Chapter 102: Deep Red – Divine Punishment (1)
Inside the office.
Bai Yan appeared to be playing with his phone, but in reality, he was manipulating an unfortunate girl miles away.
Black Vulture was still sleeping, while Holly suddenly approached.
“That!”
Bai Yan, wearing a calm expression, minimized “Babel Tower” on his phone and looked at ease. No one could have guessed that this person, who seemed to be indulging in games during work, was actually the mysterious leader of the Salvation Organization.
“Bai Yan, I need your assistance with something.”
Holly walked over with her hands behind her back and a slightly embarrassed smile on her face.
“Bai Yan? What sort of address is this…” Bai Yan was somewhat speechless after hearing it.
“Tell me, what can I help you with?”
Recalling his decade of poverty and hardship, Bai Yan said seriously, “First, let me make it clear that I don’t have a habit of lending money to others.”
“Actually, I’m certain you will definitely help me.”
Holly leaned toward Bai Yan’s ear and whispered for a moment.
After listening, Bai Yan was slightly stunned. There was indeed no reason to refuse such a request.
Since Holly had already asked, should he, a grown man, decline?
“I see. I am capable and fully supportive.”
“Holly, you are quite thoughtful.”
Bai Yan said with a smile, “I think the captain will be pleased too.”
After their conversation, Holly left with a lively hop and a smile, resembling a rabbit.
Bai Yan couldn’t help but wonder how much physiological connection existed between half-animal rabbit-folk and actual rabbits.
Then he took out his phone and reopened “Babel Tower” which he had just minimized.
Bai Yan had actually considered giving “Deep Red – Divine Punishment” to Mu Ling…but each Core Operator has a limit to the amount of Mystical Power they can possess.
“Deep Red – Divine Punishment” is a type of Mystical Power that doesn’t require basic physical strength to activate.
In the future, there will be more suitable Mystical Powers for Mu Ling.
He retrieved the “operator list” and allocated “Deep Red – Divine Punishment” to “Psychic Dancer,” followed by “Blood of Darkness” and “Sacred Rune · Frigga” to “Cybertyrant.”
“I believe this is the most suitable gift for you.”

Pop.
Maryse exited the safe house and closed the door behind her.
She wore a white mask, a pink hooded sweater, sunglasses, black pants, and almost no facial features were visible.
Maryse descended the stairs with her hands in her pockets.
Constant voices kept emerging in her mind, becoming increasingly unusual.
[Alas, what shall I do about tonight’s homework?]
[It’s warm behind the television; this little rascal has sneaked to watch TV again!]
[During tomorrow’s work meeting, I won’t announce this matter first. I’ll wait until the boss finishes speaking.]
While going downstairs, she maximized her reception of the residents’ emotions and attempted to integrate them.
Self-training.
Despite trying various methods to become stronger, she still lacked combat power.
It seemed the distance between her and “Nightsaber” was growing increasingly wider… Could it be that the “Savior” had rewarded her but not me?
Maryse harbored doubt in her heart but lacked concrete evidence.
The Savior wouldn’t be so partial, right? I just arrived slightly later than “Nightsaber.”
She fell into contemplation, and as she reached the first floor, she suddenly witnessed familiar black mist surging from all directions.
“Wait a moment, this is…!”
[This is the reward bestowed upon you.]
An indescribable and terrifying vortex-like aura gradually enveloped Maryse’s delicate form.
She immediately widened her eyes as the aura nearly caused her heart to spasm, making normal breathing impossible.
It was the power of the “King of Deep Blue”!
Trembling, Maryse extended her hand, her eyes filled with astonishment.
The black mist reappeared, slowly enveloping her fair and delicate arm, followed by a wave of intense pain.
Ouch!
Maryse had never experienced such intense, cellular-level agony before, her soul screaming in torment.
The perspiring elven girl’s eyes gradually turned crimson, with information about the “reward” manifesting in her mind.
[Deep Red – Divine Punishment]
The pain gradually subsided, replaced by an unprecedented sensory experience.
Maryse could feel her brain surging with activity.
A flood of knowledge rushed in, a considerable amount of information that had previously been difficult to comprehend.
Maryse knelt on one knee at the entrance of the first floor hallway.
“Ugh, I feel nauseated.”
She slowly opened her eyes, and her perception of the world had changed. In that moment, her understanding of “reality” was completely overturned and rewritten.
“So that’s how it is.”
Maryse now possessed a color called “Divine Punishment,” which was a deep red hue.
This was a power that countless people dreamed of but could not attain.
“Is this the power of the King of Deep Blue? How many great entities are connected to the Babel Tower… I am becoming somewhat numb from the shock.”
“Even if you, the Savior, claimed to be the biological father of ‘Rainbows,’ I would believe it… Well, in that case, calling you ‘Dad’ wouldn’t be unjustified.”
Maryse muttered to herself and joked as she withdrew a coin from her pocket.
