The matter of creating a body for herself
was something 'Star-shatterer' had never stopped thinking about.
The system gave absolutely no indication whether it would create a suitable body for her in the future.
She couldn't possibly wander around for hundreds or thousands of years, constantly adopting strange identities.
She wasn't made of iron; if she kept this up, she would eventually die of exhaustion.
Of course, even if she found the real Ruan Mei,
she didn't necessarily have to solve the problem during this impersonation run.
After all, in an initial meeting, she wouldn't dare reveal her secrets to a genius.
If anything, when it came to a matter of life and death,
'Star-shatterer' believed caution was necessary.
Facing Acheron, letting her know she was a soul entity was acceptable.
After all, the most dangerous Nihility was single-handedly defended against by the system's massive power.
But letting Ruan Mei or Herta casually study her while she was in soul form...
That was too much of a gamble.
Those two... heaven knows what they would do to her if their curiosity was piqued.
Since her boss Nanook's bounty had temporarily alleviated the life-or-death crisis,
she could prioritize building a relationship and only implement the plan after establishing sufficient trust.
Such an important matter couldn't be rushed.
However,
since she was impersonating Ruan Mei,
she could probably balance causing trouble with pursuing her own research goals.
She needed an idea that could address both her own needs and create a major commotion.
'Star-shatterer' couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
She racked her brain, searching for any life form that might meet her needs.
She had no doubts about Ruan Mei's super-intelligence accomplishing the goal.
And even if Ruan Mei truly couldn't handle it alone,
there was still Madam Herta.
If worse came to worst, she could seek out Madam Herta.
Being flexible and adaptable was a principle of survival.
...
As for what to do with the Ruan Mei character card,
'Star-shatterer' currently lacked inspiration.
Taking advantage of the remaining time, she decided to wander the cosmos.
To broaden her horizons.
Of course.
She also made sure to check online data, looking for any recorded strange life forms in the universe.
As for Penacony,
just as 'Star-shatterer' had planned, she would not interfere excessively.
The seed had been planted.
She would witness Penacony's changes in the future.
Perhaps when she caused enough trouble,
and when she drew Black Swan,
she could even arrange an abstract 'viewing comparison' for fun.
Hmm... if the opportunity arises.
'Star-shatterer's mind drifted with these scattered thoughts.
She began to wander along the star map.
And the more she saw, the more she felt that the Path Zealots were truly too abstract.
People like the Annihilation Gang Lords, Star-stealers, or Gravekeepers—the truly insane ones.
'Star-shatterer' felt that compared to the Annihilation Gang Lords, these zealots destroyed things with more arbitrary abandon.
The Interastral Peace Corporation seemed positively benign compared to these zealots.
No wonder boss Nanook thought this kind of world should be destroyed.
He was clearly traumatized by the zealots.
'Star-shatterer' was so shocked by these zealots that she instinctively referred to Nanook as "boss."
...
At the entrance to the abyss of Nihility.
'Star-shatterer' sat quietly beside Acheron, gazing at the hands reaching out of the sea.
"What is it? It's rare to see your face so clouded with confusion."
Acheron also sat on a reef, shoulder-to-shoulder with 'Star-shatterer'.
She was curious why 'Star-shatterer' had suddenly returned.
And was now lost in thought here.
"No, just thinking about what to do next."
'Star-shatterer' gently leaned her weight against Acheron.
Then she spoke about her recent travels.
"Mei-jie, my true age is actually less than a hundred years. These chaotic zealots are genuinely shocking to me."
Previously, 'Star-shatterer' had thought her own actions were quite significant.
But compared to these zealots, her actions seemed rather ordinary.
She surmised that the massive gains this time
were primarily due to attracting Xipe's attention and the internal conflict between the Annihilation Gang Lords.
Acheron smiled, pursing her lips at 'Star-shatterer's words.
She raised her hand and stroked 'Star-shatterer's head.
"The term 'zealot' is quite fitting."
'Star-shatterer' supported her chin with her fair hand, curling her body up.
Her beautiful body line was visible only to Acheron.
"So I was thinking, the Galaxy Rangers are too few, and they aren't violent enough."
"What do you mean? Are you planning to increase the number of Galaxy Rangers?"
Acheron blinked, looking at 'Star-shatterer'.
But 'Star-shatterer' shook her head.
"No, the Galaxy Rangers have their own way of life. I want to create a similar group, but larger in scale and influence."
"How will you create it? What identity will you impersonate next?"
"A genius. A genius specializing in life sciences: Ruan Mei."
Acheron heard this and pursed her lips:
"Are you not afraid of being hunted this time? Don't forget Madam Herta is still watching you."
"Well... I haven't been caught yet, and Ruan Mei's temperament is better than Herta's, right? Probably?"
'Star-shatterer' rubbed her chin.
Herta was blunt and capricious, often spoke sarcastically, and didn't hold grudges for long.
Ruan Mei was internally a bit eccentric but generally gentle. She just avoided social interaction and resisted forming relationships with others.
She felt that if Ruan Mei found her,She would likely pull me into a brainstorming session; at least she wouldn't try to lock me in a basement.
If she had to mention danger,
there was the unpredictable Qingque, whose personality was unknown but seemed quite chaotic.
And,
'Star-shatterer' wasn't sure if she should look forward to drawing a character like Polka Kakamond.
Her ability of Omniscience was powerful, but she herself was extremely dangerous.
She would use causality to kill you at the slightest disagreement.
Acheron looked at 'Star-shatterer's attitude.
She didn't know whether to call it ignorance is bliss or monumental audacity.
But regardless, Acheron rather liked Baiming's existence.
And seeing Acheron remain silent, 'Star-shatterer' began to talk about her plan.
As she listened...
Acheron's expression became subtle.
"It sounds like it's the materialization of hope and miracles. It's almost..."
"Almost like a cosmic vigilante, right?"
'Star-shatterer' smiled, looking at Acheron.
Hearing 'Star-shatterer's reply,
Acheron hesitated with a subtle expression before finally nodding.
Actually, that wasn't what she meant to say.
She meant to say.
It's almost like opening up an entirely new Path, one that represents all hope and miracles.
Could Ruan Mei truly accomplish something like that?
Acheron was somewhat doubtful.
Even among geniuses,
only the First Seat created Nous, establishing the Path of Erudition.
No one since had achieved such a great feat.
