Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1751 Parasite

In the mountain valley.

Gu Qing Shan said: “Actually, I also have something I need to ask you”

“Then you can go first” Ye Ru Xi smiled and replied.

“Back then, in order to bring everyone with me and flee, the (Order] had to put all of its carriers into slumber—— did you also fall into slumber?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I did not, this was what I wanted to tell you as well” Ye Ru Xi replied.

“Why was this the case?”

“Because I was and am still a Deity of [Chaos), the power of [Chaos] flows through me, being imbued with [Order] was only a temporary adaptation”

Hearing her, Gu Qing Shan pondered: “All the Awaitings of the (Order] faction followed me here, so where have the Awaitings of the (Chaos] faction gone to?”

Ye Ru Xi then showed a complicated expression.

She looked as if she had gone through so many things and had a lot to say, but didn’t know where to begin.

So Gu Qing Shan decided to just relax and handed her a bottle of alcohol.

“Want something to drink?”

“Sure”

Ye Ru Xi began drinking straight from the bottle.

“No need to rush” Gu Qing Shan said.

“I’m fine, I just wanted to drink”

Ye Ru Xi then began tilting her head back and started chugging until the whole bottle was empty.

Gu Qing Shan silently observed her.

This girl was granted too much excessive power, treated as a treasure by (Chaos] for as long as she existed, and during the (Chaos] apotheosis battle, she played a critical role.

At the time, both the Soul Shrieker and I had to locate and protect her. [Chaos) then judged the outcome of the apotheosis battle in accordance with the efforts of both sides.

So what is it that she wants to tell me?

While he was thinking that, Ye Ru Xi asked:

“Do you have any more alcohol?” “...Yes” Gu Qing Shan replied. “Give me another bottle”

“Alright”

Gu Qing Shan handed her another bottle.

——these were all Qin Xiao Lou’s treasured brews of the highest quality, Gu Qing Shan initially took them with the intent to slowly enjoy them by himself, but now he had nothing else to take out.

After finishing another bottle, Ye Ru Xi turned to Gu Qing Shan again:

“Give me another bottle”

“You’ll get drunk if you continue” Gu Qing Shan said.

“One last bottle”

“...Fine”

Ye Ru Xi got another bottle of alcohol.

This time, she didn’t chug it down like she previously was doing, and was only drinking it sip by sip.

“Now I can talk, I’ve got a bit of courage to talk” Ye Ru Xi said.

Gotten a bit of courage——— in other words, she didn’t have the courage before.

She’s afraid of something.

Gu Qing Shan silently thought, but showed a smile on his expression and said: “Talk, I’m listening”

“...Gu Qing Shan, you’ve saved so many

many dangers, so have you ever run into such a situation before?” Ye Ru Xi said.

“What kind of situation?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“—–You originally thought that you were doing the right thing, but one day you suddenly discovered that the world was much too grand, and you’re only an ant——- compared to the world, you’re only as heavy and as significant as a speck of dust”

Ye Ru Xi continued: “You notice that the line between right and wrong is extremely blurry, some of the things you used to insist on turned out to be exceptionally laughable as you looked back at them, perhaps even discovering that you had always been wrong”

SO

SVATA

Gu Qing Shan didn’t think that she would say something like that and answered her after giving it some clear thought: “The Void is boundless, it contains countless worlds, and the comprehension of living beings towards everything is always limited, I’m not sure which part of this you’re talking about”

After a moment of silence, Ye Ru Xi softly replied: “The Awaitings of the (Chaos] faction are already dead”

“What?” Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

“That’s right. When you fought against the Heavenly Emperor’s clone at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss, the entire Space Vortex was disturbed. This caused all the Awaitings of the (Chaos] faction to awaken” Ye Ru Xi explained.

“And then what happened?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“They had all become extremely weakened, but unlike the Awaitings of the (Order] faction, they didn’t have lady Darksea to help them regain their power, and they weren’t willing to join (Order)—— they’d sworn to always stand against [Order], you see” Ye Ru Xi replied. “So they committed suicide?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Ye Ru Xi answered: “They saw the approaching Apocalypse and knew that they wouldn’t be able to escape no matter what, so they transferred the last of their knowledge and power to me, urging me to evacuate with everyone——– I don’t know what happened to them after that, but the Apocalypses had already surrounded the Space Vortex, and there wasn’t anywhere within the Reality Gate that they could hide—–“

“Which means, it’s definitely impossible for them to escape” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Ye Ru Xi lightly nodded.

Both of them fell into silence.

Gu Qing Shan then smiled and asked: “When you evacuated, which (Order] did you carry?”

Ye Ru Xi stared straight at him for a long while before answering: “[Worlds Apocalypse Online – Magical Girl]”

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

He thought briefly before consoling her: “The Awaitings of (Chaos]’s main doctrine was to eliminate all living beings and use that destruction in order to deceive the Apocalypse” “That’s right” Ye Ru Xi affirmed.

“The power of (Chaos] was so great that it destroyed your life” Gu Qing Shan continued.

“Indeed” Ye Ru Xi affirmed again.

“Even though they all died in the end, you still inherited the last of their power and all of their knowledge, so you feel grateful to them, as well as pained due to their deaths?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“No, I just feel despair” Ye Ru Xi replied: “In truth, it was only after I inherited their knowledge that I found out that (Order) was actually a kind of Apocalypse”

“That’s correct” Gu Qing Shan admitted.

“Even entities as powerful as the Awaitings could only choose to divide themselves into two factions, one faction attempting to copy the Apocalypse, while the other attempts to deceive the Apocalypse through destruction—— in the end, neither of them could actually win against the Apocalypse” Ye Ru Xi concluded.

Her expression was filled with dejection as if she had lost all of her fighting spirit.

Gu Qing Shan was also someone who emerged from countless impossible situations, so he fully understood her current mentality.

He said with a gentle tone: “It’s not completely hopeless, the Samsara is our opportunity. It has always continuously evolved and it is the ultimate weapon of living beings”

Ye Ru Xi appeared to have awakened from her rut and sighed: “I can sense the power that this world holds, but what kind of person would be able to obtain it for themselves?”

—–tsk, not only did you not die, you’re thinking of going after the Samsara as well?

How interesting

Unfortunately, your acting skills are terrible, trying to slander the [Order] faction even at this point in time.

But it makes sense.

——they’d rather destroy the entire Space Vortex so that a few individuals can avoid the Apocalypse Sequences.

“All Chosen Saints of the Samsara are qualified to do so” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“If that’s the case, what should we do now?” Ye Ru Xi asked.

Gu Qing Shan then explained the Elements Purgatory to her.

Hearing that, Ye Ru Xi happily commented:

“I currently have all the powers of a (Chaos] Deity, so I can directly take you to the very bottom, but...”

She appeared a bit hesitant. “The power of (Chaos) is still as powerful as ever, so you’re still unable to control it, right?” Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.

“That’s right, the power is still too powerful for me to control” Ye Ru Xi sighed emotionally.

——-we’ll see how true that is.

“No worries, just continue to dig straight down until you can’t dig anymore, just don’t stop half-way” Gu Qing Shan said.

“That should be ok” Ye Ru Xi replied.

She then chanted something unknown, abruptly summoning a bronze arm so large it practically connected heaven and earth behind her back.

“Come” Ye Ru Xi told Gu Qing Shan.

The two of them stepped onto the bronze arm.

The bronze arm gently held the two of them in its grip, then silently began sinking into the ground.

In front of the arm, dirt and ground were like soft tofu.

Neither hard mineral deposits nor soft mud managed to stop the bronze arm at all.

Gu Qing Shan and Ye Ru Xi stood together, silently listening to any changes that might occur outside.

As the bronze arm continued to sink down, some muffled noises could be heard.

A few moments later.

The sound of battle could be heard outside.

“It seems we’ve entered the Elements Purgatory” Gu Qing Shan commented.

COM

“Yeah, but I can’t retract my power, so we can’t stop yet” Ye Ru Xi worriedly said.

“It’s fine, just continue heading downwards, we need to head deep into the ground, since that’ll allow us to avoid useless battles” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Ye Ru Xi then relaxed a bit.

The bronze arm continued carrying the two of them deeper into the ground.

Gu Qing Shan continued to remain silent.

Within the shrinking dark space, lines of bloody red text began to appear one by one:

(Currently heading downwards]

(You’ve reached the entrance of the Elements Purgatory]

(You’ve entered the first layer of the Elements Purgatory: the Wind Prison]

(You’ve left the Wind Prison and entered the Lightning Prison]

(You’ve entered the Lightning Prison, this is an extremely dangerous Purgatory] “Wait a moment, Sequence, I have something to tell you” Gu Qing Shan silently said.

(Speak] the Sequence answered without hesitation.

“Have you examined any of the lower Sequences for any issues?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[I have not. My energy had always needed to be utilized carefully, so there was no priority to manage the lower Sequences] the Sequence replied.

“There might be some sort of parasite inside (Worlds Apocalypse Online – Magical Girl), see if you can get rid of it” Gu Qing Shan said.

[Are you sure there is a parasite? My energy is in an extreme state of deprivation, if I examine a lower Sequence bypassing its security measures, I will need to expend energy and enter hibernation again—– unless I actually find a parasite and absorb it to replenish energy) the Sequence warned him.

After a bit of silence, Gu Qing Shan replied: “I’m sure that there is one”

[The Sequence will bypass the Magical Girl Sequence’s security to directly search for, eliminate, and absorb the power of the parasite, converting it into Apocalyptic power for you. You must come into direct physical contact with the target for this process]

[Attention, I only have enough energy to attempt this operation once, please confirm again that you indeed want to do this]

“I confirm, get ready” Gu Qing Shan said.

[Preparations ready) the Sequence replied.

At this point, the bloody red text was still continuously popping up in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes:

(You’ve reached the Sound Prison, this is the final layer of the Elements Purgatory]

[Attention, you are still sinking down)

Gu Qing Shan glanced at Ye Ru Xi.

The power of [Chaos] really is going out of control, we’re about to go through the entire Elements Purgatory already.

Noticing his gaze, Ye Ru Xi apologetically said: “Not good, I can’t control it”

“It’s ok” Gu Qing Shan consoled her.

The giant bronze arm was sinking downwards increasingly faster.

A few moments later.

A line of bloody red text abruptly jumped out: historical

(Special warning, you’ve exited the Elements Purgatory] (You are ascending]

(You are about to break through some sort of limit to arrive at an unknown place]

Gu Qing Shan immediately grabbed Ye Ru Xi’s hand and shouted: “Careful!”

Ye Ru Xi had also noticed that and nervously asked: “Where did we arrive at?”

“Not sure, an unknown place”

Bam——

A loud explosion was heard outside.

Followed by the sound of howling wind.

This feels very similar to flying in the sky.

Strange, how could there be another sky under the ground?

“Try and have the bronze arm open its palm, we can take a look outside now” Gu Qing Shan said.

Ye Ru Xi was surprised.

S si

The bronze arm’s hand then slowly opened to reveal the scenery outside.

In that instant, Gu Qing Shan silently said in his mind: “Supreme Sequence, activate” Lines of bloody red text began scrolling rapidly in the void of space, displaying new notifications one after another:

(Connecting to Worlds Apocalypse Online – Magical Girl]

[Examination begins!)

(Discovered 25 parasites: Void Awaitings]

[After elimination, they can provide energy for the Sequence to evolve]

[Elimination initiated!)
