Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1314

White Eagle – Gong Wu knelt on one knee, unable to help himself from sighing.

“Detestable! Detestable! Detestable!” Cang Wu Zhang was still angrily berating him.

He was clearly furious, shouting: “Do any of you even take your brains to work? If I hadn’t seen the list of hidden pawns before I came here, I might even have had to fight you later on!”

He abruptly walked in front of White Eagle – Gong Wu and lowered his face to question him: “Regardless if you had killed me, or I had killed you, it would have made us laughing stocks of the entire Wraith realm, don’t you get it!?”

White Eagle – Gong Wu naturally understood.

Having been caught in such a big debacle, Might Cang would naturally be furious.

——-but this is unrelated to me, I’m just following the Wraith Lord’s orders.

But how can I say that?

“shit, my reputation was almost ruined!” Cang Wu Zhang was still shouting without care.

His spit was all over White Eagle – Gong Wu’s face.

White Eagle – Gong Wu didn’t utter a single peep, holding his mouth completely shut.

He could only hope for the Wraith Might to quickly calm down and for this to be over.

Suddenly, his expression moved slightly.

Cang Wu Zhang seemed to have been so angry that he threw a punch towards him.

But upon closer inspection, he could see that this punch carried no force behind it.

—–Might Cang isn’t using force, nor any technique.

White Eagle – Gong Wu relaxed himself.

It seems Might Cang still knows his limit, only throwing a punch to relieve his anger.

I’ll just let him hit me, I won’t die from it either way.

——-these were the last thoughts of White Eagle – Gong Wu.

A second later, all of his thoughts were shattered, blankly kneeling on the ground without moving.

[Ethereal – Grand Mountain]!

As Gu Qing Shan pulled his fist back, his gaze turned sharp.

For the next ten breaths’ worth of time, the other party would remain an idiot who won’t be able to react to anything.

Putting his hand on White Eagle – Gong Wu’s head, he used Soul Reading.

Very quickly, he understood everything.

So the Wraith realm sent this person here to probe and possibly kill me if he found me suspicious in any way.

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

——although I’ve restrained him, killing him isn’t a good idea.

If a person sent by the Wraith realm to test me were to die at my hands right away, wouldn’t that confirm their suspicions?

I can’t not kill him either.

Once he contacts the Wraith realm again, he would discover that I’m not Cang Wu Zhang.

He still must be eliminated!

Gu Qing Shan drew his sword but then hesitated.

The Devil King Warden Rod cannot completely erase everything, even after his soul had been dispersed, a single spark would remain inside Primal Chaos.

And the Wraith realm has access to Life Talismans and Immortal Crafts, capable of summoning and reviving a soul from that single spark.

I would still be exposed.

It’s not correct to kill him, nor is it correct not to kill him.

What now?

Time slowly passed.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Gu Qing Shan made his decision.

——kill!

Not only would I kill him, but I’d have to do it in the most inconspicuous way possible.

The Wraith realm is extremely strict and highly disciplined, anyone who fails to complete their missions would receive nothing but the worst possible punishment.

When Cang Wu Zhang’s servant failed to kill me, Cang Wu Zhang didn’t resurrect him.

Part of the reason might have been because the price to pay for such a thing was too great, but the other part was due to the Wraith realm’s belief that those who failed don’t deserve to be saved.

——-to prevent the Wraith realm from resurrecting this person and reporting me to them, I have to make it so that he failed the mission due to his own mistakes.

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan slowly raised his hand and clenched his fist.

——[Blessing of the past worlds]!

The spirit of this world had already been erased, so whenever Gu Qing Shan tried to communicate with it, he would instead summon the Apocalypse!

Instantly, another sandstorm manifested.

Layers upon layers of yellow sand surrounded Gu Qing Shan and the kneeling White Eagle – Gong Wu, continuously spinning around them.

Five breaths’ worth of time had passed.

The yellow sand manifested a soldier wielding a shield and spear, as well as a caster.

They both turned to him, preparing to speak.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but say: “Yeah, yeah, you bring destruction or whatever, can you please skip the pleasantries? I’m in a hurry here”

He turned to the notifications that appeared:

[A newcomer has come into contact with this Apocalypse for the first time, thus greatly lowering the difficulty of your third destruction]

[Combat will soon begin, prepare yourselves well]

Facing him, the soldier and caster exchange glances then spoke in unison:

“”As you wish!””

The soldier charged forward while the caster began to chant.

Gu Qing Shan took a few steps back.

He continued to retreat several dozen meters behind White Eagle – Gong Wu, then disappeared into a cluster of fog and went away.

——World Technique, [Fog Realm Descent]!

Gu Qing Shan had left.

White Eagle – Gong Wu blankly knelt on one knee; his mind still empty.

A second later.

Both the spear and the spell had arrived!

Under a state of having no fear or thoughts, White Eagle – Gong Wu simply lost his life.

At another location.

Gu Qing Shan stood in front of the water stream where he first arrived in this world and silently waited.

A few moments later.

The sandstorm manifested again, once again surrounding him.

The soldier wielding spear and shield as well as the caster both stood facing him with cold expressions.

“Sure enough, teleportation isn’t enough to escape an attack from the Apocalypse”

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

His gaze fell on the soldier’s spear.

The spear was soaked in blood.

“Coward who left his comrade to escape, it’s your turn” the caster spoke.

Gu Qing Shan chuckled.

He sincerely replied: “He wasn’t my comrade, but since I did trouble you earlier, I’ll send you off properly”

Four swords appeared from the void of space behind him, then instantly vanished.

They were flying inside the surrounding sandstorm at unbelievable speed.

From inside the sandstorm, another kind of wind silently manifested.

Sword-infused wind.

———Sword Array, Taiyi!

…

After a bit.

Gu Qing Shan stood several thousand miles away, releasing his inner sight to observe White Eagle – Gong Wu’s previous location.

He saw White Eagle – Gong Wu’s corpse.

A pure white fan as well as all of his belongings remained where he was.

The Apocalypse wasn’t interested in any of this.

Gu Qing Shan naturally wasn’t either——

The Wraith realm had countless treasures, but also countless measures prepared for any situation, it wouldn’t be a good idea for him to be traced this way.

He didn’t commit such a basic mistake and directly left.

This had already wasted a lot of his time.

Gu Qing Shan took flight and went to catch up with Crow at full speed.

Flying——

After continuous flying as well as several uses of [Ground Shrink], he arrived at Gloom Flame Town.

Gu Qing Shan descended from the sky and landed next to Crow.

“I was late” Gu Qing Shan apologetically said.

Crow shook his head: “I came before you, but it was useless——– there were originally two teams of Professionists stationed here, I had thought that they would at least be able to hold on until I arrive, but I was wrong”

In front of them, the town had already been destroyed.

Traces of battle still remained.

Magic fluctuations still surrounded the air, as well as large craters created from large-scale weapons.

The defensive walls of the town had been demolished by more than half.

Bright-red bloody marks were everywhere.

Complete silence.

There were no survivors.

Flames were still burning in the small town.

Watching his ravaged scenery, the two of them felt their hearts turning heavy.

Gu Qing Shan sighed, then commented: “The Apocalypse this time must be quite considerable”

Crow agreed: “Right, it’s been a long time since I last saw an Apocalypse of this degree, both you and I could lose our lives”

“What do we do now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

This was the first time he had participated in this kind of mission so he wanted to know what he should do.

Crow casually replied: “Void City definitely has their hands completely full. We’re going to wait right here for them to announce the next mission. Right, you’re by yourself and have never faced anything of this degree before, it’s best that you stick close to me for the next while, this way at least we can have each other’s backs”

Gu Qing Shan glanced at Crow without being noticed.

This guy seems nonchalant about everything but clearly knows how to take care of others.

Crow… is a Titled Hitman, Zhang Ying Hao is also a Hitman, and Ye Fei Li is a Man Killer Fiend——

Why are all of my close acquaintances in this same business?

Is it something like a favor from the Law of Reality?

But regardless, Crow is powerful, and he isn’t a bad person either…

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan tried asking:

“Crow, I have something to ask you”

“What is it?” Crow asked.

“I’m part of a secret organization, are you interested in joining us?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Crow asked curiously: “What kind of organization?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Don’t Know Yet”

Crow lost interest and replied: “If you don’t even know yet, why are you asking me? Tell me again when you’ve thought of it”

Gu Qing Shan explained: “No, what I mean is that my organization is called ‘Don’t Know Yet’”

Crow: “…”

He thought a bit, then said: “Alright, can I be a boss then?”

“Sorry, there’s already a Boss”

“You?”

“No, I mean that we already have a person who’s called ‘Boss’”

“…What kind of organization is this exactly!?”
