Chapter 498: The Meeting of Resentment and Hatred
Another dimension’s Giant Hive.
This is a purple dimension formed by numerous bubbles. In the void space, there exist thousands upon thousands of bubbles.
The scenes reflected in each bubble are the experiences of every sentient being, playing out like scenes from a movie.
"Where am I?"
Alan looked completely bewildered, unsure of what had happened and where he had ended up.
[Mysterious Magic…]
Until he heard the voice of the Savior in his mind, he finally understood the whole story.
Soon, the calm Alan also analyzed which dimension he was in.
"This seems to be the dimension of memories, those bubbles are people’s memories… It’s truly unexpected how I found myself here using this method."
The dimension of memories, in fact, was not a dimension that ordinary people often visited. Venturing deep into this place often carried risks, such as causing the memories of ordinary people to become muddled.
For those extraordinary beings who can sense memories, they would often choose other methods. They would only enter this dimension to explore memories when it was necessary.
Alan’s body floated over one bubble after another, curiously observing the memories of many people, lost in deep thought.
"Nice to meet you again, Mr. Alan."
Just at that moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
In the depths of Alan’s heart, a sense of alertness immediately arose!
It was him!
"The Son of God"Amicio.
In the past, the person who almost took away his own eyes!
That man was so dazzling and radiant, as if possessing a mesmerizing brilliance. In the instant Alan gazed at him, he felt a strange sensation of being captivated.
But he quickly recovered and instead closed his eyes.
"…"
Alan remained silent, yet full of vigilance.
He knew that the man before him was most likely an enemy, and he himself had very little chance of winning.
The lower-ranked Apocalypse confronted the upper-ranked Apocalypse, even with the help of the Babel Tower and the Savior. Although he was stronger than an ordinary lower-ranked Apocalypse, the difference was still clearly visible.
"Don’t be afraid, Mr. Alan. We might not be enemies anymore."
Amicio’s voice was gentle, like a spring breeze. There was a hint of a smile in the corners of his eyes. Anyone who was surrounded by his exaggerated charm would be very willing to listen to him speak.
"I want to join the Babel Tower team and fight against those people led by Mr. Xia, can I?"
Alan blinked slightly, but he still kept his eyes closed.
"Why?"
He still remembered how the other person had greedily gazed at his Pupil of Mystery.
This time, he unexpectedly didn’t plan to seize it?
Instead, was he planning to betray them?
Amicio replied immediately, "Of course, it’s because joining Babel Tower seems more interesting. I don’t want to be your enemy again, and, well, I’d really like to see the expression on Mr. Xia’s face when he’s betrayed. Hehe."
Alan fell into silence, unsure of how to respond.
Amicio, the powerful upper-ranked Apocalypse, had the ability to strike a decisive blow if he chose to launch a surprise attack, giving him a real chance of harming Mr. "World."
Even though the man had reached the terrifying level of the quasi-god, he was not invincible.
At a time like this, it was definitely a good thing that the Babel Tower could bring such a great help.
But Alan still hesitated.
"Come out, Noa."
Amicio waved his hand, and suddenly, a girl appeared next to him.
She was his follower.
The young girl who appeared out of nowhere had no arms and was blind in her right eye. Her left eye, a clear sapphire-like gem, sparkled with a light blue hue.
Alan was struck as if by lightning.
It was her!
"Hmm?"
Amicio felt a strong and undeniable aura of killing intent, and it wasn’t even directed at himself, but towards Noa who stood right beside him.
"Noa, do you happen to know him?" he squinted his eyes and smiled.
The girl shook her head.
Alan took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "Do you remember what happened in Tatsumi City? There used to be a Night Watcher named Lin Bian there, and it was he who spared you."
"Yeah, I remember. So, that’s what happened," Noa replied without hesitation, nodding.
She remembered.
Sure enough, it was her!
In Aaron’s eyes, anger flared up and burned fiercely.
"Master?" Noa looked at Amicio, unsure whether to continue.
"Oh?"
Amicio’s eyes lit up, he didn’t interrupt their conversation, but instead listened intently with great interest.
In the next moment, Alan blurted out the words he had suppressed within his heart for a long time, saying, "Back then, Lin Bian spared you, but you mercilessly killed his daughter, didn’t you? Why?"
Noa smiled.
She seemed to have heard something funny. "He thought I was an innocent person, unaware that I am the master of the black wizard clan. That just goes to show how foolish he is for letting me go secretly."
Noa continued, saying,
"At that time, the Night Watchers of Tatsumi City killed and captured all of my apprentices, destroying years of my work. Fortunately, I managed to escape and sought revenge by killing the daughter of the leader of the Night Watchers. I used her blood and pain to complete a ritual that would hide my whereabouts. What’s wrong with these actions?"
Alan was not surprised.
The reason was simply and "normal" in this way.
Night Watchers and black wizards fought each other, which had already become a common occurrence in Tatsumi City for hundreds of years.
Alan nodded and looked at Amicio expressionlessly, "We cannot become allies."
"Because she thought I didn’t want to give her to you?"
Amicio pondered for a moment and casually said, "Even if it were me, I wouldn’t casually give away my woman… No, actually, that’s not the reason."
He gazed at Alan, even though they were almost equal in stature, his gaze felt superior and condescending.
"The real answer is, I am very curious to see the twists in your heart, the hatred in your eyes, the obsessions in your mind. Without exception, all of these things captivate me."
"When people struggle and long for something, it is most interesting… For what one cannot attain, love that separates, and the feelings of resentment and hatred. Hahaha, it seems like you have experienced each one and they have left a lasting impression."
Alan silently gazed at the Son of God as he spoke grandly, shaking his head.
"I not only seek revenge, Amicio, but I also want to kill you here."
"Me?"
Amicio hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you saying that even if I hand her over here, you still wouldn’t spare me? Just because of you?"
Alan nodded again and said, "Thanks to her, I remember everything now. Black wizards are truly wicked beings."
"Dark magic, as numerous as strands of hair on a cow, requires the use of innocent lives and the emotions of fear, pain, and despair. For you, the meaning of others’ lives simply doesn’t exist, and this indifference is exactly what I despise about you the most."
"Someone said you are both good and evil, Amicio."
"Because in history, you have not only done bad things, but also done good things. You have helped many good people, who are famous heroes. Therefore, there are many positive stories and praises about you… But I know that you are truly evil!"
"Amicio, as the most powerful black wizard in World of Noah, you are only slaughtering innocent people casually out of interest and necessity. This can certainly stack up into a mountain! You are not innocent at all, and you cannot stand by and don’thing!"
"So, I want to kill you."
Alan once again expressed his thoughts, his words filled with an unwavering sense of strong belief, as heavy as a mountain.
Noa sneered, "Could it be that you’ve never killed an innocent person, never done anything deceitful in your whole life?"
"Never."
Alan’s voice resounded with strength and conviction!
Amicio fell silent for a moment, his voice calm but reminiscent of a devil in hell. "But the consequence of your actions will be that only you will perish here. And I shall bind your soul, seize the Pupil of Mystery… afterwards, you will be unable to be resurrected by the Savior of the Babel Tower, and you shall forever endure my torment."
Will one’s soul be unable to be resurrected if it is bound?
Alan fell into deep thought, realizing that this man seemed to have a better understanding of the Babel Tower than he did.
"Why not try a different mindset, Mr. Alan?"
Amicio spoke earnestly, as if he was wholeheartedly looking out for Alan.
"Just let us go, which means letting go of yourself, and I can help you, I will also help Babel Tower, giving you a chance to save those innocent people… Think carefully, this choice is actually for a greater justice, right?"
"If you start a war with us now, my level of power will become an enemy to Babel Tower. And if that happens, Babel Tower will become even more dangerous. In a way, you would be betraying Babel Tower and the Savior. You could even say that, by giving in to temporary dissatisfaction and anger, you would be sacrificing the lives of millions of people."
"Stop talking," Alan said, cutting off the other person.
Amicio remained silent, with a smile on his face.
He had already said almost everything he wanted to say.
Next, it would depend on how this man made his decision.
No matter what decision he made, he would struggle and feel conflicted in his heart. In other words, no matter what, he would find it intriguing.
Just at that moment, Aaron, who had kept his eyes closed, slowly opened them. Fearlessly and without backing down, he gazed at the Son of God.
"If I have to choose between two evils, I would rather not choose anything, only fight with my heart."
The spell has been cast.
There was no inner turmoil.
In that moment, his eyes were free from any confusion or uncertainty!
"I am the Night Watcher."
"I am the ‘Mysterious Magic’ of Babel Tower."
"I am destined to be your enemy, I am tired of deceitful words, and the situation will not change because of me. Now, there is only one thing left for me to do."
"Using all of his strength, he wanted to get rid of you."
Amicio frowned, feeling a bit bored. This man turned out to be less interesting than he had expected.
To his surprise, there was not a single trace of confusion.
"So, I’ll let you taste despair first, and then see your reaction."
Amicio was not in a hurry. When anyone reaches their limit, there will be a change in their mindset.
He wanted to see if this man would still persist as usual when faced with extreme pressure.
"So, it’s my turn,"
Amicio raised his hand and calmly unleashed thousands of black shadows, instantly enveloping the surrounding purple space, trying to devour Alan completely.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the terrifying spell of the black wizard shattered in an instant, and the overwhelming darkness faded away.
Alan’s eyes became unique with pure black pupils that held a depth and wisdom akin to the universe.
