Worlds' Apocalypse Online Chapter 1021 - Awaken

Chapter 1021: Awaken

Translator: La0o9

The Void Deity was sent flying by the blinding pillar of light from Cannon Brother.

The large hole in the void of s.p.a.ce that the king had broken through with his scepter finally closed up.

Everyone waited for a few seconds.

Nothing happened.

Obviously, that Void Deity had no way to break through this isolated barrier on its own.

Everyone sighed in relief at the same time.

“We managed to escape with our lives” Boss calmly commented.

Laura patted her chest: “If it had made it in here, we would have died without any doubt, right?”

“Naturally” Boss calmly replied.

“We were all very nervous, so why do you seem so calm? Did you have something else prepared?” Laura questioned him.

“There weren’t any preparations at all, I’m simply used to seeing grand sights, so I won’t be easily affected by matters of this degree” Boss calmly explained.

Saying so, he headed towards the water fountain first.

——-the black cat seemed to be pointing straight at this intact and luxurious water fountain earlier.

“What an impressive person”

Laura looked at his overall visage and said in admiration.

Zhang Ying Hao pointed at his back.

Boss’ clothes had thoroughly been soaked by his cold sweat, sticking closely to him and revealing every last muscle on his back.

—–he was clearly still shaken.

Everyone: “…”

Gu Qing Shan declared: “Alright, let us go over and take a look as well”

So everyone went forward together and carefully observed the water fountain.

A crystal-clear stream of water was trickling down the steps of the fountain.

The circ.u.mference of the entire fountain could be circled with 30 people’s arm length, a life-like and animated mermaid statue stood at the very center of it all.

The mermaid was smiling while raising a trident in her hands.

The water was flowing from the tip of the trident.

As he reached this place, the king slowly closed his eyes and muttered: 「 Ah, I know of this place, in my head, this place was left over by the G.o.d of Life…」

His voice slowly turned faint, clearly unsealing another memory.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at him, then at Boss: “Did you notice anything?”

Boss looked over the mermaid statue and shook his head: “It’s been too long, I have no way to figure out, let alone a.s.sess the current situation of this place. We can only wait until his memory unseals itself”

Gu Qing Shan sighed: “That’s true, the place we were at before had already been turned into the base of a Void Deity, who knows what kind of place this had become?”

Everyone had no choice but silently stand still and wait.

At this point, a deep voice sounded from Zhang Ying Hao’s shoulder:

[Place me on the ground]

“Yes, Cannon Brother”

Zhang Ying Hao carefully placed the shoulder-mounted cannon on the ground.

Cannon Brother spoke: [You’re a decent kid, and a hitman that has his own style. That’s why I helped you unleash just one shot. Otherwise, it would ruin my street cred]

“Yes” Zhang Ying Hao nodded respectfully.

Cannon Brother continued: [According to the rules that I set up, I can only help you once before I leave——– now, call your handgun, I need to have a little talk with it]

Zhang Ying Hao took his a.s.sault handgun out.

“Greetings, Cannon Brother” a.s.sault handgun respectfully said.

Cannon Brother’s deep voice sounded again: [I’ve heard of you. You used to be an automatic machine gun with talents that far surpa.s.sed any weapons. Your path was open, your potential limitless. Unfortunately, you didn’t know to treasure it, wasting your days on flowering shrubs and making merry. When you finally ran into a hard rock, you stumbled and lost to the point that you couldn’t even save your body]

“…Cannon Brother is right. I’ve been very ashamed of myself”

[Hm, I’ve been watching over you for the past while. You are constantly training your abilities and had become a thoroughly changed gun, that’s why, before I return, I’ll give you a hand]

Clak clak clak—–

With a slight noise, the entire shoulder-mounted cannon broke apart into numerous parts on the ground.

Cannon Brother’s voice sounded again: [I’ll leave these parts here for you. You had better think carefully about your path and perhaps find a new one]

a.s.sault handgun practically cried out: “Thank you Cannon Brother for giving me a chance, I’ll definitely do my best”

[Little handgun, from now on, don’t shout so loudly when you attack, it’s very shameful, got it?]

“Ah, yes, Cannon Brother”

[Good. I’m going back to Gramps Bullet, quite a few newbie young’uns that do not know any better have been trying to steal our spot, I have to give him a hand]

“Cannon Brother, I want to work under you from now on”

[Hak…]

With a single chuckle, Cannon Brother went thoroughly quiet.

“He left” Zhang Ying Hao commented.

“Hm, that’s right”

a.s.sault handgun jumped down from Zhang Ying Hao’s hand and landed among the parts.

“In the past, I used to be a young’un weapon who had no rivals in any technological worlds, but now look at me——-”

“I want to kill that guy! I want to use its blood to clear my name!”

With a loud shout, a.s.sault handgun broke apart into numerous pieces and scattered.

Something miraculous happened.

The parts that belonged to a.s.sault handgun and Cannon Brother started to merge together, automatically a.s.sembling with a series of loud metallic noises.

The gun parts almost seemed alive, constantly coming together, but would quickly scatter again whenever they were about to take shape, seemingly hesitant.

Zhang Ying Hao silently watched this, then suddenly spoke up: “If you want to take revenge, you must have the power to break through the toughest defense”

All the moving parts paused.

Clak clak clak clak clak clak!

An even more intense song of metallic noises resounded.

They seemed to have found a way, quickly merging together at breakneck speed, displaying both determination and resolve.

The parts were no longer scattered after they fused together.

A few moments later, all the parts had disappeared from the ground.

There was now a sniper rifle there.

This was a light-weight sniper rifle, despite seeming a bit simplistic and mobility-focused, it exuded a sharp sense of frigid killing intent.

The light-weight rifle returned to Zhang Ying Hao’s hands and spoke up: “I’ve just reconstructed myself, I need some time to rest”

And then there was no longer any sound.

Zhang Ying Hao put the rifle away with a clear joyful look on his face.

“Congratulations, your gun will gradually become stronger” Laura praised.

Gu Qing Shan and Boss also nodded with smiles on their faces.

After a while more, the king suddenly opened his eyes.

「 Ah… I understand now, this place itself is a Causality lifeform that the G.o.d of Life prepared for their holy country, she will help me triumph against all enemies! 」the king excitedly said.

He began walking around the fountain while chanting an incantation.

He circled around the water fountain again and again.

Time slowly pa.s.sed.

Once the king had circled around the fountain over a dozen times, he returned to the front of the group and grandly declared towards the mermaid in the fountain:

「 Awaken, servant of the G.o.d of Life, lady Tide Caller, I need you to help me win against the enemy of our Deity! 」

After saying so, the king cut open his finger and dripped his blood into the fountain.

「 I am an extension of the G.o.d of Life, a descendant of the Deity, you must show yourself before me 」the king chanted in a low voice.

Hearing that, everyone else couldn’t help but exchange glances.

It turns out that the royal family of Calming Soul Country were the descendants of the G.o.d of Life.

If that’s the case——-

It made sense why the G.o.d of Life didn’t escape the Inner Plane’s destruction by themselves and instead brought their entire holy country with them.

This was most likely the case for all 7 Deities, in order to establish a safe haven for their descendants, they had no choice but to struggle and fight against the monsters within the s.p.a.ce vortex.

While everyone was thinking that, the mermaid statue inside the foundation began to emanate a holy light.

The grey color of stone slowly retreated from the statue as it regained motion.

Sensing something, Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to observe the mermaid’s eyes.

Only to find out that her eyes were clearly observing them!
