Chapter 310: A Bountiful Harvest! Open the Champagne!

[Reluctant]

[I am so reluctant…]

Having stayed in the Noah’s world for tens of thousands of years, Noah had been diligent in his search. Recently, he finally locked onto the specific location of “Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used.”

Jealousy, ever cautious and meticulous, did not act immediately. Instead, it spent extra time investigating whether there were any seals or guardians around the Relic.

But before it could make its move, just one or two days passed, and an inscrutable man appeared at the Tulip Manor.

Jealousy, with its powerful psychic abilities, could read the thoughts of 99% of people. However, it could not penetrate the mind of Viscount Edmond, the man at the Tulip Manor.

It immediately deduced that this person likely possessed a powerful soul, one that had attained at least the “Creation Realm” level—an opponent of the “Apocalypse” caliber.

For a moment, jealousy hesitated. It did not act right away.

Instead, it sent Hidden Azure to the Tulip Manor for reconnaissance. Sure enough, this man was formidable. So, Jealousy restrained itself and bided its time, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Then, the earth-shattering Doomsday Crisis occurred. Jealousy had initially planned to seize the Relic during this time.

However, the sudden summoning of the leader of the “Tower” organization forced Jealousy to retreat from the Noah’s world.

After the Doomsday Crisis, when the sinners fled in droves, Jealousy reported Viscount Edmond to the Knights of the Divine Blade.

Unfortunately…

That fool named Chris did nothing more than a routine check and was easily deceived!

Now, Jealousy found itself cornered, with no choice but to forcibly take “Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used” from the Tulip Manor.

The consequences were clear.

Whether it was that mysterious man, the vampire, or the girl from Babel Tower, none of them had reached the “Apocalypse” level. Yet, they all had the means to harm “Apocalypse” level experts!

Especially that vampire… For some reason, there was a faint trace of true divinity hidden in her attacks!

Why was this happening?

It shouldn’t end like this!

Reluctance filled Jealousy’s heart—reluctance, reluctance, reluctance, and more reluctance! It was absolutely unwilling!

Why should so much effort, manipulation, and bloodshed go to waste, only for the treasure to fall into the hands of the suddenly appearing Babel Tower?

This was unfair!

Deep within, Jealousy’s heart burned with envy. All its emotions burst forth, releasing an overwhelming energy.

The black-purple energy spread out, forming thick tentacles that began piecing together fragments of the “Mercury Mask.”

Countless terrifying howls filled the entire city!

These emotional energies, like malignant tumors, had accumulated here for over ten thousand years, fueled by the jealousy in people’s hearts.

Babel Tower had caused such an uproar that Jealousy could no longer afford to be discreet. Even if it died, it would drag the “Connector” down with it to the grave!

Otherwise, this endless jealousy would never calm down!

After using the miraculous “Sword of the Rainbow,” Mu Ling collapsed, her body drained. The “possibility” surrounding her was replaced with the normal timeline.

The “Sword of the Rainbow” was a finishing move—powerful but draining.

Mu Ling was too weak to continue the fight.

However, Jealousy was at the brink of exhaustion.

Red Fire Meteor!

The Queen of the Scarlet Moon descended once again from the heavens. Expressionless, she radiated terrifying power, rivaling the Apocalypse!

With a powerful stomp, she crushed the black-purple tentacles in the sky.

“Boom!”

With a devastating blow, all of Jealousy’s tentacles burned to ash.

“Roar!”

In that wail, Jealousy felt an unimaginable power.

“The God of Games!”

Instantly, the burning Queen of the Scarlet Moon shattered Jealousy completely, destroying its attempt to enter the “second phase.” It never had a chance to truly unleash its power.

Until the end, Jealousy remained aggrieved.

In another district of Annottales, a blue-haired girl with beast ears stood at a window, staring at the strange phenomenon outside. A special black spell in her soul faded away.

Kaluoer remained silent for a long time, finally allowing a faint ripple of emotion to pass through her.

“Mercury Ball… no longer exists.”

Jealousy’s body dissipated, finally dead.

In this moment, the Sword of Demons rose. It tried to enslave the soul of its opponent but quickly realized the power gap was too vast. It couldn’t do it.

“What a pity…”

Instead, it absorbed Jealousy’s soul as nourishment. The immense energy caused the sword to almost burst.

But this blade, born of pure evil, endured.

It emitted a pleased voice.

“What a powerful and delicious power… I am satisfied. Great savior, please call upon me again for such tasks.”

Next to the Scarlet Moon, the Sword of Demons’ voice now resembled that of a kind old man.

In a few days, after absorbing Jealousy’s full soul, it would soon reach the rank of Crown… This was the most terrifying part of the Sword of Demons—devouring power, absorbing energy, and enslaving souls.

Truly demonic.

“Hmph, another tamed dog?”

The Scarlet Moon sneered, observing the sword floating nearby. It was evident that the sword was reluctant to argue with someone stronger than itself.

She shook her head and glanced at Mu Ling, who was exhausted from her efforts. It would likely take her a long time to recover.

Somehow, this gave the Queen a strange sense of satisfaction.

She was different from them. She would never submit to the savior of Babel Tower. She believed in that firmly.

But, Mu Ling performed so well…

“Profligate,” that guy… would he let her drink his blood again?

The Scarlet Moon realized, with growing annoyance, that she couldn’t escape “his blood.” Something pure, unimaginable to ordinary people, had already settled deep within her soul. Even if she were reborn, she couldn’t escape it!

What exactly was this?

Though she didn’t know, she felt its tremendous power. She found herself growing fond of “Profligate,” and that feeling terrified her.

Her expression soured further.

She wasn’t “Profligate’s Spawn.” He was just her vending machine!

Hmph!

Mu Ling, exhausted, took a deep breath and regained some strength. She looked toward the Scarlet Moon, not smiling but nodding seriously.

“Not bad… as a member of Babel Tower, you’ve done well. Thank you, Scarlet Moon, for keeping your promise.”

The Scarlet Moon sneered, ignoring the compliment. The loyal dog’s praise meant nothing to her.

[Pick up the black crystal, Nightsaber.]

Mu Ling hesitated but then nodded, resolutely.

“Okay.”

She slowly rose and walked forward, grabbing the black crystal. A sharp pain coursed through her arm. But she held firm. This was what the savior wanted—it had to be important.

“The Scarlet Moon, we…” Mu Ling was about to speak when the air suddenly became dense with pressure.

Both of them—the Scarlet Moon and Mu Ling—along with the sword, felt the weight of it.

Who was it? Why was the pressure so overwhelming?

It was terrifying, on par with “Food,” but second only to the Chosen for Eternity, Glofield of the Apocalyptic Legion.

Perhaps only the “Demon of Justice” could rival this presence.

“Who is it?”

The Scarlet Moon crossed her arms and turned her head expressionlessly. Even under such terrifying pressure, she refused to bow as a king.

It was an old man in a black robe.

He was known by many names: the Incarnation of Dark Light, the Dark Night Oracle, and the spiritual leader of the Dark Light Church.

But most notably…

He was the strongest under the rainbow—the closest person to god in the world, Noah.

The old man fixed his gaze on them, then looked at the black crystal Mu Ling held tightly in her hands.

Calmly, he spoke.

“It, you must keep it.”

Impossible!

Mu Ling didn’t care about this god-like figure. She raised her sword, determined to act even though her head throbbed.

This was what the savior wanted—she must kill him first, then take it.

“Babel Tower, is your purpose simply to save the world, or is there another motive?”

The old man’s voice was gentle, strangely devoid of hostility.

“I don’t want to fight you… but I can try, with the power of Babel Tower’s savior…”

“Babel Tower’s savior, are you ‘the God of Games,’ the most violent disaster in the multiverse?”

The old man didn’t move, but three black light pillars suddenly surged from the ground, enveloping them both.

They were paralyzed, unable to use their powers. They were like birds trapped in a cage.

At that moment, a dense black mist spread, surrounding them.

The old man gazed at the mist in silence, deep in thought.

“The power of the Connector… It’s the first time I’ve observed it up close. Indeed, it is his power… but as I know, ‘a mortal who kills gods’ should have long perished.”

“Why is that?”

Just as the mist and light pillars were about to clash, the old man suddenly withdrew the black pillars.

“Fine, you can stay.”

His body disappeared, like a phantom. Only his voice lingered.

“At this point, I must make a choice, a gamble… Babel Tower’s savior, I am willing to believe in you. Our goals align.”

The Scarlet Moon took a deep breath, staring at the place where the figure had vanished, frowning.

“He left just like that? I’ve grown up hearing legends about him… never thought I’d meet him like this. He truly deserves the titles.”

The sword swayed slightly, its cold female voice sounding out.

“I can’t sense his desires… He’s strange, hollow.”

Mu Ling said nothing, holding the black crystal tightly in her hand.

The next moment, the black mist swirled around them, and they disappeared, along with the sword.

“I’m late…”

Suddenly, three figures in black robes appeared out of nowhere. They were the three brothers of the Dark Night Saint: “Judgment,” “Verdict,” and “Execution.”

At the end of last year’s internal meeting, the saints had decided these three would handle the Babel Tower matter.

Their goal: complete the oracle and destroy Babel Tower!

“Judgment” remained silent for a moment, then raised his head, confused.

“He should have arrived before us.”

“Why didn’t Oracle leave these Babel Tower people?” asked “Verdict.”

They exchanged looks, realizing there was deep meaning here.

Dealing with Babel Tower was the Oracle’s task. The Oracle couldn’t betray the will of God. It was impossible!

——

At Tulip Manor, Viscount Edmond silently sipped his tea.

The maid who had brought the tea bowed and left, though she couldn’t help but marvel at the strange events unfolding outside. But she forced herself to remain calm and composed in front of her master.

A good maid must maintain composure in front of her master.

Bai Yan took another sip of his tea, as if everything that had just transpired had nothing to do with him.

“Not bad… SSS-level perfect evaluation achieved,” he mused, though he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of worry about the power of the Dark Night Oracle. He hadn’t rushed out earlier, unwilling to face an impossible opponent.

Cunning was necessary when the odds were unfavorable.

If he died completely, everything would be lost.

Luckily, things went better than expected, and the old man didn’t press the two further, allowing Mu Ling, the Scarlet Moon, and the mushroom to slip away.

Though the reason was unclear, Bai Yan sighed in relief.

“Well, the strongest under the rainbow, the pinnacle of the era, has temporarily ceased hostility toward Babel Tower. It’s good news, no matter what.”

Compared to the rainbows that couldn’t be easily dealt with, the Dark Night Oracle was a far more difficult opponent!

Bai Yan smiled. Since the Oracle was well-intentioned toward Babel Tower, many things would be easier to handle.

He shook his head and checked the settlement rewards on his phone.

SSS! Perfect evaluation!

Basic rewards doubled, plus additional bonuses!

Mission 1: Defeat the “Mercury Ball” — 10 Awakening Souls, 5 Spirits of Revelation!

Mission 2: Eliminate all “Color Assassins” — 2000 Source Energy Points, 2 Spirits of Revelation!

Additional Reward:

Tactical Card: Immortality x1

Entertainment Card: Another Me x1

Entertainment Card: Happy Memories x1

Special Reward:

Ruin-level Relic: Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used!

The perfect evaluation raised the rewards by two levels, transforming a small side quest into a grand harvest.

Bai Yan’s fingers curled in excitement.

“Luck is on my side today. Let’s do a twenty-consecutive draw!”
