A new emergency mission called "Vanity and Ignorance" had been assigned.
As soon as Bai Yan saw this name, he immediately recalled a mysterious organization he hadn’t seen for a while – the infamous terrorist group in the diverse universe that was well-known for its acts of terror.
Tower.
Most of these fellows are not humans. From a human perspective, it’s indeed a series of bad deeds, even going so far as to destroy entire civilizations, and never having done a single good deed.
Based on the information provided by "Projection" and "Xu Library", Bai Yan knew deep down in his heart that the Tower organization was actually the followers and disciples of the God of Games from the very beginning. They were the loyal subordinates of this arrogant calamity, who invaded the realms of the gods.
Whether they were loyal or not remains unknown, but they were indeed the subordinates of the God of Games and Gambling.
And, the Tower organization was also very eager to take something away from him, something that should have belonged to the God of Games and Gambling.
Babel Tower.
Bai Yan whispered to himself, saying:
"Treasures of the level of Babel Tower, even the Outer Gods would envy when they see them. Regardless of the motives of the Tower organization, it is normal for them to desire it."According to the information obtained from the "Projection", the Tower organization currently has members who are Solitary, Ignorant, Cruel, Vain, Timid, Jealous, and Hungry. Other positions such as "Greed", "Fear", "Depravity", and "Pride" are all vacant.
Oh, Jealousy and Pride have already been dealt with, so there are six remaining.
Among them, the most troublesome is their leader, the most powerful member of the Tower organization, Solitary.
"Solitary" is most likely already a true deity, possessing incredibly terrifying power. The current members of Babel Tower, bound together, are no match for him.
But, in other words, the identity as a deity is also a great limitation. World consciousness, acting as an "immune system," would not allow Him to act recklessly.
Bai Yan pondered deeply, his hands not idle either. He directly clicked on the new quest called "Vanity and Ignorance."
The form of the new quest remained an RPG, with cute pixelated characters that seemed to pose no threat at all.
In this particular game, there was no character selection phase. The units that Bai Yan could control were only the "World Savior," the "Hidden Azure," and the "Innocent Singer."
Without any miscellaneous enemy encounters, the "Vanity and Ignorance" quest had only two bosses. There was no doubt that they were none other than "Vanity" and "Ignorance" from the Tower organization.
After a brief battle, Bai Yan quickly grasped the most fundamental situation.
Their abilities were very tricky, and at first glance, Bai Yan would be at a disadvantage. However, thanks to the presence of the "Babel Tower" cheat code, Bai Yan could think ahead about how to respond and how to overcome the situation.
"But now, the most important problem to solve first is not defeating the two of them… Hmm."
But instead…
They would engage in a battle in Enos’ new imperial city with Bai Yan and three others. However, in an instant, millions of people in the entire city would perish, with none surviving.
Bai Yan pondered, of course, he didn’t want to see such an outcome.
—
Enos’ new imperial city.
This city is not far from Hoth City. There are millions of people living here. It is Enos’ present political, economic, and cultural center. It has been built for over three hundred years. For many people, it is not really a new imperial city. The imperial city is simply the imperial city.
More than three hundred years was such a long time. The new imperial city wasn’t really new at all.
But for Bai Yan, the thousand-year changes in Enos were nothing more than a year’s worth.
The current Emperor of Enos is named Orinois. In the eyes of outsiders, he hardly involves himself in any matters. All the affairs within the land of Enos are handled by the Emperor’s Council.
For more than forty years, the people secretly referred to him as the "Lazy Emperor."
But only a very few people knew that the "Lazy Emperor" appeared extremely lazy, but in reality, he had always been silently controlling Enos from behind the scenes. The decrees issued by the Council had never contradicted his thoughts.
He may seem uninvolved in ordinary affairs, but every single member of the Council was personally appointed by Orinois.
Now, Orinois calmly sits in the grand and luxurious study of the palace, sitting on a red and golden sofa, peacefully gazing at an ancient book.
He loves the study very much and always enjoys being here, but very few people are aware of the reason.
Actually, the common ancestor of the Enos people and the Andochels people is none other than the ancient ruler of the Andochels, Prince Samael, who married the Day Queen Charlotte. It is said that he often worked in his study, manipulating the affairs of World behind the scenes, effortlessly defeating false gods, and fending off the invasion of the demon army from Hell.
Legend has it that Prince Samael was almost an omnipotent being, resembling a deity. Orinois, as a child, didn’t believe this. He simply thought it was a common behavior of embellishing those in power in history books. However, as he grew older, he sent people to verify one by one and discovered… the content in the legend actually downplayed the stature of Prince Samael!
Even a deity pales in comparison to the legend of this man!
So, as Orinois grew up, he developed a deep admiration for him, determined to learn and follow in his footsteps, to become a hidden mastermind, secretly manipulating Enos, the "Lazy Emperor."
"In a few decades, they would march towards Andochel to unite the two continents. By then, they would be able to establish a new imperial capital in the ancestral land of Prince Samael… the true land called Andochel."
He also made up his mind to forcefully marry the current Empress of Andochel, so that he would have a companion of the same rank as Samael, an "Emperor" level partner.
Orinois smiled faintly, appearing to read a book, while continuing to ponder various plans he had been preparing all along – how to eliminate internal instabilities, how to send spies into the Andochel Empire, and how to make the senators completely obedient to him in every way…
At that very moment, he suddenly looked up.
The man in the mysterious suit, with a calm expression, had salt-and-pepper hair. And there were also two stunningly identical and exquisitely beautiful dolls…
Without any warning!
Suddenly, the three of them appeared in his study!
"Guard!"
Without any hesitation, Orinois immediately wanted to call his guards, but in the next moment, Bai Yan had already frozen time and appeared before him.
He gently reached out his hand.
"Don’t move."
With a powerful surge of mental force, which instantly touched his soul, Orinois opened his mouth. In just a few seconds, his eyes grew confused, and he lost control of his own body.
In a little over an hour, those people from the tower will come knocking at his door. Bai Yan was in a hurry, so he resorted to using the simplest, most straightforward, and unreasonable method.
It was challenging to infiltrate Orinois’ palace. A top-tier powerhouse of Apocalypse level resided there, seemingly an ancestor of Orinois.
If only Bai Yan or Kaluoer were alone, even if they were stronger than each other, it would still be impossible for them to instantly overpower one another. Engaging in a fierce battle might even end up destroying half of the city.
Luckily, the two and a half of them charged together, showing no mercy, and the problem immediately became insignificant.
After the invasion of psychic powers on Emperor Orinois, Bai Yan hesitated for no moment and immediately used "Connection" and the power of the mind to extract information, wanting to learn about the ancient queen Aphrora.
But he soon felt surprised.
"Huh?"
In Orinois’s life story, Aphrora’s presence had never appeared. In the emperor’s understanding, she was merely an ordinary ancestor who had long passed away, despite being a potential ruler of World.
She seemed truly dead.
Enos fell into deep thought. It was intriguing, but the hints from the "Babel Tower" game were usually accurate. Aphrora was very likely still alive, and she could be somewhere in a certain part of the Enos continent.
Afterwards, Bai Yan immediately did the second thing.
He pushed his mind power to the limit, manipulating millions of ordinary people in the city, directing them to leave the city in an orderly manner.
The "Tower" will attack here soon, and there’s no time to evacuate through normal means… Even if Bai Yan wants to change the battlefield, it won’t be easy. According to the deduction in the "Babel Tower," the two sides will always engage in battle within this city.
Although Bai Yan himself is the "only variable" and has changed the future set by the Babel Tower several times, based on the deduced information, he knew that the Tower actually had its own intentions towards the people of this city. Even if it couldn’t find him, it would still pose a threat to this city… Vanity’s ability became more powerful and tricky as the number of people around him increased.
Kaluoer and Evie couldn’t help much for now, so they stood by and watched.
After more than an hour had passed, most of the people in the entire city had been successfully ushered away by Bai Yan. Only then did he finally start to slowly cease the stimulation of his psychic power.
Dizzy and on the verge of fainting, Bai Yan almost passed out, but Kaluoer quickly caught hold of him.
"Master."
Power Possession·Queen of the Scarlet Moon
The power of "Infinity" made Bai Yan instantly open his eyes, fully restored.
But his expression became even more nervous.
"The person of the tower has already arrived."
Come, let’s seize the Babel Tower!
