I’m the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

In the midst of extraordinary battles, the most crucial factor determining victory or defeat was information.

Bai Yan had long learned about the abilities of Vanity and Ignorance through the "Babel Tower" game.

Just as Kaluoer’s attack struck Vanity, unleashing "Annihilation of the Unseen," it should have rendered Vanity’s extraordinary powers nonexistent, but it seemed that it had no effect.

Kaluoer’s confusion deepened as the damage continued to be redirected onto herself…

The reason, in fact, was very simple.

It wasn’t that Vanity’s extraordinary powers were not eliminated at that moment, but rather because the power of "damage redirection" didn’t belong to him… this was actually the power of "Ignorance."

The power of ‘Ignorance’ possessed a special realm, with an immense scope of influence.

Anyone who was involved in battle near it, regardless of friend or foe, would randomly inflict damage upon others engaged in the fight.

Unless the target of the attack happens to be allies or oneself, it would never have a normal effect on the enemy.

Without a doubt, this was another reason why Bai Yan didn’t want to intervene in the one-on-one duel between the two.

Now it was Kaluoer and Vanity’s turn to duel, so their attacks would be inflicted upon each other.

If she were to intervene as well, she would randomly inflict damage upon herself and Kaluoer, while Kaluoer would also randomly inflict damage upon herself and her. In short, it wouldn’t affect Vanity in a normal way.

The ability of Ignorance is very tricky. If you want to make use of its transfer ability, try attacking yourself and your teammate… Then, it might actually hit normally.

In the scenario of the "Babel Tower" game, if I were to team up with Kaluoer, it would definitely cause great harm to my teammates.

"Kaluoer, he gave it to you."

Bai Yan vanished on the spot, taking Evie with him as they left this place.

He wanted to eliminate Ignorance.

First, they found it and Bai Yan closed his eyes.

The power of the soul instantly extended hundreds of miles around.

They found it.

In the blink of an eye, both of them had arrived at the cliff outside the new capital.

They both witnessed something incredibly strange and inexplicable, causing a spine-chilling sense.

"What, what is this?"

Evie was utterly astonished. In front of her stood a creature made up of numerous black lumps and a "gut," adorned with twisted eyes and mouths that emitted eerie sounds.

She had seen monsters, creatures of magic, and even frightening things before… but this twisted, evil, and eerie being was unlike anything she had ever encountered before!

Disgustingly evil!

"This thing is the last remaining entity in a universe that has already perished, not belonging to any race, but merely a remnant in its demise."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he felt Ignorance was "launching an attack," a type of attack that he couldn’t resist at the moment.

His intelligence decreased.

"What is this…?" Evie spoke up, her voice gradually growing quieter and her gaze becoming fixed.

Bai Yan naturally didn’t answer, and his gaze became fixed.

"…"

Bai Yan and Evie gazed dumbfoundedly at the terrifying monster, their eyes fixed and their mouths curved into silly smiles.

They became foolish, their intelligence dropped to a terrible level, rendering them unable to engage in battle properly.

Ignorance wriggled and crawled slowly forward.

Its size started gradually increasing, growing to be over ten meters tall. Then, from its fleshy lump, thin tentacles with bloody needle-like tips emerged, wriggling and coiling towards the bewildered duo.

This was how it hunted.

In the moment those tentacles made contact with their target, they would swiftly extract the flesh and blood of their prey using numerous needle-like openings. In the blink of an eye, the once entangled being would be reduced to mere bones and skin.

All targets that harbor hostility towards Ignorance would immediately lose their intelligence, becoming unequivocally feeble-minded.

Vanity, having passed the "Six Rites" during the "Rite of Inner Strength" ceremony, possessed the power of the "heart perception." Their soul remained unaffected by external forces, making them an exceptional case within the realm of exceptions.

So, he was arranged to team up with Solitary and Ignorant.

Bai Yan watched as the other approached, his eyes wide open. Surprisingly, he felt no fear in his mind. Instead, he experienced a sense of unparalleled joy and freedom.

What doomsday, what Babel Tower, what messy stuff, are no longer a burden at all!

He felt that this so-called monster was actually a giant cake, there was nothing scary about it, he even wanted to take a bite.

"Hehehe." Thinking about this, Bai Yan even burst into laughter.

Evie was not afraid, but rather found it quite boring.

She danced around, making incoherent noises as she started to fuss.

"Sister, sister, I want a sister, oh… sister, sister!"

The monster slowly approached.

"Inside a peaceful village… where dreams come true…"

Ignorance, continuously emitting unintelligible and seemingly meaningless murmurs, the tentacles were about to capture the two of them.

But right at that moment, something unexpected happened.

Clumsy Bai Yan took action!

Two hours ago, the game "Babel Tower" had already undergone simulations, and at that time, Bai Yan had already controlled the battles of "World Savior" and "Innocent Singer".

Therefore, even though Bai Yan and Evie had turned into silly puppies, it didn’t stop them from moving on their own!

—

On the other side, Vanity and Kaluoer were facing each other in a confrontation.

Suddenly, Kaluoer appeared.

Her speed was fast, and she approached first from the dimension of nothingness before acting in the realm of reality. When she appeared, the blade was already close to Vanity’s body.

But the attack was still a step behind the opponent.

In the "Six Rites" ceremony, the "Rite of the Body" made Vanity’s body astonishingly fast, and his attacks unexpectedly hit first… but it tore wounds upon himself.

The realm of Ignorance had an effect on Vanity as well.

Kaluoer’s attacks came to an end, realizing that whoever continued to attack would be foolish… After all, they would only end up hurting themselves.

But she couldn’t understand why the opponent, knowing that the damage would rebound, still unleashed the same attack.

"Scars are the badges of the mighty."

Vanity’s voice was incredibly steady, as a huge scar appeared on his chest, looking very fierce.

Afterwards, his body began to grow even taller, starting from an average height and transforming to a staggering five to six meters in stature.

This was Vanity’s innate power!

Kaluoer realized that her injuries didn’t weaken her; on the contrary, they heightened the strength of her enemies!

That means…

If he hit himself, he would hurt himself in return.

He hits me, but the harm rebounds and makes him even stronger.

Kaluoer was a little speechless.

She had encountered extraordinary individuals with peculiar abilities before, but she had never come across someone so twisted and abnormal!

Vanity, a tall and imposing figure, calmly looked down upon the tiny assassin on the ground.

"I am strong."

His voice, as if the only command in the entire world.

"You are only worthy to be a sacrificial offering."

The so-called character "卯" was a way of dividing the sacrificial offering into two parts.

Vanity was born in a religious civilization, where the people believed in a god called the "Awakened One." Everything they did was in hopes of getting closer to the legendary "Awakened One."

In that place, the extraordinary ones were called the Enlightened Ones, and among them, the most promising individuals would be chosen by the rulers of this civilization, known as the "Masters," to take part in the Six Rites ceremony.

The masters were all Enlightened Ones, and they were the esteemed and powerful group among the Enlightened Ones.

The Six Rites is a collective term for six different ceremonial rituals. They correspond to "mouth," "nose," "eyes," "ears," "body," and "mind" for the senses.

With each completed rite, a corresponding ability would awaken, making them grow stronger.

But becoming stronger is not the goal, the true goal is to get closer to the ‘Awakened Ones’.

The wise and secluded masters believed that any Enlightened One had the chance to become a new Awakened One. This was the lifelong pursuit they dedicated themselves to, even willing to sacrifice their very lives for it.

Vanity, a once ordinary child from a humble family, had nothing particularly special about him before he awakened extraordinary powers.

His parents didn’t value him, his friends forgot about him, and even his enemies regarded him as insignificant as an ant, not worthy of any attention.

But after he awakened extraordinary powers and became an "Enlightened One", everything changed.

Vanity successfully completed the Six Rites when he was only in his teens, and it wasn’t just one ceremony, but all six of them.

The masters were astonished beyond measure, calling him the "Child of the Awakened One."

Vanity’s teacher, the grandest of all grandmasters, and "Ku," in particular, believed that he was the most likely candidate in thousands of years to become the new Awakened One.

Next, everyone he knew, including family, friends, and even enemies, changed their attitudes towards him because of his title as the "Child of the Awakened One."

When his relatives saw him, they showed great respect; his friends, upon seeing him, were filled with joy; and his enemies, upon seeing him, were filled with extreme fear, kneeling down and begging for mercy.

The grandmasters also gathered around him, and whenever they mentioned him, they believed he would be the most "enlightened" person in the future.

Vanity’s life underwent a tremendous transformation.

He had never felt such contentment before!

Vanity smoothly embarked on a journey of "enlightenment", continuously ascending to extraordinary levels, and quickly becoming the youngest grandmaster.

However, one day, something happened… Vanity learned about something.

A young boy, only ten years old, had also completed all of the Six Rites, even younger than his former self!

"So, he would be the son of the new Awakened One."

He said so in front of the masters, withered.

"No, teacher, the son of the Awakened One can only be me."

Vanity had never contradicted his teacher before, but at this moment, he raised an objection, which surprised all the masters.

"Letting go of ‘name’ will bring you closer to the Awakened One."

With an expressionless, aging face, he calmly responded.

The other masters nodded as well, hoping that he would no longer identify himself as the "Son of the Awakened One" in the future.

With no warning signs, Vanity suddenly killed a master.

"Teacher, the child of the Awakened One can only be me… You must only acknowledge me."

The masters were all filled with fear and unease. They remained silent for a while, then answered, "You need to let go of ‘attachment to fame’ in order to avoid falling into darkness."

Vanity killed another master, continuing with his previous words.

"I am the child of the Awakened One."

But he still couldn’t gain Kū’s acknowledgment.

Until the masters passed away one by one, only Kū remained, and he never fulfilled Vanity’s desire.

Vanity’s eyes suddenly turned bright red. He stared at his teacher, repeating the words he had just spoken, trembling with fear.

"I am the son of the Awakened One."

Kū shook his head.

"No, you are the sixth Celestial Demon king."

Later, Vanity completely destroyed that civilization and never again considered himself as the son of the Awakened One.

He gazed at Kaluoer in his own shadow and said slowly,

"This is my world, and you shall perish."
