Chapter 112: Is Herta Really into Women?
"Because of 100 power stones i have release one more extra chapter with regular chapters" Back to the story
Many years later, when Stelle met the Star God of Hunting, Lan, she would remember the afternoon when she woke up on the space station.
...
...
"What... happened..." Stelle slowly opened her eyes.
She found herself lying in a ward in the medical department.
But as an android, does a ward have any meaning for her?
She couldn't help but think.
"Hey, you're awake," Gu Tang, sitting on a chair beside the bed with his legs crossed, said.
Dan Heng stood behind Gu Tang, arms crossed, with a calm expression on his face.
"What did you do to me..." Stelle extended her hand, trying to push herself up from the bed.
But terrifying strength exploded from her arm, propelling her body straight up to the ceiling.
"Ah?" Stelle let out a surprised shout.
Boom!
Her body slammed directly into the ceiling, creating a few cracks on it.
Gu Tang and Dan Heng looked up at her.
Then, Stelle's body fell back down.
Crash—!
The bed shattered into several pieces.
Gu Tang and Dan Heng looked down.
"... I'm asking seriously, what on earth did you do to me?" Stelle mumbled in disbelief as she lay among the debris of the bed.
Dan Heng quickly raised his hand, "It wasn't me, ask him."
"I did a little modification to your body and gave you some power," Gu Tang said with a smile, "The power to realize your dreams."
"Power..." Stelle looked at Gu Tang, her eyes dazed.
"Imagine, Stelle, imagine yourself being omnipotent." Gu Tang raised his index fingers to his temples, "Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, and you can control this power."
Stelle looked down at her palm.
Then, her body slowly rose, floating in mid-air.
Her golden hair spread out, drifting behind her head.
"Wow..." Dan Heng exclaimed, "Bro, what exactly did you do to her?"
Gu Tang looked at Stelle, rubbing his chin, "I put a leftover... I mean, a quarter of a star core that I had left after research, into her as an energy source. I didn't expect the effect to be even better than I imagined."
Stelle spun in the air once, then looked at Gu Tang and Dan Heng.
"I..."
She had just spoken the first word when scorching red beams shot out from her eyes, piercing the air and shooting forward.
"What the hell?!" Dan Heng reacted quickly, dodging to the side but still getting a bit of his hair tips burned off.
The beams pierced through several metal walls of the space station in an instant.
"Ah, sorry! I still can't control it well!" Stelle hurriedly closed her eyes.
"Don't worry, Stelle. As I said, imagination is important," Gu Tang continued guiding Stelle, like a patient mentor.
Stelle closed her eyes, murmuring, "Imagine... imagine..."
Then, a glow appeared around her, instantly transforming her clothes.
Dan Heng looked at the cape that appeared in the light, shrugged, and said, "Seems like I'm witnessing the origin story of a superhero."

"Phew! My head feels a bit dizzy." Stelle shook her head.
She had just come out of the simulated universe.
"This Cosmic Plague is quite fun, Herta." Stelle looked at Herta and said.
Herta didn't respond but frowned as she looked at the virtual screen in front of her.
"What are you looking at so intently?" Stelle walked up to Herta and asked.
Herta smiled slightly, "I'm reading Asta's report. Gu Tang has done some interesting things again."
She told Stelle about the android Stelle.
"Such a thing actually happened... Well, that's Gu Tang for you," Stelle sighed, "What happened to her later?"
"She left the space station, saying she wanted to use her power to uphold justice in the universe. Heh, you know what, it kind of has a vigilante vibe," Herta said, folding her arms, "By the way, she didn't use any spacecraft. She just flew directly into space like a golden streak of light."
"That's so cool... What about the creator, Gu En?" Stelle continued asking.
"He was taken away by the Justice Department. Considering his status and that this experiment didn't cause any substantial harm, he probably won't face any severe punishment. Of course, continuing his experiments is out of the question," Herta said in a careless tone, clearly showing she didn't care at all.
"I thought you completely ignored what happens on the space station," Stelle looked at Herta and said.
Herta tossed her hair, "I still read Asta's reports occasionally. I really don't care about the space station, but looking at Gu Tang's unexpected behavior is quite amusing."
Stelle was a bit curious, "What do you think about this matter, oh genius Herta? Creating an android similar to one's lover out of longing for them..."
"Haha!" Herta let out a mocking laugh, "If Gu En truly loved his wife... then the day his wife died, he should have resolutely followed her."
Stelle was stunned, "Herta... would you do that...?"
Herta showed a faint smile, "Who knows... Just think about one thing, Stelle. Which is more important, your lover or a world without them? Once you figure this out, your next actions won't be confusing."
Stelle looked at Herta's smile, blinking her eyes.
She felt that the beautiful smile was a bit terrifying.
Because behind that smile was a dark, boiling emotion, mixed with a deep, bottomless possessiveness that could devour someone completely.
"Your taste is heavy..." Stelle said slowly.
"What's with that look? Don't worry, I'm not the type to die with someone," Herta waved her hand dismissively.
"Really..." Stelle was somewhat skeptical.
"Because there's another choice," Herta supported her chin with her hand, "To try and revive that important person."
"Reviving the deceased... Sounds like something only a Star God could do," Stelle scratched her head.
"Heh, if a genius's obsession is deep enough, deep enough to abandon all self and the entire world, who knows... they might actually touch upon the realm of the gods," Herta said with a smile.
Stelle looked at Herta's petite puppet body.
Although she had become somewhat desensitized by her dirty jokes recently...
But indeed, Herta was a genius beyond common sense.
Not just in intelligence.
Her heart, perception, obsession, and morality... all were those of a monster far removed from ordinary people.

"Hehehe... I'm coming, my dear."
Herta excitedly rubbed her hands together, heading toward Gu Tang's room.
Yes, it was time for another night raid.
"Turning my simulated universe into a chaotic food fight... Doesn't this deserve at least a ten-roll compensation for me... no! Twenty-rolls!"
Herta wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
This time, her doll was big enough to hold fifty-rolls worth of stuff, enough to enjoy herself thoroughly.
Anyone who has played gacha games knows that ten-rolls can result in a lot of gold and purple.
Then, someone blocked her path ahead.
"You're from the Astral Express..." Herta frowned, looking at the figure in front of her.
Dan Heng raised his spear, pointing its sharp tip at Herta, "I won't let you mess around with my buddy."
Herta took out a long-handled hammer, "I advise you not to meddle."
Her reply was a sharp thrust.
