Changing Fate! Bai Ge Surpasses Aponia! (Continued)

Bai Ge slowly clenched his fist. He no longer intended to continue 'playing chess'. He wanted to find out his opponent's true colors and then smash his head in with his fist!

After all, he is no longer weak.

In the current timeline.

Kevin is still sealed in the Sea of Quantum, Durandal has not yet shown his true potential, the Scarlet Kite Immortal has lost much of his power, Otto's Schicksal Qi has not yet recovered, and the remaining Herrscher are still a long way from being born.

Therefore, whether it's Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, or World Serpent, Bai Ge now has enough power to make a move on them.

Once you know the enemy's name, all problems can be solved with pure violence!

However, the answer given by the system the next second made Bai Ge's pupils dilate instantly.

His enemies are not Otto, not Kevin, not the Honkai, and certainly not trash like Cocolia.

Rather, it is—[fate]!

[Host, you are fighting against fate, and fate is your true enemy!!!]

"..."

This answer left Bai Ge silent for a long time. Despite being so close to the flames, he felt as if he were in an extremely cold abyss, so cold that even his soul seemed to be frozen.

Fate—what an ethereal and elusive word.

No matter how tightly Bai Ge clenched his fist, or how sharp the War Scythe in his hand was, he couldn't make Bai Ge bleed or get hurt.

"System, explain in detail, in great detail. Tell me what fate is? Why is it against me?"

[Host, the X-10 experiment is the fate that Bronya Zaychik and Seele Fleur accept. It is the most important turning point in their lives, and an inescapable destiny.]

To give an analogy, it's like the movie "Steins;Gate" that you watched in your previous life. As long as you are in the Mayuri Shiina Alpha Worldline, no matter how much you struggle or try to escape, you will eventually face death.

And Chen Motong from "Dragon Raja 5," who was targeted by Odin's causal weapon Gungnir. Even if the protagonist saved/reloaded multiple times in the dream, he would not have escaped death unless a bug was found; he was destined to be pierced through the heart by that spear.

[Bronya and Seele are the same; fate has ordained them to participate in the X-10 experiment. Only in this way can they embark on their predetermined future. The world will spare no effort to interfere, and they cannot escape the corrective force of fate.]

Bang!!

Bai Ge crushed the armrest of the chair.

The way he gritted his teeth and spoke made him look like a madman who had been wrongfully imprisoned and was filled with anger and resentment.

Is there really no way to change this?

[Host, even if you know everything beforehand, you'll still be helpless when the time comes, with nowhere to escape or avoid it... It's precisely because of this irrationality that fate is called fate.]

Humans cannot change their fate.

Just like the [Discipline] Aponia among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers in the Honkai Impact 3rd Previous Civilization.

She possesses the ability to observe the threads of fate and know the future until the Finality. This Flame-Chasers can see the trajectory of all human destiny, and she has also tried to change these destinies, guiding them in a better direction.

However, Aponia's good intentions ultimately led to bad results; no matter how she tried, the outcome only got worse.

He wanted to save others, but ended up killing them instead, resulting in 410 tragedies in the Previous Civilization.

Everyone who changes their destiny will inevitably taste despair.

This is the "The Purgatory of Deep Sin".

"No, system, you're wrong!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Bai Ge roared.

"You said I'm immune to corrective influences, and that anything I change won't be affected by them! So why is it like this now? Why didn't I change Bronya and Seele's fate?!"

It is true that ordinary people cannot change their fate.

But Bai Ge is different. Perhaps it's because of the system, or perhaps it's because he doesn't belong to this world. The corrective power of fate can only have a negligible effect on him.

[Host, you have successfully made the change.]

"What?"

The system's response startled Bai Ge, who couldn't immediately understand its meaning.

Requesting flowers?

[You have indeed changed the fate of Bronya Zaychik and Seele Fleur, time and time again. You have successfully intercepted that inevitable ending a full 37 times, and the fact that they are both still safe and sound is the best proof of that.]

The system's tone carried a hint of admiration.

The corrective power of fate cannot truly affect a person.

Perhaps Bai Ge herself was unaware of it.

But he did indeed prevent it so many times, shattering what was destined to happen time and time again.

Normally, fate is irresistible. Even if a deviation occurs by a one in a billion chance, it can be corrected once and returned to its original direction.

That correction, which should have been absolutely irreversible, was prevented by Bai Ge 37 times on his own.

This is a feat that Aponia has never accomplished before.

[Host, as long as you are by Bronya Zaychik's and Seele 'Fleur side, the corrective force of fate cannot harm them. No matter how many times it tries to correct them, you can break the hand that fate extends.]

That's right. As long as Bai Ge is by the two women's side, they are safe. Only Bai Ge, who can ignore the corrective power of fate, can save them time and time again.

This is Miracle??? that only he could have accomplished.

This was a resistance that only he could mount.

However, Bai Ge's expression turned even uglier after hearing these words.

"As long as I'm by Bronya 'Seele side, they'll be safe and sound. But in other words... if I leave their side, will the corrective force of fate take effect?"

Yes, Master.

"Blanch!!"

... 0

Bai Ge took a deep breath to suppress his anxiety. He turned to look at the system interface and saw that he had less than five days left in this time and space.

He will return to the original timeline in five days.

Without his protection.

Bronya and Seele will no longer be able to resist their fate.

"Damn it! Isn't there some way to solve this once and for all? Why didn't I encounter such an unreasonable situation when I traveled through time during the Second Honkai Eruption? System, you have to explain this to me!"

[Host, you actually encountered a similar situation back then.]

"...What?"

Bai Ge blinked in surprise, wondering if he had encountered this before. How come he had no recollection of it at all?

[You unconsciously found and resolved this situation back then; the survival of Sirin and Cecilia is the best proof. This is already a 'game' you've played through once; please maintain your confidence.]

"Uh, how come I didn't know I was this awesome?" Bai Ge was stunned for a moment.

[You succeeded when the difficulty was much higher than this, so there shouldn't be any problems this time either.]

"Tongzi, are you sure? I'm well-read, so don't lie to me. Otherwise, I'll definitely find a way to install a bunch of virus software on you later, like Panda Burning Incense, Rainbow Cat, EternalBlue, and the like..."

Bai Ge pulled out a USB drive and threatened him.

This is a bunch of computer viruses he prepared a while ago when he and Raven were carrying out a mission to sabotage the target company's server... Unfortunately, the system can't find a place to insert them.

You're so cruel, please have mercy.

"Say something sooner if you have a solution next time. You scared me to death."

Knowing that he had the means and experience to fight back, Bai Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and even the conversation returned to its original style, starting to banter and tease each other in a nonchalant manner again.

Bai Ge then closed his eyes and recalled his experience of the Second Honkai Eruption, trying to remember the means by which he had unconsciously achieved the great feat of changing his fate.

A few minutes later, Bai Ge opened her eyes.

The anxiety I felt earlier has completely disappeared.

He curled his lips into a confident and relaxed smile.

"What? It's that simple."

[... This system believes it's actually quite difficult, at least for normal people, the difficulty level is extremely high in all aspects, especially psychologically.]

"Tongzi, you're so dramatic. You think this is difficult?"

Bai Ge stretched with a smile.

He stretched his limbs to the maximum extent, as if he had wiped away all the gloom from before.

The system stared silently at its host, thinking to itself, "Well, at least in terms of psychology, its host is indeed unusually positive and stable."

Although Bai Ge's physical age is nearly thirty, his stubborn personality makes him like a child who never grows up. No one can make him compromise on things he doesn't agree with, not even fate!

But that's precisely why.

Only this person can achieve that great feat of defying fate!

And it can also be foreseen.

System: (After this time travel ends, there will be several more women who love this person to the point of death. But go bravely, host! An endless battleground awaits your return in the original timeline!)

Bai Ge: "Achoo! Who's talking bad about me?"
