Man on the ark, forced to become king

Lani killed her own body through a preordained death.

Golden Godwin was also killed by the Black Knife Assassin using the same power.

Pierced by the black sword imbued with predetermined death, the black serpent's wisp of consciousness had no chance of survival; this was the rule of the world.

Let alone a split consciousness, even if the Black Serpent's true form were to descend at this moment, it would not have the courage to face its destined death.

Humans die when they are killed, and so do gods.

puff~

The massive blade gently pierced Talulah's body. Lin Lu embraced the girl and whispered in her ear.

Goodbye, immortal black serpent.

"You and your tricks are laughable to me."

Chapter Seventy-Five: Dragon, Rabbit, Snake

"Thank you, thank you..."

The triangular giant sword was pulled from the girl's body, turning into specks of fluorescent light that dissipated.

The dark and cold feeling gradually faded, and soft golden light seeped through the skin and into the flesh, erasing all the shadows remaining in the soul and body.

After escaping from the Duke's mansion, Talulah felt a long-lost sense of ease and warmth for the first time, and all the annoying whispers that often echoed in her mind and ears disappeared.

From that day on, a nightmare called the Black Serpent entangled her, an invisible mountain pressing down on her shoulders, making it hard to breathe.

For the first time, bathed in the soft golden light, she felt that she was simply herself, and not something else.

However, being held in the arms of a strange man still made her feel a little ashamed.

With a slight struggle, Talulah tried to stand up, but felt weak all over and couldn't muster any strength.

"This is a normal reaction. Your body is being controlled by the black snake, and your physical strength has been almost completely exhausted."

Lin Lu reached under Talulah's armpits as if holding a doll. The phantom of the Golden Tree appeared behind her, and strands of golden light spread out, some covering the sleeping Infected and Shield Guards, and the rest entering the Dragon Girl's body.

In fact, Talulah's problems are much more serious than she can currently perceive.

The way Black Serpent fought completely drained her body. Although it wouldn't cause irreversible permanent damage, it would completely deplete her strength. Under Black Serpent's control, she could still forcibly squeeze out the last bit of stamina to run away, something Talulah herself couldn't do.

In fact, if it weren't for the Golden Tree's restorative abilities helping her, she would have felt incredibly sore all over and would have fallen into a deep sleep by now.

Even so, it's based on the fact that the Drak bloodline is truly powerful. If an ordinary person were subjected to such torment by the Black Serpent, it would be a miracle if they were still alive.

"I……"

As they spoke, the phantom of the golden tree vanished, and Lin Lu's body became extremely dim, almost leaving only a faint outline.

A wave of intense weakness washed over her, and she felt dizzy. Talulah managed to stand, and as if realizing what was about to happen, she forced a tiny voice to ask, "Who...who are you? Why are you helping us?"

He was extremely weak, but his consciousness was still relatively clear.

While she was suppressed by the black snake, she was only unable to control her body, but she could share what the black snake saw. Everything that just happened undoubtedly proved that this man must be an unimaginably powerful being.

The black snake used her body to unleash incredible power; the intense flames even melted the earth. Yet, even with such power, she couldn't defeat one of the big boss's avatars.

His true form wasn't even here, yet he could easily kill the Ursus inner guards who had left them helpless, as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs, just like crushing a few ants.

Moreover, Koschke, who had always wanted to possess her body, was clearly also very afraid of this big shot.

Talulah heard it clearly: Kosichek himself said that if this big shot were here in person, he would be no match for him.

What does this mean?

This means that this powerful figure is at least on par with Black Serpent, or even stronger! She has never seen such a powerful person in her life!

The strongest person she had ever seen was the commander of the Shield Guards, Mr. Patriot.

This big shot in front of me is undoubtedly stronger than Mr. Patriot.

Why would such a person suddenly have an avatar appear on the cold, desolate snowfield and even help them?

She overheard Kosiché mention the word 'game' when he was talking to the other person.

Could everything they've encountered today be a contest between two powerful individuals?

Kosiché summoned his bodyguards, intending to take over her body today, but this big shot somehow arrived here and personally thwarted Kosiché's plan.

If that's the case... what is his purpose?

Or rather, what does he want to do with the Reunion Movement?

"Do not think too much."

After a great battle, the avatar formed from the golden leaves is on the verge of disappearing, and even the remaining blurry outline is becoming transparent at a visible speed.

Lin Lu gently ruffled the dragon girl's hair and laughed, "You don't really think there's anything about the Reunion Movement that I would be interested in, do you?"

"The reason I came here is not as complicated as you think."

Do you still remember Chen Huijie from Longmen?

"Xiao Chen?"

Talulah was stunned when she heard the name again after many years.

How could she not remember? That was her own sister!

Over the years, she has secretly written countless letters to her sister, but she has kept them all hidden and never sent them. She has always wanted to see her sister again, and she has even dreamed of what that innocent child looks like now.

Occasionally, when I have some free time, I can't help but think about where she is now, and how she's doing...

Could it be that this big shot was brought in by Xiao Chen?

This idea was fleeting and was quickly rejected.

Putting aside the question of how someone of Chen's level could possibly befriend such a powerful figure, even if they could establish a connection, what makes her so capable of making such a big shot go to great lengths to travel from Lungmen to the desolate snowfields of Ursus to find her?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

However, the most unlikely guess is often the one that is closest to the truth.

"For certain reasons, Xiao Chen is now considered my disciple."

Lin Lu first confirmed her relationship with Chen, then sighed, "As a teacher, I can't go back on my promise, can I? I have good news for you, Xiao Chen has come with me too."

"Actually, I didn't want to bring her, but she was so obsessed with finding you that she was crying and making a scene, so I had no choice but to bring her here."

"Xiao Chen is here too?"

Upon hearing the news that Chen had arrived in Ursus, Talulah's eyes lit up with surprise, and her exhausted body miraculously regained some strength.

"Where are you...where are you now? I..."

"We're going to St. Petersburg for the Ursus Ice and Snow Music Festival, and you'll see her there."

"St. Petersburg? The Snow Music Festival?"

Talulah nervously gripped the hem of her dress. Her first instinct was to say that she wanted to go to St. Petersburg to find her sister, but a glimpse of the desolate wasteland after the war cooled her enthusiasm and brought her back to reality.

Yes... Chen Huijie may still be the same Chen Huijie as before, but she is no longer the 'Tata' of yesteryear.

Talulah is currently an Oripathy patient and the leader of the Reunion Movement.

She cannot leave for the sake of those who follow her.

"You won't leave with me, will you?"

Lin Lu saw through her thoughts and ruffled her soft white hair again.

"Go do what you want to do. What I said to the white rabbit applies to you as well."

"Lead the infected to break through Ursus's blockade, cross their defenses, and take over the cities of Ursus. Xiao Chen and I will be waiting for you in Chernobog."

"Then, goodbye, Talulah."

"Wait--"

In her panic, Talulah tried to reach out and touch the shadow in front of her, but only managed to grab some scattered fluorescent light, watching helplessly as the illusory humanoid figure shattered and disappeared.

"and many more……"

The unfinished words murmured out as the Drak girl looked at her palm, then at the desolate land where the flames still lingered.

A long, narrow crack stretched across the wasteland, extending over a hundred meters. It was the result of a sword strike slashed down by the black serpent, its destructive power shattering the earth and melting rocks.

—Then the man casually dodged her, leaving the black snake helpless, like a clown performing a farcical comedy, utterly ridiculous.

As the snow melted, murky mud flowed down from the edge of the battlefield, submerging the fire-scorched earth. The inner guards, dressed in black overcoats, lay in the mud. Five corpses lay there. Bozokasti had killed three of them at the cost of his life. One was reduced to ashes by the black and white fire, while the other two lay on the ground, still in good condition.

The Grim Reaper in the eyes of many, after death, is no different from an ordinary person.

Before beings of a higher level, the so-called inner guards are nothing more than ants that can be crushed with a flick of the wrist.

Through a battle, Talulah gained a clearer understanding of this world.

The girl struggled to move to Yelena's side, her steps faltering, and looked around.

An inner guard's spell burst took the lives of several infected, and the shield guards and yetis lay in the mud. Yelena collapsed next to a large Originium crystal that vaguely resembled a human figure.

That patriot, as majestic as a mountain, also fell here.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as Talulah slumped down beside Yelena and gently patted her ear.
