Chapter 433: Temptation of Death

Su Xing still picked up the knife and went up.

There is no such thing as a leader who cannot go to the front line in this dream world. As long as it is an organization, force, or legion with a little fame, its leader must be very capable of fighting, each of them can be one against a hundred, or even one against a thousand, or one against an enemy legion. If not, this kind of force is not even considered to be in the stream.

So when Su Xing used the random draw and obtained a big killer, and picked up the knife to continue rushing toward those points (Four-God demons), everyone around him looked as if it was a matter of course, as if it would be strange if it weren't so. Then thirty-plus Grey Knights immediately guarded behind Su Xing in a battle formation, and then followed by the Storm Legion brought by the Grand Inquisitor. This was the elite among the elites selected from the Astra Militarum, and their weapons were much stronger than ordinary Astra Militarum. At this time, there were about 500 people following closely behind.

As Su Xing went away, the Imperial-side humans around him began to gather toward him. Gradually, an army of more than 100,000 had gathered behind him, attacking more Four-God demons in the distance.

And in the center of the trench, Kethya stood in place, lost in thought. Beside her, Grand Inquisitor Anris Gus suddenly asked: "Although this is a bit decadent, I still want to ask... what was the death you felt just now like?"

Kethya was stunned. She turned her head and saw that not only was Anris Gus full of attention, but even the three Primarchs, and several seriously wounded officers around, two Grey Knights who were also seriously wounded and unable to fight, and a dozen ordinary Space Marines... everyone around was looking at her with burning eyes.

Death, the ending that no mortal life can escape, but in this 0.5 dream world, normal death is the greatest luxury in this world.

In this world, the endless torture and pain after death is no longer a religious intimidation or a philosophical meaning, but a true fact. Even if the high-level officials strictly sealed the truth of the afterlife, as an instinct of life, even ordinary people vaguely felt the despair of the afterlife.

After any life in this world dies, its consciousness, spirit, and soul essence will fall into the Warp. Those with extremely good luck will be slowly eroded in the essence of the Warp, which is billions of times more painful than falling into concentrated sulfuric acid, but this is already the best luck. Those with slightly better luck are directly devoured by demons who smell the scent. Both have one thing in common, that is, they are completely annihilated. No matter how painful the process is, at least the person is gone.

The most terrifying thing is falling into the hands of demons without being devoured immediately. Then the pain, the torture, and the future encounters are simply unimaginable and indescribable for mortals.

And the people who are still alive here all know the truth of this world, so everyone present looked at Kethya seriously and earnestly.

Kethya's eyes showed slight confusion, and she recalled earnestly: "I actually didn't really die, but my soul and consciousness did leave my body, and then in my senses, I began to rise. I felt tranquility, ease, and harmony, as if there was light in the distance of the darkness, and I was heading toward that light..."

A Grey Knight said seriously: "Could it be the deception of the Warp? The Grey Knight library has records. Several brothers felt tranquility and harmony when they were dying, but that was proven to be a plot of the Evil Gods, wanting to corrupt the Grey Knights... Are you sure?"

Kethya said seriously immediately: "I guarantee in the name of the Emperor, I can be 100% sure that it has nothing to do with the Warp!"

Kethya's file had been turned over by the Grey Knights, the Inquisition, and the High Lords as soon as this incident broke out. For Kethya's loyalty and sensitivity to the Warp, this Grey Knight still recognized it, so he nodded slightly.

Kethya continued: "I headed toward that light. There was no pain in this process, only tranquility, harmony, and comfort. And I can feel that as long as I enter that light, I can sleep and rest eternally... This is true death!!"

Everyone around heard this, and everyone showed a look of envy, even the Grey Knights were no exception.

True peace... true death...

What kind of heaven is this!?

Grand Inquisitor Anris Gus, however, showed hidden worries. He looked at the three Demon Primarchs. These three Demon Primarchs all showed thoughtful expressions. He looked at the two wounded Grey Knights again, and it happened that these two Grey Knights also looked at him. Just one look, and they both knew that the other also had hidden worries.

Anris Gus coughed immediately and said: "Okay, the topic of death ends here. Now we need to discuss the next strategic matters... Two, and... you, can we talk together?"

The people Anris Gus referred to were the two Grey Knights and the three Demon Primarchs. Regardless of the reason for the return of the Demon Primarchs, at least now they were on the same front, grasshoppers on the same rope. At least for now, they needed to cooperate.

Soon, Anris Gus took Kethya, the two Grey Knights, and the three Demon Primarchs to a random room in the bunker. Anris Gus immediately asked the two Grey Knights: "Two respected angels, I want to know if there is any record of this kind of peaceful death in the forbidden library of the Grey Knights?"

The two Grey Knights were silent for a long time, and one of them shook his head and said: "No, even if the soul returns to the Golden Throne, one must fight, because only fighting can resist the Warp. The Grand Inquisitor should know this."

Anris Gus nodded silently, and Ma Genusi smiled and said: "What are you thinking? In our world, the Warp and the material universe are two perfectly overlapping sides. The death of any life is closely related to it. There is no possibility of escaping this absolute hell after death, unless... what He brings is true death."

Everyone was thoughtful. Anris Gus immediately said: "Not to mention whether this is true death, there is a very important problem now, that is, life is the Emperor's currency and cannot be consumed so extravagantly... This is a very terrifying reality, and we must find a way to solve it, otherwise it may lead to extremely terrifying consequences."

Life is the Emperor's currency. This is the religious propaganda content of the Imperial Ecclesiarchy, but this is not a completely false narrative, but a reality in this world.

Because of the nature of the Warp, all life falls into the Warp after death and suffers the most terrifying torture. Only those known as gods can protect the souls of their race's dead in a way similar to a divine realm.

In the Warp, besides the Four Evil Gods, there are actually many minor gods, and there are also a large number of racial gods in this universe. These so-called gods are naturally far inferior to the Four Evil Gods, and are even existences of two dimensions, and there is no comparability between them. But these gods can indeed protect the souls of the dead, but depending on their power, the number of souls they can protect is limited, and for the large number of dead in their respective races, it is not even a drop in the bucket.

And the Emperor can also protect the souls of human dead, which is why the Emperor is recognized as a god by all humanity.

Soul returns to the Golden Throne. This is not just a prayer, and it does not mean the same thing as seeing this sentence on the Heroic Soul Monument known to Su Xing, but a real event.

When a human with great potential, sufficient pious belief in the Emperor, and great achievements and sufficient combat power dies, their soul has a certain probability of being picked up and protected by the Emperor, and will not fall into the Warp and suffer the torture of demons. But that is not a peaceful sleep after death, but continuing to fight in the Warp or at the breach of the Webway as the Emperor's warrior.

These are all the truths of this world!

Everyone present understood Anris Gus's meaning immediately.

If it is true that dying by Su Xing's side can really lead to a permanent death without hindrance or loss, without suffering the terrifying torture after death, and this permanent death is equal regardless of piety, achievements, or strength, then this will really cause big problems!

If more people know about this, then maybe Su Xing will see millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people rushing to his side, and then committing suicide by his side, without any hesitation in the middle, and it is a continuous rush, various styles of suicide performances. Everyone can even imagine it now.

The Grey Knights immediately said: "This matter is of great importance. I must report it to the Supreme Grand Master and must immediately find a way to stop the flow of this information..."

Anris Gus also immediately said: "If necessary, then sign the Exterminatus. I will sign it in my name. Everyone here, except for key figures and those with enough rationality to live, let them face true death so easily, which is the greatest mercy for them!"

Kethya and the two Grey Knights nodded immediately.

At this time, Ma Genusi laughed and said: "You are really funny. Even if everyone here is silenced by you, what about the future? He is going to walk among mortals, just like the Emperor back then. I can even imagine the Great Crusade coming again, and even the future of more magnificent wars. Can you kill all of humanity to silence them?"

Several people looked at him. Anris Gus said: "... Primarch, I am still willing to call you Primarch. If you are sincerely wanting to repent and return, then may I ask, is there any way to stop this from happening?"

"I... also want to know, is there any way to stop all this?"

At this time, a voice sounded not far from everyone. The two Grey Knights jumped up immediately, each aiming their weapons at the blank space. Even though their serious injuries were enough to kill ordinary people four or five times, their movements were still clean and neat.

From that blank space, two Eldar, a man and a woman, appeared. The male Eldar ignored the two Grey Knights and immediately asked urgently: "Is there any way to stop all this from happening?"

"Along the way, we sensed the truth of death here, and then..."

"In our team, more than one-third of the warriors committed suicide immediately, and the remaining personnel are also hesitating. Every moment, people are secretly committing suicide. We must be fast, we must be fast, otherwise..."

"Almost all the personnel I brought will commit suicide!!"
