World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 590

Within endless space.

A giant sailboat appeared.

“Four more World Layers on the left head”
“Direction confirmed”
“Approaching warzone”
“Sending out identity verification”
“Waiting!”

A few moments later, hurried footsteps could be heard from the deck of the ship.

The footsteps continued all the way until it reached the captain's room.

“Report, Chairman! The frontline has confirmed our identity and requested us to immediately engage in battle!”

An old man with a long white beard stood with his back to the one reporting and muttered: “So urgently? It seems the war situation is quite severe”

Next to him, a few other robed old men stood exchanging glances, sensing the worry in each other's eyes.

Someone asked in confusion: “Over a few hundred different organizations and empires had jointly participated in the allied army, why is the war situation still this fierce?”

“Not to mention, the strongest Lord-class Combatants have all joined in the battle already” another old man commented.

At this time, someone else ran into the captain's room and hurriedly spoke: “Report! Our allied army has surrounded Aboul, but Triste has obtained the sealed world, the situation has fallen into a stalemate”

Following that, a third intelligence officer came running in and reported: “Chairman, the [Demon King Order] has brought reinforcement in, several thousand True Demon Generals have entered the war zone”

“Several thousand True Demon Generals!” someone exclaimed in shock.

“Yes, the same force that finally took down the Fallen Zones during the last all-out war”

“That's very bad”
“It seems they really are holding nothing back!”

The group inside the captain's room were loudly discussing this.

Someone couldn't help but speak: “For over a thousand years, we've always been fighting them, but this was the first time we've seen them being this desperate”

The captain's room fell into silence.

Everyone fell into thought.

Out of nowhere, a white pigeon appeared in the room, flew around the room a bit before landing on the old man with the white beard's shoulder.

The old man took a piece of paper off of the pigeon's leg and solemnly looked at it.

“Take a look at this, this is from a spy I had placed in the Fallen Zones, he just sent me the newest intel”

The old man gave the paper to the one next to him.

[The Lord of True Demons had set out and would soon take command of the main demon army at the frontline] reading this message out loud, everyone's faces went pale.

Each of them checked the paper as their expressions became more and more severe.

Even this True Demon that was the closest to the realm of Demon King had also set out.

The scales of war were about to tilt horribly against them.

The old man with the white beard sighed: “It seems the demons are desperate to obtain whatever is sealed in Triste's world”
“I have a faint idea what it might be, so we definitely have to stop them”

His gaze became stern.

“Send out my orders”
“All members of the Spire Keeper Association will enter the frontline and participate in the war immediately!”

Hearing that, everyone couldn't help but straighten their backs and shout: “Yes!”

Within endless space, the giant sailboat adjusted its direction a bit and began heading in another direction.

Millions of similar but smaller sailboats were behind it, increasing their speed to follow the giant sailboat.

They were heading to the frontline warzone.

------------

On another side.

Triste's collection world.

The lost world of the Old Gods.

Tidal city.

Empress Li Yang once again chanted the long incantation to try and summon the Huang Quan Devil King.

But the drifting mist still showed no change.

This time, even the other three Devil Kings were surprised.

『 Mother, what do you think about this?  』

Li Yang looked at the Progenitor Fiendess and asked in confusion.

Only to see that the Progenitor Fiendess was staring at Gu Qing Shan with a strange expression on her face.

She said: 『 Would the three Devil Kings please use your Seats of Tribulation to sense where the Huang Quan Devil King is?  』

The Hunger Devil King, Bloodthirsty Devil King and Malahoh Devil King all tried to use their Seats of Tribulation to sense where the Huang Quan Devil King was.

In just a few moments, they all looked at Gu Qing Shan.

『 Huang Quan… Devil King?  』the Hunger Devil King spoke in disbelief.

『 This is the one who triggered the Tribulation, isn't he? Why did the Huang Quan Devil King Seat of Tribulation appear on him?  』the Bloodthirsty Devil King asked suspiciously.

『 How interesting, a holder of the Seat of Tribulation is also the one facing the Tribulation, this is completely unheard of  』the Malahoh Devil King spoke.

The Progenitor Fiendess muttered: 『 No, that can't be right, Huang Quan is the realm of the dead, but he's a living person, how could he be the Huang Quan Devil King?  』

At this point, everyone realized what was going on.

Gu Qing Shan was actually the Huang Quan Devil King!

Laura shouted: “Gu Qing Shan, what's going on here? Are you already dead?”

Li Yang also looked at him: 『 Aren't you going to explain?  』

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a scepter.

A jet black shaft with a horned black skull at one end, the Devil King Warden Rod.

As it appeared, the Rod was already giving off a faint sound that almost couldn't be heard.

This was the calling of Heaven's Tribulation to the Huang Quan Devil King.

Because Gu Qing Shan himself was a living person as well as the one facing the Tribulation, it couldn't grant him the Seat of Tribulation, so it gave the Seat to the Devil King Warden Rod instead.

Gu Qing Shan gently stroked the Devil King Warden Rod, thinking about the battles he went through in hell and sighed: “That's correct, I am the Huang Quan Devil King”

『 How is that possible? Did you perhaps bypass the Law of life and death and revived yourself?  』the Progenitor asked.

“No, I only used a certain technique to fake my death and enter Huang Quan as a soul----- because at the time I had some business I needed to take care of in Huang Quan”

While he said that casually, everyone just fell silent at his words.

What an unimaginable story, you said you needed to take care of some business in Huang Quan--------- but a living, breathing person is actually the ruler of hell, who's going to believe that?
Yet the Seat of Tribulation really did appear on him.

Empress Li Yang took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

『 Very well, then let us talk in details about this time's Tribulation  』

She repeated what she told the Fiend Kings.

『 Devil Kings, do you have any objections to our plans during this Tribulation?  』she asked.

The Devil Kings said nothing for now.

They were still staring at Gu Qing Shan.

“It's very rare for a Tribulation to be able to give this much benefits, so I thought no one would reject this offer-------- or perhaps you have something else you want to do?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The Malahoh Devil King spoke first: 『 It's not really that I have other things to do, I'm just curious  』

“Curious?”

『 That's right, you're still a living person, even if you have the ability to infiltrate Huang Quan, how did you gain the support of over billions of dead people? How did you actually gain the title of Huang Quan Devil King?  』

“That's probably because I killed quite a few of the ones that tried to disobey me” Gu Qing Shan explained.

『 Hah?  』

Hearing that, the three Devil Kings were intrigued.

That's quite the tale he's telling, just what kind of massacre must've happened for a living person to become the ruler of hell?

The three Devil Kings were very interested in this, so they exchanged glances and quickly decided something among themselves.

The Bloodthirsty Devil King spat out a shining pearl from its mouth and spoke: 『 When it comes to killing, I want to see what kind of thing you actually did  』

It shined the pearl on the Devil King Warden Rod.

The glow of the pearl quickly got brighter to squarely envelop the scepter.

“What is that?” Gu Qing Shan scowled.

『 Don't worry, it's just a clairvoyance technique to see what kind of experience a weapon had gone through  』the Bloodthirsty Devil King replied.

A blood-coloured screen was quickly projected from the pearl and formed a clear image.

In the image, Gu Qing Shan held the Devil King Warden Rod in his hand, standing in hell and sighed: “The bunch of you, do you really think I'd be opening some sort of charity work after I became the Devil King?”

Following his voice, countless screams of pain and agony echoed through hell.

Over a quadrillion dead people were erased at once.

The image changed.

Countless demons came from the sky, about to destroy the human realm.

Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the mountain and raised his scepter.

An invisible power poured out from the scepter to envelop the entire world.

His voice came after: “You all won't die, go and devour them!”

Countless voices followed his order.

“For the Devil King!”
“Yes! Great Devil King!”
“Long live the Devil King!”
“Go!!!”
“Devour them!”

With waves of thunderous roars, almost a quintillion dead people crawled on the bodies of gigantic demons, devouring them in a frenzy.

The demons were quickly eaten until only their bones were left.

The image dissipated.

Everyone was still stunned.

He coldly erased over a quadrillion dead people.

He commanded the dead people of hell to devour countless demons and even Demon Lords.

There were only two scenes shown, but they both shook everyone without end.

“So handsome… That's how a king should be” Laura's eyes were glowing in awe as she commented in a low voice.

The others said nothing.

Seeing how silent everyone was, Gu Qing Shan glanced to Empress Li Yang to signal her to speak.

But Li Yang was still stunned.

Gu Qing Shan could only clear his throat and spoke: “Alright, that was all in the past, what we need to discuss is in the present”

“Do the three Devil Kings have any objections to my offer during this Tribulation?” he asked.

A moment of silence.

All three Devil Kings replied: 『 We have no objections!  』
