Chapter 672 is finally over (Main text complete)
The enormous, pitch-black shadow that came towards them was terrifying, like a long worm. Although it was silent, Bai Xi vaguely thought she heard its roar.
It longs for her.
Unfortunately, Bai Xi won't give it that chance. The scales are not a weapon, but a tool for sacrifice and exchange, and this time, standing on either side of the scales will be her... and Tartarus.
Roy watched Tartarus approach and bit his lip hard. This meant that Baixi was about to sacrifice himself, and he could not accept it no matter what.
A voice inside him even suggested there could be a better way to achieve the best of both worlds.
But after receiving Bai Xi's firm gaze, Luo Yi closed his eyes and flew behind Bai Xi along with the other elemental spirits.
If he had to say goodbye no matter what, he didn't want Baixi to be sad in the end.
This was a plan that Bai Xi had been preparing for hundreds of thousands of years. If it was ruined by his selfishness, Bai Xi would definitely hate him.
It would be better to leave him with the memory forever.
Bai Xi naturally sensed Luo Yi's hesitation, and she even felt nervous. However, seeing that Luo Yi ultimately chose to cooperate with her, Bai Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now she can focus on fighting Tartarus.
She rushed directly above the giant shadow worm, looking down at this being that brought endless disaster to the continent of Coral. It had no consciousness, no thoughts, and was simply devouring the world without restraint because of hunger.
"I voluntarily accept the baptism of sacrifice, and I am willing to give all of myself to bring infinite hope to the world."
Bai Xi silently recited the command, officially activating the scales of fate.
At the same time, the voice of the goddess of death echoed in his mind once again.
"That guy's here! I'm outta here. I'll help you stop your old flames from causing trouble. They're such a pain."
As the necromancer's voice faded, it detached from her body and flew towards the Temple of Light.
Bai Xi could feel the tumor's consciousness descending into her soul. Originally, it could have hidden itself and communicated with Bai Xi only through the contract, but the Goddess of the Dead said that Bai Xi was currently in a weak state, which was perfect for possessing her.
Driven by greed, it still descended with its true form.
"Hahahaha, you still can't beat me!!! Your body is mine now!!!"
The arrogant laughter of 'World Consciousness' echoed in her mind, but Bai Xi continued chanting the incantation without changing her expression, completely ignoring him.
"Eliminate calamities, cleanse sins, relieve suffering, and take away the source."
It never expected that Bai Xi would not even want herself anymore, nor would she want to live. The special existence of the world consciousness, after being put on the scales, even gave Bai Xi more bargaining chips to fight against Tartarus.
As the last syllable of the incantation faded, in the blink of an eye, she was standing on the scales.
At this point, 'world consciousness' truly realized that something was wrong.
"Wait!!! What are you doing?!?!"
Its voice was filled with terror. The threat of death had almost robbed it of its ability to think. This parasite, which could survive as long as it found a loophole, had never imagined that it would be wiped out.
That's certainly true, provided you don't encounter Bai Xi.
Bai Xi simply ignored it and looked at the other side of the scale.
Imprisoned on the other side is Tartarus, who is marked by the spell as the source of evil.
The balance scale itself has almost no offensive power, but when the weights on both sides are equal, it can achieve absolutely amazing results.
The moment the giant shadow worm was trapped on the scales, it began to struggle violently. It didn't know what was happening, but its instincts told it that the situation was very bad and it needed to escape.
The elemental spirits were completely isolated from the outside world. This battle had come to an end, and they no longer needed to participate. They could only accompany Baixi to this point.
Roy realized this too, and he could hardly bear to watch the following scene. He turned his head away, and tears streamed down his face like broken pearls.
Bai Xi fixed her gaze, having successfully captured Tartarus and also obtained the 'world consciousness'. The mission was more than halfway complete. Now, all she had to do was disappear from this world with them.
"My demand now is...to annihilate it completely."
Bai Xi gently closed her eyes, her tone eerily calm.
In theory, one side of the scale could also make a request, but Tartarus was a mindless creature and could only obey Behe's will.
The moment the scales received her wish, the giant phantom in the sky began to tremble violently, as if it was under tremendous pressure or unable to withstand Bai Xi's difficult request. Fortunately, the elemental spirits provided enough magic power, Bai Xi herself was valuable enough, and there was also a parasitic tumor.
The weights were sufficient to support her in fulfilling this request.
The pointer on the scale swung back and forth, and after several vigorous rotations, it finally pointed to the center.
This also means that Bai Xi's value is just equal to Tartarus's, so the wish is granted, but her own value is also completely exhausted.
Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene. Thankfully, it was enough.
She even silently thanked the tumor in her heart, because it might not have been enough without it.
The scales stand still, and wishes begin to come true.
As Bai Xi watched Tartarus, who was struggling and roaring but unable to break free, begin to dissipate, its dark 'insect body' shattering into pieces and melting into the air, the heavy weight in her heart finally lifted.
Her mission was complete.
For a moment, Bai Xi's eyes were blank. She looked down at her hands and found that her body was also beginning to peel off piece by piece like torn paper, her skin cracking like porcelain. The speed was almost the same as Tartarus's, which meant that they were disappearing at the same time.
It didn't hurt, but I clearly felt myself turning into nothingness, which seemed more terrifying than death.
Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from afar. She turned her head and met a pair of blood-red eyes.
"Ulysses?"
She stared at him blankly, never expecting him to appear at this moment.
Ulysses didn't speak, but pointed to his neck. Bai Xi was startled, looked down, and saw a cross.
It's the Nightmare Crescent.
Bai Xi chuckled. Did this guy think she might become a vampire?
She raised her broken hand, picked up the Nightmare Crescent, waved it at him, and softly spoke to him.
"goodbye."
At that moment, the gods finally broke through the goddess of the dead's defenses and rushed to Bai Xi's side. When they saw Bai Xi disappearing, their eyes widened in horror, but it was too late to save her.
Bai Xi turned around. Her body was nearly half broken, and she could no longer make any more movements. She could only gently mouth the words to them.
"Thanks."
As everything came to an end, before her consciousness was swallowed by darkness, Bai Xi saw the image of Tartarus completely disappearing and heard the mournful cries in her ears.
"Spare me! Spare me! I don't want to die!"
Unfortunately, no one could save it.
Bai Xi closed her eyes with peace of mind.
