Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Lines after lines of information about the Quest appeared on the blood-red UI:

[Quest description: Considering the current situation, a need arises for the Demon Dragon's body]

[Quest objective: Collect the Demon Dragon's body]

[Quest reward: The Order will have completed a necessary step and begin advancing to the next stage]

Gu Qing Shan stared at the blood-red UI without moving.

A few moments later.

He loudly clapped his hand.

『 What would you like? 』a waiter came and asked him.

"Give me the strongest liquor you have here" Gu Qing Shan ordered.

『 Please wait a moment 』

A small shot glass that contained a beautiful carved tiny flower of ice was then put down in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The waiter explained: 『 This is the Flower of Vile Spirit, our bar's signature drink. Each customer may only drink a single shot, because any more would cause one to enter a berzerk drunken state that requires them to kill a total of 200 people to become sober again 』

Gu Qing Shan lifted the shot and put the small ice flower into his mouth.

The frigid cold ice instantly melted into boiling liquor.

The taste went from one extreme to another and caused an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"Very good liquor, keep the change"

Gu Qing Shan threw a few blood-colored Demon Originite on the table and swiftly left the bar.

He was heading towards the facility that handled teleportation.

Since Luo Bing Li had already left and I can't come to the Heaven realm right now…

I'll just make another trip to the Abyssal Jail.

A long journey later.

Gu Qing Shan once again arrived at the facility plunged in deep and silent darkness.

He looked up at the sky of dimly shining stars.

"I have a question" he said.

Following his words, the cold mechanical voice came again:

[Only human teenager to arrive in 100 million years, you can place your inquiry]

"I want to know all those years ago, did humanity ever create Soul Artifacts or items of similar nature in this Abyssal Jail?"

The voice remained silent briefly before answering him: [This is a facility to watch out for the monsters of the Eternal Abyss, as it was exceedingly boring and arid here, some people did in fact create some Soul Artifacts to spend the exceedingly long periods of time]

"Are there any blueprints?"

[There are not. Those were nothing but their own hobbies and interests, as they were unrelated to the jail's functions, the control system did not record their personal lives]

"One last question, you need 12 offensive Soul Artifacts to kill the Demon Dragon, so is there a minimum power requirement for these Soul Artifacts?"

[There is not, the 12 offensive Soul Artifacts are only there to act as a directive confirmation]

"Very well, I understand"

Gu Qing Shan stood below the dark sky and contemplated for a long time.

"Please bring me to where the Abyssal Fate Weaver is being held"

[As you wish]

The round disk carried Gu Qing Shan down into the darkness again.

After a long while.

Gu Qing Shan once again arrived in front of the large metal doors.

The doors heavily swung open.

The round disk continued flying forward.

It carefully avoided the white strands of thread and brought Gu Qing Shan to the deepest part of this cell room.

Standing in the middle of countless white threads, a colorful spider lower body with a beautiful pearly white female human upper body and a pair of jet black hands once again appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.

She remained motionless.

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took Adorable out.

The jade gourd pendant circled a few times around the Abyssal Fate Weaver's body with interest.

It then hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan and doubtfully asked:

Xiu?

(what is it?)

"A little experiment in preparation for future battles" Gu Qing Shan curtly answered.

Hearing that, the jade gourd became considerably more serious, landed on Gu Qing Shan's shoulder, and silently waited for his next move.

At this time, Gu Qing Shan consecutively drew several cards.

100,000 Soul Points, a Primary-level Demon Lord weapon Card.

100,000 Soul Points, another Primary-level Demon Lord weapon Card.

100,000 Soul Points, another Primary-level Demon Lord weapon Card.

"Hm, that should be enough"

Gu Qing Shan muttered and threw the three Black Cards out.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

With three consecutive sounds, the three gigantic weapons of war appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.

One Black Bones Warrior, one Metal Skeleton, one Rock Giant.

He didn't know what kind of corpses these monsters were patched together with, but the aura they gave off was enough to display their crucial use in a war.

"Your targets are those white threads that surround us, attack as you wish, go" Gu Qing Shan ordered.

The three Primary-level Demon Lord weapons turned around and attacked the nearest white threads around them.

The threads silently vibrated.

Black mist filled the air.

The spikes manifested in the blink of an eye and pierced through the three Demon Lords' bodies without giving any time for them to react.

All three Demon Lords crashed down.

When the Rock Giant fell down, it touched several more threads and summoned several more black hands.

Gu Qing Shan counted.

As he summoned three Demon Lords this time, only six hands were supposed to appear.

But since the Rock Giant stimulated more threads, over a dozen more black hands manifested.

The gigantic hands caught the three Demon Lords and restrained them so that they couldn't escape, then began to squeeze them.

Under the pressure of these hands, the three Demon Lords were soon crushed down into the size of sugar cubes.

The Abyssal Fate Weaver's face moved slightly.

Her healthily pinkish lips opened.

The three Demon Lords were sucked into her mouth, chewed, and swallowed.

Gu Qing Shan silently observed everything until it was all over.

"That's enough, please bring us out"

He told the round risk.

The round risk then led him back out.

When they left the cell room, Gu Qing Shan didn't forget to tell the round disk to close the metal doors.

He and Adorable were brought back into the darkness below the starry sky.

"Were there any issues?"

Gu Qing Shan asked.

The jade gourd pendant scoffed:

Xiu xiu xiu!

(Don't underestimate me!)

"Then does it count as you using it or me?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.

Wu wu?

(Does that matter?)

"It's very crucial" Gu Qing Shan replied.

Wu wu, xiu xiu xiu, xiu xiu xiuuu~

(You can choose so that I can release any ability I borrow, or you can release them yourself)

"Then I'll do it" Gu Qing Shan said.

Xiu, wu wu

(Alright, here)

Following Adorable's words, blood-red lines of text appeared in the void of space in front of Gu Qing Shan:

[Hundred Lanterns had been utilized]

[You've obtained a Unique Ability]

[Abyss Art: Spider's Thousands Hands]

[Description: The power of the Abyss gathers on all of your hands, you may use these hands to scout, to fight and to hunt]

Gu Qing Shan immediately felt an unprecedented power surpassing the limit of Space-Time and gathering on his body from an inexplicably faraway place.

Is this the power of the Abyss?

Gu Qing Shan silently thought as he unleashed this power.

Instantly.

The dim light of the stars above became brighter.

Countless black hands filled this entire space.

They remained motionless and waited in place.

Gu Qing Shan felt a wondrous sensation.

Apparently, he was able to control all of these black hands at once.

This sensation felt similar to controlling his flying swords, it worked differently but also had similarities.

"Scatter"

He sent his will to all the black hands.

The hands did as he ordered and scattered into the darkness all around him.

As these black hands scattered, more and more were summoned to replace them.

Gu Qing Shan continued to send wave after wave of black hands into the darkness.

As soon as they appeared, he could immediately send them towards a location within the Jail without any hands.

As time went by, the black hands had filled every place there was to fill in the entire Abyssal Jail.

Except where the Demon Dragon was.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan did something.

He manipulated the hands to touch every item and structure within the Abyssal Jail.

Every room.

Every corner.

Every item.

None of them managed to escape the black hands' touch.

A split second later.

The [War God Skills] icon in front of him began to glow.

[Simple bedding, this item does not contain any Skill]

[Grey seat, this item does not contain any Skill]

[Rectangular long dining table, this item does not contain any Skill]

[Circular jewel, this item does not contain any Skill]

[Washing basin, this item does not contain any Skill]

A long list of notifications scrolled across Gu Qing Shan's eyes.

He remained motionless as he indifferently stared at the notifications that crossed his eyes.

At a certain point, Gu Qing Shan abruptly shouted: "Stop!"

The notifications of [War God Skills] stopped moving.

A line of glowing text hovered right in front of his eyes, reflecting the words inside it.

[Soul Carving Knife Kit (damaged) – this item has performed the following Skills:]

[Chaotic Elemental Bombardment Plate construction process]

[This is the construction process of a simple defensive Soul Artifact]
