Rita's "Good Morning Kiss"

"But before that—"

Perhaps I could consider using my blood to update and upgrade the grace data for others?

After all, I don't have much of a workload on my end.

"That's true!"

Sasha's eyes lit up—

"At that time, I only need to be responsible for the favors I owe you, Brother Gwen..."

Although... there's nothing I can do..."

Sasha felt a little disappointed at the thought that she couldn't even upgrade Gwen's Blessing.

"Alright, let's not worry about it anymore."

The reason I can't upgrade is probably because my body has reached a certain limit and needs a deeper transformation, rather than it being your problem.

Seeing that Sasha wasn't worried at all about it affecting her status and control, Gwen felt somewhat moved.

Given Sasha's understanding of grace, it's impossible that she was unaware of the risks involved.

The fact that Sasha agreed without hesitation shows that she trusts him completely, without a trace of doubt...

Leaving Sasha's residence and passing through the Goddess back to the side hall of the Papal Palace, the two met Sage and Bai Li again. As for Crestor's thought form, it seemed to have returned.

What was the result?

Sage asked this question, but judging from Sasha's expression, he already knew the answer.

"It's a success!"

Sasha beamed and waved the letter in her hand.

"Sage, you can't stop me from undergoing normal Saint Seiya training now, right?"

"It's certainly a good thing that you want to train, but..."

Sage for a moment, sighed, and looked at Bai Li—

"Brother, let Rangha, that child, be sent to the Holy Land."

While the training of ordinary Saint Seiya is not as bloody and violent as that of Gwen and the other Gold Saints, it is not easy either.

Moreover, Sasha is, after all, Goddess, and needs to maintain the dignity of Goddess. Bringing over Bai Li's disciple is also a good way to keep the secret.

"Okay, I'll talk to the child."

Bai Li nodded.

Seeing Sasha's overjoyed expression, Sage couldn't help but sigh and patted Gwen on the shoulder with a hint of annoyance.

"You have to succeed, kid!"

"Don't make it sound like I'm going to take on Hades, the god of the underworld, one-on-one, old man."

Gwen smiled helplessly.

He understood what the old man meant; he was afraid that if he were gone, Sasha would be heartbroken... and he probably also had some concerns about Sasha himself.

To reassure Sage, Gwen continued to reveal—

"Unless it's an alien enemy, fighting that thing is just a matter of winning big or small—"

Not long ago, I happened to leave the Solar System and happened to bring back a friend who was likely capable of Honkai the Honkai.

The worst-case scenario is simply trying to get the other party to intervene.

"..."

Sage paused for a moment, then patted Gwen's shoulder forcefully again—

"Say this kind of news earlier next time!"

He then shook his hand as if in disgust.

"You're wasting my feelings."

"Could you perform that again?"

Sensing that Sage's emotions were more of a sense of relief and relief, Gwen couldn't help but smile, mimicking Sage's tone just now—

"That is--

You have to succeed, kid...

"Get out! Get out!"

Sage glared at Gwen in anger and waved his hands repeatedly.

"If you keep irritating me like this, I'll lose ten years of my life!"

"Don't rush, don't rush, there's one last thing..."

Gwen quickly stepped back a few paces, avoiding the old man's anger, and looked at Sasha.

"Is it something related to me?"

Sasha blinked and pointed to herself, asking.

"Um--"

Gwen nodded and took out the white wreath he had been keeping.

"Is this the bracelet I gave you?"

Is there a problem?

Sasha blinked, puzzled.

The still-naive Goddess seemed unaware of the blessing she had unintentionally left on the wreath.

"Of course, no problem, I just wanted to give it a try—"

Gwen placed the wreath on his hand and looked at the three people in the room—

"Next, I will use my power to try to establish a special connection between us, which may have some effect in special circumstances."

"Unleash your power..."

Should I seal my aura?

Sage immediately asked seriously.

"Let's lock it down..."

After a moment's consideration, Gwen nodded.

After all, the power of the Light of the Mind does not belong to this world, but it has some special characteristics, so it is best to avoid exposing it.

Soon, barriers rose up in the Papal Palace, and the Gold Saint who were in the Sanctuary returned to their respective palaces to activate the barriers. The Sanctuary instantly entered a state of combat readiness, cutting off all communication between the inside and outside.

Let's begin—

After everything was done, Sage said to Gwen.

"Um..."

Gwen nodded, and a thin flame slowly rose from his body, burning quietly without even burning his clothes.

However, upon seeing the flames on Gwen's body, both Bai Li Sage and Sasha, the reincarnation of Goddess, sensed something unusual about them—

This is not an energy flame, or a physical firework... it could be, but it is essentially something more special and of a higher level.

As the flames burned, the space rapidly became heterogeneous, as if another world was descending upon it.

"What a strange ability—"

Sage murmured to himself, gazing curiously at the roof of the Papal Palace—

Although the Papal Palace was built tall, it wasn't that tall to him.

But at this moment, Sage felt a sense of great distance.

Moreover, on the roof of the Papal Palace, which was originally engraved with some special patterns that could be used to form arrays, Sage saw streaks of starlight.

"This is...

The starry sky?

No... that's not all..."

Sage quickly analyzed everything before him—

"Is this Gwen trying to use something like the Warp to erode the Papal Palace in the real world?"

What exactly does he want to do?

Unlike Sage's bewilderment, Sasha stared intently at a star in the sky that had been somewhat dim but was now rapidly becoming brighter.

Moreover, Sasha had a feeling that the star... seemed to be calling to her.

"That is..."

Instinctively, Sasha raised her hand and reached out towards the starry sky.

The next moment, the stars responded to the girl, a ray of starlight descending from the illusory night sky and touching the girl's fingertips.

In an instant, the connection was established, and the star in the sky solidified completely. Sasha on the ground pressed her hand to her chest, and in a daze, she felt as if she had gained something.

Gwen, feeling the connection with Sasha, smiled with satisfaction.

This is a byproduct of Gwen's Light of the Mind when he faced his Inner Demon, and it is now part of Gwen's Stigmata Space.

Later, Gwen further developed it by combining the Event Storage he learned from Arcueid with the Inherent Domain he learned from Morgan.

It doesn't involve directly expanding the Stigmata Space in the form of Inherent Domain, but rather enhancing the special abilities used when fighting the Inner Demon, using the "help" of others to further strengthen oneself; it can be seen as a self-strengthening skill.

The effects of the skills, besides providing a more powerful decisive blow when facing Inner Demon, can also grant Gwen different amplifications depending on the abilities of the people represented by each star.

For example, Mei's star represents an amplification of her affinity for and control over electromagnetic forces, and Anna...

At this moment, the star corresponding to Sasha has also been fully lit, and its effect is just like that day, complementing Elysia's star. One triggers a miracle, and the other brings victory. They both seem useless, but they can play a key role in special moments.

Chapter 764 Rita's "Good Morning Kiss"

The starlight dimmed, and the Papal Palace returned to its original state. Sage looked at Gwen—

"It's over?"

"It's over."

Gwen nodded—

"It's a success."

"It felt like that star was calling to me?"

Sasha hesitated for a moment.

Although for Saint Seiya, Ying Xing is an essential part of training.

However, this step is not necessary for Sasha, because the corresponding constellation will respond to her as she learns and practices a particular combat skill.

The feeling of "that's like another version of me" that Sasha had just experienced was something she had never felt before.

"Yes, you're not mistaken."

Gwen explained with a smile—

"When I was facing my Inner Demon before, your power, along with that of others, helped me, and I found my own star in my own starry sky."

However, back then, that star came from the bracelet you gave me.

Now, it's simply a matter of handing that connection over to you personally.

"No wonder!"

Sasha nodded knowingly, then asked curiously—

"But besides that, why do I feel like I've gained a little more power?"

Sasha closed her eyes and carefully sensed the sensation.

The next moment, to Gwen's astonishment, a flame appeared in Sasha's hand, warm and bright, as if she were holding the sun in her hands.

Sensing a trace of the Solar Divinity within it, Gwen immediately confirmed that this was his own power.
