The Thousand-Person Herrscher Defeats the False God and Wins Freedom
Simply put, the idea is to trick the Imaginary Tree into giving you the power of a "false god," break free from its control, and then launch a counterattack against the Imaginary Tree!
"Your strength is already terrifying, and after becoming a false god, you will gain infinite power. Only by using the Herrscher of the Void's [Imaginary Renormalization] can you make it finite."
"Only after defeating you can you break free from the control of the Imaginary Tree and go to the Imaginary Tree's true form, so..."
Otto smiled and gestured for Bai Ge to quickly reveal his weaknesses; he couldn't wait to hear them.
Bai Ge's eyes twitched as he suppressed the urge to manipulate the guy's body and make him strangle himself.
"I don't even know my own weaknesses."
"Um, Your Excellency Savior, this is a very important point, please don't joke around."
"Tsk! I really don't know... Never mind, you help me look for it, that's about all I can do."
Since he was going to drag this bastard down with him anyway, Bai Ge had no more worries and wrote down his current abilities in detail in a book and gave it to the guy.
To be honest, he was also quite curious about his weaknesses, so he hoped Otto could help him analyze them so that he could address them in a targeted way in the future.
"..."
Otto stared dumbfounded at the brick-thick book in his hands, quickly flipped through a few pages, and was completely dumbfounded.
Tens of thousands of Honkai Beast abilities, twelve Herrscher Authority, Artificial Herrscher Form, quantumization abilities, basic time abilities, Schariac Stigmata, Kaslana Stigmata, Herrscher of Death Stigmata, the Mark of Salvation, the Mark of Eternity, the abilities of the Paragon, the twelve God Keys...
How could it possibly have any weaknesses?!
Even if Bai Ge stood still and let his strongest trump card Durandal, pierce through the Stars, he probably wouldn't lose!
"You... you've gone too far."
Otto said, feeling ashamed.
With so many abilities, there is absolutely no blind spot.
He began to truly believe what Void Archives had said: the reason the Current Civilization was able to be born was not because Bai Ge couldn't defeat the Herrscher of Finality, but because he deliberately let the Herrscher of Finality go.
"Well, it's alright. If it really comes down to a fight, there are actually two guys who are capable of beating me."
Bai Ge shook his head, indicating that he was still a little bit away from being the strongest and invincible.
"Who? I'll go and fetch them right now!" Otto said without hesitation, though surprised.
"Planet-Level Honkai Beast and Herrscher of Finality."
"... Okay, please pretend I didn't say anything."
Otto's face darkened. He truly hadn't expected that the plan would be ruined because the opponent was too strong. With that kind of strength, even a Sea of Quantum could easily slaughter everyone in the Current Civilization.
However, Bai was not worried at all.
"It's alright, I'll have a way of handling it when the time comes."
"Oh? You have an idea?"
"Of course, isn't the answer obvious? The only one in this world who can truly defeat me is myself."
Bai Ge's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that a fierce Tataka match was waiting for him, although... he would have to go all out to hold back.
Otto raised an eyebrow, as if he understood something, and immediately smiled, thinking that he was about to witness an extraordinary battle.
The day after everything was ready.
Otto officially announced to the world that he would be resigning from his position as Bishop of Schicksal and passing the bishopric to his granddaughter, Theresa Apocalypse.
Such news naturally caused a great uproar, and soon the Hyperion warship, carrying St. Freya and the Anti-Entropy group, arrived at the Floating Island of Schicksal.
"Grandpa, what are you up to now!"
Theresa and the others stared at Otto with extreme vigilance.
In their view, Otto could not have issued such a resignation announcement without a reason. After all, he had been the Bishop of Schicksal for five hundred years, and there must be something fishy about his sudden resignation now.
There might be a tough battle ahead.
However, Otto smiled and shook his head.
"No, this time it really isn't. I am about to witness Miracle???, to witness a person transcending infinity, going to the other side of time, and changing the world."
"My resignation is serious, but it is also to bring you here to witness with me...the birth of God!"
Of course, Gray Serpent and Jackal were also present.
As Bai Ge's subordinates, both of them were informed of the situation in advance. After hearing the entire plan, Gray Serpent and Jackal remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
Jackal: "Gray Serpent, do you think we should stop the Lord? Does it have to be this way? It's too dangerous!"
Gray Serpent: "... I don't know, but I will obey the Lord's decision, because this Lord has never made a mistake. Although the Lord always says that everything he does is out of selfishness, I only know that this Lord always saves the world."
Otto: "Yes, and his will will never change. As part of the world he saved, all you can do is be grateful and remember him. And now... the moment of ascension to godhood has arrived!"
Boom--!!
Accompanied by an explosion of extremely high concentrations of Honkai Energy that turned the entire sky gold, on the Schicksal Island of Destiny, which Otto had offered as the stage for the descent of a false god.
A false god possessing the power of the Eleventh Herrscher is born!
Bai Ge: "Drink up—!"
First, a vast God's Grace Barrier appeared.
After connecting to the Will of Honkai (Prometheus) with the Herrscher Core, Bai Ge successfully gained the support of the Honkai and became the Eleventh Herrscher of the Current Civilization, the Herrscher of Binding.
He also connected to the Imaginary Tree, becoming a false god.
However, while gaining power, Bai Ge also fell under the control of the Imaginary Tree. If no one defeats (liberates) him at this point, the world will undoubtedly face its end.
Before facing the power of the false god, we must stop his God's Grace Barrier, which will soon envelop the planet!
As for the person capable of doing such a thing, the person who could be an enemy of a savior like Bai Ge... of course, it could only be himself!
Qianlu Bai Ge: "Oath of Judas - Zero Rated Power Release! God's Grace Barrier! Cancel it out!"
The second God's Grace Barrier appeared on the Floating Island Schicksal. The two barriers collided and canceled each other out.
Ultimately, it transformed into a shower of golden light, adding a touch of sanctity and splendor to the battlefield.
At this moment, everyone who was unaware of the situation was shocked, because they saw thousands of White Youth confronting another version of him.
Bai Ge: "Very good! That's it! But the main course is coming up. Don't let me, who has lent you all my powers, abilities, and the God Keys, be unable to defeat you even when I'm left with only the power of a pseudo-god! The 1001st me!"
Qianlu Bai Ge: "Of course! Watch us liberate you/me from the control of the Imaginary Tree, and... having myself as your opponent is truly exhilarating!"
On the plaza of the Schicksal Floating Island.
Bai Ge is making one thousand and one versions of himself his enemy.
Since you can't find anyone strong enough to defeat you anywhere in the world, then you might as well defeat yourself!
Bai Ge created 1001 clones of himself using 1001 cores of the Herrscher of the Thousand.
He then temporarily entrusted all his Honkai Beast abilities, Herrscher Authority, Stigmata, and God Keys to these clones, before completely severing his connection with their cores.
In this way, he obtained 1001 versions of himself that could serve as opponents! Even though the clones would be much weaker after their abilities were dispersed, the advantage of numbers was still there!
Moreover, ordinary people might worry about their clones betraying them, but Bai Ge doesn't have such worries because the clones' will is the same as his original body's, both wanting to break this tragic cycle!
So...
False God Bai Ge: "Come and fight! Let's make the world what we want it to be! Let's move forward the time that has stood still!"
A thousand people Bai Ge: "Fight! To make the world what we want it to be! To end this final cycle!"
This is the third update. Please give me flowers, votes, and rewards. I'll finish the tree-climbing challenge tomorrow, and at most, the Previous Civilization tomorrow.
Chapter 380: A Thousand Men Defeat the False God and Regain Their Freedom (Please Submit)
Bai Ge felt the [infinite] power within his body.
After establishing a link with the Imaginary Tree, he truly reached that level.
An endless torrent of imaginary numbers flowed within his body, and parts of the world seemed to become controllable.
Although Bai Ge also paid the price for this great power, at this moment his neck was encircled by an invisible collar from the Imaginary Tree.
However, he can still maintain his complete self, only his actions are controlled. But if this is the price to pay for the power that can be called a "false god", then countless people would be eager to learn about it.
Bai Ge looked at himself, one thousand and one times.
"Annihilation returns to this place, and a new star has been born from it. This power belongs neither to mortals nor to the Herrscher. It is the original form of the Imaginary Authority, the embodiment of the truth of the vast world. So be careful, at this very moment—I have ascended to godhood!!"
Black divine wings unfurled behind him, and imaginary black hands were powerful enough to tear through space. The Imaginary Seed transformed into a golden divine halo that hovered behind him, continuously releasing the power of a pseudo-god.
Then a strange substance, resembling both metal and bone, covered Bai Ge's body, transforming it into his pseudo-god form.
Like an angel fallen to hell, his mere presence seemed to become the center of the world, while a golden mask covered his handsome face.
This is the "False God" Bai Ge.
The eyes of the thousand Bai Ge twitched slightly; this familiar sense of oppression reminded them of the Herrscher of Finality.
"Hey, the surrounding space has changed!"
The thousand Bai Ge who were searching for and observing the form of the [False God] discovered that the space they were in had changed, and they were no longer on the Floating Island of Schicksal.
Instead, it was a space similar to the Eternal Paradise. Everyone quickly realized that this was Imaginary Space created by the power of a false god, created based on Bai Ge's mental landscape.
