"The Fate Walker?" The officials of the United Government were puzzled, then looked at Bai Zhi expectantly.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you this important information?" Bai Zhi blinked.
The coalition government officials immediately nodded frantically.
Bai Zhi scratched her head. "The Fate Walker, you can think of it as a class in a game, you know?"
"Games? We understand, but how do we acquire this profession? Do we need to find an apprentice in a certain place?"
Those with quick minds immediately asked.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi thought about it seriously for a moment and said:
"Becoming an apprentice is not out of the question... because in places with a strong related atmosphere, it is easier for people to embark on the path of destiny. For example, on the immortal ship I am on, it is relatively easy to embark on the path of hunting. This is mainly because of the influence from childhood, which makes it easy to do things that correspond to the path of destiny, and then gain power on the path of destiny to become a path of destiny walker."
"These Fate Walkers possess magical powers, allowing them to wield various elemental forces to enhance their combat abilities."
"That's right, that's why we city builders want to build a base and a monument here, to attract more people to join us. Of course, we will also build some defensive facilities for this planet."
Danny nodded in a friendly manner.
Just as Danny nodded in a friendly manner, Bai Zhi noticed her phone vibrating again.
This time, however, she didn't let Danheng see it; instead, she picked up her phone herself.
In the Starry Sky Train family's group chat, Himeko's message had already been sent.
Ji Zi: "Bai Zhi, Dan Heng, San Yue, and Xing, we have spotted the Antimatter Legion's troop transport ships in orbit around this planet. They are attempting to attack this planet. Please be careful."
Walter: "The Antimatter Legion is also attacking the train. We can't take care of you right now. If you encounter any danger, remember that survival is the most important thing!"
Danheng: "I will protect them. You just focus on fighting the enemy."
Bai Zhi: "Pam in shock.jpg"

23. The Antimatter Legion's Orbital Strike
A crack suddenly appeared in the sky, as if space and time had been torn apart.
From the crack, a massive spaceship slowly descended. Its shape resembled a giant spider, with eight long tentacles swaying in the air, radiating a cold, metallic sheen. A huge, circular hatch on the ship's belly opened and closed repeatedly; each time it opened, countless black objects flew out and swooped down towards the ground.
Bai Zhi recognized them; these things were monsters from the antimatter legion, manifestations of the will to destroy, and they were highly aggressive.
These monsters come in all shapes and sizes; some resemble bats, some octopuses, some centipedes, and some don't even have a fixed form, just a mass of black liquid. Their sole purpose is to annihilate all life.
A tremendous roar came from the sky. Bai Zhi looked toward the source of the sound and saw many eyeball-like objects bursting out of the clouds. These eyeballs were covered with various instruments and weapons, radiating a cold metallic luster.
"It's the Antimatter Legion's detectors and ships! We'd better hide." Dan Heng said calmly, as he drew his spear and pierced the Legion monster that landed in front of him.
"These persistent bastards, I should have brought a warship!"
Faced with these guys, the city builders also fled in panic. Although there were some Destiny Walkers among them, they were simply unable to stop the tide of antimatter legions.
Relying on the fortified underground city to defend itself is a better approach.
"No, we can't run! There are still so many people here!" March 7 shouted, drawing his bow with both hands, gathering ice on it, and then shooting it out, freezing a legion monster that was trying to harm people.
"March, don't be reckless. You can't handle so many enemies by yourself. What we need to do now is retreat, or we'll all perish here."
Dan Heng said with a helpless expression that he could understand March's feelings. After all, so many people were in danger, and given March's personality, he would not be able to sit idly by.
But reason also told him that this was not something they could handle alone, unless he unleashed all his power here.
"No, I'm not alone, I have you all!"
March 7 said with a smile.
Her voice was full of confidence and courage; she believed that she and her companions could overcome any difficulty.
"Sister March 7th, you know what? Sometimes, you really do feel like the main character, but I like it!"
Bai Zhi followed, gathering a blazing flame in her hands before unleashing it, striking an antimatter legion monster.
The antimatter legion monsters did not suffer much direct damage upon being hit.
But then, the monster's body turned a strange red, its shell began to melt, and explosions like firecrackers spread throughout its body.
"Hmm... more powerful than I imagined, Dragon Talisman."
Seeing the condition of the monster, Bai Zhi's eyes lit up.
Because the description of the Dragon Talisman's effects was so unremarkable, she thought it was just an extra bonus.
Dragon Talisman LV2: Enables the host to wield the power of fire. When attacking an enemy with the Dragon Talisman, the enemy will be burned. Additionally, the talisman can grant a unit of a certain strength unlimited energy for a limited time. When this unit attacks other targets, it will also inflict a burning effect.
"Sister March 7th, get ready, my power is about to enter your body!"
"Huh?" March 7th asked, puzzled as he drew his bow.
But she immediately felt a scorching power erupt from Bai Zhi's body.
Dan Heng narrowed his eyes, watching the dragon head phantom appear above Bai Zhi's head when the dragon talisman unleashed its power. Within this dragon head phantom, red eyes flashed continuously, filled with a terrifying savagery.
He was really curious about who Bai Zhi was before she was reincarnated.
Could it be a Dragon Lord from another immortal ship?
But then again, that doesn't make sense, since the Dragon Lords of the other immortal ships are all doing well.
"Ugh..." March 7th let out a soft moan, feeling her body go weak. The main problem was that the power was too hot and the amount was unusually large, which she could hardly bear.
"Sister March 7th, come on, unleash your power!"
"Alright, let these guys taste what I'm capable of!"
March 7th was equally decisive; a hint of fiery red appeared in his colorful pupils, and then he drew his bow and began shooting arrows incessantly.
One ice arrow after another exploded in the sky, turning into ice spikes and other things that froze the antimatter legion. Then, in the next instant, these frozen legion creations glowed red as the power of the dragon runes burned them, trying to melt them into ashes.
"Cool~ Let's call this move 'Ice and Fire Combined'~"
March 7th squinted and then made a trigger-pulling motion, while Bai Zhi clapped along behind him.
However, even with the blessing of Bai Zhi, which allowed March 7 to continuously use his ultimate move, such an attack was merely a drop in the ocean against the antimatter legion that kept descending from the spaceship.
Seemingly detecting an attack on the ground, the antimatter legion ships in the sky suddenly lit up with a red glow.
A powerful beam of light shot directly towards the location where Bai Zhi and her group were.
Bai Zhi sensed a strong sense of danger and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
After a fleeting glint of light in her eyes, she pulled Xing along and jumped behind a nearby steel barrier. March 7th and Danheng also quickly found cover.
The beam of light struck the ground instantly, unleashing a massive explosion that reduced everything around it to ashes.
Bai Zhi and Xing were blown backward by the strong shockwave and heat wave.
Shaking her head, Bai Zhi opened her eyes with difficulty. The scene before her was no longer the same as before; instead, she saw only a sea of fire. She could not see her companions or any signs of life; she could only hear her own rapid heartbeat and breathing.
"hiss...."
Bai Zhi raised her arm and looked at her body. The injuries were quite terrible. If it were someone else, they would probably die on the spot, let alone wake up.
Fortunately, the powerful energy of the dog charm was nourishing her body, and her injuries were healing at a visible speed.
By the time she got up, the terrible injury had completely healed.
"Is this the true way to fight in interstellar warfare...?"
Bai Zhi gasped for breath. Compared to the battle in the Black Tower space, the intensity here was terrifyingly high.
The main problem is that spaceship above; it disregarded all morality and launched a direct orbital attack. Who could withstand that?
Just then, she heard a voice, a familiar voice.
"Little Angelica, are you alright?"
Bai Zhi turned around. It was March 7th. She stumbled over and hugged Bai Zhi tightly.
"Thank goodness, you're alright. I just saw it; the orbital strike hit right next to you. I thought..." March 7's beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
"Alright, Sister March 7th, have you forgotten my abilities? I won't die so easily." Bai Zhi patted March 7th's back reassuringly.
24. Methods to shoot down a spaceship
"Cough cough cough, I almost thought I was going to die just now..."
From the ruins, a hand suddenly reached out, followed by a head and body—it was Xing, who had just been knocked away as well.
However, she didn't look to be in good condition; her clothes were tattered and covered in blood.
"are you OK."
Bai Zhi looked at Xing with concern.
"I'm alright. If it weren't for the buff you gave me, Bai Zhi, I probably would have died already. When I was knocked away, a huge steel plate went straight into my forehead."
Xing pointed to her still-scarred forehead, "I just don't know if it will affect my future appearance."
"Alright, that's enough. Even if it leaves a scar, with today's advanced technology, it can be easily treated. As long as you're alive, everything is fine."
March 7th also breathed a sigh of relief. That was an orbital strike, something that ordinary people's bodies could not withstand. If Bai Zhi hadn't used her magical power to save them from death, they would probably all be reduced to ashes by now.
"If we don't get rid of this thing, we're going to be in big trouble."
Looking at the ships continuously dropping antimatter forces in the sky, Bai Zhi had a headache. Although the United Government acted quickly, in such a short time, a large number of troops had appeared and used various heavy weapons to bombard the ships.
But this thing is an interstellar warship no matter what, and it's not something that troops still lingering on their home planet can destroy.
The thick energy shield only caused ripples when various rockets or missiles hit it.
"Are you alright?" Dan Heng, covered in dust, rushed over.
"It's alright, we're just thinking about how to deal with that big guy. If we don't take care of it, the railgun could give us a real beating."
Bai Zhi pointed to the dark purple spaceship and said.
"Breaking through this thing's shield... is extremely difficult."
Looking at the spaceship that was still releasing antimatter legion monsters, Dan Heng frowned. If he were to unleash his power now, he should be able to easily deal with this spaceship.
But... is it really appropriate to unleash my power now? Can I really face all those things from the past?
As he pondered this, Danheng fell silent.
Bai Zhi glanced at Dan Heng, who was deep in thought. Of course, she knew what the little azure dragon was thinking. After all, among the people present, Xing, as the protagonist who could contain the star core, had high potential, but his current power was far from enough, making it impossible for him to deal with the spaceship.
While March 7th is equally mysterious, her power... well, it's mostly just for crowd control; forget about dealing damage and breaking through her shield.
In the end, only Dan Heng, the former Dragon Lord, was left. After unleashing his power, he was at least a Commander-level fighter, so dealing with the spaceship would be quite easy for him.
Bai Zhi knew that Dan Heng had many inner conflicts, and if he hadn't been stabbed, it was probably unlikely that he would awaken to his true potential.
Just as Bai Zhi was thinking of a solution, she suddenly felt the earth shake and a scorching sensation came over her.
Turning around instinctively, I was surprised to see that the thrusters built above the underground city were spewing out huge flames, which completely engulfed the spaceship hovering in the air.
"Wow, this spaceship is in trouble now!!" March 7 said excitedly upon seeing this.
After all, the flames spewed out by the thruster are quite spectacular, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.
"No way... The antimatter legion's troop transports are extremely sturdy. How could they be destroyed by the exhaust flames of such a propulsion device? Interstellar civilizations cannot be defeated by such shoddy things."
Although the spaceship was still shrouded in the flames of its thrusters, Dan Heng did not hesitate and immediately made a conclusion.
Bai Zhi nodded. Having spent more than two years in the Immortal Ship civilization, she was very clear about the defensive capabilities of interstellar spaceships.
It's important to know that spacecraft face many harsh environments in space, so temperature protection is an area that spacecraft excel at.
Moreover, the opponent also has such a thick energy shield.
Inside the spaceship, there might be some kind of antimatter engine, so it's highly unlikely that the thruster exhaust flames would deplete its energy.
As expected, this clearly overloaded firing state did not last long; the thruster's exhaust plume gradually diminished and then disappeared.
Similarly, just as Dan Heng had predicted, the antimatter legion warships in the sky remained suspended in the air, silently hovering, as if mocking the powerlessness of these natives who had not yet escaped the planet.
"It really had no effect at all?" March 7's mouth gaped slightly. In her opinion, the thruster had been so powerful and impressive just now, it should have at least knocked some things away.
The result was exactly the same as the beginning.
