When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

"Weren't the medical department's researches into the Undying People found to produce nothing of use?"

"It's precisely because they haven't found anything of use that it's strange. Their Undying Ability is just too weird. 'Radiant' analyzed that it's likely the effect of some unknown Cosmic Treasure. Judging from Bai Fu's relationship with those Undying People, even if she doesn't have control over that Cosmic Treasure, she probably knows what it is."

Annihilation deeply agreed.

But to win Bai Fu over, relying on benefits alone wouldn't be enough. Bai Fu was a person of integrity, and she didn't seem like someone who could be swayed by mere money.

Let's give it a try first.

When Cosmic Civilizations interacted with others, they preferred to extend courtesy before using force. After all, they were a civilization first and not a large-scale criminal organization. Without rules, there is no circle. If they simply took what they desired by force, those powers and individuals who had formed alliances with them would fall into panic, potentially turning to the other two Major Cosmic Civilizations to oppose them.

Bai Fu met with the group sent by the Imperial and noted their faces one by one, taking the time to memorize their names before joining the pre-battle meeting.

The Empire had invited her to act as a radar, so during the meeting, she was purely an observer.

After some discussion, everyone unanimously decided to have her stand next to Chong Xiao. One would point out the enemy's location while the other would direct the mechanical army to suppress them.

"Haha, I've found that Saint an eyesore for a long time. He escaped last time, but this time, I'll strip his skin for sure!"

"Don't boast. You? The Saint can take on five of you. Don't forget how badly you were beaten during the Radiant incident!"

"That doesn't count; I had no idea that bastard had so many tricks up his sleeve. In these recent years, I've gone through targeted improvement. Next time I see him, I promise to smash him to pieces."

"Heh..."

Amid the bickering, the Empire's Expeditionary Army made a beeline for the landing point pointed out by Bai Fu.

With the help of Chong Xiao, the fleet's speed was unbelievably fast. In just one day, they had moved from the assembly point to the outskirts of the landing point.

Standing on the Planet Level mothership of the Empire and looking out at the Artificial Planet that was just slightly smaller than the mothership, Bai Fu fell into deep contemplation.

She thought she was already very wealthy, but compared to these major powers…

Thankfully, she was still young.

Thankfully, there were a plethora of Players out there waiting for her to exploit.

"Legion Commander Demetri, all units are prepared to attack, awaiting your command!"

Demetri was Annihilation's name, and Legion Commander was his position. He was not only an Elder of the Elder Council but also a Legion Commander, usually in charge of a Star Zone, with immense prestige.

Demetri responded indifferently, "Begin."

There were no reservations needed when dealing with an organization like the Ten Saints Association, which was designated as a terror organization by the Three Major Cosmic Civilizations. They just needed to attack.

Following Demetri's command, in an instant, ten thousand warships and millions of elite Imperial warriors charged towards the Artificial Planet directly ahead.

Long beams tore through the Star Sea, while the heavy Annihilation cannons flashed through the deep space.

This huge commotion immediately drew the attention of the Ten Saints Association.

"What's going on?"

The Saint, wearing a large white hood, stood up, the signature tentacles poking out from under the hood trembling slightly, revealing his inner unease.

News quickly came in; it was the Imperial launching an attack.

"?"

The Saint was dumbfounded.

Like, what's the joke?

He had returned from the Dark Domain full of ambition, yet before he could begin to unfold his grand plans, he had been struck by two successive clandestine blows. Who could he even seek justice from?

After the recent exposure of the landing point leading to a disaster struck by the Empire, the Saint had specifically requested assistance from the Apostle Holy City to send the Mechanic Corona.

Corona's technical level was absolutely trustworthy. He had carefully inspected the entire planet and found no anomalies.

At the same time, the Saint himself had also conducted multiple checks on each of his subordinates to ensure that no one was compromised.

With no issues in the equipment and everyone having been checked, why did the Empire find them again?

Oh, that's wrong. Actually, there were two people who hadn't undergone strict checks.

One was the newcomer Kade, and the other was himself.

With this in mind, it seemed highly likely that Kade was the problem. It couldn't possibly be that he himself was the traitor, could it?

That's illogical!

Actually, the Saint had a nagging suspicion that it might indeed be himself who was the problem. Otherwise, how could his whereabouts have been leaked the first time?

But such things couldn't be admitted.

Besides, now wasn't the time to admit to such things. The Empire's second assault was undoubtedly more thoroughly prepared than the first; although he now had both Corona and Lupus on his side, who would emerge victorious was still unknown.

"Call everyone!"

At the Saint's summoning, everyone on the Artificial Planet sprang into action.

Three Super Supremes exerting their power simultaneously, an event so grand, it was akin to the Descent of the Apocalypse.

Demetri suddenly opened his eyes wide: "The Saint is indeed here, and Corona and Lupus too. Today is perfect to capture them all in one fell swoop!"

Killing Super Supremes was extremely difficult; they were all tough-skinned and had numerous life-saving methods. Yet with Chong Xiao and the Other Dimension Magic Cube to back them up, he was full of confidence.

"Activate the Other Dimension Magic Cube!"

Chong Xiao spread his right hand; the Other Dimension Magic Cube that flew out from the Space Box in the center of his palm began to rotate, emitting a soft light blue glow.

The Other Dimension Magic Cube had only one flaw: it was very time-consuming to activate.

However, this operation had been planned more than half a month in advance, making this flaw insignificant in the surprise attack.
