Because she didn't know if there was a time limit to this ending, such as an automatic explosion that would deduct 30 HP after 600 seconds, Xia Ling immediately started making plans.

"I just took a look, and most of the people in this tower are not concentrated on the lower level, but rather on the upper level."

"However, once they make a commotion, these people will come down in a very short time. Don't ask how they'll come down; they'll most likely jump."

"Therefore, when we move downwards, we must allocate enough manpower to stop those above us."

"You need Wendy and me to go, right?" Highmore immediately realized.

"That's right. Whether it's Highmore's Paranoid Bubble or Wendy's tornado against the group, they are both good at dealing with large numbers of enemies."

"Reed will be with you too. Of course, her main goal is not to cause destruction, but to try to stop anyone who wants to get down."

"As for Dr. Kal'tsit... don't summon mon3tr yet, just follow me and Kiana."

"Mon3tr is too large. Once it's deployed, it will completely expose our location. If it's not necessary, it's better to sneak around."

"Don't worry." Kal'tsit nodded. "Mon3tr and I will protect everyone."

Suppressing the urge to continue the sentence, Xia Ling looked at Kiana.

"Kiana, protect Sirin."

"If necessary, you can take her with you and leave directly. The most important thing is to complete the mission."

"Yes!" Kiana nodded emphatically. "This time, we will definitely give Sirin a different ending."

"Okay, Highmore, as soon as I make a move, you take action on your end."

"I only tested the strength of one of the monsters. There might be stronger ones above. You need to be careful."

"Don't worry," Flame Willow said casually. "One Herrscher -level fighter plus two S-rank fighters should be enough to hold off Otto for a while."

"You... I don't think I've offended you recently, have I?" Xia Ling shook her head helplessly. "Now that we both know the situation, let's set off."

"Did Xia Ling send us a signal?"

Sitting listlessly on the railing, Flame Willow glanced at Highmore, who was whispering to Wendy.

"No, there's still no news about the tentacles I left with her... Wait, there's news now."

"Alright!" Flame Willow jumped up. "Who wants to go first?"

"Wendy, my commotion is too loud, and the effect of pulling monsters might be a bit beyond imagination."

Upon hearing this, Wendy nodded obediently, then gave the circular upper level of the Babylon Tower a firm grip.

The group immediately felt the air around them being completely mobilized.

Then, a huge cyan vortex began to slowly form and flew upwards. After affecting the entire Babylon Laboratory, the vortex suddenly exploded, turning into tiny wind blades that sliced through every space in the upper level.

Instantly, a cacophony of roars filled the ears of the three.

"I think... Wendy's commotion wasn't much less than yours..."

"Perhaps she didn't think these guys posed much of a threat?"

"Uh, that..."

Wendy suddenly gave an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, I just realized... my previous wind blade attack doesn't seem to have broken through their defenses..."

"All talk and no action, huh...?"

Highmore sighed heavily, "Never mind, let me help you."

A strange low groan came from Highmore's mouth, and in an instant, the howls of all kinds of monsters were easily suppressed by this low groan.

"Great Silence, kid, this is the real value of forcibly taking over the background music."

Highmore suddenly transformed into a gigantic figure, a ring of murky blue water slowly spreading from her body and enveloping the entire layer.

"Wow, you guys can suppress it almost completely right away."

Flame Willow sighed and jumped onto the chitinous shell of the Highmore.

"Come on, get me to low health first."

"Then let them experience what it means for one person to be critically injured while the rest of the team is eliminated."

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Gold Content of Flame Willow is Still Rising

On the other side, Xia Ling and Kal'tsit had just quietly killed a guard standing at the door.

Sirin was led aside by Kiana.

Xia Ling originally planned to work with Kiana, as the two spatial ability users would be able to cooperate better.

However, Sirin seemed to be very resistant to Kal'tsit's white coat when she first appeared. Even after Kal'tsit changed into the Demon Cat outfit, she still refused to leave Kiana's side.

To her, this older sister with white hair seemed to have a strange sense of familiarity.

Kiana was very puzzled by this, but Xia Ling knew the reason perfectly well.

Putting aside Kiana's current gentle and reliable temperament, in a way, Kiana is another possibility that Sirin yearns for, and is her ideal self.

It's perfectly normal for Sirin to subconsciously want to get closer to Kiana.

At that moment, atop the tower of the Babylon Laboratory, accompanied by a blue whirlwind soaring into the sky, Wendy and Highmore began to unleash their incredible power.

"Kiana, hide Sirin well."

After giving a low command, Xia Ling led Kal'tsit into the Imaginary Space, while Kiana held Sirin tightly and hid in a small storage room.

The monsters outside the door began to stir. Those on the upper levels were being driven down, and those on the lower levels were being driven up. All sorts of strange "people" were converging on the Sixth Floor where Wendy and Highmore were.

From what Kiana saw, there was a strange creature dragging a giant syringe, covered in black ribbons, and crackling with electricity.

Are these... all corresponding to the various experiments Sirin underwent in the Babylon Laboratory...? Just from what I've seen, there are already easily recognizable images like straitjackets, syringes, and electric shocks, and many more that I don't recognize...

Feeling Sirin trembling slightly in her arms, Kiana hugged her even tighter.

The monster's commotion quickly turned into a real battle, with various weapon attacks, strange murmurs, and the sound of wind constantly appearing above the two of them.

"It's about time we went, Kiana."

Xia Ling suddenly appeared at the door of the room.

"The good news is that most of the monsters on the third, fourth, and fifth floors have been attracted up there."

As the three of them walked down the stairs, Xia Ling explained.

"But there's bad news. The situation on the second and first floors is unknown, but from what I've observed, no one has come up here."

"There are many large robots on the second floor."

Suddenly, Sirin spoke up timidly.

"I've been to the second floor. There are a lot of robots there, all of them white."

"Autonomous armor, huh... Fine, let's put aside its strength for now, at least I won't have to look at those things that drain sanity."

Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

With their abilities, they are still somewhat capable of dealing with bullet-hell type enemies.

As they descended to the second floor, the three witnessed Kal'tsit pulling her sword from the chest of a gaunt monster.

"We've caught one fish that slipped through the net."

Kal'tsit's words remained brief.

"Most of the sentient monsters have already gone up there; I need to summon them..."

"Forget it, it's just dismantling a mech, there's no need for mon3tr."

Xia Ling shook her head slightly, then pushed the door open.

In an instant, the second layer of alarms blared, and all sorts of protective mechs emitted red light from their eyes.

"It's still more pleasing to the eye to watch these guys fight." Xia Ling looked at the first wave of bullets flying in from the sky and casually opened a portal.

"Come on, Kiana, let me demonstrate to you just how foolish it is to use a mecha to fight spatial abilities."

A horizontally opening door stood in front of the four people, sucking in all sorts of missiles, and then...

"This is the time of judgment!"

Xia Ling imitated the pose of a queen descending, snapped her fingers, and the portal opened again above the mecha. The projectiles sucked into the portal flew towards their master with long trails of flame.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Kiana's eyes lit up, and she was eager to try it out herself.

However, she didn't notice that Sirin, who was standing next to her, also seemed to think that this move was very cool.

Following Xia Ling's example, Kiana attempted to absorb a large number of bullet comments into the Imaginary Space, and then...

"Hey, hey, hey, why am I starting to lose control..."

Kiana opened the Imaginary Space with some difficulty, but the bullets inside did not fly out in an orderly fashion as she wished. Instead, they began to rampage wildly, leaving Kiana scrambling around for a while.

"Be careful." Kal'tsit raised her hand, and the medical gun accurately hit Kiana's body, injecting her with a recovery agent.

"Okay, okay..."

Ignoring Kiana, who was still experimenting with her abilities on the other side, Kal'tsit leaned close to Xia Ling and whispered, "Did you... notice?"

"Yes, starting from the Fifth Floor, the entire tower's surveillance cameras have been watching us the whole time."

"That's why I interrupted you just now..."

Who do you think it could be?

"Who else could it be? Who else could Destiny send to the Babylon Tower at this time of Schicksal... Don't forget, the situation inside the tower is a secret."

Xia Ling sighed, "I'll have to ask you to keep an eye on him this time. I don't have a second page of storybook to limit him anymore."

Sure enough, just as the four of them finished cleaning the second layer of the mechs and arrived at the First Floor...

A golden bolt of lightning flashed from the corner and almost instantly headed straight for Kiana's face.

"Mon3tr!"

Fortunately, Kal'tsit was prepared this time. The shadow that quickly rose from behind her immediately blocked Kiana's path, preventing the lightning from mimicking the Mimicry Seven Thunders of Retribution.

"It really is you... Bishop Otto."

Xia Ling covered her face. "I must buy Flame Willow a gag for the next mission."

Otto didn't reply. Realizing he had been exposed, the golden sniper rifle in his hand transformed into a spherical core. Instantly, the group felt a faint gravitational pull.

"Good news, like other bosses, this Otto can't talk."

Xia Ling quickly opened a portal and teleported mon3tr directly to Otto.

"Instruction: Tactical coordination."

Mon3tr's speed suddenly increased with Kal'tsit's command, and even though Otto had already activated Star of Eden, it still arrived in front of him before he could successfully unleash the Zero Rated Power.

With no other option, Otto had to abandon the Pseudo- Star of Eden and instead use the Judas' Vow to block mon3tr's attack.

"Tsk, this Otto can't talk, it's so strange." Kal'tsit muttered under her breath as she pulled out her medical gun and noticed that Kiana's attention wasn't on her.

"What, you want to hear Otto recite a couple of lines about rising, great noon?"

This comment amused Xia Ling, who was standing nearby. "Otto looks like a pure combat unit. He must have been pulled over by a node to be used as a boss."

"However, given the current situation... being able to suppress mon3tr, which is supported by so many collections, truly lives up to its title of boss."

Chapter Sixty-Five: Sirin: Why would I have such a dream?

Just as Kal'tsit said, aside from being caught off guard by the sudden attack of mon3tr at the beginning, Otto quickly recovered and skillfully switched weapons, turning the tables and firmly suppressing mon3tr.

Although mon3tr has a significant size advantage, Otto can flexibly switch between the Judas' Vow and Heavenly Fire Judgment, and even has various Key of Domination different effects that can be simulated at any time.

"Mon3tr, command: structural reinforcement".

The black shell on mon3tr immediately lit up with a bright yellow light, and Kal'tsit summoned a cross sword and appeared directly beside mon3tr.

"Kiana, protect Sirin."

Xia Ling gave the order and her figure suddenly disappeared from the battlefield. With mon3tr and Kal'tsit engaged in a fierce battle, there was clearly no need for her to join the fight head-on.
