On Everwinter Ridge, after a brief spell of doubt and explanation, everyone believed Stelle's account.
Stelle began relaying Chu Mu's words.
This time, she changed nothing, repeating every word exactly.
At that moment, Stelle was Chu Mu's spokesperson.
She looked at Welt and said:
"I understand that this would be an invaluable Research Subject. If we gave it to Herta, the results might change the fate of many civilizations. But I have reasons why I must destroy it. I'm sorry. You saved Belobog, yet I have nothing to offer you in return. Please forgive my selfishness."

After all, it was unlike an ordinary person's will. The Stellaron Will was a twisted amalgamation of countless memories, like a vast, boundless ocean.
