Final Arrangements, the Last War Council / It's My Good Fortune That You'd Break Your Principles for Me; It's My Duty Not to Let You

Although... it can't really be said that he grew up safely.

"Oh...

Yes, children are the greatest treasure in the world, always bringing unexpected surprises...

Cecilia chuckled softly, casting aside some of her concerns, and looked at Gwen eyes—

Actually, I feel the same way about you—

Rather than facing the Finality of Honkai, bearing the fate of an entire civilization, or even the future of the whole planet, I would much rather my daughter's loved one live a peaceful life, even if it's ordinary and somewhat monotonous.

"Even if I directly abducted two or even three of your lovely daughters?"

Meeting those eyes full of pity, Gwen's heart skipped a beat, but he still broke the atmosphere.

"... You could have chosen not to mention that."

Upon hearing this topic, even Cecilia couldn't help but suppress the gentleness on her face. She sighed helplessly, straightened her posture, and naturally exuded the aura of an elder despite being a young woman in her early twenties.

"But I'm just that greedy guy, hopelessly in love with your lovely daughters."

Gwen held a hint of helplessness, but his words remained remarkably firm and unwavering.

"Therefore, in order to protect this world that has them, I must stand up."

"..."

After staring at Gwen for a long time, Cecilia, whose face had unconsciously hardened, suddenly smiled, picked up her teacup, and took a small sip.

"It seems your resolve is even stronger than I thought..."

I was overthinking it.

"Of course not."

Gwen waved his hands repeatedly and said seriously,

"The more care I receive, the more motivated I become."

Every act of trust makes my steps a little more steady.

"Well then, I wish you... great success!"

As Cecilia spoke, she raised her teacup as if it were a wine glass.

"Yes, definitely..."

Chapter 844 Final Settlement, The Final War Conference

As time passed and preparations drew to a close, Gwen began to make his final promise—

In the icy wilderness of Yaliluo VI, a tall and slender figure stood on a patch of permafrost, oblivious to the surrounding frigid conditions.

Gwen looked at Morgan, whose body was surging with magical energy and who seemed to be calculating something, and asked curiously.

"Can you withstand this kind of environment?"

From the books that Belobog had kept before the Cold Wave engulfed it, Gwen found a global map and discovered an island before him that bore a striking resemblance to the British Isles on Earth—

It wasn't even very far from Belobog, which fit their previous plan for a chance encounter.

"Can."

After a long while, Morgan nodded slightly, his eyes reflecting the endless chill before him.

"By absorbing and transforming energy in the environment through techniques, we can create energy to maintain the barrier's existence. Combined with internal energy replenishment, this is sufficient."

"As expected of you—"

Gwen also gave Morgan's conclusion a thumbs up without hesitation.

"We will need your help to truly complete this."

Morgan remained calm, unaffected by Gwen's words.

"My own energy limit is insufficient to create a barrier of the corresponding size in this Cold Wave, and I also need you to quickly adjust the environment to the required level."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Gwen, who had brought Morgan here, readily agreed.

Soon after, as a vast amount of energy burst forth, a new "foreign object" suddenly appeared in the Cold Wave that had lasted for nearly a thousand years on the surface of this planet. It was even more exaggerated than Belobog, completely isolating the Cold Wave without leaving any gaps.

In response to this unexpected situation, the Cold Wave, which had lost a piece of its "living space," reacted directly, with increasingly violent winds and blizzards engulfing the area in an attempt to reclaim it.

However, even the fiercest cold winds could not shake the barrier in the slightest. Instead, Belobog, which was across the sea, had to temporarily increase its investment in the Earth Marrow to cope with the sudden ultra-low temperature.

Inside the barrier, the once frigid, snow-covered land has been transformed.

The biting cold wind transformed into a gentle spring breeze, the frozen ocean began to flow again, and the land, frozen for millennia, released a moist breath.

While training under Crestor, Gwen mastered the philosophy of Aquarius, which is also the true meaning of Absolute Zero that he taught Anna.

After a long period of preparation, Gwen used this in conjunction with the Light of the Mind to remove the abnormal cold from the barrier, restoring it to its original state.

Although the place was completely silent except for the two of them, and the seemingly vibrant flowers, trees, and the Anti-Matter Legion standing among them had long since lost all vitality, it was not difficult for the two of them.

Once Gwen had cleared away all the remnants of the Anti-Matter Legion, Morgan, who was adjusting the external spells and using the power of the Cold Wave to solidify the barrier, finally stopped the spells he was performing.

Looking at the devastated land before her, at this "blank sheet" that she could paint on at will, Morgan was suddenly overwhelmed with complex emotions. She didn't know whether it was the obsession left by the Pan-Human History Morgan who had conveyed all her knowledge and thoughts to her, or the result of her own experiences on that sinful land over thousands of years.

In short, Morgan suddenly felt a stinging sensation in his eyes.

"You..."

Gwen, who was about to ask Morgan what was wrong, saw her reddened eyes, silently shut up, and began to reflect on the damage that the millennium-old Cold Wave had brought to this suffering land, leaving Morgan space to sort out her feelings.

Seeing Gwen's thoughtful gesture, Morgan could no longer suppress the emotions surging within her. She thought she had long since run dry, but large tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, tracing down her delicate skin and landing on the newly thawed ground, splashing up a few specks of dust.

Has she, Morgan le Fay, Ash, Toneriko, Vivian... finally been able to truly own her own Britain?

Even though she had set up all the necessary barriers before she shed tears, not wanting anyone to see her vulnerable side, her voice still carried a clear sob when she spoke.

"Thanks..."

"You're welcome."

Hearing the voice still tinged with tears, Gwen turned to look at Morgan, only to see that the stern face that was always cold and ruthless in the Fairy Country had now shed its ruthless disguise, and the reddened eyes even gave people a sense of fragility.

"Do you need me to lend you my shoulder?"

I can shut down all five senses to ensure no one else knows.

Seeing Morgan's expression, Gwen suggested.

"...

Thank you, but no need. I'm not that... weak.

Although he had a strange urge to agree immediately, Morgan, having just vented his emotions, managed to control himself.

"Appropriate emotional expression is not a sign of weakness, but rather an excellent ability to regulate one's emotions."

Being able to find a suitable outlet for one's frustrations is also a skill.

In short, don't push yourself too hard.

Gwen corrected Morgan's statement, and said seriously.

Given the fact that everyone in the Moon World is a master of overthinking, Gwen still offered this advice.

"...

I'll contact you if I need anything.

After a moment's thought, Morgan nodded slightly under Gwen's gaze.

"Then I'm ready to serve you anytime."

Gwen laughed.

"Instead of all that, let me go see my business partner first and discuss the details of the plan."

Morgan said.

"Shouldn't we move everyone over first?"

Gwen raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"For you and me, this step is actually the simplest."

Morgan, who had assisted Gwen in the in-depth development of the Stigmata Space, knew he had the ability to bring all the relocation targets over at once, and shook her head.

"In contrast, it is more important to find ways to make both sides coexist more harmoniously on this planet."

"A wise choice."

Gwen praised it.

Even though this elaborate deception was tacitly promoted by the top leaders of both sides and had absolute official endorsement and military guarantee, it was still just one of the excuses to deal with the company later, and it needed to be discussed carefully.

It was a week later when Gwen moved the selected, carefully chosen residents of the Fairy Country to this location.

After completing the arrangements here, Gwen returned to Earth, which he had always been loyal to, to participate in the final pre-battle meeting.

"Okay, now that all preparations are complete, let's conduct the final pre-battle debriefing."

After confirming the progress of all aspects of the work, Otto looked at Gwen—

"Shall we do it, or should we?"

"Come on in."

Gwen raised his hand, signaling Otto to begin his performance.

Chapter 845 It's my good fortune to let you break your principles, and my responsibility to prevent you from doing so.

"Aside from the technical details, this is roughly the plan—"

After a brief and concise introduction, Otto gave his final summary—

"The first step is to open the back door. Gwen will then greet the arrival of the Finality as a composite Herrscher of the present civilization, bearing its power."

The second step involves the Herrscher sharing the burden of the power from the Cocoon of the End, through the enhanced connection formed by Gwen's mental landscape and the blessings of his clan.

The third and final step, after the force has reached its limit, is to Finality —to decide who is superior and who will live or die.

Without considering the technical aspects, it sounds as childish as "open the door, put the elephant in, and close the door."

"It really sounds like a children's game..."

Mobius rested his cheek on one hand and made a sharp remark.

"Many plans are like this after the necessary technical details have been omitted."

Dr. MEI answered her old friend with a smile—

"It's like our last-ditch effort before, where we abandoned technical points and just went all in, then went for A."

"But what has kept you all working so hard, day and night, are precisely those key technologies that won't appear in a concise summary, yet are indispensable for success?"

Gwen also smiled and echoed—

"The so-called world is just a makeshift operation, that's about it."

To those unaware of the details, many things seem like child's play.

"Connect with other Herrscher in the Imaginary Space; briefly link countless World Bubble Honkai by Honkai through the Thousand Worlds, One Law; and finally, when facing the Finality, gather the will of countless people and transform the gathered will into power."

These three problems alone represent three almost impossible technical hurdles.

Dr. Einstein, finally able to attend the meeting in person, calmly said...

"The key to victory for a makeshift team, besides the fact that their opponents are also makeshift teams, lies in these bizarre techniques that may never be mentioned."

"Saying that you overcame technical difficulties by working day and night is bizarre or something..."

Okay, that does fit the original meaning.

Velvie also joined in the fun.

However, as she spoke, Velvie's gaze still fell on Gwen.

"The plan is fine, the technology is fine, so when do we begin?"

"Tomorrow, I had someone calculate it; it's auspicious for travel."

Gwen laughed.
