Chapter 694 The Unknown Future

The stars shine.

Duanmuhuai sat on a chair, staring at the sky of the universe outside. Just now, Aikote had reported to him that all enemy ships had been annihilated. But this is not the end, just the beginning. The gears of fate begin to turn, and the battle between the Tribunal and the Chaos God will begin again.

He has no choice.

Duanmuhuai closed his eyes and took a deep breath. In this unlucky world and unlucky identity, if possible, he also hopes to find a garden world with beautiful mountains and clear waters to retire in. Unfortunately, this was impossible, the seal had begun to loosen, and the bastards trapped in the Eye of Fear began to try to escape from the prison one by one and return to the free galaxy. Like hungry beasts, they will devour all living creatures.

But what does this have to do with me?

Duanmuhuai opened his eyes and glanced at the system information in front of him again.

He is just a player. Maybe he will die when he dies. Maybe there are other heroes in this world who will stand up and fight against Chaos, just like the Iron Man War, the Horus Rebellion, and the Black Crusade - justice finally won. Evil, maybe not himself, but someone else will continue to fight against Chaos and win.

But... maybe he's good at this.

Duanmuhuai admitted that although the world seemed very fucked up and dangerous, he felt that he seemed to be more suitable for this world. Because here, he can pick up the war hammer without any scruples and smash the heads of everyone who dares to stand in front of him, and wipe their brains on the ground. Maybe he was born to do this. After all, even in the original world, he couldn't do any ordinary work like this, and extraordinary work... well, there's even more that he couldn't do.

So maybe it's better this way now.

Duanmuhuai retracted his thoughts and looked at the information column again. Mortarion's death brought a lot of experience points. However, now for Duanmuhuai, he did not think about the harvest immediately, but mainly focused on the battlefield information records. ——Only through these records can he review everything on the battlefield and find better countermeasures.

After all, fighting the BOSS as a player and fighting the BOSS as a god are two different things.

In the game, it is impossible for players to challenge Mortarion alone. In reality... well, Duanmu Huai is not considered a solo challenge.

Taking a look at the battle information bar, the first thing you see is the various auras of both sides competing against each other.

[Mortarion resisted the aura of fear——The resistance was successful]

[Duanmuhuai resists the death plague——The resistance is successful]

[Mortarion resisted the Whisper of the Old One——The resistance was successful]

[Duanmuhuai resisted the sound of crying——The resistance was successful]

……………………

Judging from the system information, the two sides activated their auras for the first time in the battle, and then there were various non-stop mutual resistances and immunities. Just like mortals who enter Mortarion's poisonous gas realm will be corrupted into bloody chaos monsters, mortals who enter Duanmuhuai's fearful aura will also die directly due to extreme panic.

If this were on a large battlefield, both sides would do nothing but emit halos, which would be enough to clear out all the soldiers around them.

But when they reached this level, it was difficult for them to break through each other's defenses by shining halos on each other. The only reason why Duanmu Huai was able to win a big victory in a short period of time was because of the love from Dice Girl.

[Mortarion resisted the Whisper of the Old Ones... a big failure]

That's right, if Mortarion hadn't failed in resisting the Whisper of the Old One in this "round", he wouldn't have been able to break through the defense so easily, and then Duanmu Huai would have seized the opportunity to kill him instantly.

Mortarion's experience is divided into two parts. The God of Destruction is still at level 15 and has not been upgraded, but the experience bar has increased by nearly half, which is higher than when he killed Rose. The Will of the Old Gods has been upgraded to level seven, raising the level of the aura ability [Whispers of the Old Days] to LV3. At the same time, he also gained a brand new ability.

[The long-lasting call: The Old Ones were once there, the Old Ones are always there, and the Old Ones will always be there. They wander silently and primitively, not in the space of the universe as we know it, but 'in between' the universe, not in dimensions, not visible to humans (let go of your heart and call to those on the other side of the universe) The Old Ones are coming)]

This move is really a killer.

Looking at the skill introduction in front of him, Duanmu Huai twitched the corners of his eyes. One day when he gets tired of living, he can try to use this to summon Azathoth - by then, whether it is the Chaos Evil God or something else, they will all be summoned by Azathoth. Forget it, Zathos eats it. If everyone dies together, well, this skill is good as the ultimate insurance.

But in the battle with Mortarion, Duanmuhuai was not without gains. He was surprised to find that among the three priesthoods he held, apart from the [God of Destruction], the [Will of the Old God] was the most powerful. Restrain these demon princes.

It's normal if you think about it carefully. The demon princes are all the original genetic bodies of the demons. More than half of their bodies do not belong to the real world, but to the subspace. If it were gods from other orders, they might still be unable to fight against these subspace demons. But it's different when it comes to the Old Gods - their existence is higher, stronger, and more fierce in competing for influence in the subspace.

This is why Mortarion's defense was completely broken after just one big failure. If Duanmu Huai can improve the level of [Old God Will], then there will be no problem in dealing with other demon primarchs. He can use [Old God Will] to break the opponent's defense, and then use [God of Destruction] to harvest the opponent's soul.

As for [God of Joy]... Alas, this level is too low, and it is probably useless except for grabbing some souls.

Duanmu Huai checked the battlefield record again and confirmed that everyone else was normal, then closed the information bar and closed his eyes. The benefits of destroying a demon primarch can be basically ignored, because of Mortarion's characteristics, his spoils are of no use to Duanmu Huai. Those things full of germs, poison gas and death infection are given to Duanmu Huai for free, not to mention that if he uses this thing, it is equivalent to indirectly spreading the love of a kind father?

Who knows when that dead fat otaku will come to find him with a smile.

In fact, all demon primarchs are killed like this. They give a lot of experience, but other than that, they basically don't drop any loot, or no one dares to use it if it does. Players who used those loot were basically contaminated by Chaos later, and then attacked by the crowd.

Since these loot can only be dropped when killing demon primarch bosses, no one will be idle and open a small account to touch the corpse, and players who can reach the level and equipment to attack demon primarchs are naturally unwilling to waste their accounts for such a trivial matter.

In other words, for Duanmu Huai, it is a good thing that Mortarion didn't drop anything. If it dropped some equipment, then he would worry about whether the father has started to pay attention to him.

At least for now, everything is normal.

Sure enough, I still have to find a way to increase the level of [Old God Will], but I can't do it in Faerun... Well, maybe I can try in Baator Hell?

Anyway, the devils and demons there have nothing else to do except fighting all day long.

Duanmu Huai stood up, stretched his body, opened the door and walked out of the room. At this moment, he saw An coming from the other side of the corridor.

"Ah, Mr. Knight!"

Seeing Duanmu Huai, An immediately ran to him angrily and complained as if he had found a target.

"Next time, can you explain the situation in advance when you summon us? It's really too smelly there! I soaked in the bathroom for a whole hour... Woo... I should have no smell on my body, right?"

As he spoke, An sniffed his body from side to side and raised his hands to Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai also lowered his head and sniffed lightly.

"No, it's normal."

"That's good. To be honest, the stench is so terrible that I thought I would never get rid of that terrible smell in my life."

An breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's Gu Leya?"

"Ahahaha..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, An's face immediately blushed.

"Gu Leiya... fainted from the soaking and is resting, hehe..."

"Did you use the excuse of checking if she was clean again and do something to her?"

"Hehehe..."

Looking at An who was smiling awkwardly, Duanmu Huai shook his head helplessly. He couldn't figure out what the relationship between An and Gu Leiya was. If they were just best friends, An was sometimes too affectionate to Gu Leiya. And if you said there was any further relationship between them, it didn't seem to be the case. At least for An, she seemed to just like to take advantage of Gu Leiya by taking advantage of her identity as a girl.

Looking at the magic princess in front of him, Duanmu Huai suddenly thought of something.

"An."

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

"Have you thought about the future?"

"The future?"

"Yes, the distant future, the future after a hundred years, a thousand years, or maybe even longer?"

"Wu........."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, An frowned and thought for a moment.

"I have never thought so far ahead. I think we can think about the future later."

"So do you think you and Gu Leiya will be like this in a few decades?"

"Of course I hope it will be like this, but who can say for sure about the future?"

At this point, An chuckled.

"I don't know what you think, Mr. Knight, but in my opinion, as mortals, we can only 'expect' the future and then work hard to realize our expectations. As for whether the future can really meet our 'expectations', we will tell when the time comes."

"You said this like a princess."

"What do you mean like? I am a princess."

Looking at An's puffy cheeks, Duanmu Huai smiled and reached out to touch her head.

"Indeed, we will think about the future later."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

"Let's go back to Arkham first."

Then he spoke.
