I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Completely transform the Giant Hive into a refuge and base for the Babel Tower?

Everyone looked slightly surprised, but then they all felt that it was very normal.

The Giant Hive had truly become the possession of the Babel Tower, and as long as it could serve its purpose, the very pragmatic Savior would definitely make it work.

Except for Evie, who was new to the scene, everyone present, including Nian, had experienced the torment of Babel Tower’s training and knew that the Respected Savior was a great being who knew how to exploit others.

Amy, sitting in her wheelchair, smiled and asked first:

"So, what is Babel Tower planning to do? If they need help with calculations or manpower, I actually have many good kids here who can lend a hand… in fact, we have already been almost fully exposed in the Ring City, so it would be safer for them to leave the Ring City. This is also a selfish thought of mine."

Even though the Ring City was momentarily hesitant to provoke the Omnic and Cyberbeasts in the mezzanine area due to Babel Tower’s intimidation, Amy still worried about an outbreak of conflict.

She never thought Rock Morgan was a good person.

If they could gain greater benefits and ensure safety by aligning with the Outer God, these capitalists would not hesitate for more than a second.

Donning her golden knight armor, the statuesque Aurora sat in her seat, her brows furrowed. Unable to contain her curiosity, she couldn’t help but inquire:

"I wonder, will this really work?"

She paused for a moment, her confusion evident. "Forgive my bluntness, but in a world where power rests with the mighty, ordinary people don’t have much significance. Even if we transform the city’s giant hive as you mentioned, what difference would it make? Are you suggesting that the collective efforts of ordinary people within the giant hive could pose a threat to the Apocalypse’s formidable beings?"

The profligate Bai Yan explained, "Inside the Giant Hive, there exists advanced civilization’s special technology in annulus, which can indeed have an impact on the beings of the Apocalypse, even those stronger than them. It is easy to defend and hard to attack… And what we aim to do is not to rely on ordinary people wielding firearms in battle, but rather to harness the power of their beliefs and vitality."

Everyone was taken aback.

Alan couldn’t contain himself any longer and eagerly asked, "Wait a minute? I understand the power of belief, but what exactly do you mean by harnessing the vitality of ordinary people?"

The Profligate Bai Yan answered without hesitation, "It means exactly what it sounds like, extracting the vitality of ordinary people to aid the Babel Tower."

"Is this…?"

Mu Ling didn’t feel quite comfortable after listening, and she looked at the Savior who had remained silent all along.

She knew in her heart that Mr. Profligate and Mr. Keeper of Secrets might better represent the will of the Savior than herself, understanding the thoughts of the Savior…

"I object," Nian, who had just arrived, spoke up for the first time, in a calm tone.

"After hearing my explanation, you can think about it again."

Profligate Bai Yan looked at the young girl and smiled, saying, "The Babel Tower, constructed within the Giant Hive’s barrier, indeed absorbs the life force of regular people, but it doesn’t kill them."

"How far would that be possible?" Amy asked, leaning in with curiosity.

The profligate, Bai Yan, continued his explanation, saying, "The name of this barrier is ‘Source of Life,’ and it will not easily claim anyone’s life."

It was a mysterious knowledge that Bai Yan obtained randomly from an advanced projection.

In a multiverse, there exists a mighty magical civilization based on slavery, where the people have relied on life force as the most fundamental source of energy for countless years.

In each city of the mighty magical civilization, there exists a widely used barrier called "Jinnaen," which translates to mean "Source of Life."

With the power of the barrier, the people of the city, from slaves to free citizens, had to contribute a certain portion of life force to the magical nobles every day.

A portion was used to sustain the city’s operations, while the remaining part was transformed into spiritual energy, becoming a powerful reliance for the magical nobles.

Bai Yan will also create this immoral barrier inside the Giant Hive, continuously converting people’s life force into spiritual energy, supplying it to the members of the Babel Tower, so that each member can have a youthful version of "Infinity".

Without a doubt.

This was an unethical behavior.

But it didn’t matter, his morality was very flexible.

Bai Yan stared into Nian’s eyes, realizing that the city she spoke of was not a sacrifice, not livestock, but the place this young girl had been desperately trying to save for many years.

He said calmly, "I don’t want to deceive you, but to put it this way… After the formation of the barrier, every major battle we engage in, the ordinary people in the Giant Hive basically have to endure a lifespan consumption equivalent to several years per person."

Nian’s expression grew increasingly solemn.

Bai Yan sighed and continued, "But if we were to lose in the Doomsday Crisis, everyone in the Giant Hive, no, people from all over World, would perish in an instant."

"I think this is a great deal," Maryse was the first to raise her hand and express her opinion.

The half-elf girl spoke frankly, "Why should others bleed and sacrifice while I enjoy my own life? I believe it’s only fair for ordinary people to contribute in this battle for survival."

Mu Ling remained silent for a moment, then she turned to Nian and said earnestly, "The Babel Tower is an organization that strives for ideals, but it is not an organization that achieves ideals through naivety."

"I believe… the Respected Savior’s decision is right and necessary."

"Mmm, sacrifices are sometimes inevitable," nodded Aurora, her expression calm and resolute.

She didn’t find it to be a difficult tram problem; instead, she saw it as something natural, "In the midst of a world crisis, it is everyone’s duty to contribute their best efforts."

Alan furrowed his brow, but he didn’t voice any objections.

Because the Demon Hunt Agency of Tatsumi City had previously done similar things.

The Book of Prophecies.

His age had long taught him that everything comes with a price.

Nian looked at everyone present. The slime waved a tentacle at her, and no one else spoke.

She calmly said, "I won’t object anymore. It is indeed the right thing to do… but I also hope that we don’t fall into the deep abyss of being consumed by power and desire. People often struggle to distinguish the boundaries."

The Scarlet Moon smirked, wanting to speak up.

She wanted to convey that everyone present was strong, and that no one would easily be swayed by power… but she couldn’t find the right words.

In fact, after Bai Yan had issued the "gag order" to her, he even felt that the Scarlet Moon’s charm seemed to have increased. Perhaps, this was because she possessed a certain trait that all perfect women had.

Knowing when to keep quiet.

The Scarlet Moon happened to be the kind of person who made others feel uncomfortable with every word she spoke.

Staying silent all the time made her perfectly flawless.

"How can we gather the power of faith?" Amy asked, seeing that the previous topic had come to an end, so she continued to inquire.

ProfligateBai Yan nodded and smiled, continuing to speak, "Everyone in the Giant Hive will receive the imprint of the Babel Tower, which will provide the power of faith, known as volition, when they pray. This will become an important force for future plans."

After pondering for a moment, she asked Profligate Bai Yan, "I know that the Almighty has been gathering the power of faith for the Ultimate Ritual of ascension to godhood. Is the Babel Tower also for this purpose?"

Bai Yan smiled and teased, "Perhaps."

Afterward, he looked at Ganis earnestly and said, "I have a proposal, but I would like to hear your opinion… the Fist of Duel."

Ganis also turned to Bai Yan, feeling hesitant, and asked, "What is it?"

Bai Yan smiled warmly, as if he already knew what Ganis was thinking.

"I think you will carefully consider this proposal."

After the meeting, Maryse returned to her own home, stepping into her spacious bedroom painted in pink.

At once, she saw her maid, Irena, who had been eagerly awaiting her arrival for quite some time.

"Miss Maryse, you worked hard. Did you just complete a task at the Babel Tower?"

"No, Irena, it’s not a mission but a meeting… actually, I have something important to talk to you about."

Maryse shook her head and said, "Have you ever thought about leaving this city?"

"Go away?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Irena paused for a moment, then realized that Maryse wasn’t just joking around.

Maryse nodded and continued, "Yes, not only can you leave, but you can also take your loved ones with you… This city is not completely safe after all. We can go to a safer place."

Although people living in the Giant Hive will lose lifespan in the future, for Maryse, it is not difficult to buy alchemical medicine to replenish the lives of Irena and her loved ones.

Irena fell silent.

Although Tatsumi City has indeed gone through many changes in the past year, and many people have already moved away, it takes a lot of courage for her entire family, who have been living here for generations, to leave.

Irena couldn’t help but ask, "The Imperial Guards and the Demon Hunt General Agency are here, and there are also many strong individuals from the Babel Tower in Tatsumi City. Even if there is danger in Tatsumi City, shouldn’t we be afraid?"

"No, actually, just a while ago at the meeting, Mr. Profligate and I had a long conversation…"

Maryse hesitated to speak, knowing that those words could only be discussed within the confines of the Babel Tower, but couldn’t be directly uttered in Tatsumi City.

In the Babel Tower, the only thing one could truly trust was themselves.

The Imperial Guards of the empire, the central agency of the Demon Hunt Agency, they may not necessarily be without problems.

Sometimes, certain individuals don’t even realize that they have "issues".
