Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights
Page 212
“That’s true, my saintess is quite powerful.” Yela said with some pride.
As they spoke, the two arrived at the shrine.
This was Yera's residence, of course, when she was a god. Now she has been disguised as the head lady-in-waiting, so this place has been idle for a long time.
“It’s more convenient to talk here, but I don’t have anything nice to offer you.” Yera sat down on a stone chair nearby.
"It's alright, it's fine to be casual." Bai Ye sat down opposite her.
At this moment, the formal meeting between the two has just begun.
“To be honest, I’m quite surprised. It turns out there are other people of my kind outside of the Snow Realm… Hmm, are you really one of my kind?” Yera looked at Bai Ye with some curiosity.
Bai Ye snapped his fingers, and a wisp of air appeared at his fingertips.
Then, he slowly spoke, "Actually, I also really want to talk to you about this topic. Gods of the Snow Realm, please answer my questions. What am I, really?"
However, Yela couldn't give Bai Ye an answer. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I can't answer your question."
"Let me first talk about what I think of myself, or rather, what Jeragand is."
“When I was born, I thought there was only this snow mountain and the people living on this snowfield in the world, so I naturally felt close to them. I have never left Shelag. All I know is this land of Shelag, and all I know are the people living on this land.”
“I am a being born of Kjerag. I represent what happened in the past, but I do not know what is happening now or what will happen in the future. The future of Kjerag has never been in my hands, nor should it be.”
As she spoke, Yela stood up and looked at Bai Ye: "So, my kin, what do you think you represent? Actually, the answer is very simple. You don't need to worry about your identity. Don't care what you are. The key is what you want to do."
Yera paused, then continued, "Even I am searching for my own meaning. Why was I born on this land? If protecting Kjerag is not my mission, then what is the meaning of my life? I want to find the answer to this."
Chapter Ninety-One: Ability Enhancement
Bai Ye was slightly disappointed.
Originally, he wanted to learn some information about gods, giant beasts, and even the Beast King from Yera.
Unexpectedly, Yeragand was considered a junior among the gods, a particularly young one. She herself didn't even know what she was, and therefore couldn't answer Bai Ye's question.
"So, can you tell that my abilities are of the same type as yours?"
Bai Ye asked a second question.
Speaking of her abilities, Yela was also a little excited: "I've never competed in strength with anyone of my kind before..."
"The most important aspect of my power is blizzards. My saintess, having taken up my holy bell, can also summon blizzards, though not on the same scale as mine."
"Could you let me experience it?" Bai Ye asked.
"Huh? Are you sure? It's extremely, extremely, extremely cold, you know." Yela was a little surprised.
Bai Ye nodded, indicating that she had no problem.
"Okay, but if you feel anything is wrong, you have to tell me." Yera led Bai Ye outside.
She gestured for Bai Ye to get ready, then raised her hand.
As this action occurred, Bai Ye clearly saw strange animals begin to float around the girl's body.
Suddenly, dark clouds appeared in the sky, shrouding the snow-capped mountains as if the entire sky were about to fall.
The surrounding temperature began to drop rapidly, and large snowflakes fell on Bai Ye's shoulders.
Bai Ye closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in the surrounding airflow and atmosphere.
The air around his body also began to slowly swirl.
The snowflakes around Bai Ye's body did not fall to the ground, but instead hovered in mid-air, slowly swirling around him.
“It’s just like my ability…” Yela’s eyes lit up.
This feeling is correct; it is indeed different from the spells that outsiders call "Originium Arts".
“However, it seems I still can’t do that… change the weather in an instant or something…” Bai Ye felt that his use of innate magic was probably weaker than that of the person in front of him.
However, Yera shook her head: "No, I feel... you should be able to do it too, but the way you use your abilities seems a bit too crude."
"You can try a different approach. Don't try to control the entire weather; that's too exhausting. You can try to influence the whole by manipulating a small part first."
Bai Ye suddenly realized.
Yela's words woke him up.
Previously, his use of his innate magical abilities was mostly limited to manipulating a specific area of air. However, he overlooked the impact of localized changes in airflow on the overall system.
Weather changes are essentially changes in airflow and temperature. The White Night can rapidly lower the temperature by compressing air, thus possessing the ability to alter the weather.
No, it's even simpler. Bai Ye doesn't need to study the principles and personally perform the techniques like with Originium Arts. For example, Saria's calcification spell—the principles alone could fill several large books.
His ability is more idealistic; as long as he feels he can do it, then he can do it, without needing to understand the principles or comprehend them.
For example, Bai Ye can control a piece of gas to expand and explode, but he doesn't understand the principle at all. He just thinks it that way and then he does it.
Now, Bai Ye raised his hand, closed his eyes and carefully felt for a while, then gently snapped his fingers.
After a while, the blizzard in the air stopped.
The snowflakes hovering beside him fell silently to the ground, and the dark clouds in the sky instantly dissipated.
The wind and snow stopped, and the sun came out after the clouds cleared.
Just like the scene before him, Bai Ye felt a sudden sense of clarity.
As expected, my abilities are different from Originium Arts. If I simply develop them in the direction of Originium Arts, I may not be able to unleash the full potential of my abilities.
"Thank you, Yela." Bai Ye opened his eyes, turned around, and thanked the girl in front of him.
Yera smiled and shook her head: "I only gave you a little inspiration, but why do I feel that your abilities and status are higher than mine?"
"Is that so?" Bai Ye asked, somewhat curious.
Yera nodded: "Our abilities are similar in nature, but if we use them at the same time, I cannot compete with you. My control over the blizzard in this area is not as good as yours."
There are also differences in power and authority.
A stream of information suddenly flashed through Bai Ye's mind, like a beam of light piercing the night sky. His vision suddenly went completely black, leaving only a strange pattern floating in front of him.
It was a strangely shaped cube, on which regular tetrahedrons, regular octahedrons, regular icosahedrons, and cubes flashed and lit up in turn. In the end, only the regular octahedron remained in Bai Ye's mind.
"What is this..." Bai Ye was about to concentrate and see clearly, but the pattern suddenly became blurry.
"Bai Ye, are you alright?"
Just then, Yela's voice rang out from outside, pulling Bai Ye's mind out of this unusual scene.
Bai Ye opened his eyes and saw Yela looking at him with some curiosity.
"What happened to me just now?" Bai Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.
Yela shook her head: "I don't know, you suddenly stopped moving and stood there blankly for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye opened his terminal. He was surprised to find that what he thought was a short moment of distraction had actually taken at least ten minutes to pass in reality.
No wonder Yela was worried about him.
"I'm all right."
Bai Ye memorized the pattern he had seen in his hallucination.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Yera seemed quite pleased, as it was rare to see someone similar to herself, and Bai Ye was still quite inexperienced, even younger than her. This made her feel like she had gained a junior.
Bai Ye nodded and pointed to his right arm: "Do you have any suggestions about this?"
In the right hand of the White Night, the spirit of Isamara is imprisoned.
Yela leaned closer to Bai Ye's right hand and looked at it, then shook her head: "Those in the deep sea are similar to us, but they are not of our kind... Perhaps you can go to the deep sea and find their origin and answers."
However, she continued, "I advise you not to act rashly. Once activated, it can release a signal pulse large enough to cover the entire land... At that time, the deep sea will probably boil as well."
"How do you know all this?" Bai Ye asked curiously. This guy had been staying in the Snow Realm all along, and didn't even know much about the other gods and giant beasts. How come he was so familiar with the newborn in the deep sea?
Chapter Ninety-Two: The Corrupted Heart
“In the past, I knew nothing about the outside world. However, as the little guy from the Shivaish family established channels to the outside world, I gradually began to understand it.”
Yera explained, then slowly said, "The first place I learned about was Kazimierz, which is relatively close to us, and it has legends about the sea. Through some channels, I gradually learned some things about the deep sea."
Then, she looked at Bai Ye's arm, her expression somewhat complicated: "Besides that, when I saw Him, my intuition was also telling me some information. Didn't you receive it?"
“No, maybe. I’m not pure enough to receive this kind of information flow…” Bai Ye shook his head.
He was glad he hadn't acted rashly. If Yera was right, then once activated, a neural signal large enough to sweep across the entire continent would be emitted from White Night, reaching all the sea creatures and newborns in the deep sea. Then the Great Tranquility that would destroy Iberia would once again be unleashed from the deep sea.
"So it really is a ticking time bomb..." Bai Ye looked at his arm with some distress.
“If we activate our abilities together, we can probably block out some of the signals and allow you to awaken part of your right-hand ability. However, I am still too weak to awaken it all at once,” Yera offered her proposal.
Bai Ye's eyes lit up. This was a good idea; it was better to guide than to block. Rather than having his "newborn" Isamara awakened all at once by some external stimulus, it was better to take it slow.
"I'm not entirely confident either, it would be bad if I messed it up..." Yera said this, but her actions were anything but hesitant.
She reached out her hand and summoned strange planktonic creatures.
Bai Ye also took out the scabbard of his "Arc Light" sword and activated the spellcasting unit on it.
Together, the two summoned a blizzard, and dark, gloomy clouds once again shrouded the summit of Mount Kalan. It remains to be seen how much confusion their actions will bring to the people of the snowy realm.
The elders of Manjushri Temple will probably offer a religious explanation for this unusual climate.
However, none of this has anything to do with Bai Ye and Yela now. One of them is a behemoth incarnation, but he is very young and inexperienced, while the other wields a half-baked wind power. Although they are equally incompetent, the two half-baked individuals combined can still manage to shield a newly born spiritual entity from the sea.
Moreover, they did not intend to fully awaken it, but rather to activate a portion of it first.
"Are you ready?!" Yera became inexplicably excited. Clearly, she hadn't encountered something so interesting and exciting in a long time.
Bai Ye nodded and created an air shield that enveloped the entire room.
Then Ye stretched out his finger and touched Bai Ye's arm.
A chill crept into Bai Ye's body along his arm.
Suddenly, salty seawater seeped from the floor of the room.
At the same time, Bai Ye's arm began to tremble slightly, and strange azure patterns gradually appeared on her skin, emitting a faint glow.
Bai Ye seemed to sense that an independent consciousness was about to awaken from his right arm.
Just as everything was about to reach a critical point, suddenly, silver chains appeared out of thin air once again from Bai Ye's arms.
The chains began to tremble, making crisp clanging sounds, as if they were fighting against something.
Finally, both the chains and the arms fell silent.
"What is this?" Yela looked curiously at the silver chains on Bai Ye's arm that were gradually disappearing. "It seems I was wrong. Even if it is activated, this thing can still control Him."
Bai Ye could almost see a white, golden-striped, deep-sea behemoth, neither snake nor dragon, tightly bound by silver chains. The next moment, the sea dragon transformed back into Skadi, also bound.
"The original body and the avatar..."
Just as Bai Ye was about to speak, he suddenly groaned as he clutched his right arm and squatted down.
"What's wrong?" Yela looked at Bai Ye, who had suddenly become abnormal, with some helplessness.
"I'm fine, it's just... my arm is so itchy," Bai Ye replied through gritted teeth.
He felt something strange moving around inside his arm.
Bai Ye sat down on a stone chair and opened the game system panel.
In the talent section of the attribute panel, Bai Ye found the talent [Divine Possession].
This is the talent that appeared on Bai Ye's attribute panel after he sealed the newborn Isamara into his right arm.
Now, Bai Ye can see more information from the panel.
Talent: [Divine Possession]
