As soon as the gunshot rang out, Gu Qing Shan abruptly turned around.
Only to see that the silver metal soldier had just manifested from nothingness.
It pulled the trigger.
A blinding flash of light appeared in the void of space.
Ten thousand miles away.
The Lord of Desolation's head suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only its lonely body.
Thud — —
Its gigantic body heavily fell to the ground.
The 7-colored spear that went on a rampage also fell to the ground.
All the Desolate monsters froze.
Their king died just like that, so they didn't know what to do.
But the metal insects didn't care about that. They just wanted to devour the Lord of Desolation's body.
All of a sudden, the 7-colored spear leapt up from the ground and hovered in the air.
Countless dazzling spear phantoms shot out from the 7-colored spear in every direction.
Be it the Desolate monsters or the mutating metal insects, none of them were able to resist the spear's attack.
The 7-colored spear began to attack without differentiating between friend and foe. It was even more powerful than when the Lord of Desolation was wielding it.
An inconceivable thing happened.
All of a sudden, the Lord of Desolation's corpse stood up from the ground.
— — -even though it had lost its head, the corpse could still move.
The headless corpse stood up and walked towards the hovering 7-colored spear.
Ten thousand miles away. Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows twitched.
Watching this eerie scene, Gu Qing Shan felt an indescribable sensation.
A frigid, suffocating chill suddenly descended on his body, causing him to tense up.
Gu Qing Shan felt like he was standing at the border of life and death, about to fall into the endless abyss of despair at any moment.
No, this was a danger that was even more terrifying than death itself!
This feeling was so familiar that Gu Qing Shan immediately recalled something that happened before.
The monster that almost appeared in the Huang Quan realm.
The monster that won against the entire Spire Society.
It was an invincible existence!
On the screen, the headless corpse was walking towards the 7-colored spear, reaching its hand out to grab it.
This isn't right!
Gu Qing Shan's pupils shrunk. She didn't even have time to think and shouted, "Don't let it hold that spear!"
"Understood!" the black metal soldier said.
Boom!
On the battlefield, all the metal insects swarmed forward like a tidal wave to stop the Lord of Desolation.
— — -this wasn't the Lord of Desolation, but its headless corpse.
The metal insects attacked with all their strength, gnawing at the corpse, but the corpse was perfectly fine, not suffering any damage at all.
The headless corpse was battered by the endless swarm of insects, but it managed to stand firm and approach the seven-colored spear step by step.
It was about to grasp the spear!
"Snipe — —" Gu Qing Shan ordered.
Bang!
The muffled sound of a sniper rifle rang in his ears.
A fist-sized hole appeared on the Lord of Desolation's body.
As the gunshots rang out one after another, the Lord of Desolation's body finally froze in place, unable to approach the seven-colored spear.
Gu Qing Shan let out a sigh of relief.
However, the situation changed abruptly.
The 7-colored spear that was hovering in the air suddenly trembled and automatically flew into the headless corpse's hand.
The headless corpse held the 7-colored spear high up.
Together with the spear, it gave off a sky-piercing waterfall of light.
The boundless swarm of steel insects let out violent wails and retreated in all directions, not daring to approach that blazing radiance at all.
Some sort of indescribable change was occurring.
"System, tell me, what exactly is this thing?" Gu Qing Shan loudly asked.
But the War God System remained silent and didn't answer.
It seemed to be silently observing her.
Time quickly and slowly passed.
All of a sudden, the sky-piercing waterfall of light disappeared.
A malicious female voice resounded from the Lord of Desolation's corpse at the center of the battlefield:
「 Soul food watched over by the Old Gods, you are wonderful existences that should never have any connection with the detestable [Order] 」
Following that, a male voice resounded from the Lord of Desolation's corpse:
「 Humans! You pitiful insects should not be obsessed with life, you are only vessels for souls 」
Boom!!!
A chilling and intense chill began to spread from the headless corpse.
Both the male and female voices chanted at the same time: 「 Souls! Offer your souls to me, argh — — — — — 」
With a shrill scream, a large number of metal insects fell to the ground like a storm.
Faint, sporadic sprites of light appeared from the metal insects' bodies and flew towards the headless corpse.
「 And you! 」
The male and female voices resounded at the same time.
The Desolate monsters fell to the ground one after another. Their souls came out from their bodies and flew towards the headless corpse.
On both sides of the war, both humanity and the Desolate race began to die in large numbers.
The screams of countless souls resounded across the battlefield.
This was a sharp, agonizing, and painful invisible sound that made anyone who heard it feel the endless pain they were experiencing.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan finally understood.
This wasn't the so-called Lord of Desolation.
It turns out that the eerie God of God Institute had already appeared in the Age of Old.
It impersonated the Lord of Desolation — — or rather, it hid inside the Lord of Desolation's body, controlling the Lord of Desolation to control both humanity and the Divinities!
[Ting] — — -
The War God System's voice suddenly resounded: [The worst-case scenario has still happened, Gu Qing Shan, run!]
It spoke very quickly: [Water God, you must transform back — — return to your War System state and turn into a Card for me to take away, otherwise you will definitely die here]
[Understood] Water God's voice resounded.
"Where are we going?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Leave this place as soon as possible and return to the Strife Zones!] the War God System replied.
Gu Qing Shan immediately said: "No, Water God, send us to another subsystem world"
[You're crazy! This distance is too close, it could catch up to you at any moment, you'll die in its hands and never be able to start again] the War God System replied.
"We have to go take a look" Gu Qing Shan quickly spoke: "I bet that Xie Gu Hong's group will still be safe and sound, because Xie Gu Hong's group isn't a match for this monster, but according to history, Xie Gu Hong still managed to return unscathed"
He abruptly shouted: "Do you understand? This means that something must have happened to them, something that we don't know about, and it must be related to the Heaven sword! "
The Warrior System replied: [But — — -]
Gu Qing Shan cut it off: "Trust me, I guarantee that I won't die in that world"
[… Very well, Water God, leave these two soldiers here to stall for time, we're going to the Cultivation-type world first!] the System replied.
Water God replied: [Understood, let's go!]
She turned into a Card and landed in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Layers of light descended and enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan turned into a streak of light and disappeared from this subsystem world.
On top of the metal mountain, the two soldiers were still attacking with everything they had.
They were responsible for stalling this monster to buy as much time as possible for Gu Qing Shan.
