Kevin: Honkai? Never Heard of It / Anna's Herrscher Transformation?
Seeing Velvie's current adorable and somewhat dorky demeanor, so different from the flamboyant and unrestrained great magician he remembered, Gwen couldn't help but chuckle, but still said seriously—
"The important thing is..."
Welcome back, Velvie.
"Welcome, welcome!"
Elysia was the first to respond to Gwen's words, clapping enthusiastically.
Under Elysia's lead, Eden, and even Seele and the Valkyrie Quicksilver behind Gwen, smiled and clapped softly.
"Kevin, Velvie has finally woken up, come and welcome her!"
Seeing Kevin still standing there blankly, Elysia greeted him with a smile.
"Um..."
Upon hearing this, Kevin seemed to just realize what was happening and clapped lightly, a look of reminiscence on his face...
398
Chapter 398 Kevin: Honkai? Not really familiar with it.
"Ha... Alright, Elysia, Velvie has just woken up, her soul still needs rest, and she also needs some time to sort out her Remembrance."
After Elysia finished her commotion, Gwen chuckled and spoke up.
"Uh-huh..."
Although Elysia really wanted to have a good talk with Velvie, she also knew what her condition was like when she first woke up.
However, Velvie herself had some reservations about this.
So, what exactly is the situation now?
With her Remembrance in disarray and fragmented, Velvie refused to rest immediately and instead wanted to figure out what was happening first.
"..."
Seeing the genuine expression on Velvie's face, Kevin frowned slightly and looked at Gwen with a questioning gaze.
"In short..."
Gwen did not immediately respond to Kevin's question, but instead explained to Velvie—
"Fifty thousand years ago, you went to the moon to fight the Finality Herrscher, and you sacrificed yourself in that battle."
And now, it is through the mark you left on this Crystal Flower that Elysia gave you that I have revived your soul.
"Soul revival?"
When she heard Gwen say that she was dead, Velvie's expression was slightly unnatural, but she immediately perked up after hearing Gwen's next sentence.
"Humans have already developed this technology?"
"That's not the case. It's just a bit of my personal talent."
Gwen shook his head slightly at Velvie's curious gaze.
"All right..."
Upon hearing this, the excitement on Velvie's face subsided slightly, and she raised her hand to pat her forehead, but her gaze towards Gwen became even more piercing—
"Then I'll do as you say and take a break first, since my mind is so cluttered that it's hard to even think clearly..."
But before that...
As the person who gave me the opportunity to return to the world stage... could you tell me your name?
"Certainly--
"My name is Gwen, friend of Elysia and Eden. It's a pleasure to see you awaken, Velvie."
Upon hearing Gwen smiled slightly and extended his hand.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to return to this world, Gwen."
Velvie reached out and shook hands with Gwen.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished, transforming back into the Crystal Flower in Gwen's palm.
"Although I can still use the body formed from Honkai Energy, I'd better stay here until I recover."
Within the gray Crystal Flower, the light of Velvie's soul flickered slightly before falling silent.
"Velvie is really full of energy now, isn't she?"
Seeing this, Elysia sighed, but her gaze fell on Eden beside Gwen—
"Speaking of which, Eden, you've only recently recovered. You should go back and rest."
"Then I'll head back now..."
Upon hearing this, Eden did not refute, but nodded slightly, his figure dissipated, and he returned to Gwen's Stigmata Space.
"A resurgence?"
Kevin, who had keenly noticed a certain point in Elysia's words, frowned slightly and looked at Gwen—
"When I helped you fuse with it last time, Eden had already awakened?"
Although he didn't notice it at the time, Kevin now realizes that Gwen seemed to have some traces of Eden in him back then.
"That's right."
Seeing that Kevin had already discovered this, Gwen made no attempt to hide it—
"Eden had only recently awakened at that time, but due to the great shock and exhaustion caused by that incident, he fell back into a deep sleep."
Fortunately, the soul did not suffer fatal damage and recovered after a period of rest, only recently regaining consciousness.
"I originally wanted to give you a big surprise after everyone recovered, but now that it's happening earlier, the surprise isn't as big as it used to be..."
Elysia also sighed softly and chimed in Gwen's defense.
"Any additional requirements for your awakening?"
For example, the Crystal Flower that Elysia gave away back then?
Kevin nodded slightly, then eagerly pressed for more information.
Kevin once thought that his first meeting with Gwen might have involved discussing the future of modern humanity and the challenges of the Honkai.
However, after witnessing Velvie's revival firsthand, Kevin, who had already extracted the key information from Gwen's previous words, put it out of his mind—
Just like back then, he didn't care what the Honkai was or what would happen to humanity, if only she could...
But if that doesn't work, then he must do his best to fulfill the things she left him.
However, it seems that all the people who have been revived around Gwen are related to the Crystal Flower that Elysia gave him back then.
But Mei... did not attend that final banquet.
"Currently, there is no absolute evidence to prove an absolute relationship between the two."
Gwen gave a cautious answer to this—
"Based on my current attempts, anything that carries a strong longing, obsession, or soul imprint could potentially fulfill this requirement."
"..."
Kevin was not disappointed upon hearing Gwen's words.
In the short few years he spent with May, Kevin had become familiar with this situation: the more rigorous the words, the more credible they were.
"Should we use the help I owed you back then?"
Gwen asked with a smile.
"Certainly."
Kevin answered without hesitation.
Faced with the hope of reviving May, all plans are just a sidewalk for Kevin.
"Well... let's discuss the specifics when we get back."
Seeing Kevin's cooperation, Gwen asked with a smile.
Although bringing Kevin back at this point did not align with Gwen's initial expectations, since they had already encountered this situation, and with the possibility of resurrecting May dangling as a threat that would somewhat restrain Kevin, Gwen did not mind rethinking his plans.
"Um..."
Kevin nodded silently, as if he had returned to the indifference he felt when they first met.
However, anyone present could see that a glimmer of hope had already appeared in Kevin's eyes.
Thank you!
Seeing the light return to her old friend's eyes, Elysia's smile was filled with relief. She leaned close to Gwen's ear to thank him, and then her figure transformed into a stream of light and merged into Gwen's body.
"Then let's head back..."
Pretending not to notice the complex expression on the Valkyrie Quicksilver face behind him, Gwen leaped into the air and summoned Apollo in a golden light.
Immediately, with Kevin, who had just joined the team, Gwen and his group embarked on their return journey once again.
Soon after, a passage from the Imaginary Tree was opened, and the golden meteor that had been speeding through the Sea of Quantum left this boundless sea.
In the long-absent Schicksal Experiment Field, Gwen, who had brought back a large group of people, smiled and opened his arms to Changguang, who had rushed forward to greet him.
"Long time no see, Changguang, did you miss me?"
"No, I only want my Gneisenau data."
As Changguang said this, he still accepted Gwen's embrace.
399
Chapter 399 Anna's Transformation?
Although Gwen had disappeared for a period of time before due to a mission, Changguang was able to take it in stride, as he could roughly guess what Gwen had been doing.
However, during this time, Changguang, who knew that Gwen had ventured into the mysterious Sea of Quantum to rescue people, found himself unable to eat or sleep, constantly worrying about whether Gwyn had encountered danger in the Sea of Quantum and wondering why he hadn't returned yet...
Although he hadn't experienced it, Changguang knew that he was probably in love.
Therefore, when faced with Gwen's open arms upon his return, Changguang embraced him without the slightest hesitation.
However, although Changguang responded to Gwen's open embrace with a warm hug, he did not stay for long. He left the spacious and warm embrace under the gaze of a gaze that was somewhat too strong.
"Hey, didn't you say it was just one or two people? Why did you bring your whole family and friends back with you?"
Changguang, feeling a burning sensation on his cheeks, revealed Gwen's familiar teasing smile and looked at Seele behind Gwen, Valkyrie Quicksilver, and the still-sleeping Stargazer and... Vita, who was pretending to be asleep.
"That timid little girl must be Seele, whom you mentioned before. Why does the one next to her look so much like Theresa?"
And the one she was supporting, even though we only saw her profile, she looked a bit like Theresa...
When did you become a professional Theresa collector?
Aren't you afraid that Bishop Otto will cause you trouble?
Looking closely at the girls Gwen had brought back, Changguang teased Gwen.
Before he could finish speaking, Changguang felt the warmth of a large, warm hand on his lower back. He immediately changed the subject, still teasing Gwen—
"Ah... the Seele is supporting may not look like her, but she's still a rare beauty..."
"That's a long story."
Despite Changguang's teasing, Gwen remained calm and unperturbed, laughing it off and pulling Changguang toward the four of them.
"Instead of explaining this, let's help get this person to the hospital first."
In contrast to the relaxed (and perilous) atmosphere at Gwen's place, the atmosphere between Kevin and Sue, who were reunited with an old friend, was slightly unnatural.
These two former best friends, and still the brothers who know each other best, gaze at each other from afar, but neither of them utters a word.
Sue was wondering how to bring it up and how to persuade Kevin not to start the Stigmata Plan too early.
In contrast to Sue, who was brainstorming furiously, Kevin's thoughts were simpler.
As for what happened back then, Kevin didn't even care about it.
