Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

「 Playing dirty? 」the giant tree coldly scoffed.

"That's right, I've decided not to join the Corruption faction, after all, the world's civilization is still waiting for me to drive it forward, I need to become a man who serves the people and carry the era on my shoulders, so how could I be related to Corruption in any way?" Gu Qing Shan puffed out his chest and declared.

Lines of bloody red text quickly appeared:

[Your words resonate with the will of the world, your dirty play has been recognized by the world, by the Samsara, and naturally, by the Supreme Sequence]

[Furthermore, the Tree of Holy Wishes is only a Basic Holy Artifact from the Corruption Sequence, its power is insufficient to go against the will of the world]

[-----Playing Dirty has been successfully performed]

Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.

After all, he was a human, while the pixie race's Quipcraft had a very strict prerequisite for invocation------

The invoker must be a pixie.

The only reason he managed to do so this time was that the entire world was standing on his side.

This occasion also served as a warning to Gu Qing Shan.

------certain abilities are specific to certain races, so it wouldn't always be as easy as simply copying and using them.

Hearing his words the Tree of Holy Wishes slowly fell silent.

After a while, it spoke again: 「 The Corruption Sequence has remembered you, from today onwards, you shall become the common enemy of Corruption. One day, a corrupted being will eventually kill you and subject you to eternal suffering, never to be graced by salvation 」

「 Where there are living beings, there exists Corruption 」

「 ------You cannot stop the grand tide of history! 」

After declaring that, the Tree of Holy Wishes slowly faded into the void of space.

It had left.

This time, Gu Qing Shan fell into silence.

Where there are living beings… there exists Corruption…

I've eliminated all corrupted beings in this world, but there are still countless normal people here.

After I leave, if those people want to walk the path of corruption, what would happen?

Perhaps the Corruption Sequence had left some sort of preparation?

Gu Qing Shan hovered in the sky and slowly became lost in his thoughts.

"This world… is still a low-level Magic-type civilization…"

He mused.

--------the most advanced spell in this entire world is Frost Storm.

Frost Storm's area of effect is approximately 500 meter-squared, which can only be considered an intermediate spell within a developing Magic-type civilization.

If a normal person decided to pledge themselves to the Corruption Sequence, there's a possibility that they would obtain a spell or technique that surpasses this spell.

It's still quite tempting.

At the very end, that tree said-------

…

「 You cannot stop the grand tide of history 」

…

History.

Grand tide.

Gu Qing Shan pondered for a while before he suddenly thought of something.

His expression slowly became serious.

"No wonder the Samsara wanted me to deal with this world's troubles"

"If things really are the way I think they are… then the Corruption Sequence… is much more frightening than other enemies"

The flames on the ground gradually ceased as the scorched earth slowly solidified once again under the frigid wind.

The magical powers supporting that [Fireball] earlier had disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly turned in a certain direction.

Only to see a group of people dressed in wizard robes cautiously flying towards him.

"You are---- the Divine Wizard, Gourde?" an elderly wizard asked.

"I am" Gu Qing Shan admitted, then asked: "You are?"

"We are the court wizards from various big kingdoms. Originally, we were supposed to act as ambassadors to participate in the ceremony; but we didn't expect the Church to reject entry for all of us, so we were preparing to head back. To our surprise, not too long after we left, such a huge explosion occurred on the grounds of the Sanctuary------ so we gathered together and hurriedly returned to observe what exactly happened here"

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

-------so they were the Combatants representing the various forces of this land.

Most likely, they were the only Combatants within the ambassador groups capable of flight who could quickly arrive to examine the situation.

"Wizard Gourde, what happened here?" a middle-aged wizard asked.

"As you can see, every last trace of the Divine Church has been destroyed" Gu Qing Shan replied.

Everyone looked around their surroundings.

A thoroughly ravaged land.

Fire magic had completely erased all the structures that once stood here.

Aside from the Divine Wizard Gourde, everyone was dead.

The leader wizard sighed: "Such immensely powerful magic, just what kind of character could have unleashed such force?"

Gu Qing Shan explained: "It was a terrifying evil being, he called himself the Devil King of Huang Quan who climbed out of hell to destroy all that is divine"

The Devil King of Huang Quan?

-------we've never heard of such an evil being before.

All the wizards were stunned.

Gu Qing Shan rubbed his hands regretfully: "I fought and managed to kill him------ but before dying, he was unable to accept this result and gathered all of his power to unleash a [Fireball], which destroyed the entire Sanctuary"

The wizards took another look at the scorched earth.

"A… [Fireball]? Wizard Gourde, are you sure you aren't joking?" the leader wizard was unconvinced.

"Indeed, perhaps you all haven't had a chance to directly sense that kind of power-----"

Gu Qing Shan raised his hand and chanted: "Law of Ice, manifest!"

A frigid full moon suddenly appeared far above his head.

"My god…!" one of the wizards exclaimed.

All the wizards hurriedly put up their magic shields, but none of the shields managed to even ward against the icy cold from above.

White frost rapidly climbed up their robes, hair, staves, and even their eyebrows.

"Quickly dispel your magic! Gourde, your excellency!"

The leader wizard shouted in a panic.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively.
