Chapter 500: Doubles

"Bai Yan!"

A text bubble emerged near Alan.

Alan was filled with a mixture of surprise and disbelief as he witnessed the scene before him.

To Alan’s astonishment, Bai Yan, who had been missing all this time, suddenly appeared here! What could be the explanation for this? It was truly unbelievable!

Alan suddenly realized something.

Bai Yan appearing here could mean that he…

"Could it be, Bai Yan, that you are actually a member of the Babel Tower?" Alan asked in a probing manner.

Bai Yan sincerely and earnestly answered, with words appearing in a speech bubble:

"Um, you’re right, Alan… I have always been sorry, actually I have hidden many things from you, a lot of things…"

"Even at this very moment, I don’t plan to confess everything. There are reasons why I must bury those secrets deep within my heart."

"Babel Tower" and the many things about the "Savior" might be better left unknown, Bai Yan gradually realized that "unbearable information" often carries a dangerous poison.

Alan remained silent for a while:

"It’s okay, I’m actually very happy right now, so much that I can’t contain my joy… You know, Bai Yan, deep inside my heart, there has always been an unfading fear since the Doomsday Crisis passed…"

"I once felt like I had lost everything, if it weren’t for my companions at the Babel Tower, the responsibility to save World, I might have taken a more extreme path."

"You are still alive, and that’s already great, as well as the most important thing. We are friends, and between friends, there’s no need to ask each other about all the secrets."

Bai Yan actually wanted to say a lot more. Even he, would want to confide his past to his best friend in life.

But then he realized that, as it turned out, the present him had many things that were difficult to put into words.

Do we already have a heavy barrier and distance between us?

He didn’t know.

Even though he was constantly surrounded by people, adored, relied upon, and worshipped by countless individuals, Bai Yan’s inner loneliness gradually grew.

Until this day, no one truly understood him anymore.

In the past, Alan knew for certain what kind of person Bai Yan was, but now, how could he possibly understand his own true nature after experiencing so much?

"What are you thinking about, Bai Yan?"

"I was just thinking about some boring things."

As soon as Bai Yan saw "Noa" in that moment, anger surged within him. In the previous cycle of battles, he had already known that "Noa" was the murderer who had killed Lin Bian’s daughter all those years ago.

In that moment of anger, Bai Yan suddenly realized that his true nature hadn’t actually changed.

There is no barrier between them.

Between companions, even if they don’t know each other’s secrets, they can still understand each other’s thoughts and beliefs.

I have experienced so many chaotic things, my mind was just slightly shaken, hehe.

"Amicio" once again uttered a speech bubble.

"You’ve been chatting all this time, ignoring me completely, Bai Yan… You’re a profligate, aren’t you? Although I’ve always had this suspicion, now it finally makes sense…"

Bai Yan remained silent, offering no retort.

So that’s how it was!

Alan felt very surprised, but he also found many reasonable explanations. Oh, but this kid is just too good at fooling people!

He grew angrier and angrier, even feeling a bit embarrassed and enraged!

So, you could say this guy has been acting all along! Watching me being angry and helpless every day!

Curse it!

Amicio asked inquisitively:

"Hedonist, what do you mean by saying ‘come a second time’ to save him?"

A text bubble appeared from Bai Yan, but he didn’t directly answer the question.

"Do you know what the amazing powers of the Almighty are?"

Amicio pondered for a moment and guessed,

"To have foresight of the future, to perceive all possibilities, the Almighty can choose the path that suits her best… She even used this power to obstruct the Heart of Radiance."

Bai Yan knew that what he said was his true intention, and he also realized that his enemies were almost certain to be unbeatable from the very beginning.

No one knew that the Almighty’s true trump card was "time rewind," and even more so, no one knew that she wasn’t using her own innate powers.

Instead, it was the technological knowledge of the annulus civilization that could be taken away.

She had already acquired this most terrifying power for herself.

If the enemy knew this, there was a chance they could counter it. But since they had no knowledge at all, it became a tremendous advantage.

In the battles between extraordinary beings with not too drastic differences, the most crucial element is often information.

Suddenly, both Amicio and Noa disappeared without a trace.

They had already departed from this dimension.

In the next moment, Bai Yan and Alan also departed together, without hesitation, as they pursued Amicio, the Son of God.

They arrived in a dimension completely composed of black and white, where they themselves transformed into characters resembling realistic black and white comic book figures.

Bai Yan and Alan also arrived here together. The duo remained silent, with Alan closing his eyes and not looking ahead.

Clearly, his sight had already been lost, as the Pupil of Mystery had reached its maximum capacity to bear.

However, even without utilizing the Pupil of Mystery, Alan remained a top-tier powerhouse, a master of magic.

Bai Yan looked at the girl, and she looked back at him as they both sensed a tangible aura of hostility.

Although, Noa knew deep down that she had never laid eyes on this man before.

What is going on?

Noa stood beside Amicio, but suddenly she noticed her master’s hand gently caressing her head.

"Hmm?"

She blinked her eyes in surprise, realizing that her master’s gaze was unusually affectionate. The suppressed emotions that had been building within her for a long time began to slowly erupt.

"Master…"

In reality, Noa didn’t choose to follow Amicio because she wanted to become powerful.

She used to be a formidable Black Wizardess, with her own power and territory. Though she appeared young, she had actually lived for over three hundred years.

During the Crown Ceremony in Tatsumi City, Noa accidentally let slip some information, causing her territory to be besieged.

The Crown Ceremony failed, and Noa was unable to successfully ascend as a Crown. It also resulted in her body being injured and her power weakened.

Furthermore, after her power in Tatsumi City was eradicated, she decided to flee but was unfortunately caught by Lin Bian.

She pretended to be an innocent person and luckily was spared by Lin Bian, who had kind intentions at that time.

Out of anger, Noa killed Lin Bian’s daughter… And somehow, it triggered a certain condition for the Crown Ceremony. Surprisingly, this action directly led to her successful ascension as a Crown.

After leaving Tatsumi City, Noa encountered this mysterious and unpredictable man.

Powerful, within the realm of games, unpredictable.

After spending a whole day together, Noa realized that she had found someone she never wanted to part with.

However, the difference between both parties was too great, and if they wanted to stay by his side, there was only one way… that is to willingly become his loyal servant.

Bai Yan spoke slowly, "I promised you before, Aaron, I will definitely tear her face off."

"Um, I hope you can truly fulfill your promise, you know, I am really angry right now, Bai Yan."

During the conversation, they attacked together with remarkable coherence.

The crimson flames ignited by the blood erupted, engulfing everything in a fiery blaze.

The red and black flames converged, and together they surged towards Amicio, ready to strike him down.

"Noa, I have always known your heart."

"Amicio…"

In Amicio’s eyes lay unspoken emotions.

"I sensed your love long ago, and that’s why I kept you here. Now I want to tell you… I’m very sorry."

"Hmm?"

What Alan said was true, black magic has always been evil since its inception.

All the devoted practitioners of this art were too precious to be lost.

"Desire unattained, love parted… Only the most twisted emotions can awaken powerful dark magic…"

Amicio shouted loudly:

"I transformed into my weapon, my loyal love, and became my instrument of punishment."

In that moment, Noa saw it in his eyes – a truly heartfelt love.

So that’s how it was, he also loved me.

However…

"Please, please, I don’t want to die like this…"

Her eyes were filled with endless pleading and pain.

Amicio’s heart was instantly filled with a complex mix of positive and negative emotions. It triggered the ritual he had prepared for years since he met her long ago, and the effect reached its peak.

With a hysterical scream, her body twisted and contorted in an instant, transforming into a pitch-black and eerie meat cleaver, curved ever so slightly, both in body and soul.

He gently grasped it, a smile appearing on his face.

"Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted? To always be by my side, your wish has come true."

The pitch-black meat cleaver spread outward, unleashing an endless horde of dark shadowy creatures. They were intangible and incorporeal, showing no fear towards the blazing crimson fire. Only the Fire that Burns Everything could destroy them.

This magical knife has the power to materialize dark sorcery.

Those dark shadowy creatures hungered for souls, pressing closer to Bai Yan and Alan. They swarmed relentlessly, leaving almost no room for escape.

As soon as they are captured, the souls are instantly devoured by them.

This is undoubtedly one of the terrifying trump cards of Amicio, the Son of God.

Deep Red – Divine Punishment.

In the next moment, Bai Yan had already brought Alan with him, breaking through numerous encirclements, and suddenly arrived next to Amicio. Due to the "tax" paid by the members of the Giant Hive, both of them were filled with abundant spiritual power.

Power Possession·Nightsaber!

"So many powers of the Outer Gods…"

Amicio didn’t even have time to exclaim before he once again swung his forbidden weapon.

But just at that moment, the dark butcher knife vanished into thin air.

In a crucial moment, Alan cast a modified version of the "Reanimation Spell," temporarily transferring away this eerie forbidden weapon.

Amicio no longer had time to stop Bai Yan.

Deep Blue World.

In the next moment, Bai Yan held Gungnir in his hand, striking with heavy attacks. One second, two seconds, three seconds… He completely shattered Amicio’s far-from-fragile body, and his soul was thrown into the black flames that consumed everything, burning until nothing remained.

"I will not die like this, hahaha! Today’s experience is truly absurd and amusing!"

His soul was burning, yet Amicio continued to laugh loudly. He seemed truly unafraid of death, and equally unaware of the true value of life.

"You must stay here and never leave!"

Alan was already furious!

Slaughtering the innocent, as a Night Watcher, Alan could never forgive such actions. To betray his comrades and do such things to his loved one… Alan couldn’t tolerate it any longer!

The flame that engulfs all things burns fiercely, the distorted soul shrouded in darkness gradually diminishing. In the blink of an eye, almost half of Amicio’s soul has been burnt away.

Just then, Bai Yan furrowed his brow, and Alan even felt as if he was about to suffocate.

God, he intervened!
