Chapter 418: They came prepared|
The human realm.
The Confederate.
The mountaintop mansion.
Space itself broke open.
An elegant blue-dress palace maid appeared from thin air.
She looked around curiously, asking: âGongzi, is this the human realm?â
As she appeared abruptly, a sense of chill and irresistible sharpness was drifting from her body.
Both Ye Fei Li and Zhang Ying Hao stood up in absolute caution.
Anna walked forward to block in front of Gu Qing Shan.
âWho are you?â Anna shouted to ask.
Shannu slightly tip-toed to see Gu Qing Shanâs body behind Anna.
She lightly curtsied: âYou must be gongziâs friends, I am gongziâs personal swordâ
Gongzi?
Sword?
Everyone were confused to no end.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.
He stretched, then commented: âWhat a long battle that wasâ
Anna asked first of all: âThat girl over there said she was your sword, was does that mean?â
âWhatâs the situation in hell?â the President asked.
âWhatâs Huang Quan like? Are they strong?â Ye Fei Li asked.
âWe got a report that hell is gone, will they be appearing again?â Zhang Ying Hao asked.
Monarch Varona just shrugged with her arms crossed, saying nothing.
âLong story short, everything is dealt with, the human realm is safe nowâ Gu Qing Shan smiled and answered.
Everyone exhaled from relief.
âCall Liao Xing back, thereâs no need to prepare an escape spacecraft anymoreâ Gu Qing Shan said.
[Understood, sir] Impartial Goddessâ voice answered him.
Anna pointed at Shannu and insisted on asking: âWho is she?â
âLet me introduce you, this is a sword spirit, a sentient sword spirit, sheâs called Shannuâ Gu Qing Shan explained.
Shannu once again curtsied to greet them: âItâs a pleasure to meet you allâ
âAh⊠helloâ
âItâs our pleasureâ
Everyone replied.
âSword spirit? Hmph, looking like thatâŠâ Anna mumbled in a low voice.
At this point, the sky outside darkened.
It was only noon at the moment, but the sky went almost completely dark.
âIâm sensing an unprecedented amount of essence of death thatâs pouring into the world, whatâs going on?â Monarch Varona frowned and asked.
As a Wood Elementalist, sheâs the most sensitive when essence of death appears.
âItâs probably because Huang Quan is currently fusing with our world ââââ while Gu Qing Shan was explaining he was cut off.
The Holo-Brain in his breast pocket lit up.
Impartial Goddess reported: [Sir, the entire world is being drowned in darkness, terrifying monsters had appeared in the sky, please take a look immediately]
A screen was projected.
At various locations in the world.
The sky went dark.
Countless strange and weird monsters appeared above.
They were looking down at the human cities below, roaring in excitement.
The monster seemed like they already couldnât wait anymore, but because they were blocked by something, they couldnât enter the human realm at all.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
These are demons.
âWhatâs going on? Huang Quan and the human realm is merging, the world should only get stronger, shouldnât it?â he muttered.
On the various screens showing places around the world, he even noticed a Demon Lord waiting in the air.
Out of nowhere, lines of blood-red text flashed in his vision.
[Warning!]
[The human realmâs protective barrier is weakening, the barrier is estimated to disappear in 1 hour]
[After one hour, the demon army will invade the human realm]
[The human realm is about to be destroyed]
Gu Qing Shan was completely shaken.
âNo, this shouldnât be!â he muttered.
From the void of space, a blurred flash of light came.
The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook appeared.
âWhy did you come here?â Shannu asked in surprise.
âIâm here to report somethingâ the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook sighed as it spoke.
It quickly told them about the Divinitiesâ scheme.
âYou mean, the gods have given up on the world and the human realm is about to be destroyed?â the President muttered in a hoarse voice.
âThese pieces of trash Divinities!â Ye Fei Li angrily roared.
âWhat about Huang Quan? Is it still fusing with the human realm?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âIt is, but thereâs not much meaning in thatâ
âWhy?â
âAfter countless ages, the dead of all 6 Samsara worlds combined only managed to be a match for the demons. After this, even if all the humans in the human realm were to be turned into dead soldiers, there are simply not enough numbers, and they are too weak to fight against the demonsâ
âThe world of Huang Quan is about to be empty, so we have no men to useâ
âCan the protective barrier of the human realm be turned back on?â Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked.
âBecause of the Divinitiesâ plan to get rid of the human realmâs protective barrier, the barrier is about to be goneâ
âThanks to your efforts of fusing the two worlds, a new barrier will form. This process usually requires 7 days, but because thereâs nothing in Huang Quan retaliating against it, it should be shortened to about 7 hoursâ
7 hours!
This was a depressingly long period of time.
As soon as the worldâs protective barrier disappears, the demon army can immediately swoop into the human realm.
After 7 hours, when the new barrier is formed, the world itself will have already been destroyed!
Are there no other ways?
Looking at the screen, Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist tight.
In the sky, more and more demons were gathering, their screeches and screams went through the world barrier, echoing to become louder and louder.
Until a certain point when the sounds of the demons were resounding all over the world.
Every human looked at this in despair, stunned and unable to do anything.
Riots and discord began to ripple across the world.
In just one hour, the world barrier will disappear.
Thereâs no time left to do anything.
Who wouldâve thought, all his efforts up to now would end like this.
The President walked over and patted Gu Qing Shanâs shoulder.
âYou did your best, let humanity take care of the restâ
âSir, you mean?â
âEveryone has a duty to fight for their own right to survive, Iâm going to give a national speech to encourage everyone to fight to the bitter endâ
âIndeed, Iâll have to prepare to encourage my subjects as wellâ Monarch Varona tied her hair up.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
Humanity is still too weak, they are no match for the demons.
If war breaks out, it will be nothing but a one-sided massacre.
Are there any other ways?
Gu Qing Shan tried to think of some countermeasures.
Useless.
Everything is futile.
Thereâs already a Demon Lord looming above the sky.
Donât make light of the Demon Lords just because they were easily killed by the Forgetting River and 7-colored spear, in a normal war situation, a Demon Lord is unbeatable.
â-even a Demon Lord is about to come out, who in this world can match up against a Demon Lord?
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
At this time, some glowing text scrolled through the War God UI.
[User attention please, in 5 minutes, the world of Huang Quan and the human realm will fuse]
[User attention please, reinforcements from Huang Quan are coming]
[Due to your great deeds in both the human realm and Huang Quan, reinforcements will first seek you out]
Gu Qing Shan muttered: âReinforcements from Huang QuanâŠâ
At this point in time, seeing the worlds âreinforcements from Huang Quanâ again, Gu Qing Shan really doesnât know whether to laugh or cry.
Thinking for a bit, he tried hopefully asking the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook: âWill Huang Quan give the human realm a hand?â
The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook answered: âThe weapons think that they should at least give as much effort as they can, theyâll come here when the fusion is doneâ
It added: âRight, a few of the repaired Huang Quan Machines will also comeâ
Gu Qing Shanâs eyes lit up, asking: âAre there any special machines that can go against the Demon Lords?â
âThere isnât. Demon Lords are too powerful, no regular power is not enough against themâ
With his fantasy broken, Gu Qing Shan fell silent again.
Even if heâs lived through two lives, even if he was the supreme commander of humanityâs army, even if he already found the secret between the worlds, he doesnât have any solution to this.
He has ran out of ideas.
This is true despair.
All of a sudden ââ
Dong!
A sound came from the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
Thereâs nothing.
How strange, there clearly was a sound.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
It sounds a lot like someone pounding on the door.
â-no wait!
This sound is coming from the space around the room.
Gu Qing Shan looked back up.
Since moments unknown, the world had fallen into silence.
Gu Qing Shanâs eyes swept across the room.
The President was scowling with his hand on his chin, as if he was thinking of the proper words to use.
Monarch Varona was holding a mirror, fixing her appearance.
Ye Fei Li appeared to be furious, but more so at a loss.
Zhang Ying Hao has kept his calm, currently doing something on his Holo-Brain.
Anna was staring at Shannu full of caution and questions.
But they were all frozen.
Their expressions were frozen, their bodies stood absolutely still, unmoving.
Only the black dog could move.
It silently went in front of Anna and sat down.
The black dog seems to be on extreme alert.
But from the looks of it, it had decided to protect Anna.
âGongzi, the flow of time has been stoppedâ Shannu came next to Gu Qing Shan and whispered.
â[Time Stanch]?â Gu Qing Shan realized something and asked.
âIndeed, itâs [Time Stanch]â
âWhy can I still move?â
âIt was on purpose, seems like they came preparedâ
At the same time, the two cards inside Gu Qing Shanâs Thought Sea started to vibrate.
Vengeance Deck, Great Ghost General.
Vengeance Deck, Asura King.
