Maryse stared coldly at Merete Chambers.
"Witch, is it you?"
Aurora shook her head and said, "So many years have passed, what’s the point of coming back now?"
Everyone’s attitude towards witches, in fact, couldn’t be considered as good.
In fact, during Mu Ling’s reign over the Babel Tower, Merete Chambers had already partially distanced herself from the tower, and rarely returned to Noah.
She didn’t obey Mu Ling.
Especially Alan, his face looked very unpleasant, almost glaring angrily. The grudge from over a decade ago, he had never forgotten.
If it weren’t for this person being useful to the Babel Tower and also considered a companion to their companions, Alan would never have wanted to be in the same room with her, nor engage in any conversation.
Alan couldn’t help himself and said, "Merete Chambers, why did you suddenly come back? What do you really want to do? Are you planning to continue using us?""You have set your sights on the remaining value of the Babel Tower, haven’t you?" he raised an eyebrow.
Facing an extremely unfavorable situation, Merete Chambers simply smiled, showing no hint of complaint or anger.
She calmly said, "Don’t be so aggressive, Alan."
"Hmph," Alan was no longer falling for her tricks.
In the beginning, Alan completely trusted Merete Chambers and had no idea about the terrifying true identity of this witch.
But now, he had changed a lot compared to before.
Having experienced more things and met more people, he had even held a position of authority for many years, looking down upon others from above.
Merete Chambers didn’t care at all about what others thought, her smile remained the same, shining brightly like a blooming flower.
She smiled and said, "Speaking of which, what has happened in World of Noah while I was away? Why are there so many missing participants in the Babel Tower meeting?"
Nian couldn’t help but let out a sigh, while Aurora remained silent for a while. Finally, she spoke and said, "Of course, it’s because many things have happened over the past decade."
Merete Chambers nodded gently and said, "Well then, tell me, the most important thing… What happened to Mu Ling? Where is that girl? It doesn’t seem like she would casually abandon everything and leave. Is this darkness her doing?"
Inas gazed at the woman, lost in thought.
Why did Mom and Aunt never mention her?
Everyone was also very cautious of this woman, wondering if she was truly a member of the Babel Tower.
Nino remained silent, not saying a word.
"In fact, here’s how it really happened," it was Evie who spoke up to explain the situation.
Evie looked at Merete Chambers and said,
"In the tower of Babel… many years ago, after that fateful day, we lost contact with the Savior, and the ownership of the tower was temporarily entrusted to Mu Ling."
Merete Chambers nodded and said, "Yes, I know all about these things."
Evie continued, "Back then, the Savior sacrif-iced their own power to seal away countless Outer Gods. But the followers of the Outer Gods, those endless hordes of Spawn, still exist and they eagerly desire to free the Outer Gods… and seek revenge upon our world."
She paused for a moment and said, "There wasn’t much time left, and a great crisis once again enveloped World of Noah."
The witch nodded again and said, "I guessed it right, it’s the spawn who worship the Outer Gods among them, causing this great crisis."
"Yes, it is the fallen deity."
The fallen deity.
Specifically, it refers to the corrupted deities in the many universes who have chosen to fall and become tainted by worshipping the Outer God.
They have mostly lost their sanity, falling into madness, incredibly wicked and dangerous.
The Steel Throne, which was once willingly embarked upon this path.
Dozens of fallen deities relentlessly besieged the spatial barrier of Noah’s world. They paid no heed to the counterattack of World’s consciousness, frantically desiring to destroy Noah.
Just as Noah teetered on the brink, Mu Ling stepped forward.
With the mighty power of the Babel Tower, and using up various powerful tools, she astonishingly single-handedly slayed ten fallen deities in succession!
The remaining fallen deities were all amazed and filled with fear, so they united and attempted to defeat Mu Ling.
Among them, there were two fallen deities of the high-level divine rank, whose power was extremely formidable. Even with the assistance of the Babel Tower, Mu Ling found it difficult to contend against so many powerful beings.
Finally, she made a decision.
Transforming herself into the night sky, she repaired the cracks and strengthened the barriers of Noah’s world.
We will keep the fallen deities outside!
However, those opportunistic Spawn who managed to enter, not being strongly vigilant by the already occupied world, continued to arrive in Noah’s world one after another, causing a tremendous crisis that nearly brought about the end of World.
And so, a new era that lasted for more than a decade began.
Noah’s people endured hardships under the cover of darkness.
But they held onto their beliefs with unwavering faith.
"In these years, Red Moon, Old Mike, the Magic Sword has gone missing, and the Scarlet Moon has also encountered a tremendous upheaval…almost to the point of madness."
"Oh, I understand now. Hehe, you’ve all worked so hard all these years…"
The witch listened to the entire story calmly, poured herself a cup of red tea, and started savoring it.
"So, what is the purpose of this Babel Tower meeting?"
Alan finally spoke up, "For two things."
"The first thing is Amy’s major proposal. We have decided to send away most of the Noah people, at least to get them out of here. In fact, there is no point in them staying."
"Yes, this is what I think…"
The little machine made a sound.
"In recent times, I sent millions of Omnic to different universes for research. One particular group of Omnic soldiers got stuck in a universe with very slow time flow for thousands of years. Finally, they developed a device that could transfer the Noah people over a large area."
"So, I hope to transport ninety-nine percent of the existing Noah people to other universes, instead of staying here… the chances of ordinary people surviving here normally are actually getting lower, Mu Ling’s power is also not unlimited, fallen deities will come in one after another."
Everyone fell into deep thought, until Aurora finally spoke up:
"I agree, there’s nothing wrong with that."
"I agree too," Evie nodded.
At that moment, Inas suddenly cut in, saying, "Perhaps, some people would like to stay?"
Everyone looked at her, and Alan nodded. "So let’s respect his wish, we won’t force anyone to stay… Although I know that most of you probably will stay, right?"
"Yes."
Kaluoer nodded, her face expressionless.
"Ordinary people don’t have any use in this world. Instead, they become a burden."
Aurora suddenly said, "Which universe should we move to? My Continent of Zeuo cannot accommodate such a large population."
Amy explained, "Don’t worry, it’s not your place, but rather a world I have already chosen."
Alan clapped his hands, signaling that this matter should come to an end. It was indeed unexpected that nobody opposed it.
He calmly looked at Maryse and expressed her thoughts, "The second matter is… We’d like to ask everyone, who has found any information on how to revive the Savior? Even if it’s just a little information, after being apart for so many years, surely someone has made progress, right?"
Everyone fell silent.
They believed that the Spirit Queen and Alan, who had called for the meeting, would personally possess such information.
But they had not expected things to turn out this way.
He was simply pleading with everyone.
But…
No matter how I thought about it, it felt very difficult!
Just as everyone was at a loss for words, Nino suddenly stepped forward, gazing at the witch, while Merete Chambers smiled at him.
"I have."
Nino exclaimed,
"In the past, I received information about the ‘Final Stele’."
"That is a Ruin-level Relic belonging to the mightiest Outer God, ‘The End’. Perhaps, it is also the most powerful Ruin-level Relic in the multiverse."
"As long as we obtain it, there is hope to turn things around."
