Eternal Night

Chapter 692 I am your father
"...Task System, you want to die, don't you?"

Wu Pifu smiled very gently, clutching the prize he had just won in his hand...

That's right!

"As expected," I drew the Magical Girl's Heart Flower (Broken)!
Damn it!

Wu Pifu had a bad feeling when he saw the first item in the reward pool. His intuition was warning him, and sure enough, he drew that item again!
Is this just messing with him?
The newly released reward pool contains at least a hundred prizes, among which he even saw the Absolute Spacetime Anchoring Protocol!
As a result, out of hundreds of prizes, this is what happened!?

Wu Pifu grew angrier the more he thought about it, his murderous intent surging uncontrollably. Gao Changgong and the others who were rushing over couldn't help but stop in their tracks, and even Amadei and Xu Shilan looked uneasy.

At that moment, the main computer's voice suddenly rang out as well.

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete. Citizen Wu Pifu has discovered a Magical Girl's Heart Flower (Broken). Do you wish to merge it with an existing Magical Girl's Heart Flower (Broken)?"

Wu Pifu was stunned for a moment. His murderous intent and anger gradually subsided. After a few seconds of contemplation, he nodded.

"...Fine, I'm telling you, Mastermind, you're really out of your mind. And I'm pretty sure that you, or this thing that's formed from your fragments, have secretly altered the lottery odds, right?"

Wu Pifu muttered to himself, while the mainframe continued to speak in a monotonous voice in his mind.

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete. Confirmation of merging two Magical Girl Heart Flower (Broken) pieces. Merging complete."

"Magical Girl's Heart Flower (Crack)".

"...She wanted to save her world, but the overwhelming malice destroyed everything. She cried out to the heavens, but the greedy maw beneath her continued to devour mountains of corpses and seas of blood..."

"...A dark, blood-red light emanated from the cracks, and the heart flower, which was beginning to heal, gradually revealed the terrifying truth."

"When the holder picks up the Heart Flower and places it on their heart, making a heart shape with their palms, the power of the Heart Flower will be activated, infusing their own consciousness and emotions, and entering a magical girl transformation state. Currently, the transformation can last for thirty minutes, with a recovery time of sixty hours. In the transformation state, the Heart Weapon can be stabilized, repaired, and sublimated."

Wu Pifu silently confirmed the attributes of the merged Heart Flower, and then felt somewhat satisfied.

This magical girl's heart flower is actually very strong. It is an indispensable part of his current strongest state's multi-layered judgment, after all, it is an extra multi-layered domain.

Moreover, the key point is that during his magical girl transformation, he can extract his inner vision to form weapons. The weapon he has extracted so far has spatial attributes. It's already such a high-end weapon, which is incredibly awesome and extraordinary.

Most importantly, the Heart Flower that magical girls transform into is still in a broken state. Wu Pifu wasn't sure before, thinking that the difference between this broken state and the Nodos Contract Crystal that heroes transform into was just in the number of uses and the side effects. But now it seems that the Heart Flower has been repaired and its transformation effect is also enhanced.

The fact that the Heart Weapon can exist stably is worth the price of admission. This means that in addition to the three existing functions, his Death-Defying Greatsword also has a space-shattering effect, which can be considered a finishing blow in many situations!
Regardless, Wu Pifu finally swallowed his anger and put away the Heart Flower. Then he stared at the chest of the follower next to Gao Changgong.

The lackey, who had been quite excited, turned increasingly pale, and he even instinctively clutched his chest.

Gao Changgong finally snapped out of his daze. He rushed to Wu Pifu's side, looked him up and down, and then grabbed his hand, saying, "My goodness, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, the President and Liang Min would have started their final battle! And what's more, your little animals are going crazy! The birds are pecking at people! Alright, stop looking. I'll go get Haocheng so you can see as much as you want..."

As he spoke, Gao Changgong slowly turned his gaze to the other two. When he saw Amadeus, he naturally looked away, but when he saw Xu Shilan, his eyes widened in disbelief. He blinked several times to confirm, and his mouth gradually opened wide, almost making a sound.

"Xu, Xu, Xu..."

Xu Shilan smoothed her hair and smiled generously, saying, "Uncle Gao, don't you recognize me?"

Gao Changgong immediately blushed and said, "Miss Xu, didn't you already..."

Xu Shilan smiled gently: "Yes, I died before, but Wu Pifu resurrected me because I was his companion."

"They're resurrected! They're resurrected! They're resurrected... Wait, wait a minute? Resurrected??" Gao Changgong was speaking with great joy, but then his eyes suddenly widened again, his mouth opened once more, and he abruptly turned to look at Wu Pifu and said, "You resurrected them both!? How did you resurrect them? Through the time reversal of the Level 7 Shelter!?"

Wu Pifu nodded, and Gao Changgong exclaimed in surprise, immediately shouting to his henchmen beside him, "Don't move! No, I didn't tell you not to move! Quick, go and call the President right now! Tell him that Wu Pifu has returned, but he brought two people back with him!" The henchmen were startled, but it was the first time they had ever seen such a composed man like Gao Changgong act so suddenly. They didn't dare to delay and immediately ran towards the Presidential Palace.

Wu Pifu immediately spoke up: "Hey you... can I sell that badge on your chest? I don't have many points right now, so I'll owe you some. I'll give you the points when I return from the Dream World next time, with interest."

The underling was even more astonished. He subconsciously pointed to himself, then to the badge on his chest. Without waiting for Gao Changgong to speak, he immediately took it off and tossed it to Wu Pifu, saying respectfully, "Mr. Wu, you can take it if you want. It's not worth any points. It's just a little gadget I found in the Zero Point Nine Dream World. It seems to have some mystical properties, but it doesn't have any functions."

Wu Pifu took the badge, sensed it slightly, and confirmed that there was indeed a tiny bit of extraordinary feeling inside, but there was no divine power, let alone root-level pollution. From the senses, the aura inside had a dark feeling, similar to the Mother's Ring, but it was more about flesh and blood, horror, nightmares, and indescribable distortion. People who wear this badge for too long will often have nightmares. Of course, this applies to ordinary people. If it is for extraordinary people, this thing can slightly improve their mental resilience. Although they will still have nightmares, the effect is very weak. So this is why the person in front of him is wearing the badge.

"Five thousand points, I owe you." As Wu Pifu spoke, he squeezed his hand, and the entire badge immediately turned into powder, along with the trace of extraordinary aura within it.

Gao Changgong immediately chimed in with dissatisfaction, "I've already given it, it's no big deal, Xiao Song, hurry up and go!"

The henchmen exchanged glances, bowed to Wu Pifu, and then quickly ran towards the Presidential Palace.

Wu Pifu asked in confusion, "I'm back, but Chu Minghao couldn't sense me?"

Gao Changgong said irritably, "Do you think I'm joking with you? He and Liang Min are having a fight. If you had come back any later, the entire Land of Redemption would probably have been shattered. It's normal that their supercomputers cancel each other out and can't sense you."

Wu Pifu understood, but he also knew that if he hadn't returned, the two of them certainly wouldn't have shattered the Broken Land; they would just have drifted further apart as a result.

Gao Changgong then said to Wu Pifu, "You absolutely mustn't move! That time travel is a trap! President Chu Minghao had already established a Level 7 shelter. He told several of us teams and guilds that frequently go down into the dream world that if we encounter any time travel items or dream worlds, we must escape immediately and not touch them. Those things are traps. Are you... are you alright?"

Wu Pifu knew all this. He had already completed the time reversal, so how could he not know that the absolute spacetime concept was actually a trap, and the relative spacetime concept was an iron trap?

To put it simply, both absolute and relative spacetime perspectives are the root cause, and both are the strongest level of root cause at the zero-point level. This kind of root cause has completely eroded a domain of rules.

In other words, time travel actually takes place within these two fundamental entities!

However, at this point in time, Chu Minghao had not yet performed time reversal, so he only said that time reversal was a trap, without revealing its specific details.

Amadeus, standing to the side, said nonchalantly, "The time reversal has already been completed. Even if there were traps, we passed through them safely. What else could have happened?"

Gao Changgong didn't recognize Amadei, but he knew she was probably someone who had been resurrected during the time travel with Xu Shilan. This meant she must have died during the early explorations of the Dream World, before the Land of Redemption even existed, so she naturally wouldn't know the terror and vastness of the Dream World. He immediately said seriously, "The Dream World is far more terrifying and bizarre than you imagine, and its origins are far more terrifying than you anticipate. It's not everything we know, so no matter how careful we are..."

Amade scratched her nose and said, "My buddy Wu Pifu killed four Roots."

“…None of it was for…Holy crap! You killed four Roots!?” Gao Changgong made another exaggerated facial expression.

Wu Pifu nodded and said, "Yes, we killed four Roots, then performed time reversal, saved the two of them, and then..."

Suddenly, Wu Pifu stepped forward and was already a thousand meters in the air. His palm fell down, and a figure suddenly appeared. His palm was placed half a meter in front of the figure's face.

The man was a young man with a face full of exaggerated expressions, and he was muttering to himself, "No, you really killed four Root beings!?"

When Wu Pifu's palm stopped touching the man's face, the young man's body began to fade away. He revealed a mocking smile and said in an elegant tone, "Nice to meet you. Humanity's third super-brain monster, and also the last super-brain monster. Hello, goodbye."

"A fan, right?"

As the mist gradually faded and dissipated, Wu Pifu said with a serious expression, "I am your father."

"……grass!"

The mystery has vanished.
