Letting Go / Cleansing

Although Kallen still extended her hand to shake Gwen's, her tone was far from friendly.

"Did Otto send you?"

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Realizing that Kallen seemed to have misunderstood something, Gwen didn't hide anything and directly revealed his identity—

"I am not from this world. I accidentally fell into this world not long ago, and met Valkyrie Quicksilver on the night of my arrival, and helped her temporarily solve her problem of blood-sucking urges."

And now, we are preparing to leave this world and return to our original world.

There, perhaps, a way can be found to completely overcome Valkyrie Quicksilver's vampiric urges.

"What?"

Kallen was momentarily taken aback by Gwen's words, which contained so much information.

Himeko, standing beside Kallen, nearly drew her sidearm, but restrained herself, frowning as she stared at Gwen—

Chapter 368 Letting Go.

"Gwen, please don't joke around."

Please forgive my rudeness if you have threatened the safety of Lady Kallen and Miss Theresa.

Compared to Kallen, Himeko, a graduate of a prestigious university, was better able to understand the meaning behind the information Gwen revealed.

Because of this, Himeko concluded that the person in front of her was talking nonsense.

"I never expected to see such a vibrant day with you, Himeko."

Seeing the wary look on the young Himeko, who still had her hair tied in a ponytail, Gwen greeted her with a smile.

"You..."

Himeko was about to reprimand Gwen for his attempt to curry favor when she was horrified to discover that Gwen had suddenly produced a gun. She instinctively reached out to touch it, only to find that her gun had vanished.

However, before Himeko could say anything, Kallen, who had also noticed the weapon in Gwen's hand, tried to snatch the pistol back from Himeko.

However, Kallen's attacks were easily blocked by Gwen, and she was finally pushed back several steps by Gwen's light push.

"Don't be nervous, I mean you no harm."

Gwen smiled, and under the wary gazes of Himeko and Kallen, pointed the gun at his exposed wrist and emptied the magazine.

After several muffled gunshots, Himeko and Kallen fell silent as they watched the twisted bullets whizzing past their feet.

"Being able to ignore the shooting should at least prove that I wasn't just talking nonsense, right?"

Gwen casually tossed the pistol back to Himeko and asked with a smile.

"Can..."

Himeko hurriedly took her sidearm, and although she could hardly believe what she was seeing, she had no confidence to refute it.

"Are you really not someone Otto sent?"

In contrast, Kallen was more composed, staring at Gwen voice.

"I am definitely not the one Otto you know sent."

Gwen nodded in affirmation.

At this moment, Valkyrie Quicksilver, who had been hiding behind Gwen, finally spoke up again—

"Sister, Gwen didn't lie."

Although she still sounded timid, anyone could tell that Valkyrie Quicksilver was no longer as cowardly as she had been when she first met Kallen.

"..."

Hearing that Valkyrie Quicksilver was also speaking up for Gwen, Kallen remained silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and looked at Gwen.

"If you don't mind, could you tell me what Valkyrie Quicksilver has been through during this time?"

" Under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, is there anything you want to say?"

Gwen, however, looked at Valkyrie Quicksilver, who was standing to his side and behind him.

"If you want to say a final goodbye to Kallen, then have a good talk with her."

Although we may return in the future, that will inevitably be a long time from now.

"Um..."

Seeing that Gwen had handed the choice to her, Valkyrie Quicksilver hesitated for a moment, but feeling Kallen's concerned gaze, she nodded hesitantly.

Half an hour later, in a private room at a restaurant, Kallen, having finished listening to Valkyrie Quicksilver's story, frowned and looked at Gwen.

"So, after meeting you, Valkyrie Quicksilver has been staying in that hotel room?"

"Although it wasn't appropriate, I roughly understood Valkyrie Quicksilver's situation, so I didn't let her go out—"

Once I return to my world, these restrictions will naturally disappear.

Gwen did not deny his restrictions on freedom under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, nodding in affirmation.

"But what makes you think you can guarantee that you won't use the Valkyrie Quicksilver's power like Otto did when you go back?"

Looking at the man who had gained the trust of the Valkyrie Quicksilver, Kallen questioned.

"Based on this."

Gwen extended his hand and slowly clenched his fist—

"With my strength and the information advantage I have, I can ensure that Otto will not have any designs on Valkyrie Quicksilver."

On the contrary, trying to help Valkyrie Quicksilver overcome her vampiric urges, and thus trying to eliminate the hidden dangers within Theresa in my world, is what Otto would do.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kallen stared at Gwen's outstretched fist and fell into a moment of silence—

Although she couldn't verify the truth of Gwen's words, she now... seemed to have no room for rebuttal, nor the ability to stop it.

Only...

Kallen's gaze shifted slightly to Yuexia, who was sipping her drink Valkyrie Quicksilver a straw, and she felt a pang of worry and reluctance.

Although she does not consider herself to be the Saintess Kallen from five hundred years ago, but rather another person who has awakened from her body and gained some of her Remembrance.

However, Kallen also inherited Kallen's kindness...

At least, Kallen genuinely cared about the Valkyrie Quicksilver that was created to awaken her.

"Call..."

Taking a deep breath, as if trying to dispel all the troubles in her heart, Kallen looked at Gwen sitting opposite her, her expression serious and solemn.

"Gwen, I cannot verify the truth of your words, nor could I stop you from taking away the power of the Valkyrie Quicksilver ..."

Or rather, if what you've said is true, then I really hope you can take Valkyrie Quicksilver.

In this world, there is no future for her under the Valkyrie Quicksilver.

Only by breaking free from this cage can she possibly find the meaning of her life...

"Elder sister..."

Upon hearing Kallen's words, Valkyrie Quicksilver's eyes immediately reddened. The fear she harbored towards Kallen vanished instantly, replaced by deep worry.

"But if I leave, you..."

"Don't worry about me, Valkyrie Quicksilver..."

Kallen smiled slightly at the worry-filled red eyes under the Valkyrie Quicksilver.

"I was not meant to awaken; it is only through your power that I can move in this world."

Even if I fall into a deep sleep again after you leave, it will only be a return to my true self.

"Elder sister!"

Upon Valkyrie Quicksilver could no longer remain calm. She rushed to Kallen and buried her face in her arms.

It was clear to Valkyrie Quicksilver that Kallen's current ability to move freely was almost entirely due to her own abilities.

By letting her leave this world, Kallen was essentially giving up her own life!

Sister and younger sister, the resurrected person and the tool of resurrection, finally let down their guard at this moment and showed each other their truest thoughts. Seele and Himeko, who were watching from the side, had tears in their eyes. They were happy that the two were able to reveal their true feelings, but saddened by the separation of life and death that was about to follow.

However, as the only man present, Gwen was equally moved, but he did not get caught up in it; instead, he looked thoughtful.

Only when Valkyrie Quicksilver, who had buried her head in Kallen's arms, looked up with teary eyes, did Gwen cough lightly.

Seeing that all four eyes were on him, Gwen smiled slightly and extended his hand to Kallen—

"Miss Kallen, would you mind if I checked your physical condition?"

Although I'm not a full-time therapist, I might be able to offer you some small assistance.

"Um?

"Of course, no problem."

Kallen had just poured her heart out to Valkyrie Quicksilver, agreed without hesitation upon hearing this.

Chapter 369 Washing.

Gwen channeled his mental energy into Kallen 'Kallen body through physical contact and began to examine her condition.

Although most of the healing skills he learned from Sage's Notebook were difficult to use without his own Cosmo, Gwen memorized all the experiences and knowledge recorded therein.

Therefore, after using his mental powers to examine Kallen, Gwen had a general understanding of Kallen's body.

"How is your sister's health?"

Seeing the thoughtful look on Gwen's face, Valkyrie Quicksilver looked at Gwen nervously and asked.

In her memory Valkyrie Quicksilver Gwen, there was always that warm smile on his face.

At this moment, Gwen's expression made Valkyrie Quicksilver's heart sink.

Sensing Valkyrie Quicksilver's mood, the others in the private room felt a chill and all looked at Gwen.

"Ah?"

Sensing the change in the atmosphere around him, Gwen snapped out of his thoughts and gently ruffled his hair under the Valkyrie Quicksilver.

"Don't worry, it's not a completely unsolvable problem."

"Real?"

Upon hearing this, Valkyrie Quicksilver immediately revealed a bright smile of joy—

Although he had decided to leave this world with Gwen, Valkyrie Quicksilver still hoped that Kallen, the one who had given him warmth under Otto's cold and oppressive rule, could have a peaceful end.

"Um."

Gwen flicked his finger at the girl's delicate nose under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, causing her to blush and turn away. Only then did he look at Kallen eyes were also shining brightly.

"Miss Kallen, your body..."

Kallen briefly explained Gwen's condition and offered a solution.

"Therefore, if you want to break free from your dependence on the power of the Valkyrie Quicksilver, you only need to replace the energy that the Valkyrie Quicksilver provides with another kind of energy."

At the same time, because the new energy lacks the characteristics of Valkyrie Quicksilver power, treatment is still needed in other areas.

"It sounds like we're changing the energy source, so we need to make major changes to the machine's power supply."

Himeko patted her forehead, realizing her blind spot.

"That understanding isn't wrong."

Gwen nodded.

"But if targeted treatment is needed, ordinary hospitals probably cannot do it."

Kallen frowned.
