Elysian Realm! / Elysia's Little Black Flower
While I was focused on comprehending power, is there anything you did that you haven't told me?
Although his tone remained light and gentle, Gwyn, having been caught red-handed, felt a Gwen run down his spine—
That's what makes Elysia say it in that tone...
"Um?"
Elysia raised her delicate eyebrows, and subtly tightened her grip on Gwen.
Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?
Gwen gave up struggling and asked decisively.
What is a lie?
Elysia blinked, a curious glint in her eyes, eager to hear what kind of high-sounding excuse Gwen was going to come up with.
"I've been infected by Elysia; I have this disease that will kill me without Eden!"
Gwen stated this "fact" in a tone as if stating the truth, leaving Elysia speechless.
"You have one more chance to rephrase your words..."
Elysia's face darkened as she threatened with the handle in her hand.
What do you mean by "I was infected by her"?
She was too embarrassed to say it!
"Okay, I confess, I'll tell you everything..."
Gwen gasped, feeling a real threat, and immediately surrendered.
"I'm telling the truth!"
"Um?"
Elysia relaxed slightly, deliberately drawing out her tone, waiting for Gwen's "repentance".
Even in death, nailed to a coffin, I will still shout from my grave, with these decaying vocal cords—
I will always love Eden and Elysia!
Under Elysia's threat, Gwen spoke with a resolute voice, as if he were about to face the Finality.
"Ah!
You bastard!
Elysia, who had expected to hear some serious answers, was completely stunned by her anger. She mounted her horse, and the battle reignited!
However, even though Elysia had the advantage of terrain and launched a relentless attack, she was once in the lead and kept Gwen from even showing his head.
However, Gwen in such a provocation stemmed from prior preparation. Instead of launching a counterattack, he meticulously ascertained the enemy's movements, and at the most crucial moment, he secretly crossed Yinping, directly attacking Shu Han. He decisively defeated Elysia, who held the strategic pass and seemed to have victory in her grasp, and slew her on her horse.
"Snort!
He's nothing but a charlatan who tries to sell his prize at a bargain price!
Chapter 806 Past! World! Joy! Earth!
Gwen, who had slept for almost the entire day, slept soundly the next day after killing Elysia, the traitor who had sold her head out, and sending her back to continue studying his powers. However, he woke up the next day full of energy. After his usual warm morning exercise and breakfast, Gwen went to find Hyperion, who was observing Ai Yi.
Having been here for some time, Ai Yi seemed to be just a passerby, observing, recording, and experiencing life, talking about life with those who came to her, without doing anything superfluous.
Even when Gwen came looking for her again, Ai Yi was taking pictures with a camera of some unknown brand.
"You seem really engrossed in it..."
After waiting a while, until Ai Yi put down her camera, Gwen smiled and spoke.
"Well, after all, in my time, the Destiny Headquarters was no longer like this; there were many memorable places."
Ai Yi smiled and put down the camera, looking at Gwen—
"You're really in a hurry, coming to see me the day after Kiana's birthday..."
"After all, the Erosion Herrscher is far too dangerous for modern society, and I don't want to take that risk."
Gwen said succinctly.
"Well, since that's the case, I won't waste any more words."
Ai Yi nodded and said frankly—
"If you want to find the Erosion Herrscher, go to the Elysian Realm. There you will find the answer you seek."
However, do not rely too much on known information, and do not be misled by the appearance of things.
We must learn to feel the world with our hearts.
His remarks were very much in the style of Feng Qingyang from next door.
"Elysian Realm..."
Okay, I understand...
Gwen rubbed his temples, never expecting that after all this, the final result would be to return to the Elysian Realm.
"Thank you for your information and reminder. I will be very careful."
With that, Gwen prepared to leave.
"If you're not in a real hurry, could you have some dim sum with me?"
Ai Yi quickly spoke up, her impeccable composure fading with a hint of embarrassment, as if tinged with hesitation—
"I have a feeling that I am not far from leaving this point in time."
Perhaps, by the time you return from your Elysian Realm, I will have already left this place.
When we meet again, it will probably be many years later.
"Of course, no problem."
Gwen was slightly taken aback at first, but then readily agreed without hesitation.
The morning tea was quickly finished. Although it was a short time, the two talked a lot, which gave Gwen a better understanding of Ai Yi and a more vague impression of the future.
"Although I'd love to continue talking to you, I know your heart isn't in it, so go ahead—"
Ai Yi took the initiative to end the conversation, and smiled at Gwen—
May you achieve your goals and have a resounding success.
"Um, thank you..."
Please forgive my temporary absence...
Gwen spoke, he bowed slightly and left, stirring up a light breeze.
"Oh..."
Ai Yi seemed completely unconcerned, and picked up her teacup again—
"That's really your style. You're constantly looking for anchors for yourself, yet you often unexpectedly seem as free as the wind, making people often overlook that you're constantly shrinking your own 'free space'..."
If the Erosion Herrscher still uses the Elysian Realm as its primary place of development in this world, then Gwen needs to be prepared before going there.
First, let's have the door gods. We still have enough manpower, so let's just put them all on the line.
Kevin, Sue, Aponia, and even Griseo went back together to block the door, with Mei following along, to build a strong barrier and minimize all possible risks.
When Gwen led a Flame-Chasers to the World Serpent's base, Gray Serpent was somewhat surprised—
Like Griseo, although she has been back on Earth for some time, she has no intention of going back to World Serpent for a single visit, and spends all her time at Destiny Headquarters.
"Could it be..."
As one of the more gossipy individuals among the Gray Serpent, this Gray Serpent quickly thought of some not-so-pleasant topics.
However, upon learning that the Erosion Herrscher had appeared and was very likely in the Elysian Realm, the Gossip Gray Serpent immediately calmed down and, with permission, announced the current situation through the Gray Serpent Network, causing a huge uproar.
"I've also heard some of your plans from Kevin and Mobius."
Gwen said slowly—
"Given our current strength, we don't necessarily need you to pay such a high price."
Of course, if you are willing to make an effort, I will try my best to reciprocate.
"As long as you control your actions, I can help you fulfill some wishes, such as helping you become real people..."
Gray Serpent is a rather complex character who has done good and bad things, and sometimes there are even conflicts and disagreements among different Gray Serpent.
However, in this world, with Sue, Kevin, Elysia and Eden taking sides one after another, Gray Serpent has almost completely sided with Gwen.
Gwen was naturally willing to give some preferential treatment to this dedicated employee who had worked tirelessly for thousands of years to fight against the Honkai, and to bring this guy with a special background who was prone to going crazy with his daily philosophical thinking back to the right side.
"No problem."
Gray Serpent agreed without waiting for Gwen to finish stating his conditions.
Seeing Gwen's somewhat surprised expression, the Gossip Gray Serpent said with a smile—
"Although I am not someone who likes to make sacrifices, I feel it is my duty to do so if it is for this matter."
And there's a very generous reward, isn't there?
"In that case, the third line of defense will be yours, and the others will be assigned to it."
Gwen nodded, choosing to trust Gray Serpent.
Once all the necessary preparations were complete, Gwen slowly stepped into the dimly lit passageway.
After walking for a long time, the pitch-black darkness suddenly brightened, the dark passage disappeared, and in its place appeared a magnificent Golden Courtyard.
On the sofa in front of the wine cabinet, Eden was, as always, pouring himself a drink, feeling content yet tinged with a certain loneliness.
"Sister Eden, it's been a long time."
Gwen stepped forward and deftly took the bottle from her hand.
"Um?
Gwen, it has indeed been a long time...
With a blurry, drunken gaze, Eden struggled to lift his eyelids. Seeing it was Gwen, he closed his eyes with relief and even rested his head on Gwen's shoulder.
Normally, Remembrance needs to be synchronized with the body's Remembrance to update its impressions and Remembrance of a person. However, thanks to his special talent, Eden can skip this step to some extent. His movements are as natural and fluid as flowing water, as if everything has been done hundreds of times before...
Chapter 807 Elysia's Little Black Flower
"Oh my, what a rare guest!"
With light, quick steps, the cute pink-haired girl looked at Gwen with a beaming smile—
"I thought you'd forgotten this place even existed..."
"There's also Elysia here, how could I forget?"
Gwen smiled and gestured for the other person to sit down and talk.
"Uh-huh?"
Elysia sat down on the sofa opposite, pulled out a monocle from somewhere, put it on, and started cosplaying as a detective—
"Is this your reason for coming to my Good Eden the moment you arrive?"
"It just so happened that she was drunk, so I just needed to borrow her shoulder."
Gwen claimed innocence, but seeing Elysia's piercing gaze, he chose to confess.
"Of course, I must also admit that I am a womanizer. I am honest, and that deserves praise."
"Okay, here's a little Little Black Flower for you..."
Today, Elysia, seemingly transformed into Doraemon, pulled a dark-colored paper flower from her pocket and pinned it to Gwen's chest with a paperclip.
"Being able to say such things with such confidence, from this perspective, you are quite a remarkable person..."
"Put the Little Black Flower on," Elysia said mischievously, as if praising a child's kindergarten teacher.
"Can I take this as a compliment?"
Gwen rolled his eyes, retorted, and looked at the Little Black Flower with a hint of confusion—
"Speaking of Elysia, how come you have this on you?"
