Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

In the mist, everything seemed to stagnate.

A bee flapped its wings and stopped a few inches above a flower, ready to fall.

Standing in the middle of the garden, Gu Qingshan, holding a sword in one hand and a rice cooker in the other, tentatively said:

"This fog...seems familiar?"

In the mist, a female voice sounded: "Of course I am familiar. You haven't seen me like this."

Xie Shuangyan appeared from the mist.

"Why are you here?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"I am the charity ambassador of the League of Nations. I just donated 300 schools and 20 churches to the Holy Nation not long ago." Xie Shuangyan said.

"So they welcome you?"

"The emperor and the church welcome me-after all, I also have a huge reputation among the people."

"Then why do we need this fog?"

"In order to conceal one's identity—"

Xie Shuangyan said, snapping his fingers casually.

In the void behind Gu Qingshan, a battle flag suddenly appeared quietly, emitting a faint brilliance.

A line of fireflies quickly appeared before his eyes:

"You found a certain apostle of the Four Saint Era, she is proving her identity."

Gu Qingshan finished scanning with a glance and heaved a sigh of relief.

He put away the rice cooker and said with a smile: "It turned out to be his own, why didn't you say it earlier."

"It's not that I don't believe you, but once the secret is told, it may be leaked. In that case, my safety becomes a problem." Xie Shuangyan said.

"Why come to see me at this moment? Do you know I will show up?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Yes, you are constantly changing everything on the main timeline. This will eventually attract demons." Xie Shuangyan said.

"They have just turned into the Demon King Sequence, it is not easy to come." Gu Qingshan said.

"Don't be careless-in the future, only you will delay their victory, but they have never been defeated once in a war." Xie Shuangyan said.

"——I still want to save the king of the holy country." Gu Qingshan said.

"Do you know the details of the Holy Church?"

"...I don't know, I heard Su Xueer once said that the pope seems to be from Kirishima."

"She did stay in Kirishima for a while, but she actually had another identity."

"What is it?"

"It's the spy of Purgatory in this long river of time."

"Purgatory...I have some acquaintances," Gu Qingshan said.

"Don't worry about purgatory, and don't provoke them - in fact, what I want to say is that our battle with demons is at a critical juncture. Even if you want to save the emperor, try not to let Purgatory receive any information." Xie Shuangyu Exhorted.

"Understood, they are peepers hiding in the dark." Gu Qingshan said.

"Yes, I came to tell you about this. Now that the matter has been explained clearly, I will leave soon." Xie Shuangyan said.

"Are you not going to help?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"I can't reveal my identity-after all, I don't have any self-protection power yet. If I am discovered, there is only one dead end." Xie Shuangyan said.

She reached out and tossed gently.

An afterimage flew out of her hand and flew in front of Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan took it, but it was a card.

Xie Shuangyan said: "I have been weak for too long, and only this card is left on me. Now lend it to you-after the matter is over, it will come back to me."

Gu Qingshan said: "Thank you."

Xie Shuangyan nodded, slowly backed away, and gradually disappeared into the mist.

The fog cleared.

Gu Qingshan looked down at the card in his hand.

I saw a woman painted on the card. She poured the quaint water bottle in her hand downwards, and a stream of water suddenly turned into a bright, endless river, extending to the far end.

Lines of small fireflies suddenly appeared on the God of War interface:

"You got the card: Infinite Grip."

"Activate this card and immediately enter your card draw."

"——You can continue to draw cards until you get a card that best suits the current situation, and this link will automatically end.

Gu Qingshan watched for a while, then put the earth sword away and activated the card directly.

The entire card suddenly turned into a soft halo, attached to his right hand.

A line of small fireflies quickly jumped out:

"Entering the card draw, please draw."

Gu Qingshan stretched out his hand to draw in the void, and suddenly drew out a handful of cards.

He spread his hands on his hands and looked at it one by one, only to see that there were more than twenty cards in this hand.

The colorful cards seem to come from different decks, including various types such as melee, status, range, exploration, tracking, concealment, prediction, causality, law, and paradox.

Gu Qingshan looked at the card in his hand and shook his head.

-None of these cards are suitable for use at the moment.

He threw the cards away, and they immediately disappeared into the void.

Gu Qingshan continued to draw cards.

This time more than 30 cards were drawn.

He read it carefully and picked a card from it.

This card shows a man wearing a formal suit and a mask. He is knocking on a door, and the hand behind him is holding a bouquet of flowers and a dagger.

"Card: a destined visitor."

"Causality card."

"Activate this card, and you will automatically gain a convincing identity so that you can accomplish what you are about to accomplish."

Gu Qingshan stared at the card and sighed:

"This is also called'no power to protect yourself','weak for too long'? It's really too modest."

He directly activated this card.

Bang!

A mist flashed.

He directly became a middle-aged man with a big belly, with a small beard, a black top hat on his head, wearing appropriate holy country noble costumes, and holding a short scepter.

Gu Qingshan closed his eyes and counted his breath, and quickly acquired a memory.

He leaned on the scepter and walked forward along the path in the garden, and finally entered the palace.

A guard greeted him immediately, gave him a surprised look, and saluted:

"Master Earl."

Gu Qingshan nodded and asked: "Where is our Majesty?"

Another voice sounded: "Originally you said you wanted to go back, so your majesty left the chess and card room-didn't you go back?"

Gu Qingshan turned to look, only to see that this was a close attendant.

He was responsible for many things around the emperor.

"Ah, just now the subordinates said that everything is done, there is no need to let me take a trip myself." Gu Qingshan said in an earl's tone.

"That's the case, please come with me. Your Majesty is drinking tea and by the way meet a few nobles who have been waiting for a long time." The attendant said.

"Excuse me."

Gu Qingshan followed the close attendant and walked slowly on the long corridor.

——He is now a powerful figure in the empire, the emperor’s growing up partner, a loyal confidant of the royal family, and the great earl with real power.

Gu Qingshan looked around at random, and quickly noticed that there were several high-level professionals hidden in the entire palace.

These people are almost all of the world's top level, and if they are seriously compared, they are not as strong as the three generals of the Federation.

——Fortunately, I have this identity as a cover, otherwise it would be really a bit troublesome to use my level of Qi refining at the seventh level.

After not getting far, a guard trot over and whispered: "The Pope is here, and I want to see your Majesty."

The magistrate nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go and tell your majesty."

The guard went.

The servant near took Gu Qingshan all the way to the main hall of the palace.

The emperor was sitting on the throne and talking to people, and those people knelt on the ground with an expression of excitement and glory on their faces.

Gu Qingshan showed a little disgust on his face, pointed his finger at those people faintly, and then looked at the emperor.

The emperor laughed helplessly when he saw his behavior.

——This earl hates the little nobles in the country most. He usually prefers to walk around the road and never say hello to them.

"Okay, go down and receive the reward." The emperor waved.

"Thank your majesty!" The few little noblemen kowtow again and again, then turned and retreated.

They passed by Gu Qingshan, quickly recognized him, and said in amazement, "Master Earl."

A group of people hurriedly saluted again.

With Hexi's smile on Gu Qingshan's face, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't be polite."

Those people faithfully practiced the ceremony, and finally retreated.

Gu Qingshan immediately jumped up and said loudly: "My Majesty, why do you want to see these mud legs, they will pollute the air in the palace, and their crude words and deeds will overshadow the elegance and nobility here."

The emperor laughed, pointing at him and shaking his head, as if he had nothing to say about his temper.

The court officer approached and reported: "Your Majesty, the Pope wants to see you."

The smile on the emperor's face disappeared, he took a few breaths in his chest, and frowned, "She said that she is coming to see me at this time, so let her come."

"Yes." The attendant stepped back.

The emperor looked at Gu Qingshan again and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to play the game. The poisonous woman is going to find something again. My hunch tells me that she has a lot of problems."

Gu Qingshan waved his scepter and said bitterly, "Isn't it? The crazy women of the church are really disgusting!"

——The Pope is coming soon.

That said, the assassination is about to happen.

But in the entire palace, how many people did she buy?How did the emperor avoid this assassination?How can I not expose myself?

A series of thoughts flashed through Gu Qingshan's mind.

First of all, it is certain that the emperor was really killed by the pope.

Since the pope has chosen this time and let the earl she plays happen to leave, it proves that in this main hall, she is sure to kill the emperor of the holy kingdom.

In other words--

This place has become her home court.

Gu Qingshan looked around and saw that the guards were standing in their place, keeping their eyes open, guarding the imperial court.

Who is the pope?

Or are they all pope’s people?

He coughed slightly and saluted the emperor:

"His Majesty."

"Ok?"

"I just got a good thing recently."

"Oh? What kind of spell book? Or gems?"

"Neither, it's this—"

Gu Qingshan reached out and took out an old rice cooker.

"This seems to be an electric rice cooker?" the emperor asked.

"Look carefully." Gu Qingshan smiled.

He handed the rice cooker to the guard aside.

The guard went to the emperor.

"There is no need to detect it, I already have a foreboding that it does not have any danger, let me see what it is." The emperor laughed.

The guard presented the rice cooker.

The emperor was about to examine the rice cooker carefully when a voice suddenly sounded outside:

"The Pope is here!"

A woman wearing a white robe and glowing all over slowly walked into the main hall of the palace.

Above her head, a bright halo hovered out of thin air, emitting bursts of sacred light, strong or dark, making her look like an angel.

She first took a deep look at Gu Qingshan.

——Why is this person still here?

"I have seen your Majesty." The Pope said.

"Well, what do you do?" the emperor asked.

The Pope said: "There is an important thing to tell——"

Hum!!!

The rice cooker suddenly trembled violently, causing the void to emit waves.

In an instant, the emperor connected the rice cooker disappeared.

The pope was silent.

--What's happening here?

Is the emperor aware of it?

It shouldn't. He made perfect preparations. He should never know about the assassination.

The Pope calmed down and looked at Gu Qingshan and said: "My Lord Earl, do you know what happened just now? What about the Emperor?"

"He has a stomachache and went to the toilet. This is the latest way to go to the toilet. There is no need to queue." Gu Qingshan smiled.

"that--"

"Wait a moment, I'll see how he pulls it, and I will call you later."

After Gu Qingshan finished speaking, he strode out of the hall.

Seeing his walking speed, he seemed to be running away. He quickly turned the corner and was never seen again.

The pope's face sank and looked at the guards.

"The rice cooker! The rice cooker was given to the emperor!" a guard said quickly.

"……wrong!"

The pope's figure flashed, and he quickly chased Gu Qingshan.
