Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 926: Rescue!

Flame Mountain World.

Black and grey rocks of various sizes were strewn all over the ground.

Magma flowed without end.

Occasionally, a wave of black soot and dust would erupt with the volcanic explosions to cover a large area of land.

——-this was a world full of volcanoes, all of which were in a constant state of near-explosion, which gave the world its name.

Normally, no one would be willing to come to such a hazardous world.

But at this moment, every few breaths’ worth of time, the sky of this world would be cracked open, followed by the arrival of a powerful presence.

——-more and more people were arriving at this world, all of which were powerful Professionists.

The 7 Holy Churches had issued a Divine Revelation that declared that any person who caught the Blasphemer Gu Qing Shan would immediately receive the gift of apotheosis.

Other than that, there was something else——

A friend of the Blasphemer, a Hitman by the name of Zhang Ying Hao was also among the list of wanted people of the Church.

The one that killed him would receive the commendation of the 7 Holy Churches, at the same time obtaining authority and wealth that far surpasses that of other mortals.

The entirety of the 900 million World Layers had been madly looking for Gu Qing Shan, but he had yet to appear.

——-since he managed to escape the punishment of God, he must naturally possess unique abilities and strength of his own, making him a lot harder to find than people had thought, which made sense considering the bounty for him included apotheosis.

After a short while, no one managed to produce any results.

So they decided to turn their eyes towards Zhang Ying Hao.

Compared to Gu Qing Shan, this man left a lot more traces to be tracked, and was not completely impossible to find.

So more and more people started to pursue Zhang Ying Hao.

And finally, Zhang Ying Hao’s movements were exposed.

He was currently on this Fire Mountain World!

Everyone went insane.

As soon as they killed him, they would obtain an unprecedented reward from the 7 Holy Churches!

Combatants from all over swiftly flocked to this world to conduct a carpet-type search.

Currently, within a certain hidden cave in this world.

A small divine altar had just been erected.

The divine enforcers from the 7 Holy Churches knelt at the God’s statue and reported their findings to God.

“Benevolent God above, we are here to report”

“After the information was spread, more and more people had been flocking into this world, reaching a peak 9 hours ago”

“The number of Combatants are still increasing”

“As time went on, within the last half hour, the number of Combatants moving into Fire Mountain World has gradually reduced”

“Most likely, everyone that could come had already arrived”

After reporting, they silently waited for God’s next orders.

A few moments later.

A grey light appeared from the God’s statue.

This was a Divine feat, representing the fact that God had heeded the previous report.

The divine enforcers knelt lower.

They didn’t even dare to look up.

Because within the teachings of the 7 Holy Churches, looking straight at the divine was the crime of blasphemy.

All of a sudden, a rumbling voice echoed within the altar:

「 In other words, those who are relatively close have all arrived? 」

A divine enforcer replied: “That is the case, o’ supreme God, it is just as you said. At the current point in time, only scattered individuals are still heading into this world”

The voice didn’t answer for a long time.

But the fact that the grey light remained meant that God hadn’t left them.

The divine enforcers remained kneeling until the voice resounded again:

「 I’ve even brought the Divine race to surround this world, that guy will definitely not run away this time around 」

The voice mumbled.

Divine race?

What does God mean by ‘Divine race’?

The people of the Holy Churches each had such doubts in their minds.

A few moments later, the rumbling voice echoed around them again:

「 You have done well, I am very pleased 」

The divine enforcers quickly discarded the doubt the had and spoke up all at once: “For the sake of God, we are ready to dedicate our lives and our everything”

This was a declaration of loyalty.

But God suddenly responded with something unexpected that made them all freeze:

「 Now that the people have arrived in this world and it was already about time, then the bunch of you have lost your value. Now, dedicate your lives 」

The voice sighed and continued: 「 You people really are efficient with your work, but it can’t be helped when ‘that one’ always likes to turn into others and is full of nothing but schemes. I cannot be assured with anyone on this world 」

Before the divine enforcers had time to think, they swiftly felt a sense of pain, followed by the eternal darkness of death.

The altar became absolutely silent.

Everyone lost their lives at the same time.

The only sound left in this hidden cave was the crackling of the fire.

A while later.

Three figures appeared inside the altar.

The Abyssal Demon Dragon.

Next to him, there were two figures with burning fire-like lights between their eyebrows.

——Divinities.

After the Earth Creator’s death, the Abyssal Demon Dragon found the Divinity Soul Artifacts that Gu Qing Shan made and took these Age of Old Divinities under his wings after they gained sentience.

Gu Qing Shan definitely couldn’t expect that the very weapons he used to fight against the Demon Dragon and Soul Shrieker have now become the Abyssal Demon Dragon’s subordinates.

The Abyssal Demon Dragon silently sensed the battle fluctuations on this world and took a deep breath:

「 I can smell the scent of death. Today, in this place, death itself shall bloom following my will 」

The two Divinities knelt on one knee and respectfully spoke: 「 Master God, please give your order 」

The Demon Dragon spoke: 「 Go, bring your subordinates and seal off this entire world, allow only entry but no departure 」

One Divinity asked: 「 If we run into that person—— 」

Demon Dragon replied: 「 Kill him. His current self is no match for you 」

「 Understood! 」

The two Divinities received their orders and left.

The Abyssal Demon Dragon stood inside the altar alone.

He waited for a bit longer.

Only after there were no longer any airships or people arriving at the world did he begin to act.

——–his figure began growing stronger, his skin turning into sturdy greyish dragon scales.

In one mere breath’s worth of time, his figure became too big for the altar.

Two breaths later, the Demon Dragon’s body had already grown as large as a volcano.

Three breaths later, Demon Dragon began to exude a greyish white flame from his body, his gigantic body had grown longer than any river of magma on this world.

He appeared on the surface of this world, taking up an area of several hundred kilometers squared.

The Abyssal Demon Dragon moved its body and swiftly took flight.

He looked down at the vast expanse of the earth below and the fearful expressions of the Combatants.

Combatant?

Hah!

The Abyssal Demon Dragon displayed a vicious smile.

「 Gu Qing Shan, no matter who you turn into or where you are hiding, as long as you received the information and arrived here to save that man, you can forget about running away 」

「 If I eliminate every living being on this world, one of which must be you 」

「 I’d like to see now just how exactly do you plan on running away now! 」

The Demon Dragon roared and breathed out a cluster of grey flames from his mouth.

Boom!!!!!

The grey flame shot through the ground and triggered an intense sky-high mass volcano eruption.

The world began to tremble and collapse.

...

Let’s rewind time a little bit.

Two hours prior.

The Seaside World, Nightshade bar.

Inside the bar’s secret room, Gu Qing Shan put the colorful rooster statue away.

This thing has now been affixed with the War God UI’s information function, so it will provide me a piece of information regarding myself once per day.

But Gu Qing Shan didn’t check it right away.

———after all, the thing was already in his hand, he was in no hurry right now.

He began checking Zhang Ying Hao’s profile first.

After all, since he wanted to rescue Zhang Ying Hao, he had to prepare an appropriate plan and make the preparations.

On the file, Zhang Ying Hao’s battle characteristics, his many pursuits, and counter-pursuits, his path of action so far, the Holy Churches’ bounty, the current situation in the Fire Mountain world, etc... everything was written in extreme detail.

Gu Qing Shan carefully read through it and closed the file.

“Go?” Lin asked.

“Go” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

The two of them left the secret room, left the bar, and returned to the main road.

After following Gu Qing Shan for a bit, Lin noticed something wasn’t right.

“Gu Qing Shan, why are you heading towards the hotel?” she asked.

“Cause we’re going to rebook the rooms” Gu Qing Shan casually answered.

“I said that I wanted to come to rescue him with you” Lin calmly replied.

“No, we’re going back to the hotel”

“Hm? Did you give up on him because you found it too hard to rescue him?”

“That’s not it”

Gu Qing Shan then began to send his voice to her: “I checked the map of the infinite world and found that place to not be too far away from the Gemini star while being very close to us, so we’re not going”

Lin was surprised and replied: “So you suspect it’s a trap? Just because of that reason?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Of course, there are other reasons—— for example, we’ve only just gotten away from the Demon Dragon not too long ago and such a high-profile event already occurred here”

He revealed a scoffing smirk: “Don’t you think that’s really good timing?”

“There are many coincidences in life” Lin replied.

Gu Qing Shan answered her: “During a kill, any coincidence is a display of a clumsy set up that would make any veterans laugh”

Lin was still unconvinced: “Just because it was too close and too coincidental, you decided that you shouldn’t go?”

“There are more, for example... the bar owner just now mentioned that the world had been made so that it only allowed entry but no departure”

“That’s natural, otherwise, who’s going to catch him?” Lin refuted him again.

“But there aren’t that many forces that have the ability to surround that entire world and forbid the departure of everyone” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Lin trembled slightly.

That’s right, to be able to seal off space completely to force everyone to remain inside, it must be a monstrous organization the size of the Holy Churches.

Other organizations of this nature... would not do something that offended so many people, because they don’t have the backing of ‘God’ as the Holy Churches do.

And the 7 Holy Churches are now under the Abyssal Demon Dragon’s control.

Lin went silent for a bit, then couldn’t help herself asking again: “So you don’t intend to think of a way to rescue Zhang Ying Hao?”

Gu Qing Shan slowly replied: “Other than jumping into a net I know is there, I have many other ways to reach him”

He swiftly continued walking towards the hotel.

Lin looked at his figure from behind with a complicated expression.

“...Too sly...”

She muttered as she went after him.
