Durandal: I Do!
But... isn't this too fast?
In Gwen's design, this skill was meant to be two-way; he borrowed their power, so naturally he should give something back.
However, developing this feedback power is not so easy. Even Elysia and You Lan Dai Er have not been able to develop it yet, but Sasha actually opened it instantly.
All I can say is...
Does not closing mean it's open?
"Sasha, you're the first to develop the power of feedback..."
The only pity is that my own power is insufficient; the little bit of power I can provide is not enough to help you.
Gwen smiled and explained the origin of this power, then sighed with emotion.
For others, his strength can play a crucial role.
However, it might not be very effective against Sasha...
"No, it won't..."
Sasha shook her head and said seriously—
"Perhaps it's not powerful enough in terms of sheer strength, but I can feel the feelings that Gwen has poured into this flame—"
With it, I will never feel lonely or afraid!
"Um..."
Gwen nodded emphatically as he met the girl's jade-like eyes.
However, this scene didn't last long before it was interrupted by a somewhat disgruntled voice—
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you today? First you told us to go all out on defense, and then suddenly everything's fine."
"If you become senile, you'd better hand over the papacy to me quickly and go retire."
Manigoldo, clad in Gold Saint Cloth but speaking with a roguish air, was the first to enter the Papal Palace, and immediately spotted Gwen—
"Huh?"
When did you get here, kid?
"Were those strange orders from the old man just now because of you?"
Is it strange to train your reaction speed?
Sage stared at Manigoldo with an unfriendly expression and asked.
Manigoldo arrived quickly enough to stop Gwen from flirting with the young Goddess, which is good, but he doesn't like the kid's loose tongue.
I'm too lazy to argue with you.
Seeing Sage's displeasure, Manigoldo decisively took advantage of the situation, grabbing Gwen's shoulder.
"Tell me, what exactly did you do to make this old man so upset?"
And, girl... what are you holding in your hand, Goddess?
"You also have the power of the sun?"
"Manigoldo!"
Sasha glared at the guy who bullied children, equally annoyed.
"Oh...
Okay, stop teasing Sasha. It's been a while, how about we practice?
Gwen patted Manigoldo on the back and laughed.
"OK!"
"Gwen, beat him up!"
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
I'm the real Gold Saint, okay?
Isn't your stance skewed?
"I don't care!"
The boisterous chatter of young people filled the side halls of the Papal Palace; the sanctuary was, as always, brimming with energy...
When Gwen returned home, the sky above Destiny Headquarters was already shrouded in darkness, with sparse stars twinkling slowly.
"It's so late..."
Gwen glanced at the time and realized it was already past midnight. He decided to abandon the idea of bestowing favors upon the others for the time being and deal with it at dawn.
After getting home and taking a shower, Gwen went straight to bed, and three seconds later, he was breathing evenly.
After a good fight with Manigoldo, the other familiar Saint Seiya also surrounded him. Gwen naturally couldn't show favoritism and accepted the challenge from all of them. Although he honed his new skills, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tired after such a series of battles.
When Gwen slowly awoke from his sleep, a faint scent of roses lingered around his nose.
"You're awake?"
Breakfast is ready. Would you like Rita to help you wash up?
A familiar, gentle voice came from beside him, and the hint of laughter in it instantly brought Gwen back to his senses.
Opening his eyes, Gwen met the maid's beautiful, smiling eyes and saw his own reflection in them.
Good morning, Rita.
Gwen exchanged glances with the maid, then waved and smiled.
Good morning, Gwen.
Rita maintained her perfect smile as she met Gwen's gaze.
"Since it's morning, would you mind if I asked for a good morning kiss?"
Gwen smiled and sat up to ask.
"Certainly..."
Rita blinked, showing no sign of refusal.
Before she could finish speaking, Rita's rosy lips were sealed with a kiss, as Gwen seized their sweetness...
"So, even though it's already afternoon, Rita is still saying good morning to me."
Looking at the sky outside the window, Gwen pinched Rita's ample bosom with annoyance.
"Since you said 'good morning,' then as your maid, Rita can't very well insist that you've already slept until the afternoon..."
Rita's smile remained unchanged, but her breathing subtly quickened as she looked at Gwen's profile with a smile.
"What a disobedient maid! It seems she needs to be properly punished."
Gwen said "fiercely," and in no time at all, he stripped the poor maid into a little white lamb and began to punish her severely with sticks.
Under Gwen's tutelage, the maid who had maliciously provoked her master fully realized her mistake, repeatedly saying that she would not dare to do it again next time, and finally gratefully accepted the High-healing teaching tool.
Finally, Gwen used his telekinesis to scoop up the porridge Rita had cooked and fed it spoonful by spoonful to the maid who was lazily leaning against him.
Chapter 765 You Lan Dai Er: I do!
"Rita, do you still want to continue improving your strength?"
After feeding the maid a bowl of porridge and taking a couple of sips himself, Gwen put the bowl down, admiring the maid's perfect face, and asked softly.
"Um?"
Rita, who was about to take her usual short nap, blinked her watery eyes and looked at Gwen in surprise.
Seeing that Gwen wasn't joking, Rita smiled gently.
"Rita certainly hopes to become stronger and be able to do more things."
But Rita was also well aware that this was her limit.
Even with continued investment, it's unlikely to yield much more substantial progress. It's better to let things take their course and invest time and energy in more meaningful endeavors.
After all, with you and Lord You Lan Dai Er here, Rita only needs to do her supporting job, right?
That's what they say...
Gwen gave Rita a light peck on the cheek and chuckled softly.
"But Rita also wants to continue to become stronger, right?"
After all, Rita was the most talented Valkyrie among those generations.
"So, Gwen, you have a solution?"
Rita's heart skipped a beat, her beautiful eyes reflecting Gwen's figure, and she asked curiously.
"Certainly."
Gwen smugly.
The next moment, Rita felt a tremendous force strike her from below, and her body was lifted into the air, spun twice, and landed back on the soft bed, but with her back facing upwards.
"Please wait a moment—"
As he spoke, Gwen had already put on his pajamas, pricked his finger, and blood dripped onto Rita's back.
As expected, the blessing was successfully inscribed beneath the totem, revealing Rita's attributes—
Level: L1
Strength: S966
Durability: SS1289
Dexterity: SS1499
Agility: SS1489
Magic: SS1485
Magic: Perfect Maid: A maid who strives for perfection can identify her own shortcomings and bring them closer to perfection.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this magic, Gwen raised an eyebrow—it was indeed a power very much in Rita's style.
Is there a problem?
Gwen? "
Rita heard Gwen's questioning voice and quickly asked.
"It's nothing, I just think it suits you very well, Rita— "
Gwen spoke, he made a copy of the favor and handed it to Rita—
"Take a look, this is a summary of your current situation from one perspective."
"This is..."
Rita looked at her grace data. Although she could understand the meaning of the words, she couldn't quite grasp what they were saying.
In short, this is me...
Gwen briefly explained the origins of Grace and its function to Rita.
"I see..."
Having understood the whole story, Rita nodded knowingly, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes—
"So, Rita is also qualified to continue improving?"
"Of course, you've been making progress, just perhaps from different angles and levels."
Now, all that's left is to continue improving in terms of strength..."
After speaking seriously, Gwen then turned and asked—
"So, Rita, do you want to level up now?"
"Don't rush into this..."
Rita was more curious: were there even higher stats than double S-class?
