Deep Sea Hunter, but Deep Sea Titan

This does not mean that the broken "mother-daughter relationship" can be repaired so easily, and Kal'tsit told Amiya before she left that she "has no intention of repairing her relationship with this person".

Compared to Kal'tsit, who seems like a very mature "eldest daughter," the Doctor sincerely felt that, according to Kal'tsit, Amiya, who joined Rhodes Island because she was adopted and treated by him, was more like her daughter.

Amiya's attachment and trust towards her after she lost her memory truly gave the Doctor a feeling of being cared for like a warm, comforting daughter.

When Lotin emerged from the sarcophagus, which had been damaged and then collapsed and buried, Laurentina was the first to rush forward and return to her place, sniffing alertly as she looked around.

"Yes, I can smell that hooded woman."

"Could it be that they're inside...? Did the hooded woman and the old cat send us away?"

"No, ordinary women simply cannot arouse Nautilus's interest."

"And he won't let this kind of thing interfere with his important work."

Laurentina's expression instantly turned extremely sad, as if the sky had fallen. No one knew what she was thinking while waiting outside.

"Shark, what's with your vivid imagination?"

Skadi said that Lotin doesn't seem interested in her anymore, and she can't understand why Laurentina thinks the hooded woman is a threat.

If even that hooded woman could attract Loting's attention, then there's no reason why Loting would be indifferent to him.

“My unfamiliar blood relative, you are always so slow-witted, which is why you are always a step behind others.”

Laurentina's tone was quite earnest.

"Haha, it's okay."

"I will always be number one in your heart."

Laurentina leaned against Lotin's helmet, seemingly plotting something daring.

Just cover up the scent of that hooded woman, hehe.

"I just went to teach a rebellious old cat a lesson."

Actually, Lothing didn't go there for this reason at first, but Kal'tsit's attitude really made his blood pressure soar, so he took action to administer the caning punishment and also stacked up the [Heart Steel].

"Speaking of which, I've always been curious about why those two Miss Agors have been traveling with you."

On the way to the tower, the doctor finally asked the question. She had been curious about this question on the roof of the Lungmen Guard Bureau before. What kind of person could be so close to this nun who was the bronze ghost?

“I am the nun of Nautilus, his property.”

Laurentina seemed to have anticipated the Doctor's question, so her answer was well-prepared. Although her tone and demeanor were poised and natural, the content of her speech was rather poor.

“I am the sword of Nautilus.”

Skadi hadn't thought about the problem carefully, but she had a vague feeling that backing down at this time would have devastating consequences, so she made up a plausible explanation on the spot.

Lotin wasn't surprised by Laurentina's answer, but Skadi's answer puzzled him.

This silly orca wasn't like this before, was it?

"I see."

The doctor nodded thoughtfully. Just as she had guessed, ordinary members of the opposite sex could not attract the attention of this brass ghost.

She saw a familiar shadow in "Nautilus," a person whose emotions were just like those of Prisus, whom she could hardly forget—intense and heavy, and once grasped, never to be let go.

"Doctor, what are you thinking?"

Kal'tsit looked at the Doctor with an incredulous expression; the pain from the anchor bar strike was still lingering.

"Kal'tsit, she is my only remaining kin."

"He already knows me very well, but I know nothing about him."

Losing her memory did not lessen her loneliness; instead, it made her even more confused. However, the people of her kind under her spacesuit gave her someone to confide in about her doubts.

The doctor's voice was so soft it was almost a whisper. She wasn't thinking about much else; she was just eager to find common ground with the only fellow countryman on this land.

Chapter 61: The Instigator (Third Update)

High atop the tower, the Supreme Commander of the Reunion Movement is witnessing the battle lines being torn apart.

She was a Drak woman dressed in an elaborate Western-style dress, named Talulah Atrias.

Yes, it's the Drak people, the same Drak people associated with Hillshire and the Drakens, another royal family of Victoria.

This leader of the Reunion Movement, along with the two sisters from Deeppool, became the only three remaining Drak people on this land.

No one knew that the fire dragon wielding the greatsword was actually someone else, until the Ursus infected guerrillas gradually discovered that her actions were becoming increasingly contrary to her former promises.

Just now, she successfully made the Sarkaz bomb maniac who tried to kill her fall from the tower, and satisfied the bloodlust of these Sarkaz by promising a war.

The war she promised was a truly equal fight to the death, neither a pointless slaughter of the weak nor a futile sacrifice like throwing an egg against a rock.

And so, just as they had repeated throughout history, these Sarkaz, even after their commander, the Sarkaz codenamed "W," was pushed off the tower by himself, still chose to fight for themselves.

She believed her plan was perfect, and that even a cunning politician like Wei Yanwu could not escape the inescapable trap she had laid.

She was already the "immortal black serpent" Koschke. In the Duke's scheme, everything had been settled from the year he planted the bomb in Lungmen, forcing Wei Yanwu to hand over his niece Talulah to him.

Talulah is a very innocent child; she was unable to see through his schemes from the very beginning.

As Talulah stabbed herself to death in her chair, he was observing everything from the dark corners of Talulah's heart.

He knew the child was trustworthy enough to earn the trust of the Ursus Infected guerrilla leader, so he allowed Talulah to seek the guerrillas' help, because that would put the sturdy captain in a dilemma where he would have to destroy the Infected flag himself.

He wanted his daughter to die in Lungmen, so that he would have no choice but to fight Rhodes Island and Lungmen to the death.

Kosiché is waiting for an opportunity to turn warriors into tyrants and flags into mere tools.

He found that opportunity: the infected picket system in Ursus further fueled the hatred between ordinary people and the infected, and a tragedy that occurred in a village shook the will of the warriors.

A moment's hesitation was enough for him to take over Talulah's body, because, at a certain moment, Talulah accepted his ideals, even if this acceptance was just a fleeting thought in the heat of the moment.

He anticipated that the Ursus border legions would defy the Imperial Council's resolution, so during the assault on Lungmen, he chose to continue sending Chernobog's city-state identification code, which was his ultimate goal.

Kosichrie, the "Undying Black Serpent," has only one goal: to inject new life into Ursus through another war, and to revitalize this decaying behemoth through destruction and annihilation.

However, an unexpected variable occurred. As the Reunion Movement's offensive rushed towards Lungmen, the pharmaceutical company recruited a terrifying Iberian man wearing a rusty brass diving suit. Together with two Agorians, he repelled the Reunion Movement's fierce attack on Lungmen.

Frostnova survived, and Bodracus refused to be hostile to Rhodes Island again. Even though he was unwilling to attack the Infected as the Shield of the Infected, he would no longer hinder Rhodes Island.

The Bronze Ghost defeated Borocaste and, together with Rhodes Island, cut off the power supply to the sarcophagus. She witnessed the collapse and aftershocks of that battle from the tower.

The grand scheme he had painstakingly laid out throughout his life was dismantled piece by piece by brute force.

Now, he—or rather, this body's half-sister and the young leader of Rhodes Island—has arrived at his destination.

And that devastating bronze giant—sometimes sighted as a colossal figure of gold and silver—is probably already on its way here.

Koschei was not confident in facing Rhodes Island's young leader, her sister who was growing into a warrior, and the spoiler who had thwarted her plans, even though the body belonged to a powerful red dragon.

At the very least, he ensured that Chen's plan to turn against Talulah would not fail.

The last Sarkaz mercenaries were pouring fire, making it difficult for the Rhodes Island task force escorting Amiya to the tower in Chernobog to get any closer.

This tower is a symbol of Chernobog's prosperity. An astronaut's home physiological repair device once supplied a large amount of energy to this city. Unfortunately, no matter how prosperous the city is, it is not something that the infected who died in the mines have the right to enjoy.

Among the rubble beneath the tower, a sword sheath covered in scratches caught Amiya's attention.

"This is Commander Chen's sword sheath."

Amiya bent down and picked up the sword sheath. This wasn't the first time she had stepped into such a brutal battlefield; the smell of burning always irritated her nostrils.

"Is it a trap?"

Amiya suspected that Talulah had deliberately put Chen up there.

"If she were a PhD, how would she make her judgment?"

Despite lacking some essential common sense, the amnesiac doctor's tactical intuition and battle planning are always terrifyingly reasonable.

"No, the current Commander Chen is not someone who can be easily killed."

Amiya forced herself to start thinking independently.

She understood; Commander Chen simply wanted to know the truth, to know why the Talulah she remembered had become the way she was today.

Commander Chen wanted to know what kind of people his sisters had become, while Rhodes Island wanted to know what kind of people the Reunion Movement followed.

A shadow fell over Amiya’s petite figure, just as it had when she first saw the bronze giant emerge from the purple halo on the bridge.

"The Crimson Sky Sword, the sword that slays dragons."

"Disaster is imminent, and sisters will turn against each other."

The brass giant stared at the scabbard, his somber voice conveying the meaning of what Amiya held in her hand.

"what do you mean?"

Amiya could almost hear Chen's roar and Talulah's mockery, or rather, the mockery of "something that resembles Talulah".

"The reason I helped Rhodes Island get to this point is because of the tower."

"A conspiracy woven across two generations, a betrayal for the sake of betrayal."

Lotin looked up at the towering structure that stood out abruptly from the ruins, searching for the key to quickly reach the top.

"Doctor, Dr. Kal'tsit!"

The appearance of the Doctor and Dr. Kal'tsit greatly encouraged Amiya, but the even more awkward atmosphere between the two left Amiya somewhat confused.

Amiya remembered that Kal'tsit used to observe "Nautilus" very carefully, but now Dr. Kal'tsit's gaze kept darting away.

In any case, this at least shows that the function of the sarcophagus has been severed.

"The above is the source of the entire tragedy in Chernobyl."

The doctor gazed at the top of the tower, as if the sound of clashing weapons could reach her ears.

Yes and no. Even if the tyrant in the tower doesn't exploit the conflict between the infected and the non-infected, other schemers will, and the Doctor understands this.

Even after learning some truths from another member of her race while in the sarcophagus, she made the same decision: to continue healing the wounds that tore the land apart.

"Little rabbit, I'll take you up the tower. The truth about the Reunion Movement is only meaningful if you learn it yourself."

Lotin could have simply rushed up and killed Talulah, but things are different now than they were in Outcast.

This young leader of Rhodes Island needs this opportunity to hone her skills. Even if Lothing ultimately executes this tyrant, Amiya must be allowed to confront the truth behind Talulah alone.

This is precisely the conclusion that Loting has drawn based on the plot he knows. This "demon king of another race" needs to grow up as soon as possible. Like the Doctor, she is someone who needs to be treated with caution.

She is also a potential breakthrough point.

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Clown Performance

High up in the tower, two dragons are facing off.

As the Crimson Sky was exposed to the air, Draco's flames vanished the instant they touched the blade, as if the Crimson Sky were swallowing the heat wave in large gulps.

Undeniably, it was fratricide.

"My sister, how have you been? It seems you've grown into a reliable police officer."

Talulah's expression was calm, but her tone was full of sarcasm, as if the person in front of her was not her sister, but someone destined to fail in a conspiracy.

That wasn't Talulah at all. Koschei's curse had already taken over her mind when Talulah chose to burn down that Ursus village.

At this moment, a giant anchor secured the edge of the tower's top, and Lotin's chosen route completely avoided Talulah's Sarkaz guards.

The bronze giant climbed up from the edge of the tower. Loting frowned as he looked at Koschie, who was threatening Chen Huijie with Talulah's life.

He left Skadi and Laurentina at the foot of the tower to keep an eye on the Ursus Third Army vanguard, who supported Kosichean and were mixed in with the Reunion Movement, preparing to close in.

They tacitly allowed this tragedy to occur, and then entered the battlefield at this time, attempting to wipe out their enemies in one fell swoop.

Amiya jumped off his hand, determined to free the ring and see the truth behind the sisters.

A sea of ​​fire came into her view.

A village of Ursus covered in snow, a group of villagers numb under the corrupt rule of Ursus, an innocent infected man killed simply out of fear, and a warrior consumed by hatred because of it.

It was at this moment that Koschei stepped out from the dark corners of Talulah's heart and into the spotlight; Talulah could no longer turn back.

At this point, no one except Talulah knew what had happened here. What happened afterward is well-known.

Even a fleeting moment of agreement born of hatred gave Black Serpent an opportunity to exploit.

Amiya opened her eyes. Her tears were still wet. But she had already seen everything.
