To say the group of four were stunned by the answer they were just given would be... Quite the understatement. Dang Heng was more skeptical by such a claim made by the man in front of them. Caelus and Arlan had no clue what to say here, though they were slowly finding it a bit hard to believe. Asta on the other hand, practically believed this man could be a deity of sorts, but not one of such a status. Then again, none of them have heard of such a classification for such a god. "A.. Uhm, a... What, now?" The head researcher finally said after what felt like moments. 

"A Creator God? The name is pretty self explanatory" Ark seemed to ask, raising a brow in curiosity. He figured this universe would have been created by a god like himself, but hearing the confusion, he guessed that the universe was created by natural means instead of artificial. That, and this was probably a byproduct of him arriving. He let a sigh escape him, rubbing his temple, already feeling a headache coming on from the amount of questions swirling in his head. "Never mind. Look, Asta was it? I just need answers as to where I am, any essential information on this universe, and whatever those things I fought earlier were" 

"O-Of course! Uuuhhh.. I feel as though it would be a little more appropriate if I allowed you to see all the relevant data we have on hand for such things. As I feel like my words wouldn't be enough, and I may end up leaving some details out.." She said with a nervous smile before she turned to the other three. "Arlan, it would be best for you to get some rest after fighting off the legion for so long. Caelus, Dang Heng, You two should go and check on March and Himeko. They would be happy to see you both once they wake up. I'll bring Mr. Ark with me so I can bring him up to speed"

Ark was about to tell her she didn't need to be so formal, till he grew a rather shocked expression at the mention of Himeko. A few memories flashing through his mind till he set them aside as he honed in various energy signatures all throughout the space station, and to the nearby planet. 'Himeko? That doesn't make any sense, since this doesn't seem to be a Honkai sub-verse, at least not the typical one. Besides, I don't sense the Honkai anywhere aside from myself and...' His thoughts were cut short as he felt two familiar signatures aboard the station, right next to each other. 'Those must be two of my cores that split off from me, and by the looks of it..' "Slight change of plans, I'll be heading these two before I decide to delve into research. I may know what happened to your friends"

The sudden change in destination had stunned them a little, though with how insistent he sounded, Asta figured that if he knew something, then he would be the best person to help out. "Sure thing, I'll come find you after I sort a few things out then" He gave a nod to the head researcher, gesturing for the two boys to lead the way, to which they did, walking out of the hanger as Asta watched them go. 

"You sure it's wise to let that man roam freely?" A voice caught Asta's attention as she looked over towards the Astral Express, seeing Welt walking up beside her with a concerned, and somber expression on his face. "He mentioned something concerning during his fight against the Doomsday Beast... I'm worried for the future if what he said was true..."

"I can understand how you feel Welt but, he went out of his way to way to help us. That, and he seemed concerned with our friends safety and is even going to help them" Asta reasoned with him, though that didn't make him any less worried for if the supposed Creator God had ulterior motives. "Jeez mister grumpy pants, if your that worried then go with them. I'm sure Pom-Pom will be fine on their own"

The older man looked down at the head researcher, considering her words for a moment before he sighed, complying with her words as he followed behind the three that had left earlier. Asta stood there as her expression fell to one of worry, grabbing the tablet attached to her hip, pulling up the recorded readings that Ark gave off during the previous fight, comparing it to whatever data that had on the other Aeon's. "The more I look at it, the more I start to believe he truly is a god..." She placed the tablet against her hip before heading to get important tasks done. She'll figure this all out sooner or later.
