Eden: Aili, let's be best friends under one blanket!!

Himiko's head was covered in black lines and her eyes twitched.

Bai Ge, why do you always hit people where it hurts? I'm busy fighting the Honkai and protecting the world all day long, I don't have time for any bullshit romance, it's definitely not because I can't find anyone!

Wait a minute, Bai Ge, how did you manage to have both love and career success? You lead humanity to fight the Honkai while also dating and showering everyone with PDA all day long.

Himiko the jealousy and confusion of a single person, but then she immediately realized what was going on.

(Oh right, this guy already has a built-in romantic partner. He was already dating Elysia when he first joined the Moth Chasing Fire. Damn it, I'm so jealous!)

Himiko felt incredibly inferior when she thought about the loving photos of the two of them that Elysia updated on her social media every day.

She's already over thirty and still can't find a boyfriend, so all she can post on social media is how many Honkai Beast she defeated today...

"So, what brings you here, Hero Bai?"

"No rush, let us tidy up your room first."

"Ha?"

Before Himiko react, Bai Ge had already led Aponia into her room and began efficiently tidying up her dormitory, which was now starting to grow mushrooms.

Although Bai's housekeeping skills had been neglected for a period of time under the care of the perfect maid Rita, they have been restored after arriving in the Current Civilization.

· ······Requesting flowers····· ·

After all, the Pink Fairy's housework skills are just so-so, and Bai Ge dotes on her so much.

"Hmm~ This looks much more comfortable."

"Um, thank you?"

Ten minutes later, looking at her now clean and tidy dormitory, Himiko stunned and somewhat flattered.

Bai Ge's status is now far higher than hers, yet this great human hero suddenly came to her on her day off and had her clean her house.

Was she really that close to Bai Ge? Could it be that he actually had feelings for her?

Himiko couldn't help but imagine what was going on.

In reality, Bai Ge was just thinking of Himeko when he looked at her.

Before meeting him, Himeko was also an older single woman and a loser in life. In addition, the two of them looked almost identical, so Bai Ge subconsciously associated Himiko with him.

"Alright, let's get down to business now."

"Starting so soon? I'm not prepared at all, and you even brought Aponia along, Bai Ge, you wouldn't be thinking of... I, I can't accept this!"

Himiko her arms and said, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Tsk! Aponia, give her something else first."

"Yes, Himiko, please don't think about erotic things."

"... I... I didn't!"

Himiko like punching someone. These two were completely inexplicable. They suddenly approached her, suddenly started cleaning, and suddenly "accused" her of having lewd thoughts.

However, she was surprised to find that those kinds of thoughts seemed to have really disappeared from her mind!

In short, after a chaotic farce, Bai Ge finally got to the point.

"Aponia, plant the commandments I told you to her."

"Okay, Captain Himiko, please forget what happened next, but follow what Bai Ge said—please, never hurt humans."

"..."

This is a commandment that was forcibly implanted, but Bai Ge didn't need to ask Himiko's consent in the first place. Now, he has the highest decision-making power in any matter related to Honkai.

Himiko won't remember this commandment, but she will obediently abide by it. Bai Ge doesn't know if she will also abide by this commandment after she becomes Herrscher.

But isn't this a possibility worth trying?

Before the Herrscher's original body becomes Herrscher, implant the commandment "Do not be an enemy of humans" into her. In this way, it may become a constraint for her after she becomes Herrscher.

"Whether this trick succeeds or not, I will not let you kill anyone, Himiko. I promise I will never let you bear the sin of mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

Bai Ge whispered to the dazed and confused Himiko.

This has nothing to do with her being Himeko's counterpart from Previous Civilization.

It was because Bai Ge knew that Himiko was a brave female warrior fighting on the front lines against the Honkai, and one of the many heroes protecting humanity.

Someone like her shouldn't become Herrscher. Bai Ge will never allow the Honkai to tarnish this woman's dignity and will.

"Aponia, do you think this will work?"

"I don't know, because of you, her fate has become unpredictable."

"That means there's a possibility of change, which is good."

In fact, Bai Ge could have simply thrown Himiko into the Deepest Depths and waited for her to Herrscherization, then captured her alive.

After all, according to the old system, it was the inevitable destiny of the Herrscher's original body to become the Herrscher, and unless the original body was killed in advance, it was almost impossible to change this fate.

But Bai Ge knew it would never be that easy.

After all, the proctor on the moon, known as the "Cocoon of the End," is watching closely, and it's impossible for it to choose someone already trapped in an inescapable cage as its Herrscher.

Otherwise, the difficulty would be too low.

In this way, Bai Ge only needs to remember the identities of all the Herrscher, and then build the Deepest Depths in advance during the second playthrough, put all the Herrscher bodies inside, and he can directly deal with all the Herrscher outside of the Finality.

However, this monitor, which can change the questions at any time, will not let you get the points so easily when it sees that you already have the correct answer. Instead, it will immediately change the questions!

So...

(I have to pretend I don't know what the question is, or at least I can't make any overly extravagant preparations beforehand. I can't let the Cocoon of the End find out that I already have the answer.)

Bai Ge looked up at the sky, at the moon that was still visible in the daytime, as if she were staring at the "cocoon".

However, although he was wary and cautious, he didn't actually care too much, because Bai Ge felt that "The Cocoon of the End" was not a very smart examiner.

Otherwise, the Herrscher of Ice wouldn't have landed on him and Kalpas's faces, resulting in them being killed for nothing, and their only achievement being a village of scum.

Bai Ge: "Tsk tsk, I never thought that after so many years since graduation, I would be able to experience the tension of fighting wits with the proctor in the exam room again. However... although this year's proctors are not blind, they are not very smart. They can easily handle it."

However, although it's not very bright, it can still flip tables.

Thinking about the two super problems of future constraints and the Finality, Bai Ge couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He cursed the lunatic in his heart.

What kind of exam in this world can fail you the moment you get one question wrong? Especially the last few questions, which are completely beyond the syllabus!

Third update. Requesting flowers, votes, and tips.

Chapter 248, Eden: Aili, let's be best friends for life!

One week later, inside the Sydney Super Dome in Australia.

Bai Ge entered the preparation room carrying a bouquet of flowers, offering praise to the singer who was preparing.

"You look beautiful today, Eden."

"Yes, thank you for the flowers, Bai Ge."

Inside the preparation room, Eden had changed into a gorgeous and elegant performance costume, looking like a Goddess of Art; countless people would believe she was the muse descended to earth.

Eden gently sniffed the white Abyss Flower Bai Ge offered, her shoulders relaxed slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Eden, you look very nervous."

"Yes, I am indeed nervous. After all, such a big stage is quite rare even for me. There are more than twice as many audience members as usual, and—there is a very special audience member today, right?"

Eden is a very intelligent woman. Although Bai Ge did not explicitly mention the Herrscher, she had already guessed it from the boy's reactions over this period of time.

Even so, she did not intend to back down.

"Aren't you afraid, Eden?"

Bai Ge raised his hand to massage her temples, and asked with some curiosity.

"Of course, of course I'm scared. In fact, I'm still afraid right now, Bai Ge, you see."

As Eden spoke, he raised his hands, and those perfect, jade-like hands that could drive Kira Yoshikage mad were now trembling slightly, proving the unease hidden beneath Eden's elegance.

Although she was Superstar, Eden is just an ordinary person now.

Having witnessed the Great Honkai caused by the Herrscher (Seele) in the past, and the absolute death there, how could Eden possibly be as calm as someone who was completely unharmed?

But...

"But with Bai Ge here, I know I can do it."

Eden looked at Bai Ge with trust and said.

She was willing to share her stage with Bai Ge, and she was also willing to entrust her life to Bai Ge.

Eden believed that even the most terrifying Herrscher could not take his life from this White Youth.

She will not ask the concert to be canceled.

Because many people yearn for Eden's song, she must continue singing, in order to respond to those expectations and also to echo her own soul as the 'singer'.

"You know, Eden, Aili once told me, 'Eden, people of this era all grew up listening to your songs.' Now I think that's very true."
