Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 484 An enemy from outer space... How did they get wiped out in an instant?

Back in Stoneville, Bai Shi sat on the throne with one hand supporting his chin, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

However, the sudden, dazzling sunlight at the border proved that there was more to it than met the eye.

As soon as he returned to Stoneville, Bai Shi focused his mind back on his original body.

Because in his own perception, an uninvited guest had arrived in the starry space.

Thus, in the vast and boundless depths of the universe, a silent battle began.

Perhaps it shouldn't be called a battle, but rather a one-sided crushing and devouring.
-
After some time had passed, the first of the outer gods who had been drawn by the sun's fire when Bai Shi ascended to godhood finally arrived.

It was a vast, dim star, which looked as if it had been dead for countless years, but was still driven by some kind of desire.

According to His experience, the growth of the Outer Gods is quite slow.

The sun that has just ignited its flames is not to be feared, while another truly powerful sun is already incredibly far away.

The question shouldn't be whether we can grab it, but whether we can get there first.

In His heart, as long as He could arrive in time, the fire would surely be saved.

So when He saw the sun, the true form of the white consciousness, He was surprised by its unusually rapid growth, but He couldn't help but feel fortunate.

If we delay any longer, then there might be risks involved.

The distorted shadows of the Outer God, extending from between the stars, tore through the void like tentacles, attempting to reach the core of the sun.

As long as the core spark is obtained, even He... can reignite the flame of life.

Bai Shi saw that the opponent was coming with great force, and the sun's flames surged like giant waves, engulfing the opponent's approaching shadows.

But the shadows seemed to come in an endless stream, surging forth like a tsunami.

Faced with the opponent's attack, Bai Shi smiled slightly and cooperated by using matching power to deal with it.

Perfect, this way I can also find out the current level of my power.

The collision between the two is not a battle of flesh and blood, but a pure clash of energy and laws.

Each clash unleashed a surge of energy powerful enough to obliterate the surrounding microcosm, eroding each other's power.

But soon, the Outer Gods on the other side began to realize that something was not quite right.

No matter how much power He exerts, Bai Shi can always counter it with equal power.

At first, He thought that the two were of similar strength and that it would take some effort to attack, so He launched an even more frantic attack.

But when He exerted all His strength but still could not shake the sun even slightly, He finally realized that He was still a step too late.

The opponent's power far exceeded what its size indicated; it had grown to a point where He could no longer devour it.

When the sun's flames suddenly intensify and its corona licks away its outer shell, it inevitably fails.

He did not regret coming, but only regretted not being one step faster...

The sun's blazing flames burned everything, slowly drawing the remaining shell into its core, turning it into burning firewood.

In the darkness of the stars, all sound was silenced, with only ripples of energy spreading in the stillness.
-
Meanwhile, the creatures at the border were completely unaware of this cosmic battle.

They only saw the sky change abruptly; the originally gentle sunlight suddenly became blindingly hot, and the clouds were torn to shreds by an invisible force.

The daylight was bright, and people did not know that Bai Shi was devouring another invading outer god; they only thought it was a miracle that had been revealed once again.

Only a select few with exceptionally high sensitivity can perceive these strange and unpredictable figures through their extraordinary spiritual vision.

The entire sky trembled slightly, as if some enormous thing was churning in the distance, or as if the whole world was shrouded in some unspeakable gaze.

Believers knelt in prayer, viewing the vision as the sun spreading miracles once again.

Scholars recorded this unusual light, attempting to explain and explore its origins, but to no avail.
-
Bai Shi swallowed the lifeless star into his body and slowly digested it, his power growing once again.

Having undergone two periods of infinite growth and consumed six uses of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, Bai Shi's Sun is no longer comparable to what it used to be.

It can be said that a few months is equivalent to the lifetime of most Outer Gods, and even far surpasses it.

Thus, the outer god who arrived first and tried to devour Bai Shi was instead devoured by him and turned into fuel for burning.

Although the other party seemed to die without any dignity, it didn't cause much of a stir.

However, in terms of power, this Outer God that was just devoured was not weak at all.

The battles of the Outer Gods are actually quite simple and unpretentious.

It can be said that it is basically just about numbers and size.

Whoever has the bigger fist is the stronger one; there's no possibility of fighting someone of a higher level.

If the gap between the two sides is not too large, they can still compete on the rules and perhaps have a chance to win against the stronger opponent.

However, in this vast galaxy, the probability of encountering an Outer God with similar power is quite small.

Compared to a small celestial body like the Mother of the Formless, the power and size of that star were far more exaggerated; even a dozen Mothers of the Formless wouldn't be enough to defeat it.

If Bai Shi hadn't grown infinitely again, relying solely on his previous accumulation, he probably wouldn't have been able to solve the problem so easily.

Moreover, those who would take such a risky step as to plunder the sun's fire are probably not benevolent people to begin with.

No wonder He was confident in arriving first to compete; He certainly had the resources and means to do so.

Unfortunately, He encountered Bai Shi, who was so overpowered that he no longer needed to act.

As it happened, Bai Shi had also restrained his power to prevent the sun's high temperature from engulfing the surrounding world, and thus, by sheer coincidence, he deceived Him.

This little incident also gave Bai Shi a clearer understanding of his current strength and abilities.

For him, this level is now almost enough to completely protect himself in space.

Of course, this is just a conservative estimate.

To be honest, Bai Shi has been acting recklessly and has no need to worry about being targeted by certain beings.

Aside from truly supreme deities like the Sun, who are at max level, the other celestial bodies probably have no way to deal with him.

If there were another infinite growth, Bai Shi's level might be enough to reach their level.

Bai Shi was quite satisfied with his current strength.

Keep in mind that there are still many achievements to unlock, and there are virtually no future costs, so you can save them all for your own growth.

After several more growths, Bai Shi will be truly invincible.

Having snowballed his advantage to this point, Bai Shi has now completely turned his accumulated advantage into an invincible path.

Having great strength is the greatest guarantee that the sun's rays will shine eternally.

As for the Outer Gods who might come to harass them in an endless stream, Bai Shi silently mourned for them in his heart.

They never imagined that a celestial body could grow at such a speed that defied the laws of the universe; they thought that Bai Shi was just a 'snack' that was obtained on a first-come, first-served basis.

The thought of the endless stream of Outer Gods still clinging to their previous perceptions and ideas, swarming towards him like tiny puddings or cakes, made Bai Shi want to chuckle. This was perfect for him; he could enjoy a buffet while sitting at home without moving a muscle—it couldn't be more enjoyable.

The other side were all guys who had offended him first and intended to devour him, so it would be a shame not to use them as fuel.

The thought that he might one day earn the title of "Celestial Devourer" filled Bai Shi with delight.
-
Bai Shi's body on the border reopened its eyes, and a fierce light suddenly burst forth from the depths of its pupils.

As far as the eye could see, the space seemed to be slightly distorted, as if it were being scorched by flames.

If someone were to look directly into Bai Shi's eyes now, they would be completely captivated by that power, just as if they were looking directly into the sun.

Bai Shi realized that the power within his body was now excessive and immediately took measures.

Bai Shi closed his eyes again, exhaled slightly, and suppressed the power that had unconsciously flowed out.

Having just finished a hearty meal, I felt a surge of energy, and I felt quite full.

So much so that the body on the border began to react.

When Bai Shi reopened his eyes, the sunlight had finally completely subsided as before, without any abnormality.

Nodding, Bai Shi snapped his fingers lightly, summoning the Black Blade Assassins in the city.

Bai Shi was not yet ready to set off for Fam Yazra.

Fam Azra was surrounded by a storm, which was also partially shielded by a trace of the Dragon King's power.

If they were to search directly, it would take some effort; it would be better to wait for Celine Sanders to lead the way.

Now, it's a good time to take care of the remaining tasks.

Not long after, Slud arrived silently before the throne of the White King.

Slud remained respectfully kneeling on one knee before Bai Shi, head bowed, awaiting instructions.

Bai Shi tapped the throne lightly with his fingertips and asked Slud:
"Have you done what I asked you to do before?"

"I'm curious to see what kind of expression Baizhi will have."

Slud nodded, replying meticulously:

"Yes, I have met Sir Hundred Wisdom as you wished."

"The letter you requested to be shown to him has been successfully delivered, and he has been able to read its contents."

"And there's no need to worry about secrecy. No one but Sir Hundred has seen the contents of the letter, including myself."

Bai Shi nodded slightly, signaling Slud to continue.

Bai Shi was also looking forward to Bai Zhi's reaction.

What kind of expression would that cunning fox spirit have when she learns about such world-shaking information?

If someone were just an ordinary resident of the border area, they might not be so shocked to hear such news.

They are more likely to ask in surprise: Who is Radagan?
Ahem, there's no need to analyze Wang Fu's joke any further.

After all, the Radagan that the world knows is not his true form; he is indeed a hero worthy of the title of king.

In short, only intelligent people like Bai Zhi and Jin Maishi would be truly shocked when they uncover the truth.

Slud nodded slightly, recalling the previous scene, and reported Bai Zhi's performance as Bai Shi had requested.

However, expecting a black-knife assassin to recreate the scene like a storyteller is unrealistic. Slud's tone was completely flat as she calmly recounted the events:

"After seeing the contents of your letter, Sir Hundred Wisdom was completely unable to maintain his previous calm and composure."

"He stood up abruptly, and the noise from the tables and chairs disturbed the fading people outside the room."

"He was so terrified that cold sweat pooled on the table, and he didn't even care that his books and documents were getting wet."

"This state lasted for a long time, during which he did not make any other moves, perhaps he was thinking."

"It wasn't until about half a minute later that Sir Hundred's emotions finally calmed down."

Bai Shi listened to Slud's very bland report, and his excitement completely died.

He sighed inwardly, feeling a slight sense of regret.

If possible, he would prefer to give a more vivid and engaging presentation rather than such a formal report.

After all, he had been waiting for Bai Zhi's reaction for a long time, and he really hoped to make that old fox suffer a great humiliation.

However, Slud is, after all, a cold and aloof assassin, and telling stories is too much for her; a serious report is more in line with her style.

Fortunately, Bai Shi's ability to fill in the blanks was not bad, and the description he got from Slud was enough for him to imagine the scene at that time.

Bai Shi stroked his chin and continued to ask:

"and then?"

"Did Baizhi say anything else? Like he wanted to meet me or something?"

"Baizhi will figure it out quickly after seeing the contents; he's a smart man."

"He has no choice but to come to me if he wants to know the truth."

Slud paused slightly, then immediately replied truthfully:
"Yes, everything is exactly as you predicted."

"Sir Hundred Wisdom has requested an audience, hoping to have a conversation with you."

"Perhaps... they still want to confirm the contents of the letter."

In fact, Slud was just as curious as anyone else about what was written in Bai Shi's letter.

If even the so-called Lord Baizhi was that shocked, it must be something concerning the entire border region.

However, Slud was also well aware of her identity and responsibilities, and she would never investigate things that were not her responsibility.

Knowing Bai Zhi's thoughts, Bai Shi nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, when it comes to experience and wisdom, Baizhi truly lives up to his name in every aspect.

Unfortunately, the borderlands are full of lies, and even the words and guidance of God cannot be entirely trusted.

Even someone as intelligent as Bai Zhi was not immune.

His ability to detect something amiss and investigate the truth is enough to prove his true talent and ability.

Therefore, if given the opportunity, Bai Shi also hopes to recruit Bai Zhi under his command.

After all, he didn't have a very good strategist among his subordinates.

There is no irreconcilable conflict between the two. It is quite normal for Bai Shi to face some doubts or fears before he became famous.

If Bai Zhi can recognize the situation now and pledge his loyalty, then Bai Shi can reserve a place for him in the future.

Bai Shi stood up, dismissed Slud, and went to the Great Blessing alone.
