"Doctor..... Doctor" i open my eye and seeing Amiya happy, she called me over and over again.
i get up from my Sarcophagus and look at her. should i pretend to be amnesiac ? fuck it.
"who are you ?" Amiya shocked hearing my question.
"Doctor, are you forgetting about me ?"
"....." i tilt my head and shake my head, Amiya grow concern as my body completely malnutrition, my face decayed and other as my organ completely fail, i too lazy to heal myself as well.
"lets go, we must get out of here" as i follow her, i meet the group of Rhodes Islander.
"Leader Amiya, is he ?"
"Yes, He Doctor !"
"Doctor ? who ?" As i say that, I can see Amiya wide eye look at me with disbelieve.
"You Doctor Valtor...."
"Valtor ? who ?" Amiya become wide eye again, she having emotional whiplash but we continue to gather to main team position but we get ambushed.
"Found them !" i take the arrow on Medic Crossbow.
"Doctor, hide" i dash forward, disobeying Amiya order and quickly incapacitated them before they even have chance to fight back, the fluidity of my movement was top notch not only that, i completely take them out.
i stole their weapon and carry it like a child to them but i dodge the arrow and in quick reaction, i grab the arrow mid air and lunge it back to sender weapon completely destroy it, the rapid fire arrow start but i completely deflect the arrow using only barehanded then as the arrow on the ground, i pick it up and throw it like dagger, the accuracy of my attack completely destroy their arsenal and we retreat.
"Doctor ! you amazing !"
"... Who ?" they completely forget i have amnesia but when we gather with Dobberman.
"you success rescuing living legend, Invincible Commander Valtor Ismael"
"Who ?" Dobberman stop talking and look at Amiya, Amiya laugh awkwardly.
"Doctor have amnesia, but he still have the skill to fight, he so fluid in movement, faster and strong"
"Are you sure ? he not looks like a fighter with that body of him" She right though, but when i approach the wall and touch it, i detect all the people movement, in just 3 second i draw map of chernoborg using my finger and creating battle plan and enemy movement with Rhodes Island member also civilian nearby.
"That is doctor, he is battle master, brilliant invincible tactician and gentle medic and curious researcher, he not losing the capability but only his memory and his decaying body" i shut Amiya mouth using my hand and make a shush code, we hear rumble of movement of reunion near us. as i pick pocketing PRTS Tablet from her and use it to scout other. the drone move in the sky but it attract unwanted attention and worse part was this so backward but this is challenge. i secretly adjust the thing and connect to everyone intercom.
"test.... communication in, i will command you from here, i will bring you victory, Mission Start !" as i deploy them to the place where have so many advantage and we won in our first mission of escape from encirclement, my tactic and commanding skill still top notch, utilizing everyone ability and skill to fully advantage situation and condition make all of them feel relieve despite my pretending amnesia and decayed body.
"doctor we won !" i shut amiya mouth with my hand again.
"No, is not over, we won until we out from here. we still in the city this is war zone, you die is not an option even wounded is not a mistake, i don't know who are you, i don't know who you belong but i will get you out of here" we go rendezvous point but we get attracted by Reunion member and Chernoborg police guard.
Amiya try her best to negotiate but suddenly the red wolf appear, she Someone i completely forget who she is.
"hmm trying to run" i appear right on her face, completely caught her off guard, i completely incapacitate her as her lack of something called, Self Defense in High speed CQC.
after completely knock her out, i dance fluidly using my martial art hand to hand with one quick technique to subdue the squad, even their well trained or experience, due my chaotic battle style, they never know how to adapt to it.
As i finish my job, i take their leader as hostage.
"Bargain chip, lets go, we should continue to rendezvous point"
"Hey you can...." i completely disable all Chernoborg police like nothing to be fret off.
"You not ready, lack discipline and adaptation. you guard not fighter, go retire on the retirement house where everyone there can fight you equally" we retreat but the humiliation and savage of me still on there.
"Doctor, you still savage as before"
"Who ?" Amiya flinch hearing that, i still like being forget who i am but still proficient and effective fighter even Babel record make me most dangerous fighter from entire mercenary because how fast i move and how efficient my execution was not even strongest Art user can keep up with me who unpredictable in attack and technique.
because we have the Reunion leader as Hostage, we get tracked by them. but we meet ace who currently alone, i detect them hiding on the building.
"Ace !"
"You made it out alive, Doctor is that you ?"
"Who ?"
"ummm Ace, Doctor have Amnesia"
".... i see, after all he lost his organ and his heart due suicide in previous organization, it is miracle he still alive without working organ. but his capability still ?"
"Sharp as before"
"Glad to hear it, the General still alive but we need to woke up the scarlet king, we should"
"OVER THERE !" Reunion catching us.
"Done chit chat ? Doctor also bring hostage of their leader"
"Hostage ? classic doctor. controlling morale of the enemy, lets go to Rendezvous point" we go there as i command them to ambush the reunion member which major success of how tactical advantage we are and when we currently rest, the Hostage awake.
"Urghh... You !" Dobberman do questioning.
"You who are you !"
"Me ? I Am Crownslayer, reunion member and" i pat Dobberman shoulder and tilt my head, that is my job to end her.
"Heh, what you want ?"
"Free you"
"what ?"
"What !"
"Classic Doctor"
"What are you doing, you will expose our position to them !" Dobberman was shocked and surprise as we also have limited supply because we completely forget to fetch it, i know where the supply was.
"Ahahahahaha, you insane ! freeing hostage is suicide move" i take the chair and sit in front of her.
"Suicide is badass, especially you have nothing to lose, and i am not losing my team not even you call most powerful member on your movement, go on, catch us" I release crownslayer as she look at me with mockery.
"You will surely fail this time" she run away as i smile.
"No, you are. You forget hit and run tactics, we forget to take supply from our fight previously" Ace clasp his hand and remember the hit and run tactics, Fabius tactics where we wearing enemy assault while us win the tactical retreat with supply reinforcement along the way, that supply gradually strength us and we can do counter attack.
"I remember, that Genius Tactics, Doctor you never lost your edge, where is the supply ?"
"What do you mean supply ?" Dobberman and other ask same Question, for amiya she also remember it.
"Doctor have Anonymous benefactor whenever we achieve victory, from mission, covert mission, battle any require us to fight, we won we receive supply such food, equipment and medical item in form of cargo if battle was to big and so disadvantageous for us, but for small skirmish or scout fight we either receive box or some bag that have those 3 depending our situation, that is why in babel before we never lack supply or fund to continue to fight but after Doctor Suicide, the benefactor never come to our aid. where is the supply doctor ? i will fetch it" Ace still remember good old day where we literally running around the battlefield while still full morale and spirit due the supply but the enemy was lack supply and their firepower to strength reduced greatly and exhaust from hit and run.
"The supply hidden in alleyway in box have your logos on it, but the road has reunion patrol. i will mark the location for you, this time is gather and search mission, total stealth is necessary, currently is night we have major advantage of sight but the noise is the problem, we must use distraction of it, Have any of you have mobile phone or computer to use ?"
"Doctor ?" A Rhodes Island member give their laptop to me.
"Thank you" i attach the electricity to socket and start hack the complete electrical pathway in Chernoborg, using my Great Machina ability, i hack all electrical current int hsi chernoborg.
"Due total Black out, if we use electrical charge to other technology using electricity, we have this" suddenly there was loud noise from the street, all car alarm active, the light of all building on and off simultaneously, all the alarm in the building also active, the electrical door, the many thing that need electric all active on and off together creating chaos in the street and other.
"Complete distraction, we have 1 hour before the chaos done, nothing can shut it down as i program it, now fetch me the supply and we should leave the area" the Rhodes Island seeing and hearing the distraction was annoying to deal at, because this was great riot will happened due sudden of this.
After gathering the supply in less than Hour, we gather the original spot but i was in my own world, eating the food that i cook myself.
"Welcome, back, have a meal" the aroma of my food was completely make them hungry to the point they never have smell this type of food but soon they eat the food, splash and explsoive flavor of the food completely overwhelmed their mouth, sense even belly. surge tastiness and divine food completely rejuvinate their tiredness and other.
"Doctor i never know you can cook this delicious meal, i can't stop chewing it"
"good, we should recover from this and start to move, the reunion now completely disorganize due the chaos before and now we gonna use this to escape the outskirt of Chernoborg" we hurriedly eat and full energy, we run to outskirt chernoborg.
We arrive with in Outskirt where we meet Nearl, i know her and remember her from first life, but now i need to change plan, i wonder Thunder Rain can good.
"Catastrophe, bad omen"
"No, is good omen" everyone look at me who look at the sky.
"Doctor..... this not time for another shenanigans of you, Catastrophe bring the bad omen"
"i wonder about that... is catastrophe bringing bad omen, why dont it strike me down to oblivion ! HEY CATASROPHE, I AM HERE, STRIKE ME DOWN, NO BALLS NO BALLS !"
"Are he insane or something ?"
"Maybe" figure from tall building seeing our group, especially me who mocking the catastrophe.
"Doctor ! stop, please act rational"
"I am rational, i just mock that person there, and that group over there and that ambush over there" I point where Talulah were, Mephisto, Faust and Crownslayer location and other reunion ambush who hide from plain sight.
"what !" everyone on guard while me just smile.
"What we should do Doctor !"
"Simple, We surrender"
".... What !"
"Yes, We surrender !"
"are you insane ! we have no time to surrender"
"Calm down, trust me" I simply raise my hand and we surrender, the Reunion appear from their hiding place and Mephisto and Faust also here, they were delighted seeing me surrender.
"finally you surrender Rhodes Island, your days of reckoning is begun"
"The leader is little kid ?" I shocked and Mephisto look at me with arrogance.
"Yeah, you lose by little kid, humiliating defeat yes" i roll my eye then see Talulah and Crown Slayer who approach me, idiot tactics.
"Rhodes island, you finally" i dash to her in just mere second, then completely knee hit Talulah guts, she pass out instantly as i using Lightning from catastrophe to charge my speed to completely decimate the reunion movement before they have chance to react my speed.
"i told you right ? is a good Omen, we have reunion leader as our hostage, 3 Commander and other reunion as well" i break the chain on my hand without using any help despite the chain is literally to sturdy to break and heavy as additional safety, i crush everyone chain using my hand.
"Doctor, next time tell us your plan, you almost make us died back there"
"to deceive your enemy, deceive your ally first, for now we should help other infected and detained this 4 person of Landship" Talulah woke up and enrage seeing me, this is not Talulah but Kaschey.
"YOU !" I slap her so hard she actually pass out the second time.
"Why you scream, you surprised me !" We return to Landship as i greeted by other.
"Who ?" i tilt my head and act confuse, majority of former babel who know me try their best remembering all the past. until Kal'tsit appear.
"Dr Kal'tsit" Kal'tsit approach me, seeing me skinny and decaying.
"You look funny Valtor.... is he have Amnesia ?"
"Yes.... due his failure organ and much more but he still have the combat ability and tactical capability" She look at me, with dead eye, she stare right into my soul who empty, she close her eye and hold her tear.
Me, Kal'tsit and Theresa was trio pillar, Theresa for her kindness, Kal'tsit for her knowledge, Me for my Bravery.
Kal'tsit already feel so much trust to me even Theresa herself due my intense gentleness, kindness and we never have any disagreement to each other, even we on our worse moment, we hug each other and lift each other up despite the unfavorable situation and condition.
but seeing me decayed body which contras before full of vigor and robust, and worse, i never forget about anything and always remind everyone for any thing they can be forget even they unaware even attention to detail, i was observant and understanding. yet the act of me play cruel joke, just because cause of selfless action of suicidal which everyone thought it was stupid move but my vow, who never tempted by any offer even marrying theresa, was not a option.
it was smart move by other but cruel physiological breakdown, someone who you trust decided to stay true to his vow and actually dare to kill himself to make his vow pure was respected. i was glorified as General who stay at his vow and now the general is gone but his capability still there.
"Valtor, it's me, Kal'tsit. Do you remember when you used to wake me up, checking on my health and asking how my day was? Do you remember how you comforted me despite the hopeless situation we faced, particularly in Kazdel? Do you recall the day when Theresa almost gave up on her dream because we kept hurting and killing her people, and you assured her that there was still hope? Theresa is gone, Valtor. After you sacrificed yourself to fulfill your vow and resisted any offer that Regent Theresis gave you, including marrying his sister Theresa as an exchange. Theresa was devastated when you took your own life to stay true to your word. She wanted me to promise to bring you back, no matter the cost. I brought you to the Sarcophagus, hoping it could resurrect you from the brink of death. I saw her executed with a smile on her face, never resenting the betrayal from her people. I lost her, but I still hold onto hope that you can return to our side. Remember your own words, Valtor? 'Learn from the old, fix the present, change the future.' You used to say that to me, to everyone, every day when we were still on that side. Have you forgotten, Valtor?" Kal'tsit get emotional as she spoke, she actually crying and want me to return, the good old day but now is the dilemma of being Main Character, i should stop this act and embrace it but still following timeline though.
I reach her cheek and wipe her tear gently, Kal'tsit look at me who currently smiling with genuine compassion.
"I never forget that" my voice from raspy old now become soft and mature, Kal'tsit break down in tear and instantly hug me.
"WELCOME BACK, WELCOME BACK, WELCOME BACK !"
"DOCTOR WELCOME BACK !" Former member of Babel who now remember how my voice like also the Same, Amiya also remember that voice, the very voice that soothe her every night, every day from her nightmarish dream of war and she actually hug my body.
"Okay, that is enough. we should focus upon current problem. before that, i must take back my destroyed heart. Closure, do you save that container that in case something that happened ?"
"Oh, yes, i still safeguard it, wait here"
"Kal, thank you for remembering that, but for now due my "Amnesia" self detaining the Leader of Reunion, this will getting out of control. but now everything is under control, now i must fix this Body of mine"
"Doctor ! here the tube !" Closure toss me the tube, and fresh blood of my heart. Closure remember if my heart get crushed, absorb the blood and put it on tube to whenever needed.
"Okay, can you please move out approximately 4 step away from me" everyone back off 4 step away from me, i transmute the blood and creating crystal then after complete Transmute it to crystal, i eat the crystal, taste strawberry.
i use God Mode, Amaterasu Form.
Suddenly, pillars of light energy rise up to the sky, creating a blend of white and gold hues that bathes the world in a glorious light of holiness, purity, and divinity, transcending the universe itself. I emerge atop one of these pillars, clad in the Camael armor which somehow come from Diablo Universe, its halo releasing swirling tendrils of light as it gathers energy around me same as Halo in Asura Wrath. Instead of a helmet, I wear a hoodie adorned with Archon Lucien wings, now expanded to six wings, and finishing with Imperius wings as a tailcoat, creating a majestic trail of angelic or light dust.
My transformation emits a swirling wisp of light, akin to a fairy descending from heaven, singing lullabies around me. These beings are adorable, and I find myself fond of them. The lullabies soothe my entire being, particularly because the fairy's noise of it is making beautiful otherworldly sound
The most striking change, however, is my stature, which is now absolutely otherworldly. I stand tall, majestic, exuding comfort, mystery, and a sense of serenity.
"I'm so glad this still work" My voice become more beautifully enchanting, the charm of Seraphim, the highest rank of the voice that impactful to literally any existence i speak upon with the fact that my whole existence is currently Infinity, anything can be possibility.
but for now there is still a job to fix on, but as i try to expand the wing, it touch the ceiling, the wing big enough to cover entire 16x16 room wide, i wonder i can use it as offensive or defensive purpose.
the wing folded beautifully as the lower part turn into my winged boots, the middle part turn into winged hand gloved, the upper part turn into winged earing. i edit PRTS using special digital Hard light display for full of battle map and location which i draw what it's in there.
"I will take command from here, we gonna play offensive rather hit and run" I took command all Operator in team which best they utilize in specific condition and enemy, i teleport them to battlefield and command them from Landship.
utilizing my Amaterasu mode, this mode actually give specific buff that i never expected especially this is "Team Buff".
strength, courage, war. aspect of Camael the true Angel, The Courage give amplification to bravery despite i send 4 man team to 1000 Enemy which consider suicide mission but actually this courage amplified with Muses Key Bestows a special charm upon my speech of vow taht i will bring them victory no matter how odd and low the possibility, it gave them strength to preserve and fight to the end, utilizing the war amplification i can deduce enemy movement, think and battle combat before they even have chance to do it.
this commanding ability deserve respect who don't participate in front but soon it was complete in less 7 Minutes mark, we completely demoralize Reunion, catching Yeti Squadron with Frostnova and Patriot with his shield guard, Skullshatterer and Misha also same, as i already caught all reunion member in Lungmen before even LGD have chance to counter attack, the speed of our engage and accuracy of commandship was top notch, under my watchful eye, quick multi tasking and information gathering and other, nothing can pinch me, ambush me, encircle me, even outnumber or outskill my team in battlefield.
even using Negative Sense to detect enemy who try to betray and use dirty tactic, i already caught them off guard before they even start to act, it's like they were playing under my palm all along.
"Mission complete, Good work everyone. The supply will distribute on your location, be patient for a moment"
"Supply ?"
"3, 2, 1..." From their position, a truck and a chopper arrived, delivering a supply cargo marked with the Rhodes Island logo. When it dropped near them, the supplies included medical equipment, Oripathy-reducing medicine, food, item maintenance tools, and other necessities. This resupply ensures we are fully prepared for the next combat.
"For those who don't know, I have anonymous support from a benefactor who rewards me with substantial wealth every time I achieve victory in battle, missions, or challenges that grant me a 'Win Condition.' This support includes gold ingots, precious treasures, luxuries, and abundant resources. Each victory amplifies this wealth. However, the type of victory determines the type of reward: for all-out combat, supplies depend on the nature of the combat; for search and gather missions, you receive materials, currency, and more. By working with me, you risk nothing and have nothing to lose. Commit to the mission, and I will bring you victory, no matter how 'impossible' or even seemingly suicidal it may be. Be grateful, as I take nothing from your supply at all."
"No, no, no that is company fund !" Kal'tsit not want that money go waste though
"Hear the boss ? return back the "Supply" or you want to get yell 4 hour straight" Kal'tsit punch my armor which hear metal clanking, which is funny for me. she moan a little with hand swelling from the impact.
"Good job. Let's go, Kal'tsit. We need to go to Wei Yenwu to ask for compensation and other matters. For the rest of the Reunion members, listen to me. You are pawns for the Ursus Military expansion by Duke Kashchey to start a war between Ursus and Yan. Currently, Ursus has a crippling manpower shortage, while Yan has a Feranmut problem. It is wise for you to seek shelter with someone who can support your activist movement or flee to barren lands to recover. Without support, you will perish or defect. Work for us, and we will support you as our pioneers. We may be a pharmaceutical company, but we recruit talent from across the world, regardless of their background. As for the infected cause? The infected are scapegoats for the government's incompetence in solving people's problems because they are also dealing with many major issues hidden from the public. While this is not our concern due to the "black sheep" status of the infected, I offer you a job as a pioneer to protector of Infected just like Alina wished for, if you not want it, is okay, we have plenty of man power but i warn you in advance, your action in this movement will mark you as "pest" in this society as same as how they treat infected in this world. you should free them and let them go, our priority is now gaining trust for other"
"Doctor, we can't they will harm other"
"Is natural, we fight for humanity not for the country, currently Reunion is pawn of Ursus, you help them, we sided with Ursus and Yan not like that especially Lungmen is one of Independent jurisdiction of Yan Region. is natural for us to free them because we have compassion to understand their situation as some of us also infected. Even if Yan will questioned why we let them go, give them this question, When did all of you forsake Humanity ?" like a bomb dropped into land everyone was stunned with that remark but for other, i was seen as Theresa at beginning, is like Theresa was me and Me is Theresa, despite she already pass away, Theresa burning spirit will still with me.
Why Sarkaz forsake Theresa wish just enact revenge for the world.... it just stupid decision but Theresa respect it nonetheless as how kind and benevolence she was, she need Brutal Correction when she resurrected next.
my armor get punch by someone, i look at kal'tsit who blushes, hearing my wisdom and much more, seeing me as Theresa incarnation, but more like Theresa spirit of Vengeance.
"Guys, Old Grumpy Crybaby Feline blushes, take picture of her, hurry !" Old Needle pierce Kal'tsit body, grumpy needle pierce her body again, Crybaby was the last hammer ball fall on her head. Kal'tsit nerve appear then she instantly yell at me in intercom.
"Sorry guys, the boss is bad mood due little teasing, despite her Old Age, she maiden at heart, hey, hey, stop ! stop !" In the intercom they can hear kal'tsit yelling and punching my armor, while me try to hold her back as out banter become amusement for other, especially babel because is always we do in our spare time.
