Eden's Peculiarity

Cocolia just controlled the child by manipulating that chip.

Having discovered that Bronya was inside this giant mech, Gwen naturally wouldn't ignore it—

Although the Corona Beam Corona Light just now cleaved the mech along with its shield, it skillfully dodged Bronya and saved her.

However, it seems that Bronya has fallen into a coma due to her battle with Cocolia.

After learning from the battle report that Bronya had not caused any casualties to the Valkyrie of the Far East Branch, Gwen simply placed her in the position of the poor girl who had been deceived and controlled by Cocolia, in order to reduce some unnecessary trouble.

"What!"

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Theresa was immediately taken aback, a look of worry appearing on her small face. She quickly stepped forward and took Bronya from Gwen's hands.

"I'll leave this child in your care for now."

Seeing Theresa accept Bronya, Gwen nodded slightly, stood up, spread his wings of light, and took to the air.

Where are you going?

Seeing this, Theresa handed Bronya, whom she was holding, to the medical staff who had just come down from the Hyperion and asked loudly.

Although her identity had not yet been confirmed, Theresa was basically certain of Gwen's identity from that familiar voice, and thus lowered her guard.

"Go and execute Cocolia, that culprit, on the spot."

Leaving those words behind, Gwen vanished before everyone's eyes in a streak of light—

While handing Bronya over to Theresa, Gwen maintained contact with Destiny Headquarters and learned that Cocolia's location had been found. Naturally, he wouldn't let her continue to cause trouble and directly requested her annihilation.

As Gwen's application was approved and they sped towards Cocolia's location following the navigation, Otto, whose atmosphere had eased considerably in the command center, did not show the relaxed expression of the others, but instead wore a thoughtful look.

"Your Lord Bishop, this is the specific data when Gwen launched his attack. It combines satellite observations with data transmitted back from the Hyperion on site, and it has high reference value."

Sending the result, which even surpassed the peak power of Siegfried 'Heavenly Fire Judgment from over a decade ago, to Otto, Amber looked at Otto's calm expression, and her relaxed heart suddenly tightened again. For some reason, she recalled the scene from over a decade ago when Otto ordered the emptying of the Honkai Fission Bomb inventory.

"Um..."

After receiving the data, Otto looked at the data in the report, his eyes flickering slightly.

Without a doubt, following Siegfried, another dangerous factor has emerged in the world.

Moreover, compared to Siegfried, whose fate was somewhat traceable, the Gwen was piloting at this moment and the non- Honkai power he was using were obviously much more uncertain.

However, compared to Siegfried, Gwen was much more obedient.

While not nearly as naive (or easily fooled) as Durandal, she is still entirely within a controllable range.

At least, even with this level of power, they would still report in real time before taking action, instead of acting recklessly like someone else.

And...

Otto closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his gaze was calm and still, showing no signs of wavering. He had made his decision.

Noticing the subtle change in Otto's emotions at the head of the table, Amber, who knew Otto intimately, felt a jolt of fear and was worried about Otto's next command.

Fortunately, Amber waited a moment but did not receive Otto's secret order. Instead, she saw Otto walk slowly out of the command room with his hands behind his back.

Meanwhile, at the Anti-Entropy Far East base, Cocolia, her eyes blazing, smashed everything in the room to pieces, hysterically venting her emotions.

Why!

Why is Bronya the traitor?

Betrayed by the person she trusted most—something that only happens to clowns— Cocolia couldn't accept this reality, even though she believed she would soon be in control of everything.

Just as Cocolia was venting her emotions in the room, the door was suddenly opened, and a young man rushed in anxiously.

Before the young man could say anything, Cocolia had already swung her sidearm at him, making him dizzy and disoriented.

"Who let you in?"

Get out!

Even though this was a young man she once admired, Cocolia showed no politeness whatsoever at this moment.

"Lady Cocolia, the communications team reports that our contact with Changkong City has been monitored and is being listened to. It is no longer safe here. Please evacuate immediately."

Even though his vision was blurring, the young man did not immediately leave as Cocolia had instructed, but instead persisted in reporting.

However, the young man's words had no positive effect whatsoever; on the contrary, they added fuel to the fire, making Cocolia even angrier.

"Suka!"

Waste!

Big eater!

A bunch of idiots!

Shouting and cursing, Cocolia grabbed another pistol from the table and threw it at the young man, but in her anger she lost her aim and hit him on the bridge of his nose, smashing his face into a bloody mess.

Just as Cocolia was burning with rage, and her confidants hesitated to move forward out of fear of punishment, with only the basic units still functioning, a streak of light streaked across the sky and arrived above the base.

"This is Gwen. We have arrived at the target location and have located the Anti-Entropy base. We are requesting assistance in locating Cocolia."

Gwen circled the base amidst the sudden blaring of air raid sirens, determined to stop anyone attempting to escape.

Once it lands, it could very well give Cocolia a chance to escape.

Since we have the backing of Schicksal, why not make full use of it?

"Map transmission in progress. According to the retrieved surveillance footage, Cocolia most likely currently in the marked room. Please proceed with caution."

Chapter 237 The Strangeness of Eden

"Receive."

After receiving the information from headquarters, Gwen quickly located Cocolia by comparing the map with the actual base.

The next moment, Gwen, who had been circling the base, flew down, holding the Corona Sword horizontally in front of him, ignoring the anti-air fire that was being laid out towards him.

Rumble...

Amidst the incessant explosions of anti-aircraft missiles, Gwen, engulfed in flames, crashed into the base. With a sweep of his Corona Sword, he cleaved a room, which had been specially designed for defense from the very beginning, in two, sending the roof flying and revealing the mess inside and the woman looking up in terror.

"Target spotted!"

Having successfully found the culprit, Gwen's expression was indifferent as he swung the Corona Sword, which had just ripped the roof off, downwards.

Gwen beheaded Cocolia put up a desperate struggle or make a fool of herself.

"Cocolia is dead. Those who surrender will not be killed!"

With a flick of his wrist, the blood stained the sword blade was shaken off. Gwen watched as the base instantly boiled over, and his words, carrying immense mental pressure, fell, causing many panicked people to faint instantly.

When the Hyperion from the Far East Branch and the people from the Far East branch arrived here together following the navigation, they found a base that had quieted down and was almost intact except for a few minor damages.

Let the receiving base of Schicksal decide who here will die and who can live. Gwen didn't say much. He spread his wings of light and soared into the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight like Giant of Light leaving the stage. He then quietly appeared on the deck of the Hyperion.

"Call..."

Feeling an unprecedented surge of power within his body, Gwen and carefully moved his body around.

As Gwen stretched and walked into the cabin, Eden's voice of praise echoed in his mind—

"Gwen, you did a great job..."

"Um?"

Gwen paused slightly, wondering why Eden had suddenly said that.

"I thought you would destroy this place like Gwen did just now, but you only killed the ringleader and left the others to live."

Eden readily agreed with Gwen's question and explained with a smile.

"After all, these are individual families, and they will join Anti-Entropy. Among them, there may be many who are driven by fame and fortune, but there will also be some who are simply kind and good-hearted—"

At least the lower-ranking soldiers probably had no idea what atrocities their leaders had committed.

Although they could be considered accomplices, their crime did not warrant the death penalty.

Upon hearing Eden's explanation, Gwen understood and slowly explained,

"Wouldn't it be a great pity if someone who was simply Honkai by hatred and joined the Anti-Entropy died as a result?"

Since I have the ability to easily suppress all resistance, why not give them a chance?

"I see..."

Upon hearing Gwen's reply, "Eden" suddenly realized,

"As expected, Gwen, you're a good person..."

"Ha...

It was just a small act of kindness within my means...

Gwen answered casually, but a sense of unease quietly rose within him—

Although the tone was exactly the same as the Eden that Gwen knew, and the soul fluctuations were not much different, apart from that, this Eden... was almost nothing like Eden.

At least, Gwen had never heard Eden speak in such a light and cheerful tone.

However, now is not the time to investigate Eden's condition. Gwen simply suppressed this doubt in his heart for the time being, intending to wait until he was fully recovered before investigating and making a decision.

Stepping aboard the Hyperion, the corridors were quite empty, as most of the crew had been involved in the reconnaissance and reception of the base below.

Having already informed Theresa and Himeko that he was Gwen and sound through communications, Gwyn, knowing that the two were very busy, did not disturb them but instead planned to check on Mei and Kiana.

After all, Gwyn had promised to lead the girls away from Changkong City, but instead they turned around and jumped onto Schicksal ship of their theoretical enemy. Gwen still needed to do some psychological work with the girls so that they could fully understand his current situation and prepare to face Otto when they returned to headquarters.

However, before Gwen could even reach the room where the two were being housed, he saw three familiar figures in the corridor—

"Mei?

Kiana?

Hui Huo?

Seeing the three of them walking together, Gwen was somewhat bewildered—

What's going on? How did the three of them end up together?

Gwen, you're back!

Upon seeing Gwen, Kiana's eyes lit up immediately. She skipped over to Gwen, touching and examining him from head to toe.

"Mei told me you went to intercept missiles?"

Are you alright?

"If you are injured, you can see me in the ship's medical room."

Gwen tapped the little white fluffy head, which was now calling his name without any hesitation, and replied with a smile. He then looked up at Mei and the Wuse Huohuo who had approached, and waved.

"Mei, Hui Huo, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back..."

Although Mei didn't pounce on Gwyn like Kiana did, she carefully examined Gwen from head to toe and found Gwen apart from a few tears in his clothes, he had no injuries whatsoever. Only then did she put aside her disappointment and worry and reveal a smile.

"You..."

The Wuse Huohuo seemed to want to say something, but in the end, faced with Gwen's smiling face, it swallowed its words and nodded slightly.

"It's good that you're back safe and sound."

Upon hearing this, Gwen, though unsure of what Wuse Huohuo was trying to say, still smiled and nodded.

Meanwhile, Raiden Mei, listening to those words that seemed to contain a lot of emotions, couldn't help but frown, and even the way she looked at the Wuse Huohuo changed slightly.

Kiana, however, was oblivious to all of this, and began excitedly explaining what had just happened to Gwen, the person directly involved—

"Gwen, you just got back, didn't you see? The situation was critical. When that wicked woman Cocolia controlled Bronya and was about to attack us, a red robot suddenly appeared, cleaved that huge robot in two with a single sword strike, rescued Bronya, and even came here to deal with that ungrateful Cocolia!"

It's clear that Kiana remembers two things very clearly: first, that Bronya was controlled by Cocolia; and second, that Cocolia was ungrateful to Cecilia.

"Um?

A red robot?

Although he had just separated from Apollo, and the red robot Kiana mentioned was currently inside Gwen's body, Gwen still cooperated by feigning surprise and starting a conversation...
