Eternal Night

Chapter 564 Wu Pifu's Gaze!

"Hey, is anyone there? I'm coming in."

A voice traveled clearly from outside the fortress into its interior.

This is a secret fortress set up by the Zoroastrian Church, far away from cities and any gathering places. In principle, unless it is an insider or a high-ranking member of the Zoroastrian Church, it should not be easily known to outsiders.

This secret fortress was the Zoroastrian cult's experimental base.

Although the superhumans in Zoroastrianism are all priests whose superhuman powers come from the gods, this does not mean that the superhumans in the church do not want to obtain stronger, more, and unique superhuman powers of their own.

Therefore, similar secret experimental bases were built, and every year the church would devote a lot of manpower and resources to them, as well as... numerous experimental subjects.

Today, these high-ranking Zoroastrian superhumans finally understand the despair and fear of being sent into this dark and sunless fortress, where they were among countless experimental subjects.

As the voice spoke, the fortress's metal gate, along with all the magic, blessings, and divine revelations attached to it, shattered with a deafening roar, offering no resistance whatsoever. Then, a two-meter-tall youth strode in, saying as he entered, "Oh, nobody's here? Then I'll start the slaughter."

He didn't care about the situation of the people inside the fortress. Under the super brain's emotional perception, no one could escape. He immediately raised his fist and then lowered it. About a third of the people in the field were blown into pieces. Another third began to wail and frantically dismantle their own flesh and internal organs. Only a third of the people remained standing there, completely unharmed.

But that doesn’t mean they are good people. In fact, according to Wu Pifu’s emotional perception and what he saw, there was no one here except for the experimental subjects!

They're all demons in human skin!
The experimental subjects within the fortress were divided into several different categories, including those whose sensitivity to divine information was enhanced after being skinned, those who were healed through prayer after being burned, those who were forcibly transformed into immortal beings, and those who underwent inhuman modifications to their bodies and souls...

All the experimental subjects here were constantly subjected to inhuman torture. Wu Pifu only sensed it for a moment and knew that the greatest mercy he could show them was to kill them immediately. Any other form of assistance would only increase their suffering.

So after Wu Pifu dealt with one-third of the least sinful non-human superhumans and one-third of the most sinful non-human superhumans, he dragged out a bunch of chains from behind him. Regardless of how the remaining non-human superhumans in the fortress struggled, attacked, or tried to escape, he simply went forward, knocked them unconscious, pierced their collarbones with chains, and then moved on to the next one.

After doing all this, Wu Pifu's iron chains had pierced through more than forty superhumans, plus hundreds of non-superhuman mortal lackeys. He stood silently at the entrance of the fortress, slightly clasped his hands towards the inside, then stood still, unleashed his inner strength, and punched forward. The entire fortress collapsed in response, and the interior was also blown apart. From the outside, it looked like a pile of architectural ruins, but the inside had been completely pulverized.

A few minutes later, Wu Pifu led a large group of superhumans back to Baghdad. They saw the sacred fire burning brightly in the city, with superhumans or lackeys being thrown into it every moment. Beside the sacred fire were endless elite cavalry, elite camel soldiers, elite armored soldiers... In short, almost all of the Abbasid Caliphate's most elite troops were stationed there.

We had no choice but to stockpile them here because Wu Pifu is a real killer!

One who can fly at a speed of at least 4,000 meters per second, whose blade can slash across 10,000 meters, and who can easily annihilate an army of 100,000 on a plain... not in a rout, but by chasing and killing them one by one, and who is invulnerable to blades and spears. In front of him, the extraordinary beings of this world are no different from ants.

After this thing descended upon Baghdad, in less than two minutes, only a few kneeling priests remained at the Zoroastrian headquarters. Five minutes later, the Baghdad royal palace collapsed, and the Abbasid king knelt and surrendered. Before him stood the Abbasid Caliphate's elite guard, roughly ten thousand strong, which was completely annihilated.

It's fair to say that within minutes, the entire city of Baghdad was completely subdued.

Of course, the Abbasid Caliphate was also a superpower in this world. In particular, the Zoroastrian religion truly possessed extraordinary power, and its national strength was much greater than that of the Abbasid Caliphate in real history. Apart from lacking the Golden Dragon of National Fortune, the Abbasid Caliphate was actually much stronger than the Song Dynasty. In addition to secular military power, it also had a unified organization of extraordinary individuals.

Although Wu Pifu directly destroyed the Zoroastrian headquarters and caused the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate to fall, the Zoroastrian forces remained strong, and the armies of the other cities in the Abbasid Caliphate were equally powerful. In fact, his massacre did not have much impact, and he did not even kill the Abbasid king. The people's hearts were not truly convinced.

But... so what?
This is merely the 0.7 Dream World, an upper-level dream world where the source can only slightly penetrate and even the power projection cannot easily erode it. A giant boar demon with three hundred years of cultivation is already the top combat force in this world.

At this time, Wu Pifu could crush a wild boar monster with a single finger. The world's superhuman strength and numbers were meaningless in front of him.

So what happened next was very simple. Based on the intelligence provided by the Zoroastrians who had defected to him, and with his emotional perception, he didn't even need the Zoroastrians to gather their forces to attack. He directly went to each stronghold, temple, altar, city... wherever there were Zoroastrian superhumans, he would go there and plunder them.

In just three days, the Zoroastrian Church, the strongest supernatural organization in the region, collapsed. As for secular forces, it was simple: he selected a group of soldiers most deeply influenced by the Zoroastrian Church, let them set up battle formations, gather their men, and become enraged and determined. Then, he arrived that very day and within half an hour, he had routed the entire army. However, they still could not escape, and in the end, all the survivors knelt in submission. Not to mention their martial prowess, even their backbone and will were directly broken.

In just three days, the offerings at the Baghdad Holy Fire have exceeded 100,000, with almost all Zoroastrian deities contributing to them.

It must be said that superhumans are perfect as sacrifices; one person is worth at least a hundred ordinary people. So even though the sacred fire was visibly weakening with the collapse of the Zoroastrian Church, it still burned wildly under the continuous influx of sacrifices.

But... the gates of heaven have still not opened...

Wu Pifu landed, flung the iron chains around himself, and landed among a pile of extraordinary beings, lackeys, and mortals whose bodies he had imprisoned. He frowned as he looked at the sacred fire and asked the Zoroastrian who was directing the people to throw in the offerings.

"Hasn't the link to Ahura Mazda's divine kingdom been activated yet?" This Zoroastrian was the very person who had knelt and offered his allegiance in the Song Dynasty, providing a grand sacrificial ceremony. He trembled and immediately knelt down, shouting, "Your Majesty, please don't be hasty! This is a covenant between humans and gods. Once it's made, there are consequences. The current situation is that the other side wants to sever it, but how could it possibly be in time? It's simply that the offerings aren't enough yet. Once the offerings are sufficient, the gates of heaven will be forcibly opened!"

Wu Pifu didn't speak, but silently sensed the energy emanating from the sacred fire.

Although faint, he did sense a vast torrent, which was like both fire and ice, both light and darkness, a twisted mixture of two contradictory things.

This was indeed the aura of the Root. He had dealt with the Root more than once, and he would never be wrong about that.

"Mastermind, can we pinpoint the coordinates of the source now?" Wu Pifu asked again.

"Judging in progress...judging complete."

Okay, the same old formula, the same old tone. This artificial stupidity has never changed.

Wu Pifu gazed silently at the burning sacred fire, then looked at the remaining offerings. He thought for a moment and said, "It feels like... there aren't enough offerings."

The Zoroastrian trembled, and so did everyone around him who heard his words. Whether they were cavalrymen, foot soldiers, or the few remaining Christians, they all felt a tremor deep in their souls.

One of the Christians immediately shouted, "Honorable God! Honorable God! Besides these extraordinary beings, there are also many nobles who don't treat ordinary people as human beings as sacrifices, and many noble families with their own armies. There are definitely enough sacrifices!"

Several remaining Zoroastrians immediately glared angrily at the Christian who had spoken. Seeing that Wu Pifu remained silent, they grew anxious. The leader of the Zoroastrians shouted, "Your Majesty, there are many extraordinary individuals in the Western Christian Church. Moreover, they oppress the good and never treat ordinary people as human beings. They frequently resort to heresy trials and have long imposed heavy taxes. There are many more over there!"

Wu Pifu nodded silently. He didn't say anything, but turned around and left, disappearing into the air in the blink of an eye.

Wu Pifu was acutely aware of the depravity of these two sects, but he couldn't be bothered to care. Since he had vowed to vanquish demons, he truly meant it. If the Zoroastrian sect didn't have enough superhumans, then the Cross sect would inevitably suffer the same fate...

Three days later, a large group of Zoroastrian superhumans turned into firewood, followed by another large group of Christian superhumans who wailed and also turned into firewood. And perhaps in retaliation for the previous "advice" from the Christians, the leading Zoroastrians began to throw people into the fire like madmen, regardless of whether you were a bishop, a cardinal, a cardinal, or even the pope.

Finally, perhaps due to the blessing of the sacrifice of the heretical figures, the contradictory sacred fire, which was shrinking on one hand and burning fiercely on the other, could no longer be stopped from rising higher and higher. Its flames shot up to hundreds of meters into the sky, and finally, a faintly visible gate to the Kingdom of Light was burned out in the sky.

"Mortal! Mortal!! How dare you seek your own death!! I, I..."

A resounding voice echoed from the sky, and Wu Pifu immediately shouted, "Mainframe! Determine the dream world where this thing is located! Mark its coordinates!"

"Judging...judging...judging complete, 500,000 points deducted, one-time coordinate point record information obtained..."

Wu Pifu immediately opened his personal information panel and, sure enough, saw that a new coordinate had been added to the Dream World Imprint line.

"Dream World Imprint: Coordinates of the Artificial Human World, Coordinates of the Dream World of The Legend of the Condor Heroes (each penetration requires one million points), Coordinates of the Paradise of Light (Asura Hell), Location progress one percent."

Wu Pifu frowned and asked, "Mainframe, what does 'one percent of the positioning progress' mean?"

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete. The source is located in the Zero Point Three Dream World. Based on the characteristics of the Zero Point Three Dream World and the source, multi-dimensional calculations are required to locate it. This number will increase as citizen Wu Pifu's strength progresses and the number of dream worlds he experiences."

Wu Pifu finally felt relieved. He stroked his chin and said, "In other words..."

"This is the level of attention I, Wu Pifu, am getting, right?"

The resounding voice from the heavens remained loud, but Wu Pifu inexplicably sensed a sense of fear and unease within it. In particular, the two judgments made by the main brain seemed to have had a tremendous impact on this source that he could not yet comprehend. In short, after the two judgments ended, the sacred fire began to wither rapidly at a visible speed, and no matter how many sacrifices the fire worshippers offered, it was all in vain.

Suddenly, the gates of heaven shattered, and what flowed out afterward was not light, but blood... blood as black as flames.

With a loud bang, the sacred flame was extinguished, the gates of heaven vanished, and the resounding voice emitted an extremely venomous curse. Wu Pifu, however, calmly proclaimed to the heavens, "Did you hear that? Ahura Mazda, wait for me. I will slowly watch over you, slowly tear you apart, and then..."

"I'll kill your whole family!"
