Awoo!!!

Following the resounding howl from the sky, the ground trembled.

A golden glow appeared in the sky, occasionally crashing into the ferocious giant face as it drew a mass of blood from it.

Apparently unable to endure such attacks, the face that enveloped the sky fell directly to the ground.

After the face fell, its boundlessly gigantic body mixed with a faint destructive glow also descended to the ground.

Lines of glowing text quickly appeared:

[Apocalypse: Living World Disaster has descended]

[This Apocalypse is fully manifesting itself in order to conquer this frozen world]

The scene of the snowstorm that filled this world suddenly vanished.

Instantly, the ruins of countless cities, as well as a terrifying army of monsters and drifting poisonous mist appeared in everyone's visions.

Boss wielded his black trident with golden fog drifting around his body, gazing down upon the apocalyptic scenery.

"--------It appears to have gotten much more difficult, will there be an issue?" Gu Qing Shan shouted from below.

Boss shook his head and scoffed: "It's nothing but a small matter"

"Don't act tough, there's been an issue every single time you've tried to brag" Gu Qing Shan seriously called out to him.

Boss' face twitched.

He then let go of the black trident and summoned a gloomy glow around his body.

"By my name, I bestow you the power to awaken. Gather and protect your king"

As Boss recited these words, he tossed the ring on his finger forward.

Boom!

The void of space around the ring fluctuated.

Countless monsters stood in formation, filling the sky.

All of these monsters were equipped with full suits of armor, their bodies were distorted and filled with an eerie power, faint grey mist drifted around their bodies without scattering.

They opened their eyes one by one and moved their bodies.

"Protect the king!"

"Protect the king!"

"Protect the king!"

The monsters roared.

As they awoke, the ashen aura they gave off gradually grew stronger, almost to the point of replacing the natural presence of this ruined city world.

This was the aura of the Eternal Abyss!

The innumerable Apocalyptic monsters unleashed various techniques that struck these monsters' bodies, only to give off a series of metallic clanking.

-------each of these Abyssal monsters had an Abyssal form of their own, which contained immeasurable power, just like how Lin was.

"Eradicate them" Boss casually ordered.

"""Understood!""" the Abyssal monsters uttered a resounding roar before charging towards the apocalyptic ruins in formation.

Nothing was able to stop these monsters as they violently swept across the world.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

------while Boss no longer wields the power he had in the past, he had gained the reinforcement of [Order] and become the King of War.

Furthermore, he still carries so many Abyssal monsters with him as war servants.

Knowing what happened in the future, it seems he had always held a bit of wishful thinking in his heart.

But once things had reached this point, he had no choice but to discard those emotions and begin to fight.

Gu Qing Shan pulled back his gaze and looked forward.

The insects and [Human Regiment] were still fighting.

In the middle of the swarm of insects, Reneedol looked up at Boss who was in the sky while standing under the protection of the two Deities of Fate.

Boss' figure flashed as he descended from above, lightly hovering in front of the swarm of insects.

"Reneedol"

He looked at her and spoke with a serious tone: "The pain and hardship you've suffered since birth resulted from the schemes of the three Deities of Fate and the Apocalypse. I've helped you conquer them just now"

"You accompanied me through numerous years, so I've gifted the power I possess to you so that you can protect yourself"

"------in reality, I've never thought about desiring anything from you"

"I've merely thought that we would remain together"

Boss wryly smiled, then shook his head.

Reneedol silently listened.

After a long while, Boss spoke with difficulty:

"Our matter had been resolved; you should leave now"

Reneedol looked at him and muttered: "Fate granted me so much torture and suffering, do you believe that your high-and-mighty gift would be able to soothe it over?"

A terrifying presence rose from her body that blew the insects around her away, only the two Deities of Fate were able to barely remain still.

Boss appeared reminiscent and slowly replied: "I was born in darkness, suffering the pain of being endlessly torn apart within a boundless sea of blood. This existence continued for around 10,000 years, at which point my consciousness began to grow, and I began to ponder who I am"

"After another 800 years, I was able to obtain a bit of power and decided to begin searching for my identity, but the world I resided in was too great. Every step I took, I had to endure a different kind of suffering: being burnt, being torn, being pierced, being cut, being deprived, being starved, being skinned-------- a lot of times, the only thing I had left was the little bit of consciousness"

"After 1000 years of this, I gradually realized my identity"

"Indeed, I finally knew that I was the overseer of a seal, responsible for watching over the corpse of the [Eradicator of all things and all living beings] and prevent it from ever resurrecting"

"Through countless years, I would have to feel the same suffering as the corpse, because only then would this corpse be restrained"

"This life would have been unending and infinite, continuing until the end of eternity, as that was my Fate"

"However…"

"I resisted this Fate and began to absorb the power of this corpse"

"It was because of this that you see me standing in front of you right now, and also why I can sympathize with your experience, hoping to shelter you even more"

Reneedol was surprised to hear this.

Boss sincerely continued: "Fate is a kind of trend that accumulates through the progression of all living beings and all things, it brings us suffering, only to be overturned by our own hands. This is the gift we grant ourselves, as well as the most precious thing in our lives"

"As for the power I gifted you------- is actually isn't a lot at all, you don't have to worry about it"

"Reneedol, I truly didn't want to scheme anything against you at all, I merely wanted to thank you for staying with me during my loneliest hours"

"I hope that you will fare excellently from now on"

Boss lowered his head, then slowly retreated: "Let us------- part our ways here"

He turned around in mid-air, propping the black trident on his shoulder and flew towards Gu Qing Shan with an expression of loss.

Reneedol stood still.

At this time, the two Deities of Fate exchanged glances, then hurriedly told Reneedol something.

"Wait!"

Reneedol called out.

"What is it?" Boss suddenly stopped.

"The two Deities of Fate said that there is still one more Divine Artifact of Fate, return it to them, and I'll leave immediately" Reneedol said.

Boss sighed, then turned to the two Deities of Fate: "The situation was extremely dire during that time. The three Divine Artifacts of Fate were forged through me silently expending the essence of that corpse's power, borrowing the hands of millions of Deities to complete. Each of them contains infinite power, you should already be satisfied with two of them"

Clotho and Atropos both appeared unwilling to accept and quickly whispered something into Reneedol's ears.

Boss' voice became cold and continued: "The Divine Artifacts of Fate depends greatly on their users------- their wielder will determine the power they are able to exert, even being greedy will not improve them in the slightest"

After saying that, he no longer turned around and flew back to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder.

Boss shook his head without saying anything.

Suddenly, Reneedol declared again:

"The two Deities said that only by obtaining all three Divine Artifacts of Fate would I be able to protect myself and gain true freedom"

She reached her hand forward.

Boundless starlight gathered in her hand, manifesting as a Starlight Hammer that was several meters in length.

A boundless power was gathered on the hammer, causing the void of space around it to continuously crack.

"Hand over the third Divine Artifact, or else I will kill both of you right here"

Reneedol shouted.

Boss sighed and wanted to say something else, but Gu Qing Shan stopped him.

"Reneedol, it seems that you've been too busy resisting Fate that you've forgotten the most important thing" Gu Qing Shan said.

"What are you referring to?" Reneedol asked.

"The Deities of Fate arbitrarily took over your body without asking, that's called stealing, which sullied their names as Deities" Gu Qing Shan replied.

Reneedol silently watched him and waited for his next words.

"While you're here demanding something that belongs to someone else, that's called robbing, which is even worse than what they did"

Gu Qing Shan looked straight at her and stated the simple truth: "I'll be frank. All things have their spirits, even a pet dog knows how to repay someone with gratitude. But you vile snake of a woman, not only did you threaten someone who saved you, but you also wanted to take something that doesn't belong to you, then threaten to kill them if they won't give it to you-----"

"You're even less than a dog"
