Cocolia Rand's Hope (Happy National Day Holiday!) / A New Mystery.
"Since you have no questions, I will have Amber order Kiana and Raiden Mei to be transferred to headquarters."
"Hmm, let's also bring Bronya... that little girl whose brain Cocolia implanted a control chip in her brain."
Gwen nodded in satisfaction, not forgetting to include Bronya as well.
"Of course, no problem."
Otto, without asking why, smiled and agreed to Gwen's request.
He only cared about Kiana; Raiden Mei was just a side note, let alone an insignificant little girl.
However, since Gwen cares, let's continue the investigation...
After talking with Otto, Gwen had no intention of staying any longer and took his leave after exchanging a few more words.
Kiana, Raiden Mei, Bronya...
"Heh... it seems you two were very good friends in that future..."
After briefly speculating about Gwen's reasons for insisting on transferring the three girls back to headquarters, Otto shifted his attention to the promises Gwen had made—
"Void Archives, do you think this child could, as he says, overcome the Herrscher consciousness and leave the power to the original body?"
"Have no idea."
Having overheard their conversation, Void Archives answered without hesitation.
"Theoretically, it's feasible. Compared to Previous Civilization, the current civilization's Herrscher show more of a human side—"
Even the Second Herrscher, Sirin, caused widespread destruction out of revenge, not simply for the purpose of annihilation.

Chapter 311 Hope for Cocolia Rand (Wishing everyone a happy National Day holiday)
"However, how to separate the original consciousness of the original body from the so-called Herrscher consciousness generated after the Herrscher Core was forcibly inserted, and how to eliminate the latter, remains a difficult problem that has not been put into practice."
Otto picked up where Void Archives, stroking his chin as he analyzed.
"Moreover, even if this step is achieved, how to ensure that the human body can perfectly exert the powers within the core remains a problem—"
At least, our Anti-Entropy Leader can't do that yet...
"Ha, let's not talk about him anymore. Do you think Gwen, with his strength, could make this possible?"
"Have no idea."
Void Archives once again gave the same answer.
"There has never been such a precedent before, so I don't know what level of mental strength is required to do this."
Moreover, his spiritual power had become extremely restrained long ago; he didn't release it on his own, and even I couldn't detect it at all.
"However, given his own account of annihilating the Herrscher consciousness of the Erosion Herrscher within the illusion created by the other party, it doesn't seem entirely impossible..."
Otto, his gaze deep and unfathomable, picked up where Void Archives.
"Even though that Erosion Herrscher has weakened considerably during the long period of sealing, perhaps even less than in her normal state, Gwen is still growing rapidly..."
"That's not entirely true."
Today, unusually, Void Archives did not express its own opinion, but instead offered its own perspective, unexpectedly refuting Otto with a remark—
"The appearance of the Erosion Herrscher is quite special. Unlike other Herrscher that appear out of nowhere, its appearance is closely related to resentment."
Judging from the situation five hundred years ago, the other party's resentment and dissatisfaction did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, they intensified with the passage of time.
"So that means..."
Upon hearing this, Otto's eyes lit up—
Although it deviates from the original plan, if Gwen can truly achieve this, then the idea of using the Herrscher's power for humanity... might not be an isolated case...
While Otto was devising new plans for the new situation, Gwen, having left Otto's place, glanced at the bright moon in the sky and did not go to chat with Changguang or Amber again.
It's already past midnight at the Destiny Headquarters; it's not the time for visiting.
However, not being able to chat face-to-face doesn't mean Gwen can't chat online—
First, Gwen sent a message to his second mysterious Netizen whose time zone was unknown, but received no response. He hesitated for a moment between the Robin and Cocolia Rand, then chose the latter.
Although Gwen hadn't had much time to chat with Robin because he'd been busy integrating his powers these past few days, the robin's almost overflowing thirst for knowledge and his desire to pull him up to a higher position... well, was it the robin's enthusiasm for joining the family that made Gwen temporarily choose to sideline the future Galactic Superstar?
As an outsider, it would be useless for him to talk about family issues; it would only annoy people. The right time to communicate would be when the Robin himself realized it.
In contrast, the Cocolia Rand is clearly more urgent and requires more attention.
Although everything in Changkong City was over, Gwen's points balance had reached an unprecedented level.
After completing negotiations with Otto, a new round of price surges ensued.
However, Gwen would obviously never mind having too many points.
Naturally, Cocolia Rand, who can bring him a lot of points, or rather, Jarilo-VI, is now more worthy of Gwen's attention.
How's the situation on your end?
After sending a casual message to say hello, Gwen pushed open the door to his room, which he hadn't visited for half a day.
Before Gwen could even close the door after entering the house, he received a response from Cocolia—
"Overall, it's not bad. With the reputation I've built up in the past and the legitimacy I've earned, I've successfully integrated Belobog's power."
Although the purge of conservative forces gradually created an opposition, everything would be fine once the war was won.
"..."
Calculating the time difference, it was Cocolia Rand. Gwen, who hadn't expected a quick response, was taken aback.
Even if you're Pathstrider with a much better physical condition than the average person, that's no excuse for staying up so late.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the communication line, a haggard-looking Cocolia turned on her bedside lamp and stared listlessly at the screen.
Ever since she took over as Great Guardian and learned the truth about the Star Core, Cocolia has been hearing the Star Core's whispers echoing in her ears.
In this situation, even though Cocolia is the successor carefully nurtured by the former Great Guardian and is also Pathstrider with a body and mind much stronger than ordinary people, her sleep quality inevitably declines.
This situation becomes increasingly serious as reality gradually converges with the whispers in one's mind.
Therefore, as soon as Gwen sent the message, Cocolia, who had just woken up from the nightmare of Belobog being submerged by the Cold Wave, replied.
"I've been busy with all this until now, it's really been tough..."
Seeing Gwen's sigh, Cocolia n't help but let out a long sigh—
Is it hard work?
It was indeed very hard work.
Especially when you can't even get a good night's sleep after a long day.
However, things are much better now than in the past.
At least, compared to the utter despair and helplessness of the past, there is still a glimmer of hope from Gwen's Invitation Letter—
Although none of the items she could buy in the store could help her or Belobog overcome the Cold Wave or the star core, they did inject new motivation and variables into Belobog.
Just as Cocolia was sighing, Gwen's message arrived again—
"Perfect timing! I have some good news that might help you relax a bit."
"Um?
What good news?
Upon seeing Gwen's message, Cocolia Rand perked up a bit—
Although Gwen looked about the same age as her adopted daughter, Cocolia knew very well that Gwen was not the kind of person who talked big.
Although Gwen often offered some unreliable suggestions that Cocolia found rather naive in their past exchanges, those were ultimately questions Cocolia had asked herself. Moreover, some of the examples Gwen gave her provided considerable inspiration, making it much easier for Cocolia to integrate the forces within Belobog and allowing her to firmly grasp the power of the Lower City.
And for Gwen had been almost completely out of contact these past few days except to let everyone know he was safe, to bring good news, this good news must be really good...
With a touch of anticipation, Cocolia read Gwen's next chapter—
"In short, my strength has made a leap forward, and my potential has been greatly enhanced—"
With all its might... it could probably destroy a medium-sized city in one strike—about the size of several districts in Belobog.
In addition, I also solved the problem of insufficient follow-up flight time when I arrived at your place.
Even if I can't mobilize Imaginary Energy, I no longer need to worry about being exhausted to death.
So... your battle plan can be a little bolder."
"Congratulations on your progress! Your chances of successfully protecting your world are even greater now."
Upon seeing Gwen's good news, Cocolia immediately congratulated Gwen, while a glimmer of new hope quietly rose in her heart—
Although I learned from history that some powerful beings in the starry sky were capable of forming an army on their own, that was too far away for Cocolia.
While Gwen was a rare and powerful ally for Cocolia, that was about it. The reason he was valued so much was mainly because Gwen brought Chat System and a shop, as well as a new world behind him that was completely unaffected by the Star Core and the Cold Wave, which could serve as a fallback option if necessary.
But now, in just a few years, Gwen has already gained the power to destroy a city with a single blow.
Is it possible that Gwen will become the kind of powerful being who only exists in records in the future?
"Similarly, Belobog's chances of overcoming the Cold Wave have increased."
Seeing Cocolia Rand's congratulations, Gwen's mood improved somewhat.
Although he doesn't like showing off in front of others, this feeling is indeed quite nice.
May we all usher in a bright tomorrow.
Having understood Gwen's meaning of "standing together through thick and thin," Cocolia Rand felt somewhat relieved and smiled.
312
Chapter 312 A New Mystery.
May we all usher in a bright tomorrow.
Upon seeing Cocolia's words, Gwen smiled slightly and offered the same blessing.
Although there are still many reservations between them, Cocolia has not yet told Gwen that she is suffering from the whispers of the star core, Gwen also has many things to hide from Cocolia.
However, through prolonged communication, the two reached a certain consensus—
As two unfortunate souls living in worlds on the brink of destruction, they should help each other whenever they are able.
Even if this may not directly help one's own world, the points gained can be considered as indirectly helping one's own world.
For example, the Earth Marrow ore that Cocolia provided to Gwen, and Gwen's previous trip to Belobog to adapt to the environment in preparation for Cocolia's counterattack against the Cold Wave.
Therefore, when Cocolia mentioned this phrase, it wasn't just a simple wish, but also a reaffirmation of this unwritten agreement.
Gwen echoed this sentiment, acknowledging it.
"Would you mind telling me about your main combat methods and means of attack?"
A rough outline is fine.
Having received the response she wanted, Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to ask about the important matter at hand.
"If your strength reaches that level, then the battle plan centered around you will need to be redeployed."
"Of course, no problem."
Gwen answered without hesitation, and after a moment's thought, briefly explained to Cocolia the tactics he planned to use in Belobog.
As for the rest...
Since Cocolia's brain was under the influence of the Star Core, Gwen did not intend to reveal any more secrets to her until he was certain that her Remembrance would not be read by the Star Core.
After a brief discussion about the tactics Gwen could employ, Cocolia went to draft a plan.
Gwen didn't bother anyone else and focused on his training.
Whether it's the Honkai of Earth or the core of Belobog, only Gwen has the power to resolve these issues.
For the next two days, Gwen had a rather uneventful time, chatting with Changguang and having a meal with Amber.
If it weren't for being in the Destiny Headquarters in the sky, spending all his free time cultivating instead of playing games, Gwen would almost have the illusion of returning to the peaceful life of his previous life.
