"What the fuck was that!?"
Pitch high, Arlan tried to grasp any straw, to make sense of the vision he saw. He knew what Aeons felt like (due to being with Ms. Herta many times), and he can confidently say, with an open heart, that what he saw...
Was not an Aeon, noteven remotely close...
Gasping, sweat flowing down his brow, he got up from kneeling, legs still weak from the display of divinity. Turning his head, he saw that many, if not all, were standing up, sweating, still stupefied by the sudden entrance of the 'God Emperor of Mankind'.
Shinji got up as well, brows frowning. Despite not being impacted like the others, the revelation granted to him by His benevolence gleamed at the possible terror that damned this world. And if what he thinks is right, this world is in a more perilous position than he imagined.
But what can I do? The trials of this world must be done by those who live here. Only they can push the darkness away from themselves...
Sighing, Shinji turned his head towards the shell-shocked survivors, expression once again stoic...

"Okay, and so you're saying that an Aeon, or something that feels like an Aeon, ce and vanquished Nanook? And His name is 'The God Emperor of Mankind'? Interesting..."
A fair-skinned and long, ash brown-haired woman, wearing a black, white, and purple open corset-styled dress, is seen hovering above the floor, her expression intrigued. So much had happened in her space station, from being hacked and invaded by Kafka and Silver Wolf (next time she comes, she'll make sure to ban her 76 accounts, that stinking rat), to being attacked by the Antimatter legion, to being gazed upon by Nanook. These were all under her predictions, but the appearance of the being calling Himself the God Emperor was a pleasant surprise.
Though she tried getting here as fast as possible, she was still far too late, only glimpsing a gaunt, skeletal face gazing at her, before fading away. Though perturbed, she dismissed it, for she had things that could be touched.
Such as the three beings who identify themselves as coming from another world
"Fascinating. And pray, could you please tell us about your...universe?"
Though her face bore no change, her eyes gleamed at the thought of gaining information that even Nous doesn't know, about worlds outside the Imaginary Tree. "Hehehe... Little girl, sometimes it's not worth it to learn more than you can chew..."
Though Himiko wanted to tell about her world (she saw a new best friend, and best friends share everything, right?), Killinger put a stop to her wheedling. He knew better than her to glean at information you shouldn't know, given he has lived for over 10,000 years (if you want proof, look at what happened to the Guild of Calamitous Intent!). He did not want another situation happening here again...
Not to mention, anything from that Hellhole of a place does not need to come here
Staring at the rude interrupter, Herta wanted to see who was brazen enough to interrupt her. Seeing that it was an old man, she decided to play a trick. Using her vast intellectual capability, she attempted to read his mind, only to have her nose bleed at the sheer strain it brought.
"W-what are you...?"
Herta wondered with shock as Asta ran towards her, carrying tissues to wipe away the blood. "You cannot invade my mind, you silly Billy. Take this as a lesson well earned, for you shouldn't invade others' privacy without their permission."
Dr. Killinger walked away, adjusting his mask. Grabbing a confused Himiko, he walked towards Shinji, unwilling to talk any longer with the disobedient little brat. "Oh, and one more thing:
You should be glad it was me you wanted to probe first..."
At his cryptic warning, the rest grew confused, except one.
Welt's eyes grew wide at the implication, for it dawned on him what Shinji was. He wasn't an ordinary Space Marine...
He was a Librarian
Before Welt could do anything, Shinji turned back, staring at Welt for a second, before turning towards Herta. "Ms... Herta, right? Is it alright if I bring my spaceship here?"
