Chapter 102: Deep Red - Divine Punishment (1)
Inside the office.
Bai Yan appears to be playing with his phone, but in reality, he is manipulating some poor girl miles away.
Black Vulture was still sleeping, while Holly suddenly walked over.
"That!"
Bai Yan, with a calm expression, cut out "Babel Tower" from his phone and looked at ease. No one could have guessed that this person, who indulged in playing games during work, was actually the mysterious leader of the Salvation Organization.
"Bai Yan, I need your help with something."
Holly walked over, with her hands behind her back and a slightly embarrassed smile on her face.
"Bai Yan? What kind of call is this…" Bai Yan was a little speechless after listening.
"Speak, what can I help you with?"
Recalling his poverty and hardship over the past decade, Bai Yan said seriously, "First of all, let me make it clear that I don't have the habit of borrowing money from others."
"Actually, I believe you will definitely help me."
Holly came to Bai Yan's ear and whispered for a while.
After listening, Bai Yan was slightly stunned. There was indeed no reason to object to such a thing.
Since Holly had already spoken, should he, a grown man, refuse?
"So that's how it is. I am capable and fully supportive."
"Holly, you are quite thoughtful."
Bai Yan said with a smile, "I think the captain will be happy too."
After the conversation, Holly left with a lively jump and a smile, resembling a rabbit.
Bai Yan couldn't help but ponder, how much physiological connection exists between half-animal rabbit-folk and real rabbits?
Then he took out his phone and opened "Babel Tower" which he had just minimized.
Bai Yan did actually consider giving "Deep Red - Divine Punishment" to Mu Ling…but each Core Operator has a limit to the amount of Mystical Power they can possess.
"Deep Red - Divine Punishment" is a type of Mystical Power that doesn't require basic physical strength to activate.
In the future, there will be more suitable Mystical Powers for Mu Ling.
Retrieve the "operator list", and allocate "Deep Red - Divine Punishment" to "Psychic Dancer", followed by "Blood of Darkness" and "Sacred Rune · Frigga" to "Cybertyrant".
"I believe this is the most suitable gift for you."

Pop.
Maryse walked out of the safe house and closed the door behind her.
She was wearing a white mask, a pink hooded sweater, sunglasses, black pants, and almost no facial features were visible on her body.
Maryse walked down the stairs with her hands in her pockets.
Constant voices kept appearing in her mind, and they were getting more and more unusual than usual.
[Alas, what can I do about the homework tonight?]
[It's warm behind the television, this little rascal has sneaked to watch TV again!]
[During the meeting at work tomorrow, I won't announce this matter first. I will wait until the boss finishes speaking.]
While going downstairs, she maximized the reception of the residents' emotions and tried to integrate them.
Self-training.
Despite trying different methods to become stronger, she still lacked the power to fight.
It seemed like the distance between her and "Nightsaber" was growing bigger and bigger… Could it be that the "Savior" had rewarded her but not me?
Maryse harbored doubt in her heart, but lacked concrete evidence.
The Savior wouldn't be so biased, right? I just arrived a little later than "Nightsaber".
She fell into contemplation and as she walked down to the first floor, she suddenly saw familiar black mist surging from all around.
"Wait a minute, this is…!"
[This is the reward bestowed upon you.]
An indescribable and terrifying vortex-like aura gradually enveloped Maryse's delicate body.
She immediately widened her eyes, and the aura almost caused her heart to spasm, making it impossible to breathe normally.
It is the power of the "King of Deep Blue"!
Trembling, Maryse reached out her hand, her eyes full of astonishment.
The black mist reappeared, slowly enveloping her fair and delicate arm, followed by a wave of intense pain.
Ouch!
Maryse had never experienced such intense, cellular-level agony before, her soul screaming and howling.
The sweating elven girl's eyes gradually turned crimson, with information about the "reward" appearing in her mind.
[Deep Red - Divine Punishment]
The pain gradually faded away, replaced by an unprecedented sensory experience.
Maryse could feel her brain boiling with activity.
A surge of knowledge rushed in, a considerable amount of knowledge that had previously been difficult to comprehend.
Maryse was kneeling on one knee at the entrance of the first floor hallway.
"Ugh, I feel like vomiting."
She slowly opened her eyes and the way she perceived the world became different. In that moment, her understanding of "reality" was completely overturned and rewritten.
"So that's how it is."
Maryse now possesses a color called "Divine Punishment", which is a deep red hue.
This is a power that countless people dream of but cannot attain.
"Is this the power of the King of Deep Blue? How many great entities are connected to the Babel Tower…I am becoming somewhat numb from the shock."
"Even if you, the Savior, claimed to be the biological father of 'Rainbows', I would believe it… Well, in that case, calling you 'Dad' wouldn't be unjustified."
Maryse muttered to herself and joked as she pulled out a coin from her pocket.
