For Kiana

"Hmm, Rita, you've finished your competition?"

Gwen looked at Xiao You, who was already lying down, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I managed to win by sheer luck, relying on my advantage as a human."

Rita said modestly.

"Since it was a victory won through strength, there's no need to say things like that..."

At this moment, Xiao You, who had broken down due to overload, suddenly spoke up.

"Humility is a virtue, but being too humble is not a good thing."

Since Rita has put in so much effort behind the scenes, she shouldn't always keep it hidden...

"Rita did what she was supposed to do, Lord You Lan Dai Er."

Rita's smile remained unchanged, seemingly unconcerned, though she was secretly glancing at Gwen out of the corner of her eye.

"Leaving aside the fact that being dutiful is a commendable virtue, winning a battle is commendable in itself."

There is no reason why winning by playing to one's strengths does not constitute a victory.

Moreover, without consistent effort, even with a significant racial advantage, you can't win..."

Gwen spoke, he took two steps forward to tidy Rita's slightly messy hair and smiled.

"I have to thank you for the improvement you gave me, otherwise Rita would have had to work much harder to win..."

Rita's lips curled into a happy smile.

"?"

Shigure Kira, however, frowned slightly as she watched this scene.

Isn't Gwen Bianca's boyfriend?

Why are you so close to Rita again?

While Shigure Kira was brainstorming, she suddenly heard Rita say to her—

"Senior Kira, judging from your appearance, you must have already accepted the favor, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Shigure Kira put aside her thoughts and looked at Rita with some curiosity, trying to figure something out.

"In that case, how about we have a competition?"

Rita, who usually gives the impression of a gentle maid, smiled slightly. Her voice was still pleasant, but it revealed a rare hint of sharpness.

"OK."

Shigure Kira was taken aback at first, then nodded in agreement.

However, before heading to the training ground, Shigure Kira hadn't forgotten what happened earlier, and defiantly waved her little fist at Gwen—

"If you dare to call me that again, I won't let you off the hook."

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Gwen raised his hands, but the smile on his face gave Shigure Kira the feeling that this guy would never change.

"After being taught a lesson by Rita, do you now understand your current strength?"

Gwen, holding Xiao You, sat down to the side and asked.

"It's still the same problem with this body. Although it can move freely and do many more things than when it was a sword, in terms of combat, it's a complete hindrance and can't play its due role."

Xiao You moved her little arms and legs, expressing her dissatisfaction with this body, completely forgetting that she had been cheering happily not long ago.

"Want to get a new Soul Steel body for combat?"

Gwen smiled.

"Then you'll have to work even harder, Xiao You."

After all, even I can't just arbitrarily use strategic resources like Soul Steel..."

"Okay, okay..."

Why do I feel like you're constantly pressuring me to go to work?

"Illusion."

"That's very suspicious..."

Believe it or not...

While Gwen was persuading Xiao You to work hard for the bodies of others, Rita and Shigure Kira's training also began.

Although they pale in comparison to the phenomenal players of their time, both were outstanding individuals, and even though this is just a competition, it is still highly entertaining.

Of course, this requires the kind of dynamic vision that computers like Gwen and Xiao You possess; otherwise, you'll only see two figures moving around and won't be able to see anything at all.

In the end, this impromptu competition ended with Rita's victory.

"Rita, you've grown to this level in just a few years..."

Exhausted Shigure Kira took a breath and sighed.

"If this had happened a few months ago, Rita probably wouldn't have been able to win either..."

Rita helped Shigure Kira walk towards the rest area.

"It's just that Senior Kira returned at the exact time that Rita used the power of grace to improve herself once again."

According to current standards, Senior Kira has already reached S-rank.

After all, you had many moves you couldn't use in the competition just now, didn't you?

"Has kindness greatly improved you?"

Shigure Kira lowered her voice and asked curiously.

Why don't you try it and see?

Rita said with a smile.

Chapter 791 For Kiana

"Stigmata Space?"

You Lan Dai Er sat up straight upon hearing the term Gwen uttered, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, the Stigmata Space, as the name suggests, is a special space derived from the Stigmata."

Gwen nodded and explained—

"Dr. Mobius used you as an example in his report investigating the current state of Stigmata in modern civilization."

After careful consideration, I made some modifications to the plan proposed in the report. Combined with Misterine's abilities, I am very confident that I can truly activate the Stigmata on your body.

However, there are some dangers involved—

It's not simply a matter of strength; it also involves the spiritual realm, and perhaps even your past.

"My past?"

You Lan Dai Er hesitated for a moment, his expression dimming slightly—

"Does it refer to my Remembrance before I entered the orphanage?"

"Um."

Gwen nodded.

"Although you have found a new goal for which you are willing to give everything and are working hard towards it."

But for you, this is an important and indispensable step in recognizing who you are.

If you cannot handle it smoothly, then you might...

"Don't worry, I will do it."

You Lan Dai Er interrupted Gwen, saying in a deep voice—

"You have the whole world on your shoulders, and I cannot back down because of this danger."

"As expected of you."

Gwen smiled, and then said—

"But let me finish speaking—"

Thanks to Misterine's ability to connect with us, we can guarantee your safety.

However, forcibly escaping in this way could potentially cause you some unknown form of harm.

So, if you're going to do it, don't hesitate, just go for it. I'll be your strongest support.

"Of course, I always believe that."

You Lan Dai Er smiled brightly and took Gwen's hand.

"Just as you trust me."

After You Lan Dai Er chose to go to the Stigmata Space to activate his Stigmata, Sue and Kevin got busy again—

As always, this is part of a project in which Mobius is involved.

The only difference is that the person designated in the previous plan was May, but now it's Mobius...

Leaning against the wall of the Thousand Worlds, One Law, Kevin unconsciously recalled the figure that he had been away from for 50,000 years, yet which was still clearly imprinted in his mind.

At this moment, a warmth, never before felt, surged within that long-dead heart—

Yesterday, Gwen invited him to the room with the many "Holy Relic" on display.

There, in the letter he gave to Gwen, in the last letter he handed to Gwen after learning of his abilities, with a sense of self-doubt, he sensed a weak but undeniably present mental fluctuation.

The mental fluctuations that would appear in this suicide note, which only passed through the hands of him, Su, and Mei, could only have come from Mei, the only one who died!

The person I was afraid to look at when I boarded the rocket, afraid to even glance at them, and who I would never see again when I returned—I'm finally able to see them again!

Kevin was overwhelmed with excitement, but fifty thousand years of contemplation and coldness had made it impossible for him to show that sunny smile as he had fifty thousand years ago.

This caused Kevin some distress—

He knew that May definitely preferred him the way he was back then, but habit is a terrible force, and even Kevin found it difficult to overcome his own habits.

"Kevin?"

Kevin?

A familiar voice rang out in front of him, bringing Kevin back to the present moment.

"Um?

What's wrong"

Kevin snapped back to reality and looked at Sue with a puzzled expression.

"You...

Nothing..."

Seeing Kevin shift from a silly grin to his familiar poker face in an instant, Su hesitated for a moment, but didn't ask why. She simply said,

"The experiment is about to begin, so get ready."

"Good."

Although he had just revealed a silly smile that made Su Du subconsciously open his eyes to confirm it because he was recalling the past, Kevin was still the same Kevin had experienced 50,000 years, without the slightest lapse in performance.

"..."

Watching Kevin's retreating figure, Su stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled as to why he saw in Kevin the shadow of the past—the headstrong, impulsive young man with an external brain, whose actions replaced thought.

Damn it, how long has it been since he'd seen Kevin grin like that?

However, what could cause Kevin to undergo this change...

Although Su was not truly the enlightened one of mythology, he was indeed a wise man and quickly guessed the truth—

"If it's Mei..."

While the two 50,000-year-old men were pondering, You Lan Dai Er was sent into the Stigmata Space to obtain the power he was born with.
