World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 1155 - The pixies' Divine Artifact

Chapter 1155: The pixies’ Divine Artifact

The Mystic Zones.

The Bramble Bird Kingdom’s original location.

Three huge figures stood within the void of s.p.a.ce.

Countless carriers of [Chaos] hovered them in ring-shaped formations, almost like they were three gigantic planets.

The G.o.d of Life.

The Demon Dragon.

And the Soul Shrieker.

When Gu Qing Shan was declaring the war of [Order] and [Chaos] to the 900 million World Layers, the three Deities had returned from the past.

They silently stood in the void of s.p.a.ce and observed Gu Qing Shan’s sword dance.

The G.o.d of Life’s black tentacles started to move.

『 Cheh, so he really thinks he’s some sort of big shot, let me show him how he’s going to get shot down from afar…』

As she spoke, her black tentacles were slowly converging in one spot.

A gloomy glow manifested at the sharp tip of the tentacles, exuding a sharp screech.

『「 Don’t act 』」the Soul Shrieker said.

『 Why not? He ruined both of us to this degree, and I’m going to take my revenge on him right now! 』the G.o.d of Life begrudgingly replied.

The Demon Dragon: 「 If you don’t want to die, wait until he finishes this sword dance, then think of a way to get rid of him 」

The G.o.d of Life couldn’t help but turn to look at the Soul Shrieker and Demon Dragon.

Both of them had very solemn expressions on their faces, to an extent, they even seemed a bit anxious.

The G.o.d of Life was surprised and questioned: 『 Why can’t I act right now? 』

The Demon Dragon answered with a low voice: 「 In the Age of Old, a race of humans came to take refuge from a parallel world and created the Primordial Heaven realm as well as Primordial Evil realm 」

「 The strongest Combatant at the time happened to obtain a certain heritage from the Dusty World 」

The G.o.d of Life gradually understood, s.h.i.+vered, and asked: 『 And it was this dance? 』

The Demon Dragon replied: 「 That’s right, he obtained this dance. During its performance, he is able to resonate with countless worlds of the past 」

The Soul Shrieker also added: 「『 While this dance is being performed, the spirits of countless worlds of the past would descend. This overlapping power isn’t something that you and I are able to handle 」』

The Demon Dragon continued: 「 Not only that, this dance is only at its first few stages. If he is able to grasp its later stages…」

The G.o.d of Life was furious: 『 d.a.m.n it, he’s nothing but an ant, why is it so hard to dispose of him!? 』

The Soul Shrieker said: 『「 Even after the dance had ended, we cannot use super-distance techniques to attack him, because he can copy our Divine Retributions and use it against us 』」

The Demon Dragon lips curled up and savagely smirked: 「 Which means, the best way to kill him is to fight in close combat! 」

The Soul Shrieker added: 「『 The fewer people the better, bringing too many people will cause complications and leave us open to his schemes. It’s best that the few of us here rush straight in, ignore the other ants, and eliminate him! 」』

「 As long as he is dead, there will no longer be any problems with the bigger picture 」the Demon Dragon concluded.

Observing the careful expressions of the two, the G.o.d of Life was speechless.

I am a Deity.

And yet, two of my allies who are of similar strength to me are discussing the specifics of how to kill a mortal.

Three Deities, against a single mortal.

Is this really necessary?

After a long while, the G.o.d of Life finally regained her senses and replied: 『 Very well, let’s charge at him together 』

They turned into three streaks of light and vanished from where they stood.

The three Deities were rapidly moving through the s.p.a.ce vortex.

In just a few dozen seconds, they will have reached Gu Qing Shan!

…

At this point, Gu Qing Shan was currently talking to the pixies.

“They will probably arrive soon, are you sure that you can stall one of them?” Gu Qing Shan cautiously asked.

The long-bearded old man patted his chest: “I can’t guarantee being able to kill them, but stalling the weakest one shouldn’t be any issues”

Gu Qing Shan observed the long-bearded old man for a long time and finally replied: “If that truly is possible, my plan will be even more a.s.sured”

Barry came up to him and whispered: “It’s done”

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

“Everyone, follow me!”

He shouted at the void of s.p.a.ce.

Immediately after that, Barry, Kitty, Laura, Anna, and the rest all climbed onto the s.h.i.+p.

Gu Qing Shan nodded to Laura.

Laura chanted an incantation, which quickly summoned a projection of the Great Bramble Tree behind her.

Laura bowed to the tree, then said: “Please follow Gu Qing Shan. This will be our toughest battle yet, and regardless of what happens, I hope that you’ll be able to accompany him all the way”

An emerald green aura erupted from the tree.

It had agreed.

Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan tossed the three coins into the air.

The Great Bramble Tree, the Demon King of [Order], and the Angel of Condemnation.

Three coins, three powers!

s.p.a.ce-Time Reflux, activate———

Black fog quickly appeared from beneath the s.h.i.+p and soon enveloped the entire vessel.

The black fog then spread out to fill the entire void of s.p.a.ce.

Those who had arrived from the numerous worlds to join the fight were also enveloped by the black fog.

Oong———

With a resounding noise, the s.h.i.+p and everyone else slowly descended into the abyss of fog, as if sinking into an endless sea of darkness.

———it was not possible to perceive both s.p.a.ce and time within this darkness.

Everything had disappeared from every direction, as if they had just stepped out from an image.

Time was moving backward like a reversing flow.

As time slowly pa.s.sed, the black fog turned thinner until it became a faint white fog.

The s.h.i.+p was continuously moving forward through the endless fog.

Underneath the fog of s.p.a.ce-Time, a long winding river continued endlessly in both directions.

This was the River of Time, a river that stood eternally still while continuously flowing forward.

———-and the group was flying in the opposite direction of the flow.

Occasionally, a gigantic monster would abruptly leap from the River of Time to devour many inexplicable ent.i.ties within the fog.

Fortunately, as the s.h.i.+p didn’t descend into any era which would affect history in any way, it didn’t draw the attention of the monsters in the slightest.

They were quickly going backwards through the flow of time towards the day of the Spire’s destruction.

…

On the other side.

While they were on their way, the three Deities abruptly sensed something.

『「 NO! [Order] had left our current timeline 』」the Soul Shrieker angrily roared.

The Demon Dragon tossed out three coins and cruelly laughed: 「 Fleeing as soon as he noticed the three of us? Dream on! 」

Endless dark fog enveloped the three Deities, then swiftly disappeared.

They had entered the River of Time to chase after the s.h.i.+p.

All of a sudden——

One of the gigantic figures appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce.

It was the G.o.d of Life.

She couldn’t travel to the past together with the Demon Dragon!

『 Strange, what’s going on…? 』the G.o.d of Life doubtfully muttered.

She cautiously examined her surroundings.

“No need to look, it was us pixies that held you back today”

A long-bearded old man appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce.

The G.o.d of Life’s numerous black tentacles writhed and moved, trying to search her surroundings.

Countless pixies appeared to surround her.

『 How interesting 』she laughed, 『 You little creatures dared to pull the wool over my eyes, seems like you’re trying to become extinct 』

The long-bearded old man cleared his throat and continued: “We can’t kill you either, since you used to be a Deity from the Inner Plane”

『 Then, you’re here to deliver yourselves as my food? 』the G.o.d of Life asked.

The countless tentacles around her body readied themselves, preparing to shoot out at any moment.

The long-bearded old man shook his head: “We merely need to stall you here to buy him some time”

With that statement, a short wooden hammer around the size of a human hand appeared in the long-bearded old man’s hand.

Followed by a solemn and heavy wooden table.

The long-bearded old man hit the short hammer against the wooden table to make a resounding ‘bam bam’ noise.

“The trial will begin!”

The long-bearded old man called out.

A miraculous power fluctuation started spreading from the short wooden hammer and expanded in every direction.

The G.o.d of Life started to feel something ominous.

The countless black tentacles reached out to coil around the long-bearded old man, but they simply pa.s.sed through him.

It was as if the long-bearded old man was no longer of this world, unable to receive any damage or attacks.

『 That’s impossible! 』

The G.o.d of Life shouted out loud.

Her black tentacles surged forward like a tidal wave in all directions.

None of the pixies were hit.

The G.o.d of Life was stunned, but soon realized.

——-that’s not right!

It wasn’t the old man that is in another world, I am!

The G.o.d of Life’s figure flashed, attempting to leave.

But no matter how much she tried to fly, apport away, or even run, she remained absolutely still.

The long-bearded old man stares intensely at the G.o.d of Life and solemnly declared: “The gavel had been struck, before this trial is over, you cannot leave”

The G.o.d of Life pondered briefly before smirking.

『 I heard that the pixies owned a gavel that housed a powerful Causality Law that can pa.s.s judgement on any ent.i.ty. I’ve always thought that it was nonsense, but apparently, this was the truth 』

She drawlingly said but was seemingly unconcerned.

『 However, this gavel holds justice above all else. If no ‘plaintiff’ appears after the trial had begun, then this judgement will instead recoil upon the pixie race, causing at least half of you to die 』

The long-bearded old man’s pupils dilated, recognizing what the other party meant.

“That’s impossible, you’ve killed billions, eliminated too many worlds and people to count, it’s impossible that there isn’t a ‘plaintiff’!”

The long-bearded old man took a deep breath and shouted: “Come——- following the Causality Law, any ent.i.ty that holds a grudge against the G.o.d of Life can face it in a trial! This is your best chance to take revenge!”

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

No one showed up.

The long-bearded old man started sweating and muttered in shock: “How is that possible, you were clearly a Deity of endless sins…”

The G.o.d of Life laughed: 『 You made the wrong choice——- if there is anyone who holds a grudge against me from a Causality perspective, they could only be the survivors of Calming Soul Country, but Gu Qing Shan had already taken them all away! 』

The long-bearded old man shouted: “That can’t be true! You’ve killed numerous living beings after joining the [Chaos] faction as well!”

The G.o.d of Life purposely sighed and muttered in a chilling voice: 『 I’m not like the Demon Dragon or the others, each world that I destroy, I would make sure that not a single living being remained of them, not even their souls. I’d consume all of them down to the very last one, so how unfortunately, but there won’t be such a thing as a ‘plaintiff’』

The long-bearded old man’s expression turned ashen.

The gavel in his hand started to tremble, as if ready to unleash the recoil power at the very next second.

The pixies began to sob.

Since the Causality Law failed to be deployed, they would receive the deathly consequences without fail.

All of a sudden, a voice spoke up from within the void of s.p.a.ce:

「 I wish to prosecute them! 」

Having received a hope, the long-bearded old man immediately turned his head.

A solemn middle-aged man slowly appeared in front of the pixies.

Hundreds of voices spoke up from him at once.

「 We are the Previous Kings of Calming Soul Country, having drifted through the void for so long, we would like to prosecute our ancestor, the G.o.d of Life 」

He turned to the G.o.d of Life with a sorrowful expression.

「 I accuse them of throwing away their dignity as a Deity, cravenly clinging to life while fearing death, and arbitrarily devouring their descendants. They should really go to h.e.l.l 」

The long-bearded old man hit the table with the gavel again and shouted: “The plaintiff had arrived; we shall now officially begin the trial!”
