When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 1086 - 395: Battle of the Covenant

"I can't give you an answer right now, give me a day, by this time tomorrow I will tell you my decision."

"Alright."

Ignatius agreed readily, not making things difficult for Bai Fu.

Their conversation was fraught with danger, but to those unaware of the context, it seemed baffling.

The stakes were all the civilizations in the universe, what kind of nonsense is that?

The moment the conversation ended, Ignatius received a flood of inquiries from Origins Agreement members.

The one leading them was the Destiny Weaver who was recovering from injuries.

"Ignatius, do you know what you're doing?"

Destiny Weaver didn't even bother to refer to Ignatius as the leader.

Ignatius maintained a calm demeanor: "Of course I know, don't worry, I'm not actually planning to do it, I'm just intimidating Bai Fu, I'm betting that she doesn't dare to bet against me. Right now, aside from this method, we have no other way to force Bai Fu to come out willingly to meet her doom."

His words convinced many, but not the Destiny Weaver.

Destiny Weaver was someone who joined the Origins Agreement earlier than he did.

He became the current leader of the Origins Agreement, thanks in no small part to Destiny Weaver's efforts.

"If you succeed in your gamble, that'll be good."

Destiny Weaver nodded, saying no more.

He realized the problem.

In the past period, he always thought Ignatius had changed, but upon reflection, he was gravely mistaken.

In fact, Ignatius had never changed at all.

The reason he now felt Ignatius had changed was simply that Ignatius had never fully revealed himself before.

In the past, Ignatius had led a charmed life.

From the moment he was born into the Imperial Royal Family of the Rebirth Empire, he was adorned with countless halos, basking in endless praise.

Before that, the biggest setback he faced was the Imperial Expeditionary Army being crushed by the Superpower Garden.

However, this defeat wasn't enough to cause him real pressure.

The Empire's foundation remained, and more importantly, the Empire stood alongside the Supernova Battle Group and Titan Industry, these two cosmic-level influences would never sit by and watch the Empire be swallowed by the Superpower Garden.

After navigating through the crisis with the Superpower Garden, Ignatius became completely "saintlike."

Whether in the Empire or later in the Origins Agreement, he was always held in high regard.

He always stood aloft, gazing down at the world below.

He had never truly seen the Abyss, who knew what he would do when he truly touched it?

Destiny Weaver felt he finally saw it this time.

He started to regret.

But it was too late.

The current Ignatius was simply beyond his control.

The purpose of the Origins Agreement's establishment was to find any means possible to completely resolve the Harvester's Descent crisis.

To achieve this goal, even sacrificing some people is no big deal.

But now under Ignatius's leadership, Destiny Weaver felt the Origins Agreement had deviated from its course.

He doubted that after establishing a new order, Ignatius would bother looking for solutions to the problem, rather focusing on maintaining this order, on eliminating anyone who dared challenge him.

"What to do?"

For a moment, Destiny Weaver was at a loss.

He believed there was a high chance Bai Fu would capitulate under Ignatius's threats and then die aggrieved at his hands.

Once Bai Fu dies, among all known people, there would be no one left to challenge Ignatius.

...

While Destiny Weaver was at a loss, Bai Fu was also deep in thought.

Should she go?

If she goes, with her current power it would surely lead to a dead end.

But if she doesn't go, there's also a high likelihood she'll die, only the entire universe's intelligent beings would accompany her in death.

Bai Fu didn't actually know much about Ignatius.

But judging from Ignatius's expression and tone earlier, she felt Ignatius was the kind of person who would drag everyone down with him.

"Fufu, you mustn't go!"

"Indeed, going means falling into his trap."

"Fufu, rest assured, nothing will happen to this world, because this world is @*#..."

In the hall, the players started trying to dissuade her.

Some players' words turned into strange, meaningless sounds. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Of course, Bai Fu knew what they were trying to say.

The essence of it being that this world is a game world, and game developers would never allow Ignatius to recklessly destroy the game world.

Even if Ignatius somehow succeeded, the developers would restore the game, or start a new version of the entire parallel world and reset everything.

It was reasonable for players to think this way.

But is this game really just a game?

Bai Fu almost didn't believe it anymore.

So she didn't think any restoration or parallel world would appear.

Buzz buzz buzz——

Just then, Bai Fu suddenly noticed her communicator ringing.

She clicked to see that the person contacting her was Aijie.

Hmm?

Could something have happened over at the Silent Alliance?

Bai Fu quickly answered the call.

"I watched the livestream just now," Aijie got straight to the point, "I think you can agree, but you need to find a way to set the duel for a month later."

Bai Fu asked in surprise, "Sister Aijie, do you have a special plan?"

Aijie explained, "I can use my power to help you speed up the fusion with the Double Helix Tree, once you've completely fused with it, I believe you can defeat Ignatius."

Bai Fu's heartbeat skipped a beat.

She forced herself to calm down.

"What price do you need to pay?"

"Just giving up my status as a Void Realm Administrator, a decline in power, being weak for a period, that's all, it's not a big deal, you're not going to leave me after my power declines."

Bai Fu stared into Aijie's eyes for a while, then nodded in agreement.

No problem, she had hacks, she could stop anytime if something felt off.

After ending the call with Aijie, Bai Fu didn't rush to reply to Ignatius.

She specifically waited a day.

Wait for this event to ferment, wait for everyone to speculate on how she would decide.

Using this day's time, she also made some other arrangements.

First, issuing orders in the name of Odoacer to various parts of the Empire, instructing them to abandon resistance.

Then, directing An Ya and others to raid the headquarters of Eternal Investment, crushing He Xi, to show the world the consequences of siding with the Origins Agreement.

After handling these two matters, Bai Fu also engaged in another deep discussion with Aijie, confirming many details before contacting Ignatius.

"Alright, I agree, have you thought of the time and place?"

Ignatius sneered: "Why rush, I'll tell you the place a day in advance."

"What about the time?"

Ignatius didn't answer immediately, he was clearly calculating when exactly he would return.

Bai Fu interjected: "Two months later?"

"Not that long needed."

"Then a month later."

Bai Fu pulled up the Imperial Calendar and drew a circle on it.

Ignatius didn't overthink it, agreeing right away.

Returning from the explored universe wouldn't actually take that long, but he also needed to prepare, and what could Bai Fu do in a month?

Their conversation ended quickly.

Just like last time, players once again livestreamed the entire event.

The whole Star Sea was shaken by it.

But Bai Fu's mind was already elsewhere.

With only a month left, she needed to quickly eliminate the debuff caused by the resurrection process, to quickly bring Aijie over.

The day after bringing Aijie near, Bai Fu received good news.

The Superpower Evolution Tree deduced the advanced form of Demetri's superpower.

"Could destiny be on my side?"

Bai Fu's eyes lit up.

Receiving such good news at this time, it was hard for her not to get excited.

She hastily approached the Superpower Evolution Tree.

[Annihilation Ex]

After reading the new superpower's introduction, Bai Fu couldn't help but scratch her head.

It's certain that this superpower was indeed much stronger than Demetri's [Annihilation].

However, Bai Fu didn't think this superpower was enough to threaten her life.

"Is this really Ignatius's trump card?"

Bai Fu was puzzled and unable to understand.

Suddenly.

"Fufu, Fufu."

Bai Fu received a contact from Digging Girl.

"What's happened?"

"Odoacer said he has a secret to share with you, a secret that Bulalo had secretly told him before."

"Hmm?"

Bai Fu narrowed her eyes, sensing something extraordinary.
