Probably because the [Equilibrium] of this universe hasn't died yet, after seeing one explosive scene after another, the content in the film suddenly became unusually peaceful.
Until—
Tap tap tap—
This was a pitch-black room with the lights off, relying entirely on a huge display screen for faint illumination.
A silver-haired girl sat in a gaming chair, leisurely slurping instant noodles from the cup in her hand. Her gaze was fixed dead on the screen. Whenever a red dot appeared on "Messages," she would immediately put down the noodle cup and reply at lightning speed.
This was a war without smoke, and the battlefield was located in the comment section of the latest video from an UP named "An Ordinary Purple Researcher."
—Not showing face means it's AI!
—I seriously suspect the UP's genius certification was capital packaging!
—Whose genius acts like such a clown?
Comments were sent rapidly from different accounts.
[Silver Wolf: Ohhh? As expected of me, even in another universe I can still argue with a genius! Appraisal complete, this is a good universe.]
[Kafka: Baby~ you wouldn't want to lose every game in the future, right?]
[Silver Wolf: …It's not that good either.]
[Big Herta: Yo? Little girl, did you get your account back?]
[Silver Wolf: ??? Are you a bot? Is that the only line you know?]
[Big Herta: Yo? Little girl, did you get your account back?]
[Silver Wolf: ??? Appraised as a pure bot.]
[Big Herta: Yo? Little girl, did you get your account back?]
[Silver Wolf: …Can we stop talking about the account already?]
[Big Herta: Let me see… Your game account data is abnormal, browsing history "What should girls who aren't developing eat"… Hmm? And what is this Great Love Wolf Lord again?]
[Silver Wolf: !!! F-Fine, let's talk about the account then… (Elio emoji·furious)]
[Big Herta: Yo? Little girl, did you get your account back?]
[Silver Wolf: IXXXX]

[Big Herta: Heh, fighting me?]
[Herta No.4: Lady Herta is unparalleled in the world, Lady Herta is peerless in beauty!]
[Herta No.5: Lady Herta is supremely intelligent, Lady Herta is both wise and brave!]
[Stelle: ??? @Herta Didn't you already ban the robot's account? How are there more?]
[Big Herta: Simple, I just create a few more. (Herta emoji·effortless)]
[Asta: Emmm… A top hacker like Silver Wolf can probably only be easily handled by Lady Herta… But who is this universe's Silver Wolf arguing with? Could it be Mr. Screwllum again? But the ID doesn't look like it…]
[Screwllum: Not me; Logic: I have no connection to elements such as "ordinary" or "purple." From the ID, this appears to be a rather low-key genius.]
[Big Herta: Oh, that would be Stephen. Other geniuses can't even contact me, let alone this little girl.]
[Stephen: !!!]
["Stephen" exited the livestream]
[Big Herta: Sigh… How old are you already?]
[Big Herta: Sometimes I really don't understand. Are words like confidence, success, pride, and omnipotence really that unattainable for others? Although I am indeed perfect, a realm ordinary people cannot reach… Sigh, never mind. It's not your fault.]
[Asta: !!! @Big Herta Lady Herta, look at the livestream quick!]
[Big Herta: Hmm? What's wrong?]
The scene shifted, and "An Ordinary Purple Researcher" showed their face. It was an incomparably perfect and stunning visage. The teary-eyed appearance was even more pitiable, but… it looked somewhat familiar?
Stelle's brain was also a bit stuck at the moment. She frowned as she stared at the face that looked like it was about to cry and muttered, "Human, female, young, beautiful, cute… pointy hat, purple, Herta face… This is Herta?"
But how could Herta's face show such an expression?
"Wuuu… Everyone stop scolding me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry~ It's all my fault. I knew I couldn't do anything right. I'm just a failure www—"
"From today onward I will honestly and humbly study. I won't be able to post videos for a while wuuu (sobbing)"
Seeing this, a delighted smile instantly appeared on Silver Wolf's little face. Huge joy drove her to stand up on the chair right then and there as she laughed out loud!
Silver Wolf put her hands on her hips and laughed: "That's right! It was me… I defeated Herta! I saved the cheat world!"
"I accomplished what countless hackers couldn't! I have surpassed all hackers in galactic history!"
"This is my Silver Wolf power, my Silver Wolf destiny, my Silver Wolf ideal…"
"This is the real me! Ahahahahaha—"
"Ahahahahaha…"
[Silver Wolf: Ahahahahahaha, ahahahahahaha—!]
[Silver Wolf: I'm dying of laughter hahaha, dying of laughter hahaha. Herta, you finally have a day like this, huh?]
[Silver Wolf: That's right, that's right. It was me who defeated Herta!]
[Welt: Why does this line sound strangely familiar…? Is it just me?]
[Ruan Mei: (emoji·light smile)]
[Ruan Mei: Herta, keep going.]
[Stelle: 666 This universe's Silver Wolf is so ruthless? She actually defeated Herta? (Pom-Pom emoji·shocked)]
[March 7th: Wait… Isn't the main point why Lady Herta would show that kind of expression and say those kinds of words?]
[March 7th: @Big Herta Lady Herta, are you okay?]
[Big Herta: Outrageous… This is simply outrageous! Who is it? Who is the scriptwriter of this film?!]
[Big Herta: @Herta Team Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!]
[Big Herta: @Silver Wolf Hmph, it's just a piece of fictional history. What's there to be proud of? You think I would care?]
[Silver Wolf: Yeah yeah yeah, you don't care. "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm just a failure~ I can't do anything right~" Ahahahahaha—!]
[Big Herta: …]
If looks could shoot lasers, Herta's phone would probably have been blasted into slag by now. If blue pills existed in this world, Herta would probably have downed a whole box.
Herta basically never gets angry. As a genius who has succeeded for who knows how many lifetimes, ordinary negative emotions basically don't affect her.
Failure? Interesting. There hasn't been anything in the entire galaxy that could make Herta fail.
Setback? What is that?
Blow? Where would it come from?
Even when facing Zandar, the first seat of the Genius Society only made Herta symbolically say "senior," and that was it.
Herta doesn't care about any external influence. If she has any flaw, it's that she refuses to admit she is not perfect.
Only Herta herself can affect Herta.
Therefore, when Herta saw another universe's "self" actually crying and apologizing, that heart that had always been high above and fearless suffered its first impact.
Come on, you're Herta!
You're a genius!
You're perfect!
How could you be scolded to tears by that little girl?!
[Silver Wolf: @Big Herta What's wrong, not talking means you admit it? Hmm? Ahahahahaha—]
[Silver Wolf: ? Wait?]
[Silver Wolf: My account! Herta you don't follow martial ethics, you actually secretly hacked my account!]
