A Work by Vill-V

"If this is what you want..."

The golden cube shimmered slightly, becoming much dimmer, as if it had returned to the era when it was worshipped by the Apocalypse family.

"After all, for me, knowing your backdoor is as easy as knowing where an ordinary person would be fatally injured; it doesn't need any special explanation..."

Gwen thought to himself as he put the Void Archives into his pocket and set up a seal to isolate the inside from the outside.

Although he was confident he could crush the Void Archives the moment it caused trouble, Gwen, having learned from Mei's experience, decided to play it safe and go find Velvie to get the back door later.

As for now...

Gwen looked at his room full of "Holy Relic" and began to check their condition one by one.

My mother-in-law... well, her soul state is very stable, there's no need to accelerate it, it will be just right when Kiana and You Lan Dai Er celebrate their birthdays;

Dr. MEI's spiritual fluctuations are still very weak and will take a long time. Let's speed things up...

After confirming the status of the others who were still loading for resurrection, Gwen left this place of special significance to find Velvie.

Send a gift, and incidentally get the back door to the Void Archives.

Having obtained the highest level Schicksal authority transferred from Otto, Gwen easily found Velvie, who was at a base somewhere, standing on the Poseidon suit that Gwen had sent back, tinkering with it.

"So, Velvie, do these big toys suit your taste?"

After approaching Velvie and watching her complete the data input, Gwen finally spoke.

"Huh!"

Concentrating on her work, Velvie was completely unaware of someone behind her. When she heard the sound behind her, she was startled and instinctively tried to dodge, but she forgot that she was on the irregular surface of the machine and almost fell over.

Fortunately, a strong arm caught her at that moment, preventing her from coming into close contact with the high-strength alloy.

"Be careful. Although it can be cured, being disfigured is never a pleasant experience."

Gwen helped Velvie to her feet and chuckled jokingly.

"Oh, it was you! You scared me to death!"

Recognizing Gwen's voice, Velvie breathed a sigh of relief, patting her imposing frontal armor, which swayed as if being hit by waves, even beneath her thick work clothes.

"Make some noise when you walk next time, okay? You can scare people to death."

"I have a gift I want to give you, so naturally I want to keep it a little mysterious."

Chapter 697 is a work belonging to Velvie.

"Gift?"

Upon hearing about the gift, Velvie's eyes lit up immediately, and an expectant expression appeared on her pretty face.

One moment it's a space battleship, the next a deep-space fleet, and then there's the Great Crown of Cronos, which can unify multiple powers. The gifts Gwen keeps sending back perfectly match Velvie's imagination when she was young.

"Hmm, a gift that... could be said to be the most suitable for you."

Gwen looked at the brightening face that appeared instantly and nodded with a smile.

"What is it? What is it?"

Velvie's bright eyes were fixed on Gwen, filled with anticipation for the gift he had Gwen.

Why don't you take a guess?

Gwen laughed.

"I guess..."

Upon hearing that she had to guess, Velvie didn't speak immediately. Instead, she pondered for a moment before tentatively asking,

What could make me stop...?

Um... a gift to boost confidence?

"As expected of Velvie, she's very close to the correct answer."

Gwen raised his hand and clapped, then asked in return,

"But why don't you guess it's a more advanced mechanical creation?"

Well...

You said it's the perfect gift for me, so it should be even more specific, right?

Velvie smiled smugly.

"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense any longer..."

Gwen spoke, he tapped Velvie's forehead with a finger, slowly transmitting the "High-Speed Thinking" and "Segmented Thinking" techniques he had acquired from Shion to Velvie.

"How about it, can you master it?"

After waiting a moment, seeing that Velvie had opened her eyes again, Gwen asked with a smile.

"It's definitely a gift that suits me..."

Velvie blinked, then came to her senses and asked hesitantly,

"But... I've always had the ability to split my thoughts, haven't I?"

"Divided thinking is divided thinking, but it is not divided personality."

Gwen shook his head and said seriously,

"Segmented thinking simply divides your thinking, giving you the ability to have multiple thought processes. It is based on the premise that all thinking has the same purpose."

Even if you divide your thought process into ninety-nine loops, they are all results of Velvie's own thinking, not the work of a magician or scholar.

"It was you, Velvie herself, who did these things, not any of the other personalities you created."

"Actually... they're all the same..."

Under Gwen's serious gaze, Velvie blinked and whispered,

"All my other personalities are me too..."

"That's different."

Gwen shook his head, staring intently at Velvie's flickering eyes, giving her no room to dodge.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know, I won't split my personality anymore..."

Finally, unable to bear Gwen's gaze any longer, Velvie turned her head away and muttered under her breath.

"Splitting one's personality is actually quite useful, and it can even negate the Law of Aponia..."

"But I don't want to go ten days or half a month without seeing you."

Gwen straightened Velvie's pretty face, making her slightly moist eyes look directly at him, and said in a deep voice—

"With me here, you don't need to worry about safety, you don't need to go through the trouble of using fraud to find safety for yourself, you just need to give full play to your talents."

A flush instantly rose to Velvie's slightly rosy face; she felt her cheeks burning, her mind went blank, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

Her advanced mechanical dynamics and other courses didn't teach her how to deal with this kind of situation!

Is this considered a confession?

Oh no, back in the Flame-Chasing Moth era, I was always in the workshop, at most the magician would entertain the others, my attention was all on the magic, I didn't pay attention to these things...

Just as Velvie was trying to use her clever mind, Gwen's next words instantly brought her to her senses—

"Of course, your whimsical little toys still don't have unlimited public funds."

"Then I'll just have to put on the guise of a con artist to scam funding."

Velvie instantly regained that familiar feeling.

"But I can use my personal slush fund to give you a sum of money to complete those whimsical ideas."

However, in return, half of these things belong to me.

Gwen laughed.

"Then it's settled. You can't go back on your word when I ask you for funding in the future."

Velvie went astray again, but fortunately she was able to respond normally this time.

"Then I look forward to your masterpiece!"

It's not a conductor's, an expert's, or a villain's work; it's your own creation, Velvie's.

Gwen laughed.

"I'm sure I'll give you a big surprise!"

Velvie confidently stands with her hands on her hips.

"Then I'll wait and see..."

Gwen said.

As they were chatting and laughing, Gwen suddenly noticed a gaze falling on him. Following that gaze, he met a pair of crimson eyes.

"Someone's here?"

"You go ahead and get busy; I still have a lot to research here."

When Velvie saw Gwen turn his head to look towards the side door, he immediately waved for him to leave.

Although she really wanted to hear Gwen praise her a few more times and emphasize her importance, Velvie chose to let Gwen leave so she could calm down.

"Okay, keep it up. Remember to contact me if there are any system conflicts."

Gwen nodded, leaped to the side door, and looked down at the white-haired girl who quickly withdrew her head.

"Valkyrie Quicksilver, it's been a while. How have you been? Have you encountered any troubles?"

Gwen reached out and rubbed the girl's head, Gwen asked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the Valkyrie Quicksilver reply was quite straightforward—

"Have."

"Oh?

What's bothering you?

Is this something I can solve?

Gwen crouched down and looked directly into those crimson eyes, asking.

Only you can solve this.

Under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, I took a deep breath, straightened my chest, and tried to make myself look more imposing.

"I miss you."

"Um?"

Gwen blinked, completely unprepared for this answer, then smiled and touched his forehead to Valkyrie Quicksilver's—

"Yes, I also want to be under the Valkyrie Quicksilver..."

"..."

Feeling the warm touch on her forehead, Valkyrie Quicksilver clenched her fists, but still reached out and pulled Gwen's head toward her, then bit Gwen's lips.

Sensing the force of the two canines, Gwen deliberately withdrew his defenses, allowing the little vampire's two canines to pierce his skin, and blood flowed out.

However, upon tasting the delicious blood, Valkyrie Quicksilver panicked, quickly pushing Gwen away and exclaiming in alarm—

"What's wrong with you?

Are you injured?

Why have you suddenly become so weak?

"Ha..."

Seeing the panic and helplessness on the pretty face under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, Gwen chuckled and patted the girl's head.

Don't worry, I'm not injured or weak. It's just that our Valkyrie Quicksilver is craving some snacks, and of course I'll satisfy her.

"I'm not being greedy, and this isn't a snack."

Upon hearing that it was Gwen who initiated it, Valkyrie Quicksilver immediately realized she had made a mistake, and blushed as she said...

"This is clearly the most delicious food in the world!"
