With the sound of the gunshot, Gu Qing Shan suddenly turned his head.
The silver metal soldier had just become solid again from a concealed state.
An intense light flashed across the void of space for a split second.
The Lord of Desolation’s head vanished, leaving only his body behind.
His gigantic body collapsed.
The rampaging 7-colored spear also dropped to the ground.
All of the Desolate monsters stopped moving.
Their king died so suddenly that they had no idea what to do.
Of course, the metal insects didn’t care what the Desolate monsters thought, they simply leapt forward to try and devour the Lord of Desolation’s body.
All of a sudden, the 7-colored spear jumped up from the ground and floated in mid-air.
Countless amounts of spear images were shot from the 7-colored spear, eliminating everything around it.
Both the Desolate monsters and the mutating metal insects were unable to resist the overwhelming power of the spear.
The spear began to attack without regard for friend or foe, displaying even greater power than when the Lord of Desolation wielded it.
And then something unbelievable happened.
The Lord of Desolation’s dead body suddenly started to stand up again.
———-even without a head, the body could still move.
The headless body stood up and quickly headed towards the floating 7-colored spear.
Over 10,000 miles away, Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows twitched.
Staring at this eerie sight, Gu Qing Shan felt an indescribable emotion.
A sense of dread, a chill so bad it caused him to feel hard to breathe suddenly appeared and put pressure on his mind.
Gu Qing Shan felt that he was already standing at the verge of life and death, constantly lingering at the edge of a bottomless pit of despair.
No, this is fear towards a fate even worse than death!
This feeling was so similar that Gu Qing Shan immediately recalled something that happened before.
The monster that almost manifested inside the Huang Quan realm.
The monster that defeated the entire Spire Keeper Association.
On the screen, the headless body walked up to the 7-colored spear, reaching its hands out to grab it.
Gu Qing Shan’s pupils contracted, gave up on thinking any further, and shouted: “Don’t let it grab that spear!”
[Understood!] the black metal soldier answered.
All the metal insects on the battlefield pooled together like a tsunami to stop the Lord of Desolation.
———-no, not the Lord of Desolation, but his headless body.
The metal insects crashed into it, trying to devour its corpse, but the corpse was completely unharmed, the insects couldn’t do anything to it.
The corpse was being pushed by the huge swarm of insects, but it maintained its balance, stepping closer and closer to the 7-colored spear.
It was about to grab the spear!
“Take aim—-” Gu Qing Shan ordered.
A dull sound of gunshot resonated in his ears.
A hole about the size of a knuckle appeared on the Lord of Desolation’s body.
After consecutive gunshots, the body was struck so much it became frozen in place, unable to move towards the 7-colored spear any more.
Gu Qing Shan relaxed and exhaled in relief.
But the situation suddenly changed——-
The floating 7-colored spear suddenly trembled and flew into the headless body’s hands by itself.
The headless body wielded the 7-colored spear and raised it high.
As soon as it caught the spear, an intense waterfall of light descended from above.
The boundless swarm of insects shrieked and quickly scattered, unwilling to approach that blinding brilliance.
An unspeakable change was taking place.
“System, tell me, what is that thing?” Gu Qing Shan loudly asked.
But the War God System simply remained silent without answering.
Apparently it was silently observing.
Time quickly, but gradually passed.
The sky-high waterfall of light faded away.
A cruel female voice resounded across the battlefield, coming from inside the Lord of Desolation’s body.
『 Soul cattle that the Divinities shepherd, you are wonderful existences that should not have had anything to do with the hateful [Orders] 』
Following that, a male voice came from the Lord of Desolation’s body:
「 Humans! Pitiful creatures that long for life, know your place as mere conduits of souls! 」
A sorrowful yet shrill sense of chill began to exude from the headless body.
The male and female voices both chanted at once: 『「 Souls! Present your souls to me! Aaa———– 』」
Within the grating squeal, huge numbers of metal insects were falling like rain.
Tiny, faint sprites of light came out of the insects’ bodies and headed for the headless body.
The male and female voices both resounded.
The Desolate monsters also collapsed one by one, their souls escaping their bodies and flew into the headless body.
Both sides of the war, the human and Desolate side were both experiencing heavy casualties.
The moans of countless souls resounded across the battlefield.
This was a sharp, pitiful, and painful sound that caused anyone that heard it to feel the endless and ongoing suffering.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan finally realized.
That wasn’t the Lord of Desolation.
It turns out the eerie ‘God’ of God Institute had existed since the Age of Old.
It pretended to be the Lord of Desolation——- or perhaps, it was hiding inside the Lord of Desolation’s body, controlling him to restrain both humanity and the Divinities!
The War God System suddenly spoke: [The worst-case scenario still happened, Gu Qing Shan, quickly, escape!]
Its tone became hurried: [Water God, you must devolve yourself—— return to your previous state as a war system and turn into a card so I can take you with me. Otherwise, you will die here]
[Understood] Water God’s voice came.
“Where are we going?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Escape from here as soon as possible and return to the Strife Zones!] the War God System replied.
Gu Qing Shan immediately said: “No, Water God, take us to the other subsystem world”
[You are crazy! That is too close, it can pursue you at any time. If you die at its hands, you will not be able to redo this] the War God System responded.
“We have to go there” Gu Qing Shan spoke quickly: “I’m betting on the fact that Xie Gu Hong and the other two are still safe. None of them was a match for this monster, yet according to history, Xie Gu Hong still managed to return safely”
He shouted: “Don’t you get it!? This meant that something must’ve happened to them, something that we don’t know about, something that might be related to the Heaven sword!”
The War God System: [However——-]
Gu Qing Shan cut it off: “Trust me, I guarantee you I won’t die in this world”
[…Fine, Water God, leave these two soldiers here to buy more time, we will go to the cultivation-type world first!] the System spoke.
Water God replied: [Understood, we’re going!]
She turned into a card and fell into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
Layers upon layers of light descended and enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan turned into a flash of light and vanished from this secondary defense subsystem world.
The two soldiers were still attacking with all they had on top of the metal mountain.
They were responsible for holding off this monster and buying time for Gu Qing Shan.
