A few moments later.
Buttercup appeared in a spacious office.
"Tower Master"
"What a rare guest, Buttercup, why are you here?"
"Tower Master, I just remembered, it's been a long time since I last used my void points"
The Tower Master looked at Buttercup and nodded: "Ever since you bought the land and built a house in Void City, you've rarely used your points. From what I can see, you seem to be enjoying this kind of peaceful life"
"That's right, with your help, I've learned many things and grown quite a bit, but I'm not a person who has a high requirement for strength"
Saying so, Buttercup suddenly smiled at the Tower Master: "Even if something happens, you'll always stand in front of me"
The Tower Master indifferently replied: "Hm, you've wasted your talent in scrolls and rarely use the power of a True Demon — — - but I won't urge you like I did before. After all, you're a good teacher, and the children here all like you, that's a good thing"
Buttercup fell silent.
A while later.
The Tower Master helplessly said: "I've already gone along with your words for so long, so what exactly do you want?"
Buttercup replied: "I've accumulated enough points, so I want to take them all out and ask you to personally guide me for a while"
The Tower Master shook his head and replied: "Points are very precious, you don't need to use them like this — — I remember that there are various methods and food to strengthen yourself, as well as countless unique treasures that are suitable for you to use. With your position in the Tower, you can obtain them with a very low amount of points"
The Tower Master thought for a bit, then continued: "Buttercup, if you want to become stronger, you only need to use the resources of the Tower and slowly improve yourself step by step. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask everyone else — — - if you learn from me, you'll suffer a lot. You're currently living a comfortable life, there's no need for that"
Buttercup looked at the Tower Master and insisted:
"I still want to ask you to personally guide me, even if I have to spend all my void points, it doesn't matter, because … right now, I want to become one of the strongest ominous demons"
The Pagoda Master's eyelids twitched as he suddenly emitted a murderous aura. He said indifferently: "Come, tell me, which blind fool bullied you?"
"No." Buttercup smiled and said, "I really want to become stronger because there are some things that I can't always rely on you guys. I want to face them myself."
"… Alright then. Let me make it clear first. My requirements are very strict. You must give it your all."
"Yes."
…
One day later.
Assassin Guild.
In a rather spacious teleportation room, dozens of staff members were setting up teleportation energy crystals around the teleportation portal, checking the teleportation runes, and confirming the coordinates and corresponding intelligence.
Compared to the portal that Gu Qing Shan had seen before, this portal was much more spacious and could accommodate seven to eight people at the same time.
The twelve assassins had assembled.
Crow was wearing a set of tight-fitting black leather armor, standing in front of the warp gate, coldly scanning through everyone.
"The Starfire Clan's world was invaded by an Apocalyptic civilization."
"They're already on the verge of extinction, so they've issued several high-ranking missions to Void City"
"The Bounty Hunter Guild, Hitman Guild, Demoness, and Holy Splendor Church have all received missions, so if you run into people from other organizations, there's no need to be surprised or act"
Someone doubtfully said: "If the Holy Splendor Church and Demoness Guild are carrying out missions together, they'll most likely fight as soon as they appear"
Crow replied: "That won't happen, the Holy Splendor Church is responsible for the main battlefield, while the Demoness Guild is responsible for protecting the Starfire Clan's dignitaries, the two are unrelated"
Someone else asked: "Would the bounty hunters' mission overlap with ours?"
Crow explained: "The hunters' mission is to rescue all treasures and civilization's inheritances, while our mission is to infiltrate the depths of the Apocalyptic civilization and assassinate the leader of the apocalyptic monsters"
"Are there any other questions?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Suddenly, a voice asked:
"What is an Apocalyptic civilization?"
Crow's eyebrows twitched.
— — -we're about to act, who asked such a shallow question?
He followed the voice and saw that it was the Fear Fiend King.
A newcomer … that's understandable.
"An Apocalyptic civilization is a civilization that defected to the Apocalypse. This civilization was corrupted by a certain unique Apocalypse, causing all living beings inside to mutate into monsters. If they want to survive, they must constantly destroy other worlds, each world they destroy would allow them to survive for a bit longer" Crow patiently explained.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
Who would've thought that the Apocalypse would also borrow other forces to destroy other worlds.
— — -this was the first time he had heard of such an Apocalypse.
Suddenly, a staff member loudly declared: "One minute ago, the Holy Splendor Church's army had directly encountered the Apocalyptic civilization, the war has officially begun"
Another staff member added: "The assassins of the Apocalyptic civilization were discovered in the palace, they have been eliminated by the Demoness"
"The hunters are currently fighting against the monsters that are trying to steal resources"
The staff member continued to recite the various reports.
The 12 Hitmen didn't say anything and silently waited.
It wasn't yet time for them to enter the battlefield.
Under Crow's lead, the Hitmen waited for another half an hour.
Until a certain point — —
One of the staff members shouted: "The main battlefield has entered a stalemate, the main force of the Church's knights are about to enter the battlefield!"
Gu Qing Shan silently thought: "As soon as the main force of the knights enter the battlefield, the Apocalyptic civilization will surely be under a lot of pressure, it's probably time for the Hitmen to enter the battlefield"
Sure enough, another staff member excitedly said: "According to our investigation, the Apocalyptic monsters have already sent their strongest troops into the battlefield!"
Crow stretched his body a bit, stood up, and said: "It's our turn"
"Sir?"
"Hm, activate the warp gate"
"The portal is activating. Five seconds before the portal can begin."
"5,"
"4,"
"3,"
"2,"
"1!"
Bright rays of light converged on the warp gate, tearing open the void of space at the center of the gate.
The other side of the void of space was clearly visible.
— — -it was an azure ocean current.
Crow drew the rapier at his waist and pointed at the ocean on the other side:
"The Apocalyptic civilization's command ship is right above the ocean, right now is the time when their defenses are at their weakest. Everyone will enter the ship after teleporting there"
"— — remember, kill without mercy, the enemy's head will be your Hitman points"
"Understood!"
The Hitmen all replied.
Crow pointed at the ocean on the other side of the warp gate and shouted: "Everyone, enter!"
The 12 Hitmen entered in a single file.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared in the ocean.
Looking up, they could faintly see a deep black shadow above them.
— — -the black shadow was the Apocalyptic monsters' ship.
The Hitmen quickly swam towards the surface of the ocean.
They would take to the sky, then think of a way to infiltrate the ship and complete their assassination.
At the same time.
Below the ocean.
Only Crow and Gu Qing Shan remained here.
"Hey, didn't you want to advance to Unsolvable rank? Why are you still here? "Crow curiously asked.
"A small situation" Gu Qing Shan closed her eyes and replied.
From the void of space, there seemed to be countless hurried and despairing whispers telling her.
— — -destruction.
Destruction is coming!
Save me, someone please save me.
Gu Qing Shan opened her eyes.
This was the current world's request.
And the world's wish.
… Prayers?
Gu Qing Shan slowly raised her hand and lightly clenched it.
[Blessing of the Past Worlds]!
This blessing would be able to prove his identity.
— — -at least it would let the current world understand that he was a trustworthy person.
"I need your Prayers, lend them to me, I'll help you" Gu Qing Shan whispered.
The voice became even more anxious, even a hint of intimacy and pleading: 「 All — — for — — you — — "
A line of grey numbers appeared on the War God UI.
This number rapidly increased.
The pleading voices of billions of living beings seemed to be resounding in Gu Qing Shan's ears.
"How regretful that I'm still too young, I really want to grow up and kill those monsters to avenge my father!"
"The world is about to be destroyed, can those guys from Void City actually help us? God, if you exist, please help us! "
"Hurry, who's going to deal with those monsters, there are too many of them"
"Kill! Hurry! "
"— — kill them all!"
The numbers stopped.
Gu Qing Shan glanced through them.
He drew the Earth sword and muttered: "Just enough for me …"
Crow was confused and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, what are you doing?"
Before he even finished, Gu Qing Shan abruptly took a step forward.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The sound of the war drum resounded like thunder, resounding across the entire world like a thunderstorm.
The killing intent of the entire world was roused by the sound of this drum!
The Chao Yin sword flew out, circled around Gu Qing Shan once, and pointed at the seawater.
In an instant, all the seawater exploded, roaring as it shot into the sky, obscuring the light of the sun.
Roar!!!!!
Like an unparalleled giant creature, the ocean abruptly opened its mouth and roared.
Boundless seawater merged into one in the sky, forming two huge arms that grabbed the spaceship in the sky and pulled it down.
The ship was held in front of Gu Qing Shan by the giant oceanic arms.
It struggled intensely, but couldn't escape the restraints of the ocean.
— — -almost a miracle!
At this point, the Hitmen had only just leapt out of the water, still in the air and hadn't reached the ship yet.
Crow gripped the sword by his side, staring at Gu Qing Shan with an unprecedentedly serious gaze.
Gu Qing Shan reached her hand into the void of space, grabbing the Heaven sword — — -
Sacrificial Sword, [Sky Shatter]!
This was the first strike of the [Sacrificial Sword of Seven Swords]. Even the Era of [Chaos] was sent flying by this strike without leaving even a trace.
Not to mention the fact that it was only a single apocalyptic monster ship that was stopped in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The sword moved.
A beautiful arc-shaped sword shadow appeared.
The sky and sea shattered.
A deafening explosion resounded throughout the void of space.
The apocalyptic monster ship no longer struggled.
As if it was dead, it remained motionless in place.
A few moments later, a violent sea breeze blew past.
Everything was empty.
— — the ship was completely sliced into pieces, scattered by the wind into the ocean, no traces of its existence could be found.
As for the apocalyptic monsters inside the ship, there was no need to mention what happened to them.
The clouds in the sky were scattered. The ocean trembled.
Surrounded by seawater, Gu Qing Shan sheathed her sword and stood still.
"Alright, that's just enough"
He muttered.
The seawater slowly returned to normal.
Everything slowly returned to normal.
Crow looked at the other Hitmen standing still in the sky, then at Gu Qing Shan.
It was supposed to be a dangerous … large-scale joint mission …
He cleared his throat, then turned his arm to greet Gu Qing Shan:
