After gaining the powers of [Discipline] and [Foresight], and witnessing Bai Ge's ability to change the fate of others, Aponia felt a glimmer of hope, believing that she, now stronger, could also overcome fate like him.

However, this is impossible.

Because Bai Ge is a time traveler/a special person, in order to accommodate his existence, this world must rewrite all predetermined fates based on his actions.

But Aponia is different; she does not have the ability to ignore the corrective power of fate. Even if she can observe the future, she has no ability to change it.

This is a very tragic thing.

God gave Aponia a heart of mercy.

But it did not give her the power to save her.

Therefore, Aponia could only watch the tragedy unfold, and any attempt to change it would inevitably lead to an even worse outcome—this was the torment fate inflicted upon her.

Aponia is a prisoner of fate; her kindness can only ever bring bad results, and she can do nothing about it.

"You are not allowed to do this kind of thing without permission again."

"Yes, I won't do it anymore..."

After figuring things out, Bai Ge sighed, and the anger he felt towards Aponia dissipated. He wouldn't get angry at someone with good intentions; he just cursed his damned fate in his heart.

Aponia sat up from the ground, her eyes filled with loss and sorrow, lamenting that she could not undo anything.

"I already know that I can't do anything..."

However, right after she said those words...

"That's not necessarily true."

"Huh?"

(Bhfb)

Bai Ge reached out his hand to Aponia, who was still kneeling on the ground, as if an angel had descended to the side of a sinful nun to forgive her sins.

"Aponia, since you can't change your fate, then let me change it for you, won't that be enough?" Bai Ge smiled as he pulled her up from the cold ground.

"What?" Aponia was stunned.

"From now on, tell me what fate you see, and then I will turn things around through my own hands."

This was a clever trick that Bai Ge suddenly came up with.

Aponia can see the future, but she cannot defy the corrective force of fate, while she herself is the opposite.

Although I possess hands that can defy fate and change it, I do not have eyes that can see all the future.

After all, miHoYo didn't record every single thing in the Previous Civilization in detail, which meant that Bai Ge could only change the fate of the Flame-Chasers and couldn't take care of anyone else.

However, now...

"From now on, Aponia, you will be my eyes, and I will be your hands. I will rewrite all the tragedies you see. Let's work together."

Bai Ge spoke sincerely to Aponia.

Just then, the sun, which had been obscured by white clouds on the horizon, reappeared, and its radiance fell perfectly on the boy, making him look so glorious and sacred.

"Ah ah..."

Aponia was stunned for a moment, staring at the boy in front of her, her eyes filled with emotion and shock.

"So that's how it can be done, Bai Ge. Thank you. I'm happy to be your eyes."

At that moment, Aponia felt a crack appear in the cage of fate that imprisoned her, and a pure White Dove flew to her, bringing hope and redemption.

"Um!"

Bai Ge nodded in satisfaction.

"Ah, however, in order to prevent you from doing something wrong again in the future, I have to set some restrictions for you. After all, Aponia, you don't want things to get worse because of your own [commandments], do you?"

Bai Ge raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said.

"Yes, that's certainly how it should be. I understand. So, Bai Ge, please bind me."

Aponia agreed without hesitation. The shackles of fate only made her feel pain and despair, but if they were shackles given by Bai Ge, she would be willing to be bound by them now.

Bai Ge raised an eyebrow. Something about that sounded a bit strange.

"Ahem! Then plant the [Discipline] on yourself. Let me think about the details... From now on, you can only use the [Discipline] ability with my permission, how about that?"

"No problem, let's do it this way."

This would be a constraint that would shackle her strongest abilities, but Aponia was eager to learn at that moment.

Aponia has come to realize that she is a prisoner of fate, powerless to do anything, and that the "commandments" of her own will can mostly only lead to terrible results.

However, if we obey Bai Ge's orders, then the [Discipline] will definitely be able to play its best role.

However...

Just as Aponia was about to bind herself, she casually glanced at her fate.

"I'm sorry, Bai Ge, it seems I can't agree to this request." She suddenly changed her mind.

"Huh? Why?"

Bai Ge was also taken aback and couldn't help but wonder, but Aponia shook her head and said instead of explaining.

"Can I change to a different [precept]?"

"... What do you want to change to?"

Bai Ge frowned, puzzled and somewhat unaccustomed, since it had been a long time since anyone had disobeyed him.

However, the next second, Aponia's answer made him widen his eyes in surprise, thinking he had misheard.

"Hmm~ How about changing it to, 'From now on, I will obey any of your commands'—that's a kind of 'commandment'?"

"Uh, are you serious?"

No, I'm serious.

Aponia smiled and gripped Bai Ge's hands tightly, as if to convey her sincerity—though Bai Ge only felt pain in her hands.

However, more than the pain in his hand, Bai Ge was shocked. Completely obeying his orders? Was she serious? He looked the nun up and down.

Looking at this woman who could only be described as stunningly beautiful and a rare beauty, Bai couldn't help but have those kinds of thoughts, thinking to himself, "Isn't this just letting me have my way with her?"

"I will apply this commandment with all my might, so that even if I want to remove it in the future, I probably won't be able to. But that's how a bond is meant to be."

Aponia calmly blocked her own path.

Bai Ge's gaze became somewhat subtle.

"I suggest you think it through before making a decision. If you do, then I will become a chain that binds you in everything, and you will never be able to disobey me again."

Is there a problem with this?

Aponia tilted her head and asked, puzzled.

"I'm starting to feel like you're seducing me, Aponia. You should be aware of your own charm. After you've imposed the [Commandment], have you considered the consequences if I develop bad feelings for you?"

Bai Ge put his hands on his hips and said with a serious expression.

That expression was as if to say—don't tempt me, I can't resist temptation, you're too big for me!

He's a man with high moral standards; he wouldn't harm anyone other than an enemy, let alone a comrade. But if Aponia were to offer herself up like this...

With her charm, Bai Ge felt that it would be easy for him to cross moral boundaries and become a beast.

Aponia blushed, somewhat pleased.

"Thank you for reminding me, Bai Ge, but I don't think I'm as charming as Elysia and the others, and... if it can make you feel comforted and happy, I'm willing to accept it."

"Are you really sure?"

"Yes, I will definitely not regret this decision."

Aponia closed her eyes and began to work.

"Please, let me Bai Ge your orders forever, let me be your eyes that glimpse the future, your partner in changing destiny, and I will accept everything about you."

The next second, it was as if invisible chains bound her hands, feet, chest, and heart below. At this moment, the [commandment] that could never be undone was completed.

However, Aponia revealed a relieved smile, and she smiled at Bai Ge.

"Now, Bai Ge, please try giving me any orders you like."

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

Several hours passed after that.

Bai Ge walked out of the psychologist's office in Aponia feeling refreshed, still deeply shaken. This experience could only be described as unprecedented.

(Saintess's face, a witch's figure, Aponia is simply amazing!)

Although this caused Bai to accidentally use too much force, he had already used the power of the Herrscher of Death and Life to help Aponia heal, so it was not a big problem.

However, just as Bai Ge stretched and was about to take on a few missions to defeat Emperor-Class Honkai Beast and use up his remaining stamina...

"Hi~ Bai Ge, I've finally found you."

"Huh? Eden, what brings you here?"
