Chapter 223: Blood, Flames, and the Crimson Queen
In the dark, torrential rain.
The art style of both people suddenly changed.
Mu Ling was dressed in a white male tuxedo and had chic black short hair. She was riding on a humble unicorn, with a white knight sword firmly held in her hand.
Maryse was atop the head of a deep green cyclops dragon, clad in primitive tribal leather clothing that shone out against the dark night rain.
“The raincoat I prepared is totally useless now…”
With her hands crossed over her chest in silence, Maryse truly felt a little bit cold.
Fortunately, my physical condition has been enhanced; otherwise, I would have definitely developed a serious illness!
The green cyclops dragon at Maryse’s feet was massive, standing on the rooftop, and even the slightest movement caused it to sway, becoming dangerously unstable.
Its towering and terrifying head began to roar loudly!
“Roarrr!”
Maryse realized that every dragon she could summon was different; it seemed to depend on luck… Well, as long as she doesn’t draw that weak little dragon, it’s fine.
“Thank you, Respected Savior…”.
Mu Ling clutched the knight sword in her hand, glancing at her nearby comrade and finally realizing why she had been ordered by the Respected Savior to kill Yin. Only she can deal flawlessly with her undead body.
“Looks like you still have some new tricks up your sleeve.”
Yin, who was holding a longbow, remained calm and said quietly, “It’s meaningless… No matter what you do, you can’t kill me.”
“You’re wrong.”
Mu Ling rode on a snow-white unicorn into the sky and said, “I don’t need to kill you. At this moment, my new ability is your greatest nemesis!”
Yin frowned, and her INT started ringing alarm bells like crazy.
Although not quite sure what Mu Ling is up to, I must stop her!
She took a deep breath again and opened her mouth, wanting to release a shockwave.
Just then, a puddle of a special liquid was sprayed out by the one-eyed green dragon.
Yin’s onslaught was interrupted when the unpleasant green liquid poured upon her snow-white skin, causing corrosiveness and smoke. It is also slowing down her physical healing and recovery.
It’s poison.
“It does work, indeed.”
But I can dispel it.
Yin grimaced and began casting a healing spell, hoping to rid her body of the poisons that had infiltrated it. It took barely a few seconds. But at that time, a bright light flashed down from the sky!
Tatsumi City’s heavy downpour vanished in a second, leaving behind just blue skies. In the midst of the previous gloomy night, sunlight and a rainbow arrived suddenly!
The sky looks like daytime!
Many people in the city were shocked to see this scene.
“What is this!”
The incredible celestial phenomenon deeply moved Yin.
Although she didn’t sense if Mu Ling’s power had grown significantly, she gained momentum, exuded an aura similar to an Apocalypse-level powerhouse, and immediately altered the weather in this area!
Extraordinary powers in the fairy tale kingdom world always come with exaggerated special effects.
Yin didn’t know this.
She just felt that if this sword was swung, I’m afraid that both she and half of the city would be destroyed!
Mu Ling, what did you guard in the end?
“Even so, you can’t kill me.”
But how could a just person in the fairy tale kingdom have the power to kill someone?
Mu Ling rode a unicorn into the skies, overlooking from above, and lifted the knight sword in her hand high up.
At this moment, she felt the existence of the power of miracles!
“Light and Rainbow, grant me the power to seal evil!”
The sword emitted a ten-thousand-foot rainbow, yet it had no deadly power. Nonetheless, when Yin was exposed to the sound, layer after layer of solid crystal grew on her skin.
How could this be!
Yin desperately tried to struggle and break free from the crystal, but she couldn’t move an inch!
She attempted to take a deep breath but discovered that crystals had developed within her body, stopping her from storing strength and emitting shockwaves. Tao Wu could have melted and escaped, but Yin was unable to.
I see. So that’s why the Savior arranged for her to defeat me…Babel Tower. Yin realized at this moment that she was actually destined to fail here.
Each ‘possibility’ is a brand new set of abilities that will directly upgrade with the original version. This is the new skill of the Crown Level ‘Black Prince Nightsaber’…Crystalline Seal!
Undoubtedly, at this moment, Nightsaber is the most effective against Yin out of all Core Operators.
The sky, which had momentarily been bright, slowly reverted to blackness. Everyone in the city is stunned by the brief period of dawn that has just occurred, and they all know it is not an illusion!
It’s a miracle!
Yin’s body was wrapped in a huge crystal, unable to move, but she was still alive, like the most perfect work of art.
As long as the blessing of the Outer God is not broken, she can still survive.
Master, I’m sorry.
Please make our dream come true.
No.
Yin’s heart became selfish at this moment.
Please come to the real world… and meet me.
Do not sacrifice your soul.
—
Alan was slightly stunned and then turned around to see that scarlet figure in the dark, still about a kilometer away.
“Wait a minute, this enemy actually instantly spotted the Queen of the Scarlet Moon in the distance.”
Is it because of strong perceptual abilities? Or some other ability?
Bai Yan found a chair and sat down calmly, explaining with a smile, “He has been claiming that his precognitive ability has failed… but that is not the case.”
“He can still use the power of precognition.”
Bai Yan is well aware of this matter.
In truth, Bai Yan dispatched Mu Ling multiple times in the “Babel Tower game” to work with Tactical Card to kill Ramos alone, but it was discovered that others struggled to cope with Yin, and Mu Ling was also constrained by another gift from the Chaos Star that he had not disclosed.
That gift is called the ‘Cup of Binding,’ which is a disposable consumable that contains the power of the Outer God.
This will cause Deep Blue World and the Night Veil Bloodline to become completely ineffective, and coupled with the precognitive ability, Ramos can easily dodge Mu Ling’s attacks in advance.
However, Ramos was always able to take out the gift that restrained the enemy in advance to attack, which made Bai Yan wonder why he was able to “silence” Mu Ling before she had a chance to use Deep Blue World.
Obviously, there is only one reason.
His precognitive ability has not completely failed and can still be used in battle!
This doesn’t mean that the power of “the Undefeated” is stronger than Babel Tower, but rather it is due to the mechanism of the game.
During the “Babel Tower game” process, Ramos’s power will not be forcibly stripped, but outside of the “game in progress,” he is unable to detect Babel Tower.
Sitting quietly on the chair, Bai Yan smiled and waited for the drama to continue… Now that the Queen of the Scarlet Moon has arrived, with the combination of “Divine Destiny,” there is no need for him to go up and fight.
Just then, Ramos suddenly knelt down on one knee, realizing that his leg had become unsteady.
Alan was also stunned and didn’t understand why the other suddenly knelt down. Could there be a trick behind it?
Ramos hasn’t felt true fear for many years, but at this moment, he felt it again… the feeling of fear.
The man, his luck is still on the rise!
How is that possible?
Suddenly, the dust on the ground formed letters and provided a clue.
“Before the deity that can manipulate destiny, all mortals will eventually surrender. He, at this moment, is the son of destiny, possessing luck that you can’t reach.”
Ramos knew what it was, a clue provided by the prophecy spell he had cast beforehand.
This is a despairing and unattainable clue.
So if things continue like this, he knows he is already destined to lose.
Unless a sacrifice is made.
A lot of people join various evil organizations because it is simply too simple to become powerful by contacting the Outer God, not because they are oblivious of the danger and horror of the associated risk and taboo of the Outer God.
Just as Bai Yan previously concluded, compared to hard work, talent and opportunity are the main factors that enable extraordinary people to become stronger… If there is no talent, luck is not enough.
So the easiest way to become strong is to join some powerful mysterious organizations and let the big shots lead you.
Undoubtedly, the strongest backing is the Outer God!
Cult members can employ forbidden techniques to transport and use Relics for a cost. They can even sacrifice certain items to acquire blessings or even forcibly sacrifice a portion of themselves or their loved ones in order to quickly achieve sufficient strength!
Obviously, this is an advantage that ordinary extraordinary individuals don’t possess.
Sitting on the chair, Bai Yan discovered that all kinds of diseases and injuries on his body had improved. “A Moment of Strong Luck Like a Deity,” a tactical card that provides a single-person BUFF, had even started to transfer the residual power of luck to him.
It is indeed the strongest consumable Tactical Card.
Ramos tried his best to stand up but was completely powerless.
“Boom!”
The villa walls had crumbled with a thunderous crash, but Alan remained perfectly unscathed. With his back to the storm, he proceeded slowly towards Ramos, who was kneeling on one knee on the ground.
At this moment, he has an incredibly strong luck like a deity!
Ramos looked at it in astonishment.
Behind Alan, the night sky shimmered with a countless number of stars! They were sparkling brilliantly, as if they were blooming just for him!
In the next moment, the darkness unexpectedly disappeared, and the bright sky cleared up, as if it were daytime, with a gorgeous rainbow shining behind that man.
As if a heavenly god descended to the mortal world!
Finally, Alan’s good luck reached its pinnacle.
He calmly raised his hands.
“The Sun Anthem!”
This is a wide-ranging attack that cannot be avoided even with foresight!
The bright sunshine flashed on everything, as if the Sword of the Sun had fallen to the mortal world. Ramos was blinded instantaneously, screaming in anguish, and his body nearly burned.
Ramos realized he could no longer hold on as the cards inside his body were going to be destroyed. His last resort had to be used!
I am sorry, Yin.
From the moment I became the leader, it was destined that I could not accompany you in the real world.
I foresaw your sad encounter and that of many others, including Tao Wu. Despite having adequate capability, I chose not to prevent it.
I am just waiting for you to reach your lowest point and helplessly search for a way out.
All of these sacrifices should be worth it!
“But people like me are not really worth loving…”
In despair, Ramos remained resolute and let out a loud roar.
“Oh, the Chaos Star!”
“Grant me even greater power, enough to achieve my ideal strength!”
“I will offer up my soul! I will offer up my entire past and future! I only hope to open up a new world for this world!”
Blue light began to emit from his body.
The power of the Outer God is unfathomable, as it instantly restored Ramos’s body, and even the Son of Destiny, Alan, could not kill him in that moment!
The light faded away, and Tatsumi City receded back into the darkness of the night.
Sitting in the chair, Bai Yan understood that this was what they called… the Second Stage.
Ramos, his body glistening with blue light, reopened his eyes with a deep and profound glance. He could feel an extraordinary amount of power within and around him.
In the next moment, Ramos gazed upon the crimson color in the distance.
In the darkness, the Queen of the Scarlet Moon’s aura surged with an incomparable, dazzling brilliance.
It’s not just red; it’s blood. It’s not just flames; it’s burning. She just stands there, but her mere presence fills all her enemies with immense horror and fear.
“But now, I am irresistible. Even you cannot stand against me… neither the Queen of the Scarlet Moon, nor Profligate, nor the Saviour of Babel Tower! None of you can stop me now!”
I will entrust my ideals to them with this power!
To redeem humanity and usher forth a new world! Ramos remained motionless, lifted his palm, and fixed his sight on the fabled Scarlet Moon Queen.
At this moment, Ramos had the confidence to withstand the opponent’s attack!
She flew from the sky and instantly arrived at the villa, like a scarlet meteor.
“Boom!”
Tremendous blow!
With absolute domination, a punch sent Ramos far down into the ground, causing the entire villa to disintegrate and fall in an instant, followed by countless fissures and deep cracks forming on the streets outside!
However, the Queen of the Scarlet Moon’s actual goal is not to launch an attack.
Bai Yan and Alan stood unhurt amid the debris of the demolished villa, both staring in unison at this “reinforcement”.
Three black and white playing cards blowing in the wind and rain are now securely gripped by a fair hand.
It was also Bai Yan’s first encounter with the Queen of the Scarlet Moon in person.
Alan exclaimed in shock, “What’s going on? Queen of the Scarlet Moon, are you… are you really the Queen of the Scarlet Moon?”
Why don’t you appear like the Queen of the Scarlet Moon in the information?
Alan was already perplexed; it just didn’t match up. He knew Queen of the Scarlet Moon was a woman in her mid-twenties with a physique to rival the Unsullied Saint.
But in front of his eyes was an expressionless teenage girl who was only a few years older than Maryse. Her hair was as red and flaming as blood, and her ill-fitting black long-sleeved blouse draped loosely about her, unlike what a typical adolescent girl would wear.
A pair of brilliant golden eyes, clear and pure, glittering like stars. Just standing there, she eclipsed all of the surrounding beauty. This girl possesses an unmatched beauty that has never been seen before in humanity; anyone who dares to stare straight at her face will most likely be smitten.
Perfect creature.
Perhaps only with this kind of overly exaggerated vocabulary could accurately and sufficiently describe the kind of exquisite and beautiful creature she is. She simply has no peer, leaving minimal room for comparison.
Bai Yan knew very well why the Queen of the Scarlet Moon had shrunk and even knew that she could become even smaller. However, these things were currently not important.
What is important is to completely defeat “the Undefeated.”.
“Profligate, I’ve kept my promise.”
The Queen of the Scarlet Moon glanced at him with an idle expression, barely a trace of emotion on her face.
Her voice is harsh, icy, and overbearing, and she won’t put up with anyone challenging it. Three playing cards suddenly turned to ashes and dispersed when she lightly pinched them with her fair hand.
