Arya\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the icy winds, the group had already distanced themselves from Su Xue Er and from the area of the lake of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t retreat right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 7-8 demonized candidates all placed their hands on the masculine bald man’s own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They gave him all the Soul Points they had collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man smirked at the lake of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he was no longer afraid of the Blood Giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Soul Points of 8 people collected together was enough to fulfill [Kindling]’s requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pretty girl, a soft flower like yourself is better off being trampled to death”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man was speaking to Su Xue Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared incredibly mesmerized, as if thinking about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Astaroth, finish them” Su Xue Er said in disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Giant began his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every step he took left a deep footprint on the frozen wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised both hands to the sky, quickly speaking: “[Kindling], I offer all my Soul Points to you in return for the Demon Lord’s protection!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second later, something appeared from the void of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man stared straight at it and chanted: “Cecrops, climb up from the abyss of souls as the [Demon King Order] needs you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant ashen hand broke through the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed by a 25-meter-wide giant head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head turned to observe the situation around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now that everyone noticed this head only had a single eye and a huge gaping bloody jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 For the Demon King Order 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head spoke with a low-pitched voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large patches of the frozen wasteland broke apart from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the giant body emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a corpse-like ashen grey skin and gave off a thick stench of rotten flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one-eyed giant stood up, then reached down to grab a huge mace from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the mace in hand, it silently waited for its orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Demon Lord was quite similar to the one Gu Qing Shan met in the dark tunnel to Huang Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the one Gu Qing Shan met only had half of its body left, whereas this one had its whole body intact as well as a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill that Blood Giant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masculine bald man shouted in a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Understood 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Lord responded with a heavy voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else stared at the Demon Lord with an unmistakable look of fanaticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a dream-like ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This powerful monster actually listened to their orders\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This felt almost like they had just taken over the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later on, when they become powerful as well, they will be able to summon this type of monster at a moment’s notice, easily becoming an overlord in the 900 million World Layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant Demon Lord took their orders and rushed towards the lake of blood without saying anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster of the blood lake Astaroth also dashed at the Demon Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, the two giants clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were roaring, tearing at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every hit shook the entire frozen wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly like a clash of titans in the ancient myths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t seem like a winner could be decided between them any time soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go catch that girly, she’s able to summon such a monster so she must have a lot of Soul Points!” the bald man shouted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone also understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, Soul Points, we can always use Soul Points to exchange for more power from [Kindling].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They greedily stared at Su Xue Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them swallowed their spit and called out: “You keep the Soul Points, I only need the girl”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before they got close to her, they were already discussing how to divide Su Xue Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which caused Su Xue Er to be furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting her teeth, she held nothing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her scepter started to release a bloody glow, then erupted into 13 flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames floated and slowly dimmed within the snow storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>13 cards were neatly lined up in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While looking at these cards, Su Xue Er hesitated a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to using Soul Points repeatedly, the amount of time that the System could protect her was quickly decreasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, she only had 15 minutes left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she activated this 13-card combination, it’s hard to tell how much time she would have left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonized men quickly approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were getting closer and closer to Su Xue Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahahaha, the closer you look, the prettier this girl is, don’t any of you dare to steal her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone excitedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way, you had better let us enjoy her first before taking her away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another voice couldn’t help but shouted back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused Su Xue Er to be unable to hold back her rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——–no matter the price, I will definitely not fall into the hands of these people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“O’ flowing sea of blood, you who know of the one that wanders in the abyss of the Blood Sea”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue Er raised her voice, loudly chanting: “Blood Sea! Help me summon her and let her majesty come to this world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ooong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear wave of Soul Points rippled all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Ahehehe! Today… something fun seems to be happening 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whisper of laughter came out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the 13 cards flipped over at the same time to form the portrait of a beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonized people all stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were staring at the portrait without moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beautiful… so beautiful…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What unimaginable beauty, simply…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were muttering to themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in the portrait was truly too beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having her eyes closed, she exuded overwhelming allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 8 demonized candidates couldn’t avert their eyes at all as their gazes slowly lost focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Little girl, it seems your situation isn’t too great 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful woman in the portrait still kept her eyes closed as she softly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she opened her mouth, there were already no signs of life around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one responded to her words either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 8 demonized candidates were still blankly standing there, staring at her without being able to say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the sound of the Demon Lord and Blood Giant’s destructive battle could be heard from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is indeed the case, thank you for coming, I will prepare the offering later” Su Xue Er respectfully said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Offering… there is no need this time, if you survive, telling me your story will be enough”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, the beautiful woman lightly fluttered the fan in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A light breeze started to blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strands of her hair swayed gently in the wind, the thin long dress covered in gauze and fog were almost unable to hide the peerless jade-like body she possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even such simple movements are overwhelmingly charming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My story?” Su Xue Er was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, this was simply too rare” the beautiful woman appeared regretful, “the dangers you are facing clearly belong to another, yet you yourself are bearing it for him”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the hundreds of millions of years I spent wandering the abyss of the Blood Sea, I have seen so many extraordinary things, but a girl such as yourself has not grazed my eyes for the last few ten thousand years”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember, one brilliant such as you should not bear too much for others”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope you survive”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the closed-eyed beautiful woman said so, she disappeared from the portrait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 13 cards also lost their light as they returned inside her scepter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue Er was stunned for a bit before she could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the System UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s only 2 minutes 36 seconds left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no, I almost ran out of Soul Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then looked to the 8 demonized candidates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They suddenly opened their eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think I blacked out”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a minute, no, why can’t I move!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? You as well? I can’t move my feet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t even lift a finger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 8 villainous men all exclaimed from shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had just found out something very terrifying——– they lost control over their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>",1377,"2026-06-09T03:05:21.780Z",1,"novelbin.me","56f376889f82ad7c9f96f17d55eeccb9027ca9bed1bd49a2f8041dbcfadbf9e7","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-529","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-527",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
