I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 457:

Everyone had to admit that the Almighty possessed a formidable power that caused much distress.

With the ability of "time regression" and "infinite backup," combined with her own strength... it made her nearly invincible and almost impossible to be killed.

But, even for such a tricky being, there still existed its own vulnerabilities.

A fatal weakness.

The ability of ‘time regression’ required conscious activation, while ‘infinite backup’ granted her an unlimited number of bodies, though it was impossible to have multiple souls.

From beginning to end, the Almighty only had one soul.

She didn’t need a real duplicate of herself.

Because of the annulus civilization’s protection over the city, the Heart of Radiance couldn’t instantly eliminate her soul. However, the members of the Babel Tower who infiltrated the interior of the Giant Hive through the power of the Babel Tower could bypass the annulus civilization’s barrier and directly inflict soul damage that could not be diminished.

True invincibility doesn’t exist.

Although Bai Yan couldn’t utilize the potential of Core Operators, Maryse, whom he had carefully nurtured, still possessed the possibility of becoming the "Moon Dancer" after arriving at Apocalypse and choosing the power of fairy tales.

However, after Maryse made her choice, the powers of other possibilities couldn’t grow stronger anymore. Yet, those possibilities remained effective even after being activated.

The dance of the Moon Dancer possessed the power to bewitch souls.

And, this dreadful power originated from the Eternal Moon within the Outer God, perhaps even affecting divine beings, so the mere Almighty was naturally not immune to it.

The Almighty, at this very moment, had a blurred consciousness and stared blankly at the "moonlight" in the sky.

Unable to think.

She was fascinated.

That was an unimaginable attraction for others, with countless moonlights seemingly transformed into a vast amount of information, containing various things that the Almighty struggled to comprehend.

Bai Yan knew in his heart that as long as he could eliminate her true form during the time when the Almighty was unable to transfer consciousness...

And everything came to an end.

The Almighty may be powerful on her own, but in World of adventures, it’s all about the strength in numbers!

Bai Yan had trained so many people for the Babel Tower, and now it was the perfect time to make use of them.

Although possessing the tremendous power of Power Possession, Bai Yan was unable to harness the potential within them. Therefore, no matter what, he could never replace any Core Operator.

Maryse was really upset.

She once again adorned herself with moonlight and danced gracefully.

A strange feeling reappeared, and she wished that anyone witnessing her dance would perish immediately!

[Oh, how frustrating, what could possibly be happening...]

[I was just out shopping, why is this happening...]

Maryse quickly discovered that a piece of paper was starting to transform in mid-air, gradually turning into the figure of Mr. Profligate.

[Oh, Senior Profligate is here!]

He seemed to be sitting in mid-air, completely detached from World.

Profligate smiled as he looked at the physical form of the Almighty, squinting his eyes, feeling in complete control of everything.

Although Maryse was not being noticed by the other person at all, she unknowingly danced with even more enthusiasm and initiative, as if she wanted to show her beautiful side.

Bai Yan, who was in the sky, spoke slowly:

"Almighty, this is your final fate... So, this ‘war’ is coming to an end here."

However... this was just the beginning in Bai Yan’s heart.

This city was actually very important to Bai Yan.

At the very top of the sky!

The Scarlet Moon looked down upon everyone like a mighty witch!

The red flames kept burning through the air, making everything around them become incredibly hot. The sky and clouds turned crimson, as if it were the end of World.

In this headquarters building, the clone individuals who serve as the "offspring" of the Almighty didn’t offer any resistance and instead chose to surrender directly.

The downfall of the revered Almighty had already been enough to make them lose faith in the battle.

The deep blue giant slime is in the hall, it’s a bit exhausting as it swallows the frightened clone individuals one by one, then regurgitates them after brainwashing them.

From the perspective of mistreating prisoners, this was inhumane, and from the perspective of not judging war criminals, this was unjust... but it was also the quickest way to take control of the situation, handling the aftermath.

And so, Bai Yan chose it.

In the basement of the headquarters building, there was an incredibly bright and secret room, spacious and enormous.

In the enormous room, there were rows of neatly arranged white cabinets. Inside the compartments of these cabinets were one safe after another, storing important items.

In front of the cabinet, Elene held a strand of blue silk thread in her hand and fell into deep thoughts.

That was the Almighty’s memory.

She looked at it once again.

"Is this memory real or fake?"

Text appeared on the cue card once again.

Standing by, Bai Yan shook his head and said, "It has no traps, no tricks to drive you mad. It’s just a memory, but not necessarily true."

From the moment they stepped into this city, they could see all sorts of enormous lies everywhere.

Many people strongly believed in this, thinking that World outside the Giant Hive was on the verge of destruction, and only the Almighty protected everyone as the true God of humanity.

He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I lean towards it being partly true and partly false. The Almighty probably embellished her own experiences, defining herself as a victim."

Elene stayed silent for a long time this time.

Finally, words appeared once again on the cue card.

"I didn’t know who I was before, and I didn’t know who others wanted me to become... But luckily, I had the chance to finally decide who I wanted to be."

Although he had already heard her decision, Bai Yan became somewhat concerned this time because of Scarlet Moon’s recent words, which stirred something within him.

Bai Yan pondered for a moment and asked:

"Do you no longer wish to inherit that person’s will, but instead, want to become a new Elene, the Elene who lives for the sake of ordinary people?"

"No."

To Bai Yan’s surprise, the response on the cue card was completely unexpected!

What is happening?

This time, the choice turned out to be different!

Bai Yan froze for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Ah! That’s right, this situation is different from the last time."

At that time, she and I were facing the Almighty, and it was still the "war" period.

She chose to continue being Elene at that time, perhaps because... back then, she believed that for this city, Elene was necessary to exist.

"Babel Tower will take over this city, I am willing to believe that the Savior will make the city better. If that’s the case, I am no longer needed here, and Elene is no longer needed either..."

"Elene" Nian remained silent, her fingers tapping on the icy keyboard, making a steady clacking sound.

She gazed into Bai Yan’s eyes.

"But... if the Savior makes people feel pain, despair, and unable to speak up for the things they love, a new Elene will be born in this city. It may not be me, but eventually, there will be someone."

"The darkness will not exist forever."

Bai Yan chuckled and started singing a different tune:

"Will there always be a hero in times of oppression? Will the hero always defeat the villains? Not necessarily, in fact, it is all just the imagination of idealists in the end."

But Nian shook her head, revealing a smile she had never had in countless lifetimes past:

"These things don’t concern me for now. From now on, I will live as Nian and no longer be the leader of the rebel army... There is no longer a need for the rebel army to exist."

"Um, actually, I want to open a flower shop."
