Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1472

[Flee!]

As soon as the robot said that, Gu Qing Shan caught Scarlet’s hand and hurriedly ran the other way.

Shroud and Reneedol swiftly followed.

This mechanical construct very clearly stated that they were no match for the other party.

The sound of explosions resounded behind them continuously.

The ground trembled without stopping.

A huge cloud of dust had filled the sky.

Shockwaves created gusts of wind that enveloped the group of four, helping them quickly flee the scene of battle.

The four of them ran straight without looking back.

“Reneedol, how exactly were they related to you?” Gu Qing Shan loudly asked as he ran.

Reneedol’s expression was a bit pale and shook her head: “I don’t know”

“But they wanted to kill you!” Gu Qing Shan shouted back.

Reneedol didn’t say anything and simply clenched her fist.

“Look, the settlement is ahead of us!” Shroud loudly called out.

A series of buildings that looked like a small town appeared in their visions.

“We can’t go in, let’s keep running!” Reneedol said.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at her.

—–she’s feeling afraid.

“We can’t” Gu Qing Shan said, “We haven’t eaten anything for an entire day, we need to find some food to replenish our strength”

Reneedol refuted: “But that construct wouldn’t be able to stop—–”

Gu Qing Shan cut her off: “Even if we continuously run without stopping, those three are still going to catch up to us. They’re strong, much stronger than we are”

Reneedol was lost for words.

That’s right.

From the speed those three displayed earlier, they would definitely be able to catch up to us.

What now?

The town was right ahead of them./

Gu Qing Shan scanned through and immediately ran towards one of the buildings.

Shroud, Reneedol, and Scarlet quickly followed.

Bam——

Gu Qing Shan kicked open the gate and looked into the bar.

A few empty mugs laid on top of the bar, a half-eaten piece of bread that’s been left there for the entire night appeared yellow and dry; a piece of cold beef steak had fallen on the floor, now covered in dust.

“Who has a storage item?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I do” Shroud raised his Book of Prophesized Destinies and replied.

Gu Qing Shan delegated everyone’s roles: “Scarlet, Reneedol, the two of you rest here; Shroud, come with me to the back room and stock up on food”

The two of them leapt over the bar and ran behind.

Seeing that, Scarlet looked for a nearby sofa and settled herself in.

“Come, hurry and sit down, we need to take this time to rest up” she waved to Reneedol.

Reneedol seemed to still be shocked and only sat down after a while.

“They… wanted to kill me…”

Reneedol muttered to herself.

Seeing her like that, Scarlet consoled: “It’ll be fine, we have Rhode and Shroud with us, they’ll definitely come up with something”

Reneedol looked at her.

Scarlet bitterly smiled and said with a dejected tone: “At least you have your own abilities that you can use for combat. I’ve already given up my supportive skills, now that I don’t have the power of Death, I wouldn’t be able to help everyone in battle either”

Reneedol silently thought for a bit, then stood up, walked behind the bar, and opened a bottle of liquor.

She poured a glass and put it in front of Scarlet, telling her: “Try it”

Scarlet looked at the glass, swallowed her spit, then shook her head: “The Overlord of Death is no longer here, what good is drinking alcohol?”

Reneedol explained: “It’s because the Law Behemoths had all died that Shroud was now effectively the new Overlord of Radiance, the same should be for Rhode as the new Overlord of Death. You might be able to summon his power of Death by using alcohol as a catalyst”

Scarlet received the glass, clenched her teeth, then drank the entire thing at once.

Clink!

She put the empty glass on the table, opened her palm, then muttered: “Rhode, please grant me the power of Death”

…

The back room.

Gu Qing Shan immediately sensed it.

“How miraculous… it is because she and I both like to drink that she naturally felt intimate with the power of Death I carry?”

He muttered to himself, then suddenly put his hand forward into the void of space.

Starlight suddenly manifested from in air, before Gu Qing Shan realized what they were, they formed into a scroll made purely from starlight.

…

This scroll entered the void of space and landed in front of Scarlet outside.

Scarlet stared close and saw the words written on it:

[You provide me sustenance; I grant you the power of Death]

Scarlet was ecstatic and immediately put her hand over the scroll.

Hoh——

It instantly burnt away.

A black flames scythe appeared from the void of space, landing in Scarlet’s hand.

“I succeeded!”

Scarlet exclaimed in shock, then smiled brightly.

Finally.

Finally, I can fight again!

She put the scythe down, then turned around and hugged Reneedol.

“Thank you, Reneedol! You helped me out greatly!”

Reneedol smiled.

In reality, this was a conclusion that anyone could have arrived at with a bit of thought.

Shroud.

Rhode.

The two of them will become the final two Overlords in this world.

However, there’s another point for suspicion.

——if the other Law Behemoths had died, then where did their powers disappear to?

Reneedol pondered a bit and glanced at the starlight above her head.

Three stars were silently hovering there.

Starlight…

I still need to confirm this in the World of Laws.

But it’s currently too dangerous, there’s no way for me to go right now.

Those three want to kill me.

Reneedol scowled.

—–I can’t remember who they are no matter how much I try.

Kill me…

She shook her head and muttered: “I’ve stayed in the World Valley since I was young, how would I have known those ferocious fellows? This is unbelievable”

Gu Qing Shan and Shroud just came out from the back room just as she said that.

Shroud went forward, held her hands, and firmly said: “Don’t think about it too much, there are already not many living beings left in this world, we simply need to live as best as we could”

Gu Qing Shan added: “If anyone wants to kill you, Shroud and I will kill them!”

Reneedol looked at them and couldn’t help herself nodding.

Within this scene of despair, I still have my trustworthy companions.

…but why do I feel so emotional?

For some reason, Reneedol felt her eyes becoming a bit warm, so she turned away and changed the subject: “Did you find anything to eat?”

Gu Qing Shan and Shroud grinned.

“There was a pantry in the back, we emptied it out” Shroud replied.

The two of them took out all sorts of food and laid them on the table.

The four of them were all so hungry that they immediately began to eat.

——-even if they wanted to flee for their lives, they need to actually have the strength to flee.

“Rhode and I have both thought about it. We can’t keep hiding like this, especially since the other party is much faster than we are” Shroud said.

“Then, what do we do now?” Reneedol asked.

“Eat first, we do have another way” Gu Qing Shan mysteriously said.

Scarlet suddenly commented as she ate: “Rhode, I didn’t think you’d actually be able to manifest the covenant of Death, seems like you’re going to become the new Death supreme-ruler from now on”

Gu Qing Shan tilted his head, then answered her, still a bit confused: “When I used the power of Death, some sort of other force seemed to be helping me”

“Helping you?” the other three asked at once.

“Yeah, it was a kind power that manifested as stars——” as Gu Qing Shan said this, he suddenly paused.

Stars.

As I remember.

A sky full of stars was the manifestation of [Siming]’s power.

When Shifu appeared, I could sense that she was already at her last breaths, both her cultivation and strength were on the verge of collapse.

Even so, Shifu still managed to cut [Siming] in a single strike.

Then, what are these stars?

Did Shifu silently change something?

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, then chanted: “The lives of all living beings belong to the Overlord of Death, kneel at my feet and embrace your demise”

Countless stars manifested around his body, which then manifested into a cluster of black flames that silently hovered in place.

Sensing the power of the black flames, Gu Qing Shan muttered: “This isn’t using up my power, but rather converging the world Origin power for me to wield”

Reneedol was stunned, then glanced at the stars above her head again.

This seems— to be——-

Shroud also put his hand forward and chanted: “The power of Radiance and Dawn shall remove all wickedness, that is the moment of angelic descent and my advent”

Countless stars circled around him, then manifested into a mass of dawn light concentrated in his palm.

This glorious and solemn light illuminated their bodies, removing their fatigue.

It was very effective!

Shroud pondered briefly before saying: “The Laws of the world had completely been changed”

“What do you mean?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“From now on, the world’s Origin power will manifest as stars, and the more stars one can manifest, the better one would be able to wield the power of Laws” Shroud explained.

“There’s no longer a need to communicate with the Law Behemoths?” Reneedol asked.

“There is no need, unless you want the power of Radiance or Death, in which case you need to communicate with Rhode and I” Shroud replied.

The four of them slowly realized a certain fact and fell silent.

Scarlet struggled a bit to open her mouth: “In other words…”

“Yes, that’s right” Shroud nodded.

Reneedol sighed and spoke emotionally: “From now on, anyone can absorb the power of the stars to become entities like the Law Behemoths”

“——or perhaps even surpass them” Gu Qing Shan added.
