Can Kiana Kaslana Become the Strongest Valkyrie? / Let's Set a Small Goal: Become a Valkyrie Who Can Stand on Her Own.

In the past few days, Gwen has also fully digested and absorbed the insights gained from his duel with Siegfried, and has gained a new understanding and application of the increasingly complex energy within his body.

Honkai Energy can be transformed into the Five Elements Energy, and the five elements combine to form light. This transformation is accomplished through Apollo, which is hidden within one's own body, and the Absolute Energy of the Cascade Light Source.

At this point, Gwen had completed the initial conversion and manipulation of the major forces within his body.

Gwen that as his strength increased and he gained control over these powers, he would one day be able to freely use and transform them without having to go through this somewhat complicated transformation process.

As for the tiny amount of quantum energy within Gwen's body, it also joined this cycle through the transformation with the Five Elements Energy, no longer existing outside the system.

As Gwen integrated the energy within his body, he discovered that there seemed to have been traces of quantum energy in his body long ago, even before he obtained power from the Earth Shadow Stone and the Fire Shadow Stone.

If that were all, it wouldn't surprise Gwen, since according to Otto, he was brought back from the Sea of Quantum by You Lan Dai Er and Rita after their trip to the World Bubble, so it's normal for him to have some traces of the Sea of Quantum in his body.

However, from Gwen's current perspective, that mark was not formed naturally upon entering the Sea of Quantum, but rather because someone had done something to him using the energy of the Sea of Quantum, which caused this to occur.

Unfortunately, during the fusion a few days ago, Gwen's body was thoroughly washed by the violent Absolute Energy from the inside out, and the traces that had already faded over time almost completely disappeared.

If Gwen hadn't possessed such powerful mental strength, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect those remaining traces.

"So... was it someone I met when I was adrift in the Sea of Quantum?"

The other person did something to me, leaving marks that I hadn't even noticed before...

Who could it be?

Schrödinger?

Shigure Kira?

"Unlikely, it seems unlikely. If it were the former, I should be in Anti-Entropy right now; if it were the latter, I should be on an adventure with Shigure Kira right now..."

Because there aren't many characters related to the Sea of Quantum in the story, Gwen wasn't really able to figure things out.

"Vita?"

The Cocoon of the End is still around, so she probably won't be heading towards Earth anytime soon...

Could he be a character from the second part who is suspected to be related to the Sea of Quantum?

"Ajeta or something?"

Unable to find a target for the time being, Gwen simply thought about it while circulating the energy in his body, trying to find any possible hidden traces left in his body.

Although, from Gwen's perspective, the traces remaining after Absolute Energy washout were of no use, it was better to leave them out if they could be.

Just then, Gwen's phone suddenly rang with a pleasant ringtone.

Bianca, you're back?

Gwen glanced at the caller ID, raised an eyebrow, answered the phone immediately, and asked with a smile.

If in a task state, You Lan Dai Er will only use the terminal.

The fact that You Lan Dai Er can contact you via mobile phone indicates that the mission has ended.

"Yes, I just finished turning in the mission."

You Lan Dai Er's voice came through the phone, but it made Gwen frown slightly—

Although it wasn't obvious, Gwen, having known You Lan Dai Er for so long, still sensed a slight unnaturalness in her tone.

Do you need me to pick you up?

Do I still need to prepare the ingredients for a big lunch?

Gwyn didn't directly ask what had happened in Durandal, and chatted as usual.

"Um...

"Come here for a moment."

As Gwen had predicted, You Lan Dai Er ultimately couldn't hold back what was on his mind.

However, You Lan Dai Er's next words were somewhat Gwen by Gwyn—

"We brought a few people back on our way back, and Bishop Otto asked me to contact you to settle them in."

"Okay, send me your location and I'll be right there."

After a moment of blankness in his eyes, Gwen came to his conclusion and immediately grabbed his coat to go find You Lan Dai Er.

Upon arrival, just as Gwen had predicted, Kiana and two others, each pulling a suitcase, were beside You Lan Dai Er and Rita.

"Gwen..."

The first person to notice Gwen was Rita, who was chatting happily with Mei.

Chapter 313 Can Kiana Kaslana become the strongest Valkyrie?

"Yes, it's been a long time, Rita."

Gwen responded with a smile and stepped forward to give Rita a big hug.

"..."

Rita was slightly surprised by Gwen's enthusiastic reaction, but she still smiled and hugged Gwen.

However, Rita felt a bit puzzled when she sensed the strength in Gwen's embrace, which was a bit greater than a polite hug.

After hugging Rita, Gwen looked at the two girls beside her and said with a smile:

"Welcome to Destiny Headquarters, Mei, Bronya."

"Um..."

Mei, with a bright smile, lowered her eyes and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, making it impossible to see the expression in her bright eyes.

The next moment, the girl's energetic voice came from the other side—

"Hey, Gwen, you're here!"

Without even looking, Gwen could imagine the slightly silly, bright smile on Kiana's face at that moment.

"Hmm, Kiana, you didn't cause any trouble for Bianca and Rita on the way, did you?"

Gwen turned around, looked at Kiana was still standing next to You Lan Dai Er, and asked with a smile.

"No way, do I... cough... do I look like the kind of person who causes trouble for others?"

Kiana instinctively wanted to banter with Gwen, but quickly realized the situation was inappropriate and changed her mind.

"Who told you not to be as sensible as Mei and Bronya?"

Meeting the girl's fierce gaze, Gwen smiled and walked up to the two of them, saying with a grin.

Hmph~

I've been very well-behaved the whole way and haven't caused any trouble, haven't I, Sister You Lan Dai Er?"

Faced with Gwen's familiar provocation, Kiana did not fall for it this time. She put her hands on her hips, raised her fair chin slightly, and gave Gwen a "scornful look," even dragging You Lan Dai Er on the side as a witness.

"Yes, Kiana didn't cause any trouble along the way."

You Lan Dai Er, who had never experienced anything like this before, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and echoed Kiana's words.

"Hmm, it seems you two got along quite well on the journey?"

Gwen nodded, smiling as he looked at You Lan Dai Er and Kiana, who were standing side by side several years ahead of schedule, feeling quite pleased.

Compared to Kiana's initial coldness towards You Lan Dai Er due to their differing stances when they first met in the story, Gwen felt a strange sense of accomplishment at Kiana's current affectionate demeanor towards You Lan Dai Er.

"On the way, Miss Kiana and Lord You Lan Dai Er discussed some insights on physical techniques and had a very pleasant conversation."

Rita had walked gracefully to Gwen's side, looked at You Lan Dai Er and Kiana standing together with a smile and said softly.

Although the full picture of Sirin Project is still unclear, Rita is aware of You Lan Dai Er's other identity.

Looking at the two of them, Rita couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.

"It seems you're as lucky as ever, Kiana. You've already found the strongest Valkyrie in physical combat at our Destiny Headquarters to discuss physical techniques right away."

Completely unaffected by Kiana's "insect-like disdain," Gwen, finding the girl exceptionally adorable, smiled even more broadly and teased her with a beaming grin.

"Hehe, I've always been very lucky."

Kiana puffed out her chest upon hearing this and said with no small amount of pride.

"Then... Bianca,"

Gwen looked at the smug Kiana, a subtle smile creeping onto his face, before glancing at You Lan Dai Er beside her.

"If you have time later, could you please give Kiana some pointers on her physical training?"

Although she received some instruction, her physical skills were actually quite poor, and her fundamentals were very weak.

"No problem, I'll bring Kiana with me when I train."

Upon hearing Gwen's request, You Lan Dai Er agreed without hesitation.

"Hey..."

Upon hearing this, Kiana, who already knew that her foundation was indeed very poor, did not refute it, but simply waved her rather delicate little fist.

"Gwen, just you wait and see. I'll definitely lay a solid foundation as soon as possible and then catch up with you."

Unlike the original timeline where Kiana had a record of defeating the Third Herrscher and was quite proud of herself, even to the point of being somewhat arrogant.

In the current timeline, Kiana, who had already experienced the illusion of Hiyori before even leaving Changkong City, realized her own weakness and powerlessness. Although she also set her sights on becoming the strongest Valkyrie, she would acknowledge her shortcomings instead of being stubborn.

"Okay, I look forward to that day."

Gwen remained unchanged.

"However, I remember Kiana, your goal is to become the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, right?"

"Yes."

Kiana nodded, somewhat puzzled as to why Gwen was asking this now.

"Do you know who the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal is right now?"

Looking at the innocent and naive Kiana, Gwen became even more delighted.

"Um?

Who is it?

Kiana, who hadn't had much contact with the students in St. Freya during her few days there and hadn't heard anyone talk about this topic, opened her eyes wide and looked at Gwen.

"Look, it's right beside you."

With a smile full of pleasure, Gwen pointed to You Lan Dai Er next to Kiana and said with a grin.

"Hmm... ah?"

Following Gwen's finger, Kiana saw You Lan Dai Er with an awkward yet polite smile. Kiana's eyes widened, and she lost the ability to think.

Seeing Kiana's expression, even Mei and Bronya, who had come with Rita, couldn't help but smile.

"Believe in yourself, Kiana."

You Lan Dai Er, the only one present who didn't laugh besides Kiana herself, patted Kiana on the shoulder and said seriously.

"Hold firm to your beliefs, train hard, keep moving forward, and one day you will have the opportunity to achieve your goals."

Although she was still a little flustered about being called the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal to her face by her friend, You Lan Dai Er sincerely encouraged Kiana.

To outsiders, Kiana's claim to become the strongest Valkyrie before even officially becoming Valkyrie seems presumptuous. However, in You Lan Dai Er's view, it is precisely because of the addition of these passionate young women that humanity's defenses against the Honkai have been maintained to this day.

Moreover, You Lan Dai Er, who was well aware of his own situation, did not speak definitively, leaving considerable room for interpretation.

"Hehe, I knew Sister You Lan Dai Er was the best, unlike someone else..."

Upon receiving You Lan Dai Er's affirmation, Kiana instantly came to life, completely forgetting her earlier embarrassment. She affectionately hugged You Lan Dai Er's arm, not forgetting to glare at the mischievous Gwen as she spoke.

Gwen merely chuckled, his gaze falling on Rita beside him, when suddenly a thought struck him—

"Rita, do you think Kiana Kaslana can become the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal?"
