"Oh yeah, I forgot I have these." - Akivili pulled out a box of sweets and snacks from under the table. Those looked weird to Stelle, but after seeing how the Aeon ate them... She assumed it was safe to eat and just casually ate a candy, it was nice. "Now what were you going to ask me again, child?"

"Yeah what was up with the name you mentioned in the last chapter? What people ring?"

"Oh... I might have gotten the name wrong or they are just all dead, but... Well, they are like picked by Nous by hand personally... To join into some sort of weird Club. I only paid interest to a few of them and all of them have this universal revolution idea that can either result in the total destruction of the Cosmos or just elevate all of us to the next level of Equilibrium."

"Oh you mean the Genius Society."

"..." - Akivili stayed quiet for a moment. "Well, to be fair, Nerds' Club does have the same meaning. The First Emperor's War was caused by their #27, Rubert. And oh boy, things were [Trailblaze profanity] back then. Imagine while you are cooking all of your kitchen appliances just gained sentience and fled from your kitchen."

Stelle has a feeling that she has seen it somewhere before, but since she can't exactly recall what it is, she just let it slide from her mind.

"We had to hire a tech expert from the damn IPC to fix all of our things back then, because the speakers just kept playing [Condensed In Collection of Object] in bedtime, the shower would automatically be flipped to either extremely cold or extremely hot whenever someone is taking a shower."

Stelle cannot imagine that at all, those must have been really... annoying, that she kinda shivers from thinking about it, she just chuckled awkwardly...

"Please tell me that Pom Pom still does the annual technical equipment check-up." - Akivili asked, THEY seemed to be worried about this matter in particular.

Stelle doesn't know how to answer so she just nods to make the Aeon rest at ease.

"Alright... Well, are you acquainted with any of the Geniuses by chance?" - Akivili asked.

"..."

This might come as a shock to Akivili, but then Stelle decided to tell her about her relationship with the Geniuses, particularly the ones that are in collaborations for the Simulated Universe project, as well as making a good impression on the Aeon of Trailblaze.

"Interesting... So you have those so-called Stellarons? What are they?" - Akivili inquired, seemed to be fond of the topic of new things. "Have there been... New Aeons while I was gone?"

"Well... I think yes, have you ever heard of Lan?"

"What does Local Area Network have to do with this? Or has Nous finally created an Aeon-made Aeon?"

"What? No."

"I was just goofing around with you, anyways tell me more about Lan..."

Stelle tryna recall her expertise in Star Rail's lore... Which she absolutely sucks at.

"Well... I think it started with Yaoshi..."

"Yaoshi? Who is that again?"

"Well... So you don't seem to know Yaoshi and Lan... I assume not Nanook too."

"Damn."

"??"

"I was gone for like, what, a few Amber Eras and then the Cosmos gave birth to at least 3 Aeons. Anyways, tell me more about them, I would prefer if you have some pictures of them as well."

Stelle pulled out her phone and find some pictures for Akivili...

"Well here's Lan."

"Dude seems cool. Like he merged with a horse, reminded me of those old creatures in the old tales some of the passengers would usually tell to their children. What does he do?"

"He is the Aeon of the Path of the Hunt."

"The Hunt? Seemed new for me. What does he hunt? Rabbits? Deers?"

"An Aeon."

"Damn, stepping up the game I see, let's hope he doesn't get his hand on Qlipoth's hammer or Aha's secret stash of weaponries hid on the Express."

"Aha hid what now?"

"Nothing."

"..anyways here's Nanook."

"... I think I hung out with Aha so much that I almost accidentally let a certain word slip from my mouth that would certainly have the Path of Trailblaze cancelled for good. Anyways he seemed poor, does he not have proper clothes? Or do the newer Aeons' fashion sense absolutely suck like us?"

"I have no idea... Oh and he glanced at me when I tanked one of his creatures' attack to shield a girl."

"First of all, you are a simp. Secondly, that seemed too much of a coincidence, like dude has his minion about to kill you and then bless you? I suspected he had his eyes on you before that happened." - Akivili said. "You can contact HooH if you have some more proof, I'm sure the cool balancing obsessive Aeon would protect you from stalkers. Anyways, what Path does he reside over?"

"Destruction."

"Seemed edgy enough, perfectly for his appearance. And let me guess, he's some sort of chaotic violent Aeon that roams the Cosmos for nothing but to pick fights with people, planets for no specific purpose?"

"Kinda... I think Aha fought him once."

"Really? Who won?"

"Not exactly was there a winner but... Aha did survive..."

"Huh... Well, Paths are not a joke, if it is really called as the Destruction, then that Nanook fella should have the best firepower amongst the Aeons... Oh well, bad luck since he went against Aha."

"Was Aha that strong?"

"Not really... But let's say he had some trump cards upto his sleeves that would give me a little bit of trouble as well."

"But would you lose?"

"Nah, I'd win. Anyways, 2 Aeons now, who is the third?"

"Oh yeah... And here is Yaoshi."

"9/10, Idrila was more beautiful, but hey, I would smash nonetheless."

"...I don't even know if-"

"Shush, my child, I did not stutter."
