Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

When Boss opened his eyes, his irises had turned vertical.

A boundless river of stars manifested behind his back.

Inside the ice crystal under his feet, enough blood to constitute an ocean had manifested, continuously flowing and roaring under the ice.

He appeared like the Lord of everything, the natural master of all things and all living beings.

Boss raised his hand and lightly ripped open the void of space with his finger.

A black mass of blood appeared from the void of space and dropped at his feet.

Boss opened his pair of vertical irises wide open and stared straight at the mass of blood:

"Your duty has been handed over to me, from now on, you are free"

The mass of blood flew back up as it manifested into the shape of an old man, and closely approached Boss.

「 What exactly are you? 」the old man dryly asked.

Boss looked at him and casually replied: "Do you really want to know?"

「 I manifested from a drop of the master's blood, for what reason could you replace me and become the one responsible for the entire world!? 」the old man angrily questioned.

Boss stood still.

The old man suddenly grinned and slowly said: 「 Do you really think you can inherit my body and this world? I'll tell you the truth, I've already made plenty of changes to this world, only I would be able to control----- 」

From the void of space, numerous tubes suddenly appeared and stuck themselves all over the old man's body.

「 Argh! 」

The old man uttered a curt scream, then turned back into a mass of blood which was swiftly sucked away by the tubes.

From the void of space, a frigid voice resounded:

[Right to live has been rescinded, discovered behaviors going beyond jurisdiction, target elimination complete]

The tubes swiftly vanished without a trace.

In merely a breath's worth of time, the Lord of Infinite Origins had ceased to exist.

This scene was both terrifying and horrifying, which was exactly the same as when Boss changed his world jurisdiction.

Everyone was shocked.

Little Dusk and Scarlet couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Gu Qing Shan's expression was solemn.

Reneedol was also trembling nonstop, doing her best to control herself.

Boss then sent his voice to Gu Qing Shan: "Hurry up, I can now grant you enough power to unleash that strike"

"Huh? Sure" Gu Qing Shan replied.

A mass of white fog appeared around his body bringing him directly in front of Boss.

Boss' physique seemed to have gotten a bit taller and slenderer, but his presence had completely changed.

"Your eyes are a bit freaky, what's going on?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"It's a temporary sign of awakening, no need to pay any attention, I'll explain it to you later" Boss replied.

"What do I do now?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.

"Wait a moment" Boss said.

Fresh blood surged and boiled beneath his feet.

Layers of starlight gradually entered his body until he began glowing like a bright star in the sky, radiating blinding light.

"This should be enough… now tell me, does your attack have any sort of restrictions?" Boss asked.

Gu Qing Shan knew that he was talking about [Null Tribulation], so he answered: "The previous strikes must hit the target before I can unleash the final one"

"Then I'll send you away towards the Pantheon at a relatively safe place, you'd be able to unleash your final strike towards all those things" Boss said.

Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "It'll take an extremely large amount of force to completely send those things away, are you sure you would be able to do it?"

Boss smiled and replied: "The one who can do it is you, only that power you carry would be able to scatter those things that are crushing the Pantheon. Only you would be able to knock them into the Space Vortex, but I'll be the one supplying all the power you need"

Gu Qing Shan replied: "Alright, do it"

Boss closed his eyes for a bit and said: "Prepare----"

"Three"

"Two"

"One!"

He raised his hand and waved towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan instantly disappeared.

He appeared inside the Pantheon next to a part of the underground river.

The ceiling of this place had almost broken all the way down with quite a few Samsara debris stuck in place, only a hair's breadth away from collapsing.

Countless black tentacles appeared from the void of space and wrapped around Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan remained calm.

In the void of space in front of him, lines of glowing text appear one after another:

[The power of all Laws are currently gathering around your body]

[Attention, your personal strength is being temporarily increased]

[After one minute, your power will reach a peak that surpasses all enemies you've ever seen in the past]

[The countdown is beginning:]

[59]

[58]

[57]

[…]

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath.

Boss' circumstances are too strange, I really wonder what his background truly is.

From what I saw earlier, Reneedol practically went insane when she noticed that Boss was communicating with the entity beneath the ice.

What does Reneedol know?

Wait a minute------

Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.

Reneedol is an incarnation of the Apocalypse.

After the war during the Age of Myriad Deities, the Apocalypse had remained hidden this entire time and only entered the Realm of Life through the Twin Tree of Fate.

Its goal was Shroud, who is also Boss.

But why?

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

The fact that Boss would become the Lord of Infinite Origins seemed to have been predestined.

Although he's full of mysteries, it's also true that he's on my side.

Cra-ra-ra-ra-ra---------

Above him, the Samsara debris were piling more and more on top of one another, giving off an increasingly duller noise.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

-------the situation here is getting worse and worse.

Regardless, let's resolve the issue of the Samsara first and worry about everything else later.

Gu Qing Shan took out his crimson flaming gloves and put them on, silently preparing to unleash [Ethereal].

…

The frozen world.

Reneedol was hovering in mid-air, she was no longer killing the inert Deities.

She silently observed Boss.

A warm smile appeared on the corner of Boss' mouth as he called out:

"------Reneedol!"

"Shroud, what's the matter? I used the armor of Fate to protect you because I was afraid you'd suffer injuries" Reneedol told him with a sincere tone.

Boss reached his hand to her and said: "Come, come next to me, Reneedol. All of 'that' had officially begun"

Reneedol appeared surprised, her expression changing a few times.

The armor components slowly returned to her body.

She slowly descended from above and landed in front of Boss.

"Do you know what you're saying?" Reneedol muttered.

"Of course" Boss replied.

"That is----" Reneedol hesitantly said.

"Speak no more, I know that you've arrived, you came to awaken me" Boss looked straight at her.

"Very well, wait a moment for me" after saying that, Reneedol took a step back.

Numerous thin strands of thread appeared all around her body.

These threads weaved into a solid mass and eventually formed a giant dark featureless humanoid face.

The face opened its mouth and devoured Reneedol.

After a few moments of shaking, the dark featureless humanoid face turned back into Reneedol.

However, she now exuded a dark glow around her body with a cold expression, she was clearly no longer the previous Reneedol.

"What are you doing?" Boss frowned.

The girl smiled, then answered: "This is the Fate Shell of Parasitism, the two insects were able to borrow and reside within it, so I can naturally use it as well"

"Living embodiments of the Law of Fate are quite rare, are they our subordinates?" Boss questioned.

The girl replied: "Clotho was our natural enemy, while Atropos was the embodiment of the Law of Ending Fate, so she can be considered our subordinate, but she had too many unnecessary thoughts and was not loyal enough"

"How did you notice?" Boss asked.

"Because of the Law, she would naturally become close to you and gain your favor, but she was hiding ambition unfit for her identity"

While they talked, she circled once around Boss with a delighted expression.

"Your body is still in slumber, so it's best that you keep up your guard" the girl commented.

"For what?" Boss asked.

"They were so heavily injured to the point of being separated, you should watch out in case they gain sentience" the girl replied.

"That doesn't require your attention, how's the situation outside?" Boss asked.

The girl appeared full of vicissitudes and confessed everything:

"I searched everywhere to finally find your presence inside of this Reality Gate, but after I entered, I was defeated by the drop of blood on your body------ it created embodiments of Law, then forged the three Divine Artifacts of Fate. I was no match for it at the time, so I had to go into hiding"

"After countless years, I manipulated two Deities of Fate, entered the Realm of Life once again, and finally found you who had manifested into human form"

She knelt in front of Boss.

"Eradicator of all things and all living beings, the Unspeakable Hushed Secret Apocalypse, we have been waiting for your return for too long" the girl softly spoke.

"Really?"

Boss commented as he gently put his hand over the girl's head and stroked it.

"Indeed, I was able to sense your will and witness your awakening. I helped you regain your power, and then------"

She abruptly stopped.

Countless sharp tentacles appeared in the palm of Boss' hand and pierced through her body.

In an instant, countless tubes once again appeared from the void of space and connected to the tentacles as they pierced through the girl's body.

"AAEEIIIII! NO, YOU AREN'T HIM, WHO EXACTLY ARE YOU!" the girl screamed in horror.

The frigid voice resounded once again from the void of space:

[Apocalypse Seeker detected, following authorized individual's orders to dissolve this entity's structure]

[Structure dissolution complete, absorbing all of its power]

[Initiating erasure of all traces]

In that instant, Reneedol's dark glowing body completely disappeared.

Boss suddenly spoke up: "Leave the original body that is the embodiment of the Law of Fate"

The frigid voice emotionlessly replied: [Order accepted]

[Apocalypse Seeker has been completely crushed, returning the body it took over to its previous state]

The tubes that were gradually fading away began to appear once again.

They moved slightly.

Boundless dark lights were spat out by them to reform into the shape of an individual.

A girl wearing dress armor.

Reneedol.
