Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 105 Settlement... and the Not-So-Newcomers
— [Settlement in progress...]

—【Complete the side quest—Destroy the Evil Dragon's Nest. All participants will receive rewards based on their contribution. Reincarnator Siming will receive one B-rank side quest and 7000 reward points.】

— [In Team Battle mode, defeat 4 enemy members whose gene locks are not yet activated to obtain 4 C-level side quests and receive 8000 reward points.]

—【Team Celestial currently has a team battle score of +14 points, which translates to 28000 reward points.】

— [If the special team battle rules are completed and the total number of remaining reincarnation teams is greater than 2, each member of the Celestial Team will receive one B-level side quest and 6000 reward points.]

— [Calculating remaining reincarnation resources...]

—【Si Ming, the Reincarnator, currently possesses a total of 2 A-level side quests, 1 B-level side quest, and 2 C-level side quests, with a total reward point of 80423.】

A bountiful harvest.

Si Ming glanced at his to-do exchange list. This was enough to buy an AA-grade Necromancer enhancement, plus an extra item to return to the starting point. Although he had anticipated high rewards from the start, this level of reward was still somewhat unexpected.

Two more matches, and I might be able to exchange for an S-rank enhancement. So...

—That legendary Celestial Team 3+S who let the double Tier 4 Demon Team enter the field first in the first generation and then fled at the mere sight of them…is that really me?

Thoughts turn.

Considering the development of this team battle, if the Celestial Team still doesn't have any psychic users by the time they face the Demon Team, then it might actually follow the original scenario: they conduct a thorough search and pursuit, only to ultimately fail to even catch their opponent.

He thought so.

As for the possibility of losing, he didn't even consider it. A strong person must be confident in their own strength, leaving room for maneuver, but not being too defeatist.

—When will Linaya finally arrive?
Thoughts turn.

The train of thought has stalled here.

Her slightly suspended feet touched the ground. Then—

"We meet again, everyone from Team Celestials."

Beyond the beam of light, a North Pole team psychic with long, milky-white hair, a graceful figure, but a much more composed demeanor and more capable attire, bowed slightly to him and lifted the hem of her long skirt.

"I am Liesel von Eisenberg from the Arctic team."

"After a world apart, I've come to join you all, to repay the kindness of the past."

She raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the familiar attire of the crowd. A gentle smile met their slightly stunned gazes.

"Ah...it seems that in your eyes, we have only just parted ways."

........................

after a while……

"Uh... so you really did fill that nearly 20,000 reward points deficit by frantically completing various side quests during those 24 hours. And after returning to the Main God Square, you immediately went back to grinding for points, fighting, and improving your basic enhancements and individual combat power. As a result, you easily completed the captain certification at the start of the next storyline, and then chose to join our Celestial Team?"

At the table, Liesel, with her long, milky-white hair, sat quietly not far from Siming. She made no attempt to hide her past experiences; in fact, the reincarnators of the Celestial Team knew her inside and out.

"I thought you'd stay with the Arctic team. The conflicts within your team... shouldn't be too big?" Almalia sized her up, and whether it was her imagination or not, this woman of Slavic descent seemed to have a slightly sharp tone in her voice.

“Yes.” Liesel answered calmly. “Captain Yori is a very good person. Everyone on the Arctic team has taken good care of me. Even Mr. Gunnir is just not very bright and is temporarily confused. I received a lot of help from them. It is only right and wrong for me to carry on their legacy.”

"Then why are you still..." The purple-haired—Almalia's hair color had changed again—magical girl gently covered her mouth, looking at her with a hint of apology. "I'm sorry, I wasn't accusing you, I was just a little curious..."

Si Ming gave her a gentle look.

But Liesel simply nodded in agreement and readily answered her.

"Yes, that's what I originally thought too. When the next world began, the Supreme God sent many promising and outstanding newcomers to the Arctic team. I also successfully united them into a cohesive unit. But..."

She let out a soft breath.

"The world I went to was the movie 'Ben-Hur,' yes, the one set against the backdrop of the New Testament of the Bible. Because the Arctic team was on the verge of being wiped out, the difficulty was very low. But when I reached the end of the story and touched the wooden cross on which Jesus was crucified, I heard a message from the Lord God."

Jacob opened his mouth slightly, and Si Ming's eyes lit up slightly.

And she continued.

"The Supreme God told me that I could pay for a B-level side quest and 8000 reward points, and with three days of preparation time, I could resurrect the dead reincarnators I had seen on the cross, limited to the Arctic team. And coincidentally, after completing some side quests, I happened to have such a resource at my disposal."

She laughed happily. "So I figured it out. Rather than inheriting the will of the dead, it's better to bring them back to life and let them fulfill their unfinished duties themselves. So I resurrected Captain Yori. Although he lost all his equipment and his captaincy, the enhancements he purchased from the God and the second-tier gene lock bestowed upon him by the God were not taken back. Moreover, after his resurrection, he will not need to bear the team battle debts from the Dragon War world."

"I no longer owe him a life, nor do I bear any obligation to the Arctic Team. So, when the guide of the Supreme God appeared before me and asked if I was willing to join the Celestial Team, I chose to agree. After all, the Arctic Team was able to be rebuilt because of the Celestial Team's grace, and I also like the atmosphere of the Celestial Team even more. And..."

She glanced around at the reincarnators of the Celestial Team, carefully avoiding Yu Zhiwei, who was currently eating a melon—she had actually bought one and was munching on it. The mental fluctuations of a spiritual being could be released and then immediately withdrawn.

"The Arctic team will eventually have new psychic potential members. But it's probably rare to find a psychic who becomes captain and then wants to join the Celestials team."

'Clang—' Something fell over.

It was a chair, and it toppled over in Almalia's violent movements. The purple-haired woman's face contorted in agony, her pupils dilating and then contracting repeatedly. She forcefully covered her mouth.

"He... he can actually be resurrected!?"

She suddenly stood up, but could no longer say anything. She just waved vigorously at the others, then staggered into her personal space.

Valentina instinctively stood up to chase after her, but Yu Zhiwei pulled her back. Liesel also looked somewhat bewildered. Si Ming, however, simply waved his hand.

“Let her go. Her experience before joining the Celestial Team is somewhat similar to yours, Liesel. It’s just that she didn’t know that dead reincarnators could be resurrected. So when she came here, she was somewhat resigned and self-destructive.”

“Let her have some peace and quiet. Liesel, this isn't your fault. And…”

Si Ming extended his hand to her.

"You've had a long journey, Ms. Eisenberg. The Celestials team really needs someone like you. I'm Siming, let's get along well in the days to come."

The girl's soft fingers then gently touched his palm.

"Please just call me Liesel, Captain Simin. I will do my duty in the days to come."

He gently shook the hand he was holding. Si Ming smiled warmly.

"The Celestial Team isn't a team with complicated and strict rules. And strictly speaking, I'm just the mouthpiece that everyone unanimously elected, not the captain certified by the main god. If you don't mind, everyone gathers here every day at noon to chat, share ideas and combat experiences. Most of the time everyone comes, but of course, if you have other plans, you're free to do whatever you want."

Liesel glanced at Almaria's tightly closed door, as if she had come to a realization. She then obediently nodded and made her promise.

"I will attend the meeting on time, Captain."

The atmosphere subtly became much more lively. Seeing that Si Ming and she had finished speaking, the others also came over to greet her warmly. Although the first mental link would have to be postponed temporarily due to Almaria's absence, at least for now, exchanging names didn't need to be delayed any longer.

“Nice to meet you, Liesel, I’m Valentina. My main roles in the team are electronic warfare, stealth, and vehicle driving. Sometimes I also work as a gunner.” Valentina extended her hand first, as always, very generously, and shook it vigorously after taking her hand.

“Yu Zhiwei, mid-to-close range combatant.” Yu Zhiwei leaned back lazily in her chair, squinting at Liesel—she had tried her best to appear harmless, but when their eyes met, Liesel still trembled slightly like a rabbit encountering its natural enemy.

"You should be able to sense it too. My condition is a little... different from others." Yu Zhiwei shrugged helplessly. "Anyway, be careful when making mental connections in the future. Don't go any further after touching my superficial consciousness. Otherwise, something might happen..."

She shrugged.

“I understand.” Liesel nodded firmly and seriously. “I will try my best!”

“Don’t be too nervous, Miss Liesel,” Jacob said with a smile. “I am Jacob, the Blasphemous Priest. But you can just think of me as an ordinary priest. In the team, I am mainly responsible for healing and remote support. If anything goes wrong in the spiritual realm, I can also help to deal with it.”

"And me, I'm Luo Yinglong, you can call me Xiao Luo. I've been trying to learn some Taoist arts recently. As for my role in the team... well, a jack-of-all-trades, someone who knows a little bit about everything? And this quiet guy over here..." Luo Yinglong reached out and put his arm around Song Tian's shoulder.

"If you call him Little Song, then... *gulp*!"

An elbow strike.

Some clueless guy was sent flying at high speed by a phonoblast and quickly disappeared from sight.

Song Tian then lowered his arm and nodded to Lisel.

"Song Tian, ​​swordsman, melee fighter."

Liesel blinked.

She knew the atmosphere within the Celestial Team was relatively relaxed. But she truly didn't realize it was this relaxed. Several seconds passed before she reacted. Because Si Ming raised his hand.

"Don't worry about him, Luo Yinglong is a bit eccentric. But he's still very reliable when needed."

Si Ming looked at her and nodded slightly.

"Then let me introduce myself one last time. I am Si Ming, codename Professor. I am a necromancer and a warrior who uses aura and fire. I can handle anything related to combat. And outside of combat..."

"I believe that as long as we unite and help each other, we can easily overcome any difficulty, no matter how great it may be."
