Chapter 202: “Nightsaber” Unboxing and Field Test
At this moment, Mu Ling exuded a demeanor she had never possessed before.
Her flawless form merged with the darkness, and the unfathomable depth in her gaze became an irresistible allure.
Mu Ling, a ruthless goddess born of the shadows, showed no mercy for sin. She brought death and calamity to all destined to meet their end.
With the reawakening of the Outer God’s power within her, Mu Ling’s Plane ascended, marking a dramatic promotion unimaginable under normal circumstances.
For most sub-Crown transcendents, their existence is confined to the material world. Few exceptions exist across the vast realms of Noah.
But now, Mu Ling’s presence in the universe had shifted.
She was no longer a mere speck of dust.
Her dark, profound soul had undergone a dreadful, essential transformation.
The world of Noah was forced to acknowledge her existence—or perhaps, to fear it.
Mu Ling knelt in calm reverence. No matter how powerful she became or how much her past faded into obscurity, her loyalty remained unchanged.
Bai Yan understood her heart well. Among the Core Operators, she was undoubtedly the least tested and his most reliable blade.
Now, with her newfound strength and the power of the “Deep Blue World” bestowed by Babel Tower, her ability to face a foe like Pastor was unquestionable.
Despite this transformation, Mu Ling’s emotions remained unshaken. She had spent too long immersed in the endless night, and her feelings had dulled over time.
But she hadn’t fallen into despair or lost herself completely. The side effects were not permanent—she just needed time to recover her emotions.
In that moment of clarity, Mu Ling realized something with absolute certainty.
The Savior—though he never said it—cared for her safety.
With this understanding, she silently vowed:
“I must repay the Savior tenfold for all he has done for me. I will remain his blade, cutting through the darkness of night.”
[Nightsaber.]
[You have done very well.]
[In the future, you will face monumental challenges, navigate crises, and uncover paths through despair. Master your new powers without delay.]
After these words, the Savior, Bai Yan, vanished into the shadows.
Mu Ling slowly rose to her feet. Her gaze, filled with unwavering admiration and trust, followed his departure.
“Understood,” she whispered resolutely.
Without hesitation, she turned and disappeared into the darkness. In the blink of an eye, she was gone, leaving no trace behind.
The gates of Herendor stood silent, as if nothing had transpired.
Back at the villa, Bai Yan returned to find Sylve diligently practicing spells. Each movement and pronunciation was precise.
After some adjustment, Sylve had grown more ambitious and disciplined. Though lacking in talent, her determination had become her defining trait.
Bai Yan appreciated hard work, and her transformation from “useless” to “competent” was undeniable.
Observing her efforts, he allowed himself a brief smile, though it was unintentional.
Sylve noticed her mentor’s return and immediately stood to bow respectfully.
“Mr. Moriarty, I am practicing magic. Is there something you require?”
“You’ve done well,” Bai Yan replied, shaking his head. He dismissed her and retreated to his room.
Sylve, relieved, noticed a pastry left on the table—a small gift from her mentor.
In the solitude of his dark
room, Bai Yan took out his
phone. Opening the Operator
list, he tapped on
“Nightsaber’s” profile.
“So, you’ve been promoted to
Crown, my Nightsaber,” he
murmured.
Excitement coursed through
him. The accelerated
progression of his second
playthrough of Babel Tower
was evident. He recalled the
struggles of his first run, where
he lacked a single Crown-level
ally during the First Doomsday
Crisis.
Now, however, the situation
was vastly different. With
sufficient early accumulation,
the later stages of Babel Tower
promised to be significantly
easier.
Yet, an inexplicable sense of
unease lingered in his mind.
Would the challenges of this
second playthrough mirror the
first, or would they escalate
beyond imagination?
Pushing the thought aside, Bai
Yan shifted focus to
evaluating Nightsaber’s newly
acquired strength.
Opening Nightsaber’s updated
character card, he reviewed
her attributes, skills, and
abilities in detail.
Her power was undeniable, a
transformation so significant it
bordered on the unimaginable.
However, her “Awakening
Soul” enhancement had
become ineffective, requiring
new materials for further
upgrades.
With anticipation, Bai Yan
tested her abilities, immersing
himself in the sheer force of a
Crown-level transcendent.
Every movement, every
sensation, reflected a new
pinnacle of power.
From manipulating internal
organs to folding steel like
paper, her physical capabilities
were unparalleled. Her
perceptive abilities extended
beyond human limits,
capturing the faintest sounds
and movements within her
vicinity.
The “Deep Blue World” and
“Dimension of Darkness”
abilities further cemented her
as an unstoppable force. The
former froze time; the latter
provided an escape into a void
beyond reach.
Bai Yan couldn’t help but
marvel. With her current
strength, Nightsaber alone
could dismantle the Demon
Hunt Agency in Tatsumi City if
ordered.
As dawn approached, Bai Yan
prepared for the Babel Tower
meeting. The ten-day
preparation period was over,
and the time had come to
expedite the integration of
major families.
Standing in the dim dining
room, Bai Yan contemplated
the future. Nightsaber’s growth
signaled a new chapter in their
journey, but challenges lay
ahead—challenges that would
test their limits and redefine
their destiny.
And so, with determination
etched into his heart, Bai Yan
awaited the next move.
