When Herta saw an extra face appear in the mirror, she imdiately turned to look beside her, but saw nothing.
Asta had gone back to work long ago, but Lucian had just been here a mont ago.
Clearly, it must have been Lucian's bizarre teleportation ability—but was it really possible to reach through a network like this?
If so, that was beyond amazing!
From now on, if anyone acted like an internet troll, she would have Lucian reach over and beat them up.
Herta reeled in her surprise, then looked back at the video call, seeing that Lucian was indeed standing behind Screwllum, reaching out to push him.
In the blink of an eye, the scene on the other side of the video call changed into the space station.
Now, Screwllum was standing in front of Herta, video-calling her face-to-face.
"Herta...?"
Screwllum muttered, feeling stunned.
He was clearly on a planet seven million light-years away from Herta Space Station, experinting—so how could he appear at the space station in just 0.74 seconds?
He seed to rember soone pushing him just now...
Screwllum turned to look behind him, just in ti to see Lucian suddenly appear on the sofa nearby.
Lucian looked Screwllum over as well, appreciating his elegant appearance.
He had to admit, paired with his humble and polite words and manner, Screwllum was elegance itself!
As for how Screwllum got teleported here...
Just as Herta had guessed, Lucian had locked onto Screwllum's location through the video call network and was able to use Absolute Hit to teleport instantly.
"Question: Who is this gentleman?" Screwllum turned to Herta and asked politely. "Is the spatial transference just now related to him?"
"He's Lucian, a friend I made just recently." Herta answered casually. "He has a strange teleportation ability—for example, sending you here to my space station takes him only a second."
"Conclusion: I am glad you have made a new friend, Herta." Screwllum nodded, then looked at Lucian again, his face expressionless—if you could even call it an expression. "Pleased to et you, Mr. Lucian. I hope we can get to know each other in the future."
Even though there was no expression on his face, his tone was steady and humble.
"Oh? And how pleased are you?" Lucian smiled faintly and replied with a question.
Screwllum paused for a second before answering.
"Judging by the teleportation just now, Mr. Lucian is definitely a very unique individual, making interested in you. Conclusion: I am as pleased as I would be to save the world."
Upon hearing this, Lucian couldn't help but chuckle.
He had to admit, it was a pleasure to hear Screwllum speak.
What did it an to have high emotional intelligence?
Screwllum was the answer.
"Hey, enough with the small talk." Herta interrupted the two, dragging Lucian over to her mirror. "Hurry and bring Ruan i over as well."
Right after saying this, Herta imdiately video-called Ruan i.
As soon as the call connected, Ruan i saw Herta sitting close to an unknown man, their relationship seemingly close.
[Is that the one you nti—]
Before Ruan i could finish her sentence, the man in the video disappeared—and in that instant, she sensed soone behind her.
As soon as Ruan i turned around, she felt soone push her, and then the scenery before her eyes instantly changed to the space station.
"Herta...?"
For once, a surprised, confused look appeared on Ruan i's usually calm and flat face.
"Surprised? Didn't see that coming, did you?"
Seeing this rare change in Ruan i's usually flat expression, Herta gave a small, satisfied smile.
"..."
As Ruan i was still processing what had just happened, Lucian had already returned to everyone's sight.
Once again, he vanished and reappeared so suddenly, crossing seven million light-years in the blink of an eye.
Screwllum was deeply curious and wanted to have an in-depth conversation with Lucian about his teleportation ability, but since it was their first eting, he held back from showing too much eagerness.
Ruan i, on the other hand, quickly composed herself and fixed her beautiful yet apathetic gaze on Lucian.
In the next mont, without saying a word, Ruan i stepped forward, reaching out and pointing her fingers toward Lucian's neck, but—
*Pa!*
Under Ruan i's calm eyes, Lucian instantly caught her wrist with his left hand—but sadly, since she was wearing gloves, he could only feel a faint warmth from her delicate hand.
"Don't be nervous. I an no harm." Ruan i said softly, her calm eyes t Lucian's. "It's just part of my work habits. I can open my senses through touch, letting the details of life flow into my mind—helping understand your biological structure."
"Alright, first ti's free."
Lucian smiled as he released Ruan i's hand, allowing her fingertips to glide along his neck.
If he had to describe the sensation, it honestly felt pretty nice—though if she hadn't been wearing gloves, it probably would've felt even better.
A few seconds later, Ruan i pulled back her hand, her expression subtly tinged with surprise.
"A strong power of Abundance... in a human body... I heard you can resurrect those long dead—can you show ?"
Ruan i's voice was extrely gentle and strangely calm, but anyone could hear the note of request in it.
anwhile, while Ruan i was standing right in front of him, Lucian quickly looked her over from head to toe, getting a good look at her without anyone noticing.
No doubt about it, she was the epito of an Eastern beauty.
Fair skin, a lovely figure, C-cup—he could even catch a faint scent of fragrant flowers from her body.
Needless to say, Ruan i was truly a feast for the eyes, ears, and nose.
"What do I get out of it?" Lucian asked calmly, the corner of his lips lifting slightly.
"Mm, an equal exchange is only fair..." Ruan i's expression was as calm as ever, but this ti she actually gave a small smile. "How about a favor? As long as it's within my ability, I'll help you unconditionally."
"Just so you know, her favors aren't easy to get—even I can't get them easily." Herta egged from the side.
"...Alright, deal." Lucian pretended to hesitate for a mont before nodding in agreent.
Ruan i's favor wasn't much use for now, but who knew about the future?
All he had to do was show off the effect of Godly Bandage, and he could earn a potential powerhouse's favor.
It was undoubtedly a huge win.
"You're one of the few who can get my na right. I like people like that. No wonder Herta beca friends with you."
Ruan i gave another small smile, and as she spoke, her soft, pink lips were so alluring, they made people want to take a bite.
"Yeah, yeah, enough with the chit-chat." Herta impatiently interrupted. "Hurry up and start already. I want to see your resurrection ability for myself."
"Request: I would like to observe the process. I promise not to interfere." Screwllum, who had stayed silent for a while, imdiately chid in.
"Go ahead. I'm not that easy to distract." Lucian shrugged, then turned to Ruan i. "What do you want to resurrect, though?"
Hearing this, Ruan i imdiately took out a pitch-black object, like the root of a broken worm, then thought for a mont before putting it away and replacing it with a bone fragnt instead.
"Here—this is a piece of an ancient beast's remains. I tried to extract its genes and clone it, but I failed. Give it a try."
Ruan i handed the bone fragnt to Lucian, then took out a recorder, preparing to docunt the process.
Screwllum pressed a button on his head, also starting to record.
Herta also ordered her mirrors to record the process.
"I don't think you'll get much out of your recordings, since what I'm about to do is more like magic." Lucian said with a smile, then created a white bandage with Godly Bandage and wrapped it around the bone fragnt.
Seeing this, the three geniuses had no idea what he was doing.
A mont later, to the three's surprise, the bone fragnt wrapped in the bandage began to transform and expand!
In just a few seconds, it grew to ten ters tall!
Luckily, the laboratory's ceiling was high enough and didn't get smashed.
*Whoosh!*
In the next mont, as the bandage unraveled, a humanoid beast—looking just like Alien Baltan from the Ultraman series—appeared in front of everyone.
It looked around as if wondering where it was, its pincers opening and closing without aggression, rely watching the four 'strangers' warily.
Seeing the beast, Ruan i's eyes suddenly lit up.
It was the lifeform she had failed to clone after countless tries, yet it was resurrected so perfectly by Lucian with nothing but a bone fragnt.
Ruan i walked to the beast's foot, probing its life structure with her fingers, and was imdiately stunned.
"Hmm... this isn't genetic cloning but true resurrection..." Ruan i murmured to herself. "My mark is even still on that bone fragnt..."
Ruan i fell silent for a mont, then glanced at Lucian, who was casually answering Herta's and Screwllum's questions.
'He must be the stepping stone that can help advance even further... I want him...'
As this thought crossed her mind, Ruan i approached Lucian, leaned close to his ear, and then whispered sothing.
"Can you revive an Emanator of Propagation?"
