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

Watching the energy around her body run amok, like a terrifying storm of thunderclouds, Fei Ye and the strange woman had everyone on the spaceship trembling with fear.

Two superpower users, both nearing Catastrophe Level, were battling it out, and the slightest mistake could blow up the escort ship beneath them.

Not everyone could survive in a vacuum, for goodness' sake!

Fortunately, Fei Ye had realized this point early on. After completing her transformation into the void, she lifted her crimson right claw, which seemed ablaze with flames, and beckoned to the strange woman opposite her.

Swoosh—

That strange woman had no time to react before she found herself and Fei Ye suddenly teleported dozens of kilometers away into the starry sky, far from the escort ship.

Spatial ability, huh?

"It looks like I have to kill you to get rid of that annoying Star Prayer Person."

The Star Prayer People were precisely Bai Fu's current race.

The strange woman's eyes widened slightly, revealing a ferocity akin to that of a serpent demon.

She indeed resembled a beautiful snake; when her legs entwined, from afar, they looked like two pythons intimately wrapped around one another, filled with a deadly allure.

However, this tactic had no effect whatsoever on Fei Ye.

The power of the void converged around Fei Ye, and in a moment, the space around her seemed to ripple with wave after wave. The people on the spaceship could no longer see the figures of Fei Ye and the strange woman clearly; only the faint shadows of red and black, like flashing lightning, interwove ceaselessly amidst the ripples.

"A Catastrophe Domain? No, not quite, it just looks similar. But the last time Fei Ye used this trump card, her power was clearly not as strong as it is now. Could it be that she's about to ascend to Catastrophe Level?"

This remark turned the faces of all the Star Contract Supervisors present quite ugly.

If Fei Ye ascended to Catastrophe Level, then there would be no need for further competition—the position of director would undoubtedly belong to Fei Ye.

Bai Fu's ears perked up.

What, Fei Ye was about to ascend to Catastrophe Level?

She couldn't help but get excited; those were the coattails of a Catastrophe Level being, after all. The taste... Although she didn't know exactly how good it would be, it was surely much sweeter than the coattails of an S+ level!

In her excitement, Bai Fu suddenly noticed Green Mud leaning against the wall with a sullen face, his body limp as if drained of all its bones.

She approached him, asking in confusion, "Are you okay?"

Green Mud clenched his teeth. After a quick glance around, he urgently spoke into his communicator on a telepathic frequency, "Supervisor's condition is very bad now. The power she's using isn't her own. Every time she uses this power, she falls into a period of weakness, and..."

"And what?"

"The longer she stays in this state, the deeper Supervisor becomes infected by the void. Once the level of infection exceeds a certain limit, she will transform into a Void Life. There are humanoid Void Lives, and they are even more beautiful than ordinary humanoids, but the majority of Void Lives are mad, ugly, twisted beings. Apart from the Supernova Battle Group, which has a deep understanding of the void, no one can guarantee what they'll turn into once infected by the void."

Bai Fu was stunned.

Could such a thing really happen?

She was deeply touched, considering that Fei Ye had become voidified to save her.

She had to do something. If Fei Ye truly became voidified, she would no longer have those coattails to cling to, and as Green Mud had said, most Void Lives were crazed and twisted—what if a twisted Fei Ye and that strange woman teamed up to double-team her? She wouldn't survive.

The onslaught of one was already too much for her to bear; facing both, she'd be shattered in an instant.

Bai Fu quickly considered her options.

"With the flight ability of my Spiritual Ability Construction, I can manage in the starry sky for the time being, but it's pointless. With my power, rushing up there would at best make me a meat shield for Fei Ye, blocking a hit or two. Once my Spiritual Ability Construction breaks, that woman could kill me in a few moves, so I can't just rush in recklessly."

Since she couldn't go in as a tank, her only option was to play a support role.

No problem, Spiritual Ability Prayer Masters were more about support in the early to mid-phases anyway. It was rare for someone like her to forgo a perfectly good support position to pretend to be a Mage.

After all, not everyone could exchange popularity and plot Exploration Degree for various enhancements like she could, and even fewer could suck the Experience out of players to improve their own power like she did.

Speaking of players, Bai Fu suddenly had an inspiration.

Players were weak; the strange woman could easily kill hundreds of them with a flick of her toe, but players could resurrect. They were not afraid of death, which meant that unless it was an extremely dire situation, they could always be useful.

Like now.

Asking others to pilot the fighter craft to aid Fei Ye would see few volunteers since it was too high a risk—almost certain death. However, if the players were asked, they wouldn't shrink away. Instead, they'd be grateful for the chance to witness a fight between nearly Catastrophe Level NPCs up close.

As a player, wasn't one of their favorite activities spectating?

Perfect, it was decided then!

Bai Fu immediately found the captain of the escort ship and had him hand over control of all the fighter craft to her.

Ever since the Brain Worm had stormed in, the captain had been in a state of panic. With Bai Fu willing to step up and do something, he wouldn't refuse her offer and quickly agreed.
