Chapter 412
The Babel Tower was holding a new meeting.
"So, our new enemy is one of the many 'Rainbows', a divine being symbolizing the concept of 'progress'... that ancient steel throne?"
Old Mike furrowed his brow, wearing an expression as if the Savior was just joking.
Steel Throne!
One of the six Rainbows!
The true deity!
He is one of the oldest Rainbows, always symbolizing "progress" in various myths, consistently driving the development of Noah's world civilization, a great being beyond the reach of ordinary people and ordinary super beinges!
If it wasn't for inside the Babel Tower, they wouldn't even dare to call it by its name.
Old Mike asked again:
"Are you all crazy? I know that the Babel Tower has accomplished great feats, completely shaking World of Noah, but do we really think we can challenge the Rainbow with just us ordinary people?"However, Old Mike soon discovered that only the recently joined "Dead Insane Warrior" shared his thoughts.
Both of them thought this was too outrageous.
To be honest, Red Moon felt completely confused and overwhelmed after arriving at the Babel Tower for the meeting. The amount of information was just too much for her to handle.
She also felt that directly confronting the "Rainbows" was an exaggerated thing to do!
But the other members of the Babel Tower, Nightsaber, Psychic Dancer, Queen of the Scarlet Moon, Mysterious Magic, Cybertyrant, that sword, that slime, Sacred Heart's Chosen, Fist of Duel, Hidden Azure... All of the members of the Babel Tower mentioned above not only agreed with the Savior's resolution, but also were not afraid at all!
Went mad, all of them went mad... Old Mike was mentally and physically exhausted. He truly longed for the peaceful retirement life he had enjoyed for all these years, far away from any danger and madness.
Now, he constantly found himself stepping into the most dangerous events in World!
Bai Yan looked at the group of Core Operators below, and in his heart, he felt a subtle sensation. Unbeknownst to him, the number of Core Operators in the Babel Tower had already become so abundant.
They reached a staggering number of twelve "people", counting the "World Savior" as the thirteenth person. And in the future, the number of Core Operators would even be more abundant.
Although the number of lower-level personnel was still not sufficient, the Babel Tower was soon becoming a grand establishment.
Even in certain "Xiao" organizations or certain "Ten Blades", the number of core villains was not as abundant as this.
In fact, Bai Yan's attention towards each Core Operator was declining. The reason was simple - because there were more and more people.
He still had some level of concern for each Core Operator, but favoring some over others was inevitable. Especially the Core Operators he cared about and the ones he treated normally were separated.
Besides, during this period, Core Operators also began to recruit lower-level Non-core Operators. However, Bai Yan had very little overlap with this level of Operators.
The next event, "Blank Fire," of the "Babel Tower" will take place not in Tatsumi City but in the Air Alliance.
Its occurrence took place in the legendary Chord City.
Chord City, a nearly entirely independent city within the Air Alliance, had existed long before the formation of the Air Alliance itself. It could even openly reject commands issued by the "City of the Highest" without breaking the law.
The one who created this magnificent city of enchantment was none other than the later-ascended "Anomalous Star," the mightiest sorcerer in the history of the Noah world.
None other.
Bai Yan pondered for a moment, carefully counting the people he would need for this journey. Soon, he made the decision to set off.
Hmm.
This time, up to six Core Operators could be deployed, with enough spots available. Let's have the "World Savior" take up one position as well.
--
Chord City.
This city floated in the sky.
The power that has kept it suspended in the sky for a thousand years is a rather casual spell called "Anomalous Star".
Chord City had existed for a thousand years, undoubtedly the oldest independent city within the Air Alliance territory, yet it was far from lacking a sense of "progress".
Because, the Anomalous Star was a trailblazer, a divine being of magic who particularly encouraged innovation.
Inside Chord City, many things were composed and aided by magic, with the greatest characteristic being the "revitalization of inanimate objects". But beware...
In this city, extraordinary powers are public, and just like most Flow Users in Heart City, in Chord City, as the city of magic, the majority of extraordinary individuals are undoubtedly spellcasters.
The spellcasters, in the system of extraordinary individuals, undoubtedly held a very special presence.
Actually, although magic is not exclusive to Noah's world, it is very rare and far from being mainstream in the diverse universe's system of extraordinary powers.
Compared to the innate talents possessed by all extraordinary individuals, the advantage of magic lies in its powerful diversity, but it also has many disadvantages.
On one hand, it requires a significant amount of mental energy to use, on the other hand, its effects are far from being strong enough among peers of the same level of extraordinary abilities. Lastly, most importantly... magic almost always needs to be prepared before it can be cast, unlike innate powers that come naturally, like "breathing".
Before reaching the "Apocalypse" and possessing the "Radiance," most extraordinary individuals were mere mortals in terms of physicality. Even if a Crown awakens, they could be easily taken by surprise and killed... Magic that requires preparation is at a disadvantage.
That is why there came to be a unique profession called "spellcaster", instead of every extraordinary individual having to learn magic alongside developing their innate powers.
Indigo Avenue.
It is said that the Anomalous Star is the one who walks upon this path, ascending to godhood step by step.
With each step he took, extraordinary phenomena would manifest in the heavens and the earth.
Until he took twelve consecutive steps, World lost its color, and the Anomalous Star vanished into thin air. The number of "Rainbows" also changed from five to six.
Then, a spell from the gods lifted the city into the sky for a thousand years.
This street is located in the heart of Chord City, with modern commercial shops lining both sides. People come and go, with a bustling flow of vehicles, making it the busiest place in Chord City.
On the street, all kinds of vehicles were driving themselves, ensuring there were no collisions. The doors of the shops would automatically open, and they would even make sounds to welcome people inside.
They were all enchanted and brought to life by a spell.
"Mmm, my first time in Chord City and it feels pretty good."
Maryse took out a cellphone, smiled, and took a selfie in the middle of the street. The smile was innocent, and the beauty filter was maxed out.
"We are not here to play."
Mu Ling shook her head on the side, giving a gentle reminder.
"You should, a little bit, tone it down... By the way, should we stay here a little longer?"
On the other side, Alan retorted, "Actually, it's okay to have a little fun. Honestly, I am very interested in all the spells and magical items sold on this street."
Maryse nodded and said, "Yes, yes, actually I am gathering information, don't you think, Grandmaster?"
Bai Yan remained silent, merely smiling.
The people on the street couldn't help but look at them, mainly because... both the men and women were incredibly good-looking, especially the women who were simply stunning.
The Scarlet Moon stood silently in the center of the crowd.
She felt that the street was too well-lit, with the sun shining brightly overhead, making her quite uncomfortable.
(Translated by Gravity Tales ?)
At her level of bloodline, the sunlight naturally didn't cause any harm, but it still made her very annoyed.
How should I put it?
It felt as if her whole body was immersed in mud, causing great discomfort.
Bai Yan quickly realized this and smiled, saying, "Let's find a place to rest first and then thoroughly investigate which believer this city belongs to... The sun is so intense here, it's almost melting me."
The Scarlet Moon silently glanced at the "food reserves," wondering why he too was afraid of the sun.
"No! I haven't finished exploring yet!" Maryse shook her head repeatedly, pouted her lips, looking so sad and on the verge of tears.
"Then you can cry."
Bai Yan smiled and looked at her, saying, "If you can really cry, then I'll do everything you say... But if you can't cry, then forget about it."
Maryse stood still for a moment, then tried again and realized that she couldn't cry.
"Mu Ling, how about you punch me twice?"
Mu Ling didn't bother to say a word. She pulled the little puppy closer and got ready to give a knee bump.
Maryse got scared and immediately ran away.
"Let's go, let's go," said Bai Yan, shaking his head with a smile on his face.
Actually, there were six people on this journey to Chord City, but at this moment, only five of them were strolling here... Kaluoer, who goes by the name "Hidden Azure," was not here. Instead, she went to another place to gather information.
Before long, they found a place to stay.
The name of the hotel was "Triumph."
The 'Triumph' stood as one of the top hotels on Indigo Avenue, with a modern decor that also carried a touch of enchantment, showcasing extraordinary powers in various ways.
For example, there were magnificent floating lights in the sky, gliding and shimmering. There were also lifelike portraits that seemed almost real, each with a different expression. Even the carpets, cups, and stairs were brought to life through enchantment, creating a fusion of modernity like a blend of the castle from Beauty and the Beast and the schools in Harry Potter.
A talking rabbit, dressed in a suit, hopped over and stood steadily in front of the group. He took off his black top hat, bowing respectfully.
It said in a deep and mellow voice, "Hello, everyone! I am the exclusive host of 'Triumph'. The rooms you all booked in advance have been prepared and are ready for you. You are welcome to check in at any time."
An orc.
"Um."
Bai Yan nodded and smiled, saying, "You've worked hard."
"Not difficult, not difficult. I hope all of you are comfortable, it is my privilege."
The rabbit in the suit couldn't dare to be negligent at all. The backgrounds of the people in front of him were mysterious, unclear, but undoubtedly very influential.
Because the phone that helped them book the rooms came from... the secretary of the Tatsumi City alliance leader, and the people who booked the rooms with them were none other than the famous Imperial Guards!
Thinking of this, the rabbit in the suit looked at the mysterious people in front of him and couldn't help but become even more awestruck.
"This time, we are going to work with the Imperial Guards, and I actually feel really good about it. Finally, I won't have to be a 'double agent' anymore like before. I've always had a lot of pressure."
Alan breathed a sigh of relief. During this time, his mood had also improved quite a bit.
Because of what happened before, the Leaf King, the highest level of the Air Alliance, became even closer to the Babel Tower.
And so, this Blank Fire event became the first cooperation between both sides.
They all had to stop the corrupted Steel Throne from descending.
"I think it's better for you to keep your identity hidden," Bai Yan said with a smile.
"Of course, that's what the Respected Savior said," Alan said, feeling a bit embarrassed. In fact, ever since he arrived in this city, he had been disguising himself with magic, and he hadn't taken it off until now.
Keeping his identity hidden was ultimately for the best.
"Wow, you guys are here too!"
Just then, Bai Yan and his companions heard a strange voice. And then, they saw a group of very eye-catching individuals stepping out of the elevator. They all looked curiously in their direction.
"Oh my goodness, it's the Imperial Guards of the king!" Maryse couldn't help but remark to herself, "Speaking of which, what exactly is this kind of gathering now? Is it some kind of social event?"
