Ark Undead

In the dream, the scene that Greyhound and W experienced, the statue they saw—all the information and clues pointed to the king that Kal'tsit served.

Theresia.

The Undead also know very little about Theresa.

The Doctor and these elite operators only mentioned it to the Undead from time to time.

Theresa is a benevolent queen, and her true identity should be one of the two queens of Kazdel.

Theresa has an excellent reputation. Everyone knows that this queen has the world in her heart, cares about the infected, and is concerned about the Sarkaz race.

In the war between the two kings in Kazdel, Theresa originally had the highest support rate. With all the infected groups defaulting to supporting Theresa, she unexpectedly lost the war.

Details emerging from that war revealed that a traitor had killed the gentle king. This traitor was initially believed to be the scholar who was closest to the king.

After all, no one could see what was going on in the mind of that doctor known as the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel.

Moreover, according to the elite operators, the Doctor hardly stayed in Babel during that period, and was going out everywhere, and no one knows what he was doing.

Such a suspicious route would naturally arouse suspicion from many people.

However, Kal'tsit initially believed that the Doctor had killed Theresa, but she gradually dismissed the idea.

As for the reason, she never told anyone.

But now, the king who was originally only related to Kazdel has miraculously appeared in the dream of Iberia and Agor.

This is quite bizarre.

Even if Greyhound and W didn't make a request to the Undead, the Undead still need to talk to Kal'tsit and clarify the matter.

Since his awakening, the mysteries surrounding this king have never ceased.

The current composition of Rhodes Island is almost entirely centered around the legacy of this king. However, the Undead do not have a clear understanding of Theresa.

So, after Kal'tsit saw Gladys off, she was greeted by a visit from an undead.

Kal'tsit didn't seem surprised by the arrival of the undead; she had excellent self-control.

"Rare visitor."

Kal'tsit reached out her hand to the chair opposite her at the table.

"Just tell me what you're here for. There's no need for any pleasantries between us."

Even though Kal'tsit's relationship with the undead has improved somewhat, their cold and distant way of communicating remains unchanged.

After all, they all felt that this was the most efficient way to communicate.

"In my dream, I met Greyhound and W."

The undead had barely sat down when his words made Kal'tsit's hand holding the coffee cup tremble involuntarily.

"The two of them are in Iberia."

"It can only be said that it has their own style."

Kal'tsit took a sip of coffee to calm herself down.

"Do you know what they came to Iberia for? And why are they involved with dreams?"

Kal'tsit tried to take control of the conversation; since she was willing to talk, the Undead was happy to have a proper chat with her.

"They came to Iberia, and you know exactly why. Greyhound and W are both from Rhodes Island."

The Undead then passed the question back to Kal'tsit.

"They came to Iberia for Theresa, this woman."

As expected, Kal'tsit's expression faltered when she heard Theresa's name.

He raised an eyebrow and tugged at the corners of his mouth.

“Wang, how do you know about her? I don’t remember telling you anything about her.”

"Just because you don't speak doesn't mean others won't. I need to know her past, the cause of her death."

The immortal man placed his fingers on the table, tapping the surface with his index finger.

He sat down but didn't get a cup of coffee, and Kal'tsit didn't even ask him.

That's not important. What's important is that Kal'tsit is trying to avoid the topic.

She must know something.

"..."

Unsurprisingly, Kal'tsit fell into a brief silence after the undead asked the question directly.

She seemed reluctant to talk about it; in the past, when the Undead asked about the King, Kal'tsit would subconsciously change the subject.

But today, this topic must be addressed through Kal'tsit, no matter what.

"Me, Greyhound, and W. In the dream, we found Theresa's statue."

The immortal gave a brief description of the statue.

"The statue of Theresa, held in the arms of an unknown person."

"Why would Theresa be in contact with Agor?"

In fact, if the Doctor were here, he would be very happy to communicate with the Undead.

Kal'tsit was somewhat secretive, and the undead didn't really like her appearance.

However, now that the undead have already been seen, there seems to be no point in Kal'tsit continuing to hide.

After making her decision, Kal'tsit put down her coffee cup.

"I've never really liked you, Mr. Undead."

Kal'tsit's use of such a sentence as an opening remark doesn't sound abrupt.

"From the very first time we met, you should have been able to sense that I harbored obvious hostility, or rather, disgust, towards you."

"Yes."

The Undead nodded; he still remembered the first time he met Kal'tsit.

The two were immediately locked in a standoff. Even at that time, Kal'tsit understood that the arrival of the undead would bring great convenience and assistance to Rhodes Island.

"This has nothing to do with what you have done. But your very existence gives me enough reason to speak ill of you, even though I know it is wrong."

This was the first time Kal'tsit had shown such intense emotions in front of the undead.

The look in her eyes as she gazed at the immortals was incredibly complex.

It was a strange gaze, a mixture of disgust and coldness, along with self-reproach and apology.

"Your birth... no, it should be called awakening. Your awakening is not without cost, nor is it without death."

"The doctor always told me not to try to pry into my past or to try to dig up stories from before that time, but I couldn't control myself."

"Because your awakening came at the cost of the king's sacrifice."

Kal'tsit made a surprising statement.

This answer was truly unexpected, even by the immortals.

The Undead always believed that his awakening was caused by the awakening of the Primordial Flame. After all, he had now become the embodiment of the Primordial Flame.

But no one expected that the first fire would reignite.

Is it just a matter of the times, or that people need the first spark?

No, there has never been such a claim.

Everything has its own inevitability.

The Undead subconsciously ignored the reason for the First Flame's rekindling, because he didn't believe it was something human could do.

"In the legends of Kazdel, Kazdel is a land where gods have fallen. Therefore, the will of countless gods remains in Kazdel. And those who are watched by the gods and receive their inheritance are the chosen ones of Kazdel."

"Without a doubt, being a king is a kind of identity for the chosen one. And for Theresa, this identity is a necessary condition for realizing her ideals."

"However, Theresa's ideals were never just to be content with Kazdel."

"She and her brother Therese both had a very long-term vision, but the two were very different."

"Theresia hopes to save more people; war is merely a means, not an inevitable event. But Theresis is different. He sees war as a tool to achieve his ideals, and power itself is a kind of currency that can be traded. Whoever has more currency has absolute dominance."

"The two have different ideals, although their core is the peace of Kazdel and the continuation of the Sarkaz race."

"However, they came into contact with a power hidden beyond the world. That is, the Abyss, as you know it."

When the abyss was mentioned, Kal'tsit's expression became noticeably more ferocious.

"The northern ice plains of Ursus, the southern Demon Cave of Yan Kingdom, and the coast of Iberia—the things beyond these defensive lines are all unknown. The invading monsters have different names, but their essence is not much different."

"The abyss watches over everything in Terra. They lurk in the shadows, waiting for the right opportunity to bloom again on this land."

"During their travels across Terra, Theresa and Theresis witnessed a power that was absolutely beyond human comprehension."

Theresis was overjoyed. He believed he had finally found the tool to realize his ideals. The power of the abyss was the treasure he had been dreaming of.

"But Theresa keenly perceived the filth behind the abyss; she saw the submerged reason and those beautiful emotions."

"The two parted ways as a result, and the Battle of the Two Kings officially began after that separation."

"However, compared to Theresis, who possesses the power of the abyss, Theresia is much weaker."

"Although her compassion and love for all the Sarkaz and the Infected won her the vast majority of support, Theresis did indeed possess a power that could overwhelm Theresia."

“If we cannot prove our brother wrong, even if everyone sides with Theresa in the end, we cannot resist the great forces from beyond this world.”

"It was at this moment that the doctor brought us a solution that was enough to turn the tide."

As she said this, Kal'tsit's breathing quickened involuntarily.

Even Kal'tsit would be reluctant to face that experience again.

“He told us that Theresa’s gentleness was of no use in fighting against darkness and against the abyss.”

"To fight against darkness, we must use fire."

Such words are undoubtedly a denial of Theresa's gentleness. They would invariably enrage all those who support Theresa.

In this respect, Kal'tsit is no exception.
