What?! You want me to be the Herrscher of the End?!

"Alright, alright, let's save the thanks for after the plan succeeds. Who knows, Dr. Mei might complain about me reviving her then, since this is kind of overtime work, isn't it?"

Bai Mo waved his hand, jokingly interrupting Kevin's speech.

As for Eden, Bai Mo said that she was a greedy woman who wanted to have twice the happiness of Eden.

So even though Eden complained a lot, Bai Mo eventually managed to persuade her.

Afterwards, Bai Mo discussed the key points of the plan with Otto, as well as the possibility that he might need Otto's pseudo-god power in the end.

Otto had no objection to this, and he assured that he would make the deal with the Honkai consciousness as planned.

No one else will know what we discussed here today. This is to prevent Him, or Number 17, from finding out anything. Otto also said that when he makes a deal with Him later, he will use a different Soul Steel body and will not synchronize his memories, so that He can do things according to His original ideas.

After doing all this, it was time for Bai Mo to reveal his identity.

After all, we are all in the same boat now, so there's no need to keep things to ourselves.

Chapter 331 This Moment! The End Has Arrived!

Within the spatial barrier created by the Void Treasury, Bai Mo slowly stood up from his seat.

Of course, before that, she also reinforced the space here to prevent her aura from being revealed when she entered the End Mode.

After all, they are still inside Coral Island, where the Honkai energy has not completely dissipated. If they were to cause another Honkai, it would be a huge loss.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Aqi?"

Watching Bai Mo's actions, Eden asked curiously.

"Of course, I'm going to demonstrate my powers related to time to you. After all, I think everyone is quite curious about this."

"And this is the secret Kevin promised to keep for me!"

With a faint smile on his face, Bai Mo glanced at Eden and then said playfully.

Of course, Kevin was included in what she said earlier, since even Kevin had never seen himself using his powers in his final form.

Eden: "......"

So this is the secret Kevin said he wanted to keep—the power to control time... This is indeed very important information.

However, among all the known Herrschers, only the Herrscher of the End possesses this power, right? Could it be that...?

No...that's impossible.

Startled by his own audacious conjecture, Eden immediately shook his head and banished the idea from his mind.

The Herrschers of this era are only at the fifth level, so how could the Herrscher of the End have descended? And no matter how you look at it, it can't possibly be the End.

After all, that is the end, the ultimate enemy of human civilization, an existence that will absolutely not stand on the side of humanity.

After much thought, she still couldn't find any answer, or perhaps the answer in her mind was too absurd for her to believe. In any case, Eden finally decided to listen to what Bai Mo had to say.

“Of course, since Miss Asura is willing to give a demonstration in advance, I will definitely look forward to it.”

Upon hearing this, Otto immediately became interested and became fully focused.

"Your Excellency, please don't say that. After all, even if I don't bring it up, you will eventually bring it up anyway, won't you?"

"...Haha, Miss Asura is joking. I am always happy to trust my friends."

Bai Mo: “…”

Your Excellency, you didn't even mention Karen when you said that, which puts me in a difficult position.

And friends? Everyone knows that being Otto's friend is very risky! Especially old friends, who might be laughing and joking one second and then say they weren't lying the next.

......................................

"Ahem, everyone, please remember not to get excited, scared, or panicked no matter what you see later. Just remember that it's still me."

Before unleashing his most primal and authentic power, Bai Mo felt it necessary to give everyone a heads-up.

After all, he was a Herrscher of the End, so it was possible that people would feel nervous after seeing it. After all, this was a suppression from the source, and the so-called End represented the extinction of mankind and the end of civilization.

"Please rest assured, Miss Asura, just show us your power."

What storms haven't I seen? I've lived for over five hundred years, how could I be scared?

Otto smiled but didn't say anything.

Durandal, standing beside him, calmly nodded, indicating that her CPU had already burned out and that no matter how things developed, she would not be frightened.

Eden looked at Bai Mo, a sense of unprecedented tension welling up inside him, while Kevin silently took two steps back, creating a safe distance between himself and Bai Mo.

It wasn't fear, it was just an unconscious bodily reaction.

After seeing that everyone was ready, Bai Mo immediately closed his eyes and mobilized his most primal power.

As she delved deeper, she could feel every cell in her body getting excited, and the Honkai energy within her was constantly rising, as if she had inexhaustible strength!

That was her most primal and familiar power. Although she had never shown this power to the world, with her call, the power of the end was completely unleashed at this moment!

"This body is now coming to an end!"

At the moment this power converged to its peak, a flash of white light enveloped Bai Mo! At the same time, the power unique to the end, the authority of time, also descended upon this place, covering everything around it.

Time within this space was frozen in an absolute sense. Even Kevin couldn't break free from it. Everyone felt a moment of disorientation and lost control of their bodies and consciousness in a very short instant.

In other words, under the influence of the power of time, the flow of time in this space has been put on hold, making it completely out of step with the outside world.

Then, in the very next second, everyone recovered from this state. It wasn't that the power of time had lost its effect, but rather that Bai Mo had withdrawn it after mastering it. After all, the release of the power of time earlier was a completely uncontrollable instinctive behavior, as this was the first time she had entered this state.

A divine gift! Under the influence of the power of the End, Bai Mo is now wearing the attire of the Herrscher of the End.

She had wings on her back, a golden halo above her head, and her eyes were also dyed gold. Divine patterns appeared on the backs of her hands and her forehead. White stockings covered her calves, and a white jumpsuit with gold trim fell down. Her long white hair hung down to her waist and spread out in all directions.

A sacred aura swept over them, and all of this was Bai Mo's transformation completed within the white light.

Confront your true nature and accept your most authentic power!

At this moment, the outside world was unaware of all this, only feeling an extremely strong sense of oppression emanating from the white light in front.

Durandal even subconsciously used the power of the World Bubble to resist, which made her and Otto feel a little better.

This oppressive feeling that struck deep into their hearts, and the fear that gripped their souls, undoubtedly made the two of them curious about what kind of power this was.

For Eden and Kevin, who had already faced the end, this power was all too familiar to them.

Chapter 332 Otto: Tell me, am I dreaming?

Aki...is the Herrscher of the End?!

For a fleeting moment, time was absolutely frozen! I have no doubt about that power, that feeling!

The Honkai Beast factor within his body trembled. Sensing this familiar yet strange aura, Eden could no longer remain calm.

This was her fear of the end, not her fear of Bai Mo.

As time passed, Eden also realized that there had been no hostility emanating from the orb of light ahead; it was merely instinctively emitting an aura of impending doom.

This is a self-protection mechanism, conveying this message from within itself to the outside world.

Therefore, even though Aki has become the Herrscher of the End, she still retains her humanity and is not the enemy that will end human civilization.

Thinking of this, Eden relaxed a little. After all, when she looked at Kevin just now, she noticed that Kevin didn't seem surprised at all, as if he already knew about it.

In that instant, Eden also understood the secret the two had mentioned earlier that needed to be kept. So this was the ultimate truth.

Yes, this so-called truth is indeed quite frightening. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I would never have believed that such an absurd thing could exist in this world.

An End-Herrscher who stands on the side of humanity, yet remains an existence unrestricted by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

For a moment, Eden didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and he held his forehead with a helpless expression.

However, in Eden's heart, Bai Mo is still Bai Mo, even if her true identity is the Herrscher of the End, it doesn't change the fact that the two of them are now very close.

"Kevin, you knew all along."

Having regained his previous composure, Eden spoke calmly.

"That's right, and that's also why I gave up the Stigmata Project."

Kevin gave Eden an affirmative answer, thus resolving her doubts.

"Is that so? In that case, I'm sure Airi knows about Aqi's identity too."

One is the origin, and the other is the end. Shouldn't we say that this is what is called fate?

Eden couldn't help but smile as the corners of his mouth turned upwards.

"I don't know, but given Asura's personality, she would never hide it from Alicia."

The mere mention of Alicia brings to mind her influence on Bai Mo, leaving Kevin with a terrible headache.

"That's true, after all..."

In Chinese parlance, these two would be what you'd call a bickering couple? Eden thought to himself, but didn't say it outright.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Durandal and Otto were still cautiously watching the ball of white light in front of them, after all, the aura emanating from it was even more terrifying than that of a Herrscher.

"Do either of you know what's going on?"

Otto, who had been silently observing the two, suddenly spoke up.

After all, he had never faced the end directly, so naturally he couldn't see the strangeness in it.

"I think it would be better if Aqi explained this to you."

Eden shook her head and said that her gaze had been fixed on the white light the entire time.

Otto was puzzled by this, but when he saw that Kevin also looked relaxed, he lowered his guard and waited quietly.

...........................

Twenty seconds later, the white light in front of everyone suddenly dissipated, and gradually, Bai Mo's figure was revealed. She had her eyes closed, as if she was familiarizing herself with something.

Even knowing Bai Mo's current identity, Eden and Kevin were still taken aback. After all, Bai Mo was now exuding an aura of "holiness," unlike the End of the World in the previous era. At this moment, Bai Mo was more human, and her clothing was also very different. Eden almost thought that she was a saintess from there.

Of course, it would be even better if the oppressive aura emanating from him disappeared.

...................

"Sorry, sorry. It's my first time using this power, so I'm still getting used to it. I just took a little time to familiarize myself with it."
