Chapter 355: Overwhelmed With Joy!
In the time before the “Dark Night Lost City” event, Bai Yan had eagerly reconstructed his “shelter” and, with great excitement, performed a thirty-time summon without a single pause.
Had it not been for the summoning of “Shadow Tactics” and “Moon Dancer,” completing the tasks in the “Eve” phase with perfection would have been nearly impossible.
In that moment, Bai Yan even had a thought:
What in this world could be more exhilarating than performing a thirty-time summon in Babel Tower?
Now, he knew the answer.
Of course, there was something more exciting!
It was the forty-time summon!
Bai Yan’s first ten draws came from the “Fate” pool.
Unfortunately, his luck seemed to have run out. The result of this ten-draw was disappointing.
The fragments of the Moon Witch never appeared.
Instead, he drew a variety of fragments, none of which were useful at the moment.
But Bai Yan remained calm.
“Don’t worry! It’s just a backup plan!”
With forty consecutive additions and the ability to undo, he knew he had plenty of chances. He wasn’t scared at all.
“Regretted card!”
After three regretful cards, Bai Yan finally drew something useful from the “Fate” pool. He let out a sigh of relief.
Truth be told, a small amount of panic had crept into his heart.
“Little panic doesn’t count as panic… Hmm, little panic doesn’t count as panic,” he mumbled to himself.
A new relic of civilization had emerged!
Among the many Civilization-level Relics, this one clearly belonged to a higher tier, much like the mighty Relic of the “Review” level.
In fact, Bai Yan had always carried the power of “regret,” which was capable of changing the course of situations. He took the item out and took a look at it.
A jade pocket watch with alternating green and yellow patterns, its golden pointer turned backward.
Unfortunately, its cooldown time lasted seventy-seven days, meaning Bai Yan couldn’t use it immediately.
“However, when the Second Doomsday Crisis arrives, we might be able to use it and perhaps even turn the tide… Review, it’s like a remedy for regret.”
After finishing his customary soliloquy, Bai Yan put away the Review and began examining the newly acquired Civilization-level Relic.
Civilization-level Relic: Galactic Long Chain
“Galactic Long Chain: A long chain made of silver starlight. It can automatically protect the holder and attack hostile entities. Its hardness resembles that of stars, indestructible, and its length can extend almost infinitely within the field of vision. Each defense and attack consumes one year of lifespan.”
A long chain, resembling silver starlight, appeared in Bai Yan’s palm. It was as light as silk.
Using the power of the Digital World, Bai Yan tested its hardness. Indeed, it was as exaggerated as described in Babel Tower.
The Galactic Long Chain, while not indestructible, was likely beyond the power of the gods to break easily.
“Gungnir is a powerful weapon. Its attack ability is impressive, but the automatic defense is even more vital. It’s great to have Gungnir for offense, but my defense has always been my weak spot.”
The cost was only his lifespan, which, for Bai Yan, wasn’t a concern.
The Doomsday Crisis was just over two months away. As for the Third Doomsday Crisis, no one knew when it would happen, but it certainly wouldn’t be too far off.
By then, if Babel Tower wasn’t destroyed, Mu Ling might have already become a goddess.
Bai Yan should have reached the Apocalypse, with a lifespan lasting thousands, even tens of thousands of years.
The cost of longevity was something he didn’t need to worry about at all.
Many extraordinary individuals treasure their lifespan, especially the righteous ones who don’t rely on dark magic to prolong it. However, for Bai Yan right now, lifespan had the least value.
If worse comes to worst, Babel Tower still had the mystical power of “Eternal Youth.”
Among the discarded cards, there were actually more treasures hidden than just this one.
And there was a new Core Operator for Babel Tower!
“The Final Gun!”
Bai Yan remembered that there were two assassin-type characters in Babel Tower. One was a close-range assassin named “Hidden Azure.”
She had the ability to erase extraordinary powers, exceptional killing skills, and an inhuman nature. She often achieved nearly impossible assassinations and could surpass levels of killing careless enemies.
The second assassin was an old man from the Night Union’s Ring City.
Bai Yan had once arranged for the Cybertyrant to take care of an old man, according to the original background of Babel Tower. This event led to his granddaughter’s death, which made him, already retired, angrily re-enter the world.
The retired ace assassin, now a long-range specialist, contrasted with the melee assassin “Hidden Azure”… He was the most talented marksman.
“The Final Gun”
But Bai Yan didn’t immediately start on a new operator’s guide mission.
Although he had drawn a new Core Operator, his excitement wasn’t particularly high. After all, there were already many Core Operators in Babel Tower.
“I can only say… I’m lucky.”
Then, Bai Yan turned his attention to the “Different Dimensions” pool, which was what he was most eager about.
This time, he was about to do a ten consecutive draw for the third time! Surely, he would get a good result this time, right?
His “great luck” was on his side!
Bai Yan mumbled, “If this doesn’t turn out well, something strange is going on! I’m going to complain.” He pressed his finger down.
The first ten consecutive draw!
First summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Land of Fire ×1”
Second summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Minoan Labyrinth ×1”
Third summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Rainbow Bridge ×1”
Fourth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Parc des Ailes ×1”
Fifth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · The Golden Country ×1”
Sixth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Sky Garden ×1”
Seventh summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Atlantis ×1”
Eighth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Valhalla ×1”
Ninth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Giants’ Kingdom ×1”
Tenth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Land of Mist ×1”
“Why are all of these fragments so miraculous?” Bai Yan stood frozen, unable to believe it. “This can’t be! It’s absolutely impossible!”
“Luck, is it really possible to use it all up?”
All ten pulls were just fragments, and Bai Yan was frustrated. He was on the verge of throwing his phone away.
“Stay calm, don’t get angry,” a soothing voice whispered.
“Just a scapegoat…”
He regretfully discarded a card.
Three new cards emerged, all magnificent fragments. Bai Yan was left speechless, utterly bewildered.
“Next, we have two more sets of ten. Babel Tower, oh Babel Tower, we all want to save the world… Can you just give me what I need right away?”
He ran back to Tatsumi City and washed his hands.
Start again.
Summoning, “Different Dimensions,” ten in a row!
First summon: “Possibility! In the land of Water World, there lived a skilled drink-making master named Drunken Masters Panda Rowen (for seven days).”
Second summon: “Possibility! Water World: Moon Witch (Forever)!”
Third summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Valhalla ×1”
Fourth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Atlantis ×1”
Fifth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Rainbow Bridge ×1”
Sixth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Naraku Yellow Spring ×1”
Seventh summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Naraku Yellow Spring ×1”
Eighth summon: “Possibility! The Song of the Dragon – Innocent Singer (Seven Days).”
Ninth summon: “Possibility! The Sin of Laziness – White Night Devil (Seven Days).”
Tenth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Land of Fire ×1”
It was alright, just alright. After obtaining the Shadow Kingdom, the persistent Land of Fire came along.
Bai Yan sighed with relief when he finally collected both the Innocent Singer’s new skin, Dragon Singer, after seven days. It was a success, and he even obtained a permanent Witch Swimsuit.
He shuffled the three fragments of wonders.
And in the end, they remained as fragments of wonders…
Bai Yan stayed silent for a while and decided to carefully read the information about the Witch Swimsuit.
“Water World: The Moon Witch”—dressed in a black one-piece bikini with a flowing veil skirt that was almost see-through. She wore an oversized sun hat and black sunglasses that completely hid her eyes. In this world, the Moon Witch quietly observed the battle between the Sea Creatures and the Land Creatures, always searching for an opportunity to become a goddess.
Special effect: After acquiring this possibility, the Core Operator gains the ability to freely explore the ocean and control water currents. Additionally, they obtain the power to see through everything.
“Hmm, fundamentally, this skin is still not strong enough for a specialized type,” he murmured.
“Swimsuits don’t have much use for now, but if we encounter a world dominated by the sea in the future, maybe all these ‘Water World’ skins will come in handy.”
Now, it was time for the final ten-roll!
Bai Yan was filled with determination, feeling the weight of life and death. His nerves were on edge, but he wasn’t scared and felt confident of victory. Yet, at this moment, he was truly tense.
Summon.
Different Dimensions, the final ten-roll!
First summon: “Possibility! Heart of Shadows: Queen of the Scarlet Moon (Seven Days)”
Bai Yan froze.
Second summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Land of Fire ×1”
Third summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Valhalla ×1”
Fourth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Fusang Tree ×1”
Fifth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Rainbow Bridge ×1”
Sixth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Rainbow Bridge ×1”
Seventh summon: “Possibility! The Great Wilderness: Descendants of the World-Destroying Dragon (Seven Days)”
Eighth summon: “World Line Change Fragment · Land of Mist ×1”
Ninth summon: “Chances! Sky Fox – Ninetales Aision (Seven Days)”
Tenth summon: “Possibility! World Line Change Fragment Atlantis ×1”
Bai Yan stood still for a moment.
Deep in his heart, joy overwhelmed him so much that he couldn’t react at first.
It was normal to dive into the pool and retrieve an item after thirty tries, but when the crucial moment arrived, Bai Yan still found it difficult to calm his emotions.
“The Heart of Shadows” had already appeared once before, lasting a “week” during the previous encounter.
Now, the Scarlet Moon had gathered all her skins.
Bai Yan took a deep breath. He had reached the level of “Potential Apocalypse.”
Everything was falling into place.
The Scarlet Moon would become the first extraordinary being to reach the “Apocalypse” level in Babel Tower!
Apocalypse!
Also known as a demigod in the world!
Among the three major nations of Noah’s world, only a few extraordinary individuals possessed powers akin to the “Apocalypse” level.
Once they reached this level, their lifespan would increase several times over. In certain civilizations, these individuals were worshipped as gods.
The extraordinary beings of the Apocalypse level wielded immense power, capable of moving mountains, filling seas, tearing apart the sky, and shattering cities.
Even the attacks of semi-gods were stronger than some weak deities!
Now, after just over a hundred days of development, Babel Tower was about to have its first extraordinary being of the “Apocalypse” level!
To outsiders, this seemed unbelievable. But with Babel Tower, everything felt entirely reasonable.
Apart from that, Bai Yan noticed other gains.
One was the new possibility of
Ninetales Aision, the Sky Fox,
whose potential seemed the
most powerful.
There was also a new operator
—the Descendant of the
Apocalypse Dragon.
Bai Yan could tell this was a
new Babel Tower operator
exclusive to the second
playthrough.
“Huff.”
Bai Yan let out a breath, not
wanting to think too much
about the “second playthrough
exclusive operator” or any new
possibilities. For now, he just
wanted to know:
How powerful was the “Queen
of the Scarlet Moon” who had
already reached the
Apocalypse level?
What new powers would she
awaken next?
In the game “Babel Tower,” Bai
Yan had seen Core Operators
reach the Apocalypse multiple
times. But this was the first
time it had happened in the
real world.
He eagerly opened the
“operator list” and clicked on
the icon of the Queen of the
Scarlet Moon.
“Core Operator has fulfilled all
the requirements for
promotion to ‘Apocalypse.’
Shall we proceed with the
promotion?”
Bai Yan didn’t hesitate.
“Yes!”
Soon…
“Game hint: Core Operator
‘Queen of the Scarlet Moon’
has successfully advanced!
Arrived at Apocalypse!”
“Game Tip: Unlocking the
Purple Achievement: The First
Apocalypse! Earn 200 Source
Energy Points!”
Yay!
Bai Yan couldn’t wait any
longer.
He immediately clicked on the
character card of the Queen of
the Scarlet Moon, using his
special power to thoroughly
examine her new character
card!
