"At that time, humanity will be able to defeat the Honkai, and for that I need you, I need your Hearth Home to provide some help."

"I know that Mr. Bai Ge has been dedicated to adopting and saving children who have lost their parents due to the Honkai, but as long as this experiment succeeds, there will never be such children in this world again. You should understand the meaning and value of this statement!"

After Cocolia finished speaking, the entire Hearth Home fell silent. The girls, unable to understand what the woman meant, all looked at Bai Ge.

It sounds like a meaningful and good thing. Although they don't know exactly what it is, they would agree without hesitation if their Bai Ge Dad, wanted to do it.

However, Bai Ge's response was sharp and resolute.

Clang!

Before he knew it, the War Scythe was already in his hand.

Cocolia hadn't even realized what was happening yet.

The next second, she was horrified to find that a deadly glint of light was pressed against her throat.

"Hmph, hmph~ That sounds nice, but what you're really saying is that you want me to send the child to you for human experimentation, right? Cocolia, do you fucking want to die?"

"The second thing I hate most in this life is human experimentation! The first thing I hate is someone plotting against someone important to me. You've committed both of those things, you really have guts."

"Defeat the Honkai? Laughable! You think you can? You should know your own limitations. What are you anyway?"

But he's just a self-important clown.

They also wanted to accomplish the great task of saving the world.

Bai Ge told him not to be so arrogant.

"Tsk, fine, I guess I'll just kill you then."

Bai Ge said that he was about to swing his War Scythe down, and the next second he would cut off this beautiful head.

Cocolia was so frightened that she almost lost her mind and hurriedly called for the Titan Mecha.

At that time, Anti-Entropy did not yet have quantum technology. Although the technology of stealth coating was not weak, it was impossible to perfectly hide something as big as Titan.

With Bai Ge's current strength, how could he not sense it?

Bang!

He immediately raised his left hand and, to Cocolia's horrified expression, caught the Titan's steel fist with his bare hands.

The next second, with just the strength of his fingers, he ripped off the Titan's arm, and the War Scythe in his hand flashed with a cold light, slicing it in two like a hot knife through butter.

"Oh, right, Mother Fox, I heard you also started an orphanage. Now tell me, how are the children in your orphanage doing now? Huh?"

Bai Ge suddenly questioned Cocolia.

"Goo-hoo, them, they..."

Cocolia stammered and her expression changed.

"Tell me, they all became your test subjects, right? What a shameless woman. After ruining her own children, she wanted to ruin other people's children, and she did it with such a high-sounding tone, as if she was doing it for the whole world."

"..."

Bai Ge's words left Cocolia speechless, her face turning ashen, even though she had prepared many lines of speech before coming.

But Ren Cocolia never expected that Bai Ge's favorability towards her was already negative before they even met. Moreover, as a captain of Honkai Impact 3rd, he knew all too well what kind of person this vixen was.

Ambitious, but incompetent.

But most importantly, they have no self-awareness.

The love for their children may be genuine.

But if given enough benefits, this woman, though feeling guilty, would not hesitate to put her children on the testing platform.

"What? You really think I know nothing? You think you can defeat the Honkai with that so-called X-10 experiment? I don't even know how to laugh at you."

Bai Ge really wanted to ask her where she put the Stigmata Project's reputation. If it were that easy to give everyone in the world perfect Honkai Energy resistance, then Honkai would be too easy to conquer.

Bai Ge: "You know nothing about Honkai."

Moreover, he knew that the X-10 experiment was not a project developed by Cocolia's department; there was an 80% or higher chance that it was a project plan provided by World Serpent.

After all, when Bai Ge first looked at the setting, something just didn't seem right. It was supposed to give all of humanity resistance to Honkai Energy, but what was the result? In the end, the only visible result was that individuals who succeeded in the experiment could manipulate Honkai Energy at the quantum level.

Bai Ge strongly suspected that this female fox had been fooled by the World Serpent / Gray Serpent. This X-10 plan looked more like a scheme to retrieve Kevin from the Sea of Quantum.

After all, the Abyss Flower of the Previous Civilization ruins is currently unusable, Second Divine Key: Thousand Worlds of Chariots, has also been sealed by Su. Therefore, it is quite difficult for the World Serpent to retrieve Kevin from the Sea of Quantum.

The X-10 experiment was probably World Serpent's attempt at this.

However, the snake still needs to lie low for now and needs someone to try it out on its behalf, and Cocolia is that person.

Sure enough, what happened next proved Bai Ge's idea to be correct, just as his War Scythe was about to cut the mother fox's breast in two.

"My friend, you have such an impatient personality."

"Wow~ The main character is showing off his skills."

"No, no, no, I am merely Cocolia's partner. Please have mercy, Mr. Bai Ge."

Suddenly, a black figure appeared, using himself as a shield to block Bai Ge's attack.

He was wearing a black hoodie with green lines on it and the word "" on the right hem.

At the same time, this person's limbs and eyes are all bionic prosthetics, and he is wearing a white mask that only reveals his right eye, with a black pattern of two intersecting daggers on the mask.

Even though Bai Ge's War Scythe had already pierced his body, as a cyborg who was probably comparable to Adam's hammer, he seemed to feel no pain at all and still greeted Bai Ge 'very politely'.

He is a cadre of the World Serpent, Gray Serpent!

"Gray Serpent, you've come to help me?!"

When Cocolia saw her partner appear, she was overjoyed, feeling that there was still hope to get Bai Ge to agree.

However...

"Help you? No, of course not. Cocolia, I'm here to stop you." Gray Serpent denied it on the spot.

"But our plan..."

"Enough, Cocolia. This Mr. Bai Ge will never agree to the X-10 project. You almost died just now."

The mechanical eyes of the Gray Serpent flashed red, as if it were glaring at Cocolia.

He really didn't want to come and save this stupid woman. After all, although he, Gray Serpent, had many, many clones, the creator of which was Mobius, who had a transcendent understanding of death.

But...

Not being afraid of death doesn't mean you want to die.

There was no need to repair this body, which had already been nearly cleaved in two by Bai Ge's War Scythe; it could only be scrapped.

However, the World Serpent cannot yet take center stage. Before their Lord Kevin returns from the Sea of Quantum, they do not yet have enough confidence to face the other forces of the Current Civilization.

Cocolia, the Anti-Entropy Executive, holds a high position but is also stupid, making her easy to fool and manipulate. In Gray Serpent's eyes, she still has considerable value as a pawn.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't have bothered saving this stupid woman.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Bai Ge. Please believe me, if possible, I would very much like to maintain a friendly relationship with you."

"Hmph, Gray Serpent, your taste in choosing a partner is really terrible. You picked such a stupid woman."

"Ahem, you're right, but sometimes circumstances don't allow us to make better choices."

Gray Serpent kept a low profile, and Bai Ge expressionlessly pulled the War Scythe from his body.

In fact, the two sides had been in contact for a long time. After all, Gray Serpent was Raven's superior and even teacher, Bai, as the latter's partner, naturally attracted his attention.

However, when Gray Serpent found Bai Ge, it didn't mention the X-10 plan to him. Instead, it directly invited Bai to join the World Serpent Organization.

As expected, Bai Ge refused.

He must have lost his mind to join some World Serpent.

Isn't the life of being all lovey-dovey with my girls right now wonderful enough? Although the Elysian Realm is something I really want to go to, Bai Ge is also clear about the purpose of this time travel.

Ultimately, his goal wasn't to save any memory data, but to one day go to the Previous Civilization and rescue all Thirteen Flame-Chasers.

After all, even though the embers are dazzling and beautiful enough, they are still not as perfect as the original body. Since the decision has been made to save it, then of course we should do our best to eliminate the regret itself.

"Alright, I'll do this once for your sake. Take this woman and get out of here."

"Gray Serpent, do you really intend to just leave it like this..."

"Cocolia, give up. This Mr. Bai Ge is not one of us, especially the complete opposite of you. If there is a next time, no one can kill you."

"What?!"

"For Mr. Bai Ge, he cares more about the girls he has adopted than about saving the world and defeating the Honkai."

"That's what the Gray Serpent said with absolute certainty."

He had previously contacted Bai Ge through Raven, invited him, and had some brief exchanges with him, ultimately concluding that they could not walk the same path.

Because they care about completely opposite things.

World Serpent is an organization established to help humanity defeat the Honkai, and it doesn't care what the cost is.

Even sacrificing humanity itself is acceptable as long as it enables humanity to overcome the Honkai.

But Bai Ge is different. He seems to only care about the girls he adopted. If he had to choose between the world and Bronya and the others, he would choose the latter without hesitation, even if it meant sacrificing the world.

At least that's how he is in this time and space!
