Chapter 530: the Crowd

So that’s how it was.

Here, at the Babel Tower, people came together and listened to the divine message.

Merete Chambers’ smile on her face was genuine and heartfelt.

Now, I am also a member of the Babel Tower.

She also felt the mask appearing on her face.

It was a jet-black mask, resembling the face of a fox, completely concealing the witch’s appearance.

"Is my symbol a black fox?"

The witch squinted her eyes.

"Um, the masks of these Babel Tower members are all different animals, which probably reveals their different personalities. As for why there are black ones and white ones… could it be related to their moral levels?"

Merete Chambers, with remarkable intelligence, merely glanced around and came close to guessing the reason behind the different forms of masks.

"We will give everything to you, our great Savior."

Mu Ling, who was kneeling on one knee, spoke with a firm and determined voice, filled with unwavering belief.

The other members of the Babel Tower heard the voice, but none of them showed any reaction, except for Mu Ling, who cooperated wholeheartedly.

She truly believed in the all-powerful Savior above all else.

Mu Ling, being given the opportunity to show her loyalty, would never let it slip away.

"He is becoming more and more like a dog."

The Scarlet Moon, a girl with a slender figure, stood not far away. With her arms crossed and a disdainful expression on her face, she confidently criticized Mu Ling’s actions without hesitation.

She would never be able to give her heart to anyone in her lifetime, nor could she ever idolize any other being.

Never in a million years.

"And there were new members…"

Scarlet Moon gazed in the direction of the witch, furrowing her brows. She vaguely felt a sense of annoyance from this woman’s presence.

Merete Chambers, on the other hand, nodded lightly to the Scarlet Moon, expressing goodwill. The smile beneath her mask showed no signs of fading.

Ah, it is the Queen of the Scarlet Moon,

She was also here, just as she remembered.

For many years in Tatsumi City, Merete Chambers was well acquainted with the Queen of the Scarlet Moon, and at one point, she even devised a plan to counter her. In fact, Merete Chambers knew the Scarlet Moon’s personality and weaknesses very well.

Aurora still wore her armor, and anyone could tell that this tall woman was a true knight.

She approached Old Mike and suddenly laughed, saying:

"You seem to have changed as well."

"That kind of aura belonging to the ‘weak’ vanished into thin air, a wonderful change."

"A soldier came back."

The face under Old Mike’s mask smiled, calmly saying, "Only in times of despair can one be reborn… After repeatedly facing death and struggles, I finally understand that staying angry and running away won’t solve anything."

"The warrior’s homecoming may only be found on the battlefield."

"Hmm, so you intend to pledge your loyalty to the Savior?" Aurora asked.

Old Mike chuckled and continued, "You’re mistaken, knight. I simply refuse to run away. If the chance arises, of course, I’ll make my escape at the earliest opportunity!"

Aurora stood frozen in surprise.

Maryse stood beside the profligate, in good spirits, completely unaffected by what had happened earlier.

By the way, the profligate, the Keeper of Secrets, and the Savior were all present at the same time.

But only the Savior was the true being, while the profligate and the Keeper of Secrets were both incarnations.

Bai Yan was like a split-screen operation, which means he could do things that normal people would find difficult to multitask or even triple task.

Maryse smiled brightly, her eyes filled with joy. "Mr. Profligate, you came to save me the last time, how wonderful! I knew you would come to rescue me."

Although she didn’t witness it with her own eyes, Maryse knew the outcome of the Battle of the Hive… it was when Profligate suddenly appeared, wreaking havoc and driving away the arrogant "World" in a flurry!

Hooray!

She continued on, saying:

"Mr. Xia must have run away in fear, ha ha! He was nothing compared to your power. He only knew how to show off in front of weak and helpless half-elves. Now he must feel like a fool… He used to be the leader of the Air Alliance, but from now on, he should be called the shame of the Air Alliance!"

Bai Yan quietly smiled and listened, not uttering a single word. Maryse, on the other hand, chattered away like a rapid waterfall, talking and talking without pause.

Maryse’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she exclaimed, "Next time, let’s capture Mr. Xia and make him serve me tea and water. And let Shi Nianyu massage your shoulders and wash your feet… Hmm, actually, I’ll have Shi Nianyu wash my feet instead. I don’t want her touching you."

She angrily cursed Mr. Xia’s ancestors for generations, not even sparing the family dog, before finally calming down.

Meanwhile, not far away.

Kaluoer and her sister Evie were standing right next to the Keeper of Secrets.

These three individuals were actually very quiet, as they practically lived together on a daily basis. Therefore, in this crowded place, there wasn’t much to say.

Alan was talking to Ganis, as the two of them had been living together in Tatsumi City for a while and had developed a strong friendship.

"Congratulations! I thought… I didn’t expect you to make progress even faster."

Ganis listened to Alan as he told him about Eli’s situation, and his face was filled with surprise.

"Yes, it happened quickly, very suddenly… After all, I didn’t expect her to…"

Alan stopped speaking at this point, as he couldn’t say that he had been ambushed at night and was the passive one.

Always feeling unable to speak up.

"What would you like to say?" Ganis asked with great sensitivity, raising an eyebrow.

"No problem!"

Alan quickly changed the topic and said, "What I wanted to say is that nowadays, the Babel Tower seems to have the ability to resurrect ordinary people at will. The power of the Savior should have been restored to a considerable extent, making our chances of saving World even greater!"

—

"I feel like the few of us are unnecessary," Red Moon murmured to herself.

"Gurgle ╰(*°▽°*)╯," the slime expressed agreement.

Just at the edge of the crystal palace, Slime, Magic Sword, Red Moon, and Nian quietly arrived at a place, as if they were being pushed away.

Nian was somewhat surprised to discover that this slime creature and the flying sword were also Core Operators of the Babel Tower.

Last time, she hadn’t even realized it!

For some reason, when faced with the slime creature and the magical sword, Red Moon surprisingly didn’t feel scared at all.

She pointed to the tall mecha not far away and asked with confusion, "What exactly is that? And where is the wheelchair girl? Why is Miss Amy gone?"

"Gurgle? Σ(っ °Д °;)っ" The slime creature also expressed confusion.

"Perhaps, it is Miss Amy," said the magical sword in a childlike voice, sounding quite certain.

"No way!" Red Moon exclaimed, startled and wearing a face full of disbelief.

"Gurgle!" The slime seemed startled too.

"Don’t copy my words!"

Red Moon glared unhappily, gave the slime a few taps with her arm, but not too forcefully…

Then, she was eaten by the slime.

Nian stood still, frozen in surprise.

This, this thing eats people?

She instinctively tried to move away, but her step back was noticed by the slime…

Then, she was also eaten.

"Gurgle."

After a while, both Red Moon and Nian were spit out by the slime.

"Wow! Gross! Stay away from me!"

Red Moon was completely covered in goo, feeling incredibly unpleasant. She immediately wanted to move away from this slimy slime that enjoyed devouring people.

"…"

Nian furrowed her brows and quickly moved away from here.

However, she remained as calm as ever, able to forcibly maintain her composure.

"Gurgle…"

The mischievous slime started to act all pitiful, as if it had only found the prank amusing and didn’t intend to scare them, nor did it want to be left alone without someone to play with.

The magic sword flew silently by, as if it could see through everything.

"Once pranks go too far, they will be shunned. Don’t you think it’s normal?"

Just at that moment, Alan glanced towards Profligate.

"That person is still pretending…"

He felt something magical.

Among this group of people, only he knew the true identity of the respected Profligate.

The others actually believed that the so-called Profligate was a respected elder from the Babel Tower, a mighty being from another world.

Knowing this secret that only a few people were aware of, there was truly a unique sense of joy.

Alan even somewhat understood why Bai Yan had chosen to conceal his identity.

Meanwhile, the witch leisurely observed everyone, taking note of each person’s every action, using her "Discernment" ability to analyze the personalities of the Babel Tower members.

She felt that something was quite amusing.

It was truly hilarious, wasn’t it?

That is none other than Bai Yan, who played dual roles.

Regardless of whether he was a profligate or a keeper of secrets, they were all one and the same person – Bai Yan.

However, that fellow had the remarkable ability to multitask.

He displayed two distinct personalities, one of being frivolous and carefree, and the other of being steady, serious, and reserved.

How interesting, should I expose him myself?

The witch narrowed her eyes.

"This person seems to have quite a romantic luck… It seems that Scarlet Moon’s thoughts are also on him, haha."

If I expose him, will the girls find out that they have been deceived, discover Bai Yan’s secret, and turn against him?

Thinking about such things just makes it seem interesting.

Soon, the witch noticed that the half-elf girl, the Queen of the Scarlet Moon, and the girl with wolf ears all looked at her, almost as if they were curious and cautious at the same time.

They were all strong in the Apocalypse, fully able to sense the gaze upon them.

But the witch paid no attention to the gaze of others.

She looked at the others again.

Little did they know, the Babel Tower was actually more loosely held together than they had imagined. The beginning of this meeting turned out to be nothing more than casual conversations among everyone. Although the lofty and enigmatic Savior seemed mysterious, they didn’t impose a great sense of pressure on the people.

Because of her previous experiences of being manipulated, as well as her nature, Merete Chambers had imagined the scene of the Babel Tower meeting quite differently.

She believed that everyone would kneel down on the ground, inside the Babel Tower, and shout the name of the Savior while silently listening to the divine message. No one dared to speak out of turn.

Finally, everyone continued to shout, departed, and then they were manipulated to carry out their tasks.

Little did she know, the atmosphere inside the Babel Tower was completely different from what she had imagined.

At that moment, Merete Chambers once again heard a voice in her mind.

The divine message came once again.

[A new Doomsday Crisis is about to arrive.]

["We need to gather all our strength, at any cost, to prevent the destruction of World," they said with determination.]

["This time…," they whispered.]

[The enemy of the Babel Tower is…]

[The divine being.]
