The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Fireworks shoved the gift box directly into Bai Zhi's hand.

"What is this thing? Could a clown or some other scary thing pop out of it?"

Bai Zhi suspiciously weighed the gift box in her hand, and felt that it was quite heavy.

"Do you want it or not? If not, you can throw it away."

Hanabi pouted unhappily and said.

"Well……"

Bai Zhi pondered for a moment, then laughed, "Since it's a gift from my dear wife Hua Huo, of course I choose to believe it."

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she opened the gift box, revealing the contents inside.

To Bai Zhi's surprise, it wasn't some strange and scary magic box inside, but a lifelike dragon-shaped cake.

"Wow, you actually dared to open it, you've got some nerve. Let me tell you, I've put tons of chili in this cake. If you take one bite, you'll turn into a fire-breathing dragon."

"Really?"

"Really, Lady Hanabi wouldn't lie. Considering you trust me, let's just say it's a friendly reminder: it's not too late to throw this cake away now."

Chapter 856 Outer God

"Since you've already said so, Fireworks..."

As Bai Zhi spoke, she picked up the gift box and stood up.

Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Hanabi's eyes.

"Hmm, my dear Fireworks wife, do you think I would throw it away?"

"In this day and age, arrogance has become obsolete."

Bai Zhi stood up, reached out, picked up a fork from the table, inserted it into the cake, cut out a small piece, and then put it in her mouth.

Contrary to what Hanabi described, this cake didn't have a lot of chili peppers in it. On the contrary, it had a refreshing sweetness and a very smooth texture, making it surprisingly delicious.

"Well, great!"

Bai Zhi gave a thumbs up, "As expected of my wife, Hua Huo."

"You rascal, don't think I made this for you on special occasion. I just wanted to see you fall for it."

Hanabi seemed to leave in a huff.

"Miss Fireworks and Immortal Baizhi... they look so interesting. Senior, do you like cake? I can make some for you."

Mashu watched this scene with a hint of envy in her eyes, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

However, it's clear that Fujimaru Ritsuka's focus is misplaced.

"Mashu, did you hear that? Immortal Baizhi called Miss Hanabi 'wife'! You must stay away from Immortal Baizhi from now on!"

Mashu: ...

"I understand, senior. I will be careful, but please be careful too."

"I'm just an ordinary person. To a sage, I wouldn't even look at someone like Mashu, who's a cute child and a Demi-Servant. She'd definitely be more popular."

Mashu sighed. Her senior could be incredibly emotionally intelligent at times, but at other times she was as dull as a rock, just like now, completely unaware of her own charm.

"Oh dear, everyone, Miss Fireworks' exclusive gift has already been revealed by Lady Baizhi. The rest is up to me."

As Tamamo-no-Mae spoke, she lifted the lid of the plate, revealing some desserts and a fruit platter inside.

"After a lot of work, it's good for the body to consume some sugar. Considering the Great Sage's eating habits, I've also specially added some fruit platters. I hope everyone will like them."

"You vixen, you're quite something!"

The monkey was generous with its praise.

There's a saying that goes, "There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names," and the nickname "Wife Fox" is indeed correct.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, a Cloud Rider came to report.

"Lady Baizhi, we have arrived at the target location, but there is a thick fog over there that completely obscures the sensors on our ship, and we cannot detect any internal information."

"The warship's sensors can't detect any information?"

Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised. Although the warships here were summoned based on her Servant characteristics and were not real warships, many of their advanced features should have been inherited.

The fact that this spaceship couldn't detect anything inside a thick fog suggests that there must be something formidable inside.

"Yes, but we could try using orbital bombardment to plow that area up. Do you think we need authorization?"

"Hmm... not for now. Let's go down and check things out first."

Bai Zhi frowned, but decided against indiscriminate bombing. If there were many innocent people in the thick fog, using orbital bombing could easily affect them.

"Yes!"

Yunqi saluted and returned to his post.

"Everyone, let's go down and take a look."

Bai Zhi looked at the group of people.

"Hehe, I can sense it. There's probably something powerful here."

The monkey pulled the golden cudgel out of its ear and shrunk back to its normal size.

The spaceship hatch opened, and Bai Zhi looked at the thick fog from the air, frowning. She sensed an ominous aura emanating from the fog; these things were probably not easy to deal with.

Trying to slowly fly into the thick fog, Bai Zhi immediately felt as if something was whispering in her ear.

These murmurs contained no information; instead, they sounded like meaningless whispers that subconsciously made people feel uncomfortable.

“Heretical and evil spirit, Xiao Bai, be careful. This evil spirit is probably trying to attack people’s minds.”

The monkey solemnly surveyed its surroundings.

"Yes, I'm fine."

Bai Zhi nodded slightly, then looked around and saw many people swaying and staggering, their eyes lifeless, muttering to themselves. But when she leaned closer to listen, she found that she couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

It's like something haphazardly pieced together from fragmented words, giving off a strange feeling of mental pollution.

"If you feel unwell, tell me and I will clear up any adverse reactions for you."

Bai Zhi looked at Hanabi, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Tamamo-no-Mae, and gave them instructions.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sound like something breaking was heard, and a thick tentacle exploded from the mouth of the person who was constantly muttering, heading straight for Bai Zhi.

"Hmph, monster, take this!"

The monkey stretched out its stick and waved it gently, sending the tentacle and the man flying together.

"Migu, what a disgusting thing! This priestess hates this kind of thing the most."

Tamamo-no-Mae quickly jumped away to avoid being affected by the explosive body of the golden cudgel.

"Tentacles...and this kind of delirious talk..."

Bai Zhi was somewhat solemn. She remembered that if there was a being with such characteristics in FGO, perhaps only... Abigail.

Abigail was a key figure in the famous Salem witch trials. Her and her cousin's initial series of abnormal behaviors were attributed to witchcraft, which eventually escalated into a large-scale witch trial.

In FGO, Abigail became the vessel of an Outer God due to her unique constitution.

Abigail is not a very powerful being, but in addition to herself, there are certain Outer Gods of the Kreece that Abigail can guide.

She remembered that Abigail represented Yggdrasil, the key to the gate, the unifier of all things, and also one of the Outer Gods.

That's not something easy to deal with, because in the lore, this thing exists outside the multidimensional universe and possesses infinite intelligence.

In a sense, this person is also very generous; almost in exchange for the prayer, they are willing to give you a wealth of knowledge.

Unfortunately, most of this knowledge consists of things that are difficult to describe, which is equivalent to forcibly stuffing countless pieces of junk information into the minds of ordinary people.

The end result is that he becomes an idiot.

"Let's go. Hopefully, the child isn't fully developed yet."

If it really is Abigail, then Bai Zhi hopes that the other party has not yet reached the third stage of Spirit Origin.

If Abigail in her first stage was just a pitiful little girl with some Outer God power, then Abigail in her third stage was more corrupted and became a bad child.

Bai Zhi wasn't sure if she could suppress Abigail, who was in stage three, down to stage one.

After walking for a while, a emaciated man came running out, yelling, "Haha, I did it! I did it!!"

Bai Zhi frowned, but before she could speak, the man glared at her with eyes that were practically bulging out. "Ah, who do I see? Isn't this the Evil Goddess Bai Zhi? Have you come to admire the power of our great deity?"

"This guy is completely insane!"

Tamamo-no-Mae said, "If an ordinary person saw Bai Zhi, this immortal, appear in front of them, how could they speak like this? They would be too scared to even speak."

"The power of your gods?"

Bai Zhi didn't mind that this guy called her an evil god, but instead asked a question.

"Haha, you don't understand, you'll never understand. Our God is all-knowing and all-powerful. He is incredibly generous. As long as we pray to Him, we can gain infinite knowledge. Hahahaha."

“My partner and I summoned Him. He can give us the knowledge we’ve always dreamed of. We will surpass the gods and master our own destiny. This knowledge is here…”

The emaciated man suddenly clutched his head and dug his eye sockets with his hand.

"There's valuable knowledge inside, hehe, I found it, I found it..."

After digging for a few minutes, a clump of gray substance fell from his eye socket, emitting a putrid smell, and his body came to a complete stop, then collapsed to the ground.

Bai Zhi shook her head. What an unlucky fellow.

From the few words this guy just spoke, it's clear that this unfortunate fellow and his companions summoned Abigail together, and then he became lost in the allure of the power from the Outer God.

Chapter 857 Tamamo-no-Mae: What did you say that bracelet was?

"Let's move on."

Seeing that the man was dead, Bai Zhi stood up, but suddenly felt the ground shake.

A huge mouth emerged from the ground behind Bai Zhi and swallowed the unsuspecting Fujimaru Ritsuka in one gulp with lightning speed before retreating back underground.

"senior!!"

Mashu stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

She hurriedly took out her shield and banged it on the ground, trying to dig out the monster that had retreated into the ground.

But how powerful is her shield? In the face of this, it's basically a drop in the ocean.

"Don't panic, monkey, Fujimaru isn't dead, is she?"

Bai Zhi looked at the monkey. As the Master who had signed a contract with the monkey, if Fujimaru Ritsuka was really killed in the attack just now, and the contract was broken, the monkey would definitely sense it.

"Don't worry, the little one should be fine; at least he's not dead yet."

"Great Sage, can you find that thing and save our senior?"

Mashu looked at the monkey expectantly. This was the legendary Monkey King! He should be able to catch that little monster easily.

The monkey hoisted the golden cudgel onto his shoulder. "Of course I can. I can sense the little kid's vague location. All I need to do is activate this treasure once and smash the ground."

"That Great Sage..."

"But I won't drive it."

"Eh?"

Mashu paused, then asked, "Why?"

“Normally, I don’t use much force, and that little girl can maintain my energy levels in this world. But if I were to unleash this golden cudgel, that little girl wouldn’t just be killed by that thing; she would die from overexertion before that even happens.”

He is a mythical servant of exceptionally high caliber, and the magical power required to unleash his full combat potential is terrifying. This daily state is already considered to be one where he is suppressing his abilities.

Otherwise, Fujimaru Ritsuka would be drained dry by his energy in no time.

"Let me do it. Monkey can just point out Fujimaru's location to me."

Bai Zhi took off the diamond bracelet from her wrist and said.

She has many ways to deal with these burrowing creatures, including but not limited to transforming into a dragon, using a dragon talisman to explode them, or the method she has chosen now: using the Vajra Bracelet's ability to absorb all things.
