"Ah?"

Hearing the almost exasperated voice of Black Seele in her mind, Seele was taken aback.

"It's that notebook I can't see anymore!"

Seeing Seele's dazed expression, Black Seele couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and emphasized.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing Black Seele's words, Seele's eyes immediately lit up—

In her panic, she had completely forgotten about the existence of the Chat System.

After being reminded by Black Seele, Seele immediately realized what was happening and quickly contacted Gwen through the Chat System.

"Brother Gwen, are you hurt?"

Under Seele's expectant gaze, Gwen replied to her message almost instantly—

"It's okay, Seele, I'm fine."

In fact, Gwen was indeed fine. The reason why Seele saw him was simply because the peak energy he had just gathered was too high, and Gwen body was having some difficulty handling it, so he needed some time to recover.

After responding to Seele, Gwen, having caught his breath, let out a soft sigh. Amidst Seele's surprised gaze, he stood up, leaning on his Corona Sword, his back still as tall and proud as ever.

Although absorbing energy beyond his limits made Gwen somewhat uncomfortable, that was all.

For Gwen, every hardship that doesn't kill him only makes him stronger.

"Gwen ——Lv.8.

Power - EX.

Durability - EX.

Dexterity - SSS1999.

Spirit - EX.

Energy – EX.

Energy system: None.

Development Capabilities: Nourish Body with Soul, Nourish Soul with Soul, Ten Directions Bearing, Scorching Infinity, Five Elements Mutual Generation, and the Gene Lock.

Gwen glanced at his stats and a smirk crept onto his face.

"Indeed, while it's very rewarding to grow stronger step by step through arduous training, the feeling of rapidly becoming stronger by relying on external forces is also quite nice..."

—After his all-out attack, Gwen's Strength, which was previously stuck at 1999, has now broken through the limits of Durability and Energy, bringing Gwen attributes to four EX for the first time in history. He only needs Dexterity to reach full EX.

But when Gwen and was in high spirits, looked up, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression—

On the dried-up seabed, the enormous body of the Huo Dou, which had previously appeared ferocious but now looked rather pitiful, still possessed a considerable life force.

According to Gwen, the Huo Dou's life should have been hanging by a thread by now—

However, in Gwen's perception, although the aura on the Huo Dou was weak, it did not dissipate; on the contrary, it was rapidly recovering.

As Gwen looked at Huo Dou, the beast was also staring at Gwen, its blood-red eyes reflecting Gwen's image, as if it wanted to drag him into an endless bloodbath.

"This guy..."

Gwen exchanged a glance with Huo Dou, confirming that his previous perception was not a figment of his imagination, and his gaze became more serious.

Clearly, the enhancements that the Sea of Quantum brings to Huo Dou are not just simple increases in strength and the quantum tortoise shell, but also a certain degree of immortality.

"Roar..."

Whether it was sensing the abnormality within itself or the heavy aura emanating from Gwen, the Huo Dou, lying helplessly on the dry seabed, let out a roar, a hint of human-like defiance appearing on its charred face.

"Oh..."

Seeing this, Gwen chuckled and pulled the Corona Sword from the ground—

Although he has become one with Apollo in a certain sense, this is reality after all, and he is not an anime character who only knows one skill.

Just as Gwen was about to use this half-dead, still defiant cat as a practice run, a voice, unfamiliar yet somehow familiar, suddenly entered his mind—

"Be careful, that guy has mutated after being corrupted by the power of the Sea of Quantum, he won't be so easy to deal with."

"?"

Upon hearing this unexpected voice, Gwen raised an eyebrow and subconsciously turned his head slightly to look behind him.

Amidst the crowd's expressions of surprise, Gwen met a pair of eyes filled with solemnity.

"Is it the person who just smashed right into me?"

After confirming who had sent the alert, Gwen himself inside the Apollo machine raised an eyebrow.

"As expected, this guy is not simple..."

However, Gwen merely nodded slightly before leaping into the air, ignoring what the other party would say next.

Rather than listening to this guy of unknown origin spout words that are hard to verify, Gwen preferred to try it out for himself.

Moreover, this Sea of Quantum is not lacking in hunters who appear as prey, such as a certain second-generation Seele Herrscher, the spokesperson for Sa...

Etc...

Gwyn, who had just taken to the skies and was about to test his many choreographed moves with the Gwen of the Huo Dou, suddenly paused—

"Gray hair, red eyes, appearing in the Sea of Quantum..."

Could this guy really be Vita?

The situation was tense, and Vita, whom he had never seen before, appeared in a completely unfamiliar form, so Gwen was unable to recognize her identity at first glance.

With a moment's thought, Gwen immediately guessed the other party's possible identity—

"And if it really is that guy..."

"I'm afraid that my inexplicable 'shipwreck' encounter and being filmed in this World Bubble is also partly orchestrated by this woman..."

While pondering this, Gwen's actions did not stop. He raised the Corona Sword, and a brilliant golden flame, like the fire of the sun in mythology, ignited from the greatsword...

Amidst the crowd, whose hearts were filled with hope after seeing Gwen nod, Vita, held in You Lan's arms, saw Apollo's towering figure reflected in her eyes, and sighed inwardly—

"He really is an impatient person..."

Although she sighed, a subtle smile quietly appeared at the corner of Vita's lips—

But that's what makes things more interesting, isn't it?

Under the watchful eyes of countless expectant gazes, Gwen the Corona Sword in his hand with fierce force.

Although the magnificent phantom of the giant sword did not reappear this time, the destructive golden sword light was still not to be underestimated.

Two sword energies wreathed in golden flames instantly traversed a vast distance and landed on Huo Dou's already pitiful body— the Demon Seal Slash!

Before the Huo Dou could let out a shrill scream, Gwen, whose figure was elusive in mid-air, thrust out the Corona Sword in his hand, and countless light spikes, like feathers flying all over the sky, fell towards the Huo Dou — Piercing Wind Stab!

Amidst the shrill cries of the Huo Dou, Gwen, who had already landed on the sea, was surrounded by a misty haze as he thrust his greatsword forward with all his might— the Raging Waterfall Pierce!

As light and shadow shifted, Gwen, who had pierced through the Huo Dou, had returned to the dried-up seabed.

Chapter 388 The Honkai of the World.

Gwen gave the Huo Dou no chance to struggle, and the Corona Sword, its metallic sheen sending chills down his spine, slashed down at the Huo Dou once more.

Shocking Thunder Slice!

After this sword strike, Huo Dou's already extremely weak aura plummeted once more, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Gwen also had no intention of giving the Huo Dou time to recover.

The Corona Sword, already enveloped in a thick, earthy yellow halo, rose upwards and Ground Splitting Slash. As if drawn from the earth, the blade of light swelled in the wind, slicing across the suddenly cracked earth and piercing into the massive body of the Huo Dou without any hindrance.

As the five elements converged, the immortality deep within Huo Dou's body, which had sustained its existence until now, was rapidly extinguished.

To Vita's astonishment, Huo Dou's already gruesome and enormous body suddenly froze, as if it had turned into a lifelike stone sculpture, devoid of all life.

"..."

Seeing that the Bane had completely lost its life and was Huo Dou, but still had a string of skills left, Gwen silently stopped.

Turning around to face the crowd looking at him with hopeful eyes, Gwen placed the sword in front of him, his hands clasped on the hilt, with the lifeless body of the Huo Dou behind him, exuding the aura of a war god.

For everyone who witnessed this scene, it was an unforgettable moment.

Apart from...

"That's quite surprising. They actually managed to completely slay that unruly big cat using pure power?"

Although Vita's pretty face showed the same shock as everyone around her, her heart was filled with a mixture of surprise and... pleasant angst.

"In this way, the first meeting that I had been preparing for for several days was completely ruined."

"So, we have to build a new story again..."

For her, the failure of the plan was frustrating, but it was also part of the fun.

While Vita was pondering how to Gwen under the current circumstances, Gwen had already returned to his original form.

However, Gwen did not return to the group, but instead turned to look at the dried-up, cracked seabed—

The ancient ruins that were originally chosen by the Stargazer as the venue to fight against the alien beasts have now been completely destroyed.

And within those ruins, Gwen "saw" the Honkai—

It's not the Honkai Energy, but the Honkai of the world itself.

In other words, the world is about to end.

"This is troublesome..."

Gwen silently cursed himself and went straight back to the group.

However, faced with the crowd that had come to greet him, Gwen didn't even bother with a few pleasantries, instead looking at the Stargazer with a serious expression—

"Stargazer is in big trouble."

"... What is it?"

Stargazer was racking his brains for words, couldn't help but show a nervous expression when he heard Gwen say these words with a serious face.

Behind Stargazer, Rita and You Lan, who had come to greet him, froze on their excited expressions.

What could have caused Gwen, who single-handedly killed the monster, to show such an expression?

"Sigh, let's go over there and talk..."

Gwen sighed, waved his hand, and led Stargazer, Valkyrie Quicksilver, and Seele away from where they stood.

"Mr. Assassin, what exactly is wrong?"

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on the edge of a dried-up seabed by Gwen, and Stargazer's heart became even more worried.

"Stargazer, look here..."

Gwen did not explain directly, but instead pointed to the feet of the group and asked.

"This is..."

Upon hearing Gwen's question, the Stargazer immediately lowered his head to observe.

A moment later, Stargazer frowned as he noticed something familiar on the ground.

Finally, having found the source of this familiarity, the Stargazer looked up in disbelief, staring wide-eyed at Gwen—

"Is this the altar?"

Although all the preparations made before were useless, Huo Dou ultimately defeated the Gwen, Stargazer still had a strong impression of the altar.

"Um."

Gwen nodded gravely, tapping the ground lightly with his toes.

"When the Huo Dou struck before, I was busy moving you all away and didn't have time to deal with this altar."

Now, this altar has been destroyed by the Huo Dou.

"So... the problem is that this altar was destroyed?"
