Chapter 839: Bai Ge: I will, ignite the sea of stars! (Please subscribe)

~7 min read 1,386 words

"Why haven't you died yet?"

"Why can you still live?"

"Why can you still roar?"

"Why are you still burning?".

On the battlefield between the Moon and Earth, the Herrscher of Finality, representing Honkai, couldn't help but ask this.

The god's golden eyes were full of horror; it was unknown how many times it had been, ten times, twenty times, or thirty times? Or more, the white-haired youth before her stood up again.

She had clearly pierced his heart, broken his wings, and destroyed his life several times, but even so, he stood up again and again.

Bai Ge's whole body was burning with flames.

That kind of life fire that seemed to be ignited with his own blood as fuel, even the Herrscher of Finality couldn't help but stare in a daze.

At this moment, this god who had destroyed countless civilizations was unsure if she could destroy this youth; even if she destroyed his body, his will would surely pick up the sword and continue to charge at her.

"Why persist to this extent."

The Herrscher of Finality asked involuntarily.

……………………

"How... long has it been? Without everyone's assistance... it's really tough, but soon... it will be okay."

Bai Ge didn't know how many times he had stood up himself.

Suddenly he found his hands were much smaller.

The An-Utu that he could only hold with one hand originally now required two hands.

Looking down, he realized his body had turned into the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old child; this was the side effect of Sheshe's resurrection ability being activated too many times, making his body smaller.

Now he had turned into the appearance of that young child when he first arrived in the previous civilization.

"Mei... how much time is needed for evacuation..."

"Enough, Bai Ge... are you okay, let's stop, okay... it's already enough, everyone has already gone to the World Bubble... you don't need to continue fighting anymore."

Mei's voice trembled, she said almost pleadingly.

"Haha... Mei... you're lying to me again... Mobius... tell me, how much more time is needed..."

"... Forty-five more minutes."

Mobius said the cruel reality with hesitation.

Just now, Bai Ge clashed with the Herrscher of Finality alone, holding out for forty-five minutes at the cost of dozens of deaths, allowing hundreds of millions of people on Earth to evacuate into the World Bubble.

However, to let the remaining 17% all evacuate, another forty-five minutes were needed.

"Hmm... I understand..."

Bai Ge nodded very calmly.

He looked up at the Herrscher of Finality, his eyes without a trace of surrender or admission of defeat, and the Deliverer greatsword that now required two hands to hold tightly also ignited with heavenly fire again.

For the Herrscher of Finality, even the Deliverer capable of burning mountains and boiling seas was just a small torch, yet no matter what she did, she couldn't extinguish this fire.

(Sure enough, without everyone's assistance, fighting this guy one-on-one will end up miserably; with Elysia and the others, I didn't die once in three hours, but now I've died dozens of times in just forty-five minutes, eh... a little... tired...)

Bai Ge turned to look at the Flame-Chasers behind him.

Kevin and the others were all in tears, sad and unwilling, but unlike Bai Ge who could quickly recover Honkai energy and get a continuous supply of energy support from the World Bubble.

Even if the Flame-Chasers' will was equally unyielding, their bodies no longer had the ability to fight.

"Why persist to this extent?"

At this time, Finality's question reached Bai Ge's ears.

"How? Even gods have things they don't know."

Bai Ge chuckled and said.

"Hmm, tell me why you persist so much; since I descended into the world, three days and eight hours have passed, you have already secured time that no civilization in the past has ever had, why continue? Why not be satisfied?"

The mission urged the Herrscher of Finality to kill Bai Ge, but at this moment, her question overcame the instinct of being Honkai.

The Herrscher of Finality felt she must know the answer.

Not as a god, but as an enemy who had fought this white-haired youth until now.

"Human... Bai Ge, with your ability, even if I destroy all humans and reset this era, you should be able to survive, and you could even let those people over there live together, so why do you fight me here?"

The Herrscher of Finality remembered Bai Ge's name.

This was the only human name she remembered.

And this Goddess of Honkai had never spoken so many words to a human in the past.

"Why save this failed era."

"…………"

Bai Ge stared at the Herrscher of Finality in silence for a while, also stunned for a moment; he supported the Deliverer greatsword with both hands, rested his chin on the hilt, and pondered for a while.

"Being asked by you like this, I just realized, I don't seem to have thought about this question much before; I walked to this step without knowing it, and when I came back to my senses, I was already standing in front of you."

"What? You blocked me for three days without even a reason to fight? This is impossible."

The Herrscher of Finality said decisively.

No one in this world knows better than her how strong Bai Ge's will is; he has crossed death dozens of times.

This strong will that even death cannot erase must have a source! Just like how fuel is needed for a fire to ignite, Bai Ge must also have a reason to fight.

"Of course, I certainly have a reason to fight."

The corners of Bai Ge's lips curled slightly, and those eyes filled with unyielding fighting spirit became gentle at this moment.

"Initially, I probably just came to this era because I thought saving the world was cool and I wanted the person I liked to live, trying to change the tragedy."

"But when I came to this time and space, I fell in love with a girl; I grew up with her, traveled the world with her, and saw the beauty of this civilization, this era."

"The journey with her made me like this world; after all, it is so beautiful, full of vitality and life, love and hope, making one want to protect it."

"Now I am sure, I love the world!"

The Herrscher of Finality stared at Bai Ge wordlessly; even though his body was covered in wounds and his life was like a candle in the wind, the youth's eyes were so bright.

"Bai Ge, Bai Ge..."

Tears overflowed from Elysia's eyes; she couldn't help but reach out to Bai Ge's back; at this moment, she really wanted to hug the youth she loved tightly.

"I made a promise with her that after everything is over, we will continue to travel, and to fulfill this promise, I must protect the civilization of this era!"

"Perhaps I cannot stop you from resetting this era, but as long as the people of this era are still here, then civilization is still here; even if you, Finality, make time flow backward, civilization will not be destroyed, and this... is my reason for fighting!"

"I will send life to the future!"

Bai Ge said, pressing his chest.

Now his body has become Noah's Ark; as long as they are in the World Bubble inside his body, everyone from the previous civilization can live to the future, and as long as the people of the previous civilization are still alive, then the previous civilization will not perish.

"... I don't understand, this civilization does not possess such value; it is the same as the countless civilizations I have destroyed in the past, all unqualified products that could not withstand Honkai's embrace."

Confusion appeared in the Herrscher of Finality's eyes, and at this moment, she did not realize that she had placed the value of a youth's life above the civilization of an entire era.

"Idiot!"

Bai Ge glared fiercely at Finality and reprimanded.

"The value of a civilization is not determined by whether it can withstand Honkai's embrace; you have never walked on the earth, never appreciated nature and art, and never seen the beauty and ugliness of human nature." ===== CHAPTER 840 =====
