Thinking of this, the image suddenly appeared in Hermes's mind.
He immediately shivered.
His good looks would all be gone!
Forget it, forget it, he had to cut off that possibility.
Although Herta was a bit vain, it must be said that her looks were quite striking.
Therefore, evolving into The Herta would suffice.
The Super Big Black Box didn't look as good as The Herta... Regardless of whether evolving into the Super Big Black Box would allow him to elbow the galaxy in one leap, it didn't look beautiful at all.
If the evolution option for the Super Big Black Box was Intelligence +1, Appearance -50, then The Herta would be Intelligence +1, Appearance +1.
Thank me, Herta.
I saved your appearance!
"Haha, I never thought that saving the universe would fall upon us."
Ruan Mei wore a half-smile.
She knew exactly what kind of person she was better than anyone.
Yet, such a ridiculous thing was happening now...
"Ms. Ruan Mei, this is not about saving the universe. It is simply because if the worst were to happen to Amphoreus, it would affect us as well," Screwllum replied calmly.
Screwllum's personality made him a rare moderate within the Genius Society, even known as a gentleman.
But it was not necessarily true that he was a pushover.
At the very least, he had no intention of becoming the Deliverer.
Speaking of this, Hermes, Ruan Mei, and Screwllum glanced subtly at Herta.
Ruan Mei and Screwllum knew very well that Hermes's enthusiasm was determined by his origins.
His foundation was initially that of a Trailblazer, a Hero from Beyond the Heavens.
This nature had already penetrated his soul.
Not to mention, he later switched to the Path of Penacony.
The Path of Erudition? That was just an accident.
In comparison, Herta was truly precious.
She could be called a rare species within the Genius Society.
"Hahaha, Ms. Herta's greatness needs no further explanation."
Hermes praised Herta with a smile.
"Hmph! Did you even need to say that?" Herta accepted Hermes's praise without reservation, replying as if it were obvious.
"The problem now is ensuring Cyrene doesn't run into trouble. Once she chooses true Apotheosis, the end of the universe will be irreversible..."
"Lygus is also trouble. He has occupied that Scepter for too long and possesses Administrator privileges. If we don't take him down, he could very likely ruin things."
"Perhaps Hermes's Digital Technology Tree is the key to breaking the deadlock."
"Ruan Mei, it looks like we'll have to rely on you. Let's try to specifically deduce a targeted Ultra Ultimate Form based on the forms of Omegamon and Alphamon..."
"Targeted hacking into the Scepter system might also be a method."
"Do you think the spacetime experiment you and Herta conducted, Hermes, could be used here?"
"The possibility is low. That place is shrouded by Triple Paths, so spacetime interference would likely have a minimal effect."
"Indeed, Amphoreus is almost forming a causal loop. Spacetime interference probably won't work."
Facing these thorny issues, the four geniuses present began working together on deductions.
Watching the geniuses fall into a state of busy work, Himeko and the other Astral Express Crew members sighed after a moment of silence, deciding to temporarily yield the Astral Express.
Stepping out of the train, this time all members of the Astral Express Crew, except Dan Heng who remained aboard, stepped onto the ground of the Xianzhou Luofu.
"Little March, put this Bracelet on."
Himeko looked at March 7th with a serious expression and an undeniable resolve in her eyes: "Remember, you absolutely must not take it off your wrist at any time!"
"Do you understand?"
"But, Sister Himeko, isn't this your favorite Bracelet?" March 7th hesitated. She knew very well how much Sister Himeko treasured this Bracelet: "I remember, it seems like Senior Hermes gave it to you..."
"Take it, Little March." Forcing the Bracelet onto the young girl's wrist, Himeko gently explained: "I truly love this Bracelet, but Little March, you are the family your Sister Himeko loves most!"
"Your safety is more important than any external object."
"Mhm!" March 7th, moved, put the Bracelet on her wrist. The pressure she felt finally dissipated quite a bit.
At the same time, she developed an unprecedented wariness regarding her memories from before she lost them.
"Ms. Himeko, and everyone from the Astral Express, welcome to the Xianzhou Luofu."
Just as Himeko and the others were preoccupied, an imposing man with a high white ponytail and eyes like colored glaze walked quickly toward them, displaying a warm smile.
"Are you... General of Divine Prowess, His Excellency Jing Yuan?" Himeko was moved, and approached him in surprise.
How strange. Why would Jing Yuan, the General of the Luofu, personally come to welcome the Astral Express group?
Their status didn't seem high enough for that, did it?
Behind Jing Yuan was Yukong, the Sky-Faring Commission Helm Master, whom they had just met briefly.
"Ms. Himeko, did Ms. Herta just enter the Astral Express?" Jing Yuan showed a hint of respect when mentioning Herta, and then asked: "To thank Ms. Herta for her kindness to the Xianzhou Luofu this time, I specifically selected some treasures from the Xianzhou Treasury as a gift."
"May I ask, Ms. Himeko, if you could introduce me?"
Before today, although Jing Yuan knew Herta was a member of the Genius Society and an Envoy of Erudition, he never knew that Ms. Herta could be this terrifying when she took action!
This was a giant who could be considered a peak powerhouse even among the Envoys!
Every such existence possessed terrifying power capable of influencing the entire cosmic structure!
"I apologize, General Jing Yuan. Ms. Herta is currently discussing some research with fellow Genius Society members—Hermes, Ruan Mei, and Screwllum—so she probably won't have time right now..." Himeko said apologetically. Even though she had some connection with Hermes and Herta, that was no reason for her to interrupt them.
"What!"
"Besides Ms. Herta and His Excellency Hermes, Ms. Ruan Mei and His Excellency Screwllum have also arrived!"
Hearing this, Jing Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.
In other words, his small Xianzhou Luofu had suddenly gathered four... no, including the Lord of Silence who was being suppressed, that made five geniuses?
*Hiss!*
How could my humble Xianzhou Luofu be so blessed?
The fall of the Xianzhou Luofu won't happen today, will it?
