Chapter 190: Son of the Sea King · Mysterious Magic
Although it was already midnight, Alan didn’t go to sleep on this day.
The energy of Transcendentals is always very strong. Theoretically, Alan, who is already at ‘the awakening level,’ can stay up for twenty-seven consecutive nights without sleep.
Players like Mu Ling, who specialize in physical abilities, can go even longer without resting and without affecting their energy. However, she still rests on time like an ordinary person—it is just a biological habit.
They had already become different from ordinary people long ago.
Alan sat on his bed in his pajamas and began using the Babel Tower exclusive forum established by ‘Cybertyrant.’
He couldn’t find any clues about Bai Yan’s whereabouts alone, so he finally decided to put the information about Bai Yan on the Babel Tower forum and use everyone’s strength to find him together.
Although he would have to pay something, he didn’t mind the costs as long as he could find Bai Yan.
Mysterious Magic: Anyone here? Who is interested in helping me out? I am willing to offer a lot of points. This matter is very important to me.
Psychic Dancer: Can you be more specific? I can’t help you with something like stealing someone’s girlfriend.
Mysterious Magic: ……
Nightsaber: I should be sleeping at this time. I just finished drinking hot milk. I’ll check your message history on the phone tomorrow.
Psychic Dancer: You are such a good kid. Early to bed and early to rise, exercise more… Wait, is this the secret to growing up?
Nightsaber: Hmm, thank you.
Mr. X: I don’t think she was really praising you. Well, okay, you can take it as a compliment… at least the second half of the sentence.
Alan felt that these girls were turning this place into a “girlfriends’ chat group.”
He quickly steered the conversation back on track.
Mysterious Magic: Here’s the thing. I have a friend… also in Tatsumi City. One of his friends has recently gone missing, so he asked me to help find his missing friend.
Psychic Dancer: That ‘friend’ of yours who lost his friend… is it really you?
Mysterious Magic: No, I’m just helping to post the request. It’s for my friend’s friend whose name is ‘Bai Yan.’ He suddenly went missing during the Dark Light incident, and the Savior said he’s no longer in Tatsumi City but not dead. My friend wants to confirm his current situation.
Psychic Dancer: Bai Yan? I’ve never heard of that name before, and it sounds like a pretty silly name. Alright, I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Mr. X: Well, I’ll also use various monitoring methods to help you find this person in Tatsumi City.
Mysterious Magic: It’s not me who’s looking for this person, but rather my friend who is looking for him.
Psychic Dancer: Oh, if you say so, then it must be.
Mr. X: Are you in a romantic relationship?
Mysterious Magic: …… Bai Yan is male, and I am also male.
Mr. X: Sorry, I forgot that talking about this in the Air Alliance can be offensive. So, is it not allowed for males to be in the Air Alliance? However, such relationships are common in Night Union, and even more complex relationships abound.
Psychic Dancer: Mr. Magician, actually, I am very curious about your true identity. Should we schedule a meeting soon? After all, we are both in Tatsumi City.
Mysterious Magic: Nevermind.
Psychic Dancer: It’s okay, I don’t mind. Even if you’re as ugly as sin, it doesn’t matter to me… Actually, I have recently met with ‘Nightsaber’ and ‘Profligate’ seniors.
Mysterious Magic: You should understand, I really don’t want to reveal my true identity.
Thanks to the presence of Psychic Dancer, the forum chats became very lighthearted, yet the members of Babel Tower also grew closer.
After submitting the assignment, Alan shook his head lightly, put down his phone, and let out a sigh.
He only hoped that this way, he could find Bai Yan.
At this moment, he suddenly froze.
Alan discovered that his pajamas had turned into a blurry mosaic!
What’s going on?
A situation never seen before!
[Mysterious Magic, this is the new possibility given to you.]
He heard that familiar cold and merciless voice, but he was relieved because he knew it was another strange event caused by the Savior’s appearance.
“So, what will happen…”
After a while, Alan was completely stunned!
Something quite outrageous had happened—his pajamas had actually disappeared! His white underwear had become a loose pair of blue swimming trunks that he had not intended to wear.
Afterward, blue runes appeared on his arms and chest, as if they were a special kind of totem.
What on earth is this?
“Is this a joke? What’s going on here?”
Alan stood up from the bed in disbelief, really wanting to question his Savior if he had made a mistake…
No, since it was done by that Savior, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
He raised his arms and carefully examined the blue patterns.
“The secrets should lie within the mantras inscribed on my arms and chest. Hmm, this appears to be some kind of special spell, but it is not listed in the knowledge that I have learned… Could it be a product of another world?”
For some reason, Alan gradually understood the meaning behind the blue patterns on his arms and chest.
Totem.
The so-called totem is not only a picture but also a symbol, belonging to the extraordinary category of ‘ritual’ itself.
Alan felt a powerful force that was different from before.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and fully felt the rhythm of nature.
The blue totem lit up.
All the faucets in the house had opened automatically. Water flowed continuously from them, then flew out and into the room where Alan was.
They kept condensing in front of Alan until they finally gathered into a tall water elemental—a shapeless mass of liquid with a blue core inside, constantly absorbing water from around it.
Did he summon a water elemental with his newfound power?
Alan was briefly puzzled.
No, it was not so.
Alan could sense the difference and tried again. The water flow gradually changed into a plant he had never seen before, composed entirely of deep blue liquid, slowly floating in mid-air.
Technically speaking, Alan should not have been able to know any specific information about this plant, but new knowledge surged in his mind.
Spirit of the Sea.
This was a very special and extraordinary kind of plant that specifically feeds on various toxins and secretes a special psychoactive substance that can enhance human vitality.
Then, this extraordinary plant from the ocean turned into a pool of floating water in mid-air, transforming into a new creature…
A beautiful mermaid wrapped in water, with colorful and exotic scales covering her body.
She started singing as soon as she appeared on stage.
Her clear, ethereal, and pleasant voice carried a bewitching effect, making listeners completely intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
Bai Yan was watching all of this on his phone through the live stream feature, feeling a bit surprised. Then, he clicked on the information about “Water World · Mysterious Magic.”
“Water World · Mysterious Magic”
The limited-edition swimming trunks, adorned with ocean totems on the arms and chest, perfectly complemented his now even more sun-kissed physique.
In this timeline of “Mysterious Magic,” he was no longer a Night Watcher but instead a son of the sea, adopted by the mighty Sea King.
Special effect: Upon activation, it grants extraordinary power from “Mysterious Life,” summoned through liquid from the Sea of Fantasy.
Surprisingly, as the Sea King’s son, he had the ability to call forth various beings from the Sea of Fantasy.
Bai Yan understood this well. After watching for a while, he switched the live stream to another Core Operator’s channel.
Muling, exhausted from her daily training, slept soundly with a blindfold on.
Maryse played games for a while before turning to gaze out the window in the direction of the Platinum Zone, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, “Cybertyrant” Amy wasn’t asleep. Instead, she was scouring the internet for information on “Psychic Ion Ray.” Bai Yan knew little about it—only that it was connected to psychic power.
As for Fusion Slime… it remained in a massive container, undergoing various tests and experiments conducted by Professor Bai Lan.
“R21, how did you communicate with the people in the Air Alliance city after you arrived?”
Without hesitation, Fusion Slime responded:
“Look at me, look at me, and look at me again! I will devour you!”
Professor Bai Lan was stunned.
“What? I’m asking what you actually said to them!”
“Look at me, look at me, and look at me again! I’ll eat you up!”
Professor Bai Lan frowned, his patience wearing thin. He pressed a button on the console.
“Are you seriously threatening me, R21? It seems I have no choice but to punish you.”
Fusion Slime felt wronged. Those were its exact words—why couldn’t the professor understand?
“Whimper…”
Bai Yan couldn’t help but find the scene amusing. He shook his head slightly after checking in on all the Core Operators.
At that moment, a strong feeling surged within him—
A sense of achievement.
The Babel Tower he had painstakingly built was no longer just a vision. It was now a formidable, mysterious organization with real influence.
This wasn’t just a game anymore. It was something that truly existed, something that could change the world.
Yet, the Babel Tower was still far from powerful enough to save the world. There was a long road ahead.
But if things continued like this…
No, simply continuing wouldn’t be enough.
Gazing at the Golden Palace floating in the sky outside his window, Bai Yan sank into deep thought.
Then, he murmured to himself:
“Perhaps it’s time to shift my perspective—time to actively integrate the unstable forces within this city.”
