I Am the Rising Sun, Destined to Bear the World / Vita: How Arrogant of You

After understanding Gwen's purpose, Sora, who had been keeping silent and looking for an opportunity to leave, finally couldn't hold back any longer—

"Don't want..."

Whether they take away her agent or destroy her body, Sa can take it all lightly; at most, she'll just have a headache about needing more energy.

But if Gwen's goal is her world...

Sa cannot accept this.

Suddenly, So, who had seemed listless but was actually secretly trying to break through the blockade, became active and launched attacks in all directions, attempting to break through Gwen's blockade and sink his world into the depths of the Sea of Quantum to continue accumulating strength.

However, if they were no match for each other when they were at their peak, their current desperate counterattack is naturally even less hopeful.

"Alright, stop wasting your energy..."

Once So's counterattack had lost some of its power, Gwen withdrew some of his strength and looked at So.

"You should be able to clearly recognize the gap in strength between us, so recognize your own position."

Moreover, I didn't take your world for nothing—

No matter how well this so-called world develops, it's still not your Frisha, is it?

"Flusha..."

The word seemed to evoke a memory for Suo, and she sighed softly.

"There's no going back."

"Then let me take you back—"

Gwen blocked the railway.

Chapter 752 I am the rising Blazing Sun, destined to bear the weight of this world.

It seemed that because her hometown was mentioned, Suo's reaction speed was much faster.

However, when she looked at Gwen, So's gaze held no friendliness.

"No--

"I can't go back..."

Even though the emotions have faded and the Remembrance have gradually disappeared, Suo, who wanted to transform herself into the world and home, still clearly remembers why she has fallen to this state.

"The so-called fate of the abandoned tribe is to cross the wasteland, raise the battle flag again, and return to their homeland..."

Don't you really want to return to the planet that nurtured your civilization and gave birth to you?

Gwen's voice was slow and deep as he gazed into Sona's empty eyes—

Even if... hope is right in front of us?

"Hope...

It never existed...

A strange emotion flashed in Suo's eyes, but it quickly returned to calm.

Do you want to go back?

Returning to our original home?

Of course I want to.

But Suo knew even more clearly the terrifying existence at the center of this star system.

Going back would only extinguish the last Core Flame of her life, completely obliterate the evidence of Frosha's existence, and make people believe that the planet has always been a lifeless, desolate place.

Otherwise, why would she abandon everything from the past, discard her body, give up her emotions, and transform herself into this monstrous thing?

"Perhaps it didn't exist in the past, but now... I'm here—"

Gwen slowly shook his head, no longer concealing his power. The aura of his Cosmo, intertwined with creation and destruction, surged forth, and the First Flame, formed from the Light of the Mind, was fully revealed. Instantly, Gwen became like a newborn sun, illuminating this starry sky that had been nurtured for an unknown period of time.

"I am the rising sun, destined to bear the weight of this world on my shoulders!"

"..."

The sun's brilliance was reflected in the hollow, alien eyes. So stared blankly at the giant who radiated golden light and seemed to be the embodiment of the sun, feeling the "existence" and power that far surpassed his own.

Under that radiant light, So felt her long-dormant heart begin to beat again, telling her of its deepest desires.

Meanwhile, Vita, who was the person most familiar with and understood Sa, immediately noticed the change in her creator, and a complex expression appeared on her fair face.

Mixed with anticipation, hesitation, and doubt, Vita said nothing, simply basking in the familiar glow, watching So's figure, and waiting for her answer.

"Perhaps you can do it..."

After a long pause, Suo finally spoke, her voice now carrying a more human quality—

"But I can't go back until then..."

Gwen's existence surpasses hers, perhaps offering hope of defeating the Honkai.

However... she had never witnessed the full power of the Honkai, so she couldn't properly compare the two and wasn't confident of victory.

And she... no longer has the capital to lose again.

"Oh..."

Seeing that So had finally relented, Gwen chuckled and deactivated his transformation.

With a flash of golden light, the radiant giant dissipated into countless particles of light, revealing the figures of Gwen, Griseo, Eden, and Elysia.

So's gaze swept over Griseo, but she showed no emotional fluctuation—

"It's you..."

When he touched Eden, his eyes flickered slightly as he noticed certain qualities in her, but he did not linger.

As she passed by Elysia, So's gaze lingered for a moment, sensing the unique nature of her presence.

But in the end, So's gaze fell upon Gwen—

What do I need to give in return?

Although emotions and existence gradually faded, Vita was driven to wreak havoc in the Sea of Quantum day after day. So's computational abilities were not bad, and she was well aware that she had to give something in return for what she wanted to gain.

Should I say she's smart or stupid?

Seeing that Sha recognized Griseo but didn't even apologize, Gwen asked Vita, who was standing to the side.

"Perhaps they don't care?"

Vita, as if nothing had happened, walked briskly to Gwen's side, then, leaving a fragrant trail, passed him and went to Griseo's side—

"Hello, Griseo, I'm Vita."

Although this is the first time you've met me, let me apologize, since your ordeal is also related to me.

Vita gently put her arm around Griseo's shoulder, standing very close to Griseo. She extended a slender finger and pointed at So, who was opposite her—

"But she's still the culprit..."

"..."

Griseo remained unchanged upon hearing Vita's words; she said nothing, but her gaze shifted back and forth between Vita and So.

Griseo could sense the similar yet different colors on Vita and So, but the lack of information made it difficult for her to determine the situation.

Therefore, Griseo chose to remain silent and leave the matter to Gwen.

Perhaps she had some doubts before, but after what just happened, and after meeting Elysia and Eden, Griseo was willing to give Gwen enough trust.

On the other side, with all her power still firmly sealed, Sa faced Vita's accusation. In a daze, a flash of inspiration seemed to pass through her, but there was still a barrier between her and the answer, making it difficult for her to truly grasp it.

"So the first thing—"

Let's apologize to Griseo first.

Seeing that So was still acting like a novice, Gwen knew that this was because the other party had separated her emotions and even personality, but he could not simply ignore it. So he simply pulled Griseo aside and pushed her to the front.

At the same time, Gwen also directly used his mental power to inform Griseo of the information he possessed about So.

Venus, who was also Honkai by the Honkai, is the last survivor of the Flaus mentioned earlier. In order to obtain a body that could contain the Flaus consciousness she recorded, she stopped the Ark, sacrificing her own body, emotions, and even personality in order to control more energy and build a new world in the Sea of Quantum...

Upon receiving Gwen's message and learning the truth, Griseo's gaze towards So shifted. There was a mixture of shared misery and resentment at being treated like prey, but the previous grievances and hatred had lessened considerably.

Griseo is a kind and good girl. Although she had previously been dissatisfied with So, the culprit, after understanding the reasons behind the incident and realizing that she was ultimately safe and sound Griseo was willing to let So go.

As long as the other party is willing to admit their previous mistakes.

Would Saha recognize it?

Meeting.

Perhaps the emotionally detached Suo can only be described as having a rudimentary understanding of human nature, but that doesn't mean she can't understand human speech.

"I'm sorry, but I had my agent plot against you and aborted your trip for my own purposes."

For this, I am willing to pay any price, even if you want me to pay with my life—"

Chapter 753 Vita: She really is high and mighty.

"As long as... Frosa can recover..."

So is now almost entirely rational, so she knows exactly what she wants.

To achieve the goal of making Perusa exist again, and preferably forever, Sa is willing to pay any price.

Based on the current situation, if Gwen can truly defeat the Honkai, then returning to Freyja might be the way to do so.

At that time, there will be no need to rebuild the world. It will only take tens of thousands of years to adjust the planet's state and restore it to a habitable environment.

And by then... the biggest problem hindering the continuation of Friusa might be herself—

She once hurt Griseo, and Griseo was very important to Gwen...

Therefore, Sa said, "I can do anything."

"...

Call..."

Although she wasn't entirely satisfied with So's indifferent tone, Griseo knew it was a hardware problem on the other end.

Moreover, the other party even said they would atone for their sins with their death...

The young woman, now fully grown, let out a long breath, releasing all the remaining resentment and bitterness she had accumulated over the years.

"Okay, I can forgive you."

The girl was a kind and good child who had always received proper education, so she had a high tolerance for harm that was not entirely out of pure malice.

"But there can't be no price to pay."

Seeing that Griseo had agreed as expected, Gwen was unsure whether he should be grateful for Griseo's kindness or annoyed by the girl's understanding, but he quickly said yes.

"..."

So nodded without speaking, but turned his gaze back to Gwen, wondering what price he wanted.

"Griseo, do you have any ideas for punishment?"

Gwen didn't look at So, but instead looked at the girl who had made her decision.

"Um...

Not at the moment..."

Griseo pondered for a moment, then helplessly shrugged.

Although Griseo may be older than Gwen even if we only consider their time together, that is not part of her education.

"How about I make a suggestion?"

Gwen said,

"Although there will definitely be sanctions against Sa afterward, which will greatly reduce her abilities, there will also be some reservations."

Her abilities include powers related to the Sea of Quantum.

Once the reconstruction work on Venus, or Frisha, is on track, let her help you travel to different World Bubble to explore and depict different landscapes, how about that?

As for the timeframe... let's tentatively set it at ten thousand years from then on?

"A thousand years?"
