Eternal Night

Chapter 596 I'm here to die... And what are you all here for?
Despite being wounded in the back and having his internal organs pierced, Wu Pifu remained unmoved, as steadfast as a diamond. With a single slash, he cut through Slaanesh's chest and waist.

The next instant, he didn't put down the knife, but instead raised it, spun it around, and twisted his body backward to lean, lift, and slash.

The opponent's arm was inside his internal organs! With such twisting, it was almost as if his own body was being torn apart. The villain behind him never expected Wu Pifu to be so fierce and resolute. His reaction was immediately half a beat slower. In that half-beat of slowness, he was hit hard by Wu Pifu. It was as if he had been hit by a planet. Half of the villain's body was spurting blood.

With its powerful spirit, it can withstand the might of Iron Mountain!

At the same time, Wu Pifu lifted his body upwards, immediately revealing most of the arm that had penetrated deep into his internal organs. He turned around and slashed, and Jianqi tried to pull the arm back, but it was too late. With a whoosh, the entire arm split open and was severed. It had just flown away and was already turning to ashes as it was falling.

In an instant, Tzeentch retreated wildly, and Slaanesh retreated wildly. Both were silent for a moment. Tzeentch's arm writhed and grew back, while Slaanesh's half of his body quickly turned to ashes and healed, and new flesh also grew rapidly.

Although both have revealed their essential power, they still carry the immense authority of the subspace and can still draw upon the essence of the subspace to heal. Compared to the previous illusionary forms, the amount of essence they are drawing upon now is more than a hundred times greater.

Seeing this, Wu Pifu chuckled, flicked the filth off his broken sword, and pointed it at the two demon gods, saying, "I've come to die, what are you here for? To make me laugh?"

As he spoke, he continued his pursuit of Slaanesh.

Slaanesh's beautiful face showed surprise, followed by a look that seemed to want to curse. However, Wu Bifu came quickly and fiercely. Even though the wound that pierced through his back and into his internal organs had not yet healed, and the healing speed was much slower than theirs, Wu Bifu still charged fiercely, as if he wanted to perish together with Slaanesh.

Slaanesh only had time to scream once before two sharp daggers materialized in his hands. With a flick of his wrist, he displayed an extremely powerful dagger fighting technique. Wu Pifu did not know its origin, but as a grandmaster of martial arts, he could tell at a glance that this dagger fighting technique must have been the culmination of countless martial artists over an unknown period of time, and had reached the pinnacle of skill in this dual-dagger fighting technique.

It must be that Slaanesh drew upon the countless souls of Eldar.

For a moment, the broken sword was brandished and the twin daggers were flipped, both pushing their skills to the peak. Various forces and angles beyond the imagination of ordinary people emerged one after another. However, in terms of power, Slaanesh was far inferior to Wu Pifu at the moment. With the superposition of multiple power zones, especially with the title of "commoner" ignoring defense within five steps, Slaanesh's twin daggers only collided with the broken sword a hundred times before countless fine cracks began to appear on them. Moreover, he was constantly being slashed and forced back by Wu Pifu.

"Tzeentch! You're just going to stand by and watch?!" Slaanesh roared in alarm.

Tzeentch seemed to snap out of his daze. He dared not abandon Slaanesh, even though they all wished for his death so they could absorb his warp authority. But if any one of them died, the other three would not survive either. Not only was the black hole there, but there were also the Emperor and Wu the Ant, two madmen who had come to their deaths. Most importantly…

They could all sense a deep, resonant message echoing in the subspace, a being connected to their very essence, yet far more magnificent and powerful, being forced to awaken. Although this awakening would lead to their demise, their very essence and imprint would remain intact and return. If they could endure this ordeal, countless millennia to come, they might have the chance to re-emerge in the subspace of a new universe. At that time, they could once again endlessly experience the pain and negativity of mortal life.

Therefore, the most crucial thing is the current situation. The death of any one of them will result in the great being that has awakened losing a key part. Moreover, it will make the great being under greater pressure from Wu Pifu and the Emperor before they awaken, making it more difficult to delay until the great being awakens.

Therefore, Tzeentch will surely come to the rescue!

As expected, just as Wu Pifu was about to shatter Slaanesh's twin daggers, Tzeentch flicked his hands, and a long staff of bird feathers appeared in his hands. Then he began to chant indescribable words and phrases. As he chanted, a vast amount of warp essence gathered and transformed into the indescribable things surging around him.

"Confinement!"

"erosion!"

"Illusion!"

"weaken!"

"Time to stop!"

……

As Tzeentch pointed his staff at Wu Pifu, hundreds of negative traits fell upon him, but vanished completely in an instant, leaving not a trace.

Unfortunately, Wu Pifu's Heroic Race transformation is anchored to the soul imprint of the Heroic Race Belcros, and the resulting ascendant characteristic is "existence." As long as the battle continues, he will be unaffected by any pollution, erosion, or weakening!

At this moment, Slaanesh's twin daggers were shattered by the broken blade with a snap. Slaanesh screamed and tried to escape, but Wu Pifu's blade was far faster than him. Several consecutive slashes cleaved his lower body into several pieces. He cried out in agony and fell to the ground and rolled. Then Wu Pifu followed the blade, slashing and striking with his palm. In a short moment, he had reduced a third of Slaanesh's body to ashes.

"Tzeentch!!" Slaanesh howled in terror, feeling the true taste of annihilation and death at this moment. Tzeentch also confirmed that Wu the Ant was unaffected by any negative influences. Although he didn't know why, he couldn't just stand by and watch Slaanesh be killed. He immediately became ruthless, spewing out essence and various filth from his beak, and even snapping his bird-speaking staff in two. In an instant, a surging, spiraling subspace storm erupted where Wu the Ant stood. Cracks in the subspace and material world began to appear around his body. In the next instant, a vast amount of light and heat, as well as an incomparably terrifying suction force, emanated from the cracks.

"Hehehe, didn't you boast that you've transcended the warp and only fear real damage?"

Tzeentch roared, "Fine, here's the real damage you'll suffer in the material world: pulsars, black holes—this is the power of your material universe! I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you..."

Beyond these subspace rifts, where Tzeentch has torn and anchored, lie terrifying pulsars and even more terrifying black holes. Such celestial bodies are not uncommon in this galaxy, but they are certainly not few and far between.

Even with the physical strength of the Hero Clan, they should theoretically be easily torn apart by these two forces representing the most violent forces in the universe. However, at this moment, whether it is the suction force within the event horizon of a black hole, the ultimate cosmic force that even light cannot escape, or the terrifying energy of the violent gamma rays emitted by the pulsar that can instantly dissolve celestial bodies, when they act on Wu Pifu, they cannot even shake the slightest bit of her plain little skirt.

Wu Pifu pressed down on Se Nie with one hand and wielded a knife in the other, hacking wildly at him. As he slashed, he turned back to look at Jian Qi and said, "That's it? That's it?"

"Then I'll give you a hint. If you want to really hurt me, really destroy me, please come within five steps of me. Beyond five steps, all your attacks are less than a tickle to me... If it were a real neutron star or black hole, I would indeed die if I got close, but the neutron star and black hole here are your ranged attacks. How far away do you think you are from me right now?"

Tzeentch was startled and remained silent, watching as Wu Pifu chopped at Slaanesh with each strike, causing Slaanesh's essence to dissipate. In despair, Slaanesh launched a counterattack against Wu Pifu, extending numerous arms, claws, strange limbs, snake tails, and various mouthparts from its flesh, frantically attacking and biting at Wu Pifu's arms that were holding it.

However, Wu Pifu remained unmoved, letting these attacks fall on him. Even if they tore his flesh and blood, shattered his bones, and shattered his internal organs, he did not budge. These injuries did not reduce his output. At this moment, he maintained a 100% negative mental backflow rate. Although he was not as good as the four evil gods, his healing speed was still astonishing.

He chopped down with his sword, neither dodging nor hesitating. His sword, his hand, his body, and his mind were all so firm and stable that they were terrifying. Tzeentch and Slaanesh could both sense his will that transcended the limits of life.

"I still stand by what I said..."

Wu Pifu murmured softly, but the sound, audible throughout the entire subspace, was amplified by the involuntary fear of the two evil gods.

"I'm here to die, what... what are you here for?"

Wu Pifu glanced back at Tzeentch. That look, that tone, that will, actually made Tzeentch tremble all over. Amidst Slaanesh's desperate voice, Tzeentch turned and left, instantly disappearing into the distance, light-years away. Wu Pifu ignored him, turned back, and slashed down again. With Slaanesh's final, extremely miserable howl, something was cleaved apart by this strike. Immediately afterward, an infinite number of souls burst forth from Slaanesh's body, gushing out like a fountain. However, they did not return to the warp, but instead, using his body as a fissure, surged back into the material universe.

For the first and only time in billions of years since the existence of the subspace, the essence of a soul that fell into the subspace has surged back into the material universe!

"...So weak, this is truly inhuman!"

As Wu Pifu watched the gradually dissipating Slaanesh, he stood up. Looking at the scene before him and the moment when Tzeentch had escaped, a sentence inexplicably surfaced in his mind, which he then uttered.

"You are not brave, humans are!"

Only by having fear, understanding fear, knowing the coming of death, yet still rushing forward without hesitation, can one possess true courage from the bottom of one's heart!
"No, we have courage among us! It's just that it's limited to me! Otherworlders, come, let's kill to our hearts' content!!"

At this moment, a loud and furious roar was heard. Wu Pifu turned his head and saw a thousand-meter-tall blood-red giant. It was neither deformed nor abnormal, nor terrifying. It was covered in blood-red spiritual light and held a giant brass axe. However, there was half of a struggling bird-shaped demon god on its chest.

Khorne!

It appeared out of nowhere, defeated Tzeentch, and is now devouring and digesting him!

Khorne roared and strode toward Wu Pifu. He had already transformed his core domain into his true form. At this moment, having devoured Jianqi, he gradually grew larger with each step. Soon, he became a colossal figure of ten thousand meters, and with indescribable terrifying power, he cleaved down with an axe.

Wu Pifu chuckled.

"...You're too big."

As he spoke, the broken sword moved upwards, aiming to strike the blade of the giant brass axe.
