reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

……

"Do not."

The old man shook his head.

"You brought war. You brought suffering. You rebuilt homes on the ruins of others' homes."

The deep voice spoke of the evil in the regent's plan.

“You are condemning our war, but you yourself were the embodiment of wars waged by foreign empires.” The Regent increased the strength in his hand, intending to cut through the obstructing shield before him.

A red light flashed in the area where Big Daddy's eyes were covered by the power armor helmet visor. This was not a special effect, but a real phenomenon. The power armor was connected to Big Daddy's nervous system and did not require any control; it could naturally activate according to Big Daddy's will.

The armor's power core spun wildly, channeling energy to the power armor's arms like blood circulation, strengthening them through energy circuits. Before the battle, Logos had inscribed runes on Big Daddy's shield, making it even more robust.

"And you, Queen of the Banshees, why are you standing against us again?"

“Because I have found new possibilities, not this destroyed, mad ritual site beneath our feet,” the Banshee Queen replied coldly. “'Demon King' and 'Royal Court' are nothing but rotten things that bind the Sarkaz race.”

Then he mocked:

"Look, in the very end, you're still seeking revenge... You must kill the enemy of your race—what a noble reason, ha..."

Logos' gaze did not linger on Therese for long.

His enemy wasn't Theresis; Big Daddy and the three Deepsea Hunters were more than enough to contend with him. Logos' enemy was someone else entirely; his gaze was fixed on the surging sea of ​​blood not far away.

An endless sea of ​​blood was slowly approaching them.

Ducarre, the Blood Demon Lord, is the current master of the Blood Court.

This is an incredibly ancient being, the Blood Demon who once killed the Demon King and severely damaged the giant beast; it is fanatical and ferocious.

Before him, the two Blood Demons of Rhodes Island were utterly insignificant.

In the air, an airship was heading towards Bai Ye and the others. Accompanying it was an incredibly terrifying and immense will residing within the airship. It was a colossal undead spirit, bearing the souls of all living beings, carrying the Sarkaz's millennia-long rage and hatred.

Further along the edge of the battlefield stood a figure idly watching the ensuing strife and fury. It was an avatar of the Shapeshifter horde, witnessing this war between legends.

As for everyone else.

The Carrion King and his army are covering the Sarkaz retreat and holding off the Grand Duke Victoria's allied forces outside the city. They are war itself, defeating their enemies and devouring their flesh to strengthen themselves. However, their fate is almost sealed.

As for the royal army's general, Friedman, he was currently directing the Sarkaz army and mercenaries in their retreat. They had indeed failed, but they were determined to preserve their last remaining strength.

This is why Theresis didn't order the entire Sarkaz army to charge at Bai Ye and his group. That would have been acting rashly, causing more unnecessary sacrifices and ruining the future of the Sarkaz.

Moreover, ordinary Sarkaz troops were not even qualified to participate in this war.

Yes, although there were only a few people, it was indeed a war.

This is the final war, a war that has staked the fate of the Sarkaz race.

At least that's what Therese thinks.

Two men who could be considered leaders of the royal court stood on his opposite side.

Is this the nature of the Sarkaz? The Sarkaz have never been so united; Theresis has united all the Sarkaz with hatred, war, victory, and promises. Yet, the Sarkaz still cannot escape the fate of division.

The Wendigo and the Banshee stood on the opposite side of them, becoming their enemies.

The lich's attitude was ambiguous.

The Cyclops foretold the fate of the Regent and the Shard.

The royal court is not united.

The Sarkaz's countless destructions are due to brutal internal civil wars within their race. The civil war three years ago is the best proof of that.

Theresis felt immense pain, yet was powerless to do anything. He could only vent his anger on his own kind, who had become his enemies, and on those he considered his racial nemesis.

Unfortunately, the eldest brother firmly raised his shield and blocked his way.

Bai Ye absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble.

Because that ideal city that Big Daddy regarded as his home, the city belonging to the infected, the promised land that carried his expectations, all depended on White Night.

Without Bai Ye, all the efforts accumulated before would have vanished in an instant.

From his daughter to the infected, the city sheltered too many people, so Big Dad would never allow such a thing to happen.

Before he arrived here, he had secretly vowed to protect Bai Ye's safety with his own life.

Chapter Forty-Six Promotion

With Big Daddy and the Deep Sea Lovers (Hunters) protecting him, Bai Ye felt incredibly safe. The presence of Logos and Ascalon added an extra layer of security. This allowed Bai Ye to recover his abilities without any worries, while simultaneously beginning the next stage of skill point allocation and leveling up.

After destroying the Shard Tower, Bai Ye did indeed gain an immense amount of experience, but to his surprise, this experience was significantly more than he had expected.

Most players are in the Kazimierz Arena, so it's impossible for White Night to obtain such a large share of player experience drops from the dungeon in a short period of time. The rewards from the quest to destroy the Shard Tower are also clearly not that much.

In other words, while destroying the Shards Tower, Bai Ye also completed some hidden mission. Only after checking his game system's system logs did Bai Ye understand the source of this extra experience gain.

Besides the Shards, Bai Ye discovers that he has also inadvertently destroyed the Sarkaz royal court's magical arrays scattered throughout Londinium. It turns out that the Shards were merely part of the Sarkaz Regent Theresis's plan, and he has concealed his true purpose.

Clearly, a single superweapon was not enough to be the entirety of this ambitious regent's arsenal. He obviously had other plans, and he concealed them well, drawing everyone's attention, including Bai Ye's own and the grand dukes', to the Shard.

In fact, with the assistance of the various royal courts, the Regent is using ancient Sarkaz witchcraft to transform the entire city of Londinium into a colossal ritual site. And once this terrifying ritual is launched, it may not only be this massive mobile city that suffers, but the entire Terra may be dragged into the abyss by this ancient witchcraft.

Perhaps because they hadn't considered this, even Logos, who had been wandering around Londinium for a while, failed to discover the Regent's plot. Fortunately, the Scourge's attack range covered almost all of the Londinium territory occupied by the Sarkaz. Without even deliberately aiming, the Scourge's attack destroyed the vast majority of ritual sites and sorcery staffs.

As a result, Bai Ye's experience gain increased again.

These tasks weren't assigned to any Terran native by him, but rather automatically generated by the system based on Bai Ye's next plan. Of course, you could also interpret it as Luna secretly helping Bai Ye, triggering "special tasks" with special "administrator privileges." By altering the original course of the world, a large amount of experience could be gained.

……

"That makes things easier..." Bai Ye quickly flipped through the system logs on the game system before understanding the Regent's true plan. He felt a wave of fear wash over him; he realized he had indeed underestimated this guy.

Or rather, the Regent's ambition and cunning were indeed profound enough that possessing a superweapon capable of threatening any nation on this land was not enough. He merely regarded this superweapon as a tool for his next plan.

"It seems that luck is on my side," Bai Ye murmured, marveling at the world's favor towards him.

Of course, now is not the time to relax; those Sarkaz enemies seem intent on keeping him here forever. And how could he let them have their way?

Now, it's time for an upgrade.

Bai Ye's mental energy was nearly depleted from controlling the natural disaster and using his strongest attack. Fighting those powerful Sarkaz in his current state would obviously be extremely difficult. Only leveling up could quickly replenish his energy.

Bai Ye quickly opened his personal attribute panel and skillfully allocated the experience points from the experience pool to his character level, causing his character level to rise again. Normally, most players level up as soon as they have enough experience points, reserving some for learning skills.

However, after Bai Ye transmigrated, except in the early stages, he almost completely abandoned this method of utilizing experience points. His leveling up was usually done in stages, accumulating a large amount before throwing it all at once.

The main reason is that his stats are far superior to those of ordinary players. He gains 6 free attribute points with each level up. In addition to the direct attribute points, his stats also bring some implicit benefits, such as stronger vitality, and a more resilient physique and spirit. In other words, Bai Ye's innate physical attributes already surpass those of players and most Terra natives. Coupled with some incredibly powerful skills, his strength cannot be measured by his level alone.

This time, Bai Ye could no longer level up to level 10 in one go. A powerful stat panel does have many advantages, but the downside is that the experience points required to level up are incredibly high.

Bai Ye invested most of his experience into leveling up his character, but he could only get him to level 5.

Bai Ye watched as his personal level increased from 60 to 65, gaining 30 free attribute points.

Because of a certain obsessive-compulsive tendency, coupled with Luna's advice to develop in a balanced way, Bai Ye continued to distribute his attribute points evenly across the four main attributes, just as he had done in the past. Now, his well-rounded character is considered complete, with all attributes reaching 106 points.

【Ding】

Suddenly, Bai Ye's system panel began to vibrate, accompanied by a notification sound, and a series of data streams flowed across his attribute panel.

[Character level (65/60), verification passed]

[Character's physical/mental attributes (106/100), pass the test]

[Character has learned the skill level (Master/Master), check passed]

[Character Legend Level (62/50), pass the test]

A series of judgments flashed on Bai Ye's panel, and a waterfall of data streamed past his eyes.

Finally, when Bai Ye passed all the previous tests, the system panel in front of him shattered to his astonishment, turning into countless stardust fragments radiating light.

Fortunately, the stardust and light spots reassembled and formed a brand-new system panel.

[The character template meets the breakthrough requirements and has been upgraded to Legendary.]

"No wonder I was considered an elite even though I was so strong before...it turns out the conditions were so demanding."

Not only are there restrictions on character level, but also the constitution or spirit attribute must exceed 100 points in the four dimensions, plus master-level skills and more than 50 points of legendary points, in order to upgrade your template to legendary.

As the new panel appeared, Bai Ye immediately felt a warm power flowing through his body, making him more resilient and stronger.

Templates are similar to races. Some races are naturally powerful and gifted, while others are relatively weaker, and some even have strange natural debuffs. Now, Bai Ye's template has become legendary, which means that his template bonuses are comparable to those of legendary beings.

Chapter Forty-Seven: Recovery

Theresis and Big Daddy engaged in a fierce battle, their blades clashing against their shields, the deafening explosions reverberating through the air. The ground, already riddled with holes from the White Night, was now unrecognizable. The debris kicked up by the aftershocks of their fight was enough to pierce through the exterior walls of buildings. Their clash was practically tearing the entire block apart.

Clearly, the city was not built with the idea of ​​two monsters fighting on it in mind.

A long-dormant anger welled up in Theresis's heart.

The Lord of the Wendigo Court stood on the opposite side, forgetting the blood flowing in his veins and forgetting that they were Sarkaz.

What a betrayal! What a blasphemy!

He turns a blind eye to the Sarkaz's suffering? What does he consider the Sarkaz's fate to be?!

“Traitor—” Theresis cast a spell, but it failed to penetrate the shield in Big Daddy’s hand. Logos had cast a spell on it, making the shield indestructible.

Even more troublesome are the deep-sea hunters, the so-called hybrids of Agor and Seabrood. Although Theresis held these creatures in contempt, he had to admit that their mixed and tangled bloodlines did indeed make them exceptionally strong and fast, even surpassing most Sarkaz.

However, at this moment, the three of them were linked together and cooperated fully, which enabled them to exert a force greater than 3.

Even Theresis, the hero of the Sarkaz race, seemed somewhat powerless under such circumstances.

……

"Theresis, how pathetic you are..."

In the distance, a sea of ​​blood surged forth, but as it drew near, it transformed into a young man. He slowly walked toward the battlefield.

"..."

Theresis had clearly heard the Blood Lord's voice, but he ignored it, fighting silently and dealing with the dishonorable mob attack from the guys in front of him.

Logically, the Sarkaz should have ganged up on these sinners who dared to venture deep into Londinium. However, due to betrayals by the royal court and various other reasons, only Theresis ultimately joined the battle.

This guy is getting beaten up pretty badly by the group.

"Hmph, how inelegant! Does he even deserve to be called a regent?" The Blood Demon Lord frowned, then, as if making a decision, raised his hand.

"Do not refuse me, Theresis, I will mercifully bestow upon you a blessing, awakening the power that is already latent in the blood of the Sarkaz."

As he spoke, he cast his unchanging gaze upon Theresis.

Theresis didn't speak, but he didn't refuse either. He did need power, the power to annihilate the racial enemy before him.

With blood flowing faster through her body and the new power it brought, Theresis turned her body and actually forced the deep-sea hunters back.

The Blood Demon Lord clapped his hands gently.

"Theresis, can you feel it? Do you rejoice in my gift? How much power can be drawn from your mixed blood?"

He asked arrogantly, looking with great interest at Therese, who had accepted his gift.

“Power is enough… Anyway, I’ve decided to give everything to ensure the future of the Sarkaz.” Theresis raised her sword.

Despite his anger, he remained calm, though a burning rage raged deep within his seemingly unperturbed eyes.

"The son of Hurtikts, the traitor of the Sarkaz and the dishonorable at the end of the bloodline, will be executed by the ruler of the Sarkaz."

Theresis stared at the Wendigo covered in power armor and uttered the curse and prophecy that had been directed at Wendigo two hundred years ago.

The airships are approaching from the sky, bringing with them the dead souls and Theresia. This monarch will unleash the Demon King's execution upon the traitors before her.

"I will fight against fate."

The reactor of the Big Daddy power armor groaned, burning under overload conditions. Despite its best efforts in design and manufacturing, it could barely keep up with the pace of Big Daddy's battle.

However, the next moment, he let out a muffled groan, and the shadow of the airship enveloped everyone. The Sarkaz's ten-thousand-year-old soul of all beings projected its will onto everyone on the battlefield.

The Deepsea Hunters were not significantly affected; they were not Sarkaz.

However, Logos, Ascalon, and Big Daddy were all more or less touched by this terrifying will.

Logos brandished his bone pen, writing a series of incantations in the air. Ascalon disappeared into the shadows.
