The powerful Blank Fire's Mystical Power rendered everyone unable to move, completely paralyzed.
Even Mr. World calmly gazed at the flickering white flame, without any reaction, even when his comrades died before him. He was the strongest member of the Air Alliance.
Mu Ling was extremely worried, but didn't know how to respond.
She had intended to activate Deep Blue World and attack Blank Fire up close, but immediately, an intense and dangerous signal appeared in her mind.
We can't do that!
Approaching it would mean certain death!
Initially, only Mu Ling was awakened by Bai Yan, but shortly after, Alan and Maryse also woke up.
"Close your eyes and don't gaze directly at Blank Fire!" Mu Ling immediately shouted.
Actually, in the dream world, the act of "closing your eyes" is just a "symbol" which represents their effort to resist the power of Blank Fire. They are not really closing their eyes.
But it's also very effective.What should we do?
All three of them "close their eyes" and dare not directly face the mysterious things in the air.
We can't try to destroy it, if we get close, we will definitely be doomed!
Recluse's soul quickly dissolves in the Blank Fire and in an instant, he no longer exists, becoming an unnamed fuel that strengthens it.
The volume of Blank Fire increases by one circle.
If this continues, everyone here will turn into "firewood".
"We need to retreat now, and find a way to leave this place..."
Maryse immediately suggested, "Blank Fire's attraction might have a sequence. The old man who stood at the front was the first to be swallowed up."
Mu Ling and Alan realized that Imperial Guards Recluse was indeed the person closest to Blank Fire, so he was the first to be absorbed.
Although only one person was absorbed by Blank Fire, the number is too small to clearly determine if there is really a pattern. However, Maryse's guess is possible.
"Wait, what are they going to do?" Mu Ling quickly asked.
Maryse was about to say that in the face of a powerful deity, they couldn't control others, but she changed her words when she spoke:
"Let's take care of ourselves first and then worry about others... Mu Ling, we are both weapons belonging to the Savior. To ultimately save World, this life is not just ours alone. Sacrificing it without reason."
Mu Ling was a little persuaded by Maryse's words. After all, she wasn't familiar with the Imperial Guards.
They would save when they could, but sacrificing Maryse and Alan, a member of the Babel Tower... Mu Ling sighed.
"No."
Alan firmly shook his head and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Kessel, the 'emperor' of the Imperial Guards, is still inside Mrs. Tower. If she dies, he will die too... Mr. Kessel has been kind to me and Bai Yan, I cannot give up now. You all go away!"
Bai Yan？
Mu Ling and Maryse were slightly surprised, feeling like they had heard this name somewhere before.
Strange.
Maryse remained silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Mu Ling's hand and anxiously said, "Let's step back then."
She and Alan didn't interact much, they couldn't even be considered friends.
Now, their own lives and Mu Ling's life were the most important.
And they must definitely stop Mr. Profligate from coming here!
"No, Alan is our companion. I absolutely cannot abandon a companion!" Mu Ling resolutely shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of a willingness to sacrifice.
Maryse was so annoyed that she couldn't bear it. Her companions were just big-headed ghosts, at most colleagues, who were forcibly brought together by the Savior from various places and social classes.
"The second victim has appeared!" Alan suddenly shouted.
The second person is Miss "Justice".
This pure-blooded high elf girl, her gaze became blank, her spirit gradually lifted and she flew towards the Blank Fire in the sky.
Maryse fell into silence, her psychic power could perceive what had happened at the scene.
She didn't spend much time with Miss "Justice" North before, but deep down she quite liked this person.
However, it was not enough for her to accompany the other person to their death.
Alan started trying various methods, attempting to save "Justice" who was being drawn towards it, desperately unleashing one spell after another, but to no avail.
"Damn it!"
Faced with the power of the gods, can't I do anything?
Alan felt angry in his heart.
Just then, out of nowhere, a hand appeared and gently grabbed Justice's arm, actually pulling her back from that force of attraction.
Everyone was shocked to see that the one who saved Justice was none other than Mr. "World," the most powerful person among them all!
Not knowing how to break free from the state of confusion, he casually pulled Justice's spirit back.
Just at that moment, the force of attraction suddenly intensified!
Justice floated in mid-air, looking dazed. She wasn't directly sucked in, but Mr. "World" couldn't fully pull her back either.
"Do I have to absorb someone?" he calmly mumbled to himself.
So, Mr. "World" decisively switched places with Justice.
Justice was thrown back by him.
And the "World" itself was slowly being pulled towards Blank Fire!
(Translated by Gravity Tales 😓)
"As long as we can break free from control, we can use the method of entering dreams to jump into other dreams."
He spoke slowly, and continued, "You can leave first."
The "World" turned to look at the beautiful woman standing beside him, Shi Nianyu, who was captivated by Blank Fire. He said slowly, "Shi Nianyu is still here, I can't leave."
At this moment, Alan suddenly realized that the strongest person in the Air Alliance was actually very human, not the terrifying monster that many people described.
"Mr. World, can you... tell us your name?"
The "World" remained silent for a while, then finally nodded gently and revealed his name.
"My name is... Xia."
"And, I didn't stay to get killed!"
World, no, Mr. Xia finished speaking, a faint black aura appeared on his body.
Mu Ling furrowed her brow, instinctively feeling a great sense of danger, she had to quickly distance herself from Mr. Xia!
Otherwise, unimaginable horrors could occur!
"So what exactly is this power?"
Maryse didn't care about that, she grabbed Mu Ling and shouted to Alan, "What are you waiting for? Use your magic to get everyone out of here!"
Just when things were critical, another person suddenly appeared by their side.
Maryse's anxious expression immediately turned into joy, but in an instant, it transformed into thick fear and unease.
"What are you doing here!"
She suddenly yelled "Profligate" and in horror, she found that he was standing closest to the Blank Fire!
"Don't go over there!"
Bai Yan stood calmly in front of the Blank Fire, his spirit irresistibly drawn towards it, like a moth to a flame.
Maryse rushed over, but she was completely unable to stop him.
However, Bai Yan himself was not at all panicked.
He had already decrypted the intelligence in advance through the power of the "Connection" and the "game," analyzing the conditions for the Blank Fire to devour souls... It can only devour souls weaker than itself.
The Blank Fire, after all, is just one of the powers of the Steel Throne, not the actual arrival of a deity, and is definitely not an enemy that is completely unsolvable at this stage!
Bai Yan knew that his soul was definitely not weaker than the Steel Throne because the Scarlet Moon, the Queen who drew power from his soul, possessed true divinity!
The Scourge of War·Moonlight Polarization.
He reached out his hand and pulled out moonlight from thin air, turning it into a sword capable of cutting through everything.
Cut it!
The moonlight in Bai Yan's hand turned into a line of light, soaring through the vast white sky towards the ground.
In the next moment, the ever elusive Blank Fire became frozen and motionless.
Then, it was cut in half.
"Ah! Did it work?" Maryse couldn't help but shout, filled with joy.
"Not yet." Mr. Xia's tone was calm as he stared at Bai Yan.
Suddenly, from the divided Blank Fire, a deep voice belonging to a deity came from the Steel Throne.
[Who are you?]
His questions echoed through everyone's hearts like thunder, and except for Bai Yan, no one felt dizzy and even had the urge to worship and kneel.
Shi Nianyu and North, who were still not awake, knelt down and bowed repeatedly in confusion.
Bai Yan simply raised Moonlight Polarization in his hand again.
[I am Profligate, from the Babel Tower.]
The power of crimson blood gathered in his hand, and he swung the pristine moonlight towards the bisected Blank Fire once again.
The white flames willingly surged towards him, but they couldn't consume Bai Yan's soul and could only absorb a large amount of spiritual energy.
Ordinary Crown level beings would be instantly drained of life.
However, Bai Yan's spiritual power remained unaffected even as it was continuously absorbed.
Infinite!
His spiritual power never runs out!
Mr. Xia, Mu Ling, Maryse, and Alan all looked in shock at this scene. Blank Fire was so terrifying, but it had no effect on Mr. Profligate.
["This soul... is so special... so strange... full of mystery..."]
["What exactly are you?"]
The voice of Steel Throne seemed to have a realization. Through Blank Fire, it had already noticed the differences and uniqueness in Bai Yan's soul.
Under the baptism of bright moonlight, the flames gradually distorted, weakening time after time, until they became smaller and smaller...
Finally, its endurance also reached its limit.
No matter how terrifying, it's ultimately just a force of Steel Throne, not a deity itself.
The threat of Blank Fire ends here.
[This is not the end, I will definitely return... When that time comes, it will be your ultimate demise!]
The Steel Throne's tone was filled with immense anger, even giving off a sensation capable of destroying the heavens and earth.
His voice lingered in the white world for a long time.
But everyone present who was still conscious let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, it has come to an end.
In the next moment, the entire dream began to shatter.
Inside the Babel Tower, Bai Yan, with closed eyes, woke up on the throne.
The first thing he did was look at his phone and check the rewards he received after completing the new mission.
At the same time, Bai Yan opened his palm, revealing a small white flame with a trace of divinity.
Got it.
This is the wreckage of "Blank Fire".
