Chapter 815: The Tower of Babel
Hearing Lilith's words, Zhang Tuohai felt a pang of sadness.
Things were developing well and quietly, and they even took the opportunity to instigate a civil war among the demigods. Now, with one dead and two seriously injured, the situation is very good.
Zhang Tuohai had originally planned to take this opportunity to develop quietly, but in the end, he made enemies all over the world in a flash.
However, he will not retreat.
As a latecomer, he would naturally be suppressed by the joint efforts of those early vested interests, and it was a path that would be hostile to the whole world. This was his realization as a latecomer.
It is impossible for him to stop moving forward because he is afraid of being suppressed by others. History has proven that even if you lay down your weapons, others' malice towards you will not decrease. Instead, it will become more severe because you have no weapons.
Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is within the range of the cannon.
If Zhang Tuohai wants to survive in this world surrounded by wolves, he can only sharpen the sword in his hand and kill all beings that want to harm him, no matter if they are demigods or gods. Whoever wants to block his way will be killed. Only in this way can he survive.
"We are all enemies now, right?" Zhang Tuohai nodded, "Then we won't have to worry about anything when we take action next time."
"Don't worry, I will always stand by your side. I also want to see what you will look like after being infused with Essence."
Lilith said beside her.
"Before, the person closest to this goal was the old Heavenly Master. Now, it's you."
"I will be by your side too." Zhao Wanwan stood aside, burying her head in Zhang Tuohai's chest.
"I will stand on the top of this world and see what the scenery is like there."
Zhang Tuohai nodded and said.
"By the way, will the demigods know about the promotion in the fairy tale world?" Zhang Tuohai asked Lilith. This was related to the time he could use next.
"I can use technical means to cover it up, but the delay will not be long. In a month at most, the fluctuations of the fairy tale world's promotion will spread throughout the entire Chaos Sea, and those demigods and gods will know the news. You must prepare your plans early." Lilith said.
"A month? That's about enough."
Zhang Tuohai calculated that it had only been two months since he entered the survival game, and he had already reached his current level. In another month, he should be able to reach another level, maybe even become a true god. At the very least, he could at least reduce the strength of those demigods.
Just as Zhang Tuohai was planning, the projection of Xiao Ai appeared beside Zhang Tuohai.
"Commander, Miss Alice has finished cleaning up the Babel Tower base and would like to invite you over."
Before this, Alice had been leading many self-propelled machines to clean up the ruins of the Tower of Babel. After about a week of hard work, they had finally finished cleaning it up .
"I'll go over and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tuohai immediately withdrew from the fairy tale world and returned to the Heavenly Library. Then, he passed through the portal of the Heavenly Library and arrived at the base of the Tower of Babel.
At this time, the Babel Tower base destroyed by the Soul Devouring Beast has been cleared out, the ruins and building debris have been cleared away, and the big pit created by the Soul Devouring Beast has also been filled. At this time, the original huge Babel Tower base has disappeared, replaced by a vast plain. In the center of the plain is a monument made of obsidian. There are no words on it, only a Tower of Babel.
Alice was standing in front of the monument at this time.
"I'm here." Zhang Tuohai came to Alice.
"Help me find the real culprit behind this and kill him. I can pay any price." Alice grabbed the corner of Zhang Tuohai's clothes and said, "I know this is difficult, but I have no one I can trust anymore."
A week ago, she was the captain of the Second Action Team of Babel Tower, the largest resistance organization in the Chaos Sea. She had more than a dozen masters with quantum crystal weapons behind her. The base's technological reserves were also very advanced, integrating the core technologies of dozens of worlds. The overall technical level was not inferior to some veteran demigods.
However, all of this came to naught a week ago.
Even his soul was devoured by the soul-devouring beast, leaving him no chance of resurrection.
Alice felt powerless when she thought of all this. If it weren't for the belief in revenge that supported her, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until today.
"Don't worry, the mastermind behind this has been found. It's the demigod Hermes. However, it had a fight with Liuli and escaped with serious injuries. When I find it, I won't let it get away again."
According to Xiaojiu's information, Hermes once obtained some Soul Devourer's cells by chance, and then used these native cells to cultivate a Soul Devourer. This Soul Devourer was the one that attacked the Tower of Babel.
Hermes placed the Soul Devourer there, originally intending to test its strength.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, the Soul-Devouring Beast should not wake up on that day, but continue to sleep and grow for a while.
When the Soul Devourer is supposed to wake up, Hermes will be there to observe the situation.
As a result, the Tower of Babel was conducting a technical experiment and by chance, the dormant Soul Devouring Beast was activated, which led to the Soul Devouring Beast wreaking havoc in the Tower of Babel, and Zhang Tuohai came to the rescue.
If the Soul Devourer had not awakened early and Hermes had not been there to command, the outcome of what happened later would probably have been different.
Of course, Zhang Tuohai also combined the information given by Xiaojiu and combined it with previous information to draw conclusions.
"It turned out to be Hermes, it really is it." Alice clenched her hands into fists, "I have a request. If possible, can you leave Hermes to me? I want to solve it myself and help my comrades in Babel Tower to avenge themselves."
"Of course. If I can catch him, I will hand him over to you for disposal."
Zhang Tuohai nodded in agreement. Anyway, what he wanted was Hermes' authority. It didn't matter who took action. He just wanted the corpse.
"Really? Thank you so much. I know my request is very self-willed, but I have no other choice. This is a deposit. If it's not enough, I'll add my own money."
Alice said, placing a shiny black cube into Zhang Tuohai's hands.
"What is this?" Zhang Tuohai looked at the black cube in his hand curiously. It was one inch square and looked a bit like obsidian, but it was more shiny and smoother than obsidian. It felt warm to the touch, like mutton-fat jade.
"This is the chip that stores all the technologies of the Tower of Babel. Fortunately, it has not been destroyed. I hope it can be of some use to you."
Alice said.
