A Summary of Gains and Some Guesses / Energy Crystals and Catching Two Fish with One Bait

"Then... please look at me carefully..."

The next day at noon, Gwen, who was late, finally appeared before Otto.

"Getting up so late is unlike you..."

Otto leisurely sipped his fragrant tea, looking at Gwen with a smile.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened last night, Otto could already guess a thing or two from the expressions of the girls in the room before he left—

Last night, or not long before, something probably happened to Gwen that pleased him.

"Don't rub salt in the wound, Your Lord Bishop..."

Gwyn sat down leisurely, sipping the tea that the Archbishop of Schicksal had personally brewed for him, his Gwen indifferent, completely unmoved by Otto's teasing.

"Okay, I won't pry into your little secrets..."

Upon hearing this, Otto readily admitted his mistake and got down to business—

"How are you doing now?"

Although I didn't personally participate in that battle, I had a general idea of the enemy's strength...

Are you alright?

"I am in a better state than ever before."

Understanding what Otto wanted to know, Gwen gave him the answer he wanted directly.

Gwen paused before correcting himself—

"However, strictly speaking, Bishop Otto, you were actually involved, but... perhaps in some way that you yourself are not even aware of."

"I'm glad I could help you, but this old man won't take credit for it..."

Since you're in good shape, I look forward to hearing good news from you!

Having received the answer he wanted, Otto immediately broke into a delighted smile—

"Over the next period of time, I will begin the process of handing over power to Amber."

Your relationship with her is good, so a smooth transition shouldn't be a problem.

"You really are decisive..."

Upon hearing this, Gwen couldn't help but sigh.

This is, after all, power over most of the world; only he could relinquish it so completely.

"You know, this is what I've always wanted. Now that you've helped me achieve it, I naturally have to offer you the appropriate reward."

Otto smiled and picked up his teacup—

"I will arrange these things later."

Judging from your appearance, you probably have other things to do, so there's no need to waste your time here..."

"...

Um..."

Looking at Otto's warm smile, Gwen felt a premonition rising within him—

This person in front of me... I'm afraid every time I see him is the last time I'll ever see him...

With a sense of realization, Gwen finished his tea and left the room, which felt so full of life...

Upon returning home and finding no signs of human activity, Gwen went back to the bedroom and saw a beautiful woman wearing only a thin cloak that could barely conceal her exquisite curves, her fair thighs dazzling in the sunlight.

Seemingly sensing Gwen's return, the Herrscher of Thunder, who was still recovering her strength, opened her eyes.

Compared to before, those eyes, which seemed to gleam with the light of ripening rice, now held a hint of aggression—

"You're back so soon?"

As she spoke, Mei licked her slightly dry lips with her pink tongue, exuding a captivating charm.

Last night, she went to great lengths to win over the handsome man, and she wasn't about to let Gwen so easily...

Chapter 525 Summary of Gains and Speculations

After suppressing Mei's attempt to activate the scenario card "Sinner's Elegy Mei," Gwen's life returned to peace.

Every day, I go on dates with all sorts of beautiful girls, enjoying a bittersweet romance amidst occasional arguments and dramatic moments.

Of course, while enjoying life, Gwen didn't forget his business—

After overcoming his Inner Demon and arriving at the Fourth Middle School, Gwen not only reached the mid-fourth tier of his Gene Lock, but almost all of his powers underwent a qualitative leap.

The Five Elements Energy initially obtained from the two Light Shadow Stone has completed the final leap of the carp over the dragon gate;

The development of Absolute Energy is also very promising; he can now transform into Light Lifeform at any time and cosplay as Giant of Light.

Needless to say, his power regarding Honkai is unparalleled; after resolving his Inner Demon, all three of his powers fell into Gwen's hands.

Kiana, you didn't expect this, did you? After the pufferfish, the new generation of triple-core Herrscher is me Gwen!

Thanks to their keen sense of detail, the three powers did not cause any trouble and quickly became part of Gwen's power.

As for Gwen's Cosmo, it reached the level of the Seventh Sense and touched the essence of the Cosmo when the Arrow of Victory and Miracles converged.

In addition, it is about overcoming Inner Demon and achieving the most direct benefit of Gene Lock 4— the Light of the Mind.

In its nascent stage, Gwen's Light of the Mind First Flame that created all change in nothingness, yet would ultimately return everything to nothingness and chaos.

And now, Gwen's Light of the Mind is still that fire—

The "First Flame" possesses both the power of creation and destruction: it can ignite the singularity, creating the universe and the starry sky, and it can also burn everything away, returning it to chaos.

This is also why Gwen was able to help Elysia and Eden, whose souls had been completely restored, to rebuild their bodies.

Furthermore, due to the special circumstances surrounding the final defeat of his Inner Demon, and the "miracle" and "victory" that occurred to Gwen's Light of the Mind seemed to have also incorporated Caslana's Stigmata Space, or more precisely, that section of starry sky within it, into his own being—

As the embodiment of Gwen's mind, those who contributed their heart and strength to that arrow also have their corresponding stars within it.

By combining his Solar Divinity with his own, Gwen developed some skills similar to divine intervention, allowing those who left their own star in this starry sky to draw upon his power when necessary.

However, Gwen's Divine Descent technique seems to have been developed for some unusual uses, such as beauty treatments...

Of course, these are all minor matters, since I'll still be showing them to him after the beauty treatment.

In addition, there was another matter: when the Light of the Mind was fully awakened, Gwen, with the help of the miracles and victories he had achieved, broke through the seal of the Ophiuchus with the Light of the Mind, allowing it to return to the level of the Gold Saint Cloth.

However, due to the nature of Gwen's power, the Ophiuchus Gold Saint Cloth is now completely unrecognizable as it was originally.

In fact, Gwen would rather call it—the Ophiuchus Cloth—than the Ophiuchus.

Ultimate Emperor Armor.

Moreover, compared to the armor Gwen had seen on screen before his time travel, Gwen's Ultimate Emperor Armor is more harmonious, and the full-coverage armor also gives it a more substantial feel.

Therefore, Gwen's strongest form now is no longer the Super Beast form after becoming one with Apollo, but the "Lord of Cinder" form, where he wears the Ultimate Emperor Armor, ignites the First Flame to burn his Cosmo, stands under the stars, and holds the Corona Sword.

And this version of Gwen has already acquired the ability to realize his original ambitions—

They devoured the Cocoon of the Cocoon of the End in one gulp!

However, although the Inner Demon directly caused Gwen to skip the Star Laws, Thousand People, and Bindings, there was still a Corruption before the Finality.

Therefore, Gwen did not rush to activate the Finality Script, but instead used the connection between the Herrscher and Cocoon to monitor the emergence of corruption while continuing to improve himself.

Other powers may lack a clear path to becoming stronger, but the Cosmo that has reached the Seventh Sense still has a lot of room for improvement.

The only ones suffering are probably the Gold Saints of the Sanctuary.

Previously, the Gold Saint could suppress Gwen by relying on the difference in their Cosmo, but now, facing Gwen who has reached the Seventh Sense and undergone a comprehensive upgrade, they no longer have any advantage.

In fact, the vast majority of the time, the competition ended in defeat.

During this time, Gwen also fulfilled his promise to Sisyphus, avenging the punch he had received years ago.

However, although his strength continued to grow with daily sparring and learning, the upgrade system that had supported Gwen all the way was still stuck at L9, unable to make any progress, as if this was already the limit.

"Is this its limit?"

After returning from visiting Griseo with Elysia, Eden, and the others, Gwen, surrounded by characters with unusual traits, felt little joy.

Although relying on a wheelchair is a bad thing, Gwen still felt that this shouldn't be the limit of this upgrade system.

"Or rather... is this its current limit?"

Looking at the repairable indicators on the attribute panel, Gwen had a vague guess—

"To continue improving, you need to spend a huge amount of points to repair the damaged parts?"

After all, I've overcome my Inner Demon and awakened the Light of the Mind. If my level was stuck due to some limitation of my own, it should be open now.

It's still stuck, so this can only be the reason..."

Looking at his points, which had soared to 30 million, Gwen couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Points are good, but strength is the foundation of everything.

Although Gwen is already very strong, there are still many powerful beings in both the Star Rail Universe and the Saint Seiya Universe who have the ability to turn everything he currently possesses into ashes.

Moreover, the shop hasn't been updated with the items Gwen needs for quite some time now.

Therefore, Gwen wanted to try whether he could continue to become stronger by repairing the system.

Even a simple improvement in attributes would be good, right?

However, glancing at the time, Gwen suppressed his impulse for the time being.

In a few hours, the system store will be refreshed again.

"Wait a little longer. If we still don't find anything useful this time, then we'll spend some of our points—"

Although it's unclear what we'll gain from the repairs, it's better than having our points sitting idle...

As Gwen waited, time slowly passed until the new month arrived, and the shop refreshed on time, displaying an eye-catching gold color.

Chapter 526 Energy Crystals and Using One Bait to Catch Two Fish

"Golden light right from the start?"

Overjoyed, Gwen immediately activated the golden light.

Instantly, a dark green crystal came into Gwen's view—

"Energy Crystal (Red Mars) – A planetary life stone connecting the cosmic magnetic field with the energy of creation and reproduction, symbolizing the life of a planet, and also symbolizing the dominion over that planet."

Price: 1,000,000 points.

"Energy crystal?"

Looking at this familiar description, Gwen frowned and pondered for a moment, then paused—

"Hiss... Could it be that thing Lufar collected?"

Planet Core Crystal originated from a Chinese tokusatsu drama series set before Gwen travel. According to the Cosmic Law, whoever collects the energy crystals of more than half of the planets in a galaxy gains control of that Ying Xing.

Therefore, having been betrayed by his old friend and fallen from being the second-in-command of the galaxy to a wanted criminal hated by everyone, Lufar, in order to wash away his shame, led his Royal Guard to roam the universe, destroying planets one by one and seizing their Planet Core Crystal, wanting to return to his homeland as the King of the Galaxy.

"Judging from this description... this thing seems to have the function of maintaining the vitality of the corresponding planet and realizing the energy cycle between the planet and the universe?"

Red Mars... I think Ares named Mars?

"If we take this to Mars, could we fish up Xena, who is almost certainly at the half- Finality but whose exact situation is still unclear?"

Gwen weighed the seemingly ordinary energy crystal in his hand, which looked almost like a cheap handicraft from a roadside stall, and thought of the situation on Mars.

Although the plot of the second part was still unclear before he traveled through time, and the specific situation on Mars was still completely unknown, Gwen at least knew that there was an aunt named Xena who seemed to be one step away from succeeding... Xenadia.

If we can fish the other side up and revive it, then the Solar System will gain even more power.

"And..."

Carefully sensing the energy crystal in his hand, Gwen felt as if he had found the answer to Griseo and Vita's problem—

"If we can figure out the principles and mechanisms behind it, it might not be entirely impossible to bring Venus back from its dead state."

Then... hey..."

While pondering this, Gwen did not immediately delve into the study of the energy crystal in his hand—

This golden light is simply a golden item that appeared directly on the first page of the shop during this recent refresh.

Today, Gwen finally managed to get a useful, high-value item. He wanted to see if this was the culmination of his recent period of mediocre luck.
