Gwen did not take Kiana with him at the time, but stayed behind to help rebuild Olympus, giving her a platform and opportunity to put her knowledge into practice.

Even if some things do happen here that fulfill the Herrscher's seductive words, as long as Kiana personally participates in the construction of this place from scratch and uses her own power to participate in the "creation" here, instead of carrying out the Herrscher's so-called "duty to destroy humanity," then Kiana can launch a powerful counterattack against the Herrscher's seductive words.

From Kiana's calm gaze, Gwen saw what he wanted.

And that is indeed the case.

Leaning on Gwen's shoulder, Kiana, though still full of energy, was exhausted and quickly fell asleep, breathing evenly.

However, unlike in the past, Kiana did not show any fear, worry, or unease at this moment. Instead, her expression was serene, as if she were having a peaceful dream.

After a moment 'Gwen still extended his mental energy.

Using their connection, Gwen infiltrated Kiana's mental world.

However, Gwen did not delve into Kiana's dream, but instead continued to explore, returning to the small wooden house where he first met Kiana's Herrscher consciousness, that Herrscher of the Void, the place where Siegfried Kiana once lived.

Compared to my last visit, when it looked like the place had been hit by a snowstorm and the houses were almost completely buried in snow, this little house is now thriving.

Most of the snow that had accumulated over the years had melted, and the cobblestone road was mixed with mud and ice. The air carried the distinctive earthy smell, but it wasn't pungent; it was just a reminder that spring was approaching.

Gwen knocked gently on the door, but when no one answered, he didn't wait outside any longer and simply pushed the door open and went inside.

Upon entering the room, Gwen was met with a pair of golden eyes that still held a hint of bewilderment.

However, the slight confusion in those golden eyes was replaced by indifference and disgust the next moment, as he stared at Gwen—

"You've done it again!"

Although they only met formally twice, she gained a deep understanding of Gwen through Kiana's Remembrance and had no liking for this guy who seriously hindered her world-destroying plan.

"Yes, I just came to see you—"

Gwen, without any hesitation, pulled out a chair and sat opposite the Herrscher of the Void.

"Snort!

Hypocritical, phony!

The Herrscher of the Void let out a cold snort.

"Say what you will, I just wanted to come and see you."

Gwen paid no heed to the Herrscher of the Void's seemingly sharp but actually harmless words, speaking as if in casual conversation.

"It seems you fell asleep while writing here because you were too tired. You shouldn't be so tired in the future. Go back to bed when you're sleepy. Lying here like this is not only uncomfortable, but you also can't rest well, and it's easy to make your body even more tired."

"!"

Hearing Gwen's tone, which sounded as if he were advising a child, the Herrscher of the Void couldn't help but raise her slender eyebrows, glaring at Gwen with displeasure—

Who do you think you are?

"I am who I am."

Gwen remained unchanged.

"..."

After a moment of eye contact with Gwen, the Herrscher of the Void's gaze grew increasingly cold—

"Snort!

What a boring trick!

It was as if it had returned to the way it was when we first met.

But Gwen knew that she had changed in some ways.

After all, although he and Bronya often tease Kiana about being an idiot, hot-blooded idiots also have their strengths...

"Whatever you like is fine. If you're happy, you can call me a bastard or a scumbag, I don't care."

Gwen shrugged, appearing quite indifferent.

His appearance only fueled the Herrscher of the Void's anger, and she raised her hand to tear this rude person to pieces.

However, considering the increasingly terrifying power gap between them, the Herrscher of the Void ultimately refrained from making a move.

It wasn't because she was following her heart; it was simply because she wanted to maintain her Queen demeanor, nothing more.

"Kiana's birthday is in a few days, and I've prepared a few gifts for her. Would you like to know what they are?"

Seeing the Herrscher of the Void unable to vent her frustration and forced to suppress it, Gwen couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, but still asked with a smile on his face.

"Oh...

Birthday..."

As if finding an outlet for her pent-up emotions, the Herrscher of the Void let out a laugh filled with immense mockery—

Whose birthday is it?

Kiana Caslana?

She's dead!

She died on that spaceship that was trying to save her, this fake, this counterfeit!

She was nothing more than a fake who inherited the other's name without even realizing it.

What right do they have to celebrate Kiana Caslana's birthday?

"But Kiana is Kiana, and she won't turn into Bianca just because you mutter to yourself in a dark corner."

Gwen raised his hand, indicating that he could continue his performance.

"Of course, you can continue..."

"..."

Finding that her words seemed to have no effect on Gwen, and were even being used as a tool for his amusement, the Herrscher of the Void's aura grew even colder, making the small house even colder than outside.

Seeing that the Herrscher of the Void seemed to be enraged and about to refuse to communicate with him, Gwen smiled and said—

"Alright, it seems you've run out of words too—"

Remember to check out the surprise I prepared for Kiana at her birthday party in a few days; you might be interested too.

"Boring, do you think I'm her?"

Gwen look, Herrscher of the Void coldly questioned her, feeling as if her dignity had been challenged.

"You are all continuations of Sirin; what is useful to her will naturally be useful to you."

Gwen, however, simply nodded, indicating that this was exactly what he thought.

"Get out!"

Unable to endure this humiliation any longer, the Herrscher of the Void disregarded the consequences and attacked Gwen with all her might. A giant hand formed from Imaginary Power held Gwen down firmly, tearing apart the "space" of this consciousness space. Countless sharp imaginary elements surged out, threatening to completely engulf Gwen—

The Void Descent!

Chapter 802 The Seven Virtues of Kiana

Gwen was not surprised at all that the Herrscher of the Void could still use Herrscher Authority in the consciousness space; in fact, he was even interested in observing how the Herrscher of the Void used her powers at this moment.

The surging Imaginary Energy instantly engulfed Gwen, and the Void Lance were fired wildly as if they were free. The Herrscher of the Void, enraged to the extreme, showed no mercy and only wanted to punish this madman.

As for killing...

As the Queen of the Void, she certainly wouldn't be unable to kill even a detestable human. However, the other party still possessed something she needed, so he couldn't die yet...

Violence is always very effective at arousing biological emotions.

After the Herrscher of the Void Descent gradually subsided. The Herrscher of the Void eagerly awaited to see how badly Gwen had been beaten by her.

However, as the Imaginary Energy dissipated, revealing Gwen's unharmed figure, with not even a significant fluctuation in his aura, the slight smile that had just appeared on the Herrscher of the Void's face vanished completely.

"Have you vented your anger?"

Seeing the Herrscher of the Void's unpleasant expression, Gwen asked with a smile.

"..."

After staring at Gwen for a while to make sure that the guy was not injured at all, and was not pretending to be fine, the Herrscher of the Void felt a twitch on her face, turned around and left, stomping up the stairs. Her long hair fluttered slightly due to her fast pace, making her look a little awkward and embarrassed.

Don't forget what I just said, or you might regret it.

Gwen called out to the Herrscher of the Void, who had her back to him, but received no response.

"Oh..."

Gwen, then leisurely turned and left.

For the proud and arrogant Herrscher of the Void, simply standing there and letting her attack without breaking her defenses was already a huge provocation and insult. And when she had no more means to retaliate, it escalated into the ultimate insult.

If Gwen were to retaliate and beat up his opponent, it would only provoke the opponent's anger and complicate the situation.

Knowing this, Gwen, with sufficient strength to back it up, directly caused the Herrscher of the Void to completely shut down.

Stepping out of the hut, Gwen circled around halfway and easily caught a white furry ball that was trying to play hide-and-seek with him.

"You idiot Kiana, why are you hiding from me like this?"

Gwen put one hand on Kiana's shoulder and asked with a smile.

"I was just worried that you'd be bullied by that guy, so I wanted to step in and save you..."

Kiana's gaze wandered, and she muttered to herself.

"There's no such thing as a wrong nickname, only a wrong name. You're such an idiot, Kiana..."

Gwen chuckled at Kiana's irrelevant answer.

You're the idiot!

Kiana immediately muttered a couple of discontented words, put her hands on her hips, and glared angrily at Gwen.

"Yes, I'm an idiot, and I have an idiot like you in my family too!"

Gwen smiled and helped her finish the sentence.

"Who owns your house...?"

Kiana turned her head away, avoiding Gwen's gaze, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot, not moving an inch.

"Of course, it's our ultimate, invincible, super cute Kiana..."

Gwen gently took Kiana's small hand, held it in his palm, and said with a smile.

"Huh~"

So cheesy...

Kiana gave a disgusted look and gently kicked Gwen's shin with her toe, but the hand showed no sign of breaking free.

Do you like it?

If you like, I could talk about it all day long.

That's what loyalty is!

Gwen laughed.

"Who would like such cheesy words..."

Kiana instantly showed a look of disgust, her little mouth pouting high.

"Then I have seven virtues, would you like to hear them?"

Gwen's smile was full of mischief.

"No, no..."

Kiana's ahoge (cowlick) twitched, and almost instinctively realized that what she was saying might not be serious, so she shook her head repeatedly—

"If you're going to tell me, then tell me what birthday presents you prepared for me?"

"This won't work."

After all, if you knew beforehand, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore.

Gwen raised his index finger and shook it gently.

"You stingy little thing, I'm ignoring you!"

Kiana pouted, seemingly quite displeased, and shook off Gwen's hand, jogging forward. However, she slowed down after only a few steps, her meaning clear.
