Chapter 455: The Standoff
“Acting.”
The Almighty remained calm, watching the Babel Tower group from behind the scenes.
Is this acting, right?
Pretending to have lost the will to fight, hoping to make themselves seem careless.
The Almighty’s foresight, a gift of mighty inspiration, gave her the ability to glimpse future images. Her psychic powers were immense, and occasionally, she could catch glimpses of events to come.
Even without clear evidence, the Almighty was certain: “Profligate” was simply pretending, putting on a performance.
In fact, the true capabilities of the Babel Tower had yet to be revealed.
Sure enough, even though Profligate seemed to have lost his will to fight, he immediately declared that the Savior of Babel Tower did not want them to leave the Giant Hive.
Do you not understand what it means to give up when things get difficult?
The Almighty smirked in the shadows, aware that they were feigning weakness, hoping to lower her guard.
“Unfortunately, the Savior of Babel Tower doesn’t realize that the more they act this way, the more cautious I’ll become. I can eliminate them without even needing to show my true self…”
With these thoughts in mind, the Almighty launched her next attempt.
However, in this new cycle, she failed to achieve her goal.
Her goal was to completely decimate the Babel Tower group, including her perfect clone—who held seventy percent of her power—and to intimidate the Savior.
She hoped to resolve everything without having to reveal her true form.
But the Almighty soon faced an unexpected challenge. Despite her vast knowledge, she realized she could not rely on her perfect clones alone to defeat Babel Tower’s members.
The opponent was formidable. Apart from relying on luck, they used clever tactics. Even the Savior of Babel Tower had the ability to summon more members, making it even more difficult for the Almighty to succeed.
Nightsaber, Profligate, and the mighty vampire joined forces, effortlessly defeating the perfect clone of the Almighty.
The Almighty behind the scenes furrowed her brow, a faint unease creeping into her thoughts.
In theory, she was invincible. No matter the mistakes made, she could always rewind time.
But what if… there was an opponent she couldn’t defeat?
No matter how many times she rewound time, there could still be foes she couldn’t solve… And such powerful enemies did exist.
Perhaps Babel Tower was one of them.
“Only if I and my clone combine forces will we have a chance to defeat all of Babel Tower’s members…”
Inside the Noy Military headquarters, a 155-floor building, there was a room with a simple yet classical charm. The furniture and decorations spoke of humanity’s touch.
In the room, the Almighty, with the same appearance as the girl who had once appeared before everyone, sat deep in thought, pondering the current situation.
“Once more…”
The cycle began again.
However, once again, the Almighty failed.
Over and over, time after time…
Mu Ling and the others showed no reaction, but Bai Yan felt mentally exhausted. Each time, he had to speculate on the Almighty’s thoughts while also controlling the actions of himself and his companions.
He couldn’t let Babel Tower reveal its full power and destroy the Almighty, scaring them into retreat.
But the Almighty couldn’t defeat Babel Tower easily without revealing her true form.
They had to force her to emerge!
“Defeating the boss isn’t difficult, but aiming for the platinum trophy is indeed a challenge…”
Bai Yan sighed, continuing the game with the Almighty.
The seventeenth time. Time rewound again.
This time, the Almighty was finally pushed to the brink of despair.
She learned something crucial.
If she didn’t risk everything, she would never be able to defeat Babel Tower and make them retreat.
Even with the power to rewind time, her remaining strong cards couldn’t provide her with the freedom she needed… No, it wasn’t about freedom.
Babel Tower was simply too powerful.
She couldn’t fathom how an organization, just over a year old, had become so formidable.
“Babel Tower… it’s truly terrifying.”
The mysterious Savior behind the scenes filled the Almighty with a sense of fear. For some reason, despite not being in a truly desperate situation, she felt a quiet awe toward the Savior of Babel Tower.
That presence was undeniably mighty.
And perhaps even more terrifying than the Heart of Radiance.
The Heart of Radiance had little influence in the World of Noah. Its true form was greatly restricted, which allowed the Almighty a chance.
But the Savior of Babel Tower had never truly appeared, yet they could easily influence the various nations of Noah’s world through powerful “pawns.”
What a frightening presence…
Perhaps one day, the Savior will control all of Noah’s world…
The Almighty murmured to herself, “If your goal is to force my true form out and kill me… that’s not a solution to time reversal. Killing my true form won’t stop time reversal.”
If killing her true form could stop time reversal, the Heart of Radiance would have already killed her.
Even if the true form were killed, her consciousness would transfer to a clone, and time reversal could still be initiated.
Her clone didn’t just exist in the clone production center. The Almighty had long hidden backup clones in secret locations around the world. Only she knew their locations.
She considered herself “invincible” because of these preparations.
“I always felt something was off.”
Mu Ling arrived at Partridge’s house once again. She furrowed her brows, feeling an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.
“Maybe… the Almighty has the power to foresee the future!”
Mu Ling, guided by a sudden idea, blurted out this unfounded judgment.
With only an hour left in the current cycle, she relied on her intuition to make this leap in logic.
“It’s not about foreseeing the future, but rather traveling back in time,” Bai Yan calmly revealed the truth, standing by her side.
Mu Ling and her companions were stunned.
In this cycle, they had learned about this horrifying ability for the first time.
“We’ve traveled back in time many times. During these instances, the great Savior has been engaged in a battle of wits with the Almighty,” Bai Yan continued.
“You’ve come here many times before.”
After Bai Yan spoke, he added, “The Savior told me all this information. It’s absolutely true.”
“I can’t believe it turned out like this…” Mu Ling was overwhelmed. She couldn’t process it all immediately.
Partridge, pale, realized how powerful the Almighty was, but had never imagined they were this formidable.
“Will we all die?” Partridge asked, trembling.
That person truly possessed such terrifying power. Elene was astonished but soon calmed down. What would they do next?
Elene took a deep breath, pulling out her notepad, and began writing down her thoughts slowly.
“So, what do we do now? If that’s the case, can we destroy the cloning facility without killing the Almighty?”
“In fact, the outcome was already decided,” Bai Yan spoke slowly. “Babel Tower will conquer the Almighty. There’s no doubt about it.”
After several rounds of confrontation, the Almighty had realized something crucial.
As the greatest fighting force, if she didn’t give it her all, she could never defeat Babel Tower.
Throughout the process, Bai Yan had been controlling Babel Tower’s strength.
The Almighty in the shadows began to feel a sense of illusion. Babel Tower was stronger than her clones, but its strength was still limited. If she herself joined the battle, she had a high chance of defeating everyone.
“The choices before the Almighty are simple… Either endure and survive, letting this city be ‘destroyed’ by us, or gather all her strength and attempt to kill us.”
“What do you think she’ll choose?” Bai Yan asked, smiling.
After a moment of silence, Mu Ling spoke, “It should be the first one, I think.”
“Isn’t she a cautious person? Even if we act recklessly, as long as she hides, she can survive a long time.”
“The second one,” Elene said after a moment of reflection, concentrating her psychic power and writing her thoughts on the message board.
“That thing hidden deep within her soul… it’s madness.”
There’s an old saying: Your enemies understand you better than your friends.
Elene knew that deep down, the Almighty was consumed by madness.
Normally timid and cautious, in critical moments, she would show no fear.
“I think the second possibility is more likely,” Bai Yan nodded.
“So, when will she attack?” Mu Ling didn’t question further but accepted her teammates’ judgment.
“Anything can happen at any time.”
Just as Bai Yan finished speaking, he suddenly felt a surge of inspiration. A tremendous threat was approaching.
Had they arrived?
Their determination to kill them was unwavering.
“Is this where we start?”
Bai Yan, Mu Ling, and Elene stood unafraid, but Partridge, overcome with fear, trembled and looked up toward the window.
Her expression turned horrified, and she cried out!
“In the sky… what is that?!”
A gigantic warship, nearly a thousand meters long and gleaming with silver-white light, appeared in the sky. Its sleek hull was covered in countless runes, radiating a power that invoked fear.
Bai Yan gazed outside, watching as the colossal figure filled the sky. It gathered tremendous energy, like a roaring tsunami.
“That’s not from Noah’s world… It’s assistance from the Almighty.”
