It was the same feeling when those children were tied to the lab bench, waiting to die in despair and pain.

A tick for a tick!

Since Annan said that this is karma, he will be very fair and send the retribution without any real consequences.

"When you do something like that, you should be mentally prepared that you will encounter this kind of thing one day, right?"

Annan ignored a researcher who was crying and begging for mercy, and led Sirin slowly through the ninth floor of No.40.

Murderers are always killed.

There is no reason in this world that you can kill others and others cannot kill you.

Such a simple truth, even a three-year-old child understands.

It's not that the researchers at the Tower of Babylon didn't understand it, but they never thought that this kind of truth would one day be fulfilled in themselves.

They are confident in the strength of the Destiny Organization, that the Bishop of Destiny and the Valkyrie can protect them, and even the secular laws cannot sanction them.

So these researchers never thought there would be a day of retribution.

"—This is 'arrogance'!"

Annan glanced at the tower itself and sneered.

"The Tower of Babylon... The Tower of Pride is really a fitting name. It's no wonder that it was destroyed."

In occultism, especially tarot...

The tower is the worst card of all 22 big cards in the tarot, and it is the only big card that is dangerous in both directions.

The tower in the tarot card refers to the tower of Babylon.

The Tower of Babylon, also known as the Tower of Babel, is the Tower of Babel.

The Bible reads in Genesis 11:4: "They said, 'Come! Let us build a city and a tower, whose top will reach into the sky, that we may make our name known, lest we be scattered throughout the earth.'"

Humans in Babylon tried to build towers reaching the sky to make people equal to gods, and this arrogant move eventually brought division and turmoil to human beings.

Humans have lost their unified language, they are at war with each other, and towers are falling into ruins.

Since then, the Tower of Babylon has become a symbol of "destruction", "disaster" and "decay".

"Why bother……"

"Knowing that this is a mysterious world, and having such a taboo name, you deserve to die!"

There was no mercy in Annan's eyes.

Perhaps it is because the mandate of Heaven itself does not believe in the "Bible" and is not afraid of God's punishment, so it took such a name.

but……

No one realizes that the tower of Babylon did not originally belong to the Bible, but to the realm of Mesopotamian mythology.

In 586 BC, the Neo-Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II destroyed the kingdom of Judea, demolished the Jewish holy city of Jerusalem, burned the temple, and took the king and nearly ten thousand subjects captive to Babylon. This is the famous "Babylonian" in history. prisoner".

The Jews were mostly enslaved in Babylon until Cyrus the Persian arrived 70 years later to save them.

Out of the hatred of slavery, the Jews wrote the tower of Babylon as an unknown tower in the Old Testament.

In fact.

From the perspective of the Babylonians themselves, the Babylonian Tower was the gate of the gods, a religious building they built for the gods.

And here is the problem.

In Mesopotamian mythology, the patron saint of Babylon was Marduk.

Even in the eyes of the Babylonians, the throne of the Babylonian king was conferred by Marduk, the monks were Marduk's servants, and the people needed his protection.

In order to please Marduk, in exchange for his grace, and to ensure the permanence of the country and the city, the Babylonians will build a high tower and dedicate the Babylonian tower to Marduk as a gift.

For this alone, the Tower of Babylon offended Annan.

Because, in Mesopotamian mythology, it was Marduk who killed Tiamat.

In reality, it was this unfilial son who trapped Tiamat in the net, pierced Tiamat's abdomen with an arrow, and joined other gods to exile Tiamat.

This is something Annan will never tolerate.

Annan could forgive most people in Mesopotamia, even Enki who killed Abozu could spare a single horse, but Marduk was the only one he could never forgive.

——Because Marduk injured Tiamat.

He Annan was never a magnanimous existence.

This reason alone is enough for Annan to smash him to the ground, and he will completely destroy everything about Marduk.

Things like the Tower of Babylon used to worship Marduk are more annoying in Annan's eyes than maggots in a pile of shit.

"So, if you don't want to die, you have to choose a name of 'Babylon Tower' to find your own way!"

Annan led Sirin slowly up the stairs, with a murderous intent in his eyes.

There are certain numbers in the dark.

When the tower was called Babylon, it was no longer an accident that Annan appeared here.

God may not exist, but he does exist.

and so……

Even if God does not impose divine punishment on the tower of Babylon, the Mesopotamian god of destruction will completely destroy this tower dedicated to Marduk!

Chapter 230 Seven: Hell Is Your Destination!

blah blah blah...

The sound of rapid drum-beating footsteps resounded on the top floor of the Tower of Babylon.

A group of researchers in white lab coats abandoned their usual pampering and rolled and ran faster than anyone else.

"Hu, hu... ah ah ah-don't ah!!"

"Run fast, that monster is going to catch up!!!"

Heart-piercing screams kept coming, and every living researcher was numb to such a sound, and their faces were so distorted that they couldn't be more distorted.

They may still be alive, but the mental torture they have endured makes people feel that they might as well just die.

It's just that these researchers didn't have the courage to commit suicide.

There is a saying that it is better to die than to live. Even if there is no hope in sight, they still run away desperately, eager to live for a while longer.

"Come on, come on, the door is in front!"

A researcher rushed towards the main control room on the first floor, looked at the door that was close at hand, and forced an ugly smile on his frightened face.

The defense system of the main control room is the strongest. The gate alone is half a meter thick. It is made of special alloy. Even an S-rank Valkyrie needs a lot of effort to open it.

That place... as long as you can get to that place!

The adrenaline rush of the researcher, who felt he could hope for safety, quickened a bit.

"Slow down, wait for me, give me a hand!"

Behind him, an elderly researcher could not run fast, and could only hope that his companions would give him a hand.

however.

The companion who was already close to the main control room rushed in without looking back, punching the door closing button on the wall with a backhand.

"Ahaha, close it, close it for me, so it's safe!"

Watching the door slowly close, the researcher laughed incoherently.

Safe, safe now.

As for the companion who was locked out of the door because he couldn't get there in time, he didn't feel it at all.

At such a dangerous time, you can't take care of yourself. Who cares about the life and death of others? !

And there is a saying that makes sense, in times of danger, you don't need to run much faster, you just need to run faster than your companions.

"Just help me share the danger outside. If I can survive, I will definitely give you incense next year."

The researcher sat down against the closed door, covered his face with his hands, gasped for breath, and his expression collapsed.

"That's really a pity..."

"I think your colleague may prefer to meet you in hell."

A calm male voice sounded from the air, as if stating a fact.

"you you……"

The researcher, who had just relaxed, suddenly widened his eyes, kicked his legs on the ground in horror, and jumped several meters away from the door.

At this time, the researcher saw Annan who was slowly walking out of the gate.

Thinking that closing the door would prevent Annan from coming in, such stupid behavior made Annan almost laugh.

He is just a ray of thought now, and to put it bluntly, he is a spiritual body. It is the same as passing through the air, and there is no feeling at all.

That is, to bring Xi Lin in, Annan used a little power of imaginary numbers.

"You...you don't come here!!!"

The researcher looked at Annan, took out a pistol tremblingly from his arms, and aimed it at Annan and Xilin.

"Oh? Do you think you can kill me with a pistol?"

Annan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his face was like a devil.

"Obviously you don't think so. Your finger isn't on the trigger, because you know there's nothing like a pistol to me."

"You don't have to think that someone will come to rescue you, because you are the last researcher in this tower, so now the pistol in your hand has only one last use."

"—Suicide. Shoot yourself in the head with that gun, at least make your death a little more enjoyable."

Annan's words completely broke the researcher's heart.

Despair began to devour reason, and the researcher's body subconsciously acted according to Annan's words, and pointed the muzzle at himself tremblingly.

Anyway, it's all about death, it's better to just cut yourself off and suffer less.
