Man on the ark, forced to become king

As I said before, since they can't even truly descend into this world, what's the point of talking about anything else? The more we talk, the more we highlight their weakness.

Instead of worrying about the threat from these Outer Gods, we should explore the world of Terra itself.

A world capable of keeping both supreme wills and outer gods out must possess power of equal caliber; the waters of this world run deep.

"destroy!"

"Destroy NM!"

With a kick, Lin Lu sent the large, menacing eyes flying. She then used ice magic to freeze the thing, casually conjured a small wisp of black and white hunting god flames, enveloping the mountain demon's corpse until it was completely burned to ashes before turning and leaving.

Such a large eyeball, and it even houses a fragment of the Flame God. It would be a waste to just crush it. It would be better to take it back and feed it to the Golden Tree.

It just so happens that the plan to plant a golden tree seed in Sherag is already on the agenda, and this eye will be perfect as fertilizer.

After planting the golden tree seeds, he went to the northern border of Ursus to see what was going on with the giant serpent, whether it had fallen outside of civilization and mingled with demonic creatures.

Shouldn't we destroy him? Destroy his golden tree?

No need to look for him, he'll come to us himself. Let's see what methods these defeated underlings will use to destroy him.

Then... it's time to accelerate the growth of the Golden Tree.

Unbeknownst to many, the Golden Tree has also occupied a considerable amount of territory in this world, including Syracuse, Kazdel, Kerrigan, and Ursus, and is currently cooperating with the Yan Kingdom.

But that's not enough. To make the Golden Tree grow quickly, it needs more resources, more fresh blood, and to cultivate more strong individuals.

Other countries, such as Colombia and Victoria, are trying to get involved.

Contact with countries like Lateran and Agor, which may hold some of the world's secrets, should also be put on the agenda.

Chapter 114 Surtr Awakens

"Um...who am I?"

Her fiery red hair was casually draped over the blanket. It seemed that the movement of getting up had pressed down on her hair, and the girl frowned slightly, instinctively changing her posture.

"I am... Surtr?"

Her mind was a mess, as if it had been stuffed with hundreds of fragments, scattered and fragmented. In the end, the girl could only recall her own name and scattered pieces of common sense.

She subconsciously touched the ground around her, and only felt relieved after touching warm metal before looking around.

Is this... the summit of some mountain?

A vast expanse of lush greenery stretches downwards, birds flit about in the distant mountains and forests, and herbivorous animals roam the grasslands—a scene of perfect harmony.

Looking up, the warm sun hangs high in the sky, with fluffy white clouds and a clear blue sky; it's like a painting.

Turning my head again, I saw a slightly immature girl, her hands tightly gripping the hilt of the sword hanging at her waist, looking at me nervously, as if she was ready to draw her sword at any moment.

"Hello?"

Surtr paused, managing to squeeze out two words, his mouth terribly dry.

"call……"

Chen lowered his hand from the sword hilt and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, they can communicate normally and even greet each other, so it seems they have returned to normal.

During this time, she knocked the man unconscious several times, finally freeing herself from having to do it again.

"Hello, how are you... feeling? Is there anything bothering you?"

As he spoke, Chen raised his right hand and then put it behind his back.

For some reason, when Surtr saw that hand, he felt some vague fragments of memory flash before his eyes, and his neck throbbed with pain.

I have a feeling that she was hit on the neck many times by that hand.

It must be an illusion, right?

With that thought in mind, Surtr pursed her lips, looked around, and asked softly, "I don't feel unwell. Where am I?"

"This is Sister Xi's painted world. You've been sleeping for several days now."

A deep sleep, or perhaps that counts as sleep?

The use of such a crude method made Chen somewhat uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Do you remember what happened before you came here?"

"A world within a painting?"

This was a completely unfamiliar word, and Surtr couldn't recall any memory of it at all.

She pondered the word, her thoughts following Chen's painting.

What happened before I came here? What happened before?

A sharp pain shot through my brain, and hazy memories surfaced from scattered fragments.

Before that... she seemed to be walking on the ice field with Levadin?

No... is it a desert? Or a forest?

Then what happened?

She... suddenly piloted the Levadin into the city and even got into a fight with someone?

The deeper you think, the more blurred your memory becomes. Many fragments piece together to form absurd memories that are completely impossible to connect.

Despite the throbbing pain in her head, she slowly shook her head: "I think I got into a fight with someone, but I can't remember anything else."

"Ah? Why is that?"

Chen was stunned.

This, isn't this right?

Why is it different from what we agreed on?

That penguin said something about fusion or something, and that this person would wake up and return to normal soon. How is this normal? It's completely amnesia!

"Sister Xi! Sister Xi!"

Not knowing how to handle the situation, Chen simply started shouting at the sky, knowing that Xi would definitely be able to hear her.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, dark clouds rose up beside her, and Xi's figure appeared out of thin air, carrying a bag of unfinished potato chips.

"Huh? You're awake?"

Xi spotted the girl sitting there blankly at a glance. After a slight hesitation, she walked over and waved her hand in front of her.

"how are you feeling?"

"It's alright, it's just my memories... I can't remember them."

Surtr looked bewildered, but showed no sign of being on guard.

Subconsciously, she felt that the two people in front of her meant no harm, and having lost her memories of the past, she chose to follow her instincts.

"Amnesia? That makes sense too."

Xi nodded, not too surprised.

This is just one of many possibilities.

Being chosen by a fragment of a god and having one's consciousness merge sounds simple, but in reality, it's not that easy.

How vast is the memory of God? How weak is the consciousness of man?

Even if this fragment has become an inanimate object, devoid of divine will, it is still not something an ordinary human could easily control.

Under such a massive surge of memories, if one cannot withstand it, memory confusion and amnesia are possible.

However, as long as the person is awake and behaving normally, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"If you're awake, then come out with me."

As she said this, without waiting for Surtr and Chen to reply, Xi Su lightly raised her hand, and a hazy blackness enveloped the two of them.

-------------------------------------

"Can't you come and help?"

In the courtyard, Nian was holding a handful of chili peppers when he saw Xi suddenly appear beside him. He immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded her angrily.

"All you do is snack! Are you planning to eat dinner?"

"Rude."

Xi glanced at her, took two steps back, reached out and pulled, and two voices, intertwined with ink, were pulled out of thin air.

"Hey? Xiao Chen? And... she's awake."

She casually placed the chili peppers on the table, not bothering to argue with Xi about her rudeness. After all, such verbal exchanges had happened countless times before, and she was used to it.

"You are?"

Surtr, gripping his fiery red two-handed greatsword, suddenly shuddered and clutched the sword to his chest.

There were many people in the courtyard. She looked at them one by one and instinctively felt that they were all dangerous. She couldn't help but want to back away, but before she could back away, Nian grabbed her wrist.

"Sister Nian, she has amnesia. She can't remember anything from before, and she only remembers a little bit about fighting with the teacher."

"Amnesia?"
