Chapter 426: Chaos
The Golden Palace unleashed divine lightning from the sky, vanquishing a reckless superhuman.
Tatsumi City, Platinum Zone.
On top of a tall building, Miss “Justice,” the fairy North, held her cellphone, taking a deep breath. With a serious tone, she said,
“The people of the Babel Tower had just received some information… Among them were individuals who possessed the power of the mind, and they had learned the truth of this great event from the minds of certain outsiders…”
She paused, her gaze firm.
“These strangers’ goal is to unlock the seal of the Black Abyss Deep Sea using a ‘key.’ The crucial ‘key’ is hidden within one of the more than a thousand souls in Tatsumi City. This is the list of those people… We must quickly protect all of these over a thousand individuals.”
The White Lion, named “Power,” also stood on the rooftop. With his strong hands, he held an outsider summoned by the Steel Throne. The outsider’s mouth and nose were covered in blood, indicating severe injuries.
“If these fellows don’t suddenly start a riot, it will be really difficult to find them…”
The White Lion furrowed his brow, his fur scrunching. “It’s really strange. Even if we truly have a traitor among us, it’s terrifying how perfectly they have concealed the whereabouts of these people.”
“Uh, you betrayed ‘Rainbow’ and tried to destroy this world. You will definitely meet a bad ending!”
Just then, the man held by the White Lion coughed up blood, his eyes wide open as he frantically cursed his enemies.
The White Lion remained silent for a moment, then replied calmly,
“I want to give you the same words.”
The man looked up at the sky, laughing heartily and angrily, “I have a clear conscience! Noah is where I call home, and it is our duty to contribute to saving this world… While you, as the Imperial Guards of the Air Alliance, are hailed as the unbreakable shield, respected by all, yet you have chosen to assist the Outer Gods. It is truly shameful!”
North’s face turned pale as she argued,
“No, that’s not true! The Steel Throne is the one who’s bad! Both Babel Tower and us are the good guys!”
The White Lion chuckled softly.
“There’s no way to reason with them; they believe they are saving the Steel Throne, while we don’t believe so, and we both have our reasons… Those who refuse to believe in the Steel Throne wouldn’t even come to Tatsumi City in the first place.”
“North,” he said suddenly, “in the end, we might have been deceived ourselves. Who knows?”
“How can it be?” North immediately wanted to argue. “The Steel Throne killing the Recluse is a fact!”
The White Lion continued,
“However, no matter what, only ‘strength’ can determine the ultimate truth, and only ‘strength’ is the most important factor in deciding the outcome.”
The man, hearing their words, seemed to realize these people were not entirely wicked but merely “deceived.” He tried his best to persuade them kindly.
“My mother once had a car accident, almost dying. It was the Steel Throne that created a new medicine, and it cured her… Ever since the Steel Throne gave the power of industrialization to the Noah people, many people have been able to have enough to eat and wear, and many people have been able to live longer… It is the kindest god.”
“I wasn’t deceived, it was you who were deceived by the foreign Saviors of the Babel Tower. There’s still time to regret, please, this world must not be destroyed.”
He spoke at last, with true feelings and urgency.
North fell into deep thought. She knew that if there was no Steel Throne in Noah, many people might still be struggling to survive. Not to mention the convenience of mobile phones, the internet, and many other things.
Therefore, many people believed that the Steel Throne was the most important and benevolent deity in the “Rainbow.”
For some reason, the White Lion’s tone suddenly became incredibly calm:
“You might be right, and I don’t believe in any suddenly appearing Saviors either…”
“But I believe in Mr. Xia, and we witnessed a completely different Steel Throne… It is the one who killed our comrade and is the enemy that must be defeated!”
The man, seeing the Imperial Guards were unyielding, gritted his teeth in frustration, but there was nothing he could do.
Nora asked,
“What should we do with him? Tatsumi City is currently in chaos, and there are other incidents happening elsewhere. Should we bring him back to find Sister Shi? It is possible, but it’s a waste of time.”
“Um, there’s not enough time, sorry.”
After the White Lion spoke, he suddenly punched, shattering the man’s skull.
North widened her eyes in disbelief.
“Why did you kill him? He was just deceived, he wasn’t a bad person!”
“You just said, no time left.”
The White Lion smiled, a hint of bloodlust in his eyes. “He isn’t a bad person, but I am not a good one.”
Yes, this guy has never been a kind person. Saving people on a regular basis was merely part of Mr. Xia’s mission, and North understood her companion all too well.
North, with the codename “Justice,” suddenly felt dizzy. Bad people wanting to save the world, and good people wanting to destroy it… What on earth is happening to this world? Why is everything so chaotic?
Boom!
They looked into the distance, where loud bursts and flames were rising up between the streets and buildings, one after another. Tatsumi City had been becoming more and more chaotic.
“Let’s go, we don’t have much time. If you don’t hurry, more innocent people will die… There should only be the two of us from the nearby Imperial Guards.”
After the White Lion finished speaking, he left the rooftop without even looking back.
North gritted her teeth and followed.
Not long after, they arrived at the location where the street had been attacked. Flames surged up the buildings, but they didn’t see anyone fleeing in all directions.
“It’s strange,” she thought.
North furrowed her brow, sensing something was amiss.
It seemed as if all the people had disappeared.
Not only in front of her eyes, but also within a few kilometers of the surrounding buildings, the ordinary people’s presence seemed to have vanished without a trace.
What’s going on?
White Lion glanced at the chaotic scene and asked Nora,
“Do you think I was wrong to kill that person just now? They were valiant warriors with a noble cause, but should the people here be sacrificed?”
North shook her head. “Let’s not talk about it. Saving people… even though I can’t sense anyone nearby.”
Right at that moment, the two of them were momentarily surprised.
A gigantic figure slowly emerged from behind the buildings. It was incredibly massive, yet moved without revealing any signs of its presence.
It was a tremendously large, beetle-like creature, the size of a small mountain, making its way between the buildings.
North and the White Lion felt a chill run through their hearts as soon as they laid eyes on it, and INT sounded the alarm.
“What is this creature?”
“I don’t know! But I can feel it, this guy is very strong!”
The enormous creature, like a Black Mountain, turned around, and on its back was a hauntingly large human face.
“Hmm?”
“In this world, among many tiny bugs, two slightly bigger ants finally appeared… Oh, mysteriously, all the ordinary people in this city suddenly vanished.”
“I am one of the three kings of the Doomsday Race, Black Mountain… Who are you?”
North didn’t answer. Instead, with a serious tone and earnestness, she asked,
“Should we escape?”
She could sense that her opponent was a powerful being of the Apocalypse level, while she herself was just a middle-ranked Crown, with the Lion being slightly superior as a crowned ruler… But the gap was still too evident.
Before the White Lion could speak, Black Mountain immediately responded.
“Wanna run away?”
Suddenly, a black insect leg shot out from its massive belly, moving with astonishing speed.
Meanwhile, the White Lion didn’t have a chance to react and was instantly stomped hard, sinking deep into the ground!
“Ah!”
North gasped, clutching a white sword in her hand, and without hesitation, fiercely attacked the insect leg.
But in an instant, despite launching a series of attacks, there was no sign of damage—only some minor scratches remained.
“Hahahaha!”
Black Mountain, the human face on the back of this black armored beetle, laughed heartily.
“With your strength alone, even if you attack for ten thousand years, you won’t be able to kill me! It’s better not to struggle and become nourishment for me!”
Frustration gripped North. How could there be no match for the strength of a lion?
She discovered the vast difference in strength between the two sides, and her heart was filled with a mix of emotions.
How could she have encountered such a powerful opponent? She couldn’t even put up a fight—was she going to perish here?
Just at that moment, a golden streak of light flew in from the heavens and landed heavily on the back of the black beetle.
The enormous beetle, as big as a small mountain, was pushed back by the force of the blow.
The White Lion also emerged from underground in a sorry state. Just as it had barely caught its breath, it saw the person who had rescued them.
Aurora asked,
“Are you all okay?”
Aurora, the Sacred Heart’s Chosen, who had already arrived at the Potential Apocalypse, made her entrance, with her knights standing around her.
She had just gathered the power of everyone and launched an attack from the sky, forcefully pushing back the monstrous creatures of the Apocalypse with a single strike.
The people of the Babel Tower,
were they?
The White Lion glanced at the
other and began to ponder.
“This monster is very strong,
be careful,” North shouted
loudly.
Aurora appeared in Noah’s
world during a mission, and
both the White Lion and North
recognized her.
She was indeed one of the
core members of the Babel
Tower.
Black Mountain made a sound
once again,
“Hehehe, members of the
Babel Tower, huh? Nullify
seems to know something
about the Babel Tower’s plan…
I have actually never heard
about you, but I know more
about the ‘Tower’.”
“Nullify … this guy is the
subordinate of the Hundred-
Armed Giant!” North exclaime
in astonishment, recognizing
the other person’s true identity.
The Doomsday Race, a term
familiar to those well-versed in
mysticism, had always been
heard of, but very few knew of
Nullify.
Even though Black Mountain
was pushed back by the
attack, it remained completely
fearless.
It arrogantly swung its black
insect legs, which resembled
dark iron pillars, relentlessly
crashing down on everyone.
“Be careful!” Aurora exclaimed
immediately.
Next, Aurora, the White Lion,
North, and the knights
frantically dodged the attacks,
holding on for dear life.
But what truly made them feel
helpless was that no matter
how they attacked, they were
unable to break through the
opponent’s armor.
Even with a full-force strike, it
only made the opponent take a
step back. Aurora could
clearly see that the monster in
front of them was almost
impervious to their strikes.
