"What?!!" x2
March 7th and Dan Heng immediately cried out in shock.
Right after that,
sweat began to form on their foreheads.
After all, who in the universe had not heard of Stellarons?
They were existences capable of destroying an entire civilization.
Ever since Stellarons appeared, countless civilizations across the universe had been destroyed by them.
Even the universe's top factions had to treat Stellarons with utmost caution.
And yet, something like that—
was actually inside this girl's body?
How was that any different from having a bomb inside her? If it went off, the entire Space Station would probably be finished.
"Um, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you feel like you're going to explode? You absolutely have to stay calm."
March 7th looked nervously at Stelle, feeling utterly terrified.
Huh?
Hearing March 7th's words, Stelle looked confused, her expression blank.
What was a Stellaron?
Seeing Stelle's expression, March 7th immediately deflated.
Fine, she had said all that for nothing.
Chen Mu found the scene rather amusing. "Don't worry. Nothing will happen. The Stellaron inside Stelle is very stable."
"If even you say so, Chen Mu, then there definitely won't be a problem."
March 7th's eyes lit up as she said this as though it were only natural.
Even Dan Heng let out a sigh of relief.
"But this person is way too pitiful. Not only does she have amnesia, but she also has a bomb inside her..."
March 7th muttered softly. She did not let anyone hear her, and her gaze toward Stelle was filled with sympathy.
Stelle grew uncomfortable under March 7th's gaze and shifted closer to Chen Mu.
Seeing this, March 7th remarked emotionally, "Stelle really relies on you, Chen Mu."
At those words, Stelle's face flushed slightly, but she did not deny it.
Meanwhile,
somewhere in the void outside the Space Station,
inside a Small Shuttle,
the figures of Kafka and Silver Wolf, who had escaped from Chen Mu's hands, slowly emerged.
"The mission is finally complete. This is the first time I've felt a mission was this difficult."
Silver Wolf sounded somewhat exhausted as she spoke wistfully.
But after she finished,
she received no response from Kafka. Seeing Kafka deep in thought, she asked in surprise,
"What's wrong, Kafka?"
"Hmm... For some reason, I feel like I've lost a very important role."
Kafka thought for a moment before speaking.
She felt that it had been very important to her. Her heart even ached a little now.
"An important role?"
Silver Wolf paused, then suddenly understood. "Oh, you mean you didn't get to say much to Stelle? But given the situation, there was nothing we could do.
I don't know why Chen Mu let us wake Stelle up, but based on what I know about him, he was probably interested himself, so he simply went along with it.
But if we finished what interested him and still didn't leave, I doubt he would have minded keeping us there."
"Yes, I know."
Kafka nodded and sighed.
But even if that was true,
heartache was still heartache, and regret was still regret.
After all, Stelle had been created by her.
"Don't worry. It's not like we won't have chances to meet Stelle again. If there's something you want to say, just tell her then. Chen Mu won't be there to get in your way."
Silver Wolf said indifferently.
Stelle would be boarding the Stellaron Express in the future, while Chen Mu belonged to the Space Station.
If they encountered Stelle anywhere outside the Space Station, Chen Mu naturally would not be there to interfere.
"That's all we can do." Kafka nodded, thinking that made sense.
Although she regretted not meeting Stelle this time, they would meet eventually.
Kafka looked in the direction of the Space Station and thought to herself.
"Whatever happens, let's head back first."
Silver Wolf said as she operated the Small Shuttle.
"Mm."
Kafka had no objections.
There had indeed been far too many unexpected developments this time.
They needed to return and discuss things with Elio.
March 7th: Does Anyone Understand This?
Even without March 7th saying it,
Chen Mu could tell that Stelle was very dependent on him.
It was probably because he had been the first person she saw when she woke up.
Although Chen Mu felt somewhat helpless about it, he did not find it troublesome.
After all, Stelle liked him. Why would he be unhappy about that?
"Since this girl named Stelle has awakened, Mr. Chen Mu and Miss Stelle should head to the Main Control Section to take shelter."
Dan Heng looked at the foolishly dazed March 7th, helplessly stood up, and got down to business.
"March 7th, you'll take Mr. Chen Mu and Miss Stelle there. No problem, right?"
"No problem, no problem. Piece of cake!"
March 7th patted her chest and answered confidently.
Dan Heng held his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. The more March 7th acted like this, the less reassured he felt.
But there was no other choice now.
"Mm. Be more serious and stop fooling around. March 7th, you know Mr. Chen Mu's value, right? And Miss Stelle... I don't think I need to say more."
Dan Heng repeated himself solemnly.
"Yes! Mission guaranteed!"
March 7th's expression turned serious as she made the same promise again.
Dan Heng: "..."
The interaction between the two of them
made Stelle smile faintly from the side.
"Aren't you coming back with us, Dan Heng?"
Chen Mu chuckled before asking.
"No, I still need to check on the other victims in the Space Station." Dan Heng shook his head.
"If that's what you mean, I've already taken care of it," Chen Mu said.
Dan Heng: "Hm?"
Dan Heng froze where he stood.
Hearing Chen Mu's words, March 7th's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Huh, huh, huh?!! Chen Mu, you took care of it?!!"
Chen Mu nodded. "Yes. The Voidrangers in the Space Station have basically been eliminated by me, and I've also confirmed the safety of the victimized researchers."
"But, but... weren't you supposed to be really weak?"
March 7th blurted out what was on her mind in disbelief.
But she quickly realized something was wrong and hurriedly added,
"I didn't say that! Himeko said it. She said that your talent in research was unmatched, but you weren't good at combat because you didn't have the power of any Aeon..."
Dan Heng rubbed his forehead upon hearing March 7th.
You just sold Himeko out like that?
And while that was roughly what she meant, that was not how Himeko had put it at the time.
"...This is the world's misunderstanding of researchers. Who said that researchers without power are helpless?"
Chen Mu was speechless and could not help but say so.
Even if he had not fused with that Spatial Power, he was confident that with technology alone, his strength would not be inferior to anyone's.
Everyone in this world thought that lacking a Path meant being weak. They truly understood far too little about technology.
March 7th: "..."
Dan Heng: "..."
March 7th and Dan Heng were even more speechless.
Wasn't it perfectly normal to think that a researcher, especially one without a Path, was helpless?
No matter how they thought about it, weren't Chen Mu's thoughts the strange ones?
March 7th and Dan Heng looked at Chen Mu with stunned expressions.
They could not understand how he had done it.
Chen Mu was actually that powerful?
But since Chen Mu had said so, Dan Heng naturally joined them in their actions.
The four of them set off together.
Before leaving,
Chen Mu picked up that classic Baseball Bat and handed it to Stelle.
Stelle happily accepted it. After trying a few swings, she found it fit her hand perfectly.
Along the way,
March 7th was extremely enthusiastic.
She crowded around Stelle, chattering away about who knew what while explaining things Stelle did not know.
