"She called him Aster. Do you know him?" Yelen was surprised by Eren''s reaction. If he recognised that person with just the name, it could only mean that he was quite significant.


    "What did he look like?" Eren asked further just to confirm his suspicions. If it was the same Aster that he was thinking about, then it did appear like a blessing in disguise.


    At the time he killed Aster, he wasn''t in the right frame of mind. He also didn''t know how to use his Devouring abilities, which always made him regret the missed opportunity.


    Although Aster''s control over Space wasn''t absolutely perfect, his abilities did allow him to manipte it to some extent. If he could get his abilities, then he wouldn''t have to rely on Yelen to create portals.


    For a moment, excitement shed in Eren''s eyes. Unfortunately, the excitementsted only for a short time as he remembered his body''s condition.


    Every time he went through a portal, it was a torture for his body and mind. Was this ability really as useful for him as he initially thought it to be?


    There was a small possibility that the Bloodline could help him bear the burden of spatial travel, but the possibility was not high, especially since it wasn''t a problem with just his body but also his main bloodline.


    If things went awry, he might just get a bloodline which could make things worse for him. If his Main Bloodline was in conflict with the element of space for some reason, then what if he received the Bloodline that allowed spatial maniption?


    The two Bloodlines could very well be like fire and water, destroying his body from the inside.


    Although the scenario was very extreme because his main Bloodline was definitely stronger than the Spatial Maniption Bloodline of Aster, it was still risky.


    "What a hassle..." Eren rubbed his forehead, feeling frustrated.


    It felt as if someone had ced the sweetest delicacy in front of a diabetes patient. On one side was the desire to taste this delicacy and on the other side was the concern for his health.


    ''Where are the choices from the system when I need them? If they came, I could have decided based on the reward.''


    After a brief period of silence, he stopped thinking about it. For now, it wasn''t the time to be distracted with it. He was still in the enemy base where a small misstep could screw him over.


    "You saw the Ghost Queen. How strong was she?" Eren asked Yelen, curious about the person he might have to face.


    As Axxel died right away, he couldn''t ask him this question which left Eren in the dark. Only Liyone had told him a little bit about the Ghost Queen but that information was also too vague.


    "I haven''t seen her fight. However, I do feel that she can be quite dangerous," Yelen answered. "She is especially cunning, so you will have to be extremely careful around her."


    "That''s quite a high valuation from someone like you," Eren replied.


    Along the way, Eren went through a few portals, against his wishes. As he had no other choice but to take these portals to reach the woman''sb, he could only swallow hard and step inside.


    After he stepped out of thest portal, Yelen noticed that his nose had started bleeding again. The only sliver of light was that he didn''t faint like he had in the Pce of the Great Demon Sect.


    Along the way, Eren kept chugging on the healing pills even though they were mostly useless in treating this phenomenon. Still, he needed something to distract himself and these pills became just that.


    "Is this the ce?" Eren, with slightly blurry vision, looking at the metallic door.


    In the entire hallway, there was only one door. Which meant this entire ce belonged to a single person, the Ghost Queen. It was even bigger than the offices of the two Professors.


    "That is right. Let me check inside..."


    Yelen stepped through the door, observing the scene inside.


    Inside theb, the first thing she observed were Eren''s two Disciples who were still inside the cage. Fortunately, it appeared that they hadn''t even been touched yet. Felona was also standing next to the cage.


    While the two girls were untouched, the same couldn''t be said about Ancestral Elder Yang and his subordinates.


    Their bodies weren''t in the open anymore. Their bodies were floating inside the liquid containers that were connected to the main container in which Aster''s body was floating.


    None of them had any clothes on their bodies. Through the naked eyes, it could be seen that their life essence was being sucked by the container, transferred to the container of Aster.


    The process of healing the finest specimen in theb had already begun.


    Ancestral Elder Yang couldn''t even wake up, let alone resist being treated like this. He was in a vegetative state, being used as nothing more than a material.


    All his life, he had treated others as pawns, only to be one in the end.


    "She has already started." Yelen came out of theb, informing Eren.


    "What about Yu Lin and Zia?" Eren asked, standing with his back supported by the hall, waiting for his world to stop spinning.


    "They seem to be fine," Yelen answered before exining theplete situation inside.


    "That is good. In that case, shall we meet our new friend?"


    Although still not perfectly fine, Eren was much better than he had been when he stepped out of the portal for the first time. His nose had also stopped bleeding, only leaving some dizziness.


    He took a deep breath before properly arranging his clothes, standing in arrogance like Processor Axxel used to do.


    He stepped forward and knocked on the metallic door.


    "Hmm? Who could be disturbing me at a time like this?" The Ghost Queen was immersed in her experiment, observing the changes in Aster''s body with glee, when she heard the knocks.
