Chapter 505: I Will Finally Embark on the Path to Become the Savior
Who am I, exactly?
What is my connection to the entire "Babel Tower" project, after all?
Why do I have exactly the same appearance as the Connector?
And why, would I inherit the extraordinary powers of the Connector and the God of Games?
Summing up the gathered information and making a connection, Bai Yan’s heart soon started to have a faint conjecture.
Perhaps,
He was the Connector and the God of Games, a combination of the two.
"Moreover, there is no better explanation for now. After all, within my soul, there coexist two completely different essences, ‘Connection’ and ‘Games.’ They happen to be the innate powers of the Connector and the God of Games, and even within the depths of my soul, there are fragments of memories of both."
He still remembered the conversation he had heard when he was being crowned as the king.
Regardless of the outcome, you will cease to exist… so spoke the God of Games, informing the Connector.
His own emergence was undeniably closely tied to both of them.
There was even a great possibility that he was a combination of both.
Suddenly, he remembered something important!
Thirteen years ago, Bai Yan and the present Bai Yan were almost unrecognizable as the same person.
"Could it be? That Bai Yan is the person the Connector hopes to meet!"
Confusion and bewilderment grew even more, but after pondering for a long time, Bai Yan suddenly shook his head.
"No matter what happened in the past, and no matter what meaning it could have, there is only one ultimate result now… A human named Bai Yan is standing here."
Who am I?
The answer had already been found.
Bai Yan knew that who a person truly is depends on the sum of their social connections.
Regardless of whether they are the Savior, Profligate, the Keeper of Secrets, or any other identity, they were always just wearing different "clothes". At the core, they remained Bai Yan.
But at the same time, Profligate, the Keeper of Secrets, and the Savior were undoubtedly a part of themselves, not to be separated under any circumstances.
Their combination is oneself.
Finally, Bai Yan emerged from the fragments of his memory.
He arrived in the special space where all the extraordinary beings destined for the Apocalypse would eventually arrive.
Here in this place, Bai Yan caught sight of different versions of himself from other worlds.
Some Bai Yans were filming super-dream movies in space stations, some Bai Yans were writing amidst the hiss of steam, some Bai Yans were leaders of mercenaries in the apocalypse, some Bai Yans were even girls who streamed live while wearing leather outfits. In other worlds, Bai Yan wasn’t even human, but a peculiar and strange lifeform…
But they all shared a common trait.
In the many life paths of Bai Yan, the Babel Tower absolutely didn’t exist, and there was certainly no game called "Babel Tower."
Bai Yan suddenly had an epiphany.
Suddenly, I realized that I was the only Savior.
My path had already been decided at some moment.
Was it decided during the First Doomsday Crisis?
Or was it when the Demon of Justice sacrificed himself?
Or perhaps.
Actually, it was even earlier.
Was it when speaking to Alan and saying, ‘I sell umbrellas to people,’ that I had already decided the path I’m on today?
Bai Yan took a deep breath and smiled.
"I will lead the Babel Tower, save all Worlds, and ensure the survival of all living beings and everything."
"I will eventually embark on the path to become the Savior."
—
A sweeping black tide is about to engulf everything.
Everyone is filled with fear and an overwhelming sense of despair.
But even so, there were still people who didn’t give up and continued to fight.
Alan unleashed the Fire that Burns Everything with all his might, but in the end, the accumulated Dark Light over the years proved unmatched in terms of quantity.
He could at most envelop himself with the Fire that Burns Everything, resisting attacks and waiting for the enemy to exhaust their Dark Light before counterattacking, but it would be futile in saving everyone present.
"In a special place, the experience should only last for a moment. White, why haven’t you snapped out of it yet, you profligate?"
Alan couldn’t help but shout, his heart filled with deep anxiety.
In the sky, Bai Yan remained completely still, his gaze lost in confusion.
What was he really looking at?
The Head of Dark Night had completely gone mad, his eyes filled with fury and aggression.
The people of Noah once lived amidst chaos and disasters, always under the presence of Rainbows. Especially with the teachings of the Savior of Dark Light, civilization gradually came to be as it is today.
People also have a duty to give back to the Savior.
"You will be purified in this place, for this is the task of the Dark Light!"
"No believers, non-believers, all should pass away!"
"This is the path I have chosen."
The black tide surged and roared, ready to descend and engulf everything in its sight, leaving nothing behind.
"Savior…"
"Please save us."
Mu Ling lowered her head and began to pray earnestly.
She had never believed in any religion, nor had she been able to comprehend the behavior of cultists, until she felt increasingly helpless, until she received the grace and redemption of the Savior.
Mu Ling had come to fully understand that her own weakness and powerlessness were not shameful.
Even she needed help.
"Please… save us."
Like an inky black skyline, an almost endless tide of darkness had descended.
Even the Crown level extraordinaries present, each displaying their incredible abilities, remained powerless.
Alan looked towards Bai Yan once again, and for some unknown reason, he always felt that no matter what kind of crisis occurred, that man could always solve the problem at critical moments.
He suddenly realized that Bai Yan’s eyes were no longer confused, and there was even a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
The Head of Dark Night, filled with madness, suddenly shivered in fear.
"This person, who is he really…"
The overwhelming aura that everyone couldn’t ignore was continuously emanating from Bai Yan, as if the entire world was under this man’s control.
All beings are mere playthings in his hands.
But in the next moment, this imposing presence vanished without a trace.
Everything seemed like an illusion.
Bai Yan spoke up:
"Savior, he heard your voice."
Mu Ling was taken aback, looking at Bai Yan with bewilderment.
He raised his hand.
They made contact.
"Control."
Black chains appeared out of thin air, falling onto the necks of many extraordinary beings at the Crown level, including the "Emperor" Kessel, the "Casket" Peggie, the "Power" White Lion, and the Book of Dark Light.
"What is this?"
They instinctively resisted, but in an instant, they were restrained and unable to move.
"Please kindly lend me a helping hand."
Although Bai Yan used the word "please," it was an unquestionable command that anyone could hear.
Bai Yan extended his other hand.
His finger pointed towards the Tide of Dark Light, as if it would bring about the end of World.
Game.
"The World Transformation"
Invisible silver light enveloped the land for miles.
The dark light that filled the sky suddenly came to a halt. Then, as if glitching, it became blurry and distorted.
Gradually, it unexpectedly transformed into… a pixelated art style.
Bai Yan executed a series of flashy moves.
Snap.
"Stop!"
The seemingly endless Dark Light, which was falling, suddenly became completely still in its original position.
"How is it possible!"
The Head of Dark Night was astonished beyond belief, finding himself in a scene that seemed impossible. He soon realized that not only was there Dark Light, but even his own body had transformed into a pixelated style.
Bai Yan, Mu Ling, Alan, Kessel, Peggie, the White Lion, and the Book of Dark Light… All the people present, in astonishment and disbelief, one by one, transformed into pixelated figures.
Wherever the gaze reaches, everything transforms into a world composed of pixels!
"What’s happening?" Mu Ling looked utterly perplexed.
"I have no idea at all!"
Alan shook his head, his eyes filled with astonishment. He couldn’t comprehend the situation at all. What kind of extraordinary power is this?
The Head of Dark Night couldn’t help but roar:
"Profligate, cease now, for even with your fancy tricks, you cannot stop the power of Dark Light!"
He desperately tried to push back the stationary Dark Light, hoping to purify everyone present.
Dark Light slowly moved.
It worked.
Just at that moment, everyone saw it. A massive gray-white "blood bar" appeared above the Tide of Dark Light.
"What is that?" exclaimed the characters.
One day, Bai Yan found himself inexplicably holding a sword made of moonlight.
Gorgeous Moonshine.
Power Possession·Seizure.
In the next moment, dozens of Crown level beings who were forcibly under control felt their powers rapidly fading away.
In a short time, they were stripped of all their extraordinary abilities and turned into ordinary people with no remarkable qualities. They even became more wretched than ordinary people due to their inability to adapt.
And the extracted power became "nourishment", causing Gorgeous Moonshine to instantly surge with brilliance. The silver moonlight extended for countless kilometers, its length extending beyond what the eye could see.
Bai Yan smiled and snapped his fingers once more.
"Game, continue!"
The Tide of Dark Light descended once again, while the seemingly endless Brilliant Moonshine was instantly severed.
All things were severed.
"Ding!"
Everyone watched in disbelief as the enormous gray-white "health bar" instantly reset to zero, leaving them all astonished.
The one who struggled the most to comprehend the situation, unable to accept the reality, was none other than the Head of Dark Night.
"What kind of person are you, and why do you possess such extraordinary powers?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a silvery-white mark unexpectedly appeared on his own pixelated body.
Afterwards,
With a loud "bang"!
A thunderous noise!
A wave of dark light flooded the sky, as the body of the Head of Dark Night exploded into countless black pixelated dots. However, the devastatingly powerful explosion didn’t harm anyone present, as if it were merely a special effects scene.
Alan and Mu Ling were both so astounded that their mouths hung open in disbelief.
He suddenly became incredibly strong, didn’t he!
In fact, after each breakthrough, Bai Yan would always directly reach the upper limit of that level, and this time was no exception.
He had become a semi-god.
Therefore, easily defeating the Head of Dark Night was as normal as could be in that situation.
With a big explosion, everyone inexplicably heard a mysterious voiceover.
"Mission complete!"
"What does it mean?" puzzled each and every person.
Only Bai Yan sighed quietly, "Ah, how come nobody has played ‘Metal Slug’ here?"
He then looked towards Kessel and calmly said, "I’m sorry."
Then, Bai Yan opened the Babel Tower’s interior and directly sent all of the forcefully controlled new operators into the Babel Tower, leaving no one with the option to refuse.
"This time, the number of Non-core Operators in Babel Tower increased significantly."
Bai Yan murmured to himself.
With his breakthrough, the current version of the "Babel Tower" game has also automatically evolved into a brand new version.
The game of Babel Tower was destined not to proceed as normal, as it always had before.
