Chapter 44

**The Temple of Knowledge** (知識の宮殿 *Chishiki no Kyūden*) is the 44th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Edens Zero.

The crew decides to visit Mildian to meet the legendary fortuneteller in order to find out where Valkyrie is.

## Summary

Xiaomei asks the audience if they enjoyed the Digitalis arc and had prepared for the worst when she mentioned the story would be sadistic. However, she's surprised when she is asked what part was sadistic and notes how people react differently to different things. She then recaps how Hermit has Shiki's crew and now they are finding Valkyrie. Without any clues, they decide to go to Mildian home of a legendary fortune-teller. She chuckles after she wonders who the legendary fortune-teller is. She hears something and realizes she has guests. She finishes her recap by saying her farewells and wishes to see them again soon. At the Dress Factory of the Edens Zero, Weisz asks Homura to fulfill her promise of wearing a bunny girl outfit. He asks Rebecca if she could as well, but she declines even if it is for raising her channel's view count. Hermit explains how the place works, having Homura stand on the platform to take her measurements and to input the information for the outfit they want. Weisz scrolls through several bunny girl outfits, Hermit adds that after the base he can add or delete parts and patterns. This excites Weisz but Rebecca stops him from doing anything further with that.

They go through a number of choices before settling on one, where giant hands appear before Homura and make a traditional Japanese bunny outfit, as Weisz calls it. Homura surprisingly likes it and asks where her previous clothes are, which Hermit answers that they've been put in storage. After seeing the results, Rebecca and Shiki decide they want an outfit change as well, along with the others. Witch compliments them, while Sister complains how they're still in their regular clothes. Witch agrees and asks Shiki what to wear, but Weisz suggests a classic witch outfit. Shortly after, Witch and Sister don new attire. Everyone is astonished by Witch's beauty without her mask, which she admits that she finds it embarrassing to show her face to others. Hermit's alarm beeps and informs the others that they are approaching Mildian, the Planet of Time. Hermit advises them to be careful, as rumors state the planet's time is always stopped, where they speculate if it means that nothing moves there. They take the Aqua Wing to land and find that everything is normal. They see a large building and wonder if the legendary fortune-teller is in there. Before entering they see a sign that requests that they have to go barefoot within, to which they comply. Pino warns them of an abnormal Ether density on the other side of the door. They open it and find an empty, starry void. Xiaomei greets them and introduces herself as the "Time Oracle".
