Chapter 224: I Promise You
At the moment when the playing cards bestowed upon them by Outer God were destroyed, the immortality of the three powerful enemies was also lifted. Bai Yan knew that the Unsullied Saint must have died at this moment.
The Queen of the Scarlet Moon still stood there.
It seemed as though she was emitting an immense heat, causing the surrounding rainwater to evaporate in mid-air, unable to touch her delicate body.
The girl had a blank expression, her eyes lazy as if she could fall asleep at any moment.
However, that aloofness, detached from everything around her, was impossible to hide completely.
At first glance, she appeared to be almost a perfect girl in terms of appearance.
Yet, absolutely no one dared to provoke her—this utterly domineering and fearsome presence, who always had the final say and had been well-known for years.
After Alan asked a question, she turned around to look at him.
Like a raging fire, a terrible pressure overwhelmed Alan in an instant, as if he were being crushed by a mountain.
He immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word to her, drenched in sweat.
He was certain that this was the Queen of the Scarlet Moon that only existed in stories.
Lin Bian had once told him that she was an entity to whom he should surrender immediately, without even a chance to escape.
The Queen of the Scarlet Moon spoke.
“Profligate, our dealings are settled.”
Her meaning was clear. From now on, Babel Tower and she had nothing to do with each other.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
This bloodline king, so domineering, clearly had no interest in outsiders. In her perception, all life forms other than her bloodline were irrelevant.
“So that’s how it goes.”
Bai Yan stared at her calmly for a long time, an obsession that had been brewing for several months surging in his mind.
“Well, just wait. After everything ends tonight, you won’t be able to sever the connection with Babel Tower anymore.”
“I can definitely draw you.”
“So hungry…”
After disappearing from everyone’s sight, the Queen of the Scarlet Moon’s body began to shrink, and two small, smooth feet stomped on the ground.
She, now appearing to be only six or seven years old, ran into an alley with a blank expression, dragging her oversized black clothes.
“That Profligate has a very greedy look,” she muttered to herself.
“Next time, let’s eat him.”
Alan let out a deep breath and asked in confusion, “Mr. Profligate, is it over?”
“It probably hasn’t ended yet.”
Bai Yan looked at the deep pit below and heard a terrible echo.
The man known as ‘the Undefeated’ had already sacrificed himself, and with the power of the Outer God, it was clear that he could not fall so easily.
If the Queen of the Scarlet Moon were to unleash her own power without restraint, she could easily kill him.
But if she did that, she might end up consuming everyone in the area.
That was why she had been holding back.
The beat of the soul reverberated.
Deep underground, Ramos, who was about to break apart completely, heard the beat of his soul amidst blood and despair.
In a daze, he gradually remembered something.
“So that’s how it is…”
No wonder I’ve always felt that both the fate of Yin and Mu Ling have been manipulated.
This was the price paid by Yin, using the Civilization-level Relic “Apollo’s Arrow” to injure the Vampire Queen for himself.
“Adding a cruel connection in life…”
Only now, as he was dying and gaining the power of Outer God, did Ramos understand how the “cruel fate coincidence” between Yin and Mu Ling had been destined.
In truth, the two of them were probably just ordinary classmates. They didn’t share a deep bond—they simply knew each other.
However, the price of the Civilization-level Relic had altered their relationship and even changed everyone’s memories.
As Ramos reflected on the truth, he felt his body begin to change.
It was a horrifying transformation, evolving toward a monstrous form.
“Hmm…”
This was the end.
The Queen of the Scarlet Moon’s overbearing blow had left him unable to fight normally.
Now, he could only be the incarnation of a monster, destroying everything in his path.
“Tao Wu, Yin. The rest is up to you.”
Bai Yan, on the ground, suddenly felt something. He took out a silver-white throwing spear from somewhere and calmly handed it to Alan, who stood nearby.
He said very casually, “The lucky moment of fifteen minutes isn’t over yet. In the last minute, you just have to throw the spear and you will win.”
Under normal circumstances, this blow wouldn’t be able to kill the Undefeated Ramos, who had turned chaotic.
But the current Ramos probably had the power of the Apocalypse level.
However, he could no longer maintain the curse of absorbing luck, which meant…
Alan’s god-like luck would take full effect!
With this blessing, Gungnir would surely kill with just one blow!
After saying that, Bai Yan realized Alan was frozen in place.
“Uh?”
Alan shook his head and said nostalgically, “It’s nothing, sorry. It’s just that your tone a moment ago reminded me of someone.”
It felt familiar. That person was also like that—always willing to do this and that without hesitation, occasionally blaming themselves…
Bai Yan knew he had been too familiar with Alan. He shook his head slightly and said coldly, “Hurry up, we don’t have much time.”
“Okay!”
However, at the moment Alan caught the silver throwing spear, he suddenly knelt down.
He looked at the artifact in astonishment, feeling its weight press his hands to the ground.
“I… I can’t use it. It seems to be refusing me.”
So that’s it—there are hidden usage conditions?
Bai Yan fell into thought. However, it seemed he could use Gungnir freely.
An increasingly terrifying aura began to emanate from the ground.
They quickly became alert and saw a massive creature emerging from the earth.
Accompanied by a hoarse, despair-filled roar!
It was no longer the Undefeated Ramos, but a completely transformed chaotic monster—like a vast sea of sludge, with a sticky, nauseating stench, flesh rotting and festering wounds covering its body, eyes full of blood vessels, writhing tentacles, and a voracious blood-sucking mouth.
This thing was no longer “the Undefeated” Ramos but a vessel carrying the power of the Outer God.
An indescribable aura spread throughout the city, and countless people felt the terrifying power it represented. The intangible sense of oppression left Alan’s mind confused and his blood frozen.
“Well, I’ve come up with a solution.”
Compared to Alan, who could barely stand, Bai Yan remained unaffected.
He crouched down and reached out to grasp Gungnir with Alan.
“Let’s go up together.”
The terrifying monster roared, its wriggling tentacles seeming to want to devour everything around them. But for some reason, Alan’s mind was clear at that moment.
He could feel that this last strike would undoubtedly win the battle.
So, Alan stared at the monster alongside Bai Yan and even asked:
“Senior… What exactly is the Babel Tower that we joined?”
Is everything we did in the past, are doing now, and will do in the future truly correct and just?
The reason that drives me to fight is not power or interest—I really need an answer.
“I don’t know,” Bai Yan answered seriously, a rare moment of solemnity.
Alan smiled bitterly and opened his mouth to taste the rain.
“So even Mr. Profligate doesn’t know?”
Bai Yan took a deep breath and said, “Perhaps the Babel Tower is just a tool manipulated by some behind-the-scenes figure to control us. Or perhaps it’s the final hope to save the world, or even… the Babel Tower is an Outer God itself.”
“However, no matter what Babel Tower truly is, I hope you can believe in that person… that Savior… he will not disappoint you all.”
“He assured me,” Bai Yan smiled.
“It is essentially equivalent to assuring you all.”
Since the beginning of the Tatsumi City capture, Alan nodded and suddenly smiled.
“Well, it all sounds like not the answers I wanted, but it seems to truly soothe my heart… indeed, I am the kind of person who needs to be guided forward.”
“Thank you, Mr. Profligate.”
At this point, Bai Yan roared loudly,
“Charge!”
The two took a deep breath and threw Gungnir in their hands together!
“Let’s end it!”
The rain had stopped unconsciously, and the stars above kept shining, celebrating the will of the two to fight against the Outer God!
A silvery spear flew over the chaotic monster, straight toward the sky!
Countless people in Tatsumi City saw the meteor piercing through the sky!
Mu Ling and Maryse lifted their heads beside the huge crystal, looking up at the starry sky.
The Queen of the Scarlet Moon in the alley also turned her head and stared at the meteor, lost in thought.
On the rooftop of Demon Hunt Agency’s building, the smiling white-haired witch also gazed at this scene.
It transformed into a white meteor and joined the galaxy, then fell from the sky and directly hit the grotesque monster on the ground!
The sky and earth paled as the pure white torrent destroyed all evil, and the Undefeated’s already incomplete soul dissipated in one absolutely precise strike.
Everything was purified, the monster’s flesh and blood completely dissipated, turning into sparkling light in mid-air.
The next moment, the pure white spear returned to Bai Yan’s hand.
At the same time, he felt his stomach had disappeared halfway. Fortunately, thanks to the Blood of Darkness, it could be easily restored.
“Huh.”
Alan sat down and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
He looked at Profligate in front of him and said happily,
“Great, Bai… Mr. Profligate, we did it! Hahahaha!”
“Hmm.”
“We did succeed indeed.”
Bai Yan nodded gently, standing amidst the glittering debris, holding his spear.
The reliable figure made Alan realize that this man couldn’t possibly be Bai Yan… that person had become ordinary—far more ordinary than Profligate.
Bai Yan remained silent for a moment and slowly spoke,
“However, the events of tonight are not yet completely over, as the battle in a certain location is still ongoing.”
“There are still variables.”
Demon Hunt Agency building.
Underground, seventh floor.
The golden slime, already battered for half a day, tried to fight back. Though its attacks had slowed significantly, Tao Wu, who never dodged, was still increasingly injured by the golden tentacles’ strikes.
These golden tentacles had attack power far stronger than normal!
The ‘White Angel’ was cooperating, launching powerful barrages with magical attacks.
But Tao Wu was truly a monster through and through!
Even though his body was covered in wounds and blood poured from him, he silently continued fighting.
Is there really no way to stop this guy?
Amy was also shocked by the opponent’s overwhelming vitality and willpower.
“Don’t worry. If I am correct in my guess, the Savior has the ability to foresee the future…”
After some pondering, Amy cheered on Mr. Trap and the slime through her mecha.
“We will definitely have reinforcements.”
Tao Wu remained silent as he slowly advanced, preparing to strike again at the worn-out white mecha.
He intended to completely destroy the mecha with this blow.
“I may have arrived a little late.”
At that moment, a delighted voice came from nearby.
Tao Wu immediately became alert.
The voice continued,
“Mr. Trap, hello. Except for Lin Bian, I had to stabilize the injuries of everyone else… You should thank me for my kindness.”
The Moon Witch, a stunning woman with white hair, appeared smiling beside Mr. Trap.
She squinted and said,
“My master… That person sent me to assist, but it seems I’m a bit late.”
“I am very sorry.”
