NOVEL NEXT Chapter 150: MEETING BLUESTAR
Aaron shared the meal with his family, savoring the quality time, laughter mingling with heartfelt conversations, before he finally departed. A lot more tasks awaited him, the weight of his empire pressing on.
[It is time to meet the anomaly, right?]
"Yeah. Let us go pay Blue Star a visit," Aaron nodded, bending space itself until he appeared within the core of Blue Star, the familiar hum of planetary energy surrounding him.
"Aaron. I was beginning to wonder when you would come for me," a lady said, standing close to the sanctuary core with a serene smile, her form ethereal yet grounded.
"Blue Star," Aaron smiled back, his voice carrying a mix of anticipation and curiosity.

"Father. Do not tell me you really wish to join hands with them to oppose Aaron," Liam1 Frost asked his father, the clan head of the Frost clan, his voice laced with disbelief and concern.
"I am not on anyone's side. I am neutral. I am simply watching who has the upper hand here," Jay, the Frost clan master, said quietly, his eyes distant as he contemplated the shifting powers.
"The upper hand? Someone who literally resurrected us all from the dead, who created this mysterious world we know nothing of, and you are considering which side you are on?" Liam asked, unable to fathom his father's thought process, his frustration evident.
"Liam is right, Father. You cannot stand against my husband. Even I will not be able to save you from his wrath when the time comes," Alice interjected, paying her respects to her father with a nod.
"Alice. I was beginning to wonder when you would pay this old man a visit," Jay said, motioning for his daughter to sit with them, eager to learn more about Aaron, who now seemed exceedingly mysterious to him.
"What can you tell me about Aaron? And since when did he become your husband? Do not tell me you married him without your own father in the picture," Jay teased, causing Alice to blush slightly, her cheeks tinting with warmth.
"We are not exactly married yet. As for how strong he is, you all will be dead when he decides he wants you dead," Alice explained, her tone matter-of-fact, underscoring the gravity of Aaron's power.
"You need to convince as many as you can to not go through with this rebellion as soon as possible before the time limit ends. I doubt it will be a happy ending for the rebels," Alice advised her father once more, her eyes pleading for reason.
"And also. It would not be bad to visit your teacher, brother," Alice smiled, her words carrying a hint of mystery.
"By teacher you mean?" Jay asked, his curiosity piqued.
"Yes. You guys are not the only ones who get to cheat death," Alice replied. She remained with her father to persuade him from joining the rebellion against Aaron, her arguments weaving logic and emotion to sway his neutral stance.

"So how do you feel having a body of your own?" Aaron asked, his eyes scanning her new form with genuine interest.
"Quite an interesting feeling. To be honest, I do not think I can ever get enough of it," Blue Star admitted, flexing her fingers as if testing the sensation of movement, her voice resonant with wonder.
"So what changed? Can you still transform to your large planet size?" Aaron asked, recalling Bask's ability to morph between his human like form and basilisk form, his mind drawing parallels.
"I can. Morphing into a planet though is a bit of a stretch," Blue Star explained, her expression thoughtful as she considered the limits of her transformation in terms of space she will occupy.

Stamina: ★★★

Luck: ★

Talent: God Rank: Resonance
The talents of every human who ever lived upon your body as a world now converge within you, harmonizing into a single existence.
"What sort of overpowered talent do you have?" Aaron asked, surprise etched on his face, his golden eyes widening as he processed the implications.
"So you are telling me you have the talent of every human that was born within you when you were a planet? I reckon you have billions of talents then," Aaron smiled, doing the rough math in his head, the sheer scale staggering him.
"Yup. Although they have to be alive. I lose the talent of those that died. Although it will not be a problem considering they are all immortals now," Blue Star explained, her voice calm but carrying a hint of satisfaction at her newfound power.
"Then what about the limit attached to your rank? What does that mean?" Aaron asked, curiosity piqued.
[Her increase in strength is tied to those from Blue Star. The strongest indigenes of Blue Star that has both parents from the planet as well as they were born within it is Rain and Cain. She cannot surpass the rank of the highest ranked native,] the system explained.
"I see," Aaron muttered, grasping the concept as he relayed it to Blue Star, the mechanics clicking into place in his mind.
After a bit of conversation, Aaron decided to wrap things up, shifting his focus to the pressing tasks ahead. "Brilliant. Now let us get going. I have people to introduce you to, plus the time I gave every citizen to pick a stand is almost up," Aaron said, warping space again until he arrived at his palace.
He introduced Blue Star to Rose and his close circle, the encounters filled with awe and questions as they absorbed her unique existence. As for Alice, she was still with her parents, her meeting with Blue Star postponed until later, the anticipation adding a layer of intrigue to their growing family dynamic.
After settling everything down, Aaron projected himself once more to the sky, the grace period he had given for everyone to make up their mind finally expired, his presence a harbinger of the reckoning to come.
