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

"Kiana, imagine the difficulty of fighting with someone while wielding a telephone pole that you can barely lift, and only scratching their clothes without hurting them."

Amid the girls' worried gazes, Gwyn suddenly smiled and said something that made Kiana's eyes widen.

Looking at Kiana's cute expression as if she wanted to swallow him up, Gwyn's smile became even wider.

However, when he noticed the low pressure coming from Mei on the other side, Gwen immediately put away his smile and spoke seriously.

"If anything, it's probably severe hunger—

It seems that Apollo's core was damaged. After I synchronized with it, I could feel a sense of emptiness coming from deep within my body.

Even if I provide energy all the time, it only alleviates the hunger but cannot eliminate it. The final reflection is the incomparable desire to use food to fill my hunger. "

This is not Gwyn's nonsense, but Gwyn's speculation about the situation without the Cascade light source -

Even with this energy source constantly providing him with energy, Gwyn could still feel his appetite increase greatly. It is conceivable what would happen if he didn't have it.

"Hunger?"

Kiana, who had experienced hunger and knew what it felt like, instantly put away her dissatisfaction with being teased and looked at Gwyn with some worry.

"But I see you didn't eat much this morning..."

"That's right..."

This time, even Mei was no longer silent and looked at Gwyn with a frown.

"Furthermore, if you maintain this state, your combat effectiveness will probably be affected to a certain extent, right?"

"Because I'm not really hungry, it's just a reflection of lack of energy—

If I were to supplement it with regular food, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to eat until my stomach bursts."

In the face of the girls' worries, Gwen just smiled casually.

"Compared to eating, directly replenishing energy is the right way—

Anyway, with my Honkai energy resistance, I can drink ordinary Honkai energy potions like water without any problem.

As for the impact on combat effectiveness that you're worried about, Mei, it's not a big problem—"

Turning his gaze to the frowning purple-haired girl, Gwen explained with a smile.

"After the fusion, my strength has made a huge leap. Even if it has been weakened, it is only weakened on the basis of the enhancement.

In the game, the blue bar is probably converted into attack power.

As for not eating much for breakfast——

If I can't even resist this little impulse, then isn't my A-rank a bit too weak? "

Moreover, even with the Cascade Light Source in his body, Gwyn's mana bar did not actually become shorter, but he was just wearing a BUFF that constantly consumed mana and restored mana at a high speed.

It can even be said that it is precisely because the two have reached a certain balance that Gwyn can now chat and laugh with the two girls.

Otherwise, Gwyn would have been blown into a Gwyn sauce yesterday, and might have had to squeeze together with Eden and Alicia.

This could also be considered one of the reasons why Gwyn did not choose the Ultimate Lifeform or the Mecha God as his next ability to develop.

God knows if you will explode and die or be drained the next moment after you choose.

After hearing Gwen's explanation, the two girls' worries were mostly dispelled, but the worry on their pretty faces had not completely disappeared.

In response, Gwen could only continue to comfort him:

"Okay, don't worry about me.

After all, Destiny is the most powerful organization on this planet. At least it can alleviate my problems...

At worst, I can apply to use the Plague Gem to see if it can replace part of the original energy core's function."

“Disease gem?

Doesn't that mean you, Gwyn, will become a Herrscher in the future?"

Hearing this, Mei, who already knew about the four gems, couldn't help but frown.

Although there was no abnormal reaction after she merged with the Conquest Gem, that was largely because the Conquest Gem was not activated.

And if Gwyn wants to fuse the Plague Gem, he must make it effective. In that case...

Thinking of that scene, Mei couldn't help but pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on Gwen, and her pretty face was once again filled with worry.

"Ha ha……

Don't worry, Meiyi..."

In response, Gwyn just smiled, looking confident.

"As far as I know, at least in our era, becoming a Herrscher doesn't mean becoming a demon that mechanically destroys everything—

Walter Joyce, the First Herrscher, never took the initiative to do anything to destroy humanity until his death.

His successors are also constantly sacrificing their lives to protect human civilization.

As for the Second Herrscher, Sirin, who triggered the Second Collapse...

As far as I know, she initially just wanted to fight against the injustice she suffered, but due to a series of coincidences, she still went on the road to destruction...

In short, in this era, becoming a Herrscher does not mean losing yourself and becoming a puppet of Honkai.

As for me……

Do you think that I, who just killed a Herrscher in that illusion yesterday, would be unable to defeat the Herrscher's consciousness and be taken over by it?"

Although he was talking about one of the biggest crises in the world, Gwen's relaxed tone did not make the girls feel much sense of crisis. Instead, they unexpectedly felt a sense of identification with Gwen's words.

265

Chapter 265 Mei: It’s not that he doesn’t value me.

While saying this, Gwen's gaze swept over Kiana intentionally or unintentionally, trying to capture the golden light in those blue eyes.

However, until Gwen finished speaking, there was no strange look in Kiana's eyes, which made Gwen disappointed and relieved at the same time.

After Gwyn brought up what happened in yesterday's illusion as an example, the two people who witnessed with their own eyes that Gwyn seemed to be punishing God and completely destroyed the Scarlet Prison Pill also gained a little more confidence.

However, because of this, Kiana couldn't help but say in surprise:

"Gwen, you mean...

Was Feiyuwan from yesterday's illusion also a Herrscher?"

Although the ability is very strange, is this all the Herrscher can do?

It's almost the end of the world, right?

"Don't underestimate that guy—

The opponent was probably in a semi-sealed state at the time, unable to use his most threatening ability, and could only play with us in the illusion."

Looking at Kiana's expression, Gwyn could probably guess what this girl was thinking and said seriously.

"Even so, the other party is not someone who can be easily dealt with—

If I hadn't violently broken the deadlock, I'm afraid we would have stayed in the illusion until our bodies died, completely losing hope of victory and becoming their slaves."

"Oh……"

Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately put away the contempt in her heart.

"Kiana, Gwen is right."

After briefly recalling her experience in the illusion, Mei said seriously.

"Even if Scarlet Prison Pill is weak, that's only relative to Gwyn.

To us, they are still a formidable enemy that we cannot handle without even showing up. They can simply use their assorted soldiers to defeat us."

"Yeah, I understand..."

Faced with the joint warning from Gwyn and Mei, Kiana nodded her head, indicating that she would be obedient.

"This isn't just for Feiyuwan—"

Seeing that Kiana had rarely entered the obedient mode, Gwen couldn't help but give her a few more instructions -

"Kiana, whether or not you will become a powerful Valkyrie in the future, I hope you can remember—

Complacency will lead to failure; pride will lead to regret!

Only by always keeping an apprentice's heart can you see things that should not be ignored and go further."

"Yeah, I remember."

Although she instinctively disliked this kind of preaching, it was rare for Gwyn to say such words so seriously, so Kiana did not resist and nodded to take note of it.

As for whether Kiana can do this...

If the plan goes well, Gwyn believes that Kiana will not have room for complacency.

"Well, it's getting late, we should go have lunch."

After rolling the report in his hand into a paper tube, Gwen held Mei's hand with his backhand, stood up and pulled the girl up.

"Kiana, considering what I've said, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"

"Let me make it clear first, you can't eat as much as you want."

Hearing this, Kiana did not refuse immediately, but looked at Gwen vigilantly, and subconsciously covered her pocket containing her bank card with her right hand.

"It's a word."

Gwyn laughed.

"Since you had such a hard time yesterday, I'll treat you to a meal."

After making sure that Gwyn would not cheat her wallet, Kiana jumped up with her hands on her hips, looking like "you've made a fortune."

"Then I'll have to take a closer look at the recipe..."

Gwen smiled and prepared to remove the barrier, but before that he added.

"By the way, don't tell anyone what I said to you today—

After all, even though it's just a joke for those of us involved, it's confidential no matter where it's kept."

"Yeah, I'll pretend I haven't heard any of this."

Hearing this, Kiana ran her finger across her lips, indicating that she would keep her mouth shut.

"Um?

You should remember some things, Kiana."

Gwen reminded with a smile.

"Oh, I see. I'm not a child anymore."

Seeing that Gwyn looked like he was lecturing a child, Kiana put her hands on her hips again and spoke angrily.

"I can only say that I was deeply impressed by some people not paying attention in class."

Gwen shook his head and sighed, then raised his hand that was clasped with Mei's.

"Like Mei, she would be able to tell the difference even if I didn't tell her."

"Mei, look, he's bullying me again!"

Seeing this, Kiana could only run to Mei's other side in a huff, grab her hand and shake it coquettishly.

"Ah……"

In response, Mei just smiled and silently kept Gwen's previous words in mind -

"So it's not because you're too concerned about Kiana, but because you trust me..."

After a big meal that made Kiana feel quite painful, Gwyn did not immediately arrange a training plan for the two of them, but let them have a good rest.

Although Gwyn did not intend to let the two of them spend two relaxing years in Saint Freya as originally planned, he was not prepared to not give them any rest time.

After taking a short break at noon to recover from the discomfort caused by frequently opening the gene lock, Ge Wen made an appointment with Fu Hua and spent half a day in the training room.

Thanks to his extraordinary physique now, the accumulated sequelae of opening the genetic lock do not have much impact on Gwyn.

And its effect was exactly realized on Gwen——
