In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
During this time, Robin had taken up the banner of Penacony, stepping from her role as an Iris Family artist to temporarily assume the position of head of the Oak Family. She was responsible for negotiating with various factions, effectively inheriting Sunday's position.
This was highly unusual. Due to concerns over impartiality and her age, Robin had no formal qualification for this role.
By comparison, Old Oti of the Alfalfa Family, Bloodhound Family head Don Wyatt, and Maeven Ellis of the Iris Family were all far more qualified to become Penacony's new leader.
But who had the man behind Robin?
The Emanator of Erudition, a mysterious figure capable of defeating Septimus—a being of unfathomable depth.
This mysterious figure had, after the battle, risen twelve suns over Penacony, each shining Light of Hope across the twelve moments of the Dreamscape, illuminating every visitor.
With this single act, the scandal that had tarnished Penacony's reputation due to public opinion was reversed, and visitors from across the galaxy became even more enthusiastic.
What's that? You say Penacony's Dreamscape was full of accidents and extremely dangerous?
True, it had been dangerous before—because there were bad actors among the crowds.
But now, it was different. An Emanator of Erudition had defeated the troublemakers and now shielded Penacony.
The presence of an Emanator-level force was rare across the entire galaxy—it was extremely safe.
You say Penacony isn't attractive?
The twelve suns of the Dreamscape—that's the ultimate draw. That Erudition Emanator had once used the power of these suns to defeat another Emanator—truly legendary.
Legends even said the light of these suns represented hope; being bathed in it would bring continuous fortune, eventually becoming a CEO, marrying the ideal partner, and reaching life's pinnacle.
Of course, Sol knew it wasn't that mystical. Hope ultimately had to be earned through effort.
Still, the Awakened from dreams and helped him initially had received some extra rewards.
That light could save them in critical moments, and also offered the possibility of evolving into beings of pure light.
So, in a sense, wasn't that also a kind of Pathstrider?
The light of hope had already become half an Aeon in this universe!
And after a few days of circulation, the Penacony incident had spread across the galaxy, stirring up a huge commotion.
…
Herta Space Station, Main Control Corridor.
This was the brain of the colossal Herta Space Station, transmitting commands that allowed the galaxy-renowned Genius Society to operate in perfect order.
Staff in uniform hustled back and forth, mostly from different planets, each selected through the strictest standards to work here.
Every face bore a proud expression, coupled with energetic enthusiasm for their work.
They worked at Herta Space Station, contributing in small ways to the 83rd-seat genius, Ms. Herta.
Even if most of their individual achievements weren't the best in the universe, just thinking of Ms. Herta's legendary accomplishments made them stand taller with pride.
She was a genius highly regarded by Aeons, having completed legendary research projects such as the Isolated Wave Algorithm and Frond Constants, renowned across the cosmos.
To work under such a genius—even a 26-hour workday felt exhilarating. Well, there were only 24 hours, anyway.
"What a thriving, vibrant scene."
A beautiful girl with long pink hair admired the dedicated staff, impressed by their enthusiasm.
The station director of Herta Space Station—the second-in-command beneath Ms. Herta herself.
Slim of shoulder yet bearing the monumental weight of Herta Space Station, the wealthy universe magnate, Asta!
Every time she saw the staff working diligently, she felt gratified.
This harmony owed much to her efforts.
After appreciating the staff's enthusiasm, Asta picked up her communicator.
Due to spacetime curvature, widely separated locations could experience time differently—what felt like one day here could be ten years elsewhere.
News had to be checked constantly to avoid missing important events.
And as a responsible director, Asta would not miss any interstellar developments!
She smiled, eyes narrowing slightly, fingers scrolling over the screen. "Let's see… what major news has happened today?"
[Bad news from Penacony…]
