Bai Xi frowned at the shrill female voice, but didn't pay much attention to the sudden attack.
A water-like barrier rose up, directly isolating the unknown humanoid figure, making it easy to withstand her attack.
Through the clear water, Bai Xi finally saw the unknown being on the other side. It was a phantom that looked to be about twenty years old with gloomy eyes, in a soul form without a physical body.
To Bai Xi's surprise, the goddess of the dead she had imagined was a tall, mature woman. She hadn't expected her to be so sweet and cute. If it weren't for the terrible emotions in her eyes that made it impossible for her to feel any affection, Bai Xi might have treated her like a little sister.
"We have no grudge against each other, why do you want to kill me?"
Bai Xi asked calmly.
She had always wanted to know the Goddess of the Dead's purpose. She was clearly not seriously injured or on the verge of death, nor was she threatened by any being. So why would she make the choice to split her own soul and willingly fall into a deep sleep?
Even if one wanted to possess her body and resurrect her, there was a prerequisite.
Only someone who can't survive, or a god, would do this.
To her surprise, the woman opposite her curled her lips in a mocking smile, her eyes revealing absolute malice towards her.
"How about we switch places? You try being the dead and taste the bitterness of death and despair."
She said.
Bai Xi swallowed the words she was about to say, knowing that there was no possibility of negotiation today. The Goddess of the Dead had been a spirit since birth, and Bai Xi never thought that she would envy the living and yearn to become one.
"I'm sorry, I was indeed a ghost."
Although she was certain in her heart that it was impossible to reconcile with the Goddess of the Dead today, Bai Xi kept talking; sometimes chatting is a form of distraction.
"Oh? I don't believe you."
The Goddess of the Dead seemed somewhat surprised, but only for a moment, before revealing a disdainful expression, seemingly not believing Bai Xi's words.
"If it's true, how did you become a living being again? Don't tell me you have resurrection magic; that thing was devoured at the very beginning of the continent's creation."
Her tone was quite unfriendly, and she had already concluded that Bai Xi was lying.
"What?"
Bai Xi frowned slightly; this was yet another piece of information she didn't know.
The abyss can even devour magic, meaning that magic that is devoured is equivalent to disappearing from the world and becoming unusable.
What methods did Saphis and Grenier use to resurrect her?
Bai Xi had another question in her mind.
"Hmph, they can't even lie convincingly, it's disgusting."
Perhaps because she felt that Bai Xi was unwilling to tell even a single truth, the Goddess of the Dead's attitude towards her worsened, and her methods of attack became increasingly brutal. From the ground of this desolate land, large numbers of skeletons began to crawl out, some of which were so tall they didn't resemble human bones.
It turns out this was a burial ground, a mass grave.
The goddess of the dead is hiding here. Anyone who challenges her will be fighting on her home turf and will be at a significant disadvantage.
However, Bai Xi wasn't afraid of this; she just felt that the densely packed skulls were giving her trypophobia.
"I didn't lie, but it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, you're going to die anyway."
Bai Xi didn't bother to explain. After just a few words, she was certain that the Goddess of the Dead was a harmless and brainless goddess.
At first, she had suspected that the reflection in the mirror and the faceless angel statue might be related to her, but now it seems that she was overthinking it.
"you!"
Bai Xi's indifferent attitude directly angered the Goddess of the Dead. She tore apart the rising water curtain with her bare hands. Although she no longer has a physical body, she is still one of the original gods. She only hides and pretends not to exist because she doesn't want to care about the dead.
Even when facing Ulysses, the Goddess of the Dead would not be at a disadvantage.
Even without drawing the scales and scepter, Bai Xi's basic strength was only slightly stronger than hers.
In the blink of an eye, the phantom of the Goddess of the Dead rushed in front of Bai Xi, only a few centimeters away, but no matter how she struggled, she could not get closer because her feet were entangled by the light magic 'Photosynthesis Binding'.
Bai Xi observed the face of the Goddess of the Dead up close and genuinely found it very endearing.
If she hadn't been consumed by resentment and tried to obtain what didn't belong to her, she would have been a deity beloved by the dead.
"It seems I'll need to help."
Seeing that Bai Xi and the Goddess of the Dead were locked in a stalemate, Ulysses, who had been silent all along, raised an eyebrow slightly. Blood-red mist began to rise around the two of them, mixed with the power of water elements, and began to corrode the Goddess of the Dead's soul.
Her expression contorted at a visible speed.
It seems that the feeling of one's soul beginning to rot is indeed very torturous.
Bai Xi certainly wouldn't show off for no reason. If someone intervened, she had no reason to be aloof. She wasn't a good person either, so a two-on-one match would be much easier.
For her, not having to take out the scepter and scales saved a lot of effort.
At this moment, the Holy Sword of Light is perfectly suited to make its appearance.
As Bai Xi pondered this, she conjured a very standard knight's sword in her hand, composed of light elements, which looked quite beautiful.
The Goddess of the Dead also sensed something was wrong. She instinctively retreated, even though her ankles were still bound by magic, she was willing to sever them to escape Bai Xi's attack range.
The sword's edge flashed by.
Unfortunately, the goddess of the dead managed to escape.
Bai Xi looked regretful, not expecting her to react so quickly.
"Two against one, you're a villain."
She was furious, but when she looked at Ulysses, who had suddenly stepped in to help Baixi, a deep sense of apprehension flashed in her eyes.
"Oh, so what?"
Bai Xi asked indifferently.
Being able to find someone to help you is a skill in itself.
Ulysses looked at Bai Xi, who seemed a little smug, and a smile flashed in his eyes. So this is what it feels like to indulge someone's mischief. Very nice, very interesting.
He disliked delicate humans and had never considered finding a partner. Primordial gods were generally uninterested in romance, but if it were Bai Xi...
The thought of this possibility actually made Ulysses feel much happier, even more so than finding the finest and most delicious blood.
Bai Xi was unaware of what the vampire behind her was thinking, and was still confronting the goddess of the dead.
Who would have thought that the undead goddess, who had just been trying to dodge and escape her, would suddenly rush straight at her face? In the blink of an eye, Bai Xi couldn't sense anything was wrong with her, and therefore didn't notice the loss of light in her eyes, as if she were being manipulated.
Bai Xi felt that the fact that she had revealed such a big flaw was a good opportunity to get rid of her.
However, just as she raised the tip of her sword, preparing to face the enemy, the enemy actually crashed directly into her sword. Even an undead would have no chance of survival if pierced through the chest by the holy sword.
Bai Xi's pupils contracted sharply, reflecting the eerie smile on the lips of the goddess of the dead.
