Chapter 1063: Noticed!
Translator: La0o9
In the darkness of the void, an asteroid quickly drew an arc as it flew.
This asteroid was extremely fast, quickly traveling through over a million worlds before it swiftly reached a grey, barren, unremarkable world.
The asteroid landed on the ground of this world without a sound and caused no earthquake.
——-the Demon Dragon stood where the asteroid landed.
He released his overpowering presence and began talking to the world itself.
「 Deity of [Chaos], your excellency Soul Shrieker, I know you are hiding here 」
No response.
The world remained silent.
The Demon Dragon continued without changing his expression: 「 You can stay silent, but when I destroy this world, you will have to come out to see me 」
Another breath’s worth of time later.
A malicious voice resounded throughout this world:
『「 Demon Dragon! What do you want? To benefit from the crippled? 』」
The Demon Dragon laughed and replied: 「 Not at all, you are the Deity who brought about the Era of [Chaos], the will of [Chaos] itself listens to your every order, I have no intention of killing you 」
The voice paused briefly before asking again: 『「 Then what are you here for? To laugh at my pathetic state? 』」
The Demon Dragon shook his head: 「 Let’s stop the pointless probing and get to something more practical 」
He opened his palm to show the three coins and said:
「 Gu Qing Shan is currently collecting the three coins, looking to return to the past and save an [Order] 」
The Soul Shrieker’s voice abruptly raised: 『「 How do you know about that, speak! 』」
「 Listen, I’m not afraid of you, but to express my sincerity, I shall continue 」
The Demon Dragon laughed and continued to speak: 「 He asked me for the whereabouts of the coin himself. After that, while you’re hastily chasing after him, I had arranged for people to drain the power of the Angel of Condemnation Card in order to briefly stall his progress——– however, as you know, he is one with numerous scheming thoughts, if you want to ally yourself with me and kill him, we most likely won’t have much time to talk 」
「『 Why should I believe you? You must show me more sincerity 」』the Soul Shrieker doubtfully said.
The Demon Dragon indifferently answered: 「 I can tell you this: I know the point in time that Gu Qing Shan wanted to travel to—– the moment of the Spire Association’s destruction 」
The Soul Shrieker fell silent.
A few moments later.
The ground began trembling.
The world itself broke part.
As Demon Dragon looked down, he was a bit moved.
Underneath the surface of this world, from the shallowest spot to the deepest visibly spot, there was nothing but corpses here.
——corpses of Professionists.
This entire world had been emptied from the inside out, used to store an innumerable number of corpses.
Two figures flew out from inside.
A six-armed monster with a half-man-half-woman face.
As well as,
An old lady whose body was full of black tentacles.
The Demon Dragon looked at the Soul Shrieker and felt a bit surprised.
This monster wasn’t heavily injured like his information suggested at all, in fact, it seemed to have nearly healed.
Glancing over the corpses inside this world, the Demon Dragon slowly understood.
He turned to the old lady and asked: 「 Who is this? 」
The Soul Shrieker replied: 『「 The second Deity of the Era of [Chaos] 』」
Demon Dragon fell into thought.
The Soul Shrieker continued: 「『 Demon Dragon, what exactly do you want? 」』
The Demon Dragon replied: 「 This time, I’m here to help you 」
The Soul Shrieker coldly laughed: 『「 Help me? How ridiculous, why would I need your help? 』」
The Demon Dragon calmly replied: 「 I will give you the coins, I can even prepare the three unique powers necessary to use the coins for you. I am willing to even come with you to kill Gu Qing Shan and prevent him from saving that [Order] 」
The cold smirk on the Soul Shrieker’s face faded.
I’ve just failed to kill him…
Gu Qing Shan stole the twin swords Heaven and Earth from me.
Gu Qing Shan played me.
Gu Qing Shan is carrying the [Demon King Order], the one last nail necessary to secure the foundation of the Era of [Chaos].
Anything else was meaningless to it, but when it came to Gu Qing Shan, the Soul Shrieker couldn’t help but feel serious.
It stared closely at the Demon Dragon and questioned in its male voice: 「 What do you want from me? 」
The Demon Dragon took out his yaksha mask for the other party to observe.
The Demon Dragon stated very solemnly: 「 I represent the will of the parallel world, here to ally myself with the Era of [Chaos] 」
「 For what reason are we allies? 」
「 To triumph against the Eternal Abyss, to destroy all [Orders], and naturally, to kill Gu Qing Shan 」
「 Very well, we have a deal! 」
…
At another location.
An airship with the Bramble Bird Kingdom insignia was flying through the space vortex.
Zhang Ying Hao recalled: “At the time, I had just been dumped by the President’s daughter and drowned myself in alcohol every day”
Ye Fei Li recalled: “At the time, I did nothing but play games all day so my wife punished me by making me kneel on a washing board”
Laura recalled: “At the time, I was staying in the Bramble Bird Kingdom without going anywhere”
Boss recalled: “At the time, I was hibernating”
Gu Qing Shan clapped his hand and said: “Great, as long as you weren’t at the scene when the Soul Shrieker attacked the Spire Association, there would be no worries of running into yourselves”
“You said that we would die if we met our past selves?” Ye Fei Li curiously asked.
“Hm, trust me, you will definitely die” Gu Qing Shan sincerely nodded.
Zhang Ying Hao looked at him and doubtfully asked: “…Why… do you seem so sure of that?”
“It’s all in the past, there’s no need to mention it”
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively.
Boss chuckled: “How interesting, when do we leave?”
Gu Qing Shan took out the Angel of Condemnation Card, looked at Little Dusk and replied: “She’s still sleeping, so we would need to wait until she wakes up”
Laura peeked her little head over to look at the girl depicted in the Card and curiously asked: “When will she wake up?”
“I’m not sure either, we just need to wait” Gu Qing Shan worriedly replied.
He looked at the Card again.
The Little Dusk in the Card was pale, sleeping on her side while using her arm as her pillow.
…wait a minute.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the War God UI, only to see a line of text being displayed here:
[Angel of Condemnation, Little Dusk. Lapis Card, drained of power, extremely weakened, unconscious]
Drained of power.
Extremely weakened.
What exactly did she go through?
It was the Demon Dragon that hid her within the Holy Church of Fate, so this must have something to do with the Demon Dragon.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Boss and asked: “How’s the Demon Dragon?”
“The Demon Dragon’s head had already vanished. Seems like its hibernation is already over——– how unexpectedly fast” Boss replied.
“Can we actually trust it?” Ye Fei Li chimed in and asked.
“”Of course not!”” Gu Qing Shan and Boss replied in unison.
Gu Qing Shan explained: “At the time, it was fearful of Boss’ power, and it only had a single head left, so it didn’t resist, but there was no guarantee if it would do the same later on”
Boss also explained with a very solemn expression: “The Demon Dragon is a powerful Soul Artifact created by the Bygone Era humans, the only thing it respects is power. At the beginning, it brought numerous coins trying to pledge its allegiance to the Abyss, but the Abyss simply didn’t care. It went through plenty of suffering and hardship before it obtained the power of the Abyss”
“Coins?” Gu Qing Shan sharply asked.
“Indeed, the Bygone Era humans obtained many coins, the power of which was capable of reversing time—— the three in your hands are only a portion of them” Boss explained.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled his conversation with Lin before going into the final moments of the Age of Old.
…
At the time, I said: “I remember that in order to activate the three coins, you needed the power of three unique entities; and that humanity only passed three of them down”
Lin replied: 「 Back in the Bygone Era, you humans used a lot more than just three coins in the Abyss. What contradictory creatures you are. While you dread the Abyss, you also crave its Eternal power, how could there possibly be a great power that doesn’t cost a similarly great price? 」
…
Recalling that, Gu Qing Shan abruptly exclaimed: “Oh no!”
The group was surprised.
“What’s the matter?” Laura asked.
“I’ll explain later—–”
Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth, held the Angel of Condemnation Card in his hand, and carefully observed it.
In the Card, Little Dusk was depicted closing her eyes, lying motionlessly on her side while using her arm as a pillow.
What’s unnatural here?
As Gu Qing Shan observed the Card, his gaze fell to Little Dusk’s hand.
One finger on the hand of the arm that she was laying on naturally curled up, slightly pointing at the hairclip on her head.
Gu Qing Shan followed her finger to look at her hair clip.
The hair clip was made of metal, forged into the shape of two angels who stood with their backs to one another.
Two angels…
This looks so familiar, where did I see this before?
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a short while before finally recalling a certain thing.
He focused his mind and abruptly declared: “Envoy of Condemnation, Gu Qing Shan, requesting activation of [Duo Image] mode!”
As soon as he finished, a line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[To activate Duo Image mode, you will need to expend 1000 Soul Points, do you wish to do so?]
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Yes!”
The hair clip on Little Dusk’s head abruptly turned into bright light and vanished without a trace.
So it really was the manifestation of the [Duo Image] Card!
This is a Card unique to Envoys of Condemnation, something that only Little Dusk and I know about.
More lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Unique Card: Duo Image, has been activated]
[Envoy of Condemnation – Gu Qing Shan attempting to synchronize]
[Angel of Condemnation – Little Dusk attempting to synchronize]
[Synchronization complete]
[Duo Image mode activated]
Lines of glowing text appeared to appear.
[Duo Image combat mode: During this combat mode, the two Envoys of Condemnation may instantly share all Cards and combat experience with using Cards with one another]
[You’ve obtained the authority to use the Card deck of the Lapis grade Card: Angel of Condemnation – Little Dusk]
Gu Qing Shan skimmed through these lines of text and muttered: “Come, Little Dusk, what exactly did you want to tell me?”
He reached his hand into the void of space and pulled.
He drew a single Card.
The Card depicted an old phonograph.
——-this was Little Dusk’s Card, drawn by Gu Qing Shan during the [Duo Image] combat mode!
Gu Qing Shan tossed the Card out.
Poof!
The phonograph manifested in front of everyone.
Little Dusk’s voice sounded from phonograph:
[Gu Qing Shan, I don’t know if this will be useful, but my power is continuously being drained away and I can’t think of any other method. I just hope you will be able to hear this]
[The Demon Dragon knows that you wanted to save Lady Darksea]
[He had prepared another set of coins and had many of his subordinates to look out for the Soul Shrieker’s location, most likely in order to ally himself with the Soul Shrieker]
[I think that he wants to return to that point in the past, waiting to kill you in an ambush as soon as you appear!]
[Gu Qing Shan, be very careful!]
Poof!
As soon as that message finished, the phonograph turned back into Card form and returned to Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
