âGo help her!â
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand and sent the Chao Yin sword away.
In the sky, Shannu received the Chao Yin sword while still wielding the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, then immediately exerted all of her sword skills.
One sword was instantly clad in frost, the other enveloped by flames.
Both swords were swung at once!
In an instant, the sky turned into a sea of fire.
Clotho who had just returned were enveloped by fire and ice.
ââ-followed by a Mind Sword.
[Rahuâs Eclipse of Sun and Moon]!
A gigantic figure howled as it crossed through the void of space and instantly pierced through Clothoâs body.
Without waiting for Clotho to react at all, a streak of light shot across the sky.
This strike was extremely fast, so much so that Clotho didnât even get a chance to resist it.
Shuââ-
The Earth sword wielded by Gu Qing Shan pierced through Clothoâs chest.
Drifting sword images bloomed from within Clothoâs body like a lotus of bloody swords.
Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]!
Clotho was slashed to bits by countless sword images, scattered into the wind, and disappeared.
âWhat does that matter?â
Another female voice sounded.
As the torrent of swords from earlier disappeared, Reneedol and Atropos reappeared.
She lightly waved her hand.
The darkness around her gathered into the form of a woman.
Clotho
Clotho had reappeared by her side.
âHer fate lies in my hand, even if you kill her, I can easily grant her a new lifeâ Reneedol stated without being disturbed at all.
Clotho stared straight at Shannu and said: âSo it was you...â
Gu Qing Shan immediately shouted: âShannu, return!â
Shannu entered the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and disappeared with the Chao Yin sword into the void of space, swiftly returning to Gu Qing Shanâs hand.
âClotho, what do you mean by that?â Reneedol furrowed her brows and asked.
âShe is Red Wraith, the one who killed her last time was herâ
âAh, that small detail no longer mattersâ
Reneedol appeared a bit bored.
The large dark featureless humanoid face behind her opened its mouth wide and uttered a resounding howl.
The snowstorm stopped.
An immense tremor resounded from the sky as if some sort of entity was ripping it apart.
Intense pressure rose from Reneedolâs body as if she was preparing something.
âWait a minute, I have something to sayâ Gu Qing Shan said.
âSpeakâ Reneedol replied.
âYouâve received all of Shroudâs power, the allegiance of the two Deities of Fate, their Divine Artifacts, and even control over the Apocalypseââ youâve already obtained so much, why donât we just part ways here?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âPart ways?â Reneedol repeated.
âThatâs rightâ Gu Qing Shan lowered his sword and seriously said: âIâve always appreciated those who refuse to accept their Fate. For someone like you whose body had been taken over as soon as you were born, but still managed to fight against Fate and achieve greatness, I wouldnât even try to consider using normal meansââ- what do you say we stop here? From now on, youâll walk your own path, and weâll walk oursâ
While talking, he also glanced at Boss.
Following the normal history, Reneedol cannot die.
Even without that, according to Lachesisâ foresight, it still isnât time for Reneedol to die.
âââshe would continue to survive until my future.
In that case, history would retain its accuracy and course, nobodyâs Fate would be altered.
Only then would the sixth Sealing Token appear, bringing Boss and I back to the future.
This is the best solution for now.
Reneedol thought briefly and suddenly chuckled:
âParting ways... itâs not impossible, but you would first have to surviveâ
âSurvive?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
Reneedol answered without much thought: âOf course, this entire world, as well as every other worlds, were manifested from Shroudâs body. Do you think I would continue to live on his body?â
âThen what are youââ-â
âIâll destroy this place, let the Apocalypses fill the void, then head outside the Reality Gateâ Reneedol casually replied.
She raised her hand, then looked down at her fingers and muttered: âIâm very interested in the Apocalypseââ- because of the two Deities of Fate, Iâve devoured the Apocalypse Seeker and obtain the power to communicate with the Apocalypseâ
Following her voice, the sky broke in half.
A giant and ferocious face replaced the sky to observe everything below.
Reneedol continued:
âAfter this world is buried, if you can survive, then youâre free to surviveâââ I wonât directly act against you, you can continue to live until youâre killed by one of the Apocalypses I summonâ
Oongââ
The void of space moved.
Numerous insects poured out from all sides.
They each had a human face while their bodies were beetle-like, with a pair of paper-thin transparent wings at their backs and razor-sharp teeth.
Gu Qing Shan had seen these insects before.
In the past, if it wasnât for the three Divine Artifacts of the Deities of fate, the Lord of Infinite Origins would have already been defeated by this type of insect.
Reneedol only spat out a single word:
âGo!â
All the insectsâ wings rapidly flapped to make a resounding noise as they all charged towards Gu Qing Shanâs group.
Reneedol stood with her hands behind her back while the two Deities of Fate stood by her side, her gaze no longer looking at the group in front of her.
She had fallen into thought, apparently thinking of how she would head towards the Reality Gate.
âIt was most likely a mistakeâ Gu Qing Shan commented.
âThatâs right, completely unlike what we had thoughtâ Boss replied.
âIf sheâs left alone like this, what will happen to the future?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âThe future? If sheâs left to destroy everything, there wouldnât be any future, everything would be destroyed right here and nowâ Boss replied.
âSeems like thereâs no other wayâ Gu Qing Shan sighed and said.
âThatâs right, there really isnâtâ Boss agreed.
He raised his fist towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan bumped against Bossâ fist with his own.
Instantly, lines of glowing text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shanâs eyes:
[Order has been reinforced]
[Youâve registered into Worlds Apocalypse Online â Human Regiment]
At the same time, a female voice called out:
[Long time no see, Gu Qing Shan. Welcome back to the Order, would you like to begin battling against the Apocalypse?]
Gu Qing Shan replied: âLady Darksea, you may use all of my Soul Points, please immediately prepare for warâ
[Very well. System message has been received, begin investigation of the environment, initiating the Orderâs retaliation measures] Lady Darksea replied.
A blue UI popped up in front of Gu Qing Shanâs vision.
Lines of notifications quickly appeared on the UI:
[Considering the severity of the situation, forcefully initiated summoning mode to follow his grace Gu Qing Shanâs past combat method. Technological type has been chosen]
[Soul Points replenishment complete, everything has been prepared]
[Initiating Warââ-]
[Summon regiment!]
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Numerous popping noises rang out as innumerable metallic cubes fell in front of the two of them into a formation.
The metallic cubes rapidly expanded into humanoid metal statues.
The first metal soldier appeared.
He opened his mouth wide and stood still.
At this time, the swarm of insects had rushed forward and practically enveloped the entire soldier formation.
An electronic voice rang out:
[Molecular vibrating blade, release]
The soldier spat out a black metal ellipsoid.
The metal ellipsoid spun as it flew into the middle of the insects and directly disappearedââ-
A particularly ferocious insect had swallowed it.
A second later.
Electronic noises rang out through the void of space.
The swarm of insects had been completely wiped out.
They were turned into bloody masses and filled the sky.
As they saw bloodshed, the insects in the back rushed forward at an even madder pace in an attempt to break through this technological line of defense.
But it was useless. Before the molecular vibration blade fully ran out of energy, it would not grow even a little bit weaker.
Through collecting the insectsâ atoms and analyzing their resonance frequency, the blade had reproduced a rhythmic resonance that would directly destroy the insectsâ bodies.
With this to ease the situation, more metal soldiers appeared.
Hundreds of metallic soldiers stood in line, preparing for war.
Lady Darkseaâs voice could be heard:
[Resonance Blade efficiency reached 99.19%. Initiating transformation into Mobile Mechs to break encirclement]
The metallic soldiers stopped moving.
Their fluid-like metal bodies began to grow armor plates that tightly protected them, leaving only their shining electronic eyes.
[Coating complete]
[Molecular resonance blades prepared]
[Charge!]
All the Mechs charged into the sky towards the swarm of insects.
The war immediately entered an intense state!
Gu Qing Shan took a few steps back, used the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to cut the starlight rope binding Little Duskâs body, then handed her a canned drink.
He then approached the unconscious Scarlet and poured a healing drink into the mouth.
âAlcohol... give me alcohol...â Scarlet frowned and muttered.
Gu Qing Shan ignored her and continued pouring another canned drink into her mouth.
After that was done, he noticed that Boss was still motionless.
Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise: âYou canât depend on just me alone, whereâs your army?â
Boss appeared reminiscent and asked: âPerhaps you donât remember, but during the battle against the Soul Shrieker, I was reinforced by the archetype with the greatest growth potentialâ
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then quickly recalled.
ââthe template that Boss was given, if I remember correctly, was [Worlds Apocalypse Online â Foot Soldier]
Boss smiled and sighed: âLeave the face in the sky to meâ
He took two steps forward, then gradually began to run.
A black trident appeared from the void of space, which he grabbed.
Countless golden fragments spun around his body before attaching themselves to him and formed a suit of armor that exuded golden fog.
Boomââ
Boss leapt into the sky towards the ferocious face in the sky.
Lines of text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shanâs vision:
[Reporting, your grace. At the moment, Bossâ template had evolved into its ultimate form, far surpassing any others reinforced by the Order]
âOh? Can you tell me which template heâs currently using?â Gu Qing Shan asked with interest.
Another line of text appeared:
[Worlds Apocalypse Online â King of War]
Reading this, Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
In the sky, the sound of boundless howling could be heard.
