Chapter 271

Bai Yan took a deep breath.

It was over.

The most powerful enemy I've ever encountered... There was no doubt about it.

Luckily, until the end, she only had to use a small portion of her strength.

Otherwise, with the current Babel Tower, there would be no chance of winning at all.

With the help of the Heart of Radiance, one of the Rainbows, Ailsa managed to retain some of her self-awareness.

Because of the weak spot called "love," Ailsa couldn't regain her powers of "glow" immediately in the end.

They managed to convince Kessel to join them, which became a crucial key to victory. Without the presence of the "Emperor," the battle would have undoubtedly ended in defeat.

At least in the game called "Babel Tower," it was like that.

It was because of all these reasons that Bai Yan and his friends finally found an opportunity in the real world.

"Is she dead? That... Queen of the Scarlet Moon," Alan suddenly asked.

His mood was a bit downcast, after all, the two who had just passed away were not supposed to die here at this moment.

Alan didn't think that this was a good ending.

Heroic or sacrificial, if... all these tragedies would never happen again, that would be the best.

"I don't know how,"

Mu Ling gently shook her head and said calmly, "Even in death, we cannot distance ourselves from our Savior."

Maryse firmly believed that the Queen of the Scarlet Moon would also be resurrected by the great power of the Savior, just like what had happened to her.

Bai Yan stood by and nodded as well.

But he didn't say anything.

Suddenly, Alan and the others saw a surprising sight.

"What is this?" Alan was stunned.

A dazzling golden light appeared in the air, shining and glowing continuously, making it hard to look away.

A kind of miraculous power was affecting the world.

They brought back people who had already passed away from another world!

Among countless streams of golden light, a lazy female figure appeared.

She slowly woke up.

"I... didn't die?"

The perfect queen, her voice filled with confusion, and a hint of subtle perplexity.

In order to ensure that this event would receive a perfect evaluation, Bai Yan used a tactical card he had obtained not long ago... the "Resurrection of the Dead."

"Welcome back," said Mu Ling calmly and without surprise.

Kessel and Alan were astonished as they witnessed the resurrection of the members of the Babel Tower.

Maryse, who had personally experienced death, pondered over the resurrection, feeling that it was somehow different from her own previous encounter with death.

Bai Yan, who remained silent, quickly noticed that the Scarlet Moon didn't show any signs of happiness. Instead, she appeared to be somewhat upset.

She stared at her own hands for a long time, feeling lost in thought.

"Born again..."

Even death cannot free me from the control of the Babel Tower?

The Scarlet Moon furrowed her brow.

She didn't care about life and death, but she felt strong dislike and... fear towards this situation of being forever controlled.

Is it really possible for it to be like this?

So, even if someone were to commit suicide, would it have no effect?

As a queen, she carried the weight of responsibility and would never consider taking her own life. Thus, she never attempted to break free from control using such means.

But death was something she could accept, and now, the Scarlet Moon finally realized it.

Trying to escape from the Savior is something that even death cannot accomplish.

"Savior... it seems that we, in the Babel Tower, will be your eternal servants..."

The Scarlet Moon whispered to herself and let out a deep sigh.

"The Demon of Justice, it seems, you are still not strong enough to grant me eternal slumber."

She pondered, wondering if, by destroying her soul, she could finally escape from the Babel Tower once and for all.

Emperor Kessel stood still for a long time, his face showing a calm expression. He had returned to his original self, just like before.

Kessel sighed and said, "You go ahead, I want to stay here a little longer."

This battle completely changed Kessel's understanding. In his eyes, the Babel Tower was no longer an enemy but became, in a way, some kind of ally.

Kessel started to have a better attitude towards the people of the Babel Tower.

"Things have come to this point, and we probably don't need to stay anymore."

Mu Ling nodded gently, and the black mist indeed surged up from all around.

Not only she, but also Maryse, the Scarlet Moon, and Alan were all enveloped by the black mist.

They were quickly taken away by the power of the Babel Tower.

Only Bai Yan remained standing here, watching the young boy in pure white not far away.

"You are special," Kessel said slowly.

Bai Yan didn't reply.

Kessel said, "I can sense it even more, each main member of the Babel Tower is extraordinary... but you are even more exceptional than them."

"Your hidden abilities are truly immeasurable, impossible to fully grasp... I have only witnessed a similar situation once before, in someone else's presence..."

Kessel let out a sigh and said, "I once hoped that he would grow and become an exceptional member of the Night Watchers... But I was too powerless and couldn't make it to Tatsumi City in time... Now, I don't know where he is, and I bear some responsibility for it as well."

"This is not your fault," he reassured.

"Indeed," he replied.

Bai Yan revealed a remarkable smile.

"Maybe, someday, you will see each other again."

"There will never be such a day again."

Kessel shook his head and said, "I escaped from prison, and the Tower of Heights helped me. But as we agreed, I must willingly go back and face my punishment."

Well, once he accepts the sentence, Kessel will be locked up for several years... at least theoretically.

Bai Yan pondered for a moment and then spoke up, saying, "The reason you were imprisoned is actually because of the Hundred Kings Assembly's selection of a new leader. That's why you were falsely accused and charged, right?"

"Hmm."

Kessel didn't hide anything and nodded gently.

Aside from today's events, he has never done anything that would harm the Air Alliance.

But sometimes, even if you are very innocent, you can still be falsely accused.

This is a common way people try to make someone look bad. If the person accused wants to prove their innocence, they often have to put in a lot of effort.

Kessel gazed at Bai Yan and said, "It seems like you know a lot. No, I should say that the Savior of the Babel Tower is truly a great being, who even knows about these secrets so clearly."

Bai Yan closed his mouth and didn't answer.

He couldn't possibly tell him that he had played through the "first playthrough", could he?

After a moment of silence, Kessel spoke up:

"I can tell you, the king I support... is someone from the descendants of Ailsa and me... He is also the king of Tatsumi City, the Leaf King."

It was really him! Bai Yan narrowed his eyes, recalling all the things he had to do.

Let's begin.

The first summon!

"Possibility! The Divine Light - Innocent Singer (Seven Days)"

"In a land of darkness, there once lived a priestess known for her radiant light. She wore a white dress that shimmered like sunlight and held a pendant symbolizing the Heart of Radiance. With this pendant, she drew upon the power of the Heart of Radiance to shine brightly upon all who crossed her path, captivating them with her undeniable radiance."

"In this worldline, the 'Innocent Singer' is no longer a member of the Dark Light Church. Instead, they have started to believe in the Heart of Radiance, forsaking all offensive powers to gain the purest and most powerful ability of redemption."

"Special effect, gain the 'Shine' ability set instead of the original 'Singer' ability set, possessing incredibly strong healing powers."

Bai Yan, a young man, looked at the item he had just pulled out. He fell silent for a moment, letting out a sigh.

The good news is that he drew one of the strongest possibilities of the Innocent Singer. The bad news, however, was that it was only for a duration of seven days, not forever.

"The Divine Light," the most powerful healer skin in the later stages, bar none.

She gave up all her attacking abilities, and her defense wasn't even considered strong. However, she possessed unquestionable self-healing powers. Every ability she had was used for saving others. In the later stages, she could even easily humiliate "Death" and effortlessly bring back the dead more than once.

Even if you're a god, if your "profession" doesn't match, it's not so easy to resurrect someone.

Bai Yan thought deeply. The sullen girl, Evie, who happened to be the Innocent Singer, was now within his reach... and he had planted a subconscious suggestion in her.

"Um, if only we could just put her in the pool and then pull her out... We'd have an extra healer, I could save a lot of money, and our overall success rate would be much higher..."

Unfortunately, this kind of thing was impossible.

The second summon!

"Cycle of Life and Death · Perduto (Seven Days)"

This skin held a special possibility that could make the whole world begin to cycle. However, the last time I obtained one was for seven days only. It's only when combined with this one that the true skin had been obtained.

The third summon!

"Power of Possibility! God of the Arena: Fist of Duel (Seven Days)"

Yes, you can!

This time, we really hit the jackpot! Now inside the Babel Tower, we have the mighty "Fist of Duel" skin as well as the ultimate 1v1 champion skin from early and mid-game, all in our hands.

Originally, Bai Yan thought that when the First Doomsday Crisis began, the Fist of Duel might not be of any use. But now, he let go of his worries and felt relieved.

The "Roaring Arena of Cheers" often worked wonders in many instances.

"When that time comes, everyone in the room will cheer."

The fourth summon!

"Possibility! Land of the Undead Hell · Sword of Demons (Seven Days)"

Compared to the "Heavenly Radiance," the "Land of the Undead Hell" was a completely different possibility.

The Sword of Demons is a sword that was created in a situation where thousands of demons intertwined. In one particular world, it came into existence in the dimension of death.

In that world without warmth, countless vengeful spirits turned the Sword of Demons into an extremely sinister and slender blade that was used against life.

The Sword of Demons can fight on its own, but as an equipped weapon, it is also very powerful. It is far beyond the comparison of ordinary "Civilization-level Relics."

To be honest, Bai Yan was rather looking forward to getting his hands on this guy.

He had a strong impression of this guy, the way he performed in the game called "Babel Tower"... His character was truly one-of-a-kind, making it hard to forget.

The fifth summon!

"World Changing Fragment • Palace of Celestial Evolution x1"

Sixth summon!

"World-changing artifact · Minoan Labyrinth ×1"

Seventh summon!

"World-changing artifact · Minoan Labyrinth ×1"

Eighth summon!

"World-changing fragments 'Lost Paradise ×1'."

Ninth summon!

"The Fragment of Worldly Change - The Golden Country ×1"

Tenth summon!

"World-changing fragments · Rainbow Road ×1"

Bai Yan, a young boy, watched as a series of world-changing fragments appeared behind him. He felt his breath becoming difficult, so he quickly used the special power of the "regret card."

And then, two more world-changing fragments appeared... but the final shot missed!

This is the new skin for the "Cybertyrant"!

"Possibility! Battle Angel Cybertyrant (Forever)."

"Battle Angel, she has a set of special suits that fit her body very closely. Her whole body has been highly modified with advanced technology, giving her incredible fighting abilities that normal people can hardly imagine."

"In this world, the Cybertyrant stumbled into a mighty mechanical civilization. After going through the civilization's most advanced and powerful modifications, the Cybertyrant gained powers that ordinary people find hard to comprehend."

The "Cybertyrant" under this skin doesn't lose its original abilities. Instead, it gains a tremendously powerful combat body, transforming into a fully armed battle angel. With this new skin, the Cybertyrant has incredible technological abilities, like bullet barrage attacks, invisibility, long-range missiles, and instant high-speed support. Without a doubt, it is a very handy skin to have.

The summoning is complete.

Bai Yan has to say, even though he obtained many fragments this time, he directly gained several useful "possibilities". Bai Yan felt that his luck was still not bad.

This time's activity brought many rewards.

Bai Yan took a look at his entertainment cards, along with the awakening souls and spirits of revelation he had collected during this period of time.

He knew that he had to use up all of them before the Doomsday Crisis arrived.

Using up all the stock, they would transform the Babel Tower into its strongest state when facing the Doomsday Crisis.

"The Crown Ceremony is really challenging, as it takes a long time to promote all the Core Operators to the Crown level."

So, Bai Yan first used the Awakening Souls he had on hand to promote the Cybertyrant to a Potential Crown.

Among the existing members of the Babel Tower, she was the last Core Operator to reach the level of a Potential Crown.

Next, Bai Yan used the available "Spirit of Revelation" to bestow upon the Scarlet Moon, allowing her to directly ascend to the level of Potential Apocalypse!

Although, starting from the Apocalypse, Mu Ling's strength would gradually surpass that of the Scarlet Moon.

This difference would even grow larger and larger.

But, for now, Bai Yan knew that the strongest reliance of the Babel Tower was the early-stage war deity, the Queen of the Scarlet Moon.

Following that, Bai Yan proceeded to distribute several Entertainment Cards he had in his hand, which had the power to enhance abilities, to different Core Operators.

"Go ahead, while there is still time, find ways to improve your skills."

In the next moment, Bai Yan appeared inside the Golden Palace. The ravens started their usual routine of reporting to him about everything that had happened over the past ten days.

He paused for a moment, slightly surprised.

"Troublemakers... Have they already arrived in Tatsumi City? And they've been here for a few days."

Bai Yan took a deep breath, knowing that the Troublemakers were the evil group that worshipped the "Pupil of Chaos".

Because the "Pupil of Chaos" is also known as the "Plunderer," most of the Troublemakers are purely evil.

Pure.

They didn't possess the thought-provoking principles of the "Church of Balance" or the "Black Star Faction". Instead, they purely embraced desires and power.

The true opponent of the First Doomsday Crisis should be none other than the Pupil of Chaos.

And His "Chosen for Eternity" remained an unknown entity for Bai Yan.

He only knew that every deity, whether an ancient god or an Outer God, could have many chosen ones. But those who could be called the "Chosen for Eternity" had only one loyal follower at the same time across multiple universes.

"This kind of being indeed has the potential to summon the Outer God and destroy the entire world..."

Bai Yan furrowed his brow deeply, facing a Doomsday Crisis that he had never encountered in his first playthrough.

Without a doubt, it would be the biggest test ever faced!
