Let's rewind time a bit.
The mermaid swung her black trident towards the China king and devoured his flesh and soul.
Gu Qing Shan took the opportunity to cut off the mermaid's head.
He then asked Boss about the monster's origin.
Boss explained: "This is a type of spirit from the space vortex, an Occultism creature that can't be defended against — — - it can live inside the body of any entity, then turn their body and soul into weapons and armor by devouring their flesh and soul!"
"Does its ability have a set of rules? Or is it able to live inside someone else's body as long as it wants to? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss replied: "I don't know either!"
Everyone's hearts sank.
If that's the case, this monster is even more terrifying than the Void Deity they met in the forest of corpse pillars.
At this point — —
Gu Qing Shan seemed to have noticed something.
He took off the black cloth covering his face, opened his eyes, and glanced at the monster.
The monster disappeared.
At the same time, countless Soul Points manifested in Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
From the looks of it, he was activating something.
"Why did the monster disappear?"
Ye Fei Li asked in confusion.
Lola looked straight into Gu Qing Shan's eyes and nervously said: "Gu Qing Shan might have done something"
Jang Young-ho controlled his trembling body and tried to regain his calm.
Ye Fei Li and Lola didn't have much battle experience, so they weren't like him who could instinctively sense how dangerous the situation was just now.
Jang Young-ho took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "That's impossible, that monster gave me a feeling that it was completely unstoppable, Gu Qing Shan shouldn't have the strength to fight against it"
Lola shook her head: "You're wrong, sometimes, fighting has nothing to do with strength"
"Fighting has nothing to do with strength? Why don't I understand that? "Ye Fei Li was even more confused.
— — he had only just entered the 900 million World Layers, so there were a lot of things he didn't understand.
Boss waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop talking.
His expression was extremely heavy, and it revealed a rare solemn expression.
"Lola, bring out your strongest sealing treasure and seal this black trident," Boss said.
Lola looked at the black trident.
After the halberd lost its owner, it let out a faint wail.
"Okay," Lola said.
She took out set after set of sealing treasures and threw them directly at the black trident without thinking too much about what to do.
Hualalala —
Soon, all kinds of sealing treasures completely engulfed the black trident.
A mountain of treasures.
The trident was firmly pressed down and no longer made any sound.
Boss heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fei Li, give me a drink."
Ye Fei Li handed him a can of Soul Power Drink.
Boss drank it all in one gulp.
He threw the can away, took out the Book of Prophesized Destinies, and put his other hand on Gu Qing Shan's back.
"What are you doing?" Jang Young-ho asked.
Boss casually replied: "Perhaps your senses are a bit lacking, so you don't know what happened"
He exchanged glances with Jang Young-ho, then nodded at the same time.
Indeed, the two of them also felt the same thing as Gu Qing Shan just now.
Boss explained: "In that split second just now, death was just a hair's breadth away from fully descending upon us. At the very last moment, Gu Qing Shan took off the black cloth in front of his eyes and forcefully activated that technique of his"
Everyone turned to Gu Qing Shan. He was still standing still, his eyes silently staring at the void of space.
An invisible gust of wind drifted around his body.
Boss continued: "I can sense that Gu Qing Shan's technique hasn't been fully perfected yet, so he's still standing here — — this has become his greatest weakness — — in truth, once this technique is fully perfected, he will disappear together with the monster"
"In other words, we need to protect him right now?" Lola asked.
"Fortunately, there aren't any other monsters here, so we don't need to protect him this time"
While saying so, the Book of Prophesized Destinies in Boss's hand automatically flipped open to display a scene.
The figures of Gu Qing Shan and the monster appeared on the paper.
When everyone was watching, Gu Qing Shan had just sent the black trident flying.
"That can't be right, the black trident is clearly with us, why did he send it flying?" Jang Young-ho couldn't help but ask.
Lola glanced at the pile of treasures and confirmed: "That black trident is indeed still here"
Boss took a deep breath and muttered: "Perhaps he used a spell to intercept a Point of Fate, allowing the monster and his manifested body to travel to some sort of illusory dreamscape similar to a parallel world … that's so creative …"
Everyone continued to look at the Book of Prophesized Destinies.
On the screen, the monster unleashed strands of black fog that killed everyone.
No one was able to resist at all!
The only person left standing in the garden was Gu Qing Shan.
At this point, the scene completely disappeared.
Lola urged him: "Hurry, let us see what's going on"
"I can't" Boss shook his head, "that's a dreamscape that's similar to a parallel world, with my current power, I can only see so much"
"Is Gu Qing Shan in danger?" Lola worriedly asked.
"Don't worry, this is his technique, if he dies, this technique will collapse and he and the monster will return to where we are" Boss replied.
Everyone exchanged glances.
Ye Fei Li took out the Forgetting River Soul Flaying Hook.
Jang Young-ho began to draw Cards.
Lola was rummaging through her backpack.
— — -we need to make preparations!
Boss shook his head and sighed emotionally: "It's useless, that monster is too strong, and among the three of you, only Lola has any real understanding of battle, unfortunately, even Lola doesn't know about battles between Deities"
"Then please quickly tell us what a battle between Deities looks like" Ye Fei Li asked with an extremely serious tone.
Boss bent down and put his hand on the ground.
"A battle between mortals is indeed decided by strength."
While saying so, his expression appeared to be contemplating something, as if he was sensing something.
"But in the boundless space vortex, if you run into a Deity-like monster, you won't be able to immediately know what it's capable of"
"As soon as you run into each other, you might end up fighting — — - because it wants to eat you, and you want to survive"
"For that reason, a battle between Deities can only be decided by a single standard"
At this point, Boss's expression changed a bit, as if realizing something and appeared hesitant.
After a while, when Boss still didn't say anything, Jang Young-ho also couldn't help but ask:
"How exactly do you judge a battle?"
Boss glanced at him and replied: "Don't judge it by strength, judge it by who can survive"
Saying so, he closed his eyes and muttered: "Right now, I have no choice but to risk my life"
"Fortunately, this place is still a part of the Abyss, even though it was separated by the seven Deities, it still belongs to the Abyss"
"… Gu Qing Shan did a good job, there aren't any monsters here to disturb me, so I can do it …"
Boss rambled on and suddenly yelled, "You're dead!
"Descend!"
Boom!
The entire garden began to tremble intensely.
About 10 seconds later, the void of space abruptly broke apart.
The grass below everyone's feet, the fountain, the lush trees, as well as the entire garden all disappeared without a trace.
Everyone couldn't help but hover in the void of space.
"What happened?" Lola asked in surprise.
"It's nothing, I allowed the Abyss to sense this part of its body, so it summoned it back"
Boss reached his hand into the void of space and took out a cluster of resplendent blue light.
"The Abyss is currently being corroded by the parallel world Apocalypse, so for it to be able to summon a part of its body back would be a great relief to it"
"And so, the Abyss gave me this reward …"
Everyone turned to look at his hand.
— — -that cluster of blue light seemed to contain boundless mysteries, so much so that anyone who saw it couldn't help but be mesmerized by it, unable to look away.
As they looked carefully, they saw that this cluster of blue light was actually a small glowing insect with a pair of transparent wings as thin as a cicada's, a fat body that looked a bit cute.
The insect's body was giving off waves of blue light that grew brighter and brighter.
"How beautiful, what exactly is this?" Lola exclaimed.
"The Star Firefly, a Causality lifeform — — - it doesn't have any power, nor does it know how to fight"
"So, it's only function is to look good?" Ye Fei Li asked.
Boss couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't underestimate this firefly, it can forcefully choose any other lifeform to die with it through its own death"
"For it to activate this ability, there must be a Cause, and that is my death"
Boss flipped his hand and put the speck of starlight away.
"So you've already resolved to die in battle?" Jang Young-ho asked in a low voice.
"Of course, with our current strength, we can't win against that monster" Boss casually replied, "Rather than everyone dying, it's better for me to die alone"
Everyone stared at him in a daze, feeling touched in their hearts.
"Wu wu wu wu, boss, don't die."
Lola couldn't help but cry.
Jang Young-ho and Ye Fei Li were also a bit speechless.
Ye Fei Li's eyes were a bit red.
Jang Young-ho was clenching his fist tightly.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Boss felt a bit embarrassed.
Indeed, it's been a bit tough lately — — - when he was heavily wounded and his strength was completely gone, there were a lot of things he couldn't do.
But this time, the monster was led away by Gu Qing Shan, so I spent over a dozen seconds to summon the will of the Abyss and obtained the Star Firefly.
— — -with this thing, I've gained a bit more confidence.
So I'll have to say something.
Boss cleared his throat and explained to the three of them: "About that — — my death is different from what you're thinking — — if I die, make sure to take care of my corpse, I'll be revived by the power of the Abyss after a while"
"What!?"
Lola, Jang Young-ho, and Ye Fei Li all exclaimed in shock.
They quickly thought of something.
That's right.
There can only be a single entity that can revive after death through hibernation.
An Abyssal monster.
Could it be, Boss is an Abyssal monster?
As soon as this thought popped up, the three of them were shocked.
They began to panic.
"I-I-I-I can't tell if he's bragging or not this time," Laura mustered up her courage and stammered, "b-b-b-b-boss, w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-
"Wait a minute, Lola, didn't you and Gu Qing Shan save him together? You don't even know his true identity? "Jang Young-ho was a bit annoyed.
"That's true, but I-I-I-I always thought he was a person with a tragic past — — -" Lola pitifully said.
Ye Fei Li waved her hand dismissively: "No matter what, he still stood up for us, so there's no need to care about his identity"
"Fool, we just want to know the truth!"
Lola and Jang Young-ho spoke at the same time.
Seeing their reactions, Boss sighed: "And here I thought that aside from Gu Qing Shan, the rest of you also noticed, but it seems I was overthinking"
"Actually — — - to be honest — — -"
"I'm the King of the Abyss"
