Chapter 295

Summon! New Operator!
The recorded rewards were
quite generous, but
considering the difficulty of the
main quest “Doomsday Crisis,”
these substantial rewards
were entirely justifiable.
However, Bai Yan felt a tinge of
regret. Resurrecting the
members of Babel Tower
required a significant amount
of Source Energy Points
Initially, he pondered whether
to delay reviving a few
individuals, but ultimately, he
decided to resurrect all of
them.
The reasoning was simple—
they were not merely his
pawns.
Resurrecting six Core
Operators cost over 4,000
Source Energy Points. Among
these, reviving Scarlet Moon
accounted for nearly half of
the expense.
Being a powerhouse at the
Potential Apocalypse level, her
daily contributions were
immense, so her resurrection
costs were justifiably high.
Still, Bai Yan muttered with
annoyance:
“Why is it so expensive? In the
future, we have to ‘milk her dry’
and recover every last Source
Energy Point spent on her
resurrection.”
Source Energy Points and
Awakening Rewards
After the resurrections, less
than 2,000 Source Energy
Points remained—just enough
for a ten-summon. But Bai Yan knew the most valuable part of the rewards wasn’t the Source Energy Points.
Instead, it was the Awakening Souls, Spirit of Revelation, and three gold achievements.
Thirty Awakening Souls
Currently, the Core Operators of Babel Tower were at least at the Potential Crown level and no longer required Awakening Souls for growth.
However, if Bai Yan summoned a new Core Operator, these would instantly elevate their strength to Potential Crown.
The thought of such power-up efficiency was immensely satisfying.
Ten Spirits of Revelation
Each Spirit could increase Revelation Points by 10%.
With these, Bai Yan could elevate either Mu Ling or Maryse to Potential Apocalypse.
The choice was obvious. Mu Ling’s strength as “Nightsaber” far exceeded that of the “Psychic Dancer.”
Mu Ling’s Ascension
Using nine Spirits of Revelation, Bai Yan raised Mu Ling’s Revelation Points from 3% to a staggering 92%. She had now reached Potential Apocalypse.
In the world of Noah, Apocalypse-level powerhouses were rare. Each nation, like the Air Alliance or the Kingdom of Dark Light, had only a handful.
Mu Ling’s newfound strength was bolstered by her Deep Blue World ability. Without relying on Tactical Cards or Relics, she had become a dominant force.
Meanwhile, Scarlet Moon, though slightly weaker, was not far behind.
As for Bai Yan himself, he mused:
“I don’t even know how strong I am now… but I do know that killing me won’t be easy.”
Challenges to Reaching Apocalypse
Reaching Apocalypse required more than increasing Revelation Points—it also demanded collecting all character ‘skins.’
For example, Mu Ling needed nine skins to ascend.
Scarlet Moon, with only three skins required, had a higher chance of breaking through.
Scarlet Moon already possessed the Water World skin. With the Fairy Tale Demon King and Crimson Tyrant skins, her evolution to Apocalypse was within reach.
Bai Yan sighed:
“As our powers grow stronger, the cost of revelations and skins increases exponentially.”
The Savior’s Mysterious Ring
Among the special items Bai Yan received, the “Savior’s Mysterious Ring” stood out.
This transparent, almost invisible ring provided three crucial abilities:
Instant Teleportation to Core
or Non-core Operators without
using the Heart of Babel
Tower.
Direct Transport of objects or
individuals into Babel Tower.
Skill Proficiency Boost,
enabling Bai Yan to evolve
skills by consuming Source
Energy Points.
With the world’s destruction
drawing closer, this last ability
was invaluable. Skills that
typically required years to
master could now be
enhanced instantly.
Bai Yan pondered whom to
strengthen first and eventually
chose Maryse. Enhancing her
abilities would allow the
recruitment of more Non-core
Operators to strengthen Babel
Tower.
Strengthening Maryse’s Skills
Maryse’s abilities included:
Mind Reading and Mind
Control (both maxed out).
Other skills like Memory
Modification (61%) and Deep
Red – Divine Punishment
(97%).
Bai Yan decided to max out the
proficiency of Memory
Modification, Common Sense
Substitution, Sacred Rune –
Athena, and Deep Red – Divine
Punishment.
The enhancements cost over
500 Source Energy Points,
leaving only enough for a ten-
summon.
New Mystical Power: Infinity
Bai Yan faced a crucial
decision—choosing a new
Mystical Power. Among
hundreds of options, three
stood out:
Creation (from “Origin”): The
power to create anything, even
life.
Sacrifice (from “Master of
Ceremony”): The ability to
absorb offerings, including
memories and souls.
Infinity (from “Origin”):
Unlimited mental power and
immunity to negative mental
states.
After much deliberation, Bai
Yan chose Infinity and
bestowed it upon Scarlet
Moon.
This granted her infinite
mental clarity, allowing her to
unleash her full power without
losing control—a critical
enhancement for future
battles.
The Fate Pool: A Ten-Summon
Draw
With anticipation, Bai Yan
initiated a ten-summon from
the Fate Pool. The results were
astonishing:
Operator Fragment – Innocent
Singer
Operator Fragment – White
Night Devil
Operator Fragment – Gray Child
Entertainment Card – Final
Submersion
Mystical Power Fragment –
Reality Manipulation
Relic Fragment – Aegis Shield
Mystical Power Fragment –
Absolute Stillness
Relic Fragment – Blink Blade
Mystical Power Fragment –
Reality Manipulation
Tactical Card – Meteorite from
Heaven
The appearance of White Night
Devil and Gray Child in the
Fate Pool shocked Bai Yan.
These Operators hadn’t existed
in the first playthrough.
“Could this be a reward for
surviving the First Doomsday
Crisis?” he wondered.
With only 88 days until the
Second Doomsday Crisis, Bai
Yan’s determination to
strengthen Babel Tower
intensified. The road ahead
would be perilous, but he
welcomed the challenge with a
glint of excitement in his eyes.
“Get stronger,” he murmured,
ready to face the trials to
come.
