Chapter 791: Summon Troops!

Above the sky.

At the end of the horizon.

The light of the 7-colored spear erupted all the way to the sky.

The living mechs, defensive artilleries, and metal structures were like paper against the 7-colored spear.

The Lord of Desolation’s voice echoed:

『 Everything of the human race shall crumble to dust at my hands! 』

Its voice was solemn and dignified, spreading across this entire world.

Standing on top of the mountainous metallic structure over thousands of miles away, Gu Qing Shan could still hear the Lord of Desolation’s declaration.

He stood still.

Currently, all the notifications on his retina had vanished and temporarily went silent.

[Worlds Apocalypse Online: Human Regiment] was currently in its activation stage and would become fully operational in a few minutes.

During that time, Gu Qing Shan asked: “System, we’re currently inside a phantom image, so even if we awaken an [Order], that wouldn’t affect the present, why did you do this?”

[Ting]!

A clear chime.

The War God System replied: [A phantom image is also a short fragment from a parallel world, everything that happened here would simply reset, thus unable to affect our reality in the past, present or future—— so why do you think I had to do this?]

Being asked that in return, Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

He spoke as he contemplated: “Why did you use so much Soul Points to do something that wouldn’t alter reality in a phantom image of the past…”

After a short pause, Gu Qing Shan continued: “Unless—— you have a way to bring the [Order] with us?”

The War God System replied: [That is one of the reasons, but not the most important one]

Gu Qing Shan was speechless.

So orchestrating the creation of and bringing an [Order] into reality from a phantom image wasn’t even the most important reason for the System’s actions!

What exactly is the War God System trying to do?

Gu Qing Shan maintained his calm and went silent for a few moments before muttering: “Some of the events that happened in history would be recreated in this repeating fragment of a parallel world… Are you trying to search for a secret hidden inside the history of this era?”

[Absolutely correct. This secret is related to the survival of humanity, or perhaps of all things] the War God System replied.

“What kind of secret is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The War God System answered: [It is hard to say right now, we need to patiently wait for a bit longer to see if that event will happen or not]

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

He could feel a sense of heaviness within the System’s words.

The transparent screen floating in front of Gu Qing Shan suddenly lit up.

Lines of notification appeared.

[Worlds Apocalypse Online: Human Regiment is about to activate, begin countdown]

[10]

[9]

[8]

[7]

…

Gu Qing Shan looked up at the faraway horizon.

The 7-colored light was slowly heading towards his direction.

To avoid any other unexpected occurrences, the Lord of Desolation had decided to personally lead the troops against the resisting force.

The living mechs reinforced with Zhao Wu Zong’s ice techniques were not even obstacles for the Lord of Desolation and the powerful monsters by his side.

Their frontline was once again being forced back.

At this point, notifications began to appear on both Gu Qing Shan’s retina as well as the screen in front of him.

[Regiment has been activated]

[Beginning reorganization of this world’s resources to select as the Order’s preliminary evolution]

[Selection complete]

[In consideration of this world’s resources and energy, preliminary evolution determined: Technological]

[Other regiments have entered recuperation state, technological regiment preparing for warring state]

[In consideration of the seriousness of the circumstances, personal growth mode has been skipped, forcefully initializing summoning mode]

[Beginning first regiment summoning]

[By gathering all materials, technology and energy in this world, only the primary Profession: Regiment Soldier can be summoned]

[War commander sir Gu Qing Shan, would you like to perform the summoning now?]

Gu Qing Shan quickly read through everything and replied: “Summon Regiment Soldier”

Following his orders, several dozen different-colored metal cubes appeared on the screen.

[The Order is still newborn and currently lacking energy, only random summoning can be performed]

[Summoning count: 2]

[Begin summoning]

Two cursors began to jump from cube to cube at high speed, finally stopping on two of them.

The silver metal cube.

And the black metal cube.

[Summoning complete]

A moment later, Gu Qing Shan felt his hands become a bit heavier.

Two cold metal cubes suddenly manifested in his hands from thin air.

One silver, one black.

——–exactly the two that were summoned.

“How do I use them?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

A small line of text appeared on the screen: [Activation method is the following order: Begin the war]

Gu Qing Shan loudly uttered his order: “I declare, begin the war!”

With those words, the two metal cubes began to expand uncontrollably.

Gu Qing Shan quickly put them both on the ground.

The two metal cubes gradually turn into humanoid metal figures.

They both saluted Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a mechanical voice:

[Biochemical Project 1st class soldier reporting to the commander]

[Sniper 1st class soldier reporting to the commander]

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Engage in combat”

[[Roger!]]

Both of the humanoid metal soldiers both turned towards the end of the horizon.

———the Lord of Desolation was rampaging together with his troops at that location.

The metal soldier observed briefly, then pulled out a 2-meter-long sniper rifle from inside his body.

The soldier raised the rifle, propped it against his shoulder and took aim towards the horizon, then stopped moving.

One breath later, his body slowly became faint, as if he had entered another world.

While watching that, Gu Qing Shan suddenly noticed that he was unable to sense his existence at all.

———even with my inner sight I can’t sense him, this is similar to the Shadow Origin Power that Water God provided me before.

At the same time, the black metal soldier asked Gu Qing Shan: [Commander, requesting permission to use this world’s resources to construct biochemical creations]

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I authorize”

[Authorization received]

The black metal soldier bowed to Gu Qing Shan a bit and crouched down.

His arms turned into liquid metal tentacles that protruded into the mountainous metallic structure.

One breath,

Two breaths,

Three breaths,

The black metal soldier suddenly started blinking in red light.

At the same time, the entire metallic ground began to rumble.

Gu Qing Shan looked down to see that besides the mountain of metal he was standing on, the metallic flooring all around was collapsing outward and quickly expanding.

This was an unprecedented earthquake!

——-no, that’s not it!

Releasing his inner sight to look carefully, Gu Qing Shan found that all the metal flooring that collapsed had actually turned into metal insects about the size of his thumb.

The insects’ back and head were covered in a thick metal carapace, while their exposed mouth apparatus was covered in razor-sharp teeth.

It turns out the metal flooring didn’t collapse, they were just transformed into this swarm of metal insects!

On the metal mountain, the black metal soldier gave his order:

[Metal biochemical insects, engage the battlefield]

Oong———

The loud, resounding sound of insects filled the air, causing the void of space itself to tremble.

The entire world had turned into a sea of insects, and at this moment, the sea of insects were turbulent!

The boundless swarm of biochemical insects took flight and crashed down onto the frontline of the battlefield like a tsunami.

This was a terrifically impressive sight to behold!

On the screen in front of Gu Qing Shan, the battle situation at the frontline was being displayed.

A 6-legged Winged Snake was the first to take flight and enter the fray.

It raised a loud cry towards the swarm of insects.

The insects right in front of it slowed down a bit.

Something in the air seemed to have struck the bugs’ bodies.

In an instant——

The metal insects were angered.

They charged all at once and surrounded this 6-legged Winged Snake.

Without having time to scream its last, the 6-legged Winged Snake was completely devoured.

From afar, it looks as if a gigantic metal hand swiped at the creature and made it vanish without a trace.

The hundreds of insects that devoured the 6-legged Winged Snake’s fleshed paused in the air.

The other insects continued crashing down on their enemies.

After only one breath’s worth of time, the several hundred insects that paused in the air began to change.

They had absorbed the 6-legged Winged Snake’s flesh and began to mutate on a genetic level, slowly turning into the same appearance as the 6-legged Winged Snake.

——–unlike the 6-legged Winged Snake, their bodies were still only about the size of a thumb.

But their metal carapace appeared a bit sturdier and shinier.

These mutated insects also became faster and quickly caught up with the rest of their swarm.

——–the sea of insects descended from above, crashing straight into the monster’s army ranks.

A massacre began.

Most Desolate monsters were unable to escape from the insects’ bite and were directly erased from this world, becoming their gene specimens.

The higher-ranked Desolate monsters constantly unleashed powerful attacks of absolute power to eliminate the insects that surrounded them.

——–but there were simply too many insects, this was a swarm of metal insects created from the resources of an entire world, they weren’t going to be completely eliminated in a short amount of time.

The Desolate monsters’ attacks were powerful enough to blast away a huge chunk of this world’s surface with each hit.

But the swarm of insects seems to have a strange defensive ability that allowed them to negate most of the power in the monsters’ attacks.

『 Gather by me! 』

The Lord of Desolation raised his 7-colored spear high.

Millions of rays of 7-colored light erupted from the spear, cutting down a large portion of the boundless swarm of insects.

None of the insects could approach the Lord of Desolation.

As time passed, the Lord of Desolation would eliminate a huge number of metal insects with each strike.

The Lord of Desolation angrily exclaimed: 『 Hateful insects, you dare to devour my army, I will——- 』

Time stopped right at this moment.

Bang!

Over 10,000 miles away from the battlefield, on top of the metal mountain, a dull sound of a gunshot resounded.
