Griseo? / Changes
The moment the bathroom door closed, Gwen's figure vanished from the Eigenworld and arrived in the World Bubble located in the Sea of Quantum—
"Brother Gwen!"
Upon seeing Gwen again, Seele cheered and instinctively hugged him.
"Seele, be good, I'm fine."
Gwen, sensing the helplessness and panic in the girl's heart, rubbed her head, while his spiritual power spread out to check the situation under the Valkyrie Quicksilver.
"Well, it's good that Brother Gwen is alright. Come and see how Valkyrie Quicksilver is doing."
Although she longed to hug Gwen and cry her heart out to release the tension, worry, and fear in her heart, Seele knew very well what was important right now. She quickly let go of Gwen and pulled him to the bedside under the Valkyrie Quicksilver.
"Leave it to me."
Seele gently smoothed Gwen's dry hair, leaned down to look at her under the moonlight, where her eyes held little semblance of reason, almost entirely a blood-red Valkyrie Quicksilver, and softly called out—
" Under the Valkyrie Quicksilver!"
Under the Valkyrie Quicksilver!
Although he hadn't had time to organize and process the vast amount of knowledge in his mind, Gwen's mental strength was undeniable. Even with his crude methods, his reckless and brute force seemed to have some effect.
Whether it was Gwen's call, infused with spiritual power, or the blood Gwen had offered to Valkyrie Quicksilver's lips, the girl's blood-red eyes regained some of their luster, and she murmured softly—
"Is that you back?"
"I'm sorry you suffered, open your mouth, ah—"
This time, Gwen didn't use his fingers. Instead, he directly ruptured the blood vessel in his wrist and sent the blood he had blocked at the opening to Valkyrie Quicksilver's lips.
"Um..."
As the Valkyrie Quicksilver gave a soft reply, Gwen could feel the sharp canines slowly retracting instead of trying to pierce his skin, and a warm, soft little tongue was licking the wound where blood was gushing out.
"Call..."
Gwen breathed a long sigh of relief upon noticing Valkyrie Quicksilver's actions. Fortunately, he had woken up in time, before Valkyrie Quicksilver went completely berserk; otherwise, Seele would probably have been the first to suffer.
"Brother Gwen, she's under the Valkyrie Quicksilver..."
Seeing that Valkyrie Quicksilver's body convulsions seemed to have stopped, Seele's little face showed a hint of excitement.
"Yes, it's alright now, Seele. Thank you for taking care of Valkyrie Quicksilver these past few days."
With pure water element in his palm, Gwen fed Valkyrie Quicksilver blood with one hand and combed her Seele, adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise chaotic hotel room.
On the bed, Valkyrie Quicksilver did not devour the blood as Gwen had expected, but instead merely licked Gwen's blood with her little tongue, showing unexpected restraint.
Soon after, Valkyrie Quicksilver even used her little tongue to push Gwen's arm out of her mouth—
"Isn't that a bit too little?"
Gwen dispelled the power that was preventing the wound from healing, casually severed the ropes binding him under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, and asked with concern.
"I will try my best to get rid of this bad habit of sucking blood..."
Her eyes regained their sparkle, and her pretty face had an unnatural blush, but her voice was weak Valkyrie Quicksilver stared at Gwen and spoke slowly.
"I don't want you to support me by hurting yourself anymore..."
I can feel it, your blood can do it...
The voice grew softer and softer, and by the end, Valkyrie Quicksilver had fallen into a deep sleep.
"..."
Looking at Valkyrie Quicksilver's peaceful sleeping face, which exuded a sense of ease, Gwen recalled the resolute expression on Valkyrie Quicksilver just now, and felt a little touched.
"Alright, Seele, the problem is solved. You've really worked hard these past few days."
Gwen stroked Seele's now softer blue hair, then turned and picked her up, placing her on the bed amidst her soft gasp and covering her with a blanket.
"Now, get some sleep. I'll pick you up as soon as possible."
"Um..."
Feeling the breath on her cheek, Seele responded softly, closed her eyes, and soon drifted off to sleep under the onslaught of exhaustion.
"Call..."
After lulling Seele to sleep, Gwen tidied up the room for the girl, took one last look at the two girls who were fast asleep, and then left this world.
1. Jpg.

Chapter 341 Griseo?
"Call..."
In the blink of an eye, he was back in the bathroom. Gwen washed his face and stared blankly at his reflection in the steaming mirror.
Unbeknownst to him, Gwen's appearance, which had been increasingly resembling Otto's, had now quietly drifted away.
Although it's just a few minor changes, if you don't expect the two to look alike, you probably wouldn't think they look very similar to each other if you saw them separately.
However, after this change occurred, none of those who knew Gwen noticed anything different about Gwen; only Rita, who had observed him closely, vaguely sensed something amiss.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Gwen vaguely saw a resemblance to his original self.
"Is it the effect of the Gene Lock that makes my appearance change towards the most basic perception of myself?"
Or is it my powerful soul and spiritual strength that caused me to exhibit the phenomenon of "appearance reflecting the heart"?
As some speculations about the changes in his appearance flashed through his mind, Gwen's thoughts once again fell on the Valkyrie Quicksilver far away in the World Bubble.
The words that Valkyrie Quicksilver suddenly uttered actually took Gwen somewhat by surprise.
After all, those words were practically a confession to Valkyrie Quicksilver, who could be seen as a vampire.
This is a privilege that only captains who reach the end in the original storyline receive.
Although this is also what Gwen secretly hopes for, and believes that it is very likely to happen.
But when Gwyn actually heard those words spoken under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, Gwen couldn't help but feel a little moved—
"Years have passed, and I have left my mark on this world, truly changed many things, and become a source of support for some people..."
Gwen touched his face again, waved his hand to wipe away the light mist on the mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror, muttering to himself.
"Even if we don't talk about it being for civilization, for the world, or to turning this imperfect world into the one I envision, just for those who see me as a pillar and are striving to become better for me, I must keep getting stronger and keep going..."
Although he already knew this in his heart, Gwen still felt a surge of emotion after being unconscious for seven days due to reading the knowledge recorded in Sage's Notebook and hearing those words under the Valkyrie Quicksilver. He decided to take this opportunity to encourage himself once again.
Although it doesn't have the super-beast's alien energy or Kaiji's willpower, which are clearly based on idealism, it's never a bad thing to stick to your beliefs.
Wiping the water droplets from his face, Gwen left the bathroom and immediately met Anna's probing gaze.
Aren't you going to sleep yet?
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Gwen sat down where Anna had been sitting and asked with a smile.
"I'll go to sleep now, I'll go to sleep now..."
Upon seeing Gwen's kind smile, Anna immediately closed her eyes and soon began to breathe evenly.
"..."
Looking at the girl's delicate face as she pretended to be asleep, Gwen couldn't help but smile. He didn't expose her, but simply pulled the blanket up for her. Then, glancing at the girl's blushing face, he smiled and opened the Chat System.
Although Seele's problem under the Valkyrie Quicksilver was resolved, Gwen did not forget about the unread messages from the others.
—Looking at it, the emotional changes of the others were not much different from Seele's. They all went from doubt to concern and then to worry after discovering that Gwen was not replying to their messages.
The main difference is that the Robin is more concerned about Gwen's safety, Cocolia Rand is concerned and mentions revising the plan, while the mysterious Netizen who has not yet chosen to bind a soul seems to have the most indifferent emotional reaction, even speculating about what might have happened to Gwen.
After replying to the Robin with a message that the girl could easily understand, Gwen copied the message to Cocolia Rand, telling her that the plan could proceed as scheduled and that his strength had once again entered a period of growth.
Then, Gwen immediately looked at the bottom, at the blank profile picture showing several unread messages—
If Gwen hadn't opened the Chat System, he would have almost forgotten that he had a new Netizen a few days ago.
"Hello, this is Griseo's studio. Did Danzhu leave the communicator here?"
"Hello, this is Griseo's studio. Did Miss Cang Xuan leave the communicator here?"
Seeing this message, which was repeated repeatedly except for the names, Gwen was taken aback.
Griseo's studio?
Gwen knew Griseo, the daughter of Kevin's predecessor Hen and Mobius, the assistant Möbius had been longing for, and also a member of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, a young painter.
"But when did Griseo have a conscious art studio?"
Looking at the constantly repeating messages, Gwen fell into deep thought.
"Furthermore, if this were Griseo from my world, she should still be endlessly reincarnating in the dream she's woven for herself..."
Wait, considering speaking habits and that cycle...
Gwen pondered for a moment, and a conjecture arose in his mind—
"Could it be that this so-called Marvin... that Griseo who disguised herself as her father as the so-called 'Mr. Knight' got the Invitation Letter?"
Having formed a guess, Gwen immediately gave his reply—
"Hello, this is not Cang Xuan, nor Danzhu, but Griseo's landlady, Elysia."
Elysia is currently living inside the Stigmata on his body, so in a way, Gwen is Elysia's landlord, no problem.
However, Gwen waited for a while but did not receive a response.
"Have you put down the Invitation Letter that has become a communicator and left the art studio?"
It seems we'll have to wait for the next cycle...
Gwen, still pondering his unconfirmed suspicions, switched to his chat with the second mysterious Netizen—
"It seems you have a lot of confidence in me, but unfortunately your guesses are all wrong—"
I unexpectedly gained a massive amount of knowledge. While it didn't turn me into an idiot, my mind was extremely exhausted from absorbing too much information in a short period. I slept for several days before finally waking up.
When facing this mysterious Netizen whom he had once used as a target for his complaints and emotional outbursts, Gwen was much more relaxed than when he was facing the Robin and Cocolia Rand, and started making fun of himself.
The moment after Gwen sent the message, in a laboratory, a small hand wearing protective gloves, holding a test tube to prepare a solution, involuntarily tightened its grip due to the sudden message notification, spilling all the solution from the test tube.
However, Ruan Mei had no interest in the vial of solution. She casually ripped off her gloves and tossed them aside, then hurriedly walked to the side and picked up the slightly old-fashioned communicator on the table.

Chapter 342 Changes.
Although Ruan Mei's messages to Gwen these past few days seemed far colder than those to others, and she was even calmly speculating about what had happened to Gwen.
But only Ruan Mei knew how many times she had revised her wording before sending the message—
Ruan Mei, who is skilled at using language to communicate, is surprisingly clumsy when facing someone with whom she can communicate without having to hide too much.
Seeing that the communicator did indeed display an unread message from Gwen, Ruan Mei quietly breathed a sigh of relief without even realizing it. Then, with practiced ease, she opened the chat interface, her slender fingers lightly tapping, and after editing a message, she was about to send it when her finger hovered over the send button without pressing it.
After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Mei clicked delete and finally sent only a short message—
"Yes, congratulations."
"Aren't you curious about what kind of knowledge could have kept me unconscious for seven whole days?"
Upon seeing the other party's indifferent response, Gwen couldn't help but feel like talking.
"If you're curious, will you tell me?"
Upon seeing Gwen's question, which sounded like a child seeking attention, Ruan Mei, sitting at the table, couldn't help but smile, her long legs under her white coat casually crossed over.
"Well... in short, it can be understood as a record of all the preparations made by an old man who wanted to take revenge on the gods."
Gwen pondered for a moment and then summarized the contents of his notes.
"Although this is a somewhat one-sided view, from a practical point of view, this is indeed the purpose of summarizing this knowledge."
"Gods?"
Upon seeing Gwen's message, Ruan Mei couldn't help but show a hint of interest—
