Chapter 329

"Lucky! Found something good!"

In the infinitely vast space.

Bai Ge looked at the green gem in his hand with pleasure. This is the Herrscher of Wind core from the Previous Civilization, which he just dismantled from the 4th Divine Key, 'Caelum'.

Incidentally, the 4th Divine Key, 'Caelum', is very different from other Divine Keys. First of all, it is not a weapon that can be held in the hand, but a super satellite.

The purpose of the Previous Civilization in manufacturing it was to restore the environment, including the comprehensive ecological restoration of land, oceans, and the atmosphere, such as repairing the world after it was destroyed by the Herrscher of Finality.

However, it had exhausted its energy long ago. Schicksal only mastered it in recent years and carried out repair work. Otto originally intended to use it as a weather weapon.

As a result, it was intercepted by Bai Ge now.

"I felt a familiar aura nearby as soon as I left the atmosphere. When I got closer, I didn't expect it to be this Divine Key. I have a lot of fate with the Herrscher of Wind today."

Of course, Bai Ge couldn't let go of this big gift that bumped into him, and he was also curious about what changes would happen when two cores of the same attribute were gathered together.

But no matter what, it would definitely greatly improve his strength. Thinking back to when Bai Ge carried the Herrscher of Flames core, the moment he picked up the Judgment of Shamash, it turned into An-Utu.

And he also unleashed a 'Judgment of Shamash' with power almost identical to Kevin Kaslana's!

This shows that the resonance and amplification between the cores of the Previous Civilization and the present civilization is a leap-forward improvement.

"It's really making me eager to try!"

Bai Ge gripped the core in his hand, restrained his mood, and flew to the back of the moon at the highest speed.

The back of the moon is an area that the current technology of Earth cannot observe. Bai Ge's plan next is to turn himself into a quantum ghost and then return to Earth.

In this way, everyone will only think that the Herrscher of Wind went to distant space and never returned. Even Otto will no longer pay attention to a Herrscher who wants to be an astronaut.

And Bai Ge, who has turned into a quantum ghost, is basically completely invisible, just like when he swaggered into the Oceania base earlier. After quantumizing, returning from the moon will not be discovered by any detectors.

However, before setting off.

Bai Ge embedded the core in his hand into the Blank Key.

"Ah~ thanks to Dr. MEI of the Previous Civilization for inventing the Blank Key! Your set of armor really helped a lot."

The Herrscher cores of the Previous Civilization are 'dead'. Normally, unless it is in the form of a Divine Key, even if you get it, it is just a useless broken stone.

But the Blank Key manufactured by Dr. MEI made it possible to use these 'dead' cores.

In comparison, Otto's artificial Herrscher project is low-end; it still relies on idealistic powers like emotions and bonds. Compared to Dr. MEI's Blank Key, which can be used just by embedding it into clothes, it's nothing—Bai Mouren sighed in his heart, full of personal subjective emotions.

Although using the Blank Key will cost one's life, he, the Herrscher of Sentience, is least afraid of costing his life!

At the same time, right at this moment.

The moment the Previous Civilization Wind Herrscher core was embedded into the Blank Key, cyan Honkai energy erupted suddenly! A huge tornado actually formed on the lunar surface!

Bai Ge showed an excited, wild look.

"This is really exciting!!"

Dual-core Herrscher of Wind! The amplification produced by the resonance of two cores is not just one plus one. As anyone who has watched Gundam 00 knows, the 00 Gundam equipped with two solar furnaces can obtain nearly squared combat power.

Bai Ge is the same at this moment.

Originally, the four cores he held could maintain the balance of power, but when the second Herrscher of Wind core was embedded into the Blank Key, the Wind Herrscher authority suddenly far exceeded the others!

"Humans, feel fortunate. Fortunately, I am not a Herrscher standing on the Honkai side, otherwise you would have already perished!"

Bai Ge whispered, recalling that azure planet.

Now he can do anything.

If he were to exert his full strength, blowing away a villa island—uh, no, blowing away a small country would not be a problem!

Even opening a hole in the ozone layer would be a small matter!

"Speaking of which, if I release my authority with full strength on the moon now, I don't know if I can change the moon's orbit. It seems... it's not impossible."

Bai Ge put his hands on his hips, thinking, 'I'm really amazing!'

Unless Kevin jumps out of the Sea of Quanta now, he has no fear of anyone.

Bai Mouren just feels he is invincible! What? You say this is inflation? It doesn't matter! This is a fact, okay!

At this very moment, he finally became a five-core Herrscher again.

And he is a five-core Herrscher who is countless times stronger than during the Second Eruption!

"Alright, played enough, going home!"

Bai Ge packed a jar of moon soil as a souvenir and flew toward Earth. For a quantum ghost, breaking through the atmosphere is easy, and satellites won't react at all.

Bai Ge will not reveal the power of the dual-core Herrscher of Wind for the time being, because he can be sure that Otto is plotting something bad. It's just right to give him a surprise at a critical moment!

Otto still thinks he is a dual-core Herrscher in combat power, not knowing that Bai Ge has already mastered five cores.

Such a major piece of information is hidden. No matter what he is planning, there will definitely be a huge flaw.

……………………

Inside St. Freya Academy.

When Bai Ge returned to the academy and just arrived at Theresa's office, he heard wailing before he even entered the door.

"Sob sob sob sob! Wendy! You're so miserable, I, I, I'm sorry for you! Sob sob sob, I'm an incompetent principal. My own student had such a thing happen, and I didn't know anything about it. You, you come and scold me, no, hit me."

Bai Ge: (─. ─||)

He knew it would be this kind of reaction, which is why he never told Theresa about Wendy.

Actually, the reason Wendy participated in the artificial Herrscher experiment, this Theresa has to take part of the blame.

Back then, Schicksal's public statement to Valkyries was that they wanted to develop weapons comparable to Herrschers by studying cores; they didn't mention a word about human experimentation. So Theresa, who didn't know the truth, recommended Wendy to try it, and as a result, she almost died.

You must know that before Kiana and the others transformed, Wendy could be said to be the student Theresa was most proud of.

And after learning that she had pushed her most proud student into a fire pit, Theresa was completely stunned.

"Alright, Principal, you didn't do it on purpose. This matter cannot be blamed on you; if you want to blame someone, blame Otto."

"Bai Ge, you're back. Thank you, really thank you. If it weren't for you, Wendy, she..."

"Alright, what's there to thank between us."

Bai Ge raised his hand and touched Theresa's head. The white-haired bun with Kaslana blood has always felt top-tier.

Although being touched on the head in front of past students is a matter that damages her dignity as a principal, considering Bai Ge saved Wendy this time, Theresa let him do it with a blushing face.

"I also want to say thank you to you, Mr. Ghost."

Wendy looked at him with gratitude.

If it weren't for Bai Ge interrupting that experiment today, Wendy felt that she might no longer be herself.

She was afraid that she would have been manipulated by the Herrscher core by now, becoming a Herrscher of Wind standing on the opposite side of humanity.

And it's not just that.

Thinking about it now, she really was saved by him many times.

His care and visits over the past half month.

Healing her when she was in pain from the gem's erosion.

If it weren't for the little warmth Bai Ge gave her during this time, Wendy felt that she wouldn't even be able to struggle, and would be directly controlled by the Gem of Desire in body and mind.

Even though in Bai Ge's eyes, he only did some insignificant little things—just visiting Wendy three times, letting her have a good sleep, and teaching a lesson to the Valkyries who mocked her.

Thinking about it, only the last point of stopping her from becoming a Herrscher might be worth thanking.

But he couldn't experience Wendy's feelings.

For someone in the desperate, cold abyss, even the temperature of a single ray of sunlight is a great salvation for a girl, not to mention... Bai Mouren is handsome and has top-tier looks. If there were a Herrscher of Looks in this world, he would definitely be the one.

Even without showing his face, Wendy took his voice as her reliance, and he appeared domineeringly at the critical moment when the girl was in imminent danger.
