Elysia: Friend or Foe-Choose! (Continued)

"A full half hour! In that half hour, the Herrscher of Wind released hundreds of super tornadoes, destroying countless things."

"This..."

"We've been cleaning up the mess these past few days. Destruction is always easier than construction. If, if I, the Herrscher, had been born right before my eyes, none of these losses would have happened."

Bai Ge was indeed joyful and happy at the moment he defeated the Herrscher, but the joy disappeared when he began to work on the aftermath of the disaster caused by the Herrscher.

In just half an hour, hundreds of super tornadoes caused severe damage to dozens of cities.

Bai Ge recalled a string of numbers in his mind, which was the time when the Herrscher of Wind descended. At the same time, he also silently recited the appearance times of the Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of the Void, and the Herrscher of Thunder.

Make sure you haven't forgotten a single thing.

"Captain, you have done a great job. There is no one in this world who can do better than you."

"Others may not be able to do it better, but I can do it better. Next time, I will definitely do it more perfectly and not let anyone die." Bai Ge said earnestly and firmly, his hand unconsciously squeezing the wine glass slightly, creating a crack.

"... You set your expectations too high for yourself."

Hua felt that the person in front of him was dazzling.

Even though Bai Ge was sitting while she was standing, she felt as if she were looking up at Bai Ge.

(Perhaps, this is what a hero is...)

Hua sighed inwardly, while at the same time clenching her hands tightly in resentment.

Hua was saved by Bai Ge during the Third Honkai Eruption. She was a simple girl who lost everything in her past. More than seeking revenge against the Honkai, she wanted to follow Bai Ge and the figure that saved her that night.

However, she is still weak even now.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Hua, who is already capable of dealing with Temple-Class Honkai Beast on his own, can be considered a genius warrior.

However, compared to Kevin, who joined the Moth Chasing Fire at the same time, Hua felt that she was far inferior.

Not to mention following Bai Ge, the distance between the two is growing further and further apart. Even now, the White Youth is right in front of her, yet she feels as if she can never reach him.

But that's only to be expected.

The White Youth is humanity's strongest hero.

He was just an ordinary soldier.

The difference between him and me was like heaven and earth.

As for why there was such a difference, Hua was actually quite clear about it, but because of her respect and admiration for Bai Ge, she never voiced her thoughts.

But now, I see a boy criticizing himself because he feels he hasn't done well enough.

Hua felt very uncomfortable.

Perhaps it's too arrogant to say that, but she wants to share some of the burden with this person, and for that she needs to know the answer to the question.

"Captain, why won't you let me undergo the Hypermutation Surgery?"

"Um?"

"I have applied to Dr. Mobius many times, but I know that you have made her reject me every time."

Hua said, quite unwillingly.

By undergoing the Hypermutation Surgery and becoming Fusion Warrior, one can gain immense power. Even if that still doesn't allow one to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, at least one can see his back.

But Bai Ge rejected him time and time again.

"I've already given you the reasons for refusing several times: Moth Chasing Fire hasn't found a suitable Honkai Beast yet."

"I remember there were several that reached the fusion compatibility rate..."

"None of those are good enough. Don't put garbage into your precious body. Wait a little longer."

Bai Ge said calmly that he had already asked Vill-V to use satellites to investigate the whereabouts of Garuda Honkai Beast worldwide, but there was still no news.

Panic is very likely a symbiotic beast of a certain Herrscher.

Hua frowned slightly; she had been waiting for so long that the flowers had all withered.

"Captain, forgive my bluntness, but even trash is better than useless junk. Aren't there many warriors in the base who can't find suitable Honkai Beast and end up making do with second-rate Chariot-class or... Assault-class beasts?"

"Hua, you can't compromise. Chariot-class? Assault-class? Don't even think about those garbage options."

Bai Ge's tone became much harsher, instantly extinguishing Hua's momentum and leaving her stammering in response.

"But... I want to become stronger."

"..."

After a moment of surprise, Bai Ge raised his hand and patted Hua's head. Looking at the "naive" Immortal Crimson Crane in front of him, he was also filled with complicated feelings and did not know how to deal with him.

The current Hua is not Fu Hua from 50,000 years in the future. She is not the Immortal Crimson Crane who Shenzhou for 5,000 years. She is just a young girl who has only recently stepped into the Honkai battlefield.

To be honest, Bai Ge found Fu Hua quite novel. He was amazed to see this usually obedient, clumsy, honest, and hardworking Fu Hua, whose efforts yielded little result.

Bai Ge found it very interesting.

"Hua, you will become stronger. You will become incredibly strong in the future, stronger than you can imagine now. And I will prepare the best one for you, so... please wait a little longer, okay?"

"... Yes, I understand, I will wait."

Hua felt her heart skip a beat. Listening to Bai Ge's sincere and gentle words, it was as if he was saying that she was special, and she instantly became obedient and docile.

Bai Ge then downed a glass of red wine in one gulp, stood up and looked around. He hadn't seen his Pink Fairy Lady for half an hour and was starting to miss her.

However, Elysia did not see him.

Instead, I saw a familiar figure.

"Oh? I didn't expect him to be a newcomer too. Let's go say hello."

As Bai Ge spoke, he walked straight in the opposite direction from the newlyweds.

People around him turned to look at him with curiosity. As a super hero who had defeated three Herrscher, Bai Ge's every move was now being watched by many people.

These newcomers also learned about Bai Ge's deeds from the veterans, and they were thrilled to see this legendary figure walking towards them.

"Hey~ young man, we meet again."

"Y-you, hello... Captain Bai Ge."

"Haha~ You clearly have the courage to do something so amazing, yet you speak so cautiously. Be more confident, Kosma ~"

Bai Ge patted the shoulder of a dark green-haired boy and said in a very friendly manner that this future Flame-Chasers of the [Morning Light] inscription had also joined the Moth Chasing Fire.

"You... do you still remember my name?"

Kosma's tone rose considerably in surprise.

"Heh, how could I forget the name of the person who dared to jump into a tornado while carrying a bomb?"

Bai Ge said with a smile.

After defeating the Herrscher of Wind, the numerous tornadoes she created, though slowing down, could still persist for a period of time. As a result, Bai Ge and many Fusion Warrior traveled around trying to deal with those tornadoes.

He discovered Kosma in a city.

This boy, who was still just an ordinary person, actually wanted to stop the Herrscher's Remnant Wind. However, he mistakenly thought that something in the eye of the storm had caused the tornado, so he carried a bomb and jumped from the building into the tornado in an attempt to blow it up.

If Bai Ge hadn't saved him, Kosma would have been torn to shreds by the tornado by now.

(I didn't do anything remarkable. If it weren't for Captain Bai Ge, I would be dead by now. I never expected that this great hero would still remember my name. Should I say something to express how honored I am?)

"...Thanks."

Kosma wanted to slap himself right then and there; why was his mouth so clumsy?

When Bai Ge saved him and then casually wiped away the tornado, this future [Morning Light] Flame-Chasers had already come to admire him.

After joining the Moth Chasing Fire, Kosma learned from the veterans about Bai Ge's powerful, no, glorious, past achievements! He immediately became a little fanboy.

He faced god-like opponents three times and saved the world three times. His past role as a vigilante was incomparable. This was the kind of hero that Kosma admired!

(Calm down, calm down! I should at least express my gratitude. They saved my life... Oh no, I'm too nervous to speak. What should I do? Will Captain Bai Ge think I'm ungrateful?)

"..."

Kosma was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but his expressionless face and poor speech made him look like a cold and gloomy young man.

Those around him frowned in displeasure at his "rudeness" towards Bai Ge.

However, Bai Ge, who knew the truth about Kosma, didn't mind at all; on the contrary, she found it very funny and interesting.

"I'm afraid only Herrscher can read consciousness can communicate with you smoothly," Bai Ge sighed.

Unfortunately, he didn't possess the core of the Herrscher of Reason. Bai Ge certainly wouldn't try to seize the power of the Shishi from the Current Civilization, but the Herrscher of Reason from the Previous Civilization was a different story.

"Sorry..."

Kosma finally managed to utter three words after holding back for a long time.

"It's alright, it's alright. Oh, by the way, you newbies haven't formed teams yet, have you?"

"Uh, not yet."

"That's perfect. Kosma, are you interested in joining my team? I think you're a good fit."

"!!!" xN

Bai Ge extended an invitation to Kosma, which immediately surprised everyone around him. Everyone knew that although Bai's team was small, each member was a prominent figure.
