"Woof woof woof~ Woof woof~ Woof woof woof (Younger Brother Zeig, I want a Krabby Patty burger and a Sea King Rod from Sea Dominator)"
Peppy kept howling.
"Woof woof~ (And also...)"
Asta decisively covered Peppy's mouth in her arms, shocked: "Why do you like both of these foods at the same time? Is the royal pet food I buy not satisfying you?"
Peppy broke free from Asta's restraint and continued speaking to Zeig in the guest seats:
"Woof woof~ Woof~ Woof woof woof woof (And instant noodles—not too spicy—and kiukiu underwear tastes so good... meow tea...)"
At this point, Aha in the guest seats was stunned: "Dogs eat instant noodles and drink milk tea too?"
He looked at Zeig, "What breed is it?"
Zeig was writing the menu in a notebook with a pen while waving his hand:
"Sigh, just feed it more and it'll like it. What does it have to do with the breed?"
Aha: "..."
After a long silence, Aha stood up and pulled his chair open.
"Come, sit here."
Zeig was puzzled and put down the pen and notebook: "What are you doing?"
Aha: "Come, I'm letting you sit in this Aeon of Elation position."
Everyone: "..."
In the center of the stage, Asta held Peppy with one hand while staring at Zeig in disbelief:
"Zeig, you even fed Peppy these things?! Aren't you afraid of ruining its health!"
"What's there to be afraid of." Zeig waved his hand, "Our Herta Space Station is full of talented people. If something really goes wrong, the medical department isn't just for show. Besides, whatever I eat, it eats—I can't treat it poorly."
Aha continued pulling the chair:
"Come come come, sit here sit here, don't be polite!"
Everyone: "..."
Asta was furious:
"You... you!!"
She clenched her teeth, her pretty face almost turning red from anger.
Everything Peppy usually ate and used was carefully purchased by her, and even its grooming was handled by professionals with care.
Yet how long had Zeig been here? He had already turned Peppy into this!
"Woof woof woof woof~ Woof woof~ (Thank you, Younger Brother Zeig. I'll wait for your good news tonight)"
"Woof woof~ Woof woof woof~ (By the way, keep playing the next video. Finish early so we can eat early)"
Peppy howled excitedly.
Completely unaware that Asta's expression was growing increasingly dark.
Asta: "..."
She walked toward Arlan with a darkened face, silently holding Peppy:
"Arlan, take Peppy back for a bath first. Watch it closely during dinner time—don't let a certain someone take advantage again."
Arlan broke into a cold sweat from Asta's terrifying gaze.
He sheepishly took Peppy and swore:
"I-I understand, Miss... I'll definitely watch Peppy closely."
Then, Arlan picked up Peppy and hurriedly ran down from the audience seats.
Everyone: "..."
Peppy—GG.
The Zeig fan group had another fierce general banned.
This time, it wasn't Aha who banned it—it was Asta, the station master and host, who personally handled it.
"Pfft... damn, you've got me dying of laughter!" Aha sat in his chair, frantically slapping Zeig's shoulder.
"Kid, you've lost another great general. And this time it wasn't me who banned it! I'm telling you, you're really something?! An elementary school kid is one thing, but you even managed to bring in a Peppy? And you still dare say you're normal?"
Zeig slapped Aha's hand away, his gaze sharp:
"It's just a bit of hardship. The innocent prove themselves innocent. White is white—no matter how you smear me, it's useless!"
"Fine, I want to see how you keep toughing it out next!" Aha's lips curved into a strange smile.
At this moment, March 7th in the judges' seats began to feel puzzled.
"Why is the Aeon of Elation still so calm? All the previous videos have been completely refuted—he doesn't seem worried at all?"
At this point.
Dan Heng, who had been silently observing, spoke.
"There are two possibilities."
"One is that he actually doesn't care about the result at all. This voting process is, to him, just a source of amusement."
"Two is that he has a bigger trump card—one so big that even if Wen Shiling and Peppy teamed up, they absolutely couldn't refute it."
March 7th tilted her head:
"Ah? What trump card could he still have?"
In the center of the stage.
Asta adjusted her state, held the microphone, and continued very reluctantly:
"Okay, next is the final material provided by Mr. Aha."
The screen flashed.
Aha in the guest seats had already curved his lips upward.
As the audience expected, in chronological order, this video should be after Zeig encountered the Aeon of Destruction.
In the video, he not only pushed away March 7th who had risked her life to rescue him, but also destroyed the Astral Gate with one sword.
Watching it, March 7th immediately felt touched.
In this scene, Zeig's reaction had nothing to do with the words "lunatic."
It was even righteous and awe-inspiring, moving March 7th a bit.
If this could be used as evidence, even she could stand up to refute.
Aha still didn't speak.
He just quietly stared at the screen, extremely confident.
The scene shifted to Zeig brutally beating the Aeon of Destruction.
Ink-black long hair danced with flames, golden pupils burned fiercely.
In the footage, the surging momentum that suddenly erupted from Zeig gave many researchers goosebumps.
This Zeig was too different from the one they knew.
Actively collapsing the consciousness space, fighting to the death with the Aeon of Destruction. Even if he died, this avatar of the Aeon of Destruction would perish along with the collapsing consciousness space.
It wouldn't affect the people outside.
Many researchers, seeing this, were already silently moved.
March 7th furrowed her beautiful brows because she saw Aha was still smiling.
"Could it be that the Aeon of Elation wants to use the segment where he and Zeig tormented the Aeon of Destruction together to prove it?" March 7th guessed.
Indeed, that segment did have some use.
But it shouldn't make the Aeon of Elation that confident.
Soon.
The scene really switched to Aha and Zeig tormenting the Aeon of Destruction.
But after the previous buildup, not a single researcher thought there was a problem with it.
Instead, they found it satisfying.
The space station had just experienced a great disaster; they had all suffered at the hands of the Swarm bugs and nearly lost their lives.
Back then, Zeig's intervention was undoubtedly a hero emerging, saving them from peril.
And in this video, seeing the supreme god commanding the Swarm bugs getting beaten up made many researchers more excited the longer they watched.
Aeons... could get beaten too.
And now, the ruthless person who beat an Aeon was sitting in the guest seats.
Even with the Aeon of Elation binding the avatar of the Aeon of Destruction, Zeig had truly, with a human body, beaten a divine body to death alive.
He... had truly slain a god.
March 7th looked toward the audience seats.
The expressions on those researchers' faces were all admiration.
Light seemed to appear in their eyes.
An invisible force told them that even humans, without stepping onto a Path, unbound by rules, could live very well.
But at this moment.
"Swish—!!"
Aha stood up. In contrast to the gradually silent audience seats, his smile did not diminish.
He said loudly:
"This program should come to an end now."
Immediately after.
In everyone's gaze.
The screen suddenly showed the live scene of the stage.
Everyone was in it!
"Wh-what does he... mean by this?" March 7th said uneasily.
Welt beside her furrowed his brows tightly.
He deeply looked at the Aeon of Elation:
"So that's it. This is indeed irrefutable evidence."
March 7th suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart, as if she had forgotten something crucial.
"Uncle Yang, what exactly are you saying."
"Hahahahaha!!" Suddenly, the Aeon of Elation burst into loud laughter.
He spread his hands.
Speaking solemnly to the entire audience:
"Everyone! Think about how long I've been lingering here? Do you still remember which Path's Aeon I am? Hahahaha!"
He grinned widely, fully displaying his unrestrained madness:
"Everyone knows that Paths are the laws of everything! And right now, I'm standing here—the Aeon of Elation is standing here! The time I've lingered here for this kid is the most irrefutable proof!"
Immediately, everyone in the venue was stunned.
…
The Aeon of Elation was right.
Who could... deny the laws of the Path?
…
