Chapter 1578: [Mystery of Apocalypse Equal]

Gu Qing Shan took another look at the ma.s.s of light in his hand and gradually became more cautious.

I didn’t expect it would be something of this level.

“Why give it to me?” he asked again.

Shroud smiled and told him in a whisper: “Little Wei was the one who helped me awaken from my past nightmare, disregarding any emotions, I still owe her, so I have to save her”

Gu Qing Shan looked at him and waited for him to continue.

Shroud raised his hand and drew six lines in the air.

The six Sealing Token instantly resonated with the lines and gave off a faint resonating sound.

Shroud explained: “In the past when I foresaw myself being defeated by the Apocalypse and would no longer be able to guard the frozen corpse, I had forged these Sealing Tokens and erased that part of my own memory”

“Thanks to you retrieving these six Sealing Tokens, Reneedol was unable to release the frozen corpse”

“Now, we can finally undo the seal and find out where I had hidden the frozen corpse in the past”

A thin line of blood appeared around Shroud’s body.

The line of blood slowly glowed with radiance, then tangled itself with the dark flames and began to boil intensely.

Shroud’s body began to shatter.

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly shouted: “Hey, what’s going on here? What’s happening to you?”

Shroud explained: “There’s only one final issue”

“When I became one with the frozen corpse in the past, I was only able to rely on the seal to control it in the simplest manner, using an incredibly clumsy method to use its power”

Seven tentacle-like strands of hair appeared around him.

——they were the seven strands of hair that they had retrieved after killing Reneedol!

“What exactly are you doing right now?”

Gu Qing Shan drew the Heaven sword, preparing to save him at a moment’s notice.

Shroud shook his head: “There’s no need to worry. Ever since my loss at the Apocalypse’s hand during the Age of Immemorial, I had thought for countless years to come up with a way to thoroughly utilize the frozen corpse’s power to triumph against the Apocalypse”

“In the last few years, I came up with a certain [Mystery]”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “A [Mystery]? What kind of [Mystery]?”

“This [Mystery] is completely unrelated to the normal Laws of Reality, it’s uniquely related to the frozen corpse, which I had named [Mystery of Apocalypse Equal]” Shroud explained.

His body had completely disappeared, leaving only his voice in the void of s.p.a.ce:

“Once I activate this [Mystery], I would fall into a state of death similar to the frozen corpse. Since I was originally the seal to its power, when I manage to completely put the frozen corpse’s body together again, I would be able to take advantage of that to fuse and enter its body. From that point, I would have complete control over the frozen corpse, trigger its potential, and exert more power than I had ever been able to before”

“You mean, you’re going to seal yourself away now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“That’s right, I will enter a state between being sealed and being dead. I will be completely unconscious, only capable of giving you directions to where the corpse was being hidden———”

“Only when I obtain all the portions in the seal again would I be able to reawaken and thoroughly become the frozen corpse itself”

“In this state, I might even be able to go head to head against an Unfathomable Apocalypse!”

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but feel delighted.

If Shroud could defeat even an Unfathomable Apocalypse, what else would be able to destroy the living beings of the s.p.a.ce Vortex?

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

Shroud’s voice resounded from the void of s.p.a.ce: “You need to take the object of my manifestation—– I’m not sure what it will be either, but I know it’ll manifest after my death. It will absorb the power of the six Sealing Tokens to help you find the other parts of the frozen corpse and remove their seals”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “If I find all the body parts of the frozen corpse that are hidden by the six Sealing Tokens——”

Shroud continued: “Then I will reawaken as the true frozen corpse”

“Got it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Remember, my death manifestation is me itself, you need to carry it with you at every moment, as it relies on your Law of Death power in order to exist. Once it leaves you, I will disappear for good” Shroud cautiously told him.

“I understand!” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Then… I leave the rest to you…” Shroud said with a discontinuous voice.

A flash of bright light appeared.

The seven tentacle-like strands of hair enveloped the light and fused with the six Sealing Tokens and slowly manifested into an object.

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

I really couldn’t imagine that Shroud would be willing to go to such lengths to win against an Unfathomable Apocalypse.

I need to carry his death manifestation with me, ensuring that nothing wrong happens to it.

As the light faded away, the death manifestation became clear.

It was——

A dog’s head.

A black dog’s head hovered in the air, seriously staring at Gu Qing Shan.

It looked like it was ready to save the world.

When Gu Qing Shan touched it and took a more careful look, he noticed that it wasn’t an actual dog’s head, but rather a dog-head mask.

Strands of power of Death radiated from his body and were absorbed by the dog-head mask.

——Shroud had to remain like this in order to sustain his existence, or he would die!

Gu Qing Shan sighed and muttered to himself: “Even while you’re dead, you still remember to turn into a dog, huh…”

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

[Bell Ringer Dog Battlemask]

[Product of Apocalypse h.o.m.ology, currently in a faux death state, it has the following abilities:]

[Frozen Seal Nose: After fusing with the six Sealing Tokens, it can sense the frozen corpse’s buried locations]

[Mystery of Apocalypse Equal: By wearing this, you will not be crushed by the frozen corpse’s presence, nor attacked by its corpse parts, normal Apocalypses will also not attack you]

[Temporary Manifestation: Whenever you obtain one of the frozen corpse’s parts, you will immediately be capable of using that part’s power. Specifics are unknown]

[Awaken: When you obtain all the frozen corpse parts hidden by the Sealing Tokens, they will awaken together with Shroud turning into the new Secret Apocalypse]

[Power Parasite: You will need to wear or carry it in your hands to allow it to absorb your power of Death, thus maintaining its existence]

Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through it.

He held up the dog-head mask, then thought for a long while before hanging it on his shoulder.

——it’s too ridiculous to wear it over my head, that would make the enemy laugh to death.

“Huh?”

Gu Qing Shan exclaimed with a faint whisper.

As soon as he secured the dog-head mask, he started sensing something.

It’s as if something else is resonating with me in a place that isn’t too far away.

——seems like that is where the first burial ground is.

I need to head over there to excavate the frozen corpse’s parts!

But there are also several other matters that I need to attend to right away.

The Light Chaser ring had been drained of energy, so I need to find Technological items to recharge it and see what other secrets it holds.

Other than that——

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze to the table.

Sitting inside the sword box, the fragments of the Delimitation Divine Sword were motionless.

—-I need Soul Points in order to communicate with the sword spirit.

Alright.

The sword, the ring, the corpse, I need to think of a solution for all of them by myself.

He casually dispelled the formation in the room to let the sounds from outside echo in.

He slowly pondered while listening to the various noises outside.

Right now.

I’m alone again.

Fighting by myself without a comrade.

For the sake of survival and protection, I’m working overtime again.

——even though I have one extra dog head, there’s no one else who can accompany me and fight together.

As Gu Qing Shan realized this, he couldn’t help but sigh.

I need to be twice as careful now.

——–then, should I first go find the frozen corpse parts, think of a way to collect Soul Points, or to recharge energy for the Light Chaser ring?

This location is close to the Doomsday Necropolis, which is unfamiliar territory to me.

Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and took out something from his chest.

The colorful rooster statue.

Even under unfamiliar circ.u.mstances, it would always be able to provide some good information.

Looking at it for a bit, Gu Qing Shan shook his head and put it back.

The expenditure of Soul Points during [Distortion] was too great, I don’t have enough Soul Points to ask the rooster anything.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and casually took out a bottle of liquor from his ring , popped the cap open, then slowly drank.

The liquor was both refres.h.i.+ng and cool. As expected, Anna knows my tastes very well and picked out only the best.

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze to his hand.

The Light Chaser ring is sitting at my index finger.

The alcohol ring is being worn on my ring finger.

Wait a minute——

Could Anna have given this ring to me just because she saw the Light Chaser ring?

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

I’m not actually fighting by myself right now.

Shroud is currently guiding me to the frozen corpse, and whenever I obtain a part of it, I’d be able to use one corresponding power.

Anna has given me plenty of drinks to maintain a refreshed mind in combat.

Su Xue Er had also done everything she could to help me.

And also——

There was another ring sitting on his middle finger.

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze to it.

Following Gu Qing Shan’s gaze, the ring flickered briefly.

Lines of glowing text appeared next to his middle finger:

[The Ring of the Bramble Bird King has noticed your thoughts]

[It is telling you:]

[Under the current circ.u.mstances, it can help you put up your middle finger to anything and everything]

[——and you only need to enjoy the joy of using money]

Gu Qing Shan was stunned, then chuckled to himself.

How could I forget our great and adorable Empress Laura?

That’s right.

She is also fighting by my side at this very moment—— using her power that all living beings dream of.

I’ve never been alone!

Gu Qing Shan tilted his head up to finish the bottle in one gulp, then put it back down and left his room.
