Chapter 189: The Overlord of the Dark Night Sweeps a Thousand Armies, Xiao Bai Fu’s Plan to Become a Hostess! [7k]
The various secret societies of the Indigo Star have always been at odds with each other.
There is only one legendary origin, and although many devil gods can be born from this origin, who would willingly share the origin they’ve worked so hard to obtain with others?
But this time, the situation does not allow the various secret societies to continue their squabbles.
The devil god has returned, defeating multiple secret societies, including the Drifting House, in one fell swoop!
Although this is partly due to the fact that the Drifting House and other secret societies were completely unprepared and caught off guard, it also shows that relying solely on one’s own strength to deal with the Overlord of the Dark Night is extremely difficult.
“At this moment, we must put aside our prejudices, unite our efforts, and eliminate the rampaging devil god!”
In the meeting room, the president of the largest secret society on the Indigo Star, the Pain Cult, delivered an impassioned speech.
With his leadership, even if the leaders of the other secret societies found each other unpleasant, this time they all joined in the shouting.
What nonsense devil god, the Indigo Star belongs to the people of the Indigo Star, and the origin belongs to the people of the Indigo Star!
Seeing that everyone’s emotions had been stirred up, the president of the Pain Cult nodded in satisfaction: “The strength of the devil god is unpredictable, and she has several followers. I think a direct assault is inappropriate.”
“Indeed.”
“Reasonable.”
“Does the president have any good ideas?”
The president of the Pain Cult said: “It’s not much of a good idea, just something I came up with temporarily. I think we should divide our forces into two routes. One route will attack directly, luring the Overlord of the Dark Night away from the Dusk Sect as far as possible. At that point, the second route will immediately move out, seize the Dusk Sect, and if we can capture some of the Overlord’s followers, our chances of victory will greatly increase. Even if we don’t capture them, attacking the Overlord from both front and back will give us a better chance than a frontal assault.”
This suggestion was recognized by most members present. They exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.
How much benefit can killing a devil god bring?
Unclear, but anyway, let’s see what happens when the time comes!
After the meeting ended, the president of the Pain Cult passed through several hidden doors and arrived at a secret chamber deep underground within the Pain Cult.
Under the dim light, an oval-shaped light spot highlighted a mass resembling black mud, which was particularly eye-catching.
“Lord Devil God.”
The president of the Pain Cult respectfully bowed.
Yes, this mass of black mud was the devil god, and there was a devil god residing in the underground chamber, which was the confidence of the president of the Pain Cult to challenge the “Overlord of the Dark Night – Bai Fu”.
You’re a devil god, I have a devil god too, and a whole group of helpers, how could I lose?
This time, it wasn’t entirely the president of the Pain Cult’s arrogance; having grown up on the Indigo Star, how could he imagine there are countless super-powered beings in the vast universe?
The black mud on the ground began to contract after hearing the call, and eventually, a mud figure grew out of the mud.
“Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me before the day of divine arrival?”
A hoarse voice echoed in the chamber.
The president of the Pain Cult said: “Lord Devil God, the day of divine arrival has come earlier than expected.”
He recounted the return of the Overlord of the Dark Night.
The devil god in the chamber was stunned upon hearing this.
Ah, no, the Overlord of the Dark Night returning from outer space, where did this strange setting come from? He didn’t know the Overlord of the Dark Night had such abilities and background.
But no matter how suspicious, he did not overly doubt Bai Fu’s identity. It was impossible for him to do so, being a native of the Indigo Star. He merely lamented privately that the day of divine arrival coming months earlier than expected must mean something unexpected happened with the origin.
“Go, I will intervene at the critical moment to help you subdue the Overlord of the Dark Night.”
Hearing this promise, the president of the Pain Cult smiled. With these words, he felt everything was under control. However, considering prudence, he secretly contacted his partner in the first great nation of the Indigo Star, the Pursuit of Star Nation, asking the partner to send some troops to support him when he and others fought over the Overlord of the Dark Night.
…
“I see.”
In the guest room of the Dusk Sect, Bai Fu continuously nodded while reviewing intelligence recently extracted from the Drifting House and other secret societies.
Most of the intelligence revealed by the leader of the Drifting House was already known to her, providing little value, but the information about the source of the origin was different.
[The Indigo Star originally had no legend of devil gods. The legend of devil gods emerged hundreds of years ago. One day, a celestial dog swallowed the sun, and an unknown object flew in from outer space. From then on, the Indigo Star had origins, devil gods, monsters, calamity phenomena, and various things.]
When people of the Indigo Star read this legend, they usually have two perspectives.
The first perspective is that this story is purely fabricated. What celestial dog swallowing the sun? Isn’t it just a solar eclipse? Look at how exaggerated you are.
The second perspective is that although the story lost many details, the general outline is likely true. The so-called unknown object flying in from outer space is actually the omen of the birth of the world’s first devil god. From this point onward, the Indigo Star entered the mysterious era.
After reading this legend, Bai Fu combined it with her experiences on the Source Star and formed a third perspective.
She had been pondering this for a long time. Players on the Source Star could contact the Star Ocean through the starship of Suixing, thereby initiating the Star Ocean era. But how do players on other beginner planets initiate the Star Ocean era? Surely it can’t be that when the version arrives, the official simply arranges mining teams or exploration teams to simultaneously discover all beginner planets?
It’s not that this method is impossible, but it seems too simplistic and brutal, completely inconsistent with previous operational strategies.
After seeing the legend of the Indigo Star, Bai Fu felt she had grasped the key points.
She boldly speculated that the “origin” of the Indigo Star and the “True Essence Pillar” of the Source Star were both special props from the Star Ocean. This prop, like the True Essence Pillar, not only has special abilities but is also crucial for players traveling to the Star Ocean. Whether it is related to a certain task in the Star Ocean still needs verification.
After making this guess, she made an even bolder conjecture: Not only the Indigo Star, but other beginner planets also have something similar to the “True Essence Pillar” of the Source Star or NPCs similar to Suixing.
This sounds very deliberate, eh, yes, exactly that deliberate!
The universe of “Above the Stars” is filled with civilizations, and finding twenty or so planetary civilizations with certain connections to the explored universe to serve as beginner planets for players to conquer is not a difficult task.
Bai Fu became excited.
If her guess was correct, her opportunity to prosper might be approaching.
An item capable of determining the future of a planet is akin to the Fortuna Basis in fantasy novels.
“If I gather the Fortuna Basis of more than twenty beginner planets… Fortuna Child? Don’t joke around, I’ll become the Mother of Fortuna directly!”
At that time, every beginner planet would be related to her, and all players would have to go through her to reach the Star Ocean. Just this “setup” alone would be enough to make her the hostess of the game.
Becoming a hostess doesn’t mean she possesses invincibility, after all, some games enjoy sacrificing the hostess for the sake of the players, but at least this way, her popularity among the player community would be firmly established. Even if other ultra-popular characters appear, they wouldn’t be able to completely overshadow her brilliance.
“Alright, I’ve decided to take the ‘Origin’ of the Indigo Star!”
Bai Fu closed the file.
“It’s about time to deal with those unruly secret societies outside.”
Despite her power surpassing the limits of beginner planets, even exceeding two major levels, she still approached the confrontation with the secret societies of the Indigo Star with utmost seriousness.
After dealing with the leaders of the Drifting House, she placed numerous nanoreconnaissance robots and Xiao Xiao Bai Fu around the Dusk Sect. Under such stringent surveillance, even if the secret societies of the Indigo Star launched nuclear warheads to attack her, she would be able to react in time and use the spaceship’s shield to defend herself.
Apparently, the secret societies of the Indigo Star hadn’t anticipated her level of detail and were still gloating.
“This newly awakened devil god seems extraordinarily arrogant, with absolutely no precautions.”
“Better without precautions. If she had them, our plan wouldn’t succeed easily.”
“The Pain Cult is urging us, let’s start the operation!”
Upon the order from the walkie-talkie, the secret societies split into two groups and moved out, one group surging toward the Dusk Sect like a tide.
Their shouts quickly reached the ears of those within the Dusk Sect.
“Fufu!”
Whether it was players from the Indigo Star or those from the Source Star who had followed Bai Fu early on, they all looked at Bai Fu, who had just stepped out of the room, with anticipation in their eyes.
They yearned to perform in front of Bai Fu.
Bai Fu nodded gently: “Follow Anya, Youlia, and Wei Ke in action.”
Anya’s strength ranks among the top on the Indigo Star, but for safety reasons, Bai Fu still assigned Youlia and Wei Ke, two A-class bodyguards, to accompany her.
Excited, Anya immediately led the players out of the Dusk Sect.
Subsequently, Bai Fu glanced at Scarlet Leaf and Xia Shi: “Let’s deal with the other group.”
“Another group?” Scarlet Leaf was slightly surprised.
Bai Fu said: “Not only another group, but the main force, consisting of over three thousand people, along with some infantry fighting vehicles.”
More than three thousand?
Upon hearing this number, Scarlet Leaf’s hands immediately itched.
Since her progress in voidification exceeded 50%, she hadn’t fought anymore. Initially, she was depressed and didn’t want to do anything, later Bai Fu helped her raise the compatibility rate of the prophet to 42%, alleviating her depression, and she wanted to stretch her legs, but Bai Fu kept stopping her from causing trouble.
This made her feel quite baffled.
What’s going on? She just surpassed 50% voidification progress, she isn’t pregnant, why is Bai Fu so nervous?
“This time…”
Bai Fu said: “Wait until I clarify the situation before you act, otherwise, if you kill them all at once, I will have to spend more time investigating myself.”
Scarlet Leaf quickly nodded.
Guests follow the host’s convenience.
After they finished discussing, they turned around and found Lingzun trembling in fear.
So…so many, more than three thousand people?
Can they really win? Even if it’s a devil god, facing so many secret societies, it would be difficult, right?
Bai Fu didn’t bother explaining to her. She took Scarlet Leaf and Xia Shi and headed towards the rear of the Dusk Sect.
A few minutes later.
As the president of the Pain Cult was issuing orders to attack, he suddenly noticed three figures appearing out of nowhere nearby.
“It’s… wait, the Overlord of the Dark Night!”
Recognizing Bai Fu, his pupils contracted sharply. He couldn’t see how Bai Fu had appeared in front of him, attributing it to the devil god’s special ability.
If he were alone here, he would probably have turned and fled already, but now he wasn’t alone. Behind him stood more than three thousand people, and these weren’t ordinary people but elite soldiers selected from various secret societies. These elites carried a large amount of equipment and items that enhance mental attacks, and they also brought a lot of modern weapons.
Assault rifles, machine guns, portable cannons, tanks…
With so many people and so many weapons gathered together, the president of the Pain Cult felt unprecedentedly inflated.
Unless the opponent uses a large number of missiles to carpet bomb, who could possibly stop him now? After all, this is a force sufficient to destroy a country!
He laughed loudly: “I originally planned to find you, but unexpectedly, you’ve come to us first. Devil gods are amazing, but today we will slaughter a god right here!”
Swinging his right hand forcefully downward, instantly, the more than three thousand people behind him launched an attack.
It was an extremely shocking scene.
Cannon fire and bullets intertwined, like a storm of flames, instantly engulfing the rear of the Dusk Sect.
The forest was torn to shreds.
Immediately following were simultaneous psychic attacks launched by over three thousand people. The variety of methods was endless, and when combined, they made the entire space exhibit an eerie bluish color.
“What a terrifying power.”
The president of the Pain Cult looked up, this fearsome power making him feel the insignificance of the individual, but he wasn’t frightened; instead, he became even more excited.
Precisely because the individual was too insignificant, that’s why he yearned for the power of the demon god, yearned for the source of power above the demon gods.
Now it was good, his opportunity had come!
“You stop first, let me finish her!”
The president of the Pain Cult transformed into a shadow, madly rushing towards Bai Fu who was already completely submerged, while rushing, he took out the token given to him by the Black Mud Demon God.
“Hahaha, well done, well done!” A sharp laugh came from the token, “For hundreds of years, I’ve finally waited for the day of divine arrival, today is the moment of my resurrection!”
A vague shadow slowly floated out of the token.
The man and the shadow both wore cheerful smiles, but the instant they rushed through the smoke and fire raised by the explosion, the smiles on their faces froze.
Nothing happened!
Bai Fu stood there unscathed, not even her clothes were damaged!
How could this be possible?
An overwhelming fear emerged in the hearts of all those standing against Bai Fu.
The president of the Pain Cult felt as if he had fallen into an icy pit, and the Black Mud Demon God reacted even more violently. At this point, it hadn’t been fully summoned by the president of the Pain Cult, so it turned around and tried to retreat.
Shit, don’t summon anymore, don’t summon anymore, quickly put me back!
It had realized, this absolutely couldn’t be what Overlord Yeanight, the Celestial Ocean Overlord, was like. The demon gods of Indigo Star were strong, but far from this level.
But everything was too late, from the moment they arrived at the Dusk Sect, it was already too late.
Bai Fu conjured up a Penetrating Lance out of thin air, and a huge white light lance shot out from her palm, instantly crossing over a thousand meters distance. Everything in front of the lance—people, armor, war chariots, trees, rocks—was pierced through.
“What kind of move is this?”
The nearby Survivors were scared stiff, some fell to the ground directly, wanting to escape but terrified to find they couldn’t lift their legs.
Bai Fu stepped forward and smiled, asking the Black Mud Demon God, “Demon God?”
The Black Mud Demon God hurriedly showed a fawning smile, “Ah, yes, yes, I am the Demon God.”
This was the first time the president of the Pain Cult had seen such an expression on the face of the Black Mud Demon God, but there was no trace of discrimination in his heart, who wouldn’t soften in the face of such a situation!
“Tell me where the origin is.” Bai Fu asked.
The Black Mud Demon God frowned, “I don’t know either, if I knew, I would have gone long ago.”
“Is that true?”
“Truly, truly cannot be truer.”
“So what use do I have for you.”
The Advanced Force Field compressed inward, in less than a second, a massive -3200 damage number floated above the head of the Black Mud Demon God, then its head tilted to the side, completely devoid of vitality.
“You…”
The president of the Pain Cult was already speechless with fear, never dreaming that the gap between them would be so great.
Slaying a deity?
This is slaying a deity, only the deity he relied on!
Bai Fu asked, “And you, do you know where the origin is?”
The president of the Pain Cult shook his head, but the next second he nodded vigorously, “I know, who knows, Itchy and Theresa know.”
Oh?
Bai Fu raised an eyebrow, she knew these two, they were the main characters of Indigo Star, worthy of being main characters, knowing so much.
“Thank you for telling me this.”
Bai Fu smiled and nodded to the president of the Pain Cult.
The president of the Pain Cult also laughed along, no, no need to thank, how dare I let you thank…
BOOM!
Surging Spiritual Energy shot out from Bai Fu’s palm, instantly engulfing the president of the Pain Cult.
After eliminating the two in succession, Bai Fu finally received the Main Quest she had been longing for. The quest objective was simple: explore the secret of the origin and eliminate the mental calamity phenomena that had ravaged Indigo Star for many years.
“Hey, you’ve already gotten what you wanted, now it’s my turn, right?”
Scarlet Leaf’s voice interrupted Bai Fu’s thoughts.
Bai Fu helplessly shrugged her shoulders, she always felt that Scarlet Leaf and Anya were about the same age: “Calm down a bit, don’t wreck the place, don’t hurt the innocents.”
Scarlet Leaf patted Bai Fu, “Relax, I’ll only kill those who rushed to attack you earlier.”
As soon as the words were spoken, Scarlet Leaf had already transformed into a phoenix and plunged into the crowd.
That previous Penetrating Lance had already shattered the inner defenses of these Secret Society members, after personally witnessing Bai Fu instantly killing the Black Mud Demon God and the president of the Pain Cult, now no one dared to resist.
Some were lying on the ground shouting for mercy, others were frantically fleeing.
What karma, why did they follow the president of the Pain Cult here!
Despair was spreading.
At first, Scarlet Leaf was quite happy killing, but after taking out more than a dozen people, she suddenly found it very boring.
She didn’t like killing people, she enjoyed the process of fighting, even fighting ants, but now these “ants” weren’t resisting at all, what was the point.
But she soon found a substitute.
After killing a mentalist who had shouted the loudest about wanting to kill Bai Fu, she suddenly looked up, through the thinning clouds, seeing several flying machines appear above the clouds.
These were the reinforcements called by the president of the Pain Cult from the Pursuit of Star Nation.
“What should we do?”
Scarlet Leaf cast an inquiring glance at Bai Fu.
At this moment, the pilots inside the flying machines were also seeking orders from their superior, General Yasini.
They had witnessed Bai Fu instantly killing the Black Mud Demon God and the president of the Pain Cult, and also saw Scarlet Leaf slaughtering indiscriminately, even though soaring in the sky, their legs still trembled uncontrollably.
Not long after, Yasini’s order came through the communicator.
“To deal with such monsters, we must use heavy hands. She dared to kill the president of the Pain Cult today, tomorrow she will dare to kill us. Bomb her with missiles, bomb her and the entire Dusk Sect flat. You don’t need to be afraid, I will send more reinforcements!”
Yasini was now shocked and angry.
It wasn’t because his decades-long partner, the president of the Pain Cult, was dead that he was angry. Over the years, he cooperated with the president of the Pain Cult because he also coveted the origin. His anger stemmed from the fact that what just happened made him feel a great threat.
If he doesn’t kill Overlord Yeanight now, when the origin appears, this Overlord Yeanight will surely become a disaster!
The pilot of the flying machine helplessly nodded.
They really didn’t want to fight Bai Fu, but since General Yasini said it, what could they do?
Fire.
If it’s continuous missile bombing, even a Demon God shouldn’t be able to withstand it, right?
“I advise you not to mess around.”
Just as one of the pilots was about to press the missile launch button, a cold female voice suddenly sounded in the cockpit.
“Who?”
He and Yasini were startled simultaneously.
The next second, the pilot was shocked to discover Bai Fu floating beside the flying machine.
“You…you…”
Bai Fu didn’t say anything else, just pointed her finger at the sky.
The pilot hurriedly looked up, then he saw that kilometer-long starship belonging to Scarlet Leaf. Compared to that starship, his flying machine was garbage, even calling it trash would be a compliment.
Still using missiles? Who can withstand such a starship!
The pilot screamed, disregarding Yasini’s orders, he forcefully pulled the lever of the flying machine, desperately fleeing far away. The other flying machines followed suit, each escaping faster than the last.
“I thought you’d shoot down these flying machines.” Scarlet Leaf flew beside Bai Fu.
Bai Fu said, “I’m not here to fight them.”
She casually grabbed a terrified mentalist from the ground and questioned Yasini’s situation. Upon inquiry, she learned that Yasini might be related to the president of the Pain Cult.
“Oh?”
Bai Fu raised an eyebrow.
She originally intended to let Yasini go, now it was a good opportunity to make an example of Yasini.
“Let’s go find Yasini.”
Since she had already learned that Itchy and Theresa knew the location of the origin, this time Bai Fu didn’t hide at all. She directly piloted the starship to hover directly above the capital of the Pursuit of Star Nation.
The appearance of the massive starship instantly ignited global public opinion on Indigo Star.
Aliens, or something else?
The citizens of the capital of the Pursuit of Star Nation were trembling with fear, from the president to the common people, all pale-faced.
After a while, Bai Fu flew out from the starship.
Countless eyes and countless cameras focused on Bai Fu, truly a spectacle under everyone’s attention. These gazes were filled with either fear or curiosity.
Bai Fu slowly descended, finally landing in front of the president of the Pursuit of Star Nation, despite being pointed at by countless weapons, she appeared relaxed.
“Relax, I mean you no harm.”
“You…who are you exactly?” The president of the Pursuit of Star Nation steeled himself to ask.
Bai Fu said, “You can call me Overlord Yeanight.”
Overlord Yeanight, Demon God?
The president of the Pursuit of Star Nation was greatly surprised.
Bai Fu said, “I came here today for two things. One thing is to completely eradicate the calamity phenomena of Indigo Star, which requires the help of Itchy and Theresa. Only they know where the origin is. I hope they will contact me as soon as possible after learning about what happened here through the news. The other thing is, I want to ask where General Yasini is.”
The president of the Pursuit of Star Nation said, “I…I find it hard to believe what you say, after all, you are a Demon God.”
“Is that so?”
Bai Fu nodded. She used her Spiritual Energy Super Perception skill, and a few seconds later, she gently nodded.
“I already know where General Yasini is, so there’s no need to trouble you with this matter.”
Just after saying this, she lifted her right hand, and surging Spiritual Energy erupted, instantly crossing two hundred meters and blasting Yasini hiding in a room into pieces.
Everything happened so suddenly that everyone present didn’t even react.
“Yasini colluded with the president of the Pain Cult, wanting to kill me for no reason, so I had no choice but to send him on his way. Well, let’s not talk about this unlucky guy anymore. Let’s discuss eradicating the calamity phenomena of Indigo Star instead. The calamity phenomena have lasted for hundreds of years on Indigo Star, bringing countless suffering and scars to the people of Indigo Star. I think it’s time to end all this. This is the wish of countless people on Indigo Star, and also something I, as Overlord Yeanight, have always wanted to do!”
Bai Fu smiled brightly, but this brightness seemed like the source of fear in the eyes of the president of the Pursuit of Star Nation. To him, she was a monster-like existence!
He roared endlessly in his heart, but dared not show any sign of it on his face, only nodding with a mournful look.
“I…I will immediately call on everyone to find Itchy and Theresa.”
Bai Fu nodded satisfactorily.
She wasn’t intentionally here to scare the president of the Pursuit of Star Nation, but using this method was more efficient than spending time looking for Itchy and Theresa herself.
Completing this Main Quest as soon as possible would allow her to confirm whether her previous conjecture was correct sooner, and to sooner cut the韭菜of Indigo Star Players.
Although doing this would temporarily cause fear and aversion among some people on Indigo Star, once she really eradicated the calamity phenomena on Indigo Star, such fear and aversion would disappear instantly.
Bai Fu quietly stood in place waiting.
Facing the curious gazes around her, she occasionally smiled and nodded in response.
This polite demeanor made many people on Indigo Star temporarily put aside their fear and instead pondered her words.
Is Overlord Yeanight really here to solve the calamity phenomena?
They hoped, but dared not hope too much.
An hour later, the president of the Pursuit of Star Nation returned, bringing Bai Fu the news she wanted—
Itchy and Theresa were coming quickly!
