Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 982

Chapter 982: She Who Stops [Chaos]

The Fog Isle of the Dead Sea.

A lone island surrounded by a boundless ocean.

It was also where the Holy Church of Fate resided.

Above the island, far in the sky, two figures appeared.

Su Xue Er.

Ning Yue Chan.

“Where is this place?”

Ning Yue Chan looked around and asked.

“Right below us is the Holy Church of Fate” Su Xue Er replied.

She cast a communication spell with a flick of her hand, reporting her return to the Holy Church.

“I seem to need to help you save an entity called the Angel of Condemnation?” Ning Yue Chan asked.

“Yes, this must be directly related to what Gu Qing Shan is planning to achieve, so it’s necessary” Su Xue Er replied.

The two of them simply looked at one another without speaking anything else.

Several knights of the church flew up and respectfully bowed to greet Su Xue Er.

“Return, I will deal with a certain matter first before going back to the Holy Church” Su Xue Er told them.

“Understood”

The knights looked at Su Xue Er, then at Ning Yue Chan before flying back down.

Ning Yue Chan remained silent and watched as this unfolded.

After giving her orders, Su Xue Er turned to Ning Yue Chan without saying a word as well.

Although they only got to meet Gu Qing Shan for an extremely brief moment, with their level of intelligence and wit, it was more than enough for them to form several conjectures.

Silence.

Su Xue Er looked at Ning Yue Chan, hesitated for a long while before she spoke up: “I arrived at a certain conjecture—– you actually know Gu Qing Shan, don’t you?”

Ning Yue Chan nodded with a calm expression.

Su Xue Er bit her lip and silently stared at her.

“Thinking back about what happened earlier, I believe you also know him” Ning Yue Chan said.

“Of course I know him, we came from the same world, we’ve already known each other since we were in school together” Su Xue Er told her straight.

Ning Yue Chan thought about those words.

School—– is apparently a place to learn, like the places where people exchanged techniques and skills.

Then…

“What about you, why do you know him?” Su Xue Er asked.

Ning Yue Chan replied: “He is part of Bai Hua sect, the 3rd ranking sword cultivator disciple under Bai Hua Fairy, we met on the battlefield where he once saved my life”

Su Xue Er was stunned.

Bai Hua sect.

Bai Hua Fairy.

The 3rd ranking sword cultivator disciple.

What’s going on?

Su Xue Er looked at Ning Yue Chan and doubtfully asked: “Could you have gotten the wrong person?”

“I wouldn’t mistake him for anyone else—— I want to know when you got to know him” Ning Yue Chan asked.

“I first met him several years ago” Su Xue Er replied.

After thinking for a bit, Ning Yue Chan understood.

“Occasionally, he would disappear without a trace, it must be at those times that he went to your world” she muttered.

Su Xue Er wielded her staff and pointed it at her, questioning:

“None of that is important right now, I ask you, earlier you said that you had a mutual Dao companion, it was him wasn’t it?”

Ning Yue Chan answered indifferently: “We didn’t spend much time together and rarely had time to even meet face to face, we certainly aren’t Dao companion, however—–”

“However, what?” Su Xue Er pursued.

“I truly do like him” Ning Yue Chan replied.

Su Xue Er froze.

Her casual attitude made it so that she didn’t know how to respond at all.

“Did you know, this place is the Holy Church of Fate, and I’m currently its acting Pope. With a single order, I can have countless people charge forward to take your life” Su Xue Er said.

“What are you trying to say?” Ning Yue Chan asked.

“I forbid you from enticing Gu Qing Shan, or get close to him ever again!” Su Xue Er declared.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve never tried to entice him”

“If you aren’t trying to entice him, why would you still approach him?”

“Because I like him” Ning Yue Chan simply answered.

Su Xue Er was speechless.

She raised the staff in her hand.

Ning Yue Chan lowered her gaze and whispered: “I suggest that you don’t attack me. You’ve already exhausted all of your power during the previous battle, if you try to fight me right now before anyone else arrives running, I would be able to kill you”

Su Xue Er questioned: “If you’re so sure of that, why haven’t you killed me?”

“Why should I kill you?” Ning Yue Chan asked her in return.

Su Xue Er completely lost it and shouted: “Because I also like him!”

Ning Yue Chan drew the Blade at her hip and coldly replied: “Gu Qing Shan is a true sword cultivator, there will be countless people who hold affection for him, and he would surely come into contact with numerous excellent women, wouldn’t that mean I have to kill all of them?”

Su Xue Er froze.

Ning Yue Chan continued: “As this Ning Yue Chan traversed my world and the 900 million World Layers, I’ve met countless men who held affection for me, too many to even keep count, would my future Dao companion have to kill them all as well?”

Su Xue Er stuttered, but still insisted: “But then——- there is only one Gu Qing Shan, I would definitely not surrender him to you!”

Ning Yue Chan chuckled: “What a cute girl you are, I suppose you’ve never really come into contact with your admirers, have you?”

“I’ve never paid attention to any men other than Gu Qing Shan” Su Xue Er answered.

Ning Yue Chan mused and spoke: “Then from the looks of it, I’ve actually met him quite late. Having received the affection and courtship of so many men, I understand such relations much better than you do”

Su Xue Er coldly scoffed: “You’re trying to say that you’re better than me, is that it?”

“No, I simply want to tell you this——– Gu Qing Shan doesn’t belong to you, or me, he belongs to himself”

Ning Yue Chan continued: “If you truly love him so obsessively much that you insist on having him no matter the cost, even to the point that you would kill every woman he came into contact with, then I have nothing more to say, we can have our bout right here and now”

“Don’t play dumb, don’t you also want to be with him?” Su Xue Er angrily refuted.

“I want to be with him” Ning Yue Chan nodded and admitted: “However, even if he can’t be with me, even if he chooses to be with you in the end, I would still hold the same affection towards him”

Su Xue Er was stunned.

Indeed, a man of Gu Qing Shan’s caliber would surely draw untold amounts of affection.

Am I really going to kill everyone that likes him?

Disregarding that, I can’t even defeat this woman in front of me.

—–not to mention she saved my life once.

“But if I don’t fight you at least once, my heart can’t calm down” Su Xue Er dejectedly said.

Ning Yue Chan smiled.

“Feeling discomfort from seeing the affection of another, that is a very naïve notion”

While saying so, she wielded her Blade.

“Come, I know you’re feeling irritated, I’ll spar with you just once”

Su Xue Er angrily: “I won’t be holding back”

Ning Yue Chan watched her pure and angry expression, then grinned.

“But it seems I’ll have to hold back today”

Ning Yue Chan vanished from where she was.

At the same time, Su Xue Er threw a Card out.

Their battle began!

…

Time continued to pass.

As the Bramble Bird ship, [The Empress] was heading away from the Bramble Bird Kingdom towards the deeper region of the Mystic Zones.

An Abyssal Behemoth had just crossed the border between the Mystic Zones and the Strife Zones in order to enter the Mystic Zones.

All of a sudden, a furious roar arrived from the back of the Abyssal Behemoth:

「『 The [Order] had been born once again! Hurry, we need to arrive and kill the carrier of that [Order]! 」』

The Abyssal Behemoth let out a low thunderous growl and sped up again.

All of a sudden, a spark of blinding light appeared from a faraway location inside the space vortex.

Boom!

The explosion rang out across the space vortex.

This attack caused the image of countless worlds to manifest around it, respectively displaying their current state.

With a pained and confused groan of pain, the Abyssal Behemoth stopped its advance.

Despite being a monster big enough to rival an entire galaxy, it was stopped by a single attack.

Another spark of blinding light.

Boom!!!

The Abyssal Behemoth was forced back.

This attack was so powerful that it would easily destroy an entire world.

The Abyssal Behemoth let out another thunderous roar.

And then…

White sparks of blinding light kept shooting at it from the void of space one after another.

The Soul Shrieker furiously shouted: 「『 Who is it? Do you want to die? 」』

No answer.

Only a consecutive barrage of attacks that rained on the Abyssal Behemoth, causing it to be unable to move.

———because of how big the Abyssal Behemoth was, the attacks would hit it no matter what.

After a bit of hesitation, the Soul Shrieker jumped down from the Abyssal Behemoth’s back and prepared to move forward on its own.

But that wasn’t possible either.

Countless sparks of light continued to be shot from far away in the space vortex towards the Soul Shrieker and the Abyssal Behemoth.

Soon, this manifested as a magnificent sight within the boundless space vortex.

All the attacks were chained together to form a wall of light that pushed from the Mystic Zones towards the Strife Zones.

The entirety of the space vortex was encompassed within this wall of light, leaving no room for evasion.

These sparks of light were countless scrolls, runes, weapons, ballistic shells, rituals, summoned creatures, Soul Artifacts, all of which were being shot from the faraway side of the space vortex.

The only thing that the Soul Shrieker could do was to protect its body and make sure that it wouldn’t be pushed away.

Behind it, the Abyssal Behemoth was unable to endure this kind of attack and slowly fell back into the Strife Zones.

——-facing hundreds of thousands of such attacks, it was forced to fall into slumber and would require an untold amount of time in order to reawaken.

Which meant that the Soul Shrieker had lost its steed!

Its speed would be reduced significantly, perhaps unable to even catch up to Gu Qing Shan’s group.

…

The far side of the space vortex.

The Bramble Bird first, second, and third grand fleet were docked here.

The fleet didn’t care who was approaching them or how powerful the other party was, they had received orders to simply bombarded them with the countless treasures that the Bramble Bird Kingdom had accumulated over the years.

The unbelievable scene just now was manifested through unleashing treasures en masse without any regards to their cost towards the border of the Mystic Zones and Strife Zones.

When the first, second, and third grand fleet ran empty, they changed their direction and headed into the Mystic Zones.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth grand fleet then replaced them, continuing to rain single-use forms of attacks that should normally be kept in a vault as the last resort from their ships towards the Strife Zones.

This was essentially a continuous area of effect that absolutely couldn’t be dodged no matter what.

Soul Shrieker could only endure the unrelenting attacks and roared: 「『 You dared kill my Behemoth! You insignificant obstacles will die here today! I am—— the Envoy of [Chaos]! 」』

The fleets completely ignored its roaring and silently continued raining their attacks down on it.

Only the Bramble Bird General Ilya stood on the deck of a certain ship and muttered without care:

“That’s right, you’re the Envoy of [Chaos], but our Majesty is the Sovereign of Wealth”
