Nighttime.
The weather in Tatsumi City is gradually getting warmer, but winter hasn't completely passed yet. Tatsumi City is located in a warm geographical position, and it has already had its last snowfall.
In the past few days, Tatsumi City has been experiencing cold rain.
The water flooded the streets.
Inside a dark building, men and women wearing different clothes were having a discussion.
There were a total of five people, and all of them were incredibly powerful extraordinary individuals.
There was a short-haired girl in boy's clothing, a bald man with four arms, an old man covered in scales, and a masked woman in a black robe.
Finally, there was a tall man with his arms crossed, his face hidden behind a dragon-patterned iron mask, and his eyes glowing blood-red.
"I never expected to see someone who shouldn't be here in Tatsumi City."
The bald man was wearing a black leather coat, and his entire body had been enhanced with advanced technology. His four arms were special mechanical arms that could extend, and one of his eyes had been completely replaced with a black crystalline eye, giving his face a shadowy appearance.He was from the Noy Military of the Night Union and was the chief scientist under "the Almighty."
Most scientists in Noah's world have a positive view of the Steel Throne, which represents "progress". Some radical scientists are even fanatical followers, and he is one of them.
"I am H1-K7, the chief researcher of Noy Military," the bald man introduced himself first.
Noy Military, one of the three giants of the night, is located in "Giant Hive", a slightly smaller city than the Tree City and the Ring City. It is ruled by the powerful dictator "the Almighty".
The high-ranking members under his control mostly have names in the format of letters plus numbers.
H1-K7 remained expressionless and continued, "The revered White Majesty has issued a divine oracle worldwide. All loyal followers must come to Tatsumi City to lift the extremely special and dreadful seal, and help Him free from the hands of the evil god."
The White Majesty refers to the Steel Throne in the "Rainbows".
The petite girl nodded and replied, "Seems like everyone has the same purpose as me, coming to this city called Tatsumi City from all over World using various means."
This petite girl's name is Yuling. Despite wearing casual clothes for boys, having short hair, and wearing a baseball cap, her beautiful face is not at all hidden.
She comes from Heart City and is a genius who has been studying the "Flow of the Heart" in recent years. She is also the adopted daughter of the ruler of Heart City, King Hao.
Yuling was only fifteen years old, but because of her exceptional talent, she was known for possessing even greater abilities than the current "Flow of the Heart." Even Tao Wu was defeated by her in the competition that year.
She took a deep breath and tightened her fist, her face full of seriousness.
"Yes, it is the power of the Black Abyss Deep Sea that sealed the white majesty... And to make matters worse, even the Imperial Guards and the current leader, the Leaf King, have either joined forces with the Black Abyss Deep Sea or been corrupted by its control... From what I know, the Air Alliance is even secretly hunting down followers of the Steel Throne!"
"The whole world is our enemy, but only we can save it!"
After saying that, she clenched her fist tightly, her face filled with anger.
For Yuling, this was her first time leaving Heart City, and she felt quite excited... After all, she was about to save World right after stepping out of her home.
This sense of mission is truly amazing!
The old man covered in scales was already bent over, his eyes cloudy and heavy with bags.
He wasn't human; rather, he was a very rare descendant of a dragon.
This old dragon descendant isn't a local of the Air Alliance, but comes from a remote aristocrat in the Kingdom of Dark Light.
The old dragon descendant spoke with a low and hoarse voice:
"Cough cough, I'm over 700 years old, and I had already given up on worldly affairs, just waiting to grow old and die in my family. But recently, I also received a divine mandate from His Majesty... If I can fulfill the tasks in the divine mandate, I can obtain eternal life... That is the promise of His Majesty."
"I really want to know, if any of you have also been promised the realization of your wishes?"
"That's right."
H1-K7 smiled and replied, "I want to become more powerful. I need war technology that can kill more people. I haven't made any progress in these years, but the great Majesty can help me get what I want."
After listening, Yuling frowned slightly. She vaguely felt that this H1-K7 or 5k person seemed suspicious and not a good person.
But she didn't flare up, instead she continued to observe.
Just then, the veiled woman standing in the corner spoke slowly. Her voice was ethereal and seemed to not come from the real world, "My master is the Lord of Shadows in the Air Alliance."
"He has clearly expressed his desire to collaborate with Steel Throne and ensure everyone's safety by providing a secure route for the operation, guaranteeing that the Imperial Guards and Night Watcher will not catch any of you."
The masked woman didn't introduce herself; she seemed unwilling to reveal her name.
Lord of Shadows?
Yuling was slightly taken aback.
It seemed that Father had mentioned this name before; it appeared to be a rather mysterious presence.
That's great! We have assistance from others.
According to the prophecy, they were forbidden to inform anyone about this matter. Yuling had originally intended to seek Father's help, but could only sneak out of the house alone.
"Who is the Lord of Shadows?"
H1-K7 furrowed his brow deeply; evidently, he had never heard of this person in the Air Alliance data he was familiar with.
The old dragon descendant squinted his eyes, stayed silent, and smiled slightly.
The masked woman shook her head and continued, "You don't need to know who the Lord of Shadows is, just know one thing, he will help you complete a big task in Tatsumi City."
"The Imperial Guards and the Sword-wielding Troop will never be able to find you."
Her tone was very serious, seemingly very sure.
Yuling's intuition was very strong and he keenly felt that this masked woman had a very strange aura, as if she didn't really exist in the real world.
At this moment, she might just be a projection here?
It's all so strange, these guys... the girl thought to herself.
Is it really okay for the team that is meant to save World to be this complicated?
Finally, everyone looked at the blood-red eyes of the silent dragon-striped iron mask man.
The man with a mask made of iron, decorated like a dragon, finally introduced himself with a deep voice, "You can call me the 'Victor'."
Victor?
This was a title that Yuling had never heard of before, unsure of where this powerful person suddenly came from.
However, he was really strong!
After the dragon-striped iron mask man finished speaking, he remained silent, standing quietly among the five people.
For some reason, Yuling instinctively felt that this tall figure with red eyes and an iron face might be the most powerful presence among the five.
Could he be a super powerful being at the level of the Apocalypse? Her heart skipped a beat.
However, there were only a few exceptional individuals at the Apocalypse level worldwide, so it didn't make sense for one to suddenly appear.
Just then, H1-K7, the bald-headed man, suddenly asked, "So, according to what you said, do you have a way to prevent us from being found by the Imperial Guards and Night Watchers? And what about those people from Babel Tower?"
Yes!
The Babel Tower is very active in Tatsumi City, and it's something that all the extraordinary people know!
As for how powerful the legendary Babel Tower is and how mysterious the Savior is, everyone understands.
Those elusive guys are a threat that is definitely not inferior to the Imperial Guards of the Air Alliance!
So, everyone looked at the masked woman who claimed to be the Lord of Shadows, even the dragon-striped iron mask man looked too.
What no one expected was that the masked woman apologized seriously the next moment:
"I'm very sorry, even we cannot escape the attention of the Babel Tower. Perhaps, they have already found us... I'm afraid the people from the Babel Tower will come here to kill everyone soon."
The faces of the crowd changed dramatically.
Yuling also immediately noticed that, at some point, a black-clothed white-haired woman had appeared among them.
The bad guy is here!
The young girl immediately tightened her fists and became nervous.
"One Apocalypse, four Crown... very tricky." The woman in black clothes with white hair calmly looked at the crowd, the blade in her hand still stuck after hitting.
Despite willingly putting herself in a difficult situation surrounded by many powerful superhumans, she showed no fear.
On the other hand, the five people facing her, except for the stoic man and the masked woman, were very wary.
H1-K7 snorted, its black crystalline eyes emitting a red light as it continuously scanned the suddenly appearing woman, accessing the database for information.
"So, you're the Hound of Babel Tower, whom I've heard of before. You're the companion of 'Mr. X,' right?"
This guy is the Hound of Babel Tower!
Yuling was taken aback.
She knew, of course, that was a powerful extraordinary person who could pause time, with a very strong and exaggerated ability!
Last month, she also watched a video about this female fighter, and at that time she felt in her heart that she couldn't be sure of defeating the opponent.
It is said that each time the person from Babel Tower appears, they become stronger, this person may already be even stronger.
"Can I kill her with just one punch?"
However, Yuling still felt a little strange in her heart.
Why did Babel Tower, who saved World, have to help Black Abyss Deep Sea seal the Steel Throne?
Although the explanation given by the gods in her dream was that Babel Tower was preventing the arrival of the Pupil of Chaos in order to pave the way for their true belief, Black Abyss Deep Sea, Yuling still had an intuitive feeling that something was not right.
Mu Ling's gaze swept over everyone.
Suddenly, her clothes caught fire, a grand phoenix fire, illuminating the night sky and evaporating the rainwater.
The flames gradually transformed into a fiery red feathered cloak, beautiful and perfectly covering the graceful body.
Yuling was momentarily stunned, feeling that the other person was truly beautiful.
The Phoenix's cry resonated within the fiery feathers, Mu Ling's voice reaching everyone's ears.
"Steel Throne is the betrayer in the Rainbow, it has been completely consumed by the Outer God. If you unlock the seal, you will release the Black Abyss Deep Sea from the Outer God, and World will be destroyed."
"Leaving Tatsumi City, my master only gives you one chance."
Knowing that these people were all deceived, Mu Ling didn't immediately attack... The Savior's task was to "eliminate threats," but Mu Ling privately believed that it wasn't necessary to slaughter the "brave warriors risking their lives to save World."
Everyone remained silent, and the Old Dragon Descendant spoke slowly, his voice hoarse:
"Ahem, the Hound of Babel Tower, aren't you a bit naive... Do you want us to stop believing in gods and believe in you?"
"After traveling such a long distance to come here, do you really think I will leave just because of your ramblings?"
After thinking for a while, Yuling couldn't help but shout anxiously, "Your nonsense Savior might be the embodiment of the Outer God Black Abyss Deep Sea. You've all been deceived by that thing! Now, if we just unlock the seal of the Rainbow, maybe we can make up for our mistakes in time!"
(Translated by Gravity Tales 😡)
Just as she finished speaking, she found "the Hound of Babel Tower" staring at her deeply.
It seemed that because she had spoken ill of the "Savior," there was a murderous intent!
Yuling immediately felt a chill all over her body. She had never been in a life-or-death battle before, and the strong murderous intent made her small body tremble involuntarily.
How many people has this guy actually killed...
"So that's how it is."
Mu Ling instantly understood that, for these people, her words could never carry more authority than the Steel Throne.
It's impossible to peacefully persuade them to leave.
So, let's fight.
Although these people were deceived by the Steel Throne, they couldn't let them do whatever they wanted. If they were allowed to release the Black Abyss Deep Sea, the Noah world would be destroyed in an instant.
The Savior decided it was the right idea to immediately eliminate the threat.
Mu Ling nodded lightly, there was no need to say more about good and evil.
"So, please pay the price for your decisions."
She didn't hesitate or back down, even though she might kill good people. She unleashed the Phoenix Fire without any hesitation.
Deep Blue World!
At the moment the Phoenix Fire was released, everyone was frozen in the scene. The Phoenix Fire ruthlessly consumed the entire space and the bodies of the five people were instantly burned by the raging flames.
The Phoenix Fire contained a power that ordinary flames don't possess. It can make flesh and blood regenerate, and it can also destroy everything in World.
Time returned to normal.
"Boom!"
The building trembled as the scorching flames consumed flesh, while the cries and wails echoed endlessly.
Mu Ling tried her best to control the release of her power, so as not to completely destroy the entire building, because there were still innocent ordinary people living here.
"That guy, should have almost finished evacuating people, right?"
Mu Ling furrowed her brows slightly, knowing that her companion "Mysterious Magic" was evacuating everyone from the building.
Soon, she would be able to unleash her attacks without restraint.
The five individuals were all burned by the phoenix flames, and in an instant, their bodies began to decay, turning into charred remains.
But Mu Ling soon realized that something was wrong.
It turned out that the ones burning and wailing in the flames were just one faceless puppet after another, not the people she had known before!
"Stand-in?"
Mu Ling walked forward slowly, dispersing the flames and collecting them in her palm amidst the white mist, like a phoenix descending.
"This... is such a strong demonic aura? Among them, there are actually high-level demon lords!"
As a crime-hunter, Mu Ling froze in shock upon obtaining the faceless doll and sensed a dreadful smell.
She frowned deeply and muttered to herself, "It seems that not all of these people are 'heroes trying to save World'..."
"No matter their intentions or reasons, I must stop these people from breaking the seal and prevent the possible arrival of the Steel Throne."
