Kiana: I'll Never Let You Leave Again!

Bai Ge sighed deeply and took off the mask from his face.

"!!!"

Kiana's eyes widened, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, tears streamed down her face.

"Am I dreaming, Bai Ge? I've finally seen you again!" Kiana could no longer contain her excitement and rushed into Bai Ge's arms.

Amidst her cries and tears, Bai Ge clearly sensed her emotions and reached out to hug her.

"Could you say that to me again?" Kiana pleaded, her voice trembling with tears.

"Of course, Ich-liebe-Dich, Kiana," Bai Ge said without hesitation.

Regardless of the era or time period.

These are words that Bai Ge would only say to Kiana.

Upon hearing these words, Kiana finally smiled with joy. These were the magical incantations she had once thought she would never hear again, and she hugged them even tighter.

Unable to refuse Kiana's invitation, Bai Ge was dragged to the Hyperion Battleship, where he met Mei, Bronya, Himeko, Seele, and everyone else.

Unsurprisingly, this caused a huge uproar.

Although it felt good to be welcomed, Bai hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

"I am indeed Bai Ge, the real Bai Ge, but I am more special to you. Simply put, I am from another timeline, the one who achieved the best ending."

Everyone: "???"

Everyone looked confused when they heard him say that.

Bai Ge couldn't help but think that if a certain Bishop of Schicksal were present, he would be incredibly excited, because his existence would be proof that Otto Apocalypse had fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

The person who was supposed to have died survived in another timeline, which is exactly what Otto aimed for Imaginary Tree. He wanted Kallen Kaslana to survive in another timeline!

However, Bai Ge had already surpassed his ideal at this moment.

Because he even came to this timeline.

If Otto knew about this, he would definitely do everything he could to find out how he did it.

His goal was simply to keep Kallen Kaslana alive in another timeline, but if he could bring the Saintess from another timeline over, that would be an even more ambitious and better outcome!

"So, you're not our Bai Ge?"

Kiana asked, her face pale.

"If this were a normal parallel world, then I would indeed not be your Bai Ge, but this world is a little different."

Bai Ge raised his hand and ruffled Kiana's hair as he spoke.

This is not a parallel world in nature, but a parallel world born from his foul play.

To put it simply, Bai Ge is like driving a train called the Previous Civilization, but now the train has gone off the tracks and ended up on a muddy road.

To ensure the train could continue running normally, a railway worker named World created a new track in the direction he was heading, and this track is what is now this parallel world.

Therefore, it is different from other naturally occurring parallel worlds.

This world was born based on Bai Ge's actions, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is the origin of this parallel world.

The evidence is that the Previous Civilization history created by Bai Ge has indeed become the history of this parallel world.

The many arrangements he left for the Current Civilization of his Prime World have also appeared in the Current Civilization of this parallel world.

And those four parallel Bai Ge moments can, in a sense, be seen as the world's copy of him.

Bai Ge: (After all, even though it wasn't copied into the system, an ordinary person with no abilities wouldn't be able to become the Herrscher of the Void and wear the Void Archives.)

System: (But it seems the strength replication was terrible. If you had your full strength, you wouldn't have died even without me... Perhaps this is fate's doing. But it's understandable, since a dead host is most beneficial to fate.)

Fate doesn't care whether the girls' ending is a happy-end or a bad-end; it just wants to follow its own original script and complete all the processes.

However, Bai Ge's existence has repeatedly disrupted its original script, forcing it to make factual adjustments based on Bai's actions.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal for Fate to want to kill Bai. After all, once he's dead, no one can change the script, and everything will proceed according to the game's plot, leaving no stone unturned!

In short, the situation of Kiana and the others in this world can be said to be equivalent to Bai Ge saving them again at the cost of sacrificing himself, without his knowledge.

But as I said before, there's not much difference, since what he did in his Prime World was pretty much the same.

"Oh, I see. You're Bai Ge. That's wonderful."

After reaching this conclusion, the women all smiled, but those smiles quickly turned sour, because...

"Bai Ge, you're planning to leave after this, aren't you?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Alright... everyone grab the rope and tie him up!"

· ······Requesting flowers····· ·

The girls, with slightly sickly smiles, used ropes that seemed to have been prepared beforehand to tie up Bai. He was then surrounded by the girls, and his hands, shoulders, and other areas were tightly held down by their slender hands.

Someone important to you, whom you once lost, comes back to life.

How could they allow Bai Ge to leave!

Now, Kiana, Mei, Bronya and the others have only one thought in their minds: to keep this person here forever, and to never let him leave them again, no matter what means they have to use!

"How about we keep him locked in that dark room forever?"

"Don't worry, Bai Ge, we will treat you well."

"Everything will be alright now, we won't be separated anymore."

Seeing the women's eyes turn red, Bai's eyes twitched violently, realizing he was in deep trouble.

"Um, isn't this a bit inappropriate? My funeral has already been held four times, hasn't it? Everyone, please calm down!"

"Calm down? How are you expecting us to calm down!"

"I've had enough of the world without you."

"This time, we will never let you leave again!"

When Bai Ge saw the women's eyes, which seemed to want to devour him, he realized he had made a mistake. He really shouldn't have revealed his identity! Now he was doomed in another sense!

At the same time, he thought to himself that he should really pay more attention to his own safety in the future, because Kiana, Mei, Bronya in front of him could be said to be another side of the three main characters from the Prime World.

The other side of her after being saved by him and losing him.

Bai Ge: "Hey~ I guess I'll have to think of something."

The workload has increased again.

Originally, Bai Ge only wanted to obtain the power of the Herrscher of Dominion and then return to the Previous Civilization 50,000 years later through the Imaginary Tree.

He wanted to turn back this train that had gone astray and get it back on its original route, but... things are different now. He must properly handle the women in this world.

After all, it was both terrifying and pitiful. To them, Bai Ge was now like a resurrection. If he were to leave again later, it would be an unimaginable blow.

He quickly came up with an idea.

"I'm sorry everyone, I can't stay in this world forever. I have people to save, a home to return to, and a future to move forward. My time... has been stagnant for a very long time. It's time to let it move forward."

"... Bai Ge, but for us, we only want this moment of your existence to become eternal."

"Okay, I understand. So, would you all like to come with me? This is the only way I can think of right now. If it's that 'tree,' it can achieve the best outcome."

In an instant, the best, and perhaps only, method flashed into Bai Ge's mind. What he needed to do remained unchanged: to rush up that Imaginary Tree.

That is the law governing the universe, the mystery of the cycle of life, the place where all essences and origins are formed, the eternal moment, the origin of the end, the birthplace of all truths and laws—this is the Imaginary Tree!

If Bai Ge can reach that place, he will have grasped the pen that allows him to arbitrarily rewrite the rules, and the world will change because of him at that moment.

At least the moment his hand touches the Imaginary Tree, he will become a god who can do anything, even... a god who transcends the Honkai in the true sense!

"Okay! Although I don't know exactly what you plan to do, Bai Ge, let's do it your way."

"Uh, you agreed too readily. Shouldn't we all reconsider? This is quite a big deal."

Bai Ge looked at Kiana and the others with surprise.

The women agreed without even a moment's hesitation. He had thought that even if they liked him a lot, they would at least hesitate for a few minutes.

"Didn't we say that we've had enough of this world without you?"

"... Alright, it's settled then."

Bai Ge nodded seriously. He knew he had underestimated the feelings of the women, and immediately made up his mind that he was determined to break through the Imaginary Tree.

Moreover, he has more to accomplish, so he cannot use Otto's method of charging down trees.

But...

(Eh~ I was just thinking about cherishing life, but it seems I'll still have to go through with this again. But it's not a big problem. I'm still in the process of time travel, so even if I die, the system will protect me, and I won't really die.)

Bai Ge shook his head with a wry smile, thinking to himself that he couldn't tell anyone else about this.

"Speaking of cherishing life, it's surprisingly difficult, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all... if I want to create an ending that's never been done before, I have to do things that's never been done before. That's the truth of the world!"

Bai Ge's gaze turned towards the direction of Schicksal.

"Now it's your turn, Otto. Are you ready to repent? It's time for you to pay your debts."
