The Third Honkai Eruption of the Previous Era Begins (Continued)

"Hey, you've been doing pretty well lately."

After completing their mission, the two arrived at Mobius's laboratory, where they immediately heard Snakey's teasing remarks upon entering.

Bai Ge shrugged, picked up Griseo who was lying on the ground drawing, and helped her wipe the paint off her cheeks.

"What do you mean you've been quite impressive lately? I've always been this impressive, okay? Dr. Mobius, here, I brought you a souvenir today."

As he spoke, he took out a sealed storage box from the Imaginary Space, inside which were two huge, ivory-like materials.

Mobius's eyes lit up; she recognized it at a glance as the Emperor-Class Honkai Beast, Parvati's fangs.

"Hmm~ Not bad, not bad."

Although Snakey's current primary research target is Bai Ge, he is open to any high-level Honkai Beast that comes his way.

At the same time, Mobius glanced at Bai Ge and Elysia without leaving a trace, and was quite amazed.

It's important to know that Emperor-Class Honkai Beast are synonymous with disaster. Once Moth Chasing Fire is discovered, a large number of troops will be deployed to launch a saturation attack, and they will even be prepared to sacrifice a large number of soldiers.

But this Emperor-class Parvati was so easily dealt with by this couple, and not only were they not injured, Bai Ge and Elysia didn't seem to have even used up much energy.

"This is a monster couple..."

But Mobius thought about it and agreed.

If Bai Ge didn't possess sufficient strength, he wouldn't have been so assertive towards the higher-ups of the Moth Chasing Fire a few days ago. After all, true confidence must be built upon absolute strength.

The extraordinary strength of these two, capable of taking on a thousand men single-handedly, meant that even those in power with ulterior motives dared not act rashly.

But there is no doubt that Bai Ge has now gone from being a coveted prize fought over by various forces to becoming an object of rejection, just like himself.

Even more serious...

He's already being seen as a threat by those above him!

Thinking of this, Mobius also became worried. Although the Snakey's mouth was hard and venomous, its heart was actually warmer than anyone else's.

"Hmph! For the sake of Vill-V, you've offended the entire leadership of the Moth Chasing Fire. Only you, Bai Ge, would do something like this."

"Haha, it's alright, it's nothing to mention."

"... I wasn't praising you!"

Mobius's eye twitched twice.

After Vill-V escaped from prison, the furious leaders of the Moth Chasing Fire immediately issued Bai Ge a mandatory mission, ordering him to bring Vill-V back under his utmost responsibility.

After all, only Bai Ge and Elysia have successfully captured this cunning, bold, and capable Vill-V.

Even if others find her, they will be completely fooled by Vill-V's mechanical creations and magic tricks.

Although Vill-V has issued a statement saying that she had misunderstood before and now knows that the Honkai was not caused by the Moth Chasing Fire, she will no longer be an enemy of the Moth Chasing Fire, and will even fight against the Honkai in her own way.

However, how could those in high positions, who value face and interests above all else, possibly accept this?

It should be noted that in the past, when Vill-V invaded the headquarters of the Moth Chasing Fire, she obtained confidential information, including not only Honkai, but also some of their dirty secrets, scandals, bribery records, etc.

Many people were anxiously hoping for her to die soon.

The higher-ups said, "It's not so bad that you know about the Honkai; joining us isn't a way to keep you alive. But now that you know about our stain, we really have no choice but to send you to your death!"

However, Bai Ge directly refused the task.

He even stated that he had become a good friend (and a major sponsor) of Vill-V, and therefore hoped that Moth Chasing Fire would withdraw the bounty on her wanted by the authorities.

The higher-ups, of course, could not agree to this, and they immediately handed the task over to Elysia.

Disillusioned with life, Xin Zhong wrote the epitaph of the vulture's heir.

It would be strange if Elysia agreed.

"No way~ How could Pink Fairy Lady possibly go against Bai Ge's wishes? Since she's Bai Ge's friend, she's naturally my friend too, and I also hope to have the warrant lifted."

The higher-ups. "..."

From the moment the two refused the order, Bai Ge and Elysia were already viewed with hostility by these high-ranking officials who were used to this, and they even sent people to coerce and entice them.

Promises of money, promises of status.

They were also threatened that if the task wasn't completed, they would be dismissed from their current positions; however...

Bai Ge / Aili: "That's it? Whatever~"

The higher-ups. "..."

Bai Ge and Elysia have high material desires, but at the same time, they are also low in material desires, because what they like is not money, but good food, beautiful scenery, and anything beautiful.

As for status and power, they didn't care about them at all.

Rather than being a high-ranking ruler, Bai Ge and Elysia prefer to be travelers.

Finally, Bai Ge, unable to bear it any longer, sent the people sent by the higher-ups back. He even threatened them, saying that if they continued to pursue the matter, he would have Vill-V publish those scandals, giving them leverage against their political enemies.

"You really infuriated those old bastards back then," Mobius said with amusement. "But weren't you a little too angry? Did they cross your line?"

"Mobius, no one in this world can hurt anyone I want to protect!" Bai Ge said resolutely.

"... You and Vill-V have developed such a relationship in such a short time?" Snakey frowned slightly.

"Don't be jealous, Mobius. Don't worry, you're someone I'll protect too."

Bai Ge said earnestly that although this Snakey was always stubborn and always gave him sedative coffee and sedative instant noodles, the two of them had a high degree of affection for each other.

Moreover, Bai knew that although Mobius herself did not say it, she was trying her best to protect herself and Elysia when she was in meetings with the higher-ups.

"... Hmph~ Jealous? Who's jealous! I don't need your protection at all, and do you know that those higher-ups really see you as a thorn in their side now!"

"Well, it's because Aili and I are popular."

Bai Ge raised his chin with a hint of smugness.

"But to those neurotic bastards, this is a sign that you want to seize power from them!"

Mobius rubbed his forehead, furious.

Something unexpected happened at that time, because Bai Ge and Elysia were so popular.

After learning that the higher-ups were planning to harm the two women, almost everyone in the base pleaded for their lives.

It wasn't just members of this base; people from other bases also spoke up for them.

After all, these two were heroes who defeated the Second Herrscher.

In addition, they always deal with those high-risk Honkai Beast of Emperor-class and above, and their number of sorties is far ahead of others. Countless grassroots members and front-line soldiers in the Moth Chasing Fire worship Bai Ge and Elysia as idols.

In addition, their friendly, gentle, and helpful nature makes Bai Ge and Elysia feel good about each other.

Although the higher-ups had no choice but to give up due to the circumstances at the time, such a phenomenon clearly crossed their bottom line.

If a powerful warrior with too much prestige cannot be collared, his status may be overthrown in the future.

"Bai Ge, you're being too impulsive. No matter how much of a scoundrel those higher-ups are, at least for now, the Moth Chasing Fire is indeed under their control. If they're determined to deal with you, then..."

"Then I will retaliate."

Bai Ge's eyes sharpened, and the slight aura of a five-core Herrscher, no, a six-core Herrscher, that he released in an instant made Mobius's worries vanish in an instant.

He was never afraid of the higher-ups of the Moth Chasing Fire. In fact, he only joined the Moth Chasing Fire to facilitate the fight against the Honkai and to make contact with the future Flame-Chasers.

"Dr. Mobius, you don't need to worry. Aili and I are the strongest right now. Even if those higher-ups send people over, they'll just be easy prey."

Bai Ge clenched his fist. While absolute violence couldn't solve everything, it could at least deal with the person who caused the problem.

Moreover... if we're talking about power, Bai Ge's power is growing rapidly.

Since gaining his support, Vill-V's "Spiral Workshop" has now moved to a small island in the Pacific Ocean and received an epic boost.

Nearly a thousand mechs have been completed and are currently stored in underground hangars, ready to be activated at any time.

Moreover, all Vill-V needs to do is unleash her inspiration and create Unit-01.

Afterwards, Bai Ge will use the power of the Herrscher of Reason to analyze it completely, and then directly mass-produce it.

The two of them working together made no difference even if they were cheating. In just one month, a powerful force was gradually taking shape in a place unknown to the Moth Chasing Fire.

Moreover, with Bai Ge's current Honkai Energy, he can construct thousands of mechs every month, and one of the mechs designed and modified by Vill-V is enough to deal with the pinnacle of lower-level Honkai Beast — the Honkai Emperor!

Requesting flowers?

Therefore, their combat strength is growing much faster than that of the Moth Chasing Fire, and it won't be long before the Spiral Workshop surpasses the Moth Chasing Fire.

Moreover, Bai Ge could practically be considered the male owner of the Spiral Workshop now! After enjoying the unlimited resource cheat, Vill-V declared that she couldn't live without Bai Ge anymore!

"Everything is under control, and I would even welcome it if they really wanted to turn against us."

"... Wait, are you doing this on purpose?"

Mobius suddenly realized something, her eyes widening in surprise. After hearing what Bai had just said, a flash of inspiration struck her.

Realizing that although this guy was usually very 'open and aboveboard', this time he seemed to have gone too far, and now that he thought about it again, he realized that... Bai Ge seemed to be deliberately provoking the higher-ups!

"Hehe, Doctor, you are indeed clever."

Bai Ge applauded Mobius.

He was clearly deliberately trying to provoke these high-ranking officials.

After all, only if these people make a big move can he find their weaknesses and have a chance to capture their true forms hidden behind the virtual projection in the future, and also...
