this infinite world

The Curse of Flesh is a curse spread by Yogg-Saron, the Old God in World of Warcraft, that slowly transforms the early races of Azeroth, who were Titans made of metal and stone, into flesh-and-blood beings with skin, blood, and bones.

In a general sense, this should be considered a curse similar to "degeneration." Its effect is to weaken the Titans' creations, and this curse has also given rise to many races in the canon... just as the ancestors of humans were the Iron Vrykul, the ancestors of dwarves were earth elves made of stone, and the ancestors of gnomes were mechanical gnomes.

However, even Yogg-Saron, the Old God who spread the curse of flesh and blood, could not have foreseen that this curse would also allow the degenerated mortal race to develop those essential qualities: courage, determination, and heroism.

...So, the question arises: is it really a "degeneration" for Titan creations, which are devoid of emotion and mechanically maintain "order," to transform into humans who possess emotions and desires, and who, though weak, can unleash unimaginable power at crucial moments?

……

Tier eventually redeemed the Space Knight bloodline.

This was not only because of his desire to "become human," but also because the recommendation of the main god was not unfounded. Tier was indeed very suitable for this bloodline... After strengthening his bloodline to double A-level, Tier's combat power was greatly enhanced. His normal speed in close combat was comparable to Zhang Heng when he activated "bullet time - five times speed," and his strength and resistance to blows far surpassed Zhang Heng's. As long as his core parts were not damaged, he would not be in any danger.

As a result, the Arctic team finally had a close-range main combat member at the forefront to fight on the front line. With Tier 1s charging into battle, the team's pressure suddenly decreased... It can be said that this S-level side story was really worthwhile, as it was a pure numerical monster.

"Well then, it's my turn next."

Following Tier, Ochi, a master of mental power control, finally chose his own enhancement. Without hesitation, the young man opened his mouth and firmly declared, "I want to exchange for the Cloud Thunder Giant bloodline."

"The Thunder Giant of the Clouds?"

Compared to the well-known "Cyclops" and "Hundred-Armed Giant" bloodlines in various myths and legends, the "Cloud Thunder Giant" bloodline is something most people have never even heard of, let alone tried to exchange for... But fortunately, with the existence of the omnipotent "God", Chu Hao quickly found the corresponding bloodline, and surprisingly, this bloodline was actually more advanced than the two bloodlines mentioned above.

"The Cloud Thunder Giant, according to the description from the main god, is the supreme bloodline closest to the Titans, the royal family of giants. It possesses the ability to wield heavenly punishment and is born with the authority to command the thunder of the nine heavens. When the bloodline awakens, it can cause celestial phenomena with every move it makes, and when it is angry, thunderclouds surge and the sky changes color... It sounds pretty powerful."

There are advantages to being expensive. Whether it's the explanation from the main god or the fact that it requires an A-level side quest to start, just like the Tier cosmic knights, it all proves that the "Cloud Thunder Giant" bloodline that Ochi chose for himself is an excellent choice.

But that's why Chu Hao was puzzled as to why the other party would choose such a bloodline from the vast sea of ​​bloodlines. After all, the mental power controller and the word "giant" are not exactly unrelated, but at least not closely related: "Oqi, what are you thinking? Why do you want to exchange for this bloodline?"

“I… had a dream while I was in Rivendell.”

Although hesitant, Ochi finally gritted his teeth and revealed the specific reason why he chose to make this exchange: "In that dream, although my name was Ochi, I was a half-giant living in a human tribe, possessing the bloodline of the Cloud Thunder Giant..." "And I am also Qi of the Ochi tribe, the son of Yue, and the grandson of Ye..."

Thus, Ochi recounted his dream in detail. Although it seemed like just a dream, the vividness of the dream and the lingering sensations after waking up made it impossible to regard it as an ordinary dream. This was why Ochi revealed his dream in its entirety... It was an apocalypse! And the events in that dream might actually be real events that happened in his past life!

As the leader of the rebel organization, Chu Hao originally did not believe in reincarnation, but since entering the God Space, he has experienced a lot and has been able to fully accept some new knowledge that he had never known before. Naturally, he would not easily deny Oqi... Especially when he recalled how he, as "Hao", held the Haotian Mirror and self-destructed, and how a wisp of blue light in the dream actually came to reality and turned into the Haotian Mirror fragments in his hand, Chu Hao could no longer say a word of dissent.

However, in this situation, it's best to ask the most experienced and knowledgeable person among those present. So, Chu Hao directly looked at Yang Yun beside him and asked, "...Yang Yun, what do you think? Is what Aoqi said true?"

"Is that even a question? Of course it's true!"

Before Yang Yun could speak, the slime Varro beside him twisted its body and gurgled, "It's just reincarnation, isn't that normal? The Main God Space is a place for training and reincarnation. It's normal for some great figures from previous lives to be attracted and follow their inner guidance to enter the Main God Space."

"You should know, back when I was a member of the Reincarnation Squad, there was a truly important person reincarnated in our team..."

"Cough cough."

Just as Varo, in this state of mind, was about to blurt out a major secret of the first generation of reincarnation teams, Yang Yun quickly coughed twice to interrupt him... After all, whether it was "Gong Yeyu is the reincarnation of Tongtian" or "Pei Jiao is the reincarnation of the Human Emperor Fuxi," these things were top secrets even in the multiverse. To talk about them here now was obviously a bit too much of a boast.

"But... I wasn't exactly a big shot in my past life either."

Ochi didn't pay attention to Varo's words. On the contrary, he was quite anxious and uncertain: "In fact, in the end, I could only resort to self-destruction. I failed to protect the humans I swore to protect. In fact, in the mouths of those enemies, I wasn't even human, nor was I a giant..."

"Don't worry, to put it simply, I've seen the noblest alien races and the most vicious humans."

Yang Yun stepped forward and patted Oqi on the shoulder, saying, "Stand tall, Oqi."

"When you can hold this kind of thought, you're already a true hero." (End of Chapter)
