Chapter 798 Balance
The Gale Apostle and its followers traveled through the dark seabed. After successfully seizing the remains of the Tower of Babel, they did not return to the Abyssal Crevice where the three Miracle Buildings were located, but instead chose to head to another sea area.
Soon, they passed through a long underground river and entered an underground cave. After an unknown amount of time, they flapped their wings like fins, slowly pushing their bodies towards the surface.
Splash!
With a burst of water, the Gale Apostle and its followers jumped out of the sea and landed on a piece of land.
Looking around, this was an extremely special terrain.
This was a huge underwater cave located inside a giant underwater extinct volcano. The lower part of the volcano was buried in the sea, while the upper part was exposed above the sea.
The cave was in the upper part of the volcano, and the volcano's crater had been blocked by several eruptions. The only way to enter was through the underground passage below the sea!
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary extinct volcano. Only by entering the interior could one discover its hidden wonders.
The volcano was a natural barrier, and no one would know that the Gale Apostle and its followers had stored the remains of the Tower of Babel in this place!
Neither Li Tianran nor the other apostles could find it here!
The followers walked onto the land and placed the cargo boxes in relatively flat positions. In the depths of the cave, there were more than a dozen large cargo ships. These were the ships that had been dragged into the sea by the Beast Kings, carrying steel from Gale Island, and had also been transported here through the underground river.
The Gale Apostle strode forward and violently pried open a sealed box. It held up a piece of yellow crystal that flickered with fluorescence. The intense and terrifying radiation and energy were out of control, radiating wildly in all directions.
The radiation, which would be enough to cause the flesh of an Evolver to rot, could not shake the Gale Apostle in the slightest.
At this moment, the Gale Apostle looked at the yellow crystal with a trace of sadness in its eyes.
"Prepare to repair the energy storage engine..."
The Gale Apostle was silent for a moment, then spoke to the followers surrounding it: "Be quick, we don't have much time."
At the last joint conference of the ancient civilizations, the task given to the Gale Apostle by the other three apostles was to enter the human world to gather information and snoop on intelligence. This kind of task should of course be carried out quietly, without causing too much commotion and attracting attention.
Obviously, the Gale Apostle did not follow the instructions of the other three apostles. Its attack on Base 550, as Li Tianran guessed, was its own decision and not a decision of the ancient civilization!
So why did it do this?
Since the last joint conference, after the Gale Apostle noticed that the other three apostles' attitude towards it had changed, it had this idea in its mind.
In an ancient civilization that values strength, the Gale Apostle's group, which had lost its Miracle Building, would naturally have its status plummet. Although the other three apostles promised to help it regain the Sky Castle in future wars, but…
With a little thought, one would know that this possibility was too small!
First of all, the authority of the Sky Castle was in Li Tianran's hands. To regain it, Li Tianran must be killed, and the difficulty of killing Li Tianran was naturally conceivable.
Killing Li Tianran was equivalent to directly defeating human civilization!
Not to mention how long it would take to do this, even if the apostles really killed Li Tianran with all their efforts and regained the Sky Castle, would they really be willing to give this precious Miracle Building to the Gale Apostle?
The ancient civilization was a force composed of six different groups, and they were not monolithic. In the past, countless wars had occurred between them, only to unite out of necessity for survival.
And the value of a Miracle Building was enough for the other three apostles to abandon the Gale Apostle group!
Now that they had killed Li Tianran and defeated the great enemy of human civilization, the ancient civilization was in an invincible state in this era. Therefore, the three apostles would most likely directly divide the resources in the Sky Castle equally, and enslave the Gale Apostle group that had lost its Miracle Building!
Although they were groups of the same civilization, there was not much deep affection between the apostles. In the absence of external threats, in order to live with more resources, they would definitely not mind exterminating other weak groups, just like they used to be very cold and decisive in hunting down the group of the first Earth Apostle!
Therefore, after realizing this, the Gale Apostle did not believe the promises of the other three apostles, but chose to repair the Tower of Babel on its own.
It must repair the core part of the Tower of Babel before Li Tianran was killed by the other three apostles, so that it could have the power to protect itself in the future.
Because only when facing external enemy pressure, the other three apostles would maintain a short period of peace and balance with the Gale Apostle. Once the external threat disappeared, the other three apostles would definitely not mind making the Gale Apostle their vassal, or directly letting it disappear from this world.
There were fewer and fewer resources on Blue Star. Every time a group was missing, the remaining groups could get more resources.
The Gale Apostle knew very well what kind of cold-blooded and ruthless guys its "companions" were!
But at this time, some people may ask, why did the Gale Apostle still choose to join the most dangerous Great Desert battlefield with the Night Apostle, putting itself in danger, when it knew that the other apostles were so cruel?
This question was actually easy to answer, because it was not that it wanted to go to the Great Desert at first, but was forcibly arranged to the Great Desert battlefield by other apostles!
Among the major groups of the ancient civilization, there were also strong and weak. The overall strength of the Gale Apostle group was the weakest of the six major groups, and its own voice was very low. If it was not for the appearance of the second Earth Apostle, who proposed the concept of "balance" in the ancient civilization group and did not allow internal wars, I am afraid that the Gale Apostle's group would have been gradually eaten away by other groups over countless years.
The second Earth Apostle possessed unparalleled power. When he led his group back to the ancient civilization, all the apostles were trembling with fear, because they had participated in the pursuit and extermination of the Homo sapiens group, and thought that the Earth Apostle wanted to come back for revenge. However, the Earth Apostle did not launch a full-scale war, but fought alone with the other five apostles. After beating the five apostles to near death, he confirmed his status as a overlord, and then proposed the concept of the ancient civilization prohibiting civil wars and balancing groups.
Under the strong interference of the second Earth Apostle, the weaker Gale Apostle group was able to coexist with other groups to this day.
And before, when hearing that Li Tianran was about to attack the Triangle Tower, the Gale Apostle also expressed its attitude very clearly to participate in the war.
It was not really concerned about the Earth Apostle, but worried that once the Earth Apostle was killed, the balance within the ancient civilization would be broken, and its situation would become very difficult.
But after that battle, the balance was still broken irresistibly.
The Earth Apostle lost consciousness, and the Gale Apostle's Miracle Building was destroyed!
At this point, the Gale group entered its darkest moment!
