When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 999 - 356: Crushing Victory, Void Apocalypse
She thought for a moment.
"How about this, later I'll give you some Little Bai Fu Prayer Cards. When you return to the Rebirth Empire, take the Little Bai Fu I give you and go find those you find suspicious. Just talk to them normally, don't say anything unnecessary. I will judge if there's a problem."
Demetri readily agreed.
At this point, he could only trust Bai Fu unreservedly.
Carrying the Prayer Cards given by Bai Fu, Demetri returned to the empire at the fastest speed.
He suspected many people, so he couldn't be bothered to talk to each one individually. Instead, he held a large banquet under the pretense of "practicing for himself," inviting all the people he suspected to the event.
"This road is arduous. I don't know if I can make it to the other side, but ultimately, it's a path that must be walked. If someone like me, a pillar of the empire, doesn't even try, then who else can be expected to?"
Demetri raised his glass.
His eyes, filled with love and ardor for the empire, scanned the banquet hall.
Chong Xiao, the royal ministers of the Elder Council, even Emperor Odoacer himself were present.
They had argued before; they had also cooperated closely. In the end, where would their relationships lead?
Demetri downed his drink in one go.
Then, Chong Xiao walked up to him, patting him on the shoulder.
"I thought we would make pretty good adversaries. It's a shame... Rest assured, even if you fail, I will fight alongside the empire until the moment the situation truly becomes irreversible."
Demetri laughed, "I'm relieved to hear you say that."
After bidding farewell to each familiar face, he walked into the so-called Seclusion Room.
The scene was quite tragic.
Who would have thought that beneath this tragedy lay conspiracy and suspicion?
"Did you notice anything unusual?"
"Do you really want me to say it?"
"Go ahead, no matter who it is, I will accept it."
Bai Fu shook her head, "Actually, I didn't see who exactly stole things from the Secondary Space, but I did see many people already having thoughts of abandoning the Rebirth Empire ship."
She wasn't trying to scare Demetri. Just now, while using Apostle Spirit Vision on the people in the banquet hall, she found that many of them had more than one Camp in their Camp column.
For people like Chong Xiao, a Pastor of the Mechanical Fire Sect, that was understandable. But those who clearly had Imperial Royal blood suddenly showing two Camps—what else could they be plotting if not desertion?
Demetri opened his mouth, a thousand words stuck in his heart, but he swallowed them all down.
What more could he say?
Though the Allied Army once again held off the Apostle Holy City's attack on the front lines, the cost was several Super Supreme lives and the detonation of the Other Dimension Space.
This pyrrhic victory wouldn't calm down those starting to have second thoughts; instead, it would only make them more anxious.
This time they were lucky to repel the Apostle Holy City, but what about next time?
Knowing that even Bai Fu was in trouble, could they really count on the Annihilation King to return?
Time to jump ship!
Demetri knew that many people inside the empire now harbored such thoughts.
However, he could do nothing.
"Not finding that mole this time doesn't mean I'll never find him. As long as he's still in the empire and thinking of causing trouble, I will surely catch him. For now, just focus on healing."
Demetri nodded.
...
"Ah, what a turbulent time."
Bai Fu stretched lazily.
In the past few days, she had successfully mastered the remaining three Spiritual Energy attributes, unlocking the [All Phases] Talent.
Besides that, she merged several Super Supreme Relics to enhance her and Shadow Fu's Basic Attributes.
She had completed almost all her tasks and thought it was time to go out for some action.
Bai Fu immediately sent out Black Fu to contact Lupus.
"So, who do you want to deal with?"
Bai Fu: "Want revenge?"
Lupus's heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean?"
Bai Fu: "Void Lord, before the decisive battle with the Apostle Holy City, we need to eliminate these unstable elements."
Lupus got excited.
Hunting Void Lords?
This was something he liked!
Not only could he get revenge, but if he was lucky, he could also get a new Void Lord Core.
If he could merge another Void Lord Core, even if Bai Fu could see through his secrets, so what?
But he couldn't act too eagerly.
He must act obediently, make Bai Fu trust him, believe that he posed no threat before making his move.
"I'll lead the way."
The two entered the Void one after the other, launching a hunt for the Void Lords.
Including Lupus, there were seven Void Lords in the Void Realm.
Of course, that was history now.
After the battle in the Other Dimension Space, only five Lords remained alive in the Void Dimension, and Lupus had defected, greatly weakening their overall power. This was why Bai Fu dared to act against them.
The first target Lupus chose was the Void Lord Yuanshi, whom he had previously failed to ambush.
He launched another ambush, which failed again, leaving him surrounded from both sides.
"Lupus, you're dead today!"
"Really?"
Lupus sneered disdainfully.
"Since I dared to come, of course I've prepared well. Do you truly believe you're attacking two against one now?"
Yuanshi showed a cold smile on his grotesque big head: "Posturing, Lupus, you've offended everyone you could, who can you turn to for help now?"
"Posturing? Why don't you take a look behind you."
"Behind?"
Yuanshi abruptly turned his head, and what met his eyes was someone he couldn't dream of seeing.
"Bai Fu!"
Why was it Bai Fu?
"Weren't you turned into a fool by Lupus? Why are you here? Could it be you've become Lupus's puppet?"
Yuanshi couldn't comprehend, and was greatly shocked, but quickly regained his composure.
No.
It's not a big problem.
Bai Fu's power is decent, but still lags behind compared to them, as seen from the previous battle in the Other Dimension Space.
"I thought you had some backup, but if it's just a puppet like Bai Fu, Lupus, you're still dead today..."
"You're wrong!"
Bai Fu suddenly interrupted Yuanshi.
"I'm not Lupus's puppet; on the contrary, Lupus is now my servant."
"Hmm?"
Yuanshi froze for a moment.
"Also," Bai Fu smiled, "it's you two who will die today."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kabay, the Prayer Angel, and Shadow Fu emerged from beneath her, in front of her, and behind her.
Kabay's massive body shattered the sky, making even the enormous Void Lords look small.
"Send them off!"
With a light command, Kabay, the Prayer Angel, Shadow Fu, and Lupus charged forward simultaneously.
Since becoming the Dominator, Bai Fu had never fought a battle so affluent and with overwhelming numbers like this one.
Overpowering.
Complete overpowering.
The strong Void Lord appeared weak as a fish belly before her and Lupus.
Under the multiple blockades of Void Realm Dimension Descent, Dark without limits, and Dark Energy, Yuanshi couldn't even sound a call for help.
He could only watch as his body was torn to pieces by Bai Fu, Kabay, the Prayer Angel, and Lupus, ultimately unable to even self-destruct, meeting his end.
Two Void Lord Cores floated in the void.
Lupus looked at them greedily but didn't dare to make a move.
Bai Fu raised her hand, and the two Void Lord Cores flew into her hand.
The next second, she made a move completely unexpected by Lupus.
She opened her mouth and ate one of the Void Lord Cores like a piece of candy.
"?"
Lupus was stunned.
"You just eat it like that?"
Bai Fu showed curiosity: "It's just digesting and absorbing a Void Lord Core, why make a fuss? Don't you absorb it like this?"
I... I...
Damn it, who absorbs a Void Lord Core like this?
Lupus's body began to tremble.
Eating a Void Lord Core raw, and not being affected at all.
This isn't human!
Lupus kneeled on the spot.
He previously thought of stealing another Void Lord Core and seeking revenge against Bai Fu.
Revenge, my ass!
Just heading for a doom.
From this moment, Lupus no longer had the thought of resistance in his heart.
Ding!
[Lupus's affinity towards you +43, current affinity 78 (profound reverence)]
Bai Fu smiled with satisfaction.
This is right.
Being a dog, you must act like a dog!
"Let's go, and completely bury the Void!"
