Eternal Night

Chapter 430: Extremely Enhanced Random Draw

(PS: I'm back home now, and I'm very tired, so I can only update once, using the pitiful two chapters I had saved. I just recovered from my illness recently, so I really don't have any saved chapters. 6000 words, I'll resume three updates tomorrow.)
On the slope of a huge mountain, two prophets of the Eldar looked at the hellish battlefield in the distance. They did not hesitate at all, even though the intensity of the battlefield before their eyes far exceeded their expectations. Even if they put all their existing forces into it, it would probably only be a small part of the force. Even the Psychic Titans they brought as trump cards would probably only be able to produce the same amount of power as the more than 20 Human Empire Titans and Chaos Titans in the field.

Even so, they still resolutely boarded the invisible vehicles and began to move towards the battlefield... There, the greatest hope of their race lies!

At the same time, Wu Xianxiao panted and chopped off the last demon with a knife. There were no more Four Gods demons in the trench area within his sight.

But in contrast, the ground was littered with human remains and corpses, and countless humans and Space Marines were killed... They used their own bodies to fight against countless Four God Demons, which gave Wu Xianxiao the opportunity to return to the rescue and prevented the entire defensive position from being directly killed through.

But the price was so high that even Wu Xianxiao was shocked.

On the entire front, in addition to the original Astra Militarum, Planetary Defense Force, and militia, at least 80% of them were killed, almost all officers, political commissars, and non-commissioned officers were killed. In addition, the Space Marines who landed on the ground during this period were killed in no less than 5,000 battles, the Sisters Chapter was killed in no less than 100,000 battles, the Mechanical Skitarii were killed in no less than 50,000 battles, and the hastily arrived Crusades were killed in no less than 200,000 battles...

If this number of casualties were seen in any other context or in any other world, Wu Xianxiao would definitely think that someone was bragging. In just an hour or so, millions of people were killed in one battlefield, and in just one position, more than 500,000 people were killed. This was simply an exaggerated boast.

But now, he truly witnessed this tragic hell that was completely beyond his imagination. Lives were erased and consumed like numbers. The most terrifying thing was that these people who bravely moved forward would not even leave their names. Even all traces of their existence would disappear...

Because of all this, Wu Xianxiao felt a deep sense of depression in his heart.

There were many more of the Four God Demons, scattered throughout the battlefield, but the macro cannons that fell from the sky, the remaining Titans on the ground, the Space Marines that kept raining down, the Mechanical Crusaders, the Sisters Chapter, and the unimaginably large number of Crusaders were able to resist them, but they were just resisting them.

Apart from heavy vehicles, Titan machines, and Space Marines that can barely cause damage to the Four God Demons, all other weapons are as weak as paper in front of this pure chaos power. Any demon can kill hundreds or thousands of people while suffering minimal damage itself.

This was a battle between mortals and supernatural beings, but the morale was high on the mortal side, while the four demon gods were completely unconscious. Although they fought fiercely, their essence was no different from that of wild beasts. Therefore, the entire battlefield was dominated by the high-morale mortals who were fighting to the death against the claws and teeth of the supernatural beasts.

There was no retreat, no cowardice, no begging for mercy. Wu Xianxiao saw not only ten teams being slaughtered by the four demon gods, but even if there was only one person left, he still fought bravely forward until all members of that team were killed in battle.

All this made Wu Xianxiao even more silent.

He arrived at the command center deep in the trenches.

This place had already been massacred by the Four God-Devils, and the ground was covered with blood and corpses. In the field, more than thirty Space Marines in grey power armor were confronting Magnus and Mortarion, and Angron's head was protected behind him by two Daemon Primarchs.

An old man in Inquisitor's attire stood between the grey power-armoured Space Marines and the Demon Primarch. He was wounded in many places and one arm was missing, but he stood straight, and his aura even overshadowed the group of Space Marines.

Wu Xianxiao ignored them. His arrival made all the Space Marines in grey power armor look at him. Everyone was examining him, but he just stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pushed. More than thirty Space Marines over two and a half meters tall were pushed back nearly a hundred meters. The force was like an electric shock and they almost fell down. They could only control their bodies with all their strength to avoid embarrassment. Everyone had horror on their faces. The two leading Space Marines in grey power armor looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating something.

Wu Xianxiao still said nothing. He walked up to the old man and looked at Kesiya, whose body was broken into two pieces at his feet but who was not dead yet.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed Wu Xianxun's gaze and sighed, "She is very lucky. She died a worthy death!"

The old man looked up at the battlefield.

This was the most comfortable and hopeful scene he had ever seen in his three hundred years of life.

The souls of all humans who died in the battle were quietly dissipating. Some of them had a confused look on their faces, while others had a peaceful look on their faces. There were also a small number of souls with psychic powers who still retained consciousness and knew clearly that they were dead. Then when they confirmed that they and the souls around them were gradually dissipating, their faces were filled with ecstasy, and they opened their mouths and silently shouted "Emperor's blessing", or "New God's blessing", "New God's immortality".

There has never been a moment like this that made the old man so firm in his belief. If for nothing else, even if only for himself to be able to enjoy such peace when he dies, he is willing to give up everything he has.

"What?"

Wu Xianxiao replied in confusion, then he took out a broken pocket watch from his personal space.

The next scene made everyone feel like they were facing a great enemy, especially the Space Marines in grey power armor. They didn't care about the numbness in their bodies, and each raised their power swords, power broadswords, blessed bolters and the like, and began to frantically examine everything around them, including Wu Xianxiao and the Grand Inquisitor.

"Suicide watch."

"When the pointer moves backward, time will rewind for everything within five square meters. The longer the pointer moves backward, the longer the time rewind will last. The maximum rewind time can reach is thirty seconds."

"Negative effect. Every time the pointer moves backward, it will move forward. Every second it moves forward will make the holder want to commit suicide. The suicide psychology level ranges from level 1 to level 30, with level 30 being the most serious. At this moment, unless one has resistance to the soul sublimation attribute, any mortal will seek to commit suicide by any means."

Everyone saw that Catheria's body, which was split into two, was quickly closing together, and then the blood, internal organs, and bones quickly flowed back to heal. In less than fifteen seconds, she was restored to a complete person, only seriously injured, but still alive.

"I… No! I…"

Kesia touched her intact body anxiously, her face showing fear and even despair. Then she subconsciously picked up the pistol and shot herself in the head. But before she raised the pistol, her arm was grabbed by Wu Xianxiao.

"No, you're going to do that again!?"

Wu Xianxiao has despaired of this incomprehensible world. His confusion index has dropped to 120,000. He really doesn't want his head to turn into pure tofu!

At this time, the demon head Angron said in a hoarse voice: "...This is not the power of the warp, this is not psychic power!"

Everyone was stunned. Kessia closed her eyes immediately. The Grand Inquisitor Anris Gus beside her was also carefully sensing everything around her. Two people walked out of the gray power armored space warriors. They were the two leaders. A dim light flashed in their eyes. The closer they were to Wu Xianxiao, the weaker the light became. Until they got closer, they were no different from ordinary people.

"...That's right."

The two Space Marines said at the same time: "This is not the filthy power of the Warp!"

Everyone looked at Wu Xianxiao at the same time. They saw Wu Xianxiao retract his arms and take off his tattered and torn clothes. They saw that there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on his body. A large amount of shrapnel and shell casings were squeezed out of his skin and muscles. Then his flesh and blood began to heal quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, there was no longer a single scar on his body.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the equipment of the two grey power armored Space Marines. There were a large number of inscriptions, sculptures, and symbols engraved and worn on their equipment, and these things were just staying quietly on their armor at this time, neither burning nor brightening, and there was no golden light or the like.

(Is he really an immortal?)
Everyone present, including the three Demon Primarchs, had this thought at the same time, and then there was light in their eyes.

The scene of Kesiya recovering quickly from death just now was firmly engraved in their minds.

Immortals are individuals who are born extremely occasionally among humans. From ancient times to the present, there are probably not even ten Immortals. The Emperor is an Immortal, and very likely the strongest one.

The immortals are immortal. Even if their bodies are completely destroyed and every atom is crushed, the immortals can recover and heal after an indeterminate period of time, and then return to the material universe in perfect condition.

Everyone present knew this clearly, including the thirty or so specially equipped Space Marines. What they didn't know was that the Immortals could actually give their immortality to another life?
Or is it that only this immortal can do it? Just as the Emperor's psychic ability is the limit of the material universe and the Emperor's uniqueness, this ability to give immortality to another life is the uniqueness of this immortal?
At once, too much information appeared in the minds of everyone present, and this information was too complicated. The fanaticism of various religions permeated the minds of these people. The emotions perceived by Wu Xianxiao became very chaotic. He could only perceive the meaning of immortals, restoration, immortality, emperors and the rest were all fanatical emotions.

He didn't care and just walked out of the trench holding the half-broken Heroic Spirit Crusher. The main reason he came back this time was to save Kasiya. He just saw with his own eyes that Kasiya was split in two by a claw of a Four Gods Demon. Although this Four Gods Demon was hacked to pieces by the gray power armored Space Marines who came over, they couldn't save Kasiya. Her wounds had been burned by the pure power of chaos. Even if the pure power of chaos was extinguished, the breath of destruction would kill her body. There was no way to save her on this battlefield.

But now, she was resurrected, and it was a perfect resurrection without any involvement of the power of the warp. This made Caesia dazed, and the people around her were in deep thought. After a while, Caesia's expression regained its calmness. She half-knelt down and said: "I understand my mission. Now is not the time for me to rest. Please allow me to continue to fight for the Emperor and the Empire with this body..."

Inexplicably, Wu Xianxiao seemed to hear the regret in these words. He resisted the urge to think too much about it. Anyway, with the nature of this inexplicable world, there would always be more inexplicable reasons.

Wu Xianxiao was about to continue to kill those Four God Demons. Now his mission points had risen to more than 96,000. He only needed to kill a few thousand Four God Demons to reach 100,000 points. Each of these wholesale Four God Demons was only worth one or two points, which was not worth much, but fortunately there were enough of them. At this time, a space warrior in gray power armor walked out. He knelt on one knee to Wu Xianxiao and said, "Your Excellency the Living Saint, we have received divine inspiration and come here to listen to your orders. It is extremely dangerous here. Please leave this star field as soon as possible. In addition... the Supreme Grand Master is in the solar system and has not arrived for a while. This is really our sin of negligence!"

Wu Xianxiao thought about some of the "common sense" of this world that Kesiya and the three demon primarchs had told him. As he thought, he said, "Grey Knights?"

More than thirty Grey Knights half-knelt at the same time.

In fact, the reason why they were so respectful was not only because of God's revelation. Although it was God's revelation, the Grey Knights, who were accustomed to doubting everything, also had to consider whether it was a conspiracy of the Warp. They had to confirm the truth with their own eyes, and now they had confirmed that Wu Xianxiao was indeed the Immortal, and a human who had nothing to do with the power of the Warp.

The immortals are very special. They are a special kind of existence that only exists among humans. There are no immortals in any other race except humans. And the immortals have another characteristic, that is, they will never be corrupted or corrupted by the subspace. As long as it is confirmed that they are immortals, then the safety and uniqueness of Wu Xianxiao can be confirmed. What's more, they came here and clearly saw "hope", so their attitude is so respectful.

It's not just the immortals, but all over the battlefield. After the death of millions of people, the souls of those dead people are all dissipating peacefully, instead of falling into the subspace and being captured, toyed with, and tortured by demons...

This is a miracle that can only be created by the power of the emperor, but it is happening to the human being before them, so they are willing to honor Wu Xianxiao as a living saint.

Wu Xianxiao looked at these Gray Knights with interest and said, "So do I understand that you are going to burn or kill all these brave soldiers, or even blow up the entire planet?"

The leading Grey Knight bowed his head and said, "This is a misunderstanding, Living Saint. We do not shy away from our duties, nor do we shy away from all the measures we have taken, and we will not explain the necessity of this. But here, at this time, we will not kill any loyal soldiers, because they have not been corrupted, and they will not be corrupted. As long as you are here, this is your holy place."

Wu Xianxiao said "oh" and was about to step over the Grey Knights and continue to the battlefield. At this time, the leading Grey Knight stopped Wu Xianxiao again and said, "Living Saint, please wait a moment. We have brought the oracle."

Wu Xianxiao showed a mocking expression. He shook his head and said, "The Emperor is a human being! Enough with you bunch of fanatics..."

The Grey Knight leader neither refuted nor got angry, but said calmly: "He cannot talk or meet with you in person, so he can only tell you the most important news through our mouths. Because we will never fall or be corrupted, this news will not be known by the four...He said, please don't get 100,000 points immediately. It will certainly make you safe, but you will also lose your most important opportunity. You might as well consume points to gain enhancement."

"What?"

Wu Xianxiao was confused. He only knew the word "integral", which was not something that the living beings in this world should know.

After a long while, Wu Xianxiao suddenly asked, "Mastermind, what kind of enhancement can I exchange for mission points?"

"Judgment in progress... Judgment completed, citizen Wu Xianxiao, considering that you can complete the main quest in this dream world in a short period of time, I hereby provide the following enhancement options."

"One, spend one million points (can be borrowed, interest-free) to enhance the random draw items you obtain in this dream world, which can greatly increase the chance of obtaining high-value items."

Wu Xianxiao waited for a long time, but didn't hear the main brain mention the second option. He couldn't help but complain: "So this is the only option? And if I didn't ask, you wouldn't even tell me that you have this function?"

"..."

Naturally, the mastermind did not respond.

Wu Xianxiao fell into deep thought.

One million points... this is simply an exaggerated number. The main brain can certainly lend it to him in advance without interest, but by this calculation, he would be in the negative 900,000 points, which means that he must obtain 1.01 million points to complete the main task and escape from the dream world. This is inconsistent with his plan.

If this is really an oracle given by the Emperor, then it means... the Emperor does not want him to leave the dream world too quickly, or is afraid that he will not come back after leaving?

In short, this is an extremely difficult decision. Either he gets 100,000 points and has the right to escape at any time, which greatly guarantees his life safety. Or he takes a gamble and gets a 0.5 or even a 0.3 dream world-level precious item.

And from the description of the main brain, this opportunity is rare and not available to every world that is pulled.

"...Mastermind, please request to spend one million points to enhance the random draw reward."

Wu Xianxiao thought about it for a long time, especially when he thought about his original purpose of building a level seven shelter.

As the saying goes, if you take one step back, you will take all the steps back. If he gives up here, it is unclear whether there will be such high-value items to be extracted in the future. Moreover, his morale and courage to move forward will also be affected.

It’s no big deal, it’s just the root of the 0.3 dream world level… He’s not even afraid of the root of the 0.2 dream world, so why would he be afraid of this! ?

"Judgment in progress... Judgment completed, enhancement confirmed. Citizen Wu Xianxiao's current mission points are negative 900,3217. Please repay within 300 days."

Wu Xianxiao listened to the voice and immediately said, "Mastermind, use the rewards from the first-level shelter to conduct a random draw in this world."

"Judgment in progress... Judgment completed."

"The reward has been drawn, the Nodos Contract Crystal (fragment)."

A crystal with numerous cracks that was almost on the verge of breaking appeared in front of Wu Xianxiao. He reached out and grasped the palm-sized crystal and felt a slight beating sensation.

Wu Xianxiao's mind moved, and he immediately said: "Master Brain, designate this world as a digitizable information template world, and at the same time, determine the Nodos Contract Crystallization."

"Noldos Contract Crystal (fragment)."

"...At the end of the Third Epoch, the Silver Clan of the previous Epoch failed, just like the Golden Clan of the First Epoch. The enemy was too powerful. It was a terror beyond the comprehension of all life, pure chaos, and its eight directions...But future visitors, when you hear this message, please remember the moment when we, a group of people falsely called heroes, punched the gods with our mortal bodies!"

"It can be used. The user will merge with the residual soul of the hero clan and transform into the original form of the hero clan. The output of the original form of the hero clan will be determined by the user's physique, spirit, and soul, ranging from 50% to 500%. It can be superimposed with the user's own strength and the power of the user's title."

"Number of remaining uses: One, can be recharged with the essence of the sublimated body, can be repaired with the essence of the root."

"Negative effects: Every time you use the Nodos Contract Crystal, you will suffer the negative invasion of the lost civilization. This negative invasion will invade the user's sea of ​​consciousness and the spiritual level. If you cannot resist, you will become a fighting madman who has lost his own personality and consciousness, and madly destroy everything until you die of exhaustion."

Wu Xianxiao held the broken crystal in his hand, and his mind began to frantically recall something he vaguely remembered.

It was a part of an animation that he vaguely remembered watching before. It seemed to be called Heroic Age...

Oh, right! The hero clan, the Nodos...

A few bits of content from the animation gradually emerged in his memory. A mechanical humanoid several dozen meters tall, with a punch that could blow up a mountain, a move that could split the earth, and a full-strength burst that could easily tear apart stars, or even more terrifying celestial bodies...

Wu Xianxiao's eyes became brighter and brighter, then he put the Nodos Contract Crystal into his personal space, and then looked up at the sky.

There was a boiling flame in the space, just like the flames and blood on the earth, the whole world seemed to be burning.

"Four Gods, you..."

"Will it bleed?"
