"The time has come."

Tatsumi City.

In this troubled independent city, the people would gather for a sincere prayer every ten days.

At this moment, the prayer is about to begin.

As the sound of the bell rang out, the people of Tatsumi City began to stand up in their homes.

They closed their eyes, whispered softly, and started praying, praising the Savior of Babel Tower.

I hope that He will come back one day, to bring an end to this dreadful era.

At this very moment, millions of people were praying together, and a devout heart gave birth to a mutated power originating from the spirit particles.

A pure power of faith gathered together, flowing into the Babel Tower within the empty space, accumulating over time.

Not only Tatsumi City will contribute the power of faith to Babel Tower, but in various cities of the Noah world, and even in civilizations from different worlds, there will be varying degrees of faith power coming here.

They have long been gathering inside the Babel Tower, accumulating, waiting for someone’s return.

Inas set foot in the city.

"This is Tatsumi City, it looks really different, just as I thought, it’s really unlike our place."

She wore a beautiful black dress, stood among the crowd, feeling a mix of emotions.

On the pedestrian street, the girl watched as people came and went under the shimmering lights.

After the people of Tatsumi City finished their prayers, they went back to their normal lives.

Although they looked up and saw the night sky instead of Elene, it was actually morning, so they still needed to go to work as usual.

There were too many people on the surface, Inas pondered.

"Mom, are they not afraid? Why do they dare to move around outside and not hide or pretend?"

Inas looked at her mother in confusion. This situation was extremely unusual. She had visited many cities in Noah’s world but had never witnessed such a carefree and relaxed atmosphere with people coming and going.

Kaluoer remained expressionless, calmly stating, "Tatsumi City has never truly fallen. Over the years, it has managed to maintain the same state as it was in the past."

"Because many strong individuals from the Babel Tower settled here, and with the powerful barrier personally created by Mu Ling, Tatsumi City, which serves as the focal point, remained relatively unchanged and peaceful."

Is this how the old times were?

Inas fell into silence, continuing to stroll through the streets with her mother, observing the remnants of the old times.

She saw things in many people that she had never seen among the Annottales.

Be at ease.

In this bustling place, the people lived busy lives. Some were anxious, while others were lazy. However, without exception, nobody felt the need to worry about their next meal, nor did anyone feel constantly in danger, unsure of what the future held.

In other regions of Noah’s world, it was almost unimaginable.

"Let’s go, and I will take you to see some places."

Kaluoer held her daughter’s tiny hand and took her to the largest clothing store. As soon as the two females entered the store, they immediately felt the inherent joy that nature brings.

Let’s go shopping!

The mother and daughter were very excited, although one didn’t show it while the other showed it quite clearly.

Unfortunately, they were lacking a person to carry the bags.

"Why didn’t we wait for Aunt Evie to come with us to Tatsumi City, instead of just the two of us coming?"

Inas changed into a gothic dress and looked at her mother in the mirror. Suddenly, she asked.

Kaluoer, on the other hand, was wearing a black evening gown with a white necklace around her neck. Standing beside Inas, they looked like sisters or friends, but definitely not like mother and daughter.

Kaluoer replied, "She went to another city earlier to pick up your brother. She will be back soon… but we don’t need to wait for her."

"Oh."

So that’s how it was," Inas nodded and reminisced about her brother.

That person was always quiet, but admired the Savior of the legendary Babel Tower more than themselves.

This time, being able to come to Tatsumi City and attend the Babel Tower conference, he must have been very happy.

"Oh, so you are Kaluoer’s daughter?"

Suddenly, a mysterious female voice resounded.

Who?

Inas was momentarily stunned, then wide-eyed with alertness, she turned her head back. The other person had managed to silently approach her from behind without detection. Their strength should not be underestimated at all!

Although she was in a seemingly harmless and secure city…

She couldn’t afford to let her guard down!

Inas quickly caught sight of a beautiful half-elf girl, who appeared angelic with her golden hair and bright blue eyes. She was enchanting and evoked sympathy, although her face showed signs of weariness, as if she had gone through something very sad.

The half-elf girl gazed at Inas for a long time, as if trying to find traces of another person on her face.

"Maryse, you look really worn-out."

Kaluoer nodded gently, clearly very familiar with Maryse.

She then extended her hand and calmly introduced, "This is my daughter, Inas… you should know, she was born with that power."

"Dark Light? Are you the reincarnation of that divine being?"

Maryse walked over and gently reached out, pinching Inas’ chin. The dark-haired girl furrowed her brow and took a step back.

"Hehe, how amusing!"

Maryse smiled, while Inas started to feel a bit uneasy.

Is this person really the legendary Queen of Hearts?

Among the strong individuals in Noah’s world, the Tower of Babel, the most fearsome Queen of Hearts who has hunted down the highest number of Spawns… turns out to be someone unexpected…

Little dwarf!

Maryse pouted, and the smile faded from her face.

"No manners at all."

Inas hesitated for a moment, then turned to Maryse and said, "I have no connection with the Savior of Dark Light. I have merely inherited that power. Now, I am Inas, not some Savior of Dark Light. I am just me!"

She had actually known about her origins for a long time.

Inas had actually demonstrated the immense power of Dark Light when she was very young in Annottales.

At that time, many people of Annottales knelt down and worshiped her with roaring cheers.

Inas at that time found it amusing, but later on, she increasingly felt bored, and eventually even disgusted.

She was definitely not someone’s reincarnation.

Savior of Dark Light, was only my past life!

Inas, this name will be more memorable in the future than Savior of Dark Light!

After hearing the other person’s words and considering her own thoughts, Maryse chuckled, squinted her eyes, and remained non-committal.

"Well, whatever you think is fine. Actually, I’m not very interested in this matter, after all, you’re not my child… I just want to know, are you really his daughter?"

"What do you mean, exactly?"

Inas found herself puzzled, wasn’t she his daughter? The formidable "Keeper of Secrets" from the Babel Tower and the Viscount Edmond from the Kingdom of Dark Light in the old world.

Who is this person that the half-elf woman is referring to?

Isn’t it the "Keeper of Secrets"?

Kaluoer suddenly said, "Although both of them disappeared at the same time and have similar abilities, we don’t have concrete evidence to prove that they are the same person."

Maryse chuckled and said, "Hehe, that’s what you say, but deep down inside, you don’t really think that way… Both you and I secretly believe that they might be the same person."

"Maybe."

Kaluoer lowered her head.

"That’s truly despicable! Really!" Maryse gritted her teeth and exclaimed, "This person, it’s better for them to just drop dead!"

"Don’t scold him."

Kaluoer suddenly lifted her head, appearing quite displeased.

"Okay, I won’t scold him right now. After all, as a noble, I’m used to these kinds of things. Actually, I don’t really care, but what bothers me more is being deceived… I am curious about something else though, why did you and him have a daughter together?"

Maryse spoke, her eyes widening in surprise.

After hearing this question, Kaluoer remained silent for a long time, calmly gazing at the sky.

"Perhaps some people were not proactive enough. In matters like this, it’s always the early bird that catches the worm."

Finally, Maryse was left speechless.

Perplexed, Inas fell into silence, vaguely sensing that the relationship between the two individuals was very special, and it seemed to involve her own father.

"Auntie, is this Tatsumi City?"

With icy blue tresses flowing, a handsome face, and eyes emitting a commanding aura, a young man dressed in casual white attire calmly sat by the window in a fried chicken restaurant.

He is Inas’ brother, Nino.

And sitting across from them was Evie, wearing a new white evening gown. Her appearance hadn’t changed much, but her hair, like her younger sister’s, had grown much longer.

Evie nodded gently as she ate her fried chicken and fries, lazily saying, "Yes, Nino, this is Tatsumi City… Actually, I haven’t been to Tatsumi City much myself. It’s quite nice to see the appearance of the old times here, it brings back memories."

Nino looked calmly at everything around him.

Just like her mother, she enjoyed observing everything with a blank expression on her face.

No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

Evie also had no idea, because this young boy had been like this for ten years – calm, melancholic, and keeping his thoughts to himself.

In terms of personality, she took after her mother… she thought to herself.

But Evie could actually understand what Kaluoer was thinking because they had a connection, yet she could never quite figure out Nino.

Perhaps, this personality wasn’t just inherited from her mother.

Nino mumbled to himself, "The Babel Tower conference… hmm, I can’t wait for it."
