Theresa: You Killed Grandpa?

He knew Anna quite well, knowing that the young woman loved those romantic movies.

However, judging from Anna's demeanor, she clearly wasn't going to wait any longer. But he couldn't possibly let the girl challenge her sense of shame to confess first, so he had no choice but to take the initiative.

"No... no need!"

Anna shook her head vigorously, her grip on the corner of the blanket loosened slightly, and her smile became gentle—

"What we have experienced together is more romantic than any long-lasting declaration of love in this world. Being able to spend my life with you is my greatest happiness."

And aren't you going to give me a gift that will stay with me for life?

Anna winked at Gwen as she spoke, looking quite playful.

"Um...

Anna, you'd better catch this carefully...

Gwen smiled as he took the corner of the blanket from Anna's hands, and slowly pulled it down amidst the girl's shy warning of "don't look around," revealing his back, which was as white as jade and without a single blemish.

A drop of tainted blood fell, and although it was slightly different from others, Anna still successfully demonstrated the grace that belonged to her.

Besides her well- Equilibrium development, averaging at double S-rank with only her magic power reaching triple S-rank, Anna also possesses a special skill, Herrscher of Ice, which comprehensively enhances Anna's abilities and performance in this area.

"In this way, Anna, you have a much better chance of completely transforming the Herrscher's powers into your own strength..."

Looking at the description of the skill, Gwen pinched the girl's rosy cheeks again and handed the paper in his hand to Anna.

"Yes, I will work hard and live up to Gwen's expectations."

Although her face was still flushed, Anna nodded vigorously as she looked at her data.

"Oh...

Then let's work together...

Gwen pinched the girl's delicate nose and said—

"Does Anna want to level up now?"

Or perhaps we should try to see if we can gain even more power under this grace?

"Let me try..."

After a moment's thought, Anna tilted her head back and gave her answer—

"Although it's not as good as You Lan Dai Er, I want to try to solidify my foundation before upgrading."

"Very motivated..."

Gwen smiled and kissed Anna's cheek, instantly making the girl blush again...

After spending another half day cuddling with Anna, it was already evening, and dinnertime, amidst Anna's exclamations of surprise.

Of course, more importantly, Himeko sent Anna several messages. Although they weren't explicit, the teasing tone made Anna's face burn, and she shrank back into a ball, no longer daring to meet Gwen's smiling gaze...

Chapter 771 Theresa: You killed Grandpa?

As Gwen spread his favors to his inner circle, the intense training of the Vice-Captain of the Schicksal Blade of Unyielding squad and almost the entire Corona Light squad also attracted the attention of Otto, who was in charge of Schicksal affairs.

After that, Otto invited Gwen, the only one in the group who was relatively free, out for tea.

When Otto asked curiously, Gwen didn't hide anything and told him the truth directly—

Otto is no longer a threat to him; on the contrary, he can use Otto's brain.

After all, even Third Order Gene Lock isn't a panacea.

Such an ability...

It's really amazing...

In the office of the Archbishop of Schicksal, Otto, having finished Gwen, slowly put down his coffee cup, a look of interest on his face.

"The blessings bestowed upon mankind through the Divine Blood..."

Oh...

"Kindness, what a fitting title..."

"Hmm... As far as I know, there are quite a few gods in that world, and the celestial realm there can also interfere with the reincarnation of souls in the lower realm. However, the gods who can directly contact humans all have their divine power sealed, and they are almost in a state of divine power..."

Gwen seemed to be pointing something out.

"A god who sealed himself away and came to the human world?"

Oh...

What an interesting world!

Otto understood the implication in Gwen's words and chuckled as he spoke.

"Unfortunately, I have already accomplished everything I wanted to do."

Even if the gods of that world have the ability to influence souls in other worlds, it's none of my concern anymore.

A few years ago, Otto would have gone to great lengths to find that world and used every means, whether noble or sordid, to get the gods of that world to resurrect Kallen.

But now...

Kallen has been resurrected and is gradually adapting to this future, which may be very similar to the world they once imagined, but still has many unpleasant aspects.

All Otto had to do was make the world a little happier for Kallen before he left.

As for other worlds with gods and such...

He has no interest in anything that doesn't affect the Earth.

"Oh...

It's fortunate that we received this favor now.

If you had taken this out a few years ago, you probably would have turned around and gone to find that other world.

Even if there's virtually no chance of finding it?

Gwen chuckled, shaking his teacup.

"That's true."

Otto casually admitted—

Otto might not have realized it at first, but after learning that Gwen had known his true identity all along, he could guess how much pressure Gwen would feel when facing him.

Even after being teased a couple of times, I remained calm.

"Okay, okay, enough joking around—"

Gwen put down his teacup and got down to business—

"Now that you know about the situation regarding grace, what are your thoughts on its application?"

I had already considered that whether it is widely implemented or limited to a small area, there are advantages and disadvantages.

I'd like to hear what advice your brilliant mind has to offer.

"At this point...

All I can say is that I don't recommend a large-scale rollout—

Otto also put down his coffee cup and said seriously—

"A relatively large-scale deployment might indeed allow Schicksal, or the future, to possess a large number of mid-to-high-end combat forces, but the drawbacks are too great—"

Based on your description, even with the blessing, there is still a limit. In that world with the blessing, adventurers of level seven and above are very rare.

Force--

In fact, very few people can reach Rita's level.

But if it's just this level of enhancement... there's no need.

The things you brought back before, once thoroughly studied, can also greatly enhance your combat power.

Moreover, the drawbacks of doing so are too great—

First and foremost, it will take up your time and energy. Right now, you are the most important person on this planet, the one who carries the planet on their shoulders. You shouldn't spend too much of your time and energy on this level of advancement.

Even if you just use this time to rest, daydream, or even reproduce...

"Cough..."

Gwen, who hadn't anticipated Otto uttering such a word, couldn't help but cough twice. Seeing the pleased smile on Otto's face, he immediately realized that the old man was probably retaliating for his earlier teasing. However, instead of directly "punching the Emperor three times," he wrote Otto down in his little notebook.

"In short, things shouldn't have developed this way—"

Even if they can't be a direct help to you, they shouldn't be too much of a direct burden either.

Otto, his smile unchanged, concluded:

"After all, I'm also curious whether your offspring will have any unusual characteristics..."

"If you're tired from work and want to go to the hospital to rest, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Real."

Gwen shook his hand and said.

"That won't be necessary for now. I'm currently sorting out the distribution of influence in East Asia to see what's the most convenient way to take action. I can't go to the hospital to work for the time being."

Otto smiled and pointed to the screen next to him—

"I've been working overtime for two days on this, and I've even switched from red wine to coffee."

"Then let's speak properly."

Gwen rolled his eyes at the guy and said.

"Just trying to lighten the mood, don't mind it."

Otto smiled and continued—

"Secondly, it concerns the outside world—"

Based on information from various sources, our latest speculation about the Solar System and Honkai is that the Cocoon of the End used the Imaginary Energy tides that exist between each world on the Imaginary Tree to hide the Solar System and turn it into its own exclusive experimental field.

Once humanity survives the Honkai and the Cocoon of the Cocoon of the End dissipates, contact between Earth, or rather the Solar System you envisioned, and the known universe as described by Mr. Tirnan will be inevitable.

There may be well-intentioned ones, but there are bound to be malicious ones.

If they were to capture those who had been granted favors but lacked the strength, and extract information from them to sell to truly powerful forces in the universe, it would pose a huge threat to you.

Even if you are strong enough to not fear this threat.

But... in Divine Land parlance, it's not the theft itself that's scary, it's the thief's eye on you. You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.

"Although I really want to say that this can be insured with Feather of Dust or other mental means."

However, those two reasons combined are enough...

Gwen nodded slightly.

"Besides that—"

My advice to your small circle of friends is to shower them all with favors.

Otto nodded, then changed the subject and said—

"On the one hand, most of them are very talented children who can provide you with more help with the help of grace."

Even with Changguang, by utilizing the nature of grace, you can make her more dependent on you.

Although none of them are the type who prioritize strength above all else and would sacrifice everything for power, this kind of relationship can still save you a lot of energy...

"Stop!"

Gwen hadn't expected Otto to launch into such a long speech, and quickly raised a hand to stop him—

"I understand what you mean. No need to say anything more, I will do it."

"No--

You don't understand...

Otto slowly shook his head, denying Gwen's words—

"You may have a vague concept of many things, but you don't really understand them at a deeper level."

This is the conclusion Otto reached after observing Gwen for several years, following his updated impression of him.
