"Can this thing really destroy a world?" La Signora murmured, looking at the terrifying muzzles of the Star Destroyer.
"Of course it can. I've thoroughly checked. If the main cannon of this Star Destroyer is fired at full power, let alone a normal planet, even a star with a diameter of 1 million kilometers could be destroyed," Asta said with a smile.
However, soon, a look of disappointment appeared on her face. "It's just a shame, because this Star Destroyer is too powerful. Under normal circumstances, there's no opportunity for it to be used. If only a Doomsday Beast or something would show up... Maybe I could even try firing a shot," Asta mused.
Takagi, standing nearby, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this. Good heavens, she's actually talking about the Doomsday Beast here? When Silver Wolf and Kafka come to encourage the Trailblazer, a Doomsday Beast really will appear.
"A warship far surpassing my imagination. I wonder if we will have the opportunity to visit that warship and take a look," The Doctor's face showed obvious curiosity after hearing Asta's introduction.
"Want to visit? It's not impossible; after all, Takagi sold it to me. And Takagi is an extremely distinguished guest of Ms. Herta. Letting you go up to the Star Destroyer to take a look is not impossible. Oh, by the way, if you want to learn knowledge in a certain area at the Space Station, I can also arrange for the researchers here to help you. Anyway, we already helped those people from Belobog last time," Asta said.
(Azar: What?! They can actually proactively offer knowledge?!)
(Kaveh: Did I hear that right?)
(Alice: This is truly incredible. The personnel at the Space Station are involved in knowledge at the level of Star Destroyers and Space Stations. If this knowledge is learned by people in Teyvat... I dare not imagine what the future will become.)
(Alhaitham: Is it really that easy?)
The Doctor: "Really? That would be truly grateful..."
Takagi: "Wait!"
Asta: "What's wrong, Lord Takagi?"
Takagi smiled at The Doctor and looked at Asta, saying, "This time, there's no need to specially arrange for the Space Station's researchers to provide knowledge to the passengers I've brought. Yarilo-VI, which belongs to Belobog, is now considered my planet. Providing them with some convenience is also for my own sake. As for the passengers I've brought this time, they are merely my passengers. You don't need to specially share the knowledge and technology of the researchers in the Space Station with them. Unless they can truly rely on their eloquence to make the Space Station personnel share knowledge, then so be it."
Asta nodded with interest. "So that's how it is."
As she finished speaking, The Doctor clearly showed a disappointed expression.
Lisa: "Takagi has already helped us a lot by bringing us here. The rest should be up to us to strive for."
Cloud Retainer: "That is how it should be."
Nahida also nodded. She was already hesitant about learning the knowledge in the Space Station. Takagi's suggestion had no downside for her. And La Signora, who wanted to embark on a Path through combat, also had little interest in learning knowledge.
"Not only knowledge, but their safety issues—Asta, you don't need to be responsible for them either. Even if someone truly dies in this Space Station, it doesn't matter. I will naturally look after those I expect to return unharmed. In addition, if someone intends to use some means to forcibly obtain certain knowledge from the researchers, you can also completely let Arlan take action," Takagi said.
"So that's it, Lord Takagi; you are merely bringing them here to experience the outside world. You don't necessarily have the idea of protecting them. I understand; I will inform the researchers and security personnel later," Asta said with a smile.
Takagi nodded slightly and turned to look at the five passengers he had brought. "You heard what I said earlier, right? If you want to gain knowledge, you have to rely on yourselves. Theoretically, I won't stop you. But you also have to be sensible. If you are unfriendly to the researchers here, I won't be responsible for your safety. In this place, even ordinary researchers might have research devices that you cannot resist," Takagi said.
Hearing Takagi's warning words, the passengers, including The Doctor, had no choice but to nod. Knowing that he was only one of the "slices," The Doctor didn't dare to gamble that after being destroyed by Takagi for doing something forbidden, Takagi would go after other slices.
(Alhaitham: As expected, it's not that easy to learn knowledge in the Space Station.)
(Zhongli: That is how it should be! To obtain knowledge of this level, one naturally needs to pay an equivalent price. The contract Takagi made with the five passengers was only to collect a certain amount of Mora and then bring them to this Herta Space Station. As for the knowledge of the Herta Space Station, it is not within the scope of the contract.)
(Kaveh: Not only knowledge, but this time even safety needs to be worried about on our own.)
(Ningguang: Before the contract, Takagi mentioned that he would not be responsible for security. Those who still want to go to the Universe naturally have to worry about their own safety.)
(Tartaglia: Miss Ningguang, aren't you worried about the safety of the Liyue Adeptus?)
(Ningguang: Naturally, I won't worry. I think Cloud Retainer will abide by Takagi's rules. As long as the rules are followed, there will naturally be no opportunity to encounter danger.)
(Keqing: That's right! On the contrary, you Fatui need to worry about the safety of The Doctor and La Signora; they are not honest people.)
(Tartaglia: Although I want to argue, I feel like I can't find anything to say.)
"Speaking of which, where is Herta? Is she in the Herta Space Station right now? I plan to take these five passengers to see the Simulated Universe developed by Herta and other geniuses," Takagi asked Asta.
"Ms. Herta just left for something. However, she left an AI robot in her office before. She said that as long as Lord Takagi goes there, he can undergo tests related to the Simulated Universe through the AI robot," Asta said.
Takagi: "With such cutting-edge technology, isn't she afraid I'll break it?"
Asta: "Ms. Herta trusts Lord Takagi very much, and also hopes that this will make you test more."
Takagi: "Okay, after exploring this Space Station, let's try the Simulated Universe."
Asta: "Then I will lead you to see this Space Station."
Takagi: "You are a Space Station commander; do you have time to show us around?"
Asta: "If it's Lord Takagi, I have time anytime." Saying that, Asta gave Takagi a big smile.
Just kidding—Herta, Screwllum, Ruan Mei, and other geniuses of the Genius Society all believed that Takagi might be an Aeon. With such a being visiting the Herta Space Station, Asta had to accompany him properly. She herself was unwilling to neglect a being like Takagi.
"Then I will trouble Ms. Asta," Takagi smiled.
"It's okay, please follow me. We will go over there and take the space elevator to the reception station." Asta politely extended her hand, and after Takagi stepped forward, Asta quickly followed.
Asta: "Oh, by the way, Lord Takagi, there is something I would like to ask for your instructions on."
Takagi: "There's no need to be so reserved, Asta, just say whatever it is."
Asta nodded and said, "I have a friend named Himeko, and she and her companions want to meet you. Oh, by the way, she is the Navigator of the Astral Express. I was thinking, you might also want to meet her, right?"
The Doctor: "Someone else's Astral Express?"
Lisa: "So, we can meet the Navigators of other Astral Expresses?"
"Provided that Lord Takagi agrees," Asta smiled and looked at Takagi.
"Naturally, there's no problem. Navigator Himeko and the passengers on her Astral Express... I would also be very happy to meet them at this Herta Space Station," Takagi said with a smile.
"Great, I will send a message to Himeko and the others. Perhaps it won't be long before they can arrive at this Herta Space Station." Asta happily took out her phone and found Himeko's number.
"Speaking of which, Lord Takagi can make the Astral Express. Will the Astral Express of that lady named Himeko also be made by Lord Takagi?" La Signora suddenly spoke, asking Takagi curiously.
"Huh? What did you say? Lord Takagi can build the Astral Express?" Miss Asta was messaging Himeko. Upon hearing this, she immediately looked at The Doctor with a shocked expression.
"Did I say something I shouldn't have? If so, I apologize," La Signora said to Takagi with a look of apology.
"No matter, it's just a small thing," Takagi casually waved his hand at La Signora, looked at Miss Asta beside him, and said, "Just a small ability, no need to pay too much attention, Miss Asta..."
Miss Asta twitched the corner of her mouth and said sheepishly, "So, Lord Takagi can really build the Astral Express, right? This is not a small ability."
In response, Takagi just smiled politely and didn't say much.
Herta Space Station is a rather special place. The level of technology here is extremely high; taking out any single item could greatly change the current situation in Teyvat. If some people with ulterior motives were to obtain dangerous technology from here, it might bring great harm to Teyvat. Takagi did not want Teyvat to explode for no reason. In that case, he would lose his passengers.
For this reason, Takagi did not plan to leave an Astral Express that could travel between Herta Space Station and Teyvat. Naturally, Takagi felt there was not much need to explain to Miss Asta that he could build the train. However, his unwillingness to say more did not mean Miss Asta wouldn't think more. She was seen quickly pressing buttons with her fingers. Soon, a message saying "Takagi might have the ability to create the Astral Express" was sent to Himeko.
......
Cosmic Space. On Himeko's Astral Express.
"He can actually do such a thing!" Himeko looked at her phone and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"What's wrong, Himeko? What happened?" Welt Yang looked over curiously.
"Miss Asta sent a message; it's about Takagi," Himeko looked up and said with sparkling eyes.
Hearing that it was about Takagi, Pom-Pom, Dan Heng, and March 7th immediately gathered around.
"What, what, is there news about that amazing man again? Himeko, has he arrived at Herta Space Station again?" March 7th asked curiously.
"Yes! He has already landed on the Space Station with his passengers. He also agreed to meet with us," Himeko nodded and said.
"That's great, now we can find out what kind of man he is, the one Herta recognizes as an Emanator of Trailblaze," March 7th said happily.
"Himeko, you shouldn't be surprised just because of this, right?" Welt Yang pushed up his glasses and asked.
"As expected of you, Welt. I am indeed not surprised because of this. It's because Miss Asta told me that Takagi seems to have the power to create the Astral Express," Himeko said.
"Wh... what?! That man can create the Astral Express?" Pom-Pom widened its eyes and said in disbelief.
"The Astral Express is the work of the Trailblaze Aeon Akivili. If he can really build the Astral Express, his authority in Trailblaze is too powerful. Could it be that he is really not just an Emanator of Trailblaze, but the Aeon of Trailblaze?" Dan Heng rested his hand on his chin and murmured.
"I... I just feel like he's getting more and more mysterious," March 7th said weakly.
Welt Yang: "It seems we have another reason to see him, right Himeko."
"Yes!" Himeko looked out the window, the corners of her mouth uncontrollably rising. "Everyone, let's vote. How about we set the next destination as Herta Space Station?"
As soon as she finished speaking, not a single person among March 7th, Dan Heng, and Welt Yang objected. Several people cast their votes in favor.
"Then it's decided. Next stop, Herta Space Station," Himeko smiled and made the decision.
At the same time. Somewhere in the vast Universe. A small spaceship was rapidly traveling along the star rail of the cosmos.
"Silver Wolf, are you still playing games? We need to depart now, you know." A beautiful woman with purple-red hair, wearing a black cape-style shawl jacket on her upper body and purple stockings and tight shorts on her lower body, looked at her companion beside her and said gently.
"Is it that time already, Kafka? Ah, time to work again." The petite girl with silver-gray hair stretched and sighed.
"Let's play after we finish the work. You know, this mission is very important to us. It's related to His birth," Kafka smiled.
"I know, I know. We're going to Herta Space Station, right? I've already set it up, now we just need to fly straight there," Silver Wolf quickly operated the control panel buttons and said casually.
"That's good." Kafka's mouth curved up as she looked at the starry sky ahead. "It's finally time... how much will you remember me after you're born?"
