Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1561: Descent!!!

Reneedol stood atop her throne and observed Gu Qing Shan.

"If the Three Wraith Lords had been acting at their full strength, you wouldn't have been able to stop them, but you used a despicable means to assassinate them" she slowly said.

Gu Qing Shan simply closed his eyes without saying or doing anything.

Seeing him not reacting, Reneedol disinterestedly continued: "Unfortunately, this sort of assassination is useless against me——- I don't even need to act, with the power of my [Plate of Destiny's End] alone, I can bring you to your death"

Layers of dark barriers appeared around her body, shielding her.

Gu Qing Shan calmly smirked and replied: "Reneedol, you're relying too much on power and equipment to crush others in combat, but you don't understand combat at all"

"Foolish! These are the Divine Artifacts of the Pantheon's past, only I am qualified to use them—- why else would I not use them in battle?" Reneedol scoffed.

Gu Qing Shan raised his sword and sighed: "Look at you, stealing Shroud's power to turn yourself into a solid walnut, but you don't even understand what I actually did to kill them"

"You said that I stole Shroud's power?" Reneedol's gaze exuded sharp killing intent.

Her rage had been completely lit up.

"Death God" she angrily shouted: "I am the master of Fate, even the Apocalypse must heed my commands. I only need a single incantation to crush all the laughable living beings like you!"

Gu Qing Shan clenched his sword tightly but suddenly lost focus in his eyes.

Reneedol had realized the changes in his emotions and suddenly laughed, mockingly told him:

"Last time, it was Scarlet who helped you stop it, but this time, you're going to face its great power yourself!"

As soon as she said that.

In an instant, the entire grand hall had vanished together with the world, turning into nothingness.

Apocalypse, [Great Flood]!

But an entire second before the Apocalypse arrived, Gu Qing Shan had already vanished together with a mass of white fog.

——World Technique, [Fog Realm Descent]!

The all-devouring nothingness became distorted due to the loss of its target before it completely vanished.

The grand hall returned to normal.

Reneedol looked around with a grim expression.

"He fled" Clotho commented.

"He grasped the circumstances very quickly. He left this place at the very last split second right before the Apocalypse appeared" Atropos followed up.

"What now?" Clotho asked.

Reneedol said: "What a waste of my Apocalypse summoning—- we need to leave right now, don't let the giant eyeball discover us"

As soon as she said that, the situation changed——-

The entire ceiling of the grand hall vanished as if it had just been erased, exposing everything within to the outside.

Sword qi then erupted from all around the grand hall and shot towards the sky, striking the giant eyeball.

The giant eyeball paused.

How could someone have dared to ambush me in this world?

It stopped caring about the angels in the sky and looked down.

「 You again, an insect whose eyes are blinded by their desires, deluding themselves into thinking they can borrow my power 」

It stared straight at Reneedol in the grand hall and coldly declared.

Reneedol suddenly realized that she couldn't move at all.

"Damn you, Rhode!" she loudly cursed.

A blurred image then flew in from afar and slashed at her torso, which sent her flying.

The Earth sword!

…

Thousands of miles away, Gu Qing Shan had raised the other three swords in front of himself to guard, but he still received an intense strike to his chest.

Pff!

He spat up a mouthful of blood.

——the double reflected damage from the [Plate of Destiny's End]!

Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change at all and formed a hand seal to stop the bleeding.

Once again, he vanished without a trace.

…

On the other hand, having been sent flying by the Earth sword, Reneedol fell straight under the giant eyeball's gaze.

「 Pitiful insect, tell me where the frozen corpse is, or else you will die here 」

Invisible fluctuations manifested all around her before turning into blood and swiftly trapping Reneedol inside.

Crak crak creakkkk!

The dark barriers around her were being crushed one by one, even the armor she was wearing began to crack.

"No—- I don't know where the frozen corpse is either!" Reneedol exclaimed in desperation.

…

At a far end of the world.

Gu Qing Shan was standing in the middle of a graveyard and casually picked up a few ants on the ground, muttering to himself: "Still not dead?"

…

Bang!

A booming noise rang out from above the Wraith Temple in the middle of the blood.

The [Plate of Destiny's End] that Reneedol was wearing had been completely broken.

At this moment, she finally realized that she was at death's door.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you where it is!"

Reneedol shouted out loud.

The blood scattered around.

With the shadow of death temporarily disappearing, she was finally able to breathe in some fresh air.

「 I will give you three minutes. Keep in mind not to deceive me, or else I will turn you into one of my combat puppets, your soul will be subjected to eternal torture 」the giant eyeball declared.

Reneedol was breathing heavily while numerous thoughts crossed her mind.

Damn it.

How would I know where the frozen corpse is?

Only Shroud knows that information!

But I can't lie either.

This monster's telepathic capabilities are overwhelming, as soon as it noticed even a bit of discrepancy, it would skin me alive!

Do I… have no other choice…

While she hesitated, a figure slowly flew up and hovered in front of her.

Demon Dragon!

He took off his yaksha mask and crushed it.

"Choose"

"——Your majesty the Grand Empress, this is your final chance. Either you surrender and join us, or be killed right here and now by this monster" Demon Dragon casually declared.

Reneedol trembled and clenched her teeth: "How would it benefit you to force me like this?"

"Benefit?" Demon Dragon parroted this word, then shook his head.

"Grand Empress, despite all the suffering I've gone through for your sake, you didn't even bother to remember my name, leading to those three old coots killing me off"

"But now… since the three old coots are dead, I won't be petty about it"

Demon Dragon then bowed towards Reneedol.

"Venerable Grand Empress, if I can convince you to surrender and join us, I will have made a great contribution, that is all"

"Great contribution…" Reneedol muttered.

A bright red glow flashed through Demon Dragon's gaze as he respectfully continued: "Indeed, within this entire Reality Gate, only you have the frozen corpse's hair and are capable of drawing the outside Apocalypses' attention—- you will become a true ruler, not a weakling whose survival is threatened by a monster"

The giant eyeball suddenly declared: 「 Three minutes is up 」

Blood surged forward again to surround Reneedol and Demon Dragon from all sides.

"Grand Empress, you are about to die, make your decision quickly" Demon Dragon told her.

Reneedol clenched her teeth and screamed: "I accept!"

Demon Dragon lightly sighed and smiled.

He formed a hand seal in and quickly whispered: "Envoy"

"The substitute had surrendered and requested the bestowal of Apocalyptic power"

"Repeat, this is a 1st priority 5th category mission, requesting immediate bestowal of Apocalyptic power!"

Far above the sky, a thin strand of light rapidly shot towards them.

This strand of light entered Reneedol's body.

Reneedol immediately froze up.

"This… is this the true power of the Apocalypse?" she exhaled with an incredibly moving expression on her face.

…

At the same time.

A burst of black flames suddenly appeared on Gu Qing Shan's body.

"Hm? You're back already?" Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

The black flames manifested into a black dog and were about to talk to Gu Qing Shan when his expression suddenly changed.

He released his telepathy across the entire world.

"NO!" his voice resounded into Reneedol's ears.

"Absolutely do not do it, this is a true Apocalypse! Reneedol, if you surrender to it, everything will be destroyed!" Boss hurriedly tried to persuade her.

Reneedol closed her eyes and abruptly opened them again.

"No need to care about me, Shroud"

She raised her hand, sensing the unfamiliar power within it.

The seven strands of the frozen corpse's hair fluttered behind her back like tentacles that had just come to life.

Reneedol took a deep breath and muttered:

"I was already about to be killed by that monsters, but now that I've obtained even more power"

"My Fate would definitely not be to die!"

"As for anything else, I've never cared about them in the first place"

A strange aura began to radiate from her body, almost like a corrosive sea breeze.

This breeze seemed slow, but it rapidly filled this entire world.

The giant eyeball in the sky had recognized this aura.

「 You ignorant insect… you've communicated with the Apocalypses from outside the Reality Gate! 」

For the very first time, the giant eyeball sounded a bit panicked.

"That's right, this is because you forced my hands"

Reneedol sighed and declared.

Various fluctuations began to manifest in the void of space, but they couldn't be noticed with the naked eye.

…

At this exact moment, in another location of this world——-

Tiny runes of light manifested from the void of space.

All the runes converged together into a humanoid form.

A young girl wearing modern-looking military combat clothes had descended at this very moment.

——-Su Xue Er.

She still had some blood on her body, apparently having just escaped from an intense battle.

A harmonious female voice resounded around her, continuously reporting:

[Arrived in the past]

[In twenty seconds, a true Apocalypse will show itself]

[You may now begin preparation]

Su Xue Er took out a Card from among her hair.

"Release"

Poof!

The Card manifested into a black pistol.

[Target: Gu Qing Shan]

[Initiating the only feasible rescue plan!]

[Preparing—-]

Su Xue Er reached her hand forward.

The black pistol in her hand slowly changed its form and quickly turned into a long sniper rifle
