Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 952: [Chaos]

After answering, the boy’s expression returned to normal.

He didn’t have a clue what he just said.

But he noticed the changed expressions of everyone around him.

The boy became tense and abruptly looked towards the void of space——– as if there was actually something there.

This was such a familiar sight.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t hesitate for a single second.

The knight next to him suddenly vanished, stood in front of the child, and caught his shoulder.

A light blue arc of lightning appeared on the knight’s hand.

Lightning Thaumaturgy—- [Dreamjolt]!

This was a War God Thaumaturgy that not even the Desolate monsters from the Age of Old could manage to resist!

The boy fell into a brief state of immobility.

But it would only last for a few seconds!

“Gongzi!” the knight sent her voice over.

“I know!”

Gu Qing Shan answered and swiftly asked the boy: “What is the truth of this entire incident?”

This was a very big question.

The boy showed a look of nostalgia on his face as if reminiscing about something.

He was just about to speak.

But Gu Qing Shan didn’t intend to listen.

There were too many ways that language could alter the context, it also left a lot for imagination.

Gu Qing Shan wanted to take a look at it himself!

For a brief moment, Gu Qing Shan’s eyes faced the boy’s eyes head-on——-

Just like the time he faced Lin; his Iris Sword technique activated!

Gu Qing Shan instantly began to sense a certain thought.

A thought that wasn’t his.

Gu Qing Shan maintained this thought and continued to activate his World Technique.

The conversion between illusion and reality began!

The world around him turned to dust and swiftly receded in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes.

Emptiness.

Followed by countless arcs that flowed in from the endless void around him to create another world in his vision.

“The day of the calamity?”

Gu Qing Shan muttered as he took a step forward and entered this world.

The sky was just right.

Under the blue sky, the mountain greenery was lush as the snow of winter was beginning to melt, the river calmly flowed.

This was a scene of a peaceful midday.

Everyone in the village had either gone home to enjoy a meal or just finished their meal and were preparing to sleep.

Gu Qing Shan stood on the street of the village and quickly found the boy at a glance.

He was running somewhere from a corner of the street several dozen meters away.

Gu Qing Shan followed him.

The boy weaved through the street corners nimbly without hesitation, as if he was going through a determined path.

After a certain point, the boy abruptly turned and looked around.

Gu Qing Shan stopped in front of him.

The boy didn’t see Gu Qing Shan—— since this was only his memory of that time.

“No one is following me; I’m just being paranoid”

After confirming that everything was normal, the boy sighed in relief.

He turned around and continued to run forward until he reached the westmost big tree of the village.

The boy hesitated.

“This is the final rune necessary for the ritual, right?”

He looked at the void of space and asked.

Something seemed to have appeared there.

But Gu Qing Shan didn’t see anything.

He only saw the boy’s eyes quickly moving around, as if to look at something that was appearing in the void of space.

——–as if to read something.

What a familiar sight, this wasn’t any different from how I normally am, is it?

So, is this boy carrying an [Order], or the War God UI?

Gu Qing Shan silently thought to himself.

The boy continued: “Are you sure? Don’t deceive me, I’ve spent over half a year and killed 5 people just to arrange these 1001 runes like you asked”

“Fine, I hope these runes can really activate your power”

The boy seemed to have become determined and took out a piece of human skin that depicted a rune in blood.

“I’m glad that I’m still young and that no one is suspicious of me, I just hope this would succeed”

He mumbled as he buried the piece of skin with the rune drawn on it under the big tree.

After a while.

“It’s done?”

“Ah, then everyone in the village will die? Ahaha, that’s perfect, that bunch of foolish mortals—– I’m so hungry I could eat a whole chicken now——- I’ve been waiting so long for this!”

The boy turned around and ran.

While everyone was resting, he caught a chicken and directly snapped its neck.

In a secluded place, he cooked the chicken and ate it all.

At the same time, countless screams and cries of desperation began to resound in the village.

A dark-colored light descended from above and enveloped the entire village.

The boy didn’t care about any of that and focused on eating his chicken.

The screams in the village slowly faded.

Seemingly, everyone was dead.

The ritual was most likely complete.

At some point, the boy seemed to sense something and suddenly stood up.

“Have you completely descended?”

He looked at the void of space in excitement.

The boy then looked as if he was seriously reading something for a long while without saying anything.

Until several people with blank expressions appeared behind him.

The boy turned around and looked at those people.

His eyes suddenly became serious.

“You are the dependents that I’ve chosen, those who would become my aid from now on” the boy declared.

“Yes” those people quickly lowered their heads and answered.

The boy stopped for a bit and asked: “Now tell me, what kind of [Chaos] did you obtain?”

One of them answered: “I obtained [The Plague], as I spread the plague and diseases, both my [Chaos] and I will become stronger”

Another answered: “I obtained [Broken Bodies], whenever I obtain the body parts from those of the same race, both my [Chaos] and I will become stronger”

Another one answered: “I obtained [Unsettling Times], when I push calamities to occur in the world, I would be able to obtain power from them”

“Very good” the boy nodded.

He turned to the next person.

He hesitated: “During the ritual just now, I seemed to have obtained more power than they did. The [Chaos] I obtained was [The Seven Sins], whenever living beings around me succumb to their Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, and Gluttony; my power would quickly grow”

The boy looked at this person and praised: “You have been favored by [Chaos], your future is limitless”

“Thank you for your encouragement, Great Envoy of [Chaos]” the man humbly replied.

The boy turned to the next person.

The man casually answered: “The [Chaos] I obtained was [Star Destruct—”

Before he finished his words, the boy had already plunged a dagger into his heart.

“Why...” the man resentfully asked.

The boy pulled the dagger out, grabbed his hair, and sliced off his head.

“Because the [Chaos] you obtained was too powerful, and my powers aren’t enough to contain you for now——- I don’t want to be killed by your [Chaos]” the boy curtly answered.

He made a ‘please’ gesture.

The man’s corpse slowly disappeared in front of everyone.

But the sound of loud crunching could be heard resounding from the void of space, giving everyone who heard it a chill down their spines.

The boy continued to ask several people what kind of [Chaos] they had.

They answered one by one until the last one. historical

The boy raised both his arms and declared to those below:

“Go, spread the [Chaos] in this world, you are my dependants, which makes you secondary Envoys of [Chaos]. All of you must find a way to quickly become stronger, and quickly!”

“Understood!”

All the people responded.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan found that both the world and these people were frozen completely still, no longer moving.

—–the boy’s memories of this only lasted to this point.

After a moment of silence, Gu Qing Shan regretfully dispelled the World Technique.

The world then collapsed.

Emptiness.

Gu Qing Shan then found himself back at the camp.

Shannu was still transformed into a knight and holding onto the boy’s shoulder.

Everyone else was staring at this in shock.

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

The situation is much more complicated than I had thought.

And even stranger compared to the Apocalypses that I’ve faced before.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the boy and muttered: “Tell me, Envoy of [Chaos]—— what does this title mean?”

The boy’s expression changed as he shouted in disbelief:

“That’s impossible! How could a mortal like you know about that!”
