Chapter 450: The Clash
The Almighty knew deep down.
He felt nearly invincible.
Maybe, inside the Giant Hive, he could even remove the word "nearly" from his thoughts.
Decades ago, the former Almighty was not yet referred to as "the Almighty," and was even just an ordinary extraordinary individual living in the Ring City.
Back then, he was actually an "Explorer," a not very common profession of extraordinary individuals, even within the Ring City.
The Explorers were adventurous souls, who made use of various rifts in time and space to journey into all sorts of unknown worlds, seeking anything that could bring them benefits.
High risk, high reward.
Sometimes, when you venture into the unknown universe, you can instantly meet your demise.
Sometimes, the cause of death remains unclear.
More than ninety percent of explorers don’t survive beyond a year, but there are also a very few who become overnight riches, and even fewer, less than one in ten thousand, who gain enviable powers!
The person with no other options easily finds themselves on this path.
And in the special environment of the Ring City, there have always been many people with no other options. In this world of despair, where social mobility is nearly nonexistent, being at a dead end is an all too common situation.
The Almighty back then was such an Explorer.
With nowhere to turn, burdened by a massive debt, if she didn’t embark on a journey into the unknown, she would perish instantly.
He was strong enough, possessing the power of a Crown level, to repeatedly face death’s perils and come back to life.
However, luck had never graced him.
Even though he journeyed through many peculiar and mysterious worlds, facing various sleepless dangers, he still couldn’t find anything of great value to repay his debts.
The explorers of the Ring City, mostly ventured through time and space rifts to worlds where life, or rather, souls existed.
In fact, extraordinary beings who engage in time and space travel generally don’t journey to lifeless worlds.
Because in the multiverse, a vast majority of time and space travel techniques and abilities are fundamentally grounded in the Soul Dimension.
Of course, there are also civilizations and individuals who have not discovered the existence of souls, yet have acquired the ability to perform space jumps, time travel, and navigate through inter-dimensional wormholes. Consequently, they would foolishly wander aimlessly through the vast cosmos, with a probability exceeding ninety-nine point nine nine nine nine percent of ending up in an empty void of universe.
But every single world he had visited, without exception, was not a place suitable for normal trading and living. The encounters were either with monsters or even more peculiar and terrifying beings.
The impoverished Almighty, after selling off her belongings, made a daring decision to gamble everything in exchange for powerful artifacts.
His luck had finally arrived, as he chanced upon a Civilization-level Relic disguised as a high-level Relic at the auction.
Blood Luck, on the surface, appeared to be nothing more than a crimson ring, ordinary in appearance, only emitting a faint glow under the moonlight.
This was, in fact, a mighty Civilization-level Relic, but it came with a cost that was too perilous.
The effect of Blood Luck is that it greatly enhances the luck of its bearer!
However, the price to activate it was incredibly heavy… the life of the user’s closest relative.
The Almighty, a woman with children and parents, didn’t hesitate and began to crazily wield the mighty power of Blood Luck, without any restraint.
He quickly became strong, wealthy, and even fortunate enough to discover the remnants of an advanced civilization!
After obtaining the tremendous power of the annulus civilization, he, who called herself the Almighty, was discovered by the top executives of the Rock Morgan group. The agents who came knocking at his door nearly killed him.
However, in the end, the Almighty managed to escape from the Ring City and arrived at the colossal hive of Noy’s military.
In the following decades, the Almighty successfully took over, defeated the original board of directors of Noy Military, and became the sole ruler of this place.
Using the technology of cloning, he began mass-producing blood relatives. With the power of the annulus civilization, he sealed off the Giant Hive, completely blocking information. He nurtured the belief of the people in himself and continuously enhanced his power by various means.
Heart of Radiance.
The terrifying entity noticed his danger and, willing to permanently sacrifice its power, personally descended to launch an attack, aiming to eliminate the Almighty.
In just a moment, he was killed.
The power of the advanced deity was simply too overwhelmingly strong.
However, after her death, the Almighty was once again revived and even discovered something strange about "time". She realized that she had been saved by a basic protective device possessed by members of the annulus civilization…
The power of time reversal!
Although it was merely a civil technology, it was indeed the core part of power within the annulus civilization. Both the Outer God and the higher civilizations were powerless against this kind of force.
Later, even the Heart of Radiance was rendered helpless against him.
The Almighty, who was a female, has now fully understood.
I am invincible!
In a few hundred years, at most a few thousand years, he will harness the belief of all the beings within the Giant Hive and complete the "Faith Empowerment" in the Ultimate Ritual of ascending to godhood, becoming a true deity.
When that time comes, even the majestic Rainbow up high will eventually become his slave.
Everything was planned with unparalleled perfection.
However, the sudden arrival of the Doomsday Crisis posed a threat to the Almighty.
This world, unfortunately, won’t last much longer.
Even if she had the power to go back in time, if she didn’t leave soon, she might end up in a future she couldn’t escape from.
Then, the Babel Tower appeared.
That was a mysterious organization that had already existed before the Doomsday Crisis, and quickly became famous after it. The Almighty, at first, simply made note of the name without giving it much thought.
Because inside the Giant Hive, there had been no trace of any members from the Babel Tower.
However, the current situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
The Almighty could not have predicted that Elene, the leader of the rebellion, would suddenly become a member of the Babel Tower.
And this mysterious organization suddenly made its intentions clear, expressing its desire to crush him.
Even though she felt a bit troubled, the Almighty didn’t feel the least bit panicked.
Even if the Savior behind the Babel Tower is a deity, what difference does it make?
With the power of the annulus civilization, he was absolutely invincible!
After triggering time reversal once again, he utilized the discovered weakness of the Babel Tower and successfully forced them to retreat.
"But…from the information I have just gathered about the Babel Tower, they will not easily give up."
In fact, Xue, the Almighty, is fully aware of the terror of the mysterious organization, Babel Tower.
Up until now, it seems that they have never failed at anything they set out to do.
They had nothing at all.
This made the Almighty ponder a possibility.
Perhaps the Savior of the Babel Tower possesses extraordinary powers similar to one’s own?
Although this possibility seemed highly unlikely, the Almighty became more and more cautious after becoming "the Almighty," realizing that she could never let her guard down.
Once any danger beyond his control arose, he would immediately unleash his powers to turn back time!
In the following days, indeed, the Babel Tower once again showed signs of activity.
But this time, their actions were different from before. Instead of rushing to destroy the cloning center, they quietly infiltrated the place where the Almighty was.
The Almighty is currently located at a nest on the edge of the Giant Hive. In fact, being overly cautious, she changes her position every few days.
Why are they able to find my location?
The Almighty felt a bit puzzled, but she wasn’t too surprised. After all, there were countless mystical powers in World, so it was quite normal for the Babel Tower to have the ability to locate her.
However, they could never defeat her, no matter what.
They could never reach the truth that would end her life!
The Almighty saw the presence that came to kill her.
That was a woman whose blood burned, a majestic figure among the blood clan. Though she held a middle-ranked position in the Apocalypse, her spirit was just as formidable as his, if not more.
In the instant after the confrontation, the Almighty launched "time regression" without any hesitation.
Although he didn’t consider himself weaker than the opponent, he still felt a small chance of losing… In his youth, he was a gambler, but now he didn’t want to take any risks.
The victory rate had to be one hundred percent!
—
"The building in front is my home from the outside."
Partridge smiled and pointed to a house not far away.
Bai Yan nodded gently, but suddenly returned inside the Babel Tower.
In an instant, memories synchronized.
He gave a faint smile and murmured to himself,
"Another time rewind… hehe, the valuable information obtained this time is that the divine Scarlet Moon has comparable combat power to the Almighty, and with the support of the Tactical Card, she even has a chance to defeat her opponent alone."
"There are no problems with our fighting abilities, now we need to figure out how to eliminate all of ‘them’ in a short amount of time."
