Chapter 405
Chapter 405
High above in the underground, at the "ceiling," immense fear was steadily gathering.
Both Bai Yan and Mu Ling could feel that a mighty force was about to descend.
That was a terrifying presence that Ming, the weakest demigod, couldn't compare to, something even more frightening.
In the high skies, a dark whirlpool kept gathering, growing larger and larger. The power it contained was so immense that it seemed exaggerated and unimaginable!
"What is that?"
Mu Ling took a deep breath, feeling her mind on the verge of giving up, but still she gazed at the sky with unwavering strength.
Just then, Bai Yan reached out and grasped her arm, giving a faint smile.
In this situation, he still managed to smile.
"Don't be afraid."
He said calmly and confidently,"We, will not lose."
We will definitely not die here.
Mu Ling also looked at Profligate senior, nodding gently, and said, "Actually, I have always believed that we are not the strongest beings in the multiverse. Facing the terrifying Outer God, we are just strong ants. But with the guidance of the Savior, we can definitely fill the dark world with hope again."
She took a deep breath and said seriously, "Even the Outer God cannot destroy our future!"
"Yes, believe in the Savior."
Bai Yan said quietly.
His voice remained calm, yet filled with unwavering conviction, as he continued speaking.
"Oh, the Savior who carries people's hopes, will surely lead World out of despair and fear, bringing hope."
"He would respond to those who have always believed in him, no longer letting people cry and feel sad. No matter what difficulties and obstacles come his way, he will continue walking this path."
Bai Yan spoke these words with determination and emotion.
Though he had not yet reached the Apocalypse, at this moment he realized what his path to the Apocalypse would be.
At first, he thought that he had changed the people of the Babel Tower.
But now, Bai Yan suddenly understood.
Their will, in fact, changed themselves.
Finally, a colossal monster appeared in the sky, revealing its enormous figure.
That was Hedoras, the high-ranking Spawn who served the Outer God, Black Abyss Deep Sea. He was a desperate spreader of despair, a destroyer of civilizations, and a presence that countless worlds greatly feared...
The meaning of the name is "Lord of Fear!"
Hedoras was like an incredibly massive, at least a kilometer long and wide, black cloud of mist.
In the sea of clouds, filled with screams, wails, and cries, countless specters roiled within the mist, their faces contorted in monstrous anguish.
Any creature touched by Hedoras would instantly be filled with immense fear, and because of this terrifying power, their souls would be drained away.
It approached the two individuals below at an unstoppable speed, hurtling downwards with great force!
If left unchecked, it would eventually touch the ground, then consume every creature in the underworld, draining their souls.
Bai Yan felt no sense of fear at all.
He simply took a deep breath and calmly lifted the "Gorgeous Moonshine" in his hand, soaring into the sky.
He was fearless and unaffected by fear, curses, and other negative effects... In simple terms, he didn't experience most of the negative states.
In other words, even if the Lord of Fear before him was incredibly powerful, its power wouldn't affect him at all.
Since that was the case, he had the qualification to challenge this thing!
Mu Ling gazed at the figure of Senior Profligate.
Watching him disappear into the dark sea of clouds, she wanted to follow closely behind and fight alongside him!
But in the next moment, a deafening roar erupted from the dark sea of clouds.
The entire dark sea of clouds scattered apart, spreading out in all directions. Mu Ling instinctively used her weapon to protect herself.
"Um."
Mu Ling didn't close her eyes, but her chest kept rising and falling. Intense fear made her soul tremble, and she could faint at any moment.
Don't even mention fighting, even trying to stand became an incredibly difficult task.
(Translated by Gravity Tales 😩)
We must not fall!
Once she couldn't hold on here, her soul would be drained by the Lord of Fear!
Her willpower, strong as steel, came into play at this moment as she gritted her teeth and persisted.
The man was fighting.
A powerful force kept bursting in the sea of dark clouds!
Even if she couldn't see, Mu Ling's senses told her very clearly how difficult and intense this battle was.
Keep going.
She quietly said to herself in her heart.
After an unknown period of time, the black sea of clouds in front of Mu Ling gradually dissipated, and the almost incessant horrifying screams and wails vanished without a trace.
Finally, everything returned to its original state.
"Is it over?"
She, covered in sweat from head to toe, saw that man again.
Bai Yan sat on the ground, feeling a bit exhausted. He held in his hand the fading blade of moonlight.
He smiled as he looked at the young girl.
Just like the countless times Bai Yan silently watched her.
He said calmly, "All the problems have been resolved... You can go and do what you want to do now, free the slaves in Ironcore Fortress."
"Thank you."
Mu Ling expressed her gratitude once again, but instead of leaving immediately, she approached to observe the situation of the elder Profligate.
Mu Ling waited until she was certain that he was not injured before deciding to leave this place.
"Senior Profligate, please wait for me here. It will probably take a long time..."
"Um, I understand."
Mu Ling walked away.
Bai Yan let out a sigh.
"Actually, she is a quite thoughtful girl..."
Bai Yan was truly exhausted. His previous opponent was incredibly powerful, and even though he was immune to the abilities of the "Lord of Fear," Herados, he still had to go through a difficult battle.
The endless specters kept draining his spiritual energy with each attack. If an ordinary superhuman were to experience it, they would instantly perish, and even a typical demigod would be eradicated.
But Bai Yan possesses "Infinity".
His spiritual power could replenish endlessly.
In fact, if it weren't for the power of "Infinity," he would have likely been worn down and killed by the other party.
But he was truly the nemesis of Hedoras, the Lord of Fear.
When Mu Ling was out of sight, he completely dropped his guard and lay down on the ground, slowly regaining his strength.
"Ah... The situation here can only be described as coming to an end, with more problems being revealed."
Both the restlessness of "Nullify" and the secrets concealed by the Leaf King remained etched in Bai Yan's mind.
He waited for a long time, until he fully regained his strength, and even ate a little something right there.
Then, Mu Ling finally returned from afar.
Bai Yan immediately stood up from Deep Blue World and dusted off his clothes.
"How are you?"
"I don't know what the future of those liberated slaves will be..."
Mu Ling fell silent for a moment, shaking her head as she said, "In reality, all I can do is to eliminate the Doomsday Race. I am unable to bring more for the slaves."
"They were trapped in a deep abyss, unable to experience true safety and freedom."
Bai Yan thought for a moment and asked, "So, do you want to take them to World of Noah?"
Mu Ling fell silent again.
This time, she thought for a long while, but in the end, she shook her head.
"I am just a crime-hunter."
Mu Ling gazed into Bai Yan's eyes and continued, "To protect World and drive away evil... that's all I can do. Leading thousands of slaves to build a home is not something suitable for me."
"Yes," she replied.
Mu Ling is simply a crime-hunter.
She, along with Ganis, the Scarlet Moon, and Aurora, was different. Not in the past, not in the future, and never a leader.
To protect the innocent and sever wicked souls.
From the very beginning, all Mu Ling had to do was the simplest of tasks.
"Okay, let's go back," he said.
Bai Yan smiled and took out the "Black Remnant". Then, he extended his arm, intending for Mu Ling to hold onto it.
However, Mu Ling tilted her head and explained very seriously:
"We don't need to hurry and stick together anymore as we return to World of Noah."
"Um, okay."
Bai Yan withdrew his arm slightly, feeling a bit sulky.
Let's go home, Mu Ling.

Meanwhile.
Inside the Babel Tower, Bai Yan's face was filled with a smile. On his cell phone screen, a new "Babel Tower" game notification had just popped up.
Mission accomplished!
"Yay, I can summon again, how great!"
The rewards for missions in the Otherworld were quite high. During this time, Bai Yan had once again accumulated one thousand Source Energy Points.
Bai Yan decided to do a ten-pull summon in "Different Dimensions" first, and then a ten-pull summon in "Fate."
"No matter if it's a witch or an innocent singer... at least one of you should step forward, I really need some support, a healer... just don't come close to me."
Bai Yan murmured to himself.
Next, up ahead, there was a summon awaiting.
So, a ten-summon is very useful!
