Chapter 459:
"Is this reasonable?"
Night Union,the Ring City.
Old Mike had just shot and killed the interrogated member of the Siskin organization. He squinted his eyes and stared at the short video playing on his glasses.
He had a look of disbelief on his face, like an elderly person on the subway looking at a cellphone.
The occurrence and conclusion of this major event, he had never been informed by the other people of Babel Tower.
The viral video that spread online depicted the epic battle between the Almighty and Babel Tower, culminating in the Queen of the Scarlet Moon ultimately defeating the Almighty.
"Babel Tower can actually defeat the Almighty and occupy the Giant Hive… It achieved all this solely with the help of the handsome men and beautiful women at the party, as well as that mysterious person hiding in the shadows."
"Well, it’s clear to see, the Almighty is nothing but a heap of dung."
The story goes, deep down inside, Old Mike actually had a pretty good idea of the immense power of Babel Tower.
He knew that it was a mysterious organization that he had absolutely no possibility of resisting."But no matter what, these guys were able to do this thing, and it was really unbelievable."
Old Mike furrowed his brow deeply, feeling that retirement was getting further and further away from him. Without a doubt, he had jumped into a huge whirlpool.
Since the Babel Tower could occupy the Giant Hive, it meant that the Babel Tower could actually pose a threat to both the Ring City and the Tree City.
"These troublemaking guys, that so-called Savior, will inevitably cause even bigger things…"
Not only did Old Mike witness the defeat of the Almighty, but others did too.
At this very moment, in the Ring City, many people were seeing that astonishing video through various channels.
"You all watch this video, it is a battle of super beinges."
"It looks so powerful, they must all be top-notch super beinges. This setting doesn’t seem like it’s in the Ring City…"
"Is that woman from the Babel Tower?"
Most people didn’t recognize the true form of the Almighty.
They also didn’t quite understand what this video meant.
However, even though only a few people, there were indeed those who understood its meaning.
The Almighty, who controlled Noy’s military, was defeated!
In the Night Union, one of the three major cities, the Giant Hive, starting from today, will become the possession of the Babel Tower!
World’s structure was rewritten!
At the very beginning, the reports of the Babel Tower would only be broadcasted in Tatsumi City.
But little did they know, from that moment onward…
The reports about them would appear on a global scale!

The Ring City.
Two hundred levels.
Here, there is a bright sky, it is the highest level of the Ring City.
On the two hundred levels, only two types of people live.
The first kind are the board members of the Rock Morgan group and their families. The second kind are semi-mechanical androids, whose sole purpose is to serve the former.
The ground of the two hundred levels is covered with green vegetation and flowers. Hollow luxury buildings are constructed amidst the colorful flower seas. The residents of the topmost level are dressed in silver and white tight-fitting clothing. The majority of them hardly ever work, living a life filled with leisure and entertainment each day.
From the moment they were born, the people here possessed assets beyond ordinary imagination.
The wealth that the board members possessed was terrifyingly abundant, accounting for even more than ninety-nine percent of the Ring City.
In the heart of the region, there stood a towering white building, resembling a grand tower. At its highest point, there was a unique room with an antique charm. The room was devoid of any metals, entirely crafted from pure wood.
Surrounded by numerous lifelike androids, a wise elderly man with glasses, dressed in a dark kimono-like robe, sat upon a wooden chair. His spirit was lively, and his face remained calm, exuding an indescribable air of authority.
"It seems like the contract we signed with Noy military is going to be abandoned."
The elderly man’s eyes, resembling those of an ordinary person, emitted a gentle blue glow as he watched the latest released video, captivated in deep contemplation.
"Fortunately, such things would never happen in our city, cough cough."
He looked towards the nearby distance.
As long as she was there, the Babel Tower wasn’t such a big deal.
The little girl with red clothes and red hair stood there.
She was probably not even ten years old, with a delicate and flawless face. She couldn’t possibly be an old person’s granddaughter because there was not a hint of human emotion in her eyes. She didn’t even seem as human as the androids around her.
The old person continued speaking.
"Scarlet, our partnership is coming to a close, and your long-awaited wish is about to come true."
"When that time comes, everything will change."
"You shall rule this world."
The old man said a lot, as if he hoped the girl in the red dress would answer him, but in the end, he couldn’t hear any response.
His eyes were filled with disappointment.
Suddenly, the little girl spoke up.
Her voice remained emotionless, and her eyes didn’t blink at all as she spoke, as if she were a finely crafted doll.
"It was not what I wished for."
"This is your wish, it is everyone’s wish."

Tatsumi City.
"Did you see it?"
The Leaf King closed the window, allowing the wind to calm down. He returned to his seat, calmly picked up his teacup, and took a gentle sip.
The tea leaves inside the cup were not expensive but very unique, only a few people with uncommon tastes would drink it.
"World" Mr. Xia sat across, playing with the chess pieces, and nodded calmly, saying, "I see, there are major movements regarding the Babel Tower."
"They quietly changed World order in just a few days," the Leaf King said as he picked up a chess piece.
The Leaf King remained silent for a moment and then spoke, "Since they can occupy the Giant Hive, it means that they can pose a threat to any country in Noah’s world. I am worried…"
"As long as I become a deity, everything will not become a problem," the man with the striking pupils provided the answer.
Mr. Xia, after the First Doomsday Crisis, had already reached the level of a "quasi-deity."
Now, he is one of the only two powerful beings in Noah’s world who are close to God.
The Leaf King set down his teacup and looked at Mr. Xia.
"In the countless years that have passed, there have been numerous powerful individuals, almost too many to count, but only a few have truly become gods…"
"But I believe you will succeed."

The Kingdom of Dark Light.
The Tulip Manor.
"In the newspaper… Have you seen it?" Kaluoer held a newspaper in her hands, gazing expressionlessly at her owner, Viscount Edmond.
"Viscount Edmond," who was none other than Bai Yan himself, nodded and nonchalantly responded, "Yes, I’ve seen it."
"The Babel Tower is very powerful."
After Kaluoer finished speaking, she shamelessly added, "Rounding it off, I am also very powerful."
Bai Yan paused for a moment, whispering to himself, "Ah, right, right, you’ll have 80 points when we join forces."
In fact, when it comes to the time they spent together, in the recent period, Bai Yan and Kaluoer have actually spent the most time together. They couldn’t help but relax in each other’s presence.
Kaluoer tilted her head and leaned towards Bai Yan’s face, saying, "Next time, take me with you."
Bai Yan furrowed his brow and replied, "I wasn’t there this time. Didn’t you read the newspaper? The dynamic newspaper has recorded the whole process, you know."
"Surprisingly, you’re not here? I thought I would find you here…" Kaluoer fell silent for a moment.
"I need tasks to feel satisfied."
She gazed into Bai Yan’s eyes, sensing something indescribable.
"The Mercury Ball no longer exists, but my experiences at the Mercury Ball will never disappear… My mind, my soul, have already bound themselves to accomplishing the mission and fulfilling themselves…"
"Your words have become many," Bai Yan chuckled, "I’ve never heard you speak so much before."
Kaluoer’s character had indeed changed.
Now, she is no longer the cold and ruthless assassin she once was.
…but rather a mischievous, slightly cunning, and skilled maid who enjoys playing pranks… as an assassin.
Yes, just as she had said.
The assassin remained an assassin.
"I would like to ask for your help in explaining the situation to the Savior," Kaluoer added.
Bai Yan understood what she meant, which was… she hoped that he wouldn’t always be "in charge of the warehouse."
Daily missions and weekly missions, Bai Yan scheduled for the Core Operators to complete them. But now, there are already too many Core Operators, and when divided among everyone, the interval between each mission has become quite long.
With the decrease in workload, Maryse naturally felt elated, while Kaluoer, who used to consider killing as her "job," would appear to be less adaptable.
"Sorry, I refuse."
Bai Yan shook his head and gently touched Kaluoer’s hair.
"Kaluoer, try your best to be a normal girl. You need friends, entertainment, hobbies… Even if you are willing to be a ‘tool’, I still don’t want you to be just a ‘tool’."
Kaluoer tilted her head and stared at Bai Yan for a long time.
She bowed and turned away.
Bai Yan said no more and didn’t want to interfere too much in Kaluoer’s life.
Next, he would focus on his own affairs.
The delightful and enjoyable things.
The reward summary and… summoning!
