Shroud, Rhode, damn both of you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She roared, causing the power of Apocalypse from her body to grow increasingly stronger, howling like a rampaging storm towards every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly——-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 I can see it! 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant eyeball suddenly shouted, its voice resounding across the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 The Reality Gate is opening; the true Apocalypse is about to descend—— it’s all over! 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyeball’s voice was filled with unsure dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s still afraid of the Apocalypse despite being so powerful?” Gu Qing Shan whispered and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was originally a part of the frozen corpse, as well as a part of the Secret Apocalypse. If the Apocalypses outside the Reality Gate poured inside, it would be the very first thing they would look for” Boss whispered to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two of them were talking, only a bright red splash of blood remained in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the splash of blood was slowly fading away before it completely vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——the giant eyeball had run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahahaha, look at that, even it had run away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter who it is, they must kneel before me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol laughed in a frenzied voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body began to exude an extremely dim light and an aura of terrible rot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shroud, Rhode, both of you have been unable to keep up with me, I’m through wrestling with Fate, I’ve won!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gazed towards the end of the world upon the two of them, then abruptly raised her voice: “I am the Apocalypse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan focused his gaze and muttered: “Boss, I can’t wait any longer, I’m going to kill her now——-”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss said: “It’s a pity that my powers aren’t enough, otherwise, it should be me who does this”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan turned to Boss: “You—— wanted to take revenge on her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss whispered: “No, she wants to destroy everything, while I want to protect what I think is worth protecting, that’s all”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan grinned and began to happily laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lightly placed his hand on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ants at his fingertips followed his finger onto the earth, quickly found an ant burrowing hole, then crawled back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan clapped his hands as he stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just take a rest for now, I’ll go kill her. After everything is over, we’re finally going to enjoy a nice dinner with everyone, then take the time to deal with that eyeball. Ah right, there are also the Apocalypses outside the Reality Gate, tch, such a headache”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rambled on before stepping forward into a mass of white fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything paused for a brief moment in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then——–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doong! Doong! Doong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heroic and resounding sound of drumming echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night had gone by, a new sun was rising, which painted the sky in a bloody shade almost like that of the setting sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, everything seemed to have become incredibly slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol suddenly found everything around herself grinding to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The angels, the wraiths on the ground, even Shroud who stood at the end of the world, all living beings had completely stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“[Time Stanch]?” she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoh——–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apocalyptic aura vanished from around her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, this isn’t [Time Stanch], this is time itself stopping” she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice replied from the void of space:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, Time had fallen into a stationary state, as you and I are both currently inside a Time Gap”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White fog began to spread as Gu Qing Shan showed himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rhode... you can wield the power of Time” Reneedol said while attempting to summon something from the void of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s useless. Within this Time Gap, only you and I exist, the power of the Apocalypse cannot enter” Gu Qing Shan told her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol looked at him with a shocked expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rhode, how could you wield such power! This is unbelievable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried putting up her hand to summon a starlight weapon, but nothing appeared at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, she remembered that following the Deity of Fate’s death, [Tears of Deities] was no longer in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doong! Doong! Doong! Doong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of battle drums were growing increasingly more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Occultism Deathmatch Dance. I only managed to initiate it to this degree because I went beyond the requirements during the trial, offering the heads of the three Wraith Lords to this Dance”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan calmly explained: “This is a completely fair fight to the death. Both you and I have lost all of our powers, so we must agree on a certain factor in order to complete this Deathmatch, otherwise, we’re both going to be trapped here forever”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol silently listened and coldly scoffed: “You think I’m going to believe you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mobilized her power again, but couldn’t summon even a single star behind her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she was truly flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apocalypse could not enter, Time had been completely stopped, all of her powers lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——the only fortunate thing was that Rhode was in the same situation during this Deathmatch, we are equals here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan leisurely continued to explain: “Now, you and I will both have to select a factor——- any factor will do, but I’ll tell you first, I don’t know how the Deathmatch will actually play out either”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Factor?” Reneedol asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have the duty of explaining it to you——– a ‘factor’ is the main theme of this Deathmatch, something that you’re confident you’d be able to defeat your enemy in” Gu Qing Shan explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I choose Fate! I’ve always wrestled and won against Fate!” Reneedol immediately declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stayed silent briefly before shaking his head: “The world is a much crueler place than you can ever imagine, but you don’t understand that fact even now. This is Shroud’s fault”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, then Fate it is”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will now show you just what kind of place the world truly is”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hoarse female voice resounded from the void of space:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Very well, Fate is suitable as a factor, then it is decided 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Your Fates shall be exchanged... to see who would be able to survive... 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 A total of three times 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Those who die more... 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Shall step foot into the true path of death 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan and Reneedol both vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain had continued for an entire day and night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a mass grave outside of a military post, something moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing a bunch of corpses aside, Reneedol suddenly climbed out from the mass grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah... hah...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She breathed heavily and tried examining her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A suit of strange armor, a mixture of dirt, mud, blood, and rainwater soaked her body, even touching the armor lightly would cause a few of the pieces to fall off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if she had just gone through a desperate struggle for her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The downpour continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold rainwater buffeted the wounds all over her body, which heightened the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grunted to herself and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Starforce has been weakened, but it has at least recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol raised her hand and lightly tried to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-I can still use the power of Law to attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally felt a bit relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I’m currently in the middle of Rhode’s previous Fate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol examined her body more carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good, I’m still myself, I haven’t actually turned into a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, should I wait right here, or search for reinforcements?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was hesitating, a bit of light hesitantly approached her from within the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a night patrolman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol observed them carefully and shouted: “Hey!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrolman appeared shaken and immediately tumbled back as he dropped the lantern he was carrying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol relaxed a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-that was a mortal, and a very cowardly one as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, there must be some sort of shelter around here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night patrolman from earlier brought with him a fully armored soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally, someone who’s a bit braver” Reneedol scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used the rainwater to wash away the mud on her face to display her peerless beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——no one would be able to resist this face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier stopped where he was standing immediately after shining his lantern on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier clenched his blade tightly and asked: “Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reneedol glanced at the armor on her body, rolled her eyes, then said: “This humble one is quite heavily wounded, I’m currently unable to move, so please help me”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to move?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier’s expression relaxed slightly and relaxed his blade-wielding hand, asking her: “Miss, which sect are you from? You’re quite fortunate to be alive, let me help you up”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you” Reneedol said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a place where I can rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he asked about my sect earlier—–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s a ‘sect’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was thinking, the other party had helped pull her up and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to thank me, die”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade slashed through the rain as a cold gleam towards Reneedol’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier’s attack was extremely resolute, and he made sure to strike at the best opportunity, so Reneedol was swiftly beheaded and fell back into the mass grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One strike, over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier scoffed as he pulled his blade back and turned to the night patrolman: “Damned demoness trying to infiltrate our outpost in the middle of the night, chop her up and throw her back into the pit”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes sir” the night patrolman replied with a look of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that he was hanging on top of a tree as a fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light of dawn had just peeked through the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light illuminated the top of the great tree to bring life to a new day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed that he was at the best possible spot on top of the three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another fruit at the back of the three that couldn’t even touch the light of the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan instantly understood the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tch—–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the Deathmatch had switched my Fate with Reneedol’s?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...A best of three, was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Reneedol had gone into my Fate, she would most likely not survive too easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I’ve received her Fate—– during her entire life, the most difficult time was actually during the very beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would I be a man or woman after I’m born?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fruit doesn’t have a gender right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, since the Deities of Fate have yet to arrive, there is something I can do that will immediately tell me everything I need to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, he turned and rolled to the back of the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, there was a smaller, thinner fruit right here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—-this is Dusk who hadn’t actually been born!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan felt emotional, almost unable to stop himself from sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called out while bumping against the other fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other fruit wasn’t able to endure the bump at all and was pushed into a corner of the branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?
