Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1508: Discerning

Endless dark fog silently appeared from the underground river, turning into thin flower petals that circled around Reneedol, slowly attaching to her body and covering it.

She uttered clear chiming laughter:

“My sisters, you will no longer be able to scheme against me after this”

“From now on, I will only do what I truly want to do!”

The orange cat was still hidden, but while he was hesitating on what to do, he decided to temporarily continue watching after hearing this.

——-Reneedol.

What is it that you truly want to do?

The countless black petals continuously circled around Reneedol, whenever they attached themselves to her, they would then disappear.

After a few dozen seconds, all the black petals disappeared, and the underground river also returned to normal.

“Power! The power of Fate!”

As Reneedol called out, two blurry figures appeared behind her, which seemed to be her older sisters.

As soon as the two figures appeared, they hurriedly tried to run away from Reneedol.

Countless thin strands of thread appeared from her body to restrain both of them.

The figures then quickly returned to Reneedol’s body.

She opened her beautiful yet frigidly cold eyes, softly announcing almost like a harmonious chant:

“Your souls shall be forever imprisoned in my hands, give up and accept your fates as my source of power!”

“Even if the Myriad Deities were to be resurrected, they would still dance upon the palm of Fate, they cannot do against my will, unless they want everything they’ve worked so hard for to ultimately return to nothingness”

——-she had the appearance of an angel, a pure and pristine existence, but the words that came out of her lips were filled with cruelty and bloodthirstiness.

The featureless humanoid face floated in mid-air and asked: 「 The power has been fully absorbed, what about this corpse? 」

Thud!

A dead body came out of its mouth and fell on the ground.

Lachesis.

Lachesis’ body had now completely withered up like a dried tree branch, which gave off a hard sound as it fell on the ground.

Reneedol glanced at the corpse and said: “From now on, I am the only Lady of Fate, everything of the past should return to dust”

「 As you wish 」the dark featureless humanoid face spoke.

Lachesis’ body was instantly reduced to dust and became scattered all over the ground.

Reneedol no longer paid any attention to it and said: “Time for official business”

Her body flashed and took flight, heading downstream of the underground river.

She moved extremely quickly, disappearing almost instantly.

This divine palace that was half-submerged in water returned to silence.

Time slowly passed.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Discreetly, a cat’s paw reached out and formed a hand seal.

The dust and dirt that had been scattered by the wind once again gathered into a mass on the ground.

The orange cat appeared from the darkness, closely observing this mass of dirt.

Earlier, Reneedol seemed to have absorbed all of this individual’s powers.

——this mass of dirt used to be one of the three legendary sisters of Fate?

From what Reneedol said earlier, the only person left among the three sisters of Fate was her.

She had obtained the complete power of Fate!

The orange cat walked around the mass of dirt a few times, his eyes full of various thoughts.

Reneedol is no longer afraid of the Myriad Deities.

What would she do after this?

—–regardless of what she plans to do, it would be very tough for me to deal with it.

Because of that, I need to figure out her stance as soon as possible!

With that in mind, the orange cat put the mass of dirt and dust away into his Inventory Bag and swiftly pursued her.

Reneedol was moving rapidly, so the orange cat had to continuously use [Ground Shrink] in order to catch up.

This place was where the underground river ended, all of the water had gathered here over the years to form an insurmountably deep lake.

The walls around the lake depicted the form of various Deities, all of which were singing, laughing, happily living their lives in the forests and green meadows.

——-from this, it looked as if they had only just been born and were beginning to comprehend this world.

Reneedol stood at the very center of the lake and extended her arms, loudly declaring: “Creator of the Myriad Deities, Lord of all things, come out!”

The calm lake slowly began to fluctuate, which eventually looked like it was boiling.

Countless tentacles appeared from the water, then combined with one another to form a large writhing ball of flesh.

This ball of flesh eventually formed the visage of an old man, his face was filled with numerous tiny vertical irises that each gave off a black ray of light as soon as they opened to look at Reneedol.

Reneedol didn’t move at all.

But behind her, a dark featureless humanoid face quickly appeared, opened its large mouth, and fully consumed the black rays of light.

Seeing that, the vertical irises slowly closed again, returning the face to that of a normal old man. historical

The old man spoke:

「 Final Deity of Fate, you were manifested from the Laws that I carry. I am now heeding your words, so you had better choose them carefully 」

Reneedol chuckled: “You—- are afraid of me, aren’t you?”

The old man replied: 「 Ignorant spirit of Law, you were my creation, how would I be afraid of you? 」

Reneedol casually replied: “In the ancient legends of the past, you created millions of Deities in order to fight against the Apocalypse. There were no issues during this process, except for the fact that you had also created something that frightened even yourself”

「 The Laws came from me; how would I be wary of them 」the old man scoffed.

Reneedol observed him and softly continued: “Because you discovered that not even you were able to surpass Fate. No matter what you did, or how you thought, you continued to remain within the net of Fate”

The old man didn’t say anything and stared straight at Reneedol with a terrifying gaze.

Reneedol continued: “How strange it was. It was clearly your own creation, so how could it instead control you?”

“No one could ever accept such a result, and especially not you”

“And so, each of the other Laws only had a single Overlord, but the Law of Fate was weakened by you time and time again, which eventually fell under the joint control of three sisters”

Reneedol laughed, then continued: “—–but now, Fate had once again become one”

The old man stared straight at her and asked: 「 What exactly are you trying to say? 」

Reneedol took a step forward, clenching her fist tightly and said: “I know that you hold the Myriad Deities in your hands. I want you to let go of them now”

「 And why should I listen to you? 」the old man scoffed.

“The Apocalypses had arrived, from the perspective of Fate, the future era had been determined to be the time of the Deities’ awakening, what meaning would there be in you capturing them like this?” Reneedol curtly asked.

The old man went silent briefly before answering: 「 I also want to continue existing, and I need to find myself a suitable body in order to continue living in the new era 」

Reneedol easily accepted: “That is reasonable, I accept. You are free to choose any of the Myriad Deities to use as your body”

The old man continued: 「 I have examined each and every Deity, from which I had found the body most suitable for myself 」

“Which one?” Reneedol asked.

The old man didn’t answer, but a tentacle appeared from his face to create a screen of light.

The screen displayed the scene of Shroud and Gu Qing Shan’s group hiding in the secret room while fighting against the tentacle.

Shroud’s face appeared on the screen and was quickly zoomed in.

「 He is the body I want, catch him for me, and we shall continue discussing the future 」the old man said.

Reneedol’s expression changed, no longer as calm as before.

“Why him?” Reneedol asked.

「 Because Radiance derives into all Laws, only his body is suitable for me to continue taking control over the mortal realm, once again becoming the King of Deities 」the old man explained.

Reneedol went silent again.

The orange cat was still hiding nearby, silently listening to them, so he was a bit surprised.

Reneedol had regained her memories and recalled everything that happened except during the Samsara’s descent into the world——-

Has she become attached to Shroud?

「 Why aren’t you saying anything? Could it be that you want to make things difficult with even this simplest first demand? 」the old man grimly said.

“Must it be him?” Reneedol asked.

「 Indeed, I need only him 」the old man persisted.

Reneedol continued to remain silent.

The orange cat silently peeked his head out to take a closer look at this.

Has she really gotten attached to Boss?

If this was true, then everything Boss had done up to now wouldn’t be a waste.

After a while, under the orange cat’s scrutinizing gaze, Reneedol finally spoke up again:

“If you take a closer look, you can see that the Death God is also with him—— would the Death God not be OK instead?”

The orange cat’s originally swinging tail abruptly went stiff.

The old man shook his head: 「 Who would be willing to become the Death God? No Law had ever liked the end, and I am no exception 」

Reneedol sighed and said: “Then there is no way for us to reach any sort of agreement after all”

「 For what reason? Why aren’t you willing to hand over this body to me? 」the old man asked disappointedly.

After saying that, the old man once again dispersed into countless tentacles.

All the tentacles moved around, the vertical irises all over them became focused on Reneedol and prepared to attack.

Reneedol took a step back, manifesting layers of black flower petals around her body and also made the final preparations for the ensuing battle.

“Because he is mine, nobody can take him from me” Reneedol replied.
