I am a reincarnation player.

"Very few. Most are recorded in myths, and they contradict each other. I have taken photos of the relevant content and will continue to analyze it in my free time."

"There's no rush. Are there any with the Tower Explorer Alliance and the rebels?"

"Even less. There's no record of previous explorations, as if it were some kind of taboo. Historical books are scarce, let alone chronological records." Hiyori tilted her head slightly, frowning in thought. "But I'm certain that the explorers directly under the Alliance truly want to activate the tower, while the rebels are truly preventing all forces from exploring the tower."

So the human faction can be divided into the Alliance, the Nobility, and the Rebels. Are there no historical records? No wonder I haven't seen any era names or chronology.

"what is the reason?"

"The Alliance sees it as a mission, while the rebels believe exploring the tower is a bad omen. This is related to the contradictions in the myths." Hiyori read through her memories, remarking, "In mythology, the witch god is recorded as the creator, the mother of all living things; but on the other hand, he is also recorded as the destroyer of the world, the most foul and brutal demon."

One god with two genders is quite interesting. As far as humans are concerned, the real protagonists are the Alliance and the rebels. Those kingdom nobles look powerful, but they are actually just there to make up the numbers.

Yuki felt more confident and looked at the dazed Phelan again: "Ms. Phelan, can you explain to us what those wizards' strange power systems are? Miss Phelan?"

The dazed Puff Mushroom suddenly woke up and noticed that everyone was staring at her. She had the most experience in the magical world, so opinions were of course important.

"Well, this isn't uncommon. Not every creature in this world can obtain energy from the outside world and then directly apply it to reality. Some extraordinary beings' bodies act more like filters, absorbing energy into their bodies and then emitting it through different media."

What follows are some difficult-to-understand words, such as "particle compression", "ether coherence", "energy frequency" and so on. Some players like to explore the theory of ether particles and trace back to the source while using power.

Mai and the others naturally didn't understand a word of the theory, but Yuki, as a time traveler, was a little better off.

Some of them are like the magic circuits in the Type-Moon world, where wizards use their bodies to filter unknown energies from the air and store them in soul crystals. When not activated, they can be used as an energy source, such as the lights in the town.

After being activated, the wizard's affinity for the soul crystal, his own physique, the method of use, and the purity of the soul crystal itself can be used to derive attacks, assistance, protective shields, and other uses.

"No wonder this thing is everywhere, no wonder these wizards don't live long." Yuki nodded. Isn't this just holding a reactor? You have to use your body to filter out toxic substances to fill it.

"Well, the Soul Crystal is the core of civilization on the Red Earth Continent. The Soul Beasts have been hunted down almost completely, and only the large numbers of them remain inside and outside the tower, so—"

"So when the tower is opened, all forces will be as lively as New Year's Day. This tower is the monster refresh point." Yuki clapped his hands lightly, completely understanding the logical connection of the copy.

Soul crystals are very similar to emerald stones, but they are not as troublesome to use as the defense forces. Any wizard can use them, and even the lowest level four wizard can use them as power banks.

"Be careful of that Tower Explorer Alliance. The Witch God is definitely not some background story. Don't you think the myths have become one?"

Everyone was stunned, savored it carefully for a few seconds, and then their eyes lit up.

The witch beast is the flesh and blood of the witch god, and the soul crystal is the product of the witch beast. This thing created a splendid civilization, but it is also a poison. Monster-level strongmen cannot live beyond the age of seventy, which is a shocking thing in any world.

"The Alliance wants to resurrect the Witch God?" Mai asked tentatively.

"I don't know. Maybe he wasn't dead in the first place. Anyway, the tower will give us all the answers."

When the time came, the chat room built with special features collapsed, and Yuki's attention returned to reality. In front of him was a giant tower like a pillar of the sky. Only when he got close to it did he realize how huge it was.

It towers into the clouds, with a diameter of more than 500 meters. Its surface is smooth and seamless, as if it is made of some kind of metal, and there are no windows or anything like that.

A huge dark red tower stood in the valley. Yuki looked around and saw the word "fanaticism" on the faces of those mercenaries.

A legacy from God, a product of miracles, even players rarely see such a huge man-made object, let alone these natives.

Many people knelt on their knees, touched the ground with their heads, and muttered scriptures, as if they were on a pilgrimage. But when he thought about the fact that they were going to hunt for the "flesh and blood of God", Yuki felt a sense of irony.

Well, the energy particles in the air are several orders of magnitude higher, no wonder ordinary people can't see them.

Yuki looked around and could see with the naked eye a light mist floating in the air. To ordinary people, it was a poisonous fog. Even the plants had mutated. Only a fourth-level wizard would dare to approach.

The mountain range extends towards the bottom of the valley. There is a dark red fog wall almost several kilometers away, as if it is covering the tower with a coat.

Ten minutes to go.

He glanced at his watch. There was no need to ask about the time when the tower would open. It seemed to be engraved in the hearts of every native. They were waiting, waiting for the call of God.

Yuki suppressed the urge to rush into the fog wall and sat on his horse bored. He had killed bishops and faced apostles before, but he had no interest in superstitious religions. He just heard the sound of horse hooves and hundreds of people came out from all over the mountains.

With flags waving, the armies of the Mesopotamian Kingdom and its allies advanced in battle formation. There were no ordinary soldiers among them. These thousands of people were all wizards. Behind them were the hundred-man teams belonging to the tower explorers, who were responsible for entering the tower to explore.

There are three groups of tower explorers from the noble army and one group from the alliance.

Yuki saw a tower explorer wearing a black robe, carrying a coffin on his back, and refusing to even show his eyes. His intuition told him that these people were more powerful. Because the valley was too vast, each team occupied a hill. On the right side, the few people were quite conspicuous.

They didn't even invite the natives, and the seven of them stood alone on the mountain, but they were wearing similar black uniforms, and the three leading people made Yuki raise an eyebrow.

One is a blond man with a tall and strong build; one is a black-haired girl with a tall build; and one stands upright, like a corporate slave.

Do I have some bad connection with the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" camp? The Demon Slayer Corps, CCG, Super Disaster Countermeasures Room and Jujutsu Master are all here?

Yes, Yuuki recognized the identities of these three people at a glance. It seems that the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" is also harmonious and friendly. When these three people see cursed spirits, evil spirits and the like, they will beat their brains out.

In addition to a few miscellaneous soldiers, the three leaders are:

Rengoku Kyojuro, Isayama Yomi, and Nanami Kento.

Chapter 6: Domineering (K)

Interesting, really interesting.

No one can tell the other party's camp at a glance like Yuuki, and further associate it with the camp structure of the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade".

Judging from the name of the faction, the pioneer of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons must be a 'ghost', and the conflicts between their factions are even more acute than those of the 'Ether Particles'.

Humans and demons coexist, and their hatred is irreconcilable. From observation, there are at least three worlds, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", "Jujutsu Kaisen" and "Soul Eater", and without exception, they are all about the relationship between hunter and prey.

It seems that the human players are doing pretty well. They are not blocked by evil spirits and they eat every one that comes up.

"Do you know those three players?" Philen also noticed the gaze, but he couldn't recognize them at all when he looked over there. "They're quite impressive, especially the three leading them."

Experienced players all have keen intuition. Two of the leaders are holding knives, and they are obviously good at close combat.

"I shouldn't know him, but I do. This situation is generally called recognition."

"What a mess."

Yuuki shook his head, feeling it was a shame that the mushroom didn't get his sense of humor. He met the gaze from the other side and nodded slightly, then went to look at the tower.

"Does anyone know this player?" Nanami Kento asked slowly. He felt that the look just now was very strange, but he didn't know this player.

His companions shook their heads, thinking that Mr. Nanami was making a fuss out of nothing. Shouldn't every player be scrutinized when they meet?

"Hahahaha, you can tell he's quite strong, maybe even stronger than me." Kyojuro laughed heartily, crossing his arms. "It's a pity that his gaze wasn't a challenge, more like a greeting between old friends."

"How do you know he is better than you? Also, why do you look like old friends?" Nanami Kento adjusted his glasses, feeling a little uncomfortable with this comrade.

"Just looking at you makes my blood boil, how can it not be powerful!"

"Please don't let your unfounded intuition interfere with my judgment."

"Alright, you two, stop arguing. Why do you always get along?" The girl made a pause gesture, mumbling to Pocky, "Those evil creatures adjusted their permissions. We finally got this faction mission, so we have to do something big this time."

Some of the authority was on the enemy side, and they happened to modify the frequency of accepting tasks, making it difficult for them to receive the camp tasks.

"Mr. Gojo sent us out here to do something big and close the gap between us." Kyojuro nodded heavily, then smiled gloatingly, "Did you hear about that last faction mission? The evil creatures had a terrible time. Not only did they get nothing, but only one of them escaped."

"As the old saying goes, 'Those who do too much evil will eventually perish.' Those evil creatures can't get along with most players. It's a pity that the cursed spirit survived." Nanami Kento smoothed his wind-torn hair, his eyes cold. "The senior's plan is moving forward. They will unite with players from other factions to completely reverse the situation."

"The most important thing is secrecy. The person we're looking for must be reliable. Otherwise, if we lose control, it will cause a catastrophe, a catastrophe without a winner."

Isayama Yomi's words are very true and cruel. Cross-faction wars mean risks, and these risks are multi-faceted. For example, after the news is leaked, everyone will call on players from other factions to turn their own outposts into battlefields. Internal negotiation is the best way to resolve the issue.

But there is no way. The 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' is different from other camps. There is only a clear dividing line here. Either you are a ghost or you are a human. Ghosts want to eat humans, and humans want to kill ghosts. What's more troublesome is that ghosts are stronger than humans.

Seeing that his words had depressed his companions, Isayama Yomi slapped his face and clasped his hands together to apologize: "We'll find a way. At worst, we can ask the hunters for help. Just focus on the mission. We're going to make a killing this time!"

The harvest represents the fate of the camp. Nanami Kento could feel the pressure and glanced at the dashing girl.

"You are the captain this time, what should you do?"

"No, no, no, Kyojuro and Nanami-san are more like captains." Huang Quan didn't care about the empty title, and gently stroked the red-handled long sword at his waist. "You guys decide these things, I'll just be a quiet observer and take a look--"

"Which players have the potential for cooperation?"

......

Dang Dang Dang——

As soon as the words fell, the bell rang, and everyone except the players knelt on the spot, chanting unknown scriptures. The tiny sounds gathered together and spread towards the sky.

The clouds parted, and the scorching sun shone on my body, just like a sight from the sky, filling me with an inexplicable sense of sacredness.

Then, the fog wall opened, revealing the entire valley.

The red soil, the dark red dense forest, and the dancing demonic shadows in the forest added a touch of fear and greed to the sacredness. Yuki looked sideways and saw that the hearts of each team were in turmoil. Many wooden boxes were carried to the front of the formation, and after they were opened, they were shining with golden light.

"Brothers, the witch beast has appeared. Do a good job and you won't have to worry about your next life!"

Peggy's roar mixed with the mercenaries' roar. There will always be brave men when there is a big reward, and all forces are ready to fight.

Yuuki's face was expressionless, the dense forest obscured his view, but he had a feeling:

Many people will die this time. No wonder it happens once every seventy years. It is enough to kill most of the wizards accumulated over the years. So, who is hunting whom?

He knew there was a problem, but he was powerless to stop it because that was human nature, greed could overwhelm all reason.

"Stop howling like a ghost and clearing the way. I need to get to the Shura Tower as quickly as possible."

The word "cannon fodder" was written all over Yuki's face, but no one objected. Peggy yelled "Brothers, follow me", and the chaotic team passed by Yuki.

Philen sat upright on his horse, casting a questioning look: "Slow or fast, or should we test the waters first and then change targets if something seems off?"

Military flags fluttered, thousands of soldiers poured in, and all kinds of magic flew around like festive fireworks.

Yuki admired the fireworks and rode up to catch up, saying only, "I want to gain freedom of movement as quickly as possible so I can free up my hands to deal with the players."

free?

Philen thought about it and realized that the hint did indeed contain a way to gain freedom.

[Tip 3: Players need to stay in the tower for at least seven days or enter the highest level to wait for all sub-towers to be activated and the Tower of the Sorcerer God to be opened. Players who do not complete the conditions will be eliminated.]

[Tip 4: Each camp can only choose one tower to enter. You can change the target. Tip 3 conditions will be reset.]

Tips three and four bind players to the tower. Unless necessary, it is best not to change the goal of a faction, because no one knows when the tower will automatically activate, and if the goal is not completed by then, it will be a disaster.

But there is a way to make activation controllable.

[Tip 2: Activating a sub-tower requires the approval of a witch spirit or relevant permissions. The witch spirit will automatically activate the tower at the appropriate time.]

Philen immediately understood what the man meant. If he held the activation power in his own hands, wouldn't that mean he would have freedom of movement?

He wanted to kill Wu Ling and become the master of Shura Tower.

......

The dark red woods were dense, but not dim under the magical light.

Seven teams rushed into the valley from all directions, and the battle was in full swing. From time to time, beams of light shot straight into the sky, accompanied by loud rumbling sounds, and large tracts of forests were burned.

Yuki had no intention of joining the battle. He just watched Peggy and the others fight desperately on horseback. They fought in small teams. Rather than being traditional Western fantasy wizards, they were more like a group of modern infantry.

Fighting in small teams, the soul crystals embedded in the armor burst out with dazzling energy, forming a group of protective shields.

Energy attached to the sword, and from a distance they looked like a group of Jedi Knights, their physical fitness rapidly improving, leaving a trail of afterimages in the forest; the staff was more like a laser cannon, and beams of light cut the trees as hard as steel in half.

There is no magic circle, only because of the difference in personal qualifications, the released energy is added with effects such as fire, ice, and hurricane.

"It's quite interesting. The civilization of this world has obviously formed a power system, and the combat power spans from extreme to extraordinary." Yuki watched carefully and nodded from time to time. At least there was a bit of Western fantasy adventure style in the team cooperation.

"How many teams can you fight?" Philen looked more seriously, she was an expert.

"Looking at the battlefield conditions, if they were to fight on a plain, a hundred-man force could cause some trouble, but in a place like this, they wouldn't survive more than five minutes."

Philen moved her mouth and wanted to brag. She knew that Yuki was strong, but she didn't know how strong. Yuki had no interest in explaining.

So this is the witch beast.

He watched as a monster with purple-red skin, three heads and six arms, about two meters tall, rushed into the shield wall, slashing around with its sharp blade, killing several people on the spot, and then was covered by magic like a tractor beam, and its movements immediately slowed down.

More than a dozen flaming beams came at once and ignited it. Several mercenaries held spears with beams on the blades that were half a meter long, accurately piercing the monster's chest. The assassin emerged from the shadows again and stabbed it in the back.

With a series of slashing sounds, the monster fell down, and all three heads were chopped off. The assassin then dug out a crystal from the monster's heart, and the witch beast was completely dead.

"That's a level four wizard beast, probably at the extraordinary level?" Philen said softly, and there was a mercenary next to him who was introducing it.

"Well, to be precise, it's Extraordinary III, which is pretty good among the miscellaneous soldiers." Yuki nodded and looked at the demonic shadow whizzing through the forest.

Unlike the insect swarm, each wizard beast looks different, but they are all about the same size, barely recognizable as human, and similar to wizards, with distinct characteristics.

Some release balls of light from a distance, some charge into battle, and some are invisible like assassins, but they have no brains and do not know how to cooperate, so they are naturally no match for the army.

Even these humans are like beasts.

Yuki looked at the faces distorted by greed and killing, watched them take soul crystals alive, and stroked the hilt of the knife with his fingers.

These people completely forgot about clearing a path and just frantically hunted around, even forgetting the existence of him, the tower explorer.
