I'm Here to Take You Away from This False World
She kissed the boy in front of her.
"I like you, Bai Ge, no, I... I've fallen in love with you."
"Really? Ugh~ I already told you not to fall for me by accident."
"No matter how careful I am, it's no use. How could I not fall in love with you now? Thank you for coming into my life."
Looking at Kallen, whose eyes were full of love, Bai Ge kissed the Saintess's pink lips again, accepting her feelings.
Otto, who was still alive not far away, watched helplessly as the two kissed. At that moment, he had an impulse to just run into the Spear of the Void and end it all.
(Unexpectedly, this virtual personality of Kallen actually developed a real will and self. The probability of such Miracle??? happening is probably less than one in ten million.)
Otto's feelings were complicated. In a way, this could be considered the rebirth of the Saintess. If he had discovered her existence earlier, he would have protected her.
But it was too late...
(She's now a Saintess who belongs only to Bai Ge, it's really... making me envious and jealous.)
Otto watched with bitterness as Kallen and Bai Ge embraced and kissed, their faces beaming with happiness, his hands unconsciously clenching.
Anger? Resentment? Neither!
At this moment, he felt nothing but envy and jealousy, but he had never envied anyone to such an extent in his entire life.
"Bai Ge, Otto Apocalypse pays you the highest tribute. You have accomplished what he could not do five hundred years ago. You have saved your Saintess."
"I don't need your respect, Otto, but I will take you as a warning: the one I love will never end in tragedy," Bai Ge said with unwavering determination.
Otto felt as if he had seen something dazzling, and he couldn't help but think that if this White Youth had been born five hundred years ago, he would surely have been able to prevent his mistakes.
He immediately made up his mind again.
No matter the cost, I must create a world where the Saintess can live through the Imaginary Tree.
But before that.
"In that case, Bai Ge, let me see how you choose to face this final test."
Second update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips!

"Let me see how you choose in this final test, Bai Ge."
"What, Otto, are you trying to cause trouble again?"
Bai Ge frowned slightly. The Spear of the Void pierced Otto's neck a little. He was already considering whether it would be better to cut the guy into pieces or simply feed him to Tian Shi.
I'm just worried that Tian Shi might get a stomachache if he eats something dirty.
Sensing the undisguised killing intent in the Golden Eyes, Otto broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his hands and took a few steps back, indicating his surrender.
"Ahem! Rather than saying I want to cause trouble, it's more accurate to say this is a choice presented to you by this virtual world. But with your intelligence, Bai Ge, you'll understand soon enough."
"..."
Bai Ge raised an eyebrow. He closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings. With the power of the Azure Wind Herrscher, Thousand Winds became his eyes and ears, helping him to explore all the information in this world.
The result of this perception is tranquility.
After Kallen overcame her destined death, the virtual world remained unchanged; time continued to move forward without any abnormalities.
"Nothing's wrong, could this be...?"
"Oh? You thought of that so quickly."
Otto was slightly surprised, then a smug smile appeared on his lips as he explained the choices this world presented to Bai Ge to the bewildered Kallen.
"This is a world where everything is reset based on the trigger point of [Kallen's death]. Bai Ge, although you helped the Saintess overcome her own destiny of death and allowed her to move towards the future."
But you yourself are trapped in this virtual world.
Simply put, the logout button is gone.
Because Kallen Kaslana is immortal, this virtual world will continue to develop, perhaps until the day she dies of old age, at which point it will reset and begin its cycle of reincarnation.
During this process, Bai Ge and Otto's consciousness will also be trapped in this virtual world, unable to return to reality.
"How so!!"
Kallen found it hard to accept that the price she paid for gaining a future was that Bai Ge would be trapped in this fake world.
The joy she had just experienced in overcoming death had vanished. Kallen stepped forward and grabbed Otto's collar tightly, pressing him with urgent questions.
"How can I get Bai Ge out of this world! Tell me now! Or I'll smash Judah in your face!"
"..."
Otto gave a helpless, bitter smile. He was certain that the Saintess before him had completely despised him, and he couldn't help but sigh regretfully as he replied.
"It's very simple, just activate the cycle of reincarnation. 480"
"What?"
"At the moment the cycle begins, this virtual world will reset to its initial state, but the reset will take some time, and this time is the only chance to leave this world."
The reset cycle in this virtual world is different from Bai Ge's cycle in the Previous Civilization era.
He had turned back time to the beginning.
However, the reset cycle in this virtual world is "reload the save and start over". The old world that the three are currently in will be directly deleted/destroyed, and then the new world will load the save and replace it.
Only when the old world is deleted will outsiders like Bai Ge have the opportunity to leave.
However, the condition for activating the cycle reset is...
"My... death."
Kallen gave this answer in a daze.
"That's right. So if you don't die, Saintess, Bai Ge will be trapped in this world. But if you choose to die, you will be trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation. The fate you finally overcame will bind you tightly again."
Otto shrugged, then looked expectantly in Bai Ge's direction; this really was his last resort.
Although it is terrible, it must be very effective.
Because Otto Apocalypse knew very well that the boy named Bai Ge would never kill the one he loved, and that brilliant humanity was his only and greatest weakness.
If Bai Ge prevents Kallen from dying, thus trapping himself in this virtual world forever, then he will have essentially achieved his goal.
As for his choice to let Kallen die...
Otto found himself unable to imagine Bai Ge making this choice, because it was absolutely impossible.
"To pull this stunt at the very end, you really are an unprecedented bastard, you shill."
"Haha, this wasn't something I designed on purpose, but rather the result of your own actions. To be honest, I also feel quite sorry for you, but fate is so cruel. There aren't many perfect things in this world."
"I will decide my own destiny."
Bai Ge spoke without changing his expression, Otto was surprised to find that those Golden Eyes did not waver in the slightest.
The fool was unaware that the boy before him had been facing choices from fate for a long time: to save or to give up, to sacrifice or to survive, to move forward or to stop.
Bai Ge has made these unreasonable choices many times. The worst time was with that Pink Fairy Lady. If he chose to save her, it would be equivalent to giving up the Current Civilization. If he didn't save her, then Bai Ge would lose Elysia forever.
However, precisely because of her extensive experience, Bai Ge also found a way to deal with it, which is... not to choose any of them!
Adults should choose everything!
If there isn't one, then create that option yourself!
But at that very moment...
"I'm sorry, Bai Ge, I don't want to go back to that endless cycle of death. I'm fed up with the recurring death. I want to live, and to live, I'm even willing to kill you, so..."
With trembling hands, Kallen picked up the Oath of Judas and pointed one of its golden spears at Bai Ge.
She poured out her despair.
She expressed her longing.
She really didn't want to die anymore.
This despair, accumulated over tens of thousands of reincarnations, is so real, so sad, so pitiful, that even Kallen's betrayal of Bai Ge seems perfectly normal.
After all, it was just a two-day romance. If it could be exchanged for an unlimited future, then anyone would choose the latter.
However, when she was about to meet Bai Ge's disappointed gaze...
What I saw was the same calm as always.
"It's so fake, even the shill next to me doesn't believe it."
"Ahem! Bai Ge said was really too much."
"What? You have a problem with that? Or should I go ask Welt and Tesla later and see what they think?"
"Oh, this is really unnecessary..."
Otto shuddered; he didn't want to witness the stars shatter, and the feeling of being disintegrated by Pseudo Black Hole was unpleasant.
Bai snorted coldly, and then several Spear of the Void attacked Otto from behind, impaling him like a hedgehog on the ground without killing him, especially in a thick-skinned area where several spears were stuck.
"Hey! Don't ignore me, I said I'm going to kill you!"
Kallen stomped her foot to make her presence known.
