Those who reincarnate must die.

By completing tasks, Zhang Lang accumulated a lot of merit in the Broken Sword and exchanged it for four more storage cards, giving him a total of seven cards now.

Just as Zhang Lang was figuring out how to make good use of these items, Badge sent a new mission notification.

Xu was still asleep. He used to be the one reminding him to do the missions... Without that cheeky voice, Zhang Lang was really not used to it.

After receiving the notification, Zhang Lang packed his things and then chose to teleport.

As the flames burned, he returned to the familiar altar number twelve.

Apart from Le Xinyi and Ye Peng, everyone else hadn't seen Zhang Lang for over a month, and they all looked a little different now...

The changes in appearance are not significant; the real difference comes from one's mental state.

The previous Altar No. 12 was a bit dejected because they had just emerged from a wipeout, especially Old Mo, who always had a long face and kept reminiscing about the team's past glories.

Influenced by them, the newlyweds also lacked confidence and felt hopeless about their future, especially when facing other powerful altars. They always felt inferior and even secretly complained about how they were chosen by such an altar...

However, after the last big distribution of spoils, everyone felt like they had suddenly become rich, and their hopes and dreams for the future were rekindled. Especially when they saw Zhang Lang, their smiles radiated confidence and genuine respect.

Different mindsets can be seen in small details. Charles got a haircut and looked much more refreshed; Lao Mo changed into a set of clothes in a brighter color; Lu Ren's belt was shiny gold, seemingly brand new; even Thunder's armor had two cute panda stickers on it...

Does this guy like small animals? That doesn't fit the tough, gritty image of a mecha warrior...

Incidentally, Thunder always teleports in and out while wearing armor, and even the old man at the altar has never seen his true face. In a sense, Thunder should be the most mysterious existence in this altar.

It's not unusual for a power armor that can be brought back to reality, but I wonder where such a big thing is usually kept. I've never seen him turn the armor into a card. Is this guy very rich, like having a warehouse at home?

Regardless, Zhang Lang has brought hope to the Twelve Altars, and they will only grow stronger in the future, making missions and battlefields less daunting.

Soon, the torch in the center of the altar began to flicker, and everyone looked toward the light screen that issued the mission.

Quest Name: Hell Invasion

Weapon level: Level 4

Background: By chance, during a scientific experiment, humanity discovered the existence of an alternate dimension. This space was desolate and vast, yet possessed inexhaustible energy. Humanity, overjoyed, opened four portals to this alternate dimension around the world and began extensively exploiting its resources.

However, what humans do not know is that this vast world is actually inhabited by life, and by creatures with considerable intelligence and strength, who are monstrous to humans!

谷摪

In fact, this wasn't humanity's first encounter with another dimension. Throughout human history, beings from other dimensions have occasionally descended to Earth, causing terrible chaos. These events were recorded in legends and myths, where these creatures were called demons, and the other dimension from which they originated was referred to as Hell!

Humanity's large-scale activities in Hell have clearly attracted the attention of the demons. However, they are not in a hurry to reveal themselves, but instead allow humanity to continue to penetrate deeper into Hell, making humanity increasingly dependent on Hell's resources, until humanity is completely ensnared and unable to extricate itself—that will be the moment when Hell launches its counterattack on Earth!

Main Quest: Defend Portal Three and prevent demons from entering the human world and causing destruction. The quest lasts for twelve hours. During the quest time, the altar will continuously monitor the casualties of all humanity. If the total number of deaths exceeds one hundred million, the quest will fail.

Side Quest: Slay Titan Trolls. Titan Trolls are the most powerful monsters among demons and heroic figures in the demon army. Slaying Titan Trolls can effectively demoralize the demons and slow their destructive advance.

Mission Rewards: Completing the main quest will earn you a maximum of 1000 points and a minimum of 300 points, depending on the number of human casualties. Killing a Titan troll will earn all participants a total of 5000 points, distributed according to their contribution.

Killing demons will grant you kill rewards.

Mission Mode: Cooperative mission. Four altars (numbers 4, 9, 12, and 13) are available to enter the world; players must cooperate to complete the mission.

Tip: The four portals are thousands of miles apart, and the demon army's offensive is extremely fierce. If even one portal is lost, all the main quests at the altars will fail. Defending your own portal is the greatest help you can give to others!

........................

After seeing the mission description, everyone at the Twelve Altars fell silent.

Judging from the description, this mission is somewhat similar to the last one. Both are set in a world where the human race encounters a more powerful species, facing the risk of extinction. However, the difference is that the disaster in this world has only just begun, while in the previous world, humanity was already driven to the brink of extinction.

"It seems this time should be easier than last time..." Charles analyzed. "This world has more advanced technology, and there should be a well-equipped army to help resist the demons. The mission also has a higher margin for error. Last time, a city with only 80,000 people was wiped out as soon as it was invaded. Moreover, this time we've been given a budget of one hundred million, but only twelve hours. It's practically a KPI set for the demons... And there's no interference from other races, so it should be easy to complete, right?"

"You're too naive..." Old Mo frowned and sighed, "The advantages you mentioned are all true, but if you look closely at the numbers of those altars, the lowest is number thirteen... and there's even a top-tier altar like number four!"

"With so many favorable conditions, the fact that such a powerful reincarnator is still being sent can only mean that the demon we're facing this time is extremely dangerous!"

Thunder, standing to the side, nodded in agreement: "Within the altar, risk is always directly proportional to reward!"

After listening to the elders' analysis, Charles became a little hesitant again. He instinctively glanced at Zhang Lang, and after looking at him from all angles, he felt safer with this powerful backer...

Zhang Lang was also staring at the mission description. He wasn't interested in the conditions or background. Anyway, whether it was a demon or something, he would just go in and slaughter everyone... His focus was on the altars he was participating in the mission with.

The fourth altar, that should be Rowe's altar...

He had even asked Ning Yi to help him find it, but unexpectedly, it came to him on its own. It's like choosing the path to hell when there's one way to heaven...
