Although she was still young, the depth of these questions already completely exceeded the highest standards of Azure Star in this era.
The scholars and professors of Azure Star found it difficult not only to answer these questions but even to understand them.
Without any surprise.
Without even needing to think, the Trailblazer in front of Little Herta casually broke down every single one of these problems that could have stumped Azure Star for decades.
To Hermes, these problems seemed less like profound difficulties and more like the simple "one plus one equals what" questions children learn in kindergarten.
"Interesting. Although I could solve these problems myself, it would take some time."
Little Herta's lips curled up slightly, and she said matter-of-factly, "Fine, since you can save me a lot of valuable time, I'll study with you for a while."
Although she said that, Little Herta was actually very happy deep down.
As a genius who could directly scorn the intelligence of every human on the entire planet the moment she was born.
If she hadn't confirmed that she was indeed her mother's child, she would have thought she wasn't even the same species as everyone else.
Now that she had someone whose intelligence was not beneath hers to talk to, Little Herta's mood became unusually cheerful.
Hermes couldn't help but laugh softly, seeing her demeanor which was exactly like The Herta in the future.
Then, while Little Herta wasn't paying attention, he smiled and ruffled her long hair, completely messing up the little girl's hairstyle.
"Hah! You bastard, do you have a problem with what I just said?"
Little Herta widened her eyes, staring disapprovingly at his action. Was she close with him?
Wait.
Instinctively, she felt that she was indeed very familiar with this Trailblazer?
Little Herta rapidly computed in her mind.
As geniuses, none of them were simple.
Siskhar, the 29th Member of the Genius Society, was able to accelerate the development of the entire Spider Civilization by several millennia in just 29 days.
Furthermore, in that short time, they created the Phase Spiritual Flame, which can shift phases, and established the Meta-Domain Space, which allows different life forms across the multiverse to communicate... Little Herta was still underage at this time and didn't seem as heaven-defying as Siskhar.
But this doesn't mean Herta was truly inferior to Siskhar; it was merely a difference in species.
Ultimately, she was also a genius equally famous as Siskhar.
Through one small detail, Little Herta was already close to uncovering the truth.
"No, no. Even if you don't acknowledge me as your teacher, I will still instruct you."
Hermes smilingly withdrew his hand and happily agreed.
Being able to give Herta a head-pat was already enough to pay the tuition fee, and then some.
Seeing the man's smiling expression, Little Herta silently suppressed the speculation that was almost ready to leave her lips, pushing it back into the deepest recesses of her mind.
As a true genius, that small amount of time was enough for her to calm down.
She knew very well that regardless of the reason, some things were best left unsaid.
"Very well, then, let's formally introduce ourselves."
Little Herta showed no unusual expression as she calmly walked up to Hermes, extended her fair little hand, and said, "My name is Herta. And you, Mr. Trailblazer from beyond the heavens?"
As expected of Herta!
Hermes praised in his heart; even without communication, they achieved flawless coordination.
"Hermes. I am Hermes a Trailblazer walking the Path of Trailblaze."
Hermes's lips curled up slightly. He also extended his hand and grasped Little Herta's hand... Although Hermes had not been on Azure Star for long, he was already the Deliverer known throughout the entire planet
He had stood up as a hero from beyond the heavens three times when Azure Star was plunged into crises of annihilation, saving it from disaster.
"What a troubled Azure Star."
Hermes remarked thus.
No wonder the records of future Herta's achievements showed her saving Azure Star 19 times.
It felt like Azure Star could rival the unlucky Xianzhou Luofu.
Afterward, Hermes naturally received the love and support of all Azure Star inhabitants, successfully reaching the top and becoming their leader amid the endorsement of countless people.
It is actually not uncommon in the Cosmic Galaxy for a Trailblazer to become a local leader by saving the world.
These forces are actually the potential strength of the Trailblaze Faction.
At this moment, Hermes gathered all the resources of Azure Star and brought Herta along to conduct research concerning the future of Azure Star.
Glancing at Hermes, who was organizing materials like Zoan, Logia, and Paramecia devil fruit data, as well as information on Divine Bodies, Herta grew bored and started building a sand sculpture.
However, unlike the crude sandcastles of ordinary children, the sand sculpture Little Herta casually built even possessed a unique world circulation structure specific to its sand sculpture form.
If Little Herta wished, this sand sculpture model could instantly transform into a rudimentary, miniature world.
This sand sculpture model, if thrown casually into the Cosmic Galaxy, would also be an extremely precious Curio.
"Hermes, are you done? My time is quite precious."
"Alright, alright. The initial data has been sorted. We now require the assistance of the great Ms. Herta."
Herta was slightly annoyed.
She actually disliked researching specific, targeted projects like this.
Instead, she preferred researching whatever she liked, whenever she pleased.
As a genius, Herta could reach realms unattainable by any mortal in any field, so long as she was willing to learn.
However, Hermes couldn't allow Herta to act recklessly.
For Herta to super-evolve, she couldn't mess around; instead, the goal was to make the past Little Herta and the future The Herta into specific states that were completely different yet mutually complementary.
Of course, this wasn't difficult.
Hermes had extensive experience "baiting" Herta; he knew exactly how to pique her interest.
"The overall blueprint is finally complete."
After the blueprint was built, Hermes and Herta simultaneously linked their minds to the Curio: Blueprint of the investiture of the gods.
Before long, the blueprint resembled a dazzling sea of stars. Mythological Conceptual Models, like meteors in the night sky, rained down within this world named [investiture of the gods].
The data streams emanating from the Conceptual Models were like brilliant flowing light, adorning the most magnificent scroll
Herta and Hermes stood side-by-side within this Curio Space, admiring the spectacular scenery that combined the aesthetic pure beauty of the structural models and the splendor of natural light.
"Hmph! Claiming to be a Trailblazer, aren't you just the most orthodox Destiny Walker of pure beauty?"
Only after a long while did Little Herta offer her faint assessment.
