As the pill was swallowed by Theresa and passed through her esophagus into her stomach, its outer shell dissolved under the corrosion of gastric acid.
The Hypervariable Factor sleeping inside awakened and activated under the stimulation of the gastric acid. It directly ignored the acid, merged into her capillaries, and began traveling through Theresa's blood toward every part of her body.
The Immortal Power dormant within Theresa also activated upon encountering the Hypervariable Factor, amplifying it. The Hypervariable Factor began consuming the nutrients in Theresa's body, multiplying and reproducing, merging into her genes and causing unknown changes in her body.
The first step was the awakening of Vishnu's hunger. Theresa immediately felt ravenous, her eyes reddening slightly as she looked at the defeated Antimatter Legion.
"Mm, I'm so hungry."
Theresa said, clutching her stomach. Dan Heng and March 7th stiffened when they heard her words. Only then did they realize that, aside from drinking Himeko's coffee after being rescued by the train, Theresa seemed not to have eaten anything at all.
"Sorry, we haven't been very hospitable. We forgot that you hadn't eaten for a long time, Theresa. Please bear with it for now. Once we find the people from the Space Station, we can solve your food problem."
Himeko awkwardly explained to Theresa, while March 7th gave an embarrassed smile, since she had forgotten too.
"I feel so hungry. I feel like... those monsters can be eaten too!"
Theresa shouted, her eyes slightly red. Unable to endure the terrible hunger any longer, she beckoned with one hand. Judas around her neck returned to its original form and landed in her grasp.
"Oath of Judah, deploy! Heavenly Judgment!"
Theresa slammed Judas into the ground and shouted. Before the astonished eyes of the Stellaron Hunters, a massive sword formation unfolded, with a splendid Magic Array appearing at its center. A tremendous suction force surged forth.
The shrieking, terrified Antimatter Legion monsters were sucked in, then shredded by the sword formation into chunks scattered across the ground.
The antimatter cores were also absorbed by the Magic Array at the center of the sword formation, transformed into black-gold Imaginary Energy, absorbed by Judas, then transferred into Theresa's body.
Theresa contentedly felt the abundant energy being absorbed into her body. With sufficient energy to support them, the Vishnu Hyper-Mutation Factor within her began multiplying at an outrageous rate, merging with and evolving Theresa's cellular structure.
Thus, before Welt and the others' astonished eyes, the Antimatter Legion that had originally packed the Space Station was shredded and devoured by Theresa's sword formation.
Fortunately, under Theresa's control, the sword formation's suction did not affect the Stellaron Hunters. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and watched as the massive sword formation shredded and devoured every Antimatter Legion member in sight.
"Uncle Yang, was Theresa always this strong? She's practically as strong as all of us put together."
March 7th looked reverently at the sword formation crazily shredding and devouring the Antimatter Legion as she spoke to Welt.
"This is also an ability of the Oath of Judah. The Oath of Judah is the Eleventh Divine Key, created fifty thousand years ago using the Core of the Herrscher of Binding."
"According to my research, this Divine Key has many strange and unusual functions. It is also a precious weapon left behind by the Previous Civilization."
"Not only that, it is said to possess many undiscovered modes. It is extremely versatile."
Welt explained to everyone as they curiously watched Judas slaughter its enemies.
With a sharp snap, the sword formation deployed by the Oath of Judah quickly shredded every Antimatter Legion member in this section.
The sword formation contracted and vanished, while the deployed Judas folded shut. Theresa licked her lips contentedly. The terrible hunger had disappeared, and the Hypervariable Factor within her had successfully fused.
All that remained was to wait for future awakenings. After all, Vishnu was a Honkai Beast that represented devouring everything. As long as it had something to eat, it would continue growing!
Then Theresa could finally shake off the title of Judas Launcher. She did not want Judas to be the only method she could bring out.
"Mm, I'm full now! I'm not hungry anymore!"
Theresa put away the Oath of Judah and smiled happily.
"Huh? Theresa, didn't that cross of yours just shred the entire Antimatter Legion? What does that have to do with you being full?"
As the Stellaron Hunters approached, March 7th asked in confusion after hearing Theresa's words.
"Well, because I drifted through space for a long time, the energy in my body has already been consumed maintaining my body. Now that I've replenished it with those monsters, it doesn't matter whether I eat food or not anymore~"
Theresa explained to the Express Crew.
Dan Heng pondered the meaning of Theresa's words. Honestly, this was the first time he had ever seen such a bizarre way of eating.
"Everyone can rest assured. I know Theresa well. She is the most suitable user for this Divine Key, and the combat power she can unleash should not be underestimated."
"Next, let's search for the people from the Space Station. We'll split up this time. Theresa, March, and Dan Heng, you'll be one group. Himeko and I will be another."
Welt began assigning everyone their tasks. Everyone nodded in understanding and split up to search for the people of the Space Station.
"Whoosh, rumble!"
"Fire! Alternate attacks!"
A dark-skinned, slender man with long white hair commanded the guards.
He also joined the battle personally, using his lightning-wreathed greatsword to cut down the Antimatter Legion.
At this moment, March 7th, Dan Heng, and Theresa began searching the other sections for survivors.
They soon saw a group of guards and Arlan struggling desperately while surrounded by the Antimatter Legion.
"Sometimes, a girl has to get serious. Come taste my power!"
March 7th leaped into the air, drew her bow, and fired. She transformed the ice power of the Path into a swarm of little teddy bear-like things that pounced upon the Antimatter Legion and froze them.
Seizing the opportunity, Dan Heng swung the Cloud-Piercer Spear and used a sweeping strike to knock back some of the Antimatter Legion, easing the pressure on Arlan and the guards. They quickly retreated, looking gratefully at the Stellaron Hunters.
When they saw the beautiful and adorable Theresa, the faces of the young, hot-blooded men reddened. Retreating before such a cute girl made them feel deeply ashamed.
"Oath of Judah, deploy!"
"Hunting Mode!"
At Theresa's words, before Arlan and the others' astonished eyes, the Oath of Judah slammed heavily into the ground and unfolded. Thirteen Soul Steel spears, trailing chains behind them, flew toward the Antimatter Legion.
The defenses they were so proud of were like brittle tofu before the Oath of Judah. They were pierced with a single strike, utterly unable to resist before being shredded and devoured. Theresa absorbed that energy into her body through the Oath of Judah.
Today's beautiful illustration: this was what the protagonist looked like.
