When They Were Heroes, Part 42

The young man before him was clean, pure, noble, and flawless. Otto couldn't help but feel that as a wicked person like himself, even looking at him for an extra moment was a blasphemy, and his gaze falling upon Bai Ge was a filthy stain.

"Here, Otto Apocalypse offers you his highest respect, Herrscher of the Void."

"...Otto, you are the most contradictory person I've ever met."

Otto: "Indeed, but distortion and contradiction are synonymous with Otto Apocalypse. But please don't mind, even though you and I are irreconcilable enemies, that doesn't stop me from praising, admiring, and... envying you."

Fourth update, the next chapter will be the

"Hmm? Ah, it seems so."

Bai Ge paused, then saw his own body gradually dim and dissipate. The effect of "Flowing Quills EX" had only about thirty seconds left.

So, Bai Ge seized this last moment, rubbed the little white furball in his arms again, and said gently.

"Ichliebedich. I'll say this to you on behalf of your mother, Kiana."

"Finally, Otto Apocalypse, from now on, I will speak to you not as a human, but as a Herrscher/Apostle of God. You will, in the future, resurrect your Saintess."

Bai Ge suddenly curled his lips and spoke words that would shock the fool before him with an incredibly brilliant smile.

As soon as he said this, Otto, who had been calm moments before, couldn't sit still. But before he could ask anything, Bai Ge pointed to Kiana in his arms and continued.

"You will have the chance to make up for your regrets from five hundred years ago and resurrect the one you love. I know this miracle truly exists in your future path, but... if you dare to do anything to harm Kiana, I guarantee that miracle will completely disappear from your future!"

"Wait, Herrscher of the Void, what do you mean by 'future'? What do you know?!"

However, this time Otto did not get an answer. Bai Ge's figure dissolved into light particles, leaving only four dim, cracked Herrscher gems on the ground.

"..."

The fool remained silent, watching this scene. After a long while, Otto Apocalypse covered his face with one hand and threw his head back, laughing heartily.

"Hmph, haha, haha, hahahaha! In the end, you pull this stunt on me. Alright, alright, I admit it – you win, Herrscher of the Void!"

Otto clenched his fists and stared at the spot where Bai Ge had disappeared, as if the boy's soul still lingered there.

Finally, he picked up the Herrscher cores from the ground and instructed Amber to take good care of the unconscious Kiana, specifically warning her that not the slightest accident could befall her.

"I never expected it, I truly never expected Otto Apocalypse would one day believe in gods."

Even though Bai Ge's words were completely unsubstantiated.

Otto still couldn't help but feel a flicker of hope.

He couldn't help but fantasize. Since the boy was a Herrscher, an apostle of the Honkai God, did he perhaps possess some unknown power that could observe the distant future?

Moreover, not long ago, when Bai Ge denied possessing the authority of the Herrscher of Death, Otto had seen through his lie. But now, he couldn't find any trace of Bai Ge lying.

This meant that Bai Ge's claim of being able to resurrect Kallen in the future was true. Although he didn't know how Bai Ge knew this, it was enough to give Otto hope.

Therefore.

He could no longer harm Kiana.

If not harming Kiana was a prerequisite for resurrecting Kallen, Otto would absolutely not act presumptuously. He would even proactively protect her well.

Therefore, Bai Ge had won.

In the end, even without "Flowing Quills Alpha," he had still protected the person he wanted to protect.

Fifth update, seeking flowers, seeking votes, seeking tips.

I won't say anything more, look at the picture!! .

Chapter Fifty-Two, Bai Ge Returns to the Original Timeline (Seeking Support for New Book)

"I... I'm back?"

Bai Ge stood dazed in front of the mirror.

He subconsciously looked up at the time to confirm the system was correct. Although he had spent several months in another timeline, less than a second had passed in the original timeline.

And that child's body had already reverted to a young boy. His body, which had been largely eroded by Honkai Energy, was now completely back to normal.

At the same time, several new powers surged.

[Congratulations, Host, on completing the second Honkai simulation. Based on the individuals with whom you established bonds, the rewards you have received have all been successfully distributed. Please confirm.]

"Hmm? Is that so? Let me take a look."

Bai Ge raised an eyebrow. Perhaps still immersed in the afterglow of this adventure, he didn't show much excitement, but he was eager to confirm how much stronger he had become.

The next second, the system interface changed, displaying something akin to a game character status screen.

[Your gains from this traversal are:

Authority of the Herrscher of the Void? Remnant, Authority of the Herrscher of Death? Remnant, Authority of the Flame Herrscher? Remnant, Authority of the Herrscher of Wind? Remnant, Authority of the Herrscher of Thunder? Remnant.]
