The Gods' Blessing / Ruan Mei's Interests and Emotions

At the same time, it is very similar to Gwen's core ability stat panel.

"So... I became a substitute?"

After glancing at the price, which was determined by some unknown basis, Gwen decided to buy it, his feelings somewhat complicated.

After all, his ability panel is basically the same as his favor panel, with only some differences in certain areas; they are essentially identical.

While Gwen is not a god in the DanMachi world, he does have a genuine god-reincarnated adopted sister Sasha.

Moreover, after igniting the Light of the Mind, Gwen is on the same level as the god who ignited the divine fire in the Infinite Multiverse next door, and theoretically, he can also use it.

Even if Gwen can't use it, Sasha should be able to.

However, the thought that this kind of exclusive cheat might become something that many people have in the future still left Gwen with a somewhat complicated feeling.

"However, no one else's panel is as luxurious as mine, and with my L9, I could even kill the real god in the DanMachi world."

Aside from that... theoretically, L9 isn't the end for me, it just requires spending a huge amount of points to fix...

Let's first examine the quality of this favor...

If everyone could cheat together, who would want to be the team's carry, dominating the game, and just sit back and soak up the points? Wouldn't that be more comfortable?

With the idea that everyone should use cheats together, Gwen chose to extract the item. Immediately, a stream of information entered Gwen's mind in an orderly manner and was quickly received and digested by him.

"As expected, the theoretical upper limit is only L9. It seems there was more to be written, but it was erased..."

Gwen, who did not feel that he would become just another ordinary person by bestowing favors on more people, began to try to continue the story, but ultimately failed—his knowledge in this area was far too lacking.

But that's okay, you can put pressure on your teammates to do what you can't do yourself.

"Sasha, are you asleep?"

"Um?

"Gwen, is something the matter?"

Sasha replied instantly, clearly indicating that the little girl wasn't one to obediently go to sleep on time.

"I just bought something interesting. Let me show you, but don't tell anyone yet."

If feasible, there might be hope to change the course of the Holy War.

Although in the original work, the upper limit of the Blessing System was that the Zeus and Hera Familia led by Empress L9 were directly crushed by the black dragon, but that was only in that world.

If Sasha could improve and enhance it, and use it on the Saint Seiya...

No need for much, just give the Gold Saints and Tenma, with their god-slaying power, a significant boost to their basic abilities and strengthen their Cosmo. Then, give them a few more Divine Cloth and see if Hades can withstand it.

Chapter 724 God's Grace

"Change the course of the Holy War?"

Upon seeing Gwen's words, Sasha, who had been feeling sleepy, immediately perked up and focused intently on receiving the message Gwen had sent.

Sasha has been in the Sanctuary for some time now, having come from a small village in the countryside. The problems that used to bother her, such as food and the bandits who would appear at any time, are all gone.

However, without these survival pressures, Sasha must now face Hades, the god of the underworld, who is trying to drag the entire earth into the underworld.

This is the mission she must bear as the reincarnation of Athena, and it is also what she must do so that everyone can live in peace and tranquility.

Sasha, on the other hand, didn't resist at all. She felt I shouldn't face such a terrifying guy, and instead calmly accepted it all.

In the past, they would face starvation or being killed by bandits; now, the only difference is that they will be killed by Hades, the god of the underworld.

The only problem is that defeating Hades is obviously much more difficult than filling one's stomach and protecting oneself and the village from the blades of bandits.

But... for Grandpa Sage, Grandpa Bai Li, and Grandpa Crestor, for everyone in the village sheltered under the Sanctuary, for Tenma and Aaron who grew up together...

In order for everyone to survive and for everyone to live a peaceful and happy life, Sasha must be brave and rack her brains to defeat Hades, the god of the underworld.

Therefore, Sasha tried hard to curb her playful nature, spending her days either studying with Sage and Bai Li, reading extensively in the Astrology Tower to enrich herself, or training with the few female Saint Seiya to cultivate her Cosmo.

Although, according to Sage and the others, as the reincarnation of Athena, she would awaken her own Goddess Cosmo at the appropriate time, so there was no need to push herself so hard.

But... just as Gwen said, 1 is nothing compared to 100 million, but 1 plus 100 million is more than 100 million.

So even though the Cosmo she had painstakingly cultivated was insignificant compared to the awakened Goddess's Cosmo, Sasha still diligently continued her cultivation.

Fortunately, besides everyone in the Sanctuary and her reincarnated self, Sasha also had other helpers she didn't have: Gwen from another world and the system—

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Gwen had Sisyphus bring her back along with Tenma and Aaron gave Sasha more room to maneuver.

Pegasus, who has performed admirably in every Holy War, returned to the Sanctuary early to receive training, giving him more time to develop.

And Aaron, the human form of Hades, remaining in the Sanctuary allowed them to indirectly control the key to the start of the Holy War.

If handled properly, Sasha felt she could even try to suppress Hades' awakening, just like her plan before her reincarnation, to peacefully weather this Holy War, accumulate enough power, and achieve a complete end to the next Holy War.

Now that Gwen has produced something that could potentially change the course of the Holy War, Sasha is naturally very curious.

"Grace?"

After receiving the message sent by Gwen, a divine light flashed in Sasha's eyes, and a strange charm quietly appeared in the operation of her inner Cosmo.

This is Remembrance that Sasha received at some point, which was then sealed away.

Because the enemy is Hades, the god of the underworld, and the entire reincarnation system and the underworld belong to him, Athena's reincarnation becomes very complicated. She needs to seal her Remembrance along with her God Cosmo and perform a series of complex operations in order to forcibly reincarnate.

After Sasha received a gift from Gwen, some of her Remembrance, which had been sealed away by Athena at some unknown time, spontaneously resurfaced...

"So I've actually tried this before?"

Sasha felt a little strange—

It turns out that in one of the previous Holy War, the reincarnation of Athena had attempted to enhance the Saint Seiya's fighting power through other means, and made many attempts, but all failed due to the tight schedule and the ensuing Holy War.

A sealed Remembrance requires a special incarnation of Athena to be triggered, plus a few short years. Even the Goddess of wisdom could not accomplish such a thing.

However, with the Blessing System that Gwen presented, the ideas and experiences of that Athena reincarnation, as well as Athena's reflections after returning to the heavens, became possible to put into practice.

"Brother Gwen, after receiving the Remembrance you gave me, I remembered many things. Perhaps I can strengthen and modify this blessing. Wait for my news."

"I have to say, she truly lives up to her reputation as the reincarnation of Athena; her ability to apply knowledge to new situations is practically second nature to her..."

Upon seeing the message from Sasha, Gwen sighed inwardly and then sent a message—

"Yes, I believe Sasha, you can definitely do it."

If possible, it would be best to focus on strengthening the ability to hide.

After all, our opponent, His Majesty Hades, is a genuine supreme god. If he were to receive any favors, we would be in for a lot of trouble.

However, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are the core of this Holy War, understand?

Upon seeing Gwen's words, Sasha's heart tightened, as if she could already imagine the scene of the enhanced 108 Specters storming into Sanctuary. She patted her chest forcefully before replying—

"Yes, I will take good care of my health."

Brother Gwen, you must take good care of yourself too, after all, you are the savior of your world...

As the saying goes, soldiers face soldiers, generals face generals, and kings face kings. The Saint Seiya will have to face the Specters, and even Pandora and the Twin Gods.

But the final outcome of the Holy War will depend on Athena and Hades—

If Athena loses, even if the Saint Seiya win, Hades, freed up, could take over the Sanctuary single-handedly.

Therefore, protecting Athena is also, in a way, protecting the planet where the Saint Seiya live.

"So go to bed early. If kids don't sleep at night, they might not grow tall."

"It was clearly Gwen who sent this unsettling thing, and then told me to go to sleep."

Also, how can you be sure it's daytime here?

Sasha replied to Gwen in this way, but a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

"You were just kidding, and you actually took the bait?"

"With the wisdom of a mere mortal, I successfully tricked the Goddess of Wisdom —I can brag about this for the rest of my life."

Gwen's words were tinged with an indescribable pleasure, which made Sasha wrinkle her little nose in surprise.

"Snort!

Ugh, I'm ignoring you!

Sasha then closed the Chat System and began studying the favors Gwen had sent her—

Even though Aaron, the human form of Hades, is in the Sanctuary, the Twin Gods and the commander-in-chief Pandora are still causing trouble on the Underworld Army's side. All paths to improve the strength of the Sanctuary need to be tried. Besides, this path is indeed possible; we just need to see how to walk it faster and better...

Chapter 725 Nguyen Mai's Interests and Emotions

"Now we'll leave it to our reliable Goddess of Wisdom..."

Seeing that Sasha didn't respond for a long time, Gwen closed the chat window, but after thinking for a moment, he didn't close the Chat System directly. Instead, he contacted the second chat Netizen, whose avatar was still blank.

"How's the research on those materials going?"

When Gwen dealt with Chaos in the Type-Moon World, he shared some information he had obtained from the database of the Machine Gods with them to see if they could gain anything from it.

"It's very interesting. Although the information is incomplete, it's still clear that it's a world with a completely different development from the one I live in."

Placing her pen beside the ink that faintly smelled of plum blossoms, Ruan Mei, who had just finished writing a summary, saw Gwen's message and casually replied—

How's it going on your end?

"Not as fast as you. We're still in the information classification and storage stage. It will take some time before we can research anything."

A hint of helplessness was evident between the lines of Gwen's words.

The other side has already begun to make preliminary summaries and characterize the situation, while we are still in the information gathering stage. The gap in strength is huge.

"This might be related to the different flow of time between us..."

A line of text appeared in the dialog box as Ruan Mei's fingers flew across the screen—

After years of exploration and research, Nguyen May also discovered that the time ratio between herself and Gwen on the other side seemed to be somewhat abnormal, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Just as Ruan Mei was about to send the message, she saw a new message from Gwen—

"Speaking of which, the world you live in, Great Scientist, seems to be quite technologically advanced. Have you developed any human enhancement technologies or abilities?"

"?"

Ruan Mei unconsciously raised an eyebrow and quickly deleted the string of text she had just typed.

"Human enhancement?"

There are some.

Common examples include various enhancement agents and mechanical modifications.

However, strengthening at the most basic genetic level is relatively rare and requires a great deal of effort.

Have you gained anything new this time?

"There are indeed some of these. They come from the same civilization as the information I gave you before. They use technologies like nanobots to temporarily enhance the human body, but these enhancements will become ineffective over time."

However, by combining my abilities with some techniques, I unexpectedly achieved a permanent effect; however, the specific effects still require further research and experimentation.

Gwen recalled the situation of Changguang—

If it weren't for the injection of Krylonimia, with the physical condition of an ordinary researcher like Changguang, he probably wouldn't have lasted long and wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.

"A technology similar to nanorobots?"

After a moment's thought, Nguyen May found some information and sent it to Gwen.

"These are my use cases and lessons learned from similar technologies. Because the fields are different, I can't get more specific ones, so these are all I have."

After knowing each other for several years, although we can't say we know each other completely, we have established a basic level of trust.

However, Nguyen May inexplicably didn't want to change their current relationship, and felt that it was fine to let Gwen treat her as a physicist.

"This is a huge help!"

Upon receiving the information, Gwen's brain, honed by the Third Order Gene Lock, rapidly generated numerous ingenious ideas and immediately offered his gratitude.

Then, while continuing to indulge in his whimsical thoughts, Gwen got back to business—

"Of course, that's not what I meant..."

In your world, are there gods, or something similar, beings whose level of existence and the power and abilities they wield surpass those of ordinary life?

"God?"

Upon seeing this word in Gwen's words, Ruan Mei had many thoughts, but her reply remained swift—
