reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Amidst the natural disaster, the light of sorcery still flickers. These are shields created by the rulers of the royal court. The Blood King draws the blood of Sarkaz mercenaries to create shields that withstand the disaster and protect other soldiers.

The energy shield flickered under the onslaught of natural disasters, and even the ruler of the royal court could hardly contend with the most terrifying thing on this land.

Theresis didn't care about the city of Lontinim; the Sarkaz had never considered it their home. However, when the Sarkaz soldiers who couldn't escape were torn apart by the hurricane in the natural disaster, Theresis's heart bled.

However, this was not the whole story of divine punishment, because the truly terrifying thing was yet to come. Theresis suddenly felt a tremor.

Or rather, all the powerful beings within Londinium sensed an even more terrifying energy gathering...

Chapter Forty: Dawn

Logos, who was closest to Bai Ye, was obviously the one who felt it most clearly. He saw Bai Ye levitate from the ground with his own eyes. At the same time, he raised the strange longsword, the tip of which flashed with a bright and intense light.

A tremendous amount of energy gathered on the blade. If Logos hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to imagine that such a small human body could contain such terrifying power.

This has gone beyond the scope of a storm.

The power of natural disasters is indeed terrifying; however, the location of these disasters is still far from humanity, and the disaster clouds are high in the sky. At this moment, Logos felt that all the energy of the natural disasters had converged and concentrated into the relatively tiny body before him.

Logos felt as if he were facing a natural disaster. Even as the ruler of the Banshee's court, the magic flowing within him was insignificant in the face of such power.

The Banshee Queen suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. This is the king who commands the sky and storms! No wonder even natural disasters temporarily bow before such immense power." Perhaps Dr. Kal'tsit had already seen through Bai Ye's unusual behavior, which is why she had the audacity to make this mysterious visitor the head of Rhodes Island. Even after Bai Ye resigned, she retained his authority at Rhodes Island and gave him the position of special advisor, anchoring his connection with the main Rhodes Island ship.

Clearly, Bai Ye was no longer an ordinary human. Beneath his frail human appearance lay entirely different qualities. It wasn't a difference between the Sarkaz and other races, but a more fundamental one.

……

However, Logos was too surprised to notice Bai Ye's trembling hands. Holding the "wind chime," he was clearly in a state of near-limit. Even with his superhuman attributes, controlling such a massive flow of energy seemed somewhat strained.

Although it wasn't the first time he had used his most powerful single-target attack, it was different from the last time he annihilated the three Xuan Tie of the Great Knights' Alliance. That time it was just a simple spell test; this time, Bai Ye went almost all out. After all, he didn't know the defensive capabilities of the Shard Tower or the defensive rituals and spells set up by the Sarkaz.

Beside Bai Ye, crackling white arcs of electricity flashed continuously, highlighting Bai Ye's somewhat pale face. This was due to the uncontrolled leakage of high-speed charged particles.

A person who is incredibly gentle when not in combat now wields a power that symbolizes destruction.

Under stimulation, the neuronal membrane potential of the white night changes from positive outside and negative inside to negative outside and positive inside, the arrector pili muscles contract, the amount of adrenaline secreted surges, the skeletal muscles tremble involuntarily, the eyeballs bulge, and the pupils dilate.

Yes, Bai Ye was very excited at this moment, not only physically but also psychologically. If one possesses the power to destroy the world, then one needs a strong enough will to control it.

Bai Ye slowly moved the tip of "Wind Chime" sword, aiming it at the Shard Tower and the core of the terrifying natural disaster he had personally triggered in the sky, with the assistance of the aiming array.

Fortunately, the Cyclops had already automatically evacuated from the skies above Londinium to an area outside the mobile city before the natural disaster; otherwise, that reliable aircraft would have been accidentally damaged by the White Night.

It's time to end this.

When the energy finally accumulated to the limit that Bai Ye could control, he finally chose to release it.

"I'll shatter your ridiculous fantasy!"

The tip of the longsword held by Bai Ye emitted an unprecedented light, causing both Logos and Bai Ye to close their eyes.

However, despite his trembling hands, Bai Ye still steadily aimed the sword tip at his target. In an instant, a beam of light ripped through the dark sky, traversing several blocks of land, and streaking across the sky above the mobile city of Londinium.

It was a torrent of light. In the instant it erupted, the ground beneath Bai Ye's feet cracked and caved in due to the sudden recoil. However, Bai Ye's legs were anchored firmly in place like nails, and even though his feet were already embedded in the ground, he did not move an inch.

This pillar of light illuminated the entire city of Londinium. Although that's an exaggeration, everyone still on the ground saw it. For the inhabitants of Londinium, it was a light powerful enough to pierce the darkness; however, when Theresis witnessed this sudden torrent of light, she sensed a destructive force within it.

In that instant, Theresis could hardly comprehend what was happening. The moment she saw that beautiful, even somewhat terrifying, light, the whole world lost its color.

After a brief malfunction, he clearly saw the destination of the beam of light—the Shard Tower.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

In Theresis's view, the torrent of charged, high-energy particles, constrained by a specific magnetic field, precisely bombarded the Shard. He could even see the trajectory of each ray of light moving slowly through the air.

The next moment, Theresis involuntarily closed her eyes to avoid being burned by the intense light. The flow of events in her field of vision also returned to normal.

The beam of light, carrying immense kinetic energy, slammed into the Shards. The defensive spells cast by the Sarkaz warlocks didn't even last a second before being violently pierced and shattered. Accompanied by a crisp, melodious sound like shattering glass, all barriers and shields crumbled upon contact.

The fragments and energy of the spell were vaporized by the beam of light the instant it shattered, and this beam swept upwards across the fragmented building, instantly melting the entire structure. The terrifying heat instantly destroyed the building's entire structure. Even the core facility used to trigger the natural disaster, which exploded due to the high-energy beam, was instantly engulfed by the even more terrifying energy torrent.

Thus, in Theresis's eyes, the Shard, the core of his plan and Victoria's prized superweapon, was instantly destroyed in this horrific attack. Also destroyed were the Sarkaz race's centuries-old ambition and hope to revive Kazdel.

"..."

Therese's heart was bleeding. This sudden change happened in a short time, even beyond his comprehension. When he regained his senses by relying on the experience and wisdom accumulated over his long life, all he saw was a destroyed, burning, lava-filled ruin.

That was the remains of The Shard, no, it couldn't even be called The Shard anymore.

Because those were just unidentifiable magma and partially melted, still fragmented structures. The original Shard Tower was instantly destroyed and collapsed, evaporating from Theresis's sight.

Chapter 41 Cloud Crack

"What's going on this time?"

When Bai Ye unleashed his light cannon, Mandra, who was forced to move underground during his escape to avoid the natural disaster, couldn't help but utter the vulgarities of Tara.

Just now, the entire city of Londinium seemed to have been struck by a meteorite, its solid industrial infrastructure trembling violently, and a grating, ear-piercing groan emanating from its metal frame.

A horrific explosion occurred in the central city of Londinium, and based on the location of the epicenter, it was precisely at the site of the Shard. Even a direct hit from a natural disaster on Londinium would hardly cause such a massive commotion.

Because the area where everyone was hiding was relatively close to the central city, they felt the tremors most strongly. This was clearly not an explosion or sound that could be caused by a natural disaster.

"Ouch—Ah! It's so hot!"

A soldier in the deep pool was sitting against a metal pillar on the underground level when suddenly he screamed in agony. For some unknown reason, the metal pillar behind him had been inexplicably heated to a terrifying temperature, like a griddle used to sear meat. This sudden heat burned the soldier's back. A burnt aroma filled the air.

At first, this guy thought it was a conspiracy orchestrated by the Victoria Storm Commando on the other side, using Originium Arts, by their past enemies.

However, they soon discovered that the temperature of the underground level, paved with massive stones, was also slowly rising, with terrifying heat gradually spreading from the central city towards this area. The temperature was gradually becoming so hot that it felt almost burning their feet.

Even the bugle and her soldiers noticed this strange change.

She turned and looked at Mandela intently before speaking:

"We must move immediately; this place is no longer suitable for us to stay."

They were too close to The Shard in the central city; whatever happened there would quickly affect this place. Metal conducts heat quickly, so the metal pillars heated up first, but the ground temperature was also rising slowly.

Although their feet were only slightly hot, even providing some warmth in this awful weather, it was only a matter of time before they burned them.

Mandela clearly realized this as well. She squinted as she watched the horn and her men disappear at the end of the passage.

"Sir, are we just going to let them leave? Aren't we going to take action?" A soldier from Deep Pool couldn't help but ask.

"In this situation, you're still thinking about taking action? The key is to get the 'spy' out of here as soon as possible!" Mandela replied irritably.

She then led her men to evacuate through another passage.

When Mandela lifted the metal plate and returned to the ground, he witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.

The Shard, the skyscraper that used to stand tall and be visible from any vantage point, has disappeared.

The air still held some warmth, and a strange, fishy smell permeated the air—the odd odor of ozone released when oxygen is ionized. It actually smelled quite refreshing…

But what's most breathtaking is the sky.

Sometime later, the natural disaster had stopped. In the sky, the disaster clouds that had covered the entire city were forcibly torn open, as if something had broken through the sky and cleaved the disaster clouds in two.

The energy core that caused the natural disaster was destroyed, and the disaster subsided in a short time.

The weather will clear up from now on.

After a night of extreme weather and natural disasters, the residents of Lentinium had even thought they would not see the sun rise the next day.

However, after one night, the sun rose as usual, and the first rays of sunlight in the morning pierced through the gaps in the clouds and shone on Londinium.

"Heh, is this the big commotion that guy was talking about?" Although he didn't believe that the natural disaster that swept through Lontinim was accomplished by human power, Mandra's intuition told him that this series of events was definitely related to Bai Ye.

Regardless, the Shard has been completely destroyed. Mandela didn't know how that guy did it, but whatever happened before her eyes was an established fact.

At the same time, she understood why the temperature rose as she approached the Shard: the area where the Shard stood had become a pool of lava. Molten metal slowly cooled and solidified in the air, while much of the lava remained flowing.

This is the heat source.

Through the telescope, Mandela could also see some molten, unrecognizable building remains. After careful examination, Mandela could barely make out that these remains should belong to some structures of The Shard.

Perhaps the attack on Shard did not cover every corner of the building evenly, so some grotesque structural remains still exist at the bottom.

The metal on it melted and collapsed, but then cooled and solidified again halfway through, thus revealing a strange shape to everyone. It looked like a bizarre tree that grew in a twisted and contorted manner.

"Phew...we should go, there's nothing interesting here."

Mandra breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the catastrophe had stopped. It seemed that the duration of this catastrophe was not long, and the area attacked in Londinium was very singular, even giving the impression that it was intentional. The catastrophe bombarded the area controlled by the Sarkaz royal court army and mercenaries.

There, enormous, jet-black crystal clusters bloomed like flowers, creating an eerie beauty.

Other areas, apart from some buildings being destroyed by the hurricane, were largely unaffected and undamaged.

"Hopefully our evacuation will go smoothly. It seems that Lentinium is currently experiencing a major power outage, and the connections between different areas have been disrupted... The border gates, however, remain open."

Mandela was gathering intelligence.

Communication throughout the city was almost completely cut off, and at this moment, many civilians began to take the opportunity to flee to the outskirts of the city.

As long as he wasn't too unlucky, Mandela felt he should be able to evacuate safely.

"Although I hate to admit it, I have to thank that guy... he even left a potion for the 'spy.' Otherwise, we wouldn't have made it this far..."

Mandra watched the "spy" being helped along by Deeppool soldiers. The medicine left behind by Bai Ye was very effective; it not only healed the wounds but also contained some kind of stimulant and nutrient, allowing the "spy" to persevere until now.

Chapter Forty-Two: The Creation of Heaven

Let's rewind to the moment when Bai Ye unleashed the "light cannon".

After completely destroying the rubble building by spinning the tip of the "Wind Chime" sword, Bai Ye immediately raised the sword tip and aimed it at the celestial disaster cloud in the sky. Then, the remaining energy of this solar wind ray was all blasted by Bai Ye into the energy core of the celestial disaster.

As the one who created this apocalyptic scene, Bai Ye clearly knows where the weakness of this natural disaster lies.

After all, this was a man-made natural disaster, a product of artificial ripening, and it still differed somewhat from a truly naturally occurring natural disaster. Moreover, in order to control the location of the disaster as much as possible, Bai Ye deliberately reduced its scale and power.

However, this is still a genuine natural disaster, and its destructive power over a mobile city remains incredibly staggering. Therefore, in order to minimize the damage, Baiye must stop this natural disaster as soon as possible.

Finally, Bai Ye chose the most straightforward method: using a high-energy beam to directly bombard the core of the calamity cloud, shattering the condensed high-energy stone's energy, and then ending it all through control.

Although the main target of the Scourge attack was the Sarkaz, the spread of Oripathy caused by the huge Originium clusters left behind after the Scourge was still very serious, and White Night did not want to create more infected people.

Let's end all of this as soon as possible.

Bai Ye turned the tip of his sword and pointed it at the sky.

Like a sharp blade slicing through the sky, the beam of light finally struck the core of the calamity cloud. Accompanied by a terrifying roar, the pitch-black sky that had enveloped the entire city was torn apart.

Where the light passed, a wide crack appeared, resembling a deep canyon.

After releasing its last remaining power, the energy of the solar wind high-energy rays was finally exhausted, and the light dissipated into the air. The intense light at the tip of the White Night Sword also gradually faded away.

Bai Ye continued to wave the "wind chime," manipulating the atmosphere above Lentinium. He was like a careful tuner, meticulously adjusting every string on a piano to minimize the aftershocks of the natural disaster.

He then let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, his legs giving way. At the same time, Bai Ye plunged the "Wind Chime" directly into the ground. Although the sword hadn't melted due to the terrifying heat when it gathered energy to form a high-energy ray and unleash the light cannon, the blade was still somewhat hot at this moment.

Bai Ye's right palm, which gripped the sword hilt, was also scorched black by the terrifying heat. He rubbed his palm together, peeling off the charred skin. His superior physical attributes and the super-healing ability, similar to Hai Si's, granted by the initial insemination, worked simultaneously. After the necrotic skin peeled off, fair new skin was revealed underneath.

Only now did Bai Ye realize that a deep pit had formed beneath his feet, and he was right in the center of it, with countless cracks extending outwards from where he was standing.

It turns out that even high-output light cannons have recoil. If the ground isn't solid enough, the attack's landing point might deviate due to the user's position shifting...

Bai Ye's mind was in a state of confusion. Controlling natural disasters, gathering energy to generate light cannons, and finally eliminating natural disasters one after another had nearly exhausted his mental energy. This was the first time he had ever felt so tired.

While physical fatigue can be quickly relieved by healing factors, accumulated lactic acid can be broken down rapidly, and excessively high body temperature can be quickly cooled down, mental exhaustion is indeed more painful.

Bai Ye is now caught in a dilemma. His physical health is fine, and he even recovered quickly, becoming full of energy again. However, the depletion of his mental energy is difficult to replenish in a short time, which is giving him a headache.

Pressing his temples, Bai Ye, with sheer willpower, suppressed his instinct to faint. He whispered:

"We hope the rapid response team for the infection incident can get to Lentinium as soon as possible. In any case, a natural disaster has occurred here, and this is a relatively serious infection spread incident."

Yes, he is still considering the aftermath at this moment.

After all, he was the one who caused this apocalyptic scene before them.

Although Bai Ye claims he's willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals, he's clearly not the kind of person he describes himself to be. Behind every seemingly insane plan, he's actually trying his best to salvage and mitigate the losses.

"come on in!"

The entrance to the safe house was opened, and Skadi poked her head out.

"It's too late, they've already found us..." Bai Ye shook his head.

Although his mental energy was nearly exhausted, his fighting instincts told him that something was approaching them at supersonic speed, and there was more than one such individual.

Clearly, after accomplishing all this, Bai Ye and his group weren't expecting an easy escape. How could the Sarkaz not have noticed the commotion they'd caused? And how could Regent Theresis not have located them?
