Seele in the Sky / Herrscher of Sentience: You Deserve to Die!

With a slight adjustment of his posture, Gwen swung the Xuanyuan Sword, which had been charged to its limit, and unleashed a slash burning with a dark blue flame. The slash swelled in the wind and instantly crossed the not-so-distant distance between them, colliding with the giant whale.

Even this "sword energy," which seemed thin and insignificant compared to the giant whale, caused the whale's descent to halt, and its surging aura to freeze.

Seeing this, Gwen's eyes flashed with surprise. He swung his sword upwards, turning all the remaining energy on the blade into a second sword aura, which he then slashed at the giant whale.

After wielding his sword a second time, Gwen's aura visibly diminished.

However, Gwen couldn't care less about that at the moment. He could only accelerate the absorption of the surrounding quantum energy while keeping a close eye on the battle above.

But then the second sword energy landed in front of the giant whale, merging with the first sword energy to form a crooked cross slash, completely blocking the giant whale's fall. Even on the whale's uneven body, flames could be faintly seen.

Under Gwen gaze, the crooked cross of flames slowly but actually rapidly expanded and enlarged, spreading towards the massive body of the whale.

Seemingly sensing something amiss, the not-so-intelligent giant whale's energy surged once more, attempting to break free from the fiery cross in front of it.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

As the energy on the giant whale surged, the speed at which the fiery cross extended also suddenly accelerated, enveloping the entire whale in the blink of an eye.

Even though the tip was so thin it was almost invisible, the giant whale had already fallen into the embrace of the fiery threads.

Then, to the astonishment of both Gwen and Seele, the fiery cross quietly began to move, transforming in the blink of an eye into a shape that Gwen found very familiar—

"That's... a Tai Chi symbol?"

Looking at the familiar pattern that enveloped the giant whale's body and clashed with the surging energy within it, Gwen couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment—

I didn't see this scene when we were dealing with those Honkai Beast before.

However, despite his surprise, Gwen began searching through his Remembrance, trying to figure out what to do next.

"After unleashing the Tai Chi Bagua formation with a finishing move, it seems that a unique sealing technique is required to complete the kill..."

Gwen expression couldn't help but become somewhat strange—

Although he was able to mimic the ultimate move based on the information transmitted by the Light Shadow Stone, he truly didn't know any sealing techniques...

How about... we try the Immortal's Cunxin Fist Style?

Let's see if the Fire-attribute guided Inch Punch: Heaven Opening can replace the Flame Fist.

Just as Gwen was getting restless, a clear, unfamiliar female voice suddenly rang in Gwen mind—

"Be careful, the energy above is extremely unstable and an explosion is very likely..."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Gwen didn't even have time to wonder where the voice came from. He subconsciously looked up and, without even using his mental power to investigate, he saw with his naked eye the intense light flashing violently within the giant whale's massive body.

"Depend on!"

Gwen cursed inwardly and didn't try to finish the kill again.

Although he was indeed very curious about everything here, Gwen did not forget why he had come here in the first place.

Gwen scooped up Seele, who was staring blankly at him, and his Moon Armor suddenly unleashed Gamma Particle Stream, propelling Gwen rapidly into the distance.

At the same time, considering that Seele is, after all, only human, Gwen did not forget to set up a barrier to prevent Seele from being injured by high-speed maneuvers.

However, before Gwen could take Seele away from the area, a sudden burst of intense light blinded Gwen, who was using the Moon Observation Module.

The sudden surge of immense force coming from behind clearly told Gwen the power of the opponent's self-destruction.

Click—

Because of the all-out attack just now, Gwen is not in good condition, and the barrier around him shattered under that terrifying force.

Fortunately, the moment the bright light obscured his vision, Gwen had already pulled Seele, whom he was holding around his waist, into his arms and used his own body to shield Seele from the impending impact.

After all, Gwen's physical abilities are superior to Seele's, and he is protected by armor, so he won't have much of a problem, but Seele's body is much more fragile.

Under that terrifying force, Gwen's body, which had been curled up to protect Seele, was swept away like a splash of water in a tsunami, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

After an unknown period of time, this "sea" gradually returned to calm.

The colossal creature that blotted out the sky has vanished, leaving only scattered remnants that testify to its existence.

In this "sea" that had just been ravaged by a disaster resembling a tsunami, but now seemed to have only rippled a little, another slender and graceful figure quietly appeared.

"Oh dear, it seems that my unintentional act back then has produced an unexpected result..."

With a gentle blink of her captivating red eyes, the gray-haired woman surveyed the world around her, talking to herself in a playful and adorable tone, like a young girl.

Suddenly, the gray-haired woman narrowed her eyes, her gaze falling on the irregular crystal that was stuck to a piece of debris—

"Huh?"

With a soft exclamation, the gray-haired, red-eyed woman strode over, bent down, and picked up the unprecedented crystal, her eyes gleaming with a strange light.

Meanwhile, Gwen had no time to concern himself with whether any remnants remained after the great whale's self-destruction—

At this moment, Gwen was like a shooting star falling from the sky, crashing into the darkness of the night.

Shaking his slightly dizzy head, Gwen quickly regained his senses and instinctively erected a barrier. Then, while adjusting his own condition and slowing his descent, he inquired about Seele's condition via private chat.

"Seele, Seele!"

How are you now?

Since the situation is still rapidly deteriorating, prematurely relaxing the protection on Seele could very well lead to Seele death.

As if waiting for Gwen's message, Seele responded to Gwen almost immediately—

"Brother Gwen, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Chapter 163 Seele in the Sky

"Seele, hang in there a little longer, I'll get back into shape soon."

While struggling against the force of descent and steadily reducing his descent acceleration, Gwen gave Seele some instructions.

Although Gwen couldn't be sure of the extent to which Black Seele could control her body at this point in time, since Seele was still able to communicate with him consciously, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Brother Gwen, don't worry, I'm well protected by you and haven't been hurt at all."

Worried that Gwen was pushing himself too hard, Seele quickly spoke up, not wanting Gwen to suffer any more harm.

After all, it was because of her that Gwen ended up in his current situation, and the kind-hearted Seele did not want Gwen to suffer any more because of her.

"Don't worry, Seele, I'm not that fragile."

Receiving care and gratitude from those he had helped greatly lifted Gwen's spirits, and even the flow of energy within his body seemed to become smoother.

Although the attack had almost completely depleted Gwen's energy pool, the Five Elements Energy that had long been rooted in his body was inexhaustible. As long as Gwen's body was not completely destroyed, this power would be inexhaustible.

Although only a short period of time had passed, Gwen's body had not been greatly affected before, and in fact, due to the unusually docile energy of the Sea of Quantum, his condition was quite good.

In this situation, Gwen also quickly gained the power to avoid turning into a meteorite and crashing into the earth below—

Unlike the boundless Sea of Quantum, where it's easy to lose your way and get lost, Gwen and Seele are now in the night sky.

Below, the city's colorful neon lights are already faintly visible.

Gwen surmised that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he and Seele had likely been transported into an unknown World Bubble by that terrifying impact.

The good news is that you shouldn't have to worry about encountering those powerful monsters so easily here anymore.

The bad news is that this seems to be a world that has entered the modern era, and the two undocumented individuals may face some difficulties. Moreover, if Seele wants to officially return to her Eigenworld, she will need to consider how to leave this place and return to the Sea of Quantum.

Fortunately, Gwen and Seele both possessed considerable power, allowing them to settle down relatively smoothly afterward.

Moreover, the Schicksal behind Gwen possesses experience and data on entering and leaving the World Bubble, so taking Seele away in the future will not be difficult for Gwen, as long as Gwen can obtain this information...

Of course, these questions only briefly crossed Gwen 'Gwen mind before he put them out of his thoughts.

For Gwen now, these are all things for later.

In comparison, even the voice that had previously appeared in my mind was more noteworthy—

Gwen was certain that he had never heard this voice before, and there was no one else around except himself and Seele, so there shouldn't have been a third person's voice.

However, Gwen was certain that someone had indeed warned him at the time...

While pondering the possible source of the sound, Gwen did not stop what he was doing.

Thanks to Gwen's efforts, the acceleration of Gwen and Seele's descent has turned negative, and their descent speed is steadily slowing down.

As energy flows through his body and he absorbs Honkai Energy from the environment, Gwen now has the capacity to build an even stronger barrier, allowing Seele to break Gwen from the direct protection he provides with his body and armor.

As the descent slowed steadily, Seele's panic from falling from such a height lessened considerably. Her ocean-blue eyes gazed curiously at the still-dim lights of countless homes below...

Then he quickly looked away and stopped looking.

Perhaps Seele herself wasn't actually that afraid of heights, but after a series of unexpected encounters, Seele emotions were in turmoil. It would be unreasonable to expect the little girl to be completely fearless.

After noticing Seele's subtle actions, Gwen chuckled and comforted her:

"Seele, don't worry, I'm here, we'll land safely—"

Trust me, this suit of armor is safer than any airplane in the world.

Moreover, instead of looking at your feet, why not look up?

After all, we're up in the sky right now...

Hearing Gwen's words, Seele's pale face flushed slightly as she realized that Gwen had seen what she had just been afraid of, but she still obediently looked up.

"..."

Although she was still far from the stars, the night sky seemed clearer to Seele than when she looked up from the orphanage, as if the stars themselves had come closer.

Furthermore, Gwen's barrier blocked even the wind during the fall, making it difficult for Seele to truly feel the sensation of plummeting from a great height unless she thought about it or looked at it. For a moment, Seele was so captivated by the sight that she murmured to herself:

"It's so beautiful..."

"So, while it's important to be grounded, we shouldn't forget to look to the stars."

Hearing Seele's murmur, Gwen chuckled softly and gently echoed her, bringing Seele back to her senses. She was no longer shy and had even relaxed quite a bit, actively changing her position to make herself more comfortable sitting on Gwen's arm.

The cool moonlight shone on Seele's slightly flushed, pretty face, adding a Seele quality to her already somewhat otherworldly air, as she had been adrift in the Sea of Quantum for a long time.

However, Seele, who looked like a fairy under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, answered in a very low voice:

"Yes, thank you, Brother Gwen, for giving me such a rare opportunity."

"You're welcome, I'm glad you like it..."

Gwen chuckled softly, withdrawing his gaze from the starry sky, and looked at Seele's happy and innocent smile. Suddenly, a thought struck him.

Gwen glanced at the data displayed inside the armor and suddenly spoke:

"Seele, would you like to try catching a cloud in the sky?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Seele instantly averted her gaze from the night sky and turned to look at Gwen, her small face showing a mixture of hesitation and barely concealed excitement.

"Is... this okay?"

"If our little Seele wants to, of course she can..."

Gwen chuckled softly and silently removed the outer barrier.

"Hmm..."

In an instant, a sudden gust of wind whipped Seele's hair wildly, some of it even flying into her mouth, catching Seele off guard and giving her the illusion that she was about to be blown away.

However, the force that held her firmly in place quickly dispelled the fear that had risen in her heart again, allowing Seele to show a hopeful look and tentatively reach out her little hand to the clouds in front of her...

Chapter 164 Black Seele: You deserve to die!

In the brightly lit city, in a small alleyway where only the streetlights on the main road provide a meager glimpse of light, two figures who should not exist in this world quietly descended upon this place.

"Alright, Seele, we've landed."

Gwyn, who had been playing with Seele in mid-air for quite a while before finally landing, spoke Gwen, bending slightly to lower his arm so Seele, who was half-sitting on his arm, could get down.

"Um!"
