Chapter 537: The Pupil of the Alien Gods
Queen of the Scarlet Moon.
She was once the most powerful entity in Tatsumi City, a legend that had persisted for centuries, feared by all who knew of her.
Even the Night Watchers dared not provoke her presence.
But once she entered the Babel Tower, an entirely new world revealed itself.
The formidable Scarlet Moon encountered many powerful adversaries. Through countless battles, she faced grave challenges.
However, she never yielded, nor did she abandon her pride. Even in the face of death, she remained steadfast and composed.
The ruler.
This is the Queen of the Scarlet Moon, known to many.
In truth, she was exactly as described.
She gazed calmly at the wounded Red Moon, who had just returned, appearing to be unharmed.
“You’ve been taken over… Hurry, while there’s still time. End your life… He will resurrect you.”
“Ah? Oh, alright, sure… As we agreed.”
Red Moon, initially startled, nodded.
She seemed somewhat disoriented, no longer exhibiting the fierce, battle-ready demeanor seen earlier. Instead, she appeared almost naive.
Red Moon inhaled deeply and was about to take her own life on the spot.
“I boarded.”
The knife she held was the one she’d drawn from Maryse’s chest when she had taken her final breath.
The knife, capable of changing its size at will, transformed into a translucent form with golden edges, becoming so small it resembled a toothpick.
“It always feels strange.”
Red Moon moved the knife slightly, closed her eyes, and though her body seemed to welcome the pain, her mind strongly resisted the thought of suicide.
“Ah!” she took another deep breath.
Regardless, whoever was struck by it would die in a beautiful illusion—so it didn’t matter. Red Moon swung the semi-transparent “Golden Moon” with great force.
In a way, it was suitable for such an act.
This had been planned long ago by Babel Tower.
Once affected by the power of the Outer God, the victims would sacrifice themselves to free themselves from its control, then be swiftly resurrected.
Thanks to Mini Heaven, the cost of resurrection for Babel Tower’s members was significantly reduced. Bai Yan also felt his “reserve” points were plentiful enough.
In the next instant, Mini Heaven emitted a golden light from the sky.
The radiant golden light radiated a sacred aura.
The Red Moon, lying on the ground, slowly opened her eyes and rose once more.
“Suddenly, we Babel Tower people are feeling a bit lazy…”
Red Moon touched her recently broken neck and muttered.
So this was how resurrection worked?
How casual!
The Scarlet Moon ignored her and instead focused on the “old man.”
The other figure remained still, not attempting to make a move.
Scarlet Moon furrowed her brows, her voice cold.
“What are you, little creature?”
This being seemed human, but it carried no trace of humanity. Most might not have noticed, but to Scarlet Moon, the difference was obvious.
She perceived the nature of life’s races more through scent and taste than through sight.
The flames on Scarlet Moon’s body burned brightly, constantly shifting.
“Hehe, perhaps you’re like me… not human at all, but a monster… with disgustingly slimy filth inside, like trash without any appealing blood… perish here.”
In the next moment,
Scarlet Moon, glowing with crimson light, appeared before the “old man”!
The power of the Demon King!
The power of Scarlet Blood!
With the combination of her two strongest abilities, Scarlet Moon’s speed surpassed the sound barrier, reaching an unknown multiple.
She tightly gripped the “Bad Inflammation” that seared souls and struck fiercely at the “Old Man.”
“Boom! Boom!”
The first loud boom came from her swift motion, creating a sonic burst. The second came from a powerful impact, creating a violent tremor.
The ground seemed to sink as if hit by a high-speed projectile, softening like clay.
The old man’s upper body shattered instantly, and his lower body was sent flying.
Due to the “Bad Inflammation,” Scarlet Moon’s delicate yet destructive hands were always shielded, preventing direct contact with the opponent—even for a moment.
This also helped avoid contamination.
Her speed was faster than the debris launched into the air, swiftly moving to strike again.
Still not enough!
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Eighteen consecutive blows, each carrying unimaginable power, left eighteen massive craters in the ground, some spanning multiple football fields.
“Is that enough?”
Amid the dust, Scarlet Moon frowned and paused, her voice tinged with doubt.
She sniffed delicately, her nose twitching.
“Seems like it’s still not quite enough.”
The black mud on the ground suddenly surged upward, transforming into thousands of small black “raindrops” that shot toward Scarlet Moon, who remained unfazed.
Scarlet Moon moved with grace, evading the strikes with teleportation-like speed, as if taking a leisurely stroll.
To avoid contact, she shifted to her smallest form.
Like a miniature goddess.
“Hmm.”
The small Scarlet Moon wrinkled her brow, a look of disdain in her eyes.
The creature’s strength had waned a bit after the surprise attack, which she had amplified herself. It had once been nearly a demigod level, but now, it was merely an upper-tier Apocalypse—nothing remarkable.
“Too slow.”
In her normal form, this statement would have been delivered with great authority, but the little Scarlet Moon said it in such a cute manner, making it seem out of place.
“Hmm?”
At that moment, the little Scarlet Moon noticed that the “Dark Rain” around her was accelerating.
Though subtle, the increase in speed was noticeable.
Wait a minute, it wasn’t just their speed that was increasing, but her own was slowing down!
“It’s manipulating the speed of time flow!”
Little Scarlet Moon was shocked. She realized this strange creature had the power to control time flow secretly!
Although the change was subtle, if the battle continued, the effects would become progressively more significant.
She knew deep down that, eventually, she’d be touched.
“Alright.”
Suddenly, countless black flames erupted from underground, engulfing every drop of the “black rain.”
The young Scarlet Moon raised an eyebrow, realizing it wasn’t someone else’s attack, but one from her own companion.
“Mysterious Magic”
Alan.
His eyes underwent a transformation.
No longer were they his usual arcane eyes, but a brand new set—unique and ethereal.
Inside the golden halo, gleamed silver pupils, unlike anything seen before.
For some reason, even Scarlet Moon felt uneasy in the presence of those eyes.
The Pupil of the Alien Gods!
“燃烧吧” translates to “Burn it” in English.
Alan spoke calmly, a hint of a smile in his eyes. The Fire that Burns Everything, under his control, effortlessly captured each of the “Black Rain” drops, which were actually black mud, in a high-speed state.
This had been almost impossible in the past.
But now, Alan could achieve it.
Not only had he reached mid-rank Apocalypse, but he had also obtained a portion of divinity, fundamentally changing him.
“His ability to manipulate had increased dramatically, now completely different from before… It was a fine-tuned control of energy.”
This was the effect of the Pupil of the Alien Gods.
The finely honed energy control allowed him to perform tasks that were once unimaginable, even with the same ability and effect.
A vast improvement in utility!
“Why are you interfering in my battle?” Scarlet Moon huffed, her voice laced with annoyance.
Alan simply smiled. He had once feared the legendary Queen of the Scarlet Moon, but now he thought… hehe, she wasn’t so scary after all!
If she knew what he was thinking, she’d definitely kick his leg off.
At that moment, black mud surged from nearby, enveloping Alan’s body.
“What about the final counterattack?”
Alan, completely wrapped up, showed no fear, his tone calm and indifferent.
The Scarlet Moon and herself had pummeled this creature repeatedly, weakening it to the point of being no threat.
In such a short time, there was no way it could pose a danger to the “God of Judgement” inside him.
In fact, as a “Master of Battle,” Alan had already foreseen this step.
“Burn all things.”
Black flames erupted from Alan’s body.
“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!”
The creature, once thought immortal, slowly faded into nothingness amidst endless despair and wailing.
It ceased to exist.
The Fire that had often struggled finally proved its extraordinary power in destroying the immortal creature.
Scarlet Moon and Alan, two middle-ranked Apocalypses with immense power, easily dealt with this formidable foe, without breaking a sweat.
Bai Yan, observing from the shadows, let out a relieved breath.
In the past, this would have been inconceivable.
