Chapter 561

"……Hmm."

Eden prayed for victory in her heart, while simultaneously feeling incredibly shocked; although it was only through remote observation via satellite, this was still her first time witnessing the descent of a Herrscher.

To destroy an entire kingdom just by being born, using the lives of tens of millions as a sacrifice—it was simply too terrifying.

And looking at that black mist of death that was still continuously expanding outward, Eden dared not imagine what a desperate scene it would be if it were left unchecked to shroud the entire world.

But while worried, she also felt very surprised.

Looking at the coordinates of Bai Ge displayed on the screen, Eden witnessed the soldiers, who had been panicking just a moment ago, immediately stop wavering after hearing the young man's voice.

Eden: "Is this your prestige, Bai Ge."

……………………

At the same time, Bai Ge and the others had already arrived above the target city; although the black mist blocked satellite detection, according to the Honkai energy concentration, the Herrscher of Death was right here!

Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Bai Ge had already arrived in front of the cabin door and spoke in a cold, sharp voice.

"Next, I will go down to investigate the situation personally; you all hover in the vicinity and take care of the Honkai beasts flying in the sky."

"Yes, Captain Bai Ge!" xN

When facing a Herrscher-level enemy, no one could question Bai Ge's orders; what he said was the sole and highest-priority truth, and even Dr. Mei could not defy it.

Subsequently, Bai Ge leaped down, jumping directly into the city shrouded by the black mist below.

"Detection shows Captain Bai Ge's vital signs are normal! He is moving quickly through the city to investigate!"

"Very good, as expected of him!"

In the command room, Mei clenched her fists tightly; she hadn't expected Bai Ge to be immune even to the black mist of the Herrscher's authority, and she couldn't help but think that this person was truly as special and reliable as ever.

"Sigh, are they all dead?"

After jumping into the city shrouded in black mist, Bai Ge looked helplessly at the streets that were already devoid of people.

It wasn't just people, but every blade of grass and every tree; every existence with life had been granted equal death by the black mist, and at this moment, this city had become a veritable dead city.

"I must find the Herrscher's location quickly."

Bai Ge spread his dragon wings and flew through the city at a speed invisible to the naked eye to search, because the black mist didn't just wither life; it even had a certain ability to isolate perception and detection.

But fortunately, his movements were fast enough; five minutes later, in a certain corner of the city.

Bai Ge finally found the only other person still alive in this city besides himself; without a doubt, she was the Herrscher of Death born from this Great Eruption.

"Oh my, someone has finally come~ Big brother, are you here to play with Xier?"

Only to see a young girl standing leisurely on a withered lawn, with black-blue shoulder-length hair and deep red, blood-like captivating eyes; she strolled through this world that seemed to have only her left, and was delighted by Bai Ge's arrival.

"Xier?!"

"How annoying, it's Xier, not Xier~ How dare you get my name wrong, big brother, you should apologize with your death!"

"…………"

Bai Ge raised an eyebrow; looking at the Herrscher girl before him, even he revealed a surprised expression, and the reason was none other than that the Herrscher of Death looked exactly like Xier!

From a certain perspective, this could also be considered the strongest opponent.

After all, just because of this face, Bai Ge felt that he would need a long time of psychological preparation if he wanted to make a move, but fortunately, he had no intention of killing the Herrscher this time.

(I didn't expect the Herrscher of Death of the previous civilization to be an alternate-space counterpart of Xier, heh~ interesting.)

"Why has big brother stopped talking? Aren't you here to be Xier's toy? But how exactly did you do it, to be able to survive in my domain? Forget it, since that's the case… struggle to your heart's content and please me!"

The Herrscher of Death revealed a very yandere smile, and in the next second, she launched an attack toward Bai Ge.

"In terms of personality, it feels like Dark Xier."

Looking at the Herrscher of Death launching an attack at him, Bai Ge commented while easily blocking it; not to mention, he actually quite missed this tone, after all, he hadn't seen it for a long time.

On the other side, she kept trying to use her authority to decompose Bai Ge, only to find that she was completely unable to do anything to Bai Mouren, and she soon revealed a troubled and impatient expression.

Her poor patience was also very similar to Dark Xier.

However, Bai Ge frowned slightly, feeling a bit strange.

Because from a certain perspective, she was too different from the Herrschers of the past civilization; the Herrscher of Death's expressions were very rich, almost as if she still had humanity, but this was absolutely impossible.

"Why, why is my authority unable to take effect on you? This is impossible! Hurry up and die for me!"

Having tried several times without seeing any effect, she was also anxious at this moment.

"……If this were at the Hearth of Fire, just for this sentence, Dark Xier would be spanked at least fifty times, and it would be a public execution in front of everyone."

Bai Ge chuckled. The Herrscher of Death's performance made her feel both nostalgic and novel; he missed this as Dark Xier's temper.

But the real Dark Xier would never speak to him in this tone, so it was also very novel.

"Alright, I will have plenty of time to play with you in the future; now you should surrender, Herrscher of Death!"

"Want me to surrender? In your dreams!"

The Herrscher of Death's Honkai energy erupted suddenly, and the black mist representing the authority of withering expanded with full force.

However, it could not decompose a single strand of Bai Ge's hair.

Because the White Flower symbolizing creation was blooming.

"What? This is creation!"

Looking at the same authority as her own, the Herrscher of Death Xier suddenly opened her eyes in astonishment.

Of course she recognized the authority Bai Ge was using; that was the opposite of withering, the authority of creation!

Only to see pure and beautiful white flowers blooming in the dead mist; the same authority, but completely different ways of using it—one was to create life, the other was to obliterate life.

And in the case of the same authority, to determine the winner, one had to look at the total amount of Honkai energy; and compared to a Seven-Core Herrscher in terms of Honkai energy output… Bai Ge smiled.

Only to see the Herrscher gems embedded on his dragon-form body light up, and Honkai energy that seemed endless surged wildly from the white-haired youth's body.

Creation defeated withering in an instant, and countless white flowers bloomed, covering the city and dispelling all the withering black mist.

"Sure enough, it's very easy, just as I thought; for me, this Herrscher of Death hurdle is no different from a giveaway question." Bai Ge looked at the beautiful scenery he had created with satisfaction.

"This, this is impossible! How can you have the same authority as me! Who exactly are you?!" The Herrscher of Death Xier was completely panicked.

"Me? I'm the one here to play with Xier… just kidding, you can't do anything anymore, right."

Bai Ge smiled and casually picked a white flower to sniff.

No one in this world understood the Herrscher of Death better than him.

Unlike other Herrschers, the Herrscher of Death could be said to be a completely domain-type Herrscher, with no ability to deal with single-target enemies; her main means of attack was to release the withering black mist symbolizing death, causing anyone who approached to die automatically.

And the Herrscher of Death would be harder to kill than ordinary Herrschers because she could heal herself.

However…

This Herrscher, who should have been difficult to deal with, ran into the only white-haired youth in the world who could keep her completely in check.

Bai Ge could use creation to neutralize her withering; unless the Herrscher of Death Xier's output exceeded Bai Ge's, the withering black mist had no way to appear in the sea of creation flowers.

This meant her authority had been sealed off by Bai Ge.

And a Herrscher who could not use her authority had a chance of winning even against ordinary soldiers.

"It's me, it's already been resolved, you all come down."

After the black mist disappeared completely, the signal interference also vanished; Bai Ge contacted everyone at Fire Moth and ordered the soldiers to deal with the Honkai beasts born from the Great Eruption.

At the same time, Elysia, Kevin, Kosma, Sakura, and others also jumped down from the transport plane.

Looking at the youth standing in the sea of white flowers, they were momentarily mesmerized by this scene that could only be described as beautiful and holy.

"What are you dazing for, come over quickly."

"Oh, oh!"

Everyone hurried to Bai Ge's side, while looking with emotion at the Herrscher of Death he had captured; they had never seen such a "harmless and powerless" Herrscher.

Now that her authority could not take effect, the Herrscher of Death Xier could be said to be nothing; let alone these few Flame-Chasers, I'm afraid even Fu Hua couldn't beat her.

"Bai Ge, are these white flowers your ability?"

"Hmm, they look good, right."

Bai Ge said boastfully.

In the previous civilization, using Herrscher authority was a dangerous thing; if Bai Ge's Herrscher identity were discovered, then the prestige he had accumulated so far would likely be ruined in an instant.

Therefore, he was always cautious when using it, and the Herrscher of Flames authority he used the most was also given an excuse, saying it was his ability as a Flame-Chaser; after all, fire ability was not rare and would not arouse suspicion…

It was just that his fire was a billion times more intense.

And at this moment, Bai Ge was using the Herrscher of Death's authority on such a large scale; logically speaking, it should have been very dangerous, but he didn't have the slightest worry, after all…

"This ability is truly beautiful."

"The Captain is really an angel, isn't he."

"I want to pick one to take back as a souvenir."

"5.4 is truly a power completely opposite to that Herrscher."

The soldiers of Fire Moth, no, anyone who saw Bai Ge use the authority of creation would not have a shred of doubt; this pure white sea of flowers before them formed a sharp contrast with the withering black mist.
