Chapter 1078

However, such overly happy retribution really made the girl's mood complicated.

Cecilia thought she couldn't continue traveling, but Bai Ge ignored her will without a word.

He took her through one city after another by force. This indeed made Cecilia feel very troubled, yet the journey itself was so happy, making her feel colorful and wonderful every day.

This was a freedom forced upon her.

It was also a happiness forced upon her.

It felt like during the New Year, when you clearly wanted to refuse the red envelope handed over by an elder in the family, but the other party wouldn't agree, and in the end, it was forced upon you anyway.

Of course, this journey was definitely not peaceful.

Schicksal's pursuit happened more than ten times every day.

But now...

"Bai Ge, how many people have been captured by you?"

"I stopped counting after two hundred."

"Ah this, Otto... Bishop Otto is really persistent."

Cecilia quickly changed her words. Since she had been with Bai Ge for a long time, she was almost led to call him Otto the Dog too.

Over these four days, Schicksal attacked more than ten times a day, each time dispatching one or several Valkyrie squads, but the result was that all of them were counter-killed and captured alive by Bai Mouren.

Three A-rank Valkyries, dozens of B-rank Valkyries, over a hundred C-rank Valkyries. No matter what tactical strategy Schicksal used, Bai Ge could solve it with one Seven Thunders of Retribution.

In fact, he didn't even need to use the Seven Thunders of Retribution, but this was also to make a certain Otto misjudge his strength.

To make Otto think that Bai Ge's strength was actually at a level that could be challenged, and then come over to send heads one after another.

Now even the cyborg Valkyrie Amber, which was Otto's secretary, had been captured by Bai Ge.

And last night, he even did this and that to her.

In short, everything was under Bai Ge's control.

No one could stop their dating trip; not only Otto couldn't, but probably even God couldn't.

In this journey, Cecilia gained happiness that all her past life experiences combined couldn't compare to.

She was the heroine/hostage of Bai Ge for these four days, although she was also a bit like a pet tied with a chain.

And Cecilia was already convinced.

She probably really had fallen in love with Bai Ge.

This white-haired youth who suddenly broke into her life took her to experience unprecedented adventures, took her to feel the beauty of this world, and let Cecilia know what happiness was.

It would be strange if she didn't fall in love with Bai Ge!

But...

This journey had come to an end here. The scenery before her was their terminal station. Crystal tears spilled from Cecilia's eyes uncontrollably, and she tugged at Bai Ge's clothes reluctantly.

"Tell me, Cecilia, are you willing to leave Schicksal, give up being a Valkyrie, and come with me?"

Bai Ge stared at the girl before him with burning eyes, looking forward to her answer.

Cecilia trembled all over from the agitation. Even hidden under two crystals, the white-haired youth's sincere gaze was still conveyed to her clearly.

As long as she held Bai Ge's hand right now.

She could make this beautiful dream last forever.

But...

"I don't know... I want to go with you, Bai Ge... I want this journey to continue, but... should I really give up being a Valkyrie, give up Schicksal... I don't know."

"Eh~ alright, it seems you're still confused. Since that's the case... then forget it~"

Bai Ge said, lifting the 【Commandment】.

Sensing the disappearance of the restraint, Cecilia's eyes widened slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable with regaining her freedom.

"I won't stop you this time."

"Bai... Ge..."

"But you will regret it, Cecilia. I can tell you for sure that you will never have this seven days of happiness in the future. I won't take you out to play again."

Bai Ge said, taking off his mask.

That flawless face, so perfect that even the beautiful sunset scenery before them seemed dim and dull, was revealed to Cecilia for the first time, impacting the girl's heart.

Cecilia looked at Bai Ge blankly, as if she had even forgotten to breathe. For a moment, she even felt a bit of resentment.

Thinking this person was really mean-spirited.

During this week's journey, she was taken by Bai Ge to see countless beautiful sceneries, yet he had kept the most beautiful scenery hidden with a mask until now to show her.

"Bai Ge, are you angry? Do you not want me anymore..."

Cecilia raised her hand to stroke his cheek, as carefully as if touching the most precious art in the world.

"No choice, a forced melon isn't sweet. Since you don't want to come with me, Cecilia, I have no choice but to set you free. Live well on your own in the future."

Bai Ge mean-spiritedly dodged her hand. This was truly the hardest woman he had ever chased in his life, harder than a certain pink fairy.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

"Yes, I like you, Bai Ge."

"Is that so? Is it like or love?"

"... I love you."

Cecilia took a deep breath, trying hard to say the words she thought she would never have the chance to say in her life. The girl's cheeks were redder than the clouds dyed by the sunset in the sky.

"That's more like it~"

Bai Ge curled his lips in satisfaction, touching Cecilia's head, while restraining the urge to keep her, constantly telling himself it wasn't time yet.

Cecilia must stay voluntarily, otherwise his actions would just be locking her in another cage.

A certain great Emperor once said—forced kindness is no different from hostility.

And love is the same. Cecilia didn't yet have the determination to abandon Schicksal for the feelings between them, but she would have the answer after waiting for a while.

(Anyway, there's still plenty of time. This time travel has only been seven days, no need to rush, just take it slow.)

Bai Ge thought while holding the soft, fragrant girl.

And at this moment, a small figure carrying a huge cross climbed onto this cliff, panting.

"Fou... found you, you despicable... guy... daring to kidnap Cecilia, I won't... won't let you go. I'm going to use Judah... to smash you flat, hoo~ hoo~ hoo!"

"Theresa? Why are you here!"

"It seems your best friend has come to pick you up, Cecilia. By the way, didn't she notice there was a cable car at the bottom of the mountain?"

Bai Ge looked at this white-haired ball before him. It was his first time seeing Theresa in 1991, thinking she really wasn't any different from the future, especially in terms of height...

"I didn't expect Otto to be willing to send you."

Bai Ge was a bit surprised. After all, although that Otto the Dog had lost his conscience long ago, he was indeed very protective of Theresa.

After trying so many times and failing, he must have understood that Theresa wasn't his match, so Bai Ge thought the next move would be a Honkai Fission Bomb.

But he didn't expect Theresa to actually come.

"Grandpa didn't agree... so I snuck... out. Watch me rescue Cecilia... and the Valkyries you captured... all of them... prepare yourself!"

Theresa said with her hands on her hips while panting.

Looking at Cecilia in Bai Ge's arms, burning flames ignited in the eyes of this white-haired ball, feeling as if she were saying, "Bad man, don't touch my best friend."

She put the Oath of Judah behind her on the ground. Theresa's gaze staring at Bai Ge was vigilant, but very confident.

(Grandpa is just a worrywart. If he had let me sortie earlier, it wouldn't have turned out like this. Hmph! No matter how strong this guy is, in front of Judah's Divine Grace Barrier, he will become powerless! I'll leave it to you this time, Judah!)

... A few seconds later...

"What's going on? Judah, why did you get the attack target wrong! The enemy is that white-haired bad guy, not me! Wuwuwu, it's so high, so scary, let me up~"

At this moment, Theresa was tied up by the Oath of Judah and hung on the cliff, looking at the raging waves beneath her feet. This white-haired ball's soul was scared out of her mouth.....

Bai Ge sighed and shook his head.

Using a Divine Key to deal with him, the consequence was this miserable.

He didn't even need to do it himself; the Oath of Judah defeated Theresa on its own.

"Truly sending a head from a thousand miles away, the gift is light but the affection is heavy. By the way, I was planning to let people go anyway."

"Er, is Theresa okay?"

"It's fine, don't worry about her, at most she'll just be scared into a Theresa-fool. By the way, it's time to let the rest of them gather. They should have all had fun during this time."

Bai Ge looked toward the direction of the mountain. Those two hundred-plus Valkyries he captured were currently traveling like ordinary girls at nearby tourist attractions.

Of course, all these Valkyries had been issued 【Commandments】 and had become slaves of Bai Mouren.

Now all of them were obedient to him, for example, they were ordered to have a good time.

(Unlike the St. Freya Academy of the future, Schicksal's Valkyries don't have it easy. Every day is either training or going on missions to fight Honkai beasts, living completely unlike girls.)
