Outside the magic item shop, the sky had turned completely dark.
Chord City and Heart City are different. Although they both belong to cities with open extraordinary powers, Chord City has stricter regulations due to past incidents involving these powers.
At night, ordinary people can't freely go outside in Chord City. The curfew is strict. If law enforcement catches any suspicious extraordinary individuals, they can even be killed on the spot.
Many people hope to establish special regulations to restrict extraordinary individuals.
However, this is impossible... because all the upper class in Chord City are extraordinary individuals. The curfew protects their interests, and they would never agree to restrictions on themselves.
Of course, all these rules have no restrictions or limits on the Imperial Guards and the people of Babel Tower.
They are too powerful.
"Why were you in the dream just now?"
After everyone gradually woke up, the first thing Mr. Xia said was to question the confused "Justice" North.
"I, I don't know..."North sat on the chair, just waking up, she rubbed her forehead and shook her head.
"Justice" expressed that she didn't know anything at all and suddenly lost consciousness.
Mr. Xia remained silent for a while, shaking his head gently.
It seems that the influence of Blank Fire forcibly pulled North into a dream.
White Lion frowned and stood aside, unaffected and completely unaware of what had happened.
Just at that moment, Recluse's body fell down, lifeless.
Ah!
North was shocked and exclaimed in surprise.
Mr. Xia had no expression on his face.
Shi Nianyu and the White Lion were momentarily stunned, then understood what had happened.
"I can't believe it..." Shi Nianyu sighed, never expecting Recluse to die here.
He was a very old Imperial Guardsman, highly skilled in various ceremonies and spells. He usually appeared mysterious and indifferent towards others, but he was still part of the Imperial Guards.
Unless one is an immortal deity, once the soul turns into nothingness, there is no way to be resurrected.
Mu Ling, Alan, Maryse, and "Profligate" Bai Yan were also awake at the moment.
They silently watched this scene, not participating or speaking much.
Mourning is the right of friends.
North cried when their companion died, but Mr. Xia, Shi Nianyu, and White Lion remained silent.
Bai Yan was thinking inside, this activity was strange, the time in the game and reality were exactly the same, there was no way to save in "ironman mode"...
In the past, this situation only happened during the Doomsday Crisis.
Why?
Steel Throne is a true deity, but definitely not an Outer God. Could it be that because it has been excessively corrupted by the power of the Outer Gods, it triggered the "ironman mode" in the "Babel Tower" that cannot be saved?
Vaguely, even without any clear evidence, Bai Yan felt that Steel Throne should be a more challenging enemy than the Savior of Dark Light.
Moreover, he also realized one thing.
The level of enemies he will encounter in the future may become higher, which means there will be more "ironman mode" occurrences. He must prepare himself mentally.
If it was Mu Ling, Maryse, or Alan who had just died, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.
Speaking of it, just now in the dream, everyone gathered near Blank Fire, maybe it was a symbol, representing the resistance ability of each person at a spiritual level. Recluse and justice are the weakest in this aspect.
This resistance ability is likely to depend on the soul plane.
"Thank you for saving us just now."
Mr. Xia looked at "Profligate" Bai Yan, with a calm tone.
"You defeated Blank Fire, that belongs to the power of the Steel Throne."
His eyes were profound, extremely sharp, as if he wanted to see through the true self hidden in Bai Yan.
It was not until now that Shi Nianyu and North realized who was the person who saved everyone and defeated Blank Fire in the dream.
It wasn't him, it was this person!
Bai Yan just smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. After all, we are allies who decided to cooperate together. This is what I should do, right?"
This is the truth, he had to act no matter what at that time.
"This is gratitude."
Mr. Xia calmly pulled out something from nothingness and gave it to Bai Yan nearby.
North paused slightly, realizing the preciousness of what Mr. Xia gave.
Bai Yan didn't hesitate at all and directly accepted it after using the power of "Connection" to analyze it.
It was a golden giant egg belonging to the animal kingdom, shaped like a rugby ball, full of vitality.
Judging from the information Bai Yan obtained from "Connection," there was a high probability that the golden egg was a genuine dragon species!
Taking care of a dragon seems like a good idea too, right?
Although the power of "Dragon Singer" Maryse can summon dragons, what she actually summons are Western dragons... while this is an Eastern dragon egg, completely different.
Real dragon, ah!
"This matter is done, let's disperse!"
White Lion's tone was very bad, obviously feeling uncomfortable because of Recluse's situation, wanting to find a place to drink or mourn.
Mu Ling sighed and nodded gently.
"I'm sorry... we are not strong enough..."
Maryse shook her head and said, "There's nothing to apologize for, Nightsaber. You've been doing well... can you stop burdening yourself all the time?"
Mu Ling didn't say anything.
In the end, everyone didn't have much more to say and simply went their separate ways, the short-lived alliance dissolved.
After the dispersal, Bai Yan wanted to leave directly but got caught.
The person who caught him was the Scarlet Moon.
"Come with me."
Queen the Scarlet Moon was very bossy and without saying a word, she grabbed Profligate Bai Yan's arm and wanted to go somewhere else.
Maryse, with a serious expression, watched this scene without saying anything.
Her gaze was sharper than words!
Bai Yan felt really embarrassed for a moment, even though he had a thick skin, he couldn't handle it, but in the end, he didn't refuse the Scarlet Moon.
Because this guy really could lose control and go crazy.
Sure enough, he was dragged to suck blood for a long time again.
"I feel, it's even more intense... What have you been through?" the Scarlet Moon took a deep breath, lowered her head, and felt completely relieved.
"Nothing."
Bai Yan shook his head and thought carefully. He felt that it might be related to fragments of memories he had encountered.
Now, he always felt that the "Level" leading to "Apocalypse" was loosening.
Perhaps it wouldn't take long before he could reach the "Apocalypse" level.
It's just missing a trigger.
But Bai Yan himself couldn't say when the key trigger would come.
"Let's forget about it."
The Scarlet Moon shook her head. She wasn't the type to nag. Of course, if she really wanted to know a secret, she would beat it out of the other person.
"Goodbye... Oh, and don't think you can hide from me. I'll definitely see you again within three days."
After speaking, the extremely dominant the Scarlet Moon disappeared.
She left in a very cool way, but when she was sucking blood, she was really thirsty.
Bai Yan silently recalled everything that happened this time and finally took out two things.
"The wreckage of the Blank Fire, dragon egg, and two quite substantial 'additional gains'."
——
Inside the Babel Tower.
Bai Yan still sat on the throne, calmly looking at the remnants of the Blank Fire in front of him, as well as the golden dragon egg that he didn't know when it would hatch.
He took out "Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used," and enchanted the remnants of the Blank Fire onto Mu Ling's "Imperial Light Execution," successfully evolving it once again.
So, the "Imperial Light Execution" became a thing of the past.
With the blessing of Blank Fire, a new weapon was born.
This is a slender blade that constantly shines with platinum light and flames. Each strike can directly damage the soul, and the blade can almost infinitely extend.
"Flame of Light"
It really can extend a lot. After analyzing the specific data, Bai Yan was a bit surprised.
The biggest feature of this brand new blade is that it can lengthen, even extending the flame blade to a distance of tens of kilometers.
Perhaps, it can have an unexpected and unprepared effect in battle.
And then there's how to deal with the dragon egg.
"Eating it directly is a good choice. If made into egg soup, it can be divided into several portions, but the effect might be diluted."
Bai Yan joked to himself.
Dragon eggs are very nutritious, ordinary people cannot eat them, but extraordinary people who eat them will directly enhance their overall resistance. Bai Yan read about this in the book at the Demon Hunt Agency.
But of course, he wouldn't just eat it like that.
Because a real Eastern dragon is an extremely powerful fighter, and eating dragon eggs would actually be a waste.
The problem is how to hatch it... a super difficult task.
"It seems that it takes a hundred years for this dragon egg to hatch, and even longer for it to grow into a reliable fighter... It's currently meaningless."
Bai Yan sighed, unable to figure out the dragon egg for now, so he could only put it away.
(Translated by Gravity Tales 😏)
But his excitement was still there.
"Next is the summoning turn."
The gains from this "Blank Fire" event were indeed significant, a large number of points were enough to make Bai Yan excited and even do a forty consecutive draw.
What is the concept of a forty-draw?
It means that you will definitely get a lot of items, and the chances of getting them are high. The odds of "Babel Tower" have always been good.
Bai Yan didn't draw from the "Fate" pool, but instead started with a ten-draw from "Different Dimensions".
"Ten-draw!"
In the next moment, Babel Tower's pool responded to the lucky draw and immediately delivered the items.
Bai Yan became even more excited.
A new skin!
This time, the skin he drew was none other than the last possibility that Maryse had previously consumed for "seven days".
Psychic Dancer·Daughter of Willpower.
"It's just you, you're finally here!"
From then on, all the possibilities of Psychic Dancer were gathered, and Maryse was able to reach Apocalypse and become the second demi-god transcendent in the Babel Tower.
"These days, even dogs can become demi-gods... What was that saying again, Crown is not as good as a dog."
Bai Yan muttered to himself, shaking his head lightly.
At this moment, Maryse couldn't imagine that she had already completed her mission and returned home to rest, but she was still going to be dissed by this guy called "Profligate."
——
Just as Maryse had returned to her home in Tatsumi City, she collapsed onto the bed and felt a very obvious sense of something being wrong.
The surrounding air seemed to be gradually becoming thick, like it had turned into liquid. Slowly, she realized that it wasn't the air that was changing, but her own senses.
"What's happening?"
The puppy was very surprised and a familiar cold voice came to mind.
[Psychic Dancer]
[Looking for your true self]
[Open your real path]
[Begin...]
[Looking for your true self]
Wait, what's going on? Oh, something's not right, it feels strange.
Maryse stood still, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The next moment, everything went black in front of her eyes.
In a daze, Maryse's thoughts shifted to another place, a strangely dark space with very little sense of reality.
This is definitely not real.
Maryse realized this and felt a vague fear in the face of an unknown environment.
It was a peculiar space with no sense of direction or familiar objects, and even time didn't seem to pass.
Wow!
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is! Hahaha!"
This place is a special space known as the "Apocalypse," belonging to the special dimension of ultimate will!
Maryse quickly remembered where she was.
Excited, she became!
Grandpa is going to arrive at Apocalypse too?
Even though Maryse had been thinking about this for a while, ever since the Scarlet Moon arrived at Apocalypse, she knew that she would eventually become a demigod under the Babel Tower.
But when true happiness arrived, she was actually shocked.
Because it still felt too unreal.
The extraordinary beings at the Crown level were fine, but the ones at the Apocalypse level were a whole new level. They were the top experts in the entire Noah world, and every country valued them greatly.
Even after arriving at Apocalypse, they could basically have the ability to leave the current world and travel across multiple universes.
Besides this, there were many other changes...
Demigod!
The term "demigod" used by the people of Noah to describe the extraordinary beings at the Apocalypse level was actually very accurate.
Maryse was excited and nervous at the same time, feeling both anxious and unsettled.
Just then, unique pictures appeared all around her.
Those were all the past experiences that Maryse had gone through.
As an "outsider," Maryse had to rewatch her entire 28 years of life in this dimension, and her emotions gradually started stirring up.
Every time she saw her father Reno, her feelings became complicated.
"Actually, everyone is selfish, I am well aware of that..." Maryse murmured to herself.
"But that's not a reason."
Finally, everything about the past was played out, and several new possibilities emerged in front of Maryse.
Those were all possibilities for the future.
And she had to choose which path to take in the future.
Maryse took a deep breath, feeling her heart growing heavy. Unlike the Scarlet Moon, who could choose any path as the queen, Maryse decided to choose only one route.
Water World，Moon Dancer，Daughter of Willpower，Dragon Singer，Fairy Tale Witch.
Choose one out of five.
