I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization-Chapter 449:
Chapter 449:
At this moment, inside the Giant Hive, in Bai Yan’s mind, there was no recollection of the previous cycle.
"Um, indeed, memories can be lost… Only the Almighty herself can retain memories. From what I recall, even the ‘retrograde’ technique could affect divine beings."
If it wasn’t for the first playthrough of Babel Tower, Bai Yan would have been tremendously astonished by the time regression he had already experienced multiple times.
But now, there was merely a feeling of "it had finally arrived."
He pondered for a moment and decided to proceed directly according to the plan that had been predetermined.
"Wait for me, please."
The three girls hadn’t grasped what Bai Yan had just said when the incarnation had already returned to the Babel Tower.
In an instant, all the memories synchronized.
The true form of Bai Yan, always silently seated on the throne, gazed upon everything that unfolded, including the occurrences of going back in time.
She smiled and muttered to herself, "Such an interesting power, and the way it’s presented is great. I really like the boss design of ‘the Almighty,’ hehe."
Even the time-traveling technology of the annulus civilization could only affect the singular universe of the "Noah World," with no impact on Bai Yan inside the Babel Tower.
"As long as my true self remains inside Babel Tower without leaving, I will not be affected in any way. This makes things much easier… If one is not aware of being traced back, then it becomes a very serious problem."
Bai Yan smiled and squinted his eyes, pondering on how to completely solve the Almighty.
Time reversal, it truly is a powerful force.
It was even enough to be described as "unbelievable".
In the eyes of others, the Almighty possessed an incredibly powerful ability to foresee the future. Except for Bai Yan, the Rainbows, and the Nine Trees System, nobody in Noah’s world knew what he truly relied on.
Because of his experience in the first playthrough of "Babel Tower," Bai Yan actually knew the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of the Almighty’s power very well in his heart.
The advantage is that it can be activated in an instant, and it can be used an unlimited number of times. Its range of retrospective coverage spans the entire universe, and there isn’t even the slightest bit of depletion.
Disadvantage…
This is the almost flawless ability from the annulus!
If we had to mention a drawback, it would be that this ability is ultimately an active one. It cannot be triggered passively and requires the Almighty to consciously initiate it.
Bai Yan thought about this and let out a sigh.
"In a certain sense, it was unbelievably strong. Indeed, this is the power of advanced civilization. Although it is just the tip of the iceberg, it is already quite challenging."
They needed some necessary means and strategies to completely defeat the Almighty.
In reality, due to his experience in the first playthrough of "Babel Tower," Bai Yan already had several ideas in his mind.
Afterward, he returned to the Giant Hive, inside Partridge’s home.
Mu Ling and the other two had already arrived here, and he heard the sound of running water in the bathroom… Mu Ling, who always loved taking baths, was already bathing.
"Suddenly, he came back without anyone knowing."
Partridge gazed at Bai Yan in the room, feeling that this person indeed had great abilities.
She suddenly smiled and asked, "Mr. Profligate, have you heard the sound of water? Hehe, are you interested in your bathing companion?"
"Um, I’m interested," Bai Yan smiled and nodded.
Because his answer was truly honest, it actually left Partridge stunned.
"Maybe she can hear it," Partridge couldn’t help but remind.
Bai Yan smiled but didn’t say anything.
Just at that moment, a sudden change occurred.
In the city, the sound of the radio echoed, repeatedly playing the neutral voice that represented the Almighty.
"Warning! The evil members of the Babel Tower have invaded the Giant Hive! Please, citizens, stay calm! The Noy Military Council will take care of it!"
"The kind Almighty requested the members of Babel Tower to leave the Giant Hive immediately, otherwise the Noy Military Council will indiscriminately attack your comrades!"
The radio was very loud, enveloping the entire hive. Everyone who lived there could hear it.
"Companions?"
Mu Ling, who was taking a bath in the bathroom, was stunned. "Do we still have any companions in this city, our Babel Tower?"
"Is it referring to the rebellious army under Elene’s command?"
But in the next moment, there was a sudden explosion on a nearby street!
"Boom!"
The explosion was incredibly devastating, caused by some kind of ritualistic long-range attack, and fierce flames rose from the ground.
Bai Yan quickly assessed the casualties and furrowed his brows. freewēbnoveℓ.com
So that’s how it was.
In the previous cycle, she had revealed a piece of information to the Almighty.
Inside the Babel Tower, there were many idealists.
The Almighty herself wasn’t sure if this information was true, but she was willing to give it a try. So, she decided to use the lives of ordinary people to blackmail the Babel Tower.
If Bai Yan and the others don’t leave the Giant Hive, the Almighty will unleash indiscriminate slaughter inside the Giant Hive.
To be honest, this seemed a bit absurd.
Using their own people as hostages, they threatened the people of Babel Tower.
"Um, it must be the power of the Almighty. He now knows that we are a few people here, otherwise, he wouldn’t have directly bombed such a close place."
Bai Yan analyzed calmly, because of the information from the previous cycle, the Almighty knew that they were near the Cloning Facility.
Mu Ling quickly changed her clothes in the frozen world and hurriedly ran out.
"I just realized that the Almighty is using the lives of regular people to control us!"
She took a deep breath and continued, "We mustn’t let the Almighty have her way! Just now, many innocent people were killed! In the future, more people will fall victim to the Almighty’s cruel hands!"
It would be best to swiftly defeat the Almighty!
"But how should I do it…" Mu Ling pondered, feeling a little lost.
Destroying the cloning facility only temporarily weakened the Almighty by destroying her physical backups, but it didn’t truly kill her directly.
They didn’t even know the exact whereabouts of the Almighty herself, so swiftly defeating her was simply unrealistic.
Elene’s expression turned grim, her hands tightly clenched. It was clear that she couldn’t bear to see innocent lives continue to be harmed.
"I understand,"
Bai Yan nodded gently and smiled at Mu Ling, suddenly asking, "Between the Savior’s command and the lives of the innocent, which one is more important to you?"
"The Savior will not abandon the innocent," Mu Ling answered without hesitation.
Bai Yan paused for a moment, then a smile once again graced his face.
Okay.
Since you trust me so much.
Well, I can’t let the image of myself collapse in your heart either, Mu Ling.
In the next moment, Bai Yan had made a decision.
He nodded and said, "Hmm, the Savior has just given the order for us to temporarily evacuate from the Giant Hive."
Mu Ling was startled for a moment.
"No, you can’t," Elene exclaimed anxiously as she immediately began writing on the paper.
"Even if there are sacrifices, we must not retreat, otherwise we will never succeed!!!" The dark-haired girl’s face turned red with urgency.
"What you said makes sense, I understand," Bai Yan said calmly. "No need to use so many exclamation marks, Elene. You need to understand one thing, that is, the orders of the Savior are absolute."
He actually had a plan, but he didn’t want to reveal it.
"The commands of the Savior are absolute," Mu Ling took a deep breath and looked at Elene.
"Let’s go."
"I refuse to leave!" Elene’s gaze was determined as she wrote again, "We must destroy the cloning center!!!!!"
"If we leave now, its protection will become even more secure!"
"If we don’t destroy the cloning facility, we won’t have any chance to defeat the Almighty!!!"
"One cannot change anything by writing five exclamation marks in a row. Let’s go," Bai Yan clapped his hands. Elene, who was still attempting to resist, was instantly subjected to Psychic Domination, her eyes became vacant.
Partridge opened her beak, wanting to speak, but she also knew that this decision had nothing to do with her.
So in the end, she didn’t say anything.
In the next moment, a door leading to the center of the Babel Tower magically swung open.
Bai Yan waved his hand and effortlessly controlled Partridge, allowing the two of them to enter the center of the Babel Tower.
Unwilling as she was, Elene could only obediently follow the orders at this moment. The immense power of the mind would reduce the dignity and freedom of those with weaker souls.
Outside the window, the flames continued to burn fiercely, and in a fleeting moment, Mu Ling vanished without a trace.
After a while, the flames went out.
Mu Ling returned, her expression filled with mixed emotions.
"Sorry…"
Bai Yan spoke calmly, "Cheer up, Mu Ling. For the people in this world, death is not the end."
"I understand."
Before Mu Ling’s departure, she pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Mr. Profligate… I am still too weak at the moment. If only I could be as powerful as you, or even more powerful."
"I want to do better," she clenched her hands tightly.
"You will become stronger, Mu Ling."
Bai Yan answered the girl earnestly, gazing into her red eyes.
"I believe in you."
—
The Almighty quickly obtained accurate information.
The people of Babel Tower should have left.
The leader of the Rebellion, Elene, was also taken away by them, but the clone production center was not destroyed.
The ending was a great victory for the Almighty!
Of course, things weren’t that simple.
Bai Yan decided to temporarily retreat for two reasons. Firstly, he didn’t want innocent people to get hurt. Secondly, he had a secret mission — he had to make sure the Almighty remained unaware of the looming danger.
Once the cautious and careful Almighty sensed that she might lose, she would immediately activate Noah’s World, traveling back in time!
Defeating this guy seemed incredibly difficult.
What the Babel Tower had to do this time was actually… It had to quickly deal with the powerful upper-ranked Apocalypse without them realizing it.
This was actually much more difficult than simply taking down an upper-ranked Apocalypse.
At the same time, the Almighty also had numerous backup bodies. All of the backups had to be eliminated at the exact same time, otherwise, she would not be completely killed.
"So, you see, the challenge of this activity is really difficult and also very interesting."
Inside the Babel Tower, Bai Yan sat on the throne, squinting his eyes.
Facing the situation before him, not only did he not feel a headache, but instead, he became excited.
"The only downside is that… I’ve not only done this activity and boss level once, but not even for the second or third time."
