Ghost-type Evil God?

"The essence of imaginary and quantum? A Philosopher's Stone condensed by extracting a trace of the Breath of Truth?"

Hearing this, Ruan Mei's eyes, once as placid as an emerald sea, brimmed with interest as she asked, "Then, with the Philosopher's Stone's capabilities, could it exchange for things at the Envoy tier?"

"Too small! Your vision is too small!"

The corners of Hermes's lips curled into a mysterious smile. He then took out a fist-sized Philosopher's Stone. "If it could only exchange for things at the Envoy tier, why would Lord of Wisdom certify it as [capable of equivalent exchange for all things in the world]?"

The moment the Philosopher's Stone was brought out, Herta and the others simultaneously began calculating at high speed.

1 minute.

10 minutes.

An hour later, Stephan Lloyd was the first to emerge from his state of extreme calculation. Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, he indicated that he had done his best.

After 1 hour and 20 minutes, Herta stopped.

After 1 hour and 45 minutes, Ruan Mei stopped.

Finally, Screwllum, the mechanical lifeform most skilled in calculation, also stopped after 1 hour and 50 minutes, just short of crashing.

"Can something like this really be artificially created?"

After recovering her senses, Herta stared at the Philosopher's Stone before her in disbelief. "If there were enough of them, perhaps one could even glimpse the mysteries of the Aeons?"

"You made this thing by hand?"

"A Philosopher's Stone is naturally not something that can be made so casually."

Hermes shook his head. "Even for me, creating one at this fist-sized scale requires a great deal of effort."

"If you wanted to glimpse the mysteries of the Aeons, the number of Philosopher's Stones required would be astronomical!"

In the end, Hermes split the Philosopher's Stone into four pieces and gave them to Herta and the others as gifts, bringing the gathering to an end.

After the gathering ended, news of the Philosopher's Stone, a cosmic treasure, began to spread.

Stephan Lloyd truly deserved his reputation as a genius. The things he treated as little toys were, to the outside world, unsolved mysteries that existing technology could scarcely replicate.

And Hermes's Philosopher's Stone nearly overturned the Universe's understanding of Energy Studies!

Genius Society.

A figure wearing a plaster bust over his head stared blankly at the information before him, his eyes devoid of light.

"Is this the gap between mediocrity and genius—a bottomless chasm like Ix's black hole?"

Looking at the information on the two newly emerged geniuses, Doctor of Truth felt deeply suffocated and powerless.

He had always chased after them with all his might, yet after coming this far...

The casual creations of those two geniuses were already a despairing distance beyond his reach!

IPC.

Putting everything else aside, upon reading the introduction to the Philosopher's Stone, they nearly craved it to the extreme. It was a dazzling rarity of the Universe, its value beyond measure!

The Universe was thrown into violent turmoil by the appearance of these two geniuses!

After finishing the geniuses' gathering, Hermes entered the Chat Group while organizing and integrating the two new Envoy Authorities he had acquired.

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "What a pity. The environment on my side isn't suited to the Gourmet Cells system—it simply won't allow it!"

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "Otherwise, while Gourmet Cells are a little dangerous, in terms of potential alone, they would still rank among the very best, right?"

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "Come to think of it, if I fused with Gourmet Cells, could I eat an Evil Spirit in one bite? Could Evil Spirits count as ingredients?"

Pioneering Wisdom: "From an esophagus's perspective, all things can be eaten. Evil Spirits are naturally no exception."

Pioneering Wisdom: "But that would require your compatible ingredient to happen to be Evil Spirit-oriented. Looking across the entire Toriko anime, not even a supporting character of that type of Bounty Hunter ever appeared."

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "Makes sense"

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "The odds are too low. If I really fused with Gourmet Cells, the greatest chance would be that I'd starve to death."

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "Oh? You came online so quickly. I thought your exchange with Herta and those other geniuses would last quite a while."

When Luo Qianqiu saw Hermes come online, her eyes lit up.

After much consideration, she still felt that the hope of breaking her predicament had to rest on her Fellow Villager.

After all, the name [Hermes] spoke for itself. In almost any world, it was a figure of mythic epic proportions.

Not to mention, did they even understand the weight of the Genius Society?

Pioneering Wisdom: "It was only our first meeting. We were just getting familiar with one another and exchanging our research directions."

Pioneering Wisdom: "When the need arises in the future, we'll naturally have more in-depth exchanges."

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "Honkai: Star Rail, where madmen run rampant, is naturally a hellish world for ordinary people. But for you—a former Nameless and current Envoy of Erudition—it must be an incomparably romantic and wonderful world, right?"

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "I want to ride the Stellaron Train and pioneer the boundless sea of stars too. I'm so envious."

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "I still don't dare fuse with the Gourmet Cells Floze gave me back then. I'm terrified I'll starve to death!"

There was no question about the Chat Group's capabilities. Abilities obtained through it would undergo localized optimization and adaptation.

There was no issue of them being incompatible with the local environment.

But the key was that just because she could fuse with them successfully did not mean she could satisfy the Gourmet Cells' endless appetite!

After briefly learning about the [Multi-Fandom] worldview that the Group Leader had transmigrated into, even Hermes felt considerable sympathy.

Who knew how many worldviews this so-called [Multi-Fandom] had stitched together.

At the very least, [The Girl Who Can See] was definitely among them.

Even more outrageous was that the sun and moon in the sky seemed to be projections or symbols of some Evil God!

Hermes was quite interested in this world. Things like Evil Spirits and Evil Gods were blind spots in his research.

In the world of Honkai: Star Rail, the closest things were beings like [Suiyan].

But those things were fundamentally energy lifeforms. While they still held considerable research value, they were definitely not the same as Evil Spirits or Evil Gods.

If he could study them, he would surely gain a great deal.

Sinnoh Champion: "Group Leader, how about I choose a Ghost-type Pokémon with excellent aptitude for you as your starter Pokémon? Or perhaps a Dark-type or Fairy-type that counters Ghost-types?"

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "Ghost-type Pokémon? Uh, if I remember correctly, Ghost-type Pokémon can grow stronger by devouring souls, right?"

Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "Forget it. If I really got a Ghost-type Pokémon, I'm afraid that after it kept eating and eating, this world would end up with another indescribable Evil God..."

Recalling the traits of Ghost-type Pokémon, Luo Qianqiu tugged at her cheek. If the scene in her mind became reality...

She would want to die.
