Chapter 194: Queen of the Scarlet Moon as Well

Hearing the question raised by “Cybertyrant”, everyone felt that this was indeed a crucial “variable”. After all, he was referring to the legendary Queen of the Scarlet Moon!

A subtle and intriguing smile appeared on Bai Yan’s face. He didn’t answer the question immediately but waited for a while before speaking:

“We don’t need to be hostile towards the Queen of the Scarlet Moon… She has never been our enemy.”

What did this mean?

Alan frowned, sensing there was more to “Profligate’s” words than met the eye. Could it be that the Queen of the Scarlet Moon had joined forces with Babel Tower?

Amy, surprised at first, quickly nodded as she considered another possibility.

“Could it be like this…?”

Mu Ling, calm and composed, spoke up. “Actually, I’ve heard stories about the Queen of the Scarlet Moon since I was a child. She was the queen of the vampires in Tatsumi City, who had migrated there from the Eruo League with her tribe hundreds of years ago. Within the vampire community, she was considered a near-godlike spiritual leader and worshipped with reverence.”

Alan nodded in agreement. “Yes, the Queen of the Scarlet Moon holds a position of extreme power and influence. Even the Night Watcher from the Demon Hunt Agency dares not speak ill of her in front of the vampires in Tatsumi City. Doing so would surely lead to deadly conflicts. Those fervent vampires might even be willing to die for her.”

“So powerful?” Maryse exclaimed incredulously. “I thought she was just like Pastor.”

Alan shook his head. “In fact, there have been many over the centuries who were on par with the Queen of the Scarlet Moon—at least ten or more. But in the end, only she remained.”

“No matter the turbulence, natural disasters, upheavals, or catastrophic events that occur in Tatsumi City, the Queen of the Scarlet Moon always stands strong and unbreakable.”

“So, that’s how it is?” Maryse, with limited knowledge of the outside world, was only aware that while the Queen of the Scarlet Moon and Pastor were comparable in power, many considered her the true ruler of the dark world in Tatsumi City.

Maryse continued, “What guarantees her eternal dominance? Does she possess an exceptionally powerful Relic, or is it because of the strong collective power of the vampires?”

Mu Ling answered her question. “No, it’s neither of those reasons. It’s just because she, as an individual, is extremely powerful.”

After a moment of silence, Alan provided an example. “The ‘Emperor’ of the Imperial Guards of Eyes of the Empire is also extremely powerful and can perform ‘dimensional reduction’ against most enemies. But even he might not emerge victorious in a life-and-death battle against the Queen of the Scarlet Moon.”

“Absolute strength?” Everyone fell into silence. Such an existence would have a decisive impact on the future of the entire city.

Even if Nightsaber was promoted to Crown level transcendence, and with others possessing miraculous powers, they would still likely not rival the Queen of the Scarlet Moon.

Only Amy smiled, her perspective completely different from the others. She no longer saw the Queen of the Scarlet Moon as a problem or a hindrance.

Amy said, “From what I gather, ‘Profligate’ has some solutions regarding the Queen of the Scarlet Moon.”

Maryse asked in surprise, “Senior, are you planning to personally visit this world?”

Everyone considered this a viable solution. “Profligate” had fought alongside the Savior in countless worlds, and his true strength was immeasurable.

“No.”

Bai Yan immediately denied it. Then, he calmly looked at Amy, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and smiled, knowing that she would understand his meaning.

It seemed Amy had understood. She shook her head, sighed, and said, “What he means is that the Queen of the Scarlet Moon, like us, also has the potential to save the world.”

“Sooner or later, she will also become a member of Babel Tower.”

[That’s right.]

Just then, the great and mysterious Savior spoke up, which startled almost everyone present. A sense of absurdity and shock arose!

Will the Queen of the Scarlet Moon also stand as our ally in the future? She is the Queen of the Scarlet Moon, the legend of Tatsumi City and the Otherworlds—a figure from “fairy tales”.

Dark legend.

Mu Ling and Maryse, who had grown up listening to stories about the Queen of the Scarlet Moon, looked at each other. They felt this was too surreal, yet oddly enough, it was true.

Since the Savior confirmed it, it must be true. There was no doubt about it.

In an instant, a huge sense of superiority rose in Maryse’s heart. Even the legendary “Queen of the Scarlet Moon” was no match for her. In the future, even she would only be a member of Babel Tower, just like herself.

She would even have to call me “senior”!

Maryse squinted and began fantasizing about a time when the vampires would have to bow to her, with the Queen respectfully greeting her from above.

I am truly amazing!

Unconsciously, she started to feel happy.

Alan fell into complete silence, fully understanding one thing in his heart: in the face of the great Babel Tower, Tatsumi City would eventually bow down and pledge allegiance.

But it was impossible for him to persuade Mr. Trap to join Babel Tower!

If Lin Bian knew all this, he would be furious, saddened, and deeply disappointed in Alan. Alan struggled with his emotions.

He knew that in Lin Bian’s eyes, he was the captain who could take over any team, even become the next director of the Demon Hunt Agency in Tatsumi City.

If even he betrayed the Demon Hunt Agency… betrayed the Night Watchers…

Though Babel Tower was dedicated to saving the world, if Alan allowed it to swallow up the Demon Hunt Agency, he would be a shameful traitor.

What should I do?

All of Alan’s emotional turmoil was clearly seen by the “Savior” using psychic powers.

Bai Yan controlled his expression, revealing nothing unusual. He knew inviting the Demon Hunt Agency to join Babel Tower wasn’t urgent. It would be better to deal with the remaining four of the five great families first.

Then, inviting the Demon Hunt Agency might not even require Alan’s involvement… Alan didn’t want to be a “traitor”.

Such a psychological burden was unbearable for someone like Alan.

As for persuading Mr. Trap to accept the “invitation”… in some instances of the first playthrough, Mr. Trap eventually agreed to join Babel Tower. It wasn’t entirely impossible as Alan thought.

In fact, what the Night Watchers truly adhere to isn’t the “Demon Hunt Agency” concept, but something closer to Babel Tower.

Amy suddenly said, “Actually, I’m getting more and more scared now.”

“Scared?” Maryse asked, surprised. “Even the powerful Queen of the Scarlet Moon has become our ally. What is there left to fear?”

“That’s precisely why I feel afraid.”

Amy shook her head and calmly explained, “Everything the Respected Savior has done has been very urgent, constantly helping us become stronger, rapidly increasing our skills… If that’s the case, then our true opponent is probably an unimaginably powerful existence.”

“Perhaps, even if we try hard to become stronger, far beyond our imagination… it will not be enough to stop the world’s destruction.”

Bai Yan, with his “Profligate” demeanor, smiled without speaking, silently praising Amy in his heart.

No wonder she’s called “Cybertyrant”. As the Core Operator playing a leadership role in certain plot points of the first playthrough, her analysis was quite accurate.

To be honest, I’m eager to see you bantering with “Moon Witch” and “Truth Scholar”.

“Cybertyrant” possesses the greatest leadership abilities, but “Moon Witch” is the best at peering into human nature, and “Truth Scholar” stands at the pinnacle of knowledge.

Bai Yan silently conveyed his thoughts to everyone using “Savior”.

[Indeed so.]

[Your true enemy will come with unprecedented ferocity, unstoppable. Even if you grow increasingly powerful, it will still require your utmost effort to defend this world.]

[At any cost.]

“At any cost…”

Mu Ling silently nodded as she heard everything. She gazed at the “Savior” on the crystal throne, having made up her mind.

Respected Savior.

You gave me new life, restored my family’s glory, and set me on a loftier goal.

To achieve your great goal, even if it means sacrificing myself, I will not hesitate!
