Glimpses of the Future

If I Can Dream

This chapter is written before 2.3 is even released so whatever happens after the new quest released in 2.2...

It does not change what happens to Sunday in my timeline.

Everyone in the theater was uncomfortably quiet as they all stared at Kiran with a newfound sense of fear now that they know what Kiran truly is - The Emanator of HooH the Equilibrium and Terminus the Finality, two ancient Aeons that presided over contrasting paths and opposing ideals but they lended their powers to one of the Nameless of the Astral Express.

"H-How is that possible...?"Dan Heng asked, there was no records of an Emanator ever being blessed by two Aeons and it was entirely impossible in nature that two Aeons can bestow their powers on a single man.

"Wait, let me get this straight... So... The Aeons of Equilibrium and Finality made you their Emanator for how long?"Welt asked, trying to get a better understanding of this new information.

"Five years,"Kiran said with a small shrug as if it was normal to him, surprising everyone with how casual he is being an Emanator of two Aeons," HooH and Terminus came to me in my sleep when I first experienced my fist warp jump when we first boarded the Astral Express. Fell asleep the moment that happened and found myself in a higher plane of existence. HooH and Terminus then showed up and said they'd make me their Emanator. I didn't know what to do at the time, so I merely accepted the offer."

Surprise was written on everyone's faces as they all paid attention to Kiran's story of how he became an Emanator while some were a bit disappointed that they assumed that Kiran went through some sort of trial in order to become an Emanator, but he simply got the role by simply falling asleep?

"I also thought they were going to test me to see if I have what it takes to be their enforcer, but they knew that I was good enough to shoulder the burden."

Himeko crossed her arms with an interested look, replacing the look of disappointment she had earlier, albeit it could still be heard on her voice," Why didn't you tell us? We would have understood why you were an Emanator."

"Himeko... I have a lot to shoulder since I became their enforcer. HooH and Terminus gave me their power and in return, I would enforce an ideal balance across the cosmos and eliminate any threat as Terminus sees fit, but in the end, I get to make the call."

"So you're judge, jury and executioner."Aether said, nodding in understanding at what Kiran's burden is. Acheron also looked on in interest at her fellow Emanator.

"Basically so."Kiran said shrugging, once again surprising the audience with how casual he is about the whole ordeal. Yūrei tilted his hat.

"Anything else we should know about?"

"Oh yeah, HooH and Terminus also granted me every last piece of information and knowledge in the universe."Kiran said with a small nod, catching the attention of multiple parties - the Xianzhou Luofu, the Stellaron Hunters, the IPC, the Genius Society and many more factions," And they're the mind-shattering sort of information: the birth of the universe, the end of the universe, the rebirth of the universe, the past, the present, the future of the universe, why we exist, what is the meaning behind life and so much more that I even lost track cause they went on for hours without end."

Now everyone was looking at each other, wondering what to make of this information. Kiran is apparently a walking encyclopedia of the past, present and future of the universe and a gold mine for information and a valuable asset in the eyes of an organization like the IPC and the Stellaron Hunters.

Herta and Ruan Mei pulled out a pen and a notepad and was about to approach Kiran but was held back by Screwllum, knowing that the puppet and the biologist would do everything in their power to extract any information on Kiran and use it for their own research.
