Chapter 354: A Perfect Return!

The moment “Evil Bastard” fell into the hands of the witch, his death was certain.

Even if Bai Yan had no intention of killing him, she would ensure that he met his end. It was unavoidable.

Why? Because Bai Yan couldn’t afford to lose face.

For him to receive a perfect evaluation in the “Dark Night Lost City” event, this task had to be completed. He couldn’t let this opportunity slip away—it was a matter of principle.

Up until now, Bai Yan had voluntarily abandoned only a handful of missions.

“Evil Bastard”—the current leader of the Order of the Moon Witch, a self-proclaimed saint—had been born into a legacy. Since birth, he had been bound to the fate of his ancestors, members of the Order of the Moon Witch. The descendants were forever enslaved to the Ultimate Witch, with no hope of freedom.

Each generation had been bound by this curse, with the reincarnations of the Ultimate Witch commanding them to do their bidding. The imprints of thoughts from these witches were inescapable and irresistible.

In the beginning, the members of the Order of the Moon Witch willingly served the reincarnations of the witch. They knew resisting the witch’s influence was impossible.

But as time passed, they realized that the witches saw them as mere pawns—traitors to be used and discarded.

Eventually, they could no longer bear the cruelty and tore off their masks, revealing their true intentions.

From a young age, “Evil Bastard” had been taught by his family to resist the reincarnations of the Ultimate Witch, to free the remnants of the Order of the Moon Witch.

He saw himself as a challenger of fate, his heart filled with resentment.

Through years of refining cursed spells and shape-shifting magic, he had gained control over terrifying supernatural powers—the ability to create mutants.

“Evil Bastard” traveled between three great kingdoms, manipulating the lower classes and creating mutant armies. These mutants disrupted the local order and brought chaos wherever they went. His bloodthirsty deeds escalated, making his reward bounty skyrocket.

“Evil Bastard” proclaimed himself the voice of the oppressed, a weapon to shatter destiny.

Perhaps in his eyes, Ganis was someone worth his approval.

But to Bai Yan, “Evil Bastard” and “Fist of Duel” were fundamentally different.

The former had chosen a dark path, turning the lower class into mutants who had almost lost all trace of their humanity. And how many of those mutants truly wished to “rebel”?

After gaining power, these mutants lacked organization or discipline. They no longer resembled humans.

Instead of targeting the upper class, the mutants mostly attacked innocent civilians in the lower class.

“Evil Bastard” constantly preached about resisting fate and fighting the powerful elites. But in truth, he was simply creating chaos and harming the innocent.

Bai Yan had seen through his true nature.

A “rebel” against destiny? No. His actions were driven by pure malice and anger. Death was the only fitting punishment.

The “Dark Night Lost City” event in the game “Babel Tower” had concluded, with a glorious victory for both Babel Tower and the Dark Light Church.

Bai Yan returned to the Babel Tower, his true form seated on the throne.

A smile played on his lips.

It was time to tally up the rewards.

Special Reward: Privilege: Construct → “Wonderful Review! Special Reward: Privilege: Creativity!”

Privilege: Construction: Refreshes monthly, granting random discounts on three advanced buildings. When purchasing, the consumption of Source Energy Points decreases by 10% to 70%.

Bai Yan’s heart soared with exhilaration. He couldn’t find a better word to describe the feeling—refreshing.

In total, he had earned 3,400 Source Energy Points, 18 Spirits of Revelation, and 40 Awakening Souls.

He had also received the Dionysian Tour—a new Entertainment Card that Bai Yan had never seen before in his first playthrough.

“Could this be exclusive to the second playthrough? Maybe it’s like the Banquet Card, used for drinking?” Bai Yan wondered.

The Endless Fury card was one he had used before, so no further explanation was needed.

The Protective Barrier was a powerful defensive Tactical Card that required a Core Operator to activate and maintain. It could last for an hour, providing near-immunity to attacks from opponents of the same level.

And the privilege of construction was nothing short of amazing—random discounts on advanced buildings, reducing Source Energy Point costs by up to 70%!

This was a treasure Bai Yan couldn’t ignore.

Bai Yan smiled, reflecting on the progress he had made. He remembered his first attempts at the “Babel Tower” game, where he struggled to get past the First Doomsday Crisis. Now, the tower was stronger than ever.

The new event, “Dark Night Lost City,” had brought him an immense wealth of rewards.

But the greatest treasure was the key to the Ultimate Ritual.

Bai Yan gazed at the black ring

in his hand, a sense of

fulfillment washing over him.

As long as he possessed this

key, he was confident that Mu

Ling would become a deity in

the future.

Gods were awe-inspiring

beings in the world of Noah.

Many wished to become

powerful, but few ever dared

dream of godhood.

However, for Bai Yan, the

owner of Babel Tower,

achieving this was becoming

increasingly certain.

There was another pleasant

surprise: the Fusion Slime had

finally been crowned as a

monarch.

The Fusion Slime had

overcome a major obstacle,

making significant progress.

Bai Yan nodded in satisfaction.

The Babel Tower had come a

long way.

He recalled when he first

started the game, with only the

Nightsaber character. Now, he

faced even stronger enemies,

with powerful Core Operators

at his command.

The next challenge was how to

distribute his newly acquired

rewards.

“Hmm…” Bai Yan thought, his

mind racing with possibilities.

With almost 4,000 Source

Energy Points available, he

could make several major

upgrades.

First, he needed the Babel

Tower Exchange Hall, even

though it was expensive. And

this month, it was on sale—

20% off.

“Too bad it’s not the 30%

discount I was hoping for… but

with the 20% off, I can still

make the purchase.” He

decided with determination,

gritting his teeth and finalizing

the deal.

The exchange was successful,

and a small red trading center

icon appeared on his screen,

resembling a tiny house with

windows.

After this purchase, Bai Yan

had just over 1,500 Source

Energy Points remaining.

“Ah, what a pity,” he murmured,

his earlier joy somewhat

dampened.

But the Babel Tower Exchange

wasn’t a waste. It had already

proven useful, allowing him to

exchange relic fragments,

sacred runes, and mystical

powers.

First, Bai Yan used the

Exchange to complete the

Blink Blade. It only cost 100

Source Energy Points for the

final fragment.

The Blink Blade was a special

weapon—one that could

teleport on its own.

He casually tossed the Blink

Blade into the air, watching as

it flickered and reappeared,

teleporting unpredictably and

striking its target.

It was the perfect weapon for

the “Sacred Heart’s Chosen,”

who lacked long-range

abilities.

The Babel Tower Exchange

also had a lending feature,

which Bai Yan found

appealing. He could borrow up

to 5,000 Source Energy Points

for a month, with no interest if

under 1,000 points.

Taking advantage of this, Bai

Yan borrowed 1,000 Source

Energy Points interest-free.

With a total of around 2,500

Source Energy Points, he was

ready for some serious

upgrades.

Bai Yan smiled, feeling the

weight of the decision. It was

time to draw from the Fate and

Different Dimensions pools.

He would draw 40 times in

total, hoping for new relics,

mystical powers, and skins for

his Core Operators.

And with the potential for

more, the future of Babel

Tower was looking brighter

than ever.

“Summon!” he whispered, his

hand outstretched with

confidence.
