A Chance Encounter with Kallen

Gwen had previously learned from the system shop that he possessed a special trait... or rather, a talent, that allowed him to disregard the differences between worlds and obtain the power of different worlds. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to cultivate his own Cosmo.

As time passed, while Gwen continued honing his already incredibly sharp senses through his Cosmo training, searching for that spark to ignite his Cosmo, he had already Gwen the ability to enter and exit the World Bubble.

Using the Mustard Seed in Sumeru of Mount Sumeru given to him by Sumeru, Gwen quickly accomplished this by conducting experiments on the world Sumeru had previously observed.

At the same time, after receiving valuable data from Su, Changguang quickly completed the improvement of Gneisenau, enabling it to guide Gwen in the Sea of Quantum and provide communication support when approaching the Eigenworld, facilitating Gwen's return.

During this time, the girls around Gwen gradually learned that Gwyn was going to leave this world and go to the so-called Sea of Quantum to rescue Bronya's sister.

"To the almost entirely unknown Sea of Quantum?"

That's too risky!

When Gwen informed his team members before his mission that he would be leaving for a while to go to the Sea of Quantum to rescue Bronya's sister Seele, Raiden Mei directly questioned him.

Aside from Bronya, who remained silent with her head down, everyone else expressed concern for Gwen's safety.

It wasn't that they didn't want the Bronya sisters to reunite, but rather that it was simply too risky—

That's not just going abroad or even leaving the country, it's leaving this world altogether, which is far too dangerous.

Fortunately, Gwen, who had been prepared, laid out his preparations and assured everyone that he could return safely no matter what, and was extremely confident that he could bring Seele back safely.

At this point, even Raiden Mei, who had reacted most strongly, stopped opposing and remained silent.

Finally, it was Anna, the Vice-Captain, who broke the silence—

"Now that you're ready, you must come back safely. We're all waiting for you to lead us in the fight against the Honkai."

Although she wanted to stop Gwen, Vice-Captain Anna, unable to find a suitable reason, ultimately chose to support him.

"Well, although I expect to be back soon, I'll be leaving the team in your care while I'm gone, Anna."

Seeing that the uneasy girl ultimately chose to support him, Gwen smiled and gave her some advice.

"Don't say things like that at a time like this..."

Kiana, who seemed as carefree as ever, patted Gwen on the shoulder.

"I remember in the Far East, this is called setting a flag, which is very unlucky."

"Then I'll sacrifice Kiana's good luck for the next year, hoping that I can successfully bring Seele back."

Upon hearing this, Gwen smiled and gently patted Kiana's head.

"Here you go, here you go. If one year isn't enough, I'll give you three years. The worst that can happen is that I won't win the lottery for three years."

Kiana angrily slapped away Gwen's mischievous hand, but her words said something else entirely.

"Ha ha..."

As Gwen and Kiana playfully bickered, the previously heavy atmosphere immediately lightened.

After chatting for a while, the girls said their goodbyes and left, so that Gwen could get some rest before the mission.

However, Gwen ultimately kept Rita, who had also participated in the conversation that evening and helped Gwen persuade the others.

"Rita ..."

Seeing the maid looking at him with a puzzled expression, Gwen hesitated, unusually, wondering whether he should do that.

"Um?

Is there anything I can help you with?

Seeing Gwen's unusual hesitation, Rita couldn't help but feel curious.

"Come in and talk."

Gwen sighed and pulled Rita into his study.

In the study, Rita sat obediently beside Gwen, her eyes reflecting Gwen's profile.

Gwen her to the study, a private space, because what he had to say was obviously important. Rita then shed her maid-like demeanor and showed a more approachable, girlish side to Gwen.

"Rita, will you believe me?"

Feeling the warmth emanating from the girl's delicate body beside him through her clothes, Gwen finally made up his mind and asked softly.

"The kind that involves risking your soul."

"Um?"

Rita blinked in confusion when she heard Gwen's seemingly nonsensical question.

"..."

Seeing the puzzled look on Rita's pretty face, Gwen didn't explain further. He simply took out an exquisitely beautiful Invitation Letter and handed it to Rita.

"This is a special Invitation Letter. Once opened, you will receive an item that allows you to contact me with almost no restrictions."

Furthermore, if you agree to Soul Binding, this item will reside directly within your soul, and no one can take it away. As long as you remain conscious, you can communicate with it.

This time, Gwen estimates that he may need to be away for quite some time to bring Seele back from the depths of the Sea of Quantum.

Although Otto has temporarily calmed down, no one can guarantee that the Honkai won't erupt when Gwen leaves, turning one of Gwen's adorable teammates into Herrscherization.

Therefore, Gwen needs insurance.

Gwen chose Rita—

Cocolia Rand and Robin, who share the same worldview, and even Griseo, who is in the same Solar System, all received Invitation Letter. There is no problem in giving an Invitation Letter to someone you can trust.

Chapter 367 An unexpected encounter with Kallen.

Upon hearing Gwen's introduction, Rita's pretty face couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity—

The statement, made by Gwen on his journey to the Sea of Quantum, that they would disregard the distance of time and space, carries extraordinary significance.

Rita took the Invitation Letter from Gwen and gently opened the exquisite Invitation Letter with her slender fingers, causing it to radiate a soft glow.

A moment later, the halo dissipated, and what appeared in Rita's hand was no longer the Invitation Letter, but a small children's cell phone with a cute pink logo printed on it.

"!"

Seeing this children's phone, which she should have carefully treasured in her childhood memories, Rita's last trace of doubt dissipated.

Beside Rita couldn't help but smile as he looked at Gwen pink children's phone in her hand.

Noticing the smile in Gwen's eyes, Rita blushed slightly, pretending not to notice Gwen gaze, and followed Gwen guidance to find the binding option.

Then, under Gwen's watchful eye, the pink children's phone in Rita's hand, which had clicked on the blank profile picture, disappeared.

Before Gwen could be surprised by Rita's decisiveness, a new message notification popped up in his mind—

"Gwen, is that so?"

Gwyn glanced at the messages in his mind 'Chat System, then at Rita beside him, who was all smiles, Gwen appeared on his lips.

"Rita, you trust me that much?"

Even choices involving the soul are made without hesitation?

Would you hurt Rita?

Hearing this somewhat childish question, Rita smiled slightly, tilted her head gently, and revealed the eye that was hidden by her hair.

"Of course not..."

Seeing Rita, usually so elegant and composed, reveal this girlish side, Gwen immediately recalled the soft taste of those lips. He stretched out his arm and pulled her boneless body into his embrace, kissing her pink lips forcefully.

"Rita is someone I need to protect with my whole life..."

The next morning, after washing up, Gwen did not exercise with the others. Instead, he made a thought and disappeared from his living room.

"Have they already left?"

Soon, Otto received news that Gneisenau's signal had disappeared from the Eigenworld.

"Thousand Worlds, One Law did not detect any signal of opening the Sea of Quantum passage at the Destiny Headquarters."

Opposite Otto, Su, with his eyes closed, made a couple of simple moves and calmly said.

"That's normal. After all, the child met Miss Seele when he entered the Sea of Quantum through a special means."

Otto was not surprised by this and said with a smile.

"I just don't know when he will be able to return to the vicinity of the Eigenworld, the area where Gneisenau can send back signals."

"I believe this world won't last long."

Otto smiled and stated his conclusion—

Otto believed that, based on his understanding of Gwen, he wouldn't linger in the Sea of Quantum for too long.

After all, delays can lead to unforeseen changes.

Meanwhile, Gwen had already arrived at the hotel where Seele and Valkyrie Quicksilver were staying.

"Brother Gwen!"

Upon seeing Gwen as scheduled, Seele couldn't help but let out a small cheer.

Good morning, Seele.

Faced with the jubilant girl, Gwen gave Seele a warm hug, then looked to the side at the Valkyrie Quicksilver and, to the girl's astonishment, gave her a hug in return.

When she left Gwen's embrace, the girl who had been looking Valkyrie Quicksilver Seele with some envy just moments before had her face flushed red.

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

Seeing the girl's flushed face, Gwen asked knowingly.

"No... no..."

Upon hearing this, Valkyrie Quicksilver immediately shook her head vigorously, her bangs swaying as she shook her head.

"Hehe..."

Seeing the shy expression on the girl's pretty face, Gwen chuckled softly, gently ruffled the girl's now smooth, silvery-white hair, and said softly.

"Although Seele already asked before, I'm asking one last time now—"

Under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, are you ready to leave this world with us and go to our world?

I've made up my mind!

Upon hearing Gwen's question, Valkyrie Quicksilver was still somewhat shy, immediately calmed down and gave an answer without hesitation.

Although she was reluctant to leave her sister, Valkyrie Quicksilver felt that leaving this world was the best choice for her sister.

"In that case, let's go."

Seeing that Valkyrie Quicksilver had made her decision, Gwen smiled and nodded as he stroked the girl's soft hair.

However, just as Gwyn was leaving the hotel with Seele and Valkyrie Quicksilver under the strange gazes of the hotel receptionist, Gwen stopped in his tracks—

Outside the hotel, Gwen and his companions unexpectedly encountered two people who were not surprising to Gwen—

"Elder sister..."

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Valkyrie Quicksilver, who had been so resolute in the hotel, immediately hid her head behind Gwen, revealing only half of her face, and called out timidly.

"Theresa?"

Upon hearing the timid call from under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, Kallen incredulously uttered the Valkyrie Quicksilver's name—

Kallen never expected to see Theresa, whom she had been searching for, outside the hotel where she had been staying for so long.

Beside the stunned Kallen, Himeko, with her red hair, was equally astonished that the person she had been searching for was staying at the same hotel as her, but her hand had already reached for the pistol at her waist—

Ostensibly a police officer, but actually Kallen's bodyguard, she is unlike Kallen, whose attention is entirely focused on the Valkyrie Quicksilver. She is very wary of Gwen, the stranger who has abducted the Valkyrie Quicksilver they have been searching for.

"You must be the sister under the Valkyrie Quicksilver?"

Looking at Kallen in front of him, Gwen smiled and extended his hand.

"Hello, I am Gwen, and I am preparing to take the Valkyrie Quicksilver to find the meaning of life."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kallen immediately snapped out of her daze and turned her gaze to Gwen was standing in front of her under the Valkyrie Quicksilver.

However, Kallen immediately became alert after noticing Gwen Caslana's signature white hair and blue eyes.
