Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

[1!]

[You've obtained a portion of the Apocalypse Sequence: Palace of Fear, which the Sequence has manifested into an elementary Apocalyptic power]

[Lord of Horror (elementary): Any entity that faces you will be subjected to hallucinations that cannot be dispelled, from which they would feel true fear]

[-----At the advent of the Apocalypse, fear spreads through all living beings]

Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through this description and silently felt surprised.

This is a completely unheard-of ability, not belonging to any specific type, and is capable of directly affecting an enemy's psyche, which is truly hard to defend against.

And most importantly, these hallucinations can't be dispelled at all.

In a fight, that's extremely fatal.

And this is only the elementary version of [Lord of Horror]…

How powerful would an advanced version of [Lord of Horror] be?

Suddenly, he thought of something and immediately asked:

"Sequence, are you awake?"

Two lines of bloody red text appeared in the void of space:

[Not yet]

[For energy conservation purposes, please do not talk with me]

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

He suddenly returned to his senses and started looking at his surroundings.

At some unknown point, all the graves within this graveyard had disappeared.

Even the tombstones were nowhere to be seen.

Only the Samsara War General's tombstone remained on the ground, which had been broken into several pieces.

"So they've all run away?"

Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he felt his vision becoming blurred for a split second.

The howling of a snowstorm.

Whiteness as far as the eye could see.

There wasn't a single thing on the frozen river, and the tattered palaces had all disappeared without a trace.

----he had returned to the Elements War Zone!

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit hesitant.

That snake monster said that everyone who had ever entered this place would have to face a kind of Apocalypse, but now that I've already devoured the Palace of Fear, what's next?

Gu Qing Shan decisively went back the same way he came.

Not too long after, he saw the wreck of the Wrought Iron Giant on the ground, as well as------

The snake-headed humanoid monster who was restrained on the ground by 7-8 lengths of chains.

"Hey, I'm back" Gu Qing Shan greeted it.

The humanoid snake monster stared at him and spoke with a disappointed tone: 「 You've actually managed to not die… 」

"That's right, thanks to the information you gave. When it came to the Palace of Fear, everything you said was indeed the truth" Gu Qing Shan replied.

「 Even if that's the case, you've already reached the end of your path 」the monster coldly sneered.

Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "Oh? What else is there? I'm all ears"

The monster's expression became a bit more arrogant.

Gu Qing Shan crossed his arms and pursued the issue: "You seem quite worried, what exactly is going to happen?"

The monster completely ignored him and started to roll around on the ground, its body slowly sinking down.

Using its long tail, it moved the dirt and mud in the surroundings to cover its body before going completely silent.

Gu Qing Shan: "…"

The snowstorm was growing increasingly more intense.

From the other side of the snowy plains, the sound of intense howling could be heard from the faraway mountain ranges.

Heaven and earth slowly became dim.

"It seems like something is about to happen" Gu Qing Shan muttered.

His inner alarms were blaring.

What exactly is it?

It seems… quite dangerous.

--------the humanoid snake's reaction is the best proof of that.

After staying silent for a few moments, Gu Qing Shan walked up and started stomping the ground, calling out: "Hey, come out here"

「 Scram, brat 」

The humanoid snake's voice could be heard from below the ground.

----it was being restrained very tightly by the chains, so it could only sink into the outermost layer of mud, unable to dig itself any further down.

"What are you afraid of over here? Tell me" Gu Qing Shan said.

「 Heh… 」the humanoid snake just scoffed at him without answering.

"Don't be so cold, let's talk about this for a bit" Gu Qing Shan earnestly insisted.

The situation abruptly changed------

Whoosh!

The dirt and mud suddenly went flying.

The monster had leapt out of the ground, its sharp claw aiming straight for Gu Qing Shan-------

Shu!

Its claw stabbed straight into its own chest.

Their eyes met.

Plish!

Plish!

Plish!

Blood started flowing.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "Haven't you learnt a single thing? Just look, you're bleeding again"

The humanoid snake gritted its teeth: 「 Don't act so high and mighty, do you really think you're going to run away this time? Dream on! 」

It swiftly pulled its claw back out and swung at Gu Qing Shan again.

Clang!

Gu Qing Shan blocked the claw with his blade and scowled: "Do you really want to die?"

The humanoid snake coldly sneered, then mocked him: 「 I'm going to keep you busy here, then----- 」

It suddenly went silent as its eyes became filled with fear.
