The system handed me over to the state.

"Um..."

Blackie nodded in response and then fell silent, letting Bronya wash her body and long hair. An hour later, Blackie was carried out of the bathroom by Bronya. Seele blinked and asked, "Blackie, are you alright?"

"It's nothing... phew..."

Hei hope replied weakly. Bronya put Hei hope on the bed to rest, opened her communication channel, and sent a communication request to Su Xi. After a few seconds, the call was connected, and Bronya immediately asked, "How is the situation? Did you get any information?"

"We got the information we needed. The little one's name is Heloise, and she's a member of the pantheon of the goddess of life. Her appearance there was purely accidental."

"We've located the jamming device and started analyzing it. As for this little one... she said we have lots of good food on board and asked us to prepare a small home for her; she plans to stay here."

Bronya was stunned. "Are you sure?"

"It's confirmed. The first place she chose is the ship's eco-vault, and then my bedroom. She can build herself a little home in the eco-vault using plants, but I'll have to make one for her in my bedroom."

"So I put her in the eco-capsule. Her daily food requirements are very simple: desserts and fruit. She doesn't need anything else. She doesn't eat meat or vegetables, but she can eat desserts and fruit."

"Is it really okay to do this? And about God and all that... are you sure?"

Su Xi fell silent. Just as Bronya was wondering if her communication had broken, Su Xi's voice came through again, "I don't know. To be honest, I don't know if she's some kind of goddess of life or a true god. What I can confirm is that she does possess strange powers."

"She can rapidly grow plants on the decks and in the cabins of ships, and these plants will not affect the operation of the electrical circuits and energy pipelines under the decks. Moreover, they can disappear as soon as they are added, just like entering codes in a game. Once you enter them, they appear, and once you enter them again, they disappear."

"Then, in order to demonstrate her power, she performed a so-called life blessing on all of our crew members. The specifics are still being investigated by our medical department, but I feel... I seem to have become more energetic recently."

Blessing of Life? Bronya turned her head. "Seele, how are you feeling right now?"

"Feelings? No, Bronya, Seele doesn't feel anything. Has something happened?"

Perhaps it's because their physical condition is already strong and they have no ailments, so even receiving the blessing of life has no effect.

"I'm coming to find you. Can we meet at the eco-warehouse?"

"Okay, I'll head over there now."

Bronya disconnected the communication. "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

After saying that, she patted Hei hope's head and said, "Wait for me. You'll feel much better when I get back."

"Um..."

Bronya walked towards the eco-pod and quickly arrived there, where Su Xi was already waiting. Upon seeing her, Su Xi asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

“I want to make Hei hope feel better. After all, she didn’t do it on purpose. I admit we were rude first, so I want to try and get her to help Hei hope.”

"After all, the Goddess of Life should be able to cure a minor physical ailment quite easily, right?"

Su Xi shrugged. "Of course, I've already explained the misunderstanding to her. She has forgiven Hei hope and expressed her understanding. However, in her view, divine punishment is just a form of punishment and doesn't kill people, so she doesn't seem to care much about it."

"Of course God doesn't care. We're not her believers or priests, so what happens to us is none of her business..."

Bronya sighed. This is basically how God treats people. Even when facing his believers, he will at most respond, but otherwise he will do whatever he wants and has no intention of paying attention to them, or sometimes he will just treat them as tools.

Inside the ecological cabin, led by Su Xi, we arrived at the place where Heloise had created her little home—a grape trellis. The little guy had used the grape vines to build himself a home.

"Hello, are you there?"

The vines formed a sphere slightly larger than a basketball on the grape trellis, and there were fixed supports nearby to ensure that the sphere would not cause the trellis to collapse.

Heloise poked her head out from the hole in the sphere. "Hey! It's you guys. What's up?"

"I need your help. The person who was just punished by you is in great pain. If possible, I hope you can help her."

"Mmm...a lollipop!"

Bronya paused for a moment, rummaged through her pocket space, found the lollipop she had saved while shopping on Earth, and handed it to Heloise. Heloise happily took the lollipop, put it back in her little home, and then flew to sit on Bronya's shoulder. "Okay! Let's go!"

Bronya seemed very easy to talk to. She just said a few words and sat down. Was she so easy to talk to because she didn't care about these things, or had she simply forgotten about them?

"You just agreed like that?"

"Huh? Why won't I agree? Someone needs help, why won't I help them?"

"You don't want any tribute, and you don't want to make any demands?"

"Didn't you already give it to me?"

Bronya was stunned, then suddenly realized that in Heloise's eyes, lollipops were tributes, and since she had given her tributes, it was only natural for Heloise to help her.

Perhaps this reflects Heloise's thoughts and attitude.

Together with Su Xi, they took Heloise back to their dormitory. When Hei hope saw the little guy sitting on Bronya's shoulder, she immediately scrambled up from the boat and shrank into a corner, looking terrified.

Even though her head was still throbbing, fear had taken over most of Hei hope's thoughts.

"Hey, don't be afraid of me. Am I that scary? Look how cute I am!"

Heloise stood with her hands on her hips, her little face full of pride, her cicada wings fluttering behind her as if to show how cute she was. But Hei hope didn't think so; she was now terrified that a bolt of lightning would strike her down.

"Hei hope, it's okay. She's here to help you, not to hurt you."

Bronya climbed onto the bed and gently stroked Blackie's head to soothe her. Blackie's expression remained terrified. "Are you sure? Are you sure she came to help me and not to kill me?"

"I don't want to get struck by lightning again!"

"Hmm, that's a passive defense mechanism! It's not something I can control. It's an ability that all true gods possess after birth, and we simply can't control it!"

Heloise felt wronged. She didn't like this passive defense mechanism either, but there was nothing she could do. Whenever someone said or did something offensive to her, she would be punished by the gods.

Although it sounds terrifying, it's actually just a lightning bolt striking you, giving you a mild concussion and teaching you a lesson. Oh, and maybe an afro that changes your appearance.

"really?"

"Really, don't you believe me?"

Bronya was somewhat helpless. It's true what they say, once bitten, twice shy. This little guy will be living in the Nuwa ship from now on. Does that mean he'll run away whenever he sees her?

Moreover, seeing this adorable creature that asks for candy but won't bother you even if you don't get any candy seems like a nice thing.

Most importantly, Heloise is the goddess of life, and the abundant desserts in the ship's supplies can be used to make trades with her to ensure the safety of everyone on board. What a wonderful thing!

Heloise flew to Hei hope and blinked. "Oh! You're the one who was punished by the gods before. Um... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to strike you, it's just that I really couldn't control that thing."

"That's not what you said before..."

Hei hope could never forget Heloise's arrogant laughter when she was struck by lightning, a stark contrast to her current humble demeanor!

"Oh, really! I really didn't mean it. How about I give you my favorite candy? Can you forgive me?"

As she spoke, Heloise conjured up a lollipop out of thin air, and it was a tribute lollipop that she had just gotten from Bronya!

Bronya and Su Xi, who were standing nearby, were stunned. This... the tribute they had just received was given away as a gift!

Hei hope reached out and took the lollipop. Heloise's pitiful and adorable pleading for forgiveness softened Hei hope's heart. Looking at the lollipop in her hand, it looked so familiar... Wasn't this a lollipop she had eaten before?

"How do you like it?"

Heloise flew to Blackie's forehead, her tiny hands pressing against it. Green ripples spread from the point of contact, caressing Blackie's body. The next moment, Blackie felt the discomfort caused by the warp jump and the headache caused by being struck by lightning vanish.

"I...don't hurt anymore..."

Hei hope was quite surprised. She stretched out her hand, and Heloise landed in her palm. She said proudly, "Hmph! I am the Goddess of Life! I can cure all diseases. As long as it is a problem related to life, I can cure it! I am very powerful!"

Chapter 448: Why can't the Goddess of Life eat meat!

"How is the situation?"

"Captain, we have completed the analysis of the jamming device and have begun manufacturing the corresponding anti-jamming device. If nothing unexpected happens, the progress of the Mermaid and the Nightfall should be the same as ours!"

This good news made Su Xi smile. The second assessment item was much simpler than the first, and the process was also very easy. If this continued, they should be able to leave this place smoothly in less than a week.

After turning off the communication, Su Xi looked at Bronya and Hei hope beside her and said with a smile, "It seems we're in good luck. We'll be able to leave this area soon. Within a week, we'll be able to leave this asteroid belt. If we're lucky, we might even set a record or something."

Su Xi remained relatively optimistic. Bronya nodded in agreement; indeed, it was normal to be optimistic in this situation.

Meanwhile, Hei hope was leaning on the table next to her, one hand supporting her chin, and using the other hand to tease Heloise, who was standing in front of her, with a lollipop in her hand.

Before yesterday's counseling, Hei hope no longer felt too burdened and comfortably started playing with Heloise while holding a lollipop.

This is when Hei hope realized that Heloise was actually a single-celled organism. Her mind could only think about what was in front of her. Any attempt to run two threads at once would make Heloise dizzy and unable to think.

So Hei hope no longer held a grudge about the little guy punishing her before; she probably really couldn't control herself back then.

"Little one...why do you like eating candy so much?"

Hei hope was quite curious: why did the Goddess of Life like to eat sweets? Was it a personal preference, or... was it simply her true nature?

"Hmm? Heloise likes desserts, not just candy, but anything sweet. I like it!"

Heloise said that she likes to eat anything sweet. Hei hope was stunned for a moment. "Really? Does that mean she can eat anything as long as it tastes sweet?"

"Are there any foods you can't eat?"

"Theoretically not!"

"In theory?"

"Yes, yes! We are true gods, so we can eat anything, even pure energy or stones, but I like desserts!"

"The dessert is delicious! And it keeps well, so I can hide it and take it out to eat whenever I remember!"

"So where do you usually hide them?"

Isn't this just a hamster? It stores its food and then takes it out to eat when it needs it. Could it be that the goddess of life evolved from a hamster?

"Hmm? What rude thing are you thinking about!"

Heloise immediately noticed the rather impolite thoughts in Hei hope's mind. Hei hope was stunned. "How did you know? I just thought your habit is a bit like a hamster's. Was your Goddess of Life evolved from a hamster?"

Heloise blinked. "I'm warning you, this isn't exactly offensive, but it's very close. If you don't want to be struck by divine punishment again, you'd better watch out!"

"Furthermore, the Goddess of Life did not evolve from a hamster. We are beings born from the origin of the universe, and our purpose in being born is to manage the universe and prevent it from being destroyed by various calamities."

"Then can you manage those things called Cthulhu?"

"Cthulhu? What's that?"

Heloise didn't know what Cthulhu meant when Blackie mentioned it. Just as Blackie was about to explain, Bronya walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, just curious about a small question. How's it going?"

"It's alright, everything is going smoothly, at least for now. If there are no more difficult challenges ahead, we can leave here within a week."

"That's definitely a good thing... Oh, by the way, Heloise, why were you in that satellite? And it seems you've made that place your home, haven't you?"
