Chapter 423: Cutting Off Tatsumi City!

Mu Ling sighed and said,

“Tatsumi City, once a peaceful place, now faces uncertainty as more and more extraordinary beings from all around the world begin to arrive. The future of this city, after these events, is now in question.”

At this moment, everyone gathered inside the Babel Tower, within the magnificent Crystal Palace.

The Savior remained high above, seated on a crystal throne, looking down upon the countless members of the Babel Tower below.

Mu Ling, Maryse, and the others were discussing the recent significant event that had occurred.

Countless extraordinary beings from all around the world were gathering in Tatsumi City!

Steel Throne

He is the white being among the “Rainbows,” a true deity, and a great presence that has been corrupted and eroded by the Outer God.

Not long ago, He issued His divine prophecy across various parts of the Noah world, calling upon those interested to come to Tatsumi City, enticing them to unlock the seal of the Black Abyss Deep Sea.

Although the Steel Throne didn’t descend upon Noah, nor did it have a dedicated worshiping cult, it was, after all, a true and powerful deity.

He promised to grant everyone various desires, which was quite enticing.

No one believed that the illustrious “Rainbow” entity, the Steel Throne, would renege on its promises. The legitimacy of saving the world also relieved the chosen extraordinary individuals of any guilty conscience, prompting many people to embark on the journey to Tatsumi City for the sake of personal gain or justice.

So, the only thing to worry about was the “betrayal” of the Air Alliance’s Imperial Guards and the Leaf King, the alliance’s leader.

Oh, and there was also the Babel Tower.

The Scarlet Moon, who usually didn’t participate in discussions, spoke up.

“Disgusting and hypocritical gods. Sickening… I must say, this move is indeed quite difficult to handle, but did no one else from the Rainbow express any opinion?”

Alan immediately spoke up, saying,

“Yes, there were some indications. From what I know, the Anomalous Star has recently been issuing divine prophecies, and almost all of Noah’s sorcerers have received the message… The Savior of Dark Light and the Steel Throne have already been tainted and corrupted by the Outer God.”

After hearing this, everyone was stunned.

“You mean, all of the sorcerers?” Old Mike squinted his eyes.

Alan nodded, confirming,

“Yes, there are rumors of two betrayals within Noah’s Rainbow, which have been slowly spreading within the realm of the extraordinary. The Anomalous Star openly turned against us… It can be considered as a significant support for us.”

Mu Ling recalled the five individuals she had faced. Among them, the old dragon descendant should have been a sorcerer, but she clearly also heard the divine prophecy of the Anomalous Star. However, she remained wholeheartedly devoted to serving the Steel Throne.

For the purpose of eternal life.

Just at that moment, Kaluoer, who was normally quiet, suddenly spoke up.

“Hidden Azure.”

Her tone was plain, yet her words carried weight.

“Most of the sorcerers of the Kingdom of Dark Light don’t believe in the Anomalous Star, but rather in the Savior of Dark Light.”

This was a very normal thing, and not a single person found it peculiar.

Ganis said,

“In that case, it seems that great chaos is imminent… After the First Doomsday Crisis, people from the upper class fled to Noah’s world, and there were various major upheavals in the slums. Now that people know that even traitors appear in Rainbows, Noah is bound to become more and more chaotic.”

Bai Yan listened quietly, understanding that this was the reason why the Rainbows had not publicly announced the existence of traitors before.

Once this kind of thing is revealed, it will inevitably trigger worldwide chaos.

But the Anomalous Star had clearly made a decision at this moment, preferring to cause great chaos in the world rather than keeping the truth of the two “Rainbows” being traitors a secret.

Maryse blinked her eyes, asking in confusion,

“So what are the attitudes of the final two Rainbows, Crimson Sovereign and Fate’s Strings Master?”

Amy, sitting in a wheelchair, explained,

“Fate’s Strings Master has always been a passive observer, never directly involved in worldly matters, which seems to be crucial to her path… As for Crimson Sovereign, she represents the deity of ‘war’ and perhaps doesn’t dislike the current situation.”

Maryse frowned after listening and exclaimed,

“If that’s the case, the only deity that can directly support us would probably be the Anomalous Star? But no matter what, if things become unbearable, both the Anomalous Star and the other Rainbows can leave Noah… Don’t expect them to always be ready to fight.”

The Scarlet Moon’s expression was subtle.

“Noah is currently dependent on the Rainbows, but the Rainbows are fully capable of leaving Noah. In truth, this place is just a territory they occupy.”

“Can’t the Imperial Guards and the Demon Hunt Agency do something?” Mu Ling asked.

Alan, now a member of the Sword-Wielding Troop, knew a little more about this matter.

He said,

“It’s strange. According to Mr. Xia, we suspect there’s a traitor… I don’t know why, but those outsiders always manage to evade the Imperial Guards, as if they have a sixth sense.”

A traitor?

Many people were taken aback and surprised, but not too shocked. After all, if even a Rainbow can be a traitor, what about a mere super being?

Maryse interjected,

“As of now, I can monitor the entire city’s activities and have indeed been keeping an eye on Tatsumi City, but I haven’t found any issues within the Demon Hunt Agency or the Imperial Guards… Oh, I can’t monitor the Apocalypse-level powerhouses.”

Everyone understood when they heard this. The most likely to have problems were a few individuals within the Demon Hunt Agency and the Imperial Guards who possessed the power of the Apocalypse.

So, there were a total of five suspects:

Director “Sword Saint” Austin of the Demon Hunt Agency

Captain “The Cursed String Music” of the Sword-Wielding Troop

Mr. Xia “World” from the Imperial Guards

Shi Nianyu “Tower”

“Death”

Alan let out a sigh and said earnestly,

“The Cursed String Music is my current captain. I haven’t had much contact with him, but I can be certain of one thing… he detests evil and is even somewhat impulsive. He would never join the Outer God… However, he has indeed gone missing recently.”

Mu Ling said,

“In the days to come, we must eliminate all the threats lurking in Tatsumi City… Their goal is to unravel the seal.”

The Scarlet Moon asked,

“Who knows where the so-called seal is located? Is there any way to unlock it?”

Amy shook her head. She searched through the databases of different countries but found no information about the location that sealed the Black Abyss Deep Sea.

She said,

“As far as I know, nobody knows the exact location of the seal. After all, it happened thousands of years ago when Tatsumi City, the Air Alliance, and even the Noah civilization had not yet formed. There are simply no detailed records.”

Ganis remained silent.

Recently, Ganis felt that he was about to find the answer.

Amy waved her hand, and a hologram appeared, saying,

“In fact, the seal that sealed the Black Abyss Deep Sea is highly unique and mysterious. It was formed even before the Noah civilization, possibly even earlier than the birth of this universe.

The original sealer only succeeded in sealing the Black Abyss Deep Sea by sheer luck, using its power. According to records, the extraordinary being who sealed the Black Abyss Deep Sea was not a deity, but rather just an ordinary Apocalypse-level extraordinary being.”

“Can an ordinary Apocalypse seal an Outer God?” Maryse exclaimed.

Everyone found it hard to believe, as it seemed nearly impossible!

For an Outer God, even the most powerful deities are no more than stray cats or wild dogs, while Apocalypse-level extraordinary beings, the so-called demigods, are mere ants that could be blown away with a single breath.

Amy continued,

“Yes, that individual is a very ancient figure in history, even predating the Anomalous Star. His true name has long been lost to time. People from that era used to refer to him as the self-sacrificing ‘Black Eagle.’

And the ceremony that sealed the Black Abyss Deep Sea was called the ‘Black Eagle Seal.’ It was located in Tatsumi City, but no one has been able to find it, nor do they know how to lift the seal.”

“Black Eagle itself wasn’t anything remarkable. What’s crucial is the ‘Black Eagle Seal,’ which seals an Outer God within a mere Apocalypse-level body. The ‘Black Eagle Seal’ must have some special origin.” Amy concluded.

Mu Ling’s expression grew serious as she said,

“At present, no one knows where the Black Eagle Seal is, but all outsiders are actively searching for it. It’s only a matter of time before it’s found.”

Bai Yan remained silent, but he was carefully listening to the thoughts of each Core Operator in the Babel Tower.

“Um,” he murmured.

Inside the Demon Hunt Agency or the Imperial Guards, there was indeed a traitor, and it was most likely one of the five from the Apocalypse. Otherwise, the outsiders wouldn’t be able to track every movement of the Demon Hunt Agency and the Imperial Guards.

Extraordinary individuals from all over the World were gathering in this city. Bai Yan felt it was time for him to take action.

[No need to worry about more enemies.]

The voice of the Savior reached the hearts of all Core Operators, and Mu Ling gazed at him with admiration, kneeling down on one knee.

“Thank you very much for your help, master.”

Although she didn’t yet know what the Respected Savior intended to do, she was certain that it would be significant.

So, Bai Yan chose an advanced architecture in the Babel Tower.

“The ancient king’s massive solidified barrier.”

“To purchase, you need 1000 points. To activate, it costs 100 points each day. With special powers, you can create a barrier to seal off a city. Without permission from the Savior, no one who is not a god can enter or exit freely.”

Though the cost to purchase it was substantial, it was incredibly practical and exactly what the Babel Tower needed. Bai Yan understood this very well.

There was no choice. Extraordinary individuals from all over the World were flooding in, and even the Steel Throne seemed to be seeking help from beyond Noah’s world.

If they continued pouring into Tatsumi City unchecked, a sudden outbreak could lead to significant casualties.

“Open it.”

Bai Yan murmured softly.

Tatsumi City.

The lives of 30 million people in this city had undergone dramatic changes in the past six months.

They had witnessed various extraordinary occurrences, survived a terrifying doomsday crisis, and gradually began to trust and admire the mysterious salvation organization, Babel Tower.

Then, with the Leaf King becoming the leader of the Air Alliance, Tatsumi City suddenly became the new City of the Highest. The Imperial Guards and the Demon Hunt General Agency also relocated here.

For the people of Tatsumi City, it seemed there was nothing left in the World that could surprise them.

At that moment, on the windowsill at home, Sylve, who had been longing for that person, looked up.

She gazed outside in astonishment.

“What is that?”

In the sky, a massive golden light appeared, resembling an upside-down transparent bowl, instantly covering the entire city of Tatsumi.

The city was completely enveloped, and an unseen force severed its connection with the outside world.

“Huh, how strange.”

Outside Tatsumi City, a newfound extraordinary individual reached out to touch the barrier, only to be infused with a mysterious power that caused their soul to twitch uncontrollably. In an instant, they fell into a deep unconsciousness.

A boundless barrier separated Tatsumi City from the outside world!

“Um, is this the Babel Tower’s tactic, or rather, is it the Imperial Guards’ tactic? It is indeed a very powerful barrier, even we cannot break through it.”

At that very moment, not long ago, the group of five who had just escaped huddled together in a small space, observing Tatsumi City.

The small space was created by a masked woman, resembling a picturesque villa, filled with an Eastern style. But all the plants here were artificial. Except for the group of five, no other living creatures were present.

The masked woman said,

“My special space is also attached to Tatsumi City’s semi-plane. So, it seems that none of you can leave Tatsumi City either.”

The old dragon descendant coughed and said,

“Everyone, please find a way to obstruct the people at Babel Tower a little. Ahem, they are truly too arrogant.”

“I have a solution.”

The masked woman spoke playfully and then raised her hand, causing a halo to appear out of thin air. It seemed to connect to another special space attached to Tatsumi City.

Everyone looked into the halo.

There was another semi-plane attached to Tatsumi City.

Mu Ling’s home.

The masked woman said,

“This is the home of the Babel Tower hunting dog. Yes, she must have a family member here too.”

H1-K7 smiled and said,

“Alright, I will go and bring her family member here. Next time we encounter this fellow, we will have some backup… Dealing with that ability to manipulate time is indeed quite challenging and difficult to handle.”

Yuling furrowed her brow, feeling uneasy about it.

“We are righteous heroes who save the World. What difference is there between using such methods and being like the villains?”

However, if one must resort to some nefarious tricks to save the World, would that be acceptable?

She had just stepped out of her home for the first time and felt a bit bewildered facing such a situation.

But it seemed like everyone else didn’t mind at all.

However, there were others who opposed it.

“No need to bother, just destroy this place… It’s wicked and meaningless.”

The man wearing a mask with dragon patterns spoke.

The bald scientist wanted to argue, but he immediately felt a great pressure from the other person and dared not speak.

“Well, let’s leave it like this.”

The man with a mask patterned with dragons walked forward slowly, extending his hand with indifference.

“Extinguished.”

A tremendous impact instantly crossed through space, directly hurling towards the Mu family, as if the heavens and earth were being overturned!

In the next moment, the entire street within the barrier was reduced to flat ground, and only a cloud of dust remained.
