The Death List Novel - Chapter 446
Chapter 446 Starry Sky Mystery
“I told you before, it’s a certain aspect!” Kelly’s expression was somewhat helpless as she continued to explain, “The Broken Star Sky really needs more apostles to perform missions in another world, and I don’t want them to cause unnecessary internal conflicts, but … there are exceptions!”
At this point, Kelly’s expression was a little strange. She turned around and looked at Didi. Little Goblin curled his lips and left the table with his bowl of rice. He went to his room to eat. It wasn’t an apostle, and with it present, Kelly couldn’t communicate with Qin Lun about the starry sky.
“This little servant of yours is really smart and cute. Just give it to me!” Kelly smiled and picked up the bowl, then started stuffing food into her mouth.
The apostles themselves had a low appetite for food, but Kelly was a martial artist before becoming an apostle. She ate like a war and did not change this habit after becoming an apostle.
Qin Lun automatically filtered out Kelly’s words again and smiled as he gave the female martial artist a big elbow. “Please give me some pointers!”
“It’s fine if I continue, but first, tell me the truth. How many mission worlds have you experienced? The urban wars and Toril worlds are based on two normal mission worlds!” Kelly pouted and asked mockingly.
Qin Lun lowered his head and recalled it for a moment, then smiled and said, “It’s about nine times!”
“Nine? There are only nine of the four urban wars combined with Toril World?” Kelly paused for a moment and looked up at Qin Lun. After being confirmed by the young man’s unwavering gaze, her expression was a little peculiar.
‘”I learned from Milleras that you seem to have obtained the Ancient Era’s Legacy of an Elf Hunter! If you contact your Jungle Hunter profession like this, you should have the heart of a martial artist? You’re about to advance to Second Grade in less than ten missions …”
Without waiting for Qin Lun’s feedback, Kelly sighed and said, “The other apostles have only just successfully changed professions at your stage! I don’t know why, but every time I encounter someone like you who is advancing at a cheating speed, I want to bite you to death!”
“Haha, you are a high-level expert known as the Golden Jackal. Do you also feel jealous?” Qin Lun chuckled.
‘”Sister is a martial artist who has been tempered and refined before entering the Broken Star Sky. She is even stronger than an Elementary Apostle. Even so, Sister only advanced to Second Grade after twelve quest worlds. The only world that received a Gold Evaluation is still at the Elementary Grade.” Kelly puffed up her cheeks and glared at Qin Lun as she fiercely nibbled on her elbow. “Do you think the Golden Evaluation is a cabbage spread all over the street?”
“This … you haven’t told me about the Chaos Team yet!” Qin Lun watched the elbow quickly disappear under Kelly’s white teeth, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and embarrassedly changed the subject.
“I once told you that small teams would encounter irresistible bottlenecks at certain stages, so they would have to be disbanded. Survivors would join large teams, right?” Kelly said in a deep tone, not knowing what she remembered.
“Yes, through the experience of the fortress team in Toril World, I also understand a bit!” Qin Lun pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.
“The destruction of the fortress is indeed a typical example. However, this is only part of the story.” Kelly’s gaze was somewhat deep as she slowly said, “It is only one of the responsibilities of the apostles to perform missions for the Broken Universe. In addition, the universe sometimes sends apostles to participate in foreign wars …”
“Foreign war?” A message flashed through Qin Lun’s mind like lightning, and he couldn’t help but blurt out, “Samsara? Superstring space?”
“Have you come into contact with him?” Kelly raised her eyebrows in surprise and nodded. “Since you’ve been on a death hunt, there’s no need for me to explain.”
“No, those Samsara cultivators I have come into contact with are very weak. Most of them are newbies. That is a low demon world that was first developed!” Thinking back to the Ghost Warriors and the Illusory Demon World, Yoshida Junko, Matthew, Jonathan, Xiaodao, and the others’ figures flashed through Qin Lun’s mind. “That was the second time I had performed an Otherworldly Mission.”
“A new alternate space-time world?” A strange light flashed through Kelly’s eyes. However, she didn’t say anything else this time. She only slowly nodded her head. “The Broken Universe and Superstring Space, Samsara and our apostles are very similar in a sense, but they are essentially positive and negative. They can’t coexist at all.”
Following Kelly’s narrative, Qin Lun learned the deeper secrets of the so-called “death hunt” mission in the Illusory Demon World.
The shattered starry sky could only exist by plundering the world origin of other different spacetime, while the superstring space was the manager of spacetime. It could be said that one was a robber and the other a policeman. They were born enemies.
Due to the restriction of certain rules, Samsara and Apostles who entered a different space-time world at the same time would be at the same level of overall strength. For example, each side has one high-level, two middle-level, three low-level, and so on.
However, whether it was the shattered starry sky or the superstring space, when they counted the strength of their personnel, they could only calculate the surface data, not their actual combat strength. Therefore, there was a problem here, because the strength of the apostles and Samsara Cultivators were both high and low at the same time.
For example, even though Qin Lun had yet to become a Second Grade apostle, ordinary Second Grade apostles were simply unable to deal with him. If he had designed a trap, the higher apostles would have died at his hands if they hadn’t been careful.
Therefore, in view of this situation, the Broken Star System could only choose exceptionally outstanding apostles through raising Gu, and then send them to the new world to compete with the superstring space.
In the past, Kelly had referred to the bottleneck of the small guild, not only the ordinary world that was becoming more and more difficult, but also the mission world where the shattered starry sky had sent apostles to compete and kill each other for the purpose of raising Gu.
In such a world, apostles would not be able to share missions, but would instead perform completely competing alien missions. The losing party usually suffers heavy human losses. In fact, the first time the fortress team had failed, they had fallen on such a competitive mission.
In contrast, high-level apostles like large teams were like Kelly. The high demon world and the battle with the superstring space were their bottlenecks. Countless high-level apostles, even legendary apostles, would die in the war between the shattered starry sky and superstring space.
“The Shattered Universe needs teams like Chaos. In an alien world where there are only Apostles, Chaos is the touchstone for other Apostle teams, because they sometimes give up the main plot and hunt down other Apostles to obtain more and better equipment than the quest plot.”
Kelly smiled bitterly and said helplessly, “In the foreign battles with the superstring space, chaos teams are sharp knives that shatter the starry sky. Although they don’t want to admit it, after fighting against other apostles, the chaos teams are more adapted to the foreign battles with the reincarnations. In this respect, they are indeed the strongest team in the Horn of Devils.”
Qin Lun nodded silently. No wonder Primordial Chaos didn’t mind what he did in Atlantis. It turned out that the primal chaos guild would often trick other apostle guilds themselves.
Qin Lun didn’t ask Kelly whether the chaos team was united or not. In fact, after experiencing so many mission worlds, he had come to a realization.
Just like the Phantom Brigade he encountered in Hunter’s World, the members of the brigade were all evil, but the bonds between their companions were deeper than those of ordinary people. Sometimes, the friendship between life and death was stronger than any other emotion. This was the case with the Phantom Brigade, and the old members of the Primordial Chaos Guild were probably the same.
In that case, the Killer Demon Team would one day live and die together?
An unbelievable thought flashed through Qin Lun’s mind, but it was immediately thrown out of his mind. Although the murderers appeared to be amiable on the surface, in reality, their hearts were even more closed and indifferent. Their vigilance and fear towards each other were deeper, and it was even harder for them to reach trust.
It was unknown how long it would take to have a life and death bond. Perhaps at that time, there were no fewer than one or two of the five murderers left.
“Alright, thank you for your hospitality. It’s time for me to return to the guild camp!” Kelly burped contentedly, stood up and said, “Help me thank that little fellow. He’s pretty good at cooking!”
“Wait a moment, Lord Kelly. One last question. How can we safely turn the native of the Broken Universe into an apostle?” Qin Lun suddenly remembered a question that had troubled him for a long time and immediately blurted it out.
“You want to bring your servants into the mission world?” Kelly looked at Qin Lun in surprise, then shook her head with a smile, “I advise you to give up this idea.”
“Why?” Qin Lun asked with a frown.
“You’ve participated in the city war. You should know the history of the Holy City of Atlantis, right?” Kelly asked with a flickering gaze.
“I know a bit! I’ve also obtained an item that allows the starry sky natives to simulate alien visitors in a short period of time. However … the success rate is too low!” Qin Lun said with a bitter smile.
Apart from Atlantis’ time-space transformers, Qin Lun had also received two bottles of Void Beast Potions, one for Elder Malfoy and the other for Didi. However, Didi was useless in the end. He gave it back to Qin Lun, and it was still in his storage space.
“Well, I’ve heard of Atlantis’ invention, but there’s actually an easier way for the apostles to bring the starry natives into the mission world.”
A smile appeared in Kelly’s eyes. “That’s the contract of servants. As long as you sign the contract of servants and share a certain amount of longevity soul with the natives, you will be able to turn the natives of the starry sky into servant apostles.”
“It’s that simple?” Qin Lun was slightly stunned, and then he remembered the scene of Frank’s resurrection. He had originally thought that Frank could become an apostle and that his soul should have something special about it, but he hadn’t expected that it would still be the 50 Longevity Soul Limit.
“Simple? If so, why didn’t Atlantis, who was surrounded by several apostolic cities, use it?” Kelly shook her head and smiled bitterly. “If you want to turn an ordinary native into an apostle, you need to share 50 Longevity Soul Points with your master. At the same time, your master can’t be less than 50 Longevity Soul Points. If the starry sky determines that a native possesses the strength of a beginner rank apostle, then it’s 100 Longevity Soul Points. Your master can’t be less than 100 Longevity Soul Points. Second Grade is 200 Longevity Points … and so on!”
Qin Lun also smiled bitterly. Even if he added the upper limit of his longevity soul that he had assigned to Frank, he was still only at the upper limit of 197 Longevity Soul Points. Not even an elementary native servant could change. No wonder the Starry Native who had become an apostle had never heard of him before.
