"Well... that's good..."

Vasily's breathing became lighter and lighter. He seemed to be unable to hear the wind and just kept muttering a name:

"Sophia...Sophia...Sophia..."

In his last moments, the warrior muttered about his only light, a light that he rarely even showed to others, but was still his only light.

In the storm created by the Tower of Babel, he stopped breathing.

Pace stood up and looked up at the red thunder gathering above his head, and the fire in his black eyes ignited again.

The weight of Svarog was pulling on his back, and he knew that now was definitely not the time for him to stop.

But at this moment, the wind suddenly stopped.

......

6) Under the Tower of Babel (Part 12) -4k chapter-

On the plain outside Vizel, the marching Dila Army suddenly stopped and stared at the red light in the sky.

Akihara Ayane quietly watched the clouds on the horizon being outlined in red, her cherry-colored eyes as calm as the surface of the water.

More than ten minutes ago, the Dila Army, after landing, sent a series of good news: the "Ice Ocean" and a series of ships of the Third Fleet successfully landed, the control of the east coast was stabilized, and the Akihara Army successfully reached the Iron Curtain.

Most importantly, they received news from the coalition: Pace Monarch claimed that he had entered the Lavis zone and was delaying the launch of the Tower of Babel.

But now, all hopes were shattered by the red light that ignited the sky.

"...Too naive," Mei's lips trembled, "Laplace has figured it all out..."

"Babel may have prepared excessive amounts of factor energy long ago. We can't stop him..." Grissom held Mei's hand tightly, "It's okay... Mei... It's okay..."

"I know..."

Mei threw herself into Grissom's arms. Grissom held her head against his chest and turned to look at the sun rising on the horizon.

There was anger in the boy's ice-blue eyes, but he just clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Nothing can stop the Tower of Babel.

The soldiers in the marching column seemed to collapse all of a sudden. They stared blankly at the red light. No one turned around to run away, and no one knelt down and wailed. They seemed to be exhausted.

Even the straightest back will bend after being oppressed by the shadow of the tower for too long.

Ayane sighed softly and murmured:

"Rin, do you believe in fate?"

Her shadow suddenly boiled, and the warrior in black veil stood back to back with her, looking towards the sea:

“Believe that we are all His slaves and will never be able to escape the bondage of His gravity.”

"No matter what the result is, we have done our best," Ayane said softly, "Let's just go with the flow."

At this moment, a message from afar suddenly sounded on the radio:

"This is [Newsboy]."

Everyone was stunned at this moment. Mei, who had buried her head in Grissom's chest, raised her head and stared blankly into the distance:

"Jessica?"

“We are delivering a new message...”

In the rain curtain of Vizel, Jessica lowered her head and ignored the tall tower that turned half the sky red.

She was wearing a pure white wedding dress - simple, holy, and out of place in the chaotic crowd.

At this time, more and more people were surrounding the academy building. After the [Military] completely lost control of the city, the Blackwater soldiers became the only line of defense to stop the crowd, and this line of defense now faced the most dangerous moment in the past 24 hours——

——A sea of ​​people.

The things that were dispersed by violence seemed to gather again and become more and more numerous. In the dark crowd, figures wearing newsboy caps shouted and yelled, with hands raised high, forming a sea of ​​protest.

What greeted them was the same heavy hail of bullets as before:

"Da da da da da da da-"

Dense tongues of fire tore through the rain curtain, splashing blood-red waves in the crowd's gunfire.

But what was different from before was that this did not force the crowd to retreat. Instead, figures rushed out of the sea of ​​people - they were teenagers and young men wearing newsboy caps. Some of them still had bandages wrapped around their bodies, while others were already staggering. Bright red flowers bloomed on their bodies, and the petals fell into the mud filled with corpses.

But as the Tower of Babel lit up again, the mud could no longer suppress the sparks.

"Jessica, take care of yourself."

Behind the crowd, Yu put on the Wilkin-style headdress for Jessica - it was given to her by the owner of the bridal shop, who said that no one would buy it anyway, so she might as well wear it when she got married.

In these cloudy days, even the most ordinary marriage becomes a kind of sacred luxury.

Jessica nodded gently and murmured:

"Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work."

Yu forced out a smile that was worse than crying, but Jessica was still very relieved. She thought that she must look very beautiful in a wedding dress, and she could actually make a boy smile at such a moment.

But Jessica's gaze soon dimmed again because her boy could no longer see her in her wedding dress.

She wondered...Will Kemp be watching from the other side?

Of course he would, why would he leave alone? We agreed to move out of Shouma Lane together...

Then, go meet him with flowers...!

"..."

Jessica gently touched the ruby ​​pendant on her chest. When she took the red stone from the black-veiled warrior, she seemed to hear a kind whisper:

"Xiao Xi, there is still half of the firewood left in the stove. No need to change it. I will continue cooking tonight."

In an instant, sadness and warmth engulfed Jessica at the same time - she knew that her mother was turned into red stone by the people in the crystal factory after her death. When this stone that embodied her mother's soul returned to her hands, she didn't know how she should feel.

Fate is entangled with countless circles that are entangled with each other.

Jessica realized that she was lucky. She thought that she was born to add fuel to this fire.

"Da da da da——"

After all, flesh and blood could not withstand the rain of bullets. In the blink of an eye, the crowd gathered by the newsboys began to retreat, and the dripping blood eventually forced back the people who braved the rain.

But there are still figures wearing newsboy caps rushing out. They are scattered and look so small, but when they gather together they look like a rain.

At this moment, a figure flashing with white light walked out from the rain curtain - Jessica stepped over the edge of the crowd, holding a bunch of flowers, with a calm expression.

She walked forward with the newsboys, her steps were leisurely and graceful. Countless flowers of blood splashed around her, like flowers flying at the wedding of a bride, accompanying the bride to her groom.

Jessica has no groom, her groom is fate.

"Da da da da da-"

The rain of bullets tore apart the bodies of the newsboys. Jessica saw countless familiar figures falling. She saw Yu's limbs being torn apart, and his broken body crawling on the muddy ground, as if the stubbornness deep in his soul had finally burst out. Newsboy caps were thrown high up and fell on the red and black ground, as if mourning something.

There was only one figure moving forward—Jessica had already walked half the distance, and it seemed that all the bullets were moving around her.

No, it wasn't walking around her, it was the strong factor shield generated by the redstone module that blocked the rain of bullets for her.

"Mother..."

Jessica held the flowers in one hand and tightly grasped the red stone on her chest with the other. She was like a flower walking alone in the intersection of blood and fire. If it weren't for the hem of her skirt that was stained with mud and blood, she seemed to be able to be separated from this dirty world.

Suddenly, she was getting closer and closer to the college building and would soon reach the destination.

The dark lines of soldiers seemed to be washed away by the rain, leaving only a pure white. At the end of the white, Jessica saw the boy in the newsboy cap, carrying a bag of food bought from downtown Lavis, and waving at her at the gate of the yard.

"Jessica, here I come!"

Someone was shouting something, and a red light came, and Jessica found herself pierced through.

The cold rain hit the girl's cheeks again, and the huge impact force pushed down her fragile body.

She fell on her back in the rain, her blood staining her wedding dress and splashing blood all over it.

[The Thorn Bullet] tore a hole in her chest, and the rain fell on her dull eyes, running down her cheeks like tears.

Before the last trace of consciousness disappeared, Jessica felt her chest growing warmer and warmer. The [Redstone Module] created by her mother and countless unknown people was glowing with an almost incandescent light.

The small device modified by Mei is converting the destructive factor at the highest frequency. The high-concentration factor environment will instantly cover the entire square in front of the college building.

That was the cry from tens of millions of suffering souls. Their shouts intertwined, turning from sparks into a sea of ​​fire, and in an instant, it spread across the prairie.

"boom------"

The red light flooded Jessica's vision. She smiled, closed her eyes, and held the red stone tightly before being annihilated.

Then, a crimson storm swept across the outline of the building, tearing through the soldiers' defenses, and in an instant everything became calm again.

After just a few seconds, ice-blue light gushed out from the ground like a fountain, instantly submerging the entire college building in blue light.

[Ice Storm] breached containment.

"Om————"

The manic blue light swept in all directions, manifesting itself in anything that could emit light - street lamps, lighting in commercial complexes, and lights in residential buildings, all of which suddenly burst into pure blue.

An ice-blue storm was spreading in the capital, Wezel. The entire city seemed to be submerged in a sea of ​​blue light in an instant, and then spread in all directions.

The seeds planted by Carly Fellowes ten years ago were ignited by sparks, and half of the cities in the federation were dyed icy blue in an instant.

Then, these rays of light changed their direction in an instant, all converging towards their true target—

——The [Tower of Babel] in Lavis!

On the top of the tower, Laplace stood up the moment the Ice Storm broke through the containment, and the teacup fell to the ground.

He didn't expect that someone could release that demon. According to his plan, any medium capable of detonating the [Ice Storm] had been cut off. Only the Allied Forces and the Dila Fleet possessed the [Redstone], and it was impossible for them to transport those things to Vizel.

Who did it? Was it the newspaper boy? No way, they were just insignificant variables that didn't need to be paid attention to!

Laplace immediately summoned the floating page and pressed his palm on it.

The moment he made this move, the ice-blue light had already climbed up to the base of the Tower of Babel.

The chess player who controls the chess game has already prepared everything. There is no doubt that Carly Fellowes will try to destroy the Tower of Babel, so the corresponding emergency measures should be prepared in advance.

Laplace didn't know if his countermeasures could fight against Carly Philos. She was a descendant of the Philos family... that damn race! If he had known earlier, he should have wiped them all out at the beginning! Not a single one should be left alive!

Laplace prayed, and before his eyes, [Countermeasures] was activated.

At this time, the ice-blue light had climbed to half the height of the Tower of Babel, and blue lines were dyed on the tower.

"Buzzing—"

A violent vibration was heard, and a blue light lit up. All the facilities in front of Laplace were instantly dyed with blue light, and dense sparks of factor energy burst out between the pipelines - [Ice Blue Light] passed through the [Final Control Room]. Everything was destroyed under the blue light, except for the panel in front of Laplace, which was still suspended in the air.

The progress bar above has reached 97.2%!

"Buzzing—"

The red light on the top of [Tower of Babel] was instantly gathered. This red light was originally going to be directed towards Aston Plain and the East Coast to wipe out all the remnants of the coalition forces, but now it was taken over by this ice-blue light.

The program designed by Carly took over the [core] of [Tower of Babel]!

This process lasted only three seconds, and then Laplace's countermeasures progress bar reached 100%.

"boom--"

The ice-blue light dissipated and fell all the way down from the top of the Tower of Babel, like a returning tide, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The retracing blue light was accompanied by a rainstorm, and the destructive factors originally gathered by the [Tower of Babel] were emitted again at once. This seemed to have some impact on the clouds above the Academi Federation, and an unprecedented rainstorm descended.

Laplace could not hear the sound of rain, he was in the clouds, and the whole world became quiet again.

"..."

Laplace collapsed back into his chair, covered his face, and suddenly burst into laughter:

“Hahahahahaha! Carly Fellowes, you’ve been secretly playing games with me for so long, but the miracle you exchanged for your life only took over the Tower of Babel for three seconds!”

"These three seconds are everything to you? Three seconds! You can't change anything!"

Laplace laughed uncontrollably. The bomb planted under his heart finally stopped bothering him. The delay of launching the Tower of Babel once would not change anything. The World Alliance would still be destroyed. No one could shake the foundation of the tower.

No one, not even Carly Fellowes who is known as a genius.

“Hahahaha… huh… huh…”
