gods, so He had to find his own fun, or become the fun himself.
"Qlipoth and the others haven’t made a move?" Kenji asked with interest.
"Haha, that blockhead of Preservation won’t make a move so easily, not unless a second Swarm Disaster really breaks out," Aha said with a laugh. As long as the birth of a new Aeon didn’t affect Preservation or destroy the entire universe, Qlipoth would just keep mixing his cement.
"My friend, do you want to become an Aeon and have some fun? You know you can." Aha’s titanium-alloy Aeon eyes could see that if Kenji wanted to become an Aeon-level existence, it would only take a single thought.
"An Aeon?" Kenji rubbed his chin. Could it even take one punch from the old Dragon King?
"Aeonhood is not what I desire."
"I’d rather make my own Aeon to play with," Kenji said.
"You’re talking about that little Propagation creature, right? Interesting. But that humorless kid will make a move, you know~" How could Aha not know about the matter of Propagation’s divine body? But he hadn’t interfered. If there was fun to be had, he would watch it unfold.
"Whatever. You can just go and hold back the ’top donor’, can’t you?" Kenji said. Teasing the top donor would be a bit of fun for Aha.
"Here, this is for you."
Kenji took out a book: "The Beloved Romance of the Aeons of Hunt and Abundance." The cover art was an intimate scene between the two Aeons.
"Hehehe, this historical fabrication is so much fun! I wonder which great historiographer’s masterpiece this is."
"That Mystery guy has such talent and didn’t even tell me. Aha really has no face."
"I ship it. Aha likes this."
Aha cackled, flipping through the book and commenting from time to time.
"Leave this matter to me."
Aha whistled, and, riding a seven-colored cloud, he left the place. Anyone who witnessed this scene had a question mark floating above their head.
Kenji shook his head. As expected of Aha. The Xianzhou, facing the unpredictable Swarm Empress, should be fine. It wasn’t like they could use Propagation’s divine body anyway.
After saying a word to Ruan Mei, Kenji left the space station. The Power of Ohma surged around his body as he began to stroll along the river of time.
An unknown whisper sounded in Kenji’s ear.
Kenji turned his head. Another bro traveling back in time? A cicada? No, it’s Terminus. An afterimage left by the Aeon of Finality.
Kenji rubbed his chin. Terminus was one of the most mysterious Aeons, the god in charge of The End, who traveled backward from the future, appearing at the final moment of every world to bring records of the past. An Aeon’s manifested form could be illusory, so even if it looked like a cicada, it wasn’t necessarily Terminus’s true form.
The Spring Autumn Cicada. According to the fictional historians: the Great Love Immortal Venerable captured the Aeon of Finality, Terminus, and returned to the past.
Kenji ignored it, having no intention of seeking out Terminus’s true self.
The Palace of Penation.
The goat-headed Duke Inferno sat collapsed before his throne, looking as if he had been crashed by an elbow strike. My children, I am about to be destroyed.
Before him stood a purple-haired woman whose stance alone told you she was terrifyingly strong.
"Hey, hey, hey! Hello there!"
Kenji suddenly appeared. He had sensed the aura of Nihility while traveling through time and had come out to take a look. Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Duke is about to become an artifact set.
A famous actress from miHoYo, a Pathstrider of Nihility with the combat power of an Emanator. The Duke is really unlucky.
"And you are?" Acheron turned to look at the stranger.
Acheron: "..." She felt that line was a bit familiar.
"Don’t ignore me!" Duke Inferno roared.
Acheron nodded, and with a single slash, finished him off, satisfying his desire for destruction.
"How many skill points did you use?" Kenji asked curiously.
Acheron shook her head, indicating she didn’t understand what he was saying. As a martyr of Destruction, she had given Duke Inferno the end he craved.
"Hello, Mei. Let me introduce myself. My name is Kenji."
Kenji extended his hand. Acheron stared at him, stunned. I’ve been doxxed?
"Raiden Mei... have you met me before?" Acheron asked, taking Kenji’s hand.
"Do you know a Kiana?" Kenji asked curiously.
"A familiar name. I know what you mean. There are countless similar yet different worlds in the universe, and in these worlds, there are countless similar yet different people. I have also met old friends with similar appearances. I am not the person you know," Acheron said calmly.
"If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll take you to meet that sandal-wearing idiot."
"This fire is for you. You’ll have a use for it."
"The stars will remember the past."
Kenji took out a ball of starfire and pushed it in front of Acheron.
"Thank you. It’s very warm," Acheron said, touching it. The starfire entered her body. Nihility is being burned? What kind of fire is this?
Kenji re-entered the river of time, flowing downstream.
"See you in the future..."
Acheron, carrying her music box, left the Palace of Penation and continued towards Penacony. But... which way was Penacony?
Acheron was a little lost. She should have asked Kenji for directions.
"Where did you go? Why are you stained with the aura of Nihility?" Ruan Mei frowned.
"I didn’t notice," Kenji said, patting his body. The aura of Nihility vanished. "I met someone who has walked very far on the Path of Nihility. Her strength is among the top one or two of all Emanators."
Ruan Mei’s interest was piqued. "An Emanator of Nihility?"
"Although ’IX’ of Nihility doesn’t glance at anyone, the energy of the Path of Nihility can be taken freely. How much you can take depends on your own capacity." An Emanator of Nihility was an Emanator that shouldn’t exist. To be able to reach that level was enough to prove that a person had walked far enough on the Path of Nihility, and at the same time, was more deeply affected by its power, closer to being assimilated by it. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt
"I haven’t heard of such a person in the universe."
"Ruan Mei, this is probably due to the influence of Nihility. The memories of a Pathstrider of Nihility are gradually stripped away," the big Herta said, walking in. Ever since she found out Ruan Mei had created an Emanator of Propagation, she had to check up on her from time to time. She didn’t know what other shenanigans her good friend would get up to. This time, hearing about an Emanator that shouldn’t exist, she was also quite interested.
"A Pathstrider of Nihility who has reached the Emanator level can be said to be a great walking void among the stars. Anyone who comes into contact with her, unless under special circumstances, will have their memories of her blur after being separated for a period of time."
"Tsk. An Emanator of Nihility... probably no one would want to provoke such an existence." Herta admitted that an Emanator of Nihility was a tricky opponent. The power of Nihility, once you were stained by it, was not so easily cleansed.
"I just received news. That Emanator of Propagation of yours caused a huge ruckus on the Yuque Xianzhou. General Rongtao was severely wounded and almost died. The divine body of Propagation was stolen," Herta said.
Kenji and Ruan Mei just smiled. The Swarm Empress was very clever and hadn’t gotten bogged down in a fight; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy. Next, she would go into hiding to absorb the divine body and prepare for her ascension. Even if she couldn’t become an Aeon, she could reach the level of a half-step Aeon.
