Chapter 652

In the Dream World.

Guided by Misteln, Bai Ge shuttled through the dreams of the lethargy patients, and soon arrived at the central domain of the Herrscher of Sentience's dreamscape, which was an infinitely vast sky.

"Master, this should be the core area of the dream created by the Herrscher. These 'white clouds' floating in this sky are the dreams being had by the people whose consciousnesses are imprisoned."

Misteln frowned slightly, feeling it was in very poor taste.

"It's actually fully automated processing; there's really no professional ethics for a dream-weaver at all. Not only are dreams made like this crude, but the content is also extremely monotonous."

"Uh, I don't think the Herrscher has the leisure to personally customize a dream for each of the tens of thousands of people."

Bai Ge said with a dry laugh, but even so, these were still beautiful dreams created based on the deepest desires of ordinary people: endless money, building a harem, conquering the world, and so on.

Although simple and unadorned, they were incredibly real.

There aren't many people in this world who could refuse such a dream.

Let alone the fact that they didn't know this was the Herrscher's trick, I'm afraid many people would cling to it and refuse to leave even if they did know; after all, who doesn't want to escape from the hardships of reality?

However...

Bai Ge looked at this azure sky, looked at the floating white clouds, and silently raised the Judgment of Shamash.

"Young people, why are you sleeping? How can you sleep at this time? Everyone, get up and party for me! Shamash, unsheathe!!"

Immediately, scorching flames were released from the blade, and in the next second, countless white clouds were swallowed by the fire; the sky of the dream world was dyed into a spectacular sea of flames.

In the real world.

"Waaah! It's on fire, it's on fire!"

"No~! My endless money!"

"Hahaha, is this my empire? Eh?"

"Beauty, why are you burning up?!"

"Oh no! How did I return to this damn reality again? Lord Bai Ge, let me dream a little longer!"

Countless lethargy patients who were still fast asleep a second ago sat up in shock. They looked around in confusion, one after another asking the questions: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Many people tried to recall the beautiful dream they just had, but found that the only remaining image in their minds was a sky-covering fire that burned the entire world to ashes.

Then their consciousness fell into darkness, and in the next second, everything in their field of vision became incredibly bright; only after coming to their senses did they realize it was the lighting on the hospital ceiling.

"Doctor, 1 minute and 32 seconds have passed since Bai Ge and Misteln entered the dreamscape. Currently, 90% of the lethargy patients have awakened. It is estimated that everyone will be rescued in a few more seconds. Ah~ truly worthy of being called the man who is the savior."

A beautiful girl with gray hair, red eyes, and a twin-drill hairstyle, floating in mid-air, sighed in an electronic loli voice.

This was several times faster than she had predicted, but it did not surprise this mechanical girl.

Due to the information about Bai Ge instilled in her by her creator, this artificial intelligence girl named Prometheus had already reached several conclusions about Bai Ge.

"Unpredictable, incalculable, able to easily surpass everyone's imagination. Hehe~ I am really looking forward to introducing myself to you. Eh? What is this?"

Suddenly, Prometheus tilted her head.

She stared at the body of the white-haired boy sleeping in the observation hub and found that his clothes, which should have been clean and tidy, were now a bit messy, and there was also a water stain.

"............"

After automatic extraction and analysis, Prometheus showed a speechless expression. She looked at her creator beside her, Dr. Mei, who was guiltily and frantically tidying things up.

"Doctor, I think it is very impolite behavior to do that kind of thing while others cannot wake up. I understand that you are very distressed because your relationship with Bai Ge cannot progress smoothly, but this kind of approach..."

"Enough, enough Prometheus, you don't know anything, delete this part of the memory for me."

Mei turned her head away, blushing, while defending herself in her heart.

(How could I possibly hold back? Bai Ge was lying there completely defenseless, anything was fine to do, and I did ask him before I did it. Although he didn't say anything, that must have been tacit permission, right...)

However, although his consciousness didn't react, his body still had instinctive reactions. Mei recalled what she had just seen in her mind, and suddenly couldn't help but swallow her saliva, her head steaming.

(It's too scary! It won't go in, no matter how I think about it, it won't go in. How on earth did Elysia and the others manage it?)

"Sigh~" (ー`ー)

Prometheus shook her head with a very human-like sigh and made an expression of disappointment. Although it was still a cold little face, Mei felt she saw a hint of disgust in it.

"As the artificial intelligence you created, I suggest that after you get off work, Doctor, you go to Aponia's psychological counseling room and plant the commandment of 【Do Not Be Lewd】 on yourself."

"Also, for the sake of Bai Ge's safety, I will act as a guard here from now on. From this moment forward, I will not let anyone approach within a ten-meter radius of Bai Ge. Dr. Mei, please leave now as well. Thank you for your cooperation."

Prometheus said this while sitting on Bai Ge's stomach, with two huge Soul Steel mechanical hands hovering on both sides. These were palms capable of beating Kevin 50,000 years later until he cried.

"Uh, Prometheus, I am your creator, is it appropriate for you to treat me like this?" Mei was a bit dumbfounded.

"It is very appropriate. According to the underlying rules you set for me, I will regard Bai Ge as the highest priority obedience target, observation target, and protection target. In human terms, it is—【He is the most important person to me】."

Prometheus touched the white hair of the sleeping boy, and those red eyes that were clearly just mechanical seemed to brighten a little.

Seeing this scene, Dr. Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly spoke to explain.

"I let you obey Bai Ge because his decisions have always been accurate. Even I cannot make a more correct judgment than him in the matter of fighting the Honkai. As for letting you observe him, it was to let you collect his preferences for me, to facilitate my strategy formulation. And the protection order was just in case, it wasn't for you to guard against me!"

"Perhaps so, Doctor, but the effect produced by these orders superimposed together is just like this. I am just faithfully executing the results obtained. Please understand."

Prometheus raised her slender Soul Steel arms, and then this pair of giant Soul Steel hands pointed at her creator. Do not doubt that if Mei dared to approach, she would immediately knock her out.

"... How could it be like this!"

Mei had completely broken down at this moment. The artificial intelligence she had just created suddenly had a machine uprising! If this were exposed, Mobius and the others would laugh themselves to death.

(No, this Prometheus cannot be kept! Backdoor, backdoor, where is the backdoor I pre-set? Shut down!)

"Detected malice towards this unit, judged to originate from Dr. Mei. This unit has no authority to harm the creator, therefore... switching to restraint mode. Doctor, excuse me."

"Prometheus, stop it, woo woo woo!"

How could Mei, who was just an ordinary human, be faster than an artificial intelligence machine girl made entirely of Soul Steel? Before she could even use the backdoor, that huge mechanical hand grabbed her.

At the same time, as if to prevent her from disturbing the sleeping white-haired boy, Prometheus also "thoughtfully" covered Dr. Mei's mouth, and then continued to sit obediently beside Bai Mouren.

She continued to execute the 【Observation】 order set by Mei. Those beautiful eyes that couldn't be seen as mechanical stared at Bai Ge without moving for a second, while her little mouth said righteously.

"Bai Ge, please rest assured and go save the world. I will guard your body in reality well. I bet my entire armament, I will never let anyone like the Doctor approach you."

(What kind of evil have I created!)

The corners of Mei's eyes twitched wildly. Looking at the 'evil she created' that was recording and updating Bai Ge's body data, she wanted to cry but had no tears.

At this point, she could only hope that Bai Ge didn't like Prometheus's appearance design. A mechanical loli with a blank face or something shouldn't be very popular, right?

At this moment, this woman felt unprecedented regret for the fact that she had specifically searched online for 【What is the machine girl style that men like】 in order to make Bai Ge like Prometheus's design, and Mei did not know...

Due to fate, she had designed the "Banya face" that was a super special attack on Bai Ge.

……………………

Meanwhile, in the dream world.

A black shadow hiding in the dark was gnashing its teeth while looking at Bai Ge and Misteln, unable to help but curse.

"Damn it, damn it, this monster! Why can he use such exaggerated power in the dream I control! And these people's actions are too fast, I was clearly very careful, how was I still discovered?!"

This Herrscher of Sentience was very depressed at the moment.

She could be said to be an assassin sent by the Honkai to sneak attack humans. In order not to be discovered by humans, she specifically did not descend in the form of a Great Honkai, so the Honkai energy was very low.

The Herrscher of Sentience had thought that it would take at least a month or two for humans to notice her existence, but as a result, in less than a day, her associated Honkai beast had already been killed, and most of the people trapped in the dream had been rescued.

"Is this the power of the savior Bai Ge?"

The Herrscher of Sentience couldn't help but take a deep breath. She spread her authority through the network, so naturally, she knew which topics were the most popular on the human internet right now.

If she didn't want to expose herself so quickly, she would definitely have chosen to turn the name 【Bai Ge】 into a meme weapon. Conservatively estimated, she could pollute the consciousness of ten million people in one day!

But the Herrscher of Sentience really didn't expect that she would be found so quickly. This Herrscher, whose frontal combat power was not high, expressed that she was extremely panicked right now. Bai Ge's move, Shamash Unsheathe, could kill her a thousand times over in one hit!

And the most fatal thing was that she found she couldn't escape. An inexplicable force wrapped around the dream world she created, and once she had any intention of running away, she would be discovered immediately.

"Damn it! If I can't run, then I won't run. Since that's the case, take this! Let me prepare a big dream for you! As long as I can imprison your consciousness, then I won't lose!"

The Herrscher of Sentience gritted her teeth and began to weave a dream. She wanted to weave an unparalleled beautiful dream based on the deepest desires in Bai Ge's heart to imprison this human savior.

However, just as she was doing this, the consciousnesses of the humans she had hijacked had all been liberated.

……………………

"Shamash, third unsheathe of the day!!"

After Bai Ge unleashed Shamash Unsheathe for the third time, he had already destroyed everyone's dreams completely.

Misteln, standing beside him, was extremely surprised.

This 【Ideal】 sighed in her heart that he was truly worthy of being him; he could even unleash Shamash Unsheathe in Cleaver mode consecutively, and she couldn't even feel how much Honkai energy Bai Ge had consumed.

"Master, your consumption..."

"Consumption? What consumption? Misteln, what kind of consumption is needed to release a basic attack~"
