Bai Yan smiled at the two girls. After acquiring Psychic Dancer’s power through Power Possession, he could now not only listen to their thoughts but also transmit his own.

However, Psychic Dancer could no longer actively hear his thoughts.

‘So, what about the price of not being able to talk to girls? I will obtain her power.’

‘By the way, the little girl scolded me secretly just now. Should I punish her by making her stand upside down on the table for ten minutes?’

Both girls had countless questions to ask. There were too many uncertainties, and both had thought extensively about their experiences during this period.

Maryse remained silent, pressing her pink skirt while observing the situation discreetly.

In truth, she dared not say much for now. Facing this mysterious entity who could completely control her, she harbored a constant sense of fear in her heart.

Mu Ling sat back and asked respectfully, “First of all, I really want to know one thing. Mr. Savior, why did you choose us?”

Maryse had wanted to ask this question as well: why had he chosen them?

But since Nightsaber had already asked, Maryse felt she need not inquire further, secretly grateful to have such a straightforward companion as Nightsaber.

Bai Yan replied calmly through his thoughts.

[Because you can save the world.]

[Countless people in the world are stronger than you, but few have the possibility of saving the world. You two can.]

‘The possibility of saving the world? We are two of them?’ Mu Ling and Maryse exchanged glances, puzzled by this fateful answer.

It seemed they were truly special, chosen by destiny.

Maryse suddenly spoke in a respectful tone, “Dear Savior, may I ask how many members remain in Babel Tower, and might we meet them?”

Bai Yan had already prepared responses to all their potential questions over the past few days, and Maryse’s inquiry was among them.

He answered without hesitation.

[There are many more members of Babel Tower, but they are fighting across various parts of the world, even in other worlds, so you cannot meet them yet.]

Both Mu Ling and Maryse were astonished. It turned out there were numerous members of Babel Tower, fighting even in other worlds. Babel Tower was such a formidable mysterious organization with influence extending throughout the multiverse. Truly frightening!

The Air Alliance likely stood no chance against Babel Tower.

There was a crucial question Maryse couldn’t resist asking, “Savior, will this world truly come to an end?”

‘I have anticipated your questions.’ After all, Bai Yan had always been intelligent since childhood.

He responded to them again.

[In less than three months, the world will be destroyed.]

What!

Both Mu Ling and Maryse were stunned. They never expected time would be so limited. The entire world would end in three months? Would there be enough time to save it?

[But Babel Tower will save everything. At least, we must try.]

[And you are my chosen executors.]

[The possibility.]

Mu Ling bowed again and said with serious eyes, “Regardless of the final outcome, thank you for the strength and for helping me take revenge. Since you helped me gradually restore my family’s glory, I pledge my allegiance to you, even unto death.”

Maryse looked at Nightsaber and wondered, “Is this girl from a fallen family?”

Bai Yan gazed at Mu Ling calmly and answered.

[You merely receive the reward you deserve.]

“I have a small suggestion, if I may voice it,” Maryse raised her hand and said bravely. “Could you cease controlling our bodies at will? You could assign us tasks and let us complete them ourselves.”

“Well, when there are more members in the future, I will activate automatic mode for you,” Bai Yan thought silently.

[Certainly, but not for now, because you are too weak.]

[Do you believe you could defeat powerful enemies with your current strength?]

The two girls exchanged glances. Indeed, relying on their own power to fight, they would have perished many times.

In fact, they had attempted to complete tasks independently numerous times, not knowing how often they would have died.

Mu Ling contemplated briefly, then looked at Maryse and said persuasively, “This is all for saving the world. It’s natural to feel pressure and face difficulties, and we have already gained considerably.”

“Things are satisfactory now.”

‘What the hell?’ Maryse felt very frustrated. She understood that “being controlled” would continue, but she merely wanted to test the waters and perhaps gain additional benefits from her Savior.

Unexpectedly, Nightsaber had taken the Savior’s side! Moreover, was his goal truly to save the world?

To her knowledge, at least ten cults in Noah proclaimed salvation doctrine!

Unlike the loyal Mu Ling, Maryse differed completely. She preferred obtaining more rewards while performing simple tasks.

Well, that seemed unlikely.

Bai Yan remained silent, but he had heard both girls’ thoughts completely.

First, Nightsaber proved such a loyal member.

Second, Maryse, you greedy little cutie. Don’t worry, I shall arrange several training sessions for you shortly!

Maryse, unaware of the impending retribution, spread her hands and said helplessly, “Oh, but I’m under tremendous pressure daily. Last time I had to hold my bladder while fighting, it was truly uncomfortable… Though I managed in the end.”

“And I fear that one day the DHA will detain me. I heard they confine prisoners in finger-sized capsules and insert urinary catheters. A prisoner would remain immobile for life.”

Mu Ling explained calmly, “That’s merely a rumor; only special inmates receive such treatment from DHA.”

Maryse frowned and retorted irritably, “Dangerous individuals like us, who can vanish into black mist at any moment – wouldn’t we be considered special prisoners?”

Mu Ling hesitated, unable to guarantee otherwise. After all, she wasn’t a night watchman, and much of her DHA knowledge came from elders.

“Sorry, I don’t know.”

Maryse shook her head and said, “If you’re uncertain, don’t make baseless claims. These are just possibilities! Or would you like to try a urinary catheter?”

Mu Ling frowned slightly, noting the little girl’s increased aggression since their last meeting. What had changed?

Mu Ling suspected Psychic Dancer came from nobility, but something seemed amiss.

Generally, noble-born girls didn’t display such poor breeding.

Truthfully, Maryse felt liberated now. No more psychic power! No more wearing a harmless disguise to smile at those inexplicably repulsive family members!

Being herself brought such joy!

Maryse waggled a finger, looked at Savior and said, “Savior, we need enhanced security, superior power, and relics. Well, the more the better.”

[Psychic Dancer, while greed is human nature, it’s wise not to be insatiable,] Bai Yan warned in an utterly calm tone.

Maryse’s mouth twitched slightly before she quickly responded sweetly, “However, dangers come with benefits. Lord Savior’s arrangements are excellent. I truly enjoy the feeling when you make us demonstrate our abilities. From now on, I, Psychic Dancer, swear allegiance to the great Babel Tower! Master, I shall execute your every command!”

Bai Yan was amazed; he had never encountered such an… interesting person before.

Mu Ling shook her head gently, “Savior, might you summon us regularly in the future? Fighting alone proves quite challenging. Perhaps we could benefit from exchanging information with each other.”

This proposal aligned perfectly with Bai Yan’s desires.

[Of course, every ten days, I shall collectively summon the new members of Babel Tower.]

‘A meeting every ten days?’ Maryse froze. ‘Well, I shall commence work immediately!’

Maryse looked at Nightsaber and said with a smile, “Sister, who are you? Would you share your story?”

Mu Ling shook her head and replied seriously, “Not unless you first reveal your true identity.”

Maryse continued smiling, “Actually, I’m a poor orphan… Never mind, let’s not fabricate stories. Indeed, we still lack sufficient trust.”

The two girls felt some mutual goodwill, but not enough to entrust each other with their true identities.

It remained too dangerous.

Mu Ling turned to “Savior” and asked, “How shall we handle the Black Star Faction? I understand Mr. Mystery possesses considerable power.”

[I have plans.]

[Nightsaber, Psychic Dancer.]

[That concludes today’s meeting. I’ll return you to Noah.]

[I await your performance.]

Was this truly not Noah but the outer world? Mu Ling and Maryse marveled again, speculating about Savior’s true nature.

Could he be a recently awakened ancient god, or an equally powerful entity? Babel Tower contained endless mysteries and unfathomable depths of power. The only certainty was that this organization wielded terrifying might beyond ordinary comprehension.

Mu Ling rose again, bowed with hands crossed over her chest and said, “Master, Nightsaber awaits your instructions.”

Maryse also stood promptly and said, “Psychic Dancer awaits your instructions.”
