Man on the ark, forced to become king

In fact, even she couldn't help but sigh.

The more you come into contact with the golden tree, the deeper your understanding of it becomes, and the more you can feel how terrifying it is.

The physical modification of Skadi was not a normal treatment. Instead, it was a fusion of the bloodlines of Haizi and Agor, two completely different species, retaining their advantages and removing their disadvantages. The result would be a completely new individual that had never existed in the world before.

Create life.

This is God's authority.

Not the giant beasts that walk on the earth, but the power of the Creator from a far more distant history and legend.

Legend has it that in the distant past, the creators created life on this land, which is the origin of the current Terran civilization.

Others might think this is just a legend, but Kal'tsit knows that the Creator is real.

However, in the process of destruction and rebirth, she lost much of her power and memories, and could no longer fully recall that initial memory.

However, this does not prevent her from remembering the existence of the 'Creator' itself, and from remembering that life on this earth was not naturally formed.

Now, the Golden Tree has regained its former glory from ancient times.

It is neither an inferior blood demon or a creation of witchcraft, nor an unstable entity forcibly fused like a chimera.

The Golden Tree will create a flawless life, just like all the other creatures on Earth.

From that time on, this land gained another race, even if this race consisted of only one person.

"There's nothing surprising about it. In another world, in the history I know, the golden tree was the cradle of life, the origin of all things."

Lin Lu saw the surprise in Kal'tsit's eyes and shook her head slightly.

The furnace of life exists precisely to create life.

Furthermore, this is not the true form of the Golden Tree. Upon reaching the next stage, the Golden Tree will become the true center of this world, and the new Golden Tree Laws will replace the original rules of this world.

Only when he reaches that point will what he hopes for truly be revealed.

"Once Skadi recovers, you can all head to Iberia together. She also wants to go there to find her comrades."

Skadi had a small goal beforehand—she wanted to find her comrades who had survived the war and prevent them from returning to Agor to die in vain.

Therefore, she is definitely going to Iberia, which is currently the region most severely affected by the sea monsters on land, and is also the country closest to Agor. If the other deep-sea hunters come to land, they will inevitably have to go there.

In that case, rather than having Kal'tsit and Warfarin act alone, it would be better to have the three of them team up.

Skadi is simple-minded, single-minded, and doesn't think much; to put it bluntly, she's a bit of a simpleton and needs someone to help her think.

The situation in Iberia is likely complicated. While Kal'tsit and Warfarin are strong, they are only relatively strong compared to ordinary people. If they were to encounter a large number of Sea Heirs, they might not be able to handle it. In that case, Skadi's strength could guarantee their safety.

One lacks brains, the other lacks physical strength; they complement each other perfectly.

“Agor, ha… she and her race amuse me. Weakness is never an obstacle to survival; arrogance is.”

Kal'tsit's cat ears twitched slightly, she exhaled, and nodded.

"You can make the arrangements. Hopefully, she won't cause any trouble for our operation."

"That depends on how you do it. Don't tell me you can't even control a simple-minded hunter."

Lin Lu glanced at her, her expression subtle.

He really wanted to say that if trouble really comes, it's not necessarily someone's fault.

Compared to Skadi, who is simple-minded and physically strong, Kal'tsit is obviously much more likely to cause trouble, and the trouble she causes is also much greater. This girl seems to have a very strange constitution, and wherever she goes, she will be visited by unexpected events. Even when she goes out to pick up Warfarin, she can encounter a god who has suddenly revived.

Few in the Golden Tree can match her luck.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Noticing the look in Lin Lu's eyes, Kal'tsit took a deep breath and felt her fist harden.

There aren't many people in this world who can evoke strong emotions in her, and Lin Lu happens to be one of them. This guy has a terrible personality and is incredibly powerful. You can't beat him in a fight, and you can't win an argument with him. He's really infuriating.

...And he always likes to intentionally or unintentionally disgust her!

"No, it's nothing, I was just thinking about what to eat for breakfast."

Lin Lu vehemently denied it. Although he had indeed thought of some very impolite things, he couldn't just admit it directly, could he?

She's a veteran, after all; let's give her some face, lest the old cat get angry and pounce on us.

"You can go to the cafeteria now and wait. I don't provide breakfast here!"

Kal'tsit's thin chest heaved a few times as she coldly picked up a document, adopting a gesture of dismissal. If she could, she didn't want to see that hateful face at all right now!

Every time I see this guy, it's never a good thing. There's always some random work that gets dumped on her. Like this time, she was sent to Iberia. Who wants to go to a place like that?!

"Don't be so cold. You'll never have any friends if you keep acting like this, although you never really had any to begin with... Okay, I won't say anything more."

Noticing that Kal'tsit's expression had grown even colder, Lin Lu wisely chose to shut up, casually putting the comic back on the bookshelf and changing the subject.

"Speaking of which, how's Huang doing lately? I heard she's learned a lot from the old man in the Tower of Babel and has started trying to go out on missions on her own more often?"

Lin Lu still paid some attention to the promising young girl chosen by the Golden Tree.

After all, he is a promising talent who has the potential to grow to the level of a Crucible Knight, and we cannot let him go to waste.

Although she doesn't have Talulah's powerful Drak bloodline, nor Chen's family heritage that allowed her to learn advanced swordsmanship from a young age, her will is extremely strong, she can endure hardship, and she is willing to seize every opportunity to improve herself, which are all very good qualities.

For the Golden Tree, bloodline and lineage are unimportant; those things can be made up for later. Only unwavering willpower is the decisive factor in becoming a strong person.

This is evident in Chen and Talulah.

"She studied with ACE for a while, and a few days ago she took on a mission to wipe out an underground cult. However, that mission has undergone changes, possibly related to the Blood Demon and the resurgence of the gods, and was taken over by W."

Kal'tsit is not a computer with superhuman computing power, so it's impossible for her to remember the specific details of every member of the Golden Tree.

However, Huang had just recently seen the mission she received, and because it might involve deities, she remembered it quite well. This also gave her a better impression of Huang, this hardworking girl, and she recalled it without much thought.

"The gods are reviving...tsk, losers of the old era."

This is the word I've been hearing the most lately, and Lin Lu is getting a little annoyed with it. He really can't stand those things that should have been eliminated by the times long ago.

As Kal'tsit said, weakness is never an obstacle to survival; arrogance is.

Over thousands of years, humanity, once weak, has developed a sophisticated industrial system, created various powerful weapons, and gained the ability to fight against giant beasts.

What about the gods?

They are still the same as before, and most of them are even weaker than before after waking up from their slumber.

They remained arrogant, disdainful of everything, inflexible, believing themselves to be the rulers of the world, and failing to see the true situation.

In the language of Yan, this is a path to certain death.

"Let them make a fuss for a while, anyway they'll all end up as fertilizer for the golden tree."

The dregs of the old era will only become nourishment for the new era. Their fate was already sealed, and Lin Lu was too lazy to argue with a group of people who were about to die.

He waved casually and strolled out of the office, intending to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Under the giant golden tree, the boundary between day and night was not clear, and even time seemed to have lost much of its meaning. However, the body's basic needs still existed. After looking at intelligence data all day, he was a little tired and needed to eat something.

In fact, most people will be in the cafeteria in the morning, whether they have just woken up or have not slept at all, they always need to fill their stomachs - except for abnormal creatures like Kal'tsit, who can live on the photosynthesis of the golden tree, which is really amazing, even Melina would be ashamed of herself.

"The losers of the old era, fertilizer."

Kal'tsit leaned back in her chair, repeated softly, then smiled and began reading the document in her hand.

This sounds like another kind of arrogance, the arrogance of regarding those giant beasts revered as gods as weeds.

However, the king of the new era has the right to say this, and only he has the right to say this.

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

"This is... the Golden Tree."

Lin Guang looked up at the enormous golden tree that almost filled most of his field of vision, its canopy replacing the sky, and murmured to himself.

Her body seemed to instinctively and greedily draw unseen nutrients from the air. She could feel herself being immersed in an ocean composed entirely of rich life force. With each breath, her physique naturally grew stronger, though very faintly, so faintly that it was almost imperceptible, but it was definitely there.

If the fairyland in fairy tales really existed, it would probably look like this, right?

Living in such a place, even without doing anything, you can gradually become stronger just by breathing. It's simply unimaginable.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and experienced it firsthand, I would never have believed that such a place could exist in the world.

She suddenly realized that Huang's incredible descriptions might not actually be unfounded.

She seemed to have struck it lucky without even realizing it, and joined an extraordinary organization.

The Golden Tree was not at all what she had imagined; it was not an affiliated organization with deep ties to the Kazdel Royal Court.

This place can be described as a divine kingdom on earth, a wondrous land that only exists in mythology.

Living in such an environment year after year, if the people here were to go out, they would probably be much stronger than people from outside by nature. How could such an organization be weak?

Based on this, it seems less unacceptable that a powerful individual capable of single-handedly defeating a land-based warship, or even confronting a mobile city.

Huang said that the woman named W was many times stronger than the two of them combined, and had the ability to wipe out a mercenary group single-handedly.

Based on their strength, the mercenary groups described should be comparable to the Knights of Kazimierz.

In other words, W is a powerful individual capable of single-handedly rivaling the Knights.

Such a person is extremely rare, even in the entire Kazimierz region.

Do champions of the so-called Knights Arena possess that kind of power?
