reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

(I secretly took a day off yesterday, it felt so good)

-------------------------------------

"Then, let's begin."

Bai Ye looked at W as she spoke:

"The dessert shop should close now. Let all the other irrelevant people leave. By the way, you and the other mercenaries can also temporarily evacuate."

"I don't know what will happen next, but I think that kind of battle is no longer something you can participate in."

W nodded. Clearly, she was aware of the limits of her abilities. While she could handle most situations, she was obviously outmatched when facing real monsters. Her explosives were nothing more than insignificant toys to a true powerhouse.

Of course, she wouldn't give up so easily.

W looked at Bai Ye, then tossed a small trinket over.

Bai Ye took a look and was slightly surprised.

What W tossed over was a small remote control.

Uh, don't get the wrong idea, it's definitely not some kind of detonator. It's a teleportation staff, and as for its function, it seems to be similar to a detonator.

In other words, as long as Bai Ye uses Originium Arts to activate this thing, a high-energy Originium explosive device that has already been placed somewhere will "BOOM!"

Isn't it fun?

"Tch." W clicked his tongue in disbelief at Bai Ye's unperturbed expression.

“You’re so boring. I thought you’d have a more interesting reaction,” W said.

Bai Ye rolled her eyes:

"How should I react?"

“So, you’re such a boring guy.” W could tell that Bai Ye wasn’t afraid at all, so she could only explain, “I’ve already deployed a lot of explosives around here, and I’ve sent the exact locations to your terminal. I hope this will help you.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye opened his mobile terminal and then discovered a dense array of red dots around the safe house.

Each one represents a high-energy stone bomb.

"You're crazy..." Bai Ye finally couldn't help but complain.

Although he had considered that W might have a backup plan, he hadn't expected this place to be such a powder keg.

"So, boss, shall we retreat now?" W smiled.

“Okay, you guys go straight to the evacuation point. Under no circumstances should you show your face in Lentinium again.” Bai Ye nodded.

“Hmm… I remember there are still some mercenaries in Londinium. I wonder if they’re still alive,” W suddenly said.

"You mean Hedley and the others? Have you been in contact with them?" Bai Ye asked curiously.

“That guy… he staged a scene with Ines. He thwarted Ines’s assassination attempt, pretended to kill the guy, and even lost an eye in the process. After that, he gained the trust of Manfred, the general of the Sarkaz Royal Court,” W replied.

As she spoke, she muttered something to herself:

"That guy almost fooled me... But it would be better if he really went all out."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Well, I bet that's not what you really think. If Hedley had really gone all out, you would have gone after him to fight him to the death once you found out."

Bai Ye said with certainty.

W disagreed:

"How could I possibly expose myself for that little lamb? No Sarkaz would be that stupid..."

However, as she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Bai Ye laughed:

"Look, even you don't believe that yourself."

"Strange, how could this be..." W believed she could perfectly conceal her true feelings, it was in a mercenary's nature. Yet now, she was actually showing her true emotions. This definitely wasn't because of Bai Ye, even if she did have some trust in him, it certainly wasn't this kind of attitude.

She then turned her head and saw Logos squinting at the tip of the bone pen in his hand, which was gleaming.

"So it was you who was behind this..." W glared, but didn't dare to confront Logos. In this room, she was only afraid of two and a half people.

Ascalon and Logos are two distinct individuals. One was her former boss, whose methods were anything but ordinary. Logos, on the other hand, was a master of magic and the Queen of the Banshees, whose methods were unpredictable and treacherous. Ascalon dared not test her own body against those wondrous spells.

As for the remaining half, that naturally refers to Bai Ye. The reason it's only half is because Bai Ye has never shown his angry side to her. In her opinion, this guy has a really good temper. Therefore, she's not that afraid. However, Bai Ye is indeed very powerful, and he's also her employer, so she doesn't dare to really anger this good-natured boss.

……

"Let's leave them alone for now. They're not really related to our plans. Contact them first and hope they can successfully withdraw from Londinium. But don't reveal anything about our plans." Bai Ye didn't seem to care.

Now, he no longer needs so-called intelligence. After figuring out the Sarkaz's goals, all he needs to do is destroy the core components.

“It seems you don’t completely trust them after all… I hope you can still get in touch with Ines.” W mentioned the name of the person with whom he had a love-hate relationship.

Indeed, her relationship with Ines was rather special.

In truth, Bai Ye couldn't figure out what the relationship was between this guy and Caprini, who was disguised as a Sarkaz. However, they were clearly not enemies, nor were they simply friends.

This is a very awkward relationship. Although they both say they want to kill each other, they actually care about each other's safety.

Bai Ye recalled when she first met them two years ago. The two were always at odds, and had even come to blows, ultimately requiring Hedley to act as a mediator. Indeed, a triangle is the most stable relationship.

That was quite an interesting time, until finally the group (mainly Bai Ye) killed the mercenary leader together, and they parted ways for the sake of their plan.

……

Bringing his thoughts back, Bai Ye sighed.

W left first, hoping that the explosives she left behind would come in handy.

After W left, Bai Ye turned around, glanced at his companions, and then memorized the key parts of the Londinium structure diagram on the terminal screen in front of him. He certainly wouldn't need all of it, but he only needed to remember the locations of the Sarkaz camp and the main force.

Then he stood up.

It's time to start planning the final part.

Chapter Thirty-Six: I Am the Approaching Storm

(It's Monday again, no more sleeping in)

-------------------------------------

"Ready to begin?"

Logos looked at White Night as he stood up.

"Yes, as agreed, Kal'tsit's spies have already communicated with the Lontinim Citizens' Self-Defense Army. They are currently hiding in the underground pipes. I just checked, and that's indeed the case."

"Although they didn't know what I was going to do next, I still have to thank them for their trust in me, or rather, in that spy."

Following the stairs, White Night and Logos reappeared on the ground in Lentinium.

Actually, Bai Ye initially wanted to go out alone, but Logos asked to observe Bai Ye activating his powers, and Bai Ye agreed to his request.

“They will thank you,” Logos said with a smile.

Bai Ye shook his head:

"However, there will be more Sarkaz who hate me. This world is incredibly complex. Perhaps it would be simpler to divide it into right and wrong, black and white, justice and evil."

"Unfortunately, things are never that simple."

Logos nodded:

"It is extremely arrogant to arbitrarily define oneself as being on the side of justice."

"Therefore, we can only choose our side." Bai Ye stood under the gloomy sky, looking up at the dark expanse.

The rain has subsided, and the hail has stopped. Severe convective weather comes and goes quickly, and Bai Ye didn't try to control it, so this unnatural weather won't last long. The light rain now is merely the afterglow of that storm.

But it also seems to be foreshadowing the start of the next storm.

Bai Ye took a deep breath; the air after the rain was exceptionally fresh, which gradually lifted her spirits.

“Let me be arrogant just this once… I know everything the Sarkaz are planning. Hatred is an incurable disease, and the Sarkaz’s revenge and plans will leave incurable scars on the land. For the stability of the surrounding nations, and for the peace between the two worlds in the future, ambition must be extinguished in advance.”

Bai Ye said softly.

“White Night, do you know? Two hundred years ago, Kal'tsit said something similar to what you said.” Logos turned to look at White Night after hearing her whisper.

"Hmm?" Bai Ye blinked.

"Did you know that Kazdel of the Sarkaz has been destroyed countless times? The races on this land are naturally hostile to the Sarkaz. In the process, the Sarkaz's hatred has accumulated to its extreme."

"Two hundred years ago, Kal'tsit led a multinational coalition to once again crush Kazdel. According to historical records, the Steam Knights stood behind her, and the Tower Mages and Gallic Artillery also obeyed her command."

“She said similar things to you and issued a similar judgment.” Logos glanced at Bai Ye.

"Because we all bear similar missions." Bai Ye opened the game system panel.

This is proof that he is different from other indigenous peoples of this land.

"Let us begin... Since you wish to observe, then, Banshee Queen, witness this moment of destruction of the Sarkaz courts. Today is the day I extinguish the Sarkaz's ambition and rage, and at the same time, it is another catastrophe for them."

Yes, there is no right or wrong, only perspectives.

After learning about Theresis's deeds, Bai Ye knew very well that he was indeed a hero in the eyes of the Sarkaz race, and all his actions were for the purpose of reviving the Sarkaz and rebuilding Kazdel.

However, because of his actions, Bai Ye stood on the opposite side from him. In fact, the two had never even met, and Theresis was unaware of Bai Ye's existence. Perhaps he never imagined that someone he had never met would destroy all his efforts.

……

Bai Ye suddenly laughed.

"I will bring destruction."

He took a "wind chime" out of his inventory.

The power representing wind and atmosphere surged within him. For the first time, Bai Ye no longer consciously controlled his power; for the first time, he unleashed the storm surging within him without restraint.

The "wind chime" drew a graceful arc in the air, the silver sword light flashed, and lightning appeared in the sky as the sword tip leaped.

At first, it was an ordinary silver color, but later, due to the activation of Originium energy, it turned into a terrifying gold. Whenever this golden lightning flashed in the clouds, it would evoke a fear deeply ingrained in the genes of the creatures on this land.

Bai Ye unleashed a cataclysmic disaster. This time, he was no longer a messenger foretelling the calamity, but the very source of destruction.

This was also the first time Bai Ye had fully summoned a natural disaster since gaining power. The extreme weather events before were just child's play; this was the true manifestation of Bai Ye's abilities.

Perhaps, to this land, he is the true demon king.

Of course, Bai Ye did not completely ignore the storm; he did his best to direct it towards the area where the Sarkaz royal army was gathered.

The sky seemed to be falling, and terrifying lightning flashed intermittently through the clouds. Without warning, the natural disaster struck.

Since the mobile city of Londinium was built, natural disasters had never struck the area. Therefore, when this sudden natural disaster struck, everyone was thrown into panic.

It felt like the end of the world was coming.

-------------------------------------

When the natural disaster struck, as the golden lightning danced through the clouds, many people on this land raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

Few people realize that the distance between people is actually closer than they imagine. The sky connects everyone; as long as they look up, they see the same sky.

Further north than Ursus, in the icy plains teeming with spirits, the Cyclops opened his eyes.

In the end, he chose the destiny that belonged to him...

On Rhodes Island, Amiya was suddenly awakened from her sleep. The good girl who went to bed early and got up early suddenly felt a sudden, inexplicable palpitation. She seemed to sense something ancient roaring, a fury spanning ten thousand years erupting forth, fighting against something.

On the bridge of the Rhodes Island flagship, Dr. Kal'tsit stood with her hands behind her back.

Rhodes Island is not far from Victoria, and the Cataclysmic Messenger is reporting news of a distant catastrophe. Offices in Victoria near Londinium have entered a state of emergency.

Kal'tsit sighed, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Under the Natural Disaster

Windermere, Wellington, Castle...

The renowned dukes all turned their attention to Lentinium.

The Grand Dukes had received the message; before the signal was lost, they learned of what was about to happen in Londinium.

Thanks to the protection of the kings, Lentinium has never suffered any natural disasters.
