Chapter 426
Chapter 426
On top of the tall building.
Miss "Justice", the fairy North, held her cellphone and took a deep breath. With a serious tone, she said,
"The people of the Babel Tower had just received some information... Among them were individuals who possessed the power of the mind, and they had learned the truth of this great event from the minds of certain outsiders..."
She looked for a while and said seriously:
"These strangers\' goal is to unlock the seal of the Black Abyss Deep Sea using a \'key\'. The crucial \'key\' is hidden within one of the more than a thousand souls in Tatsumi City. This is the list of those people... We must quickly protect all of these over a thousand individuals."
(Translated by Gravity Tales )
The White Lion, named "Power," also stood on the rooftop, with its strong hands holding an outsider who had been summoned by the Steel Throne.
The outsider\'s mouth and nose were covered in blood, indicating significant injuries."If these fellows don\'t suddenly start a riot, it will be really difficult to find them..."
The White Lion furrowed its brow, with the fur on its face all squished together. "It\'s really strange. Even if we truly have a traitor among us, it\'s truly terrifying how perfectly they have concealed the whereabouts of these people."
"Uh, you, you betrayed \'Rainbow\' and tried to destroy this world. You will definitely meet a bad ending!"
Just then, the man held by the White Lion coughed up blood, his eyes wide open as he frantically cursed his enemies.
The White Lion remained silent for a moment and then said, "I want to give you the same words."
The man looked up at the sky and laughed heartily, angrily saying, "I have a clear conscience! Noah is where I call home, and it is our duty to contribute to saving this world... While you, as the Imperial Guards of the Air Alliance, are hailed as the unbreakable shield, respected by all, yet you have chosen to assist the Outer Gods. It is truly shameful!"
North\'s face turned pale as she argued, "No, that\'s not true! The Steel Throne is the one who\'s bad! Both Babel Tower and us are the good guys!"
The White Lion, however, chuckled softly.
"There\'s no way to reason with them; they believe they are saving the Steel Throne, while we don\'t believe so, and we both have our reasons... Those who refuse to believe in the Steel Throne wouldn\'t even come to Tatsumi City in the first place."
"North," he suddenly said, "in the end, we might have been deceived ourselves, who knows?"
"How can it be?" North immediately wanted to argue. "The Steel Throne killing the Recluse is a fact!"
The White Lion continued, "However, no matter what, only \'strength\' can determine the ultimate truth, and only \'strength\' is the most important factor in deciding the outcome."
The man, upon hearing their words, seemed to realize that these people were not entirely wicked, but merely "deceived." So, he tried his best to persuade them kindly.
"My mother once had a car accident, almost dying. It was the Steel Throne that created a new medicine, and it cured her... Ever since the Steel Throne gave the power of industrialization to the Noah people, many people have been able to have enough to eat and wear, and many people have been able to live longer... It is the kindest god."
"I wasn\'t deceived, it was you who were deceived by the foreign Saviors of the Babel Tower. There\'s still time to regret, please, this world must not be destroyed."
He spoke at last, with true feelings and a sense of urgency.
North also fell into deep thoughts, as she knew that if there was no Steel Throne in Noah, many people might still be unable to have enough food.
Not to mention the convenience of mobile phones, internet, and many other things.
Therefore, many people believed that the Steel Throne was the most important and benevolent deity in the "Rainbow."
For some reason, the White Lion\'s tone suddenly became incredibly calm:
"You might be right, and I don\'t believe in any suddenly appearing Saviors either..."
"But I believe in Mr. Xia, and we witnessed a completely different Steel Throne... It is the one who killed our comrade and is the enemy that must be defeated!"
The man saw that the Imperial Guards were unyielding, he gritted his teeth in frustration, but there was nothing he could do.
Nora asked, "What should we do with him? Tatsumi City is currently in chaos, and there are other incidents happening elsewhere. Should we bring him back to find Sister Shi? It is possible, but it\'s a waste of time."
"Um, there\'s not enough time, sorry."
After the White Lion finished speaking, he suddenly punched and shattered the man\'s skull.
North widened her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.
"Why did you kill him? He was just deceived, he wasn\'t a bad person!"
"You just said, no time left."
The White Lion smiled, a hint of bloodlust in his eyes. "He isn\'t a bad person, but I am not a good one."
Yes, this guy has never been a kind person. Saving people on a regular basis is merely part of Mr. Xia\'s mission, and North actually understands her companion.
North, with the codename "Justice," suddenly felt a bit dizzy. Bad people who wanted to save World, and good people who wanted to destroy it... What on earth is happening to this world?
Why is everything so chaotic?
Boom!
They looked into the distance, where there were loud bursts and flames rising up, between the streets and buildings, one after another.
Tatsumi City, had been becoming more and more chaotic.
"Let\'s go, we don\'t have much time. If you don\'t hurry, more innocent people will die... There should only be the two of us from the nearby Imperial Guards."
After the White Lion finished speaking, he left the rooftop without even looking back.
North gritted her teeth and followed along.
Not long after, they arrived at the location where the street had been attacked. Flames surged up the buildings, but they didn\'t see anyone fleeing in all directions.
"It\'s strange," she thought.
North furrowed her brow, sensing that something was amiss.
It seemed as if all the people had disappeared.
Not only in front of her eyes, but also within a few kilometers of the surrounding buildings, the ordinary people\'s presence seemed to have vanished without a trace.
What\'s going on?
White Lion glanced at the chaotic scene around him and asked Norah, "Do you think I was wrong to kill that person just now? They were valiant warriors with a noble cause, but should the people here be sacrificed?"
North shook her head and said, "Let\'s not talk about it. Saving people... even though I can\'t sense anyone nearby."
Right at that moment, the two of them were momentarily surprised.
A gigantic figure slowly emerged from behind the buildings. It was incredibly massive, yet it moved without revealing any signs of its presence.
That was a tremendously large, beetle-like creature, the size of a small mountain, making its way between the buildings.
North and the White Lion felt a chill running through their hearts as soon as they laid eyes on it, and INT sounded the alarm.
"What is this creature?"
"I don\'t know! But I can feel it, this guy is very strong!"
The enormous creature, like a Black Mountain, turned around, and on its back was a hauntingly large human face.
"Hmm?"
"In this world, among many tiny bugs, two slightly bigger ants finally appeared... Oh, mysteriously, all the ordinary people in this city suddenly vanished."
"I am one of the three kings of the Doomsday Race, Black Mountain... Who are you?"
North didn\'t answer. Instead, with a serious tone and earnestness, she asked, "Should we escape?"
She could sense that her opponent was a powerful being of the Apocalypse level, while she herself was just a middle ranked Crown, with the Lion being slightly superior as a crowned ruler... But the gap was still too evident.
Before the White Lion could speak, Black Mountain immediately made a response.
"Wanna run away?"
Suddenly, a black insect leg shot out from its massive belly, moving with astonishing speed.
Meanwhile, the White Lion didn\'t have a chance to react and was instantly stomped hard, sinking deep into the ground!
"Ah!"
North gasped, clutching a white sword in her hand, and without hesitation, she fiercely attacked the insect leg.
But in an instant, despite launching a series of attacks, there was not the slightest sign of damage, only some minor scratches remained.
"Hahahaha!"
Black Mountain, the human face on the back of this black armored beetle laughed heartily and said, "With your strength alone, even if you attack for ten thousand years, you won\'t be able to kill me! It\'s better not to struggle and become nourishment for me!"
Oh, how frustrating! Is there no match for the strength of a lion?
North discovered that there was a vast difference in strength between the two sides, and her heart was filled with a mix of emotions.
How could she have encountered such a powerful opponent? She couldn\'t even put up a fight, is she going to perish here?
Just at that moment, a golden streak of light flew in from the heavens and landed heavily on the back of the black beetle. The enormous beetle, as big as a small mountain, was pushed back by the force of the blow.
The White Lion also emerged in a sorry state from underground. Just as it had barely caught its breath, it saw the person who had rescued them.
Aurora asked,
"Are you all okay?"
Aurora, the Sacred Heart\'s Chosen, who had already arrived at the Potential Apocalypse, made her entrance, with her knights standing around her.
She had just gathered the power of everyone and launched an attack from the sky, forcefully pushing back the monstrous creatures of the Apocalypse with a single strike.
The people of the Babel Tower, were they?
The White Lion glanced at the other and began to ponder.
"This monster is very strong, be careful," North shouted loudly.
Aurora appeared in Noah\'s world during a mission, and both the White Lion and North recognized her.
She was indeed one of the several core members of the Babel Tower.
Black Mountain made a sound once again:
"Hehehe, members of the Babel Tower, huh? Nullify seems to know something about the Babel Tower\'s plan... I have actually never heard about you, but I know more about the \'Tower\'."
"Nullify ... this guy is the subordinate of the Hundred-Armed Giant!"
North exclaimed in astonishment, recognizing the other person\'s true identity.
The Doomsday Race, a term familiar to those well-versed in mysticism, had always been heard of, but very few knew of Nullify.
Even though Black Mountain was pushed back by the attack, it remained completely fearless.
It arrogantly swung the black insect legs that drilled out from its body, each one resembling a dark iron pillar, relentlessly crashing down on everyone.
"Be careful!" Aurora exclaimed immediately.
Next, Aurora, the White Lion, North, and the knights frantically dodged the attacks, holding on for dear life.
But what truly made them feel helpless was that no matter how they attacked, they were unable to break through the opponent\'s armor.
Even with a full force strike, it only made the opponent take a step back. Aurora could clearly see that the monster didn\'t have a scratch in the spot where it was just hit.
Just when they felt helpless, the monster let out a sound that filled them with even more despair.
"If I continue to fight like this, it seems like I won\'t be able to kill you. I have no choice but to unleash even greater power."
Black Mountain plans to unleash even more power!
The face on the back of the beetle suddenly became fierce, and hundreds and thousands of black insect legs burst out from its body, all moving at incredible speed, raining down on the crowd.
Aurora and her companions had nowhere to hide. Their faces turned pale, but then Aurora quickly thought of using her magical powers to unleash an unstoppable charge, creating an "invincible shield" to block this attack.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a white tower appeared, adorned with intricate spiral patterns and shimmering with golden light, as if it were a miraculous wonder.
It stood firmly in front of the crowd, hundreds and thousands of black insect legs pressing against it.
"Hmm?"
"What is this strange thing?"
Black Mountain was startled, feeling as though it was engaged in a struggle with a real mountain. Gradually, it became unable to hold its ground and was slowly overwhelmed by the opposing force.
The white colossal tower finally pressed down upon its body, just like a pen pinning down a spider, rendering Black Mountain completely immobile.
"Sister Shi!" North exclaimed with delight, as Miss Shi Nianyu from the "Tall Tower" appeared.
Shi Nianyu had already appeared in mid-air, her expression ice-cold, wearing a beautiful white evening gown that exuded a captivating aura of elegance.
She was a formidable middle-ranked Apocalypse, second only to Mr. Xia among the Imperial Guards.
Within the Air Alliance, nearly all the Crown level extraordinary beings were imprisoned by the power of her innate ability, the "Divine Tower". Up until now, a total of thirty-five renowned Crown extraordinary beings had been confined within her "Divine Tower".
"Ah, I will destroy all of you!"
The monster roared, its voice resounding like a volcanic eruption. North and the others couldn\'t help but cover their ears, and soon felt a tremendous wave of heat sweeping in from all directions!
The enormous black beetle that was originally there had now transformed into a vibrant crimson color. It was covered in terrifying high temperatures, and the ground around it began to rapidly melt.
This was the true power of the opponent, far surpassing them!
This incredibly terrifying body is not just stronger in terms of power, speed, and resilience, but significantly surpasses what it was just moments ago.
The white tower was also flipped into the sky. It spun around in the air, not collapsing, but instead floating high above, emitting an eerie glow that enveloped the enormous beetle.
"Come in," said Shi Nianyu.
The mighty suction gradually pulled Black Mountain into the white tower, and Shi Nianyu\'s figure vanished from the real world.
To Black Mountain\'s astonishment, it found itself in a pure white space, devoid of ground or sky. It was suspended here, floating without any sense of up, down, left, or right.
Even with a mountain-like physique, in this space where the concept of size may not exist, it seemed as insignificant as dust.
It didn\'t see the wicked enemy, but only heard a distant voice.
"Here, I am invincible."
"I can freely borrow the special powers, spells, and relics of all the prisoners inside the tower... and, I can use them even more powerfully than they can."
Black Mountain raged, as a large amount of boiling lava erupted from its body. If it were still in the real world, it could instantly destroy several streets.
But here, it couldn\'t even see its own enemies.
Shi Nianyu\'s voice continued to be heard.
"Even though we are extraordinary beings of the same level, our compatibility is such that you cannot possibly be my enemy!"
Immediately after, Black Mountain encountered an array of completely different extraordinary powers emerging from all directions.
One extraordinary power after another struck against Black Mountain\'s body, and immediately it began to wail and scream in great agony. The massive black beetle gradually lost its vitality, as if it was slowly being drained of life.
"Ah, ah, ah! How dare you! If you have the guts, come out!"
Shi Nianyu had no intention of holding back, and it was impossible for her to appear. Her face expressionless, she exerted all her effort to unleash the power of numerous prisoners trapped within the tower.
Black Mountain\'s body was incredibly powerful, like a living volcano. However, in this strange realm, it couldn\'t find any enemies and had no place to stand. It could only passively endure the attacks.
It had no means of response or solution, and could only be scraped until it was unable to stand again.
Opposites clash!
North, White Lion, Aurora, and others waited for a long time in the real world before they finally saw Shi Nianyu reappear.
"Sister Shi, did you win?" North asked immediately.
Shi Nianyu also appeared exhausted. He nodded gently and said,
"Hmm, but the one I defeated was just a clone of it. The one earlier was not the real body."
"Ah?"
North was stunned after hearing this. The person was clearly incredibly powerful, but was it not the real body?
How could this be possible?
Shi Nianyu, however, wasn\'t surprised and said, "But its true form won\'t be much stronger, after all."
She looked at Aurora of the Babel Tower and sincerely said,
"The descendants of the Doomsday Race are very powerful. They are the subordinates of ancient giants with a hundred arms, and even have the ability to destroy some small worlds... If we want to fight them, we must unite with you to face the enemy together."
Aurora recalled the salvation of her own world and nodded. She also said gladly, "That is exactly my intention. My duty is to protect World from being destroyed, no matter which world it is."
For Aurora, this was the meaning of her joining the Babel Tower.
"My knights, be prepared for battle and sacrifice... I will stand by your side!"
