Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

In the darkness.

Fresh blood flowed.

Lines of bloody red text continuously popped up one after another:

[Attention!]

[Under uncontrollable circumstances, the Coin of the Earth has made a decision]

[The Coin of the Earth has released its full power to help you invoke the true power of the Earth God: Virtue]

[Virtue: The true power of a Saint Pillar (unique)]

[Description: By selecting a source of attack, all damage caused by that source will be jointly shared by you and your surroundings. You will gain the seed of that attack's power, then nurture it through the power of the Earth God until you obtain it as your own]

[To provide for all, nurture all, and grow all, such is the Virtue of the Earth]

[You must fully grasp one seed of power before you can invoke Virtue once again]

The lightning giant quickly skimmed through these notifications while lying at the bottom of the hole.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The ground could be heard continuously rumbling.

The lightning giant laid motionlessly, but he was experiencing a miraculous sensation.

The ground around his surroundings---

No, this entire region itself.

The whole region had just received that previous attack together with him.

The all-destructive power from before is continuously flowing out from my body and is being absorbed by the ground, sharing the damage and force of that ferocious attack.

That's why Luo Shui city was erased in an instant.

And this damage sharing persists even now.

The injuries I suffered earlier are gradually becoming lighter and fading away.

Otherwise, I would have already died.

「 How ridiculous 」

The lightning giant seemed to have sensed something and took a deep breath before struggling to stand back up.

Once again, everything around him fell into silence.

All the noises had been removed.

「 GARRGHHHH! 」

The lightning giant uttered a resounding roar and took out a giant axe of lightning from thin air.

He tried raising the lightning axe as high as possible.

At almost the same time, from far above the sky, the blindingly brilliant light once again descended.

Like a giant pillar connecting heaven and earth, or perhaps a feat of god, the brilliant light crashed into the ground in a flash.

As the light came into contact with the lightning axe, the axe was instantly crushed, offering no protection as the lightning struck the lightning giant.

The ground around him completely broke apart.

The intense shockwaves rampaged across and through the land, scattering dirt and rock all over the place.

「 Want to kill me? Dream on! 」

The lightning giant roared.

His body was covered in terrifying wounds, but the wounds only appeared without actually spreading or becoming worse.

On the other hand, the entire region of land under his feet had been dug completely through.

However, the void of space around him seemed to be fluctuating as well, seemingly helping him share the damage.

The blinding pillar of light flickered and gradually faded away.

The lightning giant fell to his knee under the deep hole, unable to keep himself from breathing heavily.

Both the void and the earth had shared the full brunt of that attack with him.

This was the reason why he was still alive.

「 Hoh… hoh… hoh… 」

The giant continuously breathed heavily, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Immediately after that, his surroundings once again fell into silence.

Silence.

Absolute silence.

The terrifying silence right before a tsunami hits.

The same attack is coming for the third time!

The giant's pupils become dilated.

Although the damage I suffered is only about 1/1000 of the attack's full power, I can't keep taking damage like this, or I'll eventually die to the infinite number of attacks.

Right at this point, a few lines of bloody red text appeared in front of his vision:

[Attention, the Sequence had used the remaining portions of its power to help you absorb the power of the Awaitings of Chaos, this process cannot be interrupted, so the Sequence will not be able to aid you]

[But you must persist]

[Persist!]

The lightning giant silently read these notifications.

He spat out some blood and coldly replied: 「 Nonsense… if I didn't persist, I wouldn't be able to surrender regardless 」

The giant uttered a battle cry and tried to stand up again.

He struggled to raise his hand and pointed up towards the void of space above his head.

Layers upon layers of glittering lightning began to manifest out of thin air, which stacked on top of one another all the way up.

[Domain of the Tribulation Lord]!

The giant shifted his body and spread his legs to form a defensive posture with his entire body.

At the very next moment.

The night sky once again became day.

A blinding pillar of light pierced through the heaven to crash upon the giant.

All the walls of lightning on the way were easily crushed and erased without leaving anything behind.

Bang!!!

The pillar of light once again struck the giant.

「 GAH! 」

The giant put up both hands in front of himself, trying to block as much as possible.

Under his feet, the ground continued to collapse, being reduced to fine dust as the intense shockwaves were being blown back into the air like a tornado.

The giant continued to be pushed into the ground by the descending pillar.

He was holding his breath while using every last ounce of strength he possessed to block the pillar.

The earth, the void, all things.

Everything was helping him share the damage he received.

But this level of attack wasn't something that the giant could resist.

Even after using his entire strength, he was still nearly dead.

Boom!

Right as his consciousness was about to fade, he felt his back touching something.

That something seemed to contain an infinite amount of Wind spirit energy, the sheer volume of which instantly took a huge amount of damage for him.

The giant's consciousness quickly returned and couldn't help himself from turning around.

He was standing in front of a bunch of Wind Spirit Stones that had been piled up at the center of a formation.

So this place was the Elements Purgatory!

At some unknown point, he had been struck so far underground that he had directly entered the Elements Purgatory!

As if it has been waiting for this, lines of bloody red text suddenly popped up in front of his vision:

[This attack has interfered with the progress of the Samsara's reset]

[Persevere for a bit longer, you will be saved!]

The giant gritted his teeth and continued trying to block the force of the light pillar.

At the very next moment.

Something unusual seemed to have occurred.

The entirety of the Elements Purgatory suddenly vanished.

The world was nowhere to be seen.

The giant had also left the main world.

The pillar of light that had been attacking him also vanished, no longer able to damage him.

The giant finally had time to catch his breath, his injuries were no longer worsening.
