Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1201: Great wall

A female doll sat on top of a chair.

She was staring straight at the screen with an unchanging smile.

Around her, a heavily distorted voice resounded:

[Humans, greetings]

[Seeing how you could not even deal with an Apocalypse of this level; I am filled with pity]

[I will tell you a secret: YOU are the true Apocalypse of those monsters, as they will be massacred to extinction right in front of you]

[Following this, you shall observe the foolproof process of retaliation]

[Hopefully, you will be able to grasp it soon, because——-]

[In 5 minutes, humanity’s retaliation against the Apocalypse will begin]

...

The human alliance’s HQ.

The governmental office of every country on the continent, as well as various army corps.

Every serviceable screen switched on by itself, displaying the previous footage.

Followed by footage of a man whose face had been heavily censored.

[Can you see this, inside this killing chamber, monsters will constantly appear one after another]

[All of you must prepare yourselves to immediately kill off any monster as soon as they appear]

[You may leave the clean-up for the machines, as they will automatically clean up the corpse to make space for the next monster to arrive]

[Your personnel must continuously take turns killing the monster without pause, up until I deem it fit for you to stop]

[Now, you have 5 minutes to prepare yourselves]

[After 5 minutes, I will deliver the weakest monster to your location. Once you’ve gradually grasped the rhythm, I will be sending increasingly more powerful monsters for you to eliminate]

[I will now announce the location of each killing chamber]

[Human alliance’s HQ, military General sparring field]

[The Eastern continent’s 5th Company base, monster corpse clean-up array]

[The 7th Army’s base, training grounds]

[...]

5 minutes later.

At each of the mentioned locations, the most powerful Combatants of humanity were waiting with bated breaths.

The reason why apocalyptic monsters were so terrifying was partially because they weren’t afraid of hot weapons, and also because of their numbers that made it impossible to kill off all of them at once.

If only one monster was to appear at a time...

How could they not win?

At the human alliance HQ’s military General sparring field, several Generals were silently waiting.

Zi——

The void of space fluctuated.

A Uni-horn Frost Buffalo suddenly appeared.

The Generals acted at the same time.

Before the Buffalo could even understand what had happened, it was instantly killed.

One second later.

Its corpse was sent away.

Five breaths’ worth of time later.

Another monster manifested.

It also died unceremoniously.

The same situations were occurring at every human military base.

...

Ye Fei Li put the microphone down.

“Nice explanation” Zhang Ying Hao praised.

“But, are you sure there won’t be any issues like this?” Ye Ru Xi watched the onscreen footage and asked worriedly.

Gu Qing Shan was quickly operating the computer as he replied: “Don’t worry, I’ve already run calculations of the total power level of every military base and made a foolproof algorithm for monster distribution as well as deliverance. In the off-chance of any issues—–”

“What would happen?” Ye Ru Xi looked at him.

“Quite simply, the problematic monster will be sent away instantly” Gu Qing Shan inputted one final key.

An electronic voice then spoke up from inside the large computer:

[Warp apparatus creation, distribution, deliverance, as well as war observation and management can be left to me. Master, you can rest]

Ye Ru Xi looked at the computer in surprise.

“It’s only a primary-level AI, when you come with us to the space vortex, you’ll see just how insignificant of an achievement this is in the grand scheme of human civilization” Gu Qing Shan shrugged.

“Space vortex?” Ye Ru Xi repeated after him.

“Right” Zhang Ying Hao chimed in, “In the void, there are 900 million World Layers, each World Layer contains billions of worlds with their own uniqueness and traits”

After saying that, he looked at Ye Ru Xi.

——and successfully saw the same expression as his own back when he first learnt about this.

Gu Qing Shan returned to the meeting table and poured everyone a shot of liquor each.

“Now, it’s time for the monsters’ Apocalypse”

Gu Qing Shan offered a glass to everyone.

The four of them raised their glasses.

After taking her drink, Ye Ru Xi turned to watch the surveillance footage.

Only to see the monsters continuously manifested out of thin air, then swiftly killed by the fully-prepared human Combatants, and cleaned up.

This process was becoming smoother as time went by.

Although they didn’t understand what was going on, the human Combatants were clearly delighted.

——if they could keep this up, by the end, the fate of this world would be changed!

They then began drawing up plans to efficiently take advantage of their rests, arranging personnel to take turns on killing, and making sure that there were no loose ends.

Once they had gotten fully used to this process.

The massacre of apocalyptic monsters began to speed up.

30 minutes later.

The monsters were in a panic.

The world-wide computational system issued a warning:

[Master, all apocalyptic monster had begun to move]

[They are trying to split up as much as possible and converge at their destinations from different directions]

[According to the direction they are heading in, I’ve confirmed that their destination is the most prosperous human settlement, as well as the human alliance’s HQ]

[Through simulations, a conclusion has been drawn that the human settlement and human alliance HQ must immediately evacuate and go into hiding, otherwise, they will be surrounded and eliminated!]

Hearing that, Ye Ru Xi looked at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan put the shot glass in his hand back down, walked in front of the computer, and operated it with both hands.

“They think they can put me on the back-foot like this?”

He muttered.

Following his orders, batches of completed warp apparatus were being sent down from space satellites.

These warp apparatus were buried all over the ground, or disguised as rocks, trees, structures, worms, bird nests, etc.; another portion of them was being carried by flying unmanned drones, creating an interconnected web of defense between the sky and earth.

It was a line of defense composed purely from warp apparatus, stretching endlessly on the ground for over 10,000 kilometers. It was like an invisible wall that completely surrounded the prosperous human settlement as well as the human alliance HQ.

At this point, the monsters arrived from every direction at once.

They had tried their best to scatter and converge here in order to take down the human alliance HQ all at once.

——after all, as far as they understood, this was the toughest nut to crack in this world, so if anyone was capable of causing this ‘calamity’, it would be none other than the alliance HQ.

“Warp Wall, activate” Gu Qing Shan ordered.

[Understood, master]

Following his order, the 10,000-kilometer wall of countless warp apparatus were all activated.

Gu Qing Shan then said: “Use the database of monsters collected from the last few years to determine their strength, compare them to the fighting power of each army, and distribute them appropriately through our warp network”

[Understood!] the computer replied.

A second later.

From the Southeast direction, the first monster entered the range of the ‘wall’.

It was teleported away.

From the Northwest direction, another monster entered the range of the Warp Wall.

It also instantly vanished and appeared somewhere for human Combatants to kill.

Regardless of where they were heading from, every monster who charged towards the human settlement vanished one after another.

[Master, the monsters’ advancement is growing increasingly rapid, we will soon reach the limit for all available killing chambers!]

“The first Warp Wall’s operational algorithm had reached a near-perfect degree, do not alter it. We can now release a portion of monsters through the wall and allow them to advance” Gu Qing Shan ordered.

[Understood, they will arrive at the human settlement in one hour] the computer replied.

Gu Qing Shan operated the keyboard again, utilizing resources from various locations to quickly manufacture even more warp apparatus.

“Prepare to send in the next batch of warp apparatus and construct the second Warp Wall”

[Understood!]

Ye Ru Xi couldn’t help but cut in: “Even with a second wall, the number of monsters humanity can deal with at once is limited. We would just reach the limit of their load like this”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Who said I’m going to increase the load for humanity’s army?”

Ye Ru Xi tried asking further: “Then the second wall is for—–”

Gu Qing Shan grinned mysteriously and replied: “To send them to a certain location”

...

At another location.

In the wilderness.

The Soul Shrieker and Raging Flame Traveler were quickly rushing forward.

『 「 Remember, if something strange approaches us again, we will immediately act to destroy it 』」the Soul Shrieker said.

「 Naturally, we can’t let that strange thing teleport us away again, it wasted so much time 」the Raging Flame Traveler nodded in agreement.

「 But then... where do you think this teleportation power is coming from? 」the Raging Flame Traveler couldn’t help but question. historical

「 『 Who else could it be from? 」』the Soul Shrieker’s expression became full of cruel killing intent as it continued: 『 「 Other than that bastard whose head is full of nothing but schemes, I can’t think of anyone else who could do such a thing 』」

「 I will definitely kill him 」the Raging Flame Traveler declared full of killing intent, 「 Tsk, I once rampaged through countless worlds from the Age of Immemorial—– 」

The two monsters suddenly stopped.

They hurriedly avoided the expanding space and dodged the fluctuating warp apparatus.

None of the hidden warp apparatus hit them.

『 「 Don’t think the same tick is going to work twice! Show yourself and fight me if you dare! 』」

The Soul Shrieker angrily roared.

「 Don’t mind it, with our power of [Chaos], so long as we readied ourselves, this party trick of his is useless 」

The Raging Flame Traveler continued: 「 He has no more tricks to pull, we can now go and immediately kill him! 」

The Soul Shrieker grinned maliciously and replied: 「 『 That’s indeed true, we’re going to first kill him, then bring that Dei——— 」』

At the next moment.

Thud thud thud thud thud!

Countless monsters were transported from the second Warp Wall and instantly filled this vast area.

They were falling, climbing on top of one another, howling, shrieking, crying, moving around, trying to give themselves some space.

The Soul Shrieker and Raging Flame Traveler were suddenly surrounded by all of these monsters.

「 We didn’t die! What happened? 」

One monster nervously shouted.

「 We should have been attacking the human defenses, but too many of our comrades vanished. And now, we seemed to have been... wait a moment, it looks like we were transported to another world all at once! 」another monster pondered and replied.

Another world!

Every monster became cautious.

「 Everyone be careful, I can sense a presence that is different from our own! 」a 30-meter-tall monster loudly declared.

A different presence?

The apocalyptic monster nervously but carefully observed their surroundings.

Soon.

All of their gazes were converging in the same direction.

They could see the Soul Shrieker and Raging Flame Traveler that were tightly squeezed in the very middle of all the monsters, unable to move.

Soul Shrieker: 「 『 ... 」』

Raging Flame Traveler: 「 ... 」

The monsters: 「 ... 」
