Chapter 229: Two Core Operators!

Bai Yan held his breath and pressed the button labeled “Destiny.”

In that instant, he welcomed a new fate—or, perhaps, once again seized control over the fates of others.

First Ten Summons

First summon:

Operator Fragment · Innocent Singer ×1

Second summon:

Operator Fragment · Fist of Duel ×1

Third summon:

Operator Fragment · Dead Insane Warrior Red Moon ×1

Fourth summon:

Entertainment Card · Dawn of World Destruction ×1

Fifth summon:

Mystical Power Fragment · Manipulation of Reality ×1

Sixth summon:

Relic Fragment · Blink Blade ×1

Seventh summon:

Operator Fragment · Queen of the Scarlet Moon ×1

Eighth summon:

Relic Fragment · Blink Blade ×1

Ninth summon:

Mystical Power Fragment · Power of Weather ×1

Tenth summon:

Tactical Card · Resurrection of the Dead ×1

As the fragments of Queen of the Scarlet Moon began to rotate on the device’s screen, black mist enveloped them, converging into a pristine portrait.

At last, a new character was born.

Bai Yan sat motionless on his bed for what felt like an eternity, his thoughts caught in a calm, exhilarating tide.

It was finally complete.

He whispered under his breath, savoring every word:

“After more than two months… I’ve finally done it.

Queen of the Scarlet Moon… the goddess of early-game battles.

Now, she’s mine.”

Bai Yan stood abruptly, unable to suppress his elation.

“There’s still time. The current phase of Babel Tower is early to mid-game—perfect for unleashing her full potential.”

A smile lingered on his face, one that refused to fade. The joy he felt was akin to that of a player saving up in a gacha game for months, only to draw their dream character in a single, perfect pull.

He looked at the screen and murmured:

“Scarlet Moon… we meet again, though this time on my terms.”

He chuckled softly.

“No more ‘Queen of the Scarlet Moon.’ From now on, you’re just Scarlet Moon. And I—Bai Yan—am your new boss.”

Repent and Reap

With his first set of summons complete, Bai Yan focused on “repenting” fragments of Power of Weather, Fist of Duel, and Dead Insane Warrior Red Moon.

First summon:

Core Operator · Fist of Duel ×1

Second summon:

Mystical Power Fragment · Eternal Youth ×1

Third summon:

Operator Fragment · Drunken Master Panda Rowen ×1

Another Core Operator materialized. Bai Yan inhaled deeply, his contentment unshakable.

Though it took assembling

fragments, the Queen of the

Scarlet Moon was finally his.

Satisfied but curious, Bai Yan

decided to move on to another

draw pool—Different

Dimensions.

Second Ten Summons

With his mindset now serene,

Bai Yan initiated another ten-

summon.

First summon:

Potential · Fairy Tale Dragon

Slayer Hero · Fist of Duel

(Seven Days)

The Fairy Tale Dragon Slayer

Hero now bore ebony armor

and wielded a vast array of

weapons—a significant

upgrade to the original Fist of

Duel.

Second summon:

Potential · Demons Entwined ·

Crime Hunter Perduto (Seven

Days)

The specialized skin, Demons

Entwined, enhanced Perduto’s

abilities against anomalies but

also subjected him to

immense psychological strain.

Third to Ninth summons:

World Line Change Fragments:

Shadow Kingdom, Purgatory,

Minoan Labyrinth, Golden

Kingdom, Nibelungen ×1 each.

Tenth summon:

Potential · Abyssal Assassin ·

Hidden Azure (Seven Days)

Bai Yan reviewed his draws,

carefully selecting Shadow

Kingdom, Minoan Labyrinth,

and Golden Kingdom as regret

cards.

New cards emerged:

First summon:

Possibility · Arcane Behemoth ·

Fusion Slime (Seven Days)

Second and Third summons:

World Line Change Fragments·

Pyramid of the Sun ×2

Satisfied, Bai Yan leaned back,

basking in the glow of his

achievements. He had secured

two new Core Operators and a

host of other valuable items.

A game notification caught his

eye:

[Achievement Unlocked: Black

Star Cult]

Reward: 5 Awakening Souls

Bai Yan smirked. The

Doomsday Crisis was

approaching, but he was ready.

A Vampiric Celebration

Elsewhere, in the Club of the

Vampires, a grand celebration

was underway.

Tonight marked the centennial

of the vampires’ settlement in

Tatsumi City, led by their

revered Queen of the Scarlet

Moon.

In a grand hall adorned with

opulence, vampires raised

their glasses of blood wine in

reverence.

“To Her Majesty the Queen!”

In a luxurious room above the

festivities, a petite red-haired

girl stirred in her bed. She

stretched lazily, her childlike

form transforming into that of

a stunning, mature woman.

Her fiery red hair, as vivid as

flames, framed a figure of

unparalleled elegance.

“The time has come,” she

murmured, slipping into a

sleek black gown.

As she prepared to make her

reluctant appearance, a voice

echoed in her mind:

[You have been chosen by fate,

Queen of the Scarlet Moon.]
