Chapter 563

Deep under the Pacific Ocean, in the deepest depths.

"To actually capture a Herrscher alive, is there anything in this world that you, Bai Ge, cannot do."

"Hurry up and let me through! I can't wait to study her properly!"

"Hahahaha~! As expected of the deepest depths designed by the greatest magician of this century, Vill-V; even a Herrscher, the apostle of the gods, shouldn't think about escaping, as expected of me!"

Dr. Mei, Mobius, and Vill-V were staring excitedly at the Herrscher of Death Xier inside the deepest depths.

This was humanity's first time capturing a Herrscher alive! Capturing a Herrscher, the apostle of the gods, alive! The significance was extraordinary!

The three of them couldn't help but look at Bai Ge beside them, admiration uncontrollably surging in their eyes; this youth was simply too incredible, he seemed to really be able to do anything!

"…………"

Elysia was a bit silent for some reason.

She looked at the Herrscher girl named Xier on the monitor and found that she had once again developed a feeling of "same kind"; she was increasingly suspecting that her true identity was also a Herrscher.

However, once she thought about how she also developed a sense of same kind toward Bai Ge, Elysia still felt a glimmer of luck.

"Vill-V, what is the situation now? Is there any possibility of the Herrscher of Death escaping?"

"No, none at all! Her authority seems to only work on living things; she can never escape from this prison built entirely of soul steel!"

Vill-V said very proudly, not knowing that this statement made Mobius beside her almost die of envy.

(What? A prison built entirely of soul steel? Is this person's resources too excessive! Hasn't her funding been cut? Damn! Mei, you bastard, my funding…)

Snake-snake pressed her chest, heartbroken; her funding was pitifully low now, she had to eat a cup of instant noodles in two meals.

Looking at Vill-V's still wealthy and unrestricted appearance, jealousy made Mobius separate from her wall.

"Mobius, why are you looking at me like that."

"Nothing, just thinking about where my research funding was spent, why the gap between people is so big, Mei, what do you say…"

"Cough cough! That, Bai Ge, how do you plan to deal with the Herrscher of Death?"

11 Looking at Mobius's captivating snake pupils, Mei also shivered and hurriedly changed the subject.

The dangerous topic of funding was skipped, skipped; it was impossible for her to tell Mobius that she had diverted her funding to her own research project.

As soon as Mei's voice fell, the three women all looked at Bai Ge curiously, waiting for his answer; how to deal with a captured Herrscher was a very important question.

In fact, after knowing that the Herrscher of Death had been captured alive, many people in the world had crooked thoughts; some wanted to dissect her to dig out the Herrscher's secrets, some wanted to interrogate her to force the Herrscher to tell the truth about Honkai, and even more expressed that she must be executed.

But no matter what the purpose was, it was certain that now, countless people were eyeing the Herrscher of Death Xier, but these people dared not make any moves to coerce or snatch her.

Because this Herrscher was Bai Ge's prisoner.

The prestige of this youth, who had captured the Sixth Herrscher alive after subjugating four Herrschers, could no longer be offended by anyone; no one dared to move the Herrscher without Bai Ge's permission.

"I want to… tame her."

Bai Ge stared at Xier on the monitor and said seriously.

As soon as this was said, the four women all revealed surprised expressions.

"You said you want to tame this Herrscher?"

"My god, can this be done?"

"No, maybe it really can; don't forget that the Herrscher of Death is the only Herrscher who has begged for mercy so far."

"I think maybe I should just dissect her."

Bai Ge seemed not to hear their voices, his gaze still staring straight at Xier on the monitor.

He actually knew in his heart that Xier's begging for mercy was just a disguised appearance; in the original plot, after Kevin let the Herrscher of Death go, the Herrscher immediately attacked humanity again.

It was enough to see that this was another targeting by Honkai.

Just like the Herrscher of the Void's authority targeted human long-range weapons, the Herrscher of Thunder's companion Honkai beasts targeted human melee elites, and the Herrscher of Wind's escape targeted human lack of speed.

The Herrscher of Ice… this one died too quickly to see it.

But in short, the Herrscher of Death Xier's begging for mercy was also a Honkai-side conspiracy targeting human compassion.

If Bai Ge hadn't known the plot, once he softened his heart and let her go, it would definitely have caused unimaginable losses, but…

(I don't know how I forgot how the Herrschers of the current civilization possessed humanity and broke free from the shackles of Honkai, but if the current civilization can do it, maybe the previous civilization can too.)

Although the Herrschers of the previous civilization had no humanity, they still had emotions; since that was the case, Bai Ge felt he could try; if she couldn't restore her humanity, then he would cultivate it again.

And considering it from a selfish perspective, Bai Ge didn't want to kill this Herrscher girl who looked exactly like Xier.

(As long as I find a way, maybe in the subsequent reincarnation, I can capture the Herrschers like I did in the current civilization, let them fight for humanity, and besides…)

And if he could reawaken the humanity of the Herrscher girl before him, let her stand on the side of humanity, and let her be recognized by people, then if Bai Ge's Herrscher identity were exposed in the future, there would still be room for maneuver.

"Taming a Herrscher, that's truly a fantasy, but if it's you, Bai Ge, I feel there really might be a chance."

Mei said after thinking for a moment; in fact, her thoughts this time were the same as Mobius's—a living Herrscher was rare, and if she could be studied and analyzed, there might be major gains.

And the risk of this was also the smallest.

But since this was Bai Ge's decision, then this must be the correct answer, and besides…

(I always feel that with Bai Ge's methods, maybe it's really possible to capture the Herrscher; after all, even Eden could be handled in one night, how hard could a Herrscher be?)

"So what do you plan to do, sleep-tame her? Although this Herrscher of Death doesn't look like an adult, the laws protecting humanity don't protect Herrschers, Bai Ge, you can do whatever you want."

"Mei, your expression completely doesn't want me to do whatever I want."

Bai Ge rolled his eyes, thinking that women were truly creatures who said one thing and meant another, but to be honest, he was indeed confident.

After all, it was Xier, whether it was White Xier or Dark Xier, Bai Ge could easily handle them; although this one was Xier, they looked about the same.

"Before sleep-taming, cough cough, taming, let's pull out the wild cat's teeth that bite people randomly; I want to dig out her Herrscher core while ensuring she stays alive." Bai Ge said.

Although the deepest depths were unbreakable, since the target was a Herrscher, one couldn't be too careful; however, Mobius and Mei both shook their heads to indicate they couldn't do it.

"We have already given her a full-body check, X-rays didn't show any core in her body!"

"You two are really fast, but the Herrscher core is more special than many people imagine, it's normal that X-rays can't show it."

Bai Ge had an expression of not being surprised at all.

No way, no way, there wouldn't really be anyone who thought the Herrscher core grew in the human body like a stone, right? He was a Herrscher himself, so he knew better than anyone.

The Herrscher's body was just a fixed coordinate for the core.

In reality, every Herrscher's core always existed in the space on the imaginary side; only at the moment the Herrscher died would the core, having lost its coordinate, fall from the imaginary space into the real world.

And the fallen coordinate was inside the Herrschers' bodies.

(After all, the volume of each core is not big, but not small either; basically, each Herrscher core is the size of half a palm; if this were stuffed in the body, ugh~!)

Bai Ge shook his head, thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable, especially as a multi-core Herrscher like him, his body wasn't some convenient pocket that could stuff anything.

However, Otto's artificial Herrscher plan was to directly stuff the core into the Valkyrie's flesh, and then leave it to fate to see if the Valkyrie could adapt to the core.

For example, Wendy was like that back then, but the consequence was that the body would be severely eroded by Honkai energy, and even if she became a Herrscher, she was weak, and the core was easily snatched away.

After all, putting it in a flesh-and-blood body and putting it in imaginary space were two completely different concepts; a flesh-and-blood body was like a small box without a lock, and the core could be dug out with a scalpel.

And hiding it in imaginary space was like putting it in a strict safe; unless the box was smashed/the Herrscher was killed, there was almost no possibility of snatching the core.

Bai Ge was able to dig out Wendy's core easily back then because she was an artificial Herrscher and could be dug out directly.

And Xier before him was a pure Herrscher; wanting to get the core without killing her was truly a fantasy.

After all, the password to the "vault" was only known to the owner; even if one didn't have the ability to open imaginary space, one wouldn't even have a chance to crack the password.

However…
