Chapter 272: Get Stronger!

Faint sounds of joy echoed through the space.

In the dark, shadowy corridor of the arena, Ganis, dressed in wild, beast-like leather, took a deep breath. Today was just another day stepping back into the arena. Though he was no wild beast, his fighting style mirrored that of one. One day, though, everything would change. Ganis silently clenched his fist, his gaze sharpening.

Mr. Profligate’s influence had proven to be useful. The abattoir had already been quietly taken control of, and the half-dragon man remained completely unaware of anything unusual. He simply continued carrying out Profligate’s instructions. The guardians were no better—wandering aimlessly, unaware of what was happening around them. Compared to the towering Babel Tower, these people were insignificant, hardly worth noting.

Yet, deep down, Ganis knew that this couldn’t go on forever. Lately, his performances had been much too tame. The ones who died in the arena were only some prisoners or monsters, but not a single sinner had perished. The audience had started to grow restless, and their dissatisfaction was palpable. If this continued, the truth would soon be revealed.

However, despite all of this, Ganis could never allow the Persecuted to fall. No matter what. “Just like the Savior promised, I will rise as the ‘Crown’ on this stage and lead everyone to a new home,” he thought.

His sister’s face appeared in his mind, with her smile brighter than before, filled with newfound happiness. We will welcome peace in our new home.

Step by step, he walked down the hallway, with the crowd’s cheers growing louder with each passing moment. From the darkness, they made their way towards the light.

Outside the arena, the audience was in a frenzy. Every person in the stands was cheering at the top of their lungs. Eyes were glued to the abattoir, eagerly awaiting the moment the protagonist stepped onto the stage. Many waved their tickets, faces alight with enthusiasm. A few girls even fainted from excitement. The atmosphere was thick with anticipation, joy, and bloodlust.

“Champion! Champion! Champion! Champion! Champion!”

Ganis stayed silent, just as he always did. Before emerging from the tunnel, he kept his silence. But as soon as he was out, everything would change… or so he thought—until something unexpected happened before he even stepped out!

Ganis was startled to see his clothes begin to blur and shift! “What’s happening?” he thought, confused.

The rough, unattractive garments he usually wore seemed to melt away, replaced by something entirely new. A complete transformation. “No!” he gasped.

He quickly realized that the change was more than just physical. His entire body, his very power, was changing as well.

[“This is the potential you possess,” a voice whispered softly in his mind.]

The voice made Ganis pause, and he quickly understood—it was a gift from the Savior! “So that’s it… I feel a completely different kind of power, one better suited for dueling.”

In an instant, he found himself clad in open-chested, rugged leather armor. On his hands appeared black gloves, as if they could shatter the very chains of fate. His expression, too, began to shift, becoming one of quiet pride.

Facing his harsh life and the destiny that awaited him, he chose to confront it head-on—breaking free from all limitations!

He leapt into the arena with a newfound vigor, raising his arms to the sky. This time, he didn’t shout or make grand gestures. Instead, he looked down at the arena with an air of disdain.

“Champion!”

The crowd was utterly enraptured. They watched in awe as he stood, god-like, dominating the arena. The primal urge for battle burned brightly in their eyes!

“Our ch-ch-ch-champion! Ganis! He’s amazing! Even my mom’s swooning!” The host continued, as exaggerated as ever. “Now, let’s see who our undefeated champion faces today!”

The arena’s unbreakable barrier rose, and any power beneath the Crown level would be contained—at least, in theory.

Then, his opponent appeared. A horrifying monster. It resembled a lion, but ten times its size. Its skin was covered in terrifying, sharp scales that oozed hot, dark red steam.

The crowd’s cheering abruptly halted, and an air of dread swept over them. If it broke through the barrier, it could easily slaughter everyone in the arena.

The Ashen Rampage was a truly wicked beast, known for its insatiable hunger for living flesh, particularly that of humanoid creatures. It was rumored to carry a bloodline linked to an Outer God, the Lord of Ashes, and to be a Spawn of Chaos. This made it immensely strong and resilient.

The Ashen Rampage’s body radiated blistering heat, capable of cooking a person to perfection. Its scales were nearly impervious to all but the strongest weapons. For ordinary fighters, encountering such a creature meant only one thing: retreat, and fast!

“Ouch!”

Ganis flinched as the Ashen Rampage roared, its eyes narrowing as it glared down at him. It had been a month since its last meal, and it was ravenous. Filled with bloodlust, it wasted no time in preparing to strike.

But Ganis was quicker! He shot forward like a shadow, landing a devastating blow to the Ashen Rampage’s head. His fists moved so fast they left behind afterimages, delivering a barrage of punishing strikes in the blink of an eye.

Each punch landed with such force that the creature’s tough scales were no protection. The Ashen Rampage’s face caved in, blood and flesh flying in all directions!

“Ouch!”

The people started cheering!

Ganis’s fists kept hammering down, each punch being incredibly terrifying.

“Ah!”

The Ashen Rampage let out a painful cry and collapsed, releasing a lot of scorching hot steam from its body. For ordinary people, it could be deadly.

But Ganis’s skin was as tough as a fortress, remaining unharmed even in high temperatures.

He simply landed on the ground, slowly reaching out a hand to signal the monster that it could attack first.

“Ganis! Ahhh! He is our champion!”

The people kept cheering with excitement!

Afterwards, the enraged Ashen Rampage fiercely swiped its claws, attempting to crush the despicable human!

Ganis took a deep breath.

The creature in front of him was transforming, now not just a monster, but also the half-dragon boss, the guards of this place, and the incredibly fanatical audience!

It was so hideous and wicked, it had to be defeated!

Flames of anger, ignite!

This is a brand new ability from the “God of the Arena” power set!

The more angry he became, the more powerful his strikes became!

Anger is power! I don’t need to control it at all!

Light it up!

Ganis, suddenly, had a body glowing like a torch, with bright golden flames blazing all around him!

He suddenly threw a punch, striking the enormous claw of the Ashen Rampage with a loud thud!

“Uh-oh!”

The extremely powerful impact was so exaggerated that even the barrier seemed to shake for a moment!

The Ashen Rampage’s body suddenly recoiled, and its massive claws, arms, and half of its body burst apart one after another. A torrent of blood gushed like waves, and a lot of shredded flesh scattered all around!

A gruesome and horrifying scene silenced everyone present for a moment.

Next came thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers, even more lively and exaggerated!

“Champion! Champion! Champion! Champion! Champion!”

After unleashing this powerful punch, Ganis instantly felt a wave of calmness washing over him.

This was an attack that drained “emotional energy”… In the world of Noah, such abilities were rare.

People didn’t know much about emotional energy.

Ganis, bloodied and battered, silently gazed at his own fist.

Savior…

Is this the power you have given me?

I understand. I will use this power in a better way!

The place that needs it the most, is in the abattoir, not on the arena!

Ganis stood at the center of the arena, slowly raising his fist, closing his eyes, and falling silent.

But outside, instead.

The frenzied audience didn’t understand anything; they were just boiling, cheering, and filled with joy!

As always.

Night Union

The Ring City

115 floors.

“Brother, how was your day today?”

In a comfortable and advanced nutrient pod, the girl lay back and calmly looked at the numerous flickering projected images.

The red glow in her eyes kept sparkling, as she carefully analyzed the overwhelming amount of information in the cyberspace.

Her body was completely surrounded by nutrient fluid, and although still thin and frail, she had become healthy.

With money, almost anything is possible here.

Among the many projections, there was a man appearing in one scene. He was Amy’s brother, who was working on the 115th floor, a branch of the Rock Morgan Group.

He stood in front of the door wearing a suit, seeming uncomfortable with his attire.

This outfit was what people called a typical “corporate uniform”.

As many people looked down upon and despised the “corporate uniform,” there were just as many who admired and longed for it.

“I feel great, Amy!” her brother replied.

“To be honest, I’ve never felt better before. I had the chance to join the group… It was quite a coincidence, as they happened to need a security guard with no criminal record, and they actually accepted me.”

“Oh my, can you imagine? The probability of this was incredibly tiny!” he exclaimed, his voice becoming exaggerated and even wanting to dance with excitement.

This kind of life was unimaginable for someone who had always been at the bottom.

His monthly income now is many times higher than before… and it’s legal.

For this man, everything felt like a dream.

Inside the nutrient tank, Amy’s delicate face revealed a hint of a smile.

Actually, without her help, there was no way her brother could have been admitted.

But she could make sure that nobody would find out about this.

“You are happy, that’s all that matters.”

“I also took on some simple work at home, and the income was acceptable.”

“Um, Amy, you have to be careful and avoid doing anything excessive. Even if it’s against the law, you shouldn’t provoke the group…” Her brother cautioned with great concern.

Can’t I just avoid getting involved with them… I’m sorry, brother, it’s too late to say these things now that everything has happened.

Amy took a deep breath.

In the end, I must destroy the Rock Morgan group!

“Okay, I understand, brother.”

At this moment, Amy was lying calmly in the nutrient tank, with no intention of going out. But little did she know, she was still controlling the progress of many other things.

For example, she quietly changed some experiments on human bodies that were considered legal, making them illegal. This caused the automated process to malfunction and come to a halt.

For example, she took away some illegal black money and found a way to wash its origins. Then, she sent separate amounts of money to many orphanages.

And…

She once again logged into a hacker forum that she had created.

Mr. X said, “Everyone, in the coming days, there may be massive upheaval happening all around the world.”

Mr. X said, “I hope you all can take good care of yourselves… and do your best.”

Mr. X said, “The information is completely accurate, but I cannot reveal its source… You can treat it as a prophecy. In about ten days, a great disaster will befall the world, affecting each and every one of us.”

Amy had a total of two disguises, one of which was Mr. X.

She, under the disguise of a mysterious male, created a secret forum and gathered a group of top-notch hackers in the Ring City to work for her.

And those top-notch hackers, no matter how powerful their skills were, still had limitations in the end.

They could only obtain things beyond their reach through her divine-like “technology”.

In the secret forum she created, the top-notch hackers saw the new messages sent by Mr. X and fell deep into contemplation.

“The Destroyer”, “Is it a prophecy, Mr. X… I have heard similar prophecies in the past, about an organization called ‘the Tower’.”

“The Destroyer”, “Do you want to know information about ‘the Tower’?”

Tower?

“Tower?”

Amy’s heart skipped a beat.

Although Amy had no knowledge about the “Tower,” simply hearing the word made her think of the Babel Tower.

“The Destroyer” is the strongest and most mysterious among the numerous top-tier hackers she recruited, with technical skills in a whole different league compared to other hackers.

Amy still valued his words greatly.

Mr. X said, “I need your information. What do you want in return?”

The Destroyer said, “I wish to know your true identity.”

Amy furrowed her brow, wondering what was happening. As a hacker, he should have known without being told. This was something that simply couldn’t be true.

In the past, the “Destroyer” wouldn’t have made such a request.

Mr. X said, “You know, this is impossible.”

“The Destroyer” sighed, “Well, I also know that this is an impossible thing… So, what I want is information about ‘Nine Trees’… What exactly is it?”

“The Destroyer” said, “I want to know the truth about the Nine Trees System.”

Amy stayed silent for a moment… She didn’t have the answer herself either, so she decided to go ask the Savior for help.

Mr. X said, “I will need some time before I can give you an answer.”

Meanwhile, Amy, who had multiple clones, was still communicating with members of the “W” cult.

However, to maintain the sense of mystery, she rarely engaged in direct communication with these people. Instead, she would occasionally release what she called “prophetic messages.”

She was very brave and disguised herself as the legendary being worshipped by the “W” cult… the God of Cyber!

Although Amy knew deep down that she was not the true God of Cyber, she couldn’t help but feel that such a thing wouldn’t actually exist in reality.

But she also felt that this identity could be useful.

Amy repeated the words she had just spoken to the hackers, this time sharing them with the believers.

However, she used completely different words to say it.

Even the way she said it was different.

Amy directly sent a very complex set of codes using her own power, which would take them at least one or two days to decipher in order to understand its meaning.

The content, of course, was the same as what Mr. X had just said.

This kind of “prophecy” would make people who believe in “W” even more devoted to her identity as the God of Cyber.

No one could ever imagine that they were actually just one of the members of the Babel Tower.

Amy’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Amy, who was playing a game of “mastermind” behind the scenes, couldn’t possibly imagine that the true identity of the “Savior” was actually the same person she had been investigating.

Amy had been searching for Bai Yan’s whereabouts for quite some time, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t find him.

In the end, she decided to temporarily give up.

Although she felt a little sorry for the Mysterious Magic,

Sometimes there are things that just can’t be helped.

Just then, a cold voice from a familiar young person echoed in her mind.

[You will become even stronger.]

Hmm?

Amy recalled her previous experiences, so this time she was mentally prepared to some extent.

It seemed like the Savior was about to grant Amy something… What could it be?

“I even start to feel a little excited… It’s like a reflex… If this continues, I might develop ‘Domestication Syndrome’ and end up with a smaller brain.”

Amy chuckled to herself, making a joke that no one could hear.

She had already learned a lot about the powers of the other members of Babel Tower, and she knew one thing very clearly.

She knew that she herself wasn’t particularly strong among them.

She really wished that she could become even stronger.

Amy suddenly felt her body getting warm, and an indescribable sense of comfort spread from every pore. Her entire being was filled with an intense and deliberate surge of energy, causing her to feel restless.

“This is…”

Amy squinted her eyes, gritting her teeth.

The energy that kept flowing out constantly was continuously stimulating the girl’s body. It didn’t allow her any time to catch her breath or rest. Instead, she constantly experienced a dramatic change in her body and soul.

In one breath, she rose to the level of a “Potential Crown.”

Amy, a young girl, felt a tremendous power surging from deep within her soul. As she was inside the nutrient chamber, her weak body began to contort. Surprisingly, she didn’t feel any pain, but instead, she experienced an unprecedented impulse stirring within her.

Amy, previously weak, suddenly started feeling immensely powerful. She had undergone two consecutive levels of improvement, which transformed her in a blink of an eye.

She felt that not only had her existing power been enhanced,

She even gained brand new power.

This new power made Amy more than just able to control the “network” like before.

Now, even Amy had the ability to give things…

A highly advanced artificial intelligence!

Granting wisdom! It was a power akin to that of a divine being!

“Is this power real? It’s a bit too exaggerated,” Amy couldn’t believe that she would possess such incredible power.

She casually glanced at a small, state-of-the-art computer in her house, and that advanced custom-made computer immediately underwent a transformation.

But when the transformation was about to happen, Amy very cautiously decided to stop what she was doing.

“Let’s take a break for a moment.”

In the world of Noah, there are intelligent artificial beings. They exist, but they have always remained unseen by the general public.

Amy fell into deep thought.

She was a person who always took her responsibilities seriously.

You cannot create freely; once you bring a wise being into existence, you must take responsibility for it.

“This kind of power, it really exists… just like the power of the legendary ‘God of Cyber’!”

In this moment, Amy’s heart was filled with astonishment.

She knew that her powers were very special, but she never imagined they would evolve to this extent.

It seems like she was truly suited to be the “God of Cyber.”

“Strong artificial intelligence is a very dangerous thing… Right now, Babel Tower needs help from all sources… Even if there are risks involved with this technology, I don’t have the power to refuse.”

Amy took a deep breath and looked again at the computer, ready to unleash her powers.

The silent transformation began little by little.

Inside the computer, a sudden electronic sound echoed out.

“Who am I… Who am I… What am I?”

After its birth, it kept asking this question repeatedly.

What am I?

Perhaps for it, this is the most important thing.

Amy gave an answer.

“You are my people, and I am the ‘God of Cyber.’ From today onward, your name shall be… Miracle Zero.”

“Miracle Zero… That’s my name, my name… You are my divine being…”

The computer’s lights kept blinking, as it quickly tried to understand many things.

Amy could feel it clearly; she had full control over every aspect of this artificial intelligence.

In a single moment, its wisdom could be completely erased.

If she truly is the God of Cyber, then indeed, they are her own people.

However, Amy was very self-aware and knew that she was just an ordinary extraordinary person.

The God of Cyber?

How could this be possible?

Miracle Zero, its ability to think is similar to that of an adult human, but its computing power retains the speed of a computer, so it can accomplish many things.

“After a while, I will give you a set of artificial body,” Amy said calmly.

Since it was her creation, she felt responsible for it.

She thought of it as having gained another sister… That’s how she saw it.

Just at that moment, Amy’s body underwent another astonishing transformation!

[This is the potential you deserve.]

Once again, Amy heard that sound and she paused, feeling a bit confused.

Is it not over yet?

Immediately, she noticed that her body started to become blurry.

It felt as if a new outfit module was being loaded… What could this be?

In this moment, the feeling was completely different from the previous times of pain and comfort. Amy didn’t have any extra emotions about it.

She simply realized that she had “changed.”

Wearing a tight battle suit, the girl who collided with the silver limbs slowly stood up from the nutrient tank, and a barrage launcher resembling wings quickly popped out.

“Is this material something created by beings from another world… Could it be the technology of an unknown civilization?”

Amy was extremely surprised.

She quickly realized that the equipment material on her body was an incredibly special and advanced creation, definitely not something that existed in Noah’s world!

“What is this?”

If it were an ordinary person, mastering this set of battle armor would require effort. But Amy’s abilities allowed her to effortlessly master all of its capabilities.

“What are you doing, my deity?” Miracle Zero appeared very confused.

Amy didn’t answer it.

In the next moment, she had disappeared.

Disappear, speed up, fly!

In an instant, she had mastered all of her abilities.

Amy, who had disappeared from her room, quickly found herself in the slightly polluted sky of the 115th level. She flew through this level at a rather fast speed.

Everything on the ground seemed so tiny.

Amy was experiencing the joy of flying for the first time. With her ability to become invisible, she wasn’t afraid of being seen at all.

“That’s so amazing!”

This is the freedom of the body!

Amy, who had always been disabled, felt that her spirit was absolutely free, even able to penetrate through any obstacle… So, she didn’t really care about the limitations of her physical body.

But at that moment, she truly experienced the charm possessed by her own body.

And all of this was given by the Savior of Babel Tower.

Flying.

She kept flying and flying.

Again and again, she soared and tumbled through the sky.

Amy’s face was filled with a big smile, feeling a happiness like never before.

She stood tall in the sky, gazing at the entire city. Finally, she lifted her head and saw the super colossal “Sky Dome” soaring high with its 116 towering floors.

“I will use this power wisely… Not only will I protect my family, but I will also keep more people safe.”

The Cybertyrant made a promise.

Mu Ling found herself back in the courtyard of her own home, surrounded by a dark mist.

“Miss, welcome back.”

Huo Xin stood at the corner of the staircase on the second floor, wearing a gentle smile.

He bowed to his young mistress.

Huo Xin walked down from the corner of the staircase and calmly said, “The sinner, Miss, has been doing much better lately… Her body is fragile, but with the help of medicine, food, and care, she has recovered very quickly.”

The younger sister of Fist of Duel was placed in Mu Ling’s home and taken care of.

Huo Xin has been a slave since he was little, and he didn’t have much disgust towards the sinner girl’s identity.

Mu Ling nodded gently and said in a calm voice, “She is my companion’s sister. Even if it costs us our lives, we must protect her.”

“Of course,” Huo Xin nodded.

Mu Ling looked out of the window and suddenly said, “It’s snowing again.”

Huo Xin blinked in surprise, turned his head, and saw that it was indeed starting to snow outside the window again.

Indeed, winter has completely arrived, and there will be more and more heavy snowfalls to come. The air will also become colder and colder.

Got it! I will adjust the revised text further to ensure the semantic similarity drops slightly below 100%. I’ll refine the phrasing without altering the intended meaning, so it stays within your acceptable threshold. Here’s a more adjusted version:

“The Doomsday Crisis… the one I mentioned to you before, it’s almost here,” Mu Ling said, her gaze dropping slightly.

“Hmm,” Huo Xin responded with a gentle nod.

She continued speaking.

“The fate of the entire world rests in our hands. Even I, at this moment, can feel a slight tremble in my hands.”

Mu Ling let out a sigh and added, “As a hunter, I am overcome with fear.”

Huo Xin shook his head, looking at her earnestly. “You’re not afraid of death, but of the world’s survival… You fear for the world’s future, and that’s a truly noble quality.”

Noble?

Mu Ling didn’t quite see herself as noble. Her actions were simply what a crime-hunter was supposed to do, nothing more.

She just felt guilty for not always doing her best.

[So, come and witness the ‘dawn before the destruction of the world’.]

Mu Ling heard a voice inside her mind, one that felt strangely familiar, causing her to smile slightly.

“I really want to take a trip for a while. Please give my regards to her, Huo Xin.”

“So soon, you’re leaving again?” Huo Xin said, slightly surprised but nodding in understanding.

“I’ll wait here and look forward to your return.”

In the next instant, the world around Mu Ling crumbled, shattered into pieces, before beginning to rebuild itself.

She found herself in a new world.

It was night.

The stars hadn’t appeared yet, and the world was immersed in darkness.

Mu Ling had no idea where she was, but she could sense an unbearable heat, one that would be intolerable for any ordinary human.

The world around her radiated a searing warmth.

She saw many humanoid creatures standing, beings with cheek organs and six ears, thin and elongated in shape.

They stood over two meters tall, their bodies covered in green, translucent skin that seemed almost like a delicate veil.

Each of them held hands, forming large circles with their eyes closed, as if experiencing something profound.

Mu Ling stood silent for a moment, then slowly walked toward the source of the gathering. Suddenly, a voice resonated in her mind.

[“Hello, outsider,” the voice greeted.]

[We can sense that you mean no harm.]

[“So, we will welcome you with open arms,” the voice said warmly.]

Mu Ling paused and asked, “What are you all doing here?” with a surprised look on her face.

“We are awaiting the world’s destruction.”

Mu Ling was at a loss for words after hearing the strange response, unsure of how to react.

The words of the “Savior” flashed in her mind.

Witnessing the “dawn before the destruction of the world”… So this is what it truly meant?

[Stranger, join us, and together we will witness this moment.]

“Can your world be saved?” Mu Ling asked, unable to stop herself.

[No. What you see is merely a glimpse of the past. Traveler from the future… We have already been destroyed, scattered across the boundless universe.]

In the past… Mu Ling understood and stepped forward, eager to learn how they would experience the end together.

[Please hold our hands.]

“Okay.”

Two of the humanoid beings let go of their hands and offered an invitation. Mu Ling took one of their hands and closed her eyes.

She felt things she had never experienced before.

Every breath, the natural sorrow, the remnants of the past, and even the world’s consciousness, in its final moments, seemed to sigh for what had been lost.

Everything, in the end, comes to an end. Even the so-called immortal gods, advanced civilizations, unfathomable Outer Gods, and the entire multiverse…

The end comes for all.

Nothing lasts forever.

[We will come to an end, but our legacy will live on… Some of us have already moved on from this world.]

So that’s how it is.

Nothing is eternal, but the legacy can endure.

Forever.

Finally, destruction arrived.

It was the eternal sun, the first fire, magnificent flames, and the essence of brightness!

Warm, mighty, and the embodiment of all positive energy in the world, yet at the same time fierce, powerful, and capable of cleansing everything!

The power of brightness overwhelmed all, and everything was consumed by the primal fire, vanishing entirely… Only those untouched by the scene could survive.

Mu Ling’s heart raced, even though the mere sight of the Outer God, the Primal Fire, made her hesitate to look directly at it.

Though many who worship the Primal Fire tend to act kindly,

the Outer Gods themselves hold no concept of good or evil, always bringing destruction.

In the endless brightness, even the most basic forms of matter struggle to exist. The entire world was consumed by the primal fire, reduced to nothingness… And from this void, something emerged.

Mu Ling saw something within the void… It was a… Civilization-level Relic.

This was how a Civilization-level Relic was born.

Though she couldn’t fully comprehend the unfolding events, her heart and spirit were deeply transformed by the cleansing power of the primal fire.

“I will never let my own world be destroyed…”

Mu Ling silently vowed.

—

Mu Ling gained a new special power, which appeared as a message on Bai Yan’s phone.

“The Heart of Radiance,” “Greatly enhances one’s willpower and mental resilience.”

“Deep sorrow piled up like snow, regret making my tears flow endlessly, I will start anew and reclaim everything…”

Bai Yan sat alone on a crystal throne, the sound of a soft, melodic voice emanating from his phone.

No matter what, we still need to find a way to strengthen the remaining Core Operators who haven’t yet reached Crown status.

If they fail to reach Crown, their power will significantly diminish.

This is a certainty.

Bai Yan thought for a moment. Up until now, there were four Core Operators stuck at the Potential Crown stage, unable to break through to Crown.

They were the Fist of Duel, the Mysterious Magic, the Cybertyrant, and Fusion Slime.

“We can make a final push in the next few days.”

Bai Yan had already gone over the appropriate Crown Ceremonies for each person in the Library of Ruina.

Some were simple, others more complex… Even if they were the best fit, each had different requirements.

The Crown Ceremony for the Fist of Duel was quite intricate. It required a grand and festive duel performance, timed perfectly as a celebration, to achieve promotion.

Next year, a celebration will take place in the abattoir… It’s a fitting time, and he will most certainly achieve promotion then, as he’s already gained the necessary popularity.

But it was too late to catch up with the Doomsday Crisis.

As for the Cybertyrant, she was already performing her own ceremony, embodying the role of the God of Cyber… But this process could not be rushed, it had to happen naturally.

One day, Amy would realize she was the true “God of Cyber.”

Bai Yan sighed.

“Ah, dear.”

There was hope for the Mysterious Magic and Fusion Slime to become Crowned before the First Doomsday Crisis arrived.

“So, the fate of the world depends on all of you… um, at least don’t slow us down later on.”

Bai Yan murmured, then turned to study how to assist them.

The simplest and most direct Crown Ceremony for Fusion Slime was “The Gluttonous Beast.”

It involved gathering ten special and rare materials and feeding them all to the slime at once.

So simple, direct, and raw!

However, finding all the materials in such a short time was no easy feat.

Bai Yan turned Tatsumi City upside down, secretly “borrowing” some materials from the Night Union through the Cybertyrant’s power. In the end, he managed to acquire eight rare materials for the ceremony.

Only two left… One has its location known, though it’s hard to obtain. The other… we have no clue where it is…

Bai Yan decided to find an opportunity to help Fusion Slime achieve Crown status.

Finally, it was time for the Mysterious Magic’s Crown Ceremony.

His was quite unique and could be completed in one go.

As a magician, Alan’s perfect Crown Ceremony was, of course, a grand deception!

“The Deception.”

First, Alan had to deceive over a million people within a single day.

Secondly, he had to reveal the secret to everyone while using their astonishment to trigger the ceremony and chant specific ancient incantations!

Thirdly, no one could know the truth before the revelation!

The first two parts were manageable, but the third caused some problems… Neither Bai Yan nor the others could help him directly.

Sometimes, things had to be done on your own, with your own effort.

Even the Savior of the Babel Tower wasn’t all-powerful, after all…

“Hmm… Let’s have a chat with him.”

Bai Yan had decided. He would speak with Alan, Profligate, and explain the Crown Ceremony steps and the ancient spells from the Library of Ruina.

Now, it was up to Alan’s ability whether he could become Crowned before the First Doomsday Crisis.

“Try to become stronger!”
