Chapter 454: Matryoshka
Once more?
"Why do you say it again?"
Mu Ling couldn’t understand the meaning behind the words of the other person, only Bai Yan could comprehend what was going on.
The Almighty, who possesses the ability to turn back time, has observed Mu Ling’s abilities and effects more than once.
But he hadn’t revealed his memory yet.
However, in reality, whether it was revealed or not didn’t really matter.
Bai Yan narrowed his eyes.
She must have figured it out.
The Savior of the Babel Tower could understand the concept of "time rewind".
"Although in many cycles, our reactions only varied in minor details, a clever person like the Almighty should be able to deduce the true situation."
"Hehe, things just got interesting."
Bai Yan felt like the current situation was like 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 that she knows and pretends not to know, but she is still pretending to not know about this."
Inside the Babel Tower, Bai Yan silently pondered on what to do next.
This time, the opponent not only had "cheats," but was also an ambitious individual who started from scratch and was very cautious and careful.
Fortunately, during the first playthrough, Bai Yan had already discerned the opponent’s behavior patterns.
Inside the cloning facility.
"This is my ability, the power to exempt others… Your attacks are completely meaningless to me."
The Almighty smiled and looked at Mu Ling and the others, who were filled with caution and nervousness, and without hesitation, she spoke a lie.
In reality, the extraordinary power that just exempted harm didn’t actually come from the abilities of the Almighty.
But instead, it had the effect of a Civilization-level Relic.
The Almighty, in possession of the Giant Hive, nearly laid waste to the former high-ranking members of the Noy Military, collecting a multitude of Relics along the way.
Among them, she even obtained many Civilization-level Relics.
The accumulation of an entire city ended up in her hands.
"Empty Past," a square-shaped black box that can be opened from the bottom, revealing an empty interior adorned with dazzling and eerie patterns.
The effect of this Civilization-level Relic is that "an hour in advance, within the box, it appears as if there is a piece of paper, on which you can write a ‘term’. Throughout the following day, the person who writes the term will be immune to any impacts caused by such ‘terms’."
The Almighty had already comprehended Mu Ling’s abilities during a previous time backtrack. In advance, within the "Empty Past," she wrote down a term… "weapon."
So Mu Ling, wielding her weapon, launched an attack but it had no effect, even though she felt certain she had struck her target accurately.
As for the cost of using the Empty Past, each time the user would randomly lose an item.
Mu Ling couldn’t understand why her attacks had no effect at all.
"What’s going on…?"
She furrowed her brow, only knowing that this was definitely the work of some extraordinary power.
"Elene" Nian also tried to unleash extraordinary power, willing to risk her life, but her attacks were completely ineffective against the even more powerful "self."
Next, it was time for Bai Yan, who had yet to make a move, to step forward.
The Almighty seemed to not pay attention to the silent Profligate, but in reality, most of her focus was on this man.
Based on the collected information, she had already come to an important conclusion.
In the Babel Tower, the most difficult and thorny presence to deal with is not those few powerful women… Without a doubt, the most terrifying one is this man called "Profligate"!
"The Almighty."
He spoke.
"Don’t think about behaving recklessly, do you think we can’t handle you?"
Bai Yan suddenly sneered and said, "In fact, the great Savior has always known… your secret!"
Sure enough!
The Almighty’s pupils contracted as she understood the true meaning of "knowing the secret." The Savior of Babel Tower truly could perceive what had happened in the "time reversal"!
Her own guess was correct.
"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"
The Almighty pretended to look a little surprised, her body trembling slightly, before exclaiming in disbelief, "He…no… does He know my secret?"
Mu Ling and the three of them were all taken aback, not expecting the Almighty, who seemed to have the upper hand, to suddenly be filled with such terror.
Her secret?
What is that thing?
Bai Yan nodded eagerly and burst into laughter, saying, "Hahaha, yes, it’s time reversal! In fact, you possess the ability to turn back time, right? Almighty!"
Mu Ling and her two companions were shocked!
"Even if you know, so what? My powers are unbeatable," replied the Almighty dismissively.
Though she said these words, the Almighty’s true intention was to see how the Babel Tower would respond to her powers.
She knew that the Babel Tower’s Savior must have a hidden card up their sleeve!
The reason was simple, because the Savior of Babel Tower, knowing her abilities, relentlessly sent her subordinates to the Giant Hive, time and time again.
This just goes to show that in the Savior’s heart, Babel Tower actually had a chance of winning.
But the Almighty couldn’t figure out what the Babel Tower’s Savior had in mind.
It shouldn’t be something that could be won all at once. Maybe, it needed certain conditions…
The Almighty guessed that perhaps the Babel Tower needed to find its own self in order to unleash that trump card.
And so, the Almighty decided to give the Babel Tower a perfect opportunity.
She chose to go fishing for enforcement.
The Almighty started by taking out a perfect clone of herself from the inventory, to serve as a "scapegoat" for the ultimate deception trick.
This perfect clone could harness seventy percent of her power, but lacked self-awareness and could only be controlled by the Almighty through her psychic powers.
Then she manipulated her to interact with the people at the Babel Tower.
Now, I myself have come before you, and not only that, but right inside the very clone manufacturing center you intended to destroy.
I have already revealed such a big flaw, the Savior of Babel Tower, shouldn’t you unveil your trump card to kill me now?
"It seems that I must do this." Bai Yan said in a very cooperative manner.
"He arrived," whispered a voice.
The Almighty squinted her eyes, and then witnessed a scene that left her stunned.
A tremendous power was gathering, madly converging around Bai Yan. In an instant, he began to change in a unique way, and his entire presence underwent a transformation.
Tactical Card…
A Moment of Strong Luck Like a Deity!
After time rewinds, the Tactical Card that was previously used will automatically restore to its original state… Even though in theory, the interference of the annulus civilization’s power cannot reach Babel Tower, the "Babel Tower" game is surprisingly considerate in this aspect.
"Behold the mighty power of the Babel Tower!"
In the next moment, Bai Yan disappeared from sight. When he reappeared, he had summoned a fierce blaze of black flames, completely surrounding the Almighty.
The Almighty understood the power of this black flame, and she knew that her psychic powers were futile against it. However, she had a Civilization-level Relic that could help her escape from being engulfed by the Fire that Burns Everything.
At that moment, she discovered that her Civilization-level Relic had vanished without a trace.
What’s happening?
The Almighty immediately realized a possibility.
"Could it be that, because of the cost of ‘Empty Past’, that thing has been lost?"
This is simply impossible, because of the effect of ‘Blood Luck’, the cost that my ‘Empty Past’ has to pay will only result in the loss of completely unimportant items!
"Blood Luck" and "Empty Past" were a perfect combination!
When the Almighty’s body was surrounded by black flames, she finally understood the reason… There was a possibility that the overwhelming luck of the Savior had overshadowed her.
"Oh, I see now. The trump card is the ability or relic that can enhance luck forcefully, right? That’s all. It’s a bit disappointing… It seems the Babel Tower is just like that."
At the moment when she was engulfed by the black flames, the Almighty’s expression remained calm and serene.
Meanwhile, Bai Yan revealed a look of utter surprise and disbelief.
"How is this possible? Could it be that, the you here is not your original self?"
Mu Ling was also filled with astonishment as she looked towards Mr. Profligate.
She had never seen this man lose composure before.
Even when faced with the terrifying "Chosen for Eternity" back then, Mr. Profligate remained composed, showing no trace of fear.
"What on earth…"
She hadn’t had a chance to vocalize her confusion when suddenly, time rewound once again!
Everything started to rewind, and there was no power capable of stopping it.
—
The female partridge extended her finger, pointing towards a building not far ahead.
"The building ahead is my home away from home,"
"Run away!"
Mu Ling, Elene, and Partridge all froze as a sound just moments ago came from nearby.
They spotted Mr. Profligate beside them, his face filled with unease and fear at that moment.
Bai Yan took a deep breath, as if he had lost his fighting spirit, and tried to persuade everyone:
"The Almighty is truly invincible. We can’t handle her, so it’s better to retreat early before any casualties occur."
