Chapter 521 - [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Kindling
Chapter 521: [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Kindling
900 million World Layers.
Super Dimensional Zones.
A screen of light appeared.
Barry and Kitty appeared on a busy intersection.
This was Sun City, a Super Dimensional world that was close to the Club.
They were heading on their way.
“How much longer do we need?” Barry asked.
Kitty consoled him: “Bro, don’t be in a hurry, with only the two of us, we won’t be able to go against the entire True Demon army”
“Gu Qing Shan that guy probably won’t last for too long, so we need to hurry—– so how much longer exactly do we need?” Barry asked again.
“We have to contact a few trustworthy comrades first before we head to Aboul, the entire trip should take at least one and a half day” Kitty told him.
“Damn it, if my leg——”
“Your leg is already recovering as fast as it could, we can only follow along the trail of Super Dimensional worlds, don’t think about anything else”
Kitty sternly told him.
Compared to other worlds, Super Dimensional worlds were much safer.
Furthermore, with Kitty’s spatial powers, they can return to the Club from any other Super Dimensional world.
For Barry’s safety, they’ve been traversing through a trail of Super Dimensional worlds.
As soon as Kitty said that, she noticed something.
She suddenly pulled out a sheet of stationary paper.
Poof!
The paper started burning.
The entire sheet of paper was quickly burnt away.
Kitty’s ears drooped down as her expression became sorrowful
Barry lowered his voice, asking: “Is that Aboul’s guardian’s token?”
“It was, like me, he enjoyed writing, but despite being so strong, his novels are really shitty so I’ve always teased him about that”
Saying so, Kitty couldn’t help but shook her head.
Such a token being destroyed meant that the person was no longer of this world.
Barry looked at the slowly burning paper and also deeply sighed.
Aboul’s guardian being eliminated showed that the demons have begun to move.
“Did you not tell him?” he asked.
“I already sent him a message, but it’s likely that he never received it” Kitty answered.
“I know about him… how strange, he isn’t weak at all, so why did he get killed without being able to do anything?”
Barry became more cautious.
He muttered: “If it was a sudden attack by the demon army, he would’ve did everything he could to stop them, making a very large commotion”
Kitty continued: “The surrounding worlds would also be alerted, and Combatants from various places would’ve gone to help”
“That’s right, and the Spire Keeper Association would’ve also issued an emergency call before anything else”
They both went silent and glanced around.
This place still has the hustle and bustle of a crowded city without any signs of panic.
At this point, a person walked past them with a newspaper published by the Spire Keeper Association.
They followed after him.
Quickly glancing over the news on it, they stopped.
“If there were news of Aboul, it would’ve made today’s headlines, but there wasn’t even any news of Aboul” Kitty commented.
Barry fell silent.
He was squeezing the pair of metal boxing gloves on his hand tightly.
“Bro?” Kitty worriedly asked.
“I’m fine, but it seems like more people have turned to the side of the demons” Barry spoke.
Kitty sighed and said nothing.
——the only situation where Aboul’s guardian could be killed without alerting anyone was when he was completely defenseless.
And who could approach him in such a state?
Those that he deemed trustworthy.
Barry spoke: “We need to hurry up”
“Hm”
The two of them quickly left.
…
Aboul Hotel.
The royalty green room.
Gu Qing Shan also held a letter in his hand.
Kitty’s voice came from the paper.
[Some sort of extreme danger will appear in Aboul, with your current strength, you stand no hope of going against it——- no, even the entirety of Aboul and people of the several thousand World Layers around it would still not be able to go against it]
[I believe this might be the demon’s ploy, Aboul will definitely fall]
Kitty’s voice seemed impatient.
[Qing Shan, after you meet your girlfriend, please use the void string to immediately return to the Club—— only a Super Dimensional world can be considered safe]
[I’ve reinforced the void string and added twice as much power into it, so there won’t be an issue even if you bring 3-5 people with you]
[Remember, do not stay there for too long]
Perhaps hesitating for a bit, her voice came again after a short pause.
[If you can’t make it back in time, please find somewhere safe and wait for us]
[My brother’s wound needs 2 days to completely heal, so 2 days later, we will definitely save you and your girlfriend]
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan’s heart slowly sank.
Sure enough, in such a crucial situation, Barry and Kitty were reliable people.
But they won’t make it in time.
Something big was about to happen in Aboul.
The demons were coming.
Gu Qing Shan wasn’t sure how Kitty managed to find out such a thing, but he believed that Kitty wasn’t someone that said things arbitrarily without a reason.
And Kitty wouldn’t write such a letter specifically just for a joke.
The situation was really unsafe.
Gu Qing Shan felt impatient.
Just when can Su Xue Er leave Triste’s world?
Even worse than that, I can’t get in at all.
Just how should I get to Su Xue Er and leave here as fast as possible?
No matter how much composure he had normally, getting such a sudden message from Kitty, he couldn’t think of any way to get around this.
While he was thinking, a voice came from next to him.
“Hello sir”
Gu Qing Shan almost jumped.
He looked up to see the little maid standing in front of him once again.
She came without a sound or shadow once again, his inner sight didn’t notice her at all.
As a cultivator, Gu Qing Shan was really wary of these types of sudden appearances.
Although he himself uses skills like [Shadow Shift] and [Ground Shrink], being approached by someone else like this was still stressful.
“That voice just now was Kitty, was it not? I’m sorry to ask, did you not know what was going to happen in Aboul before?” the little maid asked him with a scared tone of voice.
“That’s right, I only found out about it just now” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Seeing him admit it so openly, the little maid’s eyes changed a bit.
She muttered: “Kitty? Regardless of what they did, the fact that she and Barry are good people is well-known. Mother also said that they were some of the few people you can absolutely trust…”
Gu Qing Shan heard that, but didn’t reply to her.
He was very impatient, wracking his brains to think of a way to get to Su Xue Er so he didn’t have the mind to say anything to the maid.
At this time, something changed on the War God UI.
Gu Qing Shan glanced over and found that the System had just made a description of the letter he was holding.
Long lines of glowing text appeared on the screen.
[Item name: Justice Iron Fist Club letter]
[War God Skills: This letter was an emergency letter, no skills to learn]
[Doomsday Chronicles: The person who wrote this letter had found out a certain horrifying truth, she foresaw a famous historical event]
[You may use this letter together with Triste’s medal to significantly lower the Soul Points required to learn of that historical event]
[Would you like to use 10,000 Soul Points to learn that historical event?]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Using Triste’s medal by itself required him to use 100,000 Soul Points to learn the event.
But together with Kitty’s letter, the amount required was now only 10,000 Soul Points.
It seems Kitty wasn’t wrong, the demons really were coming.
Gu Qing Shan consumed the 10,000 Soul Points without hesitation.
Since a crisis has appeared, the most important thing right now was intel.
I need more intel.
A few more lines of text appeared on the War God UI.
[You’ve exchanged Soul Points for the corresponding Doomsday Chronicles event]
[Specific information regarding the event comes from a newspaper headline of your previous life]
Wait a minute——
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “Why use a newspaper headline? If it was something that already happened, you could’ve just told me directly”
[Ting]!
The System responded: [Because you didn’t experience it yourself, the System cannot detect the specific details. The System can only show you the most relevant intel corresponding to the historical event]
Following the System’s explanations, a newspaper published by the Spire Keeper Association appeared on the UI.
Looking at the date, this would be tomorrow’s newspaper…
Which means the event will happen some time between today and tomorrow.
Sure enough, [Doomsday Chronicles] can only extract famous events that everyone knows, it doesn’t contain any sort of hidden information at all.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and checked the headline of the newspaper.
Two lines of text written in the Spire’s language was printed in large letters.
