A new Babel Tower meeting is taking place.
This time, the venue of the meeting was completely different from every past one.
It was neither the Sky Temple, nor the Crystal Palace, nor a castle under the starry sky.
The crowd stood above the clouds.
Under their feet was the ever-moving Noah, and as they looked down upon the land, they could easily see everything in World.
The members of the Babel Tower could see mountains and rivers, as well as the countless buildings in the city.
Maryse thought that this meeting could be called the "Hall of the Sky Clan"... The corresponding structure, of course, was that of the "Water Clan’s Aquarium".
Inside the Babel Tower, they traveled thousands of miles with divine speed, marveling at everything in Noah’s world.
The city where Noah lived, the wilderness where the sinners dwelled, and many desolate places where no one lived.
Formed the entire world.
Even though everything will eventually fade away like the wind, at least in this moment, the warriors of the Babel Tower are still fighting for the land beneath their feet.
And they believed that it was meaningful.
The golden World Tree rose high above Tatsumi City, its pinnacle towering even higher than the elusive Golden Palace, which seemed to appear and disappear among the clouds.
It stood tall, reaching into the clouds.
The branches of the World Tree shimmered with a white glow, and whenever the members of Babel Tower wished to travel to the otherworld, the World Tree would burst forth with a blinding light.
Its energy would bridge the boundaries between worlds.
Bai Yan sat at the highest spot.
Observe everything.
The members of Babel Tower gathered together.
They had become quite familiar with each other, and the atmosphere of this meeting was more relaxed than usual. The whole team had unprecedented confidence in the future.
One man among the group stood up and approached Alan.
Alan also spoke up, saying, "Thank you very much, Alan, for coming to my wedding with your wife. By the way, my sister really likes the gift your wife brought."
"This is the right thing to do," said Alan with a smile.
He got married two months ago.
The man paused for a moment and then said, "I haven’t let go."
Standing next to Alan was a man, and it was none other than Ganis, the Fist of Duel.
At this moment, wearing the attire of Tatsumi City, he gazed into Alan’s eyes and spoke earnestly:
"In the past few years, my friends and I have experienced a lot of pain, cruelty, and injustice that we can never forget... Even now, I still hold a grudge against the people of Noah."
"The Persecuted were the original inhabitants of this world, when suddenly the people of Noah arrived with a Rainbow, taking over the entire world. The sorrowful Dark Light condemned us as sinners..."
Ganis paused for a moment and said, "But my hatred towards the people of Noah is not because of my ancestors."
"The Persecuted are a branch of the Doomsday Race, my ancestors who once worshipped the Outer God in madness. They used dark rituals as the foundation of their power and destroyed other civilizations, often sacrificing human lives and blood... Perhaps, they were always destined to invite destruction."
Alan remained silent, simply watching his friend quietly.
"I simply couldn’t let go of my anger because of the pain suffered by my loved ones."
"But..."
"No matter what, I can’t gather the oppressed for revenge... Not because of the restrictions of the Savior... But because I have a friend who is a Noah."
"I will never forget hatred, but I could never abandon friendship."
Ganis took a deep breath.
Admiring, the Savior stood high above.
The deity who would save them, save World.
In the tall Babel Tower, the people admired themselves.
Admiring, the mysterious and enigmatic Savior.
The great being who would grant strength, grant hope.
"The people from all over World admired me!"
He wanted to shout loudly, but was afraid of being heard by the Goddess of the Night.
A year ago, Bai Yan could never have imagined his current situation. Life is unpredictable.
"The game has reached its later stages, nearing its final conclusion..."
He took a deep breath and sat down on the rooftop.
Mu Ling appeared by his side, though he didn’t know when.
She spoke softly, "I feel that you are weary, lonely, and even... a little afraid."
It is nighttime now.
The Goddess of the Night possesses powerful divine abilities, and her perception can expand through the night sky to any location in Noah’s world.
She stood to the side, her voice gentle.
"What on earth happened?"
Bai Yan smiled and said, "You have no psychic powers at all, yet you are imitating Maryse. Do you think you know me very well?"
"Mu Ling, have you ever thought about whether you truly understand who is the Savior of the Babel Tower?"
Mu Ling sat down beside him and said calmly, "If it takes extraordinary power to understand you, then what qualifications do I have to stand by your side?"
Bai Yan blinked in surprise.
Mu Ling continued, "You are truly great. You have given me everything, you have given me today, you have given me the future. I am always grateful to you, no matter when."
"This feeling is suppressed."
"I tried my best to share the responsibility with you. I used to think that you were beyond my reach, but now I feel... perhaps I can really sit here."
She hoped to be the sharp edge of the Savior, and even more than that.
Bai Yan’s heart trembled delicately.
"Mu Ling, it’s time."
"What?"
Mu Ling felt puzzled and confused.
"It is tonight..."
"But there should still be enough time, in the end, I will tell you some very important things."
Bai Yan turned his head, looking at the girl who was willing to give everything for him.
He couldn’t help but feel his heart surging with excitement.
There are many important people in one’s destiny, but no matter what, she was definitely the most special one.
From the beginning, until the end.
The things we shared together...
More than what fate had determined.
