Tatsumi City, it was eleven o’clock in the morning.

One after another, enormous black mud creatures emerged from the ground, reaching out to touch and influence World.

There were simply too many of them.

Inside the city, there were thousands of black mud creatures, with most of them crazily chasing after the crowds, while a few grew smaller and hid away.

In the high sky, the radiance of Mu Ling’s Imperial Light Execution faded away in her hands.

She waved the blade of the sword.

In the next moment, the entire world was completely enveloped by the darkness of the night.

Countless monsters were instantly swallowed by darkness, as if they were wiped away, making no sound at all, and vanishing directly into the night.

Everything lasted only for half a minute.

The sky once again turned back to its original daylight, and Mu Ling, standing high up in the air, had already withdrawn the Imperial Light Execution.

—

"Sorry, I just took a little longer to solve it."

Mu Ling, holding the Imperial Light Execution in her hand, calmly walked into the café.

Mr. Profligate and Maryse were already sitting here, calmly drinking coffee and looking relaxed. In reality, they had just traveled to several cities around World to solve problems.

Bai Yan looked towards Mu Ling not far away, and Maryse set down her coffee, looking at him.

"Mr. Profligate, you should just watch me,"

Maryse grumbled a little unhappily.

Hmm… Bai Yan felt a little guilty, but his expression didn’t show it at all.

He smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "I was just looking at you for a while, you know?"

Maryse pouted.

"Never mind, you can go ahead and see for yourself. Hmph, anyway, her heart only belongs to that ‘person’… No matter how much you think about it, it’s pointless. Black chocolate ice cream is very delicious, but some people will never get to taste it."

Black chocolate ice cream?

Bai Yan couldn’t help but look again, Mu Ling with her black clothes and white hair… This description oddly matched perfectly.

He fell into deep thought, wondering why this person’s ability to see through things was still so strong even when his psychic abilities didn’t work.

Was it because he had been observing my every move for a long time?

Mu Ling didn’t understand what was happening between the two of them, but calmly said, "How is the situation? Just now, I have already cleaned up all the monsters in Tatsumi City."

"Cleaned up nicely, well done, Mu Ling."

Bai Yan nodded and smiled.

His tone involuntarily sounded a bit condescending, Maryse didn’t pay much attention to it, while Mu Ling glanced at Bai Yan briefly.

Ultimately, why would the Savior and Mr. Profligate have remarkably similar powers?

After the battle with the Giant Hive, Mu Ling had been pondering this question.

Did the Savior share a portion of his power with him?

If that’s the case, he was really fortunate.

Mu Ling remained silent.

"Chocolate… Mu Ling, you’ve become so strong, like a rocket shooting up into the sky, becoming much stronger than before."

Maryse didn’t hesitate to speak in a sour tone.

She got up and hugged Mu Ling tightly, clutching onto her.

"This is not my power, but the power of the Savior… I am merely using it on His behalf."

Mu Ling subconsciously wanted to push Maryse away, but she resisted the urge.

"Nonsense, Naigao, remember, what is given to you is yours!"

For example, the power He gave me is now my own power! I won’t give it back even if you kill me!" Maryse shouted confidently without any shame.

"Mu Ling, it’s important for you to realize this."

Bai Yan suddenly spoke, and both girls were slightly surprised.

Continuing, he said earnestly, "Actually, in terms of power, you are no less than me now… but still, you haven’t truly become a god, you haven’t taken the final step yet."

"The key is that you haven’t been able to fully harness the power within you, and your heart is not yet in tune with this immensely surpassing force."

"In the end, this power doesn’t entirely belong to you."

Mu Ling was momentarily taken aback.

"My cold heart?"

"Yes."

Bai Yan nodded gently, reminiscing about his recent conversation with Anomalous Star.

In the end, he didn’t kill Ji.

"Let me kill someone who silently helps me, someone who is willing to sacrifice for others, I can’t do it."

At that moment, Bai Yan gazed at the other person and calmly spoke:

"Let me see the Anomalous Star, it’s very important."

And then, Ji wanted to say something to persuade him, but just then… the Anomalous Star suddenly possessed Ji.

"You and we are different."

The Anomalous Star gazed at Bai Yan through Ji’s body.

"Any one of us would choose to kill Ji, even the Heart of Radiance."

"Instead of the fate of World, you actually care more about your own ‘feelings’… For you, being happy inside might be the most important thing."

"Saving World is just an extremely important game for you."

Bai Yan had no words to say in response.

Maybe, that’s how it truly is.

If everything were to start over, and I was playing a game that destroys World… After discovering the truth, would I continue playing?

He didn’t know either.

Bai Yan, who was too lazy to ponder over various possibilities, straightforwardly said, "To become a god, apart from fulfilling the requirements of the Ultimate Ritual and attaining the power of a demigod, are there any other important conditions?"

Even the Anomalous Star was momentarily stunned.

Becoming a deity?

The Babel Tower, could it actually accomplish such a thing?

"Becoming a god… Such a grand ambition."

The Anomalous Star remained silent for a while before speaking:

"I didn’t know whether to be amazed that ‘the Babel Tower could easily reach the heavens’… or to think, ‘even the Babel Tower has things it cannot accomplish’."

"The wonder of the Babel Tower truly amazed me."

The Anomalous Star seemed to be greatly moved.

Throughout history, extraordinary rulers in Noah’s world were as rare as the sighting of a jumping fish in a river. The powerful beings of the Apocalypse level also appeared and disappeared time and time again in history, with an unknown number.

Only a handful of beings truly remained and became gods.

But for the Babel Tower, this was merely a somewhat challenging task.

It was too much… something that was impossible to accept.

Bai Yan continued calmly, saying, " "

"I’m sorry for being rude, but time is running out and our fighting power is severely lacking… If they manage to rescue the Outer God, everything will be over."

"I must know the final condition to become a god."

"Ah, I see now."

The Anomalous Star seemed to understand something, nodding and pondering.

"If the ceremony and abilities are already in place… perhaps it is because there is a lack of depth in the ‘heart’ aspect. For example, experience, past encounters, and surpassing one’s limits."

Heart?

Bai Yan caught sight of this word.

The Anomalous Star continued, "In fact, for most quasi-god powerhouses, this is already a necessary foundation… but perhaps it is precisely the quasi-gods of Babel Tower who lack this fundamental quality."

Bai Yan paused in surprise, immediately understanding the other person’s meaning and also realizing why Mu Ling had not been able to take the final step.

Because, strength is something that comes quickly.

She herself is not compatible with that power. Although Babel Tower can bestow power in a straightforward manner, it cannot change one’s character, and certainly cannot alter a person’s state of mind.

Just because she couldn’t match this step, Mu Ling was unable to become a goddess.

But this was a very difficult thing to make up for. Throughout history, every quasi-god without exception had been an existence that lived for many years, having experienced countless major events.

Mu Ling was still not yet nineteen years old.

Placed in the realm of mortals, at this age, just having started college not long ago, even something as serious as getting married would be considered as "immature mindset".

How could a young girl, not long into her adulthood, ever match the tremendous power of a god?

"Hmm, the Savior of Babel Tower has already explained to me… He has a plan that might just work," Bai Yan pondered for a moment, sharing his thoughts.

The Anomalous Star listened attentively, remaining silent for a moment.

"I see now."

"It could work, but it might also… completely ruin her."

—

At this very moment.

Annottales.

The Temple of Dark Light.

Prayer room.

The prayer room in the Temple of Dark Light has always been a place where only the Divine Executors could stay, for it is only here that people can convey their prayers to the Savior of Dark Light.

According to the ancient scriptures, the Savior of Dark Light was filled with love for all living beings and would often listen to people’s opinions and act accordingly.

But gradually, He discovered that most people were ignorant and selfish, so He gave up on this thankless endeavor.

The Savior of Dark Light became someone who only listened to the ideas and thoughts of the past Divine Executors. These Divine Executors had to be wise and morally upright individuals responsible for overseeing the Kingdom of Dark Light on behalf of the Savior and gathering information for Him.

And that is how the highest position of "Divine Executor" came to be.

"Savior…"

The elderly man in a black robe knelt down in the prayer room, closing his eyes and mumbling to himself.

Then, a voice responded to him.

[I finally hear your voice… I should thank you for always protecting this part of me.]

"That’s what I should do, Savior."

The old man in the black robe slowly opened his eyes, finally, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

[I slept for a long time, and during this time, another me had completely lost the battle.]

[This was something that could be foreseen.]

[Back then, the Steel Throne led me to that place, promising to share the opportunity to become a higher deity, and requiring my help… However, it turned out to be a trap.]

[I confronted the Outer God, Black Abyss Deep Sea, there… and it became tainted.]

[So, I willingly split myself in two, separating the untainted part.]

[The other me had lost dignity and self… It was no longer the Savior of Dark Light, nor a deity, and definitely not me. It had simply become a puppet!]

[I need your body to seek revenge upon the Steel Throne, to destroy the fallen puppet… Become my vessel!]

In the end, His tone had turned commanding, full of dominance.

The Divine Executor nodded and said contentedly, "It is my honor."

Dim light burst forth from the temple, enveloping the entire sky.

People all over World could feel it.

A domineering divine aura filled the air!

[Babel Tower did an excellent job, if it weren’t for them restraining and cleaning up a certain amount of pollution in the Black Abyss Deep Sea, I might still be continuing to slumber…]

[But I will be the Savior of this world!]
