"I survived! I survived! Hahaha, let me go! You promised—you said you'd let me go!"
"Sure, sure, I'll let you go. But... whether those guys will let you go is another matter."
Because the concentration of Honkai Energy was too high, a large number of low-level Honkai Beasts had already gathered nearby.
Bai Ge casually tossed the man into the pack of Honkai Beasts, and the next second, he was torn apart and devoured.
How could Bai Ge possibly let him keep living?
Which of the researchers at the Tower of Babylon did not have blood on their hands? Which of them had not caused dozens, or even hundreds, of innocent children to die on those cold operating tables?
Letting any one of them go would have been a sin.
"Alright, the trash has been cleaned up. Next, it's time to upgrade my own setup."
He raised his head and looked toward the sky.
The high-hanging moon suddenly made Bai Ge think of Kiana. After all, Kiana's name meant "Moonlight Goddess."
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen those two girls in months. I really miss them. Ahh, I really want to eat Mei's lunchboxes, sleep on Mei's lap, and pinch Kiana's little cheeks...
"Ahh, forget it, forget it. Pull yourself together. The real test is only beginning now. The plot has already been changed by me—who knows what kind of changes will happen next?"
His most urgent priority now was to increase his strength and head to the moon to obtain the remaining four Herrscher Cores.
Only by becoming a five-core Herrscher could he feel a little more secure.
But at the same time, Bai Ge warned himself inwardly.
"Don't get cocky. Absolutely don't get cocky! Be careful in everything. I have to be careful and make sure I don't screw this up!"
Second update. Please send flowers and comments~ No one's talking to me—I'm dying of loneliness.
Five-Core Herrscher Bai Ge, Four-Core Simulated Herrscher Bella (New Book, Please Support)
"Benares, let's go. To the moon."
"Roarrr—!"
Bai Ge did not choose to use the Herrscher of the Void's authority to teleport directly to the moon over such an immense distance.
After all, as a newly born Herrscher, he had just gone through a major battle and teleported so many children to different locations. Bai Ge's Honkai Energy was currently running somewhat low.
But as a Judgment-Class Honkai Beast, Benares could surpass even supersonic fighter jets with ordinary flight alone. Before long, she carried Bai Ge out of the atmosphere.
"...It's so beautiful."
Turning around to look at that azure-blue planet, Bai Ge could not help but sigh.
Unfortunately, he did not have a phone or anything on him right now. Otherwise, he definitely would have taken a picture as a memento.
"I heard there's a satellite-shaped God Key floating somewhere in outer space. What was it called again... Forget it. I can't dig the Herrscher Core out of it anyway. I'd better just ask the Honkai God for a new one."
The man and dragon soon arrived on the moon.
Although humanity could see the moon every night just by looking up, due to factors such as its orbital and rotational cycles and its angle of inclination, 82% of one side of the moon could never be directly observed from Earth.
Those unobservable regions were known as the lunar farside. (Who knows what those rabbits found on the far side of the moon back then...)
In truth, the lunar farside contained vast amounts of Honkai Energy, as well as a lunar base left behind by the Previous Civilization.
During the War of the End, the Previous Civilization had sealed part of the Herrscher of Finality's power within it.
"Finally found it."
After riding Benares around for a while, Bai Ge finally located his target.
He did not need a spacesuit. With the body of a Herrscher, he could move freely even in the environment of space.
Bai Ge curiously examined his surroundings, his eyes opened to a whole new world.
The Previous Civilization's technology was seriously impressive. While it was not particularly difficult for the Current Civilization to land on the moon either, they had already built a base of such immense scale here.
Bai Ge quickly found his target.
In a place resembling an altar, an orange-gold crystal floated in the air.
The instant Bai Ge's hand touched it, his consciousness entered a pure white space. Within that space, an equally white figure took on Bai Ge's appearance and sat upon a white throne.
Bai Ge knew that it was the Will of Honkai.
At that moment, the Honkai God pointed a finger at him.
"Guh! Don't give me so much all at once!"
His head felt like it was splitting apart. Too much information was being poured into his mind, and he could not process it all at once. Most of it consisted of memories concerning the Previous Civilization.
Dr. Mei of the Previous Civilization had directed the construction of this lunar base. Although they had not defeated the Herrscher of Finality with it, they had successfully sealed away part of her power.
Seeing that the apostle—Herrscher—he had chosen had come before him, the Honkai God naturally bestowed all this power upon Bai Ge without reservation.
"Tch, so this is Honkai's sealed power? Good. It all belongs to me now!"
Sensing four new authorities before him, Bai Ge swallowed them without hesitation.
A total of four Herrscher Cores!
Purple, green, black, and red Herrscher Cores entered Bai Ge's body.
God bestowed upon me a crown—the thunder of conquest. I drew all lightning as my bow and arrows, shattering all things.
God bestowed upon me authority—the storm of desire. I commanded endless gales and crossed a thousand miles in a moment.
God bestowed upon me a brocade robe—serene death. I bestowed the wine of annihilation, sweetly sending all into dreams.
God bestowed upon me a sharp sword—the flames of plague. Immortal fire coiled around me, burning mountains and boiling seas.
The Herrscher of Thunder Core, Herrscher of Wind Core, Herrscher of Death Core, and Herrscher of Flame Core—together with the original Herrscher of the Void Core, Bai Ge now had a full five Herrscher Cores within his body!
"Hahaha, so strong, way too strong! I'm invincible now!!" He clenched his fists in wild delight.
The unprecedented surge of power thrilled the young man, who had been an ordinary person not long ago.
With a raised hand, he could destroy heaven and earth. That beautiful blue planet now seemed to rest in his palm.
"Roarrr—!"
Benares also let out a celebratory dragon roar, seemingly delighted that her master had grown stronger.
Yet the loyal dragon was startled in the very next second. The young man who had just been standing with his hands on his hips, laughing up at the sky and believing himself invincible... suddenly slapped himself.
Smack!
Though no sound could be heard in space, Benares could tell that he had hit himself hard.
"Whew, that was close, that was close. I almost got full of myself. Can't be arrogant—especially not as a Herrscher. There are still plenty of monsters in this world who can kill me. I absolutely can't get cocky and throw my life away."
Bai Ge rubbed his face and reflected on himself.
For starters, there was that certain flat-chested immortal—ah, no, the Scarlet Kite Immortal.
Bai Ge knew very well that even with five Cores, he probably still could not defeat her... even if Fu Hua was severely weakened now.
Who among The Thirteen Flame-Chasers of the Previous Civilization could be simple? With a full fifty thousand years of accumulated experience, even a five-Core Herrscher would not be enough.
But!
Other than Fu Hua, Bai Ge truly was not afraid of anyone else.
As long as he did not get carried away and made full use of a Herrscher mage's long-range advantages, whether it was Siegfried, Cecilia, Theresa, or even Otto, he held an absolute advantage in raw strength.
"Forget it. Rather than think about all that, it'd be better not to fight them in the first place. What bad intentions could a Herrscher possibly have? I just want to live properly. Destroying the world? Even dogs wouldn't do that."
Honkai God: "..."
Having just obtained his power, Bai immediately resigned from the job, completely ignoring the Honkai will in his head urging him to destroy the world.
Still, becoming stronger felt wonderful. Bai Ge raised a hand and beckoned to Benares. She immediately obediently approached and lowered her head.
"It's time to turn you into a Simulated Herrscher too, Benares. Since I, your master, have become stronger, you, as my follower, need to become stronger as well."
"Roar!"
"Very good. This time, we'll definitely reach a happy ending. Not just Sirin—you too."
Bai Ge poured vast amounts of Honkai Energy into Benares's dragon body. Unlike the original story, where Sirin had formed four Simulated Cores to create four Simulated Herrschers, Bai Ge gave all the Simulated Cores to Benares.
A Simulated Herrscher of Flame Core, a Simulated Herrscher of Death Core, a Simulated Herrscher of Wind Core, and a Simulated Herrscher of Thunder Core.
As a four-Core Simulated Herrscher personally created by Bai Ge, a five-Core Herrscher, Benares's current strength was already nearly on par with that of a normal Herrscher.
Most importantly, during this process, it became she.
Benares had transformed from a beast into a human.
Using the authority of the Herrscher of Death, Bai Ge created a human body for Benares.
Beautiful long azure hair, sapphire-blue gemlike eyes, delicate and well-proportioned features, and a figure with golden proportions—Bai had excellent taste. Benares had now become an incredibly beautiful young woman.
And when the authority of a Simulated Herrscher merged with her own power as a Judgment-Class Honkai Beast within that body, a pair of blue-and-white dragon wings spread behind the young woman, while a dragon horn grew from the right side of her head. In short, these Honkai traits were also revealed.
