Chapter 432: Super-Large-Scale Enhanced Random Draw

~18 min read 3,577 words

(PS: I'm home, I'm very tired, so there's only one chapter. It uses two pitiful saved chapters. I just recovered from illness recently, so I really don't have any saved chapters. 6000 words, three chapters will resume tomorrow.)

On the hillside of a huge mountain, the two Eldar Farseers looked at the hellish battlefield in the distance. They did not hesitate at all, even though the intensity of the battlefield in front of them far exceeded their expectations, even if their existing full military force was invested in it, it was estimated that it would only be a small part of the power, and even the psychic Titans they brought as trump cards were estimated to have roughly the same output as the twenty or so Imperial Titans and Chaos-side Titans in the field.

Even so, they still unswervingly took an invisible vehicle and began to move toward the battlefield... There, lay the greatest hope of their race!

At the same time, Su Xing was panting and hacked off the last demon with one knife. There were no more Four-God demons in the trench area within his field of vision.

But in contrast, the ground was full of human remains and corpses, countless humans and Space Marines were killed... They used their own flesh and blood to hold off countless Four-God demons, which gave Su Xing a chance to reinforce, preventing the entire defensive position from being directly slaughtered through.

However, the cost was so great that even Su Xing felt shocked.

Across the entire front line, except for the existing Astra Militarum, Planetary Defense Forces, and militia, at least 80% died in battle. Almost all officers, commissars, and non-commissioned officers died in battle. During this period, no fewer than 5,000 Space Marines who landed on the ground died in battle, no fewer than 100,000 Sisters of Battle died, no fewer than 50,000 Mechanicus Skitarii cyborgs died, and no fewer than 200,000 crusade troops who arrived in a hurry...

If this death toll were changed to another occasion or another world, Su Xing would definitely think someone was bragging. In about an hour, millions of people died in one battlefield, and in just one position, over 500,000 died. This was simply an exaggerated boast.

But now, he truly witnessed this tragic hell that completely exceeded his imagination. Lives were wiped out and consumed like numbers. The most terrifying thing was that these brave people didn't even leave their names, and all traces of their existence would perish...

Because of all this, a thick, heavy depression settled in Su Xing's heart.

There were still many, many Four-God demons, spread across the entire battlefield, but the macro-cannons falling from the sky, the remaining Titans on the ground, and the Space Marines, Skitarii, Sisters of Battle, and the unimaginably large crusade armies falling like rain resisted them, but it was only resistance.

Except for heavy vehicles, Titan machines, and Space Marines that could barely cause damage to Four-God demons, all other armaments were like paper in front of this pure Chaos power. Any demon could slaughter hundreds or thousands of people, while the damage they received themselves was minimal.

This was a battle between mortal things and the extraordinary, but the side with high morale was the mortal side, while the Four-God demons had no intelligence at all. Although they fought fiercely, their essence was no different from beasts, so the entire battlefield was instead mortals with high morale fighting to the death against the claws and teeth of extraordinary beasts.

No retreat, no cowardice, no begging for mercy. Su Xing saw more than ten teams slaughtered by Four-God demons, but even if only one person remained, they still fought bravely forward until the entire team died in battle.

All of this made Su Xing even more silent.

He arrived at the command center deep in the trench.

This place had also been slaughtered by Four-God demons. The ground was full of blood and corpses. In the field, more than thirty Space Marines in gray power armor were confronting Magnus and Mortarion, and Angron's head was protected behind two Demon Primarchs.

An old man in Inquisitor clothing stood between the gray power-armored Space Marines and the Demon Primarchs. He was wounded in many places, and one arm was gone, but he stood straight, and his momentum even overshadowed this group of Space Marines.

Su Xing didn't care. His arrival made all the gray power-armored Space Marines look at him. Everyone was scrutinizing him, but he just stepped forward and pushed with his hand. The thirty-plus Space Marines over 2.5 meters tall were all pushed back nearly a hundred meters, and this power, like an electric shock, made them almost fall. Each of them could only control their bodies with all their might to avoid being embarrassed. Each of them had horror on their faces. The two leading gray power-armored Space Marines looked at each other, then shook their heads, signaling something.

Su Xing still didn't say a word. He walked to the old man and looked at Kethya, whose body was broken in two at his feet, but who hadn't died yet.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed Su Xing's gaze and sighed: "She is very lucky, she died in a worthy place!"

The old man looked up at the battlefield.

This was the most comfortable and hopeful scene he had seen in his three hundred years of life.

The souls of all the humans who died in battle were quietly dissipating. Some had confusion on their faces, some had tranquility, and a small number of souls with psychic power still retained consciousness and clearly knew they were dead. Then, when they confirmed that they and the souls around them were gradually dissipating, their faces were full of ecstasy, and then they opened their mouths and shouted silently, "Emperor protect," or "New God protect," or "New God is immortal."

Never before had the old man been so firm in his belief. For nothing else, even if it was just so that he could enjoy this tranquility when he died, he was willing to bet everything he had.

"What?"

Su Xing replied in confusion, and then he took out a broken pocket watch from his personal space.

The next scene made everyone immediately face a great enemy, especially those gray power-armored Space Marines. They couldn't care about their numb bodies, each raised their power swords, power knives, blessed bolters, etc., and began to frantically scrutinize everything around them, including Su Xing and the Grand Inquisitor.

"Suicide Pocket Watch."

"When the hands move backward, it can make everything within five square meters cycle through time. The longer the backward movement, the longer the time cycle lasts, up to thirty seconds."

"Side effect: After each backward movement of the hands, it will relatively move forward. Every second of forward movement will make the holder want to commit suicide. The suicide psychological level ranges from level 1 to level 30. Level 30 is the most serious. At this moment, unless one possesses soul sublimation attribute resistance, any mortal thing will seek any way to commit suicide."

Everyone saw Kethya's body, which had been split in two, quickly closing, and then blood, internal organs, and bones quickly flowed backward and healed. In less than fifteen seconds, she was restored to a complete living person who had only suffered serious injuries but was still alive.

"I... no! I..."

Kethya touched her intact body uneasily. She looked terrified, even desperate, and then she immediately subconsciously wanted to pick up her pistol and shoot herself in the head. But before she could raise the pistol, her arm was grabbed by Su Xing.

"No, what are you doing again!?"

Su Xing was already desperate for this world that made him confused. His confusion index had dropped to 120,000. He really, really didn't want his head to turn into pure tofu!

At this time, the demon head Angron said in a hoarse voice: "... This is not the power of the Warp, this is not psychic power!"

Everyone was stunned. Kethya immediately closed her eyes. Beside her, Grand Inquisitor Anris Gus also carefully sensed everything around him. And two people walked out from the gray power-armored Space Marines. They were the two leaders. Dim spiritual light flickered in their eyes. The closer they got to Su Xing, the weaker the spiritual light became, until they walked to the front, and they were no different from ordinary people.

"... That's right."

The two Space Marines said at the same time: "This is not the filthy power of the Warp!"

Everyone looked at Su Xing in unison. They saw Su Xing take back his embrace and at the same time take off his tattered and broken clothes. They saw that there was no good flesh on his whole body. A large amount of shrapnel and shell casings were squeezed out of his skin and muscles. Immediately after, his flesh and blood were also healing quickly, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, no trace of injury could be seen on his body anymore.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the equipment of the two gray power-armored Space Marines. A large number of inscriptions, sculptures, and symbols were engraved and worn on their equipment, but these things were quietly staying on their armor at this time, neither burning nor brightening, let alone any golden light.

(Is he really an immortal?)

Everyone present, including the three Demon Primarchs, had such thoughts in their minds at the same time, and then their eyes were filled with light.

The scene of Kethya quickly healing from death was firmly engraved in their minds.

Immortals are individuals born very, very occasionally among humans. From ancient times to the present, there are probably not even ten immortals, and the Emperor is an immortal, and very likely the strongest one.

And immortals are immortal and indestructible. Even if their bodies are completely destroyed and every atom is crushed, immortals can recover and heal after an indefinite period of time, and then return to the material universe perfectly.

Everyone present knew this clearly, including the thirty-plus Space Marines with special equipment. But what they didn't know was that immortals could bestow their immortality characteristics on another life?

Or is it that only this immortal in front of them can do it? Just like the Emperor's psychic power is the limit of the material universe, it is the Emperor's uniqueness, and this kind of bestowing immortality characteristics on another life is the uniqueness of this immortal in front of them?

For a time, too much information appeared in the minds of everyone present, and this information was too complex. Various religious fanatical emotions permeated the thoughts of these people. The emotions Su Xing perceived became very chaotic. He could only perceive meanings like immortal, recovery, immortality, Emperor, etc., as for the rest, they were all fanatical emotions.

He didn't care, just carrying the broken Heroic Soul Broken Blade, he was about to walk out of the trench. His return this time was mainly to save Kethya. Just now, he saw Kethya split by a claw of a Four-God demon. Although this Four-God demon was hacked to pieces by the gray power-armored Space Marines who rushed over, they couldn't save Kethya either. Her separated wounds had been burned by pure Chaos power. Even if the pure Chaos power went out, that destructive aura had killed her body. There was no possibility of saving her on this battlefield.

But now, she had resurrected, and it was a perfect resurrection without any Warp power involved. This made Kethya stunned and the people around her thoughtful. After a long while, Kethya's expression returned to calm. She knelt down halfway and said: "I understand my mission. Now is not the time for me to rest. Please allow me to continue to fight for the Emperor with this body, to fight for the Empire..."

Unaccountably, Su Xing vaguely heard the regret in these words. He resisted the urge to think deeply. Anyway, with the nature of this inexplicable world, there are always more inexplicable reasons for this or that.

Su Xing was about to continue to kill those Four-God demons. Now his mission points had risen to more than 96,000. It only took killing a few thousand Four-God demons to reach 100,000 points. This kind of wholesale Four-God demon only gave one or two points each, which was not worth much. But fortunately, the quantity was enough.

At this time, one of the gray power-armored Space Marines walked out and knelt on one knee to Su Xing: "Your Excellency Living Saint, we have received divine revelation and have come to listen to orders. This place is extremely dangerous. Please leave this star sector as soon as possible. In addition... the Supreme Grand Master is in the Solar System and has not arrived in time. This is truly our sin of negligence!"

Su Xing thought about some of the "common sense" of this world that Kethya and the three Demon Primarchs told him. He thought while saying: "Grey Knights?"

Thirty-plus Grey Knights knelt down at the same time.

In fact, the reason they were so respectful was not just divine revelation. Although it was divine revelation, the habitually suspicious Grey Knights also had to consider whether it was a Warp plot. They had to confirm the truth with their own eyes. And now they confirmed that Su Xing was indeed an immortal, and a human who had nothing to do with Warp power.

Immortals are very special. This is a special existence that only exists among humans. Except for humans, no other race has immortals. And immortals have another characteristic, that is, they will never be corrupted or fallen by the Warp. As long as it is confirmed that he is an immortal, then Su Xing's safety and uniqueness can be confirmed. What's more, they came here and clearly saw "hope", so their attitude would be so respectful.

It's not just immortals, but across the entire battlefield, after the death of millions of people, the souls of those who died were dissipating quietly, instead of falling into the Warp and being captured, played with, and abused by demons...

This is a miracle that only the Emperor's great power can forge, but now it happened to this human in front of them, so they willingly honored Su Xing as a Living Saint.

Su Xing looked at these Grey Knights playfully and said: "So can I understand that you are going to burn and kill all these brave soldiers, or blow up the whole planet?"

The leading Grey Knight lowered his head and said: "This is a misunderstanding, Living Saint. We do not shy away from our duties, nor will we shy away from any means we use, and we will not explain the necessity of this. But here, at this time, we will not kill any loyal soldier, because they have not been corrupted, and they will not be corrupted. As long as you are here, this place is your holy land."

Su Xing said "Oh", and was about to cross the Grey Knights to continue to the battlefield. At this time, the leading Grey Knight stopped Su Xing again and said: "Living Saint, please wait a moment, we have brought an oracle."

Su Xing looked mocking, shook his head and said: "The Emperor is a human! You fanatical believers are really enough..."

The Grey Knight leader neither refuted nor got angry, but said calmly: "He cannot talk to you or meet you in person, so he can only use our mouths to tell you the most important news. Because we will never fall, nor will we be corrupted, so this news will not be known by those four... He said, please do not obtain 100,000 points immediately. That can indeed ensure your safety, but it will also make you lose your most important opportunity. You might as well consume points to obtain enhancement."

"What?"

Su Xing was confused. He only knew the word "points", which shouldn't be known by the life of this world.

After a long time, Su Xing suddenly said: "Main Brain, what kind of enhancement can be exchanged for mission points?"

"Judging... Judgment completed. Citizen Su Xing, given that you can complete the main mission in this dream world in a short time, the following enhancement options are provided."

"One, consume 1,000,000 points (can be borrowed, interest-free) to enhance the random draw items you obtain in this dream world, which can greatly increase the acquisition rate of high-value items."

Su Xing waited for a long time, but didn't hear the Main Brain say a second option, so he couldn't help but complain: "So it's just this one option? And if I don't take the initiative to ask, you won't say you have this function?"

"..."

The Main Brain naturally had no response.

Su Xing fell into thought.

One million points... This is simply an exaggerated number. The Main Brain can indeed borrow it for him in advance, and there is no interest, but calculated this way, he is negative 900,000+ points, which means he must obtain another 1,010,000 points to achieve the main mission, so that he can leave this dream world. This is inconsistent with his plan.

If this is really an oracle given by the Emperor, it means... the Emperor does not want him to leave this dream world too quickly, or is afraid that he will not come back after leaving?

In short, this is an extremely difficult choice. Either he obtains 100,000 points and masters the right to leave at any time, and his own life safety is greatly guaranteed, or he fights for it and obtains a precious item involving the 0.5 or even 0.3 dream world level.

And from the Main Brain's description, this opportunity is rare, not every world he is pulled into can obtain it.

"... Main Brain, apply to consume 1,000,000 points to enhance random draw rewards."

Su Xing thought for a long time, especially thinking that his original purpose was to establish a level 7 shelter.

The so-called one step back is step-by-step back. If he gives up here, whether there will be such high-value item draws in the future is another matter, and his spirit, his courage to move forward, will also be affected.

How big a deal, it's just a 0.3 dream world level root... He is not even afraid of the 0.2 dream world root, will he be afraid of this one!?

"Judging... Judgment completed. Enhancement confirmed. Currently, Citizen Su Xing's mission points are negative 903,217. Please repay within 300 days."

Su Xing heard this voice and immediately said: "Main Brain, use the rewards obtained from the level 1 shelter to conduct a random draw in this world."

"Judging... Judgment completed."

"Reward drawn: Nodos Contract Crystal (Fragment)."

A crystal with a large number of cracks, almost on the verge of shattering, appeared in front of Su Xing. He reached out and held this palm-sized crystal, and felt a slight throbbing sensation.

Su Xing's heart moved, and he immediately said: "Main Brain, designate this world as a data-fied information template world, and at the same time, judge the Nodos Contract Crystal."

"Nodos Contract Crystal (Fragment)."

"... At the end of the Third Era, the Silver Race of the previous era failed, just like the Golden Race of the First Era. The enemy was too powerful. That is a horror beyond the understanding of all life, pure Chaos, and its split eight-pointed eight-directions... But future comers, when you hear this message, please remember us, a group of people falsely called heroes, the moment we punched toward the gods with mortal bodies!"

"Usable. The user merges with the remnant soul of the Hero Race, turning into the original posture of the Hero Race. According to the user's physique, spirit, and soul, the output of the Hero Race's original posture is determined, from 50% to 500%. It can stack with the user's own power and the user's title power."

"Remaining usage times: 1. Can be charged with the essence of the sublimation body, can be repaired with the essence of the root."

"Side effect: Each time the Nodos Contract Crystal is used, it will bear the negative invasion of the lost civilization. This negative invasion will invade the user's consciousness sea and spiritual level. If it cannot be resisted, it will become a fighting maniac who loses self-personality and consciousness, frantically destroying everything until exhausted to death."

Su Xing held this broken crystal, and he began to recall what he vaguely remembered in his mind.

It was a part of an animation. He vaguely remembered having seen it, and the name seemed to be "Heroic Age"...

Right! Hero Race, Nodos...

The content of that animation gradually emerged in his memory: dozens of meters tall mechanical humanoids, one punch can explode a mountain, one move can crack the earth, full power burst can easily tear apart stars, and even more terrifying celestial bodies...

Su Xing's eyes became brighter and brighter, and then he put the Nodos Contract Crystal into his personal space, and then looked up at the sky.

The space was boiling with fire, just like the fire and blood on the ground. The whole world seemed to be burning.

"Four Gods, will you..."

"Bleed?"
