Chapter 314: Evie’s Rhapsody

The power of the Silver Sword was unquestionable.

She had once single-handedly swept through an entire cult, capturing their leader on the spot.

Evie and Kaluoer were not at the Crown level, so they couldn’t possibly be her opponents.

Here, it referred to martial combat… but in reality, there was also intellectual combat.

“Hold on.”

Evie (Female) gazed at the silver-haired knight in the distance, furrowing her brow and falling into deep thought. “I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before. Hmm, the armor you’re wearing is definitely the special black armor forged by the divine blade. You’re one of the Knights of the Divine Blade.”

Christine’s face stiffened, without saying a word.

Pretending to know nothing, perhaps it’s best to just strike with a single sword… This was the expression on her face.

“You’re Christine, right?” Evie (Female) suddenly realized, pointing her finger at her. “Hey! You’ve been pretending not to know me all this time!”

“No! You’ve got the wrong person!” Christine replied earnestly, feigning seriousness. “I am merely a passing Silver Knight! I’m definitely not this so-called Christine! Christine seems to be a particularly beautiful woman, maybe we can’t be compared.”

“It’s impossible, I have a deep impression! You are definitely the Silver Sword of Divine Blade!”

Evie (Female) shook her head, raised an eyebrow, and said coldly, “You attended my birthday banquet last year, got drunk, and publicly swore to get married within a year! Everyone at the scene heard it!”

“And then, you didn’t come to my birthday banquet this year. Was it too embarrassing?”

Christine lifted her head, looked at the sky, and for a moment, didn’t know how to react.

“I really have no idea what you’re talking about…” Her voice became weaker and weaker.

Evie (Female) snorted coldly, roaring loudly, “Christine! She’s my sister! Can’t you tell? If you lay a hand on her, I’ll die right here too!”

Evie (Female) and Kaluoer (Female) are twins; except for their orcish features, hair color, and body development, their faces are almost identical.

Christine gritted her teeth.

“You’re really as capricious as the rumors say! Damn, I feel like drinking beer!”

Christine had no choice but to turn around, and the silver glow sword in her hand also disappeared.

She flew away like a bird!

Evie (Female) and Kaluoer (Female) looked at each other.

This guy is powerful, but in a certain sense, it seems quite easy to deal with?

[Behold, for I am the Savior.]

[All is for the salvation of the past and the future, for this world that is about to collapse and be destroyed.]

[Hidden Azure.]

[From today onwards, you are a member of Babel Tower.]

The voice in Kaluoer (Female)’s mind made her ponder… but it was too troublesome, so she quickly stopped thinking about it.

In the future, will there be new people giving her orders?

That wouldn’t be bad.

Not bad at all.

Since leaving the Mercury Ball, she had been thinking about many things.

For some reason.

After leaving the Mercury Ball, Kaluoer (Female) felt increasingly empty, realizing that she didn’t fit in with the people around her.

She went to various districts in Annottales, met many people, but still couldn’t find the warmth she needed in her heart.

Viscount Edmond had said that after leaving, she could do whatever she wanted… but she was always just a tool.

Apart from executing orders, she hadn’t thought about anything else in the past few years.

Kaluoer has seen similar descriptions of psychological issues in books. It is said that some people released from prison do not adapt to the outside world just like her.

Trained hunting dogs would not want to return to nature.

However, she hesitated and did not return directly to the Mercury Ball.

Throughout, she felt lost and confused.

After that, the Mercury Ball was destroyed, and Kaluoer had no way to go back even if she wanted to.

After the crisis was resolved, Evie smiled and embraced her unwilling sister again:

“Let’s go back to the first city area now and go to the Temple of Dark Light… Kaluoer, actually, I’ve been living there all these years. The Incarnation of Dark Light adopted me.”

She had no secrets to hide from her sister, no things to conceal.

Moreover, Evie still remembered their childhood promise.

They promised to share everything!

Incarnation of Dark Light?

Even Kaluoer, who had almost no emotions, couldn’t help but be astonished.

It was too unbelievable. Incarnation of Dark Light, undoubtedly the supreme leader of this country, so her sister is actually a “princess”?

No wonder she easily defeated the powerful Knight of the Divine Blade.

But why would she be adopted by such a divine person?

Evie touched her human ears and smiled bitterly. “To disguise, my half-orc features have been removed by my foster father… Let me show you.”

After she finished speaking, she suddenly reached out to grab Kaluoer’s tail, but was stomped on the foot by her sister expressionlessly, causing her to release in pain.

“So that’s how it is…”

Kaluoer nodded lightly, refusing expressionlessly. “I don’t want to go there.”

“Why?” Evie didn’t understand, but vaguely felt unsurprised by this answer.

“No reason.”

Kaluoer couldn’t come up with a reason either. Rats in the gutter hate the lofty eagles, and they certainly don’t need a reason.

She was just an assassin.

Following Evie to the Temple of Dark Light, and then maybe becoming a “princess” or not having any status at all, being raised by Evie like this.

Whichever the case may be, Kaluoer didn’t like it.

“Help me find a master,” she suddenly said something that shocked Evie.

“What are you talking about?” Evie couldn’t believe it.

Kaluoer remained expressionless, looking ahead and said, word by word, “I am a tool, an assassin of Mercury Ball. I have been carrying out orders… Missions, commands, training, rewards, punishments… I have long adapted to these things and find it difficult to let go.”

Evie’s face was filled with shock and sadness. She already knew that her sister must have endured inhumane treatment over the years.

Kaluoer continued, “Because of that person, I have separated from Mercury Ball in the past few days, but I still don’t feel real… Hmm, he’s the one who made you find me, right?”

Kaluoer’s guess, in a sense, was quite accurate.

“Mercury Ball… So that’s it, I understand now, I understand it all.”

Evie is clever, and considering everything that has happened before, she can probably deduce the cause and effect.

The man who secretly gave himself a note has actually been secretly protecting his sister all along! He even dares to oppose the mysterious assassin organization, Mercury Ball, and they engage in a life-and-death battle!

Only by destroying Mercury Ball can he truly give freedom to the girl he loves!

Even though the enemy is powerful, he is fearless. He just handed me the note before the decisive battle, asking me to come here and find the liberated Kaluoer.

Why?

Evie understands now.

Because he fears that if he dies, there will be no one left to protect Kaluoer!

That man has already…

He is alone, annihilating the ancient assassin organization, Mercury Ball!

“Today, I will give her freedom…” Evie already has an image in her mind.

Finally, this man succeeds, completely eliminating Mercury Ball… Perhaps, he himself has also died.

How romantic!

Evie is deeply moved for a moment, tears welling up in her eyes. She almost cries again.

Perhaps, just like what Kaluoer thought, she has always maintained her innocence as a young girl, never truly growing up.

However, because she never expected the existence of Babel Tower, Evie’s imagination may be closer to reality. If she hadn’t fallen in love, there wouldn’t be such a caring person, right?

“How can someone be so good?”

He’s even better than the male protagonist in the stories she’s read!

“Let’s go, let’s find the person who saved you!” Evie firmly grabs her sister’s arm. She must repay the favor to that person.

Hmm?

Kaluoer’s expressionless face reveals her understanding. So, does her sister think that person is suitable to be her “new owner”?

Evie must confirm the situation of the person who silently sacrificed for Kaluoer.

If he really challenges Mercury Ball and they both end up sacrificing themselves, she must find a way to help his family and friends to the best of her ability. This favor is too heavy.

“Okay.”

After thinking it over, Kaluoer believes that Viscount Edmond is a good choice to align with, and she can follow his orders to continue killing.

Evie takes a deep breath and prays silently that the man who silently protects her sister will be safe.

But deep down, she secretly hopes that her sister doesn’t fall in love with him… because Evie made a vow to share everything.

Even when Kaluoer just said she didn’t want to go to the Temple of Dark Light, Evie has already made up her mind to abandon her “princess” identity.

“By the way, who is that man? How did you meet?” She suddenly realizes that she doesn’t know who that man is.

Kaluoer doesn’t hesitate and nods, telling the story of how she assassinated Viscount Edmond.

“…”

Evie listens, her mouth slightly agape, stunned.

“Even if you were to assassinate me, I am willing to repay with kindness, silently guarding you without any grudges, willing to sacrifice everything for you… My eyes seem to have been filled with snow…”

Kaluoer fell silent, feeling that her sister was acting strange.

Perhaps she had misunderstood something?

It doesn’t matter.

She touched her abdomen, feeling something extra inside, as if it were a black tower-shaped mark.

The Tulip Manor.

Bai Yan knew that the mark of the “Sacred Heart’s Chosen” appeared on the back of the neck, while the mark of the “Hidden Azure” appeared inside the stomach.

Her modified body was different from ordinary people; her limbs and abdomen were constructs rather than flesh and blood. Not only could she freely extend her limbs and release various weapons, but she also had many things hidden inside her stomach.

In fact, Bai Yan had checked while Kaluoer was hypnotized using his powerful perception ability.

Inside her constructed abdomen, there were even makeup brushes and mirrors. Well, maybe it was just for the convenience of disguises.

Bai Yan glanced at the character cards of the two new Core Operators but found that they were only the most basic versions, completely unsatisfying!

“Let me take a closer look…”

He took a deep breath and, following the operator list on his phone, activated the power of the “Real Digital World”.

Originally the leader of the church’s choir, the holy maiden couldn’t bear to watch the land descend into human purgatory. Thus, she led the Knights of the Sacred Heart on a path of salvation.

“A leader of unwavering nobility and purity, guiding the Sacred Heart Knights.”

(Hidden):

If the Sacred Heart’s Chosen gains divine power, it will be easier for her to control.

If the elite knights serving the Sacred Heart’s Chosen perish, they can be revived through the Babel Tower.

If the ‘God’ worshipped by the Sacred Heart’s Chosen is resurrected, she will gain new abilities.

Bai Yan thought as he examined this information.

The God she worshipped, the Heavenly God, was said to be dead.

At least, that was the implication.

Now, this chosen one, who should have been the “Heavenly God,” had been drawn to the “Savior” of the Babel Tower.

“This situation is fascinating.”

He knew one thing for sure: “Gods” never truly die.

Gods are immortal.

Why is there such a stark distinction between gods and non-gods, even more so than between Outer Gods and regular gods?

Because gods are immortal.

Humans who are reborn after death, extraordinary beings whose souls don’t enter reincarnation, and gods with immortal souls represent the three greatest stages of transformation in the nature of life.

Even if temporarily killed or destroyed, their souls, once reaching the “Divinity Realm,” remain eternal.

In any case, gods can always be resurrected.

Therefore, the greatest threat to gods isn’t death—it’s corruption and decay, becoming a “slave” or “weapon” to a higher existence.

“That’s what Dark Light… the result of failing to resist the Outer Gods… probably looks like now… He can’t even tell which divine oracle is coming from his own heart anymore.”

Next, Bai Yan, his head throbbing, turned his attention to the character card of “Hidden Azure.”

His headache had lessened, a sign that he was growing stronger.

“Strange…”

“A soulless top assassin, an alternative body for a deity’s reincarnation.”

(Hidden):

If Hidden Azure acquires assassination abilities, they will be easier for her to master.

If the Innocent Singer dies, Hidden Azure will regain normal emotions after significant stimulation.

If the Savior of Dark Light successfully reincarnates, the original soul’s personality will be completely overwritten.

Bai Yan reflected on this information.

For some reason, he felt certain that he would eventually meet the Savior of Dark Light in some form.

As Babel Tower grew stronger and their reach extended to higher circles, certain things could no longer be avoided in the world of Noah, the “Rainbows.”

Bai Yan was aware that many of Noah’s existing systems were frowned upon by Babel Tower’s people. As tensions escalated, he would undoubtedly need to rise to the expectations of his comrades.

“Not sure what the situation will be like then.”

Suddenly, Bai Yan sensed the presence of two people and froze for a moment. Sitting in the study, he turned his attention toward the mansion gate.

“They actually came here?”
