In the sky, a dark streak of light flashed and started flying in another direction.
Suddenly, this streak of light abruptly stopped in the sky and returned.
As if something was pulling it back.
In the light, Reneedol was furious.
——it was the same Causality Law as before that forced her to return and attack Rhode.
“Rhode! Stop your tricks!” she shouted as she flew.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said: “Reneedol, I’m attracting these Deities, help me eliminate them”
“Fine” Reneedol replied.
Gu Qing Shan resolutely took the [Conquer] affecting Reneedol away.
Right as Reneedol was about to attack, she stopped.
——-the Causality Law had disappeared.
Reneedol glanced at Gu Qing Shan for a bit, then suddenly laughed.
“How excellent, using several mysterious powers to draw our attention. I suspect that the reason our attention was completely drawn by you earlier was because of another hidden Causality Law. You truly did it so perfectly that I’ve only just noticed it”
Her figure flashed and tried to fly towards Boss.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then used [Conquer] again.
The flash of light that Reneedol had turned into couldn’t help but stop, then turned around once again.
“Rhode!” Reneedol angrily shouted.
She swung her hands.
The large hammer of starlight disappeared and turned into a graceful longsword.
“Cut all restraints!”
Reneedol shouted, then swung her sword around her body.
But that Causality Law continued to persist.
——–a [War God] Title like [Starflame War God] wasn’t something that she could dispel so easily.
Reneedol’s gaze went cold.
Starlight poured out from her neck, manifesting in her hand as a glittering bow of stars.
She wielded the Bow and pointed it at Gu Qing Shan.
“Dispel the Causality Law, or my arrow isn’t going to miss, Rhode” Reneedol declared.
“Oh? So are you going to attack the Deities if I dispel it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
He noticed that all the Deities were still standing motionless in the air.
The black tentacles attached to the backs of their necks had all pulled away and disappeared somewhere.
This was a good sign.
——-Boss’s plan of replacing the Lord of Infinite Origins had reached a pivotal point!
Reneedol looked at the Deities in the sky with clear killing intent coming from her body and said: “Of course, now hurry and dispel your Causality!”
Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Alright, I already did!”
Reneedol was able to sense it as well and immediately turned around to fly towards Shroud, Little Dusk, and Scarlet.
Halfway there, she hurriedly returned once again.
“You tricked me!” she furiously said.
——-just now, Gu Qing Shan has used [Conquer] once again.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: “You said you’d kill the Deities, why did you suddenly run back?”
Reneedol raised her Starlight Bow, gathered the power into it, and spoke with a grudgeful voice: “Since you’ve used the Causality law to force me to attack you, then let us see how you take it”
She let go.
The wind around her was torn apart as a jet of starlight shot straight towards Gu Qing Shan!
In that instant, Gu Qing Shan also drew the bowstring of his dark green bow and released, causing another thunderstrike.
There was too little time for him to react, so as soon as the arrow left his bow, it struck the jet of starlight.
As the two arrows clashed, the starlight instantly shattered into a mass of sand.
The sand continued to fly toward and struck Gu Qing Shan’s body before he could react.
The black flames armor of Death he wore was instantly shattered, Gu Qing Shan was sent flying into the invisible barrier and coughed up some blood.
“An arrow that literally won’t miss, huh?”
He wiped the blood from his mouth and muttered.
Despite shattering into sand, it still contained so much power, the power of Reneedol’s Divine Artifact of Fate was terrifying!
Being struck by this arrow, Gu Qing Shan almost couldn’t move any longer.
Reneedol coldly sneered, then turned around to hurriedly fly towards Shroud, Little Dusk, and Scarlet again.
On the ground, Little Dusk had already noticed that something wasn’t right and quickly drew Cards from the void of space.
Scarlet brandished her black flames scythe and used Star Force to manifest another armor for Gu Qing Shan.
“Nicely done”
Seeing another suit of armor on his body, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but smile.
If not for this armor helping me stop that blow, I would have been even more injured.
Then…
Should I use swordsmanship now?
Yes, Reneedol had inherited Clotho’s memories and even attempted to discern whether or not Red Wraith was actually Rhode.
However!
When the Samsara descended, her memories had already been sealed by Shifu!
At that time, she had forgotten her memories during her time as a Deity, as well as everything about Red Wraith.
She only remembered that she knew Shroud since she was young, that the World Valley had been destroyed, and how they fled from the World Valley from that point.
Even if Lachesis had awakened her memories, she had merely recalled her time in the Pantheon.
I was transformed into the orange cat and clearly heard them as the two sisters discussed this fact!
In other words———
Even if I use some of my original abilities, she wouldn’t think of Red Wraith.
And so what if she does?
It’s already the final moments…
Gu Qing Shan formed a sword seal in his mind with killing intent.
Reneedol was certainly strong.
But the stronger individual wouldn’t necessarily be the one who was killed.
The most troublesome thing would be that [Plate of Destiny’s End] she was wearing.
According to Lachesis, anyone who caused damage to Reneedol would be dealt twice as much damage in return.
Gu Qing Shan swiftly considered his tactics, then used his Title Skill once again—-
[Starflame War God], [Conquer]!
A second later.
Just as Reneedol was about to arrive above the other three, she abruptly stopped once again and hurriedly flew back towards the world barrier.
“Rhode, do you want to die!?” Reneedol roared.
She had truly gotten angry, while flying, she dispelled the Starlight Bow in her hand and gathered even more starlight to manifest into a Starlight Blade.
Observing this Blade, Gu Qing Shan could clearly feel the unstoppable pressure from it.
“I’m going to take your life!”
Reneedol’s voice resounded in his mind.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and replied: “You said you were going to kill these Deities, but you’ve ran away time and time again, I’m really troubled you know”
——how should I defeat her now?
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
That won’t do either, the two Divine Artifacts of Fate she’s carrying are too powerful…
“Oi” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice.
No answer.
Reneedol was exuding killing intent without replying to him.
There would probably be some issues if Rhode died.
Because he was one of the only two unrestrained Deities, he has a place within Fate, so he’s still useful later on.
But I don’t care about that right now, he must die!
Gu Qing Shan was now able to sense her killing intent.
Resolved to kill me?
Focusing his thoughts, right as he was about to draw the twin swords Heaven and Earth, something else happened.
Four black shields abruptly appeared and circled around his body.
The black flames armor he was wearing also erupted in more flames.
Vitality slowly poured into Gu Qing Shan’s body.
This is… Scarlet’s protection.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly looked up and far away.
Only to see Scarlet holding a bottle of liquor in her hand while continuously swinging the black flames scythe, unleashing her Star Force.
Protection – [Star Shields of Death]!
“What’s going on with the two of you? Why did you suddenly fight one another?” Scarlet was practically sobbing as she called out.
Little Dusk also drew a Card from her hand and whispered towards Reneedol:
“[Weapon Prohibition] – Blade!”
This was the Card she obtained while performing the Living Being Sacrificial Dance together with Gu Qing Shan, which contained a Causality Law from Occultism; it has now displayed overwhelming power above all other Cards.
The large Starlight Blade in Reneedol’s hand instantly flew away from her hand and disappeared into stardust in mid-air.
Reneedol’s expression changed and turned to Little Dusk.
Little Dusk called out: “Sister, we can talk things out, don’t fight with Rhode!”
Reneedol didn’t say anything and reached her hand forward to mobilize the starlight.
——however, the starlight couldn’t manifest into a Blade no matter how much she tried, forcing her to manifest a spear instead.
Gazing deeply at Little Dusk, Reneedol appeared cautious.
Earlier, she had a spear that could pierce everything, now a Causality Law that prohibits any weapons.
This younger sister among the Twins of Fate had truly surpassed my expectations.
With numerous thoughts flowing through her mind, Reneedol glanced at the mass of light around Shroud, then stared back at Gu Qing Shan.
Only to see that Gu Qing Shan was slowly drinking from a thin metallic container.
Glub glub glub——–
After finishing the canned drink, Gu Qing Shan’s wounds were already healed by half.
Hah.
That guy Ye Fei Li was clearly a World Destroyer, but he was able to mass produce such powerful healing drinks, truly unexpected.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought, then took out another canned drink.
——this was to replenish his stamina.
He’s been fighting for a while, so he was getting a bit thirsty, that can from earlier was not enough at all.
He drank the entire can at once.
——-strawberry flavor, delicious.
His stamina was instantly replenished to full.
Gu Qing Shan was glad and wielded the Bow of Fallen Souls once again, preparing to attack.
“Rhode!”
Reneedol suddenly called out: “You telling me to kill these Deities is a wrong tactic”
“Huh?” Gu Qing Shan asked, a bit surprised.
“They’re no longer under the Lord of Infinite Origins’ control, they’re only puppets filled with the power of Law right now, it’s useless to kill them” Reneedol said.
“Let’s kill them anyway, to prevent any unexpected occurrences” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Fine, undo your Causality Law, I’ll do it!” Reneedol answered.
Gu Qing Shan once again undid [Conquer].
——he wasn’t stupid, if he could save himself from an attack from Reneedol’s Divine Artifact of Fate, it was best that he didn’t take it.
Not to mention, doing that would stall for even more time.
Very quickly, Reneedol felt the Causality Law disappearing again.
Her body shook a bit, causing the [Plate of Destiny’s End] that radiated dark light to detach from her body, turning into dozens of components that flew towards Shroud.
These components began to dance around while they were still far away from Shroud, releasing an even more profound dome of dark light.
“What are you——” Gu Qing Shan shouted, about to use [Fog Realm Descent].
“Leave Shroud’s safety to me!” Reneedol called out.
She then leapt towards the Deities hovering in mid-air and slaughtered them without mercy.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
What could have caused Reneedol to change so quickly?
Unless—–
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the distance.
Only to see the bloody glow around Boss’ body completely disappearing.
He opened his eyes.
