I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 424

After the dust settled, a young girl with black clothes and white hair had already stood amidst the ruins, her expression solemn and serious.

It was Mu Ling.

"Fortunately..." she murmured to herself, gripping the handle of her blade tightly.

In fact, the Savior had already exposed the identities of the Babel Tower members' families and friends in advance. They were all transferred and sent to the secret compartment in Night Union, The Ring City, where they would be taken care of by "Cybertyrant" and a group of Omnic.

Sure enough, the attack had truly arrived.

Mu Ling had just received a message from the Savior during the meeting. She learned that her family's residence had been destroyed, leaving her shocked and furious. At this moment, she was teleported back to her family's residence, only to find utter devastation before her eyes.

"I cannot forgive..." her voice grew solemn.

This was the place where she had grown up since she was little.

It was the place where generation after generation of Mu family members, crime-hunters, grew up, trained, and were laid to rest.

Now, the home was gone.

They would never come back again.

Mu Ling took a deep breath, feeling the surge of determination, and couldn't help but let out a loud roar.

"Come!"

--

In a special space.

"Let me go."

The Dragon-Striped Iron Mask Man crossed his arms, his expression calm as he prepared for the upcoming battle.

The masked woman hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "That wouldn't be a good idea. If you go down from here, you might be immediately attacked by the people at Babel Tower."

"I don't mind."

The Dragon-Striped Iron Mask Man shook his head, his voice calm:

"Let them go together."

A few people looked at each other, and Yuling thought that this person was powerful, but might be too overconfident. Babel Tower was not someone to be trifled with.

Finally, the masked woman nodded and smiled, saying, "You are extremely powerful, you are amazing... However, I still need to remind you that it only takes me two seconds to bring you back from there."

"Okay."

The dragon-striped iron mask man spoke only one word, his voice deep.

The masked woman stopped speaking and quietly began manipulating the space around her.

So, the shimmering halo that connected the two spaces gradually grew larger. The dragon-striped iron mask man took a step forward from this hidden space and came face to face with Mu Ling at the Mu family's protective barrier.

Mu Ling immediately asked,

"Is it you?"

The dragon-striped iron mask man crossed his arms across his chest and calmly replied,

"It's me."

Mu Ling didn't say anything more. At this point, words of persuasion were pointless. These people had already revealed their true intentions, and she herself needed to fully make up her mind.

NightFall!

In an instant, she activated the power coursing through her veins, causing the sky to darken. Her senses sharpened and her healing ability greatly enhanced.

The dragon-striped iron mask man, who called himself the "Victor," simply watched.

He still crossed his arms and remained silent.

As if victory was within reach.

In the next moment, Mu Ling unleashed her incredibly practical ability that had defeated countless formidable opponents in the past.

Deep Blue World.

The entire world transformed into a deep blue hue under the influence of this power, making both people and objects completely motionless at that moment.

Mu Ling ventured through the frozen world, and in the blink of an eye, she swung her newly acquired weapon, the "Flame of Light", with great force.

The divinely enhanced weapon, capable of easily shattering the innate "aura" of the Apocalypse's mighty beings, granted Mu Ling, not yet a full-fledged Apocalypse, the potential to challenge its formidable adversaries.

She swung down with all her might!

Mu Ling furrowed her brows slightly, as she realized that her attack had no tangible impact.

The blade made of radiant light passed through the dragon-striped iron mask man, leaving no trace of harm, as if both sides were not even within the same "realm."

The dragon-striped iron mask man gazed at Mu Ling, completely still, but seemed to sense the stagnation of time.

What kind of power is this?

In the magical world, where extraordinary powers abound, Mu Ling has encountered numerous formidable foes. However, she never once believed that she would be defeated by her opponents.

No matter how powerful extraordinary powers may be, there should always be a solution, and true invincibility doesn't exist in the real sense of the word...

Time returned to normal.

"Bang!"

Mu Ling's eyes froze as she felt an immense external force striking her body, completely overpowering her!

What is happening?

Even though she didn't feel his attacking move, why did she suddenly fall victim to it?

"What kind of attack speed is this?" she wondered aloud.

"Zero frames?" she whispered, filled with curiosity.

A tremendous burst of power erupted!

"Bang!"

Mu Ling's body was sent flying at high speed, in an instant, transforming into a tiny speck in the sky.

A bloody and flesh-mangled hole opened up in her abdomen, frighteningly grotesque. Yet, in just a few breaths' time, it rapidly began to heal, fully restored.

"What's going on?"

Mu Ling in the sky pondered amidst the pain.

What is the enemy's power?

She saw that person still standing there.

If NightFall is not activated in advance, relying solely on the restorative power of Blood of Darkness, it would be impossible to quickly recover and would undoubtedly affect the battle.

He might die.

Suddenly, the ground cracked open underfoot, and the dragon-striped iron mask man soared into the air crazily, resembling a bullet as he swiftly charged towards Mu Ling.

The girl saw a fist approaching her face!

They switched.

In the next moment, she had already hidden herself in the dimension of darkness.

"Bam!"

In the dark dimension, Mu Ling was once again sent flying.

Can you still keep fighting?

Mu Ling, who had been severely injured once again, quickly returned to the dimension of reality.

"Your healing ability is very strong."

The dragon-striped iron mask man praised Mu Ling and noticed that her flesh was continuously regenerating.

"So, let me see how long you can endure!"

Immediately, he launched a fierce and relentless attack on Mu Ling.

Deep Blue World!

Mu Ling's eyes widened as time seemed to freeze around her. Swiftly dodging the incoming attack, she swung the shining flames in her hand towards her opponent.

Once again, it was ineffective.

Then, she quickly distanced herself by hundreds of meters, ensuring that after time returned to normal, the opponent would not be able to strike her again.

"Are they far enough away? Should everything be okay now?"

Time returned to normal.

Bang, bang, bang!

A powerful force infiltrated her body, and in an unbelievable moment, Mu Ling was instantly thrown out, with shattered flesh and blood colliding with the barrier, causing severe injuries to her.

"Why? I didn't even get hit, why am I still taking damage?"

Mu Ling couldn't understand, her expression distant and bewildered.

Every strike from her opponent couldn't be avoided, while her own counterattacks were completely ineffective. In an instant, she was hit to the point of almost losing consciousness, her body nearing its healing limit, on the verge of complete collapse.

(Translated by Gravity Tales 😞)

Is this person really invincible?

"I can't hold on any longer."

Suddenly, Mu Ling's clothes underwent a transformation, flames appeared, and then transformed into a blazing fire, instantly raising the temperature in the surrounding air to resemble a fiery inferno.

Under Bai Yan's control, she embraced new possibilities!

The body of a phoenix.

Her almost shattered body completely healed with a single breath, and Mu Ling became a phoenix-like maiden, soaring through the sky, her flaming wings covering the heavens.

She waved her arms.

The flames instantly flooded the barrier like an ocean, the intense heat capable of annihilating countless living beings in an instant. However, Mu Ling witnessed an even more astonishing scene.

The dragon-striped iron mask man continued to move freely within the flames, his body showing no trace of injury.

What on earth is the matter with this guy?

Mu Ling once again felt incredulous, but still believed in that statement: there can't possibly be invincible transcendents in World; no matter how powerful extraordinary abilities are, there must always be a solution.

"To figure out why he could ignore the attacks."

Even though she thought so, Mu Ling found herself unable to decipher her opponent's attacks for the time being.

However, she would not be defeated just like that.

The Dragon-Striped Iron Mask Man is very powerful, but he has a fatal flaw. His attacks may seem strong, but they cannot kill Mu Ling in her Phoenix Body state.

Although an ordinary Crown level transcendental being, the Dragon-Striped Iron Mask Man could probably be defeated with just a few punches. However, in the realm of the Apocalypse, this level of attack power is not considered very strong.

For Mu Ling, who possessed the potential of the Phoenix Body, it was completely within her capacity to withstand it.

The dragon-striped iron mask man remained calm and composed.

"I don't believe that your ability to recover is infinite."

Mu Ling also had her own worries that she couldn't express. Her current recovery ability was indeed close to being indestructible, but getting beaten up unilaterally was still a very unpleasant thing.

Just then, a surge of black flames suddenly soared into the sky.

So sudden and unexpected.

It posed a terrifying threat once again!

Not only did it burn away the phoenix flames, but it also scorched the right hand of the dragon-striped iron mask man, instantly causing a searing injury. This was the first time he had been wounded since the beginning of the battle.

"Huh?"

"The Fire that Burns Everything!"

The dragon-striped iron mask man slightly paused, then became startled, clearly recognizing the source of this power.

The person who unleashed the Fire that Burns Everything was not Alan, but Profligate Bai Yan, who appeared at some point without anyone noticing.

He stood amidst the sea of fire, squinting as he looked ahead at the dragon-striped iron mask man.

Watching Mu Ling being hit like this, Bai Yan couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Bai Yan found himself becoming more and more soft-hearted. He fell into deep thought... Long ago, he used to be completely indifferent to them being beaten during training.

"Pull me away."

The dragon-striped iron mask man gazed at Bai Yan in the distance for a while before suddenly speaking, indicating his desire to leave.

"This is no longer a duel."

He spoke calmly, using his other hand to sever his own right wrist, and the palm of his hand, burning with black flames, fell to the ground.

"Do you want to leave like this?"

Bai Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, indicating that he had no intention of letting the other person go so easily. His tone carried a clear sense of intent to harm.

Time, stand still!

In a deep blue frozen world, he shaped numerous Fires that Burned Everything, manipulating black flames to completely envelop the body of the dragon-striped iron mask man.

Time resumed its motion.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

The black flames had completely surrounded the formidable individual!

Under the cover of the Fire that Burns Everything, the dragon-striped iron mask man let out a loud cry of pain, but he didn't perish immediately. Instead, a green light emanated from his body, sustaining his life.

"I will definitely kill you!"

His roar was filled with murderous intent and cruelty.

Then, the dragon-striped iron mask man, from a considerable distance, prepared to throw a punch directly at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan remained calm with a composed expression.

In the next moment, a glowing halo appeared, connecting the space.

The other person disappeared, never to be seen again.

"He ran away."

Bai Yan gently shook his head and let out a sigh.

He sure ran fast, even though he was shouting loudly.

He walked towards the recently recovered Mu Ling, showing no fear of the surrounding flames, and looked at her with a caring expression.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, in this form I'm almost immortal."

Mu Ling shook her head and looked at Bai Yan, she said earnestly, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Profligate."

"You're welcome," he replied.

Bai Yan's smile was subtle as he said, "Hmm, helping our own kind is the right thing to do."

--

"That person was quite tricky."

In the mysterious realm of the masked lady, the dragon-striped iron mask man, whose body was once engulfed in black flames and on the brink of death, now sat upon a chair, restored to full health.

Even the clothes on his body had been completely restored.

But the dragon-striped iron mask man clearly wasn't feeling well, his voice weighed down with seriousness.

"Even I, to kill him, would have to pay a price," the dragon-striped iron mask man continued.

He had only briefly exchanged blows with his opponent, but he had already come to a certain realization.

The person had not yet arrived at Apocalypse.

Since that's the case, one should not reveal their opponent.

The bald scientist nodded and said, "I've actually heard of this person before. It seems he has also appeared in the Night Union, with the codename 'Profligate'. They say he is the strongest member ever to appear in the Babel Tower."

The expression on everyone's faces turned serious.

Profligate.

This was indeed a title that had become world-famous since the beginning of this year.

The mightiest member of the Babel Tower!

The Babel Tower, a mysterious organization, became more and more well-known after the Doomsday Crisis. And as the undisputed strongest member, Profligate naturally caught the attention of various intelligence agencies.

There were many rumors about him...

Regardless of which path, they all pointed to one thing... The Profligate was an immensely powerful and mysteriously elusive being, with abilities that might even be considered "supernatural".

So far, he has displayed an abundance of mighty mystical powers, which, moreover, seem to correspond to the abilities of the other members of the Babel Tower.

So, naturally, people guessed that Profligate's ability type was all-encompassing!

"A new prophecy!"

Just then, the old Dragon Descendant suddenly exclaimed with overwhelming excitement.

Yuling, the bald scientist, the dragon-striped iron mask man, and the masked woman all perceived the prophecy that appeared in their minds.

That was a voice that resonated directly in their hearts.

Although it didn't sound like human language, everyone could understand the meaning of it directly.

The old descendant of the dragon muttered to himself, "So that's how it is, indeed, indeed. It seems finding the Black Eagle Seal is an impossible task for us... His Majesty has personally conveyed his command."

"In that case, there is a clue to follow," Yuling murmured silently, her face displaying a hint of unease.

The Steel Throne conveyed a prophecy.

At this very moment, all the extraordinary beings summoned in Tatsumi City, had come to realize... how to find the location of the Black Eagle Seal.

As it turns out, many years ago, after the Black Eagle Seal descended, only one person who was closest to the black eagle knew its exact location.

And this person's soul has been continuously reincarnated, and even to this day, it remains within Tatsumi City.

As long as they find him, and forcefully analyze his soul with extraordinary power, they will be able to extract the exact location where the Black Eagle Seal was placed all those years ago.

As for who exactly the reincarnated informant is...

In the prophecy, the Steel Throne directly provided a list of over a thousand individuals who had suspected soul fluctuations, and each of these people resided in Tatsumi City.

The informant was among them.

The bald scientist smiled and said, "So, what we have to do next is a contest of elimination."

The old descendant of dragons nodded and said, "Within these over a thousand souls, only one is the grand prize winner, while the rest are all 'thank you for participating'... Well, but when we hunt them, we will also be hunted by members of the Babel Tower."

"Wait a moment!"

Yuling suddenly exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Are we going to kill over a thousand innocent people?"

The masked woman smiled gently and said, "This is to save World, it's a necessary sacrifice, don't you want World to be saved? If it's destroyed, it won't just be over a thousand people who will die, but countless others as well."

"But..."

Yuling was completely lost in perplexity, facing a fierce moral dilemma. For a young girl who had just stepped out of her home, it was really difficult to make a decision.

But apart from her, the other four extraordinary individuals appeared calm, each pondering how to be the first to find the "Grand Prize."

The masked woman clapped her hands, revealing a halo that led to Tatsumi City.

"Next, let's begin the hunting performance."
