Chapter 697

The Herrscher of Finality was attracted unconsciously.

Back when she was a god, no matter how dazzling the boy's brilliance was, she wouldn't take it to heart.

But she had gained humanity now, and then this Honkai goddess found that she cared about Bai Ge immensely.

She was attracted by the white-haired boy's extremely strong self, and every time she fought him, the Herrscher of Finality found that she seemed to have changed as well; her emotions as a human were becoming stronger and stronger.

Therefore, the Herrscher of Finality developed a longing.

She longed for more battles with Bai Ge!

It didn't matter who won or lost.

The battle between the two of them was the thing that made her happiest.

Therefore...

"Superfluous guy, disappear!"

The Herrscher of Finality stared at Janna and roared for the first time. This was a sacred battle that she did not allow outsiders to intervene in, belonging only to herself and the white-haired boy.

Therefore, Janna's existence was like an impurity that defiled a magnificent and perfect gem to the Herrscher of Finality, so she had just tried to kill her forcibly regardless of consuming half of her Honkai energy.

This was absolutely, absolutely not because of jealousy!

However, the Herrscher of Finality had forgotten that compared to attacking, Bai Ge was actually better at defense. Even the map-wide attack she unleashed with all her might failed to break the white-haired boy's protection.

And...

"The sword body is ignited, charging complete!"

The Flame-Chaser greatsword in Bai Ge's hand turned into the form of the Unkindled Finality again. The map-wide attack just now allowed him to absorb enough power of Finality again. He could now release a sword strike that could ignite the star sea and slay gods.

"This battle, it's time to end!"

"End? Don't even think about it! Before I say it can end, Bai Ge, you must fight me forever."

"That won't do. After all, it's getting late, I need to hurry home for dinner."

Bai Ge said calmly, and then raised the Unkindled Finality covered in black flames toward the goddess in front of him.

At the same time, his body, which carried the power of Finality, was covered with countless fine golden patterns. At least at this moment, Bai Ge had indeed stepped into the level of the Herrscher of Finality.

Janna, who was on the side, sighed infatuatedly: "．「 So, is this the reason why the Honkai made me your lover."

Although it was very reluctant, Bai Ge had indeed accommodated this power of Finality that no one had been able to bear until now, and this also proved that he was the only human in this world who could bear the embrace of the Honkai.

Therefore, the Cocoon of Finality was longing for Bai Ge.

Longing for this miracle that it had tried for hundreds of millions of years, at the cost of countless civilizations, but had never reached.

"Come on, Finality, let me test the sword!"

"Hmph! You can't hit me!"

The Herrscher of Finality said confidently. Having faced this sword strike that was enough to severely injure or even slay her several times, she was no longer as panicked and disheveled as she was at the beginning.

And although there was a difference in technique between her and Bai Ge, she could dodge this straightforward sword strike.

(You've dodged so many of my attacks, if I can't even dodge one of yours, wouldn't I lose face.)

Subsequently, she succeeded as expected.

The Honkai goddess, who had become accustomed to Bai Ge's fighting, calmly dodged this sword strike that contained god-slaying power.

And the strike she dodged extended infinitely, as if it were going to split the entire Sea of Quanta.

"Tsk! Missed again. Sky-Devourer! Janna!"

Bai Ge shouted in a somewhat "exasperated" manner.

"Leave it to me!"

"Roar roar roar roar!" x9

Seeing this, Janna and Sky-Devourer no longer held back, both condensing all their Honkai energy and releasing their strongest strike with all their might toward the Herrscher of Finality.

Boom boom boom boom boom—!!! x2

Red Honkai energy beams that could turn everything into nothingness were released from the mouths of the two planetary-level Honkai beasts. The nearby light was swallowed and annihilated, and even this Sea of Quanta shook.

These were two beams of light with power enough to pierce through the Moon and Earth together. Even Bai Ge could not resist them.

However……

The Herrscher of Finality stood in place without moving at all.

She didn't take these two planet-killing attacks seriously at all. Her own health bar didn't drop even a bit. The only feeling was that the beam of light was a bit dazzling.

"How many more times do you need to try to understand that such attacks are useless to me? The only person in this world who has a chance to hurt me is Bai Ge."

"Alright, then as you wish, I will hurt you!"

"What?!"

Bai Ge's voice, close at hand, startled the Herrscher of Finality. Turning her head, she found that the white-haired boy had appeared behind her at some point, and the greatsword in his hand was still maintaining the Unkindled Finality mode.

"Could it be, you actually!"

The Herrscher of Finality understood in an instant.

Janna and Sky-Devourer's all-out attacks were just to make her think they were "struggling in vain." These beams of light that could pierce through a planet were just a decoy and a flashbang.

The real purpose was to block her vision, allowing Bai Ge to teleport to her blind spot in an instant.

And then deliver the decisive blow.

"The power of Finality contained in the attack you released just now was too much, enough for me to swing two or three more attacks."

"Even the first miss was to make me careless?"

"That's right, because after dodging it, you would surely think I no longer had the ability to hurt you. But now, everything will end, Herrscher of Finality!"

The Unkindled Finality sword was pressed against the god's chest at zero distance.

"Remember this salvation strike—God! Fall!"

"Urgh ah ah ah ah!!"

When the Flame-Chaser containing the power of Finality was unsheathed and swung, this Honkai goddess couldn't help but scream. The scorching flames burned on her body, burning her divine ceremonial dress.

After fifty thousand years, the Herrscher of Finality experienced pain again, and that locked health bar plummeted suddenly for the first time.

I only got back from my hometown at four o'clock, I'm exhausted...
