Chapter 454: Matryoshka
Once more?
“Why did you say it again?”
Mu Ling couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind the other person’s words. Only Bai Yan seemed to understand.
The Almighty, possessing the ability to turn back time, had observed Mu Ling’s abilities and actions multiple times. Yet, she hadn’t revealed her knowledge of these events.
In reality, whether she revealed it or not didn’t matter much. Bai Yan narrowed his eyes.
She must have figured it out.
The Savior of the Babel Tower could comprehend the concept of “time rewind.”
“Although, in many cycles, our reactions only varied slightly, someone as sharp as the Almighty would undoubtedly deduce the truth.”
“Hehe, this is getting interesting,” Bai Yan thought, likening the current situation to a set of nesting dolls.
“In other words, the Almighty now knows that I know about her ability to reincarnate, yet she pretends not to know that I know. And I know she knows and pretends not to know, but she’s still acting unaware of all this.”
Inside the Babel Tower, Bai Yan silently considered his next move.
This time, the opponent not only had “cheats” but was also a meticulous and ambitious individual. Fortunately, during the first cycle, Bai Yan had already discerned the opponent’s patterns.
Inside the Cloning Facility
“This is my power—the ability to exempt myself from harm. Your attacks are meaningless to me.”
The Almighty smiled, her gaze sharp as she observed Mu Ling and the others. The group was tense, watching her cautiously.
Yet, her words were a lie.
The immunity she claimed didn’t stem from her abilities. Instead, it was the result of a Civilization-level Relic in her possession.
The Almighty, who controlled the Giant Hive, had already plundered countless Relics from the fallen Noy Military and other regions. Among them were numerous Civilization-level artifacts, one of which was “Empty Past.”
This black, square-shaped box, when opened, revealed an empty interior etched with dazzling patterns. Its effect was terrifyingly simple: if a person wrote a “term” inside it an hour before use, they would be immune to anything related to that term for the next day.
Prior to this confrontation, the Almighty had written the term “weapon” inside the box.
As a result, when Mu Ling struck with her weapon, her attack was nullified—though she had clearly hit her mark.
The cost? Each use of Empty Past caused the user to randomly lose an item.
Mu Ling furrowed her brow in frustration, failing to understand why her attacks had no effect.
“What’s going on…?” she murmured, her confusion growing.
Elene, brimming with determination, launched an all-out psychic assault, but her efforts too proved futile. Her power seemed insignificant against the Almighty’s overwhelming presence.
Now it was Bai Yan’s turn.
The Almighty appeared to ignore the silent Profligate, yet her focus remained fixed on him.
Based on the information she had gathered, she had come to an important conclusion: the most dangerous presence in the Babel Tower wasn’t the women, but this man called “Profligate.”
“The Almighty,” Bai Yan began, his voice calm yet charged with intensity.
“Do you really think we don’t have a way to handle you?”
He sneered. “In fact, the great Savior has long known your secret!”
The Almighty’s pupils contracted slightly, though she quickly masked her reaction.
He knows…?
She feigned shock, her body trembling as she exclaimed, “No… Does He really know my secret?”
Mu Ling and the others were stunned, taken aback by the Almighty’s sudden display of fear.
Bai Yan nodded confidently, his laughter echoing through the room.
“Haha, yes! It’s time reversal! You possess the power to turn back time, don’t you, Almighty?”
The revelation left Mu Ling and her companions speechless.
The Almighty, however, remained composed.
“Even if you know, so what? My powers are unbeatable,” she said dismissively.
Her calm demeanor was a calculated move to gauge the Babel Tower’s response. She suspected they had a trump card.
The Almighty’s reasoning was simple: if the Savior of Babel Tower knew of her abilities yet still confronted her repeatedly, it meant they believed they could win.
But what was their plan?
Perhaps, she thought, they needed certain conditions to activate their trump card.
The Perfect Clone
To test her theory, the Almighty deployed a perfect clone of herself. This clone, capable of harnessing seventy percent of her power, lacked self-awareness and was controlled remotely.
She sent the clone to interact with the Babel Tower.
“I’ve revealed such a significant flaw,” she mused. “Savior of the Babel Tower, shouldn’t you now unveil your trump card?”
Bai Yan, ever the strategist, responded as though on cue.
“It seems I must do this,” he said.
A tremendous power began to gather around him, enveloping him in an aura that transformed his very presence.
With a flicker, Bai Yan summoned black flames—a destructive force that encircled the Almighty.
The Almighty recognized the flames immediately.
Her psychic powers were useless against them. She reached for a Civilization-level Relic that could counter the fire, only to find it missing.
“What?”
She froze.
Could this be the cost of Empty Past?
No, it couldn’t be. The combination of Blood Luck and Empty Past ensured she only lost trivial items.
As the black flames consumed her, the Almighty remained eerily calm.
“Ah… So this is your trump card—a relic or ability to manipulate luck. That’s all? How disappointing,” she said, her voice steady.
Yet, Bai Yan’s expression betrayed him.
“How is this possible? This… isn’t your true form?”
Mu Ling, too, was shocked by his reaction. She had never seen him so unsettled.
Suddenly, time rewound.
Everything reverted.
Partridge pointed towards a building in the distance.
“That’s my home,” she began, her voice trembling.
Before anyone could respond, Bai Yan interrupted. His face was pale, his composure shaken.
“We can’t defeat her. The Almighty is truly invincible. It’s better to retreat before we lose everything,” he urged.
Mu Ling and the others froze, unsure of what to believe.
