I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 150: The Vessel of God
The dim light enveloped the café and dispersed rapidly at an extreme pace, covering half of the street even before one could blink, causing every person within range to lose consciousness and fall to the ground. Thousands of people were affected in an instant.
The terrifying Pastor was one of the two great mountains in Tatsumi City.
Even though he had once fallen into a trap and had been pushed to the brink by the Night Watcher, he successfully escaped and left the ace Lin Bian and Raven Reaper on the brink of death.
It was evident to everyone that Crown level extraordinary individuals were not to be underestimated.
The difference between an Origin Level superhuman and an ordinary person was not significant. However, a superhuman at the Awakening Level would undergo a transformation, becoming extraordinary, mysterious, and royal, just as their title implied. They stood above all living beings, wielded the power of life and death, commanded the worship of all beings, and ruled as the sovereign of the extraordinary.
To move from Awakening to Crown, one must complete a specific "Crown Ceremony." Each step of the Crown Ceremony was the most crucial secret of each major power, and it was difficult to accomplish, with a high probability of failure even with the assistance of strong individuals.
Every Crown Level extraordinary individual was a genuine strongman who could not be mass-produced. Typically, they were leaders among small forces and a valuable asset in large forces.
The speed of the black light explosion was incredibly fast but still not as fast as Bai Yan, who moved almost as if he was gliding through a static world.
Bai Yan gently wrapped his arms around the waists of the two girls, looking calm. He had already arrived half a street away. Though it appeared to be a cool momentary movement, he was actually quite tired from running.
"Hide inside that supermarket." Bai Yan gave Scatino a look and used long-term mind control to make her run towards the distant supermarket.
Maryse said fearfully, "Senior, do you have confidence you can defeat him with a projection?"
She was very anxious now because her mind control was useless against Pastor, and even approaching him closely would hardly make any impact… The power gap was too severe.
"This projection only has less than one-thousandth of my original body's power, it would still be difficult to win in a one-on-one battle." Bai Yan calmly mixed truth and lies together.
Less than one-thousandth? Then his original body was too strong, Maryse believed!
As a person who had always had the ability to hear people's thoughts, she had difficulty distinguishing lies from other methods… Plus, Bai Yan's lies were as natural as breathing.
"Therefore, I need your help, Psychic Dancer… Of course, you can refuse if you want, the choice is yours, I won't force you."
Bai Yan already understood this little one's personality. Since he had just saved her once, she wouldn't refuse to help him. But if he were to command her or tell her directly how to do it, she might get upset… A difficult person who was sensitive to the relationship between using and being used.
It would have been much easier if it were Mu Ling…
Maryse, who had wanted to run away, quickly nodded and said without hesitation, "I understand, don't worry, I won't hold Senior back."
'See, I didn't say it wrong. Perhaps she even thanks me in her heart…' Bai Yan smiled, having already grasped the little girl's temperament and quirks.
"You saved me just now, thank you." Maryse thought for a moment and added solemnly.
A black light descended from the sky and landed directly in front of the two. Pastor walked out slowly from the black radiance.
"This has nothing to do with Babel Tower. As long as you hand her over to me, we can have a peaceful resolution." Pastor's tone was calm but unquestionable.
However, the statement was not valid.
"You are wrong."
Bai Yan smiled and said, "As long as it is a matter that threatens the world, Babel Tower will intervene… The great Savior never makes mistakes, and we will definitely follow His commands."
"His…" Noticing Bai Yan's choice of words, Pastor squinted lightly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf words cannot convince, then there was no choice but to fight.
Having heard the legendary stories about Pastor since childhood, Maryse was extremely nervous and had a fine layer of sweat on her skin. Nevertheless, she launched an attack at the first moment.
"Deep Red - Divine Punishment!"
A handful of coins flew out of Maryse's hand at a high speed and hit Pastor's head.
"Thud."
Pastor unleashed…the Order of God.
This was a special power exclusive to the high-ranking members of the Dark Light Church. The black light enveloped him like an absolute defense, blocking all the attacks of the coins.
"Let's go."
Pastor spoke softly again, and the extremely fierce and terrifying black light rose from the ground, creating a huge ravine, cutting towards the two!
Deep Blue World.
Everything froze…no, it was not so!
The dark light on the ground continued to rise at an extremely slow, imperceptible speed. Though it was slow enough to be ignored, it had not been completely stopped, after all, this was the power of God, with a certain uniqueness and transcendence.
Bai Yan approached Pastor calmly, wanting to grab his neck, but found that the impenetrable black light was still present, a force that could tear a dragon apart, impossible to overcome!
'It's still too early. If Night Watcher were to fight at noon, these black lights would weaken significantly,' Bai Yan thought calmly, while a black flame burned in his hand.
The Fire that Burns Everything!
Even the black light from the Gods began to burn!
The next moment, Bai Yan had already taken Maryse, who was frozen in time, and dodged the attack.
Time began to move again.
The ground was completely upheaved by the black light rising into the sky, the black flames continuously burning, shrouding Pastor's black column of light. Inside, he had an expression of disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
The aura of the Outer God was overwhelming. The power possessed by the opponent was unimaginable, and the immense pressure forced Pastor to use his trump card…The Eye of Ebimetheus.
Bai Yan calmly put down the little one in his arms in the distance and said, "Do me a favor. It may make you uncomfortable for a while, but I promise it will be alright."
Imperial Order.
"Fall!"
A series of grandiose black lights fell, hitting the entire street, almost sweeping it like a carpet. Strangely, those who were hit showed no signs of injury, but were instead plunged into a deep sleep. However, the buildings were substantially damaged!
Maryse watched the constantly falling black light and the wildly destroyed street, stunned for a while.
She snapped out of it and immediately said, "Hmm! Senior, I trust you."
"Hey, you said it yourself." Bai Yan's expression was as calm as water.
In the next moment, Bai Yan was once again in front of the Pastor, and without hesitation, Pastor pulled out a pendant, which had a bronze eye below it, filled with confusion…
Civilization-Level Relic, The Pupil of Prometheus, the Eye of the Post-Enlightenment.
A powerful Relic that could make the beholder lose his intelligence! It began to emit a dazzling green light!
Clap.
Bai Yan calmly clapped his hands once, and then switched positions with Maryse, who was still unaware of the situation.
"Deep Red - Divine Punishment!"
Upon her arrival, Maryse immediately threw a large number of stones, but she was also instantly hit, her eyes became confused, her saliva dripped from the corners of her mouth, revealing a "happy" smile.
"Ah woo, ah ah, ah woo… hehehe, I want to play, daddy and I will play."
How could this be happening!
Pastor was shocked and frowned tightly, his ultimate move failed to defeat the mysterious and inscrutable opponent… And because of the cost of using the Civilization-level Relic, he became instantly blind in his right eye.
The situation was very bad. The eerie black flame was still burning the wall, and he didn't know if the "divine grace" he had received over the years was enough to sustain him.
He made a decisive decision.
"I won't attack you anymore! If your goal is to protect this city, then we are not enemies!"
Yes, the mighty Pastor chose to surrender.
Although he still had the strength to fight, and could easily lift the entire street, the permanent depletion of Pastor's black light divine power made him judge that it was not wise to continue.
Bai Yan didn't show up, but the silly Psychic Dancer disappeared in the next moment.
"If we keep on fighting, how many more companions do you have that can endure the consumption?"
[It doesn't matter, one is enough. It's not like you can only make someone stupid once… at worst, let her intelligence drop to that of an amoeba.]
Bai Yan's voice sounded calm in Pastor's mind. After hearing it, Pastor didn't know what to say for a moment. The other party had indeed fully grasped his abilities and Relic…
In battles among supernaturals, intelligence and preparation can sometimes be more important than the strength itself, and can affect the direction of the battle's outcome!
"Can you bear to turn her into an idiot? I remember that your Babel Tower is a righteous organization."
[It's no big deal, I will take care of her for the rest of her life. The only trouble is changing her diapers.]
Bai Yan, of course, would not mention the existence of the Recovery Spring. Even if one were to die, they could be resurrected. Curing someone who had been turned into an imbecile was not a big deal.
Pastor was completely speechless, and just when he thought there was no way out, a new voice suddenly rose up in his heart.
[Answer me first, what is the importance of Scatino and why is she valued?]
[Mutual trust is necessary for cooperation, don't lie, I have the power to detect falsehoods.]
He didn't actually, but if the task of knowing the truth was not accomplished, it meant Pastor was lying.
"I cannot say…" Pastor hesitated.
[Okay, then I will kill her right now.]
"Wait, what exactly do you want? Fine, I'll tell you, actually, she could be one of my master's two containers…"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPastor took a deep breath and made up his mind to reveal the key information.
"To make a long story short, actually…"
[Alright, I understand now. It's about that plan, huh? Well, you don't have to say anything.]
The task was complete and the reward was settled. Bai Yan knew the other party had not deceived him.
Pastor, who just made up his mind to speak, was almost out of breath. After he finally recovered, he was completely confused whether that person really knew about that thing or was just fooling him?
In fact, although Bai Yan had cheated countless times in his life, this time he really knew…
Moreover, he also knew that Scatino was just a false container. The two real "Vessels of God" were Core Operators, of which he was too well aware. He had manipulated it so many times that he had lost count.
The plot involving the two Core Operators was one of the most important and extensive activities in the game content of the "Babel Tower." Bai Yan even knew some secrets that even the high-level officials of the Dark Light Church didn't know.
[Why do you want to save her?]
"Because she is my student, and she is kind. It's that simple."
[You are willing to go to such lengths for her… Then maybe we can make a deal. The Night Watchers will be coming soon, and our time is running out.]
After the deal was reached, Bai Yan voluntarily withdrew the "Fire that Burns Everything" and left with the foolish Maryse. Scatino could not be released as a hostage, nor could she be killed.
In fact, he had come to understand one thing… The priests of the Dark Light Church, like the blood clan, were not allowed to marry openly.
Pastor went to such an extent for Scatino that he betrayed the Church and endangered himself. Although it was not explicit, Bai Yan speculated that they were likely to be related by blood.
After leaving, Bai Yan didn't return to his own home, but began to think about something else…how to plan his own death…he couldn't help but think of a prophecy.
That he would die surrounded by people.
The best way to avoid actual death is to personally plan a fake death…If the Left Hand of Dark Light wasn't dealt with, then the source of the Piety Chain couldn't be resolved.
He began to think about how to deal with "Bai Yan" and the "Left Hand of Dark Light" together.
At this time, Bai Yan was naturally sitting on the sofa in the living room of a luxurious villa, and everyone in the villa was stunned and took his presence for granted.
The beautiful hostess handed him a precious red wine, and he smiled and took it.
"Thank you."
The hostess of this villa is a relevant character in a small task at Babel Tower, and earned no conscience money. Bai Yan, who was occupying her place, didn't feel ashamed at all.
Maryse lay foolishly nearby, drooling and rolling on the carpet. Bai Yan used his phone and sent an order. The next moment, Maryse was sent into the Recovery Spring.
After a while, Maryse came back to normal, changed her pants, and looked at Bai Yan with obvious anger. Soon, the servants in the villa began to massage her shoulders and provide her with delicious food and drink on Bai Yan's instructions.
Maryse calmed down halfway, Bai Yan gently and elegantly stood up, and apologized solemnly:
"I'm sorry, but please believe me, Pastor couldn't kill you at that time, and Mr. Savior could definitely cure you…I don't want to say that I had no other choice at the time, nor will I say that this was the best choice, but if you feel uncomfortable, I won't do it again next time."
'Of course it's a lie. I just need to come up with another excuse to trick you next time.' Bai Yan thought.
Maryse's anger subsided after listening, she sat on the sofa opposite Bai Yan and nodded, saying, "Well, I also said that I would trust you at the time. This was my choice, so I can't blame you."
That's absurd, he knew what she was like. If he hadn't apologized sincerely, she'd definitely have held a grudge.
After pacifying the little one, Bai Yan's smile became even more confident and excited.
Maryse hesitated slightly and curiously asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Bai Yan also had the host's daughter bring Maryse some red wine, gently swayed his stemmed glass, and lightly smiled as he watched Maryse's slightly blushing face after finishing the drink.
"A spectacle that I am leading will soon begin."
