Using the Vishnu Hyper-Mutation Factor

When Welt returned to the train's main hall from his room, clutching his stomach with a pale face, he witnessed a sight that made his pupils quake.

Because he saw Theresa sitting on the sofa, held in Himeko's arms, leisurely sipping that huge cup of Super-Concentrated Coffee!

He watched as the coffee that had made him writhe in agony with just one sip was, for Theresa, like a sweet, delightful drink. The young girl's adorable expression showed no trace of panic or pain.

She sat contentedly in Himeko's embrace, slowly drinking the large cup of Super-Concentrated Coffee, her little face looking as if she were thoroughly enjoying it.

"Mm, Welt, you're back. See, this coffee you all avoid like the plague tastes perfectly fine to me and Little Theresa."

Himeko said to Welt, smiling with satisfaction as she looked at the petite, cute Theresa in her arms.

"That's right, that's right! Old Yang, you're way too weak~"

"Sister Himeko's coffee is absolutely delicious!"

Theresa wagged her little legs as she spoke to Welt.

"..."

Welt, still clutching his stomach, suddenly recalled Theresa's bizarre sense of taste. This was the same person who drank the most bitter Bitter Melon Juice as if it were a beverage. What was concentrated coffee compared to that?

"Wah, Uncle Yang, my tummy hurts so much, like I drank Sulfuric Acid~"

"Whoa, she's actually sipping Sister Himeko's coffee nice and slow. No wonder she's someone Uncle Yang knows—this woman is terrifyingly impressive!"

March 7th came out and immediately saw a scene that shattered her worldview, because it was the first time she'd ever seen anyone besides Himeko herself leisurely enjoying that Sulfuric Acid-like coffee!

"..."

Dan Heng, also pale-faced and clutching his stomach, was speechless at the sight.

"Truly worthy of being Mr. Welt's acquaintance. We bow in admiration!"

Dan Heng said with respect as he watched Theresa calmly drinking her coffee.

"Huh? It's nothing special. It's pretty tasty, actually—rich and smooth. It satisfies This Archbishop just as much as Bitter Melon Juice does. Thank you for the hospitality, Sister Himeko!"

"Oh, and by the way, from now on, everyone can just call me Theresa. After all, this isn't my world anymore~"

Theresa gave everyone a helpless smile. Seeing her bitter expression, they began to comfort her. March 7th pointed out that at least Theresa had an old acquaintance here in Uncle Yang.

Unlike her, who remembered nothing and had been fished out of the void by the train all alone.

"Everyone here has their own story, Theresa."

"The Astral Express welcomes all friendly Stellaron Hunters. You can journey with us until you and Welt find your way back."

Himeko smiled, cradling Theresa in her arms with a doting laugh. Theresa's cute and beautiful appearance naturally made Himeko want to reach out to her.

Himeko didn't know why she felt such an inexplicable fondness for Theresa, but she chalked it up to Theresa being both adorable and sensible?

[The train is about to arrive at the Space Station. Please prepare to disembark. Also, the Space Station seems to be in some trouble—everyone must be very careful!]

Pam's warning came through, and everyone prepared to get off.

"Oh, right. Theresa, you can call me March 7th or Little March. Since Uncle Yang mentioned your age..."

March 7th said cautiously. Welt awkwardly adjusted his glasses and played dumb. By now, he was a hundred percent sure this was Theresa—only her bizarre taste buds could actually enjoy Himeko's coffee.

"Forget it, Old Yang didn't mean it. As for all that stuff about the Alliance Leader and whatnot, if you're curious, ask him. If he's willing to talk, he will. If not, I can't do anything about it."

"As for me being able to board the train and avoid becoming Space Junk that stops thinking, I have Old Yang to thank for that. I'm very grateful. And given my age, calling you Old Yang is fine, right?"

Theresa looked at Welt and asked. Welt smiled and nodded. After all, they were old acquaintances; he certainly wouldn't take offense.

"My name is Dan Heng. I'm from the Xianzhou Alliance. That's all I can say. Please don't take offense."

Dan Heng looked at the cute Theresa seriously and solemnly.

"Mm, then I'll call you Dan Heng, and you can call me Theresa, just like Himeko said."

"Everyone here has their own experiences. That's why we set out on a journey—to find what we're looking for, right?"

"And for me, that's finding a way home. I'll be relying on all of you for now."

"Since this isn't a place I'm familiar with, I'll stay alert and start using my head."

Theresa smiled, leaning against Himeko's embrace. As for Judas, it had turned into a necklace hanging around her neck—after all, a full-sized Judas would be far too conspicuous.

Welt and the others looked at this slightly different version of Theresa and nodded. After all, here she didn't have the group of Herrscher students she relied on back home. To Welt, it was only natural that she had changed.

Because although Theresa bore the surname Apocalypse, her relationship with Otto was only in name as grandfather and granddaughter. In essence, she carried the bloodline of Kaslana.

As everyone knew, members of the Kaslana clan didn't use their brains when they had someone to rely on—they leaned on their external brain instead. But now that Theresa was on the train with no one to depend on, naturally, a Kaslana would start thinking again.

And in truth, Theresa wasn't stupid. Plus, this wasn't the silly, foolish Dr. Ratio—this was a Theresa with brains, more like Stargazer.

As the train pulled into the Space Station and came to a stop, Welt opened the door. Himeko smiled and took Theresa's hand as they stepped off the train.

The moment they disembarked, the Stellaron Hunters realized why the Space Station was in trouble—because everywhere they looked, the Antimatter Legion was roaming!

"Everyone, prepare for battle. Theresa, how much of your strength have you recovered?"

Welt looked at Theresa and asked. Everyone was also curious about what Theresa was capable of.

"I don't know how long I slept. The Destruction Energy inside me seems to have changed a bit—I need to adapt and adjust."

Theresa said a little sheepishly. Everyone nodded in understanding, since they had fished her out after she'd been drifting in space for so long.

"Then Theresa, stay close to us. Himeko and I will take point up front, and March and Dan Heng will guard you."

Welt quickly laid out the plan, and everyone began to move. Theresa focused her mind, activating the Vishnu Hyper-Mutation Factor stored within Judas.

As a creation of the Immortal Dragon Qin, this Hyper-Mutation Factor was very simple to use. It no longer required an injection, having been transformed into a single pill.

With a thought, the Hyper-Mutation Factor pill was teleported into her mouth by the Herta Space Station System and swallowed. Meanwhile, the Stellaron Hunters were busy clearing out the Antimatter Legion, none of them noticing her change.
