Chapter 472
Indeed, the Divine Race are a special race, classified by lineage.
This was Yuki's first thought, so the hint was 'tribe' rather than 'ethnicity'.
Enhancement points and specialization points are negligible. At Yuki's level, the benefits of points are no longer important. As for this Immortal Crystal, it can be considered as inheriting some characteristics of the Immortal Pantheon.
Yuki opened his palm, revealing a crystal flower. With a thought, the crystal flower split and reformed, transforming into a shield, armor, and a giant sword.
"It's more like Chaos Item; its defining characteristic is its hardness, an extraordinary level of hardness."
He knew how long it took to blast a crack when he was operating at full power, so he accepted it with satisfaction. Too much defense would clash with the Blood-Burning Heart, Yuki had never put all his effort into that aspect.
Not bad, not bad. It's primarily defensive, but it's incredibly versatile. Just its toughness alone is comparable to Chaos Grade- level (Level 6) item.
With his second special skill acquired, he persisted in completing the strategy. The more difficult the dungeon, the more factions involved, and the more complex the background, the greater the rewards. As for the heads of the Elves and Dwarves, he hadn't even considered them.
"The assistants are all back. Get ready to make your move. The Queen and the Chieftain's heads will be earned through skill." Yuki turned around and saw the enormous creature in the sky.
Led by two epic-level Magical Beasts, Mona and the others also arrived, and Tianyi breathed a long sigh of relief.
The alliance is only temporary. If this person takes all the heads, the rate of human expansion will exceed control. Yuki is a smart man and has no intention of taking everything.
'Anyway, the meat's already rotting in the pot, so I don't care who takes it.'
He didn't know what special skills the Elves and Dwarves would bring, but Ikaros only received points; it seemed that non-lineage leaders didn't receive similar rewards.
In order to maintain the balance of the alliance, the subsequent battles were no longer relevant to Yuki; he became an observer, watching the two races struggle in vain.
They had realized something was wrong, but it was too late. The two sides had engaged in close combat, and neither could break away. Even if the higher-ups reached an agreement, the lower-ups would not be able to carry it out.
The elves were dying, the Orcs were falling, and the crowds of various races gathered to watch. Application after application came in, and eventually the tone turned into pleas and curses.
Tianyi remained unmoved, and the Netway Will rarely spoke. In their eyes, these two dangerous races had no value as allies; the stronger they became, the less reassured they were. It would be better to eliminate them to strengthen themselves.
Humans blindly Yuki's lead, while the two Magical Beasts are too happy and too lazy to care at all, and the Insect Race has no say whatsoever.
The outcome was already decided. Their only chance of survival was to board the ship before Yuki found the Insect Race. If they missed that opportunity, their goal would never change.
Is this considered a case of Hesitation is Defeat?
Yuki, unaware of the dazzling array of golden, azure, and crimson beams illuminating the sky, withdrew his gaze. The combined fleet launched a barrage of fire from all directions, with 'Annihilation Seeker' Abdulas charging ahead, laughing maniacally.
The Elven Queen and the Dwarves might not be dead, or they might still be struggling violently, but Yuki was too lazy to look anymore. In just a short while, everyone around him was gone.
The senior student team, Frieren, Mona, Ikaros, Skywing Chief, the Netway Will, and the human fleet all surged forward. It was a gluttonous feast, with vultures devouring the corpses.
Both races will be exterminated, and neither will know who is controlling them until their deaths.
With his fingers tapping out a light rhythm, Yuki felt a strong sense of pleasure. What the entire Judge team couldn't do, he accomplished with ease; the spoils had all been distributed in advance.
"The Reincarnation Game tells me to quit while I'm ahead, but I won't."
The outcome is already decided.
Even if the elves and Dwarves Muken, there is only one path to take: destruction. This is the premise of all plans; the only difference lies in how much damage the Angel Alliance can inflict.
Many people might think that these two races are so foolish. Why don't they fight to the death when the probability of being slaughtered is so high? But from the perspective of the elves and Dwarves, even if there is only a one percent chance of survival, they would fight to the death to seize it. It is meaningless to harm others without benefiting themselves.
Since we've wasted too much time sitting on the fence, there's nothing more to say when the time comes. We might as well disband the group and flee in all directions, with the various races chasing after us.
The assigned players were in deep trouble, feeling completely uninvolved throughout the entire process. First, they were treated like cattle, and later they were slaughtered like pigs. They didn't even get to see Mai Sakurajima and the others.
Even a squad with Monster IV players couldn't stop the Eighth Ring Angel chasing after them with her golden warship.
The battle ended in a rather haphazard way; there was no need to wipe them all out, eliminating more than 90% would be enough, since the spoils would rot in the pot anyway, and Yuki didn't participate in the pursuit.
He returned to his throne and observed humanity a month later with great interest.
Now that no race is hunting humans, and the wreckage accumulated from countless years of war is at their disposal, the mechanics have never been so excited. Like mice entering a granary, they have countless materials at their disposal.
"Lord Rod, the Radiance warship is based on a Dragonkin 'Bloodthirsty Flagship,' measuring 1,200 meters in length. We have repaired the 'Bloodthirsty Engine,' and its output will increase as the battle progresses."
"For protection, we used the remains of Giant and the energy shield of the Machine Race, and we also removed an enhanced rune system from the wreckage of an airship. With these three combined, our defensive capabilities should be no less than those of Angels cruiser."
"This is the death energy we stole from the undead settlement. We modified the connection method and linked it directly to the Spore Cannon, firing spores with a strong death aura. There are three of them; they are the ship's main cannons. And these are the close-in weapon systems; the cannon barrels are derived from the Elves light spears..."
A mechanic wearing a vest and covered in electronic equipment was talking non-stop, while Lucy and Slott followed on either side, nodding proudly from time to time.
Yuki couldn't understand a single word, but he had to pretend to understand. After dealing with the Judge, he stopped caring about humanity. Seeing these steel behemoths, not only did he feel like he was dreaming, but even the Angels and Machine Race were astonished.
This "I Guess" power is somewhat like building with Lego, piecing together the technologies of different races. This speed of development is normal, after all, the world is full of all kinds of debris and ruins.
Don't underestimate this ability to piece things together. Yuki was a military enthusiast in his past life, and he knows that a certain Eastern superpower's destroyers, built from various countries, just can't integrate systems. A perfectly good ship has to have its squid radar turned off when the Russian radar is on.
Humans can not only integrate the technologies of various races, but also arrange and combine them for optimization, which is truly a source of great joy for India.
However, a sense of haste was still evident everywhere, such as the exposed cables in the corridors, the busy crowds carrying supplies, and the constant sparks from welding.
"How many airships were built in total?"
"Four ships: Glory, Justice, Freedom, and Destiny. The other three are Little Ichi; we didn't have time to search for more valuable materials, so we had to make do. For example, the Justice was built using a 'Void Beast' as its platform..."
The mechanic began excitedly recounting where he had discovered the legendary warship, how it was dismantled and reassembled, and his keen interest in the crashed Apocalypse Airship and the Ancient World Tree.
Given some time, perhaps humanity really can surpass the Machine Race?
This race has mastered 'scavenging' to the max. They don't start by forging armor plates, but they are very strong at piecing things together. The world is full of Battleship Graveyard.
Unfortunately, I didn't have time.
Yuki suddenly raised his hand, silencing the incessant chatter. He didn't care how it happened; he just used it however he wanted.
"Besides the four warships, what about the soldiers?"
"A total of 3,700 warriors are equipped with power armor, and because of you, we have gained a special ability." Lucy stepped forward, wearing a power armor that blended features of several races, her face etched with translucent crystals.
Yuki has acquired the abilities of both the Orcs and the Immortal Lineage; humanity is no longer as vulnerable as it was at first glance.
"Gather 4,000 people. Those unsuitable for combat can stay on the ground." Yuki's words were like Oracle. Just then, her seniors returned, so she simply said, "There's quite a bit of wreckage on this battlefield. I'll give you two days to make final preparations and see if you can come up with any more good stuff. By the way, the Insect Race will be aboard these four warships. They're very good at close combat and can supplement our fighting strength."
Let the insects enter our sacred warship?
The group exchanged glances and reluctantly nodded. "Understood."
Yuki turned and left. To be honest, he hadn't put much effort into humanity; he had only provided the prerequisites for development. It was already an unexpected bonus that they had reached this point.
All he wanted was the identity of 'Great Game Assistant,' even if humanity remained as weak as before and was still bound to the Crimson Moon.
Humans are also pawns.
Chapter Twenty-Four: I'll take the pot with me!
Yuki has experienced many challenges and while he's not exactly indifferent, he's long since adopted a player's mentality.
He wouldn't show mercy to Lucy just because she's pretty; he's after her value. He'll give her opportunities to develop, but whether she can seize them is up to her.
The real source of their confidence lies in their gang-related activities.
"Within approximately two days, the remaining Elves and Orcs will be completely wiped out. Once the losses exceed 90%, the conditions will take effect immediately, which should be the Path to Heaven that Mr. Yuki mentioned."
Inside the Reading Space, the entire team was finally present. Even in his spiritual form, Yuki could feel a festive atmosphere, like that of the Lunar New Year.
The gains were enormous. By following Yuki, all the losses from AFK farming were made up. This is something that could wipe out several races, something that normal players could never do.
Huge rewards come with risks, but the biggest fear in Reincarnation Game is not having the opportunity to take those risks.
"Who got the heads of the Elven Queen and the Dwarves?" Yuki out.
"I... I... I am the Dwarves!" Mona raised his hand high, not even bothering to argue with Yuki. "That stinky whale helped me absorb most of the souls, and I got the head for free."
Mona was very excited; that was an epic-level boss, one that she couldn't defeat even with all her might.
The reason why Reincarnation Game assign weaker players to stronger factions is to give them the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels. Of course, this is only in theory. In reality, you also need to gain their trust and find a way to use the weak to command the strong, which is very difficult to do.
"If it weren't for my elder brother, I'd still be watching the giant whale baring its teeth. It's truly amazing! Even if the giant whale was fooled by me, it still couldn't possibly defeat the Dwarves airship fleet." Mona cupped her face, her eyes slightly narrowed with laughter.
This is the obvious strategy, Yuki takes an unconventional approach, mobilizing several races in a joint battle like a commander-in-chief. Wouldn't that have been easy for him?
Yuki gave the others a knowing look, then glanced at them, already knowing the answer without needing to ask.
Frieren stole the Elven Queen's head and assigned it to the Monster Race, which seemed unfair. After all, in this massive war, an individual's strength was not enough to defeat the entire race. However, when it came to reaping the spoils, the Monster Race who acted alone had a huge advantage.
"Oh, right, I got the Doomsday Cataclysm Armor." At this moment, Hayasaka Ai raised her hand, and everyone looked over. She shrugged, "It's also a living creature. The reward is to use it as a special item."
"However, this armor is only in its first stage. Unlocking the next stage requires 12 specialization points and special requirements, but its current output is no weaker than that of a level 6 item."
Wow, there's an unexpected bonus!
I've seen the Doomsday Cataclysm Armor Yuki Yuuki Castle; it looks somewhat like the Firefly from a certain Honkai Impact 3rd game. Logically, equipment from dungeon characters shouldn't be used as Chaos Item, but there are exceptions, like the Defense Force equipment in 'Global Insect Calamity'.
As for the first stage, that's normal. The gap between monsters and epics is insurmountable, and it's impossible for Hayasaka Ai to directly obtain epic-level combat power.
In addition to the senior's gains from the Sirens, the others also gained some rewards, and the team's overall strength increased significantly.
Yuki's expression didn't change much; wasn't the whole point of this elaborate development plan to increase their strength?
"You idiot, you're so boring. How come you don't show any change in expression?" Mai Sakurajima wrinkled her nose; this guy was getting calmer and calmer.
"I'm quite happy, but I expected it. How could I do this without some benefit?" Yuki chuckled Hiyori. "Just like in 'Death Canyon,' the more complex the dungeon and the more extensive the backstory, the more side quests you can complete, and side quests represent rewards."
Each dungeon has its own unique characteristics. The team's gains in Death Canyon were several times greater than those in Void Temple. Those caves were full of risks, and it was from them that they obtained huge profits.
Therefore, players are never afraid of taking risks; the key is whether they have the opportunity. Yuki is simply much gentler towards them than towards humans, and goes to great lengths to create the best platform for them.
"No wonder you leveled up so fast, you were completely drained from every dungeon." Mona realized what she meant and chuckled, "Looks like following you was the right thing to do. I was saying before that my luck was too bad this time and I could only coast along."
She looked like she was solving a riddle, and she was right; every player who traveled with Yuki gained a lot.
Yuki ignored her. How could she slack off while tackling dungeons with me? He even thought of details like the balance of power among the various races.
After glancing at each player's panel, his confidence grew even stronger.
Mona acquired the special skill 'Doomsday Forging', which allows her to forge offensive items. These items are not considered Chaos Item and only last for a few minutes, but they have excellent effects when combined with Manas Consciousness, allowing her to take a big step forward in the Monster IV realm.
Hayasaka Ai obtained the 'Doomsday Cataclysm Armor', after all, she invested all the points she gained in battle into 'Danganronpa', and now she has reached the level of Monster IV. As a veteran, she has managed to save some face.
Under Yuki's special arrangement, the senior student obtained the special skill of 'Soul-Eating Siren', finally having a source of energy and raising her physical attributes to the Limit of LV7. She also used the Bloodline Object 'Drowned Wraith' to raise her bloodline skill to LV2, which increases the success rate of curse-type items and skills.
Hiyori obtained the 'Spirit-Devouring Banner', a trophy from the Judge, and finally accumulated enough points to use the 'Spirit of the Night', an Alienated Grade.
The Void Puppet transforms into the Voidspace Puppet, which can traverse the void within a certain range.
Kaguya's income is relatively low, with most rewards coming from sniping small monsters; her main goal is to upgrade the Elf Archer to Master level.
Frieren snatched the Elven Queen's head, gaining the special skill 'Elven War Spear' and some elven war magic. The former is to materialize a magical spear at a rapid pace, which suits her characteristic of casting spells quickly.
"Except for Kaguya, everyone else has been promoted by one rating level, and it's a real promotion. The only downside is that participation wasn't high, so the rewards weren't as extravagant. But then again, without the help of these races, we wouldn't have had a chance of winning at all."
Yuki was very pleased. He could only provide opportunities; whether or not they could succeed depended on everyone's efforts. It turned out that there were no hopeless cases around him. What was even more valuable was that they all considered each other. For example, Kaguya could have easily taken down the Elven Queen, but she gave the opportunity to Frieren was more skilled in magic.
Hayasaka Ai and Mona are Monster IV, Senpai and Frieren reached Monster III, Kaguya and Hiyori are slightly weaker, but still at Monster II level.
This assessment of their skill level is absolutely accurate. Every item and skill perfectly matches their individual characteristics. And let's not forget, they are all specialized players with a low floor but an extremely high ceiling.
"And there's more good news, I'm getting closer and closer to 'Epic'!" Mona suddenly spoke up. She was so experienced that she must have accumulated almost all the epic achievement fragments.
These words made Mai Sakurajima's expression tighten. As a veteran, she didn't want to be outdone by a new kid.
"There's a second phase, and we'll gain more from that."
Tsk, this has ignited the fighting spirit of the senior students.
Yuki knew that Mona was deliberately showing off. Whether or not to continue was also discussed within the team, since they had already obtained the conditions for returning.
"We were going to continue anyway. It's not my habit to not clear the dungeon. Besides, you guys are full, but I'm still a bit hungry." Yuki his neck, having already decided to use this dungeon to advance to Epic Tier III.
"Then this time we'll help you eat your fill, and maybe have a sip of soup too?" The senior placed her soft hand in Yuki's palm.
"Not only do I want to eat my fill, I also want to take the pot with me." Yuki stroked his fair hand, his face darkening.
"I want the Divine Race, and I want the Divine Torch too!"
The inner ring core, once the most intense battlefield.
The earth here was completely shattered, even the rocks had a liquid-like state, and the debris floated in the air, with colorful energy particles wrapped around it like ribbons.
Destruction can also bring magnificent sights; Yuki could hardly imagine how fierce a battle must have been to leave behind such a horrific scene.
The dead end of life, the core of the earth, the end of the world.
This place has many names, and even the Angels cannot stay in this highly radioactive area for long. Unless humans are enhanced, coming here is tantamount to suicide.
Yuki stood on the wide bridge, watching humans manipulate various machines. The warship seemed to sail into a rainbow, where even gravity seemed to vanish.
