The younger troupe of Nameless stood beside Bronya who were all silently spellbound at the sight of the massive divine tree that swallowed up the city of Belobog.
"He... He really is the Aeon of Creation isn't he?" Bronya said with her throat thick of tension as she recalled all too quickly the many examples within history of the Aeon's casually shattering and ruining worlds.
Stelle took a deep breath and then said. "Yeah, he says it was a failed ascension, but he can create literally anything he desires. And molding life into existence is of no strain to him."
There was a pause before Dan Heng said with a wry smile. "A giant divine tree... The Xianzhou will certainly have some interesting thoughts should see this. Thankfully I can't feel the taint of Abundance like with the Ambrosial Arbor."
March 7th coughed and then she said with amusement. "I wonder if J̸a̶k̵e̶ can just... Make his own Xianzhou world ship should he desire it."
Everyone paused as they looked at March 7th who themselves looked like she tasted a lemon and she coughed. "Ahem I meant to say J̸a̶k̵e̶'s name... J̸a̶k̵e̶, J̵͙̥̀a̵̹̐̄k̷͔͒e̶͑̋ͅ, uwww its making my head hurt!" March 7th whined by the third time she said the name of the Aeon of Creation.
Dan Heng smiled wryly and said somewhat awkwardly. "Names have power March 7th. That's why most people just refer to the Aeon as 'THEM' or something. Speaking the name of the Aeon can get their attention... And it's a warning as no one wants a Lux Arrow from the Hunt for example out of nowhere."
Stelle's face twitched as she remembered being gazed upon by Nanook, and Qilpoth themselves with her gaining the lance that was imbued with the power of Preservation... Almost like the Preservation Aeon was trying to one-up the bit of power she had gotten from Nanook's lazy gaze back on Herta's Space Station.
"Well, we should make our way into the Underground right guys?" March 7th spoke after she finished taking pictures of the massive divine tree hanging over the city.
But then as though in a taunt several large fat drops of water began hitting the ground and Bronya spoke in wonder. "The tree, it's melting all the snow and making it rain!"
Then a loud boom rang out as violent lightning struck the tree from above.
"Let's go," Stelle spoke firmly as she gently pushed Bronya's shoulder to keep going... It was kinda clear that the new temporary Supreme Guardian was a bit overwhelmed with the extreme day they have had.
-
"The Stellaron is acting out." I muttered in amusement as the Tree of Creation happily absorbed all the lightning smashing into it as the Stellaron used more of its energy to conjure up shitty storms to try to buffet down the tree.
I had made the tree to be damn near impervious to all conceptual harm that wasn't done especially to its bulbs carrying its ore and resources nodes so people could easily retrieve them. Only a powerful Pathstrider or Emanator whose power included the will of another Aeon could truly break the passive protection I left with the tree.
"The thunder is annoying though." Elysia griped cutely as she pouted with her covering her adorable elf ears.
I snapped my finger and below my throne formed a floating island of earth covered in thick soft grass that I dropped my throne upon and then I got up from my throne and walked out onto the island as I looked up past the Tree of Creations endless branches into the sky that was filled with the supernatural power of the Stellaron.
And I decided that letting the Stellaron waste its energy trying to fuck with the divine tree was for the best. So I just formed a barrier around the floating island to silence the loud storm giving us sweet silence.
"So Jake, one a scale of seven to ten how would you scale those two cuties? Stelle and March 7th?" Elysia asked teasingly.
I gave the grinning-haired troublemaker a flat look before I just snapped my fingers to create a wave of butterflies that began flying around my large flying island that was circling around the walls of Belobog city.
"Well... Stelle is obviously a bit of a troll, and definitely has a bit too much of an interest in hitting things with her baseball bat. So probably an eight." I said with amusement.
Then I shrugged and added on. "March is a bit too much of an airhead for me, but she definitely is cute... So once again probably an eight even if she is more my type than Stelle."
Elysia snorted as she took my seat on my throne and then while she allowed one of the butterflies to land on her hand. She spoke again with much more clear teasing in her voice. "Oh yeah... You have something for my elf ears don't you?"
And with zero shame I replied honestly. "Yup, elf ears are my thing. In any case, I have seen you hanging out with Himiko and Welt... How is that going?"
Even as we were speaking, however, the divine tree was hard at work both absorbing the energy from the storm the Stellaron was smashing into it. And also dealing with any Fragmentum monsters.
And most importantly due to my Will of Creation residing within the Tree, its branches and vines were able to shatter and disperse the Fragmentum Corruption.
Elysia took a long minute to reply before she spoke with a wry smile. "They may be from my Earth... But I don't know them. Me and Welt do share some interesting stories on the Honkai but we try to avoid it honestly."
A loud thrum rang out and I watched as several dozen Fragmentum corruption zones cracked and exploded sending out Fragmentum monsters that were swiftly destroyed by the Tree of Creation.
