Zeig squatted on the mountain peak, looking down at the constantly surging clouds below, his gaze sharp and bright.
"Dropping from such a high place, it should definitely cure him instantly, right?"
Aha frowned.
"What's with that way of speaking?" he said displeased, "This is called being free like the wind!"
Not long after, a wisp of wronged soul floated up.
It stared fixedly at the two people above who were mocking him.
After noticing it, Zeig was greatly shocked:
"Wow, a ghost coming to claim a life!"
Aha stared at that semi-transparent body, delighted: "Look, he's really cured, right!"
Looking at these two lunatics, Nanook's consciousness soul body was speechless for a moment.
The shell he had here had already been shattered by Zeig, and exhausting his last strength, he could only maintain this state for three minutes.
Nanook coldly looked at Aha, saying in a deep voice: "Aeon of Elation, why did you come to interfere with me."
Aha raised an eyebrow, letting out a teasing laugh.
"Why can't I come to interfere with you? You're allowed to come here and block the door, but I'm not allowed to come watch the excitement too?"
Nanook frowned, glanced at Zeig, and said to Aha:
"Do you know how much change he will bring to this universe? If we don't eliminate him now, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Hearing this, Aha immediately became amused.
"Oh ho, there's even something good like that? That would be fantastic!"
He excitedly looked at a certain someone named Zeig, his eyes full of appreciation:
"Kid, he says you're really awesome!"
Zeig was immediately surprised as well:
"Damn, he even discovered this. Who exactly leaked the information?"
Nanook speechlessly looked at these two lunatics.
He didn't have much time left; he didn't want to listen to their nonsense anymore.
"This human, is he your Emanator?"
"Nope." Aha casually replied.
Nanook was furious:
"Then since he's not your Emanator, why are you stopping me?!"
"He's a seed candidate. As long as he's willing, the next Aeon of Elation position is his for the taking!" Aha mocked.
"Besides," Aha gradually lowered his voice, "what I've done is merely use my power to shield your Path's power. I haven't given this kid any help in increasing his strength at all."
Aha grinned widely: "In other words, without inheriting my Path, he really can beat your avatar to death alive, hahahaha...!!"
"Although this is just formed from your consciousness, he actually did it relying only on his human body. He beat a divine body to death alive!"
"Hahahaha... Don't you think this is the biggest joke ever? I've never seen a guy who, without attaching to any Path, could kill a divine body! You live long enough to see everything!"
Aha's eyes grew increasingly crazed.
He continued teasing:
"Tell me, is it possible that one day, he could really beat your full body to death alive too?"
At this moment, Nanook's expression was extremely ugly.
Although there was the factor of the Aeon of Elation restricting his power, he had indeed been beaten to death alive in his avatar's divine body by this human.
Logically, even a wisp of an Aeon's consciousness avatar, even without fighting back, shouldn't be eliminable by a human without Path power.
This human must not be kept alive!
"So, you're determined to become my enemy." Nanook narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at Aha who was still maintaining a provocative stance.
"No no no, what do you mean I'm determined to become your enemy?" Aha corrected, "How many people want to kill you—don't you have any idea? I'm just forced into this."
"Don't forget, you're even more infamous than me."
Nanook: "..."
Ignoring the Aeon of Elation's trash talk, he deeply looked at Zeig once more.
Then, he turned into streaming light.
Truly disappearing from this consciousness space.
As if he had never come.
"Kid, this time he's really gone."
Aha stood with hands behind his back, looking at Zeig with great interest.
"How about it, want to consider accepting my power?"
Zeig helplessly waved his hand: "No way, I'm afraid I'll turn into a lunatic too."
Aha: "?"
"It seems you don't have a clear understanding of yourself! How could you think that you're not a lunatic right now?"
Zeig turned serious, quickly waving his hand: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
…
Herta Space Station.
Because Zeig had previously destroyed the Astral Gate from the inside, Nanook's consciousness didn't chase out.
After the crew members learned the news, for safety, they still observed from the space battleship for three hours.
Only after confirming it was safe did they return to the space station in batches, restoring operations.
Zeig remained unconscious, and by Herta's order, was placed into a medical pod.
On the space station's screens, a edited video about Zeig was playing.
The content was him brutally beating the Aeon of Destruction, as well as teaming up with the Aeon of Elation to torment the Aeon of Destruction for 108,000 kilometers—a compilation.
Even the uploader thoughtfully provided a download link.
Everyone on the space station received a strange text message on their phones, which was precisely a one-click download for an even faster version.
Leaving them speechless for a while.
On the screen right now, the Aeon of Elation's greeting was being live-streamed.
He pointed his finger at the crowd outside the screen while frowning at Zeig:
"Kid, I'm starting a vote right now, letting the masses tell you whether you're a lunatic or not!"
"Alright, bring it on! The masses' eyes are sharp and bright!"
Zeig politely bowed to the crew members outside the screen, shyly saying:
"I hope everyone discerns right from wrong, doesn't vote maliciously, participates fairly and justly in this event, doesn't cheat, thank you for your support."
Immediately after, a data bar really appeared on the big screen, displaying the vote counts in real time.
At the same moment, everyone's phones all went "ding" without exception—another strange text message.
The message content was this.
'Aha reminds you: Participating in the vote gives you a chance to earn shopping points. Come join! Click the link below to participate immediately: https...'
The crowd looked at the message and fell silent once more.
The content in the link was this.

Obviously he's a lunatic, what the hell are you hesitating for? He's not a lunatic, look at me look at me, I'm announcing something—I'm an idiot! I choose A, idiots who choose B remember to increase your medication dosage!
"..."
"Uncle Yang, how should I vote for this?" March 7th held up her phone, asking Welt.
Welt pushed up his glasses, "Everyone should just follow their own hearts. Since it's a vote, we must maintain principles of fairness and justice, otherwise the vote loses its meaning."
March 7th was still hesitating whether or not to vote for that 'A. Obviously he's a lunatic, what the hell are you hesitating for?' option.
The option below was 'B. He's not a lunatic, look at me look at me, I'm announcing something—I'm an idiot!'
And there was 'C. I choose A, idiots who choose B remember to increase your medication dosage!'
March 7th: "..."
Truth be told, she actually didn't want Zeig to really take over the Aeon of Elation's position, because that would very likely make him leave the Astral Express.
While the others nearby started campaigning for votes.
"Everyone, I won't say much more—the masses' eyes are sharp and bright. Let's choose A to let Brother Zeig become an Emanator; we'll all be witnesses to history!"
"Get lost get lost, if even I can't become an Emanator, he's not allowed either! So what if I'm playing dead—I'm choosing B!" That person said, immediately pressing the vote button on his phone.
"Hey, are you okay? Brother Zeig saved the space station and saved you—how can you not wish him well?"
"Tch." That person sneered, "Acting like you're the only gentleman here. Didn't your project still pass because of connections? Stop pretending— if a person doesn't look out for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them!"
For a time, opinions varied wildly inside the space station.
The vote that originally had no suspense, to Aha's shock, had the B option miraculously high as well—only a few votes less than A!
Aha: "?"
He looked at the crowd outside the screen in shock.
"...Are you guys okay?"
