Ignoring the Chat Group that had erupted due to his single sentence, Hermes calmly began making arrangements and contacting certain individuals.
The next moment, the figures of Herta and Ruan Mei appeared directly before him.
"Hermes, have you finally decided to ascend to godhood?"
As soon as Herta appeared, a fervent voice reached Hermes' ear: "Pure Beauty! Pure Beauty! This is Pure Beauty!"
Herta wasn't necessarily greedy for the power of the Aeons.
As someone who had conceived Hertas Cosmic Truth and initially stepped into the domain of the Great Powers of the Heavens, she didn't really care much for Aeons, which were more akin to [Status], [Saint Rank], or [Authority].
Once her Cosmic Truth was truly complete, she would stand on the exact same level as the Aeons in terms of hierarchy.
Although, she still hadn't figured out the Aeons' form of existence... but.
Pure Beauty was different; this was a Path she had always dreamed of!
"Thank you, Lord Hermes. Being able to observe an Aeon's Path of Ascension will be greatly helpful in perfecting my subsequent plans."
Ruan Mei had no special filter for Pure Beauty, but she rarely showed a trace of excitement for the upcoming scene of Ascension to Godhood.
After Hermes' guidance, although she no longer obsessed over the study of Aeons, she focused more on her own field of life sciences.
However... this did not mean she ignored the existence of the Aeons.
More accurately, the Aeons were still an extremely important step in her plans.
"Herta, you can invite Screwllum and Stephen Lloyd to gather at Penacony."
Hermes ignored Herta's fervent gaze and suggested with a slight smile: "Coincidentally, I also need to meet with Dr. Calderon Chadwick this time."
"Consider it a long-overdue team-building activity for the Genius Society."
By now, he had become indifferent to many things regarding the Honkai: Star Rail Universe.
The Stellaron Hunters' script, the secrets of Akivili and the Final King, Stelle's main protagonist storyline, Amphoreus's endless reincarnation, the inevitable end of the Great Universe, Nous's Fated Moment... "After I ascend to godhood, the matter of Amphoreus should also finally have a perfect ending."
"And, Cyrene..."
"I will pull you out of the causal loop, allowing you and your favorite companions to move toward a future of carefree, eternal joy..."
Hermes murmured in his heart. His feelings for this girl were not, as Honnjo Niya had guessed, for forming a romantic couple.
These were merely readers from other worlds forcibly pairing them up.
Even the Infinite Möbius from his other timeline and Cyrene were never so-called lovers—
It was simply a memory etched into the bones, an unforgettable experience.
If he and Cyrene had truly been lovers on his other timeline, he wouldn't have been so calm, waiting for the Astral Express Crew to enter Amphoreus; he would have long since anxiously sliced Lygus into a thousand pieces and scattered his ashes!
After all, Infinite Möbius and himself could never truly be viewed as two separate individuals; fundamentally, they were the same person!
Let alone Hermes being unable to do it.
Having joined the Chat Group and possessing his level of power, there were very few things he couldn't accomplish within the Honkai: Star Rail Universe.
Although the situation in Amphoreus was complicated, achieving a "happy end" might be difficult.
However, as long as Hermes was willing to temporarily set aside the Star Crown Court for a period and liberate the consciousness that had been heavily suppressed... could one Amphoreus possibly be harder than opening up a Great Universe?
It was just that doing so would severely disrupt Hermes' plan and result in many losses.
Trying to achieve a perfect ending in Amphoreus by merely splitting off a wisp of an avatar—even Hermes wouldn't be that confident... "I understand."
Herta stopped recording the data on the constantly surging phenomenon of Pure Beauty's Cosmic Truth emanating from Hermes, nodded slightly, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity that Screwllum was indeed dragged down by the Inorganic Lifeforms. How far behind has he fallen, busy with all the mess in the The Universe?"
"Ruan Mei has a good chance, but Screwllum is probably in doubt..."
Thinking of this, even Herta couldn't help but feel sorry for Screwllum.
This period could be called the most crucial time for the Star Crown Court, with drastic changes happening every moment.
The shifting of rules, the manifestation of origin, the perfection of Cosmic Truths, and the cyclical interweaving of primal ancestral qi and various Cosmic Truths... This was almost equivalent to the beginning of Primal Creator opening up the Great Desolation Universe, where taking an extra breath of air was something countless beings in other worlds would dream of.
Being in this environment long-term, their aptitude was even subtly changing.
If an ordinary person simply seized one such opportunity, it would be enough for them to ascend to the heavens in a single step!
And for geniuses like them, every minute and second during this time was precious, because most opportunities in this soon-to-be-formed Great Universe could not escape their sight.
Moreover, the process of the Ten Great Cosmic Truths growing from nothing to strength was an incredibly precious great fortune for geniuses.
Even with the talents of the geniuses in the Genius Society, this might be a great fortune that only happens once in their lifetime!
"Screwllum is indeed a great pity."
Ruan Mei strongly agreed with Herta. The reason she progressed so quickly and her plans were rapidly perfected, besides the unreserved help from her good friend Herta and the occasional guidance from Hermes, was also significantly due to the grand environment of the Star Crown Court, where opportunities were everywhere.
"Holding this long-overdue tea party for our Genius Society is also a great pleasure."
Hermes wore a mysterious smile, seemingly having thought of something: "Coincidentally, I just learned something and gained a lot of inspiration from the Halloween Queen over in the Hakoniwa Infinite Multiverse."
"The Sea of Dreams is also a sea. This unique sea region must possess many rare and specific fish species. We should take this chance to try the fun of fishing..."
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, Herta couldn't help but get angry: "Hermes, why didn't you tell me when you discovered a new multiverse?"
"Are we still partners? Are we still close friends? How dare you hog all the benefits?!"
Their Sea of Trees itself was a multiverse. How could Herta not know how precious a new Infinite Multiverse was to a Great Power of the Heavens?
Hermes was speechless. What kind of Haxita are you?
You're literally eating from the bowl while looking at the pot. Haven't running so many research experiments simultaneously exhausted your energy?
You're really just pushing your luck because you can't die, aren't you?
"Then I'll bring you along next time?"
"It's a deal then."
"Done!"
