Chapter 566: The Most Opposite and the Most Similar
Regarding Bai Yan’s question, the white “Overflowing in the World, Recording Everything” provided the answer.
The answer was nothing short of astonishing.
“Oh, so that’s how it is!”
At this moment, the witch’s expression was captivating.
“Is it really like this? Is there still a chance?”
Deep within Bai Yan, a feeling of both shock and excitement surged.
In fact, it wasn’t just a little surprise—it was a great deal of astonishment.
The annulus civilization’s goal was actually Him…
A situation that He never expected at all.
But upon careful consideration, it seemed strangely reasonable.
“This is truly an unexpected path.”
Merete Chambers squinted her eyes and took a deep breath.
“If this works out, it will be an unimaginable miracle, far surpassing anything seen before.”
“Although they failed… you may still succeed. After all, you are the one I acknowledge as the master.”
Bai Yan, however, remained silent.
There was no response, but deep inside, he understood.
What he had to walk was not the path of the Connector and the God of Games.
Instead, it was the path he had chosen himself.
[Next, our task is to… find a way to awaken the sleeping Mu Ling.]
Merete Chambers paused, confused.
“Why? If Mu Mu wakes up, won’t billions of Spawns and those fallen deities attack Noah’s World immediately?”
She hesitated for a moment and continued,
“In an instant, we’d be defeated. Don’t think that, even as a god, I could handle so many powerful god-level beings.”
Bai Yan disagreed.
[“No, even if she wakes up, she can still use the protective barrier of darkness to defend against the enemies. I understand the power of darkness. Mu Ling may be asleep, but it’s mostly due to her own circumstances,” Bai Yan explained.]
“What do you mean?”
[“Mu Ling doesn’t possess the same strength as you or me. Or rather, I am her greatest emotional support. In her current state, she needs me,” Bai Yan confessed sincerely.]
[“More than a decade ago, she took up the Babel Tower, believing that protecting Noah’s world was my legacy. But in the end, Noah’s world still suffered great damage,” Bai Yan added, his voice tinged with sadness.]
The witch suddenly understood.
“She felt… she let you down? She’s filled with guilt?”
[It’s not her fault.]
Merete Chambers chuckled.
“Oh my, I’m starting to feel jealous. You defend her so quickly, don’t you?”
Bai Yan fell silent.
He knew that the current state of Noah’s world wasn’t Mu Ling’s fault. It was the relentless attacks of the Outer Gods.
Even he might not have been able to handle everything.
[Let’s go back.]
[Wake up, Mu Ling.]
[Wake up faster… from your deep slumber.]
[We cannot leave you… the Babel Tower cannot exist without you.]
Who is it?
Who is calling to me?
The girl, who had transformed into the night, had been asleep for a long time.
Sleeping in an infinite void.
Suddenly, she felt a faint sense of sadness, something that couldn’t be ignored.
It was a feeling that made her want to cry.
I should wake up.
But why do I feel so heavy, so tired? Why don’t I want to wake up at all?
Yes, it’s true.
I am exhausted.
Endless battles, unimaginable deaths, the pain and despair she had borne seemed overwhelmingly immense.
As billions perished, I, the unworthy false Savior who took charge of the Babel Tower, felt inadequate.
Forgive me…
At this moment,
I no longer wish to awaken.
Her soul was trapped in a deep cocoon, unable to break free. The overwhelming negativity made it harder for her to endure.
Or perhaps it was the weight of her responsibilities, causing an overwhelming sense of guilt.
But no matter what, the girl continued to slumber,
transforming into a shield of darkness that protected the entire world, keeping most of its adversaries at bay.
She seemed as if she would never wake.
But once again, she heard that gentle voice.
[You have done very well.]
[Wake up.]
[I need you.]
“It doesn’t look possible.”
Under the night sky of Noah’s world, the witch sat calmly on a large rock, gazing up at the stars scattered across the heavens.
“Even if you don’t listen to me, that child as a servant is not qualified. They definitely need a good spanking.”
The witch’s words, as usual, carried a playful tone.
Bai Yan had long since grown accustomed to her manner of speaking.
To be honest, Merete Chambers never felt boring when inside her body.
In essence, they were quite similar.
If Mu Ling—serious, devoted to her beliefs—was completely opposite to him in character, then the witch, in a way, was the most similar to him.
Bai Yan was carefree, playing in the world, driven by a desire for dominance and control.
He was accustomed to manipulating things from behind the scenes.
Morals were flexible.
Bai Yan sometimes thought, perhaps Merete Chambers was the one who understood him the most.
But as Merete Chambers continued speaking, her words grew more unpleasant.
“Why aren’t you speaking? Well, no matter what, you’ll forgive her, won’t you? After all, you like her the most. Among them, your favorite is actually Mu Ling.”
[I think it’s fine if you don’t speak,] Merete Chambers smirked and squinted her eyes.
“What? Did I touch a nerve? It’s okay, those girls won’t mind much. Or rather, even if they mind, it’s not a big deal…”
“I’ve been to many different worlds, and I’ve seen many ways of reproduction. The so-called institution of marriage is quite rare. The instinct of life in a diverse universe is centered on expanding reproduction. Concepts like chastity and love are illusions, especially for humanoid beings. I believe you think the same, don’t you?”
“So essentially, you never feel like you’ve made mistakes, and luckily in Noah’s world, which is ruled by extraordinary beings, there’s no concept of monogamy. You should be glad about that. Otherwise, it would be difficult to end.”
“The powerful ones decide everything. That’s the consensus of the Noah people. In reality, you and I are the same—greedy and simple in our desire to collect things. The only difference is that the methods and results vary depending on our powers… The treasures in my book fear me, while the people of Babel Tower admire you.”
Merete Chambers’ tone grew calm.
“But no matter what, we both enjoy the feeling of being above everyone else, controlling everything… though, in the end, it’s just an illusion.”
“Did I say it right?”
“Oh, master, if I keep talking, will you get impatient?”
Bai Yan could no longer be bothered by her.
What once amused him now only irritated him.
Luckily, he still held the power to manipulate her.
The Babel Tower’s authority could still be used—reluctantly.
And so, the witch was silenced.
She couldn’t make a sound, even though she had become a deity.
Her power was no match for the Babel Tower.
A victorious smile crossed Bai Yan’s face.
