Chapter 493:
Tatsumi City.
In the leafy kingdom, inside the grand hall of the Leaf King’s mansion.
In reality, everyone in the Air Alliance knows that the Leaf King has many wives, totaling over a hundred.
But everyone didn’t think it was strange at all, after all, the beloved Ms. Peggie had an even larger harem, and… genders didn’t matter to her.
In reality, the Leaf King’s household had a great number of servants, to the point of being astonishing.
However, the servants who should have always been in the hall had completely disappeared at that moment.
Inside the hall, it was dim and silent, not even a trace of human presence could be felt.
An invisible gloom enveloped the mansion. freёwebnoѵel.com
The space warped for a moment, and suddenly, in the hall, the figure of an old man appeared.
That was an old man with snow-white hair, a strong build, wearing a black suit, and with a remarkably straight posture.
In his eyes, there gleamed a certain sparkle that never faded away.
Determination and strength were the best words to describe him.
He was the hero in the hearts of the Night Watchers, the admired idol of everyone, and the legendary leader of justice in the Air Alliance.
Demon Hunt General Agency,director.
"Blade Master" Austin.
After he arrived at the dim and empty hall, he came to a stop and remained silent, calmly gazing at the gradually darkening sky outside.
This was his own choice.
Everything was done for the sake of the Air Alliance.
Suddenly.
It started to rain.
Pouring rain poured down, thunder rumbled, and the ground gradually became covered in a shimmering layer of water.
"Someone arrived before me."
Suddenly, the voice of a young man resounded.
There was a hint of laughter in the tone.
He stood behind Austin, the Sword Saint, and slowly spoke, "In fact, I was very surprised by your sudden invitation. I hadn’t expected it at all. It is quite unexpected for your master to harbor such thoughts."
"He is not my owner."
Austin shook his head, still possessing the pride of a sharp sword. He said coldly, "Do not misunderstand, I have always acted according to my own will."
The young man only smiled.
"People in World often think that they are acting according to their own will, but they don’t realize that their so-called ‘self’ is often influenced by the outside world, changing and ultimately distorting."
"At the end of the day, whether free will truly exists is still a question that needs to be explored."
The young man speaking was none other than the famous historical figure, the Son of God, Amicio.
He was exceedingly tall, exuding a captivating charm from head to toe, capable of easily enchanting most men and women.
Even Austin didn’t want to directly face this man, so as to avoid any disturbances.
By Amicio’s side stood a pure and serene woman, with sapphire eyes, named Noa.
She didn’t say a word, just stood there silently, pondering why the man invited by the host was not present.
That man, Austin, along with his own master, did have a chance of winning.
In the next moment, a terrifying aura made Noa tremble.
Another "person" appeared in the hallway.
No, this was not a human being, but a black silhouette. It materialized in the middle of the hallway, and the unsettling darkness made Austin furrow his brow.
Noa’s face was full of fear, and even started trembling subconsciously.
Amicio gently placed his hand on Noa’s shoulder, instantly calming her trembling.
He smiled and said, "Night Watcher, I am truly amazed to witness the day you team up with the mighty Nullify. It’s like witnessing a wedding between a cat and a mouse."
Austin remained expressionless, not saying a word.
The dark silhouette wriggled, emitting a raspy and unpleasant sound that deeply unsettled anyone who heard it.
"Amicio… why haven’t you died yet…"
In a voice filled with coldness, Nullify said, "We all have a common enemy, and it’s normal to temporarily join forces. Over countless millennia, I have witnessed the scenes where enemies become friends and friends become enemies too many times."
Amicio smiled and squinted his eyes, saying, "Nullify, you continue to be cautious even in great endeavors. Surprisingly, you have only split off an incarnation."
"If I were to appear in person, Noah’s God would immediately step forward to eliminate me."
Even though mocked and ridiculed by Amicio, who has been alive for countless years, Nullify showed no emotional response.
But whenever it thinks of the previous failure and the injuries it suffered, anger wells up within it!
The soul was wounded, making it become weak.
It would take at least several hundred years for it to fully recover.
Babel Tower, unforgivable!
After a while, a figure slowly walked in from outside.
She was a slightly petite girl, dressed in a white robe.
She walked into the hall, not saying a word.
"Silence, we meet again. I never expected that you are still alive."
Amicio spoke again, smiling.
He knew that during this time, Dead Silence had suffered a double blow from the Dark Light Church and the Babel Tower, and had almost been wiped out within Noah’s realm.
Silence last ventured to Annottales, engaging in a life-or-death battle with the incarnation of the Dark Light Church using the "Ruin-level Relic". In the end, the outcome was severe injuries and a wounded soul.
During the time when she didn’t appear, many people speculated that Silence might have died.
Clearly, the truth was not so.
As for Silence’s purpose for coming here, it was actually quite simple… Everyone present had a common goal.
Silence and Nullify both experienced failure under the interference of that organization.
That mysterious presence behind the scenes seemed all-knowing, like a divine being that held the threads of fate.
Instead of being constantly attacked and torn apart, joining forces to counterattack undoubtedly seemed like a more right course of action.
Silence stood in the corner, not uttering a word, keeping their head down, seemingly wanting no connection with the others.
Austin and Nullify remained silent, neither uttering a word.
Nora dared not even take a breath in the grand hall. At this very moment, any of the powerful individuals present could easily end her life, perhaps with just a single hand.
Only Amicio chuckled and said, "Throughout history, a single apocalypse can influence the future of a nation. And the one capable of gathering all of us here, is none other than this person."
"That guy, is he still not showing up?"
"The person who gathered you all together wasn’t me."
The sudden sound that appeared in the hall made Silence have to raise his head and look over expressionlessly.
At some unknown moment, the man with deep eyes had already stood among the crowd.
Like a lion descending from the clouds.
He will always be the center of everything.
"World," said Xia.
Xia continued, "You came here because of the Babel Tower, as you all know that relying solely on your individual power, there is no chance of victory against the Babel Tower. While the Babel Tower grows rapidly and appears unpredictably, it has become an inescapable nightmare for all of you."
"Everyone understood that if they didn’t get rid of it quickly, they would be destroyed by it sooner or later."
He added, "The dark Rock Morgan will also cooperate with us."
Xia was right. Only the antagonists in stories are taken down one by one. In the real world, the bad guys are not at all opposed to the benefits that come from unity and solidarity.
"No, I am different from you all."
Amicio interrupted and raised his hands in helplessness. He said, "At least for now, I can’t really be considered an enemy of the Babel Tower."
Xia looked at the other person and the charm of the Son of God was beyond the limits of life, yet it had no effect on him.
"But you will still come, you won’t miss anything about the Babel Tower."
Whenever something significant happened in history, the presence of Amicio would never be missing.
Perhaps this was his destiny.
Unlike his mother, Fate’s Strings Master, who always passively observed the twists and turns of destiny without actively getting involved,
Amicio, the Son of God, would intervene in the workings of fate, observing its course at the most tumultuous part of the river.
Of course, Nullify, who excels at hiding in the shadows, would be puzzled as to why this person hasn’t met an untimely demise yet.
Amicio gazed at the man before him, his impression of Xia deeply rooted from their past encounter, astonished by the man’s dominance and overwhelming power.
"I’m actually very curious, why did you decide to become enemies with the Babel Tower? I remember, weren’t you allies? Last time, you even fought with me for the people from Babel Tower."
Xia remained silent, walking towards the entrance of the hall.
He waved his hand.
The dark rain clouds instantly disappeared, and the sky over Tatsumi City became incredibly clear. However, the accumulated water on the ground didn’t disappear just yet.
Even nature itself could not defy the will of this man.
"You will soon understand the answer to this question… From the beginning, Babel Tower and I were destined to be enemies."
A strong black mist appeared around Xia.
Amicio suddenly understood everything.
So that’s how it was.
You’re not him after all.
How interesting!
It was really so fascinating!
That was a different kind of black mist from the Babel Tower, exactly the black mist that Bai Yan saw in the spiritual realm of the Blank Fire.
If the Black-Pupiled Lord of Heart City were to be reborn, he would immediately recognize it. This terrifying black mist is the very symbol of his master, the "Shadow Sovereign."
That "person" was undoubtedly the true master behind the Air Alliance, the Leaf King, who was insignificant in front of him. As for Mr. World, he was unaware of this.
In the past, it was also because of this black mist that Xia Neng was able to easily regain his ability to move in the spiritual realm created by the gods.
It embodied the purest form of evil!
A Ruin-level Relic in the shape of a mirror slowly materialized, landing in the palm of "Xia’s" hand.
"At this moment, it is the perfect time for us to launch our attack. It has already shown me the possibilities of the future… Right now, Babel Tower is most occupied with its own affairs."
His voice was steady, filled with determination and confidence:
"The plan was very simple. First,"
"Destroying the Giant Hive, slaughtering those who sought refuge within and relied upon them, causing the members of the Babel Tower to no longer escape through the dark fog, but instead choose to fall into the trap."
