At that time, Bai Xi was still on her way to find her friends again when she suddenly seemed to realize something and looked up at the sky.
Ever since she returned to this era, she has had a vague feeling that she is being watched, though it is not real, but it is definitely not her imagination.
If it came from that unknown goddess of the dead....
Bai Xi lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.
It seems that she has traveled back through time and space, and perhaps what awaits her is not just Tartarus, but something else lurking in the shadows, though she has not yet caught its true form.
"Forget it, let's not go find Hruul yet, let's deal with this problem first."
Bai Xi made a decisive move to advance the task of eliminating potential hazards.
"Oh? You're already getting ready to make your move?"
Ulysses watched as Baixi turned and flew off in another direction, a hint of surprise flashing between his brows. He seemed not to have expected Baixi to be so decisive, preparing to wipe out the unknown undead based on just a guess.
"I have more important things to do. If I were to be outmaneuvered so easily, wouldn't all my previous efforts be in vain?"
Bai Xi's most steadfast goal has always been to completely eliminate Tartarus, close the endless black hole that devours everything, and prevent it from ever returning.
Although Tartarus had been weakened by her once in her time, it would soon return with an absolutely terrifying ability to devour. Even if she could successfully overcome this crisis with the help of various gods, including herself, the abyss would still strike again in the future.
And it will become even more terrifying and powerful.
Sooner or later, there will be a day when we can't deal with it. Bai Xi wants a peaceful life, instead of having to travel back and forth through time and space like she does now, just to suppress the abyss.
Although I didn't know about this terrible arrangement, there's no doubt that she was the one who dealt with the two abyss retreats, so she'll most likely still be needed to solve the problem in the future. It's definitely more convenient to choose a method that solves the problem once and for all.
While thinking this to herself, Bai Xi didn't stop moving at all.
The divine core within her body was slightly warm. This divine core had been fused with fragments of the Goddess of the Dead's soul. If actively utilized, it should have an effect similar to that of a locator.
She had never considered this possibility before. If Ulysses hadn't reminded her that there was a shadow that looked like an undead following her, Bai Xi wouldn't have remembered that the Goddess of the Dead existed.
Furthermore, even the power of the undead belongs to the continent itself and can be used to fight against the abyss.
But now that it has threatened her plans, Bai Xi is determined not to let it go. She has something to say to the Goddess of the Dead when she meets her later.
"You're more decisive than I expected."
As Ulysses spoke, there was an admiration in his eyes that he himself did not realize. He liked Bai Xi’s expression of cutting off all obstacles in his path more than any living being or god.
"If you knew what I've been through, you'd probably understand why I am the way I am."
Bai Xi shrugged. During this time, she had a little bit of interaction with Ulysses. She spoke less sarcastically and their relationship was much more peaceful than before. Bai Xi even had the mood to joke with Ulysses.
"Really? I'm really curious. Perhaps I'll have a chance to find out someday?"
Ulysses wasn't annoyed that Bai Xi was only saying half of what he wanted to say, leaving people in suspense, but continued to tease him.
"Of course, but who knows if you'll still be in the mood to find out by then."
Bai Xi sighed helplessly as she thought of the old monster in the future. It wasn't because of Ulysses, but because of her weak and cowardly attitude when she tried to blackmail the old monster. It was a dark history, after all. In fact, if Ulysses really knew about it, she would be the one who would feel embarrassed.
Suddenly, the divine essence within her body began to burn intensely, and the aura of death surrounding her nose grew stronger and stronger. Bai Xi knew that she had arrived near that guy.
This place is a dead land, without a trace of any living creature. If Bai Xi hadn't been certain that the current continental map hadn't been divided into east, west, south, and north, she would have definitely mistakenly thought she had returned to the Western Continent, that abandoned land full of the dead.
"Hide here, don't make too much of a target."
Bai Xi's gaze swept across the pitch-black area, which was almost polluted. There was no sound of wind, only the whispering conversation between the little ghost and Roy.
The withered tree stood alone in this land filled with the aura of death, disrupting Bai Xi's judgment of the location of the Goddess of the Dead.
I wasn't entirely sure at first, but with the divine essence burning to this extent, even the Goddess of the Dead would find it hard to deny.
"Huh? How did you do that? I felt it too, she was nearby."
Ulysses thought that vampires had strong reconnaissance abilities and that no one could surpass them, but he did not expect that what he could not sense, Bai Xi could sense so clearly, and even said something like 'Don't be too big a target'.
"Perhaps... a natural talent."
Bai Xi glanced back at Ulysses, smirking and mocking the vampire.
A frog at the bottom of a well.
Looking at Bai Xi's lively expression, Ulysses didn't feel angry at all; in fact, he found her smug little expression quite adorable.
"..."
The next second, Ulysses held his forehead. This was the first time in his life he had ever had such an experience, as if he had been bewitched. He actually found a woman, a goddess, adorable. And he was a genuine vampire.
It would be more accurate to say that he coveted her blood more.
Unfortunately, reality did not unfold as Ulysses had imagined. His heart, which had long since stopped beating, trembled slightly at the appearance of Bai Xi.
It won't make a big difference once or twice, but when everything accumulates to a certain point...
When Bai Xi saw Ulysses's actions, she thought he was not feeling well and was about to ask him what was wrong.
"you...."
She was speaking when a gust of wind inexplicably arose around her, followed by a bolt of black lightning that shot towards Bai Xi. The black lightning had no light; it was pure black, intense, and the decaying, rotten aura of death spread around Bai Xi.
Bai Xi frowned, and a defensive barrier rose around her. She didn't like this smell; it reminded her of her time as an undead.
Losing the senses of touch, smell, and taste is terrible.
She always used her defensive barrier with ease. Although it was a relatively low-level Moonshine-class magic, combined with her absolute strength, it was almost impossible to find any flaws and was equally difficult to break through from the outside or the inside.
Ulysses stood quietly inside Baixi's barrier, like a protected pretty boy.
"Just die!!!"
Suddenly, dozens of black lightning bolts shot out from all directions, accompanied by a shrill roar, like a vengeful spirit or a vengeful ghost.
