reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Melansha was immediately assigned a task upon arrival, so she was naturally full of enthusiasm.

“One of our field operations teams lost contact in Victoria. According to their last signal, it was located in the Clerbrason area within Victoria,” Graphite explained.

"The Clerbrason region..." This name was naturally familiar to Miss Melantha.

“Oh right, you’re originally from Victoria, which makes things even easier—that’s the old Gaul region, which was later annexed by Victoria.”

"According to information from Rhodes Island's overseas offices, that area was ravaged by a natural disaster many years ago, and the town was destroyed."

Melantha nodded, looking at the mission briefing in her hand.

“We don’t know the status of that field team either. Maybe they’re still alive. Of course, we have to prepare for the worst, since it’s been more than 48 hours since we received the news… But the latter possibility is actually very small, that’s what I think. They’ve probably just gotten lost in the wild.”

As he spoke, Graphite sighed:

"If Supervisor Bai Ye were still alive, he would probably have found them by now."

“We can’t always rely on the teachers,” Melantha said softly. “I will go and find them.”

Graphite nodded:

"Yes, those unfortunate guys are in your hands now..."

After thinking for a moment, she spoke again:

"I heard that things weren't very peaceful in Lentinium before. After the mission is completed, you can take a vacation and go back to see how your family is doing."

Melantha's face lit up with surprise; she really wanted to find an opportunity to see her family.

Londinium had almost become a battlefield, but her teacher intervened to save everyone and helped the new king ascend the throne. Although a new order had been established, the entire country had indeed suffered a great catastrophe.

Although Melantha's family had taken refuge under White Night's arrangement from the very beginning, Melantha was still somewhat worried about them. Moreover, Miss Melantha hadn't been back for a long time.

"Order has now been restored in Victoria, and those who committed crimes during the previous unrest have been severely punished. Optimistically speaking, those field agents should be fine."

Graphite wasn't really sure herself, but as the supervisor, she couldn't put too much pressure on Melantha, so she could only make wild predictions here.

"How should I get there?" Melantha asked.

“Although your team members haven’t arrived yet, the high-speed aircraft is ready and can depart at any time,” Graphite replied, then added, “Just in case, please bring your powered armor.”

"it is good."

"Oh right, Bai Ye left me a box with him and asked me to give it to you. It should be something useful."

As he spoke, Shi Mo took out a box from the cabinet behind him.

Although it was called a box, it did look quite large. Melanie took it and found that it was indeed quite big.

"Thank you," Melanie said.

Graphite shook its head:

"Having a good teacher is truly enviable..."

Melantha nodded in deep agreement. Ever since returning to Rhodes Island, she had been receiving gifts and care from her teacher from various places.

This feeling is really good.

Chapter 195 Returning Home

(I really want to win the goldfish prize, this is amazing... Only 3 days left!)

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

"I didn't know that large groups had such convenient functions."

Bai Ye looked at the three deep-sea hunters who had been healed by Isamara and couldn't help but sigh.

Without needing equipment left over from the previous civilization, nor Agor's bioengineering laboratory, the problem that had originally troubled Kal'tsit was easily solved by Isamara.

Skadi and Grace had the mildest symptoms. Isamara only severed their connection with the will of the horde, after which the Deepsea Hunters would no longer be affected or controlled by the horde, nor would they undergo further mutation.

The thing that Goredia had been worried about was finally resolved. The transformation into a monster was always a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the deep-sea hunters, and the number of deep-sea hunters who died by themselves or were executed by their guards even exceeded the number of hunters who died in battle.

Laurentina's situation is more complicated, as she has had a large amount of Originium concentrate injected into her body. This concentration of Originium concentrate can easily infect an entire town.

Therefore, even if it can be treated surgically in theory, such sources of infection are difficult to eliminate, and if not handled properly, they can lead to more serious infection events.

Even Kal'tsit found it difficult; she had no good way to solve the problem.

Isamara somehow extracted all the Originium concentrate from Laurentina's body, then used tiny, nanobot-like Sea-Child entities to devour the parts of Laurentina's body that had been corroded by Originium. Finally, she stimulated the Sea-Child components within Laurentina's body to generate a powerful self-healing ability, completely healing all the wounds.

After completing her treatment, Isamara, as before, severed all contact between the large group and Laurentina.

At this point, all the deep-sea hunters became individuals, separate from the larger group.

"call--"

Laurentina was the last to wake up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she could clearly feel the changes in her body. In the past, her body had been in a tug-of-war between the erosion of Originium and the effectiveness of her self-healing ability. If it weren't for the Deepsea Hunter's superhuman physique and the continuous healing from White Night, Laurentina would have collapsed long ago.

Now, she once again felt the long-lost health and comfort, as if a heavy stone pressing on her body had been removed, making her feel incredibly relaxed and at ease.

"Thank you, Isamara." Bai Ye looked at the newborn avatar in front of him and thanked her sincerely.

“You’re welcome. This is the gift that the Great Clan promised. The first concept the Great Clan learned is friendship.” As she spoke, Isamara looked at the sphere floating in her hand, sealed inside a crystal-clear liquid filled with tiny crystals.

"Bai Ye, you are the first friend of the group."

Bai Ye noticed something else.

"Be extremely careful, this thing must not be broken open and allowed to flow into the sea. The deep sea is the last pristine land on this continent that has not been contaminated by Originium." Bai Ye looked at the sphere in Isamara's hand with trepidation.

He knew that this beautiful crystal ball was filled with Originium concentrate extracted from Laurentina's body.

If this thing breaks, it will flow directly into the ocean, which would be terrible.

After all, the deep sea has not yet been contaminated by Originium, and Agor has never used Originium as an energy source.

"The Great Legion will thank you for the reminder." Isamara summoned a giant creature and then tossed the crystal ball into its mouth for safekeeping.

“However, the Great Group now also has the ability to access, analyze, and overcome Originium,” Isamara confessed.

The Originium fluid extracted from Laurentina's body can also become the catalyst for a large-scale evolution.

Bai Ye had no objection to this. After all, if the large group had no hostility, then no matter how powerful they became or how advanced their evolution was, they would not pose a threat to the current civilization.

Fortunately, they can also learn about Originium from another perspective through the large group, and see what exactly it is.

……

Bai Ye opened the game system panel and checked the time. A long time had passed since they left the land and ventured into the sea. Now that their goal had been achieved, it was time for them to leave.

"People will come here again in the future, and we will definitely not give up the technology here." Bai Ye looked at the laboratory in front of him with some reluctance.

“Then it seems our compatriots here can’t be moved—they’ll have to stay here for now.” Isamara looked at the “Deep Sea Tree” in front of her.

In the garden, there are also many dinosaurs that resemble plants. If they wanted to leave, the laboratory might become riddled with holes and then collapse instantly under the terrifying water pressure of the deep sea.

"I'll remind them to avoid disturbing you. Luna will also be keeping an eye on things." Bai Ye was quite satisfied with this.

Luna left her beacon in this laboratory deep within the mantle.

As the two worlds draw ever closer, they begin to attract each other, accelerating the process of their fusion. Bai Ye knew perfectly well that Luna, currently inside the Earth Well beneath the core city of Chernobog, was probably already calculating the progress of the fusion.

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

The journey back was much easier than the journey there, since all the Sealings were no longer their enemies. On the contrary, the large group shared the location and information of all Deep Sea Church members and associates with Bai Ye.

Although Bai Ye and the Deep Sea Hunters do not intend to take action themselves for the vast majority of them, Bai Ye will not let some of them off easily if they involve those who need revenge.

Along the way, Bai Ye and the hunters personally killed many of the guys who had experimented on Laurentina, and then left their corpses to the large group.

"These guys should be satisfied now, since they've already integrated with the swarm." Bai Ye looked at the huge corpse floating in the water, as countless terror fish and sea creatures hurriedly circled around him, rushing towards the nutrient-rich corpse.

These nutrients can also feed the larger group, and these people have indeed returned to the embrace of the group. For them, this is not even a punishment, but a blessing.

Although Bai Ye still couldn't understand why these people seemed to be in so much pain before they died, as if they were unwilling.

“There is no more kind-hearted messenger than me.” Bai Ye smiled.

“After all, you couldn’t bear to see them suffer, so you sent them on their way to fulfill their long-cherished wish first,” Laurentina replied with a smile.

She could already guess what Bai Ye wanted to say.

……

With the last cultist becoming food for the horde, White Night's purge finally ceased, and the Deepsea Hunters felt refreshed. As for the emptiness that might linger after revenge? There was no need to worry about that at all, since White Night had already filled the void left in the Deepsea Hunters' hearts.

Although, after Isamara's assistance, neither Laurentina nor Gretia needed Bai Ye's "treatment" anymore, the two tacitly avoided mentioning it.

Bai Ye continued to play dumb.

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

Ascending slowly from the depths of the ocean, Bai Ye gradually completed the decompression process. After all, he wasn't a born Agorian, and even though his physique had been perfected by the newborn Isamara, he still felt discomfort during rapid ascent.

Finally, Bai Ye successfully surfaced, breaking through the sea surface and breathing in fresh air once again after a long time.

At this moment, more than a month had passed since he and the deep-sea hunters entered the deep sea. They had been out of contact for too long, and seeing the sunlight felt like a lifetime had passed.

In mid-air, the "Cyclops" aircraft, which had been cruising for more than a month and had resupplyed itself several times, slowly came into view.

It was Baiye's last resort besides Luna, but obviously the process went very smoothly, and this backup plan did not take effect.

Upon reconnecting to the Iberian communication channel, Bai Ye's communication terminal emitted a series of notification sounds, and a large number of communication records flooded into Bai Ye's portable terminal.

Kal'tsit's, Talulah's, Kazimierz's, Lungmen's, and even Victoria's.

Because Bai Ye had been out of contact for so long, it had even caused panic among some people, and some people with ulterior motives were also making moves during this period. After all, Bai Ye had almost single-handedly suppressed these monsters and demons before, and now that he had been gone for a long time, some people with wishful thinking had come out again.

However, almost nothing happened, as Luna had essentially taken over the core city and could monitor and protect it at any time. While Luna was breaching the "Deep Blue" laboratory at the bottom of the deep sea, she was also maintaining the fusion of the two worlds in the core city, and had the resources to help White Night and Talulah monitor the city's situation.

Before some self-proclaimed hidden villains could even show their faces, Luna easily vanished into the deep darkness of the core city.

"Did you protect everyone? Thank you, Luna," Bai Ye said softly.

Then, he turned around, looked at the deep-sea hunters lying on the sea surface enjoying the long-awaited sunshine, and smiled, saying:

"Hunters, let's go home."

In the past, the deep-sea hunters' homeland was in the ocean; but now, they have a new place on land that they can call home.

“Yes, let’s go home.” Gladys nodded. Skadi and Laurentina smiled expectantly.

Although they had often fought for long periods in the deep sea in the past, the deep-sea hunters had never looked forward to returning as much as they did now. Because in the past, each return meant that the next expedition was about to begin, and the endless battles seemed to have no end.

Therefore, only this time will they feel relieved on their return journey, rather than grateful to have survived again.

The aircraft slowly descended and hovered on the water. After Luna opened the hatch, Skadi was the first to leap onto the aircraft and then ran into the cargo hold to find food.

Byakuya's inventory was filled with dry rations and high-calorie candies, enough to fill her up, but they didn't taste very good. Byakuya had received training in the past, so she was used to the taste of these things. However, Skadi was clearly bored and restless.

This guy actually has some foodie tendencies. After enduring more than a month of food deprivation, the first thing he did upon arriving on the aircraft was to find snacks to eat.

Perhaps the silly Titi hasn't noticed yet, but Laurentina and Grandia are surprised to find that their previous dehydration after coming ashore has been improved by Isamara, and now Grandia no longer feels uncomfortable on land.

Especially Goredia, who finally said goodbye to dehydration.

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

The aircraft slowly landed on the ground. Bai Ye took a deep breath and jumped out of the cabin.

The central square of Granfalo has temporarily served as Bai Ye's landing pad. Saint Carmen and two judges familiar with Bai Ye and his companions, Dario and Elene, have been waiting for some time.

The once bustling town of Granfalo—or rather, the fortress—has now fallen silent once more. Aside from a few disciplinary troops stationed there and some Inquisition hunting squads who had arrived earlier to regroup and rest, there is hardly anyone left.

The Hunting Squad is a newly formed team, usually composed of elite Inquisitors, but sometimes players also join. Their goal is to arrest and try the Deep Sea Church bishops and cultists listed on the list provided by White Night a few hours earlier.

On land and at sea, large groups will help the Inquisition keep tracking these guys. They probably never imagined that they would be "betrayed" by the god they believe in, without a shred of sympathy or protection.

Of course, since the list and data have only just been obtained, the judges have not yet fully assembled. There are still many such killing squads, and it is likely that the entire Iberia and the deep sea will not be peaceful in the future.

Of course, the Iberians should enjoy this sweet moment of revenge.

"Welcome back, heroes of Iberia." Carmen warmly welcomed Bai Ye and the deep-sea hunters. He had prepared himself for a fierce battle with the horde, but he hadn't expected Bai Ye to actually lead the hunters to completely resolve the issue.

The once gloomy old man finally smiled.

"I just did what I was supposed to do," Bai Ye said casually. He never liked to take credit for his own achievements, even if they were indeed his. Bai Ye preferred to keep a low profile and stay in the shadows rather than show off.

Perhaps in his view, these things are insignificant. He is more concerned with tangible matters.
