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

Threat!

Naked threats!

From Gwen's very familiar smile, Otto clearly understood what Gwen meant -

Usually this smile was always on his face, but now the smile shifted to Gwyn's face, and Otto finally tasted what it felt like to be threatened.

Once the Key of God is formed, Otto will need to be extremely careful whether he wants to secretly plan something or upload his memories to revive himself, and he will be at risk of network-level deus ex machina at any time.

However, despite being threatened by Gwyn, Otto stroked his chin and smiled——

"So, Gwen, your contributions are enough to be promoted to S-rank—

He eliminated the remnants of the Twelfth Ruler of the former civilization, the greatest threat to modern human society, and his achievements completely surpassed the requirements of S-rank."

"Bishop Otto, please take care of these matters."

Seeing that his threat worked, Gwyn no longer cared about this little matter.

“After all, I’m not interested in power.

Afterwards, remember to sort out the relics that may hold...Saint Kallen's feelings and give them to me, and leave the rest to me."

"No problem, I'll have someone send it to you later."

Otto smiled and nodded, and casually tried to keep Gwyn who was leaving for business.

"Aren't you going to leave until you finish eating?"

281

Chapter 281 It’s all Honkai’s fault.

"No."

Gwyn waved his hand, stood up and looked at Otto who was smiling across from him.

“Neither you nor I have the heart to have breakfast with each other right now.

In that case, let's not torture each other.

You go find what you need, put your plans on hold, and I'll go relax."

"Well, it seems that the me in the parallel world gave you a very bad impression."

Otto smiled and gave up trying to keep Gwyn.

After all, he really had no appetite at the moment and just wanted to think carefully about what he could use.

"That's not the point—"

Gwen turned and waved.

"The point is, you're a terrible person who's been nice to me, and I still remember the good..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gwen pushed the door and left the negotiation room that Otto had carefully prepared, leaving only the slight friction sound of Otto's door closing.

"You are... accidentally planting willows and getting shade?"

In the room, Xukong Wanzang, who was still maintaining the projection, rubbed his chin, looked at Otto with a complicated expression, and asked with a smile.

Although there was no spectacular bloodbath, Xukong Wanzang was still quite satisfied with today's drama.

As long as he could see Otto get humiliated, Xukong Wanzang would watch with great interest.

"Ah……

Was it an accidental discovery?

In response, Otto just chuckled, and the rare complicated expression on his face was replaced by a smile.

"How do you know I didn't do it by accident?"

"Speaking of which, how are you going to deal with that thing?"

Seeing Otto quickly return to normal, Xukong Wanzang felt bored and changed the subject directly.

"Do you want me to call up the program that Dr. Mei used when he surrounded the Herrscher?"

"Ah……"

Faced with Xukong Wanzang who rarely offered to help, Otto just sneered, which made Xukong Wanzang frown and feel like he was being mocked.

"Since you are willing to give it, then there is no reason for me to refuse it."

While responding to Void Manzang, Otto stood up and walked to the other side of the long table—

The pendant left by Gwyn is still there. In order to prevent the part belonging to another Kallen from affecting Kallen's resurrection, Otto needs to keep it well until the moment Gwyn comes to take it away.

As for Gwyn's threat?

Haha, childish trick.

Moreover, after Otto experienced the failure in his attempt to punish Siegfried for disobeying orders more than ten years ago, he also reflected on how to deal with people who were beyond his control.

Adding to what Gwyn just said...

"Ah……"

As he stepped across the boundary between the living room and the study, the corners of Otto's mouth curled up slightly.

"He's a good kid after all, there's so much he can handle...

Since you like it, I will treat you better, dear child..."

In silent soliloquy, Otto, for once, didn't let his mind wander to physical destruction when faced with someone beyond his control. Instead, he recalled the events of five hundred years ago, slashing his heart with the sharpest knife, searching for what he needed amidst the blood...

"cut……"

After watching Otto return to the study, Xukong Wanzang in the living room smacked his lips, and did not continue to pay attention to Otto. Instead, he put away the projection and thought about the significance of Ailishia's resurrection.

After all, Otto didn't know Alicia's hidden identity, but Xu Kong Wan Zang knew it—

"Ah……

The man who resurrected Alicia and Eden... things are getting interesting..."

Overturning all the originally anticipated possibilities, Xukong Wanzang began to deduce a new future and find a direction for himself.

Over the long period of time, Xukong Wanzang is no longer the simple artificial intelligence that was at the mercy of the pink fat woman. He has found a goal for himself, and now all he has to do is modify the goal.

On the other side, after leaving Otto's residence, the warm sunlight shining on his body made Gwyn feel a little more relaxed.

"call……"

Gwen let out a long breath, thought for a while, and instead of leaving immediately, he leaned against the wall, took out his communicator, and contacted his friends.

While Gwyn was looking for someone, Alicia, who had been silent before, finally came online again.

However, this time, there was a hint of uneasiness in Alicia's words—

"Gwen, you said before that you had resolved... the threat of the Herrscher. Is that true?"

Alicia, who had never heard Gwen talk about this before, asked cautiously, waiting for Gwen's answer with a bit of anticipation and uneasiness in her heart.

Although there are also some missing parts, Alicia, whose memory is far more complete than Eden's, remembers more clearly the voice, appearance and smile of the girl who died tragically because her sister chose to believe in her.

Now, suddenly hearing the news from the other party again, Alicia's heart inevitably felt a little disturbed.

"Well, although my words just now contained a certain element of strategic intimidation, I did indeed defeat the Herrscher of Corrosion."

Gwen's fingers nimbly tapped the keyboard and typed quickly. He answered Alicia's question with certainty, but was a little vague about the question about the divine key.

"As for the Key of God...

Still waiting..."

During the three days, while Gwyn was rapidly adapting to the surging power through the genetic lock, he also realized that the new stigmata on his back contained a power far more powerful than the stigmata themselves.

Among the stigmata given by Yaezakura, the only one that can give Gwyn this feeling is obviously the Key of Corrosion, Jizo Soul.

"Um……"

After receiving the reply, Alicia responded softly, her mood visibly down.

"Ellie..."

Listening to the girl's listless voice, Gwen sighed in his heart and changed to a nickname he had never used before.

"Ok?"

Alicia didn't care about this at all and just responded softly.

"What happened back then wasn't your fault, nor was it Aponya's fault, and the blame can't be placed entirely on those soldiers.

You are all victims in this matter.

If we really want to find out, the culprit... can only be Honkai."

Gwen slowed down his typing a little and whispered his views to the girl. At the same time, he used the power of his soul to try to give the guilty girl some warm comfort.

"Um……"

Hearing Gwyn's words, Alicia responded again in a low voice, and felt the warmth coming from all directions. After realizing that it was Gwyn's action, her heart warmed a little, and her voice regained some vitality.

"Thank you, Gwen~?"

The girl was a fairy in paradise who could bring laughter to everyone's face. Even if she felt sad, she would not let this sadness spread to others. She would only keep it in her heart and remember it forever...

"You're welcome……"

Gwen responded with a smile. Although he knew that this superficial comfort could not completely erase the guilt in the girl's heart, it was all he could do.

At most, we can continue to become stronger, and in the near future, completely defeat Honkai and put a final end to all the blood and tears.

Chapter 282 Changguang: Are you pretending to be dead?

First, he sent a message to Kiana and Mei, who were far away in the Far East, that everything was going well, to reassure the two frightened girls and their accomplices such as Theresa, and then Gwyn looked at his friend list.

Yulandel contacted Rita two days ago. She is currently dealing with a sudden collapse disaster somewhere in Southeast Asia and will not be back for a few days.

Anna hasn't replied yet, I'm afraid she has something to do.

In the end, the only one who responded to Gwyn was Changguang.

Changguang's answer also matched Gwen's impression of her occasional illness.

"Um?

"Are you a dead body?"

"...I'm not dead, why would I pretend to be dead?"

Although he knew that the woman opposite him was joking, Gwyn still couldn't help but complain.

"Hmm, you just disappeared without a word, and I've been worried for months. Can't you let me vent my frustration?"

Changguang is also full of flowers and shows a flexible moral bottom line.

"You mean you thought of me when no one brought you lunch at noon?"

Gwen teased Changguang and walked towards the Saint 1504 Research Institute.

Although there are still many things waiting for Gwen to do, he doesn't want to think about those things now. He just wants to find something relaxing, such as chatting with friends he can trust, to relax his mind and not always think about the possible implications of every sentence.

Although Changguang would occasionally say some mysterious words, it was enough for just casual chatting.

Gwen arrived at the research institute with ease. Having spent a long time here before, he went all the way to the director's office without anyone's guidance.

When he opened the door, Gwyn saw the red-haired beauty looking at him with a smile.

"Wow, you came pretty quickly..."

Changguang crossed her fingers and supported her pretty face, her smile containing a hint of teasing and the pride of having guessed the riddle correctly.

"I heard that Director Changguang was sick with longing, so I came over to see him..."

Gwen also smiled relaxedly, walked into the office, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"If you, the darling of the research department, really get sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to get new equipment in the future."

"That's right. After all, if you make me unable to get out of bed, the headquarters community will be bustling with activity. Then you will be surrounded by people wherever you go."
