Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1275

Gu Qing Shan stood mid-air, observing the horde of draconic monsters made up of bones and Elemental energy from afar.

A voice suddenly called out to him.

“Hey”

—-this was NEET Gu Qing Shan’s voice.

“What?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Want me to help you?” NEET Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Don’t be ridiculous, what about your identity?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“You’ve already set the example——- or should I fake dying in battle and just change my identity now?” NEET Gu Qing Shan asked.

“You can turn into a dragon as well?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Hm, I can turn into an Element and Law Absorption Dragon” NEET Gu Qing Shan replied.

“I haven’t heard of that at all, what kind of dragon is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I can absorb all elements, this way, the Law of Elemental would become weakened, and the apocalypse monsters would lose their strength” NEET Gu Qing Shan said.

“…If you absorb that much Elemental power, wouldn’t you also run into issues?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Maybe I’ll become a bit too full, but there generally aren’t any issues. My stomach would just become one layer thicker, something of this degree would be fine after a few days of lying around” NEET Gu Qing Shan replied.

“I really never thought I’d be able to turn into that something or other dragon” Gu Qing Shan blankly said.

“I never thought I’d be able to turn into a black dragon either—— I’ll be honest, to activate this ability, I need your help” NEET Gu Qing Shan said.

“How do I help?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Restrain the monsters, make sure that they can’t move, then I’ll be able to absorb their elemental power” NEET Gu Qing Shan replied.

At this time, earth-shattering howling resounded from the faraway horizon.

Gu Qing Shan turned to the vast field.

Numerous dragon-shaped monsters manifested from the elements were taking flight one by one.

They were going to continue their assault on the capital city.

In truth, only two——

No, only one elemental dragon would have been enough to destroy the entire capital city.

With such a huge force of elemental dragons, the capital city would be wiped out in almost no time at all.

“We don’t have enough information yet, I’ll give it a try first”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan transformed into his black dragon form and headed into the wilderness while ignoring the shouts of the soldiers below.

He was extremely fast, much faster than a normal dragon, so he quickly faced the first elemental dragon.

His dragon claw flashed.

Frigid cold air ripped through this dragon clad in poisonous mist.

Thud!

This dragon immediately fell, crashed into the ground, and scattered into green mist, which then attached on to the body of another elemental dragon.

That elemental dragon’s body instantly grew twice as large.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Frost counters fire, so he was able to easily dispatch the fire monsters.

But now that the dragons were made up of different elements, it would be tough to thoroughly kill them all at once.

And if he couldn’t kill them, they would simply fuse and transform into even more powerful monsters.

While Gu Qing Shan was pondering this, multiple dragons clad in elemental glow had taken flight and surrounded him.

「 Die… 」

The elemental dragons swiftly declared his death.

But the black dragon vanished from their encirclement.

The elemental dragons were still confused. It was only after a bit that they realized the black dragon had returned to the human city wall.

He once again turned back into human form and stood in mid-air, muttering:

“No good, they aren’t easy to kill, and they’d grow stronger after fusing with one another.

NEET Gu Qing Shan was able to see the entire process, so he told him: “If you can help me scatter them, you can leave the rest to me”

Scatter them…

Gu Qing Shan quickly considered his means.

During this time, the elemental dragons were approaching the capital city closer and closer.

The crimson flame dragon was in the lead, spitting two balls of fire towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan swung his fist without hesitation.

——-Frost Fist, [Frost Freeze]!

Bang!

The first ball of fire completely vanished from the sky.

The intense frost aura’s residual power continued shooting towards the other dragons in the sky.

Gu Qing Shan had the power of three dragons, so he was naturally much stronger compared to a normal dragon.

This strike caused the crimson dragon to become cautious.

At this point, the second ball of fire had reached Gu Qing Shan——–

Sha!

A sword flashed.

Shannu wielded the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and cut the fire into nothingness.

“Gongzi cannot use his swords, but I can” she muttered.

The crimson dragon watched Shannu, then the sword in her hand, and whispered: 「 A sword that can cut Laws, so you still had such a trump card 」

It suddenly stopped flying and began reciting something in the air.

「 Apocalypse, become one with me, grant me power that far surpasses this world! 」

Oong—– oong—- oong——

From the end of the horizon, something was responding to its call.

Behind it, the other elemental dragons once again turned back into pure elemental power and began circling around it.

They were absorbed into the flame dragon’s body one by one.

Oom!!

The flame dragon landed on the ground, its body slowly beginning to change.

Metal – Wood – Water – Fire – Earth, Wind – Lightning – Light – Shadow – Sound, and even Poison, Pestilence, Death, Withering, all sorts of Laws gathered into its body at once.

Its form grew.

“What is that?”

“My supreme-ruler…”

“Even a dragon couldn’t be a match against such a monster”

“Oh no, the world is over”

The Professionists protecting the city fell into despair.

It wasn’t just them, Gu Qing Shan himself felt his eyebrows twitching.

“Is this really just an illusion?”

He whispered.

On the empty field several hundred meters away from the city, a giant slowly stood up.

The glow of elements drifted around its body, forming intense wind around itself.

Wherever the wind blew past, everything was destroyed without exception.

The earth dried up, all things withered and died.

This was the power of an elemental tidal surge!

Simply by standing there, the giant was causing its surroundings to violently become desolate.

「 Destruction is the fate of this world 」

The elemental giant stared at Gu Qing Shan in the sky and spoke in its low voice: 「 Even if you have surpassed the power of a normal dragon, you are still but a servant of fate! 」

「 Come, surrender yourself to the fate of death 」

It started walking towards the capital city.

Gu Qing Shan’s mind quickly turned, going over every fighting technique he had ever learnt.

Nothing.

Other than [Ethereal], I have no fist techniques that can overturn the current situation.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War supreme-ruler UI:

[To kill this giant made up of hundreds of thousands of elemental dragon, Ethereal – No Pardon requires at least 500 million Soul Points, you do not have enough]

“Then, what about [Ethereal – Null Tribulation]?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[There isn’t even enough for No Pardon, let alone Null Tribulation] the War supreme-ruler UI replied.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and muttered: “I worked so hard for this Soul Points… but there seems to be no other choice…”

He took a stance in mid-air, then clenched his right fist behind his back.

Taking a deep breath, he faced the elemental giant and threw a punch from afar.

——[Ethereal – Grand Mountain]!

The elemental giant paused for less than a split second before continuing to head towards Gu Qing Shan.

「 Did you really think I have such a thing as ‘thoughts’? 」

The elemental giant smirked, scoffing: 「 I am the embodiment of the Apocalypse, my will is to cause the eternal end of all things, other than that, I do not have any thoughts 」

Crash!

The firm city walls were like soft butter, easily squashed underneath its feet.

It reached its hand to catch Gu Qing Shan.

“Right at this moment!” Gu Qing Shan shouted.

“Go ahead, I’ve been waiting for it!” NEET Gu Qing Shan shouted in return.

Gu Qing Shan stopped hesitating and threw another punch.

[Ethereal] ———-

The first strike, [Myriad Shadows]!

[Ethereal – Myriad Shadows]

[After your first strike hit an enemy, you can activate ‘Myriad Shadows’]

[Myriad Shadows: It is a barrage of unending punches, each strike only contains 1/10,000 of your power, but as long as you do not wish it to stop, ‘Myriad Shadows’ will persist endlessly. Your enemy will remain in a state of being continuously attacked without being able to alter it]

[Eternally Striking Punch]

In an instant, Gu Qing Shan’s fist became blurred, suddenly turning into hundreds of thousands of punches that continuously hit the elemental giant.

The elemental giant remained completely still, unable to move.

A giant barrage of punches had obscured its figure, each of which would strike its body without fail.

「 With this level of punches, you really think to strike me down? 」the elemental giant smirked.

A body fused from hundreds of thousands of elemental dragons had already surpassed the normal limits of power, so it was essentially not receiving any damage at all.

“Who said I wanted to use this punch to strike you down?” while continuing with his barrage, Gu Qing Shan replied.

At the same time.

In the capital city.

Inside of a certain medical ward.

NEET Gu Qing Shan’s hands were clasped into a seal, then uttered:

“Element and Law Absorption Dragon, transform!”

With a ‘poof’, NEET Gu Qing Shan’s figure vanished from the room.

Instead, a dried salted fish appeared in front of Shan Hai Qi Xia.[1]

This fish was around half an arm’s length, displaying itself in a state of absolute dehydration.

“Ah…”

Shan Hai Qi Xia pinched her nose, silently muttering in her mind.

——–Element and Law Absorption Dragon?

That’s a nice name…

But this form, this stench, that’s clearly a salted fish!

Almost right away, scattered elemental particles appeared from the void of space as they were absorbed into this fish’s body.

As time went by, the salted fish’s scales started to give off light.

[1] Remember that note from a few chapters ago, that NEET = dried salted fish in Chinese slang?
