Worlds’ Apocalypse Online Chapter 181

Chapter 181 - The pope

Edited by: VindiFan#1 & Arya

TN: previous chapters and upcoming chapters will change the word “Elixir”( chapter 173) to “Serum”, sorry for any confusion.

From ages of old, those who stood at the top of the food chain have always arbitrarily started wars that cost hundreds of thousands, or millions of lives, for the smallest bit of profit for themselves.

In the long history of humanity, such occurrences have become commonplace.

And this time, what they’re being offered is eternal life.

If the famous tyrants of history were offered such a chance, what would they choose?

What does a mere loss of over 10,000 lives mean to them?

And it’s the same with powerful Professionists.

Even if over a million people, or ten million people in the world die, as long as they themselves gain eternal life, that’s a good deal.

And there’s more people who die every day, that’s as normal as the sun rising in the morning.

But if they manage to survive that struggle, when they finally obtain eternal life, all wthat’s awaiting them is a horrible death at the hands of a strange clown, then why even bother?

The Game of Eternal triggers humanity’s intense desire to live forever.

And the Murder Clown douses that desire with cold water.

Everyone regained their senses.

A mere dozen minutes after the Murder Clown disappeared, the effects of its actions had already erupted all over the world.

The appearance of the Murder Clown is just as mysterious, if not even more mysterious than the Game of Eternal.

Because it had already escaped from the territory of the unknown, and instead penetrated deeply into the territory of society’s world order.

Even mechanical devices without any feelings like the Holo-Brains were under its control.

And it’s not any Holo-Brain we’re talking about here.

——–it’s literally every Holo-Brain in the world.

Holo-Brains are cold and unloving machines, they won’t be fooled by any sort of mystical spells, yet the Murder Clown was able to do what he did.

Then what else can he manipulate?

War machines?

If you follow this line of thought, you’ll soon realize just how terrifying what just happened was.

Every country was in an uproar again, for a completely different reason.

The Holy Empire.

The Royal Palace.

Two royal guards as well as two priests were quickly walking forward.

The Holy Empire’s king, the Holy Church’s pope, as well as numerous palace officials were gathered here.

“Report”

“Speak”

“We detected no traces of machine manipulation left behind, the situation is the same in every other country”

“Could it have been manually done? Someone took control of everyone’s Holo-Brains at the same time” the pope softly asked.

“No one can manually control every single Holo-Brain in the world at the same time, that’s just not physically possible” the head royal guard said.

“What about other countries?” the pope asked.

“Fuxi Empire’s emperor threw his favorite porcelain item in anger, ordering people to check it, but no results came”

“The Freedom Confederate’s President and the representatives of the 9 Lords are currently in a meeting ——very rarely will they ignore all their differences to gather in one place like this, but from what we know, they haven’t managed to arrive at any conclusions yet”

“Then what about that Game of Eternal from before?”

“It’s the same, we found no leftover traces”

“The Game of Eternal’s champion was killed by the Murder Clown using a method that we don’t understand, but no one managed find either of them”

The pope stayed silent for a bit, then suddenly asked: “Have you found the recipe for the God’s Chosen Awakening Serum?”

“We’ve still only managed to find half”

The pope shook her head in disappointment and directly left the palace, ignoring everyone there.

Everyone was shocked at such an uncharacteristic action from the pope.

But no one dared to say anything about her being disrespectful.

The pope continued to ignore everyone and went by herself onto a horse-pulled carriage, letting the 10 white horses pulled her carriage past the large fountain square in front of the palace and headed towards the Holy Sanctuary at the East.

In the carriage, the pope seemed to be staring at the fleeting scenery outside, but said nothing.

When the carriage finally stopped before the gates of the Holy Sanctuary, she finally let out a sigh.

No one managed to hear her mutter: “It’s too fast, even this planet… isn’t safe anymore?”

The S.W. Divine Temple.

A crimson red staff was thrown to the ground, letting out a metal clanking sound.

“What a good item” Zhang Ying Hao picked it up and tried holding it in his hand.

“Let’s hide it away first, the entire world had seen this little toy already” Gu Qing Shan said.

[The materials of this staff isn’t the same as any known substances, I need to record its data and characteristics] Impartial Goddess said.

“Then take it” Zhang Ying Hao answered.

He put the staff back down on the ground.

A mechanical arm reached out and pulled the staff under the floor panels.

[Sir, what I did this time has violated a total of 15 protocols that humanity had set up for me] Impartial Goddess spoke.

“But your actions had frightened the people, making them not wanting to risk their lives for nothing” Gu Qing Shan said without lifting his head.

[Violating the protocols is still wrong] Impartial Goddess continued, [This is the first time I’ve tried being a hacker]

“But from doing this, you’ll have saved countless lives, my friend, you need to learn to be flexible”

[Do you believe your method to be correct sir?]

“It’s definitely correct” Gu Qing Shan stopped and very serious spoke, “we might follow law and order, but in the face of desperation, the only real law is forged from swords and spears”

[I understand] Impartial Goddess replied.

“Come help me” saying so, Gu Qing Shan was quickly sketching out a mechanical part’s blueprint.

He was busy creating the building blocks for the [Protector of the Planet]’s core System.

Liao Xing was also with him.

The two of them were constantly drawing each part for the System on separate screens.

As soon as they finished one blueprint, the screen will immediately refresh, giving them the next part and problem for them to resolve.

They were so busy that they didn’t even have the time to eat.

Zhang Ying Hao patted Ye Fei Li on the shoulder and asked: “How does it feel?”

Ye Fei Li was a bit regretful: “After breaking the sound barrier, the flying speed was too great, so I’ve not had the chance to try out many of the features”

“The voice doesn’t sound like you”

“Impartial Goddess said that was the voice she calculated would be the easiest to create fear in people’s hearts”

“Nice, Impartial Goddess is indeed correct” Zhang Ying Hao said: “But then, what was that last thing you did?”

Ye Fei Li answered: “After Man Killer Fiends evolve to a certain degree, they’ll automatically gain a special ability”

“Originally I wanted to just twist his neck” he pridefully explained, “but after thinking, out of all the Man Killer Fiends, I’m the only one that evolved and gained this ability, plus it’s so much more visual than using space lasers, so I used it”

Zhang Ying Hao spoke with admiration: “God damn, although I can’t learn how to use your blood glow thing, I have to request the guy to make me a personal armor as well”

During the following period, Gu Qing Shan was fully focused on developing the game, while Liao Xing was busy experimenting with miniaturizing the warp device, both of them were so busy they actually completely forgot about time.

Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li were busy getting along, after staring at Gu Qing Shan’s work for a while, they both agreed that it wasn’t something interesting to them.

And they can’t even help with it at all.

After a while, they had Impartial Goddess give them each a screen to play an online game.

Time quickly passed, then night time quickly came again.

An old voice was heard once more.

『 The second round of the Game of Eternal has officially begun 』

The voice was not near yet not far; it was emitted from inside of everyone’s mind the same as before.

Unlike the uproar it caused the first time, after witnessing the Game of Eternal and the Murder Clown one after another, humanity had started to get used to it.
