Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1630

The Thread of Fate?

Just as this thought popped up in Gu Qing Shan’s mind, the black thread around his wrist was abruptly stretched to the limit.

Sha——

Several figures appeared in the void of space in front of him.

As Gu Qing Shan took a careful look, he found that they were Fei Yue, Xiao Yue, the blind nun, and the Master of the Ominous Demon Tower.

They all stood in front of Gu Qing Shan, shielding him as he faced his opponents.

The Master of the Ominous Demon Tower loudly declared: 「 Don’t worry, Fei Yue had absorbed all the power of Fate, now we can—– 」

Before he could even finish his words, the wraith cultivator had already raised his hand.

Bam!

A resounding noise echoed throughout the world, followed by scraps of blood and flesh that were splattered all over the barrier protecting the Wraith realm.

Blindingly colorful lights manifested all over the sky.

After flickering a few times, these lights slowly became dim before finally fading away.

In a single strike, the Master of the Ominous Demon Tower’s body was completely crushed and became splattered all over the Wraith realm’s Causality barriers, destroying it in the process.

What unbelievable power!

The others all swiftly changed their expressions and retreated to stand by Gu Qing Shan’s side.

The most renowned Ominous Demon of the Boundless Void was easily killed right in front of their eyes without even being able to leave behind a single word.

The blind nun was unable to hold back her fear and exclaimed: “They’re only an incarnation of a certain grand entity—— but they’re still more than powerful enough to kill all of us!”

[How noisy] the wraith cultivator said.

A sharp shattering noise.

The blind nun’s head suddenly vanished, her body fell on the ground as blood seeped out from her corpse.

Complete silence.

『It’s over, Gu Qing Shan, we originally wanted to save you, but now it seems like no one would be able to escape at all』 Xiao Die said with a solemn expression.

——a single strike from him killed the Master of the Ominous Demon Tower.

This level of strength was far above what any of them could deal with.

Gu Qing Shan looked back at Fei Yue.

In the instant she appeared, a new variable appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

“Fei Yue, use Dual Worlds of Destiny!” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice.

——Dual Worlds of Destiny was a technique that relied on the power of Fate to separate a world into the Life world and Death world.

An attack from the Life world would turn into direct damage and inflict on the enemies within the Death world.

This was the most advanced Fate Divine Skill, one that Gu Qing Shan had only seen Fei Yue use a single time back in Void City.

And now, as Fei Yue wielded the power of Fate that once belonged to Lachesis, this Divine Skill would surely be significantly stronger.

Fei Yue was surprised.

In her mind, Gu Qing Shan continued sending his voice: “Use your Fate Divine Skill to bring that glowing cloaked skeleton and wraith cultivator to the Death world—— this will be our only chance at survival”

“Impossible, I won’t be able to restrain them” Fei Yue sent her voice in return.

“No need to think about it too much, just do your best and use it!” Gu Qing Shan urged her.

“Give me three breaths’ worth of time”

“Got it”

He wasn’t actually hoping for Fei Yue’s power to be able to defeat all these enemies.

Even the power of Fate would still be insignificant against these two Apocalypses as well as the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon.

—–Gu Qing Shan only hoped that she would be able to separate the two Apocalypses from the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon.

Even if it was only for a split second!

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “End of Time Apocalypse, you were originally an Unfathomable Apocalypse, so bullying these ant-like living beings is a bit beneath you, don’t you think?”

The wraith cultivator thought about it briefly and nodded with a smirk: [As you said, killing you would be a lot more interesting]

Gu Qing Shan took a few steps forward to shield Fei Yue and Xiao Die.

“Come at me” Gu Qing Shan grinned.

Three breaths were up!

Fei Yue clenched her teeth and twitched her finger.

A black thread that gave off mist was tied to her wrist, while the other end was tied to the wrists of the glowing cloaked skeleton and the wraith cultivator.

“[Dual Worlds of Destiny], Death world!”

Fei Yue curtly shouted and pulled with all her strength.

The wraith cultivator and glowing cloaked skeleton immediately vanished without a trace.

There were no flashy skills, not even fluctuations of a technique, they had simply vanished in front of everyone’s eyes.

It’s done!

Gu Qing Shan almost wanted to shout out with excitement.

——who would have thought that the final variable actually lied with Fei Yue!

[Huh? There was still such a powerful Fate technique within this Reality Gate?] Demon Dragon was a bit surprised.

At the very next moment.

Demon Dragon suddenly noticed that Gu Qing Shan had appeared next to him and was holding his shoulder down with a single hand.

At the same time, a blue-dress maid had also appeared and pressed his other shoulder down with her hand.

“Shannu!” Gu Qing Shan shouted.

The girl nodded, then a layer of golden light suddenly erupted from her body.

The light flashed and instantly entered Demon Dragon’s body.

Power of the Earth supreme-ruler, [Absolute Prohibition]!

[Absolute Prohibition: Any being struck by your attacks will have all of their supernatural abilities completely sealed away. Duration: 1 minute]

All of Demon Dragon’s supernatural power was sealed!

In that instant, Gu Qing Shan loudly called out: “NOW——-”

Blinding light suddenly manifested all around his body.

Countless Tianma women filled the entire void of space in the blink of an eye.

They were all inside the blinding light while gazing down at Demon Dragon.

Empress Li An stood ahead of them all, leading all the Tianma women to form a single unified hand seal as they uttered in unison:

『 SOUL RETURNS TO OLD DWELLING 』

A halo then manifested above the Progenitor Fiendess who stood directly in front of Demon Dragon and gently tapped his forehead from afar.

『 Awaken! 』

She uttered a single word.

Ding!

With a curt chime, the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon was separated from Demon Dragon and hovered in mid-air.

The Apocalyptic Divine Weapon furiously roared: [How dare you touch my wielder—–]

Gu Qing Shan didn’t have time to speak and abruptly released another golden glow around his body.

——he used the power of the Earth supreme-ruler again!

Power of the Earth supreme-ruler, [Shelter]

[Shelter: Regardless of where you are, you can return to the Earth World].

Gu Qing Shan continued to hold onto Demon Dragon and swiftly vanished.

Almost at the same time, the glowing cloaked skeleton and the wraith cultivator returned from the void of space.

[A very decent power of Fate, but to trap us, it’s far from——]

The glowing cloaked skeleton suddenly stopped talking.

It and the cultivator both looked up.

Only to see the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon hovering in the air.

[My wielder was taken away] the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon said.

Both Apocalypses remained silent.

The Tianma women from before had all disappeared without a trace, while the blue-dress girl had returned to shield Fei Yue and Xiao Die.

She had taken Gu Qing Shan’s form.

The wraith cultivator was in no hurry to attack, it simply shook its head: [Tch, he’s quite a resourceful one, but unfortunately, he doesn’t know…]

[…the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon’s power would always remain around the wielder’s body, so no kind of attacks would be able to kill him] the glowing cloaked skeleton added.

The Apocalyptic Divine Weapon flashed and vanished from the sky.

Its voice was heard from afar: [It’s quite a long distance, I will need a few minutes to retrieve my wielder]

…

The Earth World.

A desert with a rampaging sand storm.

Gu Qing Shan and Demon Dragon appeared.

“Alright, you just stay here. Other than myself, no one would be able to use supernatural powers in this world——–”

After saying that, Gu Qing Shan hurriedly wanted to leave.

The Wraith realm had lost its Causality barrier, so he would be able to teleport back without issues.

Fei Yue and Xiao Die are still there.

Shannu most likely wouldn’t be able to protect them!

“Gu Qing Shan, you are mistaken” Demon Dragon shook his head.

“What?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but stop.

“Although I was possessed, I was still able to sense everything that had happened—”

Demon Dragon’s gaze was complicated and finally sighed: “The Apocalyptic Divine Weapon had already left a mark on this Reality Gate. No matter how much you all try to close the Gate, the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon would always be the beacon to locate this Boundless Void again, it would summon even more Apocalypses here, which means—–”

“This world inside the Reality Gate would surely be destroyed”

Gu Qing Shan froze on the spot, struggling to speak: “If what you said was true, then there wouldn’t be any solutions at all?”

“Of course” Demon Dragon continued: “Other than the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon, those two Unfathomable Apocalypses are also far beyond the imagination of living beings—– although they were only incarnation, there was a reason why they decided to fight you instead of focusing on opening the Reality Gate”

“—–They seemed to be interested in you, so they’re testing your foundation and depth”

“I even heard them talking, the End of Time Apocalypse called you a pitiful worm”

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze finally moved again and he spoke: “Things have already gotten to this degree, I can’t simply just give up and die”

Demon Dragon appeared to agree and told him: “You haven’t given up on fighting this entire time, which is certainly praiseworthy—- in truth, among your many decisions, you had made an exceptionally correct one”

At some unknown point, he had already equipped his pair of razor-sharp claw gauntlets.

Demon Dragon’s tone became cold:

“The wielder of the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon could not be harmed by anything or any living being”

The claw gauntlet was abruptly plunged into his chest and pried his heart out from inside.

Demon Dragon’s expression was indifferent. As he looked down at the heart in his hand, he displayed a mocking smile and continued:

“——but nothing would be able to prevent the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon’s wielder from harming himself”

A desperate shriek resounded in the sky:

[NO!]

Instantly, the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon had descended from the sky and landed in front of Demon Dragon.

[Heal——]

As soon as it spoke, Demon Dragon’s claws suddenly closed in.

The heart was crushed.

“Peh!”

He spat up a mass of blood, which dyed this Apocalyptic Divine Weapon a scarlet hue.

“As the wielder of the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon, I have a single pitiful authority: right before my death——”

Demon Dragon then began to recite a mystical chant and muttered:

“There, you’ve been rejected and banished, you’ll be forced to leave this place, and this Reality Gate”

The Apocalyptic Divine Weapon shook and trembled, roaring in a mad tone: [shit, you fucking moron, you don’t know what you’ve just rejected——-]

Demon Dragon looked at the weapon with a look of abhorrence.

“I was once under someone else’s control and lived an entire life that was no better than death”

“From the very first day I lived again during this life, I vowed that I would rather die than to let anyone else take control of my will again”

“Scram”

As soon as he said that, the Apocalyptic Divine Weapon shot up through the sky and flew towards the profound darkness of space.

The Apocalyptic Divine Weapon screamed furiously:

[FOOL! I already know this location, in the near future, I will bring powerful Apocalypse Sequences to this Reality and destroy it all!]

The void of space flickered.

It vanished.

Demon Dragon then turned to Gu Qing Shan.

“Keep in mind, this is nothing but a way to buy time. the Reality Gate would still eventually be found and everything would surely be destroyed” Demon Dragon told him.

“Since we now have time, we’d be able to come up with other solutions, I really have to thank you for this” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Demon Dragon chuckled and mockingly said: “Don’t thank me just yet, you still need to hurry up and return; those Unfathomable Apocalypses haven’t actually gotten serious at all”

Gu Qing Shan looked straight at Demon Dragon.

Demon Dragon had reached his final breaths, all of his vitality quickly fading away from his body.

Demon Dragon crouched down and picked up a handful of sand.

“Gu Qing Shan”

“I’m here”

“I want to ask you——- why are there people whose life would always remain inferior to others no matter how hard they try?”

After asking that

A gust of wind blew past.

The sands in his hand scattered into the breeze.

Demon Dragon closed his eyes and became motionless.
