Vita, Cast Aside

Rita wouldn't lie to him, so the problem must lie with Vita.

No...

Upon hearing this, Vita's eyes widened slightly, and her pink lips pouted slightly.

"You know my situation; it's impossible for me to take you around everywhere. So I was very careful not to damage your protective gear, which made me sweat profusely."

However, it seems that the program was pre-designed by the person who left that protection for you, or perhaps it had already reached its limit.

When I finally let you continue your wanderings, I discovered that the protective mechanisms on you seemed to have malfunctioned.

But by then, I had already let you go. A wave crashed over the Sea of Quantum, and I couldn't find you anymore.

At this point, Vita showed a look of emotion—

"To be honest, at that time I thought that parting was my last goodbye to you..."

You have no idea how excited I was when I felt the mark left on you being triggered.

After all, although I'm not a good person, I've helped many people in this Sea of Quantum over the years.

Yet, out of all these people, only you successfully triggered the mark I left behind.

"... So it seems I've repaid kindness with enmity..."

Hearing Vita's explanation, Gwen, though still skeptical of the oddities involved, nodded slightly in agreement.

Vita, seemingly oblivious to the playful undertone in Gwen's words, puffed out her ample chest and protested—

"Exactly, exactly! You didn't hold back at all when you attacked such a kind sister like Vita..."

Even though Vita is wearing that loose-fitting long dress, her voluptuous figure still makes it hard to look away.

"Now let's talk about what's happening now—"

"That sudden energy tide I experienced before, you must have been behind it, right?"

Looking at this guy who was even more eccentric than Changguang, Gwen asked a question that made Vita's expression stiffen slightly.

How could that be?

"Look how pitiful, weak, and helpless I am, easily captured and bullied by you. How could I possibly make such a commotion?"

With a slightly embarrassed smile on her pretty face and her eyes darting away, Vita retorted weakly.

"You may not be able to, but you still have Him behind you, don't you?"

Seeing Vita's terrible acting, Gwen said calmly.

"..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Vita seemed to trigger some kind of program; the comical smile on her pretty face vanished, replaced by an indifferent expression.

"Yes, it was indeed me who did it—"

The direction you left in was very close to that place; perhaps you could bring back information about the Abyss.

"?"

Looking at Vita, whose demeanor was indifferent and who showed almost no emotional fluctuation, Gwen raised an eyebrow.

"Suo?"

"..."

Vita remained silent, only nodding slightly.

"Oh..."

Gwen chuckled softly upon hearing this.

How does it feel to catch a fish you cast a wide net before approaching your agent, only to have an unexpected bonus?

"Hand over the method of inversion."

Sa's words are simple and direct.

"Can."

Gwen nodded, but a faint golden aura rose from his body—

"But what can you offer in return?"

And... with just this agent I sealed away, what right do you have to speak to me like that?

As he finished speaking, Gwen raised his right hand and gently beckoned to Vita.

Then, with a deep look in her eyes that was different from Vita's, Vita stepped forward and nestled herself into Gwen's arms, even letting Gwen's hand rest on her delicate neck.

"..."

To this, Su remained silent, offering no comment on whether it was merely a remotely controlled proxy body or something similar.

His increasingly subdued emotions and thoughts rendered him incapable of responding to Gwen's provocations.

"It seems your emotions and thinking have deteriorated quite severely..."

Seeing Vita's reaction, Gwen stroked Vita smooth skin with his fingers and commented with a sigh.

"This is... a necessary sacrifice."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, a hint of surprise appeared on Vita's indifferent face, but she eventually regained her composure.

"But it might be meaningless."

Upon hearing Gwen felt somewhat relieved.

"No matter how sturdy you build your ship, it will eventually run aground and sink if there is no harbor to dock in."

Chapter 394 Vita, the Abandoned

"..."

Faced with Gwen's assessment, So fell silent again, saying nothing more.

"Oh..."

Seeing Gwen chuckled, lowered his head and whispered in So's ear.

"Besides, no matter how nice your new house is, it can never compare to your original house, can it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gwen could clearly feel the hot, delicate body in his arms stiffen for a moment.

"Flusha..."

He murmured the name of his hometown, a hint of reminiscence and... fear showing on his usually indifferent face.

"That place has long been swallowed by the abyss; the only way is to stay away..."

"But if you can completely defeat the Honkai, which is what you call the Abyss, wouldn't you want to come back?"

Gwen did not discuss with So whether He was frightened by the defeat, but whispered in So's ear like a tempting demon.

"!"

At this moment, the calm expression on Sora's face could no longer be maintained, and she turned to look at Gwen—

"You can't do it."

Although she only arrived through Vita's body, which was already under Gwen's control, So was still able to sense Gwen's power.

According to Sora's senses, Gwen is now very strong, and may even be able to face her true form.

However, Gwen was still too weak in the face of that unsolvable abyss.

"But you were captured by someone as weak as me."

Gently licking his delicate earlobe, Gwen continued in that alluringly soft tone—

"Moreover, it only took me less than three years to grow to this level of strength after being sent away by Vita— "

In the time it takes for your third planet after Friusa to orbit its star three times, I went from the state your agent initially saw to possessing my current strength.

"..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, So's gaze shifted slightly.

Through her interactions with Gwen, her increasingly detached emotions and degenerated thinking began to return slightly, enabling her to understand the meaning behind Gwen's words.

However, So's next reaction surprised Gwen.

"You... have come into contact with the Eigenworld?"

"That's right, that's where I came from, to the Sea of Quantum to save people."

Gwen admitted it without hesitation.

Then, to Gwen's incredulous gaze, the indifferent aura that didn't belong to Vita vanished abruptly, and her eyes became empty and lifeless, as if her soul had been ripped out.

Moreover, Gwen could feel that the power that had been firmly suppressing Vita's strength was being subjected to an unparalleled impact when he sent it into Vita body.

If Gwen hadn't intervened in time, the seal would probably have been broken by now.

A moment later, some light returned to Vita's empty eyes—

"Um?"

Seeing the blank look in Vita's eyes, Gwen raised an eyebrow—

"She's gone?"

"..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Vita immediately looked at Gwen, a puzzled expression appearing on her pretty face—

"Um."

"..."

Even though he had some suspicions, Gwen was still speechless for a moment.

"Is your family's god such a coward?"

"..."

Vita remained silent in response.

So's reaction surprised Gwen, but she was the one who felt it most keenly.

She bears the various limitations and marks left on her body since she was created.

Now, those restrictions that Vita hated so much in the past have completely disappeared without a trace.

Even though Vita paid a price for it—

"Um?"

Gwen, who was about to tease Vita, saw blood suddenly flowing from Vita's mouth, nose, ears, eyes, and other orifices. Realizing that something might have happened to Vita, he quickly checked on Vita condition.

However, Gwen was shocked to find that Vita's body had become a dilapidated house with drafts everywhere, and it would soon collapse on its own even if no one kicked it.

"Sagan?"

Realizing the problem with Vita's body, Gwen did not hesitate for a moment. He mobilized all the power he had used to suppress Vita and began to repair the dilapidated house that had been destroyed by the internal explosion of Sorabo.

"Um..."

Feeling the cool sensation within her body that lessened the burning pain, and the warmth that fought against the gradually encroaching cold, Vita nodded gently, her expression incredibly complex—

"When she left, in order to erase her own traces, she removed all the traces she had left on me."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Gwen was at a loss for words.

From Sa's perspective, it's not unreasonable to decisively abandon Vita as a pawn in the face of the threat from the abyss.

But for Vita, this was rather cruel.

"Call..."

Seeing the complex expression on Gwen's face, Vita let out a long breath.

Although taking a deep breath caused almost unbearable pain to her already riddled body, Vita laughed—
