Chapter 574: The Invitation of the Game Duel
The Immortal Dragon of Time gazes into the distance.
[The God of Law’s physical form is just over there, a massive sphere of golden light. But now, He is facing grave issues… Anyway, follow me.]
In the next instant, the Immortal Dragon of Time accelerates time.
The people on the first main star felt as if they were suddenly lifted and whisked away, covering a vast distance in the blink of an eye, only to find themselves at the God of Law’s location in no time.
Yet, the environment around them seemed mostly unchanged.
[“You’re back!” she exclaimed.]
A massive dragon, its scales shimmering in blue, turned toward the gathering.
Alongside him were seven other Immortal Dragons.
Including the Dragon of Time, a total of nine Immortal Dragons, rulers of the Tylor civilization, stood there.
All of them were god-like beings.
The people in Babel Tower could feel the immense pressure, causing some to tremble uncontrollably.
Fortunately, all the newcomers were incredibly powerful Apocalypse warriors.
If even a single Crown-level extraordinary being had been present, they would have collapsed instantly.
Alan was deeply shaken.
Even though he had known for a long time that the Immortal Dragon Council, which ruled the Tylor civilization, was composed of nine immensely powerful Immortal Dragons,
Seeing them in person still struck him profoundly.
Alan thought to himself.
Thankfully, during this journey, that wicked witch was also present.
Without her, their group would have been without a god-level being, making them easy prey for the opposition.
The gap between gods and non-gods was vast, and bridging that gap was no easy feat.
It was likely even wider than the difference between Outer Gods and ordinary deities.
The Immortal Dragon in red spoke:
[Are these people from Babel Tower? Despite their strength, it seems unlikely to make a difference. Our old friend clearly faces a major issue.]
“Trying is always worth it,” the blue Immortal Dragon shook its head.
Bai Yan, aided by Merete Chambers’ body, finally observed the so-called God of Law,
A gigantic sphere of golden light.
At first glance, that was exactly what it appeared to be.
Suspended in mid-air, it was the size of a football field.
Considering the colossal objects he’d encountered so far, it wasn’t as overwhelming as it seemed.
An overwhelming sense of order radiated, but it didn’t cause any discomfort.
Around the golden sphere, intersecting dark golden rings floated, each inscribed with constantly shifting twisted words.
The rings seemed to grow darker, but just before they vanished into complete blackness, they would light up again.
These two crossing dark golden rings may be the very essence of all the Great Laws.
Bai Yan began contemplating deeply.
It seemed that the God of Law was under external influence, corrupted, yet He was still resisting with His own strength.
[Could it be the power of an Outer God?]
Maryse suddenly exclaimed, “The Tower organization, we know the Tower is behind this… It’s highly probable they’re responsible!”
The Dragon of Time nodded, while the black Immortal Dragon across from them asked:
[Babel Tower, huh? Speaking of which, is your Babel Tower really unrelated to the Tower? The Savior and the Game, they originate from the same source, don’t they? Could it be that before the Game and the God of Games were reincarnated, they didn’t leave behind any contingency plans?]
His tone was full of doubt and wariness.
Amy snapped, “Since we’ve already agreed to cooperate, why are you still voicing distrust?”
The Dragon of Time shook its head, replying, “Discussing these things now is pointless. The real question is, what do we do next?”
“I have a plan.”
Merete Chambers smiled and opened the “Overflowing in the World, Recording Everything” book before them.
The Immortal Dragons immediately turned their attention to it when they recognized the Ruin-level Relic.
Even for beings like them, the Ruin-level Relic was an invaluable and hard-to-ignore treasure.
The Dragon of Time spoke again:
[This is Overflowing in the World, Recording Everything, right? I remember it claims to hold all the secrets of the World. If that’s true, why don’t you go and find… the answer we need.]
“Of course, I took it out for that purpose.”
Merete Chambers, in front of everyone, asked two important questions to Overflowing in the World, Recording Everything.
The first question was…
How can we help the God of Law overcome his difficulties?
Words began to slowly appear on the white pages.
“Kill the solitary one.”
The group was initially taken aback but wasn’t surprised after some thought.
It seemed the Tower organization had indeed been up to something… What had they done to the God of Law?
[But where is ‘Solitary’, the leader of the Tower organization?]
Merete Chambers raised the second question.
The second question was…
How can we track down the Tower organization?
The answer became clear almost immediately.
“Just go with the flow.”
“What a ridiculous answer!” the Black Dragon growled.
Everyone was stunned. What could this possibly mean?
Just wait here and let things unfold on their own?
[Is this thing truly useful?]
The red Immortal Dragon, who had raised the question earlier, spoke again.
At this moment, Merete Chambers asked her third question:
How can we find “the Final Stele”?
“The God of Law knows the answer.”
And with that, the loop was closed.
The group at Babel Tower exchanged looks, but none of them had any solid ideas.
Nian conjured up a few words.
“That’s all we can do, just wait here.”
“What should we do?”
Merete Chambers smiled and muttered to herself, “Now, where can we find the Final Stele? It seems unlikely that members of the Tower organization will just appear out of nowhere. And regarding the God of Law’s issue, there doesn’t seem to be an easy solution.”
If things drag on, the situation of the Tylor civilization will worsen.
The group was at a loss, but Bai Yan remained calm and composed.
He trusted the judgment of the Ruin-level Relic.
[No problem.]
[The members of the Tower organization will reveal themselves.]
“Um, are you sure?” the witch asked.
[I’ve understood them well enough. They’ve always been proactive, never waiting for things to come to them… And we’ve already arrived at their doorstep.]
[It’s typical of those who follow the God of Games and Gambling, they seek challenges.]
At that moment, a beam of silver light descended from the sky!
With astonishing force, even the many god-level beings present were overwhelmed!
It targeted the Babel Tower group, excluding the Immortal Dragons and the three others, including Shi Nianyu.
[It’s the power of the God of Games and Gambling! Could it be He’s not dead after all?]
[Impossible! This can’t be happening!]
[Oh, how frustrating!]
The Immortal Dragons felt deep fear rising within them, recognizing the divine power of the God of Games and Gambling, who had once nearly wiped out half their kind millions of years ago.
Bai Yan heard a voice in his mind.
To his surprise, it sounded strikingly like his own.
[Accept the challenge, or perish.]
[The wager…]
[Babel Tower.]
[Prize]
[The fate of the God of Law.]
Bai Yan understood instantly.
“This is the power of the God of Games and Gambling,” he declared.
“If one were to become a god, this would be one of the divine powers and privileges awakened.”
At this moment, Ju Yunran was taking the initiative to apply it to himself.
By accepting the challenge, all the Babel Tower members would be drawn into the game. If they lost, the authority over Babel Tower would be handed over to Solitary.
But if they won, Solitary would resolve the God of Law’s predicament… In other words, he would sacrifice himself.
All games must be fair.
But Solitary and the others would be the ones to set the rules.
“Quite difficult.”
The witch said,
“In fact, there’s another option. We could attempt to face the punishment challenge with the Immortal Dragons. Even though it could lead to heavy losses or complete destruction, afterward we could confront the Tower organization with many Immortal Dragons.”
Bai Yan fell silent for a moment.
The God of Games’ power and authority were overwhelming.
If he rejected the invitation to the “game duel,” then the others would face attacks far more powerful.
The amplified power was beyond even the mightiest Greater Deity. It was clear that only an Outer God or advanced civilizations could withstand such force.
That’s why so many gods and civilizations were forced to accept the God of Games’ challenges.
[You know we cannot refuse the invitation.]
Merete Chambers narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying, “Alright, let the game officially begin… Actually, I can sense your excitement too.”
Excited, are you?
Perhaps it’s true.
Bai Yan’s soul wanted to smile.
He, after all, was a World Savior.
From the very beginning, his only desire was to play games, nothing more!
[Tower…]
[Solitary…]
[I am the Savior of the Babel Tower.]
[The one behind the countless warriors.]
[Is the Savior of the World, but also your destroyer.]
[Since it’s the end, you want it to conclude this way.]
[Then, I accept the invitation to the game.]
