Chapter 167: I’ll Handle Being Electrocuted
Hearing Xie Bai’s voice, the Two Little Ones were startled and whipped their heads around.
“Um... Sister Xiaobai, you’re awake...”
“We... we were just looking at you, Sister Xiaobai...”
Xie Bai was confused by their response.
“Me?”
As she spoke, she sat down beside them and turned her gaze toward the floating forum screen between them.
“Wait...”
Xie Bai froze for a moment.
“Isn’t this the scene from when I was in the Heavenly Domain?”
When did this game forum... record her?
“If that’s the case, then before...”
Thinking of this, Xie Bai quickly dragged the progress bar back.
Sure enough.
The moment Sacred Light appeared on the screen, another figure appeared alongside him.
It was herself.
“Honestly, I’m a little annoyed.”
As the version of her in the video finished that sentence, the blade of Funeral Rites was already greeting Sacred Light’s face.
In the next instant, crimson numbers exploded off Sacred Light’s body.
-36.52 Quadrillion
-13.16 Quadrillion
-49.68 Quadrillion
Instantly, the screen was flooded with bullet chat comments exploding alongside the damage numbers.
【It’s back, it’s all back! This is the flavor I crave!】
【That look in her eyes, that tone! Someone clip this right now, I need to watch it on loop!】
【I almost burst out laughing the moment Bai showed up.】
【Such a sense of security! Salute to the legendary carry—Good ol’ Bai!】
【Want to see my girl Bai’s big numbers? Here you go!】
【Last time I checked, it was in the hundreds of billions, right? This time it jumped straight to quadrillions?】
【Quadrillion... what a niche unit. In previous games of this series, the biggest number I ever saw was a trillion, tops.】
【I don’t care what the unit is, tell it to my giant scythe!】
【People this cute always fight the hardest. Her basic attacks are more than a Nuclear Explosion Mage deals in a lifetime.】
【I suspect you’re throwing shade at us Nuclear Explosion Mages.】
【It’s so high up there, what if her feet catch a cold from the wind? Quick, put them in my arms to warm them up!】
【Just in your arms?】
【Wait, what are you thinking? You’re acting sus.】
【Sad. Seeing you people makes me wish I’d just picked Thunder Mage for my class advancement.】
The bullet chat hadn't even finished discussing Xie Bai’s entrance when, in the next second, the light on Sacred Light’s body suddenly flared up again.
【Wait, there’s more?】
【This thing has a Phase 2?!】
Once the light faded, new boss information appeared in the video.
【Sacred Light - Gliese Lv.245】
【HP: 13,000 Quadrillion / 13,000 Quadrillion】
Seeing the information hovering over Sacred Light, the bullet chat went into overdrive again.
【How... how much?!】
【Thirteen thousand quadrillion? Is that even legal?!】
【Are the late-game bosses in this game really this insane?】
【When they designed this boss, did they actually consider us players at all?】
【Quiet, watch Sister Bai work.】
【Thirteen thousand quadrillion... can Xiao Baibai really one-shot that?】
【Don’t make Sister Bai laugh. If she doesn’t kill him in three hits, I’ll delete my Closed Beta account immediately.】
【I lied to you. Actually, she doesn’t even need one hit.】
【Why are you all discussing whether she can one-shot him instead of whether she can win?】
As a massive wave of comments swept across the screen, the camera in the video suddenly pulled back.
Xie Bai and Sacred Light appeared to be discussing something.
In the next second, Xie Bai pulled out a golden book.
The moment he saw that book, Sacred Light visibly panicked.
Before he could make a move, Xie Bai simply raised her hand and pointed at him.
To everyone’s surprise, a massive amount of light gathered in Xie Bai’s hand, as if all the light in the world had been seized in her palm.
【Could it be...?】
【Wait, you’re not telling me Xiao Baibai... wants to defeat Sacred Light using light?】
【Wait, does that even make sense?】
Clearly, it defied all logic.
But Xie Bai didn’t care.
In the next instant, the light condensed to its limit and abruptly exploded from her hand.
That radiance far surpassed any attack Sacred Light had used previously, completely drowning him.
When the light finally dissipated, Sacred Light was nowhere to be found.
The battle ended in a total landslide.
【Hiss... wasn’t this boss’s name Sacred Light?】
【He actually got killed by light?!】
【When it comes to total domination, you’ve gotta look to Sister Bai. Not only does she one-shot you, she does it using your own element.】
【It’s one thing for Good ol’ Bai to be this strong, but she’s so cute too. Haji-Bai, you’re invincible!】
【If I could meet Xiao Baibai just once, I’d even be willing to enter the Wheel of Fate.】
【She even looted the place afterward.】
【Then what about someone like me who just thirsts for the little loli inside?】
【Wait for me to change classes to a Thunder Mage first.】
【No need to wait, I’m an Alchemist and I’ve already hand-crafted an alchemy generator!】
【Nice, boss! I’ll handle the wiring.】
【I’ll handle the switch.】
【I’ll handle being electrocuted.】
【???】
After Sacred Light’s death in the video, the scene jumped to Xie Bai restructuring the Heavenly Domain.
Watching everything that had happened and reading the discussion about her in the comments, Xie Bai felt a bit strange.
“So everything that happened before... has already been turned into an official promotional video?”
At the thought, her fingers tightened slightly.
Xie Bai didn’t necessarily dislike the game officials doing this.
It was just... a very sudden feeling.
Xie Bai’s gaze swept over the video once more.
Most of the bullet chat discussed her display of power, but there were also many comments praising her cuteness.
Whenever she saw those comments, an indescribable emotion welled up inside her.
Most of the people around her didn't dare to comment directly on her appearance, as if it were some sort of taboo.
Thinking back, the last time she had heard someone call her cute so directly was when she had approached Maomao, and the other girl had let it slip.
The feeling of being praised so sincerely by someone... was actually quite nice.
“Sister Xiaobai?”
Gamie’s voice suddenly chirped from beside her.
“Wah!”
Xie Bai jumped in surprise.
Seeing Xie Bai’s startled expression, Little Gamie asked with some confusion.
“Um... Sister Xiaobai, are you okay?”
Snapping back to reality, Xie Bai looked at the Two Little Ones and clutched her chest, her heart fluttering.
“Phew... it’s nothing. I was just thinking about some things and got a bit distracted.”
As she spoke, she moved her gaze back to the forum screen.
A game announcement at the end of the video caught her eye.
“Version update?”
Xie Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly as she read the notice.
“A new playable race... the Void Angel Race?”
Seeing the “Void Angel Race” become a new playable option made Xie Bai feel a bit conflicted.
Especially considering she possessed the Poem of the Void.
“If that’s the case... then won’t a large portion of the new Open Beta players effectively become my kin?”
At the thought that this new race would likely be highly sought after by players, Xie Bai felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.
