Kallen's Question

I see..."

"What? What?"

Explain yourself clearly. It's really frustrating to hear you just keep talking in half-heartedly.

When Changguang heard Gwen talking about serious matters, he also put away his playful thoughts, complained, and shifted his attention to the important matter.

"When I sent the item back, the accompanying document should have stated that the enhancement was temporary. Once the divine power within it—or more accurately, the nanomachinery—was depleted, it would return to its original state with only a small amount of enhancement remaining."

Given the certain requirements for the basic physical condition of the injector, it is recommended to attempt a degraded generic version in order to develop a new type of battlefield stimulant.

Gwen tapped Changguang's forehead, put down the pendant, and said seriously.

"That's right, but after a simple clinical trial, we found that reducing the injection dose also drastically reduced the biological burden."

At the same time, the injection of Honkai Energy will enhance its effect and prolong its duration.

Then the first batch of human experiments began, and I was one of the participants—"

Changguang nodded, then, noticing Gwen's unfriendly gaze, quickly changed his words—

"Of course, this is only after it has been confirmed that the danger has been reduced to a sufficiently low level."

"...

This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time.

After Changguang eye contact with Nagamitsu, which made the red-haired beauty, well past thirty, look somewhat unfocused, Gwen finally let her go and began to explain—

"As you mentioned before, the research found that Honkai Energy can play a role in these nanomachines."

The Honkai Energy sealed within this modified Demon Spirit Stone will be used to maintain the seal that forms the gem, emitting energy beneficial to your body.

The energy released here now seems to have unexpectedly reached a delicate balance with the small amount of Krylonimia you injected, thus sustaining its long-term existence.

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Changguang couldn't help but show a look of sudden realization—

"No wonder I feel much healthier this year than in previous years. When I went to the beauty salon, they all said my skin had improved..."

"So, don't take that risk again..."

Gwen did not let Changguang fool him and reminded him in a deep voice.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I won't do it again, I won't do it again..."

Changguang raised his hands in surrender, but then reached out to Gwen, his bright, beautiful eyes blinking rapidly.

"You..."

Without even asking, Gwen understood what she meant, smiled, shook his head, and raised his right hand.

A massive amount of Honkai Energy suddenly gathered in Gwen's palm, but not a single drop leaked out. Under immense pressure, it was continuously compressed, transforming into pure Honkai Energy crystals, which were then enveloped in multicolored light, becoming unpolished gemstones.

"Look, according to the size, from small to large, the energy output power also increases from small to large."

"Thank you..."

Looking at the uncarved rough stones, Changguang kissed Gwen on the cheek, grabbed the rough stones from Gwen's hand, and rushed into the changing room next door, ready to return to the laboratory to start his experiment.

"Oh..."

Hearing the rustling of clothes in the lounge, Gwen had no intention of going in to check. The melancholy and anguish that had suddenly welled up in his heart not long ago had completely dissipated.

As Changguang said, he was only intermittently listless, not really burnt out.

"I'll go check out other places first. Take good care of yourself and don't overexert yourself just because you've been strengthened."

Before leaving, Gwen gave him these instructions.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to age prematurely..."

Changguang's excited smile softened, but his movements quickened.

Although he hadn't thought about finding a partner all these years, Changguang now unexpectedly feels that having a partner in life would be quite nice...

After leaving the research institute, Gwen made a detour to another research institute used for studying energy crystals.

Previously, this place was a gathering place for many talents, with Changguang, Velvie, Mobius, and even Vita being regulars here.

However, as Gwen continues to "strike gold" back from the Type-Moon World, this place now seems somewhat "unwanted".

Gwen didn't linger after not seeing any acquaintances. He checked the energy crystal observation data from the past two days and, after confirming that it was unchanged from before he used it as a timer, left.

"Huh, what's that?"

Watching Gwen's departing figure downstairs, Vita glanced casually out the window, blinked, and a slight smile played on her lips—

"They're back already, but I haven't seen anyone mention them in the group chat..."

Whee..."

Wearing a loose-fitting researcher's uniform, Vita, who appeared intellectual and elegant, revealed a smile with a hint of pleasure.

After failing to find any acquaintances in the laboratory researching energy crystals, Gwen didn't bother searching for them further. Instead, he went directly to the residence he had prepared specifically for himself.

Some things need to be resolved.

Unlike Rita's spotless home, which is always spotless after she cleans it, this place has accumulated some dust because no one has been here for a long time.

A gentle breeze swept through the room with Gwen's thought, stirring up all the dust and clearing the room of dust in the blink of an eye.

Without looking at anything else, Gwen walked straight to the most conspicuous Golden Cross—

The Oath of Judah, the Eleventh Divine Key, the Key of Binding, Theresa's weapon, and also... the weapon of Kallen Caslana, which Otto and Gwen used as a "Holy Relic" to resurrect Kallen.

And now, a touch of spirituality has quietly appeared inside.

It's not some Judah spirit, but rather...

"Call..."

Gwen took a deep breath and, without hesitation, pulled the Broken Blade from his waist slightly and placed his other hand on Judah.

The invisible and intangible power of time quietly enveloped Gwen and Judah, causing the spirituality within them, which should have been gestating for a long time, to rapidly grow stronger, become complete, and come alive.

As the soul was being completed, the coffin beside it moved without wind, and the lid suddenly flew off, revealing the serene body of Kallen, who looked like Sleeping Beauty from a fairy tale.

A warm golden light quietly enveloped the corpse that had been sleeping for over five hundred years, adjusting this body that could actually be described as vibrant.

Moments later, the soul revived from the Oath of Judah was safely transferred by Gwen into her original body, merging seamlessly without any hindrance...

Chapter 692 Kallen's Problem

Remembrance scatter like autumn leaves in the wind, making it difficult to grasp their underlying structure.

Kallen, as if blinded by sandstorms, tried desperately to retrieve her scattered Remembrance, but it was as if she had returned to the day her father died. No matter how much she cried, she could no longer make her father smile at her, and she was powerless to do anything.

Was it because she was reminded of her father's grief?

Or is it because of the heartache of those who died tragically because of Otto's stupidity?

Kallen didn't know, but her eyes were already wet.

However, when Kallen, still dazed, opened her eyes, she was astonished and stared wide-eyed—

"Cherry?

What are you doing here?

Has the seal been broken?

Seeing this pretty face that had left a deep impression on her Remembrance, Kallen immediately thought of the Black Box that had caused her so much suffering, and Yae Sakura, who was sealed with it.

My first reaction upon seeing Yae Sakura was that the seal had been broken and the demon in the Black Box was about to wreak havoc on the world again.

"Kallen, don't worry, it's safe now. The demon in the Black Box has been completely eliminated."

Hearing Kallen's words, which she had expected, Yae Sakura smiled gently and lightly patted Kallen's shoulder.

Hearing the conversation inside the room, Gwen extended his mental energy, working with Yae Sakura to soothe Kallen, and quickly calmed Kallen down.

After calming down, Kallen looked at her loose robes, then at Yae Sakura standing before her with a gentle smile and vibrant energy, and a deeper sense of doubt arose in her heart—

"Sakura, what's wrong with me...?"

"Am I not already dead?"

Kallen considered herself quite strong, but in that situation, having her body pierced by a monster, it seemed like she was doomed, right?

"You did die, but no one said you can't be resurrected..."

The unfamiliar male voice made Kallen's mind go blank for a moment.

Following the sound, Kallen saw a man she had never seen before, but judging from his white hair and blue eyes, he should be a family member.

"You are... one of my people?"

But I...

Sorry, my mind is a bit muddled right now, I can't remember who you are for the moment..."

Kallen rubbed her head vigorously, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and she couldn't remember which tribesman this was at all.

"Don't rush, don't panic. It's safe now. There are no monsters or enemies. You'll have plenty of time to sort out your Remembrance later."

Or are you planning to organize your Remembrance first, and then understand the current situation?

Seeing the obvious confusion and helplessness on Kallen's face, Gwen smiled and came to the bedside to ask.

As he spoke, Gwen thoughtfully brought over a cup of hot milk and a plate of biscuits.

"Thanks..."

Kallen politely accepted the food and drink, but her brows remained furrowed as she silently fed it, clearly not giving up on quickly organizing her Remembrance.

However, even after finishing what she was eating, Kallen couldn't sort out her Remembrance. Her head felt increasingly chaotic, so she had to give up and look up at Gwen beside her—

"Sorry, I still can't remember who you are..."

But Kallen noticed that Gwen was already sitting on the edge of the bed, while Yae Sakura Gwen naturally beside him, as if it were a natural and proper thing for a priestess to worship a god.

"It's alright, it's not your problem—"

Because you don't even know me.

"Can..."

Feeling her mind was even more confused, Kallen patted her head, decisively giving up on thinking, and looked at Gwen—

"Whether I know you or not, I don't think you're a bad person..."

"You're the one who helped Sakura get rid of the demon in the Black Box and break free of its seal, right?"

Hearing Kallen's words, Gwen raised an eyebrow.

If you were to give Kallen a Heroic Spirit template, Gwen thinks she should at least have Intuition as her inherent skill.

"Yes, you could say that."

Gwen nodded, and seeing that Kallen had finished all the cookies, he took out a few pieces of cake.

Kallen accepted it all without hesitation, asking questions as she ate—

"Can you tell me what the situation is now?"

Have the monsters in the city been dealt with?

How many civilian casualties were there?

More than her own current situation or how she was resurrected, Kallen was more concerned about the people who might have lost their lives because of her or Otto's stupidity.

"Have no idea."

Faced with Kallen's barrage of questions, Gwen gave only one answer that made Kallen pause in her act of putting food in her mouth.

"What?"

Kallen stared wide-eyed at the "tribe member" in front of her, never expecting such an answer.

"Well, I wasn't there, and it's been a long time since that happened, so I don't know the details."

After explaining for a moment, Gwen changed the subject—

However, there is one person who might be able to give you the answer you want.

"Who?"
