When Their Hero, Someone in Honkai Impact

To prevent Bai Ge from escaping using his spatial authority, Otto designated a 10,000-meter radius centered on him as part of the area strike target.

All heavy missiles in Schicksal's armory were instantly depleted at that moment, especially the dozen or so Honkai Energy fission bombs mixed in.

These were Otto's true trump cards.

Third update, thanks to "Alberle" for the 588 VIP points. I saw it and immediately updated a chapter.

Please give me flowers, comments, and support.

Chapter Forty-Five: The Most Beautiful Youth in This World (New book, seeking support)

Missiles rained down from the sky like a storm.

This was the rain of destruction delivered by the Fool.

Schicksal's heavy missiles were far more powerful than others, each capable of instantly turning a small town into a sea of fire, and now, over a thousand were about to fall simultaneously!

"My Lord Bishop, are you abandoning us...?"

"This isn't real, this isn't real!"

"No, I don't want to die! Someone save me!"

"Dad, Mom, ahhh, ahhhh!"

Schicksal's Valkyries had also fallen into a panic. At this moment, they realized they had been treated as expendable pawns by Otto Apocalypse.

Their purpose was merely to keep the Herrscher of the Void in place until these thousands of missiles landed.

Otto: "As an unprecedented multi-core Herrscher, how could your destruction be ordinary? Let these hundreds of A-rank Valkyries and three S-rank Valkyries be your funeral escort, Herrscher of the Void. You don't need to thank me, hahaha~"

Cecilia lowered Black Abyss White Flower.

Siegfried's Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment fell to the ground.

Theresa and Judas Oath had fallen silent.

Even though they were all S-rank combatants, they absolutely could not survive facing so many missiles.

The super-wide saturation strike was meant to completely destroy this area. After they all turned to charcoal and everyone was dead, Otto would reappear to pick up the remaining four Herrscher cores from the desolate land.

If it were just me, I could still dodge.

Bai Ge made an instant judgment.

If it were just him, he could still hide in the Void's own imaginary space and reappear calmly after the missile storm had passed.

But only he himself would have the time.

Cecilia, Siegfried, Theresa, and Sirin, at least half, or even more than half, of them wouldn't make it in time. Moreover, the imaginary space was actually a very harmful environment for ordinary people.

The imaginary space was filled with Honkai Energy; ordinary people would turn into Deathly or Honkai Beasts within seconds.

In that case.

The answer to what he should do was obvious.

When Bai Ge's eyes opened again, his magnificent Golden Eyes stared directly at the storm of destruction falling from the sky. His existence was like an unquenchable fire burning fiercely in the heavy rain.

"Imaginary Barrier, Ideal Fluid Shield, maximum scale, activate—!!"

He flew towards the sky.

The young man's raised hands seemed to prop up the entire sky. This was his choice; Bai Ge chose to face the destruction descending from the heavens head-on!

His posture was as magnificent and tragically beautiful as a moth drawn to a flame.

"Herrscher of the Void, what are you doing!"

"Everyone, get down immediately!"

"Bai Ge, are you going to do it again—!"

"Master, your core will break if you do this!"

The voices of everyone around him reached his ears, but Bai Ge could no longer afford to pay attention.

He fully activated all his authority, channeling all the Honkai Energy into the power of protection, transforming himself into an absolute defense line intercepting thousands of missiles.

"As expected, you would step forward."

In Schicksal's combat control room.

Otto excitedly stood up, knocking his chair over.

His gaze was fixed on Bai Ge on the screen. Without mercy, just as the missiles were about to be transferred through the spatial gate, he detonated them in mid-air.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

The Siberian sky was blown open.

It was as if thousands of suns had appeared in the sky.

"Damn it! (╬ﾟ◥◣◥ﾟ)"

Bai Ge cursed.

If blocking an unexploded missile was a small matter, after all, no matter how dangerous an explosive was, as long as it hadn't detonated, it was just a hunk of metal. Teleporting it would be no problem.

But conversely, blocking an exploded missile required tens of times more Honkai Energy.

Bai Ge grit his teeth and held on.

The first Herrscher of Reason, Welt Joyce, had once constructed a shield to protect all of Manhattan, but even he lost all his power to a single Honkai Energy fission bomb.

And now, although Bai Ge was a quad-core Herrscher, far surpassing Welt Joyce in strength, he was facing all of Schicksal's heavy missiles! Among them were over a dozen Honkai Energy fission bombs alone!

{I can hold on, I can still hold on! The Ideal Fluid shield won't be easily broken, and with the Imaginary Barrier isolating the excess blast heat, it'll be fine!}

"Yaaahhhhhhh!!!"

"..."

Everyone stared blankly at the sky.

The Herrscher boy who had blocked all the missiles for them, appearing to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, was now facing this world-ending crisis alone.

He had protected everyone, even protecting them who had been his enemies until just moments ago.

The Valkyries all knelt on the ground. They looked up at Bai Ge in the sky, their weapons long dropped, their hearts filled only with bitter guilt and repentance.

"No, Bai Ge, please..."

Sirin watched Bai Ge, tears streaming down her face.

She reached out towards the sky with all her might, but she could never reach the boy.

Bai Ge's figure, so radiant at this moment, caused her heart to ache to the point of suffocation. If only she could bear this suffering in his stead.

"Just a little bit more!"

Blood flowed from Bai Ge's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. His body was already at the absolute limit.

Even though the Herrscher gems were connected to the Imaginary Space, allowing him to draw endless Honkai Energy from it at any time, Bai Ge had already pushed the power of his four cores to the maximum.

Cracks appeared on all four Herrscher cores, mirroring Bai Ge's own fractured state.

"...Herrscher of the Void, truly admirable."

Otto watched it all with a solemn and serious expression.

Reality was a bitch.

The Herrscher who was supposed to destroy the world was now protecting humanity, while Schicksal, an organization whose creed was 'fighting for all that is good in the world,' was now carpet-bombing the most beautiful existence in the world.

This utterly wicked man was lost in thought.

Looking at Bai Ge on the screen, throwing himself into danger without regard for his own safety, Otto suddenly thought of the most beautiful existence in his heart, his only saint, Kallen Kaslana.

Identical.

They were truly identical.

They were both noble and kind people, both powerful individuals, and both heroes who burned themselves to save others when disaster struck.

They possessed the power to escape, yet they risked their lives to shield others from disaster, and even... they both died because of Otto.

This point was also identical.

"..."

At this moment, Otto hesitated.

He superimposed Bai Ge's image with Kallen's.

Fate seemed to place that day from over five hundred years ago before the fool once again.

At this moment, this villain of Reason truly felt an impulse to abandon his plan and stop the attack. Otto truly did not want to kill the saint a second time.

However.

"I'm sorry, Herrscher of the Void. In the end, what I loved was never a saint, but Kallen. I was the one who harmed Kallen back then. To atone for that mistake, even if it means committing more mistakes, even if it means killing you, who is identical to her, I will not stop."

What he loved was not some saint; he loved Kallen Kaslana. That woman was the selfishness of his entire life.
