Man on the ark, forced to become king

boom!

Flames roared, the air twisted and boiled in the high temperature, and the violent temperature almost instantly scorched and melted the ceiling and walls of the corridor. The lava giant held a greatsword and swung it down from above. The flames wrapped around the sword were pulled into the shape of a crescent moon and slashed at Kosichie.

'My life is over!'

The fiery strikes brought not only destructive power but also an invisible, intangible pressure that weighed down on the body.

The black serpent's soul was strong enough to withstand the pressure of the divine fragments, but this body was just an ordinary Liberi, unable to resist the instinctive fear deep in his bloodline. Therefore, his evasion was a moment too slow.

A moment's hesitation can be the difference between life and death.

However, the scorching heat brushed past his body, and the expected result of being incinerated by the sword energy did not materialize.

His collar was suddenly grabbed by the back of his neck and he was dragged to the side, his neck constricted.

"Haven't seen you for just a few minutes, and you've already gotten diarrhea?"

Lin Lu's large face became clear in Kosich's eyes. He blushed with excitement, stammering and panting, but couldn't squeeze out a single complete word, as if he was too excited to speak.

...He's a god, after all, surely he wouldn't go that far?

Puzzled, Lin Lu picked up Koschke and moved closer, only to see that the black snake's eyes were wide open, its hands were clenched on its collar, and its face was gradually turning purple.

Okay, now I know why...

Boom!

Lin Lu casually tossed the struggling Koschländer onto the floor, turned around, pretending not to see him gasping for air, and shifted her gaze to the girl and the lava giant who were once again frozen in place. Her tone of voice became dangerous.

"I was saying... when I was down there just now, wasn't that you who flew in from the sky?"

Stab it!

Thunder roared out of nowhere in the room, and a red lightning blade, more than three meters long, condensed and took shape amidst flashes of lightning. It gathered but did not fall, pointing at the girl who was like a puppet.

“I am Surtr.”

A glimmer of light seemed to flash in the girl's lifeless eyes, and her speech became much clearer.

“Leivatin…”

A blazing pillar of fire rose from beneath her feet, spiraling upwards, breaking through all obstacles at the top, and piercing directly through the rooftop. Through the huge hole created by the fire, the azure sky was clearly visible.

Behind her, the lava giant, which was originally more than two meters tall, expanded and grew to a height of more than four meters. With a slight movement, it turned the surrounding area into a fiery wasteland, and the wall of another private room was melted by the high temperature.

However, the feet, which should not have been able to withstand such temperatures, were completely undamaged during the eruption of flames.

"Levatin!"

The girl suddenly shouted, and the swollen lava giant swung the greatsword it was holding. The flaming sword, which was too big for ordinary people, was just right in its hand and looked like a one-handed sword.

One strike, a sweeping victory.

Where the orange-red blade swept across, it left marks of varying depths in the air, exuding a powerful aura, as if countless flames were compressed into the narrow blade.

"Oh ho, should I say something like, 'With this raging fire, nothing can be cut down'?"

In this situation, saying this was perfectly appropriate. Lin Lu couldn't remember where she had heard it from, but it sounded natural, so she just used it on the spot.

Of course, his hands weren't idle while he was speaking. The three-meter-long Prayer Lance Sanx Blade was no less imposing than the longsword in the hands of the fire giant, and perhaps even more so.

Flames roared, thunder hissed.

In mid-air, fire and lightning collided and intertwined, locked in a fierce battle, stalemate in mid-air, annihilating everything around them into fine ashes, which disappeared completely in the high temperature before they could disperse.

Chapter Ninety-Five: The Girl's Awkward Moment

"Pah! Selling iced beer at a snow festival!"

He grumbled as he swallowed a mouthful of beer, his penguin face scrunched up, vividly portraying the word 'pain'.

Drinking ice-cold beer in such cold weather, even if it has extraordinary cold resistance, is still a bit uncomfortable. After all, being able to withstand it doesn't mean you don't feel it.

Unfortunately, apart from the fancy ice lanterns, that was all the concert offered that evening; there were no other alcoholic beverages available.

Without good wine, the music festival loses half its meaning for the emperor. He had thought the ice sculptures and lanterns covering the square were somewhat interesting before.

But now... the emperor only felt that these people were making a lot of noise, so he found a flower bed on the edge to sit on and felt more and more like a fool.

"Isn't there still juice?"

Lani, who also disliked being in crowds, stood next to the Emperor, holding a drink with a few ice crystals in her hands.

Her physique was far stronger than the Emperor's, and she genuinely didn't care about such trivial matters. For her, whether it was cold or hot was at most a difference in taste.

Furthermore, the Emperor is wrong about one thing—it wasn't the organizers of the Snow Festival who provided free chilled drinks for everyone; they provided juice and beer that were available for everyone to help themselves, and those things froze on their own without proper insulation. That can't be called stingy.

"I've never been treated like this on any holiday before, you know! I specially wore an AKA limited edition T-shirt today! And these people just don't know its value!"

After taking a large gulp of ice-cold beer indignantly, the Emperor angrily showed Lani his clothes, his tone filled with strong dissatisfaction.

You should know that he even brought his treasured sunglasses from Lungmen and wore a large hip-hop mask, only to find that nobody recognized him when he arrived here!

These Ursus people are as rude as ever!

"Look at them! The world's top hip-hop artists are standing right here! And not a single person has come up to ask for an autograph! My God!"

He downed the ice-cold beer in one gulp, the chilling sensation making the emperor shiver involuntarily. He flapped his short penguin wings, heartbroken.

"This place is an art wasteland! They simply don't know how to appreciate real art! I don't want to stay here for even a second longer!"

"No way, at least they released limited edition penguin plush toys?"

Melina turned around from the side and raised her palm to show the Emperor her prize from the ice lantern concert—a palm-sized pendant that looked somewhat similar to the Emperor's, but was rounder.

"Oh my God!"

Upon seeing the doll hanging on Melina's finger, the Emperor covered his head with his wings and let out an indescribable penguin scream. The neon lights of the ice lamps not far away shone on his face, making it seem as if his complexion was changing between blue and purple.

"They actually released my dolls, but no one has ever come to talk to me about licensing!"

"And most, most, most, most important thing! They made me so fat!"

"This is a provocation! It's a desecration of art!"

The penguin hopped around in the square, attracting the attention of many people, but as the emperor said, most of the tourists passing by only glanced at it and then paid no more attention, as if no one really knew him.

The emperor became even angrier. He sat down angrily on the edge of the flower bed, his short wings pointing to the sky. If wings were human fingers, then it would be the gesture of the middle finger.

"This so-called ice and snow festival is nothing but a terrible show that just serves ice-cold beer in the snow and has no artistic atmosphere whatsoever. They're just like people wandering around a market! I can't accept it!"

"Look at these people! I curse the organizers here! I curse them to eat without utensils, I curse them to be hit on the head by a meteorite soon!"

call out--!

As soon as the words were spoken, a streak of crimson fire suddenly swept across from another layer of the sky, grazing the top of the venue at high speed. The heat of the burning flames was so intense that even just brushing past them caused the ice sculptures below to melt.

Boom!

Finally, a muffled thud seemed to erupt in the far distance, but nothing else particularly noticeable happened.

After a brief moment of surprise, the crowd returned to normal, and everyone assumed that what had just happened was a special performance prepared by the organizers, with hardly anyone paying any attention.

However, those who think this way obviously do not include the security personnel at the venue, but also some people who are quite capable themselves.

The emperor raised his wings, and the entire penguin was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to come to his senses and smack his lips.

"...Is my curse really that effective?"

"No, I don't think it has anything to do with you."

Lani calmly looked up and glanced at the scene, then continued sipping her juice and watching the ice lantern show in the distance.

There are no such performances at the border, nor at Longmen. She found the performance, which might be a bit boring for ordinary people, quite interesting.

"I sensed Lin Lu's presence. It must have been that thing that was interfering. If that's the case, it should be over soon."

Although it was a guess, Lani's tone showed no uncertainty, as if she were stating a given fact.

In her mind, there was never anything that Lin Lu couldn't do or handle, so they just needed to wait and didn't need to worry.

"I sensed a different atmosphere."

Looking up at the sky where there were still some traces of the past, the Emperor stopped joking around and, after a moment of contemplation, looked up and said, "Perhaps we should go over there and take a look? That thing is probably a fragment left behind by some god. These kinds of things are usually very troublesome and difficult to deal with."

"God?"

Lani raised her eyelids slightly but didn't say anything.

Melina glanced in that direction and nodded, saying, "We should definitely go check that out, but what about Xiao Chen..."

"The Wei family's little girl?"

The Emperor patted his belly, flapped his wings, and looked at Lani: "She's such a big person, how could she get lost? Anyway, this place is only so big, as long as you want, you can find her no matter where she runs, right?"

He knew all too well how terrifying this seemingly quiet girl holding a juice box was. To put it bluntly, even if you included the entire city of St. Petersburg, from civilians to soldiers, and even the mobile city beneath their feet, they might not be a match for her.

A powerful figure who can change the heavens with a wave of her hand, even reverse the sun and moon, can do whatever she wants in any country in this world, and no one can do anything to her.

A mere mobile city is nothing more than a toy in the palm of your hand; finding someone there won't be much of a challenge.

"Of course, if you don't want to go, then we—"

Of course, you have to use different ways to talk to different people. The Emperor can speak freely in front of Lin Lu, but he is not so familiar with Lani. Seeing that Lani did not move and seemed to be reluctant to go, he quickly added a sentence.

"No, it's not."
