I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 481:

This island is alive.

Bai Yan and his companions couldn’t understand how it came into existence, but deep inside, they knew that the person who created it must possess incredible skills in alchemy.

"It’s a little bit like me, but also different."

Kaluoer tilted her head slightly. Her body had undergone various modifications, and over a third of it was no longer flesh and blood.

And this island, not only being an island, is also a living being.

It was a creation born from the fusion of inanimate and living entities, a product of a certain kind of alchemy. Perhaps similar in principle to a golem, it already had a history of no less than a thousand years.

Bai Yan nodded and said, "It is indeed different, and the differences are quite significant. You were originally a living being... but the island beneath our feet was originally inanimate, yet it has been transformed into a living entity. The technical difficulty of this is much higher."

Transforming inanimate objects into living beings is indeed a very difficult task, but for Bai Yan, who existed in the present time, it was not something completely unfamiliar.

After all, the cybertyrant Amy had already created two brand new races.

The extraordinary power can accomplish all sorts of strange things, and all sorts of inexplicable situations may occur.

At this moment, the living island showed no signs of any unusual activity, as if there were no abnormalities... Although its existence itself was an extraordinary situation that should not be underestimated.

Bai Yan smiled slightly and analyzed, saying:

"Queen Aphrora believed that the philosopher’s stone she desired must be on this island, but it was hidden away by something... Now, it was time to solve the puzzle."

Hmm, a puzzle to solve... But for him, who possessed a special connection, there wasn’t really a puzzle to solve, only a moment of unraveling the mystery.

My extraordinary powers, while not very helpful in direct combat, proved to be cheating-level means of gathering intelligence.

Bai Yan gently placed his hand on the ground, and a silvery glow shimmered in his eyes as he activated his innate gift called "Connection."

In an instant, thousands of pieces of information flooded his mind. He immediately began sifting through the sea of data, searching for the useful fragments. Within a few short moments, he discovered a genuine clue that he truly needed.

"Um, right here."

Bai Yan nodded gently and reached out his hand to Evie, speaking in a calm tone, "Hold onto my arm."

"I don’t."

Evie refused without hesitation, blinked her eyes.

Her tone, just like when refusing Cola with ice, was calm and swift, without hesitation.

Bai Yan could only explain, "With your abilities, you cannot go underground, and Kaluoer’s power cannot take you either, so I will have to use magic to take you there."

"Okay then."

Evie let out a sigh and reached out, grabbing the man’s hand directly.

"An arm is enough."

Bai Yan spoke up to remind Evie, but she seemed not to hear and still held onto his hand tightly.

Hmmm... Bai Yan started to understand Evie’s thoughts a bit and didn’t use his psychic powers to investigate. He looked towards Kaluoer, who was not far away.

Kaluoer took a step forward and vanished out of sight.

"Thank you."

Evie remained silent for a while and then gratefully said, "I went back on my promise. All this time, I thought of myself as a protector, but I couldn’t really protect my sister. You are the true Savior of Kaluoer."

"Really, thank you very much."

Evie’s eyes welled up with tears as she spoke these words.

"Kaluoer likes you."

Ding dong.

Bai Yan paused for a moment, giving a faint smile, and said, "I was just morally questioning myself... Although, I have always believed that I have no moral boundaries, but it seems that the reality is different."

"What is it?"

Evie’s mind was filled with little question marks, completely unaware of Bai Yan’s contemplation.

"Are you thinking too much?"

She chuckled and suddenly said, "Are you asking me if I have feelings for you...? Let me tell you, throughout these years, I haven’t seen any true love between couples. Actually, just a little liking is enough. If two people don’t dislike each other, that’s already considered a standard for marriage."

As Evie spoke, she muttered softly under her breath:

"If you really can’t, then find a way to make me like you even more."

Love in stories is rarely seen in reality, and most people’s lives are just making do.

Bai Yan also felt that he had been overthinking in the end.

The things that one has done to strangers that were not quite moral are actually quite numerous, with flexible boundaries.

However, when facing important people, one always becomes somewhat conflicted.

"Ah, if only he had believed that "Babel Tower" was just a game from start to finish, then perhaps he wouldn’t have needed to ponder so much."

"Go down."

Bai Yan smiled and stopped speaking unnecessary words.

The most important thing at the moment was to finish the game "Babel Tower."

Saving World, saving Babel Tower, was definitely the top priority.

In the face of World’s fate, talking about love and romance was not worth mentioning at all.

He immediately grabbed Evie tightly. In an instant, the two of them arrived at the center of the island.

Inside the center of this mysterious island, there stood a gigantic crimson platform made of flesh and blood.

And, hanging in mid-air, there was a heart the size of hundreds of meters, rhythmically pulsating.

Kaluoer had been waiting here for a while, looking expressionlessly towards the sky. Bai Yan and Evie also arrived by her side, gazing together at the enormous heart.

It was filled with power, constantly throbbing, as numerous vibrant blue and purple patterns adorned its surroundings.

With each heartbeat, the blue and purple patterns would tremble slightly, emitting a brilliant golden glow that caused the entire massive platform to shimmer intensely. The visual effect was truly magnificent.

Bai Yan didn’t hesitate, and he directly used the power of "Connection."

In his eyes, silver flames flickered.

He saw many things, even catching a glimpse of Queen Aphrora’s presence in the traces of the past here.

So that’s how it was.

At that moment, Bai Yan understood everything.

"You see, there are many symbols on the heart."

Bai Yan’s voice was calm as he raised his jet-black staff and pointed it towards his heart.

"The magnificent heart was her chosen splendid altar, and the Philosopher’s Stone had already been infused into her bloodstream... Aphrora, the ancient queen, wanted to find the path to becoming a goddess through this ceremony."

"This is the unfinished Ultimate Ritual, a path to become the most evil deity, formed by countless souls sacrificed as offerings."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Am I right, respected Queen?"

"We are the Babel Tower, once helped you, long time no see... Today, let us take your life."
