Chapter 286: Summoning the Future!
A few minutes ago.
Tatsumi City, Platinum Zone.
The underground palace.
The body of the Head of Destruction was tremendously massive, yet moved at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.
He could instantly transform himself into a gaseous state, moving as swiftly as a gust of wind!
“Die! Hahaha!”
The Head of Destruction laughed loudly, swiftly swinging the heavy hammer in his hand, and smashed it down towards the young man in front of him.
The raging wind danced along, as if the terrifying power was materializing and roaring.
Bai Yan calmly watched this scene, without a trace of fear in his heart. Instead, he started thinking about other things.
Deep Blue World.
“Fist of Duel” was already in danger.
Bai Yan, while freezing time, pondered on what to do.
Things had come to this point, and he could only help “Fist of Duel” and “Fusion Slime” while battling the colossal creature before him.
“Hmm, we need to find a solution for you quickly.”
Gorgeous Moonshine.
Time had not yet returned to normal as Bai Yan gently wielded the silver longsword in his hand.
It transformed into liquid silver flowing, resembling the radiant moonlight, as it struck down upon the fearsome creature before him!
Even a civilization-level relic can have varying degrees of strength.
Using the “Scourge of War,” Bai Yan wielded the Gorgeous Moonshine, an undoubtedly powerful weapon among the civilization-level relics! Even though the “Scourge” may not possess the same strength as the original version, it remains highly practical and useful!
“No foe could escape his blade.”
This was the Civilization-level Relic, Gorgeous Moonshine, that the Ultimate Witch had once used.
The silver moonlight sliced through the flesh!
They ventured deeper and deeper!
The Head of Destruction was immensely colossal, fortified with enhanced strength, and Mu Ling, despite exerting all her might, could not shake its formidable body. However, it was effortlessly cleaved apart by Bai Yan’s sword.
It split in two!
The frozen world returned to normal.
“Darn little rascal!”
The Head of Destruction, upon discovering the changes in its body, roared loudly.
His immense body was thus severed by Bai Yan’s “Radiant Moonlight”!
Mu Ling and the Scarlet Moon were both extremely shocked to see this scene.
They all knew that Profligate was powerful, but they never expected that he could sever an extraordinary being of the Apocalypse level with just one strike.
This man was truly stronger than expected.
And Mu Ling cared a lot about something.
Sure enough, Profligate possessed extraordinary powers similar to his own.
It should be the bestowal of the Saviors.
However, the Head of Destruction had an incredibly strong vitality; severing him didn’t result in his death.
In the next moment, something extremely terrifying happened. Even when his body was cut in half, he didn’t die immediately. Instead, he transformed into a gaseous state and reformed.
There were no longer any injuries.
“Hahaha!”
The Head of Destruction, completely unharmed, chuckled ominously, his tone filled with mockery towards the feeble.
“I am an immortal monster, I am the most terrifying monster, your weak power cannot defeat me at all! Helpless! Hopeless! You ants!”
The Head of Destruction, who claimed to be the most terrifying monster, stepped forward with gigantic strides. The palace quivered beside him, and the air grew increasingly scorching.
“Die! This is my grand funeral gift to all of you!”
He opened his arms, his body continuously expanding, burning hot, until it finally shattered into pieces.
A continuous flow of fiery red magma burst out from within him, instantly flooding the palace like a rushing sea.
The power of material transformation is extremely terrifying.
In a way, this is the power of the Creator to command the world.
In the hands of an Apocalypse-level transcendent being, they were almost omnipotent.
In an instant, scorching magma engulfed the magnificent throne within the palace, the sturdy and dignified stone pillars. The intense heat seemed to symbolize “destruction” itself as it quickly approached the three individuals present.
Mu Ling furrowed her brows deeply, muttering to herself,
“He actually turned himself and the surrounding air and rocks into magma… How can you possibly kill magma?”
The next moment, she waved the sword in her hand, using a Rainbow to counteract the surging magma in front of her.
Mu Ling soared into the ceiling as the unicorn let out a neigh.
The Scarlet Moon, on the other hand, remained completely unflinching, only able to calmly gaze as the magma surged towards her.
The heat of the magma ranged between 700 and 1200 degrees Celsius, and although the intensity would cause the Scarlet Moon’s body to be torn and wounded, it wouldn’t be fatal.
However, the Scarlet Moon didn’t know how to defeat an enemy that could constantly change its form.
Among the people present at that moment, only Bai Yan knew what to do.
Can we kill the magma?
There is a solution after all!
Even if the enemy can incarnate into everything, there is a kind of power that can reduce them to ashes!
Black flames burned, slowly rising in Bai Yan’s palm, giving birth to an intensely twisted aura.
It landed on the magma.
An extremely peculiar scene unfolded. The black flames began to devour and burn the magma incessantly. The sea-like magma surged towards Bai Yan and the Scarlet Moon, incessantly boiling, struggling, and distorting.
The flames are burning in the magma!
After releasing the Mystical Power, Bai Yan immediately used a spell to make himself float above the magma, avoiding being burned by the fire.
Meanwhile, the Scarlet Moon calmly gathered the power of Scarlet Blood within the magma, bravely enduring the terrifying heat with her strong body.
The pitch-black Fire that Burns Everything surged rapidly and incessantly, gradually burning away the magma until it disappeared without a trace.
The Head of Destruction was finally forced into humanoid form, wailing amidst the Fire that Burns Everything.
“Ahhhhhh!”
The Head of Destruction, covered in a multitude of black flames, was continually consumed and eroded. It relentlessly tried changing into different forms, yet discovered that no matter what it transformed into, it could not halt the relentless burning.
This is the flame that burns everything.
The arch-nemesis of all substances in the world.
“Lord of Ashes, it is the power of the Lord of Ashes! Why! What exactly is your Babel Tower? Is it righteousness? Evil? Or something even more unpredictable?”
The Head of Destruction, filled with immense pain, had a menacing expression as he did something extremely terrifying.
He transformed the surface of his body into liquid, leaving it behind, while the rest of him retreated.
Just like taking off a piece of clothing, he shed his skin, which was engulfed in black flames from head to toe.
Standing amidst the surging molten lava, the Head of Destruction transformed into a grotesque giant, covered in bloody flesh. Inside the scorching palace, his skinless form appeared incredibly eerie.
But in doing so, he managed to rid himself of the relentless erosion of the Fire that Burns Everything.
“Die!”
His skin not yet fully healed, the enraged Head of Destruction swung his heavy warhammer once again, fiercely striking towards Bai Yan who stood upon the burning surface!
The speed was simply too terrifying, Bai Yan couldn’t even catch a glimpse of his figure.
But Bai Yan, however, was able to react in advance.
Because he had already bestowed upon himself the power of “foresight”!
This was the forbidden magic that Alan had learned from the Undefeated, which allowed him to foresee what would happen next.
A silver moonlight flashed by.
In the next moment, the body of the Head of Destruction was once again severed!
And yet, his attack missed, completely failing to strike Bai Yan even a bit.
He, however, didn’t suffer any harm from it. In fact, of all the previous attacks, only the Fire that Burns Everything had truly wounded the Head of Destruction so far.
“Ridiculous!”
The section that was about to be sliced open transformed into liquid, then quickly merged back together, as the immense body of the creature healed once again.
The voice of the Head of Destruction was hoarse and icy, resembling a demon king emerging from the darkness.
“Despicable foolish person, you are nothing more than… a dying ant! Your struggles here are so laughable and powerless! Even if you defeat me, so what? It is the chaotic fate that has destined to wipe you out completely!”
The Fire that Burns Everything.
Bai Yan didn’t bother to respond to the provocation from the other party, instead, he once again unleashed the Fire that Burns Everything.
The Head of Destruction, engulfed in a wild blaze of pitch-black flames, burned fiercely and surged with great intensity.
“Only this kind of Fire that Burns Everything, still cannot kill me, haven’t you just tried it? Hahahaha!”
The Head of Destruction, in the midst of pain, instead burst into angry laughter.
He planned to use the same trick again, sacrificing the newly grown skin.
Even though this process was incredibly painful and terrifying, it truly allowed the Head of Destruction to successfully overcome a crisis.
At that moment, a new blaze of pitch-black flames ignited upon his body, and the Fire that Burns Everything intensified its speed and range, multiplying in an instant!
“Damn it! Why?”
The Head of Destruction, screaming in intense pain, sensed a deadly presence and suddenly saw a frail figure suspended upside down on the ceiling not far away.
That was… “Alan, Mysterious Magic.”
Well done. Just moments ago, Bai Yan had unlocked a new power as the Savior.
Summon!
“The Savior sent me!”
Although Alan wasn’t fully aware of the situation, he immediately dove into the battle.
He hung upside down on the ceiling, hearing a voice resonate deep within his heart—the voice of Mr. Profligate.
Realizing that at this very moment, only the Fire that Burns Everything could defeat the enemy.
“I will annihilate all of you!”
The Head of Destruction roared, its voice deep and ominous, like a monstrous creature from ancient times. The sheer sound of it caused the palace to quake, and it was only a matter of time before it would crumble to dust.
“Oh light and Rainbow, bestow upon me more power!”
At that precise moment, Mu Ling once again summoned her sealing power.
She swung her sword!
A magnificent Rainbow illuminated the underground palace once more.
Crystals sprouted from the body of the Head of Destruction.
“Vile insects!” Already consumed by rage, it felt helpless under the continuous onslaught.
Even though it could only remain trapped for a few moments, those moments were enough to shift the balance of the battle.
The Fire that Burns Everything, swelling in intensity, completely enveloped the limbs and bones of the Head of Destruction, slowly consuming them.
“Boom!”
With an earth-shattering sound, the Head of Destruction broke free from the crystal seal using all its strength.
In that instant, he suddenly saw a Queen of the Scarlet Moon rise from the magma, adorned with wings on her back and dressed in crimson blood garments.
In her hand appeared a jet-black ring, which she pointed toward the looming giant.
The Scarlet Moon calmly unleashed an overwhelmingly dreadful and despair-laden power.
“The Scourge of War… the Despair of Nigehod!”
A jet-black radiance shot out, rapidly engulfing the body of the Head of Destruction. This power was not only deadly but also had the ability to suppress extraordinary abilities.
The underground palace, unable to bear the weight, collapsed into ruins.
The Head of Destruction’s innate ability, “Material Transmutation,” was suppressed as the Fire that Burns Everything and Nigehod’s despair slowly dragged him toward the abyss.
Even the mighty “Undead Monster” found itself trapped in an utterly perilous situation.
“Hahaha! Even if you defeat me, it won’t matter!”
As it neared the edge of despair, its laughter remained scornful, deep, and hoarse, filled with hatred and disdain for everything as it roared on!
“Glofield! Chosen for Eternity! He is an indomitable force you can never defeat! He is a presence you cannot overcome! All your efforts will be in vain, as I will await you in the depths of hell! I will wait for the world to descend into utter chaos and destruction! Hahahaha!”
At last, the Head of Destruction was completely consumed by the Fire that Burns Everything, and the massive underground palace collapsed entirely.
The Scarlet Moon gazed towards the Platinum Zone, where buildings had collapsed due to a massive earthquake. She inhaled deeply.
“Is it over?”
Alan, Mu Ling, and the Scarlet Moon had arrived in the Platinum Zone above ground, though Alan’s whereabouts were unknown.
Only Bai Yan knew where he was, having summoned himself back to the strategic point.
Bai Yan looked at the Scarlet Moon seriously, knowing she sought an answer from him.
“I also wanted to say ‘everything is over,’ but things are not that simple. The Order of the Troublemakers is not the true enemy of Babel Tower… Glofield’s ‘legion’ has just arrived.”
He paused, took a breath, and then continued, “The Fist of Duel, right when we were battling, perished.”
“And, there is now a terrifying enemy near the Psychic Dancer… a foe even more dangerous than the Head of Destruction. But the Savior will find a way to deal with it.”
Psychic Dancer, Maryse?
Mu Ling hesitated, her gaze clouded with concern as she looked into the distance. She remained silent, lost in thought.
She silently prayed for victory for her half-elf friend.
Maryse.
The Savior will bless you, and this time, you will surely survive.
One minute ago.
A strategic location, Tatsumi City wilderness.
Maryse nervously watched the enemy in the distance, then turned to Mr. Profligate beside her, seeking reassurance.
Bai Yan’s incarnation stood at that very spot.
He stared at the formidable enemy ahead, knowing it would be nearly impossible to defeat her with just his and Maryse’s combined strength.
Several dozen meters away, a tree-like figure with deep blue skin, standing at over two and a half meters tall and possessing feminine features, hovered mid-air.
Her body emitted a pale blue light, floating effortlessly in the air, captivating everyone’s attention, as though this “being” had an unparalleled allure beyond all measure.
“I am the Evolver,” she declared.
“I am a strategist and commander in the ‘Legion.'”
Her voice, as sweet and melodious as the sounds of nature, resonated gently, possessing a bewitching magic that captivated the heart and soul.
“Surrender, mighty beings of Noah’s world.”
“Join the army of Chosen for Eternity under King Glofield’s rule. This is your only way out when facing the Doomsday Crisis.”
Maryse shuddered slightly, her lips growing pale.
She turned to Mr. Profligate, her voice quivering with fear, “Mr. Moriarty, in this situation… there’s no way we can surrender, right? This is bad!”
Of course, Bai Yan knew that Maryse would never surrender. Her words were likely an attempt to break the tension, but he felt a playful urge to tap her on the head.
However, the “Evolver” before them was undeniably a formidable force.
He could feel it.
She was an “Apocalypse.”
These powerful boss-level monsters, appearing one after another, were colossal challenges Babel Tower needed to face head-on.
In fact, the two of them had already engaged in a battle with the Evolver.
Her innate power was formidable, capable of causing anything she touched to undergo “rapid evolution!”
The wilderness surrounding them, a mountainous area, was now filled with rocks and plants that had been “rapidly evolved” by her.
They had transformed into towering monsters, some hundreds of meters high, wriggling nearby. These creatures had many eyes, all focused on Bai Yan and Maryse.
Each of them possessed immense strength.
Bai Yan believed this was just the beginning of what the “Evolver” could do.
She had yet to move a muscle, showing no signs of stress, while effortlessly creating an army of powerful monsters. Clearly, she wasn’t the least bit fatigued.
When the option of surrender arose, Bai Yan knew with certainty.
With only his incarnation and Maryse’s abilities, defeating the “Evolver” would be an impossible task.
Additionally, he couldn’t spare any help for other locations, as multiple battles raged simultaneously.
“I can only keep drawing cards… if the ‘lucky’ card has been used, then I have four left from five… Gallard…”
Bai Yan took a deep breath, leaving three cards to deal with Glofield, the Chosen for Eternity. It should be enough.
He needed to play a card to address this situation.
Which one should he choose?
If he made the wrong choice, it could jeopardize the outcome of the entire Doomsday Crisis.
“It seems you are not willing to surrender.”
The Evolver’s voice echoed once more, still holding that indescribable charm.
“Since you resist, you will perish along with this world. Perhaps, this is the destiny of the weak.”
She continued her calm narration.
“The endless world will eventually end.”
“No matter how much ‘Origin’ and ‘Ritual’ struggle, they cannot erase ‘Termination.'”
“The end was written long before the beginning of all things.”
“And before the end, we discovered the essence of chaos, an animalistic nature that never fades.”
“This will guide us toward the path we seek.”
Her words seemed to hold hidden meaning, and Bai Yan committed them to memory, but he had no time to ponder.
Now, he had made his decision.
So, it was time to play this card.
Bai Yan took a deep breath and spoke with conviction:
“I don’t understand everything you’re saying, but I know this: the Savior of Babel Tower will save this world.”
Maryse, still fearful but resolute, stood beside him. She was startled for a moment.
She suddenly felt a voice stir within her heart.
Who are you?
Wait a moment…
Is this… my own voice?
[The first and final encounter… the me from the past.]
