Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

Even though Gwen had not studied in depth the theoretical works left by the ancient Chinese sages, he knew that in the ancients' theories, the Five Elements did not refer to the power of five simple attributes, but were the basis for explaining the world.

When the master of Feiyuwan took the initiative to destroy and brought the world to the brink of destruction, even though Gwyn had never conducted research in this area, the power of the five elements in his hands could still evolve on its own, connect with this world, and show all of this to Gwyn.

At this moment, in this dream constructed by Feiyukumaru, Gwyn, who is recognized by his fellow master Yaesu, unexpectedly gained the ability to "what I think the world is, is what it is".

In this case, even if Gwyn had not yet cultivated the divine charm, he could still force the sword god who could cut through anything to form—

In the sky, vast golden-red clouds were surging, and in the eye of the storm, an illusory divine sword slowly took shape, pointing directly at the source of the destruction of the world below.

"..."

Above the sky, Kevin silently watched all this. He hesitated for a moment, already understanding everything in his heart. He did not intervene directly, but instead passed some power to Gwyn.

"!"

He felt a surge of heat, and the illusory sword solidified instantly. Gwyn's eyes became fierce, and in the fierce and terrified eyes of Feiyuwan, he stabbed down with a sword that was powerful enough to tear the sky apart.

"Taixu——Sword God!"

As Gwen finished speaking, the huge divine sword gathered in the sky slowly fell down, but it seemed slow but was actually fast. When Gwen finished speaking, the tip of the sword had already landed on Feiyuwan's head.

Feiyuwan struggled frantically, trying to dodge and escape, but Yaezakura in his body was holding him tightly, unable to move at all——

"Asshole, hide quickly, or you'll die too!"

"Feiyuwan, let's see where you can run this time!"

Yaezakura was not moved at all by what Kiryumaru said, and was determined to keep Kiryumaru in place.

The hideous and terrifying blood mist had no power to resist the Sword God falling from the sky and completely evaporated, leaving Feiyuwan with only his eyes to watch the giant sword that covered the sky and the sun fall down.

"what--"

As the sword pierced his body, Feiyuwan let out a shrill howl. Layers of blood mist erupted from his body, evaporating and dissipating, ultimately dissipating into the Sword God's presence along with Yae Sakura's figure...

Chapter 222: Yaezakura's Thank You Gift and Sweet Dreams

When Gwyn regained his vision, the sky and the earth were covered in white. He could not see the ruins of the castle tower or a single person.

"This is……"

Looking at all this, Gwen couldn't help but feel puzzled -

The sword that Gwyn just struck was mixed with the power of the five elements that had begun to support that world. Theoretically, it was an attack from that world on Feiyuwan, breaking his immortality in the dream. Moreover, with the assistance of the black box in Gwyn's arms for positioning, it should have ended the opponent's life.

Moreover, even if it fails, there is still Kevin as a foreign aid.

Just as Gwyn was feeling doubtful, a breeze with a faint scent of cherry blossoms blew by, and a slightly illusory figure quietly gathered in front of Gwyn.

"cherry……"

Seeing the other person's appearance, Gwen subconsciously called out -

The person who came was Yaezakura, wearing a pure white kimono, with her cherry-colored hair neatly draped behind her, looking peaceful and beautiful.

"Um……"

Hearing Gwen calling her name, her body felt a little ethereal, but a faint white light emanated from her body. Yaezakura nodded slightly, as if she was about to ascend to heaven at the next moment, and a smile as warm as the spring breeze appeared on her pretty face.

"Thank you, Gwen...

Thank you for ending this..."

"Um……"

Hearing the affirmative words of Bai Ling Yae Sakura in front of him, Gwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a hint of apology on his face.

"I'm sorry, Sakura, I couldn't save you..."

Although Gwyn did not hesitate at all when the Sword God fell just now, he still felt guilty when he saw Yae Sakura in front of him, whose figure was illusory, emitting white light all over her body, and looked like she was about to disappear at any time.

"It doesn't matter……"

A slightly illusory hand gently held Gwen's hand, and Yaezakura's pretty face still had that gentle smile.

"For me, life has already ended in that heavy rain, and what remains after that is nothing more than a walking corpse named Yaezakura.

Five hundred years ago, Kallen was trapped in Yae Village because of my selfish desires...

And I myself have fallen into this endless nightmare of reincarnation.

Until today, when I met you, I finally felt liberated...

Thanks……"

As she spoke, the originally calm and composed Yaezakura became excited and gave Gwen a hug.

"Um...you're welcome."

Feeling the girl's affection from the faint fragrance, Gwyn said no more and accepted the gratitude.

"Um……"

Yaezakura pursed her hot lips, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she looked a little more lively. She took a half step back and put some distance between herself and Gwyn.

Noticing Gwyn's slightly strange gaze, Yae Sakura didn't dare to meet his gaze. She raised her hands, looked at her slightly illusory sleeves, and tried to calm her voice.

"As you can see, after Scarlet Prison Maru was killed, I, who was already connected to it, will soon dissipate—

Please don't worry about me. This is what I have been looking forward to for five hundred years, and now this long-cherished wish has finally come true..."

"Um……"

Looking at the relieved Yaezakura, Gwen opened his mouth, but after hesitating for a moment, he said nothing. He just nodded slightly and smiled.

"Have a sweet dream, Sakura."

Although his consciousness is still here, Gwyn has now gradually regained contact with his body.

Although there was still some sense of alienation, Gwen could also feel that a force that could not be underestimated seemed to have suddenly appeared in his body.

And if Gwyn's guess was correct, it should be Yae Sakura who chose to give the stigmata to himself.

In this situation……

Gwyn estimated that even if Yaezakura really disappeared, it would probably reappear in the stigmata before long.

Since that’s the case, Gwyn naturally wishes Yaezakura a good dream.

"Well, let me borrow your good words."

Hearing this, Yaezakura smiled and nodded, thinking that Gwyn had been convinced by her.

As the two were talking, Yaesakura's figure had quietly faded a little.

As if she had noticed the change in herself, Yaezakura didn't waste any time, quickly calmed down, and said slowly:

"Please forgive my selfishness. I have received such a great favor, but I cannot repay it with anything. I can only offer this insignificant gift to express my gratitude.

Although I am not very talented and well-educated and have not been able to truly develop this power, its help has been indispensable in allowing me to persist for these five hundred years.

I hope this power can truly shine in your hands."

"I already feel it. Thank you for the gift. I like it very much, Sakura."

Gwen nodded, confirming his guess, and said solemnly.

Although he guessed that they would meet again soon, since Yae Sakura wanted to have a good rest, Gwyn naturally would not break her wish.

"As long as you like it..."

After receiving Gwen's response, Yaezakura nodded, and her smile became even warmer.

"By the way, besides my original power, the Hiyukumaru you defeated was also in that gift—

Don't worry, I can feel that Feiyuwan has completely died under that sword, returned to the black box, and is undergoing some kind of transformation."

"Of course I believe Sakura."

Gwyn was naturally delighted with the high probability of getting a Divine Key, or the Ksitigarbha Soul that specialized in technology, but his mood did not fluctuate much. He still calmly looked at the cherry-haired woman in front of him whose figure was becoming more and more illusory.

"..."

Looking at Gwyn, whose expression was always calm, Yae Sakura felt an indescribable emotion flash through her heart.

In this pure white space, Gwyn just stared at Yae Sakura quietly without saying a word, as if he wanted to stay with her until the last moment.

As her figure became more and more illusory, Yae Sakura felt that her already light body was becoming even emptier, as if it would be blown away by the wind in the next moment. Even the memories that had supported her for five hundred years were slowly fading away, and in the end, only the person in front of her was left.

At the last moment, Yaezakura's consciousness gradually faded, leaving only a few unfinished words before her figure completely vanished...

"If only earlier..."

"..."

Feeling the increasingly powerful pulling force coming from his body, Gwen, who was a little curious about what Yaesakura wanted to say in the end, took a last look at this pure white world and closed his eyes.

The next moment, when Gwen opened his eyes again, what came into view was the familiar bright yellow halo.

"You're awake, Gwyn!"

A surprised voice sounded in his mind, bringing Gwen back to his senses instantly.

The first one to notice that Gwyn had awakened was Eden, who lived in the golden crystal flower.

It is not known whether it was the layers of protection that Gwyn prepared for Eden for safety reasons, or the kindness of the girl who gave her this gift, but Eden, with only a broken soul and memories, was not dragged into the illusion.

and……

Chapter 223 Troubles after waking up

"!"

After waking up, Gwen immediately checked his body's condition and unexpectedly discovered that the energy in his body had not stopped flowing because he was trapped in the illusion. Instead, it was still flowing continuously, even...

Is it even more efficient?

Gwen, somewhat unbelievably, subconsciously checked his body.

Of course, Gwen did not forget to respond to Eden—

"Well, there was a little accident. I'm sorry to have worried you, Eden..."

As he spoke, Gwyn slowly stopped the endless flow of power in his hands, but still maintained the blooming of the light source. He moved his body briefly to make sure that he did not have any problems with his spirit and body due to the illusion just now. Then he turned and walked towards Kiana and Mei, ready to check on the two of them... Oh, and there was also a raven.

Although the other party who appeared here may have some impure intentions, he also made an effort in the illusion. Gwyn would not just tie the belt and ignore the person and throw it away after use.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay..."

Noticing Gwen's physical examination, Eden, who had just relaxed, couldn't help but become nervous again.

"Gwen, there's something I need to tell you—

Because your soul was dormant before, the energy in your body seemed to be out of control, so I tried to help you maintain it for a while, and fortunately it went smoothly."

"Um?

Thank you, Eden."

Still wondering why his energy was still flowing normally despite being unconscious for a while, Gwen smiled and thanked him, then squatted down to check on Kiana and Mei who were leaning against each other shoulder to shoulder.

Although the plot does not seem to explicitly mention Eden's areas of expertise in combat, based on the effectiveness of the Elysian Mark, Gwyn was not surprised that Eden had this ability.

"Whoa!"

However, just as Gwen lowered his head to check on the condition of the two, Kiana, who had her eyes closed and was sleeping peacefully, suddenly opened her eyes, let out a somewhat frightened cry, and swung her hand to hit Gwen in the face.

Snapped!

Grabbing Kiana's restless little hand and pressing it forcefully against the wall behind her, Gwen growled—

"Wake up, Kiana!"

"..."

A look of confusion flashed across her clear blue eyes, and Kiana, whose memory was in a mess, looked at Gwyn blankly.
