Chapter 1492: Apocalypse colony
Oooooo———
A continuous siren.
Groups of Giant soldiers were hurriedly gathering towards the river bank.
The elves were also riding their jungle beasts towards the Isle of Protection’s river banks.
The entire Isle of Protection itself seemed to have awoken.
Little Dusk brought Reneedol with her as they flew, landing next to Boss and Gu Qing Shan.
“Why is there so much Apocalypse trash?” Little Dusk scowled.
In the river, all sorts of damaged junk were quickly drifting towards the Isle of Protection.
Gu Qing Shan wore his gloves and casually threw a punch towards a random target.
Bang——
A few hundred meters away, a piece of driftwood was sent flying towards the debris, falling in the middle of it.
The piece of driftwood suddenly broke.
A faint mass of crimson mist slowly rose above the water, drifting just above the debris.
The mist didn’t scatter at all and remained on top of the water.
Any object that drifted through the mist became riddled with holes, as if they were being pierced through by countless needles.
“As expected, this is an Apocalypse... ‘s residue” Boss commented.
Gu Qing Shan took out a bow, nocked an arrow and let go.
Shu——–
The arrow flew and struck a trunk that just happened to drift outside the range of the mist.
The trunk exploded and released a mass of glowing insects.
These insects had humanoid faces that only remained in the air for a little bit before they disappeared.
The others didn’t react at all, but Boss’ expression changed as a layer of cold sweat appeared on him.
“What’s the matter with you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“This is a type of Apocalypse called [Mutation], they caused considerable damage during my era—— fortunately, that was only a little bit of its residue so the mutated insects all lost their lives. Otherwise, there would be no telling how many people would be able to survive on this Isle” Boss wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and silently sent his voice.
A few of the elven leaders had knelt in front of Gu Qing Shan.
“Our God, you are our most venerable Master, please grant us your divine revelation”
The elven Grand Elder devoutly said.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit strange looking at these elves in front of him.
——-this species is truly interesting. Even though they had released all of their slaves and become his slaves, they still act completely high-and-mighty in front of the other races.
Despite how I treated them before, the only thing they displayed after knowing that I was the Death God was indisputable faith.
It was as if they would never move West if I ordered them to head East.
——this is a species that worships the strong and adores status to an extreme degree.
Gu Qing Shan pondered: “I have no use for you right now. It’s currently very dangerous, we need to confirm the situation ourselves”
The elven Grand Elder bowed deeply: “God above, we will be able to aid you with menial matters like investigating”
He waved his hand.
An elf flew forward, and landed on top of the water, then used a kind of extremely nimble and rhythmic footwork to avoid a lot of the Samsara debris affected by the presence of the Apocalypse. He moved by himself deeper into the mass before disappearing upstream.
A few moments later.
That elf quickly returned.
The elven Grand Elder boastfully said: “God above, this is our best scout, no trap could ever hurt him”
Gu Qing Shan facepalmed.
There’s such a thing as being too considerate!
He sternly said: “If I don’t order you to do something, do not attempt to participate. Remember this well, this is for your own good”
“Do not let that elf reach the river bank!” Boss suddenly called out.
Reneedol immediately pushed her hand down from afar.
The elven scout was lifted into the air a few hundred meters away from the Isle, unable to move.
Gu Qing Shan followed up Boss’ words and asked the group: “Who has a clone or something similar? It would be best if it’s a clone that can also perform an examination”
Little Dusk said: “I have combat Marionettes”
She drew Card after Card from the void of space, quickly gathering over ten Cards in her hand, then threw one of them forward after taking a look at it.
Poof!
A handsome male teenager appeared and started flying towards the elven scout.
“Little Dusk will be responsible for examining, but if a problem occurs, someone needs to support her” Gu Qing Shan said.
“I’ll be responsible for that” Boss opened the Book of Prophesized Destinies and took out a shining gem.
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist and formed a stance, gathering black flames around his hands.
“When things become irreconcilable, I’ll be responsible for destroying the target”
Reneedol, Little Dusk, and Boss all nodded.
Everyone had been delegated a role.
The elven Grand Elder appeared puzzled when he saw that.
He really couldn’t understand why these most powerful existences were still so cautious despite his subordinate being completely unharmed.
As the teenager approached the elven scout, Little Dusk quickly threw Card after Card into the void of space.
The Cards disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the teenager suddenly gained a breastplate, a helmet, visor, wrist guard, and various other defensive items.
Little Dusk put the other Cards in her hand back into the void of space and began drawing more from it.
She drew another 12 Cards before tossing two of them forward.
“Finally drew this Card—– Grand Net of Mysticism, deploy!”
She shouted.
A giant illusion of a Card appeared behind the teenager.
The Card depicted a transparent complicated net that exuded a multi-colored radiance.
The teenager approached and held onto the elven scout tightly.
The multi-colored net then manifested to envelop both of them.
Little Dusk then threw out another Card.
This Card depicted several stone statues.
One of the statues turned to Little Dusk and said: 「 No good, he’s carrying a berserk and fatal power 」
Another statue spoke: 「 That force require the world to remain silent, any sound will trigger absolute destruction 」
A third statue continued: 「 That power will spread and infect within a radius of 100 meters, no entity can be immune to it—— you cannot let him approach! 」
At this point, the elven scout was panicking and said: “Why did——”
As soon as he uttered those words, his entire body turned into a mass of black pulp.
Not even Little Dusk’s combat marionette was able to escape, it was also turned into black pulp.
The two masses of black pulp fell into the river and was stretched by the river flow into an extremely long shadow before eventually disappearing.
The Isle was completely silent.
Boss closed the Book of Prophesized Destinies and sighed: “This is the Silent Apocalypse——- it is a true Unlivable Apocalypse, even if that was only a bit of residue, I still wouldn’t have been able to save that elf”
Little Dusk also shook her head regretfully.
Several Giants knelt in front of Little Dusk and spoke in a low voice: 「 Guardian, please allow us to participate in the battle 」
“You?”
「 Indeed, we Giants do not fear these things, allow us to sacrifice our lives to destroy them 」
“I forbid it!”
Little Dusk sternly replied.
Her hands swiftly put the Cards in her hand away and drew another full hand of Cards, telling them: “While I’m still here, how would it be your turn to sacrifice yourselves!”
“Dusk is right” Boss looked at the various species gathered here, telling him: “This isn’t something all of you will be able to fight against——- everyone retreat, leave the situation here to us”
The various species focused on them.
Gu Qing Shan, Boss, Reneedol, and Dusk.
They were indeed the strongest.
“Retreat!” Gu Qing Shan shouted loudly.
Everyone was startled and hurriedly retreated.
“I’ll go first”
After saying so, Reneedol continuously tapped the void of space with her hands in the direction of the flowing river.
The various items that were infected with apocalyptic presence flew out of the water and hovered in place.
Boss took out Abaddon the spear from the Book of Prophesized Destinies and said: “I won’t be able to destroy them all alone”
He then began to thrust the spear.
Invisible gusts of wind were unleashed from the spear to crush the items from a distance.
Little Dusk threw out a Card that manifested as an invisible wall in front of the Isle.
She continued to draw more Cards to reinforce the invisible wall.
“I’ll take care of defense, Rhode, please help him attack” Little Dusk said.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged and was about to take out another bow, but stopped himself.
The Dreamscape Soul Artifact, [Bow of Fallen Souls]
This bow can definitely resolve this situation, but there’s a fellow hidden in the shadows silently observing everything.
A trump card shouldn’t be taken out so quickly.
With that in mind, he put the regular bow in his hand away and instead put the flaming red gloves back on.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Qing Shan shifted into a stance and began to throw punches from a distance.
With each strike, a piece of Samsara debris was destroyed.
The presence that was stuck on those items quickly dissipated into the void of space.
Boss and Gu Qing Shan continued to attack the Samsara items that were flowing downstream, it wasn’t until half an hour later that they finally got rid of everything on top of the water.
The two of them laid on the ground, completely exhausted.
“You’ve worked hard, the problem has finally been resolved” Little Dusk delightedly said.
The living beings of various species around them also cheered.
Reneedol furrowed her eyebrows and said: “I can sense many of the Apocalypse items sinking into the water. They had probably filled the bottom of the river, it’s best that you don’t enter the water from now on to prevent any possible issues”
Everyone nodded without hesitation.
Who would try to enter the water after seeing that? It would be nothing but a death wish!
Little Dusk was even more careful and ordered: “From now on, everyone is forbidden from entering the water! I will also need elven and giant soldiers to be stationed around the perimeter of the water and prevent this from ever occurring”
“Understood!”
The elves and giants both responded.
Gu Qing Shan and Boss exchanged glances.
“There must be something underwater” Boss sent his voice.
“That’s why they didn’t want us to try and investigate” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“But now that they put so many items infected by apocalyptic presence into the water, we can’t dive down at all” Boss worriedly said.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer him.
If he only wanted to avoid detection, he would simply need to use [Orange Sovereign Transformation] and [Ghostly Shadow of Night] when it is nighttime.
But now that so many Samsara items had sunk into the river, all of which containing apocalyptic presence that can’t be gotten rid of, anyone who tried to go down would only die.
What now?
Gu Qing Shan continued to lie on the ground and rest.
At some point, he silently chanted in his mind.
“—–I want to find a path that can avoid both the underwater currents and the Apocalypse junk, is undetected by anyone, and would lead further underground”
One breath’s worth of time.
No response.
A few moments later, a black spot appeared and circled around Gu Qing Shan’s wrist several times before disappearing.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit disappointed.
It seems that there isn’t a path like I described that can connect the above and underwater regions.
[Longing] is primarily used to display the connections between living beings or between a living being and all things. If I could understand this ability better, it would even be stronger.
——-but now, it had displayed beyond any doubts that no such path existed.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly before removing some of the conditions and chanted again:
“I want to find a path that can avoid the Apocalypse junk and lead further underground”
A second later, a black thread appeared out of thin air, one end wrapped around his hand, the other end reaching far into the void of space.
