Elysia: What a Truly Remarkable Experience~~
Her intuition told her—that was her!
"Don't overthink it, that's not you..."
Gwen vigorously rubbed the girl's head, drawing her attention away from the god descending from afar. His psychic powers subtly expanded, severing the connection that had quietly formed between the Dream Seeker and the distant god.
"Can..."
The Dream Seeker wanted to say that her intuition told her that it was her.
But when the Dream Seeker looked up at the gods in the sky again, she found that the feeling had been greatly weakened for some reason, so weak that it was as if it had all been her illusion.
"Okay, don't overthink it. You are you. Walk your own path, do your own thing, and don't let other people's stories affect you..."
Gwen said with a smile—
"Reyella..."
"Reyella?"
Upon hearing the name again, the Dream Seeker looked at Gwen, only to find that he seemed to be calling him by that name.
"Yes, Reyella —beautiful night, this is the name given to you by a Miss Xenadia who has disappeared, and it is the most beautiful and magnificent scenery in her eyes."
Even though his form became increasingly ethereal due to the system's rejection, Gwen's voice grew ever gentler.
"Reyella —the beautiful night is the most beautiful and magnificent scenery..."
In a daze, the Dream Seeker seemed to hear a playful voice say this to him.
In a moment of inspiration, the Dream Seeker blurted out—
"The shadows hidden in the night can only bring fear."
It... was never beautiful.
"..."
Gazing into the Dream Seeker's eyes, which had somehow acquired a bewitching purple hue, Gwen knew that the other was still influenced by the distant gods.
"That's such a childish remark..."
Gwen smiled, turned and glanced at the god in the distance, only to find that although the other party raised his hand, which was stained with an eerie purplish-black color, he did not make a move directly, but instead stopped there.
"Wow, it seems to be a two-way influence..."
Gwen murmured to himself, then looked again at the Dream Seeker beside him, or rather, Reyella—
Some say that light is the invader of darkness, and when it goes away, darkness will return;
Some say that darkness is the greatest enemy of light, and that it will immediately encroach upon light as soon as it weakens.
But in any case, light and darkness always coexist and are inseparable.
Without light, there is no darkness, for everything is in chaos.
Without darkness, there is no light, because everything is a vast expanse of white, without distinction.
A being who traveled backwards from the end of time once said—
The stronger the light, the denser the shadow.
I firmly believe in the eternal power of life, which can conserve energy in the darkness and await the arrival of light.
If you feel the shadow is too dark, think about casting light into it.
Without light, there would be no shadow.
"Gwen, you..."
Dream Seeker Reyella listened to Gwen's words, she felt as if many warm yet heart-wrenching images flashed through her mind.
That inexplicable sadness made her feel incredibly lonely in the world, as if she were the only person there.
At that moment, all she wanted was to grasp something, and so she grasped a warm, large hand—
"Don't go!"
Reyella the Dream Seeker could clearly see Gwen's figure rapidly becoming illusory, as if it would be completely erased like a pencil drawing on a blank sheet of paper in the next moment, which made her heart surge with even greater sorrow, and the sound of her screams was like being torn apart.
"I will always stay by your side..."
The sound, which seemed to be fading away and about to be carried away by the wind, suddenly became clearer and more profound. The dazzling golden light made the Dream Seeker Reyella's eyes blur. When she looked again, she saw that Gwen had put on a set of golden armor, and the illusory warmth on his hands had become real and tangible, as warm as the sun.
"That's great, you..."
The Dream Seeker, Reyella, whose mind was already somewhat dazed, burst into tears of joy, unable to distinguish between the reality before her and the sudden resurfacing of her sorrowful Remembrance.
"But I still have my own path to walk, and you must walk the rest of the way yourself, so... please accept this..."
I will accompany you in this way...
Golden particles drifted from Gwen's body, coalescing into a golden flame that landed between the eyebrows of the Dream Seeker Reyella, bringing her the warmth of the sun as she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
But Reyella, her Dream Seeker from the long, intense Remembrance, simply clung tightly to Gwen's hand, refusing to let go, and shook her head violently—
"No... no..."
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't grasp the rapidly fading hand, making her feel as if her heart was disappearing along with it.
But just before her heart was completely stolen, a genuine letter was placed in her hand. A familiar cool sensation flowed through her body and gathered in her mind, momentarily stunning the almost mad Dream Seeker.
What am I doing?
That excruciating pain, which didn't belong to them but felt like a real experience, plunged the Dream Seeker into utter bewilderment.
However, the light, teasing laugh in her ear quickly brought her back to her senses—
"Reyella, are you holding me like this because you want to come home with me and have a little Reyella?"
"Feel sorry..."
The familiar laughter and banter made the Dream Seeker distinguish between reality and illusion. He dared not look at Gwen, who had regained his true form, and quickly withdrew his hand, his palm still tightly clutching the Invitation Letter that had been shoved inside.
"I think I'm having some kind of mental problem."
Chapter 739 Elysia: What a wonderful experience!
"Indeed, but my word still stands."
Seeing the Dream Seeker's face streaked with tears, yet her forced composure, Gwen smiled and gently tidied her hair, which had become disheveled from her earlier excitement.
Having just left a blessing to protect the Dream Seeker with the Light of the Mind, Gwen's remaining power here is now less than one-tenth, and he is about to be completely kicked out.
"This flame is the Light of the Mind; it will guide me and protect you on your journey until we meet again."
"Um..."
Upon hearing this, the Dream Seeker immediately raised his hand and touched his forehead, as if searching for that golden flame—
Although I don't know why my head was spinning and I started to feel crazy, I can still remember what happened.
However, seeing Gwen's figure becoming even more ethereal, as if he no longer existed, the Dream Seeker quickly pressed for an answer—
"But what if I can't get there?"
"Then I'll come over and drag you back to have a whole football team of babies..."
Ha ha..."
Seeing the girl's lack of confidence, Gwen chuckled and teased her.
Like Wendy before her, simply comforting them won't ignite the fighting spirit of a fragile girl. On the contrary, a well-placed mix of shyness and resentment combined with anger can propel them forward.
"Can't we talk properly at a time like this?!"
The Dream Seeker's hesitation vanished instantly, and he angrily tried to punch Gwen, but missed.
This immediately cast a shadow of sadness over the Dream Seeker's face—
He... still left, just like...
But the next moment, a dazzling light shone before his eyes, causing the Dream Seeker to instinctively raise his hand to shield his eyes. When he looked up, he saw a red... giant?
The Dream Seeker couldn't describe how he felt. The enormous creature that could crush him with a single step didn't instill any fear in him. Instead, he felt a strange sense of security, as if its presence would make everything alright.
"When you feel lost, look up at the starry sky. I am there to light up the whole night for you."
After all, the darker the night, the brighter the stars.
Gwen, taking on the form of Giant of Light, whispered to the Dream Seeker—
"When you don't want to move forward, just stop for now. My fire will always be here, as always."
After all, beautiful girls can do anything...
At the last moment, Gwen's voice became ethereal again, as if merging into another gentle voice, transforming into an invisible force that flowed into the girl's body.
At this moment, the previously dormant Anchor of Doomsday was lit up again, bursting with dazzling light, making the giant, whose figure was rapidly becoming illusory, solidify again.
This scene caught the eye of a distant god, causing his eyes to blaze with dazzling light. He flew forward, accompanied by endless shadows, wanting to touch the light within the Anchor of Doomsday.
Gwen, however, ignored this and simply opened his arms to praise the sun—
"May your courage, my sword, and our respective missions be with the sun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the red giant, without the slightest hesitation, gathered his arms and flew into the sky...
"Um...
May my courage, your sword, and our respective missions endure as long as the sun!
Even though the god descended from the void and stood directly above her, the girl showed no fear. She simply clutched the Invitation Letter in her hand and murmured to herself.
The next moment, everything went black before the girl's eyes, and she lost consciousness.
The god who arrived before the Anchor of Doomsday, carrying endless shadows, could no longer make the silent Anchor of Doomsday stir in the slightest...
"Don't want--"
Suddenly waking from a dream, the Dream Seeker's breathing quickened, chest heaved, and cold sweat trickled down the trembling, layered peaks, tracing alluring curves, unseen by anyone—
"Am I... having a nightmare?"
Looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, the Dream Seeker covered his face with his hands, trying hard to recall the unusually vivid dream he had just had—
As far as she knows, even the most vivid dreams are quickly forgotten after a person wakes up.
So she got out of bed without hesitation, picked up her notebook, and started taking notes.
But even so, it still left her feeling unsettled.
After searching the house without finding the figure from her dreams, the girl decided to go to the Anchor of Doomsday. However, while getting dressed, she unexpectedly found an Invitation Letter under her blanket...
On desolate Mars, in front of a massive Quantum Computer, Apollo's long-dormant aircraft resumed operation.
"You're back..."
Looking at the Quantum Computer that remained completely still, Gwen took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled—
"It was truly a wonderful experience..."
"Aren't you right, Elysia?"
"Yeah, waking up to find your lover encouraging other girls is such a strange experience~~"
The voice that rose from the depths of her heart seemed to carry a hint of melancholy, yet it couldn't conceal the girlish playfulness within—
The next moment, the melancholy words suddenly transformed into a burst of playfulness and energy—
"As expected, Gwen is just like me; we both enjoy helping others and strive for a better future..."
"I'm getting embarrassed by your praise, Elysia."
Gwen laughed.
"Since you're too embarrassed to accept my praise, then help more people so you can accept it with a clear conscience."
Elysia laughed.
Immediately, Elysia, who had just awakened, looked around using Gwen's shared vision, only to find that the surroundings were a deathly still place, like a forbidden zone for life.
In this environment, the Quantum Computer in front of us, partially unearthed from the mountains, exudes a strong aura of a bygone civilization...
Where is this place?
There's no trace of Honkai Energy... Could it be that we've arrived in another Lostbelt?
How desolate...
