That's My Kiana! / Honkai Can Do Anything (Sure); The Herrscher of the Void's Invitation to Meet
Welt Young, whose face was still somewhat pale, had regained some color and smiled calmly.
"Since Ms. Cecilia has already been resurrected, what worries could I possibly have?"
Rather, it's more accurate to say that my decision to hand over the core to you only now stems from my indecisiveness.
"However, in reality, considering the importance of the Herrscher of Reason Core to Anti-Entropy and Welt Yang himself, the handover was still too fast."
Gwen spoke the truth.
"Ha ha..."
Upon hearing this, Welt Young couldn't help but laugh—
"You have accomplished what Anti-Entropy wanted to do but couldn't, and even greatly exceeded expectations."
Moreover, compared to me, a substandard second-generation who can only hide and borrow the name of the first generation to bully others, you can make Joyce play a greater role, whether you can recall Joyce or use him yourself. So why shouldn't I do it?
After all, you're truly going to have to shoulder the world's burdens.
"You flatter me. I was just going with the flow. I didn't have such lofty ideals at first."
Gwen smiled and began to sense the state of the Herrscher of Reason Core in his hand, which was the most experienced of all the Honkai Veteran King.
For him, both Welt Joyce, who left his mark on it, and the thoughts of those 300,000 people were of paramount importance.
In fact, the latter is more important.
After all, the thoughts of these 300,000 people were the best experiment for him.
"Before reaching that stage, setting overly ambitious goals is not a good thing; it can only be called being unrealistic."
Welt Yang was already used to Gwen's modesty. Seeing that he was beginning to sense the situation at the core, he quickly quieted down and just looked at Gwen expectantly.
"It's a success. I sensed many consciousnesses inside, and the most special one should be Mr. Joyce."
However, if he wants to recover, it may take some time.
Soon, Gwen opened his eyes and said with a happy expression.
"That's good..."
Upon hearing this, Welt Young was overjoyed—
If Joyce could be resurrected, it would be a great thing for both Anti-Entropy and for him personally.
"Besides..."
Gwen, however, changed the subject and looked at Welt Young.
"Yang, your body may not be able to fully recover for the time being—"
Your current body was reshaped by chance using Herrscher Core after being destroyed several times. However, because it's not perfectly controlled, there are some problems that can't be solved by simple treatment.
"These are all minor matters; we've gotten through all these years."
Welt Young, however, took it in stride. "So what if my health isn't great? I've been doing this for over a decade now, I'm used to it."
Besides, to be honest, he's an old man in his fifties or sixties, so it's normal for his health to be a little poor.
Chapter 817 As expected of my Kiana
"There's no need for that—"
Gwen Welt Young's nonchalant attitude, Gwyn added—
"There may still be opportunities for treatment in the future—"
Or rather, they already possess the ability to treat it, but lack crucial equipment—
I have the ability to freely adjust my genes, but it directly affects myself.
It's not impossible to use it on others, but it's more likely to cause problems.
My body has a very strong ability to adapt, and it can automatically correct itself even if mistakes occur. However, other people's bodies do not have this self-adjustment ability, and they are prone to genetic collapse due to one or two gene segments not being properly adjusted.
Once I obtain the gene-editing device that can solve this problem, I can completely eliminate the hidden dangers in your body.
After all, even the backlash from a first-order Gene Lock is enough to cause a person's genes to collapse and die. The problem of actively adjusting genes at the fourth order would only be greater. Without the recovery ability of the fourth order, it would be easy to be directly parasitized.
At this moment, Gwen couldn't help but reminisce about the Geng Jin Gang Chu he once couldn't afford—
Even disregarding its ability to increase alien energy simply by carrying it around, its function as a safe gene-editing device is enough to make Gwen drool.
"I don't know if I'll be able to get it again in the future. If I do, then dealing with the mess Otto made or the health problems of the neighboring Liuying can be completely and safely resolved."
On the nth day since I failed to buy the Geng Jin Gang Chu, I miss it.
"Then I will wait and look forward to it."
Welt Young didn't refuse and replied with a smile.
Having obtained the Herrscher of Reason Core and confirmed its status, Gwen integrated it into his body, and the Herrscher of Reason's powers were successfully accessed.
As we all know, the true use of the Herrscher of Reason is not to create turrets, but to analyze and apply the truths of the world—such as the Herrscher Authority.
The Herrscher Authority, Gwen possesses.
However, compared to other Herrscher Authority, Gwen's first analysis after acquiring Herrscher Authority wasn't of those, but rather of the other powers within himself—
If it can be understood using the abilities of the Herrscher of Reason, then it is possible to replicate it in this world.
Whether it's the Cosmo, the Gene Lock, or even Cascade...
Forget about the last one; don't create a huge conspiracy for yourself.
While using the powers of the Herrscher of Reason to analyze his other abilities, Gwen didn't forget anything else—
"Looks like you've been doing well these past few days?"
Gwen looked at Kiana and chuckled, teasing her—
"I don't even need to hold you with both hands, I can tell you've gained three pounds."
"Even if you close your eyes, I believe you can still see what kind of socks I'm wearing today."
Kiana pouted, her lips trembling as she retorted angrily.
Upon hearing Gwen instinctively lowered his gaze—
Kiana wasn't wearing anything special today; she was just wearing a pair of ordinary athletic cotton socks.
"There's nothing to see."
Gwen feigned disappointment and looked away.
What do you mean there's nothing to watch?
Kiana immediately glared, kicked off her shoes, and her small feet, encased in white socks, stepped on Gwen's leg.
The white socks on the girl's small feet stood out strangely against Gwen's pure black trousers, creating an alluring effect.
"Too thick."
Gwen glanced at it and then looked away, muttering to himself that he decided to try finding someone that night. Then, he suddenly became serious and said—
"Kiana, I suggest you put your foot down first—"
Otherwise you'll regret it.
What am I afraid of?
Seeing that Gwen was still unmoved, Kiana wrinkled her little nose, feeling a bit annoyed, and her little feet became even more restless.
You'll find out soon enough.
Gwen subdued Kiana's restless little feet with one hand each, which made their position slightly awkward.
Gwen ignored this trivial matter and spoke to Bella, who had been waiting impatiently in the guest room—
"Come out, Bella!"
"!"
Instantly, Kiana, who had been having so much fun just a moment ago, froze, her neck turning slowly as if it were rusty, and she looked in the direction of the door noise.
A fleeting moment of eye contact brought back distant Remembrance for Kiana. In that snow-covered wasteland, someone was advising and comforting her, hoping she could find a happy future instead of becoming a murderer consumed by destruction...
"Bella?"
Kiana blurted out the familiar name without thinking, but she couldn't care less about such a trivial matter. Her eyes were fixed on the gray figure, awaiting her answer.
"My Queen!"
Hearing that call that seemed to travel through time, from over a decade ago to the present, Bella, who had been keeping a tight face for fear of embarrassing Sirin, could no longer control herself. She rushed to Kiana, grabbed her Queen, and knocked Kiana off balance. If Gwen hadn't been holding her feet, Kiana would probably have been sent flying.
However, her address of "Queen Majesty" also woke Kiana, causing her to hesitate—
She is not some Queen.
In contrast to Kiana's resistance, someone else has already stepped forward on their own—
"Bella?"
Kiana's eye suddenly turned gold, and a hoarse, ethereal voice called out "Kiana," causing Bella to hug her even tighter—
"It is I, Queen Majesty!"
"Um..."
Upon seeing Bella, she forcefully seized some control of her body and rushed out without a care in the world. But now that she had confirmed that it was indeed her Bella, she was at a loss for words.
On the contrary, Kiana, although somewhat embarrassed that she was not the Queen Bella had described, quickly grew closer to Kiana because of her innate fondness for Bella.
Gwen was also pleased with this outcome.
Kiana and the Herrscher of the Void are extensions of Sirin's two sides, and Bella's attitude is undoubtedly biased towards Kiana. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to her Herrscher consciousness, and will later become a weak point for Kiana to attack her.
However, even with only a rough sense, Gwen could detect that the Herrscher's consciousness had already retreated on its own, as if it wasn't Bella who had rushed out excitedly to find Bella.
"It seems... she also understands who Bella will choose?"
Or perhaps they didn't want to see Bella's choice, so they simply backed down?
Gwen and asked Kiana through the Chat System—
"Kiana, should we drag her out now and execute her in front of everyone?"
Or would you rather spend some time with Bella before finally ending everything?
"She..."
Upon hearing this question, Kiana hesitated for a moment before finally saying—
"I'm sorry, Gwen, give me some time. I want to try... to convince her myself."
"Yeah, as expected of my Kiana, she's got real drive."
Gwen laughed.
"Whose house is this?!"
Kiana gave Gwen before turning back to chat with Bella.
Chapter 818 Honkai, Omnipotent (Confirmed); The Herrscher of the Void's Invitation to Meet
After repeatedly throwing Cecilia and Bella, two trump cards, at the Herrscher of the Void, and shaking her resolve, Gwen handed the rest over to Kiana, who had volunteered.
Although the lack of those arduous trials may prevent Kiana from reaching her original heights, Gwen believes that with the love and care of her many friends, parents, and relatives, Kiana will definitely not lose to the Herrscher of the Void, whose resolve has been shaken!
Even if Kiana were to lose the Herrscher of the Void due to the lack of those trials, wouldn't she still have him?
After Kiana went back to compete with the Herrscher of the Void, Gwen didn't rest either, but instead made a trip to the Type-Moon World.
With the help of Arcueid and Sayo Aika, Gwen reached his goal—
The Grand Marshal of the Magic Path, the Second Mage, the lifelong nemesis of Crimson Moon, the disciple of King Solomon, the witness of the Fuyuki Holy Grail, the originator of leg-playing games, a magical girl enthusiast, a useless person-making machine, and the Zelretch that FGO players are ecstatic about—Kishia Zelretch Schbein'ogu.
Amidst the merciless and biting mockery of the magician, especially the Clock Tower, the two cunning old foxes, one old and one young, successfully struck up a conversation.
After a cordial and friendly exchange, Gwen received knowledge of the Second Magic from Zelretch.
Unlike ordinary magicians who treasure their inherited and possessed Inner Demon, the Zelretch is generous with his Second Magic, willing to teach it to anyone who takes a liking to him.
Unfortunately, the Second Magic is ultimately just the Second Magic; not everyone can learn it easily.
Even those exceptionally talented individuals who confidently joined the Zelretch's tutelage would learn from him without uttering a sound. Apart from Tohsaka Nagato, the ancestor of the Tohsaka Family who supposedly survived due to limited aptitude, they were basically all ruined by learning from him. This made the Zelretch's reputation for teaching disciples quite ambiguous—becoming "Zelretch's disciple" was almost synonymous with "being turned into a cripple."
Therefore, when Gwen asked for the Second Magic and offered to trade it for information from outside the world, along with helping him to beat him up and keep Crimson Moon locked up in a dark room forever, Zelretch readily agreed to the deal.
