Fu Hua's Choice.
When Fu Hua opened her eyes again, she had regained the composure and calmness that Gwen was familiar with.
With a smile on her face, different from the one that belonged to Hua before, but instead belonging to Fu Hua spoke:
"It's so nice to see you again at this time, Elysia."
But... I'm sorry, I've forgotten everything we went through together.
"It's okay~?"
Seeing that Fu Hua had actually brought up those burned Remembrance, Elysia gained a better understanding of the current Fu Hua, but her voice was still as playful and cute as ever.
"I believe that, given your personality, what would make you choose to do that must be something as precious as those Remembrance that you cherish and are worth protecting."
Moreover, while the past is certainly worth Remembrance, shouldn't we live in the present and look to the future?
Since we once created a past that you cherish, we can naturally create a future that is equally memorable.
You agree, right?
"Um..."
Hearing Elysia's sweet voice, Fu Hua felt a warmth spread through the vague emptiness in her heart, and she nodded slightly.
After nodding, Fu Hua's gaze shifted slightly upwards, meeting Gwen's smiling eyes.
"Thank you, Gwen, for giving me the chance to see Elysia again..."
Although there is no evidence, it is unlikely that Elysia, as a dead person, could reappear in front of him, even if she is only in a soul state, since she has completely disappeared.
So, although it's incredible, it seems that only Gwen could have done it.
"It was just a coincidence."
Seeing that Fu Hua didn't seem inclined to delve into how he had done it, Gwen didn't offer an explanation either, his desire to show off quickly fading into the topic—
"Moreover, Eden was actually the first place to recover here."
However, due to the events of the past few days, she fell into a deep sleep again, while Elysia unexpectedly arrived.
"This is no accident, you know?"
Upon hearing this, Elysia spoke first before Fu Hua could even open her mouth.
"My good Eden is in danger, of course I'll be there immediately!"
"Oh right, right, it was Elysia who came here after smelling the scent."
Gwen did not refute, but smiled and agreed.
"Um?
Talking to a pretty girl like that is a turn-off, you know?
Elysia said, feigning seriousness.
"Then... did the protector of the flower arrive just in time?"
Although Gwen sensed the girl's joking tone, he still cooperated by showing a serious expression.
"That's not really suitable either..."
However, I'll consider you to have passed!
It was just a joke, so Elysia naturally wouldn't hold a grudge and let Gwen with a smile.
Across from Gwen, Fu Hua listened to the two men's conversation without interrupting.
Although Fu Hua was pleasantly surprised by the return of her old friend and found a touch of warmth in that familiar tone of voice.
However, the resurrection of the dead was ultimately too illogical, Fu Hua still retained a last shred of rational skepticism about it—
Fu Hua hadn't forgotten that Gwen had initially approached her to say something important.
Before discussing that matter, Gwen also revealed Elysia had inexplicably revived...
Clearly, all of this was paving the way for what Gwen was going to say later.
If the matter is extremely difficult, or requires her to violate certain principles, then Fu Hua needs to consider whether it's a carefully prepared trap for herself.
If someone really used their former comrades to set such a trap...
Even Fu Hua can harden her fists.
Of course, despite her doubts, Fu Hua sincerely hoped that none of this was a figment of her imagination, but rather the truth.
After all, if this is true, it means that she might be able to fill the gaps in her Remembrance that have kept her awake at night for countless nights.
After exchanging a few words with Elysia, Gwen turned back to Fu Hua and briefly explained that he had seen the future of a parallel world in the Sea of Quantum, and clarified his desire to change Otto's will because he did not approve of Otto's actions in the future.
Otto...
Not someone who is easily persuaded.
After listening to Gwen's account, Fu Hua pondered for a moment, but did not question Gwen's words. Instead, she reminded Gwen.
"Of course, I am well aware of that."
Gwen nodded, slowly clenched his fist, and said solemnly.
"However, given that I possess the power to disregard his military threats and to disrupt all his future plans, he must carefully listen to and consider my advice."
271
Chapter 271 Fu Hua's Choice.
"Is that enough power?"
Having understood Gwen's meaning, Fu Hua nodded slightly.
In Fu Hua's memory, Gwen was not an impulsive or reckless person.
It now seems that Gwen had prepared for the worst before he began trying to persuade Otto.
But...
"This might give you the ability to articulate your views to him, but it could also provoke a fierce backlash from him—"
Both Welt Joyce and the North American Branch, the predecessor of Anti-Entropy, were like this.
Although she still had an alliance with Otto, Fu Hua hesitated slightly and chose to advise Gwen to be more cautious.
"If you see Otto's ultimate goal from the future of a parallel world, then you might get the desired effect."
But if that's not the case... I don't recommend you do it.
"Thank you for reminding me."
Upon hearing Gwen smiled easily.
Although it's unclear how much Fu Hua believed him, the fact that she was willing to advise him to be cautious suggests that he could at least achieve his desired goal today.
"Having understood his character and methods, I am certainly confident that I can still make this attempt."
After all, Elysia is right here, isn't she?
"Elysia?"
Because Gwen did not explain that everything Otto did was to revive Kallen, Fu Hua was somewhat confused by Gwen's words.
"Although I think Bishop Otto probably wouldn't mind, it's still too incredible, so let him tell you in person when the time comes."
Gwen smiled, offering no explanation, and abruptly changed the subject to his ultimate purpose in speaking with Fu Hua that day—
"If everything goes well on this trip, the future of the world will be very different."
But what if things don't turn out as I expect...
Please, Ms. Fu Hua, go easy on me.
What does this mean?
Upon hearing this, Fu Hua realized that this must be the purpose of Gwen's explanation of Elysia's resurrection that he had given her earlier today, and she couldn't help but show a solemn expression.
"If things don't go well, Bishop Otto might take some extreme actions against Kiana and Raiden Mei, who came to the Far East Branch with me."
Their fathers will come and take them away then.
I hope that Fu Hua will show mercy and let them go.
"..."
Upon hearing Gwen's request, Fu Hua's mind flashed with images of Kiana and Mei, and she nodded slightly.
"If it were Siegfried who came with the Heavenly Fire Judgment, he could indeed hold me back."
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Fu Hua clearly acquiesced to Gwen's request.
"I think, out of respect for Theresa, the people who come shouldn't cause too much damage or harm the innocent."
Seeing that Fu Hua had agreed, Gwen smiled and the matter was settled.
"That's for the best."
Fu Hua nodded, offering no comment.
"By the way, I haven't told Kevin about Elysia and Eden yet, and I hope you can keep this a secret for me for the time being Fu Hua."
Having achieved his main objective, Gwen didn't forget to remind Fu Hua of something.
Gwen's words surprised both of them.
"Kevin?"*2.
"Um..."
Gwen smiled and explained.
"Actually, Kevin was the first person I contacted."
After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this body is connected to him by blood.
Although he is still alive, his presence in the Sea of Quantum seems to fulfill the conditions I require.
However, because of this, our relationship only exists in a way that I can control unilaterally.
Although, in my plan, he will find out about these things in the future.
But now is not the time.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hua pondered for a moment, then looked at Gwen, who had remained silent but seemed to have revealed something extraordinary, with a look of surprise and uncertainty, and nodded slightly.
"I will keep it a secret for you until then."
However, it's best to do it as soon as possible.
Although those Remembrance have been lost, I still vaguely remember Kevin preparing the final Stigmata Plan...
Try to tell him before you start planning.
Otherwise, you might become enemies.
"Thank you for reminding me."
Gwen raised an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing this, and replied with a smile.
"He needs a key to return from the Sea of Quantum."
If nothing unexpected happens, I will be the one to bring him back from the Sea of Quantum in the future.
I will explain it to him then.
"... Have a safe journey."
Seeing that Gwen seemed to have planned this all along, Fu Hua said no more and offered her blessings.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Gwen responded with a smile.
After finishing their business, Gwen waited until Elysia and Fu Hua had a good chat for a while before removing the barrier and preparing to leave.
However, after Gwen said goodbye, Fu Hua called him back—
"Here, take this."
