Worlds' Apocalypse Online Chapter 1472

[Flee!]
As soon as the robot said that, Gu Qing Shan caught Scarlet's hand and hurriedly ran the other way.
Shroud and Reneedol swiftly followed.
The mechanical construct very clearly stated that they were no match for the other party.
The sound of explosions resounded behind them continuously.
The ground continued to tremble without pause.
A huge cloud of dust had filled the sky.
Shockwaves created gusts of wind that enveloped the group of four, helping them quickly flee the scene of battle.
The four of them ran straight without looking back.
"Reneedol, how exactly are they related to you?" Gu Qing Shan loudly asked as he ran.
Reneedol's expression was a bit pale and shook her head: "I don't know"
"But they wanted to kill you!" Gu Qing Shan shouted back.
Reneedol didn't say anything and simply clenched her fist.
"Look, a settlement is ahead of us!" Shroud loudly called out.
A series of buildings that looked like a small town appeared in their sight.
"We can't go in, let's keep running!" Reneedol said.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her.
-----she's feeling afraid.
"We can't" Gu Qing Shan said, "We haven't eaten anything for one whole day, we need to find some food to replenish our strength"
Reneedol refuted: "But that construct wouldn't be able to stop-----"
Gu Qing Shan cut her off: "Even if we continuously run without stopping, those three are still going to catch up to us. They're strong, much stronger than we are"
Reneedol was lost for words.
That's right.
From the speed that those three displayed earlier, they would definitely be able to catch up to us.
What now?
The town was right ahead of them.
Gu Qing Shan scanned through and immediately ran towards one of the buildings.
Shroud, Reneedol, and Scarlet quickly followed.
Bam------
Gu Qing Shan kicked open the gate and looked into the bar.
A few empty mugs laid on top of the bar, a half-eaten piece of bread that had been left there for the entire night appeared yellow and dry; a piece of cold beefsteak had fallen on the floor, now covered in dust.
"Who has a storage item?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I do" Shroud raised his Book of Prophesized Destinies and replied.
Gu Qing Shan delegated everyone's roles: "Scarlet, Reneedol, the two of you rest here; Shroud, come with me to the backroom to stock up on some food"
The two of them leapt over the bar and ran behind.
Seeing that, Scarlet looked for a nearby sofa and settled herself in.

"Come, hurry and sit down, we need to take this time to rest up" she waved to Reneedol.
Reneedol seemed to still be shocked and only sat down after a while.
"They… wanted to kill me…"
Reneedol muttered to herself.
Seeing her like that, Scarlet consoled: "It'll be fine, we have Rhode and Shroud with us, they'll definitely come up with something"
Reneedol looked at her.
Scarlet bitterly smiled and said with a dejected tone: "At least you have your own abilities that you can use for combat. I've already given up my supportive skills, now that I don't have the power of Death, I wouldn't be able to help with anything in battle either"
Reneedol silently thought for a bit, then stood up, walked behind the bar, and opened a bottle of liquor.
She poured a glass and put it in front of Scarlet, telling her: "Try it"
Scarlet looked at the glass, swallowed her spit, then shook her head: "The Overlord of Death is no longer here, what good is drinking alcohol?"
Reneedol explained: "It's because the Law Behemoths had all died that Shroud is now effectively the new Overlord of Radiance, the same should be for Rhode as the new Overlord of Death. You might be able to summon his power of Death by using alcohol as the catalyst"
Scarlet received the glass, clenched her teeth, then drank the entire thing all at once.
Clink!
She put the empty glass on the table, opened her palm, then muttered: "Rhode, please grant me the power of Death"
…
The back room.
Gu Qing Shan immediately sensed it.
"How miraculous… it is because she and I both like to drink that she naturally felt intimate with the power of Death that I carry?"
He muttered to himself, then suddenly put his hand forward into the void of space.
Starlight suddenly manifested from mid-air, before Gu Qing Shan realized what they were, they formed into a scroll made purely of starlight.
…
This scroll entered the void of space and landed in front of Scarlet outside.
Scarlet stared close and saw the words written on it:
[You provide me sustenance; I grant you the power of Death]
Scarlet was ecstatic and immediately placed her hand over the scroll.
Hoh------
It instantly burnt away.
A black flames scythe appeared from the void of space, landing in Scarlet's hand.
"I succeeded!"
Scarlet exclaimed in shock, then smiled brightly.
Finally.
Finally, I can fight again!
She put the scythe down, then turned around and hugged Reneedol.
"Thank you, Reneedol! You helped me out greatly!"

Reneedol smiled.
In reality, this was a conclusion that anyone could have arrived at with a bit of thought.
Shroud.
Rhode.
The two of them will become the final two Overlords in this world.
However, there's another point for suspicion.
------if the other Law Behemoths had died, then where did their powers disappear to?
Reneedol pondered a bit and glanced at the starlight above her head.
Three stars were silently hovering there.
Starlight...
I still need to confirm this in the World of Laws.
But it's currently too dangerous, there's no way for me to go right now.
Those three wanted to kill me.
Reneedol scowled.
-----I can't remember who they are no matter how much I try.
Kill me…
She shook her head and muttered: "I've stayed in the World Valley since I was young, how would I have known those ferocious fellows? This is unbelievable"
Gu Qing Shan and Shroud just came out from the back room just as she said that.
Shroud went forward, held her hands, and firmly said: "Don't think about it too much, there are already not many living beings left in this world, we simply need to live as best as we can"
Gu Qing Shan added: "If anyone wants to kill you, Shroud and I will kill them!"
Reneedol looked at them and couldn't help herself nodding.
Within this scene of despair, I still have my trustworthy companions.
…but why do I feel so emotional?
For some reason, Reneedol felt her eyes becoming a bit warm, so she turned away and changed the subject: "Did you find anything to eat?"
Gu Qing Shan and Shroud grinned.
"There was a pantry in the back, we emptied it all out" Shroud replied.
The two of them took out all sorts of food and laid them on the table.
The four of them were all so hungry that they immediately began to eat.
-------even if they decide to run for their lives, they need to actually possess the strength to run.
"Rhode and I have both thought about it. We can't keep on hiding like this, especially since the other party is much faster than we are" Shroud said.
"Then, what do we do now?" Reneedol asked.
"Eat first, we do have another way" Gu Qing Shan mysteriously said.
Scarlet suddenly commented as she ate: "Rhode, I didn't think you'd actually be able to manifest the covenant of Death, seems like you're going to become the new Death God from now on"
Gu Qing Shan tilted his head, then answered her, still a bit confused: "When I used the power of Death, some sort of other force seemed to be helping me"
"Helping you?" the other three asked at once.
"Yeah, it was a kind power that manifested as stars------" as Gu Qing Shan said this, he suddenly paused.
Stars.
As I remember.
A sky full of stars was the manifestation of [Siming]'s power.
When Shifu appeared, I could sense that she was already at her last breath, both her cultivation and strength were on the verge of collapsing.
Even so, Shifu still managed to cut down [Siming] with a single strike.
Then, what are these stars?
Did Shifu silently change something?
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, then chanted: "The lives of all living beings belong to the Overlord of Death, kneel at my feet and embrace your demise"
Countless stars manifested around his body, which then manifested into a cluster of black flames that silently hovered in place.
Sensing the power of the black flames, Gu Qing Shan muttered: "This isn't using up my power, but rather converging the world Origin power for me to wield"
Reneedol was stunned, then glanced at the stars above her head again.
This seems--- to be-------
Shroud also put his hand forward and chanted: "The power of Radiance and Dawn shall remove all wickedness, that is the moment of angelic descent and my advent"
Countless stars circled around him, then manifested into a mass of dawn light concentrated in his palm.
This glorious and solemn light illuminated their bodies, removing their fatigue.
It was very effective!
Shroud pondered briefly before saying: "The Laws of the world have been completely been changed"
"What do you mean?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"From now on, the world's Origin power will manifest as stars, and the more stars one can manifest, the better one would be able to wield the power of Laws" Shroud explained.
"There's no longer a need to communicate with the Law Behemoths?" Reneedol asked.
"There is no need, unless you want the power of Radiance or Death, in which case you need to communicate with Rhode and I" Shroud replied.
The four of them slowly realized a certain fact and fell silent.
Scarlet struggled a bit to open her mouth: "In other words…"
"Yes, that's right" Shroud nodded.
Reneedol sighed and spoke emotionally: "From now on, anyone can absorb the power of the stars to become entities like the Law Behemoths"
"------or perhaps even surpass them" Gu Qing Shan added.

These capsules could be use for rehab and even reconstruction! Eventually, Buzzard, the largest gaming company in the world, created a new VRMMO with 99% realism pending the new capsules, of course the rate dropped to 97% with normal capsules and 90% with the old fashioned visor systems. Unfortunately, the new capsules cost $100,000 and not many people can afford them, either way the new game World of Destiny was a hit with over 110 million subscriptions!Meet our tragic MC Feng Jun, an injured psychopath that simply wants to get his next kill. He has no MO, he doesn't even care if what he kills is an insect let alone a person. He just has to kill every once in awhile to scratch his itch. Up til an injury that left him without a leg, he was able to make do simply killing insects as no one cared and he didn't even have to visit any doctors about it. People just thought he hated bugs! But after his injury he has been suck at his home not being able to do anything! Fortunately he is rich and spends most of his time playing MMOs since normal VRMMOs don't work well with his injury as the realism setting always keeps him with only one leg! But what will he do with a new opportunity to rebuild his leg with nanotech? Knowing he has to spend a year in the game minimum for something like this, he sets a goal to insure he doesn't go crazy (er) without having stuff to kill.This is a VRMMO story where the game is closer to zhan long than royal road with a few twists here and there. The world outside of the game is sci fi and has very little impact at least for the first year due to obvious reasons. No gore or explicit sex in this story, if cursing requires a mature tag I will add it later, this story is at best PG-13. Tragedy is for his circumstances and previous life, the game itself isn't tragic at all as it's just a game more or less.(This story will be put out alongside my main story whenever I feel like it for now, no set schedule at this time)
