Chapter 289: The Wandering Blade of the Avenger, a brand new main storyline [5k]

After the level is increased and the passive skill of [Heart of the True Spirit] attached to the advanced knowledge of "The Limits of the Mind" is mastered, the number of psychic summons that Bai Fu can control increases significantly.

Even though her prayer card bonus cap is still +11, the psychic legions she controls now can defeat several of the psychic legions she controlled before.

After the bonus cap of the prayer card was raised to +13, and several passive abilities were added to increase the legion's output and recovery capabilities, the combat effectiveness of her psychic legion soared more than ten times compared to before!
That's what a summoner is like.

The limit of combat effectiveness depends on how many soldiers can be produced and the quality of the soldiers produced.

Of course, while the summoner's combat power limit far exceeds that of other super-powered people of the same rank, its biggest shortcoming is its low defense, which is even more fragile than the mage profession known for its "fragility".

This is true for all "summoning" professions such as Psychic Painter, Legion Mechanic, and Spirit Controller.

It doesn't mean that the super-powered people in these professions have no possibility to improve their tankiness. In the starry sky, there are many low-demand training methods to improve physical fitness. In addition to self-training, technology can also improve tankiness to a certain extent.

But the problem is that the summoning profession requires so much to learn and build, so much so that most of the summoning profession's super-powered people don't even have enough time to do their job well, let alone distract themselves to improve their physical fitness.

All in all, every profession has its advantages and disadvantages.

The process of super-powered people's advancement is the process of unearthing more advantages and overcoming more disadvantages.

In battles between super-powered people, they often use their own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses.

Even though Bai Fu has a player panel, she cannot be said to be without any shortcomings. For example, after advancing so many times, her health recovery speed during battle is still far inferior to those super-powered people from the physical cultivation school.

However, she has done a good job of covering up this shortcoming with out-of-combat recovery and resurrection mechanics.

If you can’t recover your health, then don’t recover it!
Let’s fight head-on and see who can deplete the opponent’s health bar first!
The worst that can happen is that you beat me to death. As long as the Ark of Heaven is not lost, I will be a good woman again in a few months or years!
"Something's wrong, there's something wrong with Bai Fu's aura!"

The painter thought that as long as she could hold Dmitri back, the summoned beast she summoned would be able to quickly kill Bai Fu, but the actual battle scene was completely different from what she had imagined.

Facing the explosive attack from the summoned beast, Bai Fu’s response was not to flee, but to fight back with an even more ferocious posture!

The huge psychic army rushed towards the summoned beast like a sharp arrow. Everything that stood in the way of the sharp arrow, even the illusion formed by the gathering of psychic energy, was torn to pieces under the more intense psychic impact.

To outsiders, Bai Fu's army seemed to have broken through the entire world and rushed to the summoned beasts.

The two sides fought fiercely without any reservation.

Psychic energy surges, collides, and explodes.

A good planet was shattered into pieces in the blink of an eye, until it was cut into dust that was invisible to the naked eye in the howling interstellar storm.

At the edge of the battlefield, Bai Fu calmly directed the legions to encircle, recover and integrate.

The summoned beasts broke out of the encirclement of the psionic legion several times, trying to use a decapitation tactic.

But most of the time, Bai Fu relied on void travel to close the distance between the two sides. Occasionally, she was unable to dodge, but she was not afraid at all and would just take it with her shield turned on.

The summoned beast that could easily shatter the stars used almost all of its trump cards, but still couldn't kill Bai Fu.

Although it was not as unresponsive as it was the first time it hit Bai Fu, but judging from its current posture, it would have to let Bai Fu let go and stand there motionless to let it beat it continuously for a minute or two before it could kill Bai Fu.

Obviously, Bai Fu would not give it this opportunity.

Moreover, even if Bai Fu really stood still and let it hit her, the summoned beast would not dare to rush forward foolishly.

While it was beating Bai Fu, the psychic army summoned by Bai Fu was also beating it.

The two sides fought each other with all their might. After a minute or two, the one who died first might not be Bai Fu, but it might be the one attacked by the Psychic Legion!
"When did Bai Fu become so strong?"

Dmitri and the painter's faces changed at the same time.

Before coming to Besen Star, Demetrius had already learned from Bai Fu that she had reached the peak of the Domination, so he had long known that Bai Fu was very powerful, but he still didn't expect that Bai Fu was so powerful that she could fight against a super-class summoned beast without showing any signs of defeat.

No, this is not about not showing any signs of defeat, but about actually having the upper hand!
Dmitri was shocked.

The painter was several times more shocked than Dmitri.

She had been secretly observing Bai Fu, and when she learned that Bai Fu was still able to escape from the pursuit of the Apostle Holy City, she concluded that Bai Fu's strength was also at the top level among the dominant levels.

In order to ensure that Bai Fu could be killed, she took great pains to obtain an ultra-high-level summoned beast.

However, she never dreamed that even the super-level summoned beasts could not kill Bai Fu!
If I could do it again...

What's the point of starting over!

The painter gritted his teeth.

She is already steady enough to use her extraordinary strength. Unless she can open her third eye and directly predict Bai Fu's true strength, how can she remain steady?

"Monsters, these apostles are all monsters!"

The painter's heart was trembling constantly, and in the trembling, her murderous intent became stronger.

She couldn't just admit defeat and leave like that. Precisely because the situation was out of control, she should try her best to kill Bai Fu here. Otherwise, once Bai Fu really advanced to the super-level, it would be even more difficult to kill her.

"Since Bai Fu is not in danger, we should settle our accounts."

Just as the painter was about to make a move, Dmitri's sneer rang in his ears.

The situation is not good!

The painter's face turned white and then black, and then black and then white.

Annihilation is a very special power that can disintegrate the target from the most basic particle level, causing the target to be annihilated.

The lethality of this ability is extremely terrifying. It can be called the nemesis of the nemesis when facing an opponent with the ability of "rebirth by dripping blood". However, its disadvantage is that it is extremely difficult to control and its range of action is not large.

Simply put, Dmitri is not very good at large-scale interstellar battles, but if it is a 1v1 duel, even super-powered people who have undergone more divine transformations than him will have a headache, which is one of the reasons why he has a very high status in the empire.

The reason why the painter was able to entangle Dmitri was not because she was stronger than Dmitri, but mainly because she blinded Dmitri's perception with endless visions, making it impossible for Dmitri to grasp where she really was.

This kind of operation is difficult to sustain.

Because Dmitri could miss many times, but if he hit her just once, she would be seriously injured.

"It seems that I can only use that trump card!"

The painter's eyes struggled for several times.

She didn't really want to use that trump card because it would put a huge psychological burden on her, but she had to do it now.

The painter threw out all the vision cards he had saved in one breath.

After weaving a dozen-layer vision cage for Dmitri, a faint white fluorescence suddenly appeared on her body.

"!"

Bai Fu turned her head sharply.

As a fellow psychic painter, she immediately noticed that something was wrong with the movement of psychic energy in the painter's body.

After using high-dimensional bird's-eye view, he saw that a huge amount of spiritual energy was pouring into the painter's body from the void.

Apostolic Gifts

There is a new status above the painter's head. With the bonus of this status, her attributes, resistance and other data increase significantly.

Bai Fu was not surprised at all that the painter had a secret method to improve his strength, but what made her uneasy was that this method was called [Apostle's Gift].

"???"

Bai Fu was full of questions.

"Didn't you say that apostles shouldn't exist in this world? In the end, you have to use the power of the apostles to deal with me who is not an apostle?"

The sound was mixed with spiritual energy, passed through the storms in the universe, and finally fell into the ears of the painter.

As if the time-stop button was pressed, the painter's body suddenly shook, and then he froze in place.

How did Bai Fu know that she had borrowed the power of the apostle?

Even the apostles themselves cannot tell where a piece of psychic energy comes from, after all, there is no name written on the psychic energy.

She began to feel a strong sense of uneasiness, but more of it was the heartache of being exposed.

Indeed, she dreamed of killing all the apostles and making the psychic energy, which had brought her countless traumas, disappear from the world. But the dilemma was that in order to achieve this goal, she had to use psychic energy and even contact the apostles to make herself stronger with the help of the apostles. Otherwise, she might not be able to achieve this goal even if she practiced until the next life.

This contradiction between reality and ideal often makes her feel tormented.

She had thought more than once that if Mary were in her position, she would not have this kind of trouble, because Mary was the kind of person who would stick to something unswervingly once she decided on it, while her character, which was honed in the overly smooth first half of her life, was not tough enough and she was always prone to worrying about gains and losses.

Just like this time.

Because she was discovered by Bai Fu, she paused for a long time, so that Dmitri had already broken through many layers of the vision cage.

The current amount of time was not enough for her to escape from Dmitri after killing Bai Fu.

I have to leave.

Once she was entangled by Dmitri, even if she did not die at his hands, she would be surrounded by the imperial reinforcements that would arrive later.

"The next time we meet, it will be your death!"

The painter stared at Bai Fu for a long time, and then his whole body turned into a ball of white energy and disappeared into the vision cage out of thin air.

With her departure, the summoned beast's power was greatly reduced. It was already at a disadvantage in the besiege of the psychic army, and it became even more exhausted. Soon it was beaten to pieces by the continuous attacks like a raging wave, until it let out a wail and dissipated into psychic energy all over the sky.

"Are you OK?"

Dmitri came hurriedly, his face full of embarrassment.

Bai Fu shook her head: "I'm fine, Lord Annihilation, you should report what happened here to the Empire as soon as possible."

Seeing that there was no dissatisfaction on Bai Fu's face, Dmitri couldn't help but sigh.

What is going on? If Bai Fu wasn’t so strong, he would have been protecting Bai Fu in vain.

When Dmitri went aside to report the news, Bai Fu opened the game prompt interface.

When she was fighting with the painter just now, she received several prompts in succession, but because of the time pressure, she had no time to check them carefully.

The first hint was that she had triggered an emergency assassination mission.

The second hint said that she triggered a new main quest [Subvert the World]. The quest objective was to find out the painter's origins and true camp. The quest reward was 5 million experience points and a Psychic Construction Blueprint Evolution Card.

"Main quest?"

Bai Fu raised her eyebrows slightly. She thought of what the painter had said before. It seemed that the painter was not alone, but there was a huge organization behind her.

Which organization would it be?

Could it be that the story the painter just told is also false?
The threat from the Holy City of Apostles and the Ten Saints Society is imminent, and a mysterious organization has popped up here, which is really a headache.

Bai Fu skipped this one for the time being and continued to look at the following tips.

The third tip said that she killed an extremely powerful summoned beast and received a reward of 9.3 million experience points.

I can only say that this summoned beast is really useless. Even the super-level one only gives more than 900 million experience points.

The fourth hint said that she completed the emergency assassination mission and gained 15 billion experience points and a skill card [Wonderful Moment] from the painter.

[Wonderful Moment] is an illusion skill, but unlike ordinary illusion skills, it has a strong brainwashing effect. It can directly reverse the target's cognition and make the target unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.

"Although the lethality is not that great, if you use it in a situation where you don't want to cause large-scale chaos, this skill card is still quite powerful."

Bai Fu was very satisfied with this reward.

However, what made her most satisfied on this trip to Besen Star was that she actually got a color-quality prayer card drawing from the painter.

Now she was only one color-quality prayer card blueprint and a racial potential score of 7.9 away from reaching the super-level.

“No matter how slow it is, it should be able to advance to the super level in version 2.3.”

There is no way to obtain color-quality prayer card blueprints through quests or transactions. At worst, you can prepare a lot of experience to gamble for cards. As long as you invest enough, you will always be able to gamble for a card.

Bai Fu happily turned off the game prompt.

After waiting for a while, Dmitri came over and said that the empire had already arranged people to investigate the painter's background.

The two left the battlefield and went to the empire's home planet first.

The empire did not publicize the painter's assassination of Bai Fu, but the news that Bai Fu was able to defeat an ultra-high-level summoned beast still caused a sensation in a small circle.

Oh my god, so fierce?

After arriving at the empire's home planet, Bai Fu truly felt how exaggerated her popularity was now.

So many Imperials were crowded outside the airport that the Empire had to dispatch a large number of mechanical guards to maintain order to avoid accidents.

Not only is she popular among ordinary people, but her popularity among super-powered people is also ridiculously high.

"Your Excellency, Lord Dark, don't worry. If the painter is disrespectful to you, she is also disrespectful to me. If I meet her, I will make sure she suffers the consequences!"

No matter whether they were the super experts who had received instruction or not, they all stood up and made harsh remarks.

Bai Fu could tell that some of them were just acting.

Language can deceive, but favorability cannot.

But regardless of whether they are sincere or not, as long as they stand up and express their opinions, they are building momentum for her, and once the momentum is built, the benefits it brings are -

"I'm going to be rich again!"

Bai Fu only stayed in the Empire's mother planet for two days, but during these two days she received a large number of cooperation invitations. Even the investment giant Eternal Investment, headquartered in Titan Industries, came to her.

However, Eternal Investment was relatively restrained. They did not discuss cooperation in the employment business, but rather the authorization of the "Cosmic Network" character cards.

As Bai Fu's popularity continues to grow, the sales data of her character card in "Cosmic Network" is also getting better and better.

Yongheng Investment hopes to obtain full authorization from Bai Fu and produce various versions of Bai Fu character cards, such as [Dark Lord Bai Fu], [Twins Bai Fu], [Saint Bai Fu], etc.

With the mentality of "you'd be a fool not to make money if you have the chance", Bai Fuhe happily signed a contract with Yongheng Investment.

"It's a pity that no one wants me to shoot commercials now. Otherwise, with my current fame, I could make a lot of money just by sending Hei Fu out to shoot commercials."

Bai Fu sighed regretfully.

Since we can’t make a lot of money from advertising, we can only make money by selling resources.

When it comes to selling resources, she has to continue to exploit the players and force them to speed up their exploration. This way, she can occupy the land in advance and take those rare minerals for herself. Then, whether she mines them herself or sells them to the empire, she can make a lot of money.

Otherwise, once the version is updated, without the hard work of the players, her progress in exploring the dark domain will definitely lag far behind other forces.

After signing a bunch of contracts, Bai Fu originally wanted to stay in the Empire's mother planet for a few more days, but news came from Zuyuan Star that an exploration fleet commanded by players suddenly lost contact. She gave up the idea of ​​staying in the Empire and planned to go back to take a look.

This time Dmitri did not go with her, as the empire was now in a state of panic because of what the painter had said.

The painter wants to overthrow the empire. Is she alone, or is there a group of people behind her?

This issue must be clarified as soon as possible.

The Empire is likely to come into conflict with the Holy City of Apostles next. At this critical moment, if the painter suddenly jumps out and causes trouble, it may cause the Empire to suffer huge losses.

"Based on what the painter said, we found out her true identity. She should be the daughter of the owner of a starship leasing company in the Takli Republic of the Seabuckthorn Supercluster. Her full name is Selina Rayleigh Golden Ocean. According to public investigation records, she died in the summoning ceremony."

"But now she is still alive, so there are two possibilities. One is that she lied and she is not Selina at all. The other is that she tampered with the spiritual disaster investigation data."

"No matter what the real reason is, what is certain now is that we can't find any more information about her. If we want to catch her, we can only wait for her to show up on her own initiative."

All the members in the meeting room looked embarrassed.

A Super-Level II Avenger is not easy to deal with. In terms of danger level, the Painter might be even more dangerous than a Saint.

If there weren't such a huge monster as the Holy City of the Apostles, the Ten Saints and the painters would not be afraid to go to the Empire together, but now... the Empire can only be said to be in an awkward position.

It was such an eventful time.
