Kafka asked, looking slightly puzzled.

"No, it was the Space Station's Station Master, a woman named Asta, who gave the order. She reacted immediately and issued commands the moment the Anti-Matter Legion attacked."

Silver Wolf shook her head and replied.

"A name I haven't heard before... but it's a good thing for us, at least. It made things a lot easier."

Kafka nodded. After noting the name, she looked at Silver Wolf and said.

Silver Wolf nodded and quickly began to operate the interface.

"Station Master Asta, per your orders, we have temporarily locked down the elevator access to prevent the Anti-Matter Legion from attacking the Main Control Section."

Meanwhile.

Over at the Main Control Section.

Asta continued to issue orders, with people coming to report to her from time to time.

"Good. What is the situation now?"

Asta's face revealed her worry.

"It's very bad. Many pieces of equipment and instruments have been destroyed, and there are personnel missing..."

Upon hearing this, the expression on Asta's face immediately turned grim.

The attack by the Anti-Matter Legion was far too sudden, leaving no chance for anyone to react.

The equipment and instruments were one thing, but the missing personnel were the real issue...

If only Xiao Mu were still on the Space Station.

No, that wasn't right. It should be, if only she were Xiao Mu. If it were Xiao Mu, he would definitely have done a better job.

"You've already done very well, Asta. Even if it were me, I wouldn't have done any better than you."

Just at that moment.

Chen Mu's voice rang out beside Asta.

Asta was startled at the sound. When she saw Chen Mu, her face was instantly filled with surprise and joy, and she threw herself at him.

"Wuaah, Xiao Mu, you're back? When did you get back?!! I, I..."

Asta buried her head in Chen Mu's chest, her eyes even welling up with tears.

After all, this is a real world, and Asta is just a young girl.

When encountering someone she can rely on, it is only natural that she would involuntarily reveal her vulnerability.

"Alright, alright, I'm back. Leave the rest to me."

Chen Mu gently stroked Asta's head as she was in his arms, saying with a smile.

In Chen Mu's eyes, Asta had truly done very well.

She had made the most correct response at the very first moment.

Otherwise, the Space Station would only be in even greater chaos and in a much worse state right now.

There is a reason why Herta took Asta as her apprentice and appointed her as the Station Master.

Asta also quickly realized that now was not the time to act spoiled, and she hurriedly explained the current situation to Chen Mu:

"Xiao Mu, the Anti-Matter Legion has attacked the Space Station."

"Right now, apart from the Main Control Section, the Base Section, the Containment Section, and the Support Section have all been invaded by the Anti-Matter Legion."

"To prevent the situation from spreading to the Main Control Section, I have already locked down the elevator access. Although I initiated an evacuation immediately, there are still people missing."

"Oh, that's right, members of the Train Crew have also arrived at the Space Station. It's a girl with pink hair and a person carrying a spear. They are currently helping us search for the missing personnel."

A girl with pink hair and a person carrying a spear.

It is obvious that these are March 7th and Dan Heng.

"I understand."

Chen Mu nodded, then said to Asta: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to them."

Immediately after, he gently pushed Asta away and vanished from where he stood.

Asta was stunned when she saw this, and then she became anxious.

She had just remembered Chen Mu's space ability!

When Chen Mu had suddenly appeared earlier, she hadn't even realized the implications.

She had originally thought that when Chen Mu said to leave it to him, he meant for her to hand over command of the situation.

But now that he had disappeared, what was he going to do?

Asta vaguely guessed what Chen Mu was thinking.

But... but...

But she still couldn't help but worry.

After all, wasn't Chen Mu's ability just Space Teleportation?

Just at that moment.

A researcher on-site, who had been monitoring the surveillance feeds while searching for missing personnel, couldn't help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise, exclaiming:

"That's... that's Lord Chen Mu!"

"Lord Chen Mu is back!"

"Hiss~ Lord Chen Mu's strength is incredible! The Anti-Matter Legion can't put up any resistance against him at all."

As soon as those words were spoken.

All the researchers present were startled.

They all began to gather around.

As they watched Chen Mu's strength on the monitor, they were filled with shock.

After all, in their impression.

Chen Mu was just an ordinary person without any power from an Aeon.

This was a well-known fact throughout the universe.

However, after the shock, they were also filled with joy, cheering out loud one after another.

"Great! Lord Chen Mu is back!"

"With Mentor Chen Mu here, the Space Station will definitely be fine!"

"Lord Chen Mu will surely solve all the problems!"

"Hmph, Lord Chen Mu will definitely make those Anti-Matter Legion bastards pay!"

"..."

Seeing this scene, Asta couldn't help but wear a helpless expression on her face.

This was the prestige Chen Mu held at the Space Station.

Even though he was just a researcher, everyone at the Space Station believed he could handle the brutal Anti-Matter Legion of the universe.

But wasn't she exactly the same?

Ever since Chen Mu returned.

Asta clearly felt much more at ease.

Chapter 32: You Call Yourself Kafka?

"It's alright now. Just rest here for a moment; the rescue team will be here to pick you up soon."

After dealing with the Voidranger, Chen Mu spoke softly to the girl, who was still visibly terrified.

The girl's face was full of gratitude as she said to Chen Mu:

"Thank you, Mentor Chen Mu."

Chen Mu nodded at her with a smile before vanishing from the spot once again.

He remained completely oblivious to the look of gratitude and adoration in the girl's eyes.

After his brief encounter with Asta.

Chen Mu shuttled across various parts of the Space Station.

He rescued the Space Station members who had been trapped by Voidrangers and were unable to escape when the Anti-Matter Legion launched their attack.

Since the Chat Group had integrated the space ability Chen Mu invented into his own being, this was not difficult for him.

Otherwise.

While it wouldn't have been impossible for Chen Mu, it would undoubtedly have been much more troublesome.

After rescuing yet another Space Station member.

Chen Mu let out a sigh of relief.

According to his perception, almost all of the victims were now out of danger.

Sensing activity in the Chat Group, Chen Mu glanced at it instinctively, and as expected, it was very lively.

However, Chen Mu had no time to deal with it right now, so he closed it immediately, intending to check it once the current situation was resolved.

He figured that Kafka and Silver Wolf must have finished their tasks as well.

Just as Chen Mu had expected.

On the other side of this affair.

Kafka and Silver Wolf had finally unraveled Herta's mystery and obtained what they were looking for.

Stellaron!

Rumor has it that this is something scattered across the universe by the Destruction Aeon.

It is an existence that brings ruin to countless civilizations.

And precisely because of this.

The Stellaron is also known as the Cancer of All Worlds.

Yet, in the eyes of the Stellaron Hunters.

Although the Stellaron has caused many negative consequences, it is, in itself, a treasure filled with value. They are the kind of people who pan for gold amidst danger.

The Stellaron before them was the one that had appeared in the void outside Azurite not long ago.

The one that Herta had captured before it could even descend.

Looking at the Stellaron before them.

Kafka and Silver Wolf undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief.

Obtaining the Stellaron meant that they had essentially succeeded.

"Let's begin."

What followed was a simple procedure.

As Silver Wolf released the vessel, the young girl named Stelle appeared before the two of them.

Kafka approached Stelle and asked, "How much does she still remember?"

"I think, at the very least, she should still remember you," Silver Wolf replied.
