By the time Welt returned from the room to the train hall, clutching his stomach with a pale face, he witnessed a scene that made his pupils quake.
He saw Theresa sitting in Himeko's arms on the sofa, leisurely drinking that huge cup of ultra-concentrated coffee!
The coffee that had left him in unbearable agony after just one cup seemed like a sweet beverage to Theresa. The adorable girl showed not the slightest sign of panic or pain.
She sat comfortably in Himeko's arms, holding a huge cup of ultra-concentrated coffee and sipping it slowly, her little expression making her seem as though she was thoroughly enjoying it.
"Mm, Welt, you're back. Look, this coffee you all avoid like the plague tastes perfectly delicious to Little Theresa and me."
Himeko looked at the petite, adorable Theresa in her arms with satisfaction as she spoke to Welt.
"Exactly, exactly. Old Yang, you're way too weak~"
"Sister Himeko's coffee is unbelievably delicious!"
Theresa said to Welt, swinging her short little legs.
"..."
Clutching his stomach, Welt recalled Theresa's bizarre sense of taste. She was a fierce woman who drank the bitterest bitter melon juice as a beverage. How could mere concentrated coffee compare to bitter melon juice?
"Waaah, Uncle Yang, my stomach hurts so much. It feels like I drank Sulfuric Acid~"
"Holy crap, she's actually slowly drinking Sister Himeko's coffee. As expected of someone Uncle Yang knows, this woman is terrifying!"
The moment March 7th came out, she saw something that completely shattered her worldview. It was the first time she had seen anyone besides Himeko herself leisurely enjoying coffee that was practically Sulfuric Acid!
"..."
Dan Heng, who was also clutching his stomach with a pale face, was speechless at the sight.
"As expected of Mr. Welt's friend. I am utterly convinced!"
Dan Heng said admiringly as he watched Theresa drink coffee with ease.
"Huh? It's nothing special. It tastes pretty good, actually—rich, fragrant, and delicious. It satisfies this Bishop just like bitter melon juice does. Thank you for the hospitality, Sister Himeko!"
"By the way, from now on, everyone can just call me Theresa. After all, this is no longer my world~"
Theresa smiled helplessly at everyone. Seeing the bitterness on her face, they began comforting her. March 7th said that at least Theresa had someone she knew here—Uncle Yang.
As for her, she remembered nothing and had been salvaged by the train all alone.
"Everyone here has their own story, Theresa."
"The Astral Express welcomes all friendly Stellaron Hunters. You can travel with everyone until you and Welt find a way home."
Himeko smiled dotingly as she stroked Theresa, who was nestled in her arms. Theresa's adorable and beautiful appearance made Himeko naturally want to get closer to her.
Himeko did not know why she felt such inexplicable affection toward Theresa, but perhaps it was because Theresa was so cute and sensible?
The train was about to arrive at the Space Station. Please prepare to disembark. Also, something seemed wrong at the Space Station, so everyone had to be careful!
Pam's warning came through, and everyone began preparing to get off the train.
"Oh, right. Theresa, you can call me March 7th or Little March. After all, Uncle Yang said your age is..."
March 7th said cautiously. Welt awkwardly adjusted his glasses and pretended to be ignorant. By now, he was one hundred percent certain that she was Theresa, because only Theresa's bizarre taste buds could enjoy Himeko's coffee.
"Forget it. Old Yang didn't do it on purpose. As for that Alliance Leader stuff, if you're curious, ask him. If he wants to tell you, he will. If he doesn't, there's nothing I can do."
"As for being able to board the train and avoid becoming space junk left to think forever, that was all thanks to Old Yang. Of course I'm very grateful to him. And at my age, there's no problem with me calling you Old Yang, right?"
Theresa looked at Welt and asked. Welt smiled and nodded. They were truly old acquaintances, after all, so naturally he would not take offense.
"My name is Dan Heng. I come from the Xianzhou Alliance. That is all I can say. Please do not take offense."
Dan Heng looked at the adorable Theresa and spoke with solemn seriousness.
"Mm, then I'll call you Dan Heng, and you can call me Theresa, just as Himeko said."
"Everyone here has their own experiences. That's why we wanted to embark on a journey to find the things we seek, right?"
"And I want to find my way home. I'll be relying on everyone during this time."
"After all, this isn't a place I'm familiar with. I'll stay alert and start using my brain."
Theresa smiled as she leaned against Himeko's embrace. As for Judas, it had transformed into a necklace hanging around her neck. After all, Judas was far too conspicuous in its full size.
Welt and the others looked at the somewhat different Theresa and nodded. After all, there were no Herrscher students here for Theresa to rely on, so Welt found it perfectly normal that she had changed.
Although Theresa bore the Apocalypse surname, her relationship with Otto was only that of grandfather and granddaughter in name. In essence, she carried Kaslana blood.
As everyone knew, when members of the Kaslana family had someone to rely on, they would not use their own brains. Instead, they relied on their external brains. Now that Theresa had come aboard the train, there was no one she could depend on.
So naturally, the Kaslanas would start thinking for themselves again.
Besides, Theresa was not actually stupid. She was not the original foolish Dr. Ratio, either, but a Theresa with a brain, much like Stargazer.
Click.
As the train entered the Space Station and docked, Welt opened the door while Himeko smiled and led Theresa off the train by the hand.
The moment they disembarked, the Stellaron Hunters understood why something was wrong with the Space Station. Antimatter Legion soldiers were wandering everywhere!
"Everyone, prepare for battle. Theresa, how much of your strength have you recovered?"
Welt looked at Theresa and asked. Everyone was curious about what she was capable of.
"I don't know how long I slept. The Destruction Energy inside my body seems to have changed somehow, so I need to adapt and make adjustments."
Theresa said somewhat embarrassedly. Everyone nodded in understanding. She had drifted through space for so long, and they had salvaged her themselves.
"Then, Theresa, stay close to us. Himeko and I will clear the way ahead. Little March and Dan Heng, stay by Theresa's side!"
Welt quickly said, and everyone began moving. With a thought, Theresa used the Vishnu Hyper-Mutation Factor stored within Judas.
As a creation of Immortal Dragon Qin, the Hypervariable Factor was very simple to use. It no longer needed to be injected and had become a pill.
With a thought from Theresa, the Hypervariable Factor pill was transported into her mouth with the help of the Herta Space Station System, and she swallowed it. As the Stellaron Hunters cleared out the Antimatter Legion, none of them noticed anything unusual about her.
