Vita: How Did You Know I've Never Done It Before? / Sa: This Is a Necessary Sacrifice

"Loquacious."

Gwen raised his hand and tapped Vita on the forehead.

"Ugh, I hate it..."

Vita immediately covered her head, staring at Gwen with teary eyes.

With Vita's antics, a cheerful atmosphere filled the group.

"Alright, take a rest, we still have a long way to go."

Gwen raised his hand to rub Vita's slightly reddened forehead, then pulled her aside. Warm energy flowed into Vita's body through their clasped hands, soothing her tired body.

Vita, feeling a warm sensation in her body, did not resist, but her mouth continued to chatter—

"Let me stay here and take a look. I've been in the Sea of Quantum for so many years, and I've never seen anyone who can invert the World Bubble into their body like this..."

Chapter 392 Vita: How do you know I haven't done it yet?

This time, however, Gwen did not respond to Vita.

"Um?"

Not receiving the expected response, Vita, who was gazing longingly at the Stargazer, turned to look at Gwen, only to be met with a flash of cold light.

"!"

Instantly, Vita's eyes widened, revealing a facial expression that could be made into a meme—

"Even if I disobeyed, it doesn't warrant this, does it?"

Gwen ignored Vita's words, his hand holding the Xuanyuan Sword version of the Corona Sword remained unmoved, gently pressing it against Vita's fair neck.

"Oh, Brother Gwen!"

Seele, who was Stargazer, looked up when she heard this and exclaimed in surprise when she saw what was happening.

Seele couldn't understand why Gwen, who was laughing and joking just a moment ago, was now turning his sword against Vita.

In contrast, Valkyrie Quicksilver, who had just watched the two playfully bickering for a while, frowned slightly and subtly shielded Seele and the sleeping Stargazer behind her—

Seele may become very strong in the future, but for now, she is stronger.

As for Gwen's current actions... Valkyrie Quicksilver believe Gwen wouldn't do something like this for no reason; it must be that Vita is the problem.

"No, are you serious?"

Seeing that Gwen still wouldn't let go, Vita's pretty face showed surprise, along with a hint of annoyance, as if she had been dealing with an overly inappropriate joke.

However, Gwen remained unmoved by Vita's rebuke, his sword still firmly pressed against Vita neck.

At the same time, Gwen did not let go of Vita's hand; instead, he gripped Vita tightly. Golden light shone from their clasped hands, and powerful energy surged into Vita's body, quickly suppressing the energy within her.

"I'm not playing around."

Seeing Vita's incredulous expression, Gwen finally spoke, but his words sent Vita's heart sinking deeper into despair—

"Instead, they actually put a sword to your neck—"

Vita, or rather... Sa's agent.

"..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Vita fell silent, the rich expressions on her pretty face vanishing quickly, leaving only silence.

Although it's unclear why Gwen was able to immediately reveal his identity, there's no point in continuing the act now that he's been recognized.

"..."

On the other side, Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele looked at each other, completely unable to understand what Gwen was saying.

"It seems you've already tacitly agreed."

Seeing the eerily calm expression on Vita's face, Gwen raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

"Now that you've exposed my identity, what's the point of denying it to the death?"

Vita shrugged casually, a relaxed expression appearing on her usually indifferent face.

She could feel that as Gwen's power continued to flow in, the power she could draw upon within her body was becoming increasingly scarce.

But now, she's like a fish on a chopping board; any further struggle is futile.

Since she can't do anything anyway, why should she make things harder for herself?

Despite her life being threatened, Vita unexpectedly felt a sense of relief.

"..."

Seeing Vita's reaction, Gwen raised an eyebrow.

This reaction is not what you'd expect from the anti-Sasuke Vita.

After sending Seele a message asking them to wait, Gwen raised his hand and set up several layers of barriers, preventing Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele from seeing or hearing anything from their location. Only then did he look curiously at Vita—

"You don't seem worried about your life being in danger?"

"Worrying won't help, so just relax..."

Vita shrugged upon hearing this, but her gaze fell on the barrier beside her, and she even poked at it with her finger—

"Um?

This is..."

"Just a little trick, after all, I don't want to leave a bad impression on Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele."

Gwen gave a vague answer.

"Um?

"Are you planning to do something inappropriate for children Gwen?"

Upon hearing this, Vita's eyes crinkled into a smile as she looked at Gwen.

"I just don't want them to see too much blood and violence."

Having finally completed the sealing of Vita's power, Gwen revealed a faint smile—

While Vita is not weak now, she is still far from being as powerful as she was in the original story when she stole the power of So.

Vita was easily defeated after Gwen seized the initiative.

"Bloody violence?"

Vita looked thoughtful, then turned to Gwen with a surprised expression—

"You know I've never even done something like this before?"

"..."

This time, it was Gwen's turn to be indifferent.

After a moment of silence, Gwen slowly spoke—

"What kind of bizarre things are in the knowledge that Saha has instilled in you?"

"Hehe, don't worry, it's guaranteed to be very clean. I learned all this from my travels through various World Bubble."

Seeing Gwen's expression, Vita's pretty face immediately lit up with a sweet smile again. She even patted her ample bosom and took two steps forward with a grin, as if hinting at something.

Beneath her relaxed exterior, Vita felt a surge of curiosity—

"He actually made that expression... It seems his malice towards me isn't that great?"

And as she expected, Gwen's sword deflected lightly without harming her.

"... Then I have to wonder what you've been watching in those World Bubble."

Seeing Vita's bold probing, Gwen rolled his eyes and casually put away the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.

"Hehe, if you want to know, I can show you all of them once..."

Having confirmed her thoughts, Vita became even more unrestrained, leaning close to Gwen and speaking meaningfully.

"..."

Seeing Vita grinning again after just a few words, Gwen was unsure whether to admire Vita for being the Masked Fool or to praise her mental fortitude for realizing so quickly that he wasn't going to make a move against her.

Looking at that alluring smiling face, Gwen suddenly lowered his head—

Thump!

"Hey, why are you knocking on me again!"

Covering her bright red forehead with both hands, Vita stumbled back two steps, looking at Gwen with teary eyes as if accusing him of his sneak attack.

"If you jump like that again next time, it won't just be a headbutt."

Gwen glared at the woman who had started to lose her temper after only three sentences, and without giving her a chance to reply, he got down to business—

"Tell me, why are you targeting me?"

"Because you are my dearest child..."

Upon hearing the question, Vita had already prepared her answer, replied without hesitation.

Immediately following was another cry of pain, and Gwen's warning—

"This is the second time. Don't force me to say it a third time."

Chapter 393: This is a necessary sacrifice.

"But what I just said was the truth..."

Vita looked at Gwen with a miserable expression, her face full of "sadness" at not being trusted.

Seeing that Vita still showed no sign of changing her mind, Gwen frowned, pondered for a moment, and then made his request—

"... speak in chronological order, using simple, unadorned language."

"All right..."

Hearing Gwen's words, which effectively shut down any room for her to play word games, Vita puffed out her cheeks, but then became obedient. A hint of reminiscence appeared on her pretty face as she slowly said—

"Although I don't know where you got this information, since you know who I am, you must also know something about me, right?"

"I know a little bit."

Gwen looked at Vita, who finally seemed more serious, and nodded gently.

"That makes things simple."

Vita clapped her hands upon hearing this.

"Not long ago... I discovered a child who had not been completely swallowed by the Sea of Quantum in the aftermath of the destruction of a World Bubble, which was you in the past."

However, although you were protected and not directly swallowed by the Sea of Quantum, you were still in a very dangerous situation.

The protection you possess is ultimately like water without a source; without replenishment, it will soon run out, and you will completely disappear into this Sea of Quantum.

"So, you saved me?"

Upon hearing Vita's words, Gwen looked enlightened.

"Of course..."

Seeing that Gwen was cooperating with her for once, Vita nodded with a smile.

"How could kind-hearted Sister Vita bear to watch her little brother, who had survived such a disaster, lose his life?"

"I went to great lengths to modify your body so that the protective mechanism on you could function properly, allowing you to adapt to the Sea of Quantum to some extent and maintain the operation of the protective device."

"So after ensuring I wouldn't die instantly in the Sea of Quantum, you threw me out of there?"

Gwen crossed his arms, looked at the woman in front of him with her hands on her hips, head held high, waiting for praise, and asked expressionlessly.

After learning about his origins and confessing to Rita, Gwen also learned about his past from the maid.

According to Rita, Gwen was floating directly in the Sea of Quantum when she and You Lan Dai Er discovered him on their return journey and brought him back to the Eigenworld.
