"The situation seems a bit unfavorable."
"Cocolia's energy is constantly increasing with the battle."
"Bronya and the others are gradually falling into a disadvantage."
"If this continues, the situation will get worse and worse."
"Takagi, is it time for us to make a move?"
Topaz frowned and said to Takagi.
Although Bennett, Amber, and others who received Takagi's buffs later were also not weak, compared to the increasingly strong Cocolia, they were still far inferior. Topaz didn't think any good result would come from the battle continuing.
"No need to rush, Ms. Topaz."
"Falling into a disadvantage is exactly the result I want."
Takagi said with a smile.
"You hope Bronya and the others fall into a disadvantage?"
Topaz asked doubtfully.
"To be precise, I hope Stelle falls into a disadvantage."
Takagi looked at Stelle, who was fighting with Cocolia, and said.
Perhaps because Stelle also had a Stellaron within her body, after she got close to Cocolia, Cocolia directed more attacks towards Stelle. As if wanting to devour Stelle with her attacks. In this situation, even with the help of Morax, Bronya, and others, Stelle gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"I don't understand what you mean?"
Topaz looked at Stelle, this Nameless she didn't understand, feeling even more confused.
"Isn't it often mentioned in stories?"
"People with sufficiently firm will can often erupt and grow when they are in a disadvantage or desperate situation."
"I, ah, hope to see Stelle grow."
Takagi casually explained a few things to Topaz, then found Herta's contact number on his phone and dialed it.
[Herta: Takagi? What do you want from me at this time?]
"This is... Herta's voice?!"
Topaz looked over in surprise.
Takagi: "Herta, do you want to meet an Aeon?"
[Herta: Huh?! What's going on?!]
"Stelle is fighting with someone carrying a Stellaron."
"I have a premonition that she might meet the Preservation Aeon later."
"If you're interested, you can come and take a look."
"Of course, the probability of success is not 100%."
Takagi said.
[Herta: I'm coming right now, wait for me!]
After saying that, Herta directly hung up the phone. Although meeting an Aeon only through Stelle was different from Takagi directly summoning the Abundance Aeon that one time, this did not hinder Herta's enthusiasm, even though Takagi told her that the success rate of seeing the Preservation Aeon was not 100%.
[Dehya: Did I just hear correctly? Did Takagi say something like Stelle will meet the Preservation Aeon?]
[Candace: The Preservation Aeon... after meeting the Destruction Aeon, can Stelle still meet the Preservation Aeon?]
[Kaveh: While I really want to believe Takagi, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?]
[Scaramouche: Is that Stelle, who carries a Stellaron, really that special?]
[Lumine: Stelle's power increased after she saw the Destruction Aeon. If she were to see the Preservation Aeon, wouldn't her power go up another level?]
[Alice: The current Stelle should be a Destruction Pathstrider. If Takagi is not mistaken, she might even step onto the Path of Preservation by seeing the Preservation Aeon.]
[Alice: At that time, she would be a multi-Pathstrider, just like Takagi.]
[Beidou: If Stelle can truly see an Aeon, will the others who went with Takagi be able to see an Aeon through physical contact with Takagi, like Asta and Ms. Herta?]
[Arlecchino: The premise is that Stelle truly sees an Aeon, and at that time, Takagi is close enough to Stelle.]
...
"Takagi, you're so familiar with Ms. Herta, a member of the Genius Society?"
"She couldn't really have come to Jarilo-VI, could she?"
"Even if she wanted to rush over, she wouldn't be able to make it in time, right?"
"Wait, how can you be so sure that Stelle can see the Preservation Aeon?"
Topaz asked Takagi, surprised.
"I just have that premonition."
Takagi smiled, looking up at the sky.
"As for Herta, she left a puppet on my Astral Express."
"If she wants to come, she can naturally arrive very quickly."
As he spoke, Takagi subtly released a hint of his aura, so that Herta, who was rushing over, wouldn't fail to notice him in his invisible state.
Topaz blinked, somewhat disbelievingly following Takagi's gaze to the sky. However, the next moment, her eyes widened. She saw a figure traverse space at an extremely fast speed, quickly appearing before her eyes.
"Ms. Herta!" Topaz exclaimed.
"I remember you, you're Topaz from the IPC."
Herta glanced at Topaz, then quickly looked back at Takagi.
"How much longer do you think it will be until Stelle sees the Preservation Aeon?" Herta asked.
When she arrived, she had already seen Stelle and the others fighting Cocolia.
"Just wait a little longer, don't be too impatient."
Takagi said with a smile.
Just then, his phone rang again. Takagi picked it up and saw that it was a message from Ruan Mei.
"Herta, did you tell Ms. Ruan Mei the message I sent you earlier?" Takagi asked Herta, looking at Ruan Mei's message.
"Ms. Ruan Mei?" "Another member of the Genius Society?" Topaz was shocked.
"Yes, I was having tea with her earlier, so I casually told her the information you sent."
"Is she looking for you for something?" Herta asked.
"Nothing much, she just wants to come here and take a look too."
Takagi shrugged casually and said.
"She's planning to come too? Given the distance between Herta Space Station and this planet, she shouldn't be able to make it in time...?!"
Herta blinked, looking somewhat dazed at Ruan Mei, who appeared beside Takagi accompanied by a flash of white light.
"Thank you, Takagi."
Ruan Mei smiled and nodded at Takagi.
"It was just a small favor, no trouble at all."
Takagi waved his hand and said.
"It really is Ms. Ruan Mei!" Topaz looked at Ruan Mei, then at Takagi, feeling that Takagi was even more worth investing in.
"Wait, Ruan Mei, how did you get here?"
"Takagi, do you also have the ability to teleport someone over a long distance?"
"And not through the Astral Express?" Herta asked Takagi, puzzled.
"What, didn't Ruan Mei tell you?"
"I gave her a mini-teleportation beacon."
"So I can freely teleport to her side, or pull her to my side."
Takagi pointed to Ruan Mei's necklace and said.
"Mini-teleportation beacon..." Himeko looked at Ruan Mei, her gaze lingering on her necklace for a moment.
"So that's it, I knew your necklace looked different than before."
"So it's because Takagi gave you something good!" Herta put her hands on her hips, gave Ruan Mei a deep look, then immediately turned to Takagi.
"Takagi, can you give me one of your mini-teleportation beacons?" Herta asked.
She had no doubt that Takagi could create mini-teleportation beacons. After all, in her eyes, Takagi was already a candidate for the Trailblaze Aeon.
Takagi: "No."
Herta: "Give it to me, please."
Takagi shook his head and said, "No means no. Mini-teleportation beacons are rare, they can't be given to others casually."
"Besides, don't I have your puppet on my Astral Express? What do you need a mini-teleportation beacon for?"
He was joking, he only had two mini-teleportation beacons left. He couldn't just give them to others casually. Who knew if he would still be able to draw rewards like mini-teleportation beacons after the next travel settlement.
"Using a puppet for transfer is not as fast as direct teleportation like Ruan Mei's."
"And what if you're very far from the Astral Express one day? Even if I log into your puppet here, I might not be able to reach your side in time."
Herta said.
"No means no, begging me won't work either."
Takagi said flatly, crossing his arms.
"Then why can Ruan Mei get a mini-teleportation beacon from you?" Herta asked, frowning.
At this moment, Herta couldn't help but regret not finding a suitable opportunity to talk to Takagi alone like Ruan Mei did. Otherwise, she might not have to go through so much trouble asking Takagi for a mini-teleportation beacon. As a genius researcher, her request for a mini-teleportation beacon from Takagi was not just to be able to get to Takagi's side in time. She also wanted to thoroughly study the principles behind Takagi's mini-teleportation beacon.
Well...
Hearing Herta's question, Takagi turned his head and looked Ruan Mei up and down. Then, he solemnly said to Herta:
"She has long legs, and you don't."
Herta's eyes widened, looking at Takagi in disbelief: "Just, just because of this?"
Takagi nodded: "That's right, just because of this!"
Herta: "I have them too, my main body does!"
Takagi: "Then why don't you just use your main body to see me?"
Herta: "..."
Herta was somewhat speechless. Of course, she knew Takagi was just making up an excuse to brush her off. But even so, she still wanted to get the miniature teleportation coordinate from Takagi. Of course, it wasn't just Herta; at this moment, Himeko's eyes, looking at Takagi, were also surprisingly bright.
Topaz was the same. She took a deep look at Takagi and thought to herself:
Herta Space Station is not close to Jarilo-VI. However, that miniature teleportation coordinate was actually able to teleport Ms. Ruan Mei directly here. If Takagi was willing to share this technology, future interstellar travel might become much more convenient. However, even Herta found it difficult to obtain the teleportation coordinate from Takagi. It would likely be an extremely difficult task to get Takagi to share this technology.
Speaking of which, Ms. Herta and Ms. Ruan Mei were actually willing to come to Belobog because of what Takagi said... Could Stelle really be able to see the Preservation Aeon later?
Topaz thought to herself, looking up suspiciously in Takagi's direction, and happened to see Ruan Mei and Herta each holding one of Takagi's hands, one on the left and one on the right.
No, no way! What exactly is the relationship between these two geniuses and Takagi?!
While Topaz was surprised by Herta's and Ruan Mei's actions, Himeko, Cloud Retainer, Lisa, and others also came to Takagi's side one after another, looking like they were reaching out to touch Takagi.
"What are you doing?"
Topaz asked with a confused look.
"Didn't Takagi tell you?"
Herta looked at Topaz and asked.
"Tell me what?"
Topaz tilted her head, asking in confusion.
"Let me explain."
"If Stelle can see the Preservation Aeon later,"
"I can probably also see the Preservation Aeon through her."
"And those who have physical contact with me can probably also see the Preservation Aeon."
"That's why they're acting like this."
Takagi said, turning back to look at Himeko, Welt, who had already placed their hands on his back, and the other eager Teyvat passengers.
"However, I think direct physical contact with me isn't necessary either."
"Indirect physical contact is also acceptable."
"So the rest of you don't need to think about putting your hands on me."
"You can also put your hands on others like Herta, Ruan Mei, Himeko, or Welt."
Takagi said.
Hearing Takagi's words, Cloud Retainer, Nahida, and the others who had been hesitant about finding a place to touch Takagi also breathed a sigh of relief. After discussing with Himeko and the others, they all found their positions.
As for The Doctor, after being rejected by Ruan Mei and Herta, and politely refused by Himeko and Welt, he set his sights on La Signora. However, when he tried to put his hand on La Signora's shoulder, she glared fiercely back at him. The Doctor chuckled awkwardly and looked at Lisa, Nahida, and the other passengers, who naturally did not respond to him either. Finally, The Doctor could only look at Takagi helplessly. But Takagi had no intention of looking back at him.
[Tartaglia: This Doctor guy is a bit too pathetic, isn't he? He can't even find a place for himself!]
[Rosaria: If it were you, Childe, you might not be any better than The Doctor.]
[Tartaglia: I shouldn't be that annoying, right?]
[Yelan: Who knows? Perhaps in some people's eyes, you might be even more annoying than The Doctor, it's hard to say.]
[Tartaglia: Slander! How could I be more annoying than The Doctor?]
[Yelan: Heh heh.]
[Arlecchino: The Doctor is indeed regrettable.]
...
"Do you all really think Takagi can lead you to see the Preservation Aeon?"
Topaz watched as Lisa and Cloud Retainer found their positions one after another, asking in surprise and doubt. Hearing this, everyone nodded at Topaz. Seeing this scene, Topaz was momentarily at a loss for words.
In her opinion, Takagi predicting that Stelle could see the Preservation Aeon was already absurd enough. Even if Takagi was a Pathstrider of Trailblaze, he shouldn't possess such prophetic abilities. Not to mention, Takagi also said he could bring a large group of people to see the Preservation Aeon together.
However, for such an absurd matter, since Ruan Mei, Herta, Himeko, and the others all showed an attitude of belief, this made Topaz feel a bit unconfident about her own thoughts.
Just then, a violent fluctuation suddenly erupted from the battlefield ahead. Topaz turned her head and was surprised to find that Stelle's body had actually been pierced by the spear Cocolia held in her hand.
"The time has come, everyone. We should depart."
Takagi said, as Trailblaze Energy rose from his body, enveloping himself and those near him.
Topaz had personally experienced Takagi's teleportation ability. Seeing the light shining on Takagi and the people around him at this moment, she immediately understood that Takagi was about to teleport.
"Wait, take me with you too."
Topaz was ultimately curious about Takagi's claim of meeting an Aeon. With a flash, she directly pounced in front of Takagi, hugging his waist tightly with both hands. Takagi glanced at her, said nothing more, and directly activated the teleportation ability.
The next moment, he and those who had direct or indirect physical contact with him were teleported to Stelle's side. Takagi quickly released Imaginary Energy to pull Bronya, Seele, Morax, and others to his side, making everyone automatically hold hands and stand in a line. Welt, who had been greeted by Takagi, immediately reached out and placed his hand on Morax's shoulder, who was standing at the very front.
Before Morax, Seele, and the others could ask in confusion, a mysterious fluctuation emanated from Stelle's body. Everyone felt their consciousness violently tremble uncontrollably, and even their awareness seemed to become blurry.
However, this feeling came and went quickly. Soon, everyone recovered their senses. They looked up at their surroundings, surprised to find that they had actually arrived in a vast, radiant expanse of space. And Stelle was standing not far from them at this moment.
