Chapter 681

"Bai Ge, give me back the mask, hurry."

The next second, Kalpas immediately reached out to Bai Ge for the mask, because he felt he really couldn't hold his expression anymore.

He usually hid his face behind the mask.

Whether it was anger, happiness, or sadness, there was no need to have any control over his expression. After all, no one would see it anyway.

But this also led to his weak ability to manage expressions.

I'm afraid no one would think that Kalpas is actually a person with very rich facial expressions, completely different from the cold-faced man most people imagine.

"No, I'll take this mask as today's reward and souvenir. Hm, it's really cheap for you."

Bai Ge said as he washed Kalpas's Mad King mask, then put it on his own face, and asked Rin next to him.

"How is it? Does it suit me?"

"Mm! Brother-in-law, you're super handsome!"

"Haha, Rin's little mouth is really sweet. It seems that even if it's just to make you my sister, I have to marry Sakura in the future."

Bai Ge raised his hand to pat Rin's head, and by the way, gave Kalpas a demonstration of how to do a head-pat kill. There's a lot of knowledge in this, Kalpas, you're still too green.

"Damn, you guy."

"Kalpas, 【please】 calm down. By the way, I remember you still have another mask, right?"

Aponia immediately added a Discipline to Kalpas, and then said as if thinking of something.

"Ha ah?!"

"It's the mask Bai Ge gave you back then."

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

Kalpas was silent for a moment, then turned his head silently.

Bai Ge blinked in surprise and said.

"Hm? The mask I gave? Uh, didn't you say it had already been burned by flames?"

"Is that so? But I clearly saw last time that Kalpas kept it in his storage box."

"Aponia, please shut up!"

"Haha, what is this? So you cherished it that much, but ended up saying it was burned. Kalpas is too tsundere."

Bai Ge couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hmph!"

Kalpas, who couldn't say anything, could only snort heavily, thinking, what can I do? The mask you gave, Bai Ge, was too fragile. I almost broke it the first time I went on a mission wearing it. I didn't cherish anything.

In the end, Bai Ge still built a mask for Kalpas.

But this time it wasn't Tiga or the Mad King, but a mask of Kamen Rider Survival Ryuki.

"Why is it a strange mask again."

"Just tell me if you're wearing it or not."

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

In the end, Kalpas still wore it on his face. Bai Ge thought this guy was just someone whose mouth says no but his body says yes.

After that, they just strolled around together.

Bai Ge treated Rin and the nursing home children to play to their heart's content at a nearby amusement park until night, and then had a sumptuous dinner at a nearby restaurant.

"Everyone, please don't waste food."

Aponia was "gently" exhorting the children.

Rin, who was usually very picky, could only honestly finish the dishes she didn't like under this exhortation.

(Rin: "Ah, for some reason, I always feel that Mother Aponia is very scary from a certain perspective. I feel that if I disobey her, it will definitely be miserable. Gulu, looks like I can only eat...")

On the other side, Bai Ge was trying to pour alcohol for Kalpas.

Bai Mou really wanted to see what this irritable brother looked like when he was drunk. Anyway, he just provoked him a little, and the straightforward Kalpas fell for it and drank with him.

Becoming a Fusion Warrior doesn't increase immunity to alcohol; this has already been confirmed by Eden.

Although that Golden Singer likes to drink very much, she is just as easy to get drunk before or after becoming a Fusion Warrior, but... it's also possible that she is only easy to get drunk in front of Bai Ge.

After finishing a case of white liquor, Kalpas also felt a bit dizzy, then he shook his head and suddenly said.

"Bai Ge... do you have any annoying things... or people you hate? Tell me, I... will go help you kill them."

"Uh, why are you suddenly saying these things?"

"Hmph, who let me not know anything else besides fighting."

Kalpas said as he poured another drink for himself.

Afterward, he looked at his own hands with some disgust. He clearly wanted to do something to repay the white-haired boy in front of him, but Kalpas thought and thought and found that he was only good at killing.

Bai Ge patted his shoulder in comfort, and then also picked up a bottle of white liquor and drank it like water.

(Amazing...)

Watching him finish the strong liquor in one breath, the face behind Kalpas's mask also showed an expression of admiration.

"It's okay, things you don't know can be learned slowly. Anyway, after humanity defeats Honkai in the future and peaceful days arrive, we will have plenty of time to do what we want to do. Sigh~"

"Hm? Why are you sighing?"

"Nothing, it's just that the next Honkai might be a bit difficult. I've been having a headache recently."

Bai Ge knocked on his own head and said.

"What? Is the Herrscher below that powerful? That even you feel you can't beat it?"

Kalpas's eyes widened in surprise immediately.

He even crushed the wine bottle in his hand.

In the heart of this Mad King, the white-haired boy in front of him is the strongest person in the world. He can't imagine what enemy in this world can defeat Bai Ge.

Now after hearing Bai Mou say this, Kalpas found that he actually had a feeling of "faith shaking."

Bai Ge rolled his eyes and opened another bottle of liquor, saying.

"Who said I can't beat it? It's just the Ninth Herrscher. I can easily win even if I let her use two hands. It's just... the difficulty of saving everyone this time is a bit high. I haven't thought of a foolproof method. Sigh~ headache, hard to handle."

"Saving everyone... you are still so greedy, Bai Ge. Is it necessary?"

Kalpas clenched his hands and stared at him, asking.

"As for this, to be honest... it's not necessary."

Bai Ge smiled and shook his head. This answer made Kalpas's eyes behind the mask widen, almost thinking he had misheard.

However, in reality, Bai Ge indeed didn't need to do this.

After all, it doesn't matter how many people die. To him, this is just the "first round" of the game.

What he has to do in this round is just collect information, figure out who the Herrscher is, when the Great Honkai happens, and then wait for the "second round" of the game to start and clear it perfectly with this information.

Even if hundreds of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions of people die, it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as the reincarnation starts, everything will be reset to when the tragedy hasn't happened yet.

So Bai Ge actually doesn't need to worry. He could let the Herrscher of Rock descend and destroy the Mu Continent.

He doesn't even need to go on stage himself. At that time, he just needs to send Elysia, Sakura, Hua, Kevin, Kalpas, and the others to solve the Herrscher, while he sits in the command room and watches the show.

After all, everything can start over.

He will eventually be able to save everyone.

So Bai Ge doesn't need to be so desperate in the "first round" trial round.

But...

"Although it's not necessary, I hate it most when tragedies happen in front of me but I can't do anything. So I will change it, I will save it. I won't let anyone die. I believe I can do it."

"... Bai Ge, I'll give you a piece of advice. You'd better give up the idea of saving everyone. If you keep pushing yourself this hard, then when one day you fail to save something, this place of yours... will be very painful."

Kalpas pointed to his heart and said.

Back when the Fifth Herrscher descended and killed everyone in his village, he had experienced that kind of pain.

That was a feeling more tormenting than death. If it was like this for someone like him, it went without saying for Bai Ge.

However, the white-haired boy smiled softly.

"I won't give up~ have a little confidence in me, Kalpas. I'm your savior, after all. And haven't I already succeeded twice? Anyway, it's just creating another miracle. You guys just believe in me."

"... You've always been like this."

Kalpas took a deep breath and sighed. Behind the mask, he looked at Bai Ge with indescribable envy in his eyes.

This boy is always able to save everyone, easily accomplishing things Kalpas wouldn't dare to imagine. It's as if there's no tragedy in this world he can't change.

Kalpas deeply envied Bai Ge.

And precisely because he knew how amazing he was, Kalpas would unconditionally obey Bai Ge's orders every mission. Otherwise, even Dr. MEI wouldn't be able to make this irritable brother listen obediently.

"Since you insist on pursuing perfection, Bai Ge, then do as you please. Anyway, just tell me what to do. Whether it's a Honkai Beast or a Herrscher, as long as you tell me who the target is, I'll go tear them apart!"
