Up ahead.
The village had been completely erased from the surface of the earth.
Gu Qing Shan sheathed his sword and stood still.
According to the known information, a Sealed-class Apocalypse had broken out in the Gloom Galaxy, a large number of combatants had now been stationed in the various worlds of this galaxy, preparing to either destroy or seal this Apocalypse.
He took out his ID card and lightly pressed it.
A flash of light emerged from the ID card and manifested into text in the air:
[Hitman codenamed 'Dragon King of Atrocity Jail', your mission is to search the Gloom Forest World and kill the monsters inside if you encounter an Apocalypse]
[This is a free-for-all mission, please do your best to kill the monsters]
That doesn't sound too hard.
But if I want to rely on this mission to increase my rank, I'll need to perform well.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought, raised his hand, and clenched it.
— — [Blessings of the Past Worlds]!
This was the acknowledgement he received, as well as his method of communicating with the world.
With this method, the world should be able to sense him, communicate with him, and fight against the Apocalypse together with him!
Gu Qing Shan silently waited.
A few moments later.
No supernatural phenomena occurred, nor did he hear any whispers.
While Gu Qing Shan was feeling surprised, his expression abruptly changed.
A surge of surging yellow sand rose from the ground in front of them, riding the strong winds and forming a crazy sandstorm.
In the blink of an eye, the intense wind had arrived and completely enveloped him.
Layers upon layers of sand obscured the sky, causing Gu Qing Shan to feel his surroundings turning dark.
— — what exactly is going on?
I was clearly trying to summon the world spirit, so why did this Apocalypse come instead of the world spirit?
He stood in the middle of the sandstorm, wielding his sword without moving.
A second later, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[The UI has not sensed the existence of the world spirit]
[Concluded: The world spirit has perished]
[Following this, each of your summons will trigger the Apocalypse's attack]
[The end of the sandstorm has sensed you]
[The second destruction has begun]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then felt a chill in his heart.
This isn't right.
According to the mission report, this was a large-scale Sealed Apocalypse.
A Sealed-class Apocalypse was an Apocalypse that living beings could resist, destroy, or seal away.
How could an Apocalypse of this level wipe out the will of the entire world?
Many worlds destroyed by the Apocalypse would still leave behind remnant wills.
— — -speaking of which, Gu Qing Shan had never seen an Apocalypse that could directly erase the will of a world.
It seemed like …
A shadow was quietly spreading in his heart.
But now, he had to get through this obstacle before him first.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, holding the twin swords Heaven and Earth with both hands, she stood in the middle of the sandstorm and waited quietly.
The next second.
Amidst the sandstorm, a portion of the sand gathered and turned into a fully-armored knight riding on a warhorse.
「 I have awakened from the depths of the Apocalypse, bringing a soul with me into a deep slumber of nothingness 」
The knight said blankly.
Gu Qing Shan held her sword without moving, quietly feeling the energy waves coming from her opponent's body.
Compared to the soldier from before, this knight's aura was several times stronger.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered a bit and asked: "Are you alive or dead?"
The knight pointed his sword at Gu Qing Shan and replied:
「 When the Apocalypse has stripped you of everything, you will realize that life and death are nothing but laughable lies, just like the defense you've been relying on 」
Following his explanation, Gu Qing Shan abruptly looked down.
Only to see that the Assassin leather armor she was wearing had instantly turned into a thin layer of sand that scattered with the wind.
What!!!
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
This leather armor was a high-grade Assassin armor, with its defense, she would be able to focus on killing in battle.
However, with just a single sentence from the other party, the leather armor turned into sand and disappeared.
— — -no, this level of power is definitely not a Sealed-class Apocalypse.
Gu Qing Shan's heart felt heavy.
In the void of space, a line of glowing text quickly scrolled past the War God UI:
[The end of the sandstorm has corroded one of your defensive equipment]
[Attention, you have lost your defensive equipment, the battle has begun!]
The knight spurred his horse forward and slowly sped up.
Almost in the blink of an eye, his charging speed had increased — — -
The knight wielded his sword and followed the horse's speed, turning into a blurred image as he charged straight at Gu Qing Shan!
It was too fast, I couldn't even see it clearly!
Gu Qing Shan's gaze became sharp, stepped forward, and raised her sword to meet the knight.
The knight was fast, but Gu Qing Shan's sword was faster!
The two swords clashed.
Kih!
With an ear-splitting noise, the Earth sword blocked the knight's sword.
"Retreat!"
With a shout, Gu Qing Shan sent both the man and his horse flying into the air.
Offense and defense had switched positions!
In that split second, Gu Qing Shan charged forward like a shadow, the Heaven sword in her other hand gave off a cold gleam.
The knight couldn't help but wield his sword with both hands to block Gu Qing Shan's first strike.
The two swords clashed again. Without waiting for the knight to react, a second strike that was even more powerful — — -
And a third strike.
While it took a long time to describe, the entire process happened in the blink of an eye.
All swordsmanship, all strategies, nothing could compare to the word 'fast'.
Each strike was faster and more powerful than the last. In the blink of an eye, three consecutive strikes had slashed the knight and his horse to the ground.
Boom!!!
The enemy crashed into the ground.
The horse neighed, turned into sandstorm, and disappeared without a trace.
The knight struggled to stand up, staring at Gu Qing Shan.
"What kind of swordsmanship was that?" he asked.
"Parrying swordsmanship, Heaven Interception" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Good swordsmanship" the knight praised.
"Of course it's a good swordsmanship, if you're willing to turn your back on the Apocalypse, I'll teach you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The knight fell silent.
His body was slowly peeled off into pieces of sand, falling into the wind.
"What exactly are you?" Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice.
The knight didn't answer him, only muttering in a low voice: "Life … how laughable"
He completely scattered into the sandstorm, disappearing from Gu Qing Shan's sight.
The sandstorm around Gu Qing Shan slowly stopped.
A line of glowing text appeared from the void of space:
[The Apocalypse's second attempt to destroy you has failed]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of Apocalypse is this?"
The War God UI replied: [Insufficient information, we only know that it's a sandstorm type Apocalypse, currently similar to Sandstorm's End]
[Currently? Please explain clearly]
[The Sandstorm's End is an Unsolvable Apocalypse, but it has the ability to grow, no one knows how far it will grow]
Unsolvable. Grow.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
This was different from Void City's assessment.
Perhaps because it had only just come into contact with this Apocalypse, it was still very easy to fight against, which was why Void City deemed it to be a 'Sealed' Apocalypse.
— — -in truth, an Apocalypse wasn't a Level 4 Apocalypse.
Because very few people knew about the Level 4 Unknowable Apocalypse, most people had never even seen one before.
Normally speaking, the three Levels of Apocalypse represented the majority of Apocalypses that had ever appeared.
Against a Sealed Apocalypse, people could still try to win against it.
Against an Unsolvable Apocalypse, the only thing they could do was to save as many lives and resources as possible, fighting while retreating to find a way to escape.
Unlivable Apocalypse …
In history, no one had ever survived such an Apocalypse.
This time, it was already an Unsolvable Apocalypse that had the ability to grow, this made one's heart tighten.
— — -and the will of this world had already been erased.
Gu Qing Shan's expression was grim as his thoughts churned.
All of a sudden, he noticed something and hurriedly took out his ID card.
A screen of light appeared from the ID card and turned into the latest information:
[Attention all mission participants:]
[The Gloom Galaxy's Apocalypse has been evaluated once again, confirmed to be Unsolvable from Sealed]
[All mission details have been changed, please click your ID card to view your mission]
Gu Qing Shan tapped his ID card.
Lines of quests had already appeared for him.
[Hitman codenamed 'Dragon King of Atrocity Jail', please hurry to Gloom Flame Village, approximately 26,000 kilometers north of here as soon as possible and participate in the village's defense]
Gu Qing Shan looked through it again and again, then put his ID card away.
His mood was a bit heavy.
— — the free combat mission had been changed to a village's defense.
The Apocalypse is growing too quickly, and there's too little information, so I still don't know how to deal with it.
Will it become an Unlivable Apocalypse?
Gu Qing Shan looked towards the North and stayed silent for a few moments.
Unsolvable.
It's impossible to do anything about it.
— — I wonder how many people would be able to survive this Unsolvable Apocalypse.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then took out a colorful rooster from his chest pocket.
