Herta’s declaration of war in the name of “daughter” was like an absolute zero ray spanning the starry sea, instantly freezing all surging undercurrents in the universe.
For the Stellaron Hunters, this was the most straightforward warning and the craziest provocation.
For the Interstellar Peace Corporation, this was a major geopolitical event that required an immediate reassessment of risk levels.
And for the Herta Space Station itself, this declaration brought a tsunami-like, absolute silence and awe.
The next day, when Lilith was led by the hand by Herta out of the Laboratory that had witnessed countless crazy concepts, she felt the power of this “silence” intuitively for the first time.
In the corridor, several researchers in a hurry were holding data pads and discussing something intensely; when they saw Herta and Lilith beside her, their voices stopped abruptly.
Those elites, who were usually arrogant and looked down on mortals, had their expressions change from “intense discussion” to “terrified” in 0.1 seconds.
They almost subconsciously stepped back, then suddenly bowed 90 degrees, burying their heads deep, as if looking at the little silver-haired figure for one more second would be a blasphemy worthy of being sent to the dissection table.
Until Herta and Lilith walked far away, they dared to stand up, but still did not dare to make any sound, just watching the figure led by Herta, like a princess inspecting her territory, with eyes full of awe and fear.
‘What the hell…’ Lilith thought wildly, ‘With this lineup, if you didn’t know, you’d think it was a tyrant from an ancient dynasty out on an inspection with the first heir.’ ‘Yesterday I was just an interesting mascot, today it has advanced to a holy relic that needs to be worshiped?
Herta’s declaration is too powerful!’ On the surface, she just curled her lips slightly, her delicate little face full of boredom and impatience, as if saying “You mortals are really making a fuss.” This contrast made the researchers who were peeking from the corners of their eyes more convinced of the rumor—this “daughter” personally certified by Lady Herta not only possessed wisdom comparable to an Aeon, but also possessed the same disdain and arrogance toward stupid humans as Herta.
Herta ignored everything around her.
She just enjoyed this absolute sense of control, enjoyed the pleasure of everyone looking at the “treasure” beside her with awe, but not daring to have any covetous thoughts.
She did not take Lilith to any public area, but went directly to the top floor of the entire Space Station by private elevator.
“Ding—” The elevator door opened, and what appeared before Lilith was no longer cold metal and circuits, but a completely independent, suffocatingly luxurious pavilion in the air.
Here, there was a main control room that could directly overlook the operation of the entire Space Station, a rest area filled with soft sofas and holographic entertainment equipment, an indoor ecological garden simulating gentle sunshine and babbling brooks, and even a huge private observatory with a dome that could be completely opened to face the vast starry sea.
“From today on, your range of activities is limited to here.” Herta’s voice sounded calmly.
She let go of Lilith’s hand and walked to the console, entering a series of complex commands.
Hum— A pale blue energy barrier rose from the edge of the entire top floor like water waves, instantly covering every inch of space.
“I have configured independent life support systems, energy supplies, and the Space Station’s highest-level’Sanctuary’-class physical and information dual barriers for this place.” Herta turned around, looking at Lilith who was curiously looking around.
There was no expression on her face, but her gorgeous purple pupils carried a kind of heart-stopping paranoia and satisfaction.
“Now, this is your kingdom,” she said slowly, word by word, “And I am your only citizen.” ‘Here it comes!
Classic yandere lines!’ Lilith’s inner alarm bells rang, and the barrage of complaints was already falling like a waterfall.
‘What kingdom and citizen, isn’t it just a prison and a prison guard!
It’s just that this prison is made of gold, and the prison guard is the final BOSS!
You really know how to play!’ She put her hands on her small waist, raised her face, and spoke in a deliberately picky tone: “Huh?
What a boring dictatorship game.” “And the taste of the flowers in this garden is so bad, I don’t like them.” This tsundere and picky look, instead of annoying Herta, made her strong desire for exclusivity greatly satisfied.
This is exactly what she wanted.
This unique treasure that belonged only to her should be so unscrupulous, revealing all her likes and dislikes only to herself.
“Change them if you don’t like them.” Herta’s tone carried a touch of pampering she hadn’t even noticed, “The plant specimens of the entire galaxy are in the database.
Whichever one you take a fancy to, I will plant it for you.” She walked up to Lilith, squatted down, and looked at her at eye level.
“Is there anything else you’re not satisfied with?” “The bed is too hard.” Lilith bluffed, continuing to play her picky little devil persona.
“I have already asked the ‘Interstellar Peace Corporation’ to air-freight the top-tier dream-building cushions from Penacony, and they will arrive within twelve hours.” “The air here is too dry.” ————————
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
