Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1509

「 He is yours? Why is he yours? Do you also need his body? 」

The numerous tentacles angrily questioned her in return.

Reneedol stood still in the middle of the dark lake, remaining silent.

“I do not need his body, but I need him to be by my side, this was the arrangement of Fate” Reneedol replied.

She readied herself for battle, then spoke in a low voice: “Aside from him, any of the other Deities are free for you to choose!”

The tentacles once again gathered into the visage of the old man.

This time, all the vertical irises opened wide and uttered an ear-piercing screech: 「 What blatant lies! You know full well that I need him, and yet you insist on cutting off my only path of survival! 」

Following his voice, all the tentacles scattered and slowly sank into the lake.

“What, you’ve decided to risk it all in a fight?” Reneedol coldly smirked.

As the lake surface fluctuated the other party’s voice resounded:

「 Although the Law of Fate is capable of taking control of everything, you alone cannot represent Fate itself. You will end up no different from the other Deities, a pawn in my hands! 」

Fwoom——

Boundless light filled the entire lake and shot into the sky.

Behind Reneedol, a giant dark hand manifested to stop the light.

The two sides clashed briefly before the dark hand perfectly caught all of the light without letting any of it go.

Reneedol said: “Your power is very pure, perfect for my absorption”

「 That is only your delusion! 」the old man angrily shouted.

Immediately, Reneedol suddenly appeared to be in pain.

She held her head with both hands, moaning painfully.

The dark hand was instantly struck by a mass of light and flung away.

Instantly after that, Reneedol was enveloped by the light and crashed into the rock walls behind her, digging deep into it.

Numerous tentacles reached out of the lake to manifest the old man’s visage again as he headed straight towards the hole that Reneedol had crashed into.

「 Ahahaha, you couldn’t even protect your own thoughts and you want to fight against me? How ridiculous! 」

The old man laughed maniacally.

The orange cat stood at a distance watching this and fell into thought.

Hadn’t Reneedol fully gathered the power of the three sisters of Fate?

She appeared so confident, yet she was disturbed at a pivotal moment.

The orange cat suddenly recalled Boss.

Boss was also taken control by him without knowing.

——this enemy is the embodiment of all the Laws of Reality, the literal spirit of the world and everything within it.

Every living being that exists is a part of his body and falls under his control.

Reneedol knew about this, but not the extent of it, that’s why she was disturbed at a crucial moment and fell into dire straits.

In the hold, the old man triumphantly declared: 「 I will send you in this manner to the surface with the countless rampaging Apocalypses, once the Apocalypses had weathered you down, I will imprison you for eternity. This way, you will no longer be able to do anything against me 」

「 Fate is nothing but another kind of power! 」

Bang bang——–

Intense crashes could be heard from above, almost like walls gradually being broken through.

The orange cat knows that he can’t hesitate.

But right now, there are too many mysteries, and the truth is still hidden where I cannot reach.

The Lord of Infinite Origins said that he would imprison Reneedol.

——why not kill her?

Could there have been some terrifying consequence to killing the Deity of Fate?

And also.

While Reneedol didn’t care about other people, she insists that Lord of Infinite Origins cannot harm Boss, meaning that she was indeed changing.

Then, should I save her or not?

The orange cat silently took a few steps forward and reached the shore of the lake.

The old man had broken through the rock ceiling to fly upwards, the tentacles that made up his body now filled the water surface.

These tentacles were still continuously stretching out and growing upwards.

——seems like I definitely have to save Reneedol.

Right now, other than her, there isn’t anyone who could go against the Lord of Infinite Origins.

There was another crucial point.

Regardless of what she was really thinking, in this battle alone, she was indeed fighting for Boss’ sake.

The orange cat’s tail raised up and lightly coiled around the void of space.

A gleaming sword appeared.

The Earth sword.

This was the sword with the most offensive power he had.

「 How are we doing this? 」

The Earth sword’s mountainous heavy voice resounded in the orange cat’s mind.

“Cut them” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice.

As soon as she said that, lines of glowing text appeared on the War supreme-ruler UI:

[Although these tentacles are only a small portion of the other party’s gigantic body, if you want to cut down the tentacles in front of you, you would still need to expend 1 million Soul Points]

The orange cat wasn’t at all concerned about this number.

After killing the Samsara War Shaman and the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate, as well as eating a bunch of dried salted fish, even after everything he’s done, he still had a couple hundred million Soul Points remaining.

1 million wasn’t that unreasonable.

The orange cat prepared himself, then abruptly leapt towards the lake.

His tail curtly swung in the air, unleashing a frigid light-blue sword phantom.

The sword phantom flashed, then reformed into the shape of a full moon.

—-Secret Art, [Consecutive Full Moon Slash]!

His Soul Points was decreased by 1 million on the War supreme-ruler UI.

All the tentacles went stiff for a moment as a thin slash mark would be seen where the sword phantom had passed through them.

「 NO! WHO IS IT!? AT THIS PIVOTAL MOMENT—— 」

The old man’s furious roar could be heard from a distance, then was abruptly cut off.

In front of the orange cat, the tentacles that had reached upward earlier continuously collapsed one by one into a pile of blood and flesh, then faded away and completely disappeared.

——these tentacles had been slain by a single sword strike!

The orange cat landed on the other side of the lake and sheathed his sword.

At this point, a thunderous rumbling noise could be heard from deep underground, as if numerous things were trying to climb up.

The orange cat released his inner sight to observe above him.

In the far distance, at the very end of the hole in the stone ceiling, Reneedol wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then vanished.

She had fled!

From the depths of the lake, more tentacles were rapidly reaching towards the surface.

The orange cat didn’t have the courage to hesitate and immediately summoned a mass of white fog to envelope himself.

Don’t be ridiculous, the Lord of Infinite Origins is definitely going berserk, it’s unwise to stay here for even a second longer.

At the very next moment, innumerable tentacles shot into the sky.

The orange cat had already disappeared.

…

At another location.

The Isle of Protection.

The orange cat had returned to the fake secret room on the island, then swiftly arranged several layers of isolation formations.

——although the Lord of Infinite Origins wouldn’t be able to detect me during my [Ghostly Shadow of Night] state, he’s still capable of connecting to every living being here, so it’s better if I am careful about this.

After all the formations had been arranged, the orange cat took something out from the void of space.

A colorful rooster statue.

As he pulled on the comb of the rooster, it awoke.

“Huh, isn’t it a holiday? Why did you call me out of bed so early, damn it?”

The colorful rooster rubbed its tired eyes and complained.

The orange cat helplessly said: “Meow, meow meow meow”

Hearing that, the colorful rooster waved its wings: “Alright, I already know that the situation is quite urgent on your side, I’m awake already, aren’t I?”

“Meow meow?”

“Hm, like always”

The colorful rooster made a heart shape with its wings and said.

The orange cat put his paw on the colorful rooster’s wing and transferred the Soul Points.

“Cock-a-doodle-doo! With these Soul Points, my holiday fatigue has been completely cleared!”

The colorful rooster instantly became full of spirits, even its comb had stood up completely while it performed a happy tap dance.

The orange cat took two steps back and silently watched it.

“Haha, I was a bit excited; I finally have Soul Points to go shopping again” the colorful rooster said.

“Meow meow meow?” the orange cat asked in confusion.

The colorful rooster proudly explained: “Ah—— in truth, I have a golden finger that lets me buy things by spending Soul Points. Of course, I usually don’t explain this and just keep it a secret while I silently grow——— it’s best that you don’t ask too much about it, give up on that idea—- haven’t you heard the saying ‘curiosity kills the cat’?”

The orange cat paused briefly before nodding: “Meow”

“Everything is good as long as you don’t ask about this. Now, let us talk business, what do you want to know” the colorful rooster asked

The orange cat put up both paws and said: “Meow meow, meow meow meow meow, meow meow”

The colorful rooster nodded: “The secret regarding the Lord of Infinite Origins and Myriad Deities, that’s indeed a grand matter, but——- didn’t I already tell you about this before?”

The orange cat appeared confused.

The colorful rooster explained with a serious expression: “All of these secrets are things that cannot be heard or witnessed. Countless years ago, the Lord of Infinite Origins had already placed a curse on it that would inflict anyone who saw or heard of such matters, ensuring that they would never be able to escape its senses”

“That’s why I had told you to take a look at the murals and statues”

Hearing this, the orange cat appeared contemplative.

No wonder all the murals and statues had erased the enemy of the Myriad Deities.

They probably discovered that anything depicting the Lord of Infinite Origins would carry a curse, so they erased them.

But now, even if I had discovered the clues, what would I be able to do?

Even the Myriad Deities taking refuge in the Dusty World had fallen under the Lord of Infinite Origins’ control.

Reneedol had gathered the power of three Deities of Fate, but still lost.

Thinking of that, the orange cat helplessly said: “Meow meow, meow meow meow”

The colorful rooster replied: “Indeed, you’ve managed to see through and discover several secrets, but some other things had been hidden especially deep, which requires you to seriously observe the ponder about”

“The murals, the key to everything lies in the murals and statues”

Leaving that statement, the colorful rooster turned back into a motionless statue.

The orange cat put it away and fell into thought.

The murals and statues…

That’s true, I’ve only seen the murals and statues inside a few supreme palaces.

There were still a lot of secrets hidden in the Pantheon ruins.

——-the Myriad Deities’ ‘shadows’, as well as the blessing of the Myriad Deities.

——–the fact that the supreme palace of Death was capable of leading to all other supreme palaces was also a mystery.

There was one other crucial thing.

——-I’ve never been to the supreme palace of the three sisters of Fate.

Perhaps a piece of crucial information might be hidden within the sisters’ supreme palace.

A second later.

A black thread appeared out of nowhere, one end was wrapped around his hand while the other end reached into the far void of space.

The orange cat looked at the black thread.

So the supreme palace of the three sisters of Fate was in this direction?

He put all the formations away as his figure flashed and left this secret room.
