I’m the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Bai Yan, in fact, didn’t go too far. He didn’t need to go outside to check the situation at all.

Although he hadn’t reached the level of an Apocalypse, Bai Yan could borrow the power of a mighty Apocalypse expert. Using his psychic abilities, Bai Yan could directly grasp the state of the entire city.

"It seems that the current emperor of Enos, that guy really doesn’t know about the ancient queen Aphrora, even needing to hide his own descendant?"

Sitting on the rooftop of the inn, Bai Yan looked out into the distance where the people of the capital city were seeking help. He spoke to himself.

He pondered over various clues about the mission.

Refining the Philosopher’s Stone was not an easy task, and every time the Refinery received the raw materials and every time the Philosopher’s Stone was transported away, there were people with hidden identities who came to take charge.

The clues remained unbroken, and Bai Yan could continue his investigation. Those people with hidden identities were unable to truly conceal themselves in the face of his "connection".

He looked at the destroyed city and let out a sigh.

Luckily, under his guidance, no one was harmed in the end.

Bai Yan was flipping through the operator list of "Babel Tower" when he suddenly discovered something interesting.

"Huh."

Bai Yan squinted his eyes and had some good news. The "Heart Barrier" trait of Hidden Azure disappeared.

"You have completely moved on, Kaluoer."

He still remembered the Kaluoer from before, who was truly like a tool, a weapon, with an empty heart, devoid of anything.

Now she has changed.

"Keep on living well."

Bai Yan saw the girl he spent every day with breaking free from her painful past, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

—

In the morning.

It started raining.

The rain was not heavy, but the damp weather still brought more suffering to the people of the imperial city who had lost their homes.

Luckily, after the awakening of the Enos Empire’s Apocalypse heroes, they made a decision and swiftly used a powerful Civilization-level Relic to rebuild the city.

The people wouldn’t be displaced for too long.

Bai Yan stood outside the inn, looking up at the slightly gloomy sky. His expression was calm, and nobody knew what he was thinking.

Kaluoer and Evie, the two sisters who had heart-to-heart conversations all night, walked hand in hand out of the inn.

As soon as they emerged, they all looked towards Viscount Edmond.

Their movements were surprisingly synchronized, finally resembling a true pair of inseparable twin sisters.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Evie shouted. "Standing there like a scarecrow in the rain, are you silly?"

Bai Yan noticed something, Evie had become less polite towards him again, which was a bit strange.

In this journey, she had been mostly polite to herself, but now her attitude had suddenly changed, even a little abruptly.

Bai Yan pondered for a moment. At first, Evie, who was initially unfamiliar, had a very bad attitude towards him, being irritable. But as they became more acquainted, her attitude gradually improved. However, now her attitude seemed to be getting worse again.

It seemed that it was because she had become closer to him than usual.

He replied, "I stand here contemplating. If yesterday we didn’t clear the field beforehand and instead directly started a battle amidst millions of people… today, how many songs of sorrow and cries of despair would we hear?"

Evie paused for a moment and said, "But what you’re thinking didn’t actually happen, right? We did a great job, didn’t we? There were no innocent casualties at all."

Kaluoer simply listened silently, without saying a word.

"These people’s survival today depends on the whims of the strong. Despite their own efforts, they are completely powerless to escape their fates. Many of them had been working hard, struggling to live before today, but they could all be wiped out by a single whim of the strong."

"All of those efforts were completely useless."

Bai Yan sighed and continued, "Even extraordinary beings are the same. In the presence of the gods, the difference between extraordinary beings and ordinary people is not very significant."

"I was thinking that perhaps all our efforts, struggles, and hardships until now are nothing compared to a single thought of the great Outer God."

Evie remained silent for a moment, nodding her head. "I understand what you mean. When facing those magnificent beings, anyone would feel powerless and hopeless."

"Will you give up the fight because of this?"

Evie looked at the man with confusion, while Kaluoer believed that the person she had determined could never be weak and foolish.

"Of course not."

Bai Yan shook his head and said solemnly, "I am just pondering deeply, trying to find a way to overcome this sense of powerlessness… a true method to confront the Outer God."

Evie smiled and said, "Are you crazy? Let the Savior deal with this kind of thing. Just like us, you’re just an ordinary worker. Overthinking won’t do any good!"

However, Kaluoer thought for a moment and nodded expressionlessly, saying, "Go for it."

"Then I will do my best too, hahaha! Our mighty Viscount Edmond, your maid Kaluoer believes in you to defeat the Outer God!"

Evie sneered sarcastically, but Bai Yan didn’t mind and simply smiled.

After a brief discussion, the three of them decided to hit the road.

Bai Yan had already discovered new clues and paths, so they would journey to a small island located at the easternmost part of the Enos continent.

Inside the refinement factory, the Sage Stones obtained by extracting liquefied souls would eventually be sent there, but no one knew what they would be used for.

"This small island, is located in the Silver Sea that separates the Enos continent and the Andochel continent. Well, its position is actually very close to the Ailsa Strait."

"So, right here, it is supposed to be one of the islands in the Blackbird Archipelago."

The island was far away from the New Imperial City, and even the three of them took some time to reach there…

Luckily, the passage of time in this world is completely different from the Noah world, with a difference of about a thousand times. Even if they stay here for one or two months, or even one or two years, it doesn’t matter.

Throughout the journey, Evie took the initiative to strike up conversations with Bai Yan, reminding him a little of the times he spent with Maryse when she was usually the one who initiated the conversation.

However, Maryse and Evie had completely different characteristics.

Hmm, what you said is not correct.

Although there was indeed a difference there!

The differences, of course, were in the way they spoke. Maryse mostly went along with Profligate Bai Yan’s words, while Evie often made sarcastic or mocking remarks. It seemed like she always wanted to make Viscount Bai Yan angry.

But this clearly seemed like her way of seeking attention, as if the Innocent Singer’s tactics in this regard were truly reminiscent of a young child.

Bai Yan mused to himself, "You two sisters have reconciled and even made a promise to share everything… but you never asked me if I agreed."

In reality, Bai Yan wasn’t the kind of person who would instantly fall for a beautiful girl and take her in without considering anything else.

He didn’t have much emotional connection with Evie. If his relationship with Kaluoer were to progress in the future and Evie recklessly intervened and forcefully tried to climb onto the bed, he wouldn’t easily agree to it either.

Probably, possibly, maybe it won’t happen, right?

"…"

And so, Bai Yan wandered in his thoughts throughout the journey, until the three of them finally arrived on the nameless island.

"I’m so tired, I want to take a rest. These past few days of traveling have exhausted me."

Evie plopped down on the sandy beach and glanced ahead.

This was a peculiar island with an abundance of rocks, few trees, and all of them were black, which gave it an exceptionally mysterious atmosphere.

"You’re really weak."

Bai Yan smiled at Evie. She pouted and said, "Hmph, what’s so great about it? You all only became stronger because of the Babel Tower!"

Bai Yan thought to himself, "That’s so true," in his heart.

"I’m a member of the Babel Tower now too. Sooner or later, I’ll also become strong enough. And then I’ll even be able to sit on you and crush you!" she exclaimed angrily.

"Now we can defeat him, as long as my sister and I join forces."

Kaluoer remained expressionless and uttered some nonsensical, irrelevant words, leaving Evie stunned.

Bai Yan was about to speak, then hesitated, back and forth. Finally, he made up his mind and decided not to say anything.

This person lost the trait of "Heart’s Barrier," but the hidden trait of being "mysterious" was always there.

"Strange."

Bai Yan furrowed his brow and scanned the island. Squinting his eyes, he said, "According to the intelligence clues, the accumulated Philosopher’s Stone would eventually be delivered here over the years. However, at this moment, I surprisingly don’t sense any energy fluctuations."

"This doesn’t make sense. The Philosopher’s Stone possesses immense energy, even one might say unimaginable power. It’s impossible to feel nothing at all…"

"There is a sound."

Just then, Kaluoer interrupted Bai Yan’s analysis and turned her head to look around.

Evie also immediately became nervous.

Kaluoer continued, saying, "I heard it, this island is making sounds."

"Uh-huh."

Bai Yan nodded, looking serious as he gazed below the island, his eyebrows raised. "I see… so the island beneath our feet is actually alive," he exclaimed.
