Chapter 1299: Large-scale joint mission

A few moments later.

Xiao Die appeared in a large office room.

“Tower Master”

「 What a rare guest I have, Xiao Die, for what do I owe the pleasure? 」

“Master, I just remembered that it’s been a very long time since I last used my accumulated points”

The Tower Master looked at Xiao Die and nodded: 「 Ever since you bought that piece of land from Void City for your home, you truly haven’t been using your accumulated points at all. I can see you’re enjoying this leisurely life 」

“Yes. After receiving your help, I’ve learnt many things and have matured quite a bit, but I truly am not someone who has a very high requirement of my own strength”

Saying so, Xiao Die looked at the Tower Master and smiled: “Even if something happens, I have you and the others in front of me”

The Tower Master replied without much care: 「 Hm, you’ve certainly let your Scroll talent go uncultivated, nor do you really utilize your True Demon powers——- but I won’t try to urge you to grow stronger like before. After all, you’re a good teacher, and the children all love you, that much is enough 」

Xiao Die fell silent.

A while later.

The Tower Master sighed: 「 I’ve followed up your words this much, so what exactly do you wish to do? 」

Xiao Die replied: “I should have accumulated enough points already; I wish to use all of my accumulated points at once to help you personally teach me”

The Tower Master tilted his head a bit, telling her: 「 Accumulated points are very precious, there is no need for you to use it this way—— I remember that there should still be plenty of food and methods in the Tower to improve one’s strength, as well as countless unique treasures. All of them should be suitable for your own use, and with your position in the Tower, you can easily obtain them all with very little points 」

The Tower Master pondered a bit, then continued: 「 Xiao Die, if you truly wish to become stronger, you only need to utilize the resources of the Tower to improve yourself step by step, you can even ask for help from the others whenever you’re stuck——— studying under me is very harsh, and with your current leisurely life, there is no need to do this 」

Xiao Die looked at the Tower Master and insisted:

“I would still like to ask for you to personally teach me, even if it consumes all of my accumulated points, that would still be fine, because… I’m now thinking of advancing to become the strongest type of Ominous Demon”

The Tower Master’s eyelid twitches, he then started to exude killing intent and lightly told her: 「 Alright tell me, which blind idiot bullied you? 」

“There was nobody” Xiao Die smiled and replied: “I truly wish to become stronger. Because there are some things that I can’t keep relying on everyone for. I want to face them myself”

「 …Very well, I’m going to tell you right now before anything else, I’m an extremely harsh and stern teacher, you will need to go at it with everything you have 」

“I understand”

…

The next day.

The Hitman Guild.

At a relatively empty warping room, dozens of staff members were preparing energy stones for the warp gate, re-examining the warp runes, confirming the coordinates as well as the corresponding information.

Unlike the warp gates Gu Qing Shan had seen before, this warp gate was much larger, capable of holding 7-8 people at the same time.

A total of 12 Hitmen were gathered here.

Crow was wearing a black set of leather armor, standing in front of the warp gate as his gaze coldly passed through everyone.

“The world of the Spark clan is currently being invaded by an Apocalyptic civilization”

“They are now close to ruin and have issued several high-priority missions to Void City”

“The Bounty Hunter Guild, the Hitman Guild, the Demoness Corps, and the Saint Splendor Church have all been called upon, so if you face people from other organizations, don’t be surprised, and don’t attack them”

Someone was worried: 「 If both the Saint Splendor Church and the Demoness Corps are participating, a fight will probably break out right away 」

Crow replied: “They won’t. The Saint Splendor Church is responsible for the frontlines, while the Demoness Corps is responsible for protecting the Spark clan’s nobles and royalty, neither side will run into one another”

Someone asked: “Would the Bounty Hunters’ job overlap with ours?”

Crow explained: “The Hunters’ job is to save all treasures and knowledge inheritance of their civilization, while ours is to enter the Apocalyptic civilization to assassinate those monsters’ leaders”

“Are there any other questions?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Suddenly, one person asked:

“What’s an Apocalyptic civilization?”

Crow’s eyebrows twitched.

——-this is already the pre-mission briefing, who’s asking such a shallow question?

As he followed the voice, he found that it was Fear Fiend king.

A newcomer… understandable.

“An Apocalyptic civilization is a civilization that had surrendered themselves to the Apocalypse. These civilizations have been corroded by certain strange Apocalypses, their living beings have been mutated into monsters; to survive, they must continuously destroy other worlds, prolonging their existence a little bit more with every world that they destroy” Crow patiently explained.

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

He didn’t think that the Apocalypse would also leverage things like this, using living beings to destroy other worlds.

——-this was the first time he had heard about such an Apocalypse.

Suddenly, a staff member loudly declared: “One minute earlier, the Saint Splendor Church’s army clashed against the Apocalyptic civilization, the war has officially begun”

Another staff member continued: 「 Assassins from the Apocalyptic civilization have been spotted in the royal palace and eliminated by the Demoness 」

“The Hunters have begun their plundering and fighting against the monsters”

Information was being relayed by staff members continuously.

The 12 Hitmen didn’t say anything and continued to wait.

It wasn’t yet time for them to emerge.

Under Crow’s lead, the Hitmen waited for half an hour.

Up until a certain moment——–

A staff member shouted: “The front lines have entered a stalemate; the main force knights of the church have entered the battlefield!”

Gu Qing Shan silently thought to himself:

With the main force knights of the church entering battle, the Apocalyptic civilization would surely feel pressured, and it should be the Hitmen’s turn soon.

Sure enough, another staff member excitedly called out: “According to our information, the Apocalyptic monsters have sent out the most powerful armies from their backline into the frontlines”

Crow cracked his neck, then stood up and declared: “Then it’s finally our turn”

『 Sir? 』

“Hm, activate the warp gate”

“Warp gate activated. Teleportation can be triggered in five seconds”

“Five”

“Four”

“Three”

“Two”

“One!”

Flashes of light began to converge into the warp gate, forming a space gate.

The other side of the space gate could clearly be seen.

———a deep blue ocean current.

Crow drew his rapier and pointed at the opposing ocean:

“The Apocalyptic civilization’s command airship is right on top of that ocean, this is currently the moment that their defenses would be the weakest, everyone is to immediately board the ship after teleportation”

“——-remember well, kill without remorse, the enemy’s heads are your accumulated points”

“””Yes sir!”””

The Hitmen responded at once.

Crow pointed to the space gate and shouted: “All men move out!”

The 12 Hitmen entered one by one.

In an instant, they appeared inside the ocean water.

Looking up, they were able to faintly see a deep shadow.

—-that shadow was the Apocalypse monsters’ airship.

The Hitmen all began to swim to the surface.

They would first take flight before making their attempts to enter the airship and perform their hits.

At the same time.

Below the water.

Only Crow and Gu Qing Shan remained here.

“Hey, aren’t you trying to be promoted to Unsolvable rank? Why are you still here?” Crow curiously asked.

“A small issue” Gu Qing Shan slowly closed his eyes.

From the void, hundreds, thousands of hurried and desperate whispers seemed to be talking to him.

——-destroy.

It’s all going to be destroyed!

Save me, someone please save me.

Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.

That was the begging of this world.

As well as the prayers of the world’s inhabitants.

…Prayers?

Gu Qing Shan slowly raised his hand and clenched his fist.

[Blessing of the past worlds]!

This blessing could prove his identity.

——at least, the world would understand that he was a trustworthy person.

“I also need your Prayers. Lend them to me, I will help you” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

The voice appeared anxious, but now displayed more intimacy and reliance:

Everything—- give—- you

A grey number appeared on the War God UI.

This number continued to rapidly increase.

The sound of praying from billions of living beings seems to be resounding in Gu Qing Shan’s ears.

“I’m still too young, I want to quickly grow up and kill these monsters to avenge father!”

“The world is about to be destroyed, can those guys from Void City really help us? God, if you exist, please help us!”

“Hurry, someone deal with these monsters, there are so many of them”

“Kill them! Hurry and kill them!”

“———kill them all!”

The number stopped increasing.

Gu Qing Shan glanced over.

He drew the Earth sword and recited: “Enough for me to use for a bit…”

Watching him from the side, Crow couldn’t help but ask: “Hey, what are you doing over there?”

Before he even finished his words, Gu Qing Shan abruptly took a leap forward.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong!

The sound of war drums resounded through the void of space like thunder, or like falling rain all over this world.

The fighting spirit of this entire world was roused by this drumming!

The Chao Yin sword flew out, circled around Gu Qing Shan and pointed at the ocean.

Instantly, the water split apart, howling as it reached thousands of miles into the sky and covered even the illumination of the sun.

Roar!!!!!!

Like an unparalleled gigantic beast, the ocean roared furiously.

Unlimited ocean water converged in the sky, forming a pair of giant hands that grabbed the airship in the sky and pulled it down.

The airship was held in front of Gu Qing Shan by a pair of giant oceanic hands.

It tried to struggle, but could not escape the restraints of the ocean.

——-almost like a divine miracle!

At this point, the other Hitmen had only just leapt out from the water, they were still in mid-air, none even got close to the airship yet.

Crow held his rapier tightly, his gaze unprecedentedly serious as he stared at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan reached into the void of space and wielded the Heaven sword——–

Sacrificial Sword, [Shatter Sky]!

This was the first of the seven sacrificial sword strikes, capable of sending the entire Era of [Chaos] away without leaving a single trace.

Let alone a single Apocalypse monster airship that was currently in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The sword curtly moved.

A beautiful arc was drawn correspondingly.

The sky and the ocean shattered apart.

An intense deafening sound exploded, then resounded through the void.

The Apocalypse monster airship no longer struggled.

Like it was already dead, it laid completely still.

A few moments later, the intense ocean wind blew past.

Everything was eradicated.

——-the airship was completely reduced to fine dust scattering away by the ocean wind by a single sword strike, leaving not a single trace of its existence.

Never mind the outcome of the Apocalypse monsters inside the ship.

The clouds in the sky were madly swirling, the ocean boiling violently.

Standing within the ravaging ocean, Gu Qing Shan stowed his sword.

“There, just enough”

He softly said.

The ocean gently lowered itself again.

Everything gradually returned to how it was.

Crow looked at the stunned Hitmen standing in mid-air, then at Gu Qing Shan.

It should have been very dangerous… a large-scale joint mission…

He cleared his throat, bowed slightly to Gu Qing Shan, and put one hand forward:

“Erm—– God Almighty? The person you’re possessing is a colleague of mine, can you please give him back now?”
