she says:

“…Shoot, it’s just a matter of time…The same goes for you…Don’t be so proud!”

Alex thought it was ridiculous, but also felt sorry for her. He suddenly recalled the countless nights of climbing through the mud and iron fences. He looked at the tall tower at the end of the horizon with a hideous face.

Alex suddenly remembered why he wanted to protect the college building.

The black water made him forget so much, but now he remembered it all.

But he had already fired.

More than ten years ago, when faced with the mysterious hacker Ashley in the city of Lavis, he did not shoot, but reached out his hand to the girl.

And now, the bullets that have been fired cannot be retrieved.

Who fired that bullet?

“…”

The rifle fell to the ground, Alex embraced Ashley’s fallen body, and knelt on one knee in the heavy rain.

He looked at the girl’s pale but smiling face and his body trembled.

Soon, the surging tide engulfed the two men. The rioting crowd broke through the soldiers’ defense line and rushed into the college building. The noise was drowned out by the endless rain.

……

On the edge of the Aston Plain, the reunited Thebite-Kingdom coalition forces were heading towards the Iron Curtain.

After the frontal launch of [Tower of Babel] was completed, Angela of Thebite and Grace of the Kingdom simultaneously led the backup airship formation to the plain and picked up Eshilia in the dark wasteland.

When the fleet found Ashlia, she was holding the kingdom’s flag and leading scavengers and the remnants of the kingdom’s troops on foot in the wilderness. Her dress had been torn when the “Holy City” crashed. If it weren’t for the redstone pendant given by Perlis, she might have died long ago.

This airship formation soon met up with the remnants of the Thebite further ahead. Evans was in much better condition than Ashlia. He was smoking a cigar, lying on top of the armored vehicle that was somewhat deformed by the burns of the factor energy, using his own steel hoop as a pillow.

When they met, his first words were:

“Carly Fellowes is a f**king genius.”

The joint forces soon made contact with the Dila Army. After reporting their safety to each other, they formulated the final battle plan – a raid on the Tower of Babel on the border of Lavis.

On the bridge of the “Hipplanda”, Ashilia stared at the Iron Curtain not far away, her golden eyes as calm as water.

She has changed into a more capable military uniform. According to the assignment of duties, the Kingdom’s people will conduct a large-scale airborne landing in the jungle near the Tower of Babel and work with the army to destroy any possible Iron Curtain Defense Forces.

Heavy rain fell from the sky, washing the glass in front of the bridge, and the outline of the Tower of Babel became blurred.

This is the last chance… Ashlia thought so. In fact, she had been given many chances, from Her Royal Highness the Princess to Rein, and then to Perlis and Carly. The chances given by those people intertwined her path and brought her here step by step.

Otherwise, she would have died in the alleys of La Vatino.

If it weren’t for that [Ice Storm], the coalition forces would have been destroyed by another attack from [Tower of Babel] long ago. How could they have had the opportunity to advance again?

This time, it’s really a decisive battle.

“…”

Just as the airship was about to pass through the Iron Curtain, suddenly, a few blue lights flashed in the rainstorm, and a magnificent shadow covered the sky.

The Federation’s skyships are attacking!

After Roger MacLaurer’s complete downfall, Laplace finally recovered the sky fleets that were sent to block the non-existent missiles of the Qilang people. They will be the last iron wall between the Tower of Babel and the coalition forces.

Ashlia’s eyes swept across the sky ships. She could confirm with her naked eyes that there were five sky ships, and perhaps more were on the way.

A tough battle.

But as long as they can defeat these sky ships, they can reach there before the Tower of Babel can recharge.

Facing the huge shadows in the sky, Ashlia took a deep breath and prepared to give orders.

At this moment, the bridge suddenly received a factor energy wave communication from afar:

“The [Sky Eye] is approaching, be careful to avoid it.”

The next second, the eastern sky became as bright as day at sunrise.

Ashlia turned her head and saw meteors quickly passing through the clouds and heading towards the Federation’s fleet of airships.

In the control room of [Tower of Babel], Laplace looked at the dense barrage of rockets in disbelief. After testing it with the artificial intelligence system, he confirmed again and again that it was an attack from Qi Lang’s [Eye of the Sky].

“How is it possible…” Laplace murmured, “Suleiman…failed…?”

According to the original plan, as long as Suleiman successfully ascends to the ancient god [Inmotalus], he can take over the black tide followers of the [Lord of the Black Tide] to delay the Qilang people and prevent them from using the [Eye of the Sky].

But now, the barrage of messages from Sky Eye is approaching rapidly, which means only one possibility.

The ancient god [Immotalos] has fallen.

……

At this time, on the western Great Wall, Yan Chu was connected to Neuromancer and looking at the west.

He was personally controlling the missile array fired by the [Sky Eye], rapidly approaching the direction of the Academi Federation, targeting the remaining federal troops.

After being held back by the Dark Wave for a long time, the remaining munitions inventory of Sky Eye was seriously insufficient, but if the goal was just to annihilate the federal military, it would be more than enough.

“…”

Next to Yan Chu, Lou Lan was sitting on the ground. She was wrapped in bandages all over and looked dying, but there was no emotion in her emerald eyes.

“All those followers of the Black Tide disappeared in an instant,” Lou Lan said softly, “The gravity of the underworld is weakening… The war is over…”

“The war is not over yet,” Yan Chu had a few new scars on his face, but he remained calm. “Laplace still has one last resort. He has not yet fully unleashed the potential of [Tower of Babel]…”

“No, I’m not talking about the war in front of us,” Lou Lan covered his chest and gasped, “It’s an even older…secret war…”

Scarlet spots of light flashed before her eyes. Ever since Miss Hallilali saved her and gave her those powers, she always dreamed of those spots of light.

In the blurry outlines of those spots of light, she caught a glimpse of a corner of history and a corner of war.

“It will be over soon…” Loulan breathed steadily and exhaled deeply, “Soon…”

Yan Chu lowered his head to glance at the dying Loulan, then looked away emotionlessly and continued to shift his attention to the [Sky Eye].

His field of vision was divided into countless sub-fields of vision, accurately controlling the movement of each missile.

The missile swarm quickly flew through the storm above the sea, swept across the east coast of the Federation, and passed directly above the Dila Army.

If Neuromancer could read auditory senses, Yan Chu would have heard the cheers from the army. But now, he was focused, and the highly loaded neurons in his brain strictly controlled the trajectory of each missile, directing it in the right direction.

According to the original estimate, the federal air defense system would intercept a large part of the missile groups, but now, the federal air defense is completely silent.

After a quick assessment, Yan Chu determined that it was the result of the spread of some powerful electromagnetic interference.

This made the situation better than expected.

Amid the blur of colors, a cluster of missiles crossed the border of Lavis, passed through the rainstorm, and whizzed past the top of the forest.

Yan Chu saw the coalition airships and the federal skyships above the clouds. He locked the target, then released control and let the missiles fly towards the skyships above the sea of ​​clouds.

The sky ships seemed frightened by such a large-scale missile attack. They began to counter the missiles with laser weapons, but the lasers piercing into the clusters of missiles were like trying to kill a mosquito with chopsticks. It was obviously absurd and unrealistic.

Then, under the witness of the coalition forces, the missile clusters covering the sky hit the sky ships one by one——

“Boom, boom, boom, boom -“

The steel behemoth exploded in the air, and the secondary explosion of the energy engine painted a little blue and red on the sky covered by heavy rain.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed under the giant shadow of the Tower of Babel and were soon swallowed up by the heavy rain.

On the cliff at the edge of the forest, Pace Monarch was gasping for breath, leaning on his giant sword. The heavy rain washed the blood off his body. He stood in the middle of the pile of corpses, surrounded by deathly silence.

A magnificent curtain of light exploded above his head. When Pace looked up, he saw only a few loud thunderclaps in the heavy rain, and then there was dead silence.

Pace wiped the rain off his face, straightened his spine, leaned on the giant sword, and looked up at the gray sky.

After just a few dozen seconds, the huge airship crashed through the edge of the forest, casting a shadow on the earth.

White parachutes opened in the air, densely dotted the sky, and fell along with the heavy rain.

Pace’s body trembled violently several times, his breathing suddenly became heavy, and the fire in his eyes lit up again.

They succeeded! The Allied Forces really crossed the Iron Curtain and advanced into the jungles of Lavis!

On the cliff covered by heavy rain, Pess turned the hilt of Svarog, and flames burst out from the sword, like a beacon in the rain.

He leaned on his giant sword, looked up at the sky, and opened one arm like the most elegant king to embrace his army.

……

In the [Final Control Room] on the [Tower of Babel], Laplace sat in front of the giant screen with bloodshot eyes, his face gradually becoming hideous.

Suleiman Agust failed… His failure led to the Qilang people breaking through the shackles and causing the complete collapse of the Federation’s defense line…

At the same time as the skyship was destroyed, Laplace also received news that the Lavis border defense was breached by the Dila Army. He ignored the screams of the soldiers, cut off the radio, and sat alone in front of the giant screen in the final control room, overlooking the clouds.

He suddenly stood up and threw the teacup hard to the ground. The white porcelain fragments flew everywhere and the boiling hot tea splashed all over the floor.

“Waste!!!” Laplace yelled hysterically, “You are a bunch of waste! Waste! Waste!”

The feeling of being out of control came over him again, and Laplace felt the powerful gravitational force he had experienced on the “Ark” a hundred years ago. That was the gravitational force of fate. Under the bondage of that gravitational force, he was nothing but a mortal!

He embedded God’s eyes into his eye sockets and injected God’s blood into his veins, but he was still a mortal!

He was clearly the ruler of the high tower, but he was defeated by those insignificant little people!

Those worthless ants! They know nothing! They have no idea of ​​the greatness of the sublime truth, or the vastness of the starry sky!

When that moment comes, they will all die! Those untouchables whose heads are full of false freedom and peace, they do not have the ability to climb the tower, but they all want to usurp the tower and imagine that they can become the masters of the new world!

“Do you know what you are doing? You are trying to kill your pilot! You are trying to kill civilization!”

Laplace roared at the sea of ​​clouds, but the sea of ​​clouds did not respond. No matter what time it was, the sea of ​​clouds just flowed silently, unchanged forever.

“Hehehe…hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!”

Laplace burst into wild laughter and began a frantic dance in front of the giant screen, his limbs twisted and his steps unsteady, like a puppet about to fall.

As he danced, he came to a mirror. He was stunned, his eyes focused on the distorted and hideous face of the person in the mirror, as well as the blood-red eye.

Blood red eyes…Hafrgaard…

That’s right! It’s all the damned Hafgard! Hafgard should be killed!

“Die to me! Die to me!”

The old man roared, stabbed his bloodshot eye socket with one hand, and then pulled hard:

“Uh ah ah ah ah ah!”

He screamed and tore out the eye that once belonged to Hassanka Hafrigard, then curled up on the ground holding the empty eye socket, wailing in pain.

Then, he staggered to his feet, threw the eye with nerves attached to it to the ground, and crushed it with one foot.

“Paji.”

The eye shattered into pieces in an instant, turning into a pool of meaningless crystalline debris.

“Hahahahaha! You call this God? You call this God? I will kill you! I will kill you!”

Laplace laughed sharply like a naughty boy. He covered his bleeding eyes and laughed for a long time. Then his face suddenly became calm again.

His body no longer trembled with pain, and he seemed to have turned into the leader who ruled the tower again. His only remaining silver eye emitted a cold light like a knife, so sharp that it seemed to be able to pierce through the sea of ​​clouds.

That’s right, how can you say it’s out of control? It’s not over yet.

The old man calmly walked to the tea table, squatted down, picked up the broken white porcelain teacups and put them aside so that they would not get in the way.

He took a new teacup from the shelf nearby, filled it with hot water, shook it, and then used the hot water in the cup to rinse his bloody hands to wash away the blood.

After doing all this, he straightened his tie. Apart from the spots of blood on his shirt, he seemed to be no different from the respectable leader of the tower before.

Yes, it does take a long time to recharge the Tower of Babel, but that is only from above the clouds.

The real factor energy deposits are underground.

By forcibly extracting the factor energy storage in the underground of the entire Akademi Federation and gathering that energy at the [Tower of Babel], it is theoretically possible to release a factor energy annihilation beam that is more powerful than the energy stored in the clouds.

If the cost is too great, the strata of the entire Academi Federation will be severely impacted, plates will collapse, and cities will be shattered by the boiling factor energy flow.

However, this is an acceptable price.

Oh… there is a price. This powerful factor can annihilate far more than what the [Babel Prism] can bear. Once reflected, it will definitely not be a one-way emission, and it is unlikely to be accurately guided…

Will half of the Admir continent be reduced to scorched earth? Or maybe, this place will become as quiet as it was during the Odin civilization period…

But this has no effect on the Tower of Babel. This tower built by the Creator Engine is the strongest building in the world. Even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses, the shape of this tower cannot be destroyed.
