Thanks for the Invite, I'm in Honkai, Grinding Stats to Level Up

"So, he needs someone to give him a push."

"But wouldn't that put too much pressure on him?

And if we do this, won't it give the Herrschers, who are adept at stirring up internal chaos among humans, an opportunity?"

Theresa, though surprised by Otto's immense confidence in Gwen, frowned as she recalled the information she had just seen.

"Indeed…

So, I'm only pushing him forward step by step, not shoving him into the center of the world all at once.

If he's unwilling, then there's Bianca.

While her personality is a bit too straightforward, she's already on this path.

The difference is whether she carries this world alone, or if someone walks beside her."

"..."

Listening to Otto's heavy words, filled with a sense of mission, Theresa fell silent again. In her mind, she recalled the battle with Sirin over a decade ago, her overwhelming power…

"Little Theresa, Finality won't stop because we're soft-hearted. The more pressure we give them now, the easier it will be for them in the future."

Gently ruffling Theresa's hair, Otto softly comforted his granddaughter, whom he hadn't seen in years.

"Hoo…"

Under Otto's comfort, Theresa, with her incredibly complex emotions, let out a long sigh of stale air. She downed the rest of her bitter melon juice in one gulp, as if casting aside her complicated feelings to the farthest reaches of the sky. She looked up at Otto, a hint of undisguised anxiety in her eyes.

"Then… Grandpa, I have one last question… Kiana…"

Theresa had helped Siegfried defect back then, but she gave up because Kiana was recovered by Destiny's forces, as Otto had said. Later, her request to visit Kiana was denied, and she eventually left for the Far East.

Although over the years, Theresa had dismissed Otto's words as a deception, now that many things had been reversed, could this matter also be…

Chapter 83: Ground Splitting Slash

"Kiana…"

Hearing Theresa mention that name, Otto's smile widened—

"Don't worry, my little Theresa, your dear goddaughter is growing up very well. I can guarantee you that.

However, she is currently carrying out a plan that concerns the survival of humanity, so she cannot reveal herself to you yet…"

"…"

Theresa met Otto's gaze for a long time, but seeing nothing, she sighed and then straightened up, placing her hands on her hips.

"Then I'll trust Grandpa one more time. If you lie to me again this time, I really won't talk to you anymore."

"Yes, Grandpa promises, this time it's absolutely true."

Hearing Theresa's words, which were both childishly cute and serious, Otto nodded solemnly, gently stroking her head as he replied earnestly.

"Hmph, then Theresa will trust Grandpa one more time~"

With Otto's promise, Theresa's tense little face finally broke into a smile, just like in the past.

And seeing the smile on Theresa's face, Otto also revealed a gentle smile.

However, Otto couldn't help but sigh inwardly again—

My dear little Theresa, you are still too trusting…

While Otto finished deceiving… no, persuading Theresa, Gwen's battle on the other side was also drawing to a close—

In the virtual training room, the once lush and fragrant Taixu Mountain, with its abundant trees and singing birds, looked like it had been ravaged by an earthquake, utterly unrecognizable.

With its sharp edges smoothed out by Ganesha, Gwen stood on Taixu Mountain, watching Ganesha charge at him again from a distance, gripping his greatsword.

Although Gwen's strength had improved somewhat from half a month ago, it was not enough for him to defeat Ganesha.

Even with the limitations of the technology, the simulated Ganesha in the virtual laboratory was still a far cry from the real one, but it was still not someone Gwen could contend with at his current level.

Remembering how Fu Hua activated the Key of Domination in the manga, Gwen did not deliberately stall or look for weaknesses in the simulated Ganesha to defeat it. Instead, he faced the pressure directly, wanting to see if he was that lucky one, or rather… a genius.

However, even when facing Ganesha's irresistible onslaught with all his might, the Xuanyuan Sword in Gwen's hand did not show any further changes, nor did it complete its unique transformation.

His body was nearing its limit, and Gwen no longer had the energy to focus on the changes in the Xuanyuan Sword.

Compared to this, Gwen was more interested in seeing what kind of record he could achieve fighting Ganesha alone now—

"Ground Splitting Slash!"

He whispered inwardly, and the greatsword in Gwen's hand, shimmering with a light yellow halo, was swung forward from its vertical position on the ground.

As the greatsword swept across, the earth cracked inch by inch, and a light yellow blade of light rose from the ground, growing larger in the wind.

The Ground Splitting Slash of the Ground Splitting Blade, slashing through the abyss to drive away darkness, destroying the angry earth, and restoring the land.

Although Gwen hadn't figured out how to use the Xuanyuan Sword in the past few days, with the growth of the Five Elements power within him, Gwen had gained a somewhat indescribable understanding.

As his understanding deepened, some information, clearly from the Light Shadow Stone, quietly appeared in Gwen's mind.

Although Gwen couldn't fully comprehend the meaning of these things yet, it didn't prevent him from combining them with his own application of power to unleash this move.

And so, on the cracked earth, the light yellow blade of light grew rapidly in the wind. By the time it reached Ganesha, it was already several dozen feet tall.

The next moment, the blade of light, dozens of feet high, collided with Ganesha, which resembled a meteor falling from the sky. A terrifying roar echoed through the wilderness, forming sound waves in the air that felt almost tangible.

The majestic Honkai Energy and the power originating from the earth clashed violently at this instant. Dazzling light erupted from the point of collision, plunging the entire world into a blinding white.

Even Gwen, the instigator, instinctively turned his head and closed his eyes.

At this moment, Gwen suddenly felt a sense of disorientation.

When he opened his eyes again, Gwen was no longer looking at the dim sky filled with dust kicked up by Ganesha's rampage, but at the bright lights of the control room.

"This is..."

Instantly realizing he had exited the simulation, Gwen looked at the control console beside him and met Fu Hua's gaze.

"The simulation system crashed."

Pushing up the red-framed non-prescription glasses on her nose, obscuring her eyes with the reflection from the lenses, Fu Hua stated concisely, "Although the virtual training room can simulate Emperor-class Honkai Beasts, due to insufficient data sources and some technical issues, it still has flaws.

During our battle, the simulated Ganesha exhibited changes beyond its computational capacity.

Furthermore, your final attack itself also had some variations that the system could not reasonably calculate.

The combined effect ultimately led to the simulation system's reboot."

"I see..."

Listening to Fu Hua's explanation, Gwen nodded in realization, but he wasn't too worried.

Although the Ground Splitting Slash Gwen had just used was not a conventional manifestation of Honkai Energy, it could be attributed to the Xuanyuan Sword.

After all, one of the characteristics of the Divine Keys was to convert absorbed Honkai Energy into natural forces like lightning, fire, and frost.

Even though the Xuanyuan Sword in Gwen's hand was only halfway transformed, it could still serve as an excuse for Gwen to use the power of the Five Elements.

Rather than explaining how he used power beyond the system's calculation, Gwen was more curious if Fu Hua had noticed anything from his Ground Splitting Slash.

However, before Gwen could ask, Fu Hua spoke first:

"That strike of yours... was very good.

It seemed to be a power originating from the earth, but since this is the Headquarters' floating island, its power might have been discounted..."

As she spoke, Fu Hua realized that as the descendant of a Divine Land martial arts family, she shouldn't possess such insight, and quickly changed the subject, "Being able to unleash such a strike might mean that you, Gwen, are qualified to wield the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, but you are still lacking an opportunity to fully master it."

"Mmm..."

Hearing Fu Hua's words, Gwen's brows rose, and some of the doubts lingering in his heart were quickly resolved.

Raising the Xuanyuan Sword, which had transformed into the shape of a greatsword, Gwen said with a sigh, "An opportunity...

I wonder when I'll be able to find this opportunity."

"There will be a day..."

Fu Hua smiled and gestured for Gwen to sit down and rest, casually handing him a bottle of energy drink to replenish his depleted energy.

With a gulp of the cool energy drink, Gwen instantly felt much more invigorated. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

And amidst the comfort brought by the coolness after his exhaustion, Gwen overlooked the "music" that had started playing at some unknown time...

Chapter 84: Three Hours Long

However, although Gwen overlooked it, Kevin in the Sea of Quantum keenly noticed the "music" that Fu Hua had quietly played—

"Is this... Divine Melody?"

Although it was different from the Divine Melody he was familiar with, Kevin still recognized what this strange "music" was...

Thanks to the unusually stable connection today, Kevin in the Sea of Quantum was able to witness everything Gwen had done today.

Gwen's performance in the virtual training room was good, but only good.

In comparison, Kevin's attention was more drawn to Fu Hua, his former comrade.

Although Fu Hua's strength seemed to have severely declined, she was still alive and well.

Even though her personality hadn't seemed to improve much, she was still the same as she was fifty thousand years ago. However, she could now tell lies with a straight face.

Looking at Fu Hua like this, Kevin couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in his heart. It was hard to describe, but it didn't seem bad?

However, despite his feelings, Kevin immediately noticed the Divine Melody that Fu Hua was playing.

Kevin was no stranger to the Divine Melody. It was also a modification technique from the Previous Civilization, specifically targeting the brain to enhance the human body's Honkai Energy adaptability.

However, compared to the Flame-Chaser technology, which had an extremely high mortality rate, the success rate of the Divine Melody was even lower.

"At a gathering a thousand years ago, Danzhu mentioned she was trying to help Fu Hua improve the Divine Melody..."

A distant memory suddenly flashed through his mind. Kevin had a guess and didn't speak to disturb her, wanting to see if the Divine Melody would have any effect on Gwen.

Gwen currently had a latent Stigmata, a Honkai Beast factor hidden in his bloodline that could be activated with a single Hyper-Mutation Factor, and already possessed a Divine Key. If the Divine Melody could also work...

Even Kevin, who had long since made up his mind, couldn't help but entertain a thought that he himself would dismiss as unrealistic...

Meanwhile, when Gwen opened his eyes again in the virtual laboratory, he felt a sense of daze.

In his trance, Gwen felt as if he had taken a short nap by a lake. A gentle breeze brushed against his cheek, carrying a faint floral scent. His heart, like the surface of the lake, rippled slightly with the passing breeze before quietly returning to a state of calm.

Faintly, Gwen felt that something had changed within him, but he couldn't pinpoint where the change had occurred.
