"I really didn't expect Ms. Herta to be so powerful when she fights."
Welt sighed in admiration: "March, Stelle, you two might not feel it deeply, but in reality, those imaginary number torrents sweeping through countless star systems are merely residual aftershocks from the two of them clashing."
"Their true power is actually entirely concentrated on their opponent, with not a single bit leaking out."
"Hahahaha, March, if you reach Ms. Herta's level, doing that wouldn't feel out of place at all."
Himeko said with a smile, not finding anything inappropriate about Herta's actions.
Across the entire Cosmic Galaxy, there were so many Destiny Walker fanatics; Herta's little quirk was truly as normal as could be.
Or rather, Herta's personal reputation throughout the Cosmic Galaxy was actually quite good, with countless admirers.
All the researchers at Herta Space Station, in fact, were only admitted after defeating countless other admirers.
"Indeed, March, perhaps after spending a long time with Ms. Herta, Mr. Hermes, and others, you feel that the entire Genius Society is like this."
"But that is actually an illusion."
"Ms. Herta is indeed a truly respectable existence!"
The stoic young dragon, Dan Heng, also spoke a few rare extra words.
As Dan Heng, who once wandered the Cosmic Galaxy, his feelings on this were even deeper.
Frankly speaking, although he was born in the Xianzhou Alliance, his impression of it was quite ordinary.
Not to the point of disgust, but his favorability was also very low—and this was still influenced by his previous life.
However, during his years wandering the Cosmic Galaxy, he had seen countless frenzied Destiny Walkers, whose depravity was even worse than that of the Xianzhou Alliance.
It was precisely because of this that he cared so much about the Astral Express Crew and regarded them as the most important companions in his life.
"Hmm, indeed, Herta truly deserves such praise."
At this moment, a familiar voice rang in the ears of the Astral Express Crew members.
"Hermes!"
"Senior Hermes!"
Seeing the appearance of this figure, a hint of joy appeared in Himeko's eyes.
March 7th and the others, even more so, let out a sigh of relief.
In this situation, having their senior expert appear immediately filled them with a sense of security.
"We meet again, my dear juniors."
Hermes came to Himeko's side with a smile, then introduced Ruan Mei, pulling her along: "This is Ruan Mei, Member #81 of the Genius Society. You all should know her, right?"
"We meet again, my dear."
Ruan Mei came to Stelle's side, her expression as gentle as ever, showing no trace of the recent ambush by the Lord of Silence.
"What exactly happened? Why are Herta and another Instrument of Intellect fighting so fiercely?"
Seeing Hermes sit down next to her, Himeko naturally poured him a cup of coffee, then asked with a frown.
There were four Genius Society members gathered here, enough to cause a sensation if word got out.
Among them, two Instruments of Intellect were fighting fiercely, seemingly fueled by anger.
"The reasons are complex, but the Lord of Silence actually came for me first."
Ruan Mei explained, she was actually also on Polka Kakami's assassination list.
It's just that her ranking wasn't as high as Herta's and Hermes'.
"Polka Kakami probably wanted to find Herta and me through you."
Hermes showed a hint of apology to Ruan Mei, saying: "Herta and I's spacetime experiment this time caused too much impact, and Polka Kakami finally couldn't sit still any longer."
"Could the legend be true?"
"Is the Lord of Silence, Member #4 of the Genius Society, really secretly hunting down members of the Genius Society?"
Upon hearing this, Himeko couldn't help but show surprise, nervously grasping Hermes' hand with worry.
"The Lord of Silence has officially admitted that she killed Members #7, #8, #9, and #27."
Ruan Mei said indifferently: "Even without your connection to Herta, the Lord of Silence would have come knocking sooner or later."
"Like Herta, I've also been affected by the Lord of Silence more than once; several experiments failed due to various coincidences."
As a true genius, Ruan Mei had never feared anything.
Or rather, if she were to worry about the Lord of Silence showing up and become timid, then she wouldn't be a genius.
"No need to worry. During Herta and Polka Kakami's confrontation, I have already completely locked onto her existence."
"She can't escape now!"
Hermes, under the admiring gazes of March 7th and the others, once again savored Himeko's special coffee after a long time.
"Himeko, your coffee brewing skills seem to have improved quite a bit."
The most direct evidence was that after being appraised by the Chat Group's mall, its assessed integral (points) price had increased by a few points.
"Herta doesn't seem to be able to completely capture Polka Kakami."
After observing the battle from the Astral Express for a moment and noticing that Herta was starting to get a little impatient, Hermes stood up again and said calmly: "Himeko, wait a moment; I'll be right back after you've brewed the coffee."
After Herta once again tried to seal the Lord of Silence with Hertas Three-Phase Great Magic to no avail, and the two were once again at a stalemate.
Hermes appeared silently before Polka Kakami. With a gentle touch of his fingertip, the rotation of the starlight and the trajectory of epochal changes were all outlined.
One Finger, Ask the Path!
A finger strike that directly targeted the root of the soul, inescapable and unavoidable!
Polka Kakami's face finally broke for the first time in the face of this terrifying finger strike.
She tried to jump away directly, but it had no effect.
She attempted to transform into a data stream, crossing the vast star river to appear on the other side of the Cosmic Galaxy, but... it was useless!
This finger strike, it aimed directly at the soul!
Even if Polka Kakami exhausted a thousand methods, it was still in vain.
Hermes unhurriedly firmly pinned down the Lord of Silence's soul before him, giving her no chance to escape.
Then he pulled out a scroll-like wondrous item and directly sealed her within it.
Click!
Just then, a blurred entity appeared, its face indistinct, wearing a Six-Ribbon Coronet with pearl strings hanging down, carved as if from countless fragments of crystal mirrors.
As the sound of a camera clicking rang out, a ray of light was solidified by immense power, and visible wisps of [Remembrance] were filled into it.
Then, a light cone slowly began to take shape amidst the many gazes focused on it.
The moment it truly formed, everyone who witnessed this scene spontaneously knew its name... [Probability Poem of Epoch's Dawn].
"Hmm?"
"As expected of Fuli, the Aeon of Remembrance, this light cone is simply perfect!"
Hermes took the divinely bestowed light cone, scanned it briefly, and nodded.
It was indeed a light cone of considerable commemorative value.
Within the light cone, one could see.
A figure, looking down upon three majestic Path torrents above their head, gazed upon the vast Cosmic Galaxy, with the torrents of epochs revolving at their fingertips.
