I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization-Chapter 404

The blue light in his hand gradually transformed, becoming thin trails of light that Bai Yan gathered in the palm of his hand.

Using the mighty power of the "Sword of Demons", he gradually absorbed the soul of Ming, feeling very clearly that his own power was expanding.

That swelling feeling was like being stuffed into an almost full wardrobe, and yet somehow, more things were crammed in... White Yan was taken by surprise at the unexpected gaps that appeared.

He was growing stronger.

But there was still some distance to the Apocalypse.

Originally, Bai Yan thought he was about to reach the Apocalypse.

Sure enough, the Sword of Demons possessed the ability to devour souls and become stronger. So... by harnessing the Power Possession, one could also grow stronger by devouring souls.

"Is this how I will reach the Apocalypse in the future?"

Bai Yan murmured to himself, thinking that if he could reach the level of the Apocalypse, it would undoubtedly provide great help in saving World.

Most importantly, every time I enhance my strength, it seems that "Babel Tower" will unlock new abilities.

To be honest, if the dual abilities of "game" and "connection" were to reach the Apocalypse, what kind of new abilities would appear?

He was even a little bit surprised.

"Hmm, for now let's not think too much about this... Finding the truth is currently very important."

Although they had already defeated and absorbed the BOSS, they still needed to search for the truth.

Because Bai Yan knew that this matter involved not only Ming and the Doomsday Race.

More importantly... it involved the Leaf King... who is currently the leader of the Air Alliance, the person with the highest authority according to the laws.

Bai Yan closed his eyes and immersed his mind into the ocean of consciousness. He began to use his own power to unravel numerous memories, focusing on the parts he currently needed the most.

In the depths of Ming's memories, there was indeed a part concerning Tatsumi City.

Or, to be more precise, it was about that part concerning Noah.

In reality, Ming was not the true mastermind behind this.

She was merely carrying out the commands of her master, the Hundred-Armed Giant named Nullify, and didn't belong to the group of decision-makers.

"Nullify" is a terrifying giant with a hundred arms that has existed for an unknown amount of time. It possesses immense power, almost god-like, and worships the great Outer God, "Black Abyss Deep Sea."

Its dream was singular, to become a true deity, and therefore it sought the bestowal of the Black Abyss Deep Sea.

Nullify instructed his strongest subordinate, Ming, to send someone to infiltrate Tatsumi City in Noah's world. Their mission was to search for and unravel the seal of the Black Abyss Deep Sea.

"The seal of Black Abyss Deep Sea... is it in Tatsumi City?"

Bai Yan "saw" this and couldn't help but feel astonished. Such a thing, he had never even considered before. Could this be the greatest peculiarity of Tatsumi City?

"In fact, I have always been guessing that the beginning of 'Babel Tower' in Tatsumi City has many reasons, but I didn't expect there to be this reason."

(Translated by Gravity Tales ??)

He thought that the special thing about Tatsumi City was its weak spatial barrier, which made it vulnerable to intrusions from external beings, along with that powerful Ruin-level Relic.

"The Overflowing in the World, Recording Everything" that had already been taken away by the witch.

Now, he realized that Tatsumi City was actually sealing an incredibly terrifying existence, the true form of the Black Abyss Deep Sea!

A part of the Black Abyss Deep Sea resided within the abyss, and its main body was unexpectedly sealed in the Noah's World, even sealed within the location of Tatsumi City.

Once the Black Abyss Deep Sea, as the Outer God, is unsealed, the entire Noah's World will crumble and disintegrate in an instant, and the universe will vanish in the blink of an eye.

"What kind of being could possibly seal the essence of the Black Abyss Deep Sea?"

He thought that the one who sealed the Black Abyss Deep Sea should be an Outer God.

But, the information that followed... amazed Bai Yan beyond measure!

"What a surprise!"

In the depths of Ming's memory, the being that sealed the Black Abyss Deep Sea countless years ago was actually not an Outer God of the same level, nor even a deity.

But merely a being who has not yet reached the realm of gods.

This left Bai Yan feeling astonished.

Could a non-deity really seal an Outer God?

How could this be possible?

"Completely unreasonable!"

Bai Yan felt that this was somewhat unbelievable. Compared to the mighty Outer God, non-deity mortals were truly like ants in comparison to humans.

Even the demigods were no exception.

No matter how large and exaggerated an ant may be, even if it tried its best to bite a human's finger, at most it would only make the human recoil their hand... It is impossible for an ant to forcefully lock a human in a small dark room.

Although many extraordinary individuals could banish the projections of the Outer Gods or, save World by disrupting the rituals before their arrival.

However, once the true form of the Outer God descends, it is completely beyond the power of ordinary beings to resist.

"What is the reason? That allows a mortal to seal the Outer God?"

Bai Yan's heart raced, and suddenly he felt the need to investigate this further.

He had always felt a lack of direct power to confront the Outer God, but now, with this sudden piece of information, hope began to arise.

Why was Black Abyss Deep Sea sealed by mortals?

The reason behind it may possibly be the key to saving the entire world in the future.

According to the memories within Ming's soul, the seal of the Black Abyss Deep Sea is located in Tatsumi City, but even Ming and "Nullify" are unaware of its exact location and form.

"Um, even though she had learned this important clue, she had no idea where to start..."

Bai Yan shook his head and could only try to find clues slowly.

Although he was in a hurry, being anxious wouldn't help.

Soon, Bai Yan also discovered how the Night Watchers were possessed.

The key reason is the trade between the Leaf King and Nullify!

Yes, the Leaf King made a deal with the chaotic powerhouse from the depths called "Nullify" a few years ago. And it was this very deal that led to the Night Watchers being possessed.

The Leaf King, at that time, wanted something very specific - a kind of reverse teleportation technique... He made a wish upon the "Forged Lamp of Deception."

It was the wish that summoned the dark entity "Nullify" from the depths.

"Magic lamp?"

Bai Yan still remembers that there was a Wishing Lamp in the pond of the Babel Tower, but he had never managed to draw it, not even a single fragment.

That was the most powerful Civilization-level Relic, surpassing any other Civilization-level Relic in strength, except for the Ruin-level Relics.

Even wishes that gods themselves could not fulfill, it could still make them come true out of thin air.

As for the so-called counterfeit Wishing Lamps, Bai Yan had never seen them, but he knew, just as the name suggested, that they were imitation versions of the real Wishing Lamp.

"I never would've imagined that the Leaf King would have something like a 'counterfeit Wishing Lamp' in his possession," she exclaimed in surprise.

But it was clear as day that the counterfeit Wishing Lamp had major issues.

Perhaps the Leaf King believed that he was making a wish to a deity, but little did he know that it was actually the disguised Nullify, a hundred-armed giant.

So, even though the Leaf King had his wish fulfilled and acquired a special ceremony to activate reverse teleportation, little did he know that Nullify had tampered with this very ceremony.

That means, the person who uses the ceremony would be cursed by Nullify.

Those cursed individuals would be plagued by "Skeuomorphism," gradually being possessed by them, ultimately becoming slaves of the Doomsday Race. They may not even see the "Skeuomorphism," making it difficult to resist this process.

A very cunning move. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Bai Yan furrowed his brow, pondering the cause and effect, connecting all the clues in his mind.

"Oh, I see now. I finally understand everything."

Combining the information Bai Yan and Amy discovered from inside the Demon Hunt General Agency, along with World's sudden appearance for protecting Ai... Hmm, these were just things he had recently become aware of.

Finally, the truth of the matter has been uncovered.

Bai Yan muttered to himself, "The timestamp on that video says it all. The moment they initiated the reverse teleportation ceremony happened to be the same day when the 'Highest City' was attacked by Aliin, an otherworldly civilization."

There are no coincidences like that. The connection between the two is clearly evident.

Upon arriving here, everything fell into place.

Once upon a time, when the Leaf King was still just a prince, he aspired to become the leader of the Air Alliance. His biggest competitor on this journey was undoubtedly Ms. Peggie, who was known as "the Casket".

Ms. Peggie is the owner of the Shadow Association.

The Shadow Association, which was born almost at the same time as the Air Alliance, is an ancient and long-standing organization. It holds many secrets and information, and possesses a deep and profound heritage. Ms. Peggie, originally, was the most likely candidate to become the new leader of the Air Alliance.

But during the Hundred Kings Assembly, the once "Highest City" was suddenly attacked by the people of Aliin. Many kings were almost killed, but fortunately, the Imperial Guards were strong enough to directly repel the army of Aliin.

The story took a sudden turn behind the scenes, and Ms. Peggie's subordinates were suddenly arrested, revealing the "truth."

Looking at the overwhelming evidence, people discovered that Ms. Peggie might have orchestrated the attack by the Aliin civilization herself, even planning to seize the opportunity to eliminate the kings.

Although the kings knew that things might not be so simple, this gave the Imperial Guards a valid excuse to take action. As a result, Peggie was swiftly confined against her will in the impenetrable tower of the "Great Tower" by the relentless "World." freewёbnoνel.com

And so, she lost her qualification to contend for the position of alliance leader.

Even though many kings felt extremely dissatisfied with "World" imprisoning one of them without orders or authorization, they ultimately chose not to rebel.

Because the director of the Demon Hunt General Agency, "Sword Saint" Austin, also supported the Leaf King!

Since both the Demon Hunt General Agency and the Eyes of the Empire have chosen the Leaf King, whatever the kings may want to do is now impossible. The difference in power between the two sides is just too vast.

In the end, Mr. World succeeded in overthrowing the previous leader and supported the Leaf King as the new leader of the Air Alliance.

Bai Yan closed his eyes and once again whispered to himself:

"That means, the Leaf King had planned everything from the very beginning. He orchestrated the attack by Aliin himself, and used the power of the Imperial Guards to forcefully imprison Ms. Peggie... And in the end, he successfully became the leader of the Air Alliance."

Bai Yan had played through the first playthrough of "Babel Tower" and discovered that the Leaf King was always successfully chosen as the leader of the Air Alliance. However, it was now his first time learning the truth of the matter.

Because the secret behind this matter was too shocking, the Leaf King didn't allow the direct involvement of the Demon Hunt General Agency after several Night Watchers encountered trouble one after another.

Instead, they chose Babel Tower.

"Why choose the Babel Tower? Aren't they afraid that the Babel Tower might hold something against them? Since they want us to investigate the truth."

After pondering for a while, Bai Yan suddenly realized.

In fact, the Leaf King wasn't afraid of the truth being revealed at all!

Otherwise, he would have already eliminated all the Night Watchers, whether they were aware of the truth or not.

His true supporters were the Imperial Guards of the Eyes of the Empire. This was the real reason why the Leaf King became the leader of the alliance, and not for any other reasons.

Now that the outcome was settled, what difference would it make even if the conspiracy were to be revealed again?

Could there really be someone who wants to reason with the 'world'?

World and the Leaf King schemed against Ms. Peggie, as they didn't want any turmoil within the Air Alliance and desired a smooth power transition... but it doesn't mean they couldn't resort to even more violent methods.

The Leaf King asked the Babel Tower to handle this matter, just to see what choice the Babel Tower would make... If the Babel Tower conceals this matter, then it means that the Babel Tower and him share a secret, and from then on they would be trustworthy allies.

Otherwise, the Babel Tower would become the enemy of the Leaf King, no, the entire empire, including the Imperial Guards.

"In a world where great power converges, strong individual strength is indeed the best authority," Bai Yan muttered.

"How are you? Senior Profligate, what did you see in the end?"

Mu Ling walked over to him, looking at him with confusion.

She noticed that Profligate senior stood still in the same spot for a long time.

Mu Ling could see clearly as the soul was absorbed, but she wasn't sure what exactly Profligate senior gained from the soul.

To be honest, Mu Ling has always admired this a little.

That is because Mr. Profligate possesses an abundance of power!

In her impression, she had never encountered an extraordinary being so incredibly strong and filled with such immense power!

But the senior Profligate was undoubtedly an exception.

"Hmm... I think I've already figured out the truth."

Bai Yan pondered for a moment and decided not to tell Mu Ling about the reasons and consequences of the matter.

To save World of Noah, he needed the power of the Imperial Guards instead of confronting them.

And if Mu Ling knew the true facts, with her sense of justice... it was inevitable that she would develop strong enmity towards the Leaf King and the "world."

When the Aliin people attacked Highest City, although none of the scared kings died, there were a small number of casualties among the people living in the city.

Mu Ling would definitely care about this... In fact, Bai Yan cared a lot too.

But reason told him that it wasn't the time to punish the two of them yet.

When the time comes, only when the "Savior" gives the order, can she resist her impulsiveness.

For some reason, Bai Yan just didn't want the "Savior" to lose favor in Mu Ling's heart, but rather hoped to maintain a perfect image.

So, he simply chose not to disclose the true facts to Mu Ling.

"But this true fact, I cannot say."

Bai Yan took a deep breath and gazed into Mu Ling's eyes, hoping that she would understand him.

"Since that's the case, let's deal with the Doomsday Race inside this fortress."

Mu Ling nodded without asking further questions, instead, she eagerly desired to liberate Ironcore Fortress.

Tens of thousands of enslaved slaves lived here, constantly displaying their suffering, which made her feel extremely angry.

"No, our battle is not over yet."

Bai Yan gently shook his head, his expression gradually growing serious.

The battle here has not yet come to an end... Inside the Babel Tower, the true form of Bai Yan has long been aware of this fact through the Babel Tower game.

Mu Ling's eyes widened slightly, and then she saw the enormous Black Abyss Deep Sea sculpture ahead start to glow.

A beam of dark light.

"Black Abyss Deep Sea!" cried Mu Ling uncontrollably.

Her gaze was captivated by the intense beam of dark light.

The pitch-black light had undulating waves resembling a dark ocean. At this moment, she felt as if she was submerged in the deepest depths of the sea, with the brightness growing more distant. Deep within her heart, only the most intense fear remained!

Mu Ling could feel a sense of drowning overwhelming her mind. She wanted to struggle, but she was completely powerless!
