Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Mysterious Boredom and Cure
A/N: Apologies for the longer break. I've been on overseas holiday with family and haven't had the time to write. Updates will continue to be irregular but will still come.
Amon left his avatars to forward the rest of the plans as he received the signal from Tingyun. She had sorted out all her business and all that was left was for him to fulfill her wish, to get even. Frankly Amon hated Nanook's pawns, sure he didn't like Nanook much but Nanook's destruction was necessary for life to thrive.
Life will always rise from the ashes and destruction is necessary. However, those under Nanook such as Phantylia, held the notions of the most perverted type of destruction.
The Astral Express crew soon arrived at Xianzhou as Amon gazed towards the Loufu ship. His gaze pierced through space itself as he stared at the false Tingyun. Thoughts swirled around in what ways to best tear her apart.
A door materialised as he stepped through and arrived on the Xianzhou. While for him it may have been an instant, but his gaze on the express had long shown him their growth. Stelle, who had gained the recognition and gaze of Qlipoth and March 7th... Perhaps her intelligence grew a bit?
That was something even the Lord of Mysteries could never be sure about.
Perhaps it was at this time, that Amon believed things to be boring with the only upcoming interesting agenda on the menu was the tearing apart of Phantylia. Amon chuckled and readjusted his monocle before heading out to tour the Xianzhou and it's delicacies. The berrypheasant skewers was something Tingyun had recommended him. Something that boggled him, a fruit from a bird that grows from the bird. Does that make it fruit or meat? He would leave the White Tower to figure that out.
That was when Amon realised he had no Strale... Amon sighed as he headed to the exchange office before exchanging a few credits to Xianzhou Strale.
It was more than enough for compulsive buying. Amon's eyes looked at the sky as his view expanded, a grin blew up on his face as the Astral Express crew was working while helping left and right. Here he was eating skewers and drinking milk tea. Truly this was what he gained power for, the ultimate leasure. No one can force you to do anything and you can do anything.
The one with the biggest fist wins in life.
It was at this moment that a surprise caught his eye.
[Parallel World's Chat Group]
[The Parallel Chat Group would like to extend it's invitation to the esteemed Lord of Mysteries]
[Upon joining a free extra reward will be given in the battle pass]
Amon grinned, finally something to spice up his life. His finger immediately pressed [Yes] as the ethereal screen widened to show the current chat group members.
[Red Devil Tsundere] [Rin Tohsaka]
[Lesser Intelligence Electro Archon] [Raiden Ei]
[Paramecium White Tuna] [Kiana Kaslana]
[Lord of Mysteries] [*^&%]
[Snek] [Doctor Mobius]
[Group Admin] [Luke]
The chat group automatically linked to his phone upon request as he pulled up the messages and noticed the blurred out and glitched name for him.
[This is to protect members from accidental thought pollution]
~~~~
[Red Devil Tsundere] [Hey! This is utterly unfair, how come the newcomer has a cool nickname and the rest of us get stuck with stupid modifiers]
[Paramecium White Tuna] [It must have been @Group Admin how come this newcomer gets better treatment?]
[Lesser Intelligence Electro Archon] [At least your modifier isn't an outright insult, Rin.]
[Group Admin] [Apologies, but I believe this newcomer is a big shot.]
[Snek] [It seems you are still peeved about it.]
[Paramecium White Tuna] [Doctor Mobius are you well?]
~~~~
Amon decided to type his message in.
~~~~
[Lord of Mysteries] [Hello, please call me Amon. I'm aware that it has been blocked off but it is for your own safety. I hope this group chat is entertaining.]
~~~~
With that he immediately called Herta, "Herta, how is my application with the Genius Society?" Amon suddenly remembered that he had secretly left an application with Herta hoping to collect a new achievement. After all, the paper and "discovery" of the spirit world had been accredited to him. Amon was well aware that Nous would not see him, but it would be different if it was Herta.
"I sent your application to the droidhead, whether he welcomes you or not is up to luck." Herta replied a bit tired on the other side. Amon grinned "No worries, I'm sure tin can will turn around."
Amon gazed into the cosmos and gave Nous a glare threatening unimaginable things if he were to turn down the application.
The very next hour, an update was made on the list of Genius Society Members, Genius Society Number 85: Amon
~~~~
[Lord of Mysteries] [Today I threatened the Aeon of Erudition into joining his Genius Society, you are all lesser intelligent beings under me.]
[Lesser Intelligence Electro Archon] [... If I was already lesser, than in your eyes what am I?]
[Red Devil Tsundere] [How arrogant you asshole, wait a minute... Huh? Threaten a god?!]
[Group Admin] [It seems that our newcomer is beyond our imagination status -1]
[Group Admin uploads "Honkai Star Rail" & "Lord of the Mysteries"]
[Snek] [What would it take for you to allow me to study your body?]
[Amon] [You should be more concerned about the consequences of knowing.]
[Snek] [Upon further reading and review, I believe I do not wish to know.]
~~~~
Amon checked the previous chats and realised that Luke the Group Admin had sent over the plots and story lines of Honkai Star Rail and now read up on Lord of the Mysteries. Oh well not his problem anymore. He muted the notifications as the chat group immediately dug into reading the 1000 or something more chapters.
His phone rang again as Herta sent over a congratulations while asking about collaborating in using the spirit world to refine the simulated universe. Amon thought about it before agreeing, in an instant he was dragged into another group chat.
[Simulated Universe Collab]
[Stephen] [Greetings Amon]
[Ruan Mei] [So this is the outer god you mentioned Herta?]
[Herta] [Snitches get stitches]
[Screwllum] [It seems that our friends are bit excited. It's good to have you collaborating on the simulated universe]
[Screwllum] [Perhaps would you be interested in my upcoming project, divergent universe, with Doctor Veritas Ratio from the Intelligensia Guild?]
[Amon] [Perhaps, I'll see depending on my shifting schedule.]
~~~~
Amon sighed as he fiddled with his phone as he heard Tingyun's prayer as a door materialised with a figure stepping out. "Welcome back home Tingyun." Amon smiled on the side. However, he was terribly bored. Bored out of his mind.
It would take a while longer for the Astral Express to dig to the truth regarding Phantylia.
So... Amon could only wait-
[Group Chat Mission]
[Help in the suppression of the Herrscher of Void in the previous era]
[Coordinate Beacon Located: @Snek]
A wide cheshire grin bloomed as his finger loomed over the phone.
