Chapter 325: Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake also want to play Warhammer 40K (4K8)

Kakashi was not very good at it, and was not used to this space opera style of warfare.

It is completely different from the war between ninjas. Although Warhammer 40K is not real science fiction, but a dark space opera, and many times the combat theory is completely at the level of World War II, for Kakashi, a native of the ninja world, it is still a too advanced way of warfare.

Especially with the existence of super soldiers like the Astartes, their ‘primitive’ combat theory is even worse.

So, when faced with a joint attack by the elite Chaos Astartes squad, Kakashi was out of luck.

These Astartes worked closely together to surround Kakashi, with the Hellbeast Mecha as the vanguard for frontal fire suppression, the Shield Astartes for defense, and the Chaos Astartes holding other firearms for medium-range and long-range fire auxiliary suppression. On this basis, there were also melee units holding power axes and power swords to carry out surprise attacks.

What makes Kakashi most nervous is that he has no idea what kind of evil power these Chaos Astartes have. Those long-range attacks will hardly cause much damage to these guys, and there seems to be a BUFF of “friendly damage reduction”. Their own attacks on their own people will only cause sparks and will not cause any substantial damage.

Oh, it’s not that it can’t. The Hellbeast mecha can attack, but it is controlled. After suppressing the fire and surrounding Kakashi, it is directly arranged to attack the imperial soldiers.

Kakashi was surrounded and had no way to support others, nor could he break out. Ultimately, he was surrounded and killed by this elite Chaos Astartes.

Moreover, Kakashi also knew the identity of this Chaos Astartes – a combat squad of the Black Legion, formerly the Imperial Luna Wolves, the Sons of Horus, the Empire’s 16th Legion, and now the elite force of Chaos.

For the player Kakashi, these enemies are all elite monsters, and in a sense they can even be considered plot-killing enemies – because the strength of these enemies is far beyond what Kakashi can handle.

There is no doubt that after Kakashi accepted the power of the Emperor, his physical fitness reached the level of a powerful space warrior. Combined with his own ninja power, he directly experienced the true Kage-level strength, and he is considered powerful among the Kage-level. To use more classic words, he obtained the powerful area of ​​the Raikage level and possessed the almighty ninjutsu of the Third Hokage.

Such a Kakashi is a truly all-round ninja. In the ninja world, only BUG-level players like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama can defeat him.

However, in an interstellar battlefield of this level, the enemy is still an elite team from Chaos, just like Lu Bu who was besieged by masters such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Ma Chao, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, etc. No matter how invincible Lu Bu was in the Three Kingdoms era, he could only die with frustration and hatred.

It was during this siege that Kakashi continued to suffer damage and injuries. Although the single attacks of the Chaos Astartes did not cause much damage to him, at least they could not directly break the golden energy bestowed on him by the Emperor, they could weaken it little by little, and eventually break this gift from the Emperor and kill him.

During the process, these Chaos Astartes kept shouting words like “the running dog of the false emperor”, “the great demon blessed by the false emperor”, “the pitiful slave of the false emperor, die” with disdain, jealousy and hatred in their voices. Obviously, in the eyes of these former Imperial Astartes, now traitors and Chaos running dogs, the Emperor is the false emperor, and the false emperor is also a way for these guys to deny the emperor and prove that they are right.

Hearing these shouts, Kakashi felt a surge of anger in his heart. Although he did not believe in the Emperor, when he caught a glimpse of the Emperor, he could feel the sacrifices that the human Emperor had made for the human race.

Although he did not have a specific concept yet, that was an existence worthy of respect from Kakashi Hatake. What’s more, the emperor also gave him powerful strength, allowing him to gain the power to fight against chaos.

What? The Emperor is using Kakashi as a tool?

Well, is there a possibility that ninjas are originally tools? Although Kakashi believes that ninjas should value their partners and friends because of Uchiha Obito, he does not deny the perception that ninjas = tools. After all, this value has remained the same for thousands of years and no one has changed it. How could Kakashi have any perception that goes beyond his vision?

Therefore, Kakashi received the power and blessing from the Emperor, and was not at all unhappy about being used as a tool. He also did not care about the various strange names the Emperor addressed him when communicating with him. After all, you can’t expect a guy who has already given up to care so much.

In fact, in Kakashi’s mind, gaining powerful strength for nothing is not free, it requires a price, and the price he has to pay is to fight for the empire and to protect humanity, which in his opinion is not a price at all.

After all, regardless of what the Empire is like, the Chaos forces that want to kill all humans and torture and devour their souls must be defeated no matter how you look at it.

That’s why Kakashi felt angry after hearing the Chaos Astartes’ blasphemous words.

Unfortunately, anger is useless and cannot change the fact that you cannot win.

In the end, Kakashi reluctantly met his second death in this cesspool of a world, listening to the Chaos Astartes’ sarcastic remarks, “Humph, the false emperor’s lackeys are nothing more than this.”

After death, Kakashi found himself in a dark and gray world, standing on a twisted and terrifying mountain of corpses.

The whole area is lonely and desolate, like the end of death.

But in front of this dark and terrifying world, a faint golden color was shining, as if calling Kakashi.

Then, a will entered Kakashi’s consciousness.

[Your battle is not over yet, stand up, Hatake Kakashi, and continue your fight! ]

Along with this will that clearly came from the Emperor, Kakashi felt a powerful suction force coming, pulling his soul towards the place where the golden light was.

Then, Kakashi saw the light getting brighter and brighter, and finally crashed into a ball of light.

When he came to his senses, Kakashi found himself back on the battlefield, but much longer time had passed than expected, because the battle line in this area had completely collapsed, and only the bodies of the imperial soldiers were left in the trenches.

Moreover, terrifying artillery attacks appeared in the distance. When Kakashi looked over, he saw that the battle line had been pushed back by the Chaos side by at least ten kilometers.

These ten kilometers may not seem long, but you have to know that on the Cadian battlefield today, more than one billion imperial soldiers form a series of defense lines, which means that for every kilometer the front line retreats, hundreds of thousands or even millions of imperial soldiers will die.

Here, mortal armies die like straw, Space Marines die like minions, and only the elite Space Marines can survive longer.

Kakashi understood the situation on the battle front almost immediately, because the relevant information appeared directly in his mind, and he was also very clear that it was still the power of the Emperor that allowed him to understand everything in the shortest time.

Wherever the eyes reached, countless corpses were piled up like mountains, and the remaining heads of many imperial soldiers were open with their eyes. Emotions such as fear, anger, hatred, pain, and despair could be seen in those corpses. In the area reached by the eyes, there were more than 200,000 corpses piled up.

In addition, one can see some horrible and twisted chaotic creatures devouring corpses, or inserting corpses, such as heads, upper bodies, or strange parts, into places like poles. There is also an unknown guy who piled up many heads to form something like a Jingguan.

There were also some twisted purple things that were desecrating the corpses in a disgusting way, which made Kakashi’s scalp tingle and at the same time, a nameless anger surged in his chest.

It was also at this time that Kakashi was discovered by those chaotic monsters, and they surrounded Kakashi with ugly noises as if they saw prey. Seeing this, Kakashi subconsciously wanted to fight, but soon gave up because this place had become the enemy’s territory, and staying here would only be a waste of life.

Although he could still be resurrected, it would take time, and the current imperial side obviously would not allow him to waste this time.

So, Kakashi used the power of the emperor without hesitation to spread his golden wings, and then turned into a stream of light and headed towards the imperial front line, preparing to meet up with the imperial army first and then regroup.

During this period, Kakashi naturally could not avoid being intercepted and hit by artillery fire, but with his heart set on escaping and relying on his ninja abilities, Kakashi finally managed to reach the new defense line of the Imperial Army without any danger.

His appearance as a living saint naturally boosted the morale of the soldiers on the front line, but that was all he could do. Kakashi was in a complicated mood and even felt ashamed when faced with such fanatical morale, because the previous group of people were in the same situation. Those soldiers firmly believed that he, a living saint, could lead the empire to victory, but he was easily defeated by the Black Legion, causing the defense line to collapse and almost all the soldiers there were killed.

Such a huge sacrifice made Kakashi, who was trusted, feel extremely heavy, and even breathing seemed to become a little difficult.

However, Kakashi did not have time to think about it, because the enemy launched a new round of attacks at this time, and the Chaos Astartes from the previous black legion appeared again.

This made Kakashi’s scalp tingle. He knew very well that continuing to fight would only be a repeat of the last process, because he had tried his best in the last battle. Although he had just become a living saint and had many things to adapt to, even if he did adapt, his combat effectiveness would not be much stronger. In a battlefield where ambushes and sneak attacks were not possible, his chances of winning were really high.

Just when Kakashi was struggling, suddenly, someone let out a deafening roar, shouting “For the Emperor, kill these blasphemous traitors”, and a large group of Astartes dressed in black, blue, red and green came out from the back.

This time, it was the Astartes from the Empire, with a total number of twenty-two people.

The number is not large, but on this kind of battlefield, it is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Imperial Army on this side of the battlefield. Even Kakashi’s eyes lit up after seeing it, and he suddenly had strong confidence in the upcoming battle.

By the way, this mixed Astartes with non-uniform colors is actually not in line with the original work, because according to the original work, the Astartes all have their own chapters, and basically act in the form of chapters. Each chapter has its own armor color and characteristics, and the Astartes placed by Uchiha Kei in the plot here have a feeling of temporarily forming an action team after accidentally meeting the Imperial Astartes who were separated from the main force.

Well, actually, there is no need to feel it. This rainbow-colored Astartes squad actually has such a background. It is an action team temporarily formed after being separated from their own regiment.

Anyway, in this kind of meat grinder battlefield, there is no need to care so much.

Kakashi immediately joined the assault of this rainbow-colored regiment, adding a new color to this makeshift regiment.

The Imperial Astartes were stunned for a moment when Kakashi, a stranger, joined them, and then they realized that he was a living saint. Their morale was greatly boosted, and they also felt the power of the Emperor being with them.

Thus, a small-scale super soldier war began.

With the help of this rainbow-colored Astartes, Kakashi used his abilities as a ninja to the fullest and quickly wiped out half of the opposing black army, forcing this army to retreat temporarily.

Although the Imperial Astartes suffered casualties, they did win. Morale soared and inspired the mortal army, which actually led to the reverse of the battle line.

The high morale scene made Kakashi, a lazy guy, excited. He felt unprecedented passion and even had the illusion that he could win.

Then, a BOSS-level unit emerged from the Chaos side.

This time, Khorne, one of the four evil gods of chaos, directly sent out a great demon, and the great demon also brought a large number of basic demon units from Khorne.

This thing is not something that ordinary Astartes can deal with. Usually the Empire has to send out Grey Knights who are specifically targeting demons.

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen now, so a one-sided massacre occurred. Kakashi and his friends couldn’t defeat the Great Demon of Khorne at all. Even though this Great Demon was an unknown thing in the original work, they couldn’t stand the fact that the ‘Great Demon’ was a BOSS-level unit of the Chaos side.

So, led by a terrifying, traditional demon with red-skinned demon wings, over six meters tall, full of explosive muscles, a long tail and ferocious teeth, the 88 demon legions representing the Holy Number of Khorne overwhelmed the rainbow-colored Imperial Astartes squad. Kakashi eventually faced his third death with reluctance and powerlessness as the Great Demon of Khorne pierced his body with a huge blade.

Then, Kakashi began to repeat the process of resurrecting, finding friendly forces, fighting, and dying.

Although he is immortal and can be resurrected due to the power of the Emperor, he can also continue to grow and improve his personal strength in this bloodthirsty and cruel battlefield, but in such a cruel battlefield, where his teammates are very strong and the enemy is even more powerful, Kakashi’s personal strength is really not enough.

Even if the top ninjas of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were on the battlefield, they would only become unlucky guys crushed by the Chaos Side with absolute power.

Powerlessness, helplessness, pain, unwillingness, anger, sadness, despair, numbness.

Kakashi’s emotions were basically changing like this. He had become numb from failure and resurrection again and again. He just kept repeating the resistance that he had no objection to but had to do, and then watched people from the Empire die one after another.

Millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions…

In just three days, Kakashi discovered that the death toll on the Empire side had exceeded 100 million, and the number was still increasing. The brave and fearless Cadians were fighting a war on their home planet without fear of death, and yet they were dying like weeds.

As an outsider, Kakashi wanted to change all this, but he was extremely powerless. Even if he possessed the power of an emperor, even if he was the top ninja in the ninja world, even if these things were combined together, he would have no objection.

It seems that there is only despair left in this world.

In the mental network world, Uchiha Kai, who used the time acceleration effect to allow Kakashi to experience three days of experience in the game world in a short period of time, rubbed his chin and couldn’t help but wonder if he had overexerted himself. After three days of Warhammer 40K’s special war, although Kakashi’s mind had become tougher than before and he no longer gave up, he seemed to have collapsed. He had a feeling of numbness, despair and depression, which was even darker and more cruel than after the death of Minato Namikaze and his wife.

Scratching his head, Uchiha Kai wondered whether he should end the game halfway. After all, if he continued, who knows what would happen to Kakashi’s mentality.

However, when Namikaze Minato and Hatake Sakumo learned of Uchiha Kei’s idea, they said in tacit understanding, “No need, just continue like this.”

These two people even made another request, which was that they also wanted to enter this game world and participate in this extremely cruel war.
