I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 296

Firstly, it is not a person.

Although it is a sentient being, it is not the conventional creature that people have in mind.

In reality, as the name suggests, it is a pitch-black blade.

The appearance of "Sword of Demons" is somewhat similar to an extraordinary sword, except for a large, clear and transparent eye on the blade, which looks extremely eerie.

Furthermore, there is something else very special about it.

That is, "Sword of Demons" is the only Core Operator without a "guide mission".

Perhaps even the "Babel Tower" game couldn't think of what kind of guide mission to assign to such a character.

After drawing "Sword of Demons," Bai Yan contemplated for a moment and decided to summon it.

As his weapon.

In fact, "Sword of Demons" is the most suitable support character in the game "Babel Tower." It is not a traditional Core Operator but rather closer in role to a cat in League of Legends.

Any operator who uses it will gain significantly enhanced abilities, especially in the later stages of the game.

Bai Yan still remembered how he had cleared the game in the first playthrough.

In the final Doomsday Crisis, the most powerful boss was actually defeated by Bai Yan with great difficulty using "Nightsaber" and "Sword of Demons."

The strongest weapon naturally had to be given to the strongest member in order to unleash its maximum potential.

Currently, the Scarlet Moon and Mu Ling were undoubtedly the strongest in Babel Tower...

But he was even stronger than them.

Bai Yan decided to make "Sword of Demons" his permanent weapon.

He estimated that his current strength could probably overpower the lower-ranked Apocalypse, and with the power of "Sword of Demons," challenging the middle-ranked Apocalypse became a possibility.

You see, in the entire world of Noah, the top-tier powerhouses at or above the middle-ranked Apocalypse were extremely rare.

Instead of immediately summoning it, he first checked the current situation of "Sword of Demons" through "Babel Tower."

Bai Yan murmured subtly to himself, "That guy has a very bad temperament."

At this moment, the new member of Babel Tower, "Sword of Demons," was in a wilderness area of the Noah world.

It was not being held by anyone but instead inserted into the back of a large magical beast that was over ten meters tall.

This enormous magical beast, resembling a white rhino, had blood-red eyes but seemed completely lifeless. Its movements were erratic and abnormal.

Clearly, it had already been controlled by the power of "Sword of Demons."

Bai Yan silently watched this scene on his phone, feeling no surprise at the abilities of the magic sword.

On the phone screen, "Sword of Demons" controlled the large Rhino Beast to approach a group from the Tribe of Sinners. It communicated with the members of the tribe, collected some belongings, and placed them into the beast's mouth. Then, it commanded the Rhino Beast to move towards a nearby dark and massive cave.

And then it controlled the Rhino Beast and another large monster inside the cave, and they began to fight.

The monster in the cave was also huge, resembling a crimson tiger with eight claws.

Both sides battled fiercely, but the monster in the cave was slightly stronger. After a few minutes, the Rhino Beast controlled by "Sword of Demons" gradually couldn't withstand the opponent's power.

Just then, "Sword of Demons" on the mobile screen suddenly soared into the air and pierced the tiger monster's back with a sword.

The tiger monster let out a miserable scream and was instantly controlled by an immensely evil power.

As for the previous "mount," it collapsed to the ground with a mournful cry and eventually died completely.

Looking at the present Bai Yan through the mobile screen, he shook his head lightly and checked the operator list.

The battle catchphrase of Sword of Demons is "Execute justice! You scum!"

He considered it for a moment and made a change. "I am not your enemy! I am against the world!"

Bai Yan nodded, making it appear more domineering. Most importantly, it perfectly matched its chuunibyou and chaotic personality.

And then, it's the character card for "Sword of Demons".

Description: Formed by the aggregation of all the malice in the world, but it doesn't possess any malice itself. It merely imitates the behaviors of intelligent beings.

Lower ranked Crown, right?

Bai Yan pondered for a moment and checked the Revelation Degree. He found that only with one Spirit of Revelation could it be elevated to middle ranked Crown.

Perfect, consider it a "gift" for our meeting.

He was deeply impressed, Middle ranked Crown's "Sword of Demons" would awaken a crucial and powerful ability.

"Soul Enslavement"

The wilderness.

"Ahahaha, good death! Good death!"

On the dark blade of the longsword, that pair of ferocious eyes with bloodshot veins squinted, as if laughing.

仿佛一个牙牙学语的小女孩，清纯可爱，让人心疼，但又充满成人的恶意和得意。

Like a toddler girl learning to speak, innocent and adorable, making people feel pity, but also full of adult malice and satisfaction.

"Hmph! Finally, one more evil is eradicated! All can be killed, all can be killed, all can be killed! Justice shall prevail!"

The Sword of Demons' tone was filled with laughter and joy.

It controlled a massive tiger-like demon and returned to the Tribe of Sinners.

Some sinners from the tribe came out, and they were all startled when they saw the demon that had plagued them for so long.

But soon, people realized that it no longer launched attacks like before and instead behaved docilely like a lamb.

Finally, when the sinners of the tribe saw the sword on its back, they all understood that the demon would no longer cause harm!

Therefore, they were grateful for this mysterious and peculiar sword.

Just then, the Sword of Demons spoke.

"I suspect you all are also evil! Hiding wickedness! Women, hurry up and take off your clothes so that I can inspect the tribe's possessions and see if you're deceiving me!"

The voice of a little girl stunned everyone; these demands were really bizarre.

These demands didn't seem like something a good person would ask for but more like demands from a bandit.

But calling it a bandit seemed odd considering its behavior.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The Sword of Demons' voice urged everyone, seeming to get excited at the thought of beautiful women and treasure.

Just then, a voice suddenly appeared in its mind.

【You have been chosen by fate, Sword of Demons.】

What?

Why was there a voice in its own mind?

Not good!

Although some lunatics would claim to be mentally unstable, the Sword of Demons had always known it was actually quite normal.

But now, it was uncertain.

Because there suddenly appeared a cold and indifferent voice in its own mind!

A voice it had never heard before!

"In fact, I don't have a brain, and I don't think using it... Is this voice coming from my soul?"

Upon realizing this, it was extremely astonished.

"Certainly, it must be someone wicked who wants to destroy the world and use me... Humph! Justice shall be served! Damn it!"

【I am the savior.】

【Everything is for the salvation of the past and the future, for this impending collapsing world.】

【Sword of Demons.】

【From today onwards, you are a member of Babel Tower.】

What does this mean?

Savior?

"Sword of Demons" was completely dumbfounded, unable to understand the cause and effect. What on earth was going on?

The next moment, it felt everything spinning around, and everything changed.

It suddenly found itself in a luxurious room.

A middle-aged man appeared in front of it, whom it didn't recognize.

"Sword of Demons" instinctively remained cautious, refraining from attacking immediately but ready to escape at any moment.

"Viscount Edmond" smiled as he looked at the sword in front of him. Luckily, summoning only brought the sword over; the towering demon of over ten meters did not come along.

Otherwise, the room would have to undergo extensive repairs again.

"Who are you?" the Sword of Demons floated in mid-air, questioning the man who had suddenly appeared before him.

Bai Yan sat calmly in his chair, silently puffing on a cigar, appearing like a big boss.

He replied, "I am Viscount Edmond, also known as the Keeper of Secrets, and like you, I am a member of the Babel Tower."

Bai Yan paused for a moment but continued, "The chosen one has selected you. From now on, you will be a part of this organization that saves the world... I remember you always wanted to do good and punish evil; now is your lucky break."

Of course, he knew all about punishing evil and promoting good; it was just a fabrication by the "Sword of Demons."

The amount of information was overwhelming.

The "Sword of Demons" floating in mid-air remained silent for a while, seemingly digesting the information, its eyes closing.

"Hmph! Not good!"

The voice of the little girl sounded once again.

Sure enough, the "Sword of Demons" contradicted immediately, proving that it was more of a know-it-all than a sword spirit.

"How do I know if you all really want to save the world or if you just appear to be good people on the surface but are actually wicked and deceitful?"

Bai Yan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it, his expression somewhat subtle. "In short, the chosen one has decided that we should cooperate more in the future, and you don't have the power to refuse."

"Not good! Not good!"

The Sword of Demons floated around the room, its voice filled with dissatisfaction.

You don't have a say in this.

Bai Yan smiled and reached out his hand, effortlessly grabbing the Sword of Demons in his hand!

It was just a small sword for a lower ranked Crown, easily captured in his hand!

"Surrender."

The Sword of Demons struggled and swiftly thrust towards Bai Yan without hesitation, but in the next moment, it realized it was futile.

As a result, it immediately surrendered!

"I was wrong! I was wrong! I beg for mercy, Mr. Keeper of Secrets! I won't dare anymore! Please spare me! W-weep!"

The voice of the little girl emerged, pleading, her voice soft and trembling. Even the fiercest person would no longer sense any malice.

Bai Yan lightly shook his head, his tone indifferent. "In fact, greed, hypocrisy, lust... these things have no meaning to you. It's just that your recently born soul is learning about the components that make you up."

"Sword of Demons," it is actually a composite entity of all the malice in this world.

In other words, it can also be called "the embodiment of all evil in the world."

But Bai Yan knew that even with such an existence, there was still a possibility to save the world.

The demonic sword remained silent for a long time before responding seriously, "I have no interest in understanding what you are saying. I just feel comfortable and exhilarated when doing these things!"

"I want to know, what benefits are there to joining your Babel Tower?" It spoke straightforwardly.

Bai Yan nodded and smiled.

"Indeed there are, that tremendous power, the great savior should have already bestowed it upon you."

"Just wait a little."

In the next moment, the demonic sword felt an unprecedented surge of immense power within its being.

It was enough to undergo a transformation!

As if being forged anew.

In just an instant, it became stronger, and new power extended from its very soul essence.

This power allows her to even bind the souls of living beings and keep them as her own lambs.

Just like a shepherd.

It's truly interesting.

Unfortunately, it knows that its power is insufficient and can only temporarily enslave up to three Crown level souls.

In order to gain more power, the demonic sword immediately capitulates and even tries to flatter.

“After the Savior, you will be my master! Edmond, no, from now on, you'll be my dear old dad! Dad! Tell me, who should we kill now? I really want to kill someone!"

The voice of the little girl saying these words made Bai Yan sigh.

This person is even worse than Maryse, in terms of both severity and this aspect.

But they have significant differences in their essence.

Bai Yan deeply understands this point.

Maryse is genuine, while the demonic sword is truly heartless!

Bai Yan nodded gently and said, "I know you don't have a name, so from today onwards, I'll call you 'Mushroom'."

His naming was utterly insincere!

——

“Alive again.”

the Scarlet Moon lay calmly on the bed.

Tatsumi City suffered devastating blows during the Doomsday Crisis, but the residences of the Blooded were protected by barriers and were not affected by the black radiance that erased one-third of the city, so they were only slightly damaged.

With the help of magic, it effortlessly fully recovered.

the Scarlet Moon looked up at the ceiling from the bed and fell silent once again.

She had just returned from the world after death, and her emotions inside were far from as calm as her appearance.

So, that's how the dimension of the dead was.

Although many books explicitly mention what the dimension of the dead is like, the Scarlet Moon has always believed in seeing as believing.

This time, she really died.

It's quite strange.

But it also makes people feel very uneasy...the Scarlet Moon hates the world after death. Originally, she wasn't afraid of death at all, but now she has a slight resistance.

If she could just vanish into thin air directly, it would be fine, but sinking forever in that kind of dimension is truly unacceptable.

But thinking about these things is actually unnecessary.

She doesn't have the right to "die" anymore!

That savior truly pulled on the chain and, via the collar, saved her time and time again!

“Ah!”

Lan Lan the otter suddenly crawled over, and just like usual, pounced on her chest and rubbed against her for some time, wanting to sleep.

“Good girl.”

the Scarlet Moon calmly caressed Lan Lan, silently recalling everything she had experienced during the Doomsday Crisis.

She remembered the ugly sight of herself after consuming the blood of the Profligate. At that time, she resembled a crazed, bloodthirsty monster, completely losing her sanity and her pride as a ruler.

“...”

Suddenly, the Scarlet Moon's complexion slightly changed, something was off.

“What's happening, my body..."

She wanted to drink blood again, a situation she had encountered before, but this time was different.

The desire to drink blood was hotter than ever before, and it seemed that ordinary blood could no longer satisfy the Scarlet Moon.

I really want it, want it, want it...

To drink Profligate's blood again!

The taste of that blood is indeed incredible, especially with its lingering aftertaste. Just thinking about it makes me want to have it again.

"What are you thinking about? the Scarlet Moon, don't abandon your pride!"

She closed her eyes and decided to sleep.

The Scarlet Moon never wants to become a pitiful and ugly beast again.

After a few minutes, the Scarlet Moon, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, furrowed her brows slightly and twisted her body restlessly.

"Feeling a bit uncomfortable..."

She didn't know how to describe it, but overall, she just wanted to drink that guy's blood again.

Maybe because she had sucked too much back then, now if she didn't have a little, it seemed like she would be very unhappy.

Very hungry.

Finally, the Scarlet Moon couldn't sit up calmly from the bed and felt somewhat incredulous about the changes in her mind and body.

"What's going on? How come his blood has created a dependency in me?"

Her tone was full of astonishment.

The essence of the Blooded's blood consumption was to obtain the power contained within the soul. As the Queen of the Blooded, the Scarlet Moon was well versed in this knowledge.

She knew that her current state was not normal.

The only explanation was... Profligate's soul was extremely special!

The Scarlet Moon bit her lip lightly. In reality, she was still very displeased with Profligate.

Not only because she had been deceived and betrayed by him.

But also, that expression of his, so calm and composed, made her feel like he deserved a beating just by looking at him!

Thinking back carefully, his soul power was an invaluable treasure that had made her stronger in more than one way.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to easily send Glofield, who was almost invincible, flying around.

"Damn it!"

The Scarlet Moon shook her head.

According to her standards of evaluating blood...

A hundred virgins couldn't compare to one "Profligate"!

Although it sounds strange, that's what it means.

"But I absolutely can't drink blood again. If I turn into a beast in front of that guy once more, I'll lose all my self-respect."

The Scarlet Moon shook her head and forced herself to lie down, clenching her teeth, determined not to think about the taste of Profligate's blood anymore.

He was the type of person who would record her ugly state!

However, just like how the more one wants to sleep, the more they suffer from insomnia, the Scarlet Moon only grew hungrier the more she tried not to think about it.

She tossed and turned on the bed, unable to stop the thought of drinking blood.

Or maybe, she should just go ahead and drink blood. After all, as a Blooded, it was only natural to consume blood... The terrifying thought deep within her heart made the Scarlet Moon feel a bit frightened of her instincts.

"Chitter, chitter!"

The otter Lan Lan felt curious on the side. What's wrong with her owner? Why does she look like she hasn't eaten enough?

Are you hungry?

Do you want to eat salmon?

[Queen of the Scarlet Moon, this is the power bestowed upon you.]

The Scarlet Moon, pondering over this, was taken aback for a moment. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the voice of a savior appeared in her mind.

She felt a warmth.

A golden light manifested within the Scarlet Moon, and endless spiritual power converged deep within her soul.

She had never experienced such a phenomenon before, and it was even beyond her imagination.

This was an impossible thing; how could someone possess boundless spiritual power?

Moreover, this power was so perfect and harmonious.

It seemed to be the source of all spiritual power!

“Hmm, a reward.”

“Another reward, what a good way to train a dog.”

the Scarlet Moon instinctively sneered.

However, she had to admit that if it weren't for Babel Tower and the Savior, everything she cared about would have been destroyed and lost forever.

At this point, she could only mutter softly, "Cooperating with you reluctantly is possible, but don't think I'll become your dog!"

Soon, the Scarlet Moon discovered something remarkable.

She realized... even though no one had told her, she knew that after attaining "infinity," she would no longer become bloodthirsty even when feeding.

In other words, from now on, she could indulge in bloodthirst without worry.

She no longer needed to worry about becoming a repulsive, hideous monster devoid of dignity.

She remained silent, but her heart was filled with immense gratitude towards the Savior.

She had been helped so much, and the Savior had truly saved the world, needing no further doubt about their motives.

the Scarlet Moon also realized that it would be mean-spirited of her to continue having a complete disdain for the Savior.

If Bai Yan checked her character card, he would find that the Scarlet Moon's loyalty had been raised to 7.

the Scarlet Moon sat on the bed for a long time, finally making up her mind and sighing.

"Infinity" was the final straw that moved her.

For the Scarlet Moon, gaining "infinity" was like a long-time alcoholic suddenly discovering that drinking alcohol would have no negative effects on their health or behavior!

At this moment, all she could think about was feeding on blood!

"That's the only option... but only this once, I won't do it again in the future."

the Scarlet Moon took out her phone, clumsily tinkered with it for a while, and finally sent a message to "Profligate" on the "Cybertyrant" forum.

"I want to see you, immediately."

The forum was quite lively now, with the recently revived members of Babel Tower engaging in discussions. However, the bloodthirsty Scarlet Moon was indifferent to all of it, simply staring at Profligate's avatar.

Finally, "Profligate" sent a message on the forum.

"Okay."

For some reason, the Scarlet Moon felt a sense of relief.

If "Profligate" had avoided her and refused to let her feed...

She even felt that she would go insane!
