Chapter 802

Snow-white long hair, and a cherry-colored ponytail just like her own; no matter which side it was, it was a color she loved.

"I really hope this period of time lasts forever."

She said subconsciously, the young girl leaning against the giant cherry blossom tree behind her, unable to help but start fantasizing about the future.

Sakura's desire was very simple: as long as she could be together forever with the two people on her lap, the three of them living a plain and ordinary happy life, never to be hurt again.

In the future, perhaps she could rebuild the shrine; that way, even if she wore a shrine maiden outfit every day, it would be perfectly normal, and she could dance the Kagura for Bai Ge anytime, anywhere.

Just thinking about it made Sakura reveal a look of longing.

In fact, she was also a little sleepy.

But she couldn't bear to close her eyes for a nap no matter what.

Because the white-haired boy and the cherry-haired girl on her lap, their defenseless sleeping faces—no matter how much she looked at them, she couldn't get enough; Sakura really wanted time to stop forever at this moment.

However, she still found something to do for herself; petals drifting down from the cherry tree behind her would occasionally land on Bai Ge's and Lin's faces, and the young girl tirelessly kept picking them off.

But this peace and beauty could not last too long.

"!!!"

Suddenly, a massive amount of Honkai energy appeared!

It wasn't that a high-tier Honkai beast had been born.

Nor was it leaking from Bai Ge or herself.

Rather, it was radiating from within the body of the ordinary girl, Lin!

"Sakura, the Herrscher of Corruption has already arrived."

Bai Ge, who had been fast asleep the second before, suddenly opened his eyes; his relaxed nerves had already tightened again, and at this moment, the white-haired boy had once again become the Flame-Chaser bearing the title of 【Deliverance】.

Sakura looked at this scene helplessly, her hands clenched tight.

"Bai Ge, I'll leave it to you."

"Mm, with me here, Lin won't become a Herrscher."

Looking at the pink-haired girl who was still fast asleep at this moment, completely unaware that a Herrscher had already descended upon her, Bai Ge carefully began to check Lin's current state.

After half a minute, he let out a sigh of relief, his face showing joy.

Just like the original plot, although Lin had become the vessel for the Herrscher of Corruption and already possessed massive Honkai energy!

She hadn't directly turned into a Herrscher yet.

The birth of the Herrscher of Corruption in the previous civilization had a condition, and that was the death of the vessel—that is, Lin.

In the original fate, the soldiers of the Moth who harbored deep resentment toward the Honkai, fearing Lin who had become the vessel of the Herrscher of Corruption, cruelly killed her; and only after Lin was killed did the Herrscher of Corruption within her fully awaken.

After awakening, the Herrscher of Corruption, out of hatred, corrupted the base of the Moth, launched mushroom bombs toward the last three remaining cities of humanity, and completely wiped out the future of the previous civilization.

(But it's a bit strange; I originally thought the Honkai would make some changes at least, after all, the Herrscher of Rock, the Thousand, and Binding had all become different from the settings because of my existence—how come Corruption hasn't changed at all?)

After pondering for a moment without finding an answer, Bai Ge temporarily gave up on thinking, and subsequently, he took out the Divine Key Fenghuang Down, as well as the Oath of Judah.

Afterward, he also opened a space gate, found Mei who was busy transporting supplies to the World Bubble, retrieved the Gem of Serenity, and inlaid the gem into the Divine Key, Void Archives.

Finally, Bai Ge opened the black box prepared by Vill-V, turning the vicinity into an offline domain completely isolated from the network.

". 「 Ready, give Lin to me."

"Mm, please."

Bai Ge held Lin in his arms with one hand, and then the Void Archives containing the Gem of Serenity reached toward the girl's chest.

(As expected, the Herrscher core has already appeared.)

Because of Vill-V's modifications, the second version of the second Divine Key, Void Archives, was specially enhanced with the function of extracting cores/digging into hearts; Bai Ge easily broke through the core's protection mechanism.

However, the feeling of being hollowed out was still quite stimulating.

Lin also woke up from her sleep all of a sudden.

And then...

"Sis, sis, brother-in-law, what are you doing?!"

Lin opened her eyes wide; she had been sleeping soundly, but suddenly noticed something reaching into her body, and upon opening her eyes, she discovered that her own brother-in-law was actually digging into her heart!

Lin couldn't help but think of an anime she had watched, but she couldn't pull a three-meter-long greatsword out of her chest!

"Don't worry Lin, it will be over soon."

"Be good, Lin, just leave everything to Bai Ge."

"???"

Looking at her sister, who was specifically holding her hands to fix her body in place to prevent her from struggling, Lin was completely confused and had no idea what the situation was.

However, she wasn't stupid, and she guessed it very quickly.

In this world, the only answer Lin could think of for something that could make Bai Ge and Sakura show such solemn expressions was the Honkai.

And although she knew very little about the strength of her sister and Bai Mouren, she also knew that if it were just a Honkai beast, it certainly wouldn't make these two show such expressions.

Then there was only one answer left.

"Sis, brother-in-law, I'm not going to turn into a Herrscher, am I?"

Lin swallowed and asked with a trembling voice.

"Mm, Lin, you are the final small BOSS."

Bai Ge nodded affirmatively, while his hand continued to search for the Herrscher core in the imaginary space within Lin's body without a moment's pause.

"I wake up and the BOSS turns out to be me? Wuwuwu! I don't want to! Brother-in-law, help, I don't want to be a Herrscher!"

As long as one was a person of the previous civilization, even a three-year-old child knew what a Herrscher represented.

Humanity's enemy, God's apostle, the destroyer of civilization, and... the villain character who would definitely be subjugated by the Savior!

Lin was teary-eyed and already scared to tears.

(I'm not having a nightmare, am I! Could it be because I secretly hid brother-in-law's doujinshi and had improper thoughts about this person, so Heaven is punishing me this way? That's too much, it shouldn't be that bad!)

(Wuwuwu, it's over, it's over, brother-in-law's hand has already started digging into my heart; by the way, before you kill me, can you let me delete my browser history first!)

"Brother-in-law, uh no, Big Brother Bai."

After a moment of heart-trembling fear.

Lin took a deep breath as if she had come to some realization; the pink-haired girl looked at Bai Ge with burning eyes.

"Mm? What is it?"

"I like you, the kind of like for a sister."

"!!!" x2

Bai Ge and Sakura opened their eyes wide at the same time.

The former's hand, which was digging for the core, almost shrank back; the latter trembled all over, her fox ears standing straight up.

"A-anyway, I'm going to die soon, if I don't say it now, I won't have a chance to say it; let's just say it's so I don't have any regrets."

Lin said with a bitter smile, because the Moth had not made public the information about Seele and Himeko and the others, so in the eyes of the outside world, all Herrschers were already dead.

Plus, Sakura's secret-keeping work was done very well, so this girl didn't know she could still be saved.

"Lin, I didn't expect you to actually..."

"I fell in love at first sight by accident, didn't I? Don't worry, sister, but other than kissing Big Brother Bai after getting drunk last time, and occasionally fantasizing in my head, I haven't done anything else."

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

Sakura's face turned black instantly, and her hand rested on the hilt of Frozen Naraka unconsciously.

"Eh~ anyway, I'm going to die soon, sister, don't be angry, okay? Ah, and sorry, I actually hid Big Brother Bai's fan-made books, they're hidden under my bed; can you burn them for me later?"

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

Bai Ge's face also turned black.

And just at this moment, he finally touched the Herrscher core.

"Being your sister in this life, I think I'm very lucky, and I don't regret liking Big Brother Bai; wuwu, in the next life, I hope to meet you all again!"

Lin barely squeezed out a smile and said, and at this moment, she didn't realize the severity of this self-exposure at all.
