Chapter 917: , the companion Honkai Beast of the Herrscher of Finality (seeking auto-subscription)
After receiving all the Divine Keys from Vill-V, if the 1,000 cores of the Herrscher of Dominance were counted as a whole, Bai Ge had now become a 13-core Herrscher.
At the same time, he had also learned the lesson from the first cycle and ordered everyone in the previous civilization to evacuate into the World Bubble early.
Now, as long as Finality didn't pop out in the next second, Bai Ge didn't need to risk his life to stall for time like in the past.
Incidentally, to align with the development of the current civilization, Bai Ge had the Fire Moth forge two Durandal holy swords, one of which had "accidentally" been thrown into the Sea of Quanta.
It was just waiting for the future Dudu to find it.
"Speaking of which, no matter how much I increase the civilization's strength, Finality is still Finality. Emmm, perhaps in the eyes of the Honkai, even without strengthening the Herrscher of Finality, she already possesses the power to crush humanity and restart civilization."
Bai Ge played with the Divine Key in his hand and muttered to himself.
This was undoubtedly a fact. If an outlier like him didn't exist, the previous civilization would have at most persisted for half a day before being destroyed and restarted. However, everything was different now.
Having experienced ten reincarnations, Bai Ge had already figured out the Herrscher of Finality's behavior pattern. To be realistic, he could fight her with his eyes closed, or even not fight at all.
After all, once Finality descended, everyone from the previous civilization would have already evacuated into the World Bubble. At that time, it wouldn't matter if he let her restart civilization directly.
"Uh, that's not quite it either. Still have to fight a bit. At least I have to let Prometheus become the Honkai Will, and my plan also needs the Herrscher of Finality to lend me a hand."
Bai Ge's eyes narrowed slightly. He thought through and checked "that plan" for any flaws in his mind for the umpteenth time. Only after confirming it was feasible did he show a smile again.
He looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.
Bai Ge felt it was incredible that he was so relaxed. He didn't feel nervous at all; he even had a sense of anticipation, as if he were "about to see an old friend."
"Sorry, Finality. For the sake of my plan, I have to drain you dry this time."
Although in reality, it was still one Herrscher short of Finality, Bai Mou couldn't muster any vigilance toward Corruption. In ten reincarnations, Corruption was always the easiest one to pass; it was completely sent by the Honkai to deliver a head to him.
He glanced at the last two hourglasses.
There was less than a day left for Corruption.
And there was less than two days left for Finality.
……………………
Ten hours later, inside the Fire Moth base.
After waiting for the Herrscher of Corruption to descend, Bai Ge simply took Rin to a room completely isolated from the network and pulled out the corruption gem that had just been born a few seconds ago.
Then, with practiced movements, he sent the consciousness of the Herrscher of Corruption inside the gem into the body of Yae Kasumi he had prepared in advance.
And then...
"Wuaaaah! I surrender! Please let me go! As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything!"
"You're like this every time..."
After losing her authority, the Herrscher of Corruption—or rather, Yae Kasumi—trembled in fear directly, performing a clean and neat kowtow to Bai Ge while her head kept hitting the ground.
Bai Ge raised his hand to comfortingly stroke her head, his eyes full of favor, his gaze so gentle!
But this was a matter of course. After all, who told this girl to be the one who saved him the most effort and energy every time?
Compared to the other Herrschers, the Herrscher of Corruption's performance was too sensible; Bai Ge didn't need to waste any effort at all.
And from her, Bai Ge could also see the Honkai's idea of wanting to skip levels to the boss fight quickly. After all, Corruption's treatment was too casual; not only was there no massive Honkai disaster, but there wasn't even the companion Honkai Beast that was standard for other Herrschers besides the Herrscher of Reason.
This child was like a free gift with a phone plan; anyway, she didn't look like a Herrscher born to the Honkai at all.
"Rest assured, don't be afraid, Corruption. You are so obedient and sensible, how could we kill you? Eh~ I really hope the following Herrschers can learn from you."
"Oh right, from now on, Yae Kasumi is your new name. Get along well with humans from now on. Believe me, a beautiful and bright future is waiting for you ahead."
Bai Ge comforted the Herrscher of Corruption and said.
"Eh?"
At this moment, Corruption was dumbfounded. The Honkai hadn't given her any orders, but this already meant that she was sent here to die quickly so that Finality could prepare to take the stage.
Corruption actually felt she was dead for sure. She originally wanted to struggle a bit, but as a result, just a few seconds after she was born, the core where her consciousness resided had already been pulled out by Bai Mou.
Originally, this poor child was already in despair.
But Bai Ge not only didn't kill her, but also prepared a cute new body for her, and even hugged and stroked her so gently. The Herrscher of Corruption was completely stupid, thinking, why is this human so good to me?
However, she also had an inexplicable sense of intimacy toward Bai Ge.
Because she surrendered the moment she appeared in ten reincarnations, Bai Ge also treated her gently every time.
It could be said that aside from Elysia and Seele, Yae Kasumi was the Herrscher Bai Mou had the most favor for in the previous civilization.
So he gave this little girl the best treatment.
Fried tofu, small cakes, pearl milk tea, molten chocolate, macarons, instant noodles...
Bai Ge: "Choose what you like to eat. This is a reward for you turning over a new leaf. This body too. Although your original data virus is convenient, it has no way to enjoy delicious food."
Looking at the delicious food piled up in front of her, this newborn Herrscher was a bit suspicious if it was some kind of trap, but even so, tears couldn't be restrained from flowing from the corners of her lips.
So after carefully eating a few bites.
Yae Kasumi: (I want to change my name! From now on, I am not the Herrscher of Corruption; my name is Yae Kasumi! Long live humanity, long live Lord Savior, Bai Sect!!)
Although still controlled by the Honkai's curse, Yae Kasumi decided to jump ship at this moment.
Yae Kasumi: "Honkai or something, not familiar!"
Watching this Herrscher who was diving into the pile of food, crying with emotion while eating wildly, Bai Ge could remain calm because he had seen it many times, but the other Flame-Chasers were all dumbfounded.
They had never seen such an easy-to-handle Herrscher!
Rin's expression was also subtle. After knowing she was possessed by a Herrscher, she thought she was going to be finished.
But now looking at Yae Kasumi, she thought, just this? This is a Herrscher? Doesn't look very harmless, so cowardly.
"Eat as much as you want, eat casually, there's more if it's not enough."
"Tha, thank you!"
Yae Kasumi thanked him with teary eyes. As a poor child abandoned by the Honkai, she didn't expect that she could find the warmth of home on the enemy's side.
So after hesitating for a moment, Yae Kasumi seemed to muster up her courage, grabbed the corner of Bai Ge's clothes, and spoke.
"That, you guys hurry and run. The Herrscher of Finality is coming tomorrow. If you don't run, it will be too late."
"!!!"
This time even Bai Ge was surprised.
Although it was information he already knew, the fact that Yae Kasumi could say this meant she had truly betrayed the Honkai.
"Thank you, Yae Kasumi, but it's fine. We have already made preparations to welcome Finality. Tomorrow, as long as she appears, let her witness the power of humanity."
"No! It's really not okay! This time, this time the Honkai is serious! Because I came last, I vaguely felt that, besides Finality... this time there are other terrifying things coming together!"
"Other terrifying things?"
Bai Ge frowned after hearing this.
This information had never existed in past reincarnations.
He thought, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right? Just in this last reincarnation, the Honkai wants to give Finality a boost?
"I don't know the specifics, but as long as you escape this planet, you can be safe and sound. So..."
Yae Kasumi held her head with both hands, terrified.
As a Herrscher before the descent of Finality, she could sense that great terror about to arrive. That was the destroyer of countless civilizations; in her eyes, it was a god that could absolutely not be defeated.
"It's okay, don't worry." Bai Ge stroked her head and said.
"Eh?"
Yae Kasumi froze. The white-haired boy before her had already regained his confidence, and the reliable temperament cultivated by eleven salvations also made her trembling body stabilize.
"Anyway, we have no worries left. The Herrscher of Finality is an extra bonus question for us. Just do our best to ensure there are no casualties. And..."
Bai Ge said while putting the corruption gem into the Sakura Cleaver.
At the same time, he used the Herrscher of Void's authority to synchronize the gem to the Blank Key.
The next second, an aura so terrifying and vast that it was impossible to describe was released from Bai Ge's body. Yae Kasumi was dumbfounded on the spot. At this moment, she even thought the person before her was the Herrscher of Finality. ===== CHAPTER 918 =====
