Dr.Lock\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proofreader: Arya\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circumstances of the decisive war of the 900 million World Layers had abruptly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of True Demons suddenly brought the entire army away and retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countless Combatants, the Allied Army and various organizations of the 900 million World Layers were stunned and stood still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did they just leave?” someone asked in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe… or not, it could be a trap?” someone hesitantly answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at Kitty for an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through this battle, everyone now knew exactly how great of an expert on Spatial manipulation techniques she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitty carefully sensed around and loudly declared: “The warp gate is closed, the True Demons really have returned to the Fallen Zones!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone went into an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was too strange, it was clearly do-or-die just a few moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of True Demon was about to arrive as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why did the True Demons suddenly retreat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The various organization leaders and those at the top of the Alliance fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abruptly a female voice called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit of the Holy Tree, Lady Tethys explained: “I know what happened”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their goal from the start was Aboul, they wanted to unseal Triste’s world and let the [Demon King Order] spread to the world layers around”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now, that [Demon King Order] has already been destroyed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The True Demon’s goal can no longer be achieved, so they could only retreat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was shocked by the news as they quickly discussed this among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who destroyed the [Demon King Order] and ended it all?” someone couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Frost of the Cold Night, Ilya”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was surprised again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now, could it be her that granted us these treasures?” someone else asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not, besides the Bramble Bird royal family, no one could order the Saint Bramble Tree——– the one that granted these treasures must have been the newly-crowned Bramble Bird Empress” Tethys told them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she said so, another miraculous sight appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the weapons, armors and treasures granted from before were no longer under their wielders’ control, they quickly flew back to the Saint Bramble Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp—–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A unified gulp came out across the entire battlefield, as everyone couldn’t help but feel regretful for not being able to keep these items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they all knew better than anyone that these treasures weren’t theirs to miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint Bramble Tree had never actively attacked any living beings, but if someone tried something against it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright fine, just being able to use treasures from the Bramble Bird Kingdom is already quite a story to tell for later days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time quickly passed and the Combatants here quickly got out of the regretful mood brought by them being taken back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They broke out into a cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We won!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The [Demon King Order] had retreated to the Fallen Zones!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you see the dejected look of those True Demons?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahahaha, total victory!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aboul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura had chanted an incantation to dispel the screen showing the scene at the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan sighed: “This really shouldn’t be called [Will of the Empress], [Blessing of the Empress] sounds more appropriate”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a type of super-distance support ability, allowing the recipient to instantly return to their peak, obtain stronger equipment and get a boost in fighting capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, the one doing all the heavy-lifting was actually the Saint Bramble Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, it was impressive, because who else in the entire Outer Plane would be so beloved by the Saint Bramble Tree besides Laura?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During a large-scale war, this ability would prove to be both extremely practical and useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura told him: “If it was you, I wouldn’t take what I gave back, but I don’t know any of these people. And I can’t arbitrarily give our Kingdom’s precious treasures to strangers”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Laura”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After the war is over, you can grant rewards and commendations to the Combatants who made great contributions for the greater good”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will they accept such a thing?” Laura wasn’t so sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course they will”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan smiled: “This will bring your reputation to even higher heights”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ilya thought about his proposal: “The only issue is that the Kingdom might have to give up a quite few treasures”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura slammed her hand on the table: “Then it’s decided”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, your majesty” the Bramble Birds in the room all responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ilya then started to leave the green room, saying: “In that case, I will prepare a venue for the Empress’ commendation”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the guards spoke up: “Shouldn’t we find a place to detain Triste first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true, I’ll come with you all for that” Ilya said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then escorted Triste out of the royal green room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, only Laura and Gu Qing Shan were left in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura sat on the wide and comfortable sofa without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan said nothing as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited for a few moments then took out another bottle of liquor from the icebox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A third one!” Laura scowled at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because we can celebrate now” Gu Qing Shan smiled and answered her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Celebrate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, according to Triste’s memories, it should already be time for the Lord of True Demons to try contacting Triste’s world again”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once he finds out that [Revolution] has been destroyed, I’m sure he’ll make the proper decision”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura trembled a bit and asked: “Which means the True Demons will retreat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm, and the war will end”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan poured himself a glass of liquor and slowly enjoyed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who would’ve thought a decisive war for the 900 million World Layers would end in such a manner” Laura sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t this a good thing?” Gu Qing Shan smiled, “the [Demon King Order] failed, and we were able to prevent excessive war casualties”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah right, I need to ask you something” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ask” Laura replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the level of the [Demon King Order] in the Fallen Zones right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Apparently it was one step above [Revolution], I think I don’t remember what exactly it was called?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it powerful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, all of the True Demons carry that main [Order], and the True Demons are extremely powerful. They’re like heaven and earth compared to the Demon Lords that are simply weapons of war”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems now isn’t the time to go toe-to-toe against the main [Demon King Order] just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s too powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also need to become more powerful as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the War God UI, about to check the process of his War God Quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura inched closer and spoke mystically: “Hey Gu Qing Shan, I have a secret”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan can only ignore the War God Quest for now and asked: “What kind of secret?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura looked around, confirming that there wasn’t anyone else here, and that the door were closed before the spoke: “I awakened three abilities”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve told me that”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first ability is [Infinite Worlds’ Protection], the second is [Will of the Empress], can you guess what the third one is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know, and I suggest you don’t reveal it. It’s always good to leave yourself a trump card that no one knows about” Gu Qing Shan sternly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura pursed her lips: “This ability isn’t really something you can call a trump card”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even so, you shouldn’t reveal it, knowing it yourself is enough”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…It’s fine if I tell you”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, Laura reached her hand out to thin air, about to grab something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following her gesture, half of her arm disappeared into the void of space, apparently sinking into a different dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on here? Where’s your arm?” Gu Qing Shan was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, I’m just looking for something” Laura\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking for something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan carefully looked again——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura really does look like she’s reaching her hand into a box to search for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost like drawing lots from a prize box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, Laura’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!” she cheerfully yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her hand returned from the void of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a small, round purple shield in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura offered the shield to Gu Qing Shan as if she was presenting something precious and declared: “Look, this is my new ability!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan took the shield and looked at it in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield itself was quite petite, not particularly heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A power unknown to Gu Qing Shan drifted about the face of the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Mage Alliance Captain’s Shield]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Grade: Epic]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unique ability: Using the power of Ether, this shield can block the majority of magical attacks]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[War God Skills: This shield is a standard mass-produced item for the Mage Alliance’s troops, it doesn’t include any learnable Skills]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Doomsday Chronicles: This is a brand new standard Mage Alliance Captain’s Shield]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked at the shield for a while, still confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, it’s a good shield, but nothing particularly special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm… so, being able to summon a shield at any time, this is your third ability?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dummy, that’s not it!” Laura protested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently a bit angry, she once again reached her hand into the void of space and searched around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura found another item and pulled her hand back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was a naginata.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tossing the naginata to Gu Qing Shan, Laura spoke in annoyance: “Look again”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan received the naginata and obediently checked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Legendary-grade naginata, within the 900 million World Layers, this should be a cold weapon that you only come across once in a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How excellent!” Gu Qing Shan praised, “I get it now, your third ability is to be able to summon anything from the royal treasury as you like, correct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incorrect” Laura denied it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incorrect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was confused again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that wasn’t the case, then where did this naginata and shield come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This ability of mine is called [Vagrant Treasure’s Collector]” Laura gave him a hint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vagrant Treasure’s—- Collector?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan thought about it briefly and exclaimed: “It couldn’t be—-”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he understood, Laura proudly smiled: “That’s right, within the 900 million World Layers, any items that are lost, unowned, or scattered, are fair game to this ability”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whenever I activate it, I can freely look around the void of space for these vagrant treasures”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about it and asked: “Such a powerful ability must require quite a heavy price”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, that’s actually true”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of price is it?” Gu Qing Shan became anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll feel a bit hungry…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1817,"2026-06-09T03:05:23.509Z",1,"novelbin.me","303b72aba764b0a5cc0d76ec0a8e923b3c0b1a96c0709400aabd894a26e6d0b0","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-616","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-614",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
