Did he find sothing out?
Bai Fu rembered that last ti Detri contacted her, it was to ask her for help in finding out who stole the Empire's Holy Relic.
Now there's still a related task called [Shadow of the Empire] in her task list that hasn't been completed.
"Any new discoveries about the Holy Relic?"
In the secret room with only the two of them present, Bai Fu took the lead in asking.
Detri nodded.
"Is the identity of the thief shocking?"
"Yes."
"You're not going to tell it was Emperor Odoacer who stole it, are you?"
"Yes, but that's not the whole story."
Bai Fu was a bit confused: "There's an accomplice?"
"Yes, and the identity of that accomplice is astonishing. Honestly, until I saw you, I was hesitating whether to tell you the truth." Detri shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Hmm?"
"Because that person is Emperor Ignatius."
"Huh?" Bai Fu looked completely puzzled, "The Empire's Emperor Ignatius? He's not dead? Beca a Seeker?"
Detri: "Not just a Seeker, he's now the leader of the Origins Agreent."
"!"
The room fell into a dead silence.
Bai Fu remained silent for a long ti. She knew Detri wasn't lying because she had just received a ga notification saying that the [Shadow of the Empire] task had been completed, granting her a special reward, [Holy Light].
Holy Light is a super rare item that can forcibly elevate the power of a Dominator to Super Supre.
Bai Fu intended to use it for her Divine Envoy, raising the last one to a Super Supre Rank.
But now, that's not the main point.
The point is that the leader of the Origins Agreent turned out to be the Empire's Emperor Ignatius!
"You actually told this secret?"
Bai Fu found it unbelievable. Detri was a loyal Imperial, and at this crucial mont when she and the Origins Agreent had completely fallen out, revealing this secret would surely deliver a heavy blow to the Empire.
Was it that he no longer loved the Empire?
Or perhaps, was it a conspiracy?
Detri: "A day ago, I t with the projection of Emperor Ignatius. He asked to help him deal with you."
While speaking, he extended his right hand, and in the palm was a teardrop-shaped white crystal.
"This is what he gave . It's said to be a gene locator device. Once inserted into your body, you will never be able to hide again."
Bai Fu cast an Apostle Spirit Vision at it.
Indeed.
Detri wasn't lying; this item called [Cosmic Tear] was indeed a gene locator device.
Detri handed the Cosmic Tear directly to Bai Fu. His sincerity was full to the brim.
Then, he began to explain why he did this.
In fact, it wasn't that complicated; after an intense inner struggle, he finally saw his true heart.
Of course, it sounded simple, but making the actual decision was quite tornting.
Even when talking with Ignatius, he had resolved not to betray Bai Fu, but once he boarded the spaceship to the Ancestral Origin Star, Detri wavered.
Was he really going to betray both Emperor Ignatius and Emperor Odoacer?
Detri felt he was walking across a field of flas, being burned no matter where he stepped.
However...
When he finally saw Bai Fu;
When he finally rembered all Bai Fu had done for the Rebirth Empire;
The most significant point was that he rembered the path he once treaded.
He thought of what he saw and heard on his first day at school, the education he received, the past combat experiences alongside his comrades, the anticipative gazes his comrades cast at him, and so much more.
These mories pushed him to a more profound self-examination.
At that mont, he realized that from the very beginning, he believed in the will of the Empire, nurtured over 30,000 years, which persists to reignite even if it turns to ashes.
In the past, Emperor Ignatius was the embodint of this will.
But now, he saw that Emperor Ignatius had lost this will.
As for Odoacer... did that guy ever have it?
"So, your choice to tell the truth is because..."
"Exactly, even though you are not an Imperial, I feel that you embody the Imperial will more than Ignatius or Odoacer. Ignatius claims he wants civilization to last forever, but I don't believe an Empire that has lost the will of the ashes is truly the Empire; it's just an empty shell, not the Empire I want to protect. You might find my thoughts extre, but this belief is my real self."
"But you don't know well either, right? Aren't you afraid I might insist on becoming a god, finally bringing the Descent of the Harvester?"
"I plan to take a gamble that you won't do so, and instead will try everything to solve the threat of the Harvester at its roots."
A smile appeared on Detri's face, now void of any anxiety and panic.
After having spoken his mind, he had nothing else to be conflicted about.
Bai Fu looked at Detri for a while, then smiled too: "I do want to solve this problem, but I also can't think of a solution now. If there's a direction, my current goal is to get the program the creators of the Origins Agreent found in the Void, a program that might help us understand the Harvester chanism's truth."
Detri had a sudden realization: "I could infiltrate the Origins Agreent and retrieve..."
Bai Fu cut him off: "There's no need for that. I will personally obtain that program. Even if you got it, there's no way you'd get past the Child of Prophecy, Destiny Weaver, and Ignatius to hand it to ."
Indeed.
Detri did not insist further.
It's hard to say whether Bai Fu would even co out of the Origins Agreent alive, it would just be sending him to die if he went.
"The urgent priority now is to show the Origins Agreent a lesson, we can also make use of this gene locator device."
Bai Fu squinted slightly, already with a plan forming in mind.
...
One day later.
Ancestral Origin Star.
Bai Fu returned as expected, but this ti she ca back alone.
Soon after her return, the Origins Agreent launched a second wave of attacks, several tis stronger than before.
In an instant, all the outer space structures around the Ancestral Origin Star were destroyed.
At this, Lupus volunteered to face the enemy.
"No rush, it's not ti for you to appear yet. You all hide here first, I'll go and et the enemy. If the Origins Agreent falls for it, then you make your appearance."
Bai Fu very politely escorted Lupus and those Rebirth Empire officers connected to him to an observation platform.
Lupus chuckled inwardly.
This was even better.
When Bai Fu gets bogged down by the Origins Agreent, he can approach under the guise of aiding her and launch a surprise attack.
Becoming Star Sea Supre depends on this one shot!
Lupus was full of anticipation.
On the other side, the mbers of the Origins Agreent were full of anticipation too.
"Bai Fu, the trap is set, let's see how you escape this ti!"
Seeing Bai Fu flying out, Ignatius imdiately issued the command to attack.
Lupus, you all should not stay idle, go ahead with your plan!
Lupus was eager to move.
He was just about to fly out of the observation platform, when he was stunned to find a gigantic "Yellow ridian Instrunt" appearing around the platform.
This is...
"Destiny Heavenly Sphere?"
Lupus was shocked beyond words.
Who placed the Destiny Heavenly Sphere, and why didn't he notice it before... and now it makes sense, it's Bai Fu!
The reason it wasn't noticed earlier is that this Destiny Heavenly Sphere was pre-set, and who else besides Bai Fu could have set it?
Holy crap, where did Bai Fu get a Destiny Heavenly Sphere, and how did she figure out he was a problem?
Lupus was anxious.
"Bai Fu, you despicable person, let out!"
Within the sphere, the Rebirth Empire legionnaires who noticed sothing wrong also started shouting.
Is this reasonable?
Was the plot supposed to develop like this?
Wasn't the plot supposed to be them launching a sneak attack and catching Bai Fu off guard?
"Dog barking."
Countless shadows surged out from the Destiny Heavenly Sphere, entangling with Lupus and his group, along with the Void Force Field and Void Spirit·Divine King.
"Kill, leave none behind!"
Ordered Bai Fu, while her own gaze coldly locked onto the approaching mbers of the Origins Agreent.
Since she now knew the biggest secret of the Origins Agreent leader, she had no reason to hide her true power any longer.
Let the killing begin.
Let the blood flow like rivers!
