Chapter 291
Glofield has launched an attack.
A terrifying force struck towards everyone!
Even though Glofield had been greatly weakened, as a Chosen for Eternity, his power was still overwhelmingly strong.
Especially at this very moment, it had transformed into a new form as the demonic lord, unleashing a terrifying power that surpassed all expectations.
The black and red lightning seemed as if it would destroy all the members of the Babel Tower present, leaving them utterly devastated!
"Face your sins!"
A discordant sound suddenly rang out.
Finally, the power of the Dust of the Past came into play within Mu Ling's being.
She awakened the lofty inheritance that had once saved the world.
Mu Ling opened her eyes, and her purple-red pupils suddenly turned silver-white. Her expression remained pure, proud, and immaculate.In this moment, she was both Mu Ling and her own ancestor. Yet, simultaneously, she was neither Mu Ling nor her own ancestor!
But, all in all, she was a hunter who hunted down evil.
She reached out her hand from the shadows and drew out a pitch-black Sword of Justice. Leaping into the air, she swung the sword towards the dark crimson lightning in the sky.
At that moment, Mu Ling's demeanor had changed significantly compared to before.
She possessed an incredible sense of composure, as if she had experienced countless wars and faced numerous harrowing challenges like a legendary warrior.
This pitch-black Sword of Justice also possessed the power to vanquish innumerable creatures and supernatural beings!
The pitch-black sword clashed with the dark crimson lightning!
In just a moment, Mu Ling was sent flying by a devastating force, and the pitch-black Sword of Justice in her hand instantly shattered.
Even after being awakened by the Dust of the Past, the power difference between the two remained remarkably vast.
But she managed to land on the ground calmly, without sustaining any harm from the "Crimson Terminus," evading the potentially fatal force with her skills of darkness and shadow.
[O mighty human... Your power is still unable to match mine,]
The blow failed to kill the enemy. Glofield, a towering figure, took a deep breath, preparing to launch another attack.
Deep Blue World.
In the next moment, Mu Ling had appeared behind it, wielding her sword. The newly forged Shadow Sword shattered once again in her hand, only to regenerate anew.
Glofield turned slowly and gazed at the human woman before him.
[Freezing time... The power of the King of Deep Blue.]
The attack was ineffective!
Bai Yan furrowed his brow. During the frozen five seconds just now, Mu Ling had launched numerous attacks on Glofield, but they had no real effect whatsoever.
At that moment, due to Maryse's psychic power, Mu Ling's voice reached the depths of everyone's hearts. It was pure, noble, and untouched by worldly troubles.
[Within Glofield's body existed two Civilization-level relics.]
[One of them is Hodell's Heart, which, through the sacrifice of its memories, grants immunity to special damages and effects of spiritual, psychic, and cursed nature.]
[One of them is the Stone of Bardel, which, by sacrificing ten years of its own lifespan, can remove any damage just inflicted.]
Burning memories, sacrificing lifespan...
After hearing this news, everyone felt an unbelievable sensation.
How many memories can a ancient demon lord, who has lived for countless millennia, burn? How much lifespan can it sacrifice?
It was undoubtedly nearly immortal!
Bai Yan also fell silent, finally able to understand why members of the Apocalypse Legion believed from the depths of their hearts that Glofield was an invincible and terrifying being.
Because, its immense power was unquestionable.
Glofield's voice resounded once again.
[Your resistance is worthy of praise.]
[However, it was meaningless.]
Even among the extraordinary beings of the same level in Apocalypse, it had a remarkably clear advantage in combat power. Perhaps, Glofield had been unbeatable from the very beginning.
However...
The Savior, Bai Yan, still had a third trump card up his sleeve.
--
Platinum Zone, somewhere underground.
Although the underground palace in the same area had completely collapsed and the city was constantly shaken by earthquakes, this large reinforced chamber, protected by spells, remained intact instead of crumbling, and was in perfect condition.
Inside the large chamber, there was an extremely intricate circular ritual formation composed of thirty-three thousand three hundred spells.
In the center of the enormous formation, young Count Gallard sat here serenely. His handsome face with closed eyes and flowing golden mane, resembling a lion's, added to his charm.
Deep within his heart, there welled up a cold and ruthless demeanor, yet it was the sole voice of hope for the world.
[Let us begin, Gallard.]
Afterward, Count Gallard also heard the urging of Mr. Profligate.
Hmm.
The time has come.
Perhaps due to the presence of Non-core Operators, Count Gallard's connections with others became distorted and confused. However, his connection with the Savior of Babel Tower remained unchanged.
He had been here all along, preparing... to complete the ritual of summoning the divine.
In the past, the Savior chose Gallard, using the Food Card from the Entertainment Card, to meet and converse with a true deity, representing Babel Tower in negotiations.
The deal, in fact, had been reached.
Food.
This true "Symbolic God" is willing to permanently consume its power and release its projection at a specific moment to aid Babel Tower.
And the condition was that from then on, it would no longer provide Babel Tower with free "delicious meals".
So, Gallard obtained an extremely intricate and ancient ritual from the hands of the God of Food.
The summoning ritual of the divine beings.
He muttered some words, slowly picked up a kitchen knife from in front of him, and calmly pressed it against his chest.
Finally, Gallard completed the ritual incantation.
"Enjoy it."
"My life, my strength, my memories..."
"Take all of these ingredients and enjoy them to your heart's content!"
Finally, Count Gallard plunged the blade deeply.
Luckily being able to personally accomplish everything, Gallard smiled. After obtaining the ritual procedure, he voluntarily requested to take on the role of "ingredients".
The "ingredients" of this ancient ritual require a strong will, a resilient past, and exceptional vitality.
And most importantly, the sacrifice must willingly become the "ingredient" in order to truly complete the ritual.
Finding a determined and strong individual who is willing to offer themselves as an "ingredient" is actually quite challenging.
The Savior of the Babel Tower.
He agreed to Gallard's request.
In the past, Mr. Profligate had visited. He gazed at the prepared ancient ritual and informed Gallard that if certain unexpected events prevented the ritual from being carried out... there was a backup plan in place.
The soul power he had already unleashed planted a "suggestion" in Gallard's heart.
At that time, he would be made to "willingly" take action, although it was uncertain whether this willingness would still have an effect.
Gallard believed that the insurance Profligate had imposed was excellent, and he agreed to it appreciatively. However, he also hoped that he wouldn't betray humanity due to certain "unexpected" circumstances.
He would submit to the Savior not because of the Babel Tower.
But for the sake of everyone in this world!
Our family, still a family of knights!
"Next, it was my turn to sacrifice... my fellow companions of the Babel Tower..."
"Save the world!"
--
The Haiming District.
Deep Blue World!
Bai Yan voluntarily paused time and looked at the ongoing battlefield.
Mu Ling gathered her Shadow Blades once again and deeply pierced into Glofield's towering body.
But those injuries would soon be "healed" again.
The Fairy Tale Demon King · Scarlet Moon, combined her Crimson Blood Power and magical energy, forming a long dragon that struck Glofield with a black and red lightning bolt.
But it couldn't stop what was destined to happen next-the imminent explosion.
The Dragon Singer · Maryse, summoned a majestic emerald dragon that stretched tens of meters long. It had already been shattered in the aftermath of the black and red lightning, its flesh frozen in mid-air.
Alan summoned the Fire that Burns Everything once again, and the pitch-black flames were spreading towards Glofield's location.
He didn't become the "White Mourner" or the "Child of the Sea," because those two possibilities would have been even less compatible with Glofield's nature.
Amy has already undergone a transformation into a mechanical angel of battle within the realm of new possibilities. She unleashes a barrage of projectiles from the "wings" on her back.
The slime transformed into an enormous Arcane Behemoth, standing hundreds of meters tall. It swung its massive tentacles, roared, and unleashed hundreds of lightning bolts and ice spikes capable of destroying the land.
It transformed its own fear into the element of anger!
Everyone stood frozen in place.
Bai Yan approached Glofield in silence, plunging the Blade of Annihilation and Gorgeous Moonshine deep into him, inflicting multiple significant injuries in a matter of seconds.
But it seemed to possess an immortal body!
Its own attacks still could not pose a substantial threat to it!
In the next moment, the world returned to normal.
[Is this the power of all of you?]
[Crimson...]
[Vanish!]
An endless burst of black and red light radiated from Glofield's body, sending everyone flying. Bai Yan, at the forefront, quickly turned into a slime at that very moment to avoid harm.
At the same time, the black and red lightning burst in the air, causing the ground to collapse and the space to warp. Thankfully, everyone was knocked several hundred meters or even farther away, avoiding being struck by the deadly black and red lightning.
Bai Yan, transformed into a slime, rose up from the ruins and regrouped.
He gasped in astonishment.
Tatsumi City, specifically the Haiming District, had vanished in the recent explosion. The entire area had been completely destroyed by the terrifying aftermath of the blast.
Bai Yan took a deep breath and immediately glanced at the hints for the Babel Tower game.
Luckily, no one died. At this point, everyone in the Babel Tower had a way to protect themselves.
He saw the Scarlet Moon wobbling in the nearby ruins, struggling to climb up. One of her arms was missing.
She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.
"I once promised that even if I died, I would never use this again, but now there is no other choice. I cannot let this world be destroyed... because the people I care about are still alive here."
The Scarlet Moon appeared to be convincing herself.
"What are you saying?"
Bai Yan always felt like she was up to something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. However, he had a familiar sense of this situation.
The Scarlet Moon gazed at him for a while, slowly approached, and said:
"In fact, I dislike the blood of males."
Suddenly, she forcefully grabbed Bai Yan who was beside her, sinking her teeth into his neck.
"Neigh!"
The sudden pain made Bai Yan gasp, while the Scarlet Moon's disappeared arm instantly regrew.
"This is the punishment for betraying me!"
Bai Yan furrowed his brows slightly, enduring the intense pain emanating from his body, allowing the Scarlet Moon to extract blood as much as possible.
So that's how it is, she was about to enter a state of frenzy, her most powerful state.
Now, there really was no other choice. However, this last resort may not necessarily be effective.
The Scarlet Moon, who was gulping down fresh blood, parted her lips, and the tempting blood trickled down from her tongue.
In her eyes, there was already a hint of intoxication.
The Scarlet Moon said with a puzzled expression, "I never expected it to taste quite delicious... You are the only male whose blood I have ever tasted. Hmm, it somehow feels even better than the taste of a virgin."
Bai Yan could only smile and replied, "Perhaps it's because I value exercise and take care of my body."
In reality, he was deep in thought.
The information that came from the little slime indicated that the ceremony over there had already begun.
Why hasn't the projection of 'Food' arrived yet?
He suddenly looked up at the sky, and the self-sacrificing Heart of Radiance had completely repaired the golden ribbon that sealed the horizon!
Could it be that this world has been sealed by the Heart of Radiance...
This prevented the projection of "Food" from entering.
The tall and ancient demon lord, Glofield, slowly soared into the sky. Like a demonic deity, he remained unscathed, with black and red lightning gathering in his hand.
This time, the black and red lightning was incredibly colossal, constantly changing and expanding into a massive black and red sphere.
The unimaginable sense of oppression made Bai Yan, who was gazing at this scene, feel difficulty in even breathing. His inspiration was desperately foreshadowing the arrival of death.
It seemed to be gathering its strength, as if it wanted to turn the entire city into nothingness!
