Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

The outside was covered in complete darkness.

Nothing could be seen.

This was the scene being displayed by the Sacred Gate.

Gu Qing Shan asked: "Is there really nothing outside?"

「 There is water 」the Sacred Gate replied: 「 This room we're currently in had most likely been submerged in water, there is water all around us 」

"Then, we're probably in the underwater portion of the Pantheon ruins" Scarlet commented.

"Or maybe even deeper" Little Dusk added.

"------How deep are we?" Boss asked.

「 Fortunately, I can't sense any pressure, it's probably not very deep 」the Sacred Gate answered.

Boss then reminded Gu Qing Shan: "There's no need to try diving too deep underwater, make sure to stay in the shallow regions----- from what I remember, those things were all submerged in extremely deep water"

Gu Qing Shan asked: "Weren't they all in slumber?"

Boss replied: "Even while in slumber they are still dangerous, definitely do not approach any regions in deep water"

"Alright, I got it------ I'll head up to the Isle of Protection first, then try and see if I am able to return"

As Gu Qing Shan finished speaking, he filled the room with gems another time, just in case the Lord of Infinite Origins suddenly ambushed them again.

"Go ahead, make sure to stay safe. If you can, check up on Reneedol for me" Boss told him.

"No problem"

Gu Qing Shan turned into an orange cat and lightly leapt into the air.

"Meow"

The sound of a cat could be heard.

The orange cat swiftly disappeared in front of everyone.

…

The Isle of Protection.

As the mass of white fog scattered, the orange cat climbed out of the shallow river bank and quickly hid in a bush.

He cautiously observed his surroundings.

---------a large number of elves were patrolling along the riverbanks, the giants were responsible for keeping a lookout for anything that occurs outside of the Isle, while the pixies and other species in the Isle were responsible for maintaining order in the Isle itself.

Everything was in order.

From the looks of it, they hadn't noticed that the secret room disappeared.

Strange.

The orange cat was a bit puzzled, so he used [Fog Realm Descent] to directly arrive at the original location of the secret room.

--------the secret room was still here.

The place appeared exactly the same as the secret room that they were taking refuge in, down to the tiniest details.

Several elves stood outside of the secret room as guards.

A giant came stumbling, but was chased away by the elves.

"Go away, the Combatants who saved everyone are resting in the secret room, what did you come here for?" one of the elves said with irritation.

The giant tried to smile in a friendly manner and said: 「 I'm not here for anything, I just wanted to know how the Guardian and sir Death God are doing 」

"They're both resting in the secret room, don't bother them" another elf replied.

Receiving this answer, the giant was satisfied and left.

The orange cat shivered a bit, then released his inner sight to examine the insides of the secret room.

------this isn't the secret room at all, even my inner sight was easily able to penetrate it.

There's no one inside.

It seems that these elves and giants haven't realized that we've been taken away together with the secret room itself.

This was very well done by the Lord of Infinite Origins.

The orange cat thought briefly while wagging his tail.

I can't tell them about what just happened, otherwise, it would only cause unnecessary fear and panic.

------it's best to maintain this façade for now.

The orange cat lightly flew away.

He had left the Isle, heading downstream of the underground river.

Not too long ago, he ran into Boss, who was heading after Reneedol, at this location.

If Boss was led here by the Lord of Infinite Origins--------

Why did the Lord of Infinite Origins have to do such a thing?

The orange cat gradually became cautious.

While maintaining gentle flight, he slowly moved forward.

After a few dozen minutes of flight, he heard some people talking ahead of him.

The orange cat silently approached while concealing himself.

This was a divine palace that had been submerged in water, leaving only half of the roof portion above water, which contained the statue of a female pixie.

Reneedol and the female elf from before were both here.

"There's still no commotion even after so long, could that apocalypse have passed?" Reneedol asked.

"Don't hold such wishful thinking" the female elf refuted: "That was the Five Element Calamity, capable of continuously evolving. Once you approach it, it would suck you in and kill you before you can even think of retaliating"

Reneedol appeared hesitant.

"Thanks to you, I've recalled my past in the Age of Myriad Deities, but I still can't remember what happened that night" she suddenly said.

The orange cat's expression froze.

-----Reneedol had regained her past memories?

This isn't good news.

The orange cat flew lower, cautiously approaching them from the other side of the roof.

Lachesis hurriedly called out: "Atropos, more and more Apocalypses will keep showing up by the day, you have to take me with you so I can survive!"

"My sister, why do you insist on saying that I'd be able to survive?" Reneedol asked with a strange expression.

Lachesis loudly shouted: "Because you possess the Wing of Fate, it is the proof of your survival into the future. During the overpowering waves of Apocalypses, it will ensure that you will be able to survive until the very end!"

Reneedol's expression appeared cold and said: "Among us three sisters, you were the psychotic, the one they all feared. Who would have thought there'd be a day when you'd openly beg me like this just for the hope of survival?"

"You-----" Lachesis opened her eyes wide and spoke.

"Lachesis" Reneedol lightly cut her off, "Tell me the real situation. If you don't tell me, how would I know what's truly going on? And if I don't know, I would definitely not help you with anything"

Lachesis hung her head, hesitated for a bit, then finally said: "The Pantheon we've hidden at the edge of the Dusty World has been destroyed"

"Who destroyed it?" Reneedol asked

Lachesis sorrowfully replied: "Who else could it be? The one who created us using the Laws, the Lord of Infinite Origins, Godfather of all Deities, the King of everything"

Reneedol took a step back and cautiously observed her.

Lachesis shook her head: "We fled into the Realm of Life because the Myriad Deities in the Realm of Death had all become his puppets. We had no other choice but to run away"

Reneedol said: "But from what I can see, you aren't under his control at all"

Lachesis abruptly looked up at her and raised her voice: "That's because when he created me, he used the pixie's bloodline to make up half of me! You know just how unreasonable of a species the pixies are, he can't project his thoughts onto a pixie's body!"

Reneedol nodded.

"My sister, you are correct. The Myriad Deities have now become a part of the past, and to survive while being trapped between the Apocalypses and the Lord of Infinite Origins, you truly have no other option but to rely on me"

She took a step forward and said: "But sister, I cannot trust you. You must make a Deific Vow to guarantee that you would never harm me, only then would I accept you"

Lachesis took a step back.

Reneedol followed with another step forward and continued: "You would be able to follow me and survive, heeding the new era together. I can already see the resurrection of the Myriad Deities as well as our glorious future, however-----"

She stared straight into Lachesis's eyes and doubtfully asked: "How can I be assured and leave my back to you?"

Lachesis sighed, then said: "Similarly, I cannot trust you"

Reneedol immediately knelt on one knee, lowered her head, closed her eyes, and made a vow: "I, one of three Deities of Fate, Atropos, hereby make a vow to the disciplinary net of the Myriad Deities. As long as Lachesis makes a similar Deific Vow as a guarantee, I vow to never harm her and heed the new era together"

From the void of space, numerous tiny whispers were suddenly heard.

A flower crown appeared from thin air, which was caught by Reneedol and placed over her head.

"Take a look, my sister, I've been recognized by the Deific Vow, now it is your turn"

Lachesis had been holding her breath, it was only now that she finally sighed in relief.

She also knelt on one knee in front of Reneedol, lowered her head, closed her eyes, and also began to make a Deific Vow:

"I, Lachesis, hereby make a vow…"

As she continued to chant, Reneedol silently observed her while listening to her vow.

Suddenly, Reneedol reached out her hand and quickly tapped the void of space several times.

Behind Lachesis, from the nearby rushing river, a mass of dark fog suddenly manifested.

This fog quickly approached Lachesis and formed a dark net behind Lachesis.

Lachesis didn't notice this at all.

Reneedol's expression still hadn't changed, seemingly listening to her vow.

Right as Lachesis was about to finish her vow, the net abruptly turned into a giant featureless humanoid face that opened its mouth and chomped down.

"AH--------"

Lachesis uttered a curt scream.

The featureless face tilted backwards and swallowed her whole!

Reneedol collapsed on the ground and continuously trembled.

However, while she trembled, she abruptly broke into laughter:

"A vow? Did you really think I'd let you finish that vow? One of you was too psychotic, and the other was too snobbish, I knew neither of you would be able to amount to anything, my sisters!"

The giant featureless humanoid face carefully chewed for a while, then calmed down and turned to Reneedol.

「 Prepare 」

It spoke with a resounding voice:

「 The power of the three Deities of Fate shall belong to you alone! 」

Endless black fog rushed forward from the underground river and fully enveloped Reneedol.
