In their eyes, this sacred and beautiful power could never be related to the Herrscher of Destruction. They would never believe that it was a power of the same origin as the Herrscher of Death.

At the same time, Kevin sneakily raised his greatsword, trying to steal the kill, but the next second something amazing happened.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, please don't hurt me, Seele will never do it again, please, please let Seele go..."

The Herrscher of Death immediately knelt down, looking at everyone with teary eyes. Gone was the yandere and unruly person she had been before; she was now so gentle and weak that it even aroused people's protective instincts.

"Wh-what?"

"The Herrscher is actually begging for mercy?"

"Does she even have any humanity left?"

Kevin, Elysia, Sakura, and the others were almost speechless with shock, and even Dr. Mei in the command room was dumbfounded.

(Hmm? That familiar, nostalgic cowardly look... how did she become just like White Seele?)

Bai Ge looked at the Herrscher of Death in surprise. The fact that Herrscher would beg for mercy was beyond everyone's imagination, but knowing the plot, he knew very well that this was just a ruse by the other party.

"It's fine if I don't kill you~ But then you'll have to go to jail. Don't worry, I won't give you another chance to kill anyone. Anyway, as long as I'm standing here, your powers won't work. Come on, just stick out your hands and fight back!"

As Bai Ge spoke, he took out a pair of Soul Steel handcuffs made of Vill-V's special material, and handcuffed one of the Herrscher of Death under her ugly expression, then handcuffed the other end to his own hand.

"The Herrscher of Death, vanquished... capture complete!"

First update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips.

Sorry for the late update. I had insomnia last night and wasn't feeling well. I was so sleepy writing this chapter.

Chapter 234, Digging Out the Core, Taming the Herrscher of Death, Seele (Please subscribe automatically)

The Deepest Depths of the Pacific Ocean floor.

"You actually captured Herrscher alive. Is there anything in this world that you, Bai Ge, can't do?"

"Let me through right now! I can't wait to study her properly!"

"Hahahaha~! As expected of the Deepest Depths design by the greatest magician of this century, Vill-V, even the Herrscher of the Gods cannot escape it. As expected of me!"

Dr. Mei, Mobius, and Vill-V were staring excitedly at the Herrscher of Death, Seele, deep within the Deepest Depths.

This is the first time humanity has captured Herrscher alive! A divine apostle has been captured! This is of extraordinary significance!

The three of them couldn't help but look at Bai Ge beside them, their eyes filled with uncontrollable admiration. This young man was simply incredible; it seemed like he could really do anything!

"..."

For some reason, Elysia became somewhat silent.

Looking at the Herrscher girl named Seele on the monitor, she found herself feeling a sense of 'kindness' again, and she increasingly suspected that her true identity was also that of a Herrscher.

However, the thought that she had also developed similar feelings for Bai Ge gave Elysia a sliver of hope.

"Vill-V, what's the situation now? Is there any possibility that the Herrscher of Death can escape?"

"No, not at all! Her powers seem to only work on living beings. There's absolutely no way she could escape this prison made entirely of Soul Steel!"

"Vill-V said with great pride, little did she know that her words almost made Mobius, who was standing next to her, extremely envious."

(What? A prison made entirely of Soul Steel? This thing has way too many resources! Didn't she get her budget cut? Damn it! Mei, you bastard, my budget...)

Snakey clutched her chest, heartbroken. She was so short of money that she had to divide a single bowl of instant noodles into two meals.

Looking at Vill-V's still extravagant and unrestrained lifestyle, jealousy caused Mobius to break down.

"Mobius, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, I was just wondering where my research funding went, and why there's such a big difference between people, Mei, what do you think..."

"Ahem! Um, Bai Ge, what are your plans for dealing with the Herrscher of Death?"

Looking into Mobius's piercing snake-like eyes, Mei shuddered and quickly changed the subject.

Skip the dangerous topic of funding; there's no way she could tell Mobius that she had diverted her funds to her own research project.

As soon as Mei finished speaking, the three women looked at Bai Ge with curiosity, waiting for his answer. How to deal with the captured Herrscher was a very important question.

In fact, after learning that the Herrscher of Death had been captured alive, many people in the world had wicked thoughts. Some wanted to dissect and dig out the Herrscher's secrets, some wanted to torture the Herrscher to force her to tell the truth about the Honkai, and some even said that they must be executed.

Regardless of their motives, one thing is certain: countless people are eyeing the Herrscher of Death Seele, but none of them dare to coerce or kidnap her.

Because this Herrscher is a prisoner of Bai Ge.

The prestige of this young man, who had captured the Sixth Herrscher after defeating four Herrscher, was now so formidable that no one dared to touch Herrscher without Bai Ge's permission.

"I want to... tame her."

Bai Ge stared intently at Seele on the monitor and spoke seriously.

Upon hearing this, the four women showed expressions of surprise.

"You said you want to tame this Herrscher?"

"My God, is this even possible?"

"No, maybe it really is possible. Don't forget that the Herrscher of Death is the only Herrscher has begged for mercy so far."

"I think maybe I should just dissect her."

Bai Ge as if she hadn't heard their voices, her gaze still fixed on Seele on the monitor.

He knew in his heart that Seele's pleas for mercy were just a facade. In the original story, after Kevin let the Herrscher of Death go, the Herrscher immediately attacked humanity again.

This clearly shows that this is yet another form of attack against Honkai.

Just as the Herrscher of the Void's powers target humans' ranged weapons, the Herrscher of Thunder's Companion Honkai Beast target humans' melee elites, and the Herrscher of Wind's escape ability targets humans' lack of speed.

The Herrscher of Ice... she died too quickly, I didn't even get a chance to see the punchline.

In any case, the Herrscher of Death Seele's pleas for mercy are also a Honkai -side conspiracy that targets human compassion.

If Bai Ge hadn't known the plot, and had softened his heart and let her go, it would have caused unimaginable losses, but...

(I don't know how I forgot how the Herrscher of the Current Civilization possessed humanity and broke free from the shackles of Honkai, but if the Current Civilization can do it, then perhaps the Previous Civilization could too.)

Although the Herrscher of the Previous Civilization lacked humanity, they still possessed emotions. In that case, Bai Ge thought it was worth a try. If they couldn't restore their humanity, then they could try to cultivate it again.

Moreover, from a selfish perspective, Bai Ge didn't want to kill this Herrscher girl who looked exactly like Seele.

(If I can find a way, maybe in future reincarnations I can win over the Herrscher, just like in the Current Civilization, and make them fight for humanity, and...)

If he could reawaken the humanity of the Herrscher girl in front of him, get her to stand on the side of humanity, and gain people's recognition, then if Bai Ge's Herrscher identity were to be exposed in the future, there would still be room for maneuver.

"Taming Herrscher? That's a pipe dream, but if it's you, Bai Ge, I feel like you might actually have a chance."

After a moment of thought, Mei said that her idea was actually the same as Mobius's. Living Herrscher were rare, and studying and analyzing them might yield significant results.

Moreover, this also minimizes the risk.

But since this is Bai Ge's decision, then it must be the right answer, and...

(I have a feeling that with Bai Ge's methods, it might actually be possible to win over the Herrscher. After all, he could take down Eden in one night, so how difficult could it be for the Herrscher?)

"So what are you planning to do? Seduce her? Although this Herrscher of Death looks underage, the laws that protect humans don't protect Herrscher. You can do whatever you want, Bai Ge."

"Mei, your expression doesn't suggest I should act casually."

Bai Ge rolled his eyes, thinking that women were truly two-faced creatures, but to be honest, he was indeed confident.

After all, Seele. Whether it's White Seele or Dark Seele, Bai Ge can handle it easily. Although this one is Seele, they look pretty much the same.

"Before I seduce, cough cough, tame her, let's pull out those wildcat's teeth that bite randomly. I need to extract her Herrscher Core while keeping her alive," Bai Ge said.

Although the Deepest Depths are unbreakable, since the target is Herrscher, no amount of caution is too much. However, both Mobius and Mebius shook their heads, indicating that they could not do it.

"We've already given her a full body check-up, and the X-ray didn't show anything on her body!"

"You two are really quick, but the Herrscher Core is more special than many people think, so it's normal that it can't be seen on an X-ray."

Bai Ge looked completely unsurprised.

No way, no way, no one really thinks that the Herrscher Core is like a kidney stone growing in a person's body, so the Herrscher of Illusion knows better than anyone else.

The Herrscher's body is merely a fixed coordinate of the core.

In reality, the core of each Herrscher always exists in the imaginary space. Only at the moment of the Herrscher's death will the core, having lost its coordinates, fall from the Imaginary Space into the real world.

The coordinates where they fell were inside the bodies of the Herrscher.

(After all, each core isn't particularly large or small; each Herrscher Core is roughly half the size of a palm. If you were to stuff that inside your body, ugh!)

Bai Ge shook his head and felt uncomfortable just thinking about it, especially since he was a multi-core Herrscher. His body wasn't some convenient pocket that could hold all sorts of things.

However, Otto's plan to Artificial Herrscher was to directly insert the core into the Valkyrie's flesh and blood, and then leave it to fate to see if the Valkyrie could adapt to the core.

For example, Wendy was like that back then, but the consequence was that her body would be severely eroded by Honkai Energy, and even if she became Herrscher, she would be extremely weak and her core would be easily taken away.

After all, placing something in flesh and blood is a completely different concept from placing it in Imaginary Space. Flesh and blood are like an unlocked little box, whose core can be dug out with a scalpel.

The core is hidden in the Imaginary Space, which is like a secure safe. Unless the safe is smashed or the Herrscher is killed, there is almost no chance of obtaining the core.

Bai Ge was able to easily extract Wendy's core back then because she was Artificial Herrscher, so he could extract it directly.

The current Seele is a pure Herrscher, and obtaining the core without killing her is simply a pipe dream.

After all, only the owner knows the password to the "vault," and without the ability to open the Imaginary Space, there is no chance to even crack the password.

However...
