A Cave Heaven Takes Shape; One Long, Dreamlike Sleep / A Passing Master from Chaldea

A series of lightning bolts, each comparable in power to Artemis's main cannon, struck down relentlessly.

Even though Storm Bord kept spreading the newly developed Spirit Base Interference Foil to avoid being hit by what was essentially just Zeus's demonstrative AOE, the ship still inevitably plummeted.

While the Chaldea inside the ship were scrambling to make a move, Gwen outside was enjoying the exhilarating speed of the first tier while studying the Spirit Base Interference Foil and Zeus's lightning in his hands—

"Interesting idea, copied it..."

Chapter 584 The Illusion of the Cave Heaven, A Long Dream

Gwen is no stranger to wide-area AOE attacks and disruptive foil.

Gwen himself knew quite a few types of the former, while he had seen chaff in a military science popularization column before his transmigration. In Gwen's memory, it was used to interfere with radar and radio.

Now, the Spirit Base Interference Foil created by Little Da Vinci can even withstand Zeus's AOE attack. Even though this was just a demonstration attack casually released by Zeus, its effect is quite remarkable considering the gap between the two sides.

However, although the Storm Bord they were riding in did not turn to ashes immediately thanks to the Spirit Base Interference Foil that Little Da Vinci developed in time, they were still falling rapidly.

As Little Da Vinci's Spirit Base Interference Foil diminished, Storm Bord ultimately couldn't escape being hit...

"It really has been a series of disasters..."

Gwen, who was being rammed by the bow of the ship, abandoned the Spirit Base Interference Foil and the lightning bolt in his hands. Instead of watching the show, he flashed above Storm Bord and deployed an invisible force to protect Storm Bord from being bombarded by Zeus's lightning.

However, Zeus's perception was sharper than Gwen had anticipated—

"Who goes there!"

Almost immediately, Zeus's deep and majestic voice resounded through the sky once again.

At the same time, the sea of lightning that enveloped Storm Bord suddenly began to churn, making the already dark sky even darker, and the occasional flashes of lightning were even more eerie.

"Oh...

"Zeus, your senses are unexpectedly sharp..."

Sensing Zeus's terrifying aura directed at him, Gwen muttered to himself, but did not intend to immediately confront Zeus.

Since the purpose of the Counter Force in sending him here was to pit him against Zeus and other Lostbelt kings, he had a reason to take a roundabout approach and prevent the damn Counter Force from achieving its goal smoothly.

Gwen narrowed his eyes and found the key node in the sea of lightning above.

"A magical realm transforms, a long dream ends in waking—"

The spear, swirling with a fierce wind, flew from his hand as he spoke, instantly tearing through streaks of lightning and piercing into the sea of thunder, precisely striking its weakest point.

Gwen didn't need to take Zeus's attack too seriously; a casual skill would suffice.

However, after easily dealing with the sea of lightning above his head, Gwen did not linger. Instead, he grabbed Storm Bord behind him and disappeared without a trace.

"Who exactly is this person?!"

The god's furious roar echoed across the sky, silently witnessing this scene.

Unfortunately, there was no one who could answer him at that moment.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in Storm Bord, which had finally escaped the crisis, the piercing alarm slowly faded away.

However, the group, who had just escaped death, had barely exchanged a few words when another piercing alarm sounded.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing that voice, Gordolf Mujik, the new director of Munir had been appointed to the post in a time of crisis, shuddered involuntarily. He immediately abandoned his usual reserved demeanor, his face turning pale, and asked urgently—

"Could this be a follow-up attack from Zeus?"

"No, it's..."

Upon hearing this, Little Da Vinci, who was staring in astonishment at the results displayed on the monitor, was about to explain when he was interrupted by a sudden, unfamiliar male voice—

"You can rest assured about that; Zeus has been fooled by us for the time being."

Gwen flashed into Storm Bord, looking at the ship that had become increasingly futuristic after being polished by the legacy of the Gods, and said with a smile.

"Who are you, and why have you suddenly barged into Storm Bord?"

While loudly questioning Gwen to attract his attention, Gordolf gestured to his men to prepare to attack.

Having received the hint, Mash, Holmes, and the others slowly approached Gwen.

However, none of them gave anyone a chance to make a move.

Little Da Vinci quickly spoke up to stop them—

"Wait a minute—"

This gentleman...

After a moment of eye contact with Gwen, Little Da Vinci finally stated the conclusion he had drawn from his observations—

"They provided us with tremendous help during the previous emergency landing."

Upon hearing this, everyone's tense mood eased slightly.

Despite having just fought their way in from the Sea of Despair, Atlantis, the presence of a powerful figure capable of contending with even one or two of Zeus's might offered some reassurance to the anxious Chaldea members.

"Even without me, everyone in Chaldea can do it, though perhaps at a price..."

Gwen smiled and waved his hand, then smiled as he looked around.

A familiar-looking employee in Chaldea, a little eggplant in black armor holding a shield, a middle-aged man with a serious expression like Holmes, and an orange-haired girl whose spirit and expression were slightly haggard, but whose mental state was surprisingly stable...

"Very good, it seems he's neither Gudao nor Two-Headed Chaotic Evil, but just an ordinary human's last Master..."

Unaware of Gwen's thoughts, the others were not surprised to see his gaze fall on Gudako Gwen.

Most of the Heroic Spirits encountered along the way were very interested in this last human master, and Gudako used her charm to win over these famous Heroic Spirits in human history.

It seems like it's time for Ritsuka in again.

However, these minor laws do not include Little Da Vinci—

"In any case, it was Your Excellency who helped us, and that cannot be changed."

Little Da Vinci jumped down from her spot, took two steps to stand in front of Gudako, and smiled at Gwen—

"However, according to the signals, you do not appear to be a Heroic Spirit summoned by Pan-Human History?"

"!"

The words of Little Da Vinci startled everyone—

Knowing that the other party had just helped them land safely, they were almost certain that the other party was a friendly force.

Now that Little Da Vinci is saying that the other party is not a Heroic Spirit, then in this Atlantic Lostbelt, the other party is probably a powerful figure from the Lostbelt, which makes them uneasy.

"Hehe... no need to be nervous..."

Seeing Mash raise her shield again, Gwen smiled and waved his hand—

"Although I am not a Heroic Spirit, I was indeed summoned by the Counter Force— "

I was doing just fine in my own world, preparing to do something big that could impact the world, when I was thrown into the previous Imaginary Number Space, and you guys bumped into me here.

"?"

Gwen's words were not difficult to understand, but they made everyone who heard them feel incredulous in every sense of the word.

"Don't worry, I'm not a petty person. It's not your fault that things happened so suddenly."

Gwen didn't wait for everyone in the cabin to understand before continuing—

"So, there's no need to worry that I'll take my anger out on you because of this."

But since I've already done you a favor, could you please do me a request Chaldea members?

"What kind of help?"

Noticing Gwen's gaze sweeping over her and Mash, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously, but she was already on high alert, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

Chapter 585 A Chaldea Master Who Passes By

"This will remain a secret for now, but it's probably something that will make you happy."

"Right now, I only have an idea in my mind, and I lack the steps to implement it," Gwen said, using only ambiguous language.

"..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka is quite resistant to riddle-like people who only say half of what they mean.

Based on her experience, people who say such nonsense usually cause a lot of trouble, and may even be the mastermind behind the incident.

Only...

Looking at Gwen, who seemed completely relaxed and unfazed by the tension of venturing deep into enemy territory, and then at her own small group of allies, and considering Gwen's ability to easily traverse Zeus's AOE lightning sea with Storm Bord, Fujimaru Ritsuka suppressed the urge to refuse.

"Without violating the principles of Chaldea, I am willing to assist you in doing some things in order to repay your life-saving grace."

Taking two steps forward, the girl with short orange hair styled in a side ponytail and a serious expression on her pretty face solemnly addressed Gwen.

"We regret that you were forced to come here from your original world, and we are willing to help you find a way back."

However, as you can see, the world is currently in a mess, and Chaldea is struggling to survive, so it's unlikely to be able to provide you with the necessary protection.

Because Gwen had revealed Chaldea's identity in a single sentence and seemed to know something about her, but Fujimaru Ritsuka knew nothing about Gwen, she could only try to explore Gwen's identity little by little.

"Oh..."

Seeing the girl who wasn't in the best of spirits but was still trying to maintain a calm demeanor while communicating with him, Gwen chuckled softly.

"I consider myself a reasonable person, and I won't hold a grudge against you for this..."

After all, Chaldea is an old, unlucky bunch; they'll be used up and then thrown away soon too.

"As for the Atlantic Lostbelt where we are now..."

If you don't mind, could you take me along on your next exploration?

Seeing the girl breathe a slight sigh of relief, Gwen asked with a smile.

Having just survived a Sea of Annihilation, then being ambushed and beaten by Zeus, and now encountering someone like himself—whose allegiance is unclear but whose strength is absolutely terrifying—anyone would be nervous. The fact that Fujimaru Ritsuka showed even the slightest sign of relaxation was already quite remarkable.

Didn't you see that the chubby director Gordolf, needed to hold onto the equipment to stay upright?

"OK!"

Upon hearing Gwen's application to join the party, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes immediately lit up—

Fujimaru Ritsuka, being neither a chaotic evil nor anything of the sort, simply needed it for combat power.

In the outer Atlantis, the fighting force they had gathered had been completely depleted. Relying solely on the forces of Chaldea's main body, they could not possibly be a match for Mecha God Zeus. Moreover, this Zeus in the Lostbelt was not only Zeus, but also included other Greek gods.

Until they find the Heroic Spirits who previously infiltrated the depths of this Lostbelt, they will remain in this state of insufficient combat power.

Gwen can undoubtedly make up for their lack of combat power at this time.

As she spoke, a bright smile quickly appeared on the girl's serious face as she walked lightly to Gwen and extended her hand.

"Please take good care of me from now on..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka naturally exuded her approachable charm, but paused mid-sentence—

Whether it was the lingering mental pressure from the Sea of Annihilation or the stress from her previous emotional ups and downs, Fujimaru Ritsuka only realized now that she hadn't asked Gwen's name and identity, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Gwen, just call me Gwen— "

An innocent human being passing by.

Seeing the girl's embarrassed expression, Gwen chuckled softly and shook hands with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

They didn't have the air of someone who had never done any housework; instead, they looked like seasoned warriors with rough calluses.

"Hello, Gwen- kun, my name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, a Chaldea Master who is just passing by."

Fujimaru Ritsuka winked at Gwen and said with a grin.

"It seems you have quite a wide range of interests..."

Gwen chuckled, recognizing the joke in Fujimaru Ritsuka's words.

"After all, I was just an ordinary person before, and I was only brought here because of blood donation."

Upon connecting with Gwyn, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to feel a bit closer to Gwen, and said with a smile.

"I can tell you're very tired."

Looking at the girl with a warm smile that seemed to warm people's hearts, but whose soul was already exhausted, Gwen said in a low voice.

"Huh?"
