Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1758: Mutual probing!

A line of bloody red text appeared in the void of space:

[In three minutes, an unknown Apocalypse will descend]

The giant silently read these words and turned around to look behind himself.

Only to see the Immortal City giving off an even more radiant colorful glow, countless heavenly beings were busy running around inside the city, seemingly in preparation for the Apocalypse.

The Heavenly Emperor’s voice reverberated from the distance:

「 Gu Qing Shan, the Apocalypse is coming, what do you say we deal with the Apocalypse first before resolving our differences? 」

The giant silently listened and finally answered: 「 I agree 」

He took out a large axe from the void of space and began to swing it towards the void of space behind himself.

A silent dark shadow had just appeared there.

The shadow rapidly expanded in an attempt to rush towards the giant, but it was stopped by numerous bolts of lightning.

The lightning bolts coiled around one another, forming a transparent wall of lightning.

——-[Domain of the Tribulation Lord]!

This was a mythical skill of relatively high level among the Samsara Divine Skills.

The giant was capable of using the Laws of Heaven Tribulation to construct a wall of lightning capable of blocking everything outside.

Only an attack that was 20 times stronger than the giant himself would be able to forcibly destroy this wall of lightning and destroy it!

As soon as the wall of lightning manifested, the shadow’s attack was stopped.

Then came the giant’s axe——-

Crimson lightning arced from the blade of the axe, crackling thunderously as it struck the shadow.

The shadow only managed to let out a curt shriek before instantly turning into smoke.

Complete silence.

The giant lifted the axe on his shoulder and displayed a look of absolute mockery.

「 You got so used to being a wraith that even after you crawled your way up to the position of Heavenly Emperor, you still don’t know how to be a person, do you? 」the giant asked with a booming voice.

A solemn voice answered from the Immortal City: 「 …The Samsara is watching us, and my attack was merely to probe you and see if you are qualified to fend off the Apocalypse with me 」

「 Congratulations, Gu Qing Shan, you are now qualified to face the Apocalypse by my side 」

The giant silently listened and appeared impressed.

Regardless of who they were, being shameless to this degree means they were already a cut above the rest.

At this point, a booming echo could be heard emerging from the far side of the horizon.

——the mass of darkness was creeping towards the giant and the Immortal City.

Wherever the darkness passed, everything on the ground was devoured by it with a series of creaking noises before vanishing without a trace.

——-so then, this is a devouring-type Apocalypse?

The giant’s expression became stern and spoke to the Immortal City: 「 This Apocalypse isn’t easy to deal with, let’s cease our fighting and eliminate this Apocalypse first 」

「 Very well 」the Heavenly Emperor answered.

The giant nodded and stretched his body——-

Arcs of lightning emerged from his body before being condensed on top of the giant axe.

With a resounding howl, the giant raised the axe up high and threw it towards the shroud of darkness with all his strength!

The axe spun outward like a glittering blade that slashed through the air.

——it then drew a perfect arc and began to fly straight towards the Immortal City!

Everything happened in a mere split second, but right as the lightning axe was about to strike the Immortal City, a ferocious wraithy hand appeared out of thin air.

The wraithy hand wielded a shield that perfectly protected the Immortal City.

Bam!!!

The lightning axe struck the shield with a thunderous impact that rocked heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Emperor angrily shouted: 「 You despicable bastard—— 」

The giant waved his hand.

The lightning axe swiftly returned to him.

The giant clicked his tongue and nodded: 「 …The Samsara is watching us, and my attack was merely to probe you and see if you are qualified to fend off the Apocalypse with me 」

Boom!

Countless bolts of lightning emerged from his body.

He grew into an even greater giant whose body constantly emanated countless bolts of ferocious lightning that stood firmly on the ground.

The giant began to speed up.

Ignoring the creeping darkness behind him, he started to rush towards the Immortal City.

Suddenly, lines of bloody red text appeared in front of the giant’s vision:

[Attention!]

[The Heavenly Emperor has used the Pendant of Fire]

[The ‘Effect’ of Miracle has manifested]

[Once you attack the Immortal City, you will receive the undivided attention of the Apocalypse, unable to escape from it until you die]

[This is an unstoppable power, a peerless Law of the void!]

The giant’s eyes flickered briefly.

So the Pendant of Fire was this powerful.

If I didn’t have the Supreme Sequence’s advice, I would have fallen for the Heavenly Emperor’s traps several times.

The giant felt a bit irritated.

If this keeps happening again and again——-

Wouldn’t that mean I wouldn’t be able to fight the Heavenly Emperor at all?

“Sequence, is there no way to counteract the Pendant of Fire?”

The giant complained.

He didn’t actually hope for a solution, but unexpectedly, the Supreme Sequence answered him:

[You currently possess only one unique power that can resist the power of Miracle, but not completely dismiss it]

[You can only make yourself temporarily unaffected by the power of Miracle]

[That power is the Living Being Sacrificial Dance]

[——While you are dancing, you will be temporarily exempted from the influence of Miracles]

The giant quickly skimmed through and felt annoyed again.

If I want to destroy that Immortal City, I would need to use the axe to hack and slash it to bits.

——-but the Living Being Sacrificial Dance is a very strict dance, every single movement has meaning behind it, so I definitely wouldn’t be able to dance while also using the axe.

If I dance, I wouldn’t be able to hack at it.

At this point, he was already in front of the Immortal City, almost colliding with it——

But the Immortal City was still only giving off layers of defensive heavenly lights, seemingly making the preparations for crashing with him, but didn’t attempt any sort of attacks.

Once the giant crashed into it, the power of Miracle would take effect!

「 What a scoundrel! 」

The giant silently cursed.

Since he couldn’t stop his charge anymore at this point, he decided to lower his posture and simply slid by the Immortal City.

The ground was unable to endure the giant’s slide, which caused a thunderous impact.

Dust and dirt filled the air.

「 What? So you don’t even have the courage to attack me? 」

The Heavenly Emperor’s mocking voice echoed from the Immortal City.

The giant slowly stood back up from a few hundred meters away, staring closely at the Immortal City with a solemn gaze.

——–up until now, the Heavenly Emperor has only attempted ambushes and tried invoking a miracle with the Pendant of Fire.

The Heavenly Emperor hasn’t unleashed his Samsara Divine Skill.

And the Immortal City hasn’t shown what it’s truly capable of.

—–the Heavenly Emperor is truly maliciously sly, having no intentions of revealing his true capabilities to me!

The shroud of shadow at the horizon was still rapidly creeping at an increasingly fast pace.

It was traversing large distances, quickly approaching both the Immortal City and the giant.

The giant glanced at the Apocalypse, then at the Immortal City.

「 Come, let us discern one another’s true strength 」the Heavenly Emperor laughed.

The giant coldly scoffed and shouted: 「 I’ll admit that you’re impressive! 」

He turned around, no longer looking at the Apocalypse and Immortal City behind him.

Then started to run——–

Thump thump thump thump!

The giant moved his legs with all his power, rapidly heading in the opposite direction of the Apocalypse.

He was literally as fast as a bolt of lightning, traversing the extreme distance in a short span of time and disappearing into the far horizon.

The giant had run away!

The Immortal City remained completely still for a long while, almost as if they hadn’t processed what just happened.

Eventually, another voice spoke up: “Your Majesty… what should we…”

The Heavenly Emperor remained silent for a bit before answering: “We most likely won’t be able to catch up, but it’s no matter. We’re going to run as well”

“What about the Apocalypse?”

“We’ve been fighting for a while already, not only was the previous battle very tough, we even had to deal with an interfering Deity of [Chaos]. What we need to do now is to temporarily distance ourselves from the Apocalypse and seize that time to reorganize. Once we’ve regained our footing, we will attempt to deal with this second Apocalypse”

“Wise is his Majesty!”

The Immortal City began to move.

It determined its heading and immediately began to try and escape from the shroud of shadow.

Right at this moment, a flash of lightning could be seen at the horizon.

The lightning was rapidly approaching the Immortal City.

It was the giant!

With every step he took, he moved an extremely far distance and quickly arrived in front of the Immortal City again.

「 ——didn’t you run away? Are you trying to surrender by coming back? 」the Heavenly Emperor mockingly spoke.

「 I simply wanted to see what choice you’d make 」the giant spoke with a thunderous voice.

He raised his hand——-

Overwhelming lightning power emerged from the palm of his hand, which then formed a great wall of lightning that connected heaven and earth.

[Domain of the Tribulation Lord]!

——a legendary ability!

The Immortal City was immediately halted, unable to escape from the Apocalypse.

The shadowy Apocalypse continued to silently approach it.

「 Damned brat, you think you can just sit on the sidelines and benefit! 」

The Heavenly Emperor angrily shouted.

An unfamiliar fluctuation began to radiate through the void of space to envelop the giant.

On the other hand, the giant wasn’t panicked at all, in fact, he was smiling eerily.

——-the Heavenly Emperor’s mistake lay in the fact that he schemed and plotted too much without taking any decisive moves.

[Domain of the Tribulation Lord] was an obstructive Samsara Divine Skill, so it was not considered an attack on the Immortal City.

For that reason, the previous miracle established by the Heavenly Emperor wouldn’t be able to trigger.

And now, even if the Heavenly Emperor attempted to establish another miracle to trap the giant, it would already be too late.

After all, the Living Being Sacrificial Dance could grant temporary immunity to the power of Miracles!

Just like… this…

Standing in the barren wasteland, the giant suddenly began to shift his body to take an extremely amorous dance posture.

Lines of bloody red text appeared in the void of space:

[You’ve triggered the Living Being Sacrificial Dance]

[While you are dancing, you are temporarily immune to the power of Miracles]

His stance was firm.

At that moment, heaven and earth were empty.

Suddenly, the sound of merry music could be heard.

Dum tsh dum tsh, dum tsh dum tsh~

Yaaaaaahhh!

The giant pursed his lips and stylishly pointed his finger into the sky.

Instantly, from the gloomy grey sky, two glittering balls of lightning manifested.

Blue light began to flash erratically throughout the dim world, gradually riling up the atmosphere!

The giant began to bob his head to the rhythm.

More bloody red text popped out in front of his vision.

[You’re immune to the power of Miracles!]

[This immunity will persist until the Dance is over!]

The giant curtly glanced through the messages before turning his gaze to the opposition.

——-the Immortal City was still being trapped inside the [Domain of the Tribulation Lord], which was now just a few inches away from the shroud of shadow.

The battle was now inevitable!
