Chapter 608
"Damn it! Why don't I have any power at all!"
"Damned Herrscher, if you've got the guts, fight head-on!"
"Exactly! To think you'd use us to affect Lord Bai Ge!"
Countless people were filled with indignation; they resented the Herrscher of Flame's cowardice, but were even more frustrated by their own weakness, as such powerless selves could only become a burden to the hero.
Sydney was a very prosperous city, and if the Herrscher of Flame threw fire at any random spot, it could cover at least three or four people, but she also realized something at this moment.
Bai Ge was truly very skilled at protection; she had released so much fire, but until now, she hadn't even managed to burn a single pet dog to death.
Moreover, the Herrscher of Flame had not expected that these humans, who were incomparably insignificant in her eyes, would actually summon the courage to resist her.
Police officers kept firing their guns at her, and when she wanted to lash out and kill, ordinary people even threw themselves at her to knock her away; even a few children were throwing stones at her.
"You ants! How dare you!"
The Herrscher of Flame was extremely furious; she felt humiliated, yet no matter what terrifyingly strong flames she released, the will in the people's eyes at this moment did not retreat in the slightest.
"Uooooooooh!!!" xN
These ordinary people who were supposed to be protected let out a roar, forcefully suppressing the Herrscher of Flame's momentum.
Bai Ge watched this scene happily; he was not in a hurry to finish off the Herrscher of Flame, but instead exclaimed in unison with Eden.
"The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage."
Do not push humanity into a corner, otherwise, even an ordinary person will launch a counterattack against a god.
Even if it is just throwing a stone, or perhaps just a roar, the will contained within, when gathered together, is enough to overcome any disaster, and Honkai is no exception!
At this moment, Eden, wearing an ice-and-snow ceremonial dress, was the only person besides Bai Ge who did not fear the flames, because the Herrscher of Flame's current Honkai energy could no longer release flames exceeding 1000 degrees.
Eden gripped the microphone in her hand tightly.
She was also an ordinary person now, just as insignificant and powerless, but even so, she still had things she could do and a will she could display!
Eden: "The abandoned ruins~ are still beautiful! I have always been here, waiting for your return~"
The singer sang out loud once again.
This was her resistance against Honkai!
This was her blessing to Bai Ge!
Eden's singing voice contained her will!
Bai Ge looked in surprise at the golden songstress behind him; these incredibly familiar lyrics and this melody that made one's blood boil were, without a doubt, a high-octane battle song.
"Oh? Is this actually 'The Song of Sword-Drawing'?!"
In an instant, the emotions of everyone present were ignited by Eden again, though she herself actually had no such thoughts; this songstress's gaze was focused solely on the youth's figure.
This "Song of Sword-Drawing" was the only support Eden, who could not yet fight head-on, could give to Bai Ge.
When they were discussing music in the past, Bai Ge had jokingly said: "If two people are fighting each other, the side with a dedicated BGM is guaranteed to win."
Eden did not quite understand this, because she did not know the memes from Bai Mou's past life.
But at this moment, she was willing to become Bai Ge's BGM.
This "Song of Sword-Drawing" was her blessing.
"Well done, Eden! Now I'm basically invincible."
Bai Ge rubbed his hands in excitement; good grief, he was already bullying the weak, and now he even had BGM, how could he lose?
Originally, he had been thinking of giving the Herrscher of Flame a quick end, but since the battle song was already fired up, shouldn't he fight for a while longer? At least until the climax!
Bai Mou began to circle around the Herrscher of Flame, although this so-called circling was a one-sided beatdown.
(Forgive me, Himeko, anyway you are the Herrscher of Flame now, and I will treat you later, so… just let me have some fun!!)
Thus, a high-octane battle that made the blood of ordinary people boil unfolded; pale solid ice turned into blades, into giant hands, and into prisons, continuously blasting the Herrscher of Flame.
The poor flames on the other side could not melt Bai Ge's white solid ice at all, and at the moment Eden sang the climax.
"Solid ice, sever the deep hatred!"
"Arghhhhhhhh!"
The great sword condensed from cold ice in Bai Ge's hand was thrust into the ground; at the same time, he had smeared some Schariac Holy Blood on the ice blade, and the moment it struck the Herrscher of Flame, it dissolved her meager 2000HW of Honkai energy.
How weak a Herrscher with only 2000HW is, is actually easy to imagine, because a certain Herrscher of Wind was 2000HW.
Being able to be circled by three B-rank Valkyries and knocked out by a Titan's punch shows just how pathetic that strength is.
To be honest, Bai Ge even had to carefully control his power to avoid accidentally finishing off the Herrscher of Flame while playing.
"Hmm, as expected of me, the timing was perfect!"
Bai Ge felt satisfied.
If someone had just recorded a video, they would be pleasantly surprised to find that it didn't even need editing; Bai Ge's set of moves matched Eden's singing perfectly.
Thump!
The Herrscher of Flame knelt before him.
She was calling out in her heart for the Garuda Honkai Beast to come and rescue her, but Bai Ge felt that after being entangled by four high-tier Fusion Warriors, that Garuda was already as good as dead.
"Now, it's time for you to return Himeko."
"Dream on! When I descended into this body, that woman's consciousness had already been swallowed by me, so… Himeko, she is already dead!"
The Herrscher of Flame said with a grimace.
"Heh~ Sore wa dou kana!"
Bai Ge took out a bottle of cyan-blue potion from his hand.
He believed in Himeko; that woman's will would never easily yield or dissipate. In fact, in the original story, Himeko had retained some human consciousness until the very last moment, and besides…
"You're pushing thirty and still haven't found a boyfriend; I don't believe such an older single woman would be willing to die so easily."
"You, what did you say?"
The corner of the Herrscher of Flame's eye twitched; for some reason, she felt inexplicably angry, but the next second, the potion in Bai Ge's hand was injected into her neck.
【Godslayer Spear Pro·max】.
This was a potion created by fusing the HSN-b46 agent with ultra-high concentration Schariac Holy Blood, capable of completely separating the Herrscher's Honkai energy from the host.
With one injection, the Herrscher of Flame felt that she really had nothing left. At the same time, Bai Ge used the Authority of Reason to construct a pseudo-Fenghuang Down.
"Himeko, now is the time!"
"Argh, human, you, what have you done! How is this possible, this woman's consciousness was clearly already!"
"Already dead, right? As if! Although Aponia's Discipline cannot affect your actions, it can become a protective shield to preserve Himeko's consciousness."
Bai Ge had once asked Aponia to impose the Discipline of 【Never be an enemy to humanity】 on Himeko, but it hadn't taken effect because the Herrscher of Flame was a newly born consciousness, an independent personality.
But there wasn't only that one Discipline on Himeko.
There was another one: the Discipline of 【Never forget that you are human】.
Even though the Herrscher of Flame had swallowed Himeko's consciousness, under the influence of the Discipline, Himeko's consciousness had not been erased or assimilated, and now, as the Herrscher's consciousness became weak, she finally found an opportunity to counterattack.
"Ahhhh! I am… human, I am… Himeko! I'm not some Herrscher, you damn thing, get out of my head!"
Himeko held her head with both hands and screamed hysterically; at this moment, the light of humanity reappeared in her eyes.
Bai Ge hurriedly embraced the exhausted Himeko.
The Authority of the Herrscher of Sentience bloomed, and the White Flower healed the wounds on the red-haired beauty's body.
Even though they were caused by him.
"Himeko? How are you feeling?"
"Ha~ Thank you, Bai Ge…"
Himeko looked at the white-haired youth in front of her with tears in her eyes; under the protection of the Discipline, her consciousness had not dissipated, so she clearly remembered everything Bai Ge had done.
This usually sharp and capable female captain appeared so fragile at this moment; Himeko was incredibly grateful to Bai Ge for stopping her from causing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
After all, she was a warrior of the Fire Moth who protected humanity; killing a large number of people after becoming a Herrscher was something that made her feel even more desperate and pained than being killed.
But fortunately, Bai Ge had saved everyone.
He had even saved her, who should have already been dead.
Himeko gritted her teeth; this person had already given so much, so she had to respond as well. She reached her hand into her chest.
Then, a fiery red core was taken out by her.
"This… for you… this is the last thing I… can do… I can feel it… the Herrscher's consciousness… hasn't disappeared… she is still in me, Bai Ge… kill me."
As Himeko handed the Herrscher of Flame core to Bai Ge, she wore an expression of having given up; even if the core was removed, the Herrscher's consciousness had not disappeared, and she wanted to die as a human.
"If you can hold on, Himeko, I'll confess my feelings to you, how about that?" Bai Ge hesitated for a moment before saying.
"……Don't kill me, I'll live!"
Suddenly, this woman's will became firm.
Himeko clenched her hands, her eyes resolute; she instantly decided to continue fighting against the Herrscher of Flame's consciousness until the moment of victory!
