People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

What the hell?

No one present understood Ark's point for a moment, but the most important issue right now was the mass production of knight weapons.

"Have the Leithania office report back more frequently, especially paying more attention to the special situation near the Twin Towers."

Near the Twin Towers?

Fang Zhou nodded. He remembered something. If that thing was true, then that old bitch Frémont...

"Back to the point. The first group to be equipped with the Knight System will be Ace and Action Team E3. Huang will also be assigned to Action Team E3 and will be under Ace's command starting today. Logos and Scout, your Knight Systems will be installed tomorrow. We'll give you a week to get used to using the Knight System and your original combat style for squad combat. Then..."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Zhou muttered to himself the Sarkaz control watch that Amiya currently possessed.

Goliath, Balrog, Banshee, Wendigo, Blood Demon, Snow Demon... five of them.

As of now, if everything goes smoothly at Xiumagia, it's time to leave Longmen. There are relatively few Sarkaz in Dayan, and the already rare or dietary subspecies are even rarer, so it's time to get down and start heading to other parts of this land.

But... the Whiplash on Rhodes Island... she must understand that what Amiya and Rhodes Island are doing now may be understandable to other races, but as a Whiplash... it's also true that this kind of thing should have been brought up by us first, but now there is no good reason.

There is also a lich. There is still a little lich on Rhodes Island, but the other party has not completely come out of the psychological trauma yet. If they continue to ask others for the history of their race, even before the Ark does it, they have to think about it and prepare themselves mentally.

As for the remaining Shapeshifters, Scavengers, Gnawers, Stonewings, and Cyclopses, the first two were bound to be more difficult, and the most difficult was obtaining the Shapeshifter control header. Unless, as originally planned, we could first ask the defense instructor, Fu Si, and then have Rhodes Island and Teacher Da Te each take one, but given the current situation, that was impossible.

But where should Rhodes Island go next? Fang Ark originally wanted to go to Iberia. Maybe he could take the Haisi Line and recover the Deep Blue Tree or something.

And there are indeed a few special, almost isolated Sarkaz subspecies on the other side of the sea that Ark and his team need to visit.

"Then?"

Ark stopped talking halfway, which made Logos feel a little uncomfortable.

"My original intention was to have you go to Yinfei Icefield."

Kal'tsit's eyes widened instantly.

Wait, you didn't tell me this!

"In the non-ice field, are you going to find the Cyclops?"

"Well, the Cyclops have been isolated from the world for too long. The Kazdel Military Council must have tried to win them over, but now the situation speaks for itself."

"Then if we go find them, will they come?"

Huang raised his hand like a primary school student and asked a question. Fang Zhou knocked on the table, and the crisp knocking sound echoed in the conference room.

"That's why I let Logos go."

"You really trust me, Doctor."

Feeling the heavy trust on his shoulders, Logos had mixed emotions.

"You, Ace, Scout, and Huang, I will spend some time crafting your knightly weapons. Meanwhile... the situation in Sami is very unique. The dangers there aren't just the lack of supplies and the potential hostility from the Sami people."

"Devil."

Kal'tsit took over the conversation and Logos was silent for a while.

As the current Lord of the Banshee Court, Logos is naturally aware of some secret information. People like Ace, Scout and Huang are not familiar with the topic of the so-called evil demon.

"Simply put, the demon is a cognitive monster. The deeper and more comprehensive your understanding of the demon, the more powerful it becomes. The demon's activities in the real world also produce a collapse paradigm that is almost impossible for humans to escape. The existence of this collapse paradigm is one of the fundamental reasons why humans have not been able to effectively resist the demon."

Fang Zhou and Kal'tsit simply introduced the existence of the evil spirits to the attendees. After all, this kind of evil thing really has the ability to spread itself based on cognition. God knows if Longmen will be contaminated by evil spirits just because of a few words from them.

But the collapsing paradigm...

Even the Ark would be very troubled by that thing. Cognition is powerful, and the collapse paradigm will also tamper with human cognition and rationality. This is simply a natural enemy for intelligent life.

Strictly speaking, Ark, as a Kamen Rider on the technological side, will also feel powerless when facing the demons, because among the many collapse paradigms of the demons, there are several that are simply perfect for restraining artificial intelligence. Without the help of the power of "human evil", Ark can almost only use the method of directly killing the demons with great strength when they first see them, without giving the other party the opportunity to recognize itself, nor giving itself the opportunity to continue to recognize the other party.

"To summarize, the demon is an absolutely dangerous monster. If you head to the Inferior Icefield, there's a high probability you'll encounter lifeforms contaminated by the blood membrane. These are monsters called 'collapsers.' Once you come into close contact with them, it's like coming into close contact with the demon, and there's no turning back."

Fang Zhou knocked on the table.

"So, we now have two plans, and Rhodes Island's future course of action will be based on these two plans. I should also mention in advance that Rhodes Island has two destinations in the coming period. One is to go to the Inferi Ice Field to contact the Cyclops, and the other is to go to Iberia to search for the Sarkaz living in Iberia and the surrounding waters."

Are they all going to look for the Sarkaz?

Everyone present was lost in thought as to why they were so obsessed with finding the Sarkaz tribes. At this stage, except for Huang, who still had some vague understanding, everyone else who was able to attend the meeting understood the reason.

That was Amiya's path to becoming king.

Until now, the final result of all Kamen Rider Zi-O's actions in Longmen is to obtain a Sarkaz-controlling watch. This is now well known to the top leaders of Rhodes Island, and they also understand that this will be the main goal of Rhodes Island in formulating future action plans.

This is what Ark has been doing in Rhodes Island since he came back, and those who trust Ark have no objections. Even after the third-generation Originium blocker came out, those who are obsessed with making Amiya the king no longer have any objections.

At least in the eyes of those people, Rhodes Island is still the Rhodes Island that will rescue the infected and fight for their rights.

"The two plans are how we divide the two teams to go to the southernmost and northernmost parts of this land. One of them is for Amiya, Kal'tsit, and the rest of the Rhodes Island force to go to Iberia, while the non-ice fields will be left to Ace, Scout, Logos, and Huang. Just find the Cyclops.

I will provide you with the most advanced aerial vehicles and various items to ensure your survival, as well as portals and other security features to allow you to return to Rhodes Island at any time."

In fact, as long as there is a portal, Logos and his companions have basically nothing to worry about when they go to Infe Ice Field this time. As long as they notice something wrong, they can immediately open the portal and return to Rhodes Island. They just need to be careful when using it and not bring any dangerous objects back to Rhodes Island.

Of course, the worst case scenario is undoubtedly the kind of dangerous situation where Logos and his team don't even have a chance to use the portal. However, given the configuration of this team: Heavy Operator Ace, Sniper Operator Scout, Warlock Operator Logos, Guard Operator Huang, Ark is even considering whether to select a few more elite operators to form an elite team, and add Ace's action team E3, Scout's sniper team, and Logos' Warlock team to go together.

Ark couldn't think of this kind of configuration at the moment. Unless Cresson showed up directly, Logos and the others wouldn't even have time to try out the portal.

"This is the first option. The other option is for us to swap places. You will follow Rhodes Island to Iberia, while I will go with Kal'tsit..."

"I disagree!"

The door of the conference room was pushed open with a bang. Standing at the door was Amiya with a gloomy face. The little rabbit's eyes were burning with fierce fire as she glared at Fang Zhou.

"I don't agree with the second option!"

Chapter 247: The Demon's Warning

"Well, Miss Amiya, this morning's class ends here. This afternoon, we'll continue with the course on the political system and political thought of Da Yan. Tonight, we'll have the impromptu quiz on strategy and tactics that Master Ark gave you earlier. Please prepare in advance. Next is meal and lunch break time. Do you need me to notify Master Ark?"

After finishing her morning studies, Amiya looked at the teacher-type Humajia in front of her, thought for a moment, and shook her head.

The Doctor should be in a meeting with the elite operators right now, so I'd better not disturb them for now.

However, I am the Leader of Rhodes Island after all, so it should be okay for me to attend the meeting.

Thinking of this, Amiya felt happy inside, and her ears swayed to a happy rhythm.

Since Ark came back and started a series of work, Amiya's own workload has been greatly reduced. The only thing she really needs to participate in personally every day is to listen to Ark and Kal'tsit's performance reports today, that is, what they did today and the direction of Rhodes Island in the future.

If it weren't Ark and Kal'tsit who did these jobs, then Amiya could be said to have been completely sidelined. However, it was precisely because it was Ark and Kal'tsit that Amiya could sit here and study with peace of mind.

Politics, military affairs, history... Almost everything Amiya has learned recently revolves around these three things. Although it is required that Amiya start learning these now, there is no chance to see results in a short period of time, but as a king, she cannot know nothing at all. Fortunately, Kal'tsit laid a foundation for Amiya before, so it is not difficult for her to receive professional education now.

After putting away the book, Amiya stood up and was about to leave, but...

"…Prevent……"

The sudden sound in her ear startled Amiya.

"Who?!"

Her eyes became sharp almost instantly. Amiya looked around the entire classroom but could not find any visible life except herself and the teacher Xumajia.

"Ms. Amiya?"

In the classroom, Xiu Majia looked at Amiya in confusion, not understanding why Amiya, who was fine just now, suddenly became nervous.

"Teacher, can't you hear me?"

Noticing something was wrong, Amiya immediately asked the teacher Shumajia.

"I didn't hear anyone else's voice except me and Miss Amiya. There are only two of us here."

Teacher Xumajia's eyes flashed with blue data streams. She scanned the entire classroom and finally came to the same conclusion as Amiya: there was only her and Amiya here, no third person.

Did I really hear it wrong just now?

Amiya was thinking, but just as she was about to calm down, the voice appeared in her ears again.

"…Prevent……"

Amiya's pupils suddenly shrank, and she was very sure that she had heard it.

Stop... stop what? Stop who?

The voice was intermittent and mixed with a lot of noise. Amiya couldn't hear what the voice was saying at all.

"...Stop...going to...Sa...Hmph!"

It was still intermittent, but Amiya heard more, and in the end, she seemed dissatisfied with the intermittent conversation, and the voice let out a very obvious snort.

Then, before Amiya could react, pieces of broken pictures suddenly flashed before her eyes.

The image was in tatters, a blurry black and white scene. Some parts of the image were even distorted, making it impossible to make out what was inside. However...

That's... Doctor!

What is that? It looks like... a door?

With only a blurry image, Amiya could vaguely see that it should be something like a door. The door was very large, and its round appearance stood on the ground. The height was estimated to be hundreds of meters high.

There was a blue-black vortex spinning in the center of the gate, and something seemed to be about to burst out from it. Although it was just a scene that had nothing to do with her present self, Amiya's intuition told her that if the thing in the door really came out, then the land of Terra would no longer have a future.

But what exactly is that? Amiya doesn't know.

However, the next scene made her pupils suddenly shrink to the size of a needle tip.

It was a first-person perspective shot, and judging from the height of the view, it should be what a person kneeling on the ground would see.

And in that picture was... Doctor? And Dr. Kel'tsit!

Ark and Kal'tsit, but the helmet on Ark's head in the picture is missing, his silver-gray hair looks messy, and he looks a little embarrassed.

At this moment, they were being swallowed by the blue-black vortex inside the door. Half of their bodies had been swallowed inside, and it seemed that they could no longer leave.

"Amiya..."

It was the Doctor's voice.

It seems that the Ark in the picture is speaking.

"Amiya, don't be sad, don't be impulsive, and don't let anger and hatred cloud your mind. You need to walk the path ahead on your own. You will definitely become the... benevolent and kind Demon King you envisioned. And... I'm sorry, Amiya, I'm going to break my promise."

As Fang Zhou spoke in the picture, his body was being swallowed up by the blue-black vortex bit by bit.

And Kal'tsit, who was standing next to the Ark Room, was no longer as cold as usual. She just looked at the person in front of her, Amiya, tenderly.

She seemed to want to say something, but at this time they had been dragged too deep into the whirlpool, and the blue-black whirlpool had already reached their necks.

In the end, Kal'tsit chose to remain silent.

But the self in the picture could only watch Fang Zhou and Kal'tsit disappear in the whirlpool.

Snapped! ! !

"Ms. Amiya? Miss Amiya? Can you hear me? Miss Amiya!"

When the picture disappeared from Amiya's sight, what came into her ears was the teacher Xumajia's urgent shouting.

When she came to her senses, she found herself sitting weakly on the floor, and the teacher Xu Majia next to her was looking at her with concern.

"Ms. Amiya?"

"teacher?"

Amiya spoke weakly, her voice trembling, and the scene she had just seen was rolling in her mind.

What was that? What happened? Why were the Doctor and Kel'tsit sucked into that vortex? What did it mean that I had to walk the rest of the way on my own?

Amiya's pupils kept trembling, and the memories in her mind were churning, finally settling on a Sarkaz woman with long pink hair.

Sister Theresa...

I'm sorry, Amiya.

Until the very last word "I'm sorry", it still echoed in Amiya's mind, constantly echoing, and thinking back, it coincided with the last word "I'm sorry" from Fang Zhou in the previous scene.

"It can't be true...it's just an illusion..."

Amiya murmured, her eyes empty as she slowly stood up. However, the uncontrollable fear in her heart made her legs a little weak. She leaned over slightly and held onto the table next to her to prevent herself from falling.

"Ms. Amiya?"

Teacher Xumajia was a little worried, and then connected his communication system, preparing to send a message to Ark to inform him of Amiya's abnormal condition. However, just as he was about to send the message, Amiya suddenly exploded and pounded the desk in front of her hard. At that moment, golden light appeared on her fists.

The desks shattered instantly, and the books inside were scattered on the ground. The erupting hurricane dumped everything in the classroom onto the ground. The originally tidy classroom became extremely messy in an instant, just like a disaster scene after being swept by a tornado.

As expected, the teacher Xu Majia was thrown against the wall by the wind, slowly slid to the ground, his eyes flickered, and then he went into a state of shutdown.
