At Last, They Met Again. / Combing Hair.
"Shall I go to sleep now?"
Vita remained unfazed by Gwen's threat and asked pointedly.
"Let's talk about it once you've recovered your strength."
Seeing the teasing look in Vita's eyes, Gwen tapped her head again—
"Given your current condition, you'll probably be completely exhausted in no time."
"That's not necessarily true..."
"Shall we give it a try?"
Vita, however, showed an expectant expression.
"..."
Gwen glanced at the guy, ignoring him whether he was letting his true nature show or still acting. He subtly glanced at Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele behind him, only to find that the girls looked blank.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. They don't seem to have had the opportunity to be exposed to this kind of slang, so it's normal that they don't understand it.
Putting aside his slight embarrassment, Gwen looked at Vita again—
Do you know what I did while I was away?
"What?"
Vita blinked and readily agreed, asking the question.
"Does the Herrscher know?"
"Of course, although it's not called that in Frosa, I've heard of it in other World Bubble."
"I took care of three things while I was out."
"..."
Vita blinked, somewhat bewildered, as Gwen held out his three fingers.
Although Gwen scared So away before, a large part of the reason was that So wanted to hide his presence in front of the Cocoon of the End, fearing that he would be exposed to it.
As for Gwen's strength, Vita might think he was very strong, but how could he have defeated three Herrscher in such a short time?

Chapter 419 A Final Reunion.
"And soon you will be able to see them."
Seeing the astonished look on Vita's pretty face, Gwen smiled slightly and dropped another bombshell.
"..."
Vita blinked, somewhat unable to understand Gwen's words.
In her mind, the Herrscher... those apostles of the abyss, were not beings that could be captured.
"Oh, by the way, what are your thoughts on your former employer, Vita?"
Seeing the surprised expression on Vita's pretty face, which always carried a hint of mischief in his memory, Gwen smiled slightly, finding the person before him even more vivid, and posed another topic that Vita was very interested in—
"I have several friends here who want to settle scores with her."
"?"
Upon hearing this, Vita immediately snapped out of her reverie and stared at Gwen in astonishment—
"Has the existence of this phenomenon become so well-known on this planet?"
Doesn't that mean all her years of hiding have been for nothing?
As she spoke, a hint of schadenfreude unconsciously appeared on Vita's pretty face.
Vita naturally harbored no goodwill towards her former employer, who had given her life and intellect, yet disregarded them, using her as a tool and repeatedly destroying the things that held her emotions and hard work.
Now, the fact that Sa, who has been hiding for tens of thousands of years, is actually in the abyss... on the planet that the Cocoon of the End is currently invading is known to everyone. This makes Vita feel an urge to laugh out loud.
However, faced with Vita's gloating smile, Gwen gave a negative answer—
"That's not the case. Apart from me, no one else on this planet should know of her existence yet."
"That..."
Upon hearing this, Vita blinked and cooperated by showing a curious expression.
"Do you remember that spaceship you captured?"
"The child you captured by trickery, and who used the power she left behind to create your seven younger siblings?"
Gwen and composed, recounted a story from the past.
"You mean..."
Upon hearing this, Vita immediately understood.
"I rescued some of Griseo's brothers, sisters, and uncles."
They harbored deep resentment towards the kidnappers who had abducted their children.
Gwen seemed to be pointing something out.
"Well... I think these parents really need someone to guide them to find their child, right?"
Vita immediately agreed.
"Actually, it's not necessary."
Gwen, however, did not cooperate with Vita and decisively shook his head—
"I had already contacted the child and located him. I also have the ability to travel through interstellar space and am capable of breaking in alone and taking the head of the child."
"That..."
Upon hearing this, Vita raised an eyebrow and looked at Gwen with a puzzled expression—
Now that you've found your target and have the ability to destroy it, why are you wasting your breath talking to me here?
"..."
Gwen smiled and gently tapped Vita's forehead.
"Now that there are no tasks pressing you down, take this rare moment of leisure to think about your future, Miss Vita— "
Think about how to give that heartless creator a taste of the power of creation; think about how to get revenge on me; think about how to protect your lovely younger brothers and sisters; think about... the future—
I don't want the person I finally managed to save to become a useless, aimless person because of the emptiness they feel after seeking revenge.
As he spoke, Gwen ran his hands over Vita's neatly combed hair, turning it into a bird's nest.
"Ugh... What are you doing?!"
Vita, who was deep in thought because of Gwen's words, subconsciously raised her hands to protect her hair and pouted as she looked at Gwen with dissatisfaction.
"It's nothing, just teasing you."
Gwen smiled and stood up, leaving Vita with a dashing back view.
"This guy..."
Staring at Gwen's hateful figure, Vita pouted and combed her hair, but her mood was surprisingly not bad.
Upon arriving at the ward door, Gwen pulled it open but did not leave immediately. Instead, he smiled and nodded at the girl outside, took a step back, and stood against the wall.
"Thanks..."
Having received Gwen's affirmation, Bronya hesitated outside the door for a moment before silently thanking him and lightly entering the ward, where she saw the petite figure sitting by the bed with her back to her.
At this moment, Bronya, who could calmly face the chill released by the Herrscher, could no longer control her body. Trembling, she ran behind the girl and hugged her tightly.
"!"
Hearing the noise behind her, Seele was about to turn around when someone suddenly grabbed her from behind, causing her to freeze instantly.
"What is Brother Gwen doing?"
Thinking it was Gwen, Seele panicked, her fair face instantly turning bright red.
Before Seele could say anything, Black Seele's annoyed voice came from beside her ear—
"What are you daydreaming about? The person you've been wanting to see most is here."
"The person I most want to see?"
Upon hearing this, Seele paused for a moment, then her eyes widened, and she said in a trembling voice—
"Sister Bronya?"
"Um..."
Hearing that familiar voice, so deeply ingrained in her bones, Bronya hugged it even tighter—
"I'm sorry, Seele, Bronya failed to keep her promise..."
"Don't say that, Sister Bronya!"
Upon hearing Bronya's words, Seele, whose body had seemed drained of strength just moments before, suddenly felt a surge of power, breaking free from Bronya's embrace and giving Bronya a hug in return.
"Seele is already very happy to be able to see Sister Bronya..."
"Um..."
Feeling the warmth of Seele's embrace, Bronya finally couldn't hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes and left two glistening tear tracks on her little face.
"Don't cry, Sister Bronya..."
Seeing the glistening tear tracks on Bronya's face and feeling the hot tears dripping onto her own skin, Seele couldn't help but smile happily. However, she couldn't stop the glistening tears from falling, and she was still comforting Bronya. For a moment, it was hard to tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister.
Seeing Seele and Bronya embrace each other with tears in their eyes, Gwen couldn't help but smile with relief.
After a while, when the two girls had calmed down a bit and wanted to thank Gwen again, they found that Gwen had disappeared from the ward at some point.
Meanwhile, Gwen had already returned home and washed up.
Even though Gwen can now stay completely dry, it's still more comfortable to take a shower.
After washing up, Gwen was about to check on Anna and Himeko when he looked up and saw Li Sushang's figure in the second-floor window next door.

Chapter 420 Combing Hair.
Upon seeing Li Sushang, Gwen wasn't in a hurry to leave. He waved in greeting and leaped through the window into the room.
"Su Shang, the physical examination didn't find anything wrong, right?"
Although Gwyn believed that Li Sushang was strong enough to avoid any major incidents, he still had to be concerned because she had already faced attacks from two Herrscher and even survived the sea of fire from Gwen Herrscher of Flames.
"Don't worry, although I can't do anything to that cold wind and sea of fire, they can't harm me after just a brief contact."
Faced with Gwen, who had jumped directly into her boudoir, Li Sushang couldn't help but feel a little awkward, but she still pretended to be nonchalant and said...
"It's just a pity that so much of your hair, which you've been growing for so long, has been singed off all at once."
Seeing that Li Sushang's breathing was steady and her emotions were stable, Gwen was relieved and his gaze fell on Li Sushang's loose, black hair.
Having just finished bathing, Li Sushang was wearing loose-fitting casual clothes. The fresh scent of herbs and trees added to the natural beauty of this young woman who had only recently arrived in modern society.
However, her originally flowing hair, which could have reached the ground, now barely covered her firm and full breasts, which even her loose clothes couldn't hide, making people feel quite sorry for her.
"In that situation, there was no time to worry about anything else."
Upon hearing this, Li Sushang gently gathered her hair with her jade-like hand, a carefree smile appearing on her pretty face, but a hint of regret still lingered on her expression.
This long hair is not only a reflection of her physical appearance and the values instilled in her by her parents, but also a way for the young girl to reminisce about her past, which dates back five hundred years.
With nearly half gone, Li Sushang couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
"However, they will come back one day."
Taking a strand of hair from Li Sushang's hand, feeling its smooth texture, Gwen smiled slightly.
"After all, we have a long life ahead of us, don't we?"
"Um..."
