Chapter 311: Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used
Bai Yan now had over 2,000 Source Points at his disposal, enough for four ten-pulls. Just the thought of it filled him with satisfaction.
However, he wasn’t in a rush to summon right away. There were other matters he wanted to attend to first.
First, Bai Yan allocated the seven Spirits of Revelation currently available in Babel Tower.
Among the eight members of Babel Tower, two were already part of Potential Apocalypse, two hadn’t yet reached the Crown, and the remaining four were lower-ranked Crown members or had intermediate strength.
He knew the closest member to Potential Apocalypse was undoubtedly the “Sword of Demons.” Bai Yan could directly promote it to Potential Apocalypse in one go. But after some thought, he realized that since the “Sword of Demons” could level up through the “human-devouring” flow, there was no need to waste Spirits of Revelation on it.
Thus, the first to be ruled out was the “Sword of Demons.”
Since it could upgrade by itself, using Babel Tower’s precious Spirits of Revelation would be a waste.
“The remaining options are the little guy, Ganis, and Alan.”
Next, he dismissed Ganis as a choice. With two strong combat units already, adding another melee fighter like Ganis would provide little benefit. Babel Tower didn’t need another powerful physical member right now.
“The situation is clear—it’s either the ‘Psychic Dancer’ or ‘Mysterious Magic.'”
One specialized in psychic powers, while the other was a top-notch all-rounder. They were somewhat opposites in this regard.
After contemplating their practicality, Bai Yan realized that “Psychic Dancer” would be useful in all non-BOSS battles, whereas “Mysterious Magic” fell short in comparison.
“If ‘Babel Tower’ were just a game, I might have chosen you, Alan. But in real-life situations, the little guy’s abilities are incredibly useful.”
That unique feeling of “ravaging” society was something unforgettable.
He used six out of the seven Spirits of Revelation on the little one, instantly raising her “Revelation Degree” to over sixty, reaching the upper rank of Crown.
Maryse might still be asleep, but she was already taking steps toward true strength. Of course, she hadn’t been idle lately. She was now not only an extraordinary being at the upper rank of Crown but also possessed maxed-out skills and abilities, along with powerful Relics and Mystical Power.
Against enemies below the Apocalypse level, Maryse was more than capable of holding her own.
Perhaps because she had already mastered so many skills, after reaching the upper rank of Crown, the “Psychic Dancer” character card didn’t gain any new abilities or Traits.
However, all the Attributes on the “Psychic Dancer” character card had greatly increased, almost doubling.
The three Primary Attributes had doubled, and the overall increase in strength was likely more than double!
Bai Yan realized something important: the members of Babel Tower had truly stepped up their game, primarily due to the Crown Ceremony acting as a bottleneck.
In the world of Noah, the situation was the same. The number of Potential Crown members exceeded the number of awakenings, and the number of Potential Apocalypse might be close to the Crown level.
Many struggled to reach Crown level through a proper Crown Ceremony.
As for those aiming for the “Apocalypse” level… even with luck, effort, talent, and resources, they might still fail to take the final step.
The last “ingredient” for the Slime Crown Ceremony hadn’t been found yet. However, Bai Yan had learned through Projection that it might be located in the “Arrival of Paradise” instance.
As for the suitable Crown Ceremony for the “Cybertyrant,” Bai Yan had already pinpointed a highly-promotional one, but there was a time restriction. It could only be conducted in half a month.
“Then, there’s this… compared to all the other rewards, this is clearly more valuable.”
He took out a black crystal from inside the Babel Tower.
Bai Yan squinted in his study, feeling an extremely powerful force—indescribable and completely different from any power he had sensed before. He seemed to see a forge that would never burn!
“Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used.”
One of the twenty-seven Ruin-level Relics in the multiverse!
The power it possessed was absolutely terrifying. Bai Yan knew that “Moon Witch” carried a Ruin-level Relic, allowing her to contend with Apocalypse-level individuals even at the Crown level.
When Tao Wu, the middle-ranked Crown, was killed, “Moon Witch” hadn’t even reached Crown yet.
“So, what use do you have?”
Bai Yan took out his phone and checked the information provided by Babel Tower.
“Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used”
Ruin-level Relic
Relic Effect 1: Residue Extraction – Can extract ‘Element’ from any ‘remnants’ and ‘ruins.’
Relic Effect 2: Transformation of All Things – Can transform dead objects touched into Relics.
Relic Effect 3: Element Injection – Can inject ‘Element’ into dead objects for strengthening.
It sounded like a powerful ability, but the description seemed simple—just a treasure of “enchantment” and “waste utilization.” Still, considering it was linked to the Ruin-level Relic of the “Mysterious Heart,” it should be something exceptional.
After pondering for a while, Bai Yan decided to test it immediately.
First question—what exactly were “remnants” and “ruins”?
He tried using “Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used” to touch a teacup and used the power of ‘extraction.’
No effect… it seemed like nothing happened.
But then, the power of “Transformation of All Things” activated!
The teacup suddenly emitted a faint red color. This redness settled, transforming into a peculiar symmetrical pattern at the bottom.
“Digital World.”
A white light flashed in Bai Yan’s eye, and he immediately knew the name and effect of this Relic.
Strange… the Relic already had a “name” as soon as it was transformed.
Could this “name” come from the Outer God, granted by the Mysterious Heart?
“Red Cup, ordinary Relic. Effect: Turns any liquid into red tea, but the price is that the person who puts liquid into it cannot urinate for a day.”
Bai Yan stared at it for a moment, his expression blank.
“…A strange price indeed.”
So, how could he use the power of “Ruin Extraction” and “Element Injection”?
He pondered for a moment, holding the black crystal stone in his hand, silently activating the “Real Digital World” in the power of the “game.”
The next moment, an immense wave of pain washed over him.
He could only read the information about the usage of “Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used,” but couldn’t fully understand its specific principles.
“If I were strong enough, as powerful as a god… could I completely understand the abilities of the Ruin-level Relic and make them my own?”
Bai Yan shook his head, letting go of the thought for now.
He had this speculation in his mind, but couldn’t confirm it.
Fortunately, he understood how to properly use the Ruin-level Relic in his hand. Bai Yan gripped the black crystal stone, injected a large amount of mental power, and then pricked his finger, dripping a drop of blood.
The next moment, it activated.
“Ruin Extraction.”
The black crystal stone emitted a dazzling white light, the combination of black and white creating a special aura.
What could be considered a “ruin”?
Bai Yan tried extracting the Element from the recently transformed “Red Cup,” but found it impossible.
Clearly, this wasn’t a ruin.
Surrounding items weren’t ruins either, and Bai Yan realized the definition of “ruin” was quite strict.
Finally, the black crystal stone reacted to a decorative oil painting hanging on the wall.
Bai Yan recognized its origin: it had come from a country destroyed hundreds of years ago. It was the last painting of a saint from that country, once founded by the Demon of Justice.
He had bought this painting for a lot of money. Thankfully, Babel Tower would never lack money.
“Extract it.”
Bai Yan had no sentimental attachment to the painting, nor any taste for art. He didn’t hesitate to destroy it.
The next moment, the oil painting vanished into scattered white light.
From within that light, a small cluster of black light emerged.
“Digital World.”
Bai Yan quickly deciphered the effect of the black light, which was the extracted “Element.”
The Element, called “Dye,” could change the color of items…
“…”
Damn it! Wasn’t this completely useless?
However, after a sigh, Bai Yan quickly shrugged it off.
The idea that “increasing combat power” equals “useful” was just the opinion of most people. Many innate abilities and Relics had nothing to do with combat.
After contemplating for a moment, Bai Yan headed inside the Babel Tower.
Within the “open world” of Babel Tower, Bai Yan glanced at the prisoners. Over time, around six or seven hundred people had been trapped here.
Most of them were under the control of a red-haired woman, believing in the “savior of Babel Tower,” while Maryse’s father, Reno, had not joined them and was somewhat ostracized.
Although they couldn’t use force, they still mentally bullied others. Reno, the original spirit family lord, remained calm and unconcerned about being ostracized.
It seemed even prisoners could form factions… perhaps this was the wisdom of living beings.
Bai Yan shook his head, ignoring them, and went to search for “remnants” in the huge research institute.
He knew one thing: all Civilization-level Relics were born from the ruins of civilization or the corpses of gods…
In other words, corpses were definitely remnants.
After some hesitation, Bai Yan didn’t extract the corpse of Gravity of Darkness from the research institute. He had worked hard, and each member of Babel Tower had a bottle of Blood of Darkness.
For the “squishies,” this automatic healing ability was important.
He also glanced at the bound Shadow Fiend nearby. Even though she appeared as a black-haired girl with her mouth sewn shut, she was a complete monster.
Ah, this one still hadn’t died?
Should he kill it?
With enthusiasm, Bai Yan finally set his sights on the corpse of a minotaur monster.
It had been captured during a weekly mission, and so far, only some useless data had been collected from it.
“Extract!” Bai Yan activated the mysterious Ruin-level Relic power once more.
The entire corpse dissipated into particles of light, leaving only a red light sphere behind.
This was the “power” of the Element.
“So, the so-called Element is just various conceptual Elements. Interesting… Let’s try injecting it next.”
Muttering to himself, Bai Yan took out his frequently used Gungnir and used “Element Injection” to infuse the “power” into it.
Flames of red patterns appeared on the spear, glowing faintly, as if enhanced with special effects.
Bai Yan, holding Gungnir, felt a significant boost in power.
“The effect is obvious… or maybe a bit too much.”
Bai Yan had grasped the main ability of “Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used,” which could simply be described as the highest level of “waste utilization.” It was incredibly powerful!
Even though he wasn’t particularly powerful when he was alive, just by obtaining the remains of a minotaur at the awakening level, his strength had significantly increased.
If he could extract Elements from the divine remains of the Doomsday Legion and inject them into existing relics and magical equipment, Bai Yan couldn’t even imagine the effects!
“Overall, this was definitely an unexpected surprise in this little activity.”
Satisfied, Bai Yan smiled and washed his hands before returning to summon again. Now, he had over two thousand points, with five hundred points enabling a ten-pull, and forty summons would be more than enough.
However, after considering his options, Bai Yan decided to draw “Destiny” and “Different Dimensions” ten times each and save the remaining points.
He planned to accumulate more points and exchange them for a very advanced newly unlocked building in Babel Tower—the “Babel Tower Exchange Center”!
Its effects were incredibly powerful, allowing for point borrowing and fragment conversion.
Ten consecutive summons!
“Destiny!”
After summoning, Bai Yan quickly noticed some unfamiliar operator names in the pool!
Before the First Doomsday Crisis, this had only been the case for “Mysterious Magic”… but now, it seemed different.
And then, the rewards arrived!
First Shot:
“Operator Fragment·Moon Witch × 1”
Second Shot:
“Operator Fragment·The Final Gun × 1”
Third Shot:
“Mystical Power Fragment·Reality Manipulation × 1”
Fourth Shot:
“Tactical Card·Divine Possession × 1”
Fifth Shot:
“Relic Fragment·Blink Blade × 1”
Sixth Shot:
“Mystical Power Fragment·Rebirth After Death × 1”
Seventh Shot:
“Operator Fragment·The Covenant of Destruction × 1”
Eighth Shot:
“Operator Fragment·Sin Spirit × 1”
Ninth Shot:
“Relic Fragment·Langinus Spear × 1”
Tenth Shot:
“Core Operator·Hidden Azure!”
Seeing “Hidden Azure,” Bai Yan couldn’t help but laugh.
After some thought, he decided to “redeem” the fragments of Sin Spirit, The Covenant of Destruction, and the Langinus Spear.
Then, more rewards came in…
Bai Yan was stunned, unable to believe his eyes.
First Shot:
“Relic Fragment·Trident of Poseidon × 1”
Second Shot:
“Operator Fragment·The Final Gun × 1”
Third Shot:
“Core Operator·Sacred Heart’s Chosen!”
