After I V-brother Zheng 50

If you deserve to die, then die immediately.

Die completely.

In short, let's leave aside what hasn't happened yet... and perhaps never will.

At present...

"...Gresch's consciousness is very unstable right now."

Mebius looked at Qin Yu, and at the same time raised his hand to gently stroke the head of the blank-faced girl on the operating table, and said bitterly, "I am not the best in this field, and I don't even know if her original personality survived."

"But judging from the current situation, Gretchen is 'completely different' from before."

Hearing her say that...

"..."

At that moment, Blanca, a mother herself, was quietly sobbing beside her.

The others present remained silent.

Qin Yu didn't know what to say.

Sudden……

"!"

A small hand gently tugged at Blanca's sleeve.

The latter stared blankly at her daughter in front of her...

"mom!"

Greta looked blankly at her mother.

Her tone remained devoid of any emotion.

But she still said softly:

"Don't cry!"

Chapter Sixty-One: The Grand Plan for the Future

"Whoo~"

Qin Yu stood in the corridor and took a deep breath.

At this moment, she, along with Alicia, Mebius, Eden, and others, had temporarily left the room where Gretchen was staying.

Blanca was left alone to keep her daughter company.

After taking a deep breath and managing to calm his agitated emotions, Qin Yu looked at the people around him and asked directly, "What are your thoughts on little Gretchen's current situation?"

"Let's all share our thoughts and brainstorm together; perhaps we can find the key to breaking this deadlock."

She mentioned it briefly.

Upon hearing this…

"As I just said, I am not the best in the field of consciousness."

Möbius sighed helplessly, "In this regard, perhaps that woman... Aponia, and Kevin's old classmate—Sue, have more experience."

"After all, both she and he are psychic-sensory fusion warriors, and unlike Desdobia who awakened telekinesis, these two are more adept at true, mental-level interference."

"As for the rest..."

She looked directly at Qin Yu and said, "The Eighth Divine Key that you possess might also come in handy."

After listening to these opinions and suggestions...

"Well, I see."

Qin Yu nodded, then fell silent and began to think.

After a while...

"May I ask, what kind of personality did Gretsch have before?"

She seemed to have thought of something, and asked another question.

Regarding this...

"I know that?"

Alicia chimed in, "Little Gretchen used to be so cute... no, should I say she's always been cute?"

"When she was little, Gretchen would sometimes put on a serious, grown-up act..."

"Gresh loves to draw."

Mebius added, "Blanca is also very supportive of her dream."

"Oh, right."

Alicia clapped her hands. "I remember now, little Gretchen also liked to draw that kind of... uh, that kind of..."

"A scenario where a handsome prince or knight meets a princess?"

Qin Yu suddenly interrupted.

"Yes, yes, yes?"

Alicia's eyes lit up.

"Don't you know all this very well?"

Mebius glanced at Qin Yu.

And when we got here...

"alright, I got it."

Qin Yu first shrugged at Mebius, and then... well, she now knew some key information.

Then, he began to ponder it in his heart:

"In other words, Gretchen in the past was probably like the character in 'The Golden Garden'; she wasn't usually a pure 'emotionless' person."

"That……"

That would be a tricky situation.

Because, judging from the subsequent developments in the 'Paradise of the Past,' the memory left inside Gretchen, one of the 'Thirteen Heroes of the Flame Chaser,' did not return to her previous mental state.

In other words, even if Aponia and Sue were to intervene, they might be able to alleviate Gretsch's problems, but they wouldn't be able to perfectly resolve the related hidden dangers.

And so...

"Since no perfect solution can be found in the entire pre-civilization era, then I have no choice but to find another way from other worlds."

Thinking about this, Qin Yu had already made some plans.

For example, the gods of the Danma world.

If she remembered correctly, some of the gods in the heavens had the duty of 'cleansing souls'.

From this perspective...

"Ikeros, Thanatos."

Qin Yu's gaze narrowed slightly. "If I use the Golden Man to absorb these two evil gods directly... well, that would be perfect. I could also get the 'God's Grace System' along the way, adding another 'unit technology tree' to my Terracotta Army."

She knew that the gods in the DanMachi world were more or less different from the mythological figures in her home planet Earth.

For example, Loki, Hephaestus, and Prometheus... these three gods have all been 'moe'ed in the DanMachi world.

However, Hestia in the future lower realm will indeed possess the power of 'hearth and sacred fire'.

Moreover, Hephaestus, as a goddess, is also the goddess of forging and craftsmanship.

He was even 'husband and wife' in the heavens with Aphrodite, who was also a goddess.

This is...

"In mythology, Icelus, also known as Phobtholl, is the god of dreams."

"Thanatos, as explicitly mentioned within the world of DanMachi, is the god of death in the heavens who is in charge of the 'reincarnation' process."

Thus, Qin Yu had a clear goal.

"Heh, my luck seems to be pretty good!"

A slightly cold smile appeared on her face.

Because she remembered very clearly that these two evil gods not only killed without any psychological burden, but more importantly... the places where they usually hid were also very suitable for Qin Yu's 'own people' to carry out covert operations.

To put it simply: blind spots in surveillance.

【Man-made Labyrinth - Knossos】

This secret base, nestled against the underground city and slowly built by the Daedalus family over a thousand years, is the headquarters of the Dark Faction.

The latter group uses this facility to easily evade the defenses of the labyrinth city, moving freely between the underground city, the surface, and even outside Orario.

They even managed to fool Uranus, the ancient god who was able to know the inside of the dungeon and was like a 'master' of the lower realm of the DanMachi world.

"That place shouldn't be under surveillance."

"However, if we are to take formal action, we should make several preparations to be on the safe side."

"For example: a perfect opportunity that would keep any god too busy to attend to a 'third party'."

Qin Yu had also considered this point.

Currently, in the timeline of the DanMachi world, it is eight years after the day when Zeus and Hera's Familia failed to defeat the Black Dragon.

In other words, the "Seven Days of Death" protest event, originally scheduled to take place seven years before the main story, is about to occur.

Qin Yu remembered clearly that on the first day of the 'Seven Days of Death,' at night, the 'Dark Faction' carried out a shocking 'mass repatriation' operation.

That night, quite a few gods were forcibly repatriated to the heavens.

If we can take advantage of the chaos...

"Yes, the power of the gods, once fully unleashed, can easily destroy the entire 'lower realm'."

"Although the gods of the Danma world are not truly omnipotent, if my golden man could master this kind of 'pseudo-omniscience and omnipotence' power..."
