Herta: Come on, Follow Me-I Want to Take a Look! / Herta: You Little Flirt, the Belobogian Peacock of Zygonia

Although Gwyn had already guessed that the Herta was the one who had shared the Invitation Letter with Asta, being blocked at the door by the Herta the moment he turned around still made Gwen with admiration. These clever people...

"It's you guys who don't try to hide anything at all. If I couldn't even notice this, wouldn't I be an idiot?"

Herta rolled her eyes playfully and retorted.

"A fool wouldn't notice so quickly."

Gwen softly, and an Invitation Letter appeared between his fingers—

"The peerless, brilliant, and stunningly beautiful Ms. Herta can certainly have her way, but to accept the Invitation Letter directly from me, one final step is necessary."

Gwen spoke, he gently nodded his head.

"They've made it sound quite mysterious."

Herta tilted its head.

"But what about me? I already know your secret, and I'm not one of you. Aren't I in danger too?"

"I believe in Ms. Herta's character."

"Gwen said sincerely."

"Oh..."

Herta's lips curled into a smug smile, as if he were laughing at Gwen's glib tongue.

However, after a brief eye contact with Gwen, the Herta's smile faded, and he waved his hand again—

"Alright, I promise you, just give it to me now."

She was confident that she could handle ordinary matters of the soul, but if it was something extraordinary, it would be more meaningful to her.

Besides, Ruan Mei and Asta have already formed Soul Binding, so what does she, a powerful figure in the Herta, have to fear?

"Once you get on this ship, there's no chance to jump ship."

Gwen chuckled, and the Invitation Letter in his hand floated into the Herta's grasp.

"Then I'll get on your pirate ship."

Herta said nonchalantly, having already completed the binding at lightning speed, adding another person to Gwen's friend list.

However, before Gwen could even send an emoji to say hello, he received a message from Ruan Mei—

"I've encountered some special circumstances here, I need to come over for a moment."

Where did Ruan Mei go?

After casually asking the Herta a question, Gwen disappeared from the room.

When Gwen opened his eyes again, he found himself in a piece of space junk surrounded by unusual Imaginary Energy.

Chapter 893 Herta: Elbow, come with me, let me see!

"This was done by... the Anti-Matter Legion?"

Gwen sensed a familiar aura as he carefully sensed the Imaginary Energy surrounding this piece of space debris... or more accurately, the wreckage of a spaceship.

However, compared to the Void Pawn and Doomsday Beast that Gwen once crushed, the destructive power here is purer and more refined.

Clearly, the person who destroyed all of this possessed a far greater understanding and application of destruction than those lowly minions and elite monsters.

Having reached a conclusion in his mind, Gwen turned his head and met Ruan Mei's cold eyes—

"No, they are definitely not ordinary Antimatter Legion grunts..."

Could it be the legendary Annihilation Lord?

"For you, that is not a legendary existence, and it may even become an enemy standing in front of you in the future."

Seeing that Gwen had deduced the correct answer, Ruan Mei smiled gently and softly corrected some of his misconceptions to prevent him from panicking when they actually faced the Annihilation Lord.

"Indeed, but the Annihilation Lord truly deserves to be called a legend, doesn't he?"

Gwen smiled.

"His fame spread throughout the universe, but few have actually seen him."

Because most of the people who had seen them were dead.

"Oh...

That's not entirely wrong.

Ruan Mei nodded with a smile.

"Faced with the destruction brought by the Annihilation Lord, most people will lose everything before they even realize it is coming."

However, perhaps there's a... lucky one here?

"This is..."

Following Ruan Mei's gaze, Gwen's eyes narrowed, and a serious expression appeared on his face—

It was a somewhat blurry figure, humanoid in shape, with some animalistic features, but it gave people a strange feeling that it no longer existed, like the dregs about to be annihilated.

"How could he have survived to this day despite being personally attacked by the Annihilation Lord?"

He's certainly a lucky one, but... his personal experience probably can't be described as lucky at all.

Gwen easily discerned the other's state—

Destroyed by the Annihilation Lord of Annihilation, this life form, which was not particularly outstanding, should have turned to ashes. However, due to certain reasons, the destruction was not absolute and even maintained its existence, which allowed it to persist until it was discovered by Ruan Mei.

Moreover, although it has not been extinguished by the destructive power emitted by that Emanator until now, its pain is probably far greater than if it were destroyed in an instant.

This state... reminded Gwen of an old friend whose neck was twisted to the right.

"Yes, that Destruction Envoy seems to have ulterior motives towards her, which will take time, so she didn't just vanish into thin air."

Ruan Mei nodded, giving her own conclusion.

"Can it be saved?"

"Gwen asked."

"It's worth a try."

Ruan Mei nodded, looking again at the increasingly ethereal figure—

"But it might not be successful, I need your help."

"No problem."

Gwen nodded, quickly approaching the unfortunate fellow and lucky one who resembled Tingyun, and asked curiously,

"You've only been back for half a day, haven't you?"

How did you end up in a place like this?

"The Herta is a bit of a nuisance, so I made an excuse to come out for a walk."

Upon hearing Gwen's question, Ruan Mei's expression remained unchanged, but her tone revealed a subtle shift in emotion.

"Oh..."

When Ruan Mei mentioned the Herta, Gwen became more playful.

"Herta is still messaging me, asking where I've gone and whether I should let her participate."

"Don't want."

Ruan Mei, however, gave a negative answer without hesitation, and after a pause, continued—

"The Herta is too conspicuous."

She might be involved in a plan by an Annihilation Lord, and if exposed, it would be bad for her and for the plan's objectives.

"Oh...

That's true.

Gwen simply smiled and continued—

"Let's get them back first—what do you need me to do?"

"I'll take her away from here first. You can stay here and analyze the traces left by this Annihilation Lord."

Having worked together for so long, Ruan Mei has also discovered that Gwen, as a combatant, has a different perspective from hers in many ways, and perhaps she can obtain some special information from him.

"Okay, go ahead. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Gwen nodded.

Ruan Mei was originally capable of saving Tingyun, and with his help now, they should be able to succeed.

But...

Now that we've encountered Tingyun, shouldn't we start planning something about the Xianzhou?

After all, according to Ruan Mei and Herta's calculations and conclusions, he can now participate in battles at the level of Emanator without much pressure. Even if the opponent is the Destruction Envoy, the Annihilation Lord, he is very confident that he can escape unscathed.

Although we don't know what Elio's prophecy in Stellarons Hunters is, taking down a few Annihilation Lord first shouldn't be a bad thing...

Even if this might cause Elio's prophecy to go astray, or even lead to the bed end, isn't there still him?

After breaking through the Eighth Sense, normalizing the Divine Cloth, and breaking through to the Saintly or even the fifth level of the Gene Lock, he will possess a pivotal, even decisive, power.

So...

Could we take advantage of Phantylia's mischief to leave this Annihilation Lord in the Xianzhou Luofu?

After spending two hours there and analyzing some information from the remaining power of the Phantylia, Gwen returned to the Herta Space Station.

Meanwhile, the room, which had been relatively tidy, now contained many more items. Herta was studying these things from another world amidst the "clutter."

"You seem to be having quite a bit of fun?"

Gwen was not surprised by this and asked casually.

It's normal for someone who has collected and studied so many strange objects that the Herta has stored in several Herta Space Station to be interested in these otherworldly things.

"Generally speaking, most of them are not very interesting."

Upon hearing Gwen's voice, the Herta instantly dropped what he was holding and looked at Gwen with a half-smile—

"But what did you and Ruan Mei do together?"

"We discovered some traces left by an Annihilation Lord. We analyzed some of his characteristics and gained some understanding, which will make it easier to deal with him in the future."

Gwen offered a casual explanation, without elaborating further, and then changed the subject—

"Compared to this..."

Do you know anyone who has the ability to modify a star's core?

"Modify the star core?"

Herta raised an eyebrow.

"Explain in detail."

"The reason why Ruan Mei, Está, and I left one after Asta today is..."

Gwen briefly recounted the events of the day at Everwinter Peak, then looked towards the Herta.

"That's about it. Does our unparalleled, brilliant, and stunningly beautiful Ms. Herta have any clues?"

"That's interesting..."

Unfazed by Gwen's string of prefixes, Herta stroked her chin, a thoughtful expression on her pretty face.

A moment later, the Herta stopped thinking, grabbed Gwen's hand, and pulled him outside.

"Come on, let's go for a checkup, let me take a good look at you..."

Chapter 894 The Herta: The Flirtatious Brat, the Tsygonia Peacock of Belobog

After completing the examination, the Herta seemed to lose interest in Gwen and began conducting research that Gwen couldn't quite understand.

Gwen didn't bother them and left the laboratory on his own.

Just as Gwen was about to leave, he met a pair of deep blue eyes—

"Asta?"

"Yes, I saw signs of the labs here starting up, so I guessed it was you here."
