Sasha, lying on the bed, had a tense little face and didn't look at Gwen as she spoke quickly.

Although Gwen was just standing by the bed, his gaze fixed on Sasha's back, Sasha's heart was racing uncontrollably, and her face was burning.

Hearing Sasha's stiff tone, Gwen withdrew his gaze from Sasha's flawless, jade-like back and listened attentively, replying with the key points.

Soon, a dazzling flame ignited in Gwen's eyes, and the power of the First Flame spread throughout his body, giving Gwen an all-around boost.

Soon, as the fingernail scratched across the pad of her finger, a drop of bright red blood was squeezed out and slowly dripped onto Sasha's smooth back.

However--

Boom!

"Ah!"

A golden light burst forth with Sasha's exclamation, blasting Gwen away, shattering the reversed mirror, and leaving numerous cracks in the specially reinforced wall.

"Brother Gwen, are you alright?"

Sasha almost jumped off the bed. She straightened up and looked over. Seeing that Gwen was not injured at all and his aura was only slightly fluctuating, the girl, who felt a chill on both sides, quickly lay back down and hid her swaying snowy skin.

"Cough... it's nothing..."

Fearing he might see something he shouldn't, Gwen, who hesitated for a moment before raising his head, coughed twice to catch his breath—

I'm not that fragile—

"This seems to be a passive counterattack?"

Sasha's situation reminded him of his own previous feelings; if he hadn't intervened in time, Sasha might have suffered the same fate.

"Um..."

Sasha hadn't expected Gwen to know about her situation, but considering that Gwen could also imbue his blood with the qualities of Divine Blood, it didn't seem strange at all.

"When your blood fell on my back, Gwen, and you were about to bestow your grace, the God Cosmo within me suddenly erupted as if it had encountered an enemy. Even though I tried my best to control it, it still emitted the golden light I just saw."

"Um..."

After a moment's thought, Gwen slowly said—

"As your notes say, grace is a key that uses a certain quality in Divine Blood to unlock the treasure trove of the body's potential, making it easier to materialize enhancement and possibilities."

To achieve this, the Divine Blood must be deeply developed in the human body.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the power in my blood has stirred your God Cosmo, causing you to regard me as an enemy to be wary of.

"It's possible..."

But this didn't happen when you accepted my favor, Gwen..."

Sasha hesitated.

"Oh...

Because I have greater control over my own power, and also... compared to your God Cosmo, my Light of the Mind may be inferior in quality..."

Gwen smiled and began to think of a solution.

"You try to control that God Cosmo first, to prevent it from taking any extreme actions, and then I'll give it a try."

"Um...

Also, Brother Gwen, you could try burning your Cosmo first, connecting with my energy, and then dripping your blood on me to see if the rejection reaction is less...

Sasha held up one finger and said.

"That makes sense..."

Gwen nodded, his Cosmo quietly beginning to ignite, gradually connecting with Sasha's aura—

Although Gwen's Cosmo is quite special and different from that of ordinary Saint Seiya, he is still a Saint Seiya, so achieving this was relatively easy for him.

Afterwards, Sasha adjusted herself for a while, until she could feel the scorching flames burning around her, before asking—

"How about we try again now?"

"Get ready—"

Gwen spoke, another drop of blood fell.

A drop of crimson blood traveled a short distance before landing on her flawless, jade-like back—

Chapter 763 The Star Belonging to Sasha

The golden aura around Sasha flashed by but did not burst forth as it had before, blasting Gwen away. Instead, it quickly subsided and did not actually erupt.

"It's a success!"

Sasha said with some surprise, "I didn't expect to succeed on the first try."

"This shows that Sasha's idea was very successful!"

Gwen laughed.

"Now that we've succeeded, let's continue."

"Okay, here's what happens next—"

Sasha immediately focused his mind and began to guide Gwen in sketching out the grace.

Sasha explained very carefully, Gwen listened attentively.

Soon, as a golden light disappeared, a totem with a sun halo appeared on Sasha's back.

In the world of DanMachi, the blessings bestowed by each family are represented by different totems, most of which are related to the divine office or personality of the main god, such as the famous clown totem of the Loki Familia.

In this step, Gwen directly borrowed the Caslana family's powerful shield and sword emblem, imprinting it on the background of the sun.

It's worth mentioning that Sasha's totem was not much different from Gwen's, except that it had an extra olive wreath around the outside and a spear placed diagonally on the shield symbolizing the Shield of Aegis in the center.

Below that is Sasha's data—

Level: L1

Strength: H129

Durability: H122

Dexterity: H133

Agility: 56

Magic: C689

Magic:

When Gwen's fingertip touched the garbled text at the bottom, he didn't know whether it was expected or not; it was both unexpected and not unexpected.

After all, Sasha is Goddess. Even though she is just an innocent girl who has been reincarnated Goddess, she still has the essence of Goddess. It is reasonable that the favors cannot be perfectly matched.

"Brother Gwen, how are you?"

Feeling the warmth of Gwen's fingers on her back, Sasha gritted her teeth, trying to make her voice sound normal.

"Yes, it's successful. I can see the data now, but the magic bar is garbled. It might be because your strength is too great, or because my blood has some defects, or it might be because of your God Cosmo."

Gwen explained the situation and mentioned several possibilities.

"Um...

"Anything is possible..."

Sasha for a moment and chose to give up. After all, there were too many possibilities, and most of the magic in the Blessing System was of little use to Saint Seiya.

"Then quickly imprint the attributes so I can see them!"

"Good--"

Gwen picked up a piece of paper and made a copy, then locked the Grace on Sasha's back, pulled the folded blanket over Sasha, and then handed the paper to Sasha.

"Give--"

"Huh—why isn't it as good as Tenma?"

He can't even beat me in a fight..."

Sasha pouted when she saw her pitiful stats.

"Ha...

Don't forget, Tenma hasn't awakened his Cosmo yet, but you have two Cosmo..."

Gwen chuckled and tapped Sasha's little head.

"Now that you have this, you also have a reason to train without letting Sage stop you."

"Um..."

Sasha pouted and suddenly said—

"Alright, Gwen, you can go out now. I need to get dressed."

"Alright..."

Gwen turned around, but caught sight of the dusty little feet, and shook his head slightly. He bent down and opened his mouth—

"Call--"

"Huh!"

Suddenly, a gust of hot air blew onto Sasha's feet, causing Sasha to gasp in surprise. She turned around and saw Gwen bending over and bowing his head.

The sensation of her small feet falling into the warm, large hands made the girl's cheeks burn even hotter—

"Brother Gwen, what are you doing?!"

As she spoke, Sasha's little feet began to struggle restlessly, but her strength was weak and she was easily subdued by Gwen.

"It's all because you ran around barefoot, and your feet got all dirty."

"If I don't blow on it for you, you'll step on the whole bed in no time."

Gwyn tickled the girl's soles in an annoyed manner, causing Sasha to freeze instantly. Only then did Gwen stop, releasing the little feet that were now clean again.

"Alright, it's clean now, get up and get dressed..."

With that, Gwen pushed open the door and left Sasha alone.

Sasha, however, had already buried her little head in the pillow and hadn't gotten up for a long time...

When Gwen was reviewing the method of inscribing graces for the tenth time, Sasha's door opened with a slight sound, and Sasha, who seemed to be in normal condition, walked out. However, Gwen could sense the tension in the girl's expression.

"Now I am your kin, and you are my kin. We are each other's indispensable family..."

Gwyn slowly approached the girl, and seeing Sasha trying to appear calm, Gwen refrained from further teasing, instead gently stroking her hair.

"Next, I will try my best to resolve my problems perfectly. You also need to train hard and strive to become stronger. When the time comes, we will work together to defeat Hades, the god of the underworld who is eyeing Aaron's body, and completely end this endless Holy War, okay?"

"Um?"

The girl, whose mind was in turmoil and unsure how to face Gwen, softened slightly upon hearing Gwen speak of these things.

"Yes, I will try my best—"

Brother Gwen, if you're under any pressure, feel free to call me anytime.

Although I can't fully utilize my own power yet, I can still support you with my Cosmo!

"It's a deal!"

Sensing the girl's relaxed mood, Gwen smiled and nodded, extending his hand towards her—

"Let's pinky swear."

"Um!"

The girl's small hand and Gwen's large hand clasped together, becoming one.

"If you can improve your physical fitness through grace, I think Sasha, your ability to handle the God Cosmo should also be improved."

"It will be much easier for you to record blessings for others then..."

After making the pinky promise, Gwen thought of something else—
