Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 687: Advance, Advance by Any Means (Three in One)

"It's over, it's all over."

"The death knell of doomsday has already sounded. It is you who forced me to send humanity to its doom."

"Get ready, the entire Earth is about to tremble in volcanic eruptions and global earthquakes.

Humans who have never truly entered space cannot survive this cold winter, but mutants can survive tenaciously."

“I will be the Moses of the mutants, parting the Red Sea for them and leading them to the promised land.”

Sebastian Shaw is losing a lot of blood, and his mutant ability allows him to absorb energy and use it to strengthen his body to a certain extent.

In order to reduce his sleep time, Xiao would even let his mutants beat him with all their strength to gain enough kinetic energy so that he would not need to sleep for a period of time.

But this does not mean that he can live forever. Due to massive blood loss, he soon began to suffer from dizziness and shortness of breath.

"Are you really so confident that your back-up plan will work?"

Luo Xi squatted down and gently placed his right hand on Xiao's chest, which was bleeding madly.

Under his control, countless shrapnel and debris on the battlefield began to melt like ice and snow, gathering into a silver stream that rushed towards Xiao's body.

The metal leaps at the fingertips, and the invisible force field distorts and reshapes the microscopic structure. Relying on these raw materials, the nanorobots in the air quickly complete their self-multiplication.

Then these robots followed the damaged gaps in the body into the blood vessels and muscles, connecting with each other to form a mechanical heart that could drive the blood to circulate normally.

The nanorobots took over the task of biochemical immune cells, roaming around in the chest cavity, absorbing foreign matter and blood stasis that entered it, and preventing Xiao from dying from viral infection.

Immediately afterwards, the nanorobots entered Xiao's head and easily cut off the nerve connection between his brain and spinal cord.

The Black King, who was just dying and about to bleed to death, was rescued in the blink of an eye.

In front of Luo Xi, even if he wanted to die, it would be almost impossible.

However, Xiao could no longer feel his body below the neck and was unable to even move his fingers.

This strange method made Xiao, who had intended to sacrifice himself to awaken all mutants, suddenly lose his temper.

He spewed out dirty curses, just wanting Luo Xi to give him a quick death.

Luo Xi waved his hand, and Wolverine Logan, who had been watching on the side, immediately rushed up, grabbed Xiao's neck and held him in his hand.

With the other hand fanning wildly, Xiao, who originally had a thin face and prominent cheekbones, suddenly turned into a pig head with a bruised nose and face.

Logan witnessed the whole process of Xiao crushing Charles and Eric, and he was extremely annoyed with this guy who was always showing off.

Now that we have the opportunity, we will naturally go all out.

After just a few hits, he felt something was wrong. The kinetic energy of his slap seemed to be completely absorbed by the other party, and there was no crisp feeling at all.

Logan was not angry either. He knew that this guy's ability was to absorb all energy, including kinetic energy.

He slowly applied the strength of his grip, strangling Shaw's neck and pinching his windpipe.

His strength was not great, but just right, causing the mutant hero's face to turn red and his eyes to bulge.

"Xiao has already lost, are you still going to resist?"

The remaining members of the Hellfire Club all turned their attention to the Red Devil Azazel.

This ancient mutant's status and prestige in the club is second only to the Black King. Now that the White Queen is missing, it is naturally his turn to speak.

The Red Devil and Luo Xi looked into each other's eyes, and a trembling and fear from the bottom of his heart made his remaining desire to resist disappear in an instant.

Xiao lost so badly in his hands that he couldn't even escape by space jumping. What was the point of fighting?

As the saying goes, he who knows the times is a hero, Azaser chose to follow his heart.

"Sir, I am willing to obey your orders." The Red Devil took the lead in bowing and kneeling, and approached Luo Xi with a flattering face.

Seeing that the remaining leaders of their side had taken the lead in surrendering, mutants such as Torrent and Angel immediately took advantage of the situation and expressed their willingness to obey Roche's will.

Luo Xi looked at the surrendered Azaser with a smile. The look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a little white mouse in a laboratory, made the Red Devil feel a chill in his heart.

He turned his head and saw despair in Xiao's eyes. He was telling the Red Devil to run as far as possible.

The Red Devil could only shrug helplessly. Now that his signature skills were blocked, how could he escape?

"Let me kill him!"

Eric walked out of the crowd, his eyes red as he looked at Xiao, who was like a toy in Logan's hands, full of hatred and anger.

In addition to these emotions, he also revealed an extremely subtle regret and shame, which only Luo Xi could see clearly.

Although Magneto Eric hated Shaw to the core because of the murder of his mother, he was indeed greatly influenced by Shaw.

He did inherit Shaw's ideas and ambitions and wanted to push mutants onto the world stage.

Even his cruelty towards ordinary humans is closely related to Xiao.

However, with Luo Xi's interference, it is obviously difficult for the seed in his heart to sprout again.

"Why should I give Shaw to you, Eric?"

"Why are you so sure?"

Roxie looked at Magneto, who was bent on revenge, with a playful look and questioned.

“If I hadn’t intervened, you would have been beaten to the ground like dead dogs.

Maybe you will be killed by the navy's firepower. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

Eric clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, and drops of scarlet blood dripped onto the sand.

"You let me kill him, and from now on, I will be loyal to you." Eric stared into Luo Xi's eyes and said word by word.

This was the highest condition he could offer, and Eric was confident that Luo Xi would agree to it.

To exchange the life of a captive who is already worthless for the loyalty of an Alpha-class mutant with unlimited potential, is there such a good deal in the world?
However, Luo Xi just stared at Eric for three seconds, then slowly shook his head.

"Why do you think I need your loyalty? What can you do for me? What do you think is your core competitiveness?"

Luo Xi asked Eric three questions in a row, which caused Eric's thinking to short-circuit: What is core competitiveness?
"Mr. Roche, I am an Alpha-class mutant. My power will continue to grow with the passage of time and the growth of experience. With all due respect, you can solve most of your troubles with my help."

"There is no country or organization in the world that would refuse to allow a Level 4 mutant who can control magnetic fields to join."

Eric has his own pride. Although he is not yet the famous Magneto in the future, he has made great progress under the training and guidance of Roxie.

He has already begun to explore the mystery of magnetism.

He was confident that in a few years, when he had unearthed more potential and his control over the magnetic field continued to increase, he would be far superior to himself at that time.

Not to mention lifting a thousand-ton nuclear submarine, even moving an entire stadium weighing hundreds of thousands of tons is not a difficult task for him.

Isn’t that enough?

"Eric, is your purpose in improving your abilities to fight for power, to threaten and bully others, to dominate this small place like Earth, and to dream of making mutants rise up like that idiot Xiao?"

"Do I still need you to help me solve the troubles? Those are only troubles if I am willing to admit them. If I lose my patience, then everything will just be a stumbling block."

There was deep disappointment in Luo Xi's tone, and Eric instantly felt his face flushed, feeling a little embarrassed and ashamed.

Of course, he heard what Luo Xi had just said to denounce Xiao, and he also heard how short-sighted and petty Xiao's ambitions were in Luo Xi's eyes.

Just being able to look at others objectively doesn't mean being able to look at yourself objectively. In Eric's subconscious mind, he still has similar thoughts to Xiao.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Xiao's successor.

"If you want to use your ability to kill people, then I can only say that compared to the killing machine I built, you are too weak in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness."

“The war iron men I created are born specifically for efficient killing. They can learn more than one million words of killing methods through data sharing.

Their numbers are limited only by the amount of material available, and given time they could expand exponentially."

"As for biological weapons, you are no match for these superhuman warriors called Astartes. When they form a legion, any individual is insignificant."

"They can use a variety of dangerous weapons to hunt down specific targets. Even mutants are nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered when facing prepared Astartes."

When Luo Xi spoke, he pointed at Sharokin and Logan behind him. Only then did everyone learn from him the names of these warriors wearing power armor and holding some kind of energy weapons.

"Astartes?" Charles whispered the unfamiliar word.

For some reason, when he chanted this name, the warp from which he had drawn power in the past suddenly surged.

Before his eyes, countless superhuman warriors appeared and were fighting each other. They used the power swords and grenade launchers in their hands to slaughter their own kind mercilessly.

A larger and more ferocious demon rampaged through the crowd, and was then trampled under the feet of an even larger mechanical Titan.

This is not a war limited to one planet or one star system, but a doomsday war that will make the entire galaxy bleed and wail.

"Is this your origin, Roxie?"

Charles suddenly realized something. He instinctively felt that people like Luo Xi were always a little out of place compared to them.

He came from another world, which was bizarre but the best explanation.

"I have repeatedly warned you that your supernatural powers are a kind of wealth. They not only belong to you, but also to mankind.

Any waste of talent is an intolerable sin. You must use your abilities to guide and promote the development of human technology and civilization."

"Waste and procrastination are things I will never tolerate. If you can't do it yourself, then I will do it for you."

Luo Xi has given such warnings more than once, but this time Charles and others had a different feeling.

They realized that Luo Xi was not joking.

Even if they are familiar friends, if they choose to degenerate and waste their talents, the other party will not show mercy.

"He is forcing us to move forward, to move forward by any means necessary. Whether it is humans or mutants, as long as they want to slow down the progress of the entire civilization, even if they choose to do nothing, he will never allow it."

Charles didn't know what kind of enemy or what kind of crisis would force someone as powerful as Luo Xi, who had an unfathomable background, to be so anxious.

But he knew one thing, if Luo Xi was really determined to do this, the whole world would be against him.

Unless he uses the absolute power gap to force everyone to give up their own interests and positions, there will always be people who jump out to become his enemy.

But is it really possible for one person to fight against the whole world?
Luo Xi looked at the two groups of mutants in front of him, and then looked at Sebastian Shaw who was unable to resist beside him, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to tell everyone his purpose.

Sooner or later it's going to come to a head anyway, so now is the perfect time to talk about it.

"You may have guessed about my origins."

"A mutant cultivated by a great country, an immortal from ancient times, or a so-called alien visitor?"

Roshi said, while some mutants nodded secretly.

If they said they were not curious, they would be lying. Roshi's mystery and power were enough to make their imaginations come alive.

Beast Hank pricked up his ears and listened excitedly. Compared with others, he had a stronger intuition.

Because the level of technology demonstrated by Roche is definitely not something that people of this era can achieve.

Even if the world's technological level advances by leaps and bounds for a hundred years, it will still not be able to reach his level.

The limitations of technology and the constraints of the times couldn't be overcome by other means. Just the special energy reactor integrated into the power armor he'd seen alone wasn't something they could replicate even if they tried. If Roche admitted to being an alien, Hank would actually be relieved.

"You all guessed right, but not completely."

"I come from another universe, a dark universe where only war remains.

Hundreds of millions of people have sacrificed their lives for the right to survive.

Countless warriors who are comparable to supermen have sacrificed themselves for their duties, and even beings beyond the power of demigods are fighting each other for their lives. "

"The Lord of Mankind risked his life to fight his rebellious son for the sake of his beloved race. He was not only against one person, but also against the Warp and the Four Chaos Gods."

A sense of solemnity came over them, causing the mutants to feel suffocated.

This is a tragic fate they have never experienced before. Compared with those humans, even though they are ostracized by human society, they live a life like in heaven.

"The evil gods and demons from the warp, with their abominable desires and ambitions, launched a war against the real universe.

They corrupted our comrades, led them into Chaos, caused humanity to kill each other, and caused the great empire to collapse."

A woman like Riven, who had not experienced much cruel war, had already covered her mouth to hide her emotional loss.

Roche released a trace of memory silhouette to Charles, and Charles immediately realized that what Roche said was true.

He did not conceal or deceive a single word, and the things he described as hell on earth all really happened.

Charles, who had a strong ability to empathize with others, almost knelt on the ground and vomited. Those cruel scenes tortured his nerves. The screams and roars of countless people easily shattered his sanity.

Just with one look, he felt that his soul was being polluted.

"Oh my God, how can such a horrific thing exist in the world?"

He felt a great admiration for Luo Xi in his heart, just by glancing at those cruel scenes.

However, Luo Xi, who had experienced those things personally, was still able to tell them everything in a very calm manner.

The gap between them and Luo Xi in spiritual willpower is like the difference between heaven and earth.

"Yes, I can prove that what he said is true."

At this moment, Logan, who had remained silent, suddenly interrupted.

Luo Xi took a look at him and immediately realized that it was the future Wolverine who replaced the current Logan's consciousness.

Future Wolverine, from a timeline where Roshi and the mutants are at all-out war.

The mutants on that timeline, dissatisfied with Roche's ruthless oppression, united to rise up in resistance, just to pursue the justice and freedom in their hearts.

Even Professor X and Magneto, who have different and opposing ideologies, have joined hands again just to free mutants and humans from Roche's control.

Roche indeed regarded the earth as a natural laboratory, and the mutants born from ordinary people were the research subjects he cultivated.

He guided the emergence of mutants, allowing them to study and discover the limits of their own talents, and finally harvested their genetic samples to obtain the corresponding mutant abilities.

But in the end they finally realized how stupid their behavior was. Although Luo Xi's coercion was cruel, he was indeed right.

Some beings called "Apostles of God" came to Earth and a war broke out with mutants and humans.

Roche forced them to progress and grow, and indirectly saved countless mutants.

The future Wolverine looked at his transformed body and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

In his timeline, he fought against these superhuman warriors called Astartes more than once.

If it weren't for his super self-healing ability and his extremely indestructible adamantium skeleton, he would have died several times already.

Those monsters were born specifically for war. They had similar appearances to humans, but in essence they were weapons without blood or tears.

At the beginning, the mutants could rely on their special abilities to launch asymmetric attacks on Astartes, but later, after these superhuman warriors also mastered mutant powers, the situation began to become one-sided.

Logan is very satisfied that he has become a member of the "Space Wolves Legion" at this point in time.

They wasted so much time on the meaningless task of resisting Roche that they missed the opportunity to face the real enemies.

"Professor, you look quite handsome now that you have hair."

When Logan met young Charles, he first made a joke.

Charles suddenly touched his hair with a serious look on his face. He got some bad information from Logan.

Is he bald in the future? Oh my god, this is horrible.

"Professor, it was my future self that allowed me to complete this incredible time travel. I am a messenger, bringing you information from the future."

"I am the only one who can withstand the damage caused by traveling through time and space, while others will die on the way."

"What did my future self ask you to tell me?" Charles looked into Logan's eyes and saw an old and tired soul.

With just one glance, he was already 70% convinced. At least, apart from Luo Xi, no one else could hide from his telepathy.

"The professor told me that Luo Xi is not an enemy, not in the future, and not now."

"It is meaningless for mutants to rebel for so-called freedom and justice, because all these things are based on the premise of survival."

"Roshi is indeed studying our abilities. He extracted the X gene from mutant blood samples and injected it into the bodies of Astartes in batches. He made it into a colony template and loaded it into Iron Man."

"But all of this is for the purpose of better dealing with those enemies who harbor endless malice towards humanity."

"Those enemies are too powerful. The Warp is a mirror of the real universe, its opposite.

But strictly speaking, the opposite of the Warp is the real universe composed of countless multiverses, so when facing enemies in the Warp, we are always extremely passive. "

"Only by uniting as one, only by working together, and only by putting aside all distractions and uniting under the command of the Lord of Humanity can we see the dawn of hope."

Logan pointed to his brain, indicating that if Charles didn't believe it, he could come and see for himself.

"Come on, I know you have always restrained yourself and never pried into other people's privacy casually. This is the most admirable thing about you: you have power but never abuse it. No one can restrain you, but you choose to restrain yourself.

But now is not the time to worry about personal privacy. The decisions you make will affect the future of mutants and humans."

"Don't be held back by some illusory principles, professor. We are willing to sacrifice even our humanity for survival, not to mention these things that are based on civilization."

Wolverine said a lot from the bottom of his heart. He really wanted to avoid the tragedies in the original timeline.

Many of his comrades died meaninglessly in the war against Roche.

Charles then forced himself to enter Logan's brain. He clearly saw that the souls of two "Logans" were in the brain at the same time.

Due to the paradox of time and space, only one soul can awaken at a time, so one of them was pushed offline and fell into a deep sleep.

And another soul, of the same origin but older, still maintains contact with him.

It was relying on this subtle connection that a figure gradually emerged in front of Charles' eyes.

He was a bald old man with wrinkles all over his aged face, looking at the young Charles with a kind expression.

He seemed to have paralyzed his lower limbs for some reason and had to move around in a wheelchair.

Charles looked at "himself" in front of him in disbelief, as if the future was a little too cruel for him.

He had lost his precious hair and couldn't even walk on his own, which made Charles breathe a little faster.

“It is a great blessing to be able to survive and continue to lead my compatriots in the resistance.”

"My younger self."

“Instead of looking at what we lost, we should look at what we gained.”

Old Charles seemed to understand his thoughts and said with a smile.

His demeanor was gentle and calm, as if nothing could stir up any ripples in his heart.

Just by looking at him, Charles felt the anxiety rising in his heart fade away a lot.

That is a transcendent spiritual state. The elderly Charles has been able to use his heart to embrace all the insecurities and fears.

Charles, who is well versed in psychology and philosophy, understands that this is an extraordinary spiritual state.

Even in human history, there are only a handful of people who can reach this level, and those ancient people can perhaps be called saints.

"Loche is right. Even though we come from different universes, we are all human and share a common destiny."

"Whether we are willing to admit it or not, this is a fact. We are a community with a shared future."

"There will always be enemies that covet humanity and all life in all realities.

Roche's universe has its own great enemies, and our universe also has its own enemies, but they have not appeared at your time."

"I can tell you that their name is [Gods], but I won't go into more details."

"Any information that touches upon them will alert them. Anyway, their arrival is not too far away. You can explore this on your own."

The future Charles behaved a little secretively, as if he was afraid of some enemies.

However, Charles also knew that this must be because his future self really had his own difficulties.

No one would deceive themselves, right?

"Roshita whipped humans and mutants in the most ruthless manner, melting all the contradictions and barriers, and then tempered and recast this new race, allowing humans to become a whole before the arrival of foreign enemies."

"It is indeed cruel. Those humans and mutants who are unwilling to obey are ruthlessly eliminated by him. Any free will and fairness and justice are meaningless garbage in his eyes."

"We made this mistake in the past, which led to our struggle with Roche lasting a long time."

"It was only after we recognized the reality that we regretted our mistakes, so we sent Logan back to the past and reverse the future."

Charles thought about it carefully. If he found out that Luo Xi had indeed come to them with some purpose and stole their talents, he would definitely feel great pain and disappointment.

We treated you as a friend, but it turns out you were just greedy for our bodies?
Every mutant has the same fear, that is, their secrets will be discovered, and then they will be captured by some crazy scientists, locked up in a dark laboratory, and tortured and studied.

Luo Xi's behavior is essentially no different from this.

"I once thought about what our world would be like if Roshi, a visitor from another universe, had not arrived."

The old professor leaned in his wheelchair and raised his head involuntarily.

“Maybe nothing will happen, and we will still fight for the mutant cause.

Eric and I will still go our separate ways and fight each other, but when Doomsday comes, we won’t stand a chance.”

"We stand in the future and convey news and warnings to you, but the final decision is still in your hands."

"See clearly who is a friend and who is an enemy..."

Charles watched himself become increasingly fainter before his eyes, and finally turned into countless points of light and disappeared.

"The choice is in our hands..."

Charles struggled violently within himself, but it eventually turned into a sigh.

"We can only choose to move forward by any means necessary."
