CHAPTER 686: THE DEMISE OF THE CATASTROPHE ARMY, THE TRUE CATASTROPHE BAI FU [5.4K]_2

The super civilizations of the Edge World, large Mercenary Groups, competitors from the Origin Consortium, and so on, were all paying attention.

Catastrophe Level entities in the Edge World were the kind that could leap off the chessboard; if Bai Fu managed to destroy the Catastrophe Army in this battle, then everyone’s attitude towards Bai Fu would have to change.

"This one is gifted. Her past deeds might be unclear, but one thing is certain—she has absolutely no connection with those people. If she manages to win this battle, we might consider extending her an olive branch."

Within the territory of the Tem Civilization, a man with a conspicuous scar above his eyes propped his chin with both hands, his gaze fixed unblinkingly on Bai Fu’s introduction video.

He wasn’t particularly good-looking, but his name was known in every household in the Tem Civilization—he was Nellis, one of the candidates for the next leader of the Tem civilization.

...

"The people of the Catastrophe Army couldn’t possibly be thinking of hiding like rats until the end, could they?"

It had been four days since Bai Fu had reached the active area of the Catastrophe Army.

Over these four days, based on intelligence from the Origin Consortium, she had visited every possible hiding place of the Catastrophe Army but hadn’t found so much as a single hair.

The development of events left many observers speechless.

Wasn’t the Catastrophe Army supposed to consist of madmen?

Now Bai Fu had killed your people and even paraded in your lair with pomp and pride; how could you all hide? You’re not thinking of swapping homes with Bai Fu, are you? Even if you relinquish Ulysses Star, your reputation would be utterly lost.

"That’s too much; I can’t believe I prepared for so long for this."

Bai Fu spread her hands in resignation.

On her way over, she deliberately spent over a billion experience points gambling for cards, not only upgrading all of her Prayer Cards by one tier but also combining three new ones.

They were the Summoning Card [Dark Demon Eagle] capable of summoning a beast-shaped True Spirit skilled in long-distance "Magic Attack," the Control Card [Dark Mystery] that could confuse opponents’ perception, and the Damage Card [Annihilation Torrent], which was an advanced version of Spiritual Explosion.

This round of card gambling didn’t improve her survivability much, but it did greatly increase her offensive power.

After upgrading the Prayer Cards, Bai Fu invested experience to level the Apostle profession to Level 30 and smoothly unlocked a new bonus available after reaching a Total Level of 140 in her main profession—

[Catastrophe Level Exclusive Attribute Correction]

This correction was a special boost for the lowest attribute.

From the NPCs’ point of view, reaching a certain stage at Catastrophe Level meant that the body would become more perfect, automatically correcting some deficiencies from before.

For Bai Fu, the biggest deficiency among her six attributes was her too low Power.

Without any additional bonuses, her base Power was only 383 points, and even with all the bonuses and wearing her Combat Suit, she could barely stack it up to 801 points.

This number, compared to Fei Ye and Cecilia, was truly weak.

Without activating any additional skill boosts, Fei Ye and Cecilia’s base Power was over 1500.

compared to 801 wasn’t just double; it was a drastic difference. Lucky for her, being a technique and equipment-focused player, otherwise she would have been utterly defeated in spars with Fei Ye and Cecilia.

After the Power correction, Bai Fu’s base Power shot up to 670 points.

Her attributes were as follows—

[Power 670, Agility 867, Constitution 1080, Intelligence 690, Spirit 894, Inspiration 3094]

This boost was significant!

With all skills activated, her Spiritual Energy could soar to 4355, a 10% improvement from her previous encounter with Bloodthorn. That was the source of Bai Fu’s confidence.

But, Bloodthorn wasn’t coming out.

"Let’s wait a bit longer."

Bai Fu waited another two days, and after those two days, the good news finally arrived.

[Legion Commander Bloodthorn of the Catastrophe Army has issued a challenge, calling for a decisive battle tomorrow]

Wow.

Bai Fu glanced at the Map sent by Andras.

"Looking at the setup, the Catastrophe Army must have made quite a few arrangements at their declared decisive battle location."

Andras said, "The Catastrophe Army has a Catastrophe Level Mechanic; my guess is they’ve spent these days buying time for that Mechanic to set up the mechanical legions."

Bai Fu nodded.

Bloodthorn had learned from his mistake and wanted to use the mechanical legions against her Spiritual Ability Army so he could avoid tangling with the Spiritual Ability Army and go straight for her.

The thought was good, but Bloodthorn overlooked something.

"I’m not fragile, and my close-combat power is far stronger than my Spiritual Ability Army."

It turned out Bloodthorn showed a flaw.

Typically, a Mechanic’s body is even more vulnerable than that of a Spiritual Ability Prayer Master, but Mechanics like to hide inside mobile fortresses or Mechas.

Huh, fortunately, handling those iron boxes is Cecilia’s forte!

Drain their energy, and that’s the end of it!

"Playing a Beheading Action against me, huh? Then let’s compare and see who beheads whom!"

Bai Fu changed the direction of her fleet and flew towards the location of the Catastrophe Army.

This news quickly came to the attention of everyone following the incident.

Here it comes, the long-awaited decisive battle is finally about to happen!

Live broadcasts, commentator discussions, battlefield simulations... all were set in motion!

All major news media of the Edge World acted as if it were a year-end celebration, spontaneously cooking up the heat of the event to common knowledge.

Some astute media outlets specifically invited fans of Bai Fu and Bloodthorn to be commentators, displayed the support rate for both sides at the bottom of the live stream, and showed the heart rates of supporters of both parties at the top of the live stream.

Truly making the PK an experience from offline to online.
