[Current Stellaron Rank: Emanator Second Tier]
Yan Huan stood on the table, his heart filled with excitement.
The Lie Flat System is truly great.
Aha:
"..."
"It seems you've truly recovered, haven't you?"
Below, the Aeon of Joy, holding a knife and fork, chuckled inwardly.
Yan Huan: "?"
A few minutes later.
It was still the same stage.
The audience seats were once again filled with crew members from various compartments, and Herta, at the very top, was still slumped on the table.
Unlike before, the guest seats on the left were now occupied by Asta and Arlan.
The judges' seats on the right were still occupied by the Express Crew.
Center stage.
Aha, holding a microphone, excitedly addressed the audience:
"Hello everyone, the annual Emanator of Joy selection program is about to begin! Please welcome our seeded contestant, Ms. Yan Huan!"
"OHHHHHHHHH—!!!"
Amidst the thunderous cheers from the audience, a spotlight shone on the side of the stage.
Yan Huan was sprawled on the ground, picking his toes.
Yan Huan: "..."
Aha: "As expected of our seeded contestant, he doesn't forget to pick his toes even during his inauguration ceremony. Let's give him a round of applause!"
"Clap clap clap clap clap clap—!!"
Another round of enthusiastic applause erupted.
At the judges' table, March 7th, unlike the excited crew members, nervously tugged on Welt's sleeve.
She said in a deep voice:
"Uncle Yang, what's he going to do this time? It looks like he can't escape."
Welt's expression was also very solemn, and he sighed:
"March, that's an Aeon. We've never had the ability to defy their will, and Yan Huan thought the same way."
He revealed a profound gaze:
"His previous denial of his mental state was Yan Huan's way of a gentler refusal, but the Aeon of Joy insisted. Now, there's truly no other way."
March 7th bit her lip, anxiously saying:
"Then he's doomed! When the Aeon of Joy gets bored, Yan Huan, as the Emanator of Joy, might even be detonated by him. The Aeon of Joy is also a lunatic."
Welt clasped his hands on the table and sighed:
"We can only pray. Even Herta's main body's multiple audiences with Aeons are widely spread as honors, and even being glanced at by an Aeon is considered good fortune. And now, the Aeon himself is constantly lingering before us."
"Yan Huan's current behavior shows that he has given up resisting."
At this moment.
Yan Huan was sitting on the ground, picking his toes with utter boredom.
It seemed no different from before.
Himeko patted March 7th's shoulder, comforting her, "Alright, don't worry too much. Believe in Yan Huan, he'll definitely be fine."
March 7th pursed her lips, a nameless discomfort filling her heart.
In the face of an Aeon, were they truly that weak?
"I can't do anything," March 7th clenched her sleeve and murmured softly.
A sense of powerlessness deeply enveloped her.
Meanwhile.
Yan Huan suddenly leaped up and performed a backflip.
"Bang—!!" He landed steadily in the center of the stage.
He shouted:
"Hahaha, I can do anything!!"
Aha's head slowly formed a black question mark: "What are you doing?"
Yan Huan flicked his trench coat and looked up, saying with a swagger:
"Stop the nonsense, quickly pass the Aeon position to this humble self!"
"?"
A faint curve slowly formed on Aha's lips.
This kid actually wants the Aeon position.
"Heh, fine... then it depends on whether you can handle it!"
He decisively dropped the microphone on the ground, and the stage's sound system let out a piercing hum.
"Kid." Aha's eyes grew more fervent as he forcefully placed his hand on Yan Huan's head, "Congratulations in advance!"
"Boom—!!"
Instantly, a bursting, majestic energy exploded outwards from the stage.
A terrifying shockwave swept across the entire Herta Space Station, shattering and collapsing everything in its path.
The crew members in the audience instinctively ducked down; the terrifying energy storm almost swept them away.
The lights of the entire Herta Space Station flickered on and off, teetering on the brink of collapse.
All the Herta Automatons were activated and rushed towards the venue, unleashing their power at all costs to suppress the storm.
The Express Crew members also disembarked, doing their best to evacuate the personnel.
"Uncle Yang, what is the Aeon of Joy doing? Why is there such a huge commotion!" March 7th said with difficulty, holding her longbow amidst the energy storm.
Welt tightly gripped his cane, his gaze focused, barely able to see the scene at the center of the storm.
He saw that the Aeon of Joy had transformed into an energy form, tightly enveloping Yan Huan.
"He's really going to stuff all his power into Yan Huan," Welt's expression was grim.
At the center of the storm.
The golden-red mask phantom said ecstatically:
"Hahahaha... Kid, you asked for this, and I'll give you my position! But let's see if your body can take it!!"
Yan Huan floated in the center of the energy form that the Aeon of Joy had become, his golden eyes wide open as if about to split, gritting his back molars tightly.
A massive flow of energy was continuously being poured into his body!
[Detecting foreign energy invasion...]
[Detecting imminent binding by law...]
[Detecting imminent mental deviation...]
[Detecting imminent pollution of host's sea of consciousness...]
Yan Huan gritted his teeth, trying his best to stay conscious.
He understood that ever since the Aeon of Joy had set its sights on him, this day would eventually come.
"Heh heh..." Suddenly, Yan Huan laughed.
His ink-black hair fluttered wildly in the storm, his golden eyes filled with unrestrained madness!
"Aeon of Joy... watch this!"
He declared loudly:
"...The power of a path is not absolute; there is no dead end in this world. As long as I wish to walk, the path lies beneath my feet!"
At the same moment.
Aha felt a change occurring within Yan Huan that he had never encountered before.
[Initiate energy conversion?]
[Converting...]
[In progress...]
"Boom—!!"
Suddenly.
A strange fluctuation erupted from Yan Huan's body. As it quietly spread out, it began to madly devour all the energy Aha had poured in!
Like a black hole, it continuously absorbed the power of the path it encountered into the Stellaron!
"Kid, what exactly are you doing!" Aha roared, sensing the anomaly.
Although his power was indeed being transmitted into Yan Huan's body, the latter had not entered the path of Joy because of it!
The energy sent in was inexplicably assimilated, losing contact and becoming uncontrollable.
"Damn it, I've seen it all...!!"
[Stellaron Level Increased to: Emanator Tier 3]
[Stellaron Level Increased to: Emanator Tier 4]
A continuous stream of power surged into Yan Huan's body.
Every bit of it was converted into the Stellaron.
Aha sensed something was wrong and immediately stopped the energy transfer.
The fierce storm in the venue also slowly subsided.
Seeing the storm suddenly calm, everyone on the space station was stunned, suddenly not understanding what had happened.
Only Aha, who had returned to human form, stood in the center of the stage in shock.
He stared blankly at the human in front of him.
At this moment, Yan Huan also opened his golden eyes, meeting Aha's gaze.
The two stared at each other in silence.
Aha: "..."
Yan Huan: "..."
Aha: "..."
Yan Huan: "..."
Aha: "..."
Yan Huan: "Why did you stop transferring power?"
Aha: "... I'll transfer it to your mother."
