Elysia's Condition. / Just Kidding.

"Judging from how I looked when I first woke up, you should know that I wasn't having a beautiful dream."

Gwen shrugged and said helplessly, but then changed the subject.

"But if you're talking about sweet dreams, I do have some here..."

What is it?

Actually, the reason I took the initiative to talk to Gwen was because I saw that he seemed to have had a nightmare and I wanted to help him adjust his mood. "Eden" couldn't help but ask curiously when she heard this. Her voice was pleasant and melodious. Although she was less elegant and composed than Eden, her liveliness made people almost imagine the lovely girl staring at them with her bright eyes.

"Like... a wedding?"

Hearing the girl's lively and melodious voice, Gwen's originally somewhat heavy heart couldn't help but lighten up. Although his voice was deliberately hesitant, it also carried a hint of laughter.

"A wedding?"

It really is a beautiful dream...

Upon hearing this, the girl's voice lost some of its liveliness, and she spoke softly with a hint of anticipation, before asking with great curiosity.

"Then... who is your bride, Gwen?"

"Of course, it's our dazzling, golden Miss Eden..."

Gwen's lips curled slightly, and before the girl could respond, he continued.

"And besides you, Eden, there are other very beautiful girls, some of whom I don't even know—"

For example, there's a cute girl with pink hair who keeps telling me that 54.8kg isn't 55kg and that you can't round it off.

I've never seen it before, but the impression it left on me is exceptionally clear...

"Oh, right, in your dream, that pink-haired girl was holding your arm, Eden. Do you Remembrance such a lively and beautiful girl, with pointy ears like an elf from a fairy tale?"

"This..."

Upon hearing Gwen's completely unexpected "dream," even "Eden's " voice couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation.

Gwen even noticed that the light within the golden Crystal Flower pulsed more rapidly.

But it was at this moment that Gwen noticed something unusual—

It seems that... there is more than one beam of light in the golden Crystal Flower now. In addition to the slightly dim, flickering soul light, there is another soul light that is extremely dim and almost completely shrouded in another soul light, making it difficult to detect.

"This is... Eden?"

After observing carefully for a moment and confirming that it wasn't his imagination, Gwen breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Although Gwen is currently believed to be Elysia's soul, also likes her, Gwen still doesn't want to see a situation like sacrificing Eden to summon Elysia if possible.

Now that it is confirmed that Eden still exists, Gwen can finally put his mind at ease.

Meanwhile, inside the golden Crystal Flower, Eden, who was feeling somewhat uneasy because of Gwen's words, did not notice Gwen's unusual gaze. Instead, he was trying to use his little brain to figure out how to respond to Gwen.

At the same time, Eden couldn't help but wonder if Gwen had guessed it was him.

However, this shouldn't be the case in "Eden's" opinion, as her records should not be common in later generations.

However, unlike Fu Hua, who is not good with words and is honest, Eden, being a socially awkward person, did not keep Gwen waiting long and responded immediately.

"I'm sorry, Gwen, you know me. My Remembrance are fragmented, and yesterday's events have further shattered my soul. I simply can't remember this person..."

He silently apologized to his best friend, and then "Eden" turned himself into a forgotten person.

Upon hearing the word "Eden," which suddenly became much more dignified, as if returning to its usual elegant and composed tone, Gwen almost suspected that Eden had awakened.

But upon further examination of the dim, ethereal light emanating from within the golden Crystal Flower, Gwen rejected the answer.

Then, before Eden could finish speaking, Gwen spoke up.

"Well, in that case, Eden, you should rest well. There's no need to expend too much energy on a dream—"

Ultimately, it was just a dream. If it was purely coincidental, then I can just consider it a daydream. But if it was a bit of enlightenment that I unintentionally gained after being in that state yesterday, then everything will become clear in the future, and there's no need to waste too much energy on this now.

After all, for me right now, a wedding is still a bit too early—

Without resolving the crisis of Honkai, humanity will never have peace...

"Who knows, I might even have to abandon you, my bride, and go to the battlefield..."

Gwen gave a nonchalant laugh, ending today's morning chat.

Chapter 260 Elysia's condition.

Gwyn woke up early and chatted with "Eden," who resembled Elysia, about his daydreams. He also discovered that Eden hadn't disappeared because of yesterday's events, which improved Gwen mood considerably. He even went out for his morning exercise with a smile on his face.

After following the navigation to the training grounds of the St. Freya Academy, Gwen unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure in the sparsely populated training grounds.

"Fu Hua?"

Gwen approached the seemingly ordinary girl and greeted her.

"Um?

It's you..."

Fu Hua turned her head and saw that it was Gwen, but she didn't show any surprise. She just nodded and continued her morning exercise.

After all, Fu Hua was one of the people involved in the operation yesterday and knew that Gwen was currently at the St. Freya Academy.

As Fu Hua greeted him, Gwen also heard the girl's puzzled voice in his mind—

"Um?

This is..."

"What's wrong?"

While selecting suitable equipment to prepare for today's morning exercise, Gwen, knowing the reason for the other person's voice, asked in his mind with feigned curiosity.

"Gwen, what did you just call her?"

Even disregarding her own voice, Elysia "looked" at Fu Hua, who was calmly doing her morning exercise, her voice tinged with hesitation.

"Fu Hua— "

This time, Gwen didn't tease the girl with any suspense and spoke concisely.

"If the information I saw is correct, Fu Hua should also be one of the pioneers who have survived from the Previous Civilization to the present day. Divine Land for thousands of years, but due to some reasons, her strength was greatly reduced, with only one-tenth remaining. She is currently active as a Schicksal A-rank Valkyrie."

"Significantly weakened?"

Why is this happening?

Upon hearing this, Elysia was filled with doubt—

As a former comrade-in-arms, she knew Hua's abilities very well. Among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers who survived to the end, Hua's combat strength was probably at the bottom tier, except for Pardo and Griseo, but she was still a rough gem that needed to be carefully polished.

Having awakened since the dawn of modern civilization, even if we only consider the five thousand years mentioned by Gwen, Hua's strength should be on par with Kevin and her level.

Even Kevin couldn't have managed to injure her to this extent.

After all, the Garuda from Hua Ronghe gave her unparalleled survival skills, so she shouldn't have suffered such injuries.

"That was a heartbreaking event that affected her life. Although there were some positive aspects, it was still a painful memory for her."

Gwen hesitated for a moment, but still didn't directly reveal the mess the Seven Swords of Tai Xu had made back then—

After all, when Gwen read it, the visual novel seemed to have been discontinued and abandoned, so he didn't pay attention to it afterward.

There was no final conclusion, Gwen did not comment on it.

"Um..."

Upon hearing this, Elysia didn't press further, and simply responded with a soft "Yes."

At this moment, the joy of returning to the human world quietly dissipated, and a sense of desolation at the loss of people and things, as well as the sorrow of suddenly meeting an old friend only to encounter a great disaster, overwhelmed her. Even with her lively and optimistic personality, she couldn't help but feel a little lonely for a moment.

However, before she could recover on her own, a warm current suddenly flowed through her, warming her somewhat cold soul.

"Don't overthink it. As long as the soul hasn't been completely destroyed, a brighter future will always come, won't it?"

Sensing Elysia's low spirits, which even caused her soul to become unstable, Gwen quickly circulated his inner energy, channeling it into the golden Crystal Flower to stabilize her soul, which appeared as bright as the sun but was actually as flickering as a candle flame.

Only now did Gwen realize that although this soul, which resembled Elysia's, seemed to be far stronger than Eden in his best condition upon its appearance, it was merely a facade, empty inside.

Just as his emotions wavered, the other party's soul light flickered, as if it might go out at any moment.

Although it consumed a lot of soul energy, it also resolved Gwen's previous doubts about why the opponent's soul was so powerful as soon as it appeared.

"Yes, Gwen, you're right."

As long as people are alive and keep striving, there is always hope for a better future...

Immersed in that sudden warmth, Elysia felt the chill quickly recede, and the warm feeling swiftly erased the gloom in her heart. Her voice regained the familiar vitality of Gwen.

"However, the journey won't be smooth, Gwen, so you'd better be prepared!"

"Isn't this exactly what I'm supposed to do?"

Having prepared, Gwen braced himself and began his morning exercise, his voice now more energetic as he responded to the girl's call.

"Great, you're full of energy! Then let me... accompany you on your morning exercise..."

Miss Eden, who almost let slip the secret, quickly corrected herself, her voice tinged with embarrassment as she swiftly changed the subject.

"Would you like to hear the songs I used to sing during my morning exercise?"

"It is my great honor."

Upon hearing this, Gwen didn't ask what love was, but simply confirmed in his heart that the other person's identity was now completely certain.

The strongest of the Flame-Chasing Moth (for a considerable period of time), a well-known social terrorist, best friend of Eden and Aponia, the proposer of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers Project, possessing the True Self's Inscription, and having the identities of the Origin Herrscher and the Human Herrscher, the Pink Fairy Lady whose sincerity and enthusiasm make people doubt her authenticity— Elysia.

With the girl's clear, melodious voice accompanying him, Gwen's morning workout felt exceptionally easy; he even went so far as to increase the intensity later on.

Although his own sudden surge in strength played a significant role, Gwen didn't mind attributing it to the girl's singing voice.

Although he didn't have Eden's profound singing skills and experience, it was just as beautiful to Gwen.

After a quick morning workout, Gwen didn't let Fu Hua off the hook either, and sparred with Fu Hua for a while.

"Your strength seems to have experienced an abnormal increase in a short period of time."

Using Gwen's strength to pull him off balance, Fu Hua, who had just stopped, stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Gwen with a slight frown.

"While this is good, it has also led to a significant decrease in your self-control."

If facing an enemy that is too powerful to defeat, serious mistakes may occur; it's better to familiarize yourself with the situation as soon as possible.

Knowing that Cocolia was Anti-Entropy executor, Fu Hua was very worried that Gwen, whom she had personally killed, would suffer retaliation from Anti-Entropy.

Even though Gwen was in Apollo's form at the time, secrets don't stay hidden forever, and Anti-Entropy would find out eventually.

If Gwen were to face the Anti-Entropy Leader, who was seeking revenge for his subordinates, in this state, Fu Hua would be very worried about Gwen's safety.

"Yes, it's already being done."

Upon hearing this, Gwen could only smile helplessly.

"If I hadn't already gotten used to it yesterday, I would have even doubted whether I would end up like those characters in literature who, due to a sudden surge in power, can't even do daily life and break anything they touch."

Chapter 261 A Joke

Although the repeated process of activating the Gene Lock yesterday afternoon gave Gwen a taste of what it's like to experience intense pleasure, the effects were also tangible, restoring much of Gwen's control over his power.

"It seems your strength has improved considerably this time."

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"I have no classes this afternoon, tomorrow morning, and the evening after tomorrow, so I can spare some time to help you with the training. If you have time, you can contact me directly."

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Upon hearing this, Gwen did not refuse and readily agreed.

"Hmm... although she doesn't seem to have changed much, her personality has matured a bit. She's already taking the initiative to offer help to others~?"

As for Gwen, Elysia, who had been watching the two interact and occasionally chatting with Gwen, looked at Fu Hua at this moment and couldn't help but sigh.

"Although she seems taciturn and even a bit dull, Fu Hua is indeed a very mature and reliable person."
