BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1053 - Black Umbrella
Chapter 1053: Black Umbrella
Within the space vortex, the black coffins were constantly raining down from above, surrounding the two Deities within.
The old lady curled her body inward and shrunk, turning into the giant snake’s tail and no longer displayed her own body.
Around her, some of the black coffins had already opened.
Corpses flew out from inside the coffins.
The corpses were equipped with tattered, broken armor and weapons, seemingly originating from countless years ago.
The presence they gave off were all at the baseline of Demigods, fully maintaining their aura while they were still alive.
And they charged towards the two Deities.
The giant black snake started to strike a certain direction with the purple light whips.
Every corpse in that direction was wiped out.
The giant black snake wanted to escape using this opening but was once again stopped by the Soul Shrieker.
『「 You want to flee? Leave that carrier of [Order] behind! 』」
The Soul Shrieker roared and pounded the giant snake’s body with all six of its arms at once.
The impact caused the giant black snake to lose balance again, losing its final chance at escape.
Seeing that, the Soul Shrieker also tried unleashing some grey flames to massacre a large number of corpses at once.
After these corpses were eliminated, the coffins that carried them closed up and returned above.
The Soul Shrieker loudly mocked: 『「 And here I was wondering what kind of thing you were afraid of. Just a bunch of Demigod-level corpses managed to scare you this much? 』」
While it spoke, more and more coffins opened up.
Numerous corpses appeared one after another.
All of a sudden, a particularly huge coffin opened.
A giant emerged from inside.
As soon as the Soul Shrieker saw this giant, it went quiet.
The aura this giant gave off was even more powerful than its own.
As the giant appeared, another coffin opened.
Half the body of a beautiful woman emerged.
——another Deity!
As if there was no end to them, the coffins continued to descend one after another from above.
Countless corpses emerged from the coffins without stopping.
Among them was a towering headless body that donned a suit of armor exuding an air of vicissitudes.
—–yet another Deity!
In a short period of time, the corpse of three Deities had appeared!
This time, the Soul Shrieker was shocked as well.
——–I can’t possibly fight against this many Demigods and Deities by myself.
If more corpses of Deities show up after this...
It didn’t have time to think any further.
The giant and the woman had already engaged the God of Life in combat.
The armored headless corpse was slowly approaching it.
『「 Tsk, you’re courting death! 』」
The Soul Shrieker charged forward and clashed against the armored Deity corpse with all its might.
Bam!
The void shook.
The Soul Shrieker was forced to retreat.
The armored Deity corpse only trembled a bit and received no visible wounds.
The Soul Shrieker muttered in a low voice: 『「 Damn it, its power isn’t any weaker than mine...』」
It was constantly thinking, trying to come up with a way to resolve this situation when another mass of coffins descended not too far away from where it was.
The coffin lids were opened.
Several hundred corpses emerged from inside.
Most of them were Demigod-level Combatants, and yet there were still over a dozen of them that exuded Deity-level aura.
Over a dozen Deities.
They all approached the two Deities and whispered in unison: 〖 Come forward, fall with us into eternal slumber 〗
The Soul Shrieker’s pupils contracted and couldn’t help but retreat a few steps.
Even if I’m the only Deity of [Chaos], if I were to go against so many Deities, there is only one possible outcome—– that would be death!
The Soul Shrieker couldn’t help itself looking up into the deep space vortex.
Only to see the coffins continued raining down like an autumn shower, constant and without any end in sight.
A certain thought appeared in the Soul Shrieker’s mind——
More Deity corpses will surely appear.
Demigods and Deities have already shown up, perhaps the ones depicted only in myths will also descend.
『「 What exactly is going on...? 』」
The Soul Shrieker couldn’t help but mutter to itself.
It was only now that it realized what the God of Life was afraid of.
But it seemed everything was too late.
...
On the other side.
Gu Qing Shan’s group silently watched this eerie sight.
“What do we do now?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
Even when they had retreated far enough, even when he was equipped full of artifacts that Laura provided, he could still feel cold sweat running down his forehead.
He was shivering again.
As if this couldn’t be helped and couldn’t be controlled, as this was the most instinctive sense of fear embedded within the soul of living beings.
“I suggest that we escape right away” Boss told them with an anxious expression.
“Do you know where these black coffins come from?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“A few of them are the soldiers and Deities who lost their lives during the destruction of the Inner Plane many years ago, but a large number of them, I don’t recognize at all!” Boss told him.
This was the first time Gu Qing Shan sensed fear within Boss’ voice.
“Oh no... I didn’t think the situation would turn out like this, we need to change our strategy—- and quickly!” Gu Qing Shan said.
He turned to everyone: “Listen, this is our best chance! We need to charge forward now!”
Everyone went silent.
Best chance?
Charge forward now?
Everyone felt like he was insane.
With the black coffins constantly raining down without end, a situation where two Deities were desperately struggling for a bleak chance at survival, you’re calling that a chance?
“Qing Shan, what are you thinking?” Laura nervously asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I’ve checked just now, while these corpses are powerful and numerous, they only retain their perception from while they were still alive, unable to see through unique abilities”
——-before he made his declaration, the jade gourd pendant Adorable had landed on top of a corpse, flying towards the two Deities with it.
“You’re saying that they can’t detect my [Shelter of Infinite Worlds]?” Laura asked.
“Exactly!”
Gu Qing Shan patted Zhang Ying Hao’s shoulder: “Ying Hao, we need to split up and act right away. After getting that Card, we’re leaving”
“...” Zhang Ying Hao really didn’t know what to say.
At this point, Xuan Ya and the Demis had all entered the mirror worlds, leaving only Gu Qing Shan, Boss, Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li, and Laura here.
Gu Qing Shan quickly informed everyone of his plan.
Each person was assigned a task to do.
At this point, the God of Life’s desperate screams could be heard from inside the encirclement.
『 Aaaaa—– all of you—– don’t come any closer! 』
The old lady was displaying unprecedented distress.
Boom!
The Soul Shrieker was sent flying by two Deity corpses, crashing with a huge sound of impact.
“There’s not much time, we need to act now!”
Gu Qing Shan said.
Everyone nodded and prepared to act.
——–act my ass!!
Laura leapt forward and chomped Gu Qing Shan on his shoulder.
“Gu Qing Shan, if I die from this, I won’t forgive you even as a ghost!”
The little girl begrudging told him.
Zhang Ying Hao blankly stared at the faraway scene of carnage and muttered: “...I feel like a stray dog wandering into a nuclear explosion”
Ye Fei Li thought briefly then commented: “If this is compared to a game, this is like creating a brand-new character, only to see the final BOSS of the entire game at newbie town, then finding out that your first mission is to kill it”
Boss wasn’t quite as shaken as the others and asked Gu Qing Shan in confirmation: “How sure are you?”
“If we don’t waste any time, 50%” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“That much? Good enough”
“That’s right, so let’s begin!”
Right as he said so, Gu Qing Shan reached his hand forward.
An umbrella appeared in his hand.
Unlike Laura’s flower umbrella, the umbrella in his hand was black and was much larger.
[Shelter of Infinite Worlds]
This was his own [Shelter of Infinite Worlds]!
“I remembered that you once borrowed the Soul Shrieker’s Holy Retribution, can you always borrow other people’s abilities like this?” Boss asked with interest.
“No, this ability needs a downtime, otherwise there will be issues” Gu Qing Shan replied.
