Chapter 464: Three People Unbox and Review!
Inside the Babel Tower, Bai Yan quietly observed the movements of the two sisters.
Evie’s power easily quelled the conflict among the people, preventing the bloody strife from escalating further. However, this could only provide a temporary solution.
Even if the target is just an ordinary person, they would not be permanently affected by Evie, who was not yet at Crown level. After a few days, the people here would return to their true nature.
In fact, at the awakening level, Evie was certainly not weak compared to her peers. One could even say she was quite outstanding. However, in the current Babel Tower, she was considered the youngest among her sisters.
As for Kaluoer’s final decision, Bai Yan also witnessed it. The path she decided to take was… only living for those who value her.
Bai Yan remained silent for a long time and murmured to himself, “Is this really your final decision, Kaluoer? Although your path seems similar to Alan’s, it’s actually quite different.”
He could understand Kaluoer’s thoughts.
In fact, Bai Yan had thought that Kaluoer would choose a more “selfish” path. The possibility she chose was… Assassin of Hades.
Later, Bai Yan clicked open the brand new character cards of several people. Without a doubt, the few who had already reached the Apocalypse had undergone tremendous changes.
First was Alan’s character card. His INT and skills both more than doubled, while his originally relatively low physical attributes skyrocketed, reaching the same level as his INT and skills. In addition, his charm also reached 10.
In Alan’s character card, there were two new traits added:
“Battle Master”: As the pinnacle among knights, you have endured endless trials and possess an extraordinarily advanced level of combat skills. You can effortlessly anticipate the majority of your opponents’ actions.
“Flaming Magic”: As a Sanction Knight, you possess the ability to ignite your own life essence, transforming it into magical energy. This greatly enhances the power of knightly magic.
Bai Yan, a skilled warrior, heard the tales of the renowned ‘Battle Master’ among martial artists. The concept of being ‘ahead of the rest’ fascinated him, yet the idea of ‘enduring endless trials’ left him filled with questions.
Trials? What a joke! Even though Bai Yan had undergone daily combat training and faced numerous battles, who hasn’t gained experience from climbing the Babel Tower?
Then, the effect of this Flaming Magic becomes easier to understand… spending one’s life, bursting with power.
The ability to challenge stronger foes is an essential trait, one that anyone lacking it doesn’t deserve to be called a hot-blooded protagonist.
“Ah.”
Bai Yan let out a sigh. Every time he looked at these guys’ character cards, he almost always wanted to make some remarks. But this time, there was no one beside him to listen to his remarks.
Perhaps, this is what loneliness feels like.
He continued to look on. In addition, Alan also gained two new powerful abilities:
“The Divine Judgment”: A mighty knight’s armor, comparable to a divine artifact, immune to all negative effects and attacks from Apocalypse, while greatly enhancing the effectiveness of knight’s magic.
“The Mastery of Knight’s Magic”: You possess numerous practical and straightforward knight’s magic abilities. They have a brief preparation time and produce direct effects, mainly used for enhancing, destroying, and defending.
His rank automatically reached the Plane of Creation.
Alan’s power became very strong. This was doubted by his mother, but the extent of his strength needed to be tested to know for sure.
Bai Yan tried his Power Possession and immediately discovered the effects of his new ability.
“The God of Punishment had a thought.”
He called out softly, and a set of completely different and magnificent armor appeared on his body. It was silver-gray and had a somewhat Chinese style, but there was also a cape… However, however you describe it, it looked very “edgy”!
Bai Yan thought that it was fine to wear this set of armor when no one was around, but he decided against transforming in front of a crowd.
After a while, Bai Yan arrived at a desolate wilderness within the territory of the Air Alliance. This was the place where he was going to conduct his evaluation.
“And so, it began.”
“Shattered”
Bai Yan smiled faintly, attempting to use the most powerful knight’s magic, “Shatter.”
Bai Yan could activate ‘Shatter’ in an instant. There was no need to charge up or prepare beforehand, and no incantations were required. At the exact moment Bai Yan cast the spell, he swung his fist towards a nearby mountain wall.
“Boom!”
A tremendous tremor came from the mountain wall, shaking the earth and causing the mountains to quake.
After the dust settled, Bai Yan gazed at the scene before him. With the strength from using “Shatter,” he effortlessly carved out a deep tunnel inside the mountain.
“In terms of power alone, the Scarlet Moon falls far behind when compared to its full potential. However, it has the advantage of being able to unleash its power instantly, without the need for any charging or preparation.”
In other words, this was just an enchanted strike of average strength.
“Alan, a young wizard, had the ability to defeat even the most powerful beings, called Crown-level extraordinaries, using only his fists.”
Although both were Apocalypse-level beings, the Apocalypse of Babel Tower often had a higher quality and strength compared to regular Apocalypses.
Bai Yan fell into deep contemplation, continuing to carefully ponder Alan’s fighting abilities.
“Just now, if I use ‘magic burning’ to describe that last strike, its power could still increase… Hmm, it can be activated instantly, and deactivated instantly. This way, there’s no need to worry about burning myself with one breath.”
Bai Yan concealed, sped up, healed, strengthened, dispelled evil… Bai Yan tried many different types of knight magic.
It’s still the same saying: Alan’s advantage lies in his versatility.
Once upon a time, he was a versatile “crispy” spellcaster, but now he has become… an all-around hexagonal powerhouse!
“Alright, Alan, that’s it for now.”
Bai Yan smiled as he used Power Possession on the Fusion Slime.
“You really are something, not opting for any possibility and staying in your original form…” he muttered to himself.
The slime appeared content with its current state. While it understood what had transpired in the special space, it no longer felt the need to pursue any unusual or peculiar paths. Alternatively, it could be interpreted as choosing the path of “being content with the present and going with the flow.”
It didn’t select any possibilities, nor did it entirely reject them. Like the Scarlet Moon, the slime had the ability to “transform shape,” enabling it to shift freely into different forms.
After the Apocalypse, the slime ascended to the Plane of Creation. Its skills and INT attributes only saw modest increases, but its physical attribute surged dramatically, more than doubling, surpassing the Scarlet Moon’s base attribute of twelve hundred and reaching a frightening figure of over one thousand five hundred.
The attributes grew notably, but only one new trait and one ability were added.
“Pure”: Nearly impervious to psychic powers and illusions, with formidable mental resistance.
Bai Yan recognized the significance of this new trait. The slime’s only previous vulnerability had been addressed; it was once susceptible to control by the little puppy, but now it could flip the tables and disgust the puppy.
“Splitting into Multiple Entities”: It could instantly divide itself into hundreds or even thousands of pieces, each with the ability to regenerate rapidly and return to its original form. As long as at least one piece remained intact, it would never truly perish.
This ability appeared to be a means of survival, capable of frustrating individual attackers.
However, after testing, Bai Yan discovered that it was far more powerful than it seemed, almost like something from a fantasy story!
“If you place a fragment of ‘yourself’ on the opposite side of the World before battle, even if all other ‘fragments’ are destroyed during the fight, you can effortlessly ‘revive’.”
It was quite devious!
In terms of raw strength, even though the attributes were higher, the Slime and the Scarlet Moon without skills would likely be evenly matched. But when considering vitality…
It might very well be the most resilient Apocalypse warrior in the World right now, in terms of physical durability.
With near invincibility, “energy exemption,” Deep Blue · Silence, and its impressive vitality, the Slime may be a lower-ranked Apocalypse warrior, but its resilience reached an extraordinary level.
It was truly a fortress disguised as a Slime—not an exaggeration, but the truth!
Even if the Slime were stationary, allowing Alan—who was also a lower-ranked Apocalypse warrior—to strike for ten days and nights, it wouldn’t cause much damage… unless, of course, Alan unleashed the Fire that Burns Everything.
“Moreover, with the crafty use of ‘original body division,’ I can’t even imagine how it could ever die… Thankfully, attack power and agility in Apocalypse aren’t particularly remarkable.”
Bai Yan smiled, knowing that the resilience of the Slime mirrored his own.
Finally, Kaluoer, the Apocalypse warrior, prepared for her unboxing review.
Assassin of Hades.
In that timeline, Kaluoer became an unaware and semi-undead being. Despite strong animosity from others, she fought alongside her sister. They never parted ways, with no hatred between them, as they pursued a shared goal.
In this timeline, the abilities in this Water World were stronger compared to other similar worlds. So Kaluoer ultimately made her choice.
Kaluoer reached the Creation Realm, where, like the Scarlet Moon, she didn’t reject other possibilities. They both had the ability to “transform,” unlocking other potential paths at any moment.
As a Core Operator, Kaluoer saw her physical and INT attributes increase by about twofold. Her skill attribute surpassed one thousand, making her the first Core Operator to achieve such a level.
Bai Yan glanced at her character card, reading through the descriptions of Kaluoer’s skills.
“The realm of non-humans, perfection without flaws.”
Such high praise was exceedingly rare.
In addition to that, she gained a new trait and three new abilities.
A new trait:
“Traceless”: You can instantly erase your presence, even standing before others without them noticing.
After reading the description, Bai Yan couldn’t resist making a sarcastic remark.
“In some games, when your stealth skill hits its maximum level, you can stand right in front of your enemy without being detected. So that’s what ‘traceless’ means, right?”
The three new abilities came from the “Assassin of Hades” potential.
“The Language of the Underworld”: Grants the ability to communicate with the dead and command spirits.
“Undying”: Your body becomes nearly indestructible, but any damage done doesn’t heal by itself and requires treatment… However, most healing abilities are harmful to you.
“Death Seal”: Any target killed by you will have their soul claimed by Death, preventing resurrection.
To be honest, Bai Yan felt that “Death Seal” was the most useful ability of the three.
In the later stages of Babel Tower, you’d always encounter enemies capable of reviving… like the Almighty’s developed consciousness transfer. Without a power to limit resurrection, you’d be frustrated many times.
“Power Possession.”
He took a deep breath and unleashed his Power Possession, Hidden Azure, immediately feeling transported into an otherworldly realm.
What a strange state this is!
At that moment, Bai Yan could sense the flow of the World, feel the energy winds, and even see some fundamental “threads” that made up the World.
He reached out and broke a line on a stone, and instantly, the entire stone crumbled to pieces.
Wasn’t this effect just…
No, though it might appear similar, this isn’t an instant-kill ability. It’s a skill that can destroy anything.
Once Kaluoer, who previously had the flaw of insufficient damage, entered Apocalypse, she unexpectedly gained “real damage,” now able to fight large enemies without being helpless.
Bai Yan’s mood grew steadily better. Babel Tower was incredibly powerful now!
With five Apocalypse-level powerhouses and his own hidden presence, this lineup could already be described as overwhelmingly strong—stronger than any nation in Noah!
He took a deep breath, trying to steady his excitement.
Finally, it was time to look at the character card of the new operator, “Innocent Singer.”
Bai Yan wasn’t thrilled to draw a new operator. Deep down, he hoped for a Sacred Rune instead.
Even though Innocent Singer is the strongest support, keeping her on pace with the other Babel Tower members would be no small feat.
The Crown Ceremony was always a troublesome event.
He murmured to himself, “Keep going, Miss Evie. I’ll overlook past grievances and properly nurture you.”
