Others Compete with Skill; Silver Wolf Edits the Backend

"Forget it, it's a limited unique one after all. It's normal for it to be a little special."

And originally, Herta shouldn't have been an Aether Spirit. There hadn't been a character called Herta among the original golden Aether Spirits either.

The reason she was now an Aether Spirit was because the two of them had competed against each other before the rules were changed. The bet had been that whoever lost had to become an Aether Spirit.

That way, they could both win the championship together.

If Silver Wolf lost, then Silver Wolf would become the Aether Spirit. If Herta lost, it would be the same.

And now, the result was obvious. Silver Wolf had outplayed her in that match and won.

So that was how Herta became Silver Wolf's Aether Spirit.

Before the rules changed, Silver Wolf had been considering whether to make Herta into some kind of hidden character. After all, she was her gaming buddy, and also a member of the Stellaris Hunters. It wouldn't look good if her level was too low.

But just as she was about to do that, the game had changed its rules and added a limited golden Aether Spirit.

Heh! That saved her the trouble.

She directly set Herta as a hidden, limited, unique character.

The kind that only one person in the entire game could pull.

And since Herta herself was a Destruction Body—basically data that had become sentient—Silver Wolf didn't even need to personally command her in battle.

She could automatically fight as soon as she entered the field.

It was convenient.

And her combat skills were more than just a little stronger than those rigid Aether Spirits with only a bit of AI added to them.

But even the most powerful Aether Spirit had its flaws.
