"Okay, then I'll trouble you. Give me three minutes, I'll pack my things."

Welt Young's eyes behind his glasses sparkled with anticipation.

Three minutes later, on March 7th, he excitedly ran to the support section with his camera in hand, only to find in the blink of an eye that the figure standing next to the train had suddenly... disappeared?

March 7th blinked blankly, then ran quickly to the train and, slightly out of breath, asked Pom-Pom:

"Call...

Where are Pom-Pom Gwen?

"That's the big red robot that was just standing next to the train, the one that saved the Space Station."

"He took Welt's passengers home to Par."

Pom-Pom sat in front of the car door, speaking somewhat dejectedly.

Although Welt Young said he would come back, he couldn't help but think of many things from the past, and felt a little sad.

"Go home?"

Himeko, who followed behind March 7th, asked in confusion.

"Who?

Welt?

The group discussed Welt's return home, causing a hint of confusion to flash in Xing's eyes as she followed along.

What is home?

Where do I live?

Meanwhile, Welt Young encountered some unexpected events on his first stop home—

The deep starry sky before him was replaced by bright sunshine and a cloudless blue sky. However, before Welt Young could even savor the familiar air, he sensed that something was amiss in the environment.

"The surrounding environment... seems a bit unusual."

Welt Young, pulling his suitcase with one hand and carrying his cane with the other, reminded Gwen.

During his years on the Stellaris Train, Welt Yang gained not only an improvement in strength, but also a broader perspective and enhanced understanding.

"Indeed, I felt the call of the Honkai."

As Gwen spoke, he placed Welt Young on the ground. Instead of immediately responding to the summons, he resisted, looking to his side and meeting a pair of beautiful eyes filled with joy and excitement—

"I'm sorry I'm late, I've kept you waiting."

"Welcome back, Gwen."

Rita smiled radiantly, her manners impeccable, like a maid welcoming her master home at the living room door.

"It's okay, it's good that you're back."

Anna's smile was gentle, just like when we first met.

"Thanks a lot."

You Lan Dai Er seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end, he only managed to utter one sentence.

"We are too weak to help you more."

Mei sighed, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"The flowers are blooming along the path; you may slowly return home—it's good that you're back."

Li Sushang also had a warm smile, but even though she had a thousand words in her heart, she couldn't say them in front of everyone...

Seeing Gwen in person finally dispelled their worries of the past few days, and the anxious girls were finally able to smile.

However, seeing that Gwen was still inside Apollo instead of coming down to meet everyone, a shadow fell over Changguang's heart.

"What, you went out for a bit, and now you're too scared to come out again?"

If something really happens, she doesn't want Gwen it all alone, but rather to be able to speak up so that others have a chance to help.

"I'm not disfigured, so what's there to be ashamed of?"

Hearing Changguang's whimsical words, Gwen couldn't help but roll his eyes. If he weren't not in his true form, he would definitely teach her a lesson.

"It's just that the legacy of the Finality is too abundant to be consumed all at once. This state allows my computing power to reach its peak, making it easier to digest."

"The legacy has been revealed, which means the Honkai has truly been defeated?"

Velvie's hand, which was fiddling with her hat, twitched slightly, and a strange light appeared in her eyes.

"Everyone, the shackles called 'Honkai' that have shrouded this planet since the dawn of civilization are gone forever!"

Gwen straightened his back, looked around at the crowd of people, some excited and some apprehensive, and announced the news in the bright sunshine.

Chapter 862 Welt: Did I come at the wrong time?

Even though various observations corroborated this, when Gwen uttered the result, everyone present was still momentarily stunned, followed by uncontrollable elation.

Even the bright sunshine in the sky couldn't match the brilliance in people's eyes.

"Call..."

Kevin had just arrived after receiving the news, suddenly relaxed upon hearing the result, as if the heavy burden that had been pressing on his shoulders for fifty thousand years was slowly lifted.

"Oh..."

Seeing his old friend's relieved yet momentarily disoriented expression, Su chuckled softly, opened his eyes, and looked up at the cloudless sky, as if he had returned to a certain day in the past.

"Well done..."

Mobius's smile was unusually candid, and his gaze toward Gwen was exceptionally gentle. His long green hair, which usually gave off a cold, serpentine feeling, was now exceptionally smooth in the sunlight.

"I think we might need a big magic show to celebrate?"

Velvie tossed her hat high into the air, and a gleaming medal landed on her head and into her hand—

"For example, guess whether you'll end up with a gold badge, a silver badge, or a bronze badge?"

"A celebratory banquet and a relaxing performance are certainly appropriate, but what's more important now is to stop and properly handle the contingency plans, and use this window of opportunity to integrate the planet we live on."

Otto looked at Apollo, whose walls were even taller than those of his childhood home, a complex expression on his face, but he still smiled and offered a reminder.

"Besides, Welt just got back, he probably has some things to take care of too?"

Honkai is indeed the greatest enemy of this planet, but there are Honkai other factors that prevent this planet from becoming better.

While those backup plans are no longer needed, they did consume a lot of manpower and resources. It would be better to make the best use of them and use them as emergency plans in case of an emergency.

"Welt is in a rush."

Gwen shook his head, interrupting Otto's spellcasting, and looked at Welt Yang—

"Welt, your time may be shorter than we anticipated. I'll send you back now, and hopefully you can prepare within half a day..."

I think I might already know where Kiana is, but I need to go to the Imaginary Space to confirm the specifics.

"...

Thank you for your help, I'll do it as soon as possible.

Welt Young sighed and nodded vigorously.

After not seeing each other for several years, he naturally had countless things he wanted to say to his old friend, but Kiana's current situation was still unknown. Welt Young, after all, had lived for decades and had a pretty good ability to control his emotions.

"Gwen, do you know where Kiana is?"

Upon hearing news of her younger sister, You Lan Dai Er couldn't contain herself and asked eagerly.

"Um."

Gwen nodded, his gaze sweeping over Mei and Anna—

"In the previous battles, I developed a closer bond with Anna, Mei and the others."

I didn't sense anything when we were outside the Solar System, but after returning, I could vaguely detect Kiana's presence.

"Um...

"I'll have to trouble you with Kiana's matter. Is there anything we can do to help?"

After a moment of silence, You Lan Dai Er sighed helplessly and asked in a deep voice.

"Not for now, no need to worry."

Gwen smiled.

"Moreover, your tasks are not simple either; you're much busier than I am."

After exchanging a few Gwen and calming everyone down, Gwyn sent Welt Young back to North America.

When he returned to Schicksal, Gwen did not actually keep summoning Apollo to act. Instead, after studying it for a while, he used a clever method to summon Apollo, who existed in a special way, into the Stigmata Space, which had a certain mental landscape quality. This allowed him to use the computing power boost provided by Apollo without affecting his normal activities.

As for how to divide the half-day, Gwen wasn't too worried—

Although he hasn't fully consumed the legacy of the Finality, Gwen still has no problem making simple use of the power of time, given his previous experience of borrowing it.

I accompanied Mei, chatted with Anna, had Rita perform her maid duties, shared the gathering of heroic spirits that day with Eden and Griseo, and accompanied Vita to see Sa...

Gwen had a fulfilling time, while Welt Young, though reluctant to leave, didn't linger after a long talk with his old friend and some decisions regarding Anti-Entropy, and returned to Destiny Headquarters ahead of schedule.

However, when Welt Young found Gwen, he silently adjusted his glasses, wondering if it would be better if he hadn't seen him—

In the colorful garden, Gwen was being pinned down on a bench by a woman with pale, ashen hair.

Although the distance was quite far and the view wasn't very clear, Welt Young, who had lived for so many years, instantly understood what was happening.

Although the aura emanating from that person bothered Welt Yang somewhat, he didn't think much of it, after all, it was someone who could subdue Gwen.

Moreover, even though it was just a kiss, it felt like they were about to devour someone alive, clearly indicating that they were not simple characters.

However, before Welt could retreat, the man's white hair quickly returned to a somewhat dull purple, and his strange aura became even more mysterious and unpredictable, with an added touch of etherealness.

"So it's Miss Izanami."

Welt Yang, who had never seen Izanami look like that before, pushed up his glasses. He was somewhat surprised that Izanami, who was usually calm and even seemed wooden, could have such an aura of wanting to devour Gwen. However, he still spoke calmly.

"Um..."

Izanami looked at Welt Yang, nodded slightly, said nothing, and sat silently next to Gwen, his dull purple hair a few shades brighter than it had been a few days ago.

In the three months since Gwen's disappearance, the Izanami has been far from peaceful. The hope they had searched for so long was about to crumble...

Izanami, feeling even more empty than before, was unsure of what he would ultimately do.

Fortunately, Gwen returned in time, preventing her from finding out.

Having finally waited until everyone was alone and Izanami Gwen didn't hold back and wanted to make up for the warmth and color he had been missing during this period. However, he was so captivated by the scorching temperature and bright colors that he didn't even notice Welt Young approaching.

The desire to imbue Izanami with his own color was indeed quite unique, but Gwen was also worried that Izanami's emotions might fluctuate wildly, so he did not fully immerse himself in the kiss and noticed Welt Young's arrival in advance.

Chapter 863 March 7th: There's one more thing!

"You're back so soon?"

Gwen glanced at Welt Young in surprise, but did not let go of Izanami's hand. Instead, he gently placed her hand on his leg, warming the bone-deep cold and loneliness.

"Kiana's situation is still unclear, but I just need to tell them that I'm back and they don't need to worry about me."

Welt Young didn't ask any more questions about the Izanami, and said seriously.

Having spent decades in North America, even though Welt Young had to operate under Joyce's name to guard against Otto's schemes and often had to hide his identity, he had become accustomed to the various aspects of the North American high command. Gwen was nothing compared to him.

"As expected of Mr. Welt, he's reliable!"

Gwen gave a thumbs up, then turned to meet Izanami's empty eyes and said softly,

"Mei, I'll take Welt back first, and we'll talk again later, okay?"

Even though Izanami had just stopped, Gwen couldn't simply ignore the intense emotions Izanami had experienced earlier, which resembled a withdrawal reaction.

"It's alright, I'm much better now."

Izanami gently shook his head, a smile appearing on his lips. Reluctantly, he withdrew his hand from Gwen's palm and placed it on the Great Katana at his waist.

"I'm available anytime. You can go ahead and get busy."

She loved the warmth, craved the colors, but her long years of solitude had forged her unparalleled self-control.

She's not ready to get carried away with it yet.

"Um."
