The Dual-Blade Firefighter
Upon hearing Gwen's brow twitched slightly, and he shifted his gaze back to Changguang beside him—
"If you don't mind, I don't mind either."
"Don't mind anything?"
The next moment, Changguang suddenly turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Gwen, a faint smile curving her lips—
"In this armory where there are only the two of us, and the surveillance can be turned off at any time, what do you intend to do, Gwen?"
What do you want me to do?
Seeing the faint smile on Changguang's lips, Gwen asked with a smile.
Based on Gwen's experience with Changguang, this quirky beauty was definitely not in love, but rather wanted to play a trick on him.
"This is my first time, Gwen, aren't you tempted?"
With a delicate pink tongue lightly brushing against the corner of his mouth, Changguang asked meaningfully.
"Then I'll accept your first time without any hesitation, Changguang."
Upon hearing this, Gwen did not hesitate and extended his hand.
Are you serious?
Upon seeing Gwen reach out, Changguang instinctively took several steps back and almost fell. In the end, Gwen pulled him up so he wouldn't fall to the ground.
"Didn't you play it first?"
With one arm around Changguang's voluptuous waist, Gwen whispered in her ear.
Feeling the warm breath that accompanied Gwen's words brush against his cheek, even with Changguang's composure, he couldn't help but feel his cheeks flush, and his voice became slightly flustered—
"I'm referring to the sword in front of me—"
This is the first time I've combined ancient casting techniques with cutting-edge modern science to create a purely cold weapon.
In ancient times, that would have been a divine weapon capable of splitting King Arthur's sword in two with a single strike.
"That's not entirely true."
Gwen smiled upon hearing this, without releasing Changguang. He simply extended his other hand and gently waved it, and the greatsword in front of him automatically came into Gwen's palm. The blade emitted a soft white light and trembled slightly, like a magical weapon wielded by a protagonist in a martial arts novel.
"According to some historical records, the holy sword used by King Arthur was very likely the Heavenly Fire Judgment now..."
"But Changguang, your sword is quite well-forged; I feel it should be enough for my needs."
"If you can get the Plague Gem approved, I might try to forge you a Heavenly Fire Judgment for fun."
Upon hearing this, Changguang's lips curled up slightly. Although his body was still a little stiff because of the hand still behind him, his tone of voice returned to normal.
"What's the point of forging another Heavenly Fire Judgment? Why not try something new, like creating a final weapon for the ultimate battle?"
Gwen casually brandished his greatsword, chuckling sarcastically.
"I'm not from the Far East, why would I do something that could end up costing me my life?"
Changguang reached out and pinched Gwen's arm, but when he found he couldn't twist it, he gave up and asked instead.
"Speaking of which, Gwen, what do you want with a weapon that can't efficiently utilize Honkai Energy but has maximum heat resistance?"
Although its strength is decent, in a real fight, it's about as tough as an unbreakable steel needle against the Honkai Emperor.
"I have a brilliant plan."
Gwen smiled, without explaining that he needed a Honkai Energy weapon without Honkai energy to go to Belobog.
Gwyn casually slung the sword behind his back, then leaned close to Gwen 'Changguang ear again and chuckled softly—
"Also, it's best to avoid making these kinds of jokes."
Otherwise, if I ever actually take this seriously, Changguang, you'll have to change your name to Elizabeth Caslana.
Having said that, Gwen released Changguang, turned around, grabbed another greatsword of the same type, and left the armory.
"..."
After watching Gwen's figure disappear through the doorway, Changguang, feeling somewhat weak, leaned against the weapon rack and relaxed, muttering to himself with a slightly flushed face—
"You brat, you want me to change my surname? Believe me or not, I'll squander your entire family fortune..."
Ignoring Changguang's incessant chatter, Gwen, armed with his weapons and spares, left the St. 1504 Research Institute and took off, departing from Destiny Headquarters.
During this time, Gwen had taken care of the preparations he needed to make before leaving, and after picking up his weapons, it was time for him to set off.
As Gwen activated his teleportation ability, the golden meteor streaking across the sky vanished abruptly...
Given the claim before his journey that the "Cocoon of the End was suspected to be a modified star core," Gwen chose to convert all of his Honkai Energy before heading to Belobog.
If there is indeed a connection between the two, and the Star Core Belobog has learned the methods of Honkai, then the Star Core Spirit's first task would not be to successfully seal the Star Core after a classic and somewhat clichéd story, but rather to figure out how to fight the Herrscher.
Naturally, Honkai Energy, who doesn't even plan to use Gwen energy, wouldn't bring along any weapons that require Honkai Energy to power them.
In order to make the fight easier, Gwen wanted these two greatswords that were pure melee weapons, without any Honkai Energy conductivity or enhancement properties, only hardness, sharpness, and maximum heat resistance.
The next moment, Gwen's vision blurred, and he found himself in a dimly lit room, having traveled from a cloudless sky.
How are you feeling?
Before Gwen, Cocolia Rand, dressed in formal attire, exuding both authority and a chilling, military aura, looked at Gwyn, who was also dressed in Schicksal's standard combat uniform and carrying two greatswords on his back, and Gwen.
"Hmm... the energy is stable, it feels great."
After sensing his own condition and confirming that the Cascade Light Source within his body was stable, Gwen.
"Is everything ready on your end too?"
"We will hold a rally in ten minutes, and then the army will set off."
Upon receiving Gwen's affirmative reply, Cocolia quietly breathed a sigh of relief, her expression softening slightly.
Although acquiring some new technologies from the store gave Cocolia confidence for this counterattack, it would be even better to have a strong ally to back her up.
"You should take this time to rest well."
Seeing the haggard look that Cocolia's makeup couldn't conceal, Gwen sighed.

Chapter 348 The Firefighters with Twin Blades and Blazing Fire.
Gwen was well aware of the torment Cocolia Rand suffered from the whispers of the Star Core.
However, Gwen did not intend to intervene until he could ensure his own safety.
To reiterate, if the Cocoon of the End is indeed a mutant star core, then if Gwen were to learn about the Honkai in his mind, Yaliluo VI would truly be doomed.
"Thank you for your concern, but this is my duty as the Great Guardian."
Upon hearing this, Cocolia Rand shook her head slightly.
"Come on, while we still have some time, let me explain your upcoming task to you."
"Good."
Gwen did not object upon hearing this and followed them.
After walking a few steps from the room, Gwen arrived at the main hall of Clipper Castle.
At this moment, the most prestigious building in Belobog was packed with people, with numerous officials and clerks bustling about, their hands never stopping, making the hall somewhat noisy.
In the hall, Gwen also noticed several figures with the aura of Imaginary Energy.
After a moment's thought, Gwen was able to match most of them with the characters he remembered, only that they looked much younger.
"Your Excellency the Great Guardian!"
Upon seeing Cocolia appear, a tall, rugged-looking blond youth dressed in the uniform of the Silvermane Guard immediately saluted and asked a question.
"No need for formalities, Gepard. How are the preparations going?"
Upon seeing her friend's younger brother, Cocolia smiled slightly and gestured for the young man to relax.
"Your Excellency the Great Guardian, Gepard the Silvermane Guard is ready."
Gepard, who was not yet a garrison officer but just a squad leader, was full of vigor and exuded an inspiring spirit.
"Okay, I believe you. Go back to your seat."
Cocolia patted Gepard on the shoulder, gesturing for him to return to his seat.
Following the direction Gepard had gone, Gwen saw many familiar faces—
The next four Great Guardian, Bronya Rand, and Seele, the butterfly of Fire Moth...
Moreover, Gwen could sense that this small group of people, many of whom were "acquaintances" of his, all possessed some kind of Imaginary Energy aura, clearly indicating that they were all Pathstrider.
If nothing unexpected happens, these are the sharp knives that Cocolia has prepared for this counterattack.
As Gwen sized up these people, many others, including those he was sizing up, were also sizing him up.
After all, it's hard not to notice someone like this carrying two deadly weapons next to the Great Guardian of Cocolia Rand.
Among the crowd, Seele, who had met Gwen once before, was the most excited—
Of all the people, she was the one who knew Gwen's strength best, and therefore she was the most delighted by Gwen arrival.
"Let me introduce you. This is Gwen, a friend of mine, and our ally in this counterattack plan."
Cocolia led Gwen to the Pathstrider and introduced Gwen to them.
"He possesses strength far exceeding that of ordinary Fragmentum Monster. If you encounter any formidable opponents during your assault, do not hesitate to call for backup immediately."
Without giving anyone a chance to question it, Cocolia announced the order directly.
In reality, given Cocolia's current immense prestige in Belobog, even if people had some doubts, they wouldn't bring them up in this setting.
On the contrary, everyone suddenly realized why the esteemed Great Guardian of Cocolia had proposed that somewhat risky plan.
After announcing the order, Cocolia Rand explained to Gwen—
"In response to the Split Monsters, we have formed several elite squads, led by Pathstrider, to fight against the powerful individuals that could cause trouble for the main force."
However, the monsters in the Rift are elusive, and it's unknown whether any new types of monsters have appeared in recent years.
Therefore, please pay close attention.
"Leave it to me, I'm very familiar with the job of a firefighter."
Gwen nodded upon hearing this, and with a wave of his hand, scattered more than a dozen small golden orbs, which fell into the hands of the crowd.
"Although you should have a sound communication system, just to be on the safe side, you should still bring this."
If you encounter an insurmountable enemy, crush them, and I will arrive to your aid as quickly as possible.
"Take it, and don't hesitate when you need it."
Cocolia chimed in, which finally convinced the Pathstrider to accept the gift.
Seeing that everyone had put away the golden beads that Gwen had taken out, Cocolia Rand nodded, glanced at the time, and waved vigorously—
"Let's go, everyone, it's time for the oath-taking ceremony."
In the square in front of Clipper Castle, Cocolia delivered a passionate speech to the orderly ranks of the Silvermane Guard and the onlookers. In the heat of his enthusiasm, which could almost melt away the chill that enveloped the isolated city, he ordered the army to march and sounded the horn of counterattack.
With thorough preparations and the support of numerous new technologies, the Silvermane Guard's counterattack proceeded quite smoothly.
Slay the roaming Fragmentum Monster, install the new equipment provided by the Academy of Sciences, and then continue onward.
However, as the main force ventured deeper into the Rift, the previously roaming Fragmentum Monster quickly became more numerous, even forming clusters of varying sizes, which then attacked the Silvermane Guard's main force.
Even Cocolia's meticulously prepared and best-equipped elite squads were caught in a fierce battle for a time—
Even though the scythe in her hand almost left afterimages, Seele still could not slow down the tidal wave of attacks from the Fragmentum Monster in front of her, and she could not easily rush to the elite monster at the core and kill it as she used to.
After uttering a curse word from the lower city, Seele glanced at her teammates who were in dire straits behind her, gritted her teeth, and crushed the golden bead she had placed in her pocket.
Seele originally intended to keep the bead if the battle wasn't too intense, since it was golden, glowing, and warm, which was quite attractive to Seele.
However, for the sake of the lives of those Heze behind her, Seele had no choice but to abandon this idea.
The very next second after Seele crushed the bead, Gwen's figure appeared beside Seele amidst the scattering golden particles.
"Back off."
With his high-speed movement after transformation and the ability to instantly de-transform to achieve a near-teleportation effect, Gwen swung his greatsword in two, Fragmentum Monster with the Sharp Blade Squad in two.
