A Reminder and a Warning.

A familiar voice came from beside her, making Seele relax a little. Turning her head, she saw that familiar gray hair—

"Nata?"

"Um..."

Natasha smiled and nodded, helping Seele sit on the makeshift cot she had just been lying on.

"Like you, I was ordered to rest here because I was too exhausted."

"Um..."

Upon hearing this, Seele frowned, carefully considering her experiences before losing consciousness, and gritted her teeth in annoyance.

"That guy..."

However, realizing that Natasha was right beside her, Seele quickly stopped her fidgeting and looked at her—

"Nata, where is Gwen?"

Before Seele even realized it, the sense of unfamiliarity and distance that had arisen in her heart had quietly dissipated.

"Um?

Gwen?

When Natasha heard that Seele was the first person Gwen asked about after waking up, she was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"He left after I arrived, saying he was going to help transport some supplies."

"You might be able to find him at the logistics department now."

"Nata, you rest here for now, I'll go take a look over there."

Having received the answer, Seele didn't linger at all and got up to walk outside.

"Seele ..."

Seeing Seele's actions, Nata called out, as if she wanted to say something.

"What's wrong."

Seele stopped in her tracks, puzzled, and looked at Natasha with a question in her eyes.

"It's nothing, let's go take a look."

Natasha, who had intended to say something, looked at Seele's innocent expression and put down what she was going to say, smiling and shaking her head.

"Um..."

Seeing that Natasha didn't say anything, Seele left the makeshift house directly.

After leaving the room, Seele realized that she was resting next to the field hospital, and the cries of pain she had heard earlier were coming from there.

Seele glanced at the hospital on the side, but didn't approach.

The girl knew very well that she wasn't Bronya, and that she could help anywhere.

She was just an uneducated savage from the downtown area; going to the hospital would only make things worse.

The girl, whose mood had unknowingly darkened, calibrated her bearings and headed towards the logistics department.

After Seele left, Natasha in the military tent couldn't help but sigh softly—

"Seele, falling for someone who's too dazzling isn't a good thing..."

Although she had never eaten pork, Natasha, who had seen many pigs run, had already seen signs of developing feelings for Seele, but she didn't know how to express them.

After all, Natasha knew almost nothing about Gwen, and she herself was not some kind of emotional expert; if she spoke rashly, it would probably be of little help.

As she pondered, Natasha's consciousness gradually faded—

She wasn't joking. If she hadn't been so exhausted that she almost fainted, she wouldn't have been forced to rest here; instead, she would have been busy at the hospital nearby.

However, before Natasha could fall asleep, the sudden sound of footsteps woke her up.

When Natasha opened her eyes, she was surprised to see Seele was not very good.

"Seele, what's wrong? Didn't you find Gwen?"

Natasha slowly sat up and asked in confusion.

"Nothing."

Seele shook her head, sitting somewhat forlornly on her bed.

"I just went to the logistics department and ran into Bronya. She said Gwen has already returned to his own world."

Upon hearing this, Natasha immediately understood the source of the dejected expression on Seele's face.

Just as Natasha was trying to clear her groggy mind and comfort the girl, Seele suddenly spoke up—

"Nata, you said..."

Leaning against the headboard, the girl's expression held not only loneliness but also a hint of bewilderment.

Can we really win?

If it weren't for Gwen, we probably would have...

"..."

Upon hearing this, Natasha was speechless, realizing that she seemed to have misunderstood... or rather, she had completely placed the girl in the perspective of a child.

"Oh..."

The doctor chuckled softly, came to Seele's bedside, and placed her warm hand on Seele's forehead, causing the girl to turn her empty gaze toward her—

"Seele, do you remember what I once told you—"

More important than the miracle itself is protecting people's expectations of it.

Now that the miracle has occurred, what we need to do is not to doubt whether this miracle will disappear, but to seize this miracle and do everything in our power to ensure that it is not in vain.

"...Um..."

After hearing Natasha's words, Seele pondered for a long time before finally nodding slowly.

In fact, Gwen's arrival this time was not in vain—

With nearly 500,000 points earned, Gwen's savings surged once again.

Having returned to the Honkai world, Gwen looked at his points balance, which had once again exceeded five million, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

"In other words, the system doesn't have the ability to add attributes with points like the main god next door. Otherwise, I would probably have enough points to level up by now."

Looking at his Tianwen number of points compared to the past, Gwen couldn't spend them all at once, but he couldn't help but dream about them.

Gwen has been back from Yaliluo VI for a while now, and has returned to his home from the place where he disappeared. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he is lying back on his bed.

While it would be nice to stay there and enjoy the cheers and celebrate victory with them, Gwen decided to return first, considering that there was still plenty of work to be done in the Honkai world.

After all, Gwen and Otto had agreed on a condition to resurrect Kallen.

Gwen has received a considerable reward from Otto, but during this time he has been either in a coma or absorbing knowledge in his mind, leaving very little time to try to revive Kallen. This inevitably creates resentment and gives Otto the motivation to cause trouble again.

Just as Gwen was preparing to dedicate more time to cultivation and try to gather and attract Kallen's soul, the doorbell suddenly rang, interrupting Gwen's plan.

"Bishop Otto?"

A moment later, Gwen opened the door and was surprised to see Otto smiling at him from outside—

Does this count as referring to Otto, Otto?

354

Chapter 354 A Reprimand and a Warning.

"Look at this."

After Otto took his seat, before he could speak, Gwen threw out a piece of rough-looking ore.

"Um?"

Otto picked up the ore that Gwen had taken out with some doubt, feeling its warmth, and raised an eyebrow.

"This is one of the gains I made from this trip—"

A mineral that can release a considerable amount of heat with simple utilization.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a special ore born under the influence of the power of a great being.

Gwen casually offered an explanation, then poured a glass of water for both himself and Otto.

"Furthermore, according to the information I have, the nature of the force that influences its creation shares certain commonalities with the nature of Honkai Energy— "

I remember that the definition of Honkai Energy in the Schicksal database is Imaginary Internal Energy.

And this energy, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should be Imaginary Energy—

However, this energy may carry some personal imprint or influence of that being, similar to how Honkai Energy relates to Imaginary Energy.

However, this Imaginary Energy should not possess the corrosive and infectious properties of Honkai Energy.

"..."

Otto was toying with the Earth Marrow ore that Gwen had taken out, listened silently to Gwen's explanation, having used almost all of the detection methods of his Soul Steel body to examine the ore.

Only after Gwen finished speaking did Otto turn his gaze from the Earth Marrow ore in his hand and look at Gwen—

"You mean..."

"I am coming into contact with a higher level of power,"

Gwen put down his empty water glass and met Otto's gaze without flinching.

So, don't rush.

Even if the previous methods fail, I can still find other ways to fulfill my promise to you.

Having succinctly expressed his thoughts, Gwen didn't stop, but continued—

"On the day I disappeared, I traveled to another world shrouded in Cold Wave— "

To put it simply, humanity is left with only one final fortress in the face of a global Great Honkai.

Even so, with the continuous emergence of hostile units like Honkai Beast, the living space occupied by humans is constantly being squeezed, and the harsh natural environment of Cold Wave is also looming large.

I assisted them in a counter-offensive, expanded their living space, gained their friendship, and opened up access to a wider world.

That world was not confined to a planet like Earth, but had long been connected to the universe.

However, as a Honkai disaster struck, most people and outsiders chose to leave, while only a portion chose to remain, eventually evolving into the civilization that came into contact with me centuries later.

"..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words of reduction, Otto no longer focused all his computational power on the Earth Marrow ore in his hand, but instead listened carefully and took notes on Gwen's words.

After a moment of silence, Otto put down the Earth Marrow ore in his hand and looked at Gwen with a smile—

"A world shrouded in Cold Wave, comparable to a post-apocalyptic Great Honkai where only a final fortress remains...?"

Approximately how large is that fortress?

How much of the population is left?

What is the social structure like?

How do you plan to... help them?

"..."

Seeing Otto looking like he was about to cause trouble, Gwen couldn't help but facepalm.

"You seem to have misunderstood?"

No.

Otto smiled and shook his head slightly.

"To be precise, I wasn't thinking about what you were planning to do; I was simply thinking about how to maximize my profits."

"As expected of you."

Gwen leaned back on the sofa, looking at Otto across from him with his smile unchanged, and said in a deep voice—

"However, let's still restrain ourselves a bit—"
