Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Mountain peaks as red as blood.

The ground was littered with piles of white bones.

As soon as Gu Qing Shan appeared in the sky of this world, he was immediately discovered by the monster army.

These monsters had the same physique as humans, but they'd grown out three extra pairs of sharp claws and two long horns of nebula from their heads, which radiated a brilliant and eerie glow.

The monsters vocalized one after another as they began to sprint towards Gu Qing Shan's landing location.

"What are these things…"

Gu Qing Shan muttered under his breath.

He had met living beings of countless different races, but never before had he seen creatures made up of nebulae.

He hadn't even seen them being described in any records he had read either.

------records?

Gu Qing Shan casually took out the Book of the Sea and asked: "Can you take a look and tell me what these monsters are?"

The Book of the Sea replied: [You still owe me 3000 years' worth-------]

Before it even finished its words, a cold ray of light shot up from the ground with a resounding howl.

Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to take an evasive maneuver.

As he wanted to open the Book of the Sea again, the monsters on the ground had already started on their next barrage of attacks.

------more and more cold rays of light were being shot from the ground.

These rays of light appeared as light flares that filled the ground and sky, blocking every direction where he might be able to evade toward.

The sky itself had been lit up like it was daytime.

Gu Qing Shan no longer had time to gradually convince the Book of the Sea.

"Alright, guess I'll investigate them by myself first"

His figure flashed in the air before transforming into a black figure that eclipsed heaven.

Roar--------

The black dragon soared into the sky while spewing scorching flames towards the ground.

Shattering noises continuously rang out.

Most of the attacks had been stopped, only a few rays of light managed to escape the envelopment of the dragon flames and continued to shoot towards the sky.

The black dragon appeared a bit surprised.

These monsters are numerous, but they aren't particularly powerful at all.

While he was thinking that, the situation on the ground had changed.

Noticing that their attacks were useless, the monsters proceeded to gather together.

Their bodies then turned into pure glowing dust that melded and fused together into a single form.

The countless monsters condensed into a single giant mass of starlight before finally manifesting into a solid form.

Rooar?

The black dragon couldn't help but vocalize his surprise while hovering in the air.

The world was now empty.

All the monsters had vanished.

Except that there was now another dragon on the ground.

This dragon had the same exact physique and size as him, with the only difference being that it occasionally radiated starlight from its body, perfectly displaying its nobility.

-------it looked exactly like a starlight dragon!

The dragon coldly glared at the black dragon while lying motionlessly on the ground.

Even after it had fully manifested its form, countless nebula monsters were still moving towards it from all directions, continuously being absorbed into its body.

The presence it emanated gradually but intensely grew, swiftly surpassing that of the black dragon in the sky.

A line of bloody red text appeared:

[Attention, its strength has surpassed yours, and is still rapidly growing]

The black dragon really had no choice but to treat this battle seriously.

If he allowed that fake dragon to continue fusing, there would really be no way to fight this battle.

Roar-------

The black dragon vocalized a deafening roar before suddenly soaring downwards.

Seeing that, the starlight dragon responded with a look of contempt.

It took a deep breath and opened its maws------

And expelled a dragon's breath that enveloped the entire region above it.

Even the black dragon's giant form paled in comparison to this dragon breath!

The black dragon immediately ceased his descent and expelled a dragon breath as well.

The two breaths clashed.

And the black dragon's breath was instantly consumed.

-----he was no match at all!

Without hesitation, the black dragon instantly vanished from the sky.

Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!

He had changed places with the starlight dragon on the ground, landing with a huge thud.

The starlight dragon had now reappeared in the sky, bearing the full brunt of its own scorching dragon breath.

Boom!

The sky itself appeared to burn for several breaths' worth of time before the dragon breath finally subsided.

The black dragon turned to look at the sky.

Only to see that the other dragon's body had been charred black, its body riddled with wounds as it hovered in the air.

「 So this is your power? It is only this much after all 」

It spoke in a broken human language.

As the black dragon was about to say something in return, the starlight dragon had already vanished from the sky and landed on the ground with a huge thud at the very next instant.

The black dragon was stunned.

He realized that he was now back in the sky.

[Shadow Shift]!

The other party had instantly learnt dragon's breath, then immediately leant how to use [Shadow Shift] as well.

Does that mean it can learn something just by observing it a single time?

…Terrifying.

After observing the starlight dragon on the ground for a short while, the black dragon's vertical irises abruptly became filled with murderous intent.

「 I admit that you surpass my expectations. Never before in my life have I seen an entity like yourself, being able to learn my abilities by seeing it just once 」
