Apocalypse Rebirth: Crazy from Day One

Chapter 440: Chapter 450: I’m Not an Ordinary Person

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

The woman sitting in the ruins was a complete stranger; her face was one they had never seen before, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.

But that wasn’t the reason for their shock.

Although they had never seen her face, as the only stranger in the base, her familiar attire made them recognize her almost immediately. This strange woman was none other than the arrogant, wild, masked woman from before—Stella Sterling.

Only, the mask on her face was gone, revealing her true features underneath.

They were beyond shocked, unable to believe it!

She was actually still alive. Not just alive, but perfectly fine. It seemed she didn’t even have a single wound; only her clothes were a little torn from the recent explosion.

The mask, it seemed, had been shattered by the blast, but other than that, she hadn’t changed at all.

"I must be seeing things!!!"

"Damn it, is this woman some kind of monster? How can she survive a direct hit from a shell?"

"In broad daylight... Don’t tell me I’m actually seeing a ghost?"

For a moment, everyone was exclaiming in shock. The scene they had witnessed today was simply too staggering.

Everyone had been certain the masked woman would die, yet they never imagined she would survive.

This completely defied their imagination!

Aside from "seeing ghosts," they couldn’t find any other words to describe the scene before them.

At that moment, a sliver of fear even flashed through many of their minds. They recalled tales of horrifying incidents and couldn’t help but shiver.

But they quickly shook their heads, casting aside the absurd thought. It was broad daylight, the temperature was high, and the sun was blazing. Even if she were a real ghost, she couldn’t possibly appear at a time like this!

However, this realization did nothing to lessen their fear. In fact, it terrified them even more.

If she was human, then her abilities were far too frightening. Not even an artillery shell could kill her.

If that couldn’t kill her, what could?

As everyone came to this realization, their hearts filled with terror. Even the conviction they held moments before was now crumbling bit by bit.

They murmured in a panic, their voices thick with undisguised fear.

Selene Larkin was also utterly shocked, a horrified expression on her face. The few people beside her wore the same look.

This was especially true for River Larkin. He was more shocked than anyone. ’Is this person unkillable?’

For a long time, everyone was trapped in a state of fear.

A shadow of dread loomed over them, refusing to dissipate.

Just then, Stella Sterling stood up. She dusted off her hands and said with a hint of resignation, "See? I told you I’m unkillable, but you just wouldn’t believe me. This young lady never lies!"

Selene Larkin swallowed hard, the shock still churning in her chest.

But she had calmed down a little by now. Hearing the fearful murmurs around her, she snapped, "All of you, shut up! Look at yourselves. She’s just a little faster, that’s all. She was quick to dodge."

That was how she explained it to herself, recalling the woman’s uncanny speed when she’d snatched their guns earlier.

’Who knows if that was her limit? It’s not impossible that she escaped at the last second with her speed and sharp reflexes.’

At this thought, her expression darkened viciously. ’This woman is ridiculously hard to kill. Even that didn’t work.’

Doubt began to creep into her heart. Even if the woman was right here inside their base, did they really have any way to deal with her?

If she could maintain that speed, they truly had no way to capture her.

And by then, their own base would be in utter chaos.

A sense of powerlessness washed over her at the thought.

The situation had become exactly as the woman had said: they couldn’t kill her!

’No wonder this woman is so arrogant. She really has the skill to back it up. I’ve been underestimating her this whole time.’

Hearing this, Stella raised an eyebrow. ’She’s not wrong. I really did survive thanks to my extreme speed.’

She chuckled, her tone filled with even more amusement. "Alright, no more jokes. To tell you the truth, I’m not an ordinary person..."

Upon hearing this, the people of Sanctyr Base, who had yet to calm down, stared with wide eyes.

’Not an ordinary person? Then what is she?’

Thinking about all the strange things surrounding her, a thought flashed through their minds. ’Could she be a goddess from the heavens?!’

If anyone else had said such a thing, they would never have believed it; they might have even laughed in their face. But after witnessing this woman’s abilities firsthand, they suddenly felt that she might really be a goddess. It was the only explanation for how she could survive an explosion like that.

When Selene Larkin heard Stella Sterling’s words, she first froze, then stifled a laugh. She was just about to call her out for talking nonsense.

But suddenly, she heard someone in the base cry out, "We greet the goddess! We greet the goddess!"

As that voice rang out, several others followed suit, dropping to their knees and kowtowing in Stella Sterling’s direction, excitedly shouting, "Goddess!"

Stella Sterling had only been spouting nonsense to mess with them. She never expected anyone to actually believe her.

’I really want to laugh out loud,’ she thought. ’For things to have turned out like this... it’s actually pretty funny.’

She was just about to speak when she felt a change in her body. A certain power was silently surging into her.

Then, she felt her own power grow a little stronger.

And within her personal space, the mist grew denser.

Her expression flickered for a second. She had noticed the changes within her body and her personal space instantly.

’These changes... they seem to have happened right when those people started calling me a goddess.’

After a moment of careful thought, Stella Sterling understood.

The smile on her face deepened. ’I can’t believe a random bit of nonsense would have such an unexpected effect.’

It also made her realize something. ’So, this is another way to do it.’

Meanwhile, when Selene Larkin saw how her subordinates were acting, her face turned ugly.

She roared, "Are you all pig-headed? She’s just an ordinary person! How can you actually believe what she says? You’re all fools!"
