Man on the ark, forced to become king

Lani could understand Theresa's actions, but she didn't think they were right.

A king should act like a king. Blindly being tolerant and kind will only be seen as weakness. If you hold power but don't use it, then it's meaningless.

In her view, now that her physical problems have been resolved, Theresa should strike with overwhelming force and announce her return in the strongest possible way. For the Sarkaz, who revere strength, only absolute power can earn their approval.

They need a ruthless demon king.

"This kind of demon king won't do..."

Lin Lu agreed with Lani's point of view, and he also felt that Theresa's approach was very problematic.

Leaving aside the internal problems of the Sarkaz... Didn't she realize that neither the Tower of Babel nor the Royal Army were necessarily composed entirely of Kazdel's people?

The nations unwilling to see Kazdel rise again have never stopped using methods to deal with this country, and the two major powers within Kazdel are not a monolithic entity.

Perhaps after today, they will be hesitant to make any big moves in public when faced with Theresa's formidable strength.

But now, with the two armies facing each other, the Tower of Babel and the Royal Court at loggerheads, and the leaders of both sides on the battlefield, isn't this a perfect opportunity to create conflict?

No sophisticated schemes are needed; even the most clumsy and inept methods are enough to stir up a chaotic storm at this moment.

For example—to take action against Theresa or Theresis.

Whether it's Wang Tingjun or the Tower of Babel, most people's nerves are in a state of high tension, making them easily triggered by sudden stimuli and causing big trouble.

It's possible. Theresa wasn't unaware of it, but her physical recovery put her in a state of extreme confidence, allowing her to suppress any potential emergencies with absolute power.

As his thoughts raced, Lin Lu looked at the distant battlefield again, and then realized that what he had feared had indeed happened.

Suddenly, bursts of energy erupted from the once orderly ranks of the royal army, and visible blood-red light converged, staining a large area crimson.

Many Sarkaz warriors, as if a switch had been flipped, suddenly went berserk, launching indiscriminate attacks on their surroundings. Many piercing warriors and magic swordsmen, their bodies shrouded in dense blood-red light, charged toward the colossus of the demon god.

Compared to the overall number of troops assembled, the number of berserk soldiers was actually not large. However, the problem was that the atmosphere was extremely oppressive at this moment. The Tower of Babel and the Royal Army were already facing off against each other from a distance, with tensions running high. When Theresa stormed into the battlefield like a demon god descending to earth, the dual pressure of bloodline and instinct pushed the nerves of many soldiers to their limit.

At such times, the sudden attack almost makes some people lose their minds on the spot and instinctively fight back.

Chaos spread instantly.

Even more outrageous, after the royal army became agitated, Babel Tower seemed to be stimulated by something, and its well-prepared troops rushed out directly from the constructed direction.

"stop!"

Theresa's voice echoed across the battlefield, but to little avail; the bloodline suppression no longer worked on the berserk warriors.

She wanted to use the power of the Demon King to forcibly control it, but maintaining the existence of the Demon God Colossus consumed too much energy, and it would take some time to spread the power to cover such a large area of ​​the battlefield.

Moreover, she was forced to block several spells that flew from the royal army, and many Sarkaz piercing hands rushed toward her at great speed.

A small mistake can lead to a huge error.

A slight time difference caused the situation to deteriorate to an irreversible point.

The distance between the Tower of Babel and the royal army was already close enough that both sides could see each other's troops. From charging at each other to close combat, everything happened in just a few minutes.

First came the fastest piercers and magic swordsmen, followed by the other regular troops.

In the blink of an eye, a great battle erupted!

The battle escalated from hundreds and thousands of people to a full-scale war involving tens of thousands. By the time Theresa was free, it was too late. Even she couldn't forcibly control tens of thousands of people; that was far more difficult than simply exerting suggestion and influence on a mental level.

This battle came so absurdly, catching everyone off guard.

In the center of the battlefield, Theresa and Theresis were both stunned.

"What on earth do you want!"

Wang Jian's sword was pointed at Theresis's throat. Theresis questioned him sharply, her anger evident in her voice. Materialized magical energy surrounded her, using the suspended crystals as nodes to construct a semi-circular barrier that separated this area. The mountain-like demon statue behind her was also forced to dissipate.

Now that the Tower of Babel and the Royal Army are locked in a chaotic battle, using the Colossus of the Demon Gods would be an indiscriminate attack that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. How can that be acceptable?

Not only can she not use the Demon God Colossus, she can't even use mind control now. If she forcibly controls the bodies of those warriors, she can't make the entire battlefield freeze instantly. Wouldn't the controlled people become sitting ducks if they stopped attacking?

Such a chaotic battlefield was a disaster for her.

"I didn't do it! I didn't do anything!"

Therese's face turned ashen. The roars and shouts of killing around him sounded so absurd, so absurd it was unbelievable.

He couldn't understand how such a situation could have arisen; such a thing should never have happened to the elite Royal Army that had been specially assembled!

He knew, of course, that there were spies in the army, something no one could avoid, but how could those guys living in the shadows possibly incite such a large-scale riot?

The soldiers of the Wang Ting Army are not those mercenaries who roam the wilderness. The Originium magic they use has been specially adjusted and they will not easily lose their minds. Otherwise, what general would dare to lead a group of time bombs that could explode at any time to the battlefield?

But the reality is that the impossible actually happened right before his eyes!

What's even more absurd is why the people from the Tower of Babel would rush up there?

Given that doctor's tactical abilities, he would never issue such a mindless order!

"Get them under control, Theresa! The losses will only increase if this continues!"

Theresis knew very well how terrifying a riotous Sarkaz group could be. In this state, they wouldn't listen to anyone's orders, not even the Regent's. For now, the only hope was that Theresa could forcefully end the battle and minimize the losses.

A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one; sacrificing some people gives us a chance to save more.

"I……"

Theresa looked around and could sense an extreme atmosphere brewing on the battlefield, growing ever stronger.

"I see."

Her pink eyes closed and opened again, gleaming with a deep black light. The barrier surrounding her suddenly shattered, and a materialized energy storm spread outwards from her center. The powerful impact even sent everyone within dozens of meters flying.

"I said, stop!"

Wang Jian raised and lowered his sword, like a hot knife cutting through oil. The dark sword energy rose more than ten meters high, extending all the way and dividing the battlefield violence, leaving deep cracks in the earth.

The clouds, bound by an invisible force, swirled and coalesced into a dark vortex, and an immense pressure descended from the sky, completely covering the battlefield.

"Sarkaz, submit to me."

The pink pupils were completely stained with pitch black. A material somewhere between crystal and metal material materialized out of thin air, covering the body and constructing a hideous armor. The demon king's power, driven to its limit, forcefully suppressed the soldiers' individual will in the most tyrannical manner. Those who were slightly weaker could not even stand up and fell to the ground.

"Lani, lend her a hand."

The chaotic battlefield was reflected in her eyes. Lin Lu frowned slightly and turned to look in the direction of the Tower of Babel.

In the instant the chaos erupted, he seemed to sense a familiar presence from the base of Babel.

Madness, destruction, pure chaos... that's the smell of a curse.

The eternal curse that once resided within the body of the dung eater—he had fought against it and personally killed the dung eater—made it highly unlikely that he would admit his mistake.

He couldn't help but wonder if something that shouldn't have appeared had followed them into this world, or if this world was already inhabited by believers of a curse.

In any case, this matter must be made clear: anyone who attempts to cultivate a breeding ground for curses should be burned to ashes.

"it is good."

Lani noticed Lin Lu's unusual behavior but didn't say anything. Since it was the king's request, she wouldn't refuse.

A battlefield with tens of thousands of people is not a big deal for a demigod.

Her brother, General Rataen of Shattered Stars, once performed the feat of fighting against ten thousand men single-handedly. After she ascended to godhood, she could also do that, except that controlling them instead of killing them would make it much simpler.

Thus, those who remained conscious amidst the battlefield were horrified to discover that the sky, which had previously been illuminated by faint light, had instantly transformed into a deep night sky, with countless stars shining brightly, and a massive, dark blue moon that occupied half the sky quietly rising from the horizon.

Eternal night descends at this moment.

The light of the dark moon, carrying the will of the gods, shone upon the earth, drawing away all energy and plunging all restlessness into eternal silence.

Madness, fear, numbness—all life standing on the earth involuntarily looks up at the sky, their minds captivated by the cold moon.

This is not a border region, and Lani certainly cannot turn the entire world into night in an instant, but her will can still cover a city. Within the realm of eternal night, everything must obey her laws.

In the silent, eternal night, the only one unrestrained was Theresia. Without being deliberately targeted, even the realm of the gods could not directly affect her in the present moment.

The power of gold flowed within her, enough to exempt her from the effects of eternal night.

Besides her, even Therese was captivated by the dark moon and it took her a while to recover.

Lani wasn't targeting any specific person, so a strong person of her level could resist Dark Moon through their own will.

However, no matter how much you get rid of it, the fear and despair of an ant looking up at the sun can never be erased.

"what is that?"

Therese's voice was dry and hoarse, as if it were being forced out of his throat. His body trembled slightly as he stared incredulously at the enormous moon, even wondering if he was dreaming.

Such a scene should only exist in dreams.

"Lani...that's her Dark Moon."

Even Theresa, who recognized Dark Moon, was no less shocked.

She knew Lani was strong, but she didn't expect her to be this strong. Even a true god couldn't be stronger than this.

Faced with such power, an ordinary person's army is utterly meaningless; no matter how many soldiers there are, they are just numbers. The so-called battle is more like a fight between insects, ridiculous and laughable.

"Hurry up, maintaining the eternal night realm is very taxing, and I can't hold on much longer."

Without warning, Lani's voice rang in her ears, instantly snapping Theresa out of her shock and reminding her of what she needed to do.

With Lani's help, she could free up her hands to force the soldiers on both sides to calm down and end this absurd war.

Then, figure out who's behind it all.
