"Alright, you two, stop fooling around..."

Seeing Gwen and Kiana bickering again, Raiden Mei sighed gently to comfort them, but inwardly she felt very relaxed because of the easygoing atmosphere.

The three chatted and laughed for a while, and the hour hand on the clock quietly pointed to "10". Only then did Raiden Mei and Kiana reluctantly prepare to leave.

"It's 10 o'clock... It's not safe for two girls to go home alone so late at night..."

Gwen glanced at the pitch-black sky outside the window, but instead of immediately agreeing to Mei and Kiana's request, he took two helmets from the cabinet under their differing gazes.

"I just bought a motorcycle a few days ago, why don't I give you a ride home?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana's wary gaze softened, and she smiled and patted Gwen on the shoulder:

"That's kind of you, but I don't need you to take me. You just need to take Mei back..."

Raiden Mei, who was lowering her head to hide the relief and slight disappointment in her eyes, spoke up in rebuttal:

Kiana, don't be reckless.

While you are indeed very skilled in combat, the people wandering the streets at this time may not necessarily be willing to engage you in a one-on-one fight.

"Hehe, Mei, don't worry. From Russia to Changkong City, I've dealt with plenty of those underhanded tactics."

Hearing Raiden Mei's concern, Kiana's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she rubbed against her shoulder, looking like a cat that had caught a mouse and was showing off to its owner.

"Alright, don't stand on ceremony with me, it's only a 20-minute drive round trip."

Gwyn took out the third helmet and tossed it to Kiana, while Gwen, who had already put on his helmet, handed the second helmet to Raiden Mei.

"Hmm... then I'll leave Gwen."

Raiden Mei took the helmets and nodded gently. Looking at the two helmets in her and Kiana's hands, she secretly admired Gwen's thoughtfulness.

As for the question about when Gwen bought the motorcycle, that has already been put aside...

Soon, Gwen, who had first delivered Kiana, also delivered Raiden Mei back to her apartment building.

"Be careful on your way back, and don't speed."

Gwen Raiden Mei returned the helmet to Gwen and gave him a few words of advice.

"Must!"

Feeling the girl's undisguised concern, Gwen smiled in response from under his helmet, then disappeared from her sight with the roar of the engine.

It wasn't that Gwen had no idea of using the opportunity to let the two girls stay overnight to increase his trust in them, but rather that Gwen had other important matters to attend to today—

Chapter 144 Black Seele's Little Notebook

With a helmet on his head and one in each hand, Gwen walked leisurely, looking just like a relaxed high school student who had just dropped his girlfriend off at home.

Back home, Gwen put down his helmet and went straight to the kitchen—

Beside the refrigerator, several dishes of leftovers, which looked no different from fresh food, sat quietly, waiting to be put into the refrigerator for chilling.

However, Gwen put them all into the microwave to heat up.

Finally, Gwen scooped two bowls of rice from the still-powered rice cooker, placed them on a large plate, and then gently waved his hand, and the food, which could easily be considered a sumptuous dinner, vanished.

A moment later, in the Chat System, Seele, whose profile picture was of a delicate girl with blue hair and blue eyes, sent a message:

"Wow, it smells so good! Thank you, Brother Gwen!"

In just over a month, Gwen had successfully gained Seele's trust, making her the second person besides himself to be bound to the system.

Although given the current situation, it's not convenient for Gwen to let Seele, who isn't entirely sure if she's from his own world, come back and live there for a few days using the system's time travel function.

However, Gwen could still manage to give Seele a bit more of a sense of life in the Sea of Quantum.

In the cabin in the Sea of Quantum, although it wasn't the first time she had eaten a hot meal here, the unique aroma of the cooked food still filled Seele with a deep sense of happiness.

However, today Seele didn't start eating immediately. Instead, after setting the food on the table, she said in her mind:

"Would you like to eat some yourself, my other self?"

Although she initially mistook him for a demon, after drifting in the Sea of Quantum for more than half a year, Seele realized that he meant her no harm.

Therefore, Seele also hopes that this other self, who has accompanied her on her long journey through the Sea of Quantum, can also enjoy this small happiness.

"Keep it for yourself, I'm not interested."

Feeling Seele's care, the Stigmata Consciousness was very pleased, but knowing what a hot meal meant to Seele every now and then, she had no intention of sharing half of it.

"But when you're hungry, enjoying a hot meal really makes you feel happy..."

Having long been accustomed to the insincere words of the Stigmata Consciousness, Seele tried to persuade the other party, but was still flatly rejected—

"Not interested."

"..."

Rejected again, Seele lowered her eyes and stopped talking, silently eating.

Sensing Seele's somewhat downcast mood, the Stigmata Consciousness couldn't help but worry whether it had made Seele unhappy during the meal.

However, the words had already been spoken, and the Stigmata Consciousness, which always acted very assertively in front of Seele, couldn't speak up and could only watch silently.

After finishing a bowl of rice, looking at the half-eaten dinner on the table, Seele rubbed her stomach and sighed with some distress:

"Hmm... Gwen brought me too much dinner today, I can't eat anymore."

However, it's not good to let it cool down like this...

"My other self, could you eat this for me?"

"..."

It was clear that Seele was only feeling a little full and far from being unable to eat Stigmata Consciousness remained silent for a moment, feeling both helpless and somewhat touched by Seele's little trick to make him want to eat.

However, although she saw through Seele's little scheme, how could she bear to refuse Seele a third time after already refusing her twice?

Helplessly, she took over the body and muttered in Seele's familiar, disingenuous tone:

"I just can't do anything with you..."

Despite saying this, the way the Stigmata Consciousness controlling the body ate was quite serious—

After all, this was the first meal that Seele had treated her to.

Even the naive Seele would use such petty tricks to deceive herself... It's all Gwen's fault!

If it weren't for him, how could the innocent and obedient Seele have learned such tricks?

Secretly, I made a mental note of that guy who was appearing more and more frequently in Seele's mouth, but the Stigmata Consciousness, eating with its own mouth for the first time, did indeed feel a unique sense of happiness different from shared senses...

Meanwhile, in the Eigenworld, Gwen, unaware that he had once again been targeted by Black Seele, was preparing to get down to business—

Bringing Seele food was just a side thing; Gwen's important task for today was clearly not that.

Opening the Chat System and seeing Cocolia Rand online, Gwen reiterated his demands—

"As mentioned before, the special energy in my world is highly corrosive and contagious."

Although I have now converted all that energy in my body into another safe and harmless form, some residue will inevitably remain on my clothes and other clothing.

Therefore, I need a closed space to process any residual energy on my body.

This will help to minimize the negative impact of these energies on the world you live in.

Over the course of more than a month, besides spending his days developing feelings for Raiden Mei and comforting Seele in the Sea of Quantum, Gwen also continued his research on the Earth Marrow Ore he had previously acquired.

Although it took a while, Gwen did come up with a plan to absorb the energy from the Earth Marrow ore.

Moreover, the Earth Marrow ore, which possesses both warmth and weight, perfectly corresponds to the most powerful fire and earth elements within Gwen's Five Elements Energy.

Gwen sensed that if he could absorb a large amount of energy from the Earth Marrow Ore, his power would surge, leading to a leap in his overall strength.

However, before he can absorb large quantities of Earth Marrow Ore, Gwen first needs to help Cocolia resolve the survival crisis brought about by the Cold Wave.

Gwen wouldn't do something like stealing someone else's life-saving energy just to increase his own power, even if he didn't consider himself as righteous as Caslana.

It may seem that the gains are disproportionate to the efforts, but knowing that the Cold Wave crisis will be resolved with the arrival of the Stellaris Train in a few years, it is something worth planning.

Of course, considering the rumors he had heard in his previous life that some of the Star Cores in the Cocoon of the Cocoon of the End might have been tampered with, Gwen would still carefully deal with the Honkai Energy on his body before going there to avoid causing new trouble.

Cocolia, who had heard Gwen mention it several times, also gave an affirmative answer—

"Don't worry, I've prepared a secluded room where no one will disturb you, ensuring you have ample time to process the energy within you."

Chapter 145 Unexpected Nourish Soul with Soul

In the Great Guardian's private residence, Cocolia Rand, who had already been warned by Gwen, stood in the secret room that had been prepared, her expression somewhat solemn.

Having known Gwen for so long, Cocolia believed she understood him well and trusted that he wasn't someone who spoke carelessly.

The thing that Gwen was so meticulous about must not be so simple.

If it weren't for the fact that there was virtually no hope of breaking the deadlock without introducing new external forces, Belobog Cocolia have even considered simply giving up on inviting Gwen—

Although Cocolia did not fall into despair as she had in the original story after receiving this opportunity from beyond the heavens, she even raised her prestige to a new level after applying several new technologies she purchased.

However, as a well-educated and trained Great Guardian, Cocolia Rand was not misled by the apparent prosperity. Instead, she clearly realized that if the erosion of the Rift could not be effectively countered or even countered, then the fall of Belobog was only a matter of time.

Therefore, even though Gwen might bring new crises, Cocolia still chose to invite this self-proclaimed somewhat capable "Netizen," hoping to add strength to the counterattack.

Although the conflict between Belobog and the Rift is not a battle of individual bravery, but a war that requires the coordination of the entire Belobog.

However, given the presence of powerful enemies among the Fragmentum Monster, such as the Deep Frost Wanderer, the Outer Universe Ice, and the Outer Universe Flame, strong individual combat power is also indispensable.

For example, Serval's brother Gepard, as a powerful Pathstrider, can sometimes play a role that even surpasses that of a fully equipped squad.

Therefore, in preparation for a major battle against the Rift, Cocolia finally decided to try inviting Gwen, hoping to add some fighting power to her side.

As for the reward for inviting Gwen to help, Cocolia, who had seen Gwen's curiosity and desire for the Earth Marrow, was not worried.

Meanwhile, having confirmed that he had converted all the Honkai Energy in his body into the Five Elements Energy, Gwen prepared to begin his first time-travel experiment—

After using points to travel between worlds, what is the ratio of time passage between the two worlds?

When I return, will I reappear in the same spot? Or is the range selectable? Or is it random within a certain range?

Is it necessary to stay in the chosen time travel period, or can one return at any time?

Will one's power be suppressed after traveling to different worlds?

These are all questions that Gwen needs to verify one by one.

After all, if things go Honkai in the Honkai world, Gwen might need to seek refuge in Cocolia.

If he were to be seriously injured and then encounter something like energy suppression, it could very well cost Gwen his life.

Therefore, it is necessary to scout ahead first.

However, before officially transmigrating, Gwen still needed to organize some things—

He hid the watch on his wrist, which was essentially Yue Tian Summoner, in his bedroom—the Moon had a sophisticated positioning system, and Gwen, who had no intention of revealing to Otto that he could travel to other worlds/galaxies, could not take this suit of armor to Jarilo-VI.

Then there's the golden Crystal Flower that Gwen has been carrying with him for over a month—

Gwen's initial prediction seems to be correct. During the more than one month that he has carried the golden Crystal Flower with him, the light that was initially only flashed occasionally has now become almost permanent.

Even under the lights, this golden Crystal Flower, which was given to Eden, shines with dazzling brilliance, just like its owner, sparkling and beautiful, captivating all who see it.

In Gwen's eyes, the faint, rhythmic light within the golden Crystal Flower seemed to possess a life of its own.

Gwen, who always trusted his intuition and thought, "It's free anyway," also had a vague suspicion about this.

The shimmering light within this Crystal Flower... could it be a soul nurtured by its own "Nourish Soul with Soul" characteristic through this Crystal Flower?

Although the techniques in the neighboring film seem to only be linked by bloodline, Gwen is practicing the "Spirit Awakening Scripture" rather than the "Demon Awakening Scripture." What he has in his body is not internal energy but Honkai Energy and the Five Elements Energy. Moreover, he has solidified this characteristic as a development ability, so it is understandable that the effects are different.
