Chapter 387

However...

(What?! The headquarters base was actually...)

Otto's eyes widened. He saw the floor and ceiling cracking simultaneously, and a giant wave of fire swept past from above.

The next second, the floor he was on collapsed downward. This floor, where the sun should have been invisible, now saw the blue sky and white clouds, and... flames extending from the end of the sky!

The floating island of Schicksal Headquarters.

Was split in two by a sword strike from 9,700 kilometers away!

"............"

Otto stared blankly at this scene, his hands hanging limply. The terrifying deterrence brought by this absolute violence had been deeply branded into his soul through his eyes.

In the end, the Schicksal floating island, split in two, plummeted.

But fortunately, the Mediterranean Sea was right below, and the result was only a certain degree of tsunami in the surrounding areas, along with the inevitable decline of Otto's future.

"Phew~ finally vented it out!"

Over at St. Freya Academy in the Far East.

Bai Ge exhaled and lowered the great sword, Shamash.

This strike just now was also his full power at the moment.

The dual-core authority of the Herrscher of Wind, combined with the resonance of the An-Utu and the Herrscher of Flame core on the Blank Key, while fire aided the wind's momentum, outputting the maximum Honkai Energy of a five-core Herrscher.

A sword strike spanning a full 9,700 kilometers! Nothing short of the Finality could block it! Even Kevin the Deliverer would not dare to take it head-on!

"... seems like I might have overdone it a bit."

Bai Ge glanced at the path of heavenly flames extending to the horizon, then looked at the An-Utu in his hand, which had returned to its dual-pistol form, with large cracks and smoke appearing on the gun bodies.

Clearly, that strike just now had exceeded the load-bearing limit of this Divine Key, but fortunately, the Soul Steel of the previous civilization was a nanotechnology metal and had a certain self-repair function.

It wouldn't take long before it could be used again.

"That dog Otto should have learned a lesson now."

Bai Ge touched his chest.

The previous wounds had now completely healed.

Actually, if it weren't for the 【Spear of Longinus】 also suppressing the Honkai Energy in his body, preventing him from fully utilizing the authority of the Herrscher of Death, he would have recovered to his original state in just a minute or two.

Even without mentioning his heart being destroyed and his body nearly being severed, as long as his head wasn't destroyed instantly, he could regenerate quickly even if half his body were gone.

"... Bai Ge, it's so good that you're okay!"

Mei immediately rushed over, hugging the white-haired young man tightly, as if afraid he would disappear from her sight again.

People only know how important the other person is to them after experiencing loss.

At this moment, she understood very clearly.

For Raiden Mei.

Bai Ge was her entire world!

"Cough, cough, Mei, your horns..."

Bai Ge smiled bitterly and patted the young lady in his arms.

Looking at Mei, who was panicking and shedding tears because of him, although he was indeed incomparably moved and joyful, and his love for Mei had risen to another level.

But... these oni horns that he loved so much were really painful when they poked someone.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Mei leaned back quickly, moving her head away.

"It's okay, Mei, you were worried for me, weren't you? Thank you."

"Bai Ge..."

The two looked at each other, then kissed.

Bai Ge enjoyed this moment of beauty.

But soon, he reluctantly pulled away.

Because he knew there were more important things waiting for him to handle, a young lady who had fallen into despair because of him was waiting for him to save her!

But before that...

"Rita, come here for a moment."

"Bai Ge... my lord..."

After landing on the ground, Bai Ge beckoned to Rita.

Rita's body trembled, and she lowered her head in shame, but she still walked toward Bai Ge step by step.

This appearance was like a death row inmate walking to the guillotine.

But she would not choose to escape, because Rita knew very well that she had committed an unforgivable sin.

Regardless of whether the reason was the backdoor program in her armor, her hands had indeed been stained with the white-haired young man's blood.

"... I have no words of defense. Rita has failed your trust. I, I am sorry, really, I am sorry, Lord Bai Ge, I am truly..."

"Alright, with this, the backdoor in your armor has been removed by me. Eh~ I didn't expect there to be such a thing; this was indeed an oversight. It seems that after things settle down, I'll have to check all the remaining armor in the academy."

"Eh? Lord Bai Ge..."

The expected reproach and coldness did not happen.

Rita looked up at Bai Ge blankly.

She saw him using the authority of the Herrscher of Reason to analyze her armor and directly delete that backdoor program, without mentioning her 【betrayal】 at all.

Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Rita hadn't changed a bit.

As gentle as ever.

As trusting as ever.

At this moment, just Bai Ge's gaze made Rita's heart feel moved but ashamed to accept it.

"Everyone has times when they fail, and besides, this wasn't Rita's fault, so don't mind it."

"But regardless of the reason, I..."

"You are still my good maid."

Before Rita could finish, Bai Ge interrupted her.

However, just as he intended to continue saying something to comfort this girl properly.

BOOM—!

A huge commotion came from the direction of the academy in the distance.

Sensing several familiar auras/Honkai Energy, Bai Ge's eyes narrowed, and he immediately knew that it was time for him, the protagonist, to make an appearance.

"It seems that things over there are urgent, but that is probably the last of the trouble."

So he only had time to give the maid before him a firm hug and kiss her on the forehead, saying:

"Sigh~ today was really quite a mess, I'm hungry, and I guess Kiana is hungry too, so... tonight's dinner is up to you to prepare, Rita. I want to eat meat!"

Solving the troubles at home is the master's job.

And the maid's job is to take care of the master's life, especially preparing rich and delicious cuisine.

Rita looked up in astonishment at Bai Ge, who was smiling at her. Tears welled up in her eyes again, and she quickly wiped away the tears that blurred her vision, saying softly.

"Yes, Lord Bai Ge, tonight I will prepare everything for you."
