Eternal Night

Chapter 788 Happy
Wu Pifu twisted his body slightly to the side, and a crimson spear slashed past him. It seemed like he had dodged it by a hair's breadth, but in the instant it grazed his side, the crimson spear suddenly forked out some fine thorns and threads, like plant branches or rose thorns, and in that split second, it pierced Wu Pifu's side ribs.

The change happened in less than a millisecond. The fine forked barbs of the red spear had already pierced Wu Pifu's body, but only pierced his outer clothing. When they touched his skin, Wu Pifu's skin and muscles began to tremble very slightly, but at a very high frequency. The moment the fine forked barbs touched his skin, they actually "slipped" away.

"No, it's impossible!"

The blond man wielding the crimson spear cried out in alarm, but before he could utter a word, a fist came hurtling straight at him.

The fist wasn't fast; at least, the blond man's dynamic vision and reflexes were more than enough to dodge it. But he was horrified to find that the fist seemed to be everywhere. He tried to dodge to the left, but the fist was already to his left. He tried to dodge to the right, but the fist was already to his right. Up and down, forward and backward, left and right... There was only one fist, yet it seemed to be everywhere. No matter how much he tried to dodge, the fist blocked his escape route a step ahead of him.

But until the fist landed on his face, the fist actually didn't move at all; it was just a single, unstoppable punch. To onlookers, the blond man just stood there, stunned, taking the blow.

What appeared to be an ordinary straight punch produced an effect similar to an explosive bomb. The blond man's upper body exploded, while his lower body turned into pale chunks of flesh, which were also rapidly disintegrating.

After the burst of pale flesh and blood, the owner of the fist leaped out and charged straight at Adam, who was behind him. However, two heavily armed men blocked his way. One man was holding an oversized shield, and the other was holding a halberd with both hands. One blocked and the other attacked, both charging towards the owner of the fist at the same time.

"Noble Phantasm! The Frigid Winter!"

"Noble Phantasm! Strength to Uproot Mountains!"

An intense chill emanated from the large shield, growing stronger the closer one got to it. At the same time, the halberd whistled, and it seemed as if a giant mountain appeared on the halberd, pressing down on the fist's owner from mid-air.

The fist's owner neither dodged nor evaded, but suddenly shrank his entire body. In the eyes of the two heavily armed men, it was just a blur, and they lost sight of the fist's owner in that instant. Then, the next moment, the halberd suddenly changed direction and slammed heavily into the large shield. With a loud bang, the sea surface exploded, and the halberd pierced straight through the large shield, cutting the three-meter-long shield into pieces.

Just as the shield-wielding man's shield was broken and he was about to retreat, a hand suddenly appeared in front of him. There was no way to avoid it or dodge it. The hand lightly imprinted itself on his chest. While the shield-wielding man still had an incredulous expression on his face, his whole body suddenly exploded into countless pale flesh fragments, which then vanished without a trace.

On the other side, the man holding the halberd was carried forward more than ten meters by a gentle force. When he looked back, the owner of the fist was already standing less than a meter in front of him.

"Ha, impressive skill! I'm no match for you, but not giving it your all would be disrespectful to a peerless expert like yourself."

The man with the halberd paused for a moment, then suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly. As the fist's owner pointed a finger that pierced his throat, before his throat completely disappeared and his head began to disintegrate, he roared out again with his last bit of strength.

"My true treasure... Eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers, step forward!!"

In an instant, the decapitated halberd-wielding man and the fist-wielding man vanished simultaneously. Then, the decapitated halberd-wielding man completely disappeared, while the fist-wielding man reappeared unharmed, his body covered in blood and flesh, which was rapidly disappearing.

"What a hero..."

This time, the fist's owner did not charge again, but stood still as if savoring something, and after a few seconds he began to mutter to himself with a sigh.

In front of him, hundreds of armed men and women were all on high alert.

Strong, strong, strong...

The owner of this fist, and the enemy they spawned, a phantom spirit in this world named Wu Pifu, was so powerful that they all felt despair.

Wu Pifu checked the three small animals and the golden tree hanging from his lower back; all were unharmed. Satisfied, he looked at the hundreds of derivative beings in front of him and asked curiously, "Are you truly heroic spirits and gods? Descended from the Throne of Heroes?"

The hundreds of men and women remained silent, but Adam, who was surrounded at the very center, spoke up: "No, it is with great regret that we are not the true heroic spirits and gods of this world, but merely realistic models sculpted by the White Child from the civilization and information of this world. We possess approximately 95% of the realism of the original beings, including the effects of the unique Noble Phantasms of this world. Although, by standard, the EX-rank Noble Phantasms, magic, and unique supernatural abilities of this world cannot be realistically replicated, even so..."

At this point, the simulated Adam shook his head.

Wu Pifu thought for a moment and said, "So, you can't resist the Son of White, right?"

Unexpectedly, these hundreds of men and women said in unison, "We are the children of the white."

The difference was slight, except for the voices, which was rather chilling. One of the red-haired beauties holding a staff said, "However, we have been completely loaded with the information of the same beings in this world, so we also have similar thoughts and personalities at this time. So... are you planning to persuade us to surrender?" "No."

Wu Pifu waved his hand and continued walking toward the hundreds of simulated heroic spirits and gods, saying as he went, "This is just to make me more comfortable."

Hundreds of heroic spirits and gods remained silent. Suddenly, an old man with snow-white hair, an electric aura, and muscular physique spoke in a cold voice: "Outsider, you do not belong to this world, and what happens here is none of your business. You, who came from outside, should know the truth about the entire illusory and real multidimensional world. This is not simply a matter of the strong preying on the weak, but rather the inevitable cause and effect of survival of the fittest. Without reality, the civilization that created me would perish, or even suffer a more tragic fate. Outsider, are you pitying this world? Or do you think that those who struggle to survive, merely for a bite of food, are evil?"

"Ha ha……"

Wu Pifu suddenly laughed, continuing to walk forward, and then he said, "Yes, you're right, so why do you think I'm meddling when I attack you now?"

Seeing that the muscular old man was about to speak, Wu Pifu waved his hand and said, "You're right. In our human laws... no, it should be my world, my civilization, there are also so-called emergency avoidance laws. It's roughly like this: if you harm a protected animal, you'll be sentenced, but if that protected animal threatens your life, or if you'll die if you don't eat it, then killing or eating it isn't a crime, and you're exempt from any punishment... I understand what you're saying, and you're right, I agree with everything, but..."

Hundreds of heroic spirits and deities listened intently. Wu Pifu quickened his pace, saying as he ran, "But you also said, 'the truth of the entire illusory and real multidimensional world,' right? To escape your so-called 'ultimate cause and effect of survival of the fittest,' one must transcend survival of the fittest, just like wild animals and humans with highly developed civilizations. Humans don't need to kill wild animals to survive, so humans don't need survival of the fittest, or to put it bluntly, they don't need the law of the jungle. But has your Egyptian civilization escaped that? Are you no longer affected by the sources of pollution? Can this world do that? Which civilization, which source, has achieved that? Everyone is just struggling in this dream world. If you want to kill, if you want to destroy, you can call it the law of the jungle, or you can call it survival of the fittest. So why do you feel wronged when the rebels kill you?"

"As you say, you should be very happy to accept it, right?"

The muscular old man was speechless.

Wu Pifu's rebuttal wasn't profound. The muscular old man initially tried to persuade Wu Pifu through so-called moral blackmail, like an eagle trying to eat a rabbit. If you save the rabbit, the eagle will only starve to death, unless you are a Buddha who has transcended the realm of eagle and rabbit, then you can naturally cut off your own flesh to feed the eagle. But Wu Pifu's words bluntly told the muscular old man that everyone is just a wild animal struggling in this wilderness. If you want to eat the rabbit, then being kicked to death by the super rabbit summoned by the rabbit is nothing more than your so-called survival of the fittest.

What else is there to say?

In the end, it all comes down to whoever is stronger survives.

The muscular old man remained silent, but another handsome young man in a long robe in the group suddenly shouted, "Aren't you afraid we'll target your civilization, your world? Are you prepared to bear the consequences of meddling in other people's business?!"

"That's right, that's more like it!"

Wu Pifu laughed and ignored them. He stomped his foot, causing the sea to burst open, and he shot out, charging straight into the group of hundreds of heroic spirits and gods. With just one collision, dozens of heroic spirits and gods exploded, and dozens of various treasures and weapons all deflected from Wu Pifu's body, without even harming him. Instead, they were able to get close to him. Then, with these treasures covering his body, the hundreds of gods and heroes could not even catch a glimpse of him. A series of crackling sounds were heard as a series of humanoid figures were blown to pieces.

Finally, the few remaining heroic spirits and deities could no longer remain calm. The muscular old man covered in lightning, the red-haired beauty with a staff, the handsome young man in a long robe, and the naked Adam could only rush forward together.

Adam was the first to be attacked. The six-pointed star mark in his pupils flashed suddenly. Just as Wu Pifu rushed forward with his palm and claw, almost unbeatable, Adam also lunged forward with his palm and claw, clashing palm to palm and claw to claw with Wu Pifu.

At the same time, the muscular old man's muscles swelled, accompanied by a thunderous roar, as he leaped into the air and then fell back down, his fist slamming down with tremendous force towards Wu Pifu's head.

The long-haired beauty holding the staff raised it high, chanting silent incantations. Each incantation transformed into strange symbols and runes visible to the naked eye, densely enveloping a fifty-meter radius around Wu Pifu.

The handsome man in the long robe plunged his hands into the sea and chanted incantations as well. Gradually, the space shrouded by symbols and runes began to distort.

That wasn't all. The remaining heroic spirits also shouted the true names of their respective Noble Phantasms and swept towards Wu Pifu from all directions. They even included each other, completely disregarding whether they would accidentally hurt each other.

"Fine! What does language matter? Either you kill me, or I'll kill you all. That's more like it!"

Wu Pifu let out a loud roar and exerted force with his claws. Adam's hands immediately bled, and he was forced back several steps. Just as he was about to continue imitating Wu Pifu's technique, he only glanced at Wu Pifu, and blood immediately began to seep from his pupils.

"Come, Adam, transcend the threshold... I expect you to do it!"

Before the eyes of all the simulated heroic spirits and gods, Wu Pifu stood still, then suddenly his body grew taller and larger, without even a moment's hesitation...

He was larger than the planet he was standing on!
