We'll just abandon those 20 million people!

They have now suffered thousands of times less damage than expected, and the remaining 20 million people, even if not rescued, will not have any impact on the situation of the Previous Civilization.

"Bai Ge... come back quickly... everyone on the Mu Continent has been successfully evacuated... leave that place quickly."

Mei took a deep breath and, with great difficulty, spoke a lie through Bai Ge's communicator.

Everyone in the command room stared at Mei in astonishment, but no one uttered a word of correction.

Because no one in the world knows better than them what kind of great achievements Bai Ge has made.

Their savior has done everything perfectly; even the greediest person could not ask for more.

(Even if you hate me, it doesn't matter. I can't let you stay in such a dangerous place any longer, so... Bai Ge, please come back soon!)

Mei had already made up her mind.

But it's not just about abandoning the awareness of ten million people.

And be prepared to be hated by Bai Ge for the rest of your life!

She knew very well that she was committing an unforgivable crime, that she was deceiving the savior of humanity, and that she was tricking Bai Ge into abandoning millions of lives!

Such an unforgivable crime, she would be spared even if she were executed a hundred times over in the future, and that incredibly kind young man would absolutely not agree with her drastic decision.

However, when faced with the choice between the lives of 20 million people and Bai Ge's safety, Mei chose the latter without hesitation.

Let alone 20 million people.

Even if it's a hundred million people! A billion people! She would resolutely choose Bai Ge's safety.

"Dr. Mei, you..."

One analyst wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Dr. Mei shook her head, then scanned everyone in the command room with an expressionless, or rather, extremely cold, expression and spoke.

"This matter has nothing to do with Bai Ge. It was my own arbitrary decision. Those twenty million people... they died and that's it."

Mei suppressed her urge to tremble.

Yes, it has nothing to do with Bai Ge.

It wasn't that he abandoned those 20 million people, but that he abandoned them himself; he deceived the kind savior.

So... this is Mei's fault.

However, just as the girl was thinking this...

"Mei, thank you, but I've already persevered for more than half an hour. Just three more minutes is no big deal."

Bai Ge's relaxed voice came through the communicator.

Mei trembled. She didn't actually know that Bai Ge could grasp the situation of the Mu Continent through Qianfeng.

"Wait, Bai Ge! You've done enough. Don't do anything rash. The power of Herrscher's self-destruction is immeasurable. Next time, next time I will definitely find a way to stop it for you, so..."

She looked at the White Youth on the projection screen, only to see that he had already stood up from the ground and was walking towards the Herrscher was about to explode, while continuing to maintain the spatial portal.

Mei: "Please, Bai Ge, come back soon."

Tears streamed from the eyes of this absolutely rational sage, and Mei almost pleaded with Bai Ge.

"... I didn't expect you to say that to me, haha, it's really gratifying, thank you, Mei, you're such a kind person."

Bai Ge on the projection screen paused for a moment, then said with great surprise.

"Gurgle!"

Although the situation was urgent, Dr. Mei felt an urge to vomit blood at that moment, and tears, unlike those before, flowed from her eyes.

I actually got friend-zoned...

Everyone in the command room broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that they had just heard something shatter. Hmm, that was probably someone's cup, it couldn't have been Dr. Mei's heart.

"Anyway, I'll handle everything. That's all for now, bye~" Bai Ge said.

"Wait, get back here right now!"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

Even though Mei tried to force the call to be answered, Bai had already crushed the Soul Steel communication headset.

"Do I need to hold out for three minutes? Sigh, but the shield seems to only last for 20 to 30 seconds. Looks like I have to risk my life for the first time in a long time. But at least I won't die."

Bai Ge thought about his many ways of protecting himself and became a little more confident. Then he looked at the Herrscher of Earth had already burst the Pseudo Black Hole.

The Imaginary Barrier, Ideal Fluid shield, and molecular boundary he had previously erected were being visibly breached.

While not as fragile as a piece of paper, these layers combined are enough to withstand a nuclear bomb's shield, each layer only providing less than five seconds of protection.

The Herrscher's self-destruction seemed poised to destroy the world in the next second, while Bai Ge was currently in a state of near depletion of Honkai Energy, and he had to maintain the portal while buying time.

"Eh~ Being a savior is really not easy. Fortunately, I still have a few moves left to use. So, this is the moment of salvation!"

Bai Ge activated the Artificial Herrscher Form once again, and the White Youth's body transformed into a giant white dragon.

Using Artificial Herrscher Form requires no Honkai Energy; it can even be described as simple and casual as breathing.

"Roar roar roar—!"

The white dragon's body was covered in cracks, but this did not diminish its domineering power as it roared across the world.

Then the Salvation White Dragon opened its mouth towards the Herrscher of Earth, and the next second it devoured the rampant Honkai Energy on the Herrscher's body.

This is also an ability that Bai Ge obtained from Chi You's Hyper-Evolution Factor. It is similar to Vishnu's infinite devouring ability, but the Honkai Energy he swallows can only be stored in his body or consumed, unlike Vishnu's ability to catalyze his growth and become stronger.

However, it is precisely because of this that there are few side effects.

"Great, it's somewhat useful!"

Bai Ge was delighted to feel the rapidly increasing Honkai Energy within his body.

He then applied several defensive measures, and Bai Ge also used the basic time control ability he had obtained from Xing Malt in the past, in order to delay the Herrscher's self-destruction as much as possible.

60 seconds, 80 seconds—these three minutes are probably the longest three minutes in the world.

"The Herrscher's Honkai Energy weakened, so the explosive power might be reduced! Lord Bai Ge, he..."

"No, no, this slight reduction is completely useless. Damn it, make those people run even faster!"

Seconds, 140 seconds...

In less than three minutes, the Honkai Energy absorbed by the Salvation White Dragon had already exceeded the super threshold of 100,000 HW! That's more than three times the Honkai Energy Bai Ge possessed at its peak!

He had to use the holy blood within his body to continuously neutralize the excessive Honkai Energy, and the Honkai Energy turned into pure light particles that were released from the body of the Salvation White Dragon.

This scene is so beautiful.

As people gazed at the beautiful white dragon that was constantly releasing particles of light from its body, they were momentarily captivated, almost forgetting the urgent situation that required every second to be of the essence.

180 seconds!

Bai Ge silently counted the time in his mind, and when he finally achieved his goal, his tense nerves relaxed.

He had no time to waste. The Herrscher of Earth's self-destruction was fully unleashed, and countless Honkai Energy would utterly destroy this world in the next instant.

Just as Bai Ge was about to use the portal to retreat.

(bhfb) "Huh? Why aren't they all evacuated yet?!"

The intelligence brought by Qianfeng indicated that the evacuation operation was not yet complete.

The three minutes mentioned earlier by the command center was the fastest and most ideal result, but in reality, it is impossible for the data obtained by the computer to be exactly the same.

Bai Ge knew that among those who had not yet been evacuated, there were no important talents, and their numbers were less than a hundred.

Among them were elderly people with mobility issues, police officers who were late in helping the Moth Chasing Fire evacuate the crowd, and Moth Chasing Fire soldiers who were at the rear. The most pitiful one was a pregnant woman with a large belly.

Although it is very cruel to say this,

But these fewer than one hundred people were neither qualified nor worthy of the savior risking his life for them. Of course, these people wanted to live, but unfortunately, their fates were not good enough.

Therefore, the tragic ending was inevitable... I'm afraid many people in this world would think that way.

However.

"Tragedy is meant to be rewritten!"

Bai Ge / Salvation White Dragon stopped his retreat. He faced the Herrscher of Earth who had already self-destructed. Under the horrified gazes of countless people, Bai Ge rushed forward and hugged the Herrscher.

Then, pale dragon wings enveloped the body of the Salvation White Dragon, like a huge and beautiful white dragon cocoon.

The next second, a massive explosion and shockwave were released from the White Dragon's Cocoon, with a power far more terrifying than a nuclear explosion.

Boom--!!!!

"Bai Ge—!!" xN

At this moment, everyone in the world who cherished the White Youth exclaimed his name in astonishment.

The Mu Continent was annihilated in a flash of white light.

This massive explosion, which should have affected neighboring continents, ultimately failed to cause further damage.

The last of the Mu Continent people also gained an extra three precious seconds to escape because the Salvation White Dragon wrapped the Herrscher with his own body, and they all successfully ran into the portal.

When these survivors learned what had happened from others, they trembled and knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, as they cried out in self-reproach towards the white dragon.
