Worlds’ Apocalypse Online
chapter-613

The circumstances of the decisive war of the 900 million World Layers had abruptly changed.

The Lord of True Demons suddenly brought the entire army away and retreated.

The countless Combatants, the Allied Army and various organizations of the 900 million World Layers were stunned and stood still.

“Did they just leave?” someone asked in disbelief.

“Maybe… or not, it could be a trap?” someone hesitantly answered.

Everyone looked at Kitty for an answer.

Through this battle, everyone now knew exactly how great of an expert on Spatial manipulation techniques she was.

Kitty carefully sensed around and loudly declared: “The warp gate is closed, the True Demons really have returned to the Fallen Zones!”

Everyone went into an uproar.

This was too strange, it was clearly do-or-die just a few moments ago.

The Lord of True Demon was about to arrive as well.

Then why did the True Demons suddenly retreat?

The various organization leaders and those at the top of the Alliance fell into thought.

Abruptly a female voice called out.

The Spirit of the Holy Tree, Lady Tethys explained: “I know what happened”

“Their goal from the start was Aboul, they wanted to unseal Triste’s world and let the [Demon King Order] spread to the world layers around”

“But now, that [Demon King Order] has already been destroyed!”

“The True Demon’s goal can no longer be achieved, so they could only retreat!”

Everyone was shocked by the news as they quickly discussed this among themselves.

“Who destroyed the [Demon King Order] and ended it all?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

“Frost of the Cold Night, Ilya”

So it was her!

Everyone was surprised again.

“Just now, could it be her that granted us these treasures?” someone else asked.

“Of course not, besides the Bramble Bird royal family, no one could order the Saint Bramble Tree——– the one that granted these treasures must have been the newly-crowned Bramble Bird Empress” Tethys told them.

As soon as she said so, another miraculous sight appeared.

All the weapons, armors and treasures granted from before were no longer under their wielders’ control, they quickly flew back to the Saint Bramble Tree.

Gulp—–

A unified gulp came out across the entire battlefield, as everyone couldn’t help but feel regretful for not being able to keep these items.

But they all knew better than anyone that these treasures weren’t theirs to miss.

The Saint Bramble Tree had never actively attacked any living beings, but if someone tried something against it…

Alright fine, just being able to use treasures from the Bramble Bird Kingdom is already quite a story to tell for later days.

Time quickly passed and the Combatants here quickly got out of the regretful mood brought by them being taken back.

They broke out into a cheer.

“We won!”

“The [Demon King Order] had retreated to the Fallen Zones!”

“Did you see the dejected look of those True Demons?”

“Ahahaha, total victory!”

…

Aboul.

Laura had chanted an incantation to dispel the screen showing the scene at the battlefield.

Gu Qing Shan sighed: “This really shouldn’t be called [Will of the Empress], [Blessing of the Empress] sounds more appropriate”

This was a type of super-distance support ability, allowing the recipient to instantly return to their peak, obtain stronger equipment and get a boost in fighting capabilities.

In truth, the one doing all the heavy-lifting was actually the Saint Bramble Tree.

Even so, it was impressive, because who else in the entire Outer Plane would be so beloved by the Saint Bramble Tree besides Laura?

During a large-scale war, this ability would prove to be both extremely practical and useful.

Laura told him: “If it was you, I wouldn’t take what I gave back, but I don’t know any of these people. And I can’t arbitrarily give our Kingdom’s precious treasures to strangers”

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan thought of something.

“Laura”

“Yes?”

“After the war is over, you can grant rewards and commendations to the Combatants who made great contributions for the greater good”

“Will they accept such a thing?” Laura wasn’t so sure.

“Of course they will”

Gu Qing Shan smiled: “This will bring your reputation to even higher heights”

Ilya thought about his proposal: “The only issue is that the Kingdom might have to give up a quite few treasures”

Laura slammed her hand on the table: “Then it’s decided”

“Understood, your majesty” the Bramble Birds in the room all responded.

Ilya then started to leave the green room, saying: “In that case, I will prepare a venue for the Empress’ commendation”

One of the guards spoke up: “Shouldn’t we find a place to detain Triste first?”

“That’s true, I’ll come with you all for that” Ilya said.

They then escorted Triste out of the royal green room.

At this time, only Laura and Gu Qing Shan were left in the room.

Laura sat on the wide and comfortable sofa without saying a word.

Gu Qing Shan said nothing as well.

He waited for a few moments then took out another bottle of liquor from the icebox.

Pop!

He opened it.

“A third one!” Laura scowled at him.

“Because we can celebrate now” Gu Qing Shan smiled and answered her.

“Celebrate?”

“Yeah, according to Triste’s memories, it should already be time for the Lord of True Demons to try contacting Triste’s world again”

“Once he finds out that [Revolution] has been destroyed, I’m sure he’ll make the proper decision”

Laura trembled a bit and asked: “Which means the True Demons will retreat?”

“Hm, and the war will end”

Gu Qing Shan poured himself a glass of liquor and slowly enjoyed it.

“Who would’ve thought a decisive war for the 900 million World Layers would end in such a manner” Laura sighed.

“Isn’t this a good thing?” Gu Qing Shan smiled, “the [Demon King Order] failed, and we were able to prevent excessive war casualties”

“That’s true”

“Ah right, I need to ask you something” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Ask” Laura replied.

“What’s the level of the [Demon King Order] in the Fallen Zones right now?”

“Apparently it was one step above [Revolution], I think I don’t remember what exactly it was called?”

“Is it powerful?”

“Of course, all of the True Demons carry that main [Order], and the True Demons are extremely powerful. They’re like heaven and earth compared to the Demon Lords that are simply weapons of war”

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

It seems now isn’t the time to go toe-to-toe against the main [Demon King Order] just yet.

It’s too powerful.

I also need to become more powerful as soon as possible.

He looked at the War God UI, about to check the process of his War God Quest.

Laura inched closer and spoke mystically: “Hey Gu Qing Shan, I have a secret”

Gu Qing Shan can only ignore the War God Quest for now and asked: “What kind of secret?”

Laura looked around, confirming that there wasn’t anyone else here, and that the door were closed before the spoke: “I awakened three abilities”

“You’ve told me that”

“The first ability is [Infinite Worlds’ Protection], the second is [Will of the Empress], can you guess what the third one is?”

“I don’t know, and I suggest you don’t reveal it. It’s always good to leave yourself a trump card that no one knows about” Gu Qing Shan sternly suggested.

Laura pursed her lips: “This ability isn’t really something you can call a trump card”

“Even so, you shouldn’t reveal it, knowing it yourself is enough”

“…It’s fine if I tell you”

Saying so, Laura reached her hand out to thin air, about to grab something.

Following her gesture, half of her arm disappeared into the void of space, apparently sinking into a different dimension.

“What’s going on here? Where’s your arm?” Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

“It’s fine, I’m just looking for something” Laura

Looking for something?

Gu Qing Shan carefully looked again——

Laura really does look like she’s reaching her hand into a box to search for something.

Almost like drawing lots from a prize box.

A few moments later, Laura’s eyes lit up.

“Got it!” she cheerfully yelled.

And her hand returned from the void of space.

She had a small, round purple shield in her hand.

Laura offered the shield to Gu Qing Shan as if she was presenting something precious and declared: “Look, this is my new ability!”

Gu Qing Shan took the shield and looked at it in confusion.

The shield itself was quite petite, not particularly heavy.

A power unknown to Gu Qing Shan drifted about the face of the shield.

A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.

[Name: Mage Alliance Captain’s Shield]

[Grade: Epic]

[Unique ability: Using the power of Ether, this shield can block the majority of magical attacks]

[War God Skills: This shield is a standard mass-produced item for the Mage Alliance’s troops, it doesn’t include any learnable Skills]

[Doomsday Chronicles: This is a brand new standard Mage Alliance Captain’s Shield]

Gu Qing Shan looked at the shield for a while, still confused.

Sure, it’s a good shield, but nothing particularly special.

“Hm… so, being able to summon a shield at any time, this is your third ability?” he asked.

“Dummy, that’s not it!” Laura protested.

Apparently a bit angry, she once again reached her hand into the void of space and searched around.

A few moments later.

Laura found another item and pulled her hand back.

This time, it was a naginata.

Tossing the naginata to Gu Qing Shan, Laura spoke in annoyance: “Look again”

Gu Qing Shan received the naginata and obediently checked it.

This was a Legendary-grade naginata, within the 900 million World Layers, this should be a cold weapon that you only come across once in a lifetime.

“How excellent!” Gu Qing Shan praised, “I get it now, your third ability is to be able to summon anything from the royal treasury as you like, correct?”

“Incorrect” Laura denied it.

“Incorrect?”

Gu Qing Shan was confused again.

If that wasn’t the case, then where did this naginata and shield come from?

“This ability of mine is called [Vagrant Treasure’s Collector]” Laura gave him a hint.

Vagrant Treasure’s—- Collector?

Gu Qing Shan thought about it briefly and exclaimed: “It couldn’t be—-”

Seeing that he understood, Laura proudly smiled: “That’s right, within the 900 million World Layers, any items that are lost, unowned, or scattered, are fair game to this ability”

“Whenever I activate it, I can freely look around the void of space for these vagrant treasures”

Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about it and asked: “Such a powerful ability must require quite a heavy price”

“Ah, that’s actually true”

“What kind of price is it?” Gu Qing Shan became anxious.

“I’ll feel a bit hungry…”
