Stellaron Renormalization, Sore Hands and Aching Hearts / The Stellaron Gremlin Meets Its Family
Golden light pierced the gloomy sky and the biting wind, cleanly severing the connection between the star core and the equipment, instantly making the once more treacherous environment feel more relaxed.
Having confirmed that the star core was under control, Gwen continued the dismantling work.
Soon, the last layer of transparent glass made of an unknown material was removed, and the star core was completely exposed.
Even though the star core constantly emitted a bone-chilling cold, it couldn't stop Gwen's steps in the slightest—
During his training with Crestor, he had personally experienced colds far more deadly than this.
As Gwen approached, the surrounding golden light gradually shrank, compressing the star core's activity space and causing its power to wane.
Seeing that Gwen had taken control of the star core, the few people who were still on high alert nearby breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred—
A surge of Imaginary Energy arrived in an instant, shattering the energy Force Field that Gwen had used to confine the star core and destroying the neatly arranged equipment and components.
As for the star core, radiating endless cold, it was as if it had been shot by an invisible pistol, instantly slamming into Gwen's chest and embedding itself halfway into it—
"Gwen!"
The sudden change was unexpected by everyone.
Ignoring the danger, the group rushed to Gwen's side, only to be stopped by the deadly chill. Before they could even touch Gwen, a layer of ice had already solidified on their bodies.
In the end, only March 7th, who possessed the Six-Phased Ice, and Star, who Preservation by the blessing of the Holy Lance, were able to get close and reach out to support Gwen.
"Gwen, how are you?"
March 7th was so anxious that she burst into tears, but the crystal tears turned into ice crystals as soon as they left her eyes and fell with the wind.
On the other hand, Xing felt as if a fire was burning in her heart, leaving her feeling lost and helpless.
Caught off guard by March 7th's call, Gwen did not respond. Flames flickered in his slightly closed eyes as he mobilized the power within his body to suppress the raging Imaginary Energy that surged forth as the star core entered his body.
At the same time, a time travel request popped up.
Gwen spared a moment of his energy and chose to agree.
The next moment, a beautiful woman with black hair, who looked as if she had stepped out of a water town in Jiangnan, appeared in this snowy landscape wearing a thin dress.
Ignoring the surprised and puzzled looks from the people around her, Ruan Mei stared intently at the star core on Gwen's chest. A bright blue light shone from her fingertips, outlining strange patterns before finally landing on the star core with a unique vitality.
As Ruan Mei took action, the deadly chill emanating from the star core lessened slightly, and the raging Imaginary Energy that threatened to destroy Gwen's body like a flood breaching a dam also calmed down a bit.
"Okay, that's good."
Finally managing to muster a sliver of focus Gwen reached out and grasped Ruan Mei's soft hand, who was still sketching something. A warm smile appeared on his icy face.
"I think I can handle the rest myself."
"...
Good."
After exchanging a glance with Gwen, Ruan Mei didn't offer any further advice or express her curiosity. She nodded, stood up, and took a few steps back.
"Sorry to have worried you. Please step back a little, I need to deal with this problem."
Gwen then looked at Star and March 7th, who were supporting him on either side, and nodded to Asta and Dan Heng, who were already frostbitten.
"Don't worry, although I was caught off guard, I only have a minor cut on my chest and no internal injuries."
Gwen exuded convincing composure and confidence, and the frost on his face had completely melted away.
"Are you really capable?"
"How about we ask this lady for help again?"
March 7th didn't know Ruan Mei, but he could tell that Ruan Mei could limit the star core without affecting Gwen.
"That's enough. I also made some unexpected discoveries while dealing with the impact of the star core energy on my body."
Gwen carried an indescribable confidence and composure.
"Now that I have the time, I can handle him."
"...
Okay, you have to keep it up! We'll be waiting for you over there.
March 7th pursed his lips, forced out a somewhat pale smile, helped Gwen to his feet, and then let go and stepped back.
In the pocket beside him, a phone kept flashing on and off, as if hesitating whether to speak.
"Don't worry, I'm still waiting to see you show me the photos you took."
Gwen smiled, an invisible flame already burning on his body, isolating the star core from the outside world.
As everyone retreated to the edge of the creation platform, the invisible, faint flames had transformed into raging flames, illuminating half the sky.
"Hey, don't leave now that you're here. I need a proper indicator light for my cosplay, so you're the one."
With one hand pressed against the star core that was half-buried in his chest, Gwen's lips curled into a dangerous smile.
Chapter 889 Star Core Reorganization, Hand Pain and Heartache
In his efforts to combat the violent and icy Imaginary Energy surging from the star core and prevent it from fundamentally damaging his body, Gwen made several attempts.
In particular, when using the Herrscher Authority to offset the effect, the result was much worse than expected.
During his time on the Herta Space Station, Gwen never stopped digesting and absorbing these powers.
By now, there would be no burden under normal circumstances, and Gwen could completely conceal it. This is why he decisively came here to participate in the final battle against the Star Core, without worrying that this unexpectedly active Star Core would steal something from him.
However, even if Gwen's utilization of the powers that burst forth from the Cocoon of the End was perhaps not as high as his utilization of them if he had fully accepted the Cocoon of the End, he should not have been forced to retreat repeatedly when facing the power of the Star Core.
After Ruan Mei arrived and weakened the Star Core to some extent, Gwen made several more attempts and discovered that the Herrscher Authority seemed to be exceptionally well-suited to the Star Core.
Because they are on the same track, the tampered complete star core can suppress the Herrscher Authority that Gwyn has initially integrated based on the advice given by Gwen Xenadia.
But because of this, with the star core restricted and Gwen now in power, the snake swallowing the elephant would become exceptionally easy—
The First Flame that brought about change cleansed the tampering and the original vague will on the star core, bringing a new turning point.
The true essence of the Seventh Sense's peak Cosmo permeated the air, the principles of the Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) redefined the rules, and streams of power were inscribed by Gwen into this star core, which was as blank as a sheet of paper—
The power of reason in analysis and construction, the power of emptiness connecting the Imaginary Space...
As strands of power were inscribed into it, the star core gradually took on the shape of Gwen, and the power within Gwen was once again integrated...
On Everwinter Peak, the creation platform where the star core fell, covering the origin of the planet's Cold Wave, is now engulfed by towering flames.
As the Star Core was contained and modified by Gwen, the seemingly endless the Rift receded, and figures familiar to Gwen gathered outside the Creation Platform, listening to March 7th's vivid account of what had just happened.
However, before March 7th could finish speaking, the towering flames slowly subsided, and a tall figure slowly walked out from within them.
Under the watchful eyes of those who were worried, concerned, or expectant, Gwen slowly emerged from the firelight, revealing a hearty smile—
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"..."
Cocolia, who shouldn't have come to the front lines but did anyway, carefully examined Gwen from head to toe, confirming that Gwen was still the Gwen she knew. She let out a soft breath, her voice unconsciously trembling with a hint of anticipation—
"It's over?"
"It's over."
Gwen, his expression becoming serious and solemn.
"The Cold Wave that has shrouded this planet for nearly a thousand years has finally come to an end today!"
"..."
Even though she had expected it, Cocolia's heart still raced and her breathing became much heavier after hearing Gwen's words.
Behind her, the guards protecting the Great Guardian couldn't help but cheer.
Their laughter was like flipping a switch; the enthusiastic cheers and hearty laughter quickly spread to the rear camp, igniting the air throughout Belobog and giving this city, which was gradually dying in the cold Cold Wave, an unprecedented burst of vitality.
As a hero of this battle, Gwen naturally joined in the sea of joy.
Even Asta, who was just passing through and had only a superficial involvement, was infected by this joyful atmosphere.
Suddenly, Asta felt her hand being grabbed. She looked up instinctively and found that Gwen had appeared beside her at some point.
"Shh..."
Gwen gestured for silence, but didn't let go of Asta's small hand.
Asta felt a warmth seep into her very bones, washing away the lingering chill from her hands.
Although she couldn't reach Gwen during the Star Core upheaval, her hands still suffered severe frostbite.
Even Asta's protective gear couldn't completely withstand the Cold Wave from the star core, which was filled with violent Imaginary Energy.
Asta had intended to return to the Space Station for treatment, but Gwen had unexpectedly noticed the frostbite on her hands, which brightened the girl's mood somewhat, though she still gently pulled her hands back—
"Okay, I'll go back and get some treatment, don't worry too much."
As a major contributor, you should be receiving cheers.
"You can't say that. I could feel your worry and heartache just now. As the saying goes, the ten fingers are connected to the heart. You don't want to cause me heartache, do you?"
Gwen softly and transmitted his voice.
"Hey!"
Asta's clever little brain didn't react for a moment, but her heart suddenly raced, and a blush crept onto her pretty face.
Gwen didn't explain further, but continued to treat Asta's frostbite. His gaze swept across the creation platform, but he didn't notice the elegant and serene figure that resembled a plum blossom.
"That's true, given her personality, it's normal that she wouldn't get involved..."
Despite thinking this to himself, Gwen still sent a message to Ruan Mei through the Chat System, trying to share some of the cheerful atmosphere with her.
However, Ruan Mei, back at the Herta Space Station, had no interest in this matter—
Aren't you going to explain?
On the table in the corner, which was originally empty, a witch with a pointed hat was now sitting crookedly.
The black stockings covering her legs reflected a unique luster under the light, and her slender, long calves swayed gently, revealing her leisurely demeanor.
Herta looked at Ruan Mei with a strange smile on his face, a smile that was not quite a smile.
She had just come looking for Ruan Mei, but couldn't find her in the room Ruan Mei had last entered.
In his confusion, the Herta thought of the elusive Gwen and instantly formed a certain conjecture.
He intended to investigate with Asta, but discovered that his reliable proxy site administrator had also disappeared, which only strengthened Herta's conviction—
Gwen must have used a similar method to take them away from here.
And now, Ruan Mei's sudden appearance seems to confirm this.
"..."
Looking at Herta's smile, which practically screamed "I won't give up until I get my goal," Ruan Mei's faint sense of estrangement that had just arisen inexplicably faded a bit.
Gwen has Gwen triumphs, and she has her tribulations...
Meanwhile, on the other Yaliluo VI, the news that the Cold Wave was about to end and their planet was about to usher in new life completely ignited Belobog.
Chapter 890 Star Core Essence Recognizes Kinship
With the Cold Wave about to end, the Great Guardian Cocolia announced a three-day celebration for the entire city, pushing the already heated atmosphere to a climax.
However, amidst the city's cheers and festive decorations, the atmosphere in the conference room at Clipper Castle was far from relaxed—
The end of the Cold Wave does not signify the end, but rather a new beginning.
This applies to Belobog, and even more so to those who are in overall control.
"It seems that sometimes, having too much prestige isn't a good thing..."
Cocolia rubbed her temples and said with a hint of helplessness.
Doesn't that just prove you did a good job?
Gwen smiled and comforted him.
"Moreover, even if the political entity is changed, it doesn't mean you have to step down—"
Those who are truly politically astute are ultimately a minority. We can simply work on the details of the wording to clearly distinguish between supreme power and the head of state.
"But the plan was already quite sloppy. If we do it so carelessly here, will it really work?"
