Words:2311Update:22/06/30 09:24:01
There was still an hour before the coronation ceremony.
The earth suddenly began to tremble.
Without any warning, the entire world began to collapse.
Powerful Professionists were able to sense the arrival of the Apocalypse. They all moved out to check on the changes in the world.
The royal palace.
While the Combatants' attention was drawn by the tremors, the royal palace was becoming colder and colder.
— — -the situation this time was quite unique. The old king was already dead, the new king was only 3 years old and had yet to inherit the throne, so the officials weren't in a hurry to enter the royal palace.
Because of that, when the Apocalypse arrived, there weren't many people in the royal palace.
At this point, in a relatively secluded corner of the royal palace.
In front of a certain tower.
A voice suddenly resounded from the void of space:
[Light of the Crown]
The door of the tower opened, allowing Gu Qing Shan's group to enter.
The group followed the stairs to the top of the tower.
This was a library that stored precious books from the previous generations of the royal family.
Everyone stood among the books and looked around.
"Where is it?" Lola asked.
"Let me see — — - there it is" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He walked up to a bookshelf and pointed at a thick book covered in dust.
"The kings don't trust me, but the two guardians have sworn loyalty to the royal family, so the guardians know where the previous kings are hiding" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"Don't they know that we're here?" Jang Young-ho asked.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "They're also afraid of being discovered by the monster and the four Gods, so they've temporarily concealed their presence and hid inside the book — — - only when the coronation ceremony is about to begin would they wake up and meet up with me"
"Is that so? No wonder I felt like this was some sort of Soul Artifact book to nurture souls "Ye Fei Li stared at the book and commented.
Lola carefully took out a certain item from her backpack.
— — -a small and transparent hourglass that contained sparkling pink sand.
"Let me"
Gu Qing Shan received the hourglass and put it on top of the Soul Artifact book.
Lola chanted an incantation:
"A brief moment of love, activate!"
A cloud of fine sand suddenly appeared and flowed into the Soul Vessel Book from the hourglass.
"Alright, this is a super rare Time Shackle Soul Artifact, it can slow down the flow of time within a three meter radius" Lola said.
"How long can it be delayed?" Boss asked.
"One hour in the real world is equivalent to two hours within its range" Lola commented.
"Two hours? Enough. "Gu Qing Shan said.
Two hours was long enough. By the time the kings woke up and prepared to kill the God of Life, the entire battle was already over, and it would be too late.
"Why do you have to deal with these kings like this? Can't we borrow their power? "Lola asked curiously.
Gu Qing Shan solemnly taught her: "Laura, you can try to think about it — — - they're a group of hundreds of cunning and astute people. For countless years, they've spent all of their efforts to set up countless traps in this world"
"Provoking these old fellows will be an arduous and unrewarding task."
"Let's take a step back, our goal is only to take the Card and successfully escape from this world"
Lola hesitantly asked: "But is it really enough to avoid these troubles?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "We aren't afraid of battle, but making things a bit simpler is also the correct way to deal with it"
— — -after this matter was dealt with, Gu Qing Shan herself felt a lot more relaxed.
The previous kings were the biggest uncertainty in this entire matter, as long as they can be excluded from the battle, the uncertainty of the battle would be much smaller.
Jang Young-ho praised: "That's how it should be. We have no grudges against them, there's no reward for killing them, there's no friendship for helping them, so it's best to avoid them if possible"
Lola slowly nodded.
"Then what do we do now?" Ye Fei Li asked.
"Xuan Ya's child is directly related to the God of Life's survival, but the God of Life has already left to save the world, so I'm guessing that the only ones she can trust are the four Gods" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Let's go" Boss said.
Lola opened her umbrella.
Everyone disappeared.
The entire tower returned to silence.
The hourglass and the Book of Soul Artifacts were hidden among the pile of books, so you wouldn't be able to find them unless you purposefully looked for them.
— — -this was the most secluded place in the entire palace, very few people would come here.
Not to mention, today was the day of the new king's coronation.
In other words — — -
The previous kings of the past had prepared for this day for countless years.
But when the day actually came, the kings were excluded by Gu Qing Shan in a simple and crude way.
They would all miss out on this battle.
…
Gu Qing Shan's group quickly moved through the palace.
A few moments later.
They stopped.
30 meters in front of them was the new king's coronation ceremony platform.
The gate of the palace behind the platform was already open, the three-year-old king was sitting there with a solemn expression on his face, allowing the maids next to him to dress him in his regal attire.
Seems like he's been through a lot these past few days.
Xuan Ya was so heartbroken that she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
"Don't worry, it'll be over soon" Gu Qing Shan lightly told her.
He exchanged glances with Boss.
The two of them let go of their umbrellas and appeared at the same time.
"Who are you!?"
"Hurry, hand over your weapons and surrender!"
The moment they appeared, a few palace knights immediately appeared and blocked their path.
The knights anxiously shouted.
"We … I think we're here to assassinate the king" Boss replied.
"Yes, to assassinate the king" Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He drew the Earth sword from the void of space and lightly swung it.
Single Strike realm!
[Sanctuary]!
Taiyi Sword Style!
This strike came without any warning. Everyone could only see the air warping as intense wind blew.
The wind was everywhere.
The knights didn't even have time to react before they were sent flying.
While they were still in the air, their weapons and armors were destroyed by the sword phantoms, their naked bodies carried away by the wind.
"Aaaargh — — -"
"What kind of swordsmanship is this!?"
"Impossible!"
Their panicked shouts slowly faded away along with the wind.
Gu Qing Shan sheathed her sword.
This strike's control over power was so precise that none of the knights suffered a single wound.
And this strike was so powerful that no one had any room to resist.
This strike alone was stronger than the thousands of strikes from before!
Seeing that, Boss begrudgingly let go of the black trident in his hand.
— — this trident was a powerful Divine Armament that came from the Occultism spirit, so it should've been able to shine during the confrontation just now.
Unfortunately, a casual swing of Gu Qing Shan's sword had already dealt with everything.
The two of them continued towards the king.
Suddenly, they stopped at the same time.
Four figures surrounded them.
「 Foolish mortals 」 the Wind God appeared.
「 You dared to commit murder in Calming Soul Country 」 the Earth God appeared.
「 Although the Godmother isn't here, it won't be too hard for us to take your lives 」 the Fire God declared.
「 You shall die here! 」 the Water God declared.
Four fake Gods appeared at once!
Boss nodded: "So they really were protecting the royal family, but …"
"But what?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Why do I feel like we're the bad guys here?" Boss doubtfully asked.
"We've always been the bad guys" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He raised his other hand that was hiding inside his sleeve.
One gold.
Three silver.
The Ring of Sovereign and the Ring of Protectors were on his finger.
The four rings gave off a resounding noise.
Gu Qing Shan shouted: "I am the holder of the kingdom's authority, the King of all Demis. Your souls contain the will to obey the royal authority, this is the rule set down by the Gods"
"I command you, all of you, kneel!"
The four rings gave off a blinding light.
