A beam of light shot out from the cannon and quickly expanded to several times the size of the ship.
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
This isn't a cannonball, this is a peerless technique capable of destroying heaven and earth!
However, he always had a good way to deal with long-range attacks like this.
Instantly, Gu Qing Shan disappeared without a trace and reappeared in the distant sky.
What replaced him was the triangular metal ship.
— — Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
At this point, the beam of light had arrived.
Boom!
Struck by his own full-power attack, the triangular metal ship exploded into a shower of sparks in the sky.
A huge shockwave spread in every direction.
The entire world trembled.
"You didn't leave any survivors?" Boss asked.
"I think I've entered a sort of mediation mechanism … either I survive, or they die" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Boss thought for a bit, then said in relief: "I've seen scenes of Apocalyptic civilizations killing each other before, so I've always thought that was their nature, so it was actually a form of mediation?"
All of a sudden, a voice resounded in the Apocalyptic Common tongue:
[Individual: Shadow of Broken Bones]
[Type: Hitman, identity confirmed]
[You've survived this mediation]
[Please now select final battle mode or return mode]
Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, Boss had already cautiously said:
"Gu Qing Shan, quickly select final battle mode!"
Lines of glowing text also appeared on the War God UI: [Attention, our Soul Points had been almost completely used up during the Age of Immemorial, currently lacking Soul Points to truly descend into the Apocalypse's True Realm]
[You must immediately select final battle mode!]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised and was about to ask the War God UI for more details when numerous black pipes began to appear from the void of space around him.
An uncontrollable fear and fear erupted from the bottom of his heart, deeply enveloping Gu Qing Shan's instincts.
He regained his composure and told the void of space: "I choose final battle mode"
Following his declaration, the illusory pipes around him disappeared without a trace.
The voice continued, "All inanimate items have been collected and exchanged for one weapon elemental point. Your weapon will be strengthened by one point."
"In three minutes, you will receive a mission card."
"The mediation is complete. Goodbye."
The sound faded away.
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
The white bone machete in his hand let out a squeaking sound, and suddenly straightened out with a pop, turning into a pale white straight bone blade.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Your weapon has been buffed by the Apocalypse Element (weapon-type)]
"Your weapon has evolved and reached a new level."
"Weapon name: Azure Bone Blade."
[This weapon contains the Doomsday Curse: Marrow Drain]
"Effect: Absorbs 15% of the target's HP to heal your own injuries."
"It can only be activated once a day."
"Ignore defense."
Looking at this explanation, Gu Qing Shan was a little surprised.
No matter what, the fact that it could ignore defense immediately raised the level of this bone blade to a certain level.
— — -unfortunately, this is a blade, and an Apocalypse weapon at that.
Gu Qing Shan suppressed the regret in his heart and asked: "Boss, why did you want me to choose final battle mode just now?"
Boss replied: "I know a bit. Final battle mode means that you're currently fighting and can't return, any rewards will be directly given to you to increase your fighting strength"
"Then what about return mode?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"If you choose to return, we'll arrive at a completely incomprehensible place, unable to return even if we wanted to, it's extremely dangerous"
At this point, Boss's tone became a bit cautious:
"I'm not too sure either, but it's better for me to stay here"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "But just now, quite a few pipes appeared around me, exactly the same as when you were in the Age of Immemorial"
Boss sighed and replied: "Those were the frozen corpses' own pipes. I can borrow them, but I don't know what they are or where they lead to. However, I've always had a premonition — — as long as I use those pipes to go somewhere, the frozen corpses will immediately run into trouble, so I've always been cautious of this"
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
Boss's premonition was correct.
How could a place that even the War God UI doesn't dare to go to be easy to deal with?
In other words, in reality — —
"Boss, was the reason why the giant eyeball went out of control because you left at the time?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Boss went silent briefly, then replied: "At the time, we had traveled to the past to fight against the Soul Shrieker, and Reneedol took that opportunity to take over the Eternal Abyss"
"As the seal, I wasn't in that period of time, so the frozen corpse's eyeball was given the opportunity to gain self-awareness"
"I remember you saying that you resisted your fate as the Keeper of the Seal, then how are you related to the frozen corpse?"
Boss sighed, then explained after a while: "I became one with the corpse and became the corpse's new soul, while the corpse became my body. I used it to rule over the entire Space-Time, until the Reality Gate was fully opened and the Apocalypse defeated me"
So that's why!
As Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about it, her mind became heavy.
— — Reneedol had already calculated everything.
She took advantage of the moment when Boss left and when the seal was about to expire to release one of the frozen corpse's eyeballs.
— — no wonder the Wraith realm wanted to ally with the Era of [Chaos]!
The pitiful God of Life was erased on the spot by the giant eyeball, but Reneedol herself didn't have to pay a single price.
Indeed, in the war between [Order] and [Chaos], the living beings won in the end. But on another battlefield, Reneedol obtained what she wanted.
This was the other result of that war.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
If that's the case, Reneedol was actually taking advantage of Boss's absence to dig out Boss's eyeballs!
It wasn't until Boss followed me to the Age of Immemorial and witnessed everything that happened that he finally understood what happened between him and Reneedol.
"I finally understand, when I used to look at her with adoration, she had always wanted to kill me and take the frozen corpse as well as the Divine Armament of Fate" Boss muttered.
"… You must have suffered a lot over the years" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
All of a sudden, a Card descended from the void of space and was caught by Gu Qing Shan.
Crack!
The Card was shattered.
A cold and emotionless voice resounded:
[The Quest to capture a unique individual is currently underway]
[The unique individual closest to you is currently engaged in battle on the 67th world's surface in your Southeast direction]
[Immediately accept the Quest, head there to support and capture that individual]
[If you can't capture him, kill him]
The Card fragments turned into streaks of light that enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
Instantly, he disappeared from this world.
…
A bright green world.
Continuous sounds of explosions resounded in the sky.
A flash of light.
Gu Qing Shan appeared and looked up at the sky.
Only to see several hundred apocalyptic monsters surrounding a single human male, constantly attacking him.
The man was covered in blood, but he held a rapier in his hand as he continued to fight against the monsters.
Quite a few of the monsters were forced to retreat by him.
A gigantic monster spoke:
「 Surrender, if you continue to resist, the true Apocalypse Assassins will appear and take your life 」
The man spat out some blood and coldly scoffed: "I'd rather die than surrender, and your master won't be able to obtain any information from me 」
A heroic aura surged from his body.
"Come, if push comes to shove, I'll just give up my life and take you down with me!"
It seemed like he was planning to die together with them — — -
All of a sudden, a voice resounded in his mind:
[Crow, surrender to me]
The man froze.
A black figure quickly flew towards him, wielding a pale white bone blade in his hand.
"You — — -"
"It's me"
The black figure leapt through the monsters, raised the bone blade, and shouted: "Die, or surrender?"
The man scoffed and raised his head: "Of course I surrender"
