Chapter 413
"Oh no, oh no, how frightening..."
Because of the magic, the activated elevator trembled. It knew very well the true identities of the Imperial Guards that were walking within its own body.
The phrase that truly determined the existence of the Air Alliance!
Bai Yan had long noticed that five Imperial Guards stepped out of the elevator.
Leading the way was a tall and mighty white-haired beastman, a red-eyed lion wearing a white high-collared suit. Standing at a towering three meters, his appearance was undoubtedly rugged, with bulging, muscular strength.
But for some unknown reason, it possessed a kind of refined and gentlemanly demeanor deep within, creating a striking contrast.
With three large cigars held in its mouth!
Imperial Guards"Power".
"Justice" stood by his side.
"Justice" is a fairy girl with short golden hair, she is not very tall, her facial features are exquisite, and her skin is fair like milk.
She wore a white suit, with a skirt on the lower half. Her eyes were filled with innocent and lively energy, and she had a pineapple bun in her mouth.
"Justice" and "Power" were once both killed by the mighty power of the Chosen for Eternity, but they were resurrected by the "Ancient Covenant", at the cost of the kings.
The strong ones joined the Imperial Guards, willingly being driven by the kings, not just for wealth and status, but more importantly, because of the immortality and eternal life granted by the "Covenant".
She blinked her eyes and curiously looked at the crowd at Babel Tower, with a bun in her mouth.
"Oh no! The mighty blade (people) of the Babel Tower cries!"
Behind "Justice" stood a skinny and weak old man, wearing a long black robe and squinting eyes.
His smile carried a mysteriousness that was hard to decipher, like that of the elusive Imperial Guards' "Recluse".
"Indeed, these are the people of the Babel Tower," said the old man with a cheerful smile, as if he had known all along that he would meet the people of Babel Tower here.
Ms. Shi Nianyu from the Imperial Guards stood still. She was dressed in a black evening gown, with exquisite features that even rivaled Mu Ling and the Scarlet Moon. According to Babel Tower's evaluation, she was undoubtedly a perfect ten.
Upon seeing the people from Babel Tower, Shi Nianyu first nodded to Maryse, whom she had met at the banquet.
Maryse stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit embarrassed about keeping her membership in Babel Tower a secret from the others. But now, there was no need to hide it any longer.
Finally... Mr. "World" stepped out of the elevator.
Sword-like eyebrows, deep and piercing eyes.
Dressed in black, he calmly squeezed his way out of the crowd and somewhat irritably said, "White Lion, with your size, you should avoid using elevators in the future."
The Imperial Guards of the king were only a dozen in total, never really reaching the maximum number of Tarot card slots in theory. It was extremely rare for five guards to appear at the same time.
White Lion chuckled and said, "Finally, I've found an elevator that can accommodate me. I just have to give it a try. I couldn't get into any other elevators before. I always had to walk and climb several floors, even if it wasn't tiring, it would still be quite annoying. How could I pass up this opportunity... This world is just not friendly to large beings, sigh."
"Nice to meet you, I am the profligate of Babel Tower."
Bai Yan walked up with a smile, looking like the leader of a group of members from Babel Tower.
"I've heard about you."
"World" nodded and calmly looked into Bai Yan's eyes.
With a pair of eyes that exuded an awe-inspiring aura, ordinary people would instinctively kneel down when they saw him. But Bai Yan didn't feel the slightest bit affected.
"I will go back inside first."
The Scarlet Moon had no interest in the Imperial Guards. She shook her head and walked past them, entering the elevator.
Watching the Queen of the Scarlet Moon walking past her, Miss Justice quickly finished eating her bread with a surprised expression on her face, her two pointed ears slightly perked up.
"He is a vampire!"
No one paid attention to her. In fact, everyone was focused on the negotiation between the leaders of both sides.
"I hope this collaboration will be pleasant, and we can prevent the arrival of that individual," Babel Tower calmly said. "In fact, our purpose at Babel Tower has always been the same - to save World. We should never be enemies, neither us nor you."
"I canceled the warrant for your arrest precisely because I believe in this."
Chord City, the World nodded and calmly began discussing the matter, saying, "Recently, many believers of It have gathered in Chord City. Based on our speculation, these believers seem to be arranging something, and it seems to have grown to a certain scale... When all the arrangements are completed, It should truly descend."
The two of them were referring to no one else but the Steel Throne, one of the "Rainbows"!
"The biggest problem now is that we still don't know the details of the arrival ceremony, so we can't understand how to interrupt it."
Bai Yan nodded gently and smiled, saying, "Luckily, I know."
"Oh?" World glanced at him curiously.
Bai Yan continued, "A meme, Blank Fire... It is a flame that burns in people's dreams, capturing their gaze. Recently, more and more people have been dreaming of Blank Fire, and this dream phenomenon is spreading... And once enough people dream of Blank Fire, that being will descend."
In World of Noah outside the Babel Tower, Bai Yan and the others never directly referred to it as the "Steel Throne."
The names of gods always have special meanings and extraordinary characteristics. Once heard by Him, it could lead to significant trouble.
Shi Nianyu furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "Blank Fire, what is that?"
Bai Yan shook his head. "Actually, I'm not very clear about Blank Fire either, but that's what the Savior said. We need to stop the spread of Blank Fire... Hmm, these great beings never seem to clearly explain things."
In fact, the information provided by the Babel Tower was just that, and Bai Yan didn't know exactly what Blank Fire was either.
They only knew that it was a peculiar meme, which would constantly be transmitted in dreams and accumulate until it reached a certain level, causing the corrupted Steel Throne to descend.
"That's enough."
"As long as you know the 'name', it is enough to glimpse."
World remained calm, then reached out into the emptiness and pulled out a hazy, translucent scroll.
This scroll appeared and disappeared, like something that wasn't a tangible object.
Bai Yan was slightly stunned, realizing that this seemed to be some kind of innate power.
"The Picture of Time, reveal the truth to me."
After World was described, the finger wrote the words "Blank Fire" on the scroll.
Shortly after, his face started aging rapidly, turning unrecognizable in a short period of time.
"Pay close attention..." the voice of World became extremely hoarse.
A fiery flame also appeared on the scroll.
Everyone saw the fiery flame, as it magically burned on the blank canvas within the scroll. It had a black border and was itself a nearly pure white flame.
It was burning.
As if it would burn to the end of civilization, to the edge of the universe.
In the moment they laid eyes on this white flame, everyone felt a strange sensation.
They seemed to catch glimpses of the forging of steel, the discovery of magic, the whistle of trains, extraordinary breakthroughs, numerous glorious scenes from history, continuously appearing in their minds.
These tiny, gathered powers are causing the whole world to change rapidly, creating the Noah civilization that exists today.
Progress!
This is the meaning represented by the Blank Fire.
It is also the concept symbolized by the Steel Throne.
Except for Bai Yan, everyone stared at the blaze, unable to take their eyes off it. Deep within their hearts, they all knew that this flame was the most important and best thing in World!
The power of progress made civilization thrive and made the strong even stronger. In fact, everyone pursued it, desperately seeking it, even at the cost of their lives.
Now, it is right in front of everyone.
"Stop!"
Just at that moment, the scroll suddenly vanished into thin air, and everyone was released from the eerie atmosphere.
The gentleman, who had originally aged, began to rejuvenate at a visible speed and soon returned to his youthful state, good as new.
Bai Yan silently observed the scene, and it was evident that the Imperial Guards were not surprised by Mr. World's situation. It seemed that he frequently wielded this kind of power.
During the first playthrough, Mr. World occasionally acted as a boss, revealing his health bar. Bai Yan was well aware of the innate power possessed by this man.
That was extremely challenging, a terrifying ability that could be considered incredibly powerful among all sorts of peculiar and extraordinary talents!
"All things are ready."
The nature of all things is connected to World.
In theory, he could unleash all of his extraordinary powers!
The power of "All things are ready" is similar to the witch's "Overflowing in the World, Recording Everything". However, the latter can only project the extraordinary powers she has seen once, and it is not limited to innate abilities. Spells, invisible arts, and rituals can also be projected.
However, the power of "All things are ready" is different. Although he couldn't use spells, invisible arts, and other extraordinary powers, he could harness all the innate powers in World!
Even the innate powers that even "World" himself has never witnessed can be utilized as long as he "knows" about them within his understanding.
Originally, there was a limit on the number of times he could use his powers before reaching the Apocalypse. However, ever since the "World" arrived at the Apocalypse, he can use each innate power not just a few times, but an unlimited number of times!
The current only limitation is that the effectiveness of the showcased innate powers would be one level lower than the "world's" own level of strength.
But this is also very terrifying, because if he were to battle against the upper-ranked Apocalypse "World", it would be equivalent to fighting against all the extraordinary individuals of middle-ranked Apocalypses in World in a grueling battle!
A tricky ability, Bai Yan pondered silently.
"Actually, that being is a very positive deity... Really, do we really have to be enemies with Him?" Righteousness couldn't help but ask, his pointy ears drooping a little.
In the education that they received from childhood, in Worldview of righteousness, Rainbows were always seen as good and sacred, high above and not to be desecrated.
New novel are published on .
One of the Rainbows has now become an enemy, which truly unsettles righteousness.
She had always been a bit "naive," and the Imperial Guards had grown accustomed to it.
"High Tower" Shi Nianyu shook his head and said, "Among the numerous prisoners I have detained, there are also some who appear to be kind-hearted on the surface but have actually committed numerous acts of slaughter. Many things should not be judged by appearances alone."
"Oh... okay."
Justice's ears drooped completely.
Maryse looked at the high elf of her own race in front of her, and suddenly felt a fondness for him. Her face lit up with a beaming smile.
Hmm, although she is a tiny bit taller than me, she has a flat chest just like me, and she's not as pretty as me... She must be a really nice person!
Giggles!
Bai Yan smiled and said, "Progress, indeed, is very important, a very good concept. Almost everyone in Noah's world is pursuing it... But incorrect progress, sometimes, can actually bring about destruction."
"It truly is the case."
Mr. World nodded, agreeing with Bai Yan's words.
"It is most important to determine the direction of 'progress' and this may even be more important than 'progress' itself," Mr. World slowly spoke.
In the evening.
They didn't know what happened, but in the end, the two groups of people decided to have dinner together.
The Kai Xuan Garden is a special place for dining, adorned with various precious plants and filled with adorable little animals that can be seen everywhere.
At this very moment, the members of the Babel Tower and the Imperial Guards of the king were already in the hotel garden, where they began to enjoy a barbecue buffet.
Everyone seemed to have become very familiar with each other. The five girls stood together, chatting and laughing... except for Scarlet Moon, who remained silent.
But she had at least arrived... although it was Mu Ling who had dragged her here.
Meanwhile, "Power," "Recluse," and Alan, the three men, were grilling meat on the other side, smiling and kindly conversing.
The current situation, just as Maryse had imagined, seemed as if it had truly become a social gathering.
(Translated by Gravity Tales ??)
At that moment, the renowned Mr. "World" came downstairs with a grim expression on his face and entered the garden.
He floated on his steps, looking miserable, while Bai Yan cheerfully followed behind him, smiling.
The deserving champion of the Air Alliance, hesitated in speech, wanting to speak yet holding back, and wanting to hold back yet speak.
"Your chess moves are pretty good," nodded Mr. World.
Bai Yan smiled and said, "I'm okay. I'm good at playing games, after all, chess is also a kind of game, right?"
"Why have you only just come down?"
Shi Nianyu walked towards Mr. World. Whenever they got closer to each other, a strange atmosphere would arise, even causing Bai Yan and others to be unable to join the conversation.
"Just playing chess."
Mr. World fell silent for a moment. Indeed, he had just been playing chess with Profligate.
But he didn't win a single game.
His chess skills were excellent, reaching a level comparable to professionals. However, in front of this person, he had no chance of fighting back. Every time the game reached the middle stage, he knew that victory was out of reach.
What a great blow it was!
Shi Nianyu nodded and smiled, saying, "Well then, I won't say much either. After all, this is your only hobby... I'll go first and bring some grilled meat for Kessel. You should also have a bite... Later, I'll play chess with you! Is that okay?"
"Yes, it's my only hobby," Mr. World said with a blank expression. "But these past few days, I suddenly don't feel like playing anymore."
"Up to you then, who cares!" Shi Nianyu shook her head and let out a huff.
After saying that, she simply vanished into thin air.
Kessel?
Both Alan and Bai Yan showed a slight reaction, even though they were far apart.
They knew about Kessel, the "emperor," and were imprisoned in the "tower" due to previous events. They didn't know when they would be set free. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"Oh, I see," it turns out that Shi Nianyu can enter the tower where Peggie, Kessel, and others are imprisoned at any time.
Bai Yan fell into deep thought and could probably guess that this was a type of special power related to space.
He let out a sigh, realizing that this was another challenging character to deal with.
I hope that there will never be a day when the Imperial Guards engage in a battle.
