The surface of the ocean was completely calm.
Gu Qing Shan, Jang Young-ho, and Ye Fei Li stood on the boat for a long time.
Nothing happened.
Everything was normal on the lone island.
"Hey, what happened to the Apocalypse we were talking about?" Jang Young-ho opened his arms and called out to the lone island.
Nothing happened on the lone island.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then manifested a thin piece of ice crystal from the void of space and flicked it with her finger.
The ice crystal flew away in an instant, landing on the beach of the lone island.
It hit a rock that wasn't too big.
[Ting]!
Tiny cracks began to appear on the ice crystal.
The ice crystal shattered.
At the same time, the sound of something being crushed resounded from the lone island.
Crack crack crack crack — — -
The entire island abruptly shattered.
It didn't shatter into countless pieces like it did on impact, instead, it completely disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This disappearance happened so abruptly and quickly that a large whirlpool appeared on the surface of the ocean where the lone island disappeared.
Water flowed into the whirlpool, filling up the empty space left behind by the disappearance of the lone island.
The sound of water rippling could be heard from afar.
The two Crossing Fish were pulled back by the flowing water, unable to move forward even after a while.
It wasn't until the surface of the ocean returned to normal that the wooden boats started to move forward again.
"I've never seen such an Apocalypse before" Jang Young-ho spoke with a serious tone.
"Indeed, it was probably triggered by either impact or sound. The two objects that collided with each other were directly destroyed, then spread outwards, turning everything into dust" Ye Fei Li spoke with a troubled expression.
— — -he couldn't think of a way to dispel this Apocalypse.
Gu Qing Shan closed her eyes, sensing the shockwaves from the void of space and muttered: "This power is very powerful, capable of destroying an entire world in the blink of an eye. It's fortunate that it's confined to this lone island, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable"
"With your current strength, can you stop this Apocalypse?" Jang Young-ho asked.
Gu Qing Shan had fully fused the power of three dragons, so he mused: "If I use my full strength, I can probably stop one of these attacks, but if it's used consecutively, I won't be able to — — -"
He abruptly stopped.
Jang Young-ho and Ye Fei Li did not pursue the matter.
The three of them looked in the direction of the lone island.
An ethereal voice could be heard from the surface of the ocean.
A blurry shadow stood motionlessly at the island's original position.
It's singing.
- At the sound of its song, the sea receded around.
The lone island reappeared.
However, the island that appeared this time was alive.
It was like some kind of creature in disguise. After appearing from the void, it quietly crawled on the surface of the sea and stopped moving.
No matter how one looked at it, it was an isolated island, exactly the same as the isolated island from before.
The black shadow ignored the island and looked straight in the direction of Gu Qing Shan and the others.
It flew in the direction of the wooden boat.
Pa!
A thick layer of transparent barrier blocked it.
— It was the barrier of the isolated island from before!
Gu Qing Shan once transformed into a bird and tried to fly out; Raging Flame Walker also tried to do the same, but he was directly blasted back.
The black shadow tried for a long time and found that he couldn't get out, so he landed on the isolated island.
It continued to sing in a distant and gloomy voice.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan's group's boat was finally getting further away from the isolated island.
The boat finally went far away.
On the boat, none of the three of them said anything.
Jang Young-ho wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said: "That thing just now was too terrifying, just looking at it made me feel like I was going to die"
"Same" Gu Qing Shan calmly replied.
He casually formed a hand seal to blow the layer of cold sweat off his body.
Ye Fei Li suddenly asked: "What exactly was that?"
"Who knows, but do you remember the Game of Eternal? I'm guessing it's the same kind of entity as the host of the Game of Eternal "
"Then, the Apocalypse is being hosted by some kind of entity?" Ye Fei Li asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that being able to observe an Apocalypse at such a close distance is also one of the rewards [Chaos] gave us"
Jang Young-ho: "You mean — — -"
"That's right, under normal circumstances, who would be able to see the true face of an Apocalypse? Including the Game of Eternal, it's actually been weakened countless times over, so we haven't even seen what kind of entity is behind it "Gu Qing Shan said.
Jang Young-ho shrugged: "That's why we still don't know what kind of entity it is"
Gu Qing Shan said: "Let's wait, I'm guessing that the path [Chaos] prepared for us is going to be a tough one, perhaps we'll be able to find out some secrets later on"
Jang Young-ho clapped his hands and said: "Do you still remember the notification at the start? At least one Apocalypse will appear every hour, which means, we'll probably run into a lot more Apocalypses later on "
Suddenly, Ye Fei Li chimed in: "If this kind of power descends on our world …"
The three of them fell silent.
A few moments later, lines of grey text appeared in front of their eyes at the same time:
[Beyond the boundless void]
[No calamity or Apocalypse would be able to enter the Reality Gate]
[But a few scattered Apocalypses would occasionally be able to enter the void of our world]
[The Apocalypses that were killed had already disappeared, the Apocalypses that couldn't be killed were imprisoned in a hidden space, while the Apocalypses that couldn't be stopped are still committing atrocities]
[What you're seeing now is a type of Apocalypse, it is the Prisoner of [Chaos]]
Ye Fei Li opened her mouth wide in confusion: "Even Apocalypses can be imprisoned?"
Jang Young-ho thought even more deeply and muttered: "If [Chaos] is so powerful, how did it disappear for so many years, until the Soul Shrieker began to spread [Chaos], this doesn't make sense …"
— — Prisoner.
Gu Qing Shan kept repeating this word.
He felt like he'd heard the word 'Prisoner' somewhere before.
I think …
Lin once mentioned it.
But Lin also didn't know the secret of the Prisoner.
…
At another location.
The God of Life stood on the island, fully on guard.
It had been a few minutes since the Apocalypse descended.
But nothing happened at all.
She waited and waited until it was almost nightfall before she finally sighed in relief.
『It seems this is some sort of virus-type Apocalypse that targets mortals, or an Apocalypse that requires the presence of many people to trigger, a Deity like myself shouldn't be affected』
『That's true, the Apotheotic Combat had only just begun, so it wouldn't release too many Apocalypses at once, nor would it release an Apocalypse that's too powerful to test us』
She took one step.
This step was the turning point.
The entire island was suddenly filled with the sound of shattering.
Crack crack crack crack crack — — -
『Oh no!』
The God of Life's expression changed.
It released all of its black tentacles and wrapped them around its body, forming an airtight black defensive barrier.
As soon as she reacted, the entire island abruptly disappeared from the surface of the ocean.
Everything on the island was reduced to dust.
— — -only the God of Life remained.
『Aaaargh!』
The God of Life uttered a heart-wrenching scream.
Such an attack was so terrifying that even if she managed to react in time, she still suffered a certain amount of damage.
Large amounts of her black tentacles were bleeding profusely as they fell off her body.
But the God of Life couldn't care less about these tentacles.
Her expression was full of fear.
『That's right, this … is that thing!』
『Detestable Soul Shrieker …』
『— — -Prisoner! The prisoner is coming!』
The God of Life muttered incoherently.
All of a sudden, an indistinct song resounded in the sky.
The God of Life displayed a frenzied expression as she muttered: 『I want to live … I want to live, I don't want to die!』
She abruptly reached out with one hand and stabbed it straight into her chest.
A beating heart was clawed out by it.
Dong dong! Dong dong! Dong dong!
The heart gave off a heavy thumping sound.
The God of Life looked at this heart and hysterically screamed: 『Death God! Before you disappeared, you once promised me that you would use all of your divine power to manifest a heart and die in my place once!』
She crushed the heart.
Instantly, another God of Life appeared from the void of space.
『Ahahaha, I'm saved! Hurry! Teleport me back!』
The real God of Life laughed.
A flash of light descended from above, enveloped her, and instantly left this world.
Within the fog, the God of Life continued to move forward.
She had traveled through the endless years and boundless Space-Time to return to the place she was summoned from.
— — the battlefield between the Wraith realm and the Eternal Abyss.
Originally, she was leading the carriers of [Chaos] to fight against the Abyss.
『I'm saved … I'm saved … I'm finally alive』
The God of Life muttered in relief.
She looked around the battlefield.
Several powerful carriers of [Chaos] were still standing respectfully by her side.
『How long was I gone?』 the God of Life coldly asked.
『Your Excellency, you disappeared for about half an hour』 one carrier of [Chaos] replied.
『How was the battle?』
『It's almost over, the Abyss can't resist at all. The Wraith realm's forces have already reached the frontlines, our people didn't move because we didn't receive your orders』
『Hm』
The God of Life nodded.
Before she left, the Wraith realm and carriers of [Chaos] had already grasped the entire situation and would soon defeat the Abyss!
From the looks of it, the situation was developing exactly as everyone had expected.
— — -the Apotheotic Combat path was a path of certain death, with a prisoner appearing from the very beginning, there was no way anyone could win.
Unfortunately, both the Soul Shrieker and those who challenged it had lived for too long, so they didn't know what a prisoner was.
They would all die.
The only one who would survive would be themselves.
While the God of Life was feeling fortunate, two carriers of [Chaos] arrived in front of her and reported:
『True Deity, the Wraith Lord of the Wraith realm has come to visit』
『Ah, invite him here』
『Understood』
A few moments later, a resounding laughter resounded.
『Ahahaha, Deity of [Chaos], you are our loyal ally, you contributed greatly to the victory of the war』
The Wraith Lord brought several dozen subordinates with him to this side of the battlefield.
He raised his hand and tossed something over.
The God of Life received it and saw that it was a crystal that gave off a bright yellow light, filled with naturally-formed Divine Script.
This was a Divine Crystal!
Even in the Inner Plane of the past, this would have been a good item!
The God of Life felt glad and asked:
『Thank you, Wraith Lord, for your sudden visit, what is the matter?』
『It's like this, while we were attacking the Abyss, the Tomb of Myriad Beasts suddenly ambushed us, so I had no choice but to return to deal with their ambush』
『The Tomb of Myriad Beasts?』 the God of Life was surprised.
『One of the Samsara, powerful and not at all inferior to us』 the Wraith Lord replied.
The God of Life naturally understood, so she continued: 『Ah … you mean …』
『This place is basically fine, the Abyss only has a tiny bit of fighting force left, so I want you to lead your people to take charge of the upcoming battle, while I return to fight another battle』 the Wraith Lord said.
The God of Life released her telepathy to scan through almost every location on the battlefield.
The corpses of Abyssal monsters were everywhere.
The wraiths had already won.
Even on this side of the battlefield, the carriers of [Chaos] had already begun to rest.
This wasn't a big deal at all.
The God of Life stroked the Divine Crystal in her hand and thought for a bit: 『Very well, leave it to me』
The Wraith Lord clasped his fist: 『Thank you, after I kill all the invading beasts, I will reward you generously』
『Wraith Lord is too polite』 the God of Life smiled.
"Then I'll hand over my military authority," Wraith Lord said with a smile.
"No problem."
The Wraith Lord passed down the order.
On the battlefield, the wraiths silently retreated.
The God of Life commanded the carriers of [Chaos] to quickly take over the battlefield.
The Wraith Lord exchanged a few more words with the God of Life, then led the wraiths away.
The subordinates followed the Wraith Lord into the space vortex, released a kind of bone shuttle and sat on it.
The shuttle gradually sped up, heading in the opposite direction of the battlefield.
Once he was completely out of the God of Life's range of detection, the Wraith Lord couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Ghost Lord!"
His attendants immediately surrounded him.
The Wraith Lord wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice, "How far are we from the teleportation point?"
The attendant replied, "Reporting to my lord, there are still 13,000 miles left."
The Wraith Lord panted heavily: "Don't worry about anything else, we can accelerate right now — — full speed ahead, we need to escape from that place as soon as possible, hurry!"
"Yes!"
The bone shuttle emitted a layer of pale green light, and at the same time, an ear-piercing buzzing sound rang out.
It started to accelerate at full speed.
