In Ark Simulator, why do I always get a tough start?

Chapter 35 Ascend to the top of the tower and face the twin queens!
"boom!"

"Hold the gate! Quickly! We absolutely cannot let these rebels break into the tower!"

"Quickly, send men to the other territories and have the nobles there send troops to suppress the rebels!"

The Twin Towers, this magnificent structure built on the ruins of the Witch King's Tower after the Twin Queens overthrew him, probably never imagined that this day would come.

[Years ago, the Witch King was defeated by the Twin Queens, and his body fell from the tower.]

At that time, the dead witch king was cursed and trampled upon by countless people who had suffered because of his tyranny, until even his horns were cut off.

Today, it is the same group of oppressed people, the same group of indignant civilians.

Now, however, they have become the greatest force in overthrowing the rule of the Twin Queens!

Inside the tower, the twin queens' last line of defense is their trusted confidants, the "Voice of the Queen."

These fully armed elites, whose strength is comparable to that of the Golden Law Guard, are now all gathered inside the tower.

They exerted all their strength, even to the point of exhaustion, unleashing Originium Arts to breach the impending gate, transforming themselves into the twin queens' final shield.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Twin Towers were to suffer a sudden riot or invasion, their strength, combined with the towers' already formidable defensive fortifications, would not be insufficient to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Unfortunately, as the Gemini Queens' personal guards, they were unaware of just how terrifying their opponents truly were.

Reinforcements? Impossible. Almost all the nobles have sided with you the moment you became regent.

Even if a few nobles remain loyal to the Twin Queens, their military strength is simply no match for the "Son of the Witch King."

The civilians surrounding the Twin Towers, layer upon layer, were more than enough to prevent anyone from attempting to escape.

The outcome of this battle was decided the moment it began.

As time went by, more and more "Voices of the Queen" fell, exhausted from overusing Originium Arts.

Victory was in sight, but you had already lost patience.

“Your stubborn resistance will only cause Letania to bleed more blood; it will be utterly meaningless.”

"Since you are willing to die for the Twin Queens, then I will grant your wish!"

Your words, along with the mace, sent chills down the spines of the Queen's voices within the tower.

But they had no other choice; with a do-or-die mentality, they used every last bit of Originium Arts to reinforce the tower.

And you are even less likely to show them mercy.

Chen Qi, standing outside the tower, coldly gave the order:
"Everyone, gather your spells and unleash them all at once when I give the order."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

At your command, fifty secret police officers, hundreds of Golden Law Guards, and countless civilians, sorcerers, and musicians of Letania converged their Originium Arts on a single point—

[At that moment, the chaotic and disordered energy you gathered was enough to destroy everything!]

[Enough to rival the Witch King's strongest attack that destroyed the Gallic vanguard!]

"Prepare—release!"

"boom!"

The destructive energy transformed into a purplish-black demonic dragon, roaring towards the Twin Towers with an overwhelming force capable of annihilating everything!

[And at the instant the "dragon" struck the Twin Towers, the gate collapsed and disintegrated almost without resistance, until the remains turned to ashes.]

The remaining resistance of the "Queen's Voices" within the tower was utterly crushed, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

But the "Dragon's" offensive didn't stop there.

"Roar!!"

The dragon, constructed using Originium Arts, transformed into countless chaotic "viruses" the moment it struck the Twin Towers, infiltrating their defense system.

In an instant, invaded and destroyed by countless terrifying Originium Arts, the Twin Towers' defense system offered almost no resistance and was completely destroyed.

[In an instant, explosions caused by the collapse were occurring throughout the Twin Towers.]

The collapse of the defense system means that the tower of this strongest fortress in Letania has been completely breached.

It still stands here.

But just like the thrones of the Gemini Queens, they are now utterly useless.

"clatter."

Amidst the rising dust and utter silence, you were the first to step into the breached tower.

What appeared before him was a scene of utter devastation.

Dozens of members of the "Queen's Voice" were blasted apart by the aftershocks of the devastating spell, dying in agony, bleeding from all seven orifices, their faces contorted in agony from the backlash of Originium Arts.

The few remaining lucky survivors were completely incapacitated; even standing was a struggle for them, yet they still tried desperately to raise their weapons to fight back.

Their bravery is commendable, and their heroic bearing deserves our utmost respect.

But there was not a trace of emotion in your eyes.

Because you know they are your enemies.

"...What should we do with them, Your Majesty?"

The mace emerged from behind you.

She looked at the "Queen's Voices" before her, so weak they couldn't even defeat a healthy commoner, and a flicker of pity crossed her eyes.

But she knew very well that their fate was not in their own hands.

What is your decision regarding this?

"—Secret Police"

Before any options even appeared, Chen Qi gave an order and summoned his elite troops.

"exist!"

Fifty fully armed secret police officers arrived before Chen Qi immediately after receiving orders, awaiting the command from their sovereign.

Soon, they received Chen Qi's icy orders.

“Kill them, and all the resistance fighters inside the tower.”

"After completing the mission, come to the highest point to meet me."

“The mace, and all the Golden Law Guards.”

Chen Qi raised his head, stared at the top of the spiral staircase, and launched the final attack.

"Follow me, march toward the Gemini Queens!"

Ignoring the bloodshed and carnage before you, you resolutely stepped onto the stairs.

As you climb the steps leading to the top of the tower, it's as if you've experienced your entire life.

From the lowest slums, step by step, he rose to the pinnacle of power in Letania.

[But you didn't originally need to embark on such a legendary and arduous journey. In this world, you have loving parents, your own glory, your own work, and your own respect.]

But their appearance destroyed your once peaceful and happy life, forcing you onto this path of no return.

From the moment you embarked on this path, you understood that there was no turning back.

If the road ahead is destined to be stained with blood, then let hell be set ablaze by this flame of vengeance!

This is your choice, your revenge, your journey!

"Bang." Finally, Chen Qi, who had reached the top floor, pushed open the door of the tower.

Before him, the twin empresses, one in white and one in black, sat regally on their thrones.

Despite their dire situation, their expressions remained unchanged as they silently watched the Golden Law Guards, who had originally been their subordinates, surround them.

And Chen Qi and Jian, whom they once looked down upon, are getting closer and closer to their throne.

"—I already said that."

When Chen Qi was only twenty steps away from the Twin Queens, he stopped.

He gazed at the twin empresses so close to him, no longer needing to conceal his ambition. He revealed his signature cold, regal smile and recited, word by word:

"I will come again."

"...You're right, Qi. You've thwarted our plans against you once again, and you're standing before us once more."

"From the perspective of your opponent, I admire your determination and ability."

Somewhat surprisingly, the one praising you is none other than the Black Queen, who has always considered you her greatest threat.

Even she, who despised you like a witch king, had to admit her political failure in this desperate situation.

But she never considered giving up the fight.

"But... as the Queen of Letania, I will never bow down to the remnants of the Witch King!"

"If you want the throne of Letania—"

The Black Queen slowly rose from her throne. Having prepared herself to die in battle, she finally unleashed her Originium Arts.

Under a burst of domineering purple flames, the strangely shaped spear reappeared in the Black Queen's hand.

At this point, the Black Queen was ready for her final battle.

"Then you'll have to step over my dead body to sit in this position!"

The Black Queen pointed her gun at Chen Qi and shouted sternly:
"I am one of the Queens of Letania, the 'Ruthless Authority'! Hildergard Helimmat!"

"I am the sharpest sword of Letania! The sharpest sword to pierce the heart of the Witch King, the sharpest sword on this land!"

"Which of you dares to step forward and fight?!"

Having said that, the Black Queen no longer suppressed her aura, and the purplish-black flames of destruction spread wildly, engulfing the entire hall.

However, her flames did not bring light; instead, they devoured all the light around them!
In an instant, the entire hall was shrouded in darkness, leaving only her eerie purple flames burning.

For a time, even though Chen Qi's side had gained an absolute advantage.

Even if over a hundred Golden Law Guards were to exert their combined strength, it might not be impossible for them to defeat the Black Queen.

Even so, they still had fifty secret police officers and countless "general reserves" of Leitanian citizens.

However, under the absolute pressure of the Black Queen, the Golden Law Guards still felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.

Yes, their opponent is the Twin Queens, who can even defeat the Witch King!
Although the White Queen did not express it explicitly at this time.

But who can be sure that the White Queen will remain a bystander forever?

If the Gemini Queens join forces, who on this land would dare to challenge them?

"Leytania, the sharpest sword?"

Faced with this scene, Jian, who was standing next to Chen Qi, revealed a smile of great interest.

She dragged the greatsword that had helped her win three championships in the knightly tournaments of Kazimierz and stood in front of the Black Queen.

"Then let me, the 'Sword of the Witch King,' experience your strength, Your Majesty."

"—Jian is just a piece of trash who can't use Originium Arts."

With a rather sarcastic tone, Jian smiled and introduced his identity in Letania.

But that doesn't mean Jian isn't angry.

In the slums of Letania, the hatred that constantly plagued him as he struggled for survival lingered in Jian's mind.

This hatred and humiliation drove her to keep living until she met the person who would change her destiny.

But the beauty of today doesn't mean she can forget the hatred of the past.

And now, one of the highest leaders of Letania, whom she hated, was right in front of her.

He too must carry out his revenge.

"Be careful, mace."

Chen Qi, who fully understood Jian's thoughts, did not stop her, but subtly reminded her as Jian passed by.

This simple sentence caused the mace to pause slightly.

"...Don't worry, Qi."

With a slight smile playing on her lips, Jian responded to him in the most relaxed tone:
"You told me back in the slums that in the future, I would become a powerful figure who could rival the Twin Queens."

"I have to thank you, Qi. You really put me at the pinnacle of power and let me fight against strong opponents I never imagined I would face."

"And I will definitely not let you down."

Having said that, Jian turned his gaze back to the Black Queen who was holding a gun in front of him, and walked forward without any hesitation or concern.

The Black Queen stared coldly at the mace, whose body showed no trace of Originium Arts fluctuations. This artificial nemesis of the Witch King knew that the mace was not the best opponent for her.

But a hint of disdain still lingered in her eyes as she asked calmly:

"You really think you can beat me with a defective product that can't even use Originium Arts?"

"Absolutely." Jian's answer was crisp and decisive.

The Black Queen's humiliation brought a cruel and excited smile to Jian's face.

That was the smile she would show when she met a worthy opponent in the slums.

This foreshadows a fierce, life-or-death struggle that is about to begin.

"Are you prepared, Your Majesty? The artificial empress?"

He gave a mocking, disdainful smile.

"Get ready to fight me with all your might."

"Ah, but you don't have a mother either, so you probably don't know what that feeling is like?"

"With no parents and no one to teach you, you probably have very little humanity left in your hearts, right? It's only natural that you would be abandoned by the people who have always protected you."

"—The remnants of the Witch King, you're courting death!"

The mace delivered her belated humiliation, deeply provoking the Black Queen's proud nerves.

In an instant, as if sensing the anger in their master's heart, the purple flames burned even more rampantly.

Hatred and hatred.

Martial arts and magic.

A born warrior and the nemesis of the Witch King.

A fierce battle is about to erupt.

Chapter Two Today
Tomorrow I'll beat the Gemini Queen to her knees and recruit her as a star (just kidding).

Please give me your support, dear readers!
