Chapter 861: Chapter 860 Labels and Exclusion
Hearing such arrangement, Han Dong was quite surprised.
He had thought that Toad Ancestor had deliberately appointed Maritzis to specifically supervise his group.
Furthermore, the “Ancestor Body” would inevitably serve as the leader of the team…
Little did he know, as soon as Toad Ancestor spoke, he directly designated the role of team leader to Han Dong.
Hearing this, Han Dong realized a problem, and while glancing at Lord Maritzis, who was hanging her head, he promptly suggested:
“Great Toad Ancestor, as humans, this is our first time entering the ‘Gate of Toad’ with the identity of [Toad]. Presumably, some of the fate rules corresponding to it will differ from the Fate Space we originally experienced.
Giving me all the authority isn’t quite right.
Why not evenly distribute the permissions between me and Lord Maritzis… I imagine Maritzis has much experience in this regard.”

“The command is in your hands, you yourself decide how to arrange it.
This awakening has already consumed too much of my spirit, I need to continue sleeping, and I hope you can bring back something ‘useful’ for me.”
As soon as Toad Ancestor finished speaking, he went straight to sleep in his chair.
Because of Han Dong’s willingness to relinquish half of the command.
The previously enraged Maritzis’ body trembled, and a great part of her fury dissipated… She slightly tilted her head, her semi-transparent white eyes peeking through her moist hair at the human youth.
She then revealed a wary expression, always feeling that the other party’s actions were premeditated.
Following the departure of Toad Ancestor.
Han Dong immediately turned to inquire:
“Lord Maritzis, could you speak in advance about the differences we will encounter in the Fate Space as [Toad]?
We, as knights, have only experienced the true fate once.
Speaking for myself, I have not encountered a ‘Demon Team’ in an incident.”
“The difference is significant.
Even if the great Toad Ancestor can change the [Door], lowering the threshold… But your human ‘Fate Space’ is fundamentally repulsive to different species.
Once we pass through the ‘Gate of Toad’, our small team will be labeled as [Toad].
This will cause subsequent events to change.
We have captured many knights, learning about the Fate Space by extracting their brain memories… By comparison, we can deduce that the Fate Space is noticeably more favorable to you humans than to us, who are labeled as different.”
“How so?”
“Adverse event backgrounds and plot character settings,
Not at all comparable to the clue tips and main storyline of humans,
Plus, once a human team successfully hunts us… they also reap handsome rewards.
The specific circumstances depend on the incidents we encounter.
Though, I do not doubt the decision of Lord Toad Ancestor, I do not believe you low-level humans, who grew up in a ‘greenhouse’, can survive in such a passive situation.
Moreover, you will inevitably be matched with a team far stronger than yours.
Don’t think that just because you can handle a few waste creatures in the backyard, you can compare with me… Since it is Toad Ancestor’s command, I will do my best to complete this task, but do not expect me to provide help in dangerous moments, your life and death are none of my concern.
I also hope you can live up to Toad Ancestor’s trust and find useful items for the Supreme One that can weaken the lethargy bondage coming from the ‘Mythical Field’.”
It was normal for Maritzis to look down on these low-level knights from the bottom of her heart.
Even by the standards of the Holy City.
First-tier and second-tier knights are completely out of their league when it comes to Ancestor Bodies… If they encounter one, it’s as good as delivering their heads on a platter.
Moreover, even putting aside the issue of levels,
looking at the battle that took place in the backyard earlier, everyone found it extremely difficult to deal with the Mature Body-Demon.
Maritzis was confident that she could kill all of these fellows.
…
Han Dong wore a polite smile and responded, “We will try our best not to hold you back and to seek useful treasures for Lord Toad Ancestor.
Speaking of which, I’m curious about something.
Can you also obtain “Level Up” from Fate Space, just as we humans can receive gifts, or do you just get Fate Treasures and credits?”
“Indeed, we can also achieve ‘Level Up’… but the difficulty is too high and Fate Space is quite repellant to alien species, so not many high-level demons are willing to take such a dangerous path to enhance themselves.”
From the tone of Maritzis, it was clear that she also had no interest in using Fate Space to level up.
She would rather stay in her own Toad Palace and search for methods at her leisure, instead of rushing to Fate Space to face death.
Not to mention, she might encounter other Ancestor Bodies in unsuitable dry areas… and at the same time, face the pursuit of human teams as well as the pressure from the storyline itself.
“That’s enough talk. Soon the protective layer of mucus on your friend will disappear.
I don’t want to drag a bunch of half-dead fellows to Fate Space… Although your main role is to ‘lower the level,’ don’t be like waste, becoming a burden right at the start.
Hurry up and keep up.”
Maritzis was already standing in front of the “Gate of Toad,” waiting for everyone to enter together.
If the time interval is too long, it might be considered as two separate teams… Maritzis wouldn’t act on a whim either, for if she incurs the wrath of Lord Toad Ancestor, she could only be like an ant, easily crushed.
While everyone was following,
Han Dong intentionally slowed down, lagging behind.
Of course, Han Dong didn’t fall too far behind, he was just simply the last one… such a distance wouldn’t be enough to separate into two teams.
“We’ll discuss the specifics at the ‘Transfer Station.’ Come on.”
Maritzis pushed open the Gate of Toad embedded in the surface of the brain, and the inside space whirlpool was almost identical to the one in Holy City.
Upon crossing the portal, a conspicuous Mark of the Toad was impressed upon Maritzis’s shoulder, the ‘label’ mentioned earlier, designating her as a ‘non-human participant,’ which would subject her to more or less rejection afterwards.
“We should hurry up and follow.
If we don’t have the assistance of Lord Maritzis, it will be hard for us to survive… However, I might wait a bit before meeting you at the Transfer Station.
Due to my special experience in Fate Space last time, I will make a trip to a different area first.”
“Understood.”
With no time for further questions, everyone immediately stepped into the Gate of Toad.
Just as Han Dong had anticipated.
Whether it was a regular Door of Fate or the restricted and modified Gate of Toad… neither affected the ‘Black Swirl identity.’
As his companions were completely swept away by the spatial torrent,
Han Dong, due to the rotation of the Black Swirl on his body trunk, remained in place the entire time.
The all too familiar prompt from Fate came:
『Detection of the Black Swirl Mark on participant. Would you like to go to the Black High Tower?
Note: The Black High Tower is a special preliminary area and will not cause you to leave your squad… Once you have completed all you wish to do in the Black High Tower, you can return to the Transfer Station where your squad is resting.』
