Ark, they took my future seriously

[Carlo asked the technicians to share their research with other teams while activating the combat system, preparing for a bloody battle with the invading evil demons.]

[Carlo asked Skadi to lead the technicians to escape, but Skadi refused, saying there was nowhere to escape on the ice, and chose to fight alongside Carlo.]

[Staring at the direction where the evil spirit was approaching, Carlo complained to Skadi beside him: "I didn't let you join the advance team at the beginning, but you insisted on coming. Now you can't avoid the danger this time."]

[Skadi shook her head: "I don't regret it. It's worth it to die with you. If there is a next life, we can still be friends."]

Chapter 155 As long as you are by my side, I will not become Haisi.

[The automatic weapons on guard outside the perimeter were the first to engage in a firefight with the evil spirits, but it didn't take long before these weapons fell silent with the sound of steel being crushed.]

[Looking at the direction where the sound came from, everyone clenched their weapons in fear.]

[Skadi and Carlo looked at each other. Neither of them spoke, but they both understood what the other meant. Instead of being afraid, it would be better to take the initiative.]

[Skadi and Carlo took the lead in charging the evil demon. ]

[However, at this moment, the ice surface suddenly began to vibrate more violently than when the evil demon appeared just now, and at the same time, the sound of ice breaking could be heard in the distance.]

[Along with the crackling of the ice, there was also an unknown singing voice, which sounded like a woman's voice, but also like a child's voice, just like the legendary siren.]

[Everyone else was shocked by the sudden change, and even Carlo couldn't figure out what had happened.]

[But Skadi understood the unknown singing coming from afar. ]

[You hear joy and happiness in the song, and the life under the lake is calling for your arrival.]

[They will offer you a helping hand, will you accept it? ]

[Please take off your armor and respond to them with your true voice. 】

【If you refuse, just ignore it. 】

Looking at the description in the deduction, Skadi guessed a not-so-good possibility.

She suspected that the monsters under the lake were the Hai Si, whom she was so familiar with.

Why is there a sea of ​​​​siblings in the evil demon's territory?

The Agors had explored the Arctic waters before, and there should be no sea creature activities there, so why would there be sea creatures in the evil demonic realm of the Arctic?

These questions troubled Skadi's mind.

But apart from the sea heirs in the deduction, no one could answer all of this for her.

[They will extend a helping hand to you, will you accept it? If you accept it, it will bring unpredictable changes. ]

The system popped up the prompt again, but this time there was an additional reminder.

This shows that accepting Hai Si's help is not free of charge.

But in the current situation, both she and Carlo are in a state of certain death. The six giant beast-level demons before them are simply not something they can defeat.

If you want to survive, it seems that your only option right now is to accept Hai Si's help.

It seems there is no choice.

Choosing it might be dangerous, but if he doesn't choose it, Carlo will definitely die.

After a brief consideration, Skadi decided to cooperate with Haisi under the lake in order to give everyone a chance to survive.

[You unlocked the safety fuse on the steel armor, the key parts of the armor were disconnected, and you took off the armor. ]

[Watching you take off your armor, Carlo and your companions were stunned. ]

[Because the dense fog in this area is extremely toxic and corrosive to the mind, armor is the only tool to protect humans. In their eyes, taking off your armor is tantamount to suicide.]

[You thought so at first, but when you left the armor and breathed in the thick fog, you found that you didn't feel anything unusual. The thick fog here couldn't cause you any harm at all.]

[At the same time, without the sound insulation and information processing system of the armor, you finally understood what the voice from afar was saying. ]

[Joy, Ishamara. I want to return to the herd. …]

[The Haisi under the lake worship you as their god. They want to integrate into your consciousness and become a part of your leadership.]

[Whether you accept them or not, this will cause you to undergo a sea-like mutation. ]

"Now that it has come to this, do I still have a choice?"

Skadi responded with a rhetorical question.

[You connected the underwater sea to your consciousness, and in an instant, a huge amount of information poured into your brain.]

[A history spanning nearly ten thousand years is flowing through your mind. Under the influence of Ishamara's blood, your brain has evolved on the spot and can choose to shield and filter useful information.]

[Based on the information that flashed by, you understood why this group of sea creatures appeared in the evil demon's territory. ]

[When the evil demon descended on Terra, it directly swallowed a large area of ​​the Arctic into this strange space, and the sea heirs who were swimming in the ocean under the Arctic ice at that time were also swallowed into this strange space. ]

[Combined with Ishamara's stored memories, the sea creatures in the Arctic suddenly lost contact at that time, and the sea creatures determined that the Arctic was dangerous and not conducive to survival, so for the next few thousand years, the sea creatures did not set foot in the Arctic. ]

[After entering the demonic subspace, the sea creatures that originally belonged to the Arctic faced great challenges in survival. In order to survive, these sea creatures that lost a large group of them evolved various functions that could cope with the environment here. ]

[Finally, in this place surrounded by evil spirits, Hai Si successfully seized all the water areas and was completely immune to all the evil spirits' means of corruption. The evil spirits also knew how powerful Hai Si was and did not try to take back the water areas for thousands of years.]

[Now, if the demons had not discovered the outsiders such as Carlo's advance team, they would not have risked stepping on the ice where Hai Si existed. 】

After briefly understanding the background of this group of sea creatures, Skadi immediately gave them the order to eliminate these evil demons.

[When Skadi's order was issued, the calm lake water under the ice began to boil in an instant.]

[An ice-breaking sea urchin with a mouth full of fangs and a body hundreds of meters tall violently tore the ice with its mouthparts sharper than those of a sandworm.]

[The moment the giant sea monster appeared on the ice, the thick evil fog that had been covering the ice surface disappeared as if blown away by the wind.]

[To be more precise, it was the evolved Hai Si who devoured the thick fog created by the evil demons and transformed the environment into a scene suitable for Hai Si to fight.]

[As the thick fog dissipated, Carlo and the members of the advance team finally saw the scene happening around them.]

[I saw a terrifying amount of monsters flowing under the ice, and the point where they gathered was a giant beast-level demon less than a kilometer away from them. ]

[A giant ice-breaking sea monster that was more than ten meters thick broke the ice in one bite and bit off part of the demon's tentacles. ]

[The bitten demon, the other tentacles fought back vigorously, and the eyes on the tentacles also sprayed black liquid towards the surrounding sea creatures. ]

[But their attacks had no effect on Hai Si. The powerful giant beast-level evil demon was bitten tightly by Hai Si and dragged into the cracked ice cave. Then the Hai Si swarmed around and used their specialized claws and mouthparts to bite the evil demon crazily. ]

[The blood and violence of the scene were enough to make everyone's scalps tingle even from a distance. At this moment, they actually felt a little sympathy for the opponent who just wanted to kill them.]

"The sea creatures are able to evolve to this level. Compared with the sea creatures in the deep sea, these sea creatures trained by the evil spirits are too terrifying."

Looking at the battle record of the Hai Si, Skadi also felt a little scared.

The giant beast-level demon was torn into pieces by Hai Si in an instant.

If the sea creatures in the deep sea had such powerful abilities at the beginning, they would have easily wiped out Agor.

In reality, Skadi can feel the horror of the sea here even through the screen, not to mention the others who are at the simulation site.

Fortunately, they have all received professional training. If ordinary people saw this scene, they would probably be scared to pee their pants.

[Soon, Hai Si eliminated the evil demons, and then you gave them a hidden order.]

[When you finished all this and turned back to the camp, you found that your companions were pointing their weapons at you. Although you couldn't see their faces under their helmets, you could tell from their trembling arms that they were afraid of you.]

[It was then that you discovered that because you had received this group of sea creatures, you had developed the characteristics of sea creatures. When you were unconscious, your body had evolved sharp claws that could easily scrape off the skin of evil spirits in order to cope with the battle with them.]

[Gills that can swallow thick fog, a third eye that can adapt to dark environments. ]

Seeing this, Skadi felt like crying.

“…It’s over. I’ve turned into an ugly monster!”

"Is there any way to change back?"

[You searched Ishamara's memories and picked out the ability of adaptive evolution.]

[In front of everyone in the camp, you retracted the spikes on your skin, the claws on your hands, and adjusted your pupils back to normal size.]

[But even if you become what you were at the beginning, everyone already knows that you are a monster different from humans. ]

[As you get closer, your companions in the camp retreat one after another.]

[Some of those who were weaker in endurance even shouted at you, "Don't come over here!"]

【“Monster, stay away from us.”】

[Under their roar, you stopped in a daze, not knowing where to go. ]

[And at this moment, the sea beneath the lake is calling you to enter the waters again. ]

【The large group returns to deep water. 】

Skadi fell silent as he watched everyone's reactions during the deduction.

"Um……"

To be honest, she felt a little aggrieved.

The reason why I accepted Hai Si's help and became Hai Si was to save everyone.

But after she saved everyone, they looked at her like this, and some even told her to get away.

They can't be reasonable.

Skadi in reality feels unhappy and aggrieved, let alone the Skadi in the simulation.

Because of the sea inheritance, Skadi's ability to perceive emotions in the deduction is much stronger than Skadi who has not experienced the sea inheritance.

The fear, terror, and rejection of everyone in the camp were all transmitted to Skadi's heart without any omission.

[Under the rejection of your former comrades and the call of Haisi, you have the idea of ​​leaving the team and jumping into the deep sea. ]

"It's going to be bad. I can't even interfere with this choice."

When Skadi saw that she was about to throw herself into Haisi's arms, she was so scared that she immediately told her simulated self to give up the idea.

However, Skadi's operation did not receive any feedback from the system, and Skadi in the simulation was still thinking about the issue of diving into the deep sea.

It can even be said that it is ready to be plunged into the deep sea.

[However, at this moment, an angry roar resounded in everyone's ears.]

[“What are you doing, you idiots? Don’t you know who she is?”]

[“What? You couldn’t even move when you saw the evil demons, but now you have the courage to pick up a weapon in front of your companions?”]

[Carlo yelled at the top of his voice and publicly reprimanded the others.]

To be honest, Carlo is really unhappy now.

One of the reasons why he was unhappy was that he did not die.

The other part is the attitude of these people.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was Skadi who saved them just now.

But they told the benefactor who saved them to go away.

At this time, if Carlo didn't come out and say a few words, he would be unworthy of his position as the commander-in-chief.

[“Commander-in-chief, you should have seen what she looked like just now.” Someone said tremblingly.]

[Carlo: "Of course I saw her! I have seen scarier ones than her. Among the ten great royal courts of the Sarkaz, which one didn't have a hideous face?"]

[Carlo: "Our defense organization has networked with experts from all over the world. Is it strange that some of them are capable and have extraordinary abilities?"]

[After listening to Carlo's explanation, many people showed expressions of understanding. ]

[“It turns out that Skadi is a member of that immortal race.”]

[“I heard that many immortal races also have the ability to drive wild animals.”]

[“What? You scared me. It turns out that Skadi is the killer arranged by Chief Carlo.”]

[Fear comes from the unknown. When Carlo gave an explanation for Skadi's situation, others naturally stopped being afraid.]

[Among them, the person who just loudly rebuked Skadi and told her to get out of here regretted his cowardly words just now.]

[They came to Skadi in a team, bowed to her and apologized, and praised Skadi for commanding Hai Si to defeat the evil demon.]

[What Carlo said for her just now was like a ray of sunshine that dispelled the darkness of the night. After Carlo appeared, all the darkness in Skadi's heart was dispelled.]

[You completely gave up the idea of ​​​​jumping into the deep sea, and secretly vowed that as long as Carlo was there, you would never think about becoming a sea heir again. ]

"Carlo, you are truly... my most important friend."
