Chapter 471: A Thousand Years in an Instant
“Thank you all so much.”
In a hospital within the Giant Hive, several severely disabled patients stood up once again, bringing immense joy to their families.
The patients’ bodies had completely healed, and at this moment, they were deeply moved.
They knelt on the ground, offering thanks to the magnificent Babel Tower, as well as to the few cloned humans and Omnic beings sent before them.
In truth, the powerful healing technology had always been controlled by the Noy Military.
The Noy Military possessed the remarkable ability to easily treat most physical injuries, and they could even restore one’s mind if it was damaged. They also provided paid medical services to the entire world. The medical teams under their organization had formidable combat abilities and were equipped with powerful superhuman abilities, magical chips, and magical weapons.
However, these medical techniques had never been used for civilian purposes.
Whether it was the previous Noy Military or the Noy Military under the control of the Almighty, they had never considered using their advanced medical technology to benefit the people of the Giant Hive.
Bai Yan had made a decision. He had decided that all the medical technology possessed by Noy Military would now be available to the public. From now on, all those in the Giant Hive who supported the Babel Tower and possessed the Brand would be able to receive free medical treatment.
Medical technology was only one aspect. Bai Yan carefully selected technologies within the Noy Military and made them available for civilian use, providing a large amount of free or low-cost services to ordinary people.
In truth, the Noy Military possessed tremendous production power and numerous advanced technologies. If they truly desired, they could enable the ordinary people of the Giant Hive to live much better lives.
But there was no other way. The inertia of power and capital made them yearn for more.
In the minds of the executives in Night Union, the notion of “things without any benefit” had never been considered. For the majority of ordinary people, they were simply not regarded as equals by the Noy Military.
From a certain perspective, the present Bai Yan, too, didn’t view most ordinary people as equals.
But he had already embraced himself as the true Savior, full of “pride.”
And now, he was willing to help others without seeking any benefits, even in situations where he incurred losses.
Inside the Babel Tower, Bai Yan, seated on the throne, held a mobile phone in his hand and skillfully assigned weekly missions, daily tasks, and daily training to the people of the tower.
Nian, who had been strolling along the streets, was also directly sent to training by him.
In the training grounds, Nian, who hadn’t yet understood the situation, was forced to confront attacks from all directions. If she didn’t use her psychic power to defend herself, she would have been left completely vulnerable and battered by the sudden onslaught.
This inhumane training made Nian realize just how terrifying the Babel Tower’s Savior could be.
But she quickly adapted.
Her speed of adaptation exceeded Bai Yan’s expectations.
And, she unlocked a new trait: “Training Enthusiast.”
“Training Enthusiast”: She can practice at any time, never tiring easily, and her mood remains unshaken during training.
“Um, it seems there is another ‘dirty fellow’ besides Mu Ling.”
Bai Yan gazed at this new trait, recalling something from the past. Back then, he used to complain about Mu Ling’s “negative attitude towards work.”
At that time, he didn’t know that they were both real beings.
Game Tip:
Suddenly!
Moment of truth, the mission has been activated.
Familiar red words appeared suddenly on the screen of the phone, with no warning at all.
Bai Yan blinked for a moment, knowing in his heart that the “moment of truth” tasks were necessary. They would likely influence the future of Babel Tower, perhaps even the outcome itself.
“Um, you need three members from the Babel Tower, right?”
Bai Yan glanced at the screen and noticed that both Scarlet Moon and Maryse, along with Alan, had already been assigned tasks by him. They were all out battling beyond the Noah world, and were temporarily unavailable.
“Very important mission… It’s best to let Apocalypse handle the situation.”
Bai Yan thought for a moment about Mu Ling, who was currently training. Should he interrupt her training?
After considering it, he decided to let the remaining Apocalypse, Kaluoer, take charge.
Since that’s the case, the three chosen members of Babel Tower would be himself, Kaluoer, and Evie.
“Perfect! After Evie entered Babel Tower, she still hadn’t completed any tasks related to the tower, and lacked experience. Let’s send the two sisters on a journey together.”
Bai Yan slowly stood up, and both his and Kaluoer’s strength were unquestionable.
Now, the new “decisive moment” task was almost certain.
He clicked again.
The red text on the phone continued to appear, drifting downward.
“Welcome back…”
“Enos civilization.”
Rain.
Black rain fell from the sky, filling the air with a metallic scent.
In the dark night, no stars could be seen.
The enormous magical machine roared throughout the night. Even though it was late, the workers never stopped laboring.
Hoth. Enos’s famous industrial city.
In the empty square at the heart of the city, a thick black mist slowly dispersed, revealing three individuals who should not exist in this world.
“Splat.”
A middle-aged man in a black suit, streaks of gray in his hair, raised the black umbrella in his hand.
He gently turned his head and gazed at the steel sculpture not far away.
“It turns out, this is World…”
The steel sculptures depicted two women, one tall and graceful, the other petite. They stood side by side, gazing into the distance.
The plaque below read:
“In remembrance of the brave hero of Babel Tower a thousand years ago, who made great contributions to the revival of Enos.”
Bai Yan took a deep breath, looking at the numerous steel structures around him, feeling a sense of wonder.
In the diverse universe, the rate of time varies completely across different worlds.
It had already been a thousand years, here.
“Where am I?”
Evie looked around in astonishment. She had been abruptly brought here while eating. Everything around her was unfamiliar, causing a sense of panic.
But when she saw Kaluoer beside her, her heart calmed instantly.
Kaluoer remained expressionless, accustomed to Babel Tower sending her various unexpected tasks.
She simply gazed at the man in front of her, who happened to be the lord she served daily, Viscount Edmond, the “Keeper of Secrets” of the Babel Tower.
Evie noticed that she and her little sister had not been splashed by the rain.
She looked up and only then noticed a black umbrella floating in mid-air, seemingly controlled by the middle-aged man before her.
“Edmond, how could it be you? Why are you here? Wait a moment, I heard the voice of the savior before I arrived. This must be the task of the Babel Tower, right? Why did you appear?”
Evie quickly recognized the identity of the middle-aged man, and her mind felt momentarily confused. She was unsure about the current situation.
Viscount Edmond, Bai Yan said, his tone slow and magnetic, almost like a true gentleman.
“Things have come to this point, Princess of Dark Light, I should no longer hide it from you… In reality, I am the Keeper of Secrets of Babel Tower.”
“Ah, the person who guarded secrets at the meeting was you!”
Evie, the little seal, first became startled, then suddenly understood.
So that’s how it is… Saying it like this makes everything much clearer.
Evie’s heart was a bit chaotic.
That being said, perhaps Kaluoer’s relationship with him was even closer than she had imagined.
Kaluoer suddenly interrupted, asking, “Master, what are we going to do next?”
She, the task enthusiast, couldn’t wait any longer.
Evie couldn’t help but mutter, “Kaluoer, this isn’t the Tulip Manor anymore, and you’re not his maid anymore, right? So why do you still call him ‘Master’? We’re all members of Babel Tower, aren’t we equal?”
Honestly, Evie didn’t want her younger sister to feel inferior, and she knew Viscount Edmond had never caused her pain. But her sister’s constant submissiveness made her uncomfortable.
“Because, without an owner, I cannot survive.”
Kaluoer answered expressionlessly.
“…”
The outrageous statement made Evie hesitate, wanting to speak but holding back. Eventually, she decided not to say anything.
“I don’t have any tasks at the moment.”
Bai Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, shaking his head gently. “It seems we arrived a few days too early. No need to rush.”
In reality, the first stage of the mission had already been hinted at.
However, “Babel Tower” only provided a hint without fully explaining the situation. Bai Yan also didn’t know what to have the restless Kaluoer do for now.
During the first playthrough, he had never completed the second-stage mission regarding the Enos civilization, and everything was still unknown.
Hearing there were no tasks yet, Kaluoer habitually tilted her head to one side.
She suddenly spoke, breaking the silence like never before.
“If there are no missions for now, then listen to me first.”
An astonishing gesture.
Kaluoer, who had always been a “tool,” now uttered such words that shocked both Bai Yan and Evie, who knew her well.
“Okay, whatever you want to do, I’ll listen to you now.”
Bai Yan nodded, his lips slightly curving upwards. It seemed that Kaluoer’s spirits had indeed improved quite a bit.
“Tools” don’t possess this self-awareness, they don’t speak, they don’t demand, and they don’t make people obey them.
After spending months together, Bai Yan had grown fond of Kaluoer.
Evie also nodded with a smile, holding her little sister’s hand. “Mhmm, mhm, mhm, Kaluoer, whatever you want to do, big sister will go with you, so don’t worry!”
Kaluoer stood silently for a while, not speaking. It seemed as though she was adjusting to her own changes.
For years, she had always been passive and obedient, following the orders of others.
Finally, under the watchful gaze of the two who cared for her, Kaluoer slowly raised her finger.
She pointed toward a direction, her finger glowing.
“I sensed something delicious over there… Will you all accompany me?”
