Chapter 502: The Great Battle
“May I borrow you for a moment?”
Shi Nianyu’s face turned ice-cold as she said, “Profligate, what exactly do you want? Tell me, what is Babel Tower up to? Why did Xia insist on having us here?”
“The literal meaning is that he only wanted to use you for a little while, nothing more.”
The one speaking was none other than the Hound of Babel Tower, Mu Ling.
Just moments ago, in the dimension of black and white, Mu Ling and Alan, along with Profligate, had successfully reunited. At this moment, she stood beside Bai Yan.
Bai Yan touched his nose, sensing that Mu Ling’s words felt a bit strange.
Sure enough, Shi Nianyu’s face paled even further.
In this world, there were many exceptionally powerful beings, but just as many ludicrous ones. Countless extraordinary individuals, driven by strong desires, indulged without restraint in their little hobbies.
It seemed that “Profligate” was one of them. His nickname suited him well.
Bai Yan felt the urge to explain, but then realized that doing so wouldn’t align with his “Profligate” persona. Instead, he chose to smile and face the situation.
“Okay, let’s pretend I was just teasing you.”
Alan, who was hiding nearby in his true form, was preparing for an unknown danger. Meanwhile, he repeatedly pondered about Bai Yan in his mind.
Alan tried to hold back his thoughts and didn’t reveal his true identity as the “Profligate” in front of Mu Ling.
Ah, this is unbearable!
Alan suddenly thought of Maryse, the half-elf girl, and wondered if the current members of Babel Tower were aware of her feelings.
What would she think if she knew that the true identity of the ‘Profligate’ was Bai Yan?
He thought to himself — was it the character, or the real Bai Yan, that the half-elf girl truly liked?
Ah, I really want to share this secret.
Without waiting any longer, he decided to threaten Bai Yan and make him beg for mercy on his knees. Otherwise, he would reveal the truth to everyone.
Despite losing his sight, Alan managed to smile.
“Bai Yan, you wouldn’t want everyone at Babel Tower to know you’re the Profligate, would you?”
Lost in his thoughts, Alan didn’t realize that his every scheme was clearly heard by Bai Yan, who had unlocked his inner strength.
Bai Yan was deep in thought.
“Should I use my mind powers to make this guy forget everything? Or should I use physical force?”
Of course, Bai Yan was only joking. He knew that Alan had promised to keep his secret, so he would not reveal it.
Shi Nianyu gently shook her head.
“Are you trying to capture me and embarrass Xia by using me? If that’s the case, then you people from Babel Tower are truly mean and boring.”
Objectively speaking, in terms of appearance, Shi Nianyu was no less stunning than Mu Ling, the Witch, or the Scarlet Moon. Without a doubt, her beauty and figure were top-tier.
It was no wonder that many had coveted her.
“You’re thinking too much. My last name isn’t Cao, but it would still be better for Ms. Shi to surrender.”
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he attacked Shi Nianyu without hesitation.
Deep Blue World.
Time seemed to come to a standstill.
In the first second, Bai Yan suddenly sensed a threat from the Head of Dark Night. The old man was quietly channeling the power of Dark Light, which surged toward him and Mu Ling.
“Has he decided to betray us?” Bai Yan mused, but he was not surprised. After all, the old man’s allegiance had always been unpredictable, so a sudden betrayal was not out of the ordinary.
A second later, Bai Yan had already moved Mu Ling’s body, and the Head of Dark Night, using excellent stealth, had gone unnoticed by the others.
Three seconds later, the Head of Dark Night made his move on Shi Nianyu. But she was surrounded by an invisible tower, making it difficult to destroy her from the outside.
Bai Yan didn’t want to kill her, only capture her alive, so the invisible tower presented an obstacle.
Choosing a gentler approach, Bai Yan let the Dark Light soar through the air. It missed its target, but it tore the earth apart.
“Boom!”
Shi Nianyu was startled as cracks appeared on her towering structure. Not far off, Profligate smiled at her. Fortunately, she had prepared for defense.
Without hesitation, Shi Nianyu decided to bring Profligate into her tower. Inside the tower, she was invincible.
“The Book of Dark Light, get rid of all the Imperial Guards and everyone in Babel Tower.”
In the sky, the Head of Dark Night gave his command. But the Book of Dark Light hesitated, shaking its head, and refused to comply.
“It was made clear when we arrived. We were supposed to help Babel Tower,” the Book of Dark Light argued.
The old man remained calm but replied, “Is that so? Then, instead of siding with the Savior, you chose to follow that so-called ‘Divine Executor.’ Very well, if you’re determined, I will deal with you both.”
The Book of Dark Light shook its head again. “No, that’s not what I meant. Wait… why do you think the will of the Divine Executor and the Savior are contradictory?”
The old man did not explain, but a hint of madness flickered in his calm eyes.
Meanwhile, Mu Ling activated the Deep Blue World, slashing at the Head of Dark Night hundreds of times.
But Dark Light effortlessly blocked her every strike.
Mu Ling felt helpless.
Time returned to normal.
“Boom!”
The powerful “Power” surged forward with all his might, falling to one knee. His strong hands trembled, and his lion-like face was filled with astonishment.
The power of this man surpassed his own!
Alan smiled and clasped the White Lion’s hands, effortlessly suppressing the much larger creature.
“My eyes are the nemesis of magic. I haven’t used this close combat style often when dealing with other opponents,” Alan thought.
He had just bestowed upon himself the “mighty” and “enduring” knightly magic. The former boosted his strength, while the latter allowed him to continually enhance his physical abilities.
In pure strength, Alan had surpassed the White Lion.
Unfortunately, when it came to dealing with top-tier spellcasters like “the Son of God” Amicio, the Sanction Knight was not as effective as the Pupil of Mystery and the Fire that Burns Everything.
“Roar! Magician, don’t be arrogant! You are just a blind man now!”
The White Lion went berserk, roaring loudly. He had never imagined he would be outdone by a magician.
With a furious lunge, he opened his bloodstained mouth, attempting to bite and kill Alan. But then, he saw the terrifying black flames rising around him.
“Ahhh!”
The flames consumed the White Lion’s body as his fur ignited. Writhing in excruciating pain, his immense resilience prevented him from being killed instantly.
Meanwhile, Dark Light passed by Mu Ling, once again dividing the bloodstained land horizontally.
“Uh-oh!”
The difference between Mu Ling and the Head of Dark Night was too great. They managed to dodge the attack by slipping into the dimension of darkness, only to find themselves surrounded by overwhelming Dark Light.
A page from a book appeared at her feet, whisking her away to safety, hundreds of meters away.
The Book of Dark Light stood firm, solemn, aiding Mu Ling.
Vivian, the true name of the Book of Dark Light, took a deep breath, holding the black leather book. “Please, Mr. Head of Dark Night, let us refrain from harming Babel Tower… my teacher.”
“Hahahaha!” The old man laughed maniacally.
“Very well, Vivian,” he said, nodding. “Then I will first slay you!”
Suddenly, the old man felt an unimaginable sense of horror!
A crimson flame shot toward him, like a calamity, a catastrophe of heaven and earth.
“Dark Light, protect me!” he roared.
Dark Light rose like a towering mountain, casting a shadow over the land.
Bai Yan’s Scarlet Strike collided with the darkness.
The explosion that followed was deafening. The earth shattered completely, blood splattering into the sky.
In the downpour of blood, Mu Ling felt a surge of inspiration and realized Shi Nianyu had quietly appeared behind her.
Moments later, she found herself surrounded by the tall tower again.
Shi Nianyu shouted at Alan, “Release ‘Power’ immediately, or I’ll execute her!”
Inside the towering fortress, Shi Nianyu was an unstoppable force. Crushing a Crown-level transcendent was no challenge for her.
Even now, Mu Ling had been severely injured inside the tower.
A powerful sense of killing intent surged through the air.
Shi Nianyu shuddered, sensing the presence of something terrifying.
Suddenly, Dark Light emerged from the ground, engulfing Shi Nianyu.
Unbeknownst to her, the Head of Dark Night had ambushed her. The towering invisible structure began to crack.
A surge of killing intent shattered the tower.
Shi Nianyu, bloodied, saw Profligate standing nearby, realizing that it was he who had shattered the tower.
Before she could understand how it happened, Profligate had delivered a devastating blow, and the tower collapsed.
Shi Nianyu coughed up blood.
“Whew.”
After the “Crown-level” barrier was shattered, countless extraordinary beings appeared in the sky. These were notorious criminals or cultists long known in the Air Alliance.
Among them were the “Emperor” Kessel and the “Casket” Peggie.
Mu Ling, nearly depleted, was barely able to fight, having sustained severe injuries.
Bai Yan embraced Mu Ling and extended his hand toward Shi Nianyu, as if catching a helpless chick.
Shi Nianyu tried to resist, but Bai Yan wasn’t willing to complicate things further. He cast a painful spell, tormenting her soul.
“Ah!”
The pain was unbearable, and Shi Nianyu immediately fell into unconsciousness.
“What’s going on?”
“What is this place?”
“We are free!”
“Hahaha, I will definitely defeat that mean lady!”
“Is this not a material dimension?”
In the sky, the Head of Dark Night said calmly, “Be silent.”
The Crown-level beings had no time to understand the situation before a tsunami-like wave of Dark Light swept across the sky, blocking out the sun.
This immense power was silent, and their INT had no response.
The sky darkened.
Over half of the Crown-level beings vanished instantly.
Yet many of them, including “Emperor” Kessel and “Casket” Peggie, managed to escape, filled with fear.
Tossing Shi Nianyu into the Babel Tower, Bai Yan said to Mu Ling, “That old fellow is completely mad. We must be extremely cautious from now on.”
Mu Ling nodded, her body healing. “Thank you for your help, senior.”
Bai Yan hesitated, his words caught in his throat. But eventually, he simply nodded.
“Whether it’s the Imperial Guards, Babel Tower, or even you, Vivian… all of you have committed an unforgivable sin by standing against the great Savior.”
On the Head of Dark Night’s aged face, there was no joy or sadness — only weariness. His eyes were tired, as though he could pass away at any moment.
But every move he made filled everyone with fear.
“I will obey the will of the great Savior and cleanse each of your souls.”
“Become skeletons in the dark light.”
