Because of the Heavenly Principles Maintainer, Hermes was not in a hurry to find the Amphoreus.
On the other side, Himeko was also not in a hurry to depart. Having journeyed through the universe for quite some time, the Astral Express crew also needed a period of rest.
What's more, the current Star Crown Court was an incredibly perfect place for the Astral Express crew, perfectly aligning with the Path of Trailblaze.
They even occasionally piloted the Astral Express into the Sea of Quanta, fishing for and studying the unique world bubbles.
Sometimes, they would even rescue a few unlucky souls in the Sea. These days… they were going further and further, and faster and faster, on the Path of Trailblaze!
Under these circumstances, how could they bear to leave so soon?
However, Hermes and the Astral Express crew were not in a hurry, but on the other side, the black cat, Elio, who had furiously torn up several "scripts," was on the verge of going crazy… There was nothing he could do.
To remedy the situation, Elio could only bring out his ultimate trump card.
During this time, the Stellaron Hunters had been quite busy fulfilling Elio's script.
The Yapecan Rebellion.
Stellaron Hunter Kafka, following Elio's script, deliberately allowed herself to be captured by the Yapecan Brotherhood.
"Everything is within Elio's script."
After Sam's precise rescue, Kafka faced a situation that was exactly as the script foretold. Beneath her rose-purple hair, Kafka revealed an elegant and playful smile.
Then, with an understated gesture, she pocketed the Stellaron.
"Elio can see my future."
"I can also'see' my own future."
Sam's mechanical voice faded, replaced by the soft voice of Firefly: "He said there is only one destiny, but before that, I want to know what else I can do myself."
She had always followed Elio's script, which was understandable.
But she hoped to do something extra.
Most of her life had been as a weapon, as "Sam."
If the Entropy Loss Syndrome was irreversible, she hoped to understand this world more authentically as "Firefly."
And not just live out her days as a lonely weapon.
"Don't worry, Firefly, everything is in Elio's script, everything has been arranged."
Kafka, uncharacteristically, showed a touch of tenderness, comforting the little girl she had picked up from the stars.
Although she had no fear, it didn't mean she had no emotions. She had already made a place in her heart for this child she had known for so long, wanting her to have a better future.
And according to Elio's script, everything would come to pass.
Just then, Silver Wolf's figure suddenly appeared beside the two of them.
Then, Silver Wolf said with a solemn expression, "Elio says the script has been changed!"
Upon hearing this, Kafka's composed and elegant expression immediately furrowed deeply, and she asked with some confusion, "That's truly incredible. Can someone change a past that has already been 'determined'?"
The Final Star God, moving against time.
The future of ordinary people, to It, was already the past.
In this situation, Kafka found it somewhat unbelievable that someone could significantly alter Elio's script.
Even the Stellaron Hunters, holding the script, could only carefully lay out their plans one by one.
Drawing upon the power of the Star Gods, proceeding cautiously, ultimately hoping to lead to a better future… "It's Genius Society #84, Hermes!"
Silver Wolf was very interested in this genius who could rewrite the script, but she still finished conveying Elio's words first: "Elio hopes that we will find him/Him at this coordinate and try to reach a consensus on certain matters!"
"Huh? Do I have to go too?"
Firefly was a bit puzzled. In the Stellaron Hunters, she had always played the role of frontal assault. It seemed strange to assign this task to her, didn't it?
"That's right!"
Silver Wolf also felt it was strange, but still stated the facts: "Elio says that if you want to persuade him/Him, you will be a crucial bargaining chip!"
Him/Him?
From Elio's words, both Kafka and Firefly sensed something profound.
What kind of person was #84 that even Elio referred to him as "Him"?
...The universe was vast, almost boundless.
But the universe was also small. With the coordinates in hand, the Stellaron Hunters only took three days to reach the former location of the Star Crown Court.
"What? There's nothing here?"
Silver Wolf scanned the area repeatedly, but despite her skills, she found nothing.
"Although there was a small problem, Elio's script is still very reliable."
Kafka glanced at Silver Wolf and said directly, "What do we do next? Elio must have told you, right?"
While the other two were talking, Firefly looked at the specially treated light cone that Elio had Silver Wolf bring, her eyes somewhat distant.
The figure in the light cone was her former self, before she had the name "Firefly," when she was still AR-26710.
At that time, she was an ordinary Glamoth Iron Cavalry, existing between past and future, without any meaning to her existence.
As Firefly was lost in thought, Hermes, far away in the Star Crown Court, seemed to sense something and showed a subtle expression.
However, in the next instant, he followed his feeling and appeared before the visiting Stellaron Hunters.
With just one glance, Firefly's figure, holding that special light cone, entered his sight.
Immediately.
The subtle emotions in Hermes's eyes grew even stronger.
"Interesting~"
The silver-haired man murmured in confusion, "How could a mere Elio create a wondrous item of this caliber?"
"Or rather, where did he get this thing?"
Silver Wolf and Kafka, who had been talking, instantly fell silent the moment this figure appeared.
The man before them gave them a truly strange feeling!
He clearly looked like a normal human with silver hair and blue eyes, at most a bit handsome… Well, they had actually never seen such a handsome man.
But in a daze, they seemed to feel as if they were sitting next to a humanoid universe.
It was Firefly, after a moment of silence, who spoke softly, "This is what Elio asked me to give you."
"Elio said: If you are willing to accept this wondrous item, it means you have agreed."
"Elio also said: After you accept the wondrous item, he wants me to stay as well, and you will give me a perfect answer I've always dreamed of."
Recalling Elio's original words, Firefly's confusion grew stronger.
