The Anti-Entropy Trio's Guesses / Sushang's Attitude Color Wheel
Upon hearing Gwen's explanation, Raiden Ryoma, who had just been about to ask why, nodded slightly, barely suppressing the urge to press for details.
As he spoke, Raiden Ryoma straightened his clothes, sat up straight, and looked at Gwen with a more serious and solemn expression.
"So, are you prepared for how you should get along with Mei in the future?"
Instantly, Gwen felt a strange pressure emanating from the serious middle-aged man in front of him.
"Certainly."
Gwen's smile faded slightly, and he nodded gently, changing his address for the Raiden Ryoma—
"Father-in-law."
Gwen could sense that when he uttered that name, Raiden Ryoma's body stiffened for a moment, and even his breathing paused for a instant, but he recovered so quickly that it was almost imperceptible.
"Call..."
After staring intently at Gwen for a long while, Raiden Ryoma finally let out a soft breath, the hard lines on his face softening slightly.
"Although I had already guessed it last year outside of St. Freya, it turned out to be true..."
Sigh... Never mind..."
Raiden Ryoma seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he chose to give up, shaking his head. However, his gaze towards Gwen still held a scrutinizing intent, even giving Gwen a sharp feeling.
"From a capability standpoint, I am very satisfied with you and happy to see Mei find such an excellent husband as you."
But--
If you choose Mei, how will you treat Siegfried's daughter?
Don't try to lie; I remember everything that day very clearly.
"They are all girls I like, so naturally they are all my wives."
Gwen's gaze was calm, his voice steady, as if the piercing gaze of the Raiden Ryoma, which could seemingly kill a person, did not exist.
"This is already a modern society."
Seeing that Gwen was unmoved by his gaze, Raiden Ryoma slightly bent his fingers and tapped the table to remind him.
"So what?"
Gwen didn't say anything more, but calmly asked a question in return.
"..."
Faced with Gwen's calm and composed response, Raiden Ryoma stared at Gwen for a moment, and only after realizing that his Gwen could not penetrate Gwyn's deep, unfathomable eyes did he finally withdraw some of the oppressive aura he had been exerting on Gwen, and sighed—
"Really..."
Even though he had anticipated this, and even though he knew that worldly constraints were quite limited for Gwen at that level, Raiden Ryoma still couldn't help but feel a little melancholy looking at Gwen's calm gaze.
My only daughter, in the end, chose such a person... I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
"Please rest assured, Father-in-law, even if civilization on this planet were to perish once again, we will join hands and move towards the future together."
Seeing the helpless look on the Raiden Ryoma, Gwen also made his promise.
"..."
Raiden Ryoma gazed into Gwen's sincere eyes for a long time before finally nodding slightly.
"That child lost her mother at a young age, and I, as her father, have done many things wrong... I don't want her to be unable to receive the love and care she deserves after she gets married."
Although Gwen's actions made Raiden Ryoma want to beat him up, he knew the difference between them and that even after he left this world, his daughter would still have countless years to spend with the person in front of him, so he suppressed his anger.
As Raiden Ryoma reluctantly uttered his final words, another burly figure had already been quietly standing outside the balcony for quite some time...
Chapter 490 Speculation about the Anti-Entropy Trio
"..."
Seeing the helpless expression on Raiden Ryoma's face, Siegfried, who did not burst into tears in the room the two had reserved for him, but quickly composed himself and came to find them, glanced at Gwen's back again, and stepped lightly onto the balcony.
With a slight sound, Siegfried pulled out a chair, sat down to Gwen's left, and unceremoniously picked up the water glass in front of Gwen and gulped it down—
"I'm not a good father, not to either of them, so I have no right to say anything to you..."
Siegfried set down the water glass and stared intently at Gwen—
"I only hope you can protect them and not let the tragedy of Cecilia and me repeat itself—"
A man must protect his wife.
"Even if their souls have already flown to heaven, I will smash down the gates of heaven and snatch them out."
Meeting Siegfried's gaze, Gwen voice, secretly relieved.
Siegfried was... tacitly acknowledging his relationship with the two of them?
"Heaven... ah... yes..."
Siegfried paused for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled twice.
"Even if their souls ascend to that heaven that may or may not exist, you can still bring them back..."
Promise me you won't hurt them...
After successfully calming his two fathers-in-law, Gwen didn't rush to leave North America. Instead, he met with Einstein and Tesla again, and spoke with them, along with Welt Young, who was far away in the Far East Branch.
Now, the most troublesome World Serpent and Schicksal have both fallen into Gwen's schemes. Gwen doesn't want Anti-Entropy to suddenly cause some trouble and lead to a minor internal conflict for humanity.
Even the most hot-tempered Dr. Tesla did not object to Gwen's request.
Before making the request, Gwen had already stated that Schicksal and World Serpent, who was hidden in the shadows and had Kevin, who had once Finality Herrscher, had reached a certain degree of consensus and were cooperating to fight against the Honkai.
Because of Gwen's existence, both sides will cease meaningless consumption and sacrifice before Gwen's defeat.
In response, Welt Yang, the Alliance Leader, and the two elder doctors all stated that if Gwen's words were true, then Anti-Entropy was willing to cooperate.
Despite their deep-seated hatred for Otto, who holds the reins of Schicksal, they always remember that when Anti-Entropy was first established, Nancy, as its founder, aimed to abandon all other goals and focus solely on fighting the Honkai.
Since the external environment seems to have become supportive of this, they are naturally happy to accept it.
"This is truly... an unexpected development..."
After Gwen left, Dr. Einstein took a sip of his now-cold coffee and remarked.
"After all, no one could have imagined that such a being, who understands the whole situation and has the power to turn things around, would suddenly appear in this world."
Welt Young, far away at the St. Freya Academy, remarked with a touch of emotion.
"It just benefited that bastard Otto..."
Dr. Tesla, with his fiery red hair and twin ponytails, revealed a displeased expression as they swayed.
Although, given the situation of Anti-Entropy, even if they develop for another few decades or centuries, they may not be able to make Otto forgive them, letting him enter the new era of the future still makes the super-grade lobster doctor, whose temper and hair color are the same, very unhappy.
"Perhaps, but maybe not..."
Einstein put down his now-cold coffee, his expression returning to its usual calm.
"Ha?"
Upon hearing Einstein's words, Tesla looked surprised and turned to his friend.
"Chicken-hair, did you find something else that I didn't notice?"
Or was there something in Gwen's words that I didn't catch?
"That's not the case; it's just a guess."
Einstein shook his head and looked at Welt on the other end of the communication line.
"Yang, did you guess it?"
"It wasn't there before, but now it seems to have a little bit."
Welt Young nodded, wiped his glasses, and put them back on.
"Tell me what it is!"
Dr. Tesla, who hated riddles the most, tapped the table with his mechanical arm.
"Because of Otto."
Seeing Tesla's growing impatience, Welt Young gave a somewhat helpless smile and said in a deep voice,
"According to Gwen, Otto's goal is not something like world domination that we once guessed, but something else entirely."
If Gwen can achieve Otto's goal, then given his style, he will likely handle the aftermath well, avoiding any difficulties for Gwen.
"What should we do? Is it possible that after getting what he wants, he'll go and commit suicide?"
Tesla said it casually, but then his expression froze—
Her intuition told her that her complaints might coincide with the truth.
"No one can be sure about that until then."
Einstein shook his head, picked up the documents on the table,
"Perhaps Mr. Otto has brought back to life those whose lives he took?"
"What nonsense are you spouting, you 'chicken-head' guy?"
Tesla immediately recovered from that inexplicable feeling.
"Therefore, since we lack information, all we're doing here is guessing and talking. We might as well focus on our work."
Einstein replied without looking up.
"Alright, Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein need to get back to work. Let's stop talking about irrelevant topics."
"Ugh—you rascal with the messy hair!"
Soon, the studio of the two Anti-Entropy veterans returned to its usual playful and joking atmosphere...
Meanwhile, Gwen had returned to Destiny Headquarters and briefly explained the results of his trip to Amber.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gwen."
While Amber didn't consider Anti-Entropy a major problem, she understood that persuading Anti-Entropy, like Gwen had done, to temporarily set aside its hostility and cooperate to some extent was far more difficult than resorting to force.
The last collaboration was initiated by Anti-Entropy under threat from the Second Herrscher, Sirin.
In the end, the meeting ended badly. Amber, who knew many of the inside stories, was even more aware that Anti-Entropy had been tricked by Schicksal and by his own Lord Bishop.
"It's a small matter, not a big problem."
Gwen casually replied, glancing at the time—
"It's lunchtime, Sister Amber, would you like to have lunch together?"
"Hmm? Okay."
Having gradually gotten used to this kind of thing over the years, Amber naturally agreed, a smile naturally curving her lips.
Having resolved the hidden dangers on the Anti-Entropy side and ensured that the world situation wouldn't deteriorate before a new Herrscher caused major chaos, Gwen entered into a regular yet tense and exciting life—
Fighting the Gold Saint almost every day, how could it not be exciting?
Chapter 491 Su Shang's Attitude Palette
"Gwen, you seem really tired lately..."
"Has the training intensity been too high lately?"
At Gwen's house, Li Sushang looked at Gwen, who was lying lazily on the sofa, doing nothing, as if he was just sitting there sunbathing, and asked him with some curiosity.
Li Sushang knew that Gwen had been frequently traveling to a special location for training, but the girl, unaware of the specifics of his training, could only guess from Gwen's reactions.
From Li Sushang's perspective, Gwen now exudes a strong sense of exhaustion, as if he had been fighting a formidable enemy for a long time, even if they were evenly matched or difficult to defeat.
"The intensity is indeed quite high..."
Gwen did not deny what Li Sushang said, and even pondered how to make it easier for Li Sushang to understand his experience.
"To draw an analogy, it's like having you, five hundred years ago, spar with your master every day, and you didn't just have one master, but more than a dozen, each with their own unique style."
"...
That must have been really tough...
Upon hearing Gwen's explanation, Li Sushang briefly imagined the scene and couldn't help but shudder. She tossed the hellish drawing to the back of her mind, but when she looked at Gwen, her gaze held even more pity.
Noticing the strange look in Li Sushang's eyes, Gwen lazily sat up—
