Chapter 1358: Collaboration

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

So that was the origin of the extinct monster world.

It was originally a parallel world heading towards destruction, with only a relatively small number of strange monsters under the [Chaos] Serpentes King’s lead, prolonging their last breaths.

As for the plague world——-

It had already been completely destroyed by the Plague Apocalypse without a single living being remaining.

In short, both the monster world and plague world were parallel worlds without any hope.

Parallel worlds…

Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts turned a bit, recalling the black spike crab.

That crab once said that parallel worlds were actually a masquerade.

But it also said that it didn’t really understand what was going on.

What a headache.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

There’s not enough information to a.n.a.lyze any sort of truth right now, I’d rather seize the time when [True Luck] is still in effect to think of a solution to resolve the Plague Apocalypse.

“Your Grace, I’m preparing to venture out in order to take a look at the plague world, so I won’t be here for long”

Gu Qing Shan said.

His gaze was focused on the lake of glowing holy light.

From the lake, the [Chaos] Serpentes King’s voice responded: 『 You alone won’t be enough, only our collaboration would allow us to triumph against this Apocalypse 』

Gu Qing Shan was surprised and asked: “Our collaboration?”

『 Indeed, I have regained my powers, so from this point on, I will be able to convert the viruses into pure energy form 』

“Then what about me?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 You’ll be responsible for eating 』the [Chaos] Serpentes King replied.

Eating…

Gu Qing Shan froze and couldn’t help but recall everything that happened while he was turned into the orange cat, literally s.h.i.+vering from the bottom of his heart.

Even now, a certain part of his body still felt frigid.

Do I really need to use this method to save the world?

The [Chaos] Serpentes King continued:

『 Before you appeared, I had personally travelled across the border of the two worlds and entered the plague world, locating the origin of the viruses 』

『 Dragon King of Atrocity Jail, I can sense your resistance and immunity against the viruses; you should be able to do the same as I and infiltrate the center of the infected zone 』

『 But that world is full of various monsters created by the plague, your powers alone would be no match for them. I shall accompany you and eliminate the monsters that attack you 』

Stating so, the holy power within the lake became even purer and vaster as it glowed.

Gu Qing Shan silently sensed that but didn’t say anything in response.

——the [Chaos] Serpentes King, Ouroboros.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t know why the other party was previously a forest, and now a lake, but he could clearly feel the profound power that it wielded.

——–the Saint Spirit world was a mortal world under the rule of the Deities from the Inner Plane, so they were exceedingly powerful.

But in the end, the people of the Saint Spirit world didn’t have the actual power of the Deities, so they couldn’t possibly compare with the [Chaos] Serpentes King Ouroboros.

Perhaps, its support was also part of [True Luck].

“If that’s the case, time doesn’t wait for people, let us proceed immediately” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The lake didn’t answer.

But the entire lake then turned into surging white light, shot into the sky, and finally descended upon Gu Qing Shan’s body.

The intense white glow drifted around him.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[The Chaos Serpentes King Ouroboros has attached itself onto your body]

[This isn’t a harmful state, but rather a combative state]

Gu Qing Shan skimmed through, then silently nodded.

『 My form has been completely destroyed, only my pure will and power have been left, so I need to attach myself to you, I hope you don’t mind 』the [Chaos] Serpentes King spoke.

“Not at all” Gu Qing Shan replied.

『 Very well, let me lead you 』the [Chaos] Serpentes King said.

The white glow flashed and disappeared.

Boom!

An intense gust of wind erupted.

Being clad by the white glow, Gu Qing Shan rapidly flew forward, across mountains and seas, across everything of this world as he headed towards the edge of it.

He couldn’t see anything clearly at all.

With this flight speed, everything around him was warped into arcs as they rapidly moved in the opposite direction, retreating away from him.

About 5 minutes later, their flight gradually slowed down.

The light glow landed outside of a ruined city.

『 This is the border of the two worlds, pay close attention, I will now inform you the location of the virus origin 』

Within the white glow, the [Chaos] Serpentes King said.

An image manifested in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision.

This was a desert enveloped in fog, the gloomy yellow mist had completely obscured everything within the desert, leaving nothing to be seen.

Gu Qing Shan was quickly able to sense where that desert was located.

From this ruined city, they would need to cross an exceedingly long distance in order to finally reach that place.

『 Do you see the direction? 』the [Chaos] Serpentes King asked.

“I got it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

『 I will focus on two things, the first is to turn all the viruses that block our way into ice. You will need to quickly devour them all in order to create antibodies for yourself 』the [Chaos] Serpentes King explained.

“What about the second thing?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 Keep in mind, the plague will surely notice our presence——- or perhaps it has already known of our arrival. It will use the fastest possible speed to try and stop us, so I will be responsible for combat alone, attacking all the monsters by myself 』the [Chaos] Serpentes King replied.

“What do I need to do then?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 You need to make sure not to let any monsters stall you, simply run forward with all your strength——- while fighting I will also continue to convert the viruses, so we will have to rely on you to approach the center of the plague 』the [Chaos] Serpentes King explained.

“No problem”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the sky.

It’s nearly twilight, but there’s still a bit of time left.

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, his body slowly shrank down into an orange cat.

“Meow!”

The orange cat calmly called out.

He began running on all fours, quickly moving across the border of the two worlds.

The ruined city.

As soon as the orange cat entered the ruins, numerous clattering noises resounded from all over the city.

Countless insects appeared out of nowhere.

Their bright red compound eyes were wide open, staring straight at Gu Qing Shan.

The white glow around Gu Qing Shan’s body erupted and radiated in every direction, illuminating all the insects.

Lines of glowing text quickly appeared in the void of s.p.a.ce:

[Currently unleas.h.i.+ng Chaos Divine Skill: Hyaline Slash]

——the [Chaos] Serpentes King had begun to act!

The orange cat’s spirits were high as he uttered a long ‘Meow’!

A second later, he turned into a bolt of lightning that rapidly streaked across the city.

Full speed ahead!

Every once in a while, the orange cat would use [Ground Shrink] to directly traverse a large distance.

With him as the center, the intense white glow swept through everything.

All the insects, ruins, everything that tried to move was slashed into nothingness by the white light.

Wherever the orange cat went, the ground was leveled, and all things were destroyed.

But that wasn’t enough!

There was still a considerable distance from here to the desert!

The orange cat focused only on himself and continued running at full speed.

Like an orange shadow, he was hurriedly traversing the vast and dead land.

From the void of s.p.a.ce, ma.s.ses of snow and ice would occasionally gather into b.a.l.l.s next to the orange cat’s mouth.

The orange cat ate them all without hesitation.

[You’ve gained resistance against the limb mutation virus]

[You’ve gained resistance against the bone liquidation virus]

[You’ve gained resistance against the blood death virus]

…

Within the holy glow, the orange cat continued his rapid advance, quickly making it through the city and continued towards the ca.n.a.l.

Behind him, the ruined city had been completely erased.

——-this was the power of the Awaiting, [Chaos] Serpentes King.

「 Stop… Or… Die! 」

A furious roar abruptly resounded from the depths of the ca.n.a.l.

It came from a completely rotten giant whose eyes were filled with violent killing intent.

He swiftly pursued the orange cat.

The holy glow around the orange cat’s body surged forward in a flash, striking the giant with a single flicker.

Ridiculously fast! Completely undefendable!

While speeding forward, the orange cat silently made that evaluation.

Being struck by the white light, the giant was instantly forced to stop.

He stood still for a few moments before his body was completely erased within the blindingly divine light.

The orange cat continued like this for another 10 miles.

A monster whose body was filled with spikes suddenly appeared.

It was about several stories in height.

——the aura it gave off was already comparable to Gu Qing Shan’s aura.

And then there was also a seemingly endless wave of monsters behind this monster.

Various infected creatures with varying sizes occupied the land and their visions.

Against this number and quality of infected creatures, the orange cat couldn’t even find a place to stand.

This wasn’t all, the sky was also turning prematurely dark.

A humanoid monster with a pair of bright red boney wings on its back was quickly approaching them from afar.

Behind him, countless infected creatures had completely blocked out the sky.

All of these infected creatures were staring at the orange cat with killing intent.

All of their eyes were glowing red, their expressions filled with the desire to murder.

At this point, with so many monsters blocking out the sky, not even light could peer through to illuminate the earth.

The orange cat didn’t stop.

He simply continued to run forward, straight into the ma.s.ses of darkness.

Another line of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[Currently unleas.h.i.+ng the Chaos Divine Skill: Cyan Flames]

The white glow around the orange cat’s body trembled and manifested cl.u.s.ters of flames that swept across the world like a storm.

All the infected were wiped out.
