Chapter 65: Encountering Bronya

Inside the Anti-Entropy base.

Of course, Schicksal was not the only faction to observe the awakening of the Herrscher of the Void; as their old rival, Anti-Entropy naturally detected Bai Ge's presence as well.

"Has this day finally come? A new Herrscher has awakened," said a man with brown hair, glasses, and the face of a mature adult.

He was the First Herrscher, Welt Yang.

The first Herrscher of the current civilization to stand on the side of humanity, the second Herrscher of Reason who inherited the core of the first, and a master of sit-ups known by the name of the world.

At this moment, he had finished reading the report on Bai Ge, and then he clenched his hands tightly.

"Einstein, what do you think?"

"First, it is certain that he possesses humanity. After all, the Herrscher of the Void protected those children. I think... at the very least, he is an object worth contacting. If we can succeed, then..."

"The world will welcome the second Herrscher to stand on the side of humanity... huh? It seems I must go personally. Schicksal must be taking action as well."

"Yang, you must be careful. Although this Herrscher of the Void has not yet shown an evil personality, his authority far exceeds yours. Judging by the way he destroyed the Schicksal research facility, he is definitely not someone soft-hearted."

Dr. Einstein said with a serious expression. In her view, Bai Ge's stance was Chaotic Good; if the contact was handled improperly, there would still be a risk of pushing him to the opposing side.

And to be honest, she did not hold much hope for Welt Yang's negotiation skills.

"Hmm, I know, but he is worth us taking some risks to make contact."

"I understand. Dr. Tesla has already mobilized the Titan troops; if the situation goes wrong, they will provide support immediately."

"Then I will leave it to her... Eh~ Second Herrscher, Herrscher of the Void, what kind of changes will your appearance bring to the world? I hope it is in a good direction."

Welt's gaze looked into the distance.

Although he did not know if a good result could be achieved, whether good or bad,

the will he inherited from the first Herrscher of Reason, Joyce, as well as Welt's own beliefs, would make him fight for humanity unswervingly.

……………………

Meanwhile.

Just as Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were both stirring, Bai Ge, the center of the incident, was currently worrying about the meals for his little angels.

"A miscalculation. I didn't expect the supplies in this place to be so scarce, and I forgot that we don't have any money."

"Master, should Bella go and rob some?"

"No way. We have principles. Dealing with bad guys to the death is fine, but for ordinary people who haven't provoked us, it's best not to use our authority."

Bai Ge shook his head and rejected the idea.

After transferring to this small town via his authority, he discovered that the supplies in this area were extremely scarce.

People who couldn't get enough to eat were everywhere.

Although there were some small shops selling things, they didn't have any usable currency.

Bai Ge touched Sirin's head apologetically. The latter immediately shook her head and threw herself into his arms, indicating that it didn't matter and that this was not his fault at all.

"Emmm, should we go catch fish in the river?"

Bai Ge thought hesitantly, but this seemed to be a good method indeed.

Using the authority of the Void to catch fish would certainly be convenient, and with the authority of the Flame, he could build a fire to grill fish even in the ice and snow, and use the authority of Death to kill any bacteria.

Bai Ge: "Hmm, that's a plan!"

This person didn't mind at all using these powers that were supposed to destroy the world for something like grilling fish, but such an unconventional thought still left the Honkai God in Bai Ge's mind speechless.

(Honkai God: What kind of person did this damn thing choose!)

By the way, Bai Ge's longing for Mei increased. He now super missed the cook who prepared delicious lunches for him every day.

Mei, hungry, food, jpg.

(Speaking of which, if I calculate the time, the current Mei is probably just a loli in elementary school. Hmm, I kind of want to see her. Should I open a portal and take a look?)

"Little ones, are you hungry?"

"Hmm? Who is that?"

Bai Ge, who was in a daze, heard a woman's voice.

He turned his head and his eyes widened immediately, instantly wondering if he was hallucinating.

(Holy crap, what is going on with this Big Duck?!)

No, she was even bigger than the Big Duck in A Post-Honkai Odyssey!

However, she had the same twin-tail spiral hairstyle as Bronya, but her figure was very different from the Big Duck, and the temperament between the two was also very obviously different.

The woman in front of him smiled very gently, and her eyes were also very gentle, looking just like an ordinary mother. Er, it should be said that she was indeed a mother.

She wore a ring on the ring finger of her left hand, and... her belly was bulging; she was a pregnant woman.

"Who, who are you?" Sirin and the others shrank behind Bai Ge like frightened little animals.

For children like them who had experienced the Babylon Labs, the word 'adult' was no different from 'bad guy'.

This pregnant woman with the Duck-face looked a bit embarrassed and hurriedly took a few cans out of her bag.

"Don't be afraid, Auntie is not a bad person. I just saw that you seem very hungry. I still have some canned food here. Do you want to eat?"

"You, you want to give us food to eat?"

"Yes, you are still young, you must eat well to grow up healthy."

The woman radiated pure kindness.

This was the first time Sirin and the others had received kindness from someone other than Bai Ge, and for a moment they were at a loss, not knowing how to react.

This pregnant woman with the Duck-face also looked at a loss. It could only be said that both sides were very clumsy. In the end, Bai Ge took the cans and said thank you.

"Thank you, Madam. May I ask your name? Er, so we can thank you in the future."

"Oh, what a polite child. Auntie is called Alexandra Pavlovna Zaychik, but there is no need for repayment. As an adult, how can I let children like you go hungry?"

"……Thank you."

Bai Ge had already confirmed it. Alexandra Pavlovna Zaychik, this was the name of Bronya's mother.

This meant that the child currently in this pregnant woman's belly was the Duck herself!!!

Bai Ge's heart was very shocked, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind, as if the gears of thinking had engaged. He remembered that the original plot mentioned Bronya's parents, who were also victims of the Second Honkai disaster.

They lived in the Siberia region during this period, but in the end, only Bronya's mother escaped from the disaster in time, while the father died due to a Honkai beast attack.

"Er, sorry." Bai Ge subconsciously raised his hand toward Alexandra's belly, but stopped immediately.

He knew that for a pregnant woman, the child in her belly was a treasure more important than her own life.

"It's okay, it's okay. This child will be born in a few months. I am still a little nervous now. I hope she can grow up healthy."

Alexandra gently stroked her belly, and that maternal love was almost overflowing.

In fact, her family's food was not abundant either; Bronya's father even had to sell arms to earn money for milk powder.

However, when Alexandra saw Sirin and the other children frowning and feeling sad because they were hungry, she still chose to share the food with them.

Perhaps it was pure kindness, perhaps she associated them with her own child, or perhaps she wanted to do more good deeds to accumulate merit for her unborn daughter.

But no matter which one it was, it came from the brilliant maternal love of a mother.

Sirin and the others were stunned for a moment. They didn't know what that was, but their instincts were yearning for it.

"……Hmm, she definitely will."

Bai Ge nodded and said.

He knew the plot, so he also knew Bronya's childhood, which could not be called beautiful. Although he couldn't change those things yet, Bai Ge still did what he could do now.

The authority of the Herrscher of Death was quietly activated.

But it was not to bring death.

It was to bestow more vitality.

Making the body of this Duck-mother healthy.

After all, the diet here in the Great Bear was too focused on meat, and vegetables were scarce and expensive, often causing problems like malnutrition and lack of Vitamin C.

Bai Ge's move could be considered repaying the kindness of these few cans, and it was also a blessing to this mother and the unborn little Bronya. ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
