Chapter 237: Catastrophe Tier Assassin, White Fu, the Overlord of Night! [44k]

Before accepting the mission to deal with White Fu, Blood Stain had specially investigated the situation involving White Fu and the Dark Moon Tide.

He knew that White Fu had a subordinate named Black Fu, and he also knew about the unclear relationship between White Fu and the Star Treaty.

But this did not deter him.

So what if there was a Black Fu?

White Fu herself was only a newly promoted Catastrophe Tier.

And so what if she had ties with the Star Treaty?

Killing someone and destroying their ship would make even the Sworn One himself unable to figure out who did it, since the Sworn One was an Ultra-Class who relied on martial prowess and lacked special abilities like foresight or exploration.

In short, compared to the rewards offered by Hampton and others, the risk of attacking White Fu was completely acceptable.

50 million credit points were no small amount, and the formula for the Rose Potion was worth nine figures. This potion extracted from the genes of a special celestial beast enhanced superpowers.

Although the enhancement rate was unstable, even a 1% increase was impressive. Besides, they could produce more Rose Potions to sell or trade with other organizations.

However…

Blood Stain clenched his fists.

He couldn’t understand it at all.

White Fu had two, but how could Scarlet Leaf have two as well? Was Dark Moon Tide producing twins?

Moreover, how could White Fu be an upper Catastrophe Tier when she had only been promoted for half a year?

Blood Stain stared intently at the black eye above White Fu’s head.

He didn’t recognize the eye, but he could sense an unmasked malice in its gaze.

This malice slowly pierced through his body, making him feel cold all over, as if every cell in his body was screaming.

“Captain, I sense something wrong.”

Aldrich’s voice echoed, no longer calm and composed as before. His face was now soaked with nervous sweat.

The two Catastrophe Tiers who flew out of the spaceship remained silent, but their reactions were no better than Blood Stain’s. They all looked to Blood Stain for guidance.

What good advice could they give now?

Fight!

This was also what White Fu thought.

A moment ago, she received an urgent quest from the game.

The objective was to repel the Catastrophe Legion’s attack, and the reward was 50 million experience points and a skill card of Blood Stain’s.

To White Fu, who had just caught 2 million new players, this reward wasn’t particularly enticing, but she was very interested in Blood Stain himself.

Because her ability evolution tree reacted, Blood Stain possessed an S-class ability, Corruption!

Since obtaining the ability evolution tree, she had collected seven A-class and higher abilities. Suddenly encountering an S-class ability user made her hard to resist.

Comply, let sister take a look!

Blood Stain wouldn’t stand still for White Fu to collect his abilities for a day, so White Fu planned to personally attack him, putting him into a baby-like sleep.

“I’ll handle Blood Stain, while you three just hold them off temporarily.”

Scarlet Leaf had no objections.

She had sparred with White Fu many times—proper sparring sessions. Each time, White Fu quickly defeated her, leaving her breathless. Thus, she believed White Fu wouldn’t lose to Blood Stain.

Let’s go.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Scarlet Leaf transformed into a fire phoenix, leading Black Fu and Scarlet Leaf’s true form to attack Aldrich and the others.

The six of them clashed fiercely, causing the sky to flip and the ice to shatter.

Meanwhile, White Fu was also busy.

Against a foe of Blood Stain’s caliber, she gave it her all.

The Eye of Grief and the Dark Force Field controlled the battlefield, summoning thousands of creatures in an instant, attacking Blood Stain from all directions.

Then came the Dark Cage, Flying Demon Blades, Spiritual Rays, and Spiritual Storms… she used everything she had.

In fact, this was how a typical Spiritual Prayer Mage fought, focusing on control and long-range attacks. White Fu, who preferred close combat, was truly an anomaly.

Who would have the second-highest attribute in a Spiritual Prayer Mage be Constitution?

There were two main reasons White Fu didn’t immediately use Dark Burn on Blood Stain.

Firstly, she was unfamiliar with his abilities and didn’t want to waste the 4-minute cooldown on Dark Burn, risking missing her target.

Secondly, although she seemed to be fighting Blood Stain, her real target was Aldrich, who was entangled by Scarlet Leaf.

Aldrich was fragile; a precise ambush could severely damage him, disrupting the battlefield balance.

Once Scarlet Leaf and the others dealt with Aldrich, they could easily handle Blood Stain.

“Do you think your summoned creatures can stop me?”

Blood Stain taunted.

He transformed into a bloodthirsty demon, charging through the Spiritual Army, causing chaos.

White Fu ignored him, using prayer cards to repair damaged summons and constantly throwing new cards to replenish the army. Due to the limitations of skills like Dark Force Field, Blood Stain’s killing speed was much slower than her reinforcements.

White Fu was patient, and so was Blood Stain.

Time passed slowly. When the Mind Blessing effect had one minute left, White Fu suddenly stopped her actions.

Something was wrong!

Blood Stain keenly sensed White Fu’s change. His skin was covered with bubbling blood, ready for any sudden move she might make.

At that moment, White Fu’s figure froze before him.

“Illusion? Which side? Up, down, left… no, wait!”

Blood Stain’s expression changed drastically because he suddenly saw White Fu appear behind Aldrich.

Too fast, too fast to warn in time.

Why did White Fu suddenly appear there?

He hadn’t sensed any flow of blood, as if she had appeared out of nowhere!

Blood Stain was right. White Fu had teleported there.

Seer Mark!

During her fight with Aldrich, Black Fu secretly placed a Seer Mark behind him.

Since White Fu and Black Fu were essentially the same, White Fu could use the Seer Mark too.

Watch closely, this is our fiery combo!

The Dark Scepter in sword form shot out from White Fu’s palm like a cannonball, straight towards Aldrich’s chest, piercing his terrified eyes.

Dodge!

You must dodge immediately!

Under the stimulus of death, Aldrich’s brain entered a hyper state, feeling the world slow down around him.

Good, now he just needs to twist slightly to the side, dodging both White Fu’s sneak attack and Scarlet Leaf’s flanking move, a perfect double…

BOOM!

Suddenly, the dark energy from Aldrich’s body, infused by Black Fu’s punch and palm strike, exploded after the 3-second countdown of Dimensional Erosion ended.

The explosion paralyzed Aldrich, leaving him helpless as the dark scepter pierced his heart.

The next second, spiritual energy surged from White Fu’s palm, continuously impacting the shattered heart.

-1692, -2081, -2172…

Large damage values rose above Aldrich’s head.

White Fu calmly pulled out the Dark Scepter.

“I timed my arrival perfectly!”

One hit and gone, she floated away.

White Fu returned to Blood Stain’s side, using the last few seconds of Mind Blessing to intercept him.

Blood Stain was already in a red-hot state, but he was still enraged, unable to break through under the relentless attacks of the Spiritual Army. Even occasional appearances were pushed back by White Fu.

This was their chance. Scarlet Leaf, Scarlet Leaf’s True Form, and Black Fu launched a fierce assault on the heavily injured Aldrich.

Aldrich was already fragile, and White Fu’s previous attack had drained half of his health. Facing such an onslaught, he couldn’t withstand it and was quickly taken down.

The balance was completely broken.

Blood Stain watched in horror.

He never imagined the situation would turn out like this. He had anticipated some surprises, but never the death of a comrade.

If this continued, apart from him with his special abilities, the other two Catastrophe Tiers of the Catastrophe Legion would also fall here.

Losing three Catastrophe Tiers was akin to cutting off a leg for the Catastrophe Legion.

Cutting off a leg to achieve White Fu’s fame?

Leave!

Blood Stain had no heart for battle. He quickly contacted the other two Catastrophe Tiers in the internal channel, who were already terrified.

Together, they broke free from the encirclement after paying a price.

They didn’t linger near the nearby Bone-class Battleship but flew directly into outer space. Getting on a spaceship now meant it would be destroyed. The best option was to meet up with the nine ships approaching from behind.

“Trying to escape?”

This was a great opportunity for a big win. White Fu would not let Blood Stain and the others leave easily.

Thus, a chase began.

The situation had completely reversed.

The hunters became the hunted.

Had Blood Stain turned back to fight White Fu, the losses would have been less severe, as her Mind Blessing effect had worn off. But in his panic, he didn’t think of that.

All he could think of was—

Run!

This gave White Fu ample opportunity to unleash her attacks.

With the Eye of Grief’s assistance, one of the female Catastrophe Tiers suddenly trembled, entering a state of grief.

At this point, the others in the Catastrophe Legion couldn’t save her and had to flee.

“Captain!”

The female Catastrophe Tier looked despairingly at the rapidly receding spaceship.

Seconds later, a Heavenly Burial struck her head, stunning her. Under the attack of four Catastrophe Tiers, she soon lost her life.

“Great, we’ve accumulated over 70 million experience points!”

White Fu promptly summoned the Tranquil Night spaceship.

Since she had several days until the Origin Consortium’s internal meeting, she had plenty of time to play with the Catastrophe Legion.

While chasing them, she contacted Andreas, informing him of the situation.

“???”

After hearing White Fu, Andreas initially suspected he had misheard.

“You were attacked by the Catastrophe Legion, then killed two Catastrophe Tiers, and now you’re still pursuing the Catastrophe Legion’s leader, Blood Stain?”

I…

No.

Andreas felt he needed to take a breather; otherwise, his heart couldn’t take it.

He leaned against the wall and after a long while said, “I speculate the Catastrophe Legion was hired by Hampton and others to assassinate you. However, I don’t have evidence yet, so I can’t confront Hampton and the others about it. How about you send me your coordinates? I’ll send my brother with reinforcements to assist you and see if we can deal a harsher blow to the Catastrophe Legion.”

White Fu didn’t hesitate, sharing her location with Andreas in real-time. Then, she smiled and said,

“Whether Hampton is behind the Catastrophe Legion or not, I have a plan that will ensure both Hampton and the Catastrophe Legion suffer.”

“Oh, what plan?”

“I plan to announce at the meeting that I will fully combat the Catastrophe Legion until they are eliminated. This is not only to retaliate against the Catastrophe Legion but also to prove my worthiness of further investment from the Origin Consortium. To achieve this, I need a little help from the Origin Consortium, such as a loan or intelligence support.”

Andreas instantly understood White Fu’s intentions.

Given her performance, anyone in the Origin Consortium would support her plan.

When most people supported it, would Hampton and the others oppose?

Perhaps they would, but they couldn’t change the overall situation.

If the Catastrophe Legion was called by them, watching White Fu, backed by the Origin Consortium, dismantle them, how would they react?

If the Catastrophe Legion wasn’t called by them, watching White Fu, supported by them, rise higher, how would they react?

Andreas couldn’t help but clench his fist.

Though he didn’t know why White Fu was so formidable, it didn’t matter. He knew that with such a formidable White Fu supporting him, he couldn’t lose this meeting; he would definitely trample Hampton and the others underfoot!

“I will fully support your proposal!”

“Collaboration successful.”

After ending the conversation with Andreas, White Fu continued chasing the Catastrophe Legion.

Two days later, Andreas’ brother arrived, assisting White Fu in destroying six of the Catastrophe Legion’s spaceships.

Unfortunately, Blood Stain was too slippery, and the Origin Consortium’s internal meeting was imminent. She had to temporarily abandon the pursuit.

“Let’s attend the meeting first. Afterward, we’ll deal with him. If White Fu doesn’t show her strength, does she think I’m a kitten?”

White Fu shrugged.

She tallied the results of this operation: a total of 170 million experience points and Blood Stain’s skill card, Corruption Curse.

This skill cursed a target, preventing them from regaining health during the curse period, making it very effective against enemies with healing abilities or tanks.

As the Tranquil Night sailed toward the Knowledge City, news of White Fu’s brutal defeat of the Catastrophe Legion spread.

Everyone who received this news, whether NPC or player, was shocked.

Damn, what’s going on?

“How did she do it?”

“She just advanced to Catastrophe Tier. How could she reverse-killed two Catastrophe Tiers when being attacked by the Catastrophe Legion?”

“Fake news?”

[FuFu is awesome!]

[Wow, this is too exaggerated. Is this really the Overlord of Night? Now I have to join White Fu.]

[Charge! I’m contacting the White Fu Foundation right now to get a free ticket to Ulysses.]

Influenced by this major news, many players who were brought to the Star Ocean by other forces started thinking carefully.

Although the forces bringing them to the Star Ocean were good, White Fu was undoubtedly better. Not only was she beautiful and powerful, but she also frequently gave out benefits.

The interstellar migration of players had begun.

On the other hand, after receiving news of the Catastrophe Legion, Hampton and the others were almost driven mad.

“This is what you call foolproof?”

But soon they realized that this wasn’t the most infuriating part. Because the Origin Consortium’s internal meeting was underway.
