Chapter 624
She hated herself for being so contradictory.
Hated herself for tarnishing Bai Ge's great cause.
Hated herself for not even being able to die.
Originally, as an 【Ideal】, she had one last way to live, which was to forcibly awaken the stigmata sleeping in others' bodies. As long as she found a "Stigmata Adaptor" who was one in ten thousand, then someone could adapt to her existence.
But this is the previous civilization era!
Stigmata and the Stigmata Project didn't even exist yet!
It directly blocked the only path to self-salvation for this 【Ideal】 lady!
"Why, why did it have to be this result..."
The Schariac stigmata lady knelt on the ground in despair.
She thought of her experience of seeking death hundreds of times, of locking herself in a cave that no one could find, but none of it was useful. The will of the stigmata/person couldn't be killed.
Her existence would keep releasing massive amounts of Honkai energy, but even if she didn't crave death, she couldn't even imprison herself.
Because her form of existence was still unstable, occasionally she would suddenly return to the Stigmata Space from the real world, but even so, she would soon uncontrollably manifest again.
This meant she was "free."
No one could imprison her, not even herself, not even Vill-V's 【Deepest Place】 could contain her.
If she could, she really wanted to abandon this "freedom."
"I can't do anything..."
Tears symbolizing humanity couldn't stop overflowing from the 【Ideal】's eyes. Bai Ge felt deep sympathy and pity. He couldn't help but raise his hand and pull this stigmata elf born from him into his arms.
His brain was thinking rapidly about how to give her salvation.
She definitely shouldn't be such a tragic existence.
"Sorry, my stigmata, I cannot grant you death, but... I might be able to save you."
"Wha... t?"
"Let's try it. Perhaps I am just right to be able to make up for your flaws now."
Bai Ge said, activating the authority of the Herrscher of Life. A body without consciousness was generated in the white flowers.
The Schariac stigmata lady soon opened her eyes wide. She wasn't shocked by Bai Ge's power.
As the boy's stigmata, she knew all the power of her master and knew that this seemingly miraculous thing was just a trivial matter to Bai Ge.
Her shock was that three seconds had already passed, and this body hadn't died yet. Even if it didn't have a soul and couldn't be called a human, it was enough to be called a living life!
It was clearly so close to her, yet it didn't die from Honkai energy erosion. This shocked her immensely.
She looked at Bai Ge behind her in disbelief, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, wanting to know what Bai Ge had done to complete such a miracle!
"So it is as I thought, great."
Bai Ge also breathed a sigh of relief. He actually didn't have any certainty when he tried it.
"You, how on earth did you do it?!"
The Schariac stigmata lady hurriedly asked.
She had made countless attempts in these days, but the results were all failures. No one could survive within ten meters of her, not even an Emperor-class fusion warrior!
However, Bai Ge just shook his head and smiled.
"Actually, I didn't do anything."
"Impossible!!"
"Really, I didn't make any adjustments to this body, but if you have to ask what I did to keep it from dying, I can only say... because I am standing by your side right now."
Bai Ge said, opening a portal of the Herrscher of Void, pulling her directly into it. The two came to a nearby small town. This action startled the stigmata lady.
Just when the stigmata lady thought the town would turn into a hell on earth in the next second, and everyone would die.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
"Eh? Why, how come nothing happened?"
A full three seconds had passed, but everyone was still alive. The super-high concentration of Honkai energy of 30000HW that she was emitting at all times didn't bring death to anyone.
At this moment, the stigmata lady thought she was dreaming, but in the next second, she reacted that she couldn't dream... although she could construct and manipulate others' dreams.
"It seems Mobius can stop her research. My situation is exactly the opposite of yours. The area you pass through will have increased Honkai energy, but the area I pass through will have Honkai energy suppressed and cleared. We can offset each other's effects."
Bai Ge said with his arms crossed. He could feel that his restless holy blood had calmed down a lot.
"Actually, so easy?"
The stigmata lady said in a daze. The death she brought was so easily resolved. For a moment, she didn't have a real feeling, but this couldn't be said to be easy.
Because in this world, only Bai Ge could do this. After all, to offset someone with 30000HW of Honkai energy, at least one must have such high Honkai energy oneself.
Now only Bai Ge in the world had so much.
"Although I cannot grant you death, I might be able to grant you salvation. Now only the problem of 【unstable existence】 remains, but... this shouldn't be a difficult problem either."
"What did you say?"
"As long as you use me as a coordinate, then even if you return to the Stigmata Space, you won't be teleported to other places and accidentally cause harm the next time you manifest."
Bai Ge turned around and stood with his back to her. After all, from a certain angle, he was her home.
The Schariac stigmata was still on his back. Bai Ge could completely become the teleportation anchor for this 【Ideal】 to travel between the real world and the Stigmata Space.
As long as she descended by Bai Ge's side every time, the characteristics of clearing Honkai energy and amplifying Honkai energy would offset each other, and this Stigmata lady wouldn't cause any harm.
"As for the mistakes already made, let's make up for them by doing good deeds in the future. After all, you are my stigmata, and you are 【Ideal】, have some confidence in your ability."
"…………"
The Schariac stigmata lady looked at Bai Ge silently, with crystal tears flowing uncontrollably in her eyes.
Clearly, she only craved death.
But Bai Ge granted her salvation.
She trembled and raised her hand to hug the white-haired boy who created her. In the next second, sobbing sounds rang out.
The 【Ideal】 only felt that it was great that this person was her creator, because if it had been someone else with Schariac blood, they definitely wouldn't have been able to turn this despair around.
"Thank you, thank you, Master."
"Hmm, it's okay, the nightmare is over."
Bai Ge also hugged her back and patted the jade back of this 【Ideal】 comfortingly, thinking that although it was a coincidence, he had indeed rewritten a tragedy.
(Perhaps it's thanks to me that she was born. If it were Cecilia doing it like in the original plot, I'm afraid that all the people saved wouldn't be enough to compensate.)
After all, not everyone has the authority of the Herrscher of Life, and can recover quickly even if the holy blood is exhausted.
· ·······Asking for flowers····· ·
And it also allowed the stigmata to complete an evolution, just right to offset the negative effects of this 【Ideal】.
Cecilia was killed by the dog-like Otto using a fission bomb after using 【Holy Blood Liberation · White Flower Bloom】 in the original plot.
If she could have survived, perhaps she could have achieved complementarity with the 【Ideal】 just like Bai Ge did.
Then it wouldn't have caused the "Hare" to uncontrollably kill so many people in Siberia in the original plot. Hmm, it can only be said that it's all Otto's fault! It's all his pot!
"By the way, there is one more important thing I haven't done."
"Hmm? Important thing?"
"Hmm, I have to give you a name. After all, 'Schariac stigmata lady' is too long, and 【Ideal】 sounds weird. As the person who made you born, I think I have this qualification."
Bai Ge stared at her with expectation, thinking, Mother Bronya, I've done the living part for you, you're welcome~
"Of course, my master, please feel free."
This 【Ideal】 couldn't help but think that her master really liked doing this kind of thing. The name of a certain pink fairy lady was also given by him back then.
What kind of name would she get?
Thinking of this, this stigmata elf couldn't help but feel new expectation, her lips curling up... This was probably the first time she had shown a true smile since she was born into the world.
"Misteln! Misteln Schariac!"
Bai Ge didn't even hesitate for a second, immediately giving her the name that should have belonged to her.
The stigmata lady opened her eyes wide in surprise. With the vast amount of knowledge she was born with, she immediately knew the origin of the name.
"Misteln, is it Mistletoe?"
"That's right. In some myths, Mistletoe represents 【Death】, but in others, it is closely related to 【Life】. And Misteln is the best-sounding pronunciation among all Mistletoe languages. I think it suits you very well."
"It's a very good name, but for me, is it too pleasant? I don't think I deserve it..."
The 【Ideal】 said hesitantly and tangled.
She liked this beautiful, elegant, and pleasant name as soon as she heard it, but thinking of the sins she had committed so far, she felt she really didn't deserve it.
Of course, what she deserved even less was the "Schariac" behind it, the surname that symbolized the "Saint of Salvation."
