Chapter 492:
"What?"
Alan’s face was filled with astonishment and disbelief as he exclaimed, "Impossible! Mr. Xia may be a little harsh, but he is ultimately an Imperial Guard on the side of order in the Air Alliance. It’s too exaggerated to say he is the demonic king of hell!"
The four demonic kings of hell, they are terrifying beings on par with advanced deities. Those renowned Demon Lords are nothing compared to them.
The Cursed String Music sighed, not answering, but instead glanced at the restless Ai.
He still cared deeply, discovering that the girl who had followed him for several years was actually a spy working for the Leaf King.
Although The Cursed String Music appears younger than Ai, in reality, they are actually older. He has always treated Ai as a younger sister and a student.
Unexpectedly…
The Cursed String Music noticed that Ai was also looking at him and shook his head:
"That fissure in the underworld, it was opened by the underworld king, Asmode. And because of that, I have the chance to return to Noah… I can swear with a ceremony, my words hold no lies!"
Alan fell silent.That kind of ceremony surely exists, with the mysterious power that makes one swear to speak the truth… And, in a certain sense, this fissure in the underworld indeed attested to the words of The Cursed String Music.
Actually, this newly-formed fissure in the underworld was not very secretive.
He could even tell himself, why didn’t Mr. Xia or, rather, the Imperial Guards notice at all?
Something was not right.
This truly defied logic.
Alan remained silent for a while before slowly speaking:
"In fact, I currently have three roles. Firstly, I am a member of the Night Watcher, then I am also part of the Babel Tower, and lastly… during this time, I have actually become a member of the Air Alliance Imperial Guards, as a magician."
The Cursed String Music couldn’t help but sound eerie and mysterious:
"Then you and she are truly a perfect match, one is double-dipping, while the other is even more fierce, devouring three houses all at once."
Ai Weiwei paused for a moment, feeling a slight confusion.
"Sorry."
She lowered her head and said, "I approached you with a purpose from the very beginning. I have been serving the Leaf King’s family since I was little, and even my parents are the same… I had no choice."
The Cursed String Music asked, "Mr. Xia, did you come up with a solution that allowed you to escape the routine mind-reading inspection?"
"No, it was the Leaf King’s people," Ai shook her head.
"Um, it’s all the same."
The Cursed String Music nodded, and he/she didn’t ask any further. It didn’t make sense.
"In short, I will leave Tatsumi City… go far away from here, Alan. Please make sure the Babel Tower behind you is prepared, Mr. Xia. Asmode, who is inside Mr. Xia, may summon an army from Hell at any time, triggering a new Doomsday Crisis!"
The great army of Hell indeed had the qualification to destroy World.
After The Cursed String Music finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared from sight, having left Tatsumi City through his magical spell.
Alan fell into silence.
"No matter if what he said is true or not, this thing must be known by the Savior."

There was no response.
Bai Yan contemplated inside the Babel Tower, and despite the recent various raids on the Ring City Laboratory, they had not led to further escalation of the situation.
Rock Morgan seemed to be admitting defeat to himself.
They didn’t want to fight against the Babel Tower. Apart from sending two agents to negotiate, they took no further action.
However, this was to be expected.
Apart from having the deity intervene personally, there seemed to be no other way to deal with the Babel Tower. But divine intervention was no small matter… Bai Yan had reason to believe that Rock Morgan couldn’t easily control the Crimson Sovereign.
Nations and cities relied on gods, rather than the other way around.
That individual would only take action when they themselves decided to do so.
However, even if the Crimson Sovereign decided to take action, Bai Yan remained undeterred.
Because he and the "Anomalous Star" within the Rainbow had already established a mutual understanding.
This was also the main reason he could agree with Amy, indicating that she could let go and pursue it.
In the process of "Power Possession: Anomalous Star," Bai Yan had come to understand the thoughts and emotions of this divine being.
Compared to the other, much older deities, the relatively new "Anomalous Star" still held a sense of identity as a "Noah" in its heart.
He still didn’t want to give up on Noah.
"For the Rainbows, Noah’s world is like a shared villa on the mountainside. When the forest fire broke out, Heart of Radiance chose to sacrifice itself to put out the fire, while Fate’s Strings Master, perhaps the most rational and objective, observed in secrecy, coldly deciding to leave and move out at some point…"
But Fate’s Strings Master didn’t know that if Noah were to be destroyed, perhaps the entire multiverse would face a crisis.
However, Bai Yan himself had no evidence to prove this, making it even more difficult to persuade this tranquil deity to lend a hand.
"And in the myth, Fate’s Strings Master has always been synonymous with ‘going with the flow’, even having a similar proverb in Noah’s story… Perhaps going with the flow, calmly observing the path of destiny, is the peaceful way she chose when ascending into the Apocalypse."
Bai Yan felt that his guess was almost certainly correct.
"Anomalous Star, at first, also wanted to move away from here, the rational deity. However, it was constantly undecided and now has once again made up its mind to help extinguish the fire."
"As for the other three, let’s not mention them. In short, it’s unlikely that they could be of any help."
Now, Bai Yan had already decided on the participants for the "Endless Treasures".
Because only a maximum of two Apocalypses can be dispatched among the five, Bai Yan pondered and chose the "Queen of the Scarlet Moon" and the "Fusion Slime" to enter the dungeon.
Maryse couldn’t move for now, as Noah still relied on her for many things.
As for the reason for choosing the slime over Alan and Kaluoer, it was because both of them had their own tasks to do in Noah’s daily life.
The slime would eat and drink all day long! It had nothing to do! It didn’t matter even if it was taken away for a while!
Yes, ‘Endless Treasures’ is not a dungeon that can be completed in a day. The flow of time in that island’s world is completely different from Noah’s.
Still, three Crown level members of Babel Tower needed to be chosen, and Bai Yan’s choices were himself as the "World Savior," Ganis, the "Fist of Duel," and Aurora, the "Sacred Heart’s Chosen."
After making his decision, Bai Yan immediately clicked on "Endless Treasures."
"Game tip:"
The "Entertainment Card: Endless Treasures" has been activated.
"Please choose the team members."
"Choice is made!"
"Dungeon of Endless Treasures, begin!"
—
Another world.
The Continent of Zeuo,Holy Light Kingdom.
Ever since the defeat of Garfield, the courageous red-haired knight, the powerful Tylor civilization behind the scenes has remained inactive. Meanwhile, Aurora, together with her knight squad, has been roaming far and wide. They constantly turn snow into spring, bringing salvation to the people suffering in the Decaying Disaster.
The Demons no longer exist, winter has been dispelled, and everything on the entire continent is heading towards a positive direction.
"Great Babel Tower Savior, your desires are our mission. We follow your thoughts and words, longing to hear your teachings…"
In the central square of the Holy City, Aurora knelt on one knee, clad in armor, and whispered silently.
In front of a towering monument over ten meters high, the Knights of the Sacred Heart, now expanded to over two hundred members, led thousands of people to kneel down, expressing gratitude and admiration to the great Babel Tower Savior.
Aurora had already proclaimed to World that the snow disaster of the previous years was caused by the fall of the Light God, and the Savior of the Babel Tower, this new deity, was a reincarnation of the Light God!
Because of His appearance, symbolizing the rebirth of light, the crazed and terrifying demon tribe disappeared, and the endless disaster of heavy snow is about to come to an end!
After nearly reaching the brink of extinction, the people were redeemed, and without exception, they believed it to be true, all of them began fervently believing in the great Savior of the Babel Tower!
"Please protect us…"
Aurora, kneeling on the ground, closed her eyes and, reaching the end of her words, paused for a moment.
Her voice grew softer.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, the Light God. Now, I am no longer worthy to be your follower. Both my body and soul have been devoted to the Savior of the Babel Tower."
Having personally imprisoned hundreds and thousands of followers of the Light God, it filled Aurora’s heart with guilt.
Especially when her friends, who used to sing together in the choir, yelled and cursed at her.
However, Aurora would not change her mind.
"Instead of letting people die with their existing beliefs…"
She took a deep breath, realizing that the Light God had indeed fallen, and the only remaining god to protect the people of this land was the Savior of the Babel Tower.
Collective conversion is a necessary behavior, in order to strengthen the connection between people and the Savior of the Babel Tower… The danger is not yet over, the unbelievably powerful Tylor civilization still exists, constantly hanging like a sword above our heads.
If the Zeuo people didn’t have the support of the gods, the chances of them turning the tide and achieving success were truly less than one in a million.
Just at that moment, Aurora’s mind was filled with a familiar voice.
[Sacred Heart’s Chosen.]
[You have been chosen.]
Aurora had no confusion or surprise, but instead, it was already familiar to her.
She quickly stood up and turned around to look at the praying crowd.
People also gazed at her.
The beautiful golden hair shimmered under the sunlight as Aurora raised her long spear high. She exclaimed, "We are about to answer the summon of the Savior and journey to the otherworld to vanquish the demonic race. This is the trace of the divine! The divine summon! The mission bestowed upon us by God!"
Amidst the uproarious cheers of the crowd, every member of the Knights of the Sacred Heart slowly raised their weapons, as a dark mist engulfed them.
In the next moment, over two hundred knights arrived together at a sparsely populated forest.
Aurora spotted a little girl with fiery red hair, dressed in black, standing on a large stone not far away.
She gazed coldly at the knights, emitting an eerie aura that even made Aurora feel a flicker of fear.
"Aurora, you stinky little creature, do you always have to bring so many followers with you, and they keep increasing, all of them smelling just like you."
The Scarlet Moon sat boredly on a stone, swinging her little legs.
The knights present became nervous when they saw this powerful half-god vampire, feeling fear instinctively.
But because Aurora had received training before, even the newly recruited knights didn’t overreact. If they were to mistakenly attack the Scarlet Moon as a monster, it would be quite a spectacle.
"Scarlet Moon, watch your words," Bai Yan’s voice came through.
The familiar voice made the Scarlet Moon furrow her brows, clench her teeth, feeling more annoyed than ever. At the same time… a deep hunger began to stir uncontrollably deep within her heart.
The next moment, Bai Yan, the Slime, and Ganis all arrived here together.
"I didn’t expect even a useless person like you to come, huh," The Scarlet Moon couldn’t hide her displeasure.
The Profligate, Bai Yan, smiled faintly, completely ignoring the Scarlet Moon, and nodded gently to the people present.
"The precious treasure hidden by the gods is about to be stolen by us. In the days to come, we will become the most skilled thieves in the multiverse."
