Chapter 412: Chord City
The Babel Tower was holding a new meeting.
“So, our latest opponent is one of the ‘Rainbows’, a divine entity representing the concept of ‘progress’. . . that ancient steel throne? ”
Old Mike frowned, his expression suggesting disbelief at the Savior’s remark.
Steel Throne!
One of the six Rainbows!
The true deity!
He is one of the oldest Rainbows, consistently representing “progress” in various myths and permanently advancing the development of Noah’s world civilization, an extraordinary entity beyond the grasp of ordinary individuals and typical super beings!
Without the protection of the Babel Tower, they would have been unable to use its name.
Old Mike asked again:
“Are you all crazy? I know that the Babel Tower has accomplished great feats, completely shaking World of Noah, but do we really think we can challenge the Rainbow with just us ordinary people?”
However, Old Mike soon realized that only the recently joined “Dead Insane Warrior” shared his perspective.
Both agreed that this was highly outrageous.
To be honest, Red Moon felt completely confused and overwhelmed after arriving at the Babel Tower for the meeting. The amount of information was just too much for her to handle.
She also believed that directly confronting the “Rainbows” was an excessive action.
However, the other members of Babel Tower, including Nightsaber, Psychic Dancer, Queen of the Scarlet Moon, Mysterious Magic, Cybertyrant, that sword, that slime, Sacred Heart’s Chosen, Fist of Duel, and Hidden Azure, not only supported the Savior’s decision but also showed no fear whatsoever!
They had all lost their minds. . . Old Mike was both mentally and physically drained. He yearned for the tranquil retirement he had relished for so many years, away from any threats or chaos.
Now, he frequently found himself embroiled in the most perilous situations in the world!
Bai Yan surveyed the group of Core Operators below and experienced a slight, nuanced feeling. Unbeknownst to him, the number of Core Operators in the Babel Tower had surged significantly.
They now totaled an impressive twelve individuals, with the “World Savior” considered as the thirteenth. Furthermore, the number of Core Operators is expected to increase even more in the future.
Despite the insufficient number of lower-level personnel, the Babel Tower was rapidly transforming into a prominent establishment.
In fact, even within certain “Xiao” organizations or specific “Ten Blades,” the number of core villains was not as numerous as this.
In fact, Bai Yan’s attention towards each Core Operator was declining. The reason was simple – because there were more and more people.
He still had some level of concern for each Core Operator, but favoring some over others was inevitable. Especially the Core Operators he cared about, and the ones he treated normally were separated.
Besides, during this period, Core Operators also began to recruit lower-level Non-core Operators. However, Bai Yan had very little overlap with this level of Operators.
The next event, “Blank Fire,” in the “Babel Tower” will take place not in Tatsumi City but in the Air Alliance.
Its occurrence took place in the legendary Chord City.
Chord City, a nearly entirely independent city within the Air Alliance, had existed long before the formation of the Air Alliance itself. It could even openly reject commands issued by the “City of the Highest” without breaking the law.
The one who created this magnificent city of enchantment was none other than the later-ascended “Anomalous Star,” the mightiest sorcerer in the history of the Noah world.
None other.
Bai Yan pondered for a moment, carefully counting the people he would need for this journey. Soon, he made the decision to set off.
Hmm.
This time, up to six Core Operators could be deployed, with enough spots available. Let’s have the “World Savior” take up one position as well.
—
Chord City.
This city floated in the sky.
The power that has kept it suspended in the sky for a thousand years is a rather casual spell called “Anomalous Star”.
Chord City had existed for a thousand years, undoubtedly the oldest independent city within the Air Alliance territory, yet it was far from lacking a sense of “progress”.
Because the Anomalous Star was a trailblazer, a divine being of magic who particularly encouraged innovation.
Inside Chord City, many things were composed and aided by magic, with the greatest characteristic being the “revitalization of inanimate objects”. But beware…
In this city, extraordinary powers are public, and just like most Flow Users in Heart City, in Chord City, as the city of magic, the majority of extraordinary individuals are undoubtedly spellcasters.
The spellcasters, in the system of extraordinary individuals, undoubtedly held a very special presence.
Actually, although magic is not exclusive to Noah’s world, it is very rare and far from being mainstream in the diverse universe’s system of extraordinary powers.
Compared to the innate talents possessed by all extraordinary individuals, the advantage of magic lies in its powerful diversity, but it also has many disadvantages.
On one hand, it requires a significant amount of mental energy to use. On the other hand, its effects are far from being strong enough among peers of the same level of extraordinary abilities. Lastly, most importantly… magic almost always needs to be prepared before it can be cast, unlike innate powers that come naturally, like “breathing”.
Before attaining the “Apocalypse” and wielding the “Radiance,” many exceptional individuals were fundamentally ordinary in their physical forms. Even with a Crown awakened, they could easily be caught off guard and killed. . . Magic that necessitates preparation is at a disadvantage.
This is why a unique profession emerged known as “spellcaster,” allowing extraordinary individuals to focus on their innate abilities without the necessity of mastering magic.
Indigo Avenue.
The Anomalous Star is said to traverse this path, gradually ascending to divinity.
With each step he takes, remarkable events unfold in the heavens and the earth.
Until he took twelve consecutive steps, World lost its color, and the Anomalous Star vanished into thin air. The number of “Rainbows” also changed from five to six.
Then, a spell from the gods lifted the city into the sky for a thousand years.
This street is located in the heart of Chord City, with modern commercial shops lining both sides. People come and go, with a bustling flow of vehicles, making it the busiest place in Chord City.
On the street, all kinds of vehicles were driving themselves, ensuring there were no collisions. The doors of the shops would automatically open, and they would even make sounds to welcome people inside.
They were all enchanted and brought to life by a spell.
“Mmm, my first time in Chord City and it feels pretty good.”
Maryse took out a cellphone, smiled, and took a selfie in the middle of the street. The smile was innocent, and the beauty filter was maxed out.
“We are not here to play.”
Mu Ling shook her head on the side, giving a gentle reminder.
“You should, a little bit, tone it down… By the way, should we stay here a little longer?”
On the other side, Alan retorted, “Actually, it’s okay to have a little fun. Honestly, I am very interested in all the spells and magical items sold on this street.”
Maryse nodded and said, “Yes, yes, actually I am gathering information, don’t you think, Grandmaster?”
Bai Yan remained silent, merely smiling.
The people on the street couldn’t help but look at them, mainly because… both the men and women were incredibly good-looking, especially the women who were simply stunning.
The Scarlet Moon stood silently in the center of the crowd.
She felt that the street was too well-lit, with the sun shining brightly overhead, making her quite uncomfortable.
At her level of bloodline, the sunlight naturally didn’t cause any harm, but it still made her very annoyed.
How should I put it?
It felt as if her whole body was immersed in mud, causing great discomfort.
Bai Yan quickly realized this and smiled, saying, “Let’s find a place to rest first and then thoroughly investigate which believer this city belongs to… The sun is so intense here, it’s almost melting me.”
The Scarlet Moon silently glanced at the “food reserves,” wondering why he was too afraid of the sun.
“No! I haven’t finished exploring yet!” Maryse shook her head repeatedly, pouted her lips, looking so sad and on the verge of tears.
“Then you can cry.”
Bai Yan smiled and looked at her, saying, “If you can really cry, then I’ll do everything you say… But if you can’t cry, then forget about it.”
Maryse stood still for a moment, then tried again and realized that she couldn’t cry.
“Mu Ling, how about you punched me twice?”
Mu Ling didn’t bother to say a word. She pulled the little puppy closer and got ready to give a knee bump.
Maryse got scared and immediately ran away.
“Let’s go, let’s go,” said Bai Yan, shaking his head with a smile on his face.
Actually, there were six people on this journey to Chord City, but at that moment, only five of them were strolling there… Kaluoer, who goes by the name “Hidden Azure,” was not there. Instead, she went to another place to gather information.
Before long, they found a place to stay.
The name of the hotel was “Triumph.”
The ‘Triumph’ stood as one of the top hotels on Indigo Avenue, with a modern decor that also carried a touch of enchantment, showcasing extraordinary powers in various ways.
For example, there were magnificent floating lights in the sky, gliding and shimmering. There were also lifelike portraits that seemed almost real, each with a different expression. Even the carpets, cups, and stairs were brought to life through enchantment, creating a fusion of modernity like a blend of the castle from Beauty and the Beast and the schools in Harry Potter.
A talking rabbit, dressed in a suit, hopped over and stood steadily in front of the group. He took off his black top hat, bowing respectfully.
It said in a deep and mellow voice, “Hello, everyone! I am the exclusive host of ‘Triumph’. The rooms you all booked in advance have been prepared and are ready for you. You are welcome to check in at any time.”
An orc.
“Um.”
Bai Yan nodded and smiled, saying, “You’ve worked hard.”
“Not difficult, not difficult. I hope all of you are comfortable. It is my privilege.”
The rabbit in the suit could not afford to be negligent. The backgrounds of the individuals before him were mysterious and unclear, yet undeniably influential.
The phone used to secure the rooms came from the secretary of the Tatsumi City alliance leader, and those who booked the rooms alongside them were none other than the renowned Imperial Guards!
Contemplating this, the suited rabbit gazed at the enigmatic individuals before him, feeling a heightened sense of awe.
“This time, we are going to work with the Imperial Guards, and I actually feel perfect about it. Finally, I won’t have to be a ‘double agent’ anymore like before. I’ve always had a lot of pressure.”
Alan breathed a sigh of relief. During this time, his mood had also improved quite a bit.
Because of what happened before, the Leaf King, the highest level of the Air Alliance, became even closer to the Babel Tower.
And so, this Blank Fire event became the first cooperation between both sides.
They all had to stop the corrupted Steel Throne from descending.
“I think it’s better for you to keep your identity hidden,” Bai Yan said with a smile.
“Of course, that’s what the Respected Savior said,” Alan said, feeling a bit embarrassed. In fact, ever since he arrived in this city, he had been disguising himself with magic, and he hadn’t taken it off until now.
Keeping his identity hidden was ultimately for the best.
“Wow, you guys are here too!”
Just then, Bai Yan and his companions heard a strange voice. And then, they saw a group of very eye-catching individuals stepping out of the elevator. They all looked curiously in their direction.
“Oh my goodness, it’s the Imperial Guards of the king!” Maryse couldn’t help but remark to herself, “Speaking of which, what exactly is this kind of gathering now? Is it some kind of social event?”
