I am a reincarnation player.

The players who survived had made a fortune, as they possessed bloodline skills and could upgrade through bloodline items, which was much simpler than the defense force's own training methods.

The key point is that there can only be one bloodline skill under normal circumstances. Do the seniors want to use it?

Yuki actually chose them luxuriously. After obtaining relevant information, the psychic warriors were not adapted to them.

As the name suggests, psychic warriors are warriors who use soul energy, but unlike Yuki who uses it as fuel, warriors trained in this system are more specialized, such as soul force field, telepathic transmission, psychic blades, and physical emptiness.

To put it bluntly, they are a group of high-tech wizards. Soul energy is equivalent to magic power, and the use of "magic power" will have different development directions. Of course, the most basic application is to use energy to penetrate the body in exchange for greater strength, speed and reaction.

"Mage, or Jedi Knight, it's a pity that I can't acquire another bloodline skill." Yuki sighed. He has a lot of "magic power", but lacks the skills to use it, and the efficiency of utilization is too low.

But if you think about it, if you haven't been possessed by a demon, you wouldn't be able to accumulate so much soul energy. It's a philosophical question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

"Forget it. It's not time to be picky yet. Hayasaka and I can't use it, so any improvement others can get will be a plus." Yuuki laughed at himself. Even if the psychic warriors' bloodline wasn't very compatible, the most basic application combined with the player's ability was enough to allow them to enter the extraordinary level.

It is too difficult to survive in this dungeon if you are below the extraordinary level.

The three of them did not object. Psychic warriors have different training directions, so there is no need to worry about the homogenization of skills.

Done. Now I just have to wait for the commander-in-chief to come find me.

Yuki stretched and paced around the room. The flying battleship was flying too smoothly and he could not feel any turbulence.

Before he had taken a few steps, there was a knock on the door. After Yuki opened it, he found that the person who came to see him was not Chris.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

The blond, silver-eyed lady was standing at the door. Yuki noticed that her doll-like face was not only pale, but also had some bulging blood vessels.

"I've been liberated too much. It's hard to recover in a short period of time, but don't worry, I still have more than 60% of my combat power." Denise was still smiling, and her slightly ferocious face suddenly became much calmer.

Over-liberation? That's really dangerous.

Yuki knows the details of these "great swords". They are half-human, half-demon warriors. If they use their power excessively, they will turn into monsters. I remember they are called "awakeners"?

"Liberation? Your bloodline skill?"

"I guess so. Have you heard of Chimera?" The lady shrugged lightly, which made Yuki's eyes tighten, and he immediately understood her background.

The greatsword is fused with the flesh and blood of demons, but this player integrates more flesh and blood of extraordinary monsters into his body, and then releases it in proportion. It is simple and brutal.

"That sounds dangerous." Yuki had no intention of prying into the secret. He lit a cigarette and asked intently, "Is the silver hand reacting?"

Denise has been following this line all the time, using that 'chain' to overcome all communication barriers.

"You're such a good guesser. No wonder the captain thinks so highly of you." The older sister wanted to chat about family matters to get closer, but she didn't expect Yuki to be so uninterested in women. So she dragged over a swivel chair and elegantly crossed her legs.

"Yes, he barely conquered the sea of ​​data and found a lot of information. As you expected, the defense forces have been concealing key issues."

With blonde hair, silver eyes, a pretty face, and that big sword, Denise is very attractive, but Yuki instinctively keeps a distance from her and leans against the wall.

“How bad is the situation?”

"It's worse than you can imagine. I've compiled some data. Take a look for yourself."

Yuki reached out to take it, and after opening it, his brows instantly furrowed. It was the first time he saw the entire Emerald Basin after entering the dungeon for so long.

The Wall of Sighs enveloped the interior, which contained dozens of cities, and the red swarms of insects were densely packed.

Edge, interior, sky, ground.

The swarm of insects is invading from all directions and has evolved at least three ways to bypass the Wall of Sighs, and the wormhole is just one of them.

Swarms of bat dragons flew in from all corners, carrying spores in parabolic trajectories. No wonder there were not many air forces of the defense army. They were already exhausted from intercepting the swarm of insects, so how could they have time to support Ma Run on the ground?

A multifaceted, three-dimensional, and never-ending battle. Over a dozen pilots die suddenly each month from overdoses of stimulants...

Yuki's eyes twitched. The series of casualty statistics irritated his nerves. He had no interest in the topic of war and life, but even a fool could understand the result:

"They can't hold on any longer. Any problem will cause a global collapse."

Blocking the wormholes was a struggle, so could other attacks be ignored? If a bat dragon cleared an area, the spore carriers it dropped would quickly send a swarm of thousands of insects scurrying around like fleas. How many troops would be needed to chase them down?

Continue to ignore it? The Queen will micromanage those cities in a more detailed manner.

“When everything is prepared, nothing is available…”

"What do you mean?" Denise didn't quite understand, but she felt that this Sky Island City was not only powerful in combat, but also quite cultured.

"Even if you guard everywhere, you won't be able to protect anything. Passive defense is always the worst option." Yuki took a puff of his cigarette.

"That makes sense. You remind me of those 'war orphans'." The woman's eyes were full of admiration. Yuki, dressed in a neat military uniform, wise and powerful, was very masculine.

War orphans? Oh, that powerful faction that runs the auction house.

"Do you know them?" Yuki was very interested in the gossip of each camp and suddenly changed the subject.

"I have worked with one of the teams. The captain is a very beautiful girl with the same hair color as me." Denise suddenly found a way to build relationships. This Sky Island Yuuki is powerful, but ignorant.

Blonde, very beautiful, it can't be Violet, that person is a real war orphan.

He quickly drew his attention back, thinking there would be plenty of time to gossip later, and stepped on the cigarette butt.

"To sum up, they have no choice!"

Chapter 5: Orochimaru? (K)

Even a soldier of Captain Chris's rank couldn't figure out what was going on in the Emerald Basin.

Fortunately, Johnny Silverhand hacked into the central database and figured out many problems.

This is bad news. Once the defense army falls, the players standing on this side will have no good results.

This is also good news. Yuki's plan finally has a basis. If humans are as stable as Mount Tai, there is no point for him, a lurker, to do the main mission.

It's very simple. The fire will be destroyed and the insect swarm will be slaughtered. The second main plot of "Guardian" has already made this clear:

Kill the queen.

As for the theoretical basis beyond the rules, Johnny Silverhand also found it in the central database.

Jadeite stone, this thing is indeed the core.

Walking on the road to Area A, Yuuki stared at Chris's back in a trance. This time, there was no need to guess. By comparing the information in the central database with the clues he had found, he could get the whole picture:

The core of everything lies in the evolution of the Zerg.

The database contains detailed historical data. The Zerg appeared a long, long time ago. They were a bit like aliens at first, using human bodies as birthing beds. They were not very powerful and would kill each other. They were just a small episode in interstellar colonization.

Soon humans invented gene-disintegrating drugs and vaccinated every newborn.

Even if new humans are captured by the swarm, they cannot become brooding grounds, which is equivalent to cutting off the reproduction chain.

Having lost their ability to reproduce, the insect swarms were no match for humans and were beaten back step by step. But at this point, things became mysterious again.

The evolution of the Zerg went beyond the scope of biology, and the vaccine soon became ineffective. Scientists studied it for many years, and through the adventure of a psychic warrior, they discovered that the reproduction of the Zerg actually affected the human soul.

This thing directly made all biologists unemployed. No matter how powerful the vaccine was, it could not work on the soul. So they started to climb a new technology tree. Even the psychic warriors themselves were a by-product of this technology tree. In the end, humans made full use of emerald stones.

Jadeite was originally just a source of energy, but scientists discovered that it can carry souls. The process of absorbing souls is called activation. This is bad news because the insect swarm has also discovered this.

Now, not only humans themselves, but also the engines of war machines will be collected to breed the Zerg. This stage is also a period of great defeat for humans.

The swarm of insects is endless, and any casualties and damage will aid the enemy, forcing the defense forces to look for backup energy. However, this will make the war machines completely unusable, and they will fall into a vicious cycle.

At this critical moment, reinforcements finally arrived from outer space. With their help, humans developed a vital technology:

Soul transfer.

The end result of this technology is the 'Spark', and its function is simple: it transfers all dead human souls away, allowing the activated Emerald Stone to return to dead matter.

"Unbelievable technology. I was wondering why I couldn't get the soul after killing someone. It turns out it was transferred away."

Yuki muttered that history showed that humans were trying their best to cut off the reproduction chain, and wars were full of twists and turns, with players always playing a key role.

The players who assisted in the development of fire must be masters of the soul realm. They facilitated the second major counterattack of mankind.

With fire, humans no longer had any worries and once again defeated the Zerg, recovering 70% of the lost territory. Then another batch of reinforcements arrived.

Just when they thought the war was over, this batch of reinforcements gave them a big surprise.

First, the then commander-in-chief was assassinated, leaving humanity leaderless. Second, at this critical moment, the Zerg evolved again.

They directly used jade stones as their birthing beds, and then the cannibalism behavior disappeared, and they truly became a whole. It was during this period of time that humans discovered the existence of the "Queen".

Thousands of dissection experiments point to one reality: the soul frequency of all insects is exactly the same. Scientists boldly put forward a conjecture:

The soul is split.

Completely different from human technology, the Queen used the emerald stone as a carrier to split her own soul, leaving the swarm of insects that originally killed each other with only one consciousness, but this was not the worst.

Without the carrier of "human beings", the Zerg is equivalent to self-reproduction, and the war has become uncontrollable.

The greatest meaning of the existence of fire has been lost, the Zerg has changed from needing humans to destroying humans, and this also answered an important question for Yuki.

"No wonder the Zerg want the Fire Seed. If the Queen gets this soul complex, she'll probably be able to evolve to the next level."

It was a bit self-defeating. In the eyes of the Zerg, the value of the "spark" had surpassed that of this planet, and they no longer needed humans.

So humans built the wall, and the subsequent battles, including the previous failed beheading, became interludes.

Sadly.

Yuki's eyes were filled with pity. This was a long epic, filled with countless sacrifices and desperate struggles. If it weren't for the deep hatred, humans would probably have given up the "fire" in exchange for a chance of survival.

In a sense, humans are a group of livestock. No matter how hard they struggle, they are just trying to make themselves fat and white, waiting to be eaten by swarms of insects.

This moment is the end.

After so many years of fighting wits and courage, the Zerg has evolved to its limit, and humans can't create anything more advanced than fire. It's either you die or I die.

"There's something wrong with the Lurker's main quest. It doesn't care about the lives of humans, but it doesn't stand on the side of the Zerg either." Yuki tasted something from the player's perspective.

The Zerg's sole purpose is to devour the fire, so for players who are clearly on their side, the main quest is clearly contrary to it.

What's even more strange is that the Guardian player's position is clearly on the side of humans, at least in the second main storyline.

Could it be that the reincarnation game also hates the Zerg?

Yuki had an incredible idea, but the reincarnation game could not figure it out. Captain Chris in front happened to stop.

The steel passage was filled with psionic warriors. Their armor was more ornate, with various self-symbols painted on their shoulders.

"A unit directly under the command." Hayasaka Ai whispered beside him.

Oh, it’s the Imperial Guards. They are stronger and have the level of Extraordinary II-III.

Before, Yuki would have said he would never come no matter what, but now the last trace of danger is gone.

He saw Admiral Reingold in power armor, and beside him were several soldiers with general stars on their shoulders. They were all high-ranking officials of the defense force.

The players' side is also fully staffed, with Yuki as the leader.

The plot developed very quickly, and in a short period of time the players were facing the top management. The 10 players stood upright without any tension at all.

Now it's the natives who need the players' help, there's nothing to be nervous about.

"Mr. Major."

"Hmm?" Yuki was stunned for a moment before realizing he was being called. He took two steps forward and said, "Admiral, are you going to negotiate with us?"

"No, let the commander-in-chief talk to him in person." Reingol looked at the other party deeply. This time when they went out of the wall for inspection, the players took risks, and the psychic warriors also suffered heavy losses, almost reaching a critical point.

We can't delay any longer. This person said he found the Queen of the Zerg. You have to believe it whether you like it or not.

"Come all with me."

"No need to disarm?"

"No need. You already know what you need to know. It's better for everyone to be frank and open." The admiral said casually, and waved to Chris who was about to leave. "Captain, you come too."

No one cared about the confused girl. The players looked at each other and felt that this sentence had some hidden meaning.

Sure enough, the defense forces knew what we were doing.

Yuki glanced at Ms. Smile, who was also smiling bitterly. This used to be a conspiracy, but now it has become an open conspiracy and is no longer important.

Hiyori shook her head slightly, and after a brief reasoning, she also felt that it was not a problem.

"Then go and meet him, and be frank."

......

Entering the dedicated elevator, under the watchful eyes of dozens of psychic warriors, the players stepped into Area A, which was no longer monotonous and cold, but had a more historical weight.

Yuki saw many portraits and sculptures on the wall. Some of the people in them had been seen in the archives. They were heroes of this long war. He even stopped for a moment in front of a painting.
