Ark Simulator, don't I have no physical form?

Volume 6, Chapter 359: Hunting the Two-Headed Sunflower

Skadi paused slightly as Suri had suggested, then took the documents out from the hidden corner. In front of Gladys, the documents vanished from Skadi's hand, leaving Gladys momentarily stunned.

Skadi then looked at Gretia: "Let's keep going, Second Captain."

"...Okay." These must be the abilities that Skadi and Laurentina mentioned about Suri, right? Looks like I'll have to learn more about them later.

Goredia pondered silently as she led her team into the cave below the church. There, they saw Quintus, draped in a black robe, standing in the center of the cave, waiting for them, instead of fleeing.

After seeing Skadi and the others come down, Quintus still had the leisure to utter a few harsh words:

"Since you are unwilling to understand the essence of evolution, the only option is for you to disappear."

Having said that, Quintus no longer suppressed his nature and liberated himself from the limitations of his body. His body continued to twist and grow, eventually transforming into a two-headed sunflower-like sea creature. The difference was that, in the two-headed sunflower that Quintus had become, the sunflower's original position was replaced by eyes encased in fangs.

However, as seawater floods into the caves, the ocean also becomes the domain of deep-sea hunters.

Without any command, the Deepsea Hunters acted in perfect unison after Quintus transformed and launched an attack on him.

Suri's voice echoed in Skadi's mind: "This battle is quite simple. You don't need to give any commands. Just follow your instincts. I'll keep an eye on the First Wordsman for you, but it doesn't seem to be planning to make a move. It's just waiting for your battle to end before it appears."

Skadi didn't think much. At this moment, the blood rushing through her veins left her no time to think. Her desire for battle made her quickly leap across the seawater toward the two-headed sunflower. Her greatsword was aimed at the monster's eyes, and she was ready to pierce through the large eyeballs as soon as she got close.

Under the siege of the Sanger Deepsea Hunters, the Deepsea Bishop Quintus, who already had little combat power, could only wildly wave his tentacles, trying to attack the agile Deepsea Hunters, but each time he was skillfully dodged.

At this point, escape was impossible. No matter how hard Quintus tried, how he screamed or even begged the First Speaker for help, he could not do it.

Because his mutated organs had lost the ability to speak, he could no longer communicate with Skadi and the others as he had before.

Suri made a point of marking it in Skadi's field of vision: "This guy wants to call for help, but unfortunately he doesn't have a mouth and can't speak."

“Hmm.” Skadi nodded, silently wielding her sword to end the monster’s last vestige of life before her. Then, she and Gladys came to the shore and looked toward the location where the First Speaker was hiding.

Should we give chase?

"It will stand up on its own. To be honest, I think the first speaker is cute in some ways for lying. It will do whatever you tell it to do. You can just call it out and fight it to the death."

Skadi couldn't understand Suri's aesthetic sense, but she still raised her greatsword and shouted in the direction where the leader was hiding:

"The one who spoke first, come out and fight me."

Greta and Laurentina glanced at Skadi's strange behavior with some confusion. What puzzled them even more was that after hearing Skadi's words, the one who had spoken first actually emerged from her hiding place and looked at Skadi.

"You summon me, so I appear, my compatriots... Why must you fight me?"

"Because you are not my compatriot."

Skadi said nothing more, hoisted her greatsword, and charged toward the First Speaker, slamming it down in an attempt to knock him away.

However, the agile First Speaker evaded Skadi's attack and attempted to counterattack from the side.

This means it fell into Suri and Skadi's trap. The initial mistake was just bait; Skadi had already received instructions from Suri before it attempted to attack.

"Take a step to the left, then swing your greatsword upwards. It will be knocked away. Then you just need to thrust your greatsword forward."

Skadi swung her greatsword as Suri commanded, and it looked as if the First Wordsman had run into her greatsword and been sent flying.

Even so, the First Wordsman still maintained a strong ability to move, climbing directly onto the rock wall and charging towards Skadi once again.

But at this moment, Skadi had already positioned herself and was facing the First Speaker, her greatsword already thrusting out.

The first wave of attackers charging towards Skadi gradually came to a halt, like skewers of incense that had been pierced, and slowly lost their vitality.

Blue blood, belonging to marine life, flowed from the First Wordsman's wound. Skadi drew her greatsword and watched it fall, gradually draining its blood.

"Well done, Skadi."

Greta and Laurentina approached Skadi and looked her up and down, finding her completely unharmed:

"Now we should talk about Suri... Do you have anything to say?"

Skadi didn't answer Greta immediately, but instead asked Suri, "What should we do now?"

“Your phone got wet so I can’t talk to Greta. I suggest you go back to the aircraft first, but people outside have already noticed that you’re about to demolish this church. The judge and his students are on their way here.”

As Suri casually spoke, she displayed the map of the scanned field of view:

"My suggestion is to solve this problem first. Kal'tsit will be here soon, and solving this problem shouldn't be too difficult."

Skadi nodded and looked at Goredia: "The Iberian judges are coming. Let's deal with this first."

"Okay...you were just talking to Suri, right?"

Greta looked Skadi up and down: "I don't see any earpieces or communicators on you."

"Because Suri's voice really does play directly in your head, you don't need headphones. I've experienced this amazing feeling myself."

Laurentina smiled beside her, a hint of smugness in her eyes.

Greta paused, then looked at her teammates: "Laurentina, you can do it too? Why can't I hear you?"

"It's probably because Suri doesn't want to, right? Ever since Skadi woke up, Suri hasn't communicated with me this way."

Laurentina shrugged.

Why is Goredia's head so pointed? (Volume 6, Chapter 360)

Skadi and Greta then went outside the church, and just as Suri had said, they were blocked by the judge and the Liberian girl beside him.

“We had no ill intentions; we were just dealing with the Deep Sea Cultists who were causing trouble here.”

Goredia spoke first, but the stern-faced judge was unmoved: "Even so, this is not a reason for you to set foot on Iberian soil, Agorians."

Skadi watched the second captain and the judge arguing back and forth, and somewhat boredly asked herself, "Suri, do you have any ideas?"

“I can’t do anything about it, but Kal’tsit is here now, so her word still carries weight.”

Following Suri's mark, Skadi indeed saw Kal'tsit arrive, and her appearance startled the judge wearing a mask.

Kal'tsit glanced in Skadi's direction, as if she had seen Suri, but she quickly looked away and turned to the Inquisitor:

“How about I vouch for these hunters? They won’t pose a threat to Iberia; on the contrary, they can fight alongside you against the Sea Siren.”

"...Even so, we cannot let this matter pass so easily."

Even so, the judge did not give up and continued to argue with Kal'tsit and Gretia, while Suri listened, yawning repeatedly.

However, one sentence immediately snapped Suri out of her drowsy state. Kal'tsit said, "I'm willing to accept trial. I think that outcome should convince you?"

Before the judge could react, Suri was already angrily yelling in Skadi's mind: "No, absolutely not! She's my cat! I wouldn't even hit her, so who dares to judge her? Skadi! Step forward!"

Skadi wasn't bothered by Suri's words; on the contrary, she felt Suri's behavior was a bit childish. Suppressing a laugh, she walked out of the Deepsea Hunters' group and stood to the side and in front of Kal'tsit.

Skadi's actions immediately drew everyone's attention. The junior judge, marked by Suri as Eileen, gripped her weapon tightly in alarm, and Kal'tsit and the judge also turned their gazes toward her.

Kal'tsit's eyes flashed with understanding, meaning that Suri was indeed in Skadi's mind, while the Inquisitor was more direct:

"You seem to have something to say, Agor?"

Skadi nodded, her eyes staring blankly at the judge (actually, she was looking at the screen in front of her):

“I have a lot of clues about the Deep Sea Church, about their plans to attack Iberia, and the possibility of the next disaster caused by the Sea Heirs. Will you cooperate with us to prevent the disaster that may destroy Iberia, or will you lock us up and watch everything happen?”

No doubt about it, that arrogant tone was definitely a line written by Su Rui. Kal'tsit nodded, a relieved smile creeping onto her lips. Although she had thought from the beginning that Su Rui would stand up for her if she said that, when it actually happened, Kal'tsit still felt an unexpected surge of joy.

Upon hearing Skadi's words, the judge paused for a moment, then carefully examined Skadi's "empty eyes":

How can you prove that what you're saying is true?

“I have evidence.” Skadi glanced at her lines, then made a gesture of reaching behind her back. Both Greta and Laurentina saw that Skadi actually pulled a document out of thin air and threw it at the judge.

As the judge read the documents in his hand, Skadi glanced at Suri's request, slightly raised her chin, and said in a cold tone:

"This is just the tip of the iceberg, a small step by the Deep Sea Church and the Sea Heirs. Even so, it's already a difficult problem for Iberia to deal with, isn't it? Even so, are you still going to lock us up?"

"...You'd better be telling the truth."

The judge took a deep breath and handed the folder containing evidence and clues to Elena beside her so she could take a look. After reading it, the young judge's eyes widened, and she even looked at her teacher with some anxiety.

It seems she has at least made a decision, Suri typed out another message.

Skadi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke as Suri had requested:

"It seems your students all know how to assess the situation. What about you? Are you afraid to make a decision?"

How could you say that! Teachers bear a heavy responsibility!

Elene immediately retorted to Skadi with dissatisfaction, but was patted on the shoulder and calmed down by the judge. Then, the judge, wearing an iron mask, looked at Skadi:

“Every decision I make could trigger a chain reaction, so I have to be careful. But you’re right, now is not the time to hesitate… Come with me, I’ll take you to the stronghold in Iberia.”

Skadi shook her head: "I have a flying machine here, it's more convenient to use our transportation."

The judge paused for a moment, hesitated, and then nodded: "Okay, let's go."

"Before that, I have some things to say to my teammates."

Greta stopped Skadi and Laurentina: "We need to talk."

"Second Captain, do you have any other questions?" Skadi asked Gretia.

"How exactly did you and Suri meet...? Is he trustworthy?"

"What's there to say? If it weren't for me, she would have been turned into skewers by that first speaker!"

Suri complained somewhat discontentedly, "Greteia, why is your head so pointy?"

Skadi was unsure how to relay Suri's words and looked at Gretia with some difficulty.

Gladys had obviously guessed as well, and simply nodded to Skadi: "Just tell me what he said."

Skadi then repeated Suri's words, causing Suri to fall silent for a moment:

"I just wore a hat, so my head looks pointy... Also, I was just worried that my teammates might be in danger, and I needed to tell you in person to thank you for your help... I think we will need your help in the future."

Greta thought for a moment: "I am also very willing to establish a friendly relationship with you. After all, mutual understanding is the foundation for cooperation."

Greta felt helpless about some of her own words, like an adult facing a unreasonable child, forced to explain herself word by word.

Fortunately, after this exchange, Suri and Greta got to know each other and temporarily put aside their differences, heading to the aircraft together.

Book 6, Chapter 361: Goredia Makes the Decision

Nothing unexpected happened on the way to their destination, except that Laurentina kept trying to talk to Suri, hoping to find traces of Suri in Skadi.

If Suri weren't currently without a physical form, he would be somewhat worried that Laurentina might try to kidnap him.

But that shouldn't happen, right?

Suri and Kal'tsit brought two aircraft in total. After Kal'tsit arrived, her aircraft was naturally requisitioned by Suri.

During a break, Greta found Skadi and whispered in her ear, "Can I speak with Suri alone?"

"?" Skadi looked at Gretia with some confusion, and then heard Suri's voice: "Hand her these earphones and let her wear them. I can use them to communicate with her."

As she spoke, a pair of headphones appeared in Skadi's hand.

Even Skadi herself was taken aback for a moment, but she still handed the earphones to Greta: "Suri said that if you wear these, you can communicate with him."

Gladys nodded and took the earphones from Skadi. Having already witnessed Suri's special abilities, Gladys wasn't too surprised at this moment.

Skadi, however, felt a pang of disappointment as she watched Greta put on her headphones.

Suri noticed her change and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong? Are you disappointed because I gave Greta a gift? I'm right here with you, why are you envious of Greta? Headphones aren't anything expensive."

Skadi understood this, of course, but that didn't stop her from feeling somewhat unhappy even when she agreed with Suri.

Skadi, being rather simple-minded, had no idea how to hide her emotions. Even Gladys, who had turned away, vaguely noticed Skadi's mood. However, Gladys wasn't good at managing her emotions either, so she simply gave Skadi a slightly apologetic look before turning back to focus on her headphones.

Suri was also somewhat helpless; it seemed that mere words wouldn't be enough to comfort Skadi...

"Okay, okay, let me look around. I don't have anything suitable as a gift... Here are some snacks, do you want them? I've been collecting snacks for a long time, bought from Syracuse. I haven't had them in ages, and they're the kind that's hard to find elsewhere?"

Skadi neither spoke nor nodded, but in her heart she felt that Suri agreed.

"Okay~ But you don't want me to take out the snacks for you here, right? You should share them with the others, since there aren't many snacks. I can get you something else first."

Skadi shook her head slightly. Although she also enjoyed good food, she wasn't in the mood to eat right now.

'Can I hear about your conversation with the second captain?' This was what Skadi was truly concerned about at that moment.

"Of course, no problem, but don't talk nonsense~" After all, Skadi is Suri's host, and her words are the most important.
