The Robin's Worries / New Optional Abilities

"Before I met you, I had a friend who worshipped the Amber King, whose name was Qlipoth."

I heard that name from her.

"..."

The robin, who was searching through his Remembrance, considering how to Gwen to the greatness of the Society and the beauty of the family in order to Robin him to join the Society's great family, paused slightly upon seeing Gwen's reply.

Chapter 247 The Robin's Worries

As mentioned before, even though Robin was trained as a singer because of her childhood hobby, the status of her adoptive father and brother meant that, under their influence, the girl also learned many unspeakable secrets.

For example, although families and companies may appear to be harmonious on the surface, they are actually engaged in various open and covert struggles in different areas.

Of the news and rumors that smeared him, Robin heard from various sources, at least five came from news media companies under the Interstellar Peace Company.

Therefore, although on the surface the dispute seems to be only caused by Penacony's historical issues, even Robin know that the two sides actually have conflicts and competition in many areas.

Although there are many Preservation in the universe, and the factions are not limited to the Interstellar Peace Company, this did not prevent the Robin from instinctively becoming nervous when he heard that Gwen had known a Preservation before him.

If Gwen had indeed met the people from the company first and been misled by their words, then it would have been much Robin to invite Gwen to join the family, let alone become friends with him.

"So Gwen had a friend who believed in the Preservation of the Amber King."

Trying to appear nonchalant, Robin held her phone in both hands, her fingers twisted together behind the screen, a silent testament to the girl's inner turmoil and distress.

"As far as I know, he is a great being who has survived since the ancient Twilight War. He once joined forces with the Star God Xipe, whom we believe in, and other great beings to hunt down the Propagation Worm Emperor Taiz Yuros was ravaging the universe and poisoning all living beings, and solved the Universal Locust Calamity that threatened most of the universe."

"...

You didn't mention a word about Xipe swallowing Taiichi...

Gwen mentally scoffed, but didn't intend to ask directly.

In Gwen's memory, the family's education and propaganda were like a history book of years, full of happy words and joyful tears, without mentioning a single word about the problematic parts. It's normal for a young Robin like him to be fooled.

In contrast, the Robin's noticeably changed tone attracted Gwen's attention more, and after a moment's thought, he gave a reply—

"Yes, although it was a world ravaged by war, as a planet that once connected with the Milky Way, it also has many records about the universe, including those about the Star Gods—"

A mysterious, higher being, like a celestial body with a spirit.

Each is in charge of a different "destiny" and can freely travel between the stars.

They wield immense power to erase reality and create worlds.

"!"

Upon seeing Gwen's reply, Robin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. His fingers, which had been intertwined, quietly relaxed, and the faint blue veins under his fair skin disappeared.

If the Preservation Gwen knew were merely people from an abandoned planet, then the likelihood of them being members of the corporation and slandering other Celestials and factions would be very low.

But in the next moment, the girl suddenly raised her hand and patted her cheek—

"Robin, how can you rejoice over such things?"

After some self-reflection, the Robin finally turned its attention back to the chat interface that was now directly present in its mind.

But right after Gwen's words, he sent another message—

"As for the Robin, you mentioned the same harmony and Xipe..."

By embodying the principles of understanding, support, and cooperation, one should be considered someone inclined towards kindness.

"Call..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Robin finally let out a long sigh of relief. Her rapidly developing breasts heaved, and she relaxed, temporarily setting aside the topic.

"Since you are familiar with the Tongxie Association, you must at least agree with its ideals to some extent."

Among those who followed me to this galaxy are many family members.

Although they are also outsiders, they are not as conspicuous as I am, and with the help of the association, they are able to go into the lower levels to conduct some investigations.

Therefore, I would like to seek your experience to provide some assistance for their upcoming work.

"I see..."

Gwen suddenly understood, but he didn't give the answer the Robin most wanted—

"However, I'm sorry, Miss Robin, although I have some knowledge of theories that can transform an entire civilization, it's only the tip of the iceberg as I mentioned before."

If you need it, I can try to retrieve some relevant information from my Remembrance.

"If it's possible, then I'll trouble you."

The Robin wasn't disappointed by Gwen's reply.

She's not some immature person who doesn't want to think about anything and just wants to copy ready-made templates. The fact that she unexpectedly got this promising idea is already a pleasant surprise, and she shouldn't ask for too much.

"No need to be so polite. We're about the same age, so there's no need for honorifics—"

Seeing the Robin's attitude, Gwen's impression of this girl, who started as a Jailbird and later became his ally in battle, improved even more. He paused for a moment, surprised by her form of address, before continuing to reply.

"As for the knowledge you need, I will organize it for you when I have time later."

However, please remember this before you do:

No matter how advanced or correct the knowledge may be, it can only be learned and referenced; it should never be copied verbatim.

Only by correctly combining accurate and advanced knowledge with local conditions and making timely changes can it truly achieve its intended effect.

As for grassroots investigations... simply going to the streets to ask questions will not yield truly comprehensive information. Only by going deep into the lives of the people, participating in their work, becoming one of them, and integrating with them can you obtain information that can truly help you change the situation there.

The above are mostly my personal opinions and may not be accurate. Please consider them rationally.

"..."

As Gwen read Gwyn's words, the Robin's slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Subconsciously, the Robin felt that perhaps this was the right path for the family's development.

The Gwen also liked Robin's attitude of clearly stating his own views rather than seeking others' agreement with them.

Some of her restless thoughts calmed down, but Robin's mind flowed like a spring. Many questions that her father and brothers had mentioned before seemed to have hope of being resolved, and she wanted to share this joy with them.

Even so, the Robin didn't forget to Gwen—

"Yes, thank you for reminding me. I will keep it in mind."

And, goodnight, Gwen, sweet dreams.

Goodnight, Robin.

Although the Hyperion, Gwen still responded to the girl in the same way.

Chapter 248 New Optional Abilities

"I had a feeling that the Robin's attitude towards me later seemed a little too enthusiastic..."

Having temporarily ended the conversation, Gwen looked at the Robin's avatar, the charming Halovian girl, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

In Gwen's memory, the Robin, though uncouth, perhaps due to his own experiences, also maintained a good sense of social distance.

It neither makes people feel distant, nor does it seem overly enthusiastic; you have to think carefully to discover the sense of distance that the other person is deliberately maintaining.

But in the conversation just now, Gwen did not notice that sense of distance, which could be considered both politeness and self-protection.

"Is it because the Robin hasn't reached that stage in the story yet?"

Looking up at the Robin's eager question, Gwen's expression turned somewhat strange—

"It can't be that the Robin wants to recruit me into the same association as a member of the family, can it?"

In fact Robin did have some early activities promoting the idea of fraternity...

And if the Robin can understand the meaning behind my previous words, then doing so seems perfectly reasonable...

Okay, the logical loop is complete.

With his doubts answered, Gwen felt a sense of relief.

As for the fact that he seems to be being targeted by fellow believers...

Let them keep an eye on me. Just avoid being alone with high-ranking officials like... Sunday, and don't give them the opportunity to use strange methods. Gwen is confident he won't be swayed.

It's important to know that although Gwen wields a greatsword and his daily training focuses primarily on physical strength, his greatest strength lies in his spirit.

Trying to seduce him won't be so easy.

Moreover, if the Robin knowledge he gave to the Xipe could taint Hippe, then Gwen would be quite willing to believe it.

Xipe, surrounded by hymns of praise, has turned into a patriotic song...

"Puff..."

The thought of that scene made Gwen laugh out loud.

"Um?

Is something interesting happening?

Eden's voice rang out quickly, clearly curious about Gwen's sudden laughter.

"Hmm, something interesting just came to mind..."

Although his suspicion that the other person was Elysia lowered his guard somewhat, Gwen still didn't reveal everything until he was completely certain.

After all, the Will of Honkai also had the option of inserting a few so-called "id" or "ego" consciousnesses into Fu Hua's body.

Before confirming that the person communicating with him in Eden's voice was indeed a certain pink fairy, Gwen remained cautious.

"What's so interesting?"

Would you like to share something?

Eden, however, paid no heed to Gwen's subtle wariness.

She had seen this kind of attitude many times before; Gwen's was already considered quite friendly.

Gwen did not reject this goodwill, but he raised another point—

"Of course, but not now—"

Although I wasn't able to pay close attention to you before, I could sense that your soul was severely damaged in the previous energy surge, Eden. Take a good rest first.

As for sharing joy...

Once you've recovered and stabilized, we'll have plenty of time, won't we?

As he spoke, Gwen's spiritual energy surged and began to circulate, attempting to nourish Eden's damaged soul using his "Nourish Soul with Soul" ability.

In any case, Gwen had previously sensed that Eden's already broken soul should repay him for helping him suffer further injury.

"Then I'll be waiting to see."

Faced with Gwen's kindness, "Eden" did not refuse, and slowly fell asleep under the influence of that strange, inexplicably familiar power, despite it being their first encounter.

After all, although she was inexplicably awakened, her soul, which should have dissipated, reassembled and came here, and she was even able to protect Eden with her own power, she did need some time to adapt and recover after her recent revival.

Good night, sweet dreams.

As he felt the soul gradually return to peace, Gwen said softly.

"Then I'll take your good wishes..."

Some indistinct sounds responded to Gwen as he fell into a deep sleep.

"Call..."

Sensing that the other party had fallen into a deep sleep, Gwen breathed a sigh of relief, cleared his mind, and quietly sensed his own state.

First, he chatted with Kiana and the other two for a while, then chatted with the second Netizen and the Robin for a long time. Now, more than an hour has passed since Gwen deactivated his transformation.

This period of time was also enough for Ge Wen to gain a clearer understanding of his current situation.

The most immediate sensation was the overwhelming sense of power he felt, far exceeding anything he had ever experienced before. Gwen even had the illusion that he could stomp his foot and cause the Hyperion was in to crash if he so desired.

Of course, this might not be an illusion, but Gwen still needs to verify it.
