An Unexpected Find

Sue stared at Gwen's smile for a long time before nodding slightly in acknowledgment, though her eyes remained fixed on Gwen.

In Sue's memory, the origin of this rumor was Elysia.

The person who eventually spread this rumor died a thousand years ago.

So... where did Gwen find out?

"And indeed, you are quite special."

"Looks like I'm registered with you too?"

Gwen asked with a smile.

"I wouldn't say I'm paying attention—"

Su Wenyan gently shook his head, his gaze shifting slightly to look at You Lan Dai Er—

"I have been observing the World Bubble related to Miss Bianca recently."

I haven't paid much attention to you yet—

After all, unlike Miss Bianca who still appears in some World Bubble, I haven't observed you in other World Bubble.

While isolated cases are valuable, my mission is to find a way to combat the Honkai by observing parallel worlds.

"It seems that my information disclosure to you is not one-sided."

Gwen nodded upon hearing this, but then a wicked smile crept across his face.

"Su, do you want to guess who told me that secret before?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Su immediately thought of Kevin, whom he had imprisoned in the Sea of Quantum—

Although she didn't pay as much attention to Gwen as she did to You Lan Dai Er, given Kevin, she still noticed Gwen...

Despite not having fully awakened her Stigmata, she was able to establish a mental connection with Kevin... a truly bizarre individual.

But would Kevin still talk about this kind of thing with other people now?

However, after ruling out this possibility, Sue couldn't think of anyone who would have told Gwen such a joke...

Surely it couldn't be that Danzhu left behind a written record back then?

Just as Su was pondering, his mental energy, which he had been keeping a close eye on Gwen, suddenly jolted, causing Su to subconsciously look up and see another pink figure quietly appear beside Gwen.

Upon seeing that figure, Sue subconsciously wondered if she was hallucinating, or if she had fallen under an illusion like You Lan Dai Er beside Gwen.

Seeing Su's bewildered expression, Elysia chuckled, looking at Su with eyes full of amusement—

"What, Su, aren't you happy to see me?"

"... Elysia?"

Hearing that sweet voice that only existed in her Remembrance, even with Su's composure, she couldn't control her emotions at this moment, and slowly uttered that name with a trembling voice.

"Ta-da! It's the real Elysia, isn't it?"

Rarely seeing Sue looking so shocked, Elysia lifted her skirt and twirled around, her long pink hair gently brushing against Gwen's forehead, bringing a strange touch and her girlish, charming words.

"Can..."

Although it was incredibly hard to believe, seeing Elysia's figure, which she had thought only existed in her Remembrance, Su had no choice but to accept the reality that the dead had come back to life.

"It's a pity there are no cameras here, otherwise I would have taken a picture to keep as a keepsake, Su, since it's rare to see you with such a shocked expression."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Su became even more certain that the person in front of him was indeed the Elysia he knew.

Just as Su was in a state of utter confusion, unsure of how to begin, she heard Gwen's voice, tinged with laughter—

"Although there was no camera, there are still photos."

Then, Sue saw Gwen hand a stack of photos to Elysia.

"Hmm, adding this to my favorites."

Looking at the photo in her hand, Elysia smiled with satisfaction.

On the other side, Su, though seemingly unconcerned, couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.

But...

After the initial shock, Su let out a soft breath, regaining her composure, and looked at the two women and one man opposite her—

"Are you... really Elysia?"

Although Elysia on the other side seemed very real, Su, after calming down, still subconsciously began to doubt the authenticity of the matter.

"Hmm... As expected, the rationality of the enlightened ones..."

Upon hearing this, Elysia put away the photo and sighed softly.

"So, these kinds of inexplicable things really do need to be solved in the simplest and most direct way in the end..."

Gwen stood up with a smile, pulled out the Greatsword of Heavenly Fire that he had stuck to the side, and pointed it at the young man opposite him.

"Besides, since you hurt You Lan Dai Er, you shouldn't have any objections to me standing up for her, right?"

Chapter 362 Unexpected Gain.

"Winning or losing does not determine whether something is true or false."

Faced with Gwen's hostility, Sue shook her head gently, seemingly disagreeing with Gwen's words.

However, as he said this, Su Na's spiritual energy, which was scattered throughout this small World Bubble, suddenly began to move.

"But you agree with this approach, don't you?"

Sensing the restless power within the illusion, Gwen grinned and casually swung his sword, unleashing a blinding golden-red sword aura aimed directly at Su.

However, before it could even get close to Su, Gwen, which was powerful enough to severely injure or even kill a Honkai Emperor, had already dissipated into nothingness.

"Indeed, knowledge is also a part of strength."

Upon seeing this, Gwen was not surprised; instead, he showed delight.

"Although your purpose in observing the world was to find a way to fight against the Honkai, you have unknowingly gained much more."

Gwen could sense that Su had not simply used his mental power to resist his attack, but rather used the power of this World Bubble to erase the scorching sword energy—just like in the illusion that day, when Gwen used the entire illusion to condense a sword strike that would kill Hiyori.

Sue did not respond to Gwen's assessment. Instead, a sudden gust of wind swept through the clear, bright World Bubble, sending countless leaves and flowers flying towards Gwen. As for Elysia and You Lan Dai Er, who were originally behind Gwen, they had already been Gwen back in distance.

"Interesting..."

Gwen was not in a hurry to defeat his enemy. He simply parried the attacks and then carefully observed the changes in the world, using his own body to experience the power of heaven and earth.

Gwen's reaction at this moment surprised Sue.

However, as Sue realized that Gwen's physical strength seemed to be much stronger than she had imagined, even beyond her expectations, her attacks became more and more intense.

"This is..."

You Lan Dai Er awoke halfway through the encounter, glanced at the pink-haired girl who had only appeared in the previous environment, then looked at Gwen fighting in the distance. She got up, ready to join the battle to help Gwen, but Elysia grabbed her arm.

"Don't rush, Bianca. For Gwen, this battle may be more than just a battle."

Although it was unclear why Gwen wasn't launching a counterattack, Elysia could tell that Gwen didn't seem to be planning to end the battle quickly.

"You are... Elysia?"

Sensing Gwen, which showed no signs of weakening, You Lan Dai Er hesitated for a moment before stopping and looking at the person beside her.

Even though I've already left the illusion, the people around me are still the ones I only knew in the illusion.

Therefore, You Lan Dai Er wanted to figure out whether he was in an illusion or had returned to reality.

Meanwhile, having experienced Sue's understanding of the world, Gwen decided not to delay any longer.

The Greatsword of Heavenly Fire in Gwen's hand suddenly shone with a blinding light, instantly disintegrating. The melted blade was then rapidly reforged, transforming into a grotesque greatsword.

The multicolored sword energy was casually unleashed by Gwen, but unlike before, it did not dissipate entirely within the hurricane surrounding Gwen. Instead, it directly tore the hurricane and lightning apart, causing Su, who was in the distance, to cough up a mouthful of blood.

Gwen, his greatsword gleaming with a dangerous light, strolled through the dissipating hurricane and stood before Su, smiling as he asked—

"I don't need to directly shatter your World Bubble to determine our relative strength, right?"

In your current state, that would probably have killed you.

"I lost."

Seeing the faint dark golden light flickering on the new form of Heavenly Fire Judgment in Gwen's hand, Su sighed, feeling a deadly sense of crisis, and resigned.

Soon, the sky, which had just been overcast and churning with thunder, cleared up again, and the hurricane and blizzard disappeared without a trace, leaving only the snow on the ground as proof of what had just happened.

"Gwen!"

Seeing that the battle was over, You Lan Dai Er had rushed over, also came to Gwen's side and looked Gwen up and down carefully.

"Don't worry, for me right now, anything less than Herrscher level won't cause me any harm."

Seeing the undisguised concern on You Lan Dai Er's pretty face, Gwen smiled and offered a word of comfort.

After sparring with Su today, Gwen has a clearer and more definite understanding of his own strength.

"But the attacks of the Herrscher are not child's play, nor can they be compared to mine."

If possible, it's best not to try it.

Upon hearing this, Sue shook her head, offering a reminder to Gwen.

Although Su gained some insights from observing countless worlds, his true intentions lay elsewhere, and the elements mixed in with his attacks were not as pure as the Herrscher Authority.

"If I really face Herrscher, I will dodge whenever possible, instead of taking it head-on like before."

Gwen smiled and shrugged.

"Su, how are you?"

When Elysia, who had followed You Lan Dai Er, saw Su, she noticed that something was wrong with her old friend and quickly knelt down to check on him.

"It's nothing, it's just that my body has been a bit overworked from observing the World Bubble over the years."

Sensing the pure spiritual power and genuine emotions, Su simply let go of his doubts and waved with a smile.

"How could you treat your body like this?"

You were the one who told us to take care of ourselves so we could save others...

Elysia frowned, using her recently recovered mental energy to examine Su's condition, her expression growing increasingly serious.

Even with Elysia's newly acquired spiritual power, she could detect that Su's body was now riddled with holes and beyond repair, and her words carried a rare hint of resentment.

"After all, we have limited time, and we must find a viable path before that."

Su smiled nonchalantly, trying to pull her hand away—

"Alright, Elysia, don't waste your mental energy—"

I can sense that your soul is still very weak; please rest and recuperate.

"You should take care of yourself first."

As Elysia spoke, she turned and grabbed Gwen with her other hand—

"Gwen, Gwen, come quick and check on Sue's condition..."

"Um..."

Gwen knelt down following Elysia's pull and began to examine her.

Su, who felt she was merely clinging to her last breath, did not resist, but instead looked apologetically at You Lan Dai Er—

"I'm sorry, Miss Bianca. I said some very hurtful things to you before, because I wanted to verify some things before I died."

"It's alright."

You Lan Dai Er saw Su's face turn ashen and she looked like she might die at any moment, his anger subsided considerably.

But the next moment, Su heard words that were completely unexpected—

"There is still hope, but it's quite complicated."
