Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1562: Separation

The Temporal Oasis.

A bright red flare was shot into the sky.

“Who sent the emergency signal?”

“I don’t know”

“Let’s hurry up and take a look”

“Oh no, it’s the first emergency signal in a long while!”

All the Combatants moved as fast as they could towards the location where the flare was sent out.

Only to see Zhang Ying Hao blankly sitting there with a broken shield in front of him.

“The Svalinn shield!”

Laura exclaimed in shock.

She rushed forward and picked up the fragments of the shield, carefully examining them one by one.

“This is an Abyssal Saint Armament, why did it suddenly break? Did you destroy it?” Laura asked.

Zhang Ying Hao shook his head with a bitter smile.

Kitty also told her: “It wasn’t him—— he isn’t nearly strong enough to actually destroy this shield”

“That’s right, none of us here could have destroyed this shield” the chairman of the Spire affirmed.

“Then what happened to the shield?” Barry asked.

Everyone turned to Zhang Ying Hao.

Zhang Ying Hao explained: “Gu Qing Shan gave it to me, but I just discovered today that it had suddenly been broken”

Ye Fei Li approached to take a look and shook his head: “If this was a game, then that shield had probably not been repaired in too long”

No one reacted to him.

“What happened?” a female voice asked.

When everyone turned around, they saw Little Dusk running towards them.

Laura’s eyes lit up: “Big sis Little Dusk, you’re a powerful Angel of Condemnation, your knowledge of Mysticism should far surpass any of us, please help us see what has happened to this shield”

Little Dusk received the fragments of the shield, took a close look at it, then her expression turned serious.

“There was a hidden covenant within this Abyssal Soul Artifact” she explained.

“A hidden covenant?” everyone asked.

“That’s right, the owner of this covenant... had linked himself to another soul, ensuring that they would live together and die together; the power of the covenant’s creator would be shared with that other soul, they would take care of one another; if the covenant’s creator wanted to kill something, they would need the other soul to also agree before the killed entity could die”

“This is a secret covenant of power provision, which contained a bit of transcendental Space-Time capabilities”

“It seemed to have sensed something that caused it to break like this”

Barry asked: “Can we take a look at why it broke?”

Little Dusk shook her head: “We can only see what the covenant’s creator had left behind, not the reason why it had broken”

“Then let us take a look to find out whatever we can” Zhang Ying Hao suggested.

Little Dusk took out a black Card and placed it over the shield fragments, whispered a chant: “Reanimate the past”

The fragments flickered and converged together into the form of a spear once again.

——the 7-colored spear, Abaddon.

This spear only existed for a brief moment before it completely collapsed into tiny colorful fragments that gradually floated into the air before it expanded to form a vision.

A young man was shown in the vision.

He reached his hand forward, continuously fiddling with a few stars hovering in the void of space.

“I’m trying to manifest the form of a spear using these stars, but I’m still missing a few of them. It seems like I’ll have to complete this experiment later when I’ve become stronger” the young man said.

“So you think that manifesting the Laws as weapons would be the best way to utilize this— Star Force?” another young man asked him.

Their faces were both very immature, but their eyes were filled with hope for the future.

——a new world had just opened to them, giving them infinite capabilities.

“That’s right, I think Star Force might be non-sentient world Origin power... perhaps they might even be the ‘Soul Artifact’ in legends?”

The first young man replied while continuing to move the stars, finally forming them into the basic shape of a spear.

“I need four more stars in order to fully manifest it!” the young man breathed heavily.

A female voice was suddenly heard: “That’s enough, Shroud, this is already very impressive, perhaps you should try again after resting a bit”

A girl appeared in the vision.

She was beautiful, so beautiful that even the stars in the sky felt dim in comparison.

The young man called Shroud replied: “The people pursuing you are very powerful; I need to quickly grow stronger in order to protect you”

The young girl froze.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly reached above her head.

The three stars hovering above were caught in her hands and offered to Shroud.

Shroud looked at her.

“I just happen to have three stars right here” the girl also looked at him and gently said.

Shroud slowly smiled.

“Very well, then let us create this spear together, let’s take a look and see if it would be as strong as we’ve imagined”

He received the stars, then arranged them into the missing spots of his spear.

In an instant, the spear’s shape was finished.

A moment of silence.

Suddenly, the spear of stars gave off glorious light.

The spear landed on Shroud and continued to give off a beautiful light hue of blue, orange, and red.

“How beautiful!” Reneedol sighed and praised while she was mesmerized.

“I can sense a very strong power of Laws—– is this the power that the Law Behemoths once wielded?” another girl asked while jumping excitedly.

She was clad in bursts of black flames that periodically pulsated, exuding the presence of Death.

Anna was standing a bit further while observing this girl in the vision, then suddenly felt a strange wave of emotions in her mind.

“How strange... Why do I feel so pained?”

Anna felt a bit sorrowful in her heart and wondered to herself.

The vision continued to play out.

Shroud held the spear, then replied after a while: “It is already considerably powerful, but that isn’t enough, as we continue to gather more stars to construct it, it will grow increasingly more powerful!”

The first girl said: “You and I will do this together”

Shroud looked at her with gentle eyes and said: “Reneedol, you should name this spear”

Reneedol pondered a bit and said: “This spear hasn’t been completely forged. Once it’s finished, how about we call it Abaddon?”

Shroud nodded: “Perfect! And if one day I manage to complete it, I’ll grant it another form”

“What for?” Reneedol asked.

“It must be able to provide offense for me, but also defense for you” Shroud replied.

He turned around to block Reneedol’s vision, then lightly put a sprite of light from his palm into the spear.

This was seen only by the other young man standing next to him.

The vision faded away.

Everything disappeared.

Little Dusk stared blankly at this, up until none of the light remained within the void of space.

After a long while, she shook her head and spoke in a hoarse voice: “This weapon once existed for two hearts, but now everything had already come to an end”

After saying that, she stood up and left the room, wandering away by herself.

...

The Wraith realm.

Gu Qing Shan moved his fingers while observing a few ants crawling around the tip of his fingers.

He was completely calm.

As if the descending true Apocalypse was of no concern to him at all.

Seeing that he couldn’t convince Reneedol, Boss was worried.

“Gu Qing Shan, we have to stop her!” Boss said with a hurried voice.

“I think so as well, but we no longer have a way to stop her” Gu Qing Shan replied.

In the far distance.

Tides of obscuring fog continuously manifested around Reneedol’s body.

Boss suddenly turned into a mass of black flames and hurriedly flew in front of Reneedol.

He returned to human form and told Reneedol: “That’s enough, Reneedol. I’ll help you stop the giant eyeball, don’t summon the Apocalypse!”

Reneedol frowned: “That is none of your business”

“You will destroy everything! Every living being in reality! Reneedol, if everything is destroyed, what meaning would there be in you becoming stronger!?” Boss shouted at her.

Reneedol replied: “Of course there would be meaning”

Boss was shocked.

Reneedol continued: “Even if everything is destroyed, as long as I can survive, why wouldn’t there be meaning?”

She looked at Boss with a rare hint of regret in her eyes:

“Shroud, you’ve always wanted to protect everything and everyone around you, but this is the Age of Apocalypse, one’s personal strength is the most important thing above all else”

“Regretfully, you refuse to understand this, so you will be naturally rejected by this new era”

She lightly lifted her hand.

Boss was sent flying backwards, falling to the ground like a meteor.

A mass of white fog abruptly appeared in mid-air and took Boss away without a trace.

At the edge of the world.

White fog manifested.

Gu Qing Shan helped Boss sit up.

“Are you hurt?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Boss shook his head and didn’t say anything, he simply took out the Book of Prophesized Destinies and opened the very last page.

This page depicted a shining star that had manifested into the form of a 7-colored spear.

Boss silently stared at this spear.

“So you’ve thought it through?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Boss wiped the blood from his mouth and deprecatingly replied: “Perhaps, I really am obsolete”

“And so?” Gu Qing Shan pursued the question.

Boss struggled to let out his answer: “And so, perhaps I should let it all go”

Layers of starlight erupted from his body and followed his hand into the page.

Oong—–

In the book, the 7-colored spear was thoroughly reduced to a cluster of colorful light and slowly disappeared without a trace.

The page became empty once again.

Boss coughed up some blood and slowly laid down.

Gu Qing Shan helped him and said with a bit of joy: “It’s ok as long as you have the determination, leave everything else to me”

Boss smiled wryly without saying anything else.

...

In the sky, two female figures suddenly appeared next to Reneedol.

The Deities of Fate, Clotho and Atropos!

“”Save me!””

The two Deities of Fate screamed in despair, their bodies were gradually reduced to dust with only their skeletons remaining.

“What’s happening? I haven’t given you the permission to die!” Reneedol shouted.

She chanted an incantation.

Unfortunately, the incantation was useless, as the two skeletons also crumbled into dust and vanished.
