Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 407 - Time Stanch



Chapter 407: Time Stanch

Right as the girl drew her fate divination card.

The red-robed old man did something.

He stepped forward and pressed his hand onto a pattern on the ground.

A red light began to spread from the pattern, moving along the ground.

Almost in the blink of an eye, all the patterns on the floor lit up.

It was now that the girl noticed her own dead body in the card.

The hall began to shake.

The light erupted like water flow being forced back upstream, sweeping through the place.

The light then slowly condense to form a faint figure.

It was the figure of a twin-winged person.

Just by standing their, the person was emitting unimaginable power, striking fear in the hearts of everyone there.

“Ancestor, kill the others, use the Divine Skill, now!” the red-robed old man hurriedly spoke.

The faint light figure slightly nodded and blew from its mouth.

A typhoon began to fill the great hall.

“Angel!”

“What are you doing!”

“Us as well? Damn it, you went back on the oath!”

“Despicable swine!”

The commanders of the 4-realm allied army roared both in fright and fear.

Before they could even move a finger, their flesh began to melt away.

Not too long later, all these leaders turned into different kinds of skeletons as they fell to the ground.

The girl drew two more cards, quickly formed a blue and red light that merged to become a large shield that protected her.

The typhoon wind crashed into the shield, letting out tiny screeching noises, the sound of metal hitting each other.

Only the old man and the girl were left alive in the hall.

The girl appeared surprised, saying: “A True Divinity’s spirit, but it can only act within this hall, all I have to do is leave”

She quickly drew more cards.

In that time, the figure made of light had already gathered enough power.

It suddenly scattered into tiny sparks of light.

All the light stopped in midair.

The girl had already held a card in her hand, only needing a split second to activate it.

The girl’s eyes widened, as if she was in absolute disbelief.

All her movements stopped.

Her expression, actions, voice, everything stopped.

Everything in the hall was stopped.

The only one still capable of moving was the red-robed old man.

He exhaled deeply as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Quickly walking in front of the girl, he glanced at the card in her hand.

Only a split second later and it would’ve escaped her hand.

“How dangerous, luckily we succeeded”

The red-robed old man had an expression of fear in hindsight.

Kicking the girl to the ground, he took out an axe with a long handle from somewhere.

“It’s good, the meddlesome bunch of all 4 worlds are now dealt with”

“The ruler of the 6 worlds should be me, not an outsider like you”

The axe was swung up and quickly descended on the young girl’s neck.

Just as the girl’s neck was about to be severed from her body, a loud noise came.

Clang!

A sword appeared literally inches away from the girl’s next.

It was a chilling, slender longsword.

The very moment it appeared, the sword had blocked the red-robed old man’s swing.

“That’s not possible!” the red-robed old man screamed.

The very next moment.

The old man had tried to attack with his axe again.

But sword phantoms had already started to erupt from the sword.

These sword phantoms flowed like a torrent sweeping through the Heaven realm, destroying everything and every structure in its path.

A tsunami made from sword phantoms.

The red-robed old man was quickly swept away by it, disappearing without a trace.

The entire building was leveled by this attack.

Secret Art, [Torrent]

A move that Gu Qing Shan knows, used by Shannu.

After a while, everything returned to normal.

The girl who was the Devil King stood up, but ignored the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

Instead she was looking at the Devil King Warden Rod with a strange expression.

As if she was seeing something she just couldn’t believe.

“After 10,000 years, finally there is hope”

The girl muttered, then couldn’t help herself wiping away her tears.

A card flew from the book of cards into her hand.

Placing the card onto the Devil King Warden Rod, she whispered: “Release restraints”

Instantly, the scene and the girl disappeared without a trace.

Gu Qing Shan regained his freedom of movement.

The Devil King Warden Rod flew out from his body, floating in the air.

Invisible distortions started to appear.

These distortions surrounded the Devil King Warden Rod and quickly formed the frame of a card.

A card depicting the Devil King Warden Rod silently hovered in the air.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword then returned to Gu Qing Shan.

Shannu appeared, cautiously looking around.

“What happened just now? The old man seemed to have used some sort of secret sacrificial ritual to activating something dangerous, I didn’t know what happened afterwards” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“The True Divinity used a Divine Skill: [Time Stanch]” Shannu answered.

“[Time Stanch]?”

“That’s right, from the flow of time, the True Divinity took out a fraction of a second, no creature is able to move forward or backwards within that fraction of time, only retaining their state of stillness”

“What happened after that?”

“When I thought of why we came here, I couldn’t help myself from saving the Devil King”

“If the flew of time was stopped, how come you were able to move?”

“Gongzi, you’ve forgotten, no Law is able to affect me”

Gu Qing Shan then recalled Shannu’s Thaumaturgy [Law Breaker].

If that’s the case, nothing can ever restrain Shannu.

So [Law Breaker] was this powerful.

“It’s fortunate that you were there, otherwise I couldn’t think of anyone that can resolve the situation just now” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

[Time Stanch].

A Divine Skill that acts upon the Law being activated so suddenly is almost impossible to solve.

Shannu smiled: “It’s because gongzi’s swordsmanship is wonderful, all of your skills are so strong, otherwise my attack alone wouldn’t have been able to do this much”

Gu Qing Shan was glad to hear that, asking: “Which one of them do you like the most?”

Shannu hesitantly answered: “I like [Seven Stars Flowing Dragon], but I’m afraid I might not be able to use it well”

“What is there to be afraid of, you’ve already gained all of my skills and experience, just try it out next time” Gu Qing Shan encouraged her.

He looked up at the Devil King Warden Rod hovering in the sky.

“Let’s not talk about it now, I’ll take it down first”

He jumped up to grab the rod.

Shannu stood on the ground and didn’t watch him.

She seems to be thinking about something.

Her original indifferent expression was already nowhere to be seen, instead replaced by a passionate and excited one.

You could almost hear Shannu mumbling: “Seven stars turn into a dragon, riding the dragon to fly in the sky… I really want to try it once to see what kind of feeling that would be…”

In the air, Gu Qing Shan had already taken the Devil King Warden Rod card.

As he took the card, the scenery around him slowly disappeared again.

Gu Qing Shan’s vision suddenly blurred.

The very next moment, he found himself still sitting at the bar from before.

The black-robed man sat across from him, still holding the large card depicting the war in hand.

Gu Qing Shan pulled his hand back from the card.

“How long has it been?” he asked.

“Three seconds” the black-robed man answered.

“How long ago was this war?”

“10,000 years ago”

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan gasped.

“I seemed to have passed” he said.

“You did, you’ve gained the authority to use the Devil King Warden Rod, she already gave permission as well”

“She?”

“The one you all call Devil King”

“Just who is she?”

The black-robed man went silent for a bit, then spoke: “Since you’ve passed the test, you have the right to know our names”

“She’s called Soft Note, I am Haze”

The black-robed man continued: “How do I say this, Soft Note likes to study the unknown, that’s why she came to your Samsara world”

“At first, she would periodically contact me”

“But one day, I instead received her three cards asking for help”

“Cards asking for help?”

“The ones you saw, Great Ghost General, Asura King and Devil King Warden Rod”

“You probably don’t understand it, but this is something only the most exceptional card users are able to accomplish, turning their most trusted allies into cards, sending them through space to report to me”
