~5 min read 994 words

(Isn't this person Griseo's father?!)

Bai Ge looked at the blue-haired man in front of him in surprise; he hadn't expected to run into a 'familiar' person in this place.

At the same time, he was now completely certain that this organization was the predecessor to the Fire Moth!

"Hey, how did you two little friends end up here?"

Kevin also looked at Bai Ge and Elysia in surprise.

In this heavily guarded military camp, two little kids with such cute aesthetics had appeared, and they were even hiding in a trash can.

Come to think of it, he seemed to have hallucinated the boy calling him father-in-law just now; Kevin thought he must have misheard.

He didn't even have a cute creature like a daughter yet.

"Uh, we were just a bit curious."

"This isn't a place for children. You must have heard our conversation just now, eh~ I didn't expect that one day I'd actually have secrets overheard by two kids."

Kevin looked at the two with a helpless expression.

If it were anyone else, he would have treated them as spies, but what could he say to these two children?

And besides, the fact that two children could infiltrate the headquarters of a military camp that was supposed to be heavily guarded—doesn't that mean the useless bums outside need double the training!

"Forget it, for the sake of how cute you look, I'll let you off this time. You absolutely cannot spread what you heard just now. Go back, sleep, and forget it all, you hear?"

Kevin warned with a serious expression.

Bai Ge nodded obediently, but before he could pull Elysia away, he heard the girl suddenly speak.

"May I ask, the 'eliminate with full force' you mentioned just now, is, is it to kill someone?"

"Aponia?"

Bai Ge looked at Elysia in surprise, only to see her wearing a worried and nervous expression. Bai Ge immediately assumed she was worried that these people intended to harm them.

"Little girl, you're still young, you don't understand these complicated things. What we were talking about dealing with are monsters that pose a threat to humanity. Uh, why am I saying this to a child?"

Kevin realized he had said too much. He was silent for a moment, then sighed and scratched his head.

"In any case, you two hurry up and leave; let this be the only time."

"Uh, alright..."

"Goodbye, uncle. I wish you a daughter soon."

Bai Ge said, blessing Kevin.

Father-in-law, hurry up and get Griseo out here! I really like your daughter!

Although this armed force was looking for him, Bai Ge wasn't too worried.

After all, at this stage where Herrschers hadn't been born yet, the previous civilization didn't know about humanoid Honkai-side creatures other than zombies.

And even if they knew about Herrschers, they wouldn't associate them with a child like him.

However, when Bai Ge turned his head, he saw Elysia showing a disappointed expression, and he immediately asked with concern.

"Elysia, are you okay?"

"Hmm, is what that uncle said just now true? Monsters... that pose a threat to humanity?"

Elysia showed a rare look of sorrow. She looked down at her small hands—was she a monster?

"Elysia..."

Bai Ge couldn't help but pityingly stroke the girl's head.

"Humans always use names like monsters and gods to refer to existences that possess power beyond their imagination, but in reality, what's important has never been power, but the heart."

"The heart?"

Elysia looked at Bai Ge, puzzled.

Her small hand was placed over her heart.

At the same time, she stared earnestly into the boy's eyes, longing for him to give her the answer to this question.

Bai Ge gently hugged Elysia; by now, this level of physical contact was normal for them. He then nodded and said to the girl.

"Yes, the heart is the most important thing. Possessing what kind of power has never been the key. Only that brilliant, shining humanity is the proof of why a person is a person."

"Bai Ge, I... don't quite understand."

"It's okay, you'll understand when you grow up, Elysia."

"Oh..."

Bai Ge raised his hand and rubbed the face of the confused Elysia.

As for himself, even if he possessed even stronger authority and fused with more Herrscher cores.

Bai Ge still firmly believed that he was human.

Everything he possessed to this day was built on the foundation of viewing himself as a human. And that brilliant, shining humanity of his was the evidence that proved he was a human even after his power and body completely surpassed humanity.

(Wait a minute, if that's the case, then why am I... still human now?)

A bit of confusion suddenly appeared in Bai Ge's eyes.

He thought to himself that clearly, the Herrschers of the previous civilization were all enemies of humanity, puppets used by Honkai to destroy civilization.

But why could the Herrschers of the current civilization possess humanity? Why could they repeatedly act as double agents for Honkai?

Could it be that someone changed the fate of the Herrschers of the current civilization?

Bai Ge couldn't remember the answer to this question.

(If that's the case, then I must offer my thanks to that person. Thank you for letting me become a Herrscher who is human.)

Bai Ge thought to himself.

"Let's go, Elysia. Worrying about those unimportant things is just a waste of energy. What's important is the here and now. Have you decided where we're going to play today?"

"Bai Ge... you're right!"

Under Bai Ge's guidance, a brilliant smile bloomed on Elysia's face again.

She skillfully grabbed Bai Ge's arm and rested her head on his shoulder, saying.

"But I've already had a lot of fun today. The infiltration with you just now was super exciting, but... it seems it was a bit too tense. I'm a little tired now~"

"Elysia, just say what you mean." ===== CHAPTER 419 =====
