Five Herrschers, Arrested! (Continued)
This is truly a cause for celebration, Coca-Cola.
How are you feeling?
Bai Ge looked at the five Herrscher in the prison with pleasure. At the same time, he admired his own awesome and heaven-defying battle record.
The Herrscher of Reason captures the situation in 15 seconds.
Herrscher of the Void, capture time 25 seconds.
Herrscher of Thunder, captured in 23 seconds.
The Herrscher of Wind, captured in 23 seconds.
The Herrscher of Ice, captured in 26 seconds.
This is his strength after completing the game 11 times!
Bai Ge felt that he had awakened a new interest called "collecting." Just as Eden liked to collect fine wines and Pardo liked to collect shiny things, he began to like collecting Herrscher.
Herrscher of Thunder: "Human! Don't be so smug!"
Herrscher of Wind: "I admit you're strong, but we haven't lost yet!"
Herrscher of Ice: "You know nothing about the Honkai! The Honkai will prevail!"
Herrscher of the Void: "That's right, no matter the cost, the Honkai will surely defeat humanity!!"
The indomitable cries of the Herrscher echoed in the Deepest Depths recesses of the earth.
If someone were here unaware of the situation, they would definitely think Bai Ge was the villain and that the others were the heroes.
"..."
Bai Ge rolled his eyes speechlessly, indicating that he really wanted to jump to the level of the Herrscher of Finality, but unfortunately he couldn't create a prison to imprison the Herrscher of the Finality.
"The stubbornness of the losers is quite pleasant to hear, but this is reality. You are no match for me." Bai Ge's tone was extremely calm, as if stating a fact.
While it is indeed true, none of the five Herrscher —Reason, Void, Lightning, Wind, and Ice—could withstand a single move from him.
These early Herrscher posed no pressure on Bai Ge at all, although it seemed that because he was acting too exaggeratedly, the Honkai had already begun to target him.
However, Bai Ge has seen those methods many times in the past ten reincarnations and found ways to counter them (bhfb). In short, it's extremely reliable and there's absolutely no chance of failure!
That's all for today, goodbye~
Bai Ge patted his military uniform and prepared to leave.
Now he is dressed in a jet-black military uniform, wearing a military cap and a cloak redder than blood, and every step he takes in his black combat boots is as steady as a mountain.
He is now the supreme commander of the Moth Chasing Fire. This is a battle suit designed for him by Eden that also functions as armor. When he wears it, Bai Ge looks like a cold and ruthless general, although this coldness and ruthlessness is broken whenever he shows a smile.
But there's no denying that he's incredibly handsome; just looking at Bai Ge makes you want to follow him.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Just then Herrscher of Reason spoke up, trying to stop Bai Ge.
"I won't wait. My time is very precious." Bai Ge walked away without looking back, her hands behind her back.
"Human, tell me, why don't you kill us? Why do you just keep us locked up here... doing nothing at all?" Herrscher of Reason shouted, staring at Bai Ge's back.
She was the first Herrscher to be imprisoned in the Deepest Depths. During this long prison life, in addition to her growing hatred for Bai Ge, the Herrscher of Reason also developed a question.
Why did Bai Ge just lock them up here and not do anything else?
The Herrscher of Reason once thought that the reason why Bai Ge captured the Herrscher alive as prisoners every time was to make them guinea pigs and conduct all sorts of live experiments on them.
But this idea is obviously wrong. They were simply locked up, and apart from occasionally being disciplined for saying something harsh, they were not harmed at all.
As for liking to collect Herrscher? Nobody would believe that! Even if that were part of the reason, it would definitely only be a small part, not the main reason!
"Human, what is your purpose?" the Herrscher of Reason asked again.
"..." x4
The other four Herrscher were also stunned, their puzzled gazes all fixed on the White Youth's retreating figure.
"My... purpose?"
Bai Ge stopped in his tracks, and in that moment of silence, the world seemed to fall silent along with him.
The five Herrscher held their breath, feeling as if their hearts were being gripped by a giant hand. They also felt awe towards the young man who had so easily defeated them.
"I want to liberate you from the control of the Honkai. What would you think if I said that?"
Bai Ge spoke calmly, and his Golden Eyes caused the five Herrscher to freeze in shock.
"Liberate us from God's control? You, what kind of fantasy are you talking about! How could a mere human possibly do such a thing? Are you even normal?!"
The Herrscher of Reason was immediately drenched in sweat, as were the other Herrscher.
They are personalities created by the Honkai, so they feel it is only natural to obey the Honkai's orders, just as it is natural for a child to obey their mother's words.
However, right now, a White Youth says he wants to liberate them from their mother/ Honkai.
The five Herrscher simply couldn't understand it.
Bai Ge wasn't surprised, although comparing the Honkai to a mother wasn't quite appropriate, since no mother in this world would let her child kill humans and destroy civilization; if you can't win, just self-destruct.
In the ten cycles, Bai Ge has experienced many of the Honkai's methods and figured out many of their hidden mechanisms. Therefore, he also understands that the Herrscher is just a consumable for the Honkai to achieve its goals.
"You are a pathetic bunch, Herrscher. You are nothing but pawns in the game between that high and mighty god and me. Although you have power, you are ultimately just puppets."
"So what...?"
The Herrscher of Reason clenched her fists tightly, and the other Herrscher also showed signs of wavering. They knew that Bai said was true.
"So all you have to do is tremble in humiliation and wait for me to save you. Don't worry, whether you want it or not, I will definitely save you, you Honkai Herrscher."
Bai Ge said, his eyes filled with determination, as he gripped the brim of his hat.
The Herrscher were stunned once again.
"We didn't ask you to do that kind of thing."
"I know, but it doesn't matter, because I want to do it, I can do it, so I'm doing it. This has been just my whim from beginning to end."
"..." x5
This is a willful act called redemption.
After Bai Ge finished speaking, he left the Deepest Depths without lingering.
Only the five Herrscher, their minds shaken, remained. Then they heard a song coming from the direction the boy had left, a song as intoxicating as a drugged wine.
"Love-is-just-a-history-that-they-may-prove
Love is merely a piece of history they will prove.
And when you're gone
When you leave
Ill-tell-them-my-religions-you
I will tell them that my faith is in you.
When-Pontius-comes-to-kill-the-king-upon-his-throne
When Pontius VIII killed the king on the throne
I'm ready for their stones
I am also prepared to face their stoning.
Bai Ge softly sang "Bloody-Mary," without any particular meaning, simply because he felt that the Deepest Depths atmosphere perfectly matched the song.
At the same time, he felt a little regretful.
Thinking that if it were a heavenly female voice like Eden's, she would surely sing even more beautifully, he immediately decided to have a candlelight dinner with that golden songstress that night.
Bai Ge suddenly thought of something and let out a sneer.
There was a time when the system said he was obsessed, and he finds it funny now when he thinks about it.
Because anyone in this world can become obsessed, but he alone cannot.
Why should Bai need to explain his actions to others? He can love whoever he wants, do what he wants, and kill whoever he wants. What freedom that is!
How could someone who holds freedom in their hands possibly be obsessed?
Saving Elysia was never the chain that bound Bai Ge, and don't forget the entry called "Heart of Eternity." Even after ten reincarnations, his essence remains the same boy he was before, unchanged in the slightest.
That's right, nothing has changed.
Bai Ge is still the same rebellious madman who doesn't want to let go of anything and is insatiably greedy for everything.
Bai Ge: "Ill-dance-dance-dance
I will dance with abandon
With-my-hands-hands-hands
Hands
Above-my-head-head-head
Raise above your head
