The Herrscher of Finality's Companion Honkai Beast
He saved Sue, freeing this most enlightened one from the torment of ego.
He saved Kosma, allowing this man who longed for it most not to have to shatter his past ideals.
He saved Mobius, sparing this most studious boy from an endless cycle of life and death.
He saved Griseo, sparing this most innocent soul from wandering the dark sea of stars.
He saved Hua, allowing this most humble person to not have to close off their cherished feelings.
He saved Pardo, allowing this happiest person to escape the true meaning of suffering.
In that future, this person will also save that beautiful girl, as radiant as a falling flower.
Bai Ge smiled and said, "Because you are the reason I came into this era, Vill-V. To me, each of you is more important than the world."
Saving the world can only be secondary. In this Previous Era, what matters most to Bai Ge are always these fourteen Flame Chasers.
Second update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips!
Chapter 367, The Herrscher of Finality Companion Honkai Beast (Please Submit)
After receiving all the God Keys from Vill-V, if the thousand cores of the Herrscher of the Thousand are considered as a whole, Bai Ge has now become Herrscher of Thirteen Cores.
He also learned from the lessons of the first playthrough and ordered everyone from the Previous Civilization to evacuate into the World Bubble early on.
Now, as long as the Finality doesn't suddenly appear in the next second, Bai Ge no longer needs to risk his life to buy time like he used to.
Incidentally, in order to align with the development of Current Civilization, Bai Ge had the Moth Chasing Fire forge two Durandal Swords, one of which was "accidentally" thrown into the Sea of Quantum.
We're just waiting for the future goose to go find it.
"No matter how much I increase the strength of civilization, the Finality is still the Finality, emmm. Perhaps from the perspective of the Honkai, even without increasing the strength of the Herrscher of Finality, she already possesses enough power to crush humanity and restart civilization."
Bai Ge fiddled with the God Keys in his hand and muttered to himself.
This is undoubtedly true. If it weren't for his existence as an anomaly, the Previous Civilization would have lasted at most half a day before being destroyed and restarted. However, now everything is different.
Having gone through ten cycles, Bai Ge has figured out the Herrscher of Finality's action patterns. To put it realistically, he could fight her even with his eyes closed, or he wouldn't even need to fight.
After all, once the Finality comes, everyone from the Previous Civilization will have already retreated into the World Bubble, so it won't matter if she just lets it restart the civilization.
"Well, not really. We still have to fight. At least we need to make Prometheus the Will of Honkai, and my plan also needs the Herrscher of Finality to help me."
Bai Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, mentally reviewing "that plan" for the tens of thousands of times to check for any flaws. Only after confirming its feasibility did he smile again.
He looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.
Bai Ge found it incredible that he was so relaxed and not nervous at all, and even had a sense of anticipation as if he was about to see an old friend.
"Sorry, Finality, but for my plan, I'll have to squeeze you dry this time."
Although there is actually one more Herrscher needed to reach the Finality, Bai is completely unprepared for the Corruption. In each of the ten cycles, the Corruption is the easiest to overcome, as if it were sent by the Honkai to deliver his head to him.
He glanced at the last two hourglasses.
There is less than a day left before the erosion begins.
And there are less than two days left until the Finality.
Ten hours later, at the Moth Chasing Fire base.
After the Herrscher of Corruption arrived, Bai Ge simply took Ling to a room completely isolated from the network and pulled out the Fallen Gem that she had just been born from, which hadn't even been there for more than a few seconds.
He then skillfully transferred the Herrscher of Corruption consciousness from within the gem into the body of Himeko, which had been prepared beforehand.
Then...
"Waaaaah! I surrender! Please spare me! I'll do anything you ask, just don't kill me!"
"You always do this..."
The Herrscher of Corruption her powers, or rather Himeko, was trembling with fear. She knelt before Bai Ge, bowing repeatedly to the ground.
Bai Ge raised his hand and patted her head soothingly, his eyes filled with affection and his gaze incredibly gentle!
But that's to be expected, since this girl always makes things the easiest and least stressful for him.
Compared to the other Herrscher, the Herrscher of Corruption was far too pragmatic, requiring no effort from Bai Ge.
Moreover, Bai Ge could also tell from her that Honkai wanted to quickly jump to the BOSS battle, since the treatment of Erosion was too casual. Not only did it not have the Great Honkai, but it also did not have the Companion Honkai Beast that was standard for other Herrscher besides Herrscher of Reason.
This child is like a free gift with a phone top-up; he doesn't resemble a Honkai Herrscher of Honkai at all.
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, Corruption. You're so well-behaved and sensible, how could we possibly kill you? Sigh~ I really hope that the next Herrscher can learn more from you."
"Oh, by the way, from now on, Himeko is your new name. Get along well with humans from now on. Trust me, a bright and promising future awaits you."
Bai Ge comforted the Herrscher of Corruption.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Honkai was dumbfounded. Honkai had not given her any orders, but this already meant that she was being sent here to die quickly so that Finality prepare to make her appearance.
Erosion actually thought she was doomed. She originally wanted to struggle a bit, but only a few seconds after she was born, the core of her own consciousness was already ripped out by Bai.
The poor child had already given up hope.
But Bai Ge not only didn't kill her, he also prepared a lovely new body for her and even hugged and stroked her so gently. The Herrscher of Corruption was completely dumbfounded and wondered why this human was so good to her.
However, she also Bai Ge.
Because she always conceded defeat upon appearing in each of the ten reincarnations, Bai Ge always treated her gently.
It can be said that, apart from Elysia and Seele, Himeko is the Herrscher that Bai has the most affection for in the Previous Civilization.
So he gave this little girl the best treatment.
Fried tofu, mini cakes, bubble tea, molten chocolate, macarons, instant noodles...
Bai Ge: "Choose what you like to eat. This is a reward for your abandonment of darkness and embrace of light. This body is also a reward. Although your original data virus is very convenient, it cannot enjoy delicious food."
Looking at the delicious food piled up in front of him, the new Herrscher wondered if it was a trap, but even so, tears still streamed down his face.
So after carefully taking a few bites...
Himeko: (I'm changing my name! From now on, I'm no longer the Herrscher of Corruption, my name is Himeko! Long live humanity! Long live the Savior! White Gate!!)
Although still controlled by the curse of Honkai, Himeko decided to switch sides at this moment.
Himeko: "I'm not familiar with Honkai or anything like that!"
Seeing the Herrscher wallowing in the food, crying tears of joy while devouring it, Bai Ge remained calm, having seen it several times before, but the other Flame-Chasers were all dumbfounded.
They had never seen Herrscher so easy to deal with!
Rin's expression was also subtle. After learning that she had been possessed by Herrscher, she thought she was going to die.
But looking at Himeko now, she thought, "That's it? This is what Herrscher is? She looks so harmless, so compliant."
"Eat as much as you want, there's more if you're not full."
"Thank you, thank you!"
With tears in her eyes, Himeko thanked them. As a pitiful child abandoned by the Honkai, she never expected to find the warmth of home on the enemy's side.
After hesitating for a moment, Himeko seemed to have mustered up her courage and grabbed Bai Ge's sleeve before speaking.
"Hey, you guys better run! The Herrscher of Finality is coming tomorrow, or it'll be too late."
"!!!"
Even Bai Ge was surprised this time.
Although it was information that was already known, the fact that Himeko was able to reveal it meant that she had truly betrayed the Honkai.
"Thank you, Himeko, but it's alright. We're already prepared for the Finality. If she shows up tomorrow, we'll show her what humans are capable of."
"No! Absolutely not! This time, this Honkai is serious! Because I was the last one to arrive, I have a vague feeling that besides the Finality... there are other terrifying things coming along this time!"
"Something else terrible?"
Bai Ge frowned upon hearing this.
This information has never appeared in previous cycles.
He thought to himself, "Could it be such a coincidence? Why is it that in this final cycle, Honkai is going to give the Finality a buff?"
"I don't know the specifics, but as long as you escape this planet, you'll be safe, so..."
Himeko covered her head with her hands, terrified.
As Herrscher before the Finality, she could sense the impending great terror, the destroyer of countless civilizations, Gods she could never defeat.
"It's okay, don't worry," Bai Ge said, patting her head.
"Huh?"
Himeko was stunned. The White Youth in front of her had regained his confidence, and the reliable aura he had cultivated through eleven acts of saving the world calmed her trembling body.
"Anyway, we have no worries now. The Herrscher of Finality is an extra bonus for us. We just need to do our best as long as there are no casualties, and..."
Bai Ge then placed the Fallen Gem into the Jizo Mitama.
Simultaneously using the power of the Herrscher of the Void, the gems are synchronously connected to the Void Archives.
The next second, an indescribably terrifying aura was released from Bai Ge's body, Himeko was dumbfounded. At this moment, she even thought that the person in front of her was the Herrscher of Finality.
