Returning to Ye Yan's side, Fulisina repeatedly emphasized her identity as Saintess of the Church. Fortunately, everyone confirmed her stance and that she was on their side.
Is she really Saintess?
"That's right, it's the Saintess." Fulisina looked at Ye Yan.
Ye Yan once told her: When you're out and about, you must protect your identity and not easily reveal it, otherwise it will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Now, following Ye Yan's example of concealing her identity as the Aeon, she has also fabricated two identities for herself! One is an intern at the [ Neverending ] Machine Shop, and the other is Saintess of the Church!
"I see, the Saintess does indeed sound much more noble than the priestess!" March 7th asked again.
"How does one become Saintess in the Church?"
"Uh..." Fulisina was momentarily speechless, but Ye Yan came to her rescue:
"Holding a heart of devout faith in [ Eternity ] is the most basic requirement to become Saintess. In other words, as long as you are Emanator [ Eternity ], you can become Saintess of the Church."
Xing suddenly realized, pointing at Ye Yan: "I understand, so you're the hidden Saintess of the Church!"
Ye Yan:...
His lips twitched slightly, but he still picked up the conversation. "Hahaha... The Aeon has condescended to Emanator? Interesting."
"Huh?" Fulisina was stunned. Did they all know Ye Yan's identity? Then what was the point of her going through all that trouble to hide it?
Seeing Fulisina's misunderstanding, Xing explained to her, "Let me formally introduce this elegant lady. The handsome man with black hair and purple eyes before you is none other than the newly born Milk Tea Aeon of the Universe!"
"Because of my excessive love for milk tea, I've created a unique [milk tea] Path!"
"Why do you recognize this ' Milk Tea Aeon' so much? This kind of nickname... it's going to distort Teacher Ye Yan's original identity."
" Miss March 7th, thank you so much." Ye Yan clutched his chest and sighed with gratitude, almost bursting into tears of happiness.
Drinking milk tea... has become a stereotype about him. After hearing his nickname "Milk Tea Aeon," the [ Eternity ] Aeon couldn't help but feel a little confused. He felt it was necessary to ask the [ Erudition ] Nous.
In a way, His Aeon persona has been exposed... or perhaps it hasn't.
If they say it's gone, the Astral Express Crew all consider themselves the [ Eternity ] Emanator; if they say it hasn't, Xing often jokes about the Milk Tea Aeon.
When the end-of-month settlement comes, wow! [ Eternity ] Aeon got MVP! Ye Yan was just an easy win!
"What did you say..."
Fulisina was displeased. This gray-haired girl dared to humiliate the [ Eternity ] Aeon in front of her. In her eyes, calling Ye Yan the Milk Tea Aeon was blatant slander!
Sure enough, anyone associated with [ Destruction ] is no good! Xing's previous impression of him has been completely wiped out!
Just as he was about to reason with her using physical means, the door to the mechanical house was pushed open, and the person who came in was none other than Serval Landau.
"Huh, why are there so many more people again..."
After explaining the situation to Serval, the group told her about their experiences in the Underworld and information about the [ Stellaron ], and also handed over Bronya's letter.
"No wonder we haven't heard from Bronya lately; so there's a story behind it. So that's how things are in the Underworld..."
"You trust us?" Seele asked repeatedly.
"I believe your story. It's so convoluted and bizarre; you couldn't have made it up on your own, especially with Miss Seele here as a witness. The Stellaron... Hmm, I know why Bronya wanted you to come to me."
"I'm still a member of the Architects. When I worked in the research department, I studied [ Stellaron ]. I never imagined that after being expelled from the Architects, I'd hear that term again... Come on, let me tell you everything I know."
"But before that, let me make a comment. So this girl isn't one of your companions." Serval chuckled and patted Fulisina's head.
The main problem was that the girl's way of speaking was too peculiar. The blond man next to her didn't translate properly and left after only a few words. She had even asked him to help her tidy up the machine shop.
"Hmph... My heart belongs only to [ Eternity ], and even within [ Preservation ] company, I will still correct the minds of those hyenas!"
"I can tell from their tone that the relationship between the Church and the company doesn't seem to be very good."
"Alright, alright, let me get to the important matter first." Serval waved for everyone to come over:
"Few people in Belobog know of the existence of the [ Stellaron ]; even those who do know of its existence would not connect it to the source of the Fragmentum and the Eternal Freeze."
"But according to the data stored by that robot Svarog... the Architects had actually uncovered the truth long ago, but the research results were deliberately hidden to ensure that they would not be known to the outside world."
Serval spoke, her expression turned somewhat dejected:
"I guess I was just unlucky... Out of so many topics, I had to choose the Stellaron. From Cocolia's perspective, anyone who tries to uncover the truth about the Stellaron will be expelled and dealt with."
"Perhaps I should thank Cocolia; she only drove me away, instead of taking a more permanent approach..."
"Hmm... since you're in the research department, how well do you know about the Stellaron?" March 7th asked.
"I've calculated that the Stellaron is related to the Fragmentum, and I'm very close to the truth. Unfortunately, before I could prove that the Stellaron is the origin of the Fragmentum, I was expelled from the Architects."
"Before I was dismissed, I was applying to conduct on-site surveys of Stellaron. Although it was my research topic, I had never actually seen one before."
"All the research was based on historical data and simulated scenarios built in the lab. My disciplinary action came shortly after the preliminary research report and application were submitted. Clearly, someone didn't want the research to continue."
" The Supreme Guardian is definitely Cocolia," Hoshi declared, her dreams constantly revolving around becoming her... Isn't the implication obvious?
" Cocolia... we haven't spoken for years. We used to be best friends, we could talk about anything."
"But from the moment she assumed the position of Supreme Guardian, she became a completely different person. Her former beliefs, and the passion she once possessed... seemed to have been ripped from her body by some force."
"She personally issued the order to expel me and refused to see me even once... I don't know much about her subsequent actions, and I long ago gave up trying to understand her using normal logic."
"Sometimes, I even suspect she's actually someone else... Is it possible? Maybe the Guardians are a consciousness passed down through generations, and the real Cocolia has disappeared."
"Wow... don't say such terrifying things so casually!" March 7th got goosebumps; how terrifying could that be?
"Was it the successive generations of Supreme Guardian who drove her to make those incomprehensible decisions? I don't know..." Serval thought for a moment:
"Perhaps I could even use this idea to write a song."
