Chapter 98: The Dimensional Demon's Favorability towards You +1 [6k words, Happy Chinese New Year to Everyone! ]
At the moment when the War Apostle died, Lu Wenwu seemed to see a strange shadow flash by in a trance.
Before he could see it clearly, the shadow had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the still turbulent sea.
[You gained 10 free attribute points]
[You killed the War Apostle (lv. 44) alone without any external help, and the War Domain disintegrated]
[You completed the hidden mission - End of War]
Mission Description: War and peace are essential experiences for any civilization's evolution. However, they are by no means carnivals or feasts, nor are they flower baskets used to adorn the throne. Those who toy with war will ultimately be toyed with by war itself.
[You have obtained a hidden reward: Soul of War]
[You received a special reward: Mysterious Lucky Bag]
[Your overall personal rating has been greatly improved]
The scarlet abyss began to wriggle and repair itself, transforming, and Lu Wenwu's face emerged from it.
The wound that was previously pierced by the War Controller has long been healed.
The talent of flesh and blood regeneration inherited from the blood of the extraterritorial god is as powerful as ever.
With his body strengthened by the Sun-Scorching Crystals and the method of adjusting his organs and flesh in the "Body Refining Technique to Conquer People with Virtue", Lu Wenwu is much more resilient than imagined.
Lu Wenwu looked at his fist and clenched it tightly.
A sharp feeling like a blade arose spontaneously, like a divine war spear with a cold and shining light.
This is a new ability born after devouring the War Master's spear.
Perhaps due to its unique structure, Tian Tian Shi Di did not devour any attribute points this time, but instead preserved the opponent's abilities.
Now, Lu Wenwu can increase the sharpness of his fists by bathing in the blood of his enemies, thereby indirectly increasing his own attack power.
A punch is thrown, directly penetrating the enemy's body, and then triggering the equipment's special effects of explosion and burning.
Hammer, blunt force, crush, penetrate, burn, explode.
That scene is beautiful just thinking about it.
Lu Wenwu took out his mission reward and took a look at it.
[Name: Soul of War]
[Type: Strange Item]
[Introduction: Born from the purest and most pristine power of faith, nurtured by abundant, high-quality soul power, it takes shape. After refining, it enhances one's soul essence, with a slight chance of comprehending skills related to the priesthood of war.]
It is another rare treasure. It seems that I need to find a quiet place to refine it.
Lu Wenwu casually added the 10 free attribute points obtained from killing the war apostle, and flew back to the sea area where he came from before.
Life is so hard.
Now, killing an A-level boss only gives you 10 attribute points!
On the surging sea, with the death of the War Apostle, the warships formed by his power disintegrated one after another.
The war believers who regained consciousness fell into the water one after another, bobbing on the sea.
Countless people who couldn't swim cried and shouted, trying hard to splash out one white wave after another.
Some even stepped on and pulled the weaker people next to them, pushing them into the water to provide themselves with a little buoyancy.
About ten seconds later, a huge submarine suddenly broke through the water surface, setting off a huge wave.
Just as the survivors were crying for their parents, a faint and beautiful song suddenly sounded, and the originally turbulent sea and the crying survivors instantly calmed down.
Countless Salvation Army soldiers filed out of the huge submarine, carrying a large number of inflatable boats and floating objects and began to rescue.
Lu Wenwu flapped his wings of the sky and landed above the submarine, and the flame mark on his back quietly faded away.
Here, he saw the dolphin Lan Shan singing loudly, and also saw Zhao Lixing, who had a strange look on his face as if he had seen Lu Wenwu.
Zhao Lixing swallowed his saliva and asked tremblingly: "Mr. Tyrannosaurus, is the War Apostle's clone?"
Lu Wenwu shook his head: "The original body."
"He is now."
"Too weak, I killed him."
"hiss!"
Zhao Lixing suddenly felt the blood rushing to his brain and his body instantly became hot.
What followed was a strong dizziness, as if the world was spinning.
The two personal soldiers beside him were even more miserable, and had collapsed to the ground with horror on their faces.
The Apostle of War is dead!
He actually died!
This was the first apostle to die in more than two years!
A huge mountain that weighed on everyone was easily defeated by this peerless macho man in front of him?
It's like a fucking dream!
Lu Wenwu shook his head in disappointment. "The War Apostle is so stupid, a complete immature brat who hasn't grown up. He's clearly a standard lord, yet he's so arrogant as to challenge me in close combat. How could such a brainless guy be one of the seven victors of the World War?"
"Honestly, I'm now skeptical of the other apostles' abilities, and I've gained a new understanding of how you've managed to hold out this long. Facing such an outrageous opponent, holding out for over two years doesn't seem like a big deal."
Zhao Lixing suddenly felt ashamed.
He felt that it was not the Apostle of War's fault that he was too arrogant and conceited.
The main reason is that although the powerful alien warriors who came before were stronger than the previous generation, they were not as strong as Lu Wenwu.
Judging from the feedback from the monitoring equipment on the submarine, the aura and strength unleashed by Lu Wenwu were completely comparable to those of the weaker apostles.
Before this battle broke out, no one thought that Lu Wenwu could win.
As a result, he just led an army of ten thousand to take the leader.
Before the opponent had a chance to show his strength, Lu Wenwu got close to him and killed him instantly with his ultimate attack.
He became the second most frustrated person after Tianxie Taoist.
But no matter what, although he was despised by Lu Wenwu, the death of the War Apostle can definitely be regarded as a great joyous event.
Zhao Lixing immediately notified the headquarters to send more rescue submarines to pick up people, and reported this good news.
As soon as the War Apostle died, those controlled War Believers were immediately liberated and returned to being ordinary people.
Those areas that were originally in the war zone (the area ruled by the war apostles) finally have the opportunity to be recovered, rebuild more industrial systems, enhance more foundations, and save more people who are being ruled by high pressure.
Now that things have come to this, let’s eat the egg-filled pancake first.
The rescue did not require Lu Wenwu to do anything, as a large number of Salvation Army soldiers were much more professional than him.
Bored of waiting, he took out his mobile egg-filled pancake workshop and started cooking.
Maomao was finally released and is now diligently making a fire.
The noble and mysterious fire of Huo Dou serves as fuel for the furnace, slowly baking the pancakes over low heat until they are golden brown.
It is worth mentioning that the oven used to bake pancakes now is the big black oven that Tianxie Taoist had given as a gift.
There's no way. Other cooking utensils can't withstand the burning fire of the Huo Dou, even if the temperature is low.
After Lu Wenwu discovered that the Big Black Furnace was so powerful, he simply found a player with the weapon-refining profession to help him make some minor modifications, evolving it directly from an alchemy furnace into a pancake furnace, so that he could capture Maomao to serve as a strong man.
Maomao was concentrating on baking the pancakes, while he himself was dealing with the four Pegasus used by the War Apostle to pull.
Having had experience dealing with muscularized flesh and demonic horses before, this time the task was handled with ease.
Bleeding, cutting, deboning, cleaning, and cooking with superb cooking skills.
After a while, a pot of fragrant Tianma meat sauce was freshly cooked.
Lu Wenwu dipped the egg-filled pancake in it and ate it. Suddenly, he felt a strange taste released in his mouth, and his soul felt refreshed.
In the next few seconds, I felt that my ears and eyes were sharper.
"It's soft in the mouth, the meat is delicious, firm, and elastic, rich in energy but lacks a lot of spirit. Overall, it's average. It overwhelms the flavor of the pancake and egg itself, making it unsuitable for eating with pancakes. I've determined it's garbage."
The expert in the field of egg-filled pancakes gave an appropriate evaluation.
Zhao Lixing and Lan Shan happened to come together, so Lu Wenwu made two more and handed them over: "Freshly made, want to try it?"
It's not a good idea for him, a fan of egg-filled pancakes.
But for everyone else, it's a true feast for the taste buds.
"Wow! What a cute big dog! Whoosh!"
Lan Shan didn't eat it immediately after taking it. Instead, she tiptoed to look at Maomao who was seriously making fire, with a look of surprise on her face.
Zhao Lixing didn't even think about it. He thanked him and took a big bite.
After chewing a few times, his eyes suddenly shone with gold. He looked at the pancake in his hand in disbelief and exclaimed, "This! This is an egg-filled pancake!? I've never eaten such a delicious egg-filled pancake!"
"It's delicious, eat more. You won't be able to eat it anymore in the future. It's out of stock." Lu Wenwu handed him another one.
Zhao Lixing's mouth was full of sauce, and he was so hot that he asked vaguely, "Is there anything special about this egg-filled pancake?"
Lu Wenwu nodded and took over from Maomao to light the fire. While eating, he said, "Well, the raw materials are not easy to get."
"What materials? If you have any difficulties, tell me and I'll get them for you!" Zhao Lixing ate a few mouthfuls and immediately patted his chest to assure, "Flour, eggs, lettuce, meat, we have all of these at the base!"
"This meat sauce is made with the horses that pulled the War Apostles." Lu Wenwu said shockingly, "There are only four horses in total, and they're gone once they're eaten. Unless we can find another War Apostle, where else can we get the meat?"
Zhao Lixing: “!!!”
Oh shit!
I just ate something!!!
The four horses that the War Apostle used to pull the cart???
Is it too late for me to spit it out now?
Just when Deputy Captain Zhao was still confused, he suddenly felt a heat in his stomach, followed by a burning sensation like fire.
Big drops of sweat fell instantly, and the pain made him almost faint.
But the pain came quickly and went away quickly.
After a few seconds, he recovered somewhat exhausted and looked at his stomach with lingering fear.
"Why do I feel like I'm a little stronger than before?" Zhao Lixing was a little unbelievable.
"Swish! You are probably three times stronger now than before! After all, you are the flesh and blood of a supernatural creature, so it is normal for your strength to be enhanced." Lan Shan explained to him while stroking Maomao with satisfaction.
"I see."
Zhao Lixing suddenly felt that the world became more magical.
I actually have such an inhuman physique!
"Ding! Commander, there's an emergency. Please return to the command room immediately. Headquarters!"
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
After receiving the message, Zhao Lixing ran away like the wind, leaving the passing soldiers stunned and exclaiming in disbelief.
[Hint: Player [Mauris Paz] dies]
[Hint: Player [Glory Shield] died]
[Hint: Player [God of the Bone Throne] dies]
Three more dead?
Lu Wenwu and Lan Shan received player death notifications at the same time.
This person is also a member of the previous disgusted five-member group.
As expected, the level of Nong.Ni.Blackie is just that.
It seems that the team of "real strong ones" suffered a Waterloo.
Lu Wenwu ate the cake happily, and his mood became a little better.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Lixing ran back quickly, with no expression on his face.
"When are we leaving?" Lu Wenwu asked when he saw him come back. "I need your information, especially the other six apostles."
"I can't leave." Zhao Lixing said numbly, "Headquarters is gone."
Lu Wenwu and Lan Shan: “???”
What the hell?
Just gone?
"The headquarters was suddenly attacked by at least three apostles. Aside from the rescue team that was sent to us earlier, no one at the headquarters survived, including the former powerful beings from other worlds."
Zhao Lixing, who experienced great joy and sorrow, ups and downs in just a few hours, is now very numb.
He didn't know how to face this news.
He originally thought that he was doomed to die, but he was saved by Lu Wenwu, who also directly killed the war apostle and liberated the war field.
They also thought that this was the beginning of humanity's counterattack, and that they could launch a counterattack against the apostles in one go.
As a result, the three apostles joined forces to destroy the Salvation Army headquarters!
What the hell is this!
The fact that Zhao Lixing's mentality hasn't exploded yet is the result of his strong mind!
Lan Shan patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Xiao Zhao, take it easy. At least you've been promoted several levels now. Maybe you'll be promoted directly from deputy commander to commander of the Salvation Army. That's how my father took over as clan leader."
Zhao Lixing: “.”
"You comforted her well. Don't comfort her next time." Lu Wenwu quickly took her to the pancake stall and closed the door. "Now that the headquarters is gone, what are you going to do next? Wait here for the remaining troops to reunite? Or contact other scattered troops carrying out missions?"
"We have to go back to land first. This is the only way. We can't just abandon these people."
Zhao Lixing sighed deeply, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
"After we meet up with the reinforcements, we'll return to the battlefield we came from. If we can capture some territory, we'll have a chance to recuperate and contact the rest of the troops. The submarine has few resources, and staying at sea means death."
Lu Wenwu asked, "Is there a chance we can go directly to the War Apostle's base camp? They should have the most supplies stored there, and they should be in a state of disarray right now."
"It's too risky."
Zhao Lixing shook his head.
"With the death of the War Apostle, the remaining five apostles, except for the Apostle King, will inevitably come to divide up the resources. They will definitely go to the City of War."
"I know you're very strong, Mr. Tyrannosaurus, but even you wouldn't be able to handle five of them at once."
"Our headquarters has experienced a sudden change, and our military strength has plummeted. I know that Shallow Water cannot hold a true dragon. Our previous agreement is hereby invalidated. You and Miss Lan Shan do not need to worry about it."
"We'll talk about that later. Now we'll listen to you." Lu Wenwu shrugged. "You've given us so much information, saving us a lot of trouble. Favors must be repaid. When I need you, just tell me where to go, who to kill, and how many to kill."
Zhao Lixing didn't say anything else, just saluted Lu Wenwu with a wry smile, and then hurried back to the bridge to give commands.
Soon, the 7th Landing Regiment, which was waiting on the spot, met up with the reinforcements coming from headquarters.
They also learned the news that the headquarters had been destroyed, and they all looked dejected.
Since most of the troops that came were support troops and there were few senior generals, Zhao Lixing, who had been the deputy regiment commander for a few hours, was forced to take on the task and became the commander of the Second Army of the Salvation Army.
This made Lan Shan sigh repeatedly that the human world is unpredictable and things change too quickly.
Her experiences in the sea over the past three hundred years were not as rich as the few dungeons she had experienced after becoming a player.
On the way to the land, Lu Wenwu took out his mission reward - the Soul of War in a single room of a senior officer, while Maomao was guarding him beside him.
It looked like a small, flickering orange flame, floating quietly in Lu Wenwu's palm.
Refining?
Lu Wenwu didn't understand what the standard refining process was for this thing.
But there is definitely nothing wrong with just chewing it directly with the method of swallowing the sky and eating the earth.
Having made up his mind, he swallowed the Soul of War in one gulp.
The originally weak flame grew brighter during the process of being swallowed, illuminating every inch of flesh and blood as dazzling as shining crystal.
Lu Wenwu felt as if he had turned into Monkey King in the Bagua furnace, his whole body being madly burned by an invisible and intangible flame.
His entire body turned into a furnace, and everything inside was constantly being roasted.
The Soul of War is a treasure for cultivating the soul.
But who made Lu Wenwu's body and soul one?
He directly maximized the use of the Heaven-Devouring and Earth-Eating Technique, activating every cell in his body.
As a white smoke like steam rose from his body.
The muscles, which were already extremely strong, were strengthened again at this time, and the power gathered inside became even more powerful, like a ferocious beast about to be born.
After a while, Lu Wenwu slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at his personal panel and saw that his [Physical] attribute had not increased much, only reaching 4416 points.
But his mental strength has been greatly improved, directly reaching twice as much as before!
In addition, Lu Wenwu also successfully comprehended a skill from the Spirit of Vengeance.
[Name: Demonic Spear]
[Type: Skill]
[Level: Foundation]
[Introduction: Born from a skill within the priesthood of [Dimensional Demon War] in a certain world, it allows one to attach the concept of [Spear] to any part of the body, and grow through war and slaughter.]
[Note: This skill is a special skill type and has no proficiency level.]
After seeing the skill introduction, Lu Wenwu exclaimed that it was awesome.
He had just swallowed a gun, which gave his body a sharp effect, and now he had a matching skill.
This also connects with the family members!
Although the War Apostle is a bit of a jerk, he is undoubtedly a kind-hearted person who knows how to think about others.
If a skill is lost, the skill group will be lost directly!
It’s so perfect!
But the war apostle before didn’t seem to have this complete skill?
Only that gun had a castrated version.
Just as Lu Wenwu was testing the effects of his skills, several system prompts popped up in front of him.
[Dimensional Demon God War casts a glance at you, feeling a hint of curiosity about your existence.]
[Dimensional Demon War's favorability towards you increased: +1]
【Current Favorability: Indifferent (1)】
Lu Wenwu: “???”
Why is this war demon spying on me for no reason?
As a high-level dungeon player, Lu Wenwu quickly realized something after thinking for a moment.
If we can kill this war demon, we will definitely get a lot of free attributes.
Oh, no, the key to breaking the cycle of time must lie in these so-called dimensional demons.
Well, that's it!
So, what exactly is this so-called cycle of time?
While Lu Wenwu was still thinking, the submarine had already arrived at the shore, and a large number of war believers and nearly half of the soldiers had already landed.
To be safe, the remaining Salvation Army did not bring too many weapons and supplies.
If the combat plan is to recover the land, these super-large nuclear submarines cruising in the water are the last resort.
Lu Wenwu and Lan Shan also followed the vanguard out and looked at a city not far away - a city that was basically well preserved.
This was not where they first landed, nor was it a normal landing port. Instead, it was located under a hidden cliff, connected to the land above the cliff by a trestle made up of a large number of mechanical structures and steel cables.
According to those war believers who have regained their sanity, that is where they live on a daily basis.
The remaining troop carriers drove out, loaded with a large number of soldiers armed with live ammunition.
Lu Wenwu and Lan Shan were the first group to go to the city with them to explore whether there was any possibility of recovery.
At first, Lu Wenwu thought this should be a simple task that could be accomplished easily.
but
When he saw another team of armed soldiers through the bulletproof glass observation hole, and one of them asked them to stop the car, he suddenly felt that this experience would be interesting.
Tian Liang (E), Squad Leader, 2nd Squad, 3rd Company, 5th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Division, First Salvation Army: 559/600
Current state: cautious, alert, nervous
As fellow Salvation Army members, why should we be wary and nervous?
Previously, Lu Wenwu simply thought that the First Army and the Second Army were numbers set up for the convenience of management.
Now it seems
It seems that this is not the case at all!
Lu Wenwu glanced at the disheartened company commander and asked, "Are there still factional conflicts within the Salvation Army? Are they so serious that they've torn each other apart?"
"How do you know?"
The company commander was surprised at first, then his face turned bitter.
"It doesn't matter. Our factional conflict is indeed serious, and the Savior Army has been split into two parts."
"Strictly speaking, we are the part that split off from it. Our headquarters is in the deep sea. We are also known as the Second Salvation Army."
"The original Salvation Army was the first army of creation, with its headquarters deep underground. If they hadn't moved in the past two years..."
Before the company commander could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst of angry voices.
