Chapter 559:
After the Babel Tower meeting ended, the witch went alone to a tall building in Tatsumi City.
She smiled as she looked down upon the entire city.
This city called Tatsumi City was so unique, gathering the past of so many legendary characters.
Even after thousands of years have passed, Merete Chambers would never forget the experiences she had here.
Regarding her question, Bai Yan didn’t hide anything anymore.
At this point, it no longer mattered.
And even if she didn’t say it herself, she probably already guessed it.
[I am the Savior of the Babel Tower.]Merete Chambers let out a sigh.
The smile on her face finally faded, and the emotions in her eyes were instead filled with a sense of nostalgia.
[Although I had already thought about this possibility, confirming it was truly… fascinating. So, you are the ultimate mastermind behind it all, the most terrifying hidden figure.]
Merete Chambers shook her head helplessly, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness.
[I was so surprised, Bai Yan… If I had tried to attack you, who was still the Night Watcher back then, would you have defeated me on the spot? Then, poor me would have been locked up and begged for mercy in a cage, crying desperately.]
[No, that’s not how it happened.]
Bai Yan chuckled deep inside the witch’s heart.
The witch seemed lost in thought.
Bai Yan remained silent. In truth, he was still very weak at that time, completely unable to contend with the mysterious Merete Chambers.
If she had forcefully captured him back then, she would have experienced a terrible imprisonment.
And she would definitely have a thousand terrible ways to force him to surrender the Babel Tower.
Fortunately, he still had the upper hand, keeping the dreadful witch under control, rather than the other way around.
Merete Chambers suddenly asked,
[They need to prepare to relocate the Noah people. What should we do now?]
Bai Yan pondered for a moment, answering his own "steed":
["We have just enough time, Merete Chambers. Let’s now go and fulfill your long-held wish… Without that power, we might not necessarily be a match for ‘Solitary’."]
[So, go to the Enos civilization.]
Became a god.
Indeed, it has always been my long-standing aspiration.
This day finally arrived.
Merete Chambers took a deep breath.
But for some reason, as this moment truly arrived, her heart didn’t feel particularly excited. Instead, a sense of relief washed over her.
"Can I become a deity?"
Perhaps, those attachments gradually faded away during these thousands of years of waiting.
Or perhaps, it solidified into a different form of pure pursuit.
"Let’s go."
She no longer communicated through telepathy, but instead, she opened her mouth.
Vaguely, Bai Yan always felt that Merete Chambers’ fondness towards him had grown significantly compared to years ago, but he didn’t understand why.
He didn’t know how much his initial choice – to sacrifice himself instead of commanding Mu Ling to sacrifice – had affected Merete Chambers.
It could be said that it somewhat shook her worldview.
Of course, it was only a certain degree of impact, and Merete Chambers’ fundamental beliefs wouldn’t change so easily.
She wouldn’t, and neither would Bai Yan.
They, who consider themselves strong, will not easily be swayed by others and change themselves.
Following one’s own heart and whims is the smallest unit of strength.
[Before leaving, there was one more thing to do.]
Something very important.
They arrived at the wilderness beyond Tatsumi City.
That was a vast expanse of white desolate land, uninhabited by anyone.
On the snowy white ground, thousands of snowflakes drifted in the air.
They fell from the sky like delicate goose feathers, in a place rarely visited by humans, where no signs of life could be seen.
A massive ice crystal stood suspended in mid-air.
This place is sealed with a terrifying "monster".
But few people knew that she was once a saint of the Babel Tower.
Even for a short period of time, this "monster" was the mightiest being in the Babel Tower.
Queen of the Scarlet Moon.
The blood left behind by Bai Yan, should have been enough for the Scarlet Moon to draw upon for many years. However, due to facing endless battles, she had to consume the blood several times over.
Her blood ran out, and before the eyes of everyone, the Scarlet Moon stepped into madness.
In the midst of the fiercest battle, she transformed into a terrifying mother beast, fighting, roaring, and devouring.
Although she turned the tide of the battle, the Scarlet Moon didn’t regain her strength.
The once proud demeanor was no more, leaving only deep thirst behind.
To prevent the Scarlet Moon from causing further harm, Alan and the others joined forces to put her into a deep sleep, sealing this proud vampire monarch in this place.
[I am very sorry.]
Bai Yan always felt that it was his own responsibility.
The Scarlet Moon, trapped in ice, was incredibly beautiful and serene.
She was like a flame trapped in pristine ice, only waiting for the right moment to bloom again – fiery, dazzling, captivating the hearts and minds of all who beheld her.
Merete Chambers teased, "Another little lover of yours… How are you going to save her?"
[For the moment, I am unable to help. I have lost my body and my spirit, and I cannot create the blood that she needs.]
[I simply wanted to catch a glimpse of her.]
Bai Yan’s heart couldn’t calm down at all.
The Scarlet Moon’s countless touches, hugs, those vivid memories, scents, and pain… they couldn’t be easily forgotten.
She was someone he could never be without.
And he, in fact, didn’t want to leave her either… After all, he was a greedy and shameless fellow.
Whether in games or reality, once someone or something has come into his possession, he never wants to give them up!
["Let’s go, Merete Chambers," she said with a smile.]
["Alright, my master," she replied.]
Merete Chambers smiled and didn’t turn away. Instead, she took out the black book and delicately flipped open one of its pages.
Above, the story of the "Enos civilization" was recounted.
The page soared into the air, transforming into a shimmering golden halo, which was the gateway to the Enos civilization.
Merete Chambers took slow steps and walked into the night sky.
Bai Yan also looked through her eyes and gazed at the night sky behind the halo of light. Immediately, she felt the presence that belonged to the young girl.
She followed the path she had chosen.
Self-sacrifice!
Bai Yan gazed at the night sky.
This feeling is so magical. Using someone else’s body to gaze at the sky, to gaze at the darkness, and the little twinkling lights in the darkness.
His heart suddenly became calm.
He even felt a resonance emanating from deep within.
[Mu Ling, you have done very well.]
["Thank you," she replied.]
Merete Chambers smiled and said, "It’s time to leave this world… In the end, are you really not going to explain your situation to them?"
["No, it’s not time yet," she replied.]
In truth, Bai Yan couldn’t say for certain if he was resisting or simply too exhausted, or perhaps it was because he didn’t want the people of Babel Tower to see his current self.
He hoped to maintain a magnificent image as the Savior.
That was the faith held steadfastly in the hearts of many Noahs and many Babel Tower people, which should not be easily shattered.
Hmm.
Let the wonderful illusion continue to exist.
"Maybe, that would be nice."
The witch nodded and smiled as she left Noah under the night sky.
