Hundreds of bandits were slowly approaching [The Empress].
Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight scanned through the void and understood the current situation.
The other party intended to attack them.
He sent his voice to Laura: “Laura, pilot the ship, we can’t waste much time here”
“Got it. Gu Qing Shan, you were really awesome just now!”
Laura got busy piloting the ship but still managed to spare time to praise him.
The ship quickly began to move.
The bandits also noticed that it was moving.
They piloted their own ships to block [The Empress]’s way.
More and more of the bandits started to move.
They were charging towards the ship with all their might.
——–all the [Chaos] UI had issued a Quest for them to kill Gu Qing Shan.
Watching those carriers of [Chaos], Gu Qing Shan suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise: “If the Era of [Chaos] has begun, why haven’t any [Chaos] tried to attach themselves to us yet?”
Boss told him: “You’re the carrier of [Order]. Since the [Demon King Order] has already reached the [Demon King Ascension] stage, it’s already stronger than any primary-level [Chaos], so they won’t approach you”
“Then what about you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“I’m a person of high status, none of them dare to approach and bother me” Boss replied.
Zhang Ying Hao regretfully complained: “I’m actually quite interested in [Chaos], so why hasn’t it come to find me?”
Gu Qing Shan and Bossed looked towards him at the same time.
“Are you sure you want to try it?” Boss asked.
“Will there be any danger?” Zhang Ying Hao asked him in return.
“There will be a lot of carriers of [Chaos] trying to kill you” Boss told him in a solemn tone.
“Is that it?”
“That’s it. Since the Era of [Chaos] had descended, the Envoy of [Chaos] would grow stronger from the feedback, but in exchange lose the power to thoroughly take control of other carriers, so you won’t need to worry about the Soul Shrieker” Boss explained.
Listening to this explanation, Gu Qing Shan nodded.
At the time when he was in the corpse of the parallel world, the War God UI didn’t stop him from carrying [Chaos].
The War God UI only reminded him to carefully consider his choices and actions.
In truth, the majority of the grudge that [Chaos] held against him was only due to the fact that he was the last carrier of [Order].
“If that’s the case, I understand”
Zhang Ying Hao mused and nodded.
He stood up and looked outside the ship, pointing his hand forward.
A small black pistol appeared in his hand.
Zhang Ying Hao’s eyes turned sharp as he pulled the trigger.
A short shivering sound emerged from the pistol:
“Haaaaaa—–hm——-”
A short burst of fire appeared outside the muzzle of the gun.
Although the sound seemed a bit shocked, the power exerted was truly considerable.
Blood splattered everywhere.
One of the bandit leaders’ heads exploded in one shot.
Zhang Ying Hao’s expression changed a bit as he looked at the void of space in front of him.
“Ah, so this is [Chaos]?”
Zhang Ying Hao asked in interest.
As soon as the other party died, a gloomy grey UI appeared in front of his eyes.
“What kind of [Chaos] is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“It’s telling me that I’m going to become a primary-level Envoy of Plunder” Zhang Ying Hao replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
Back then, I had to kill five carriers of [Chaos], then proceed to kill the Envoy of [Chaos] before I obtained a unique personal [Chaos] UI——-
The [Demon Dragon Slayer] UI.
Now that the Era of [Chaos] has descended, does Zhang Ying Hao still need to kill the Envoy of [Chaos] to obtain his unique personal UI?
If every carrier of [Chaos] needs to kill the Envoy of [Chaos], there would be only a single person with a unique UI.
That doesn’t make sense.
“Hm… Zhang Ying Hao, I have a certain conjecture, you can try it out” Gu Qing Shan told him.
All around them from the space vortex, countless bandits were charging at them without stopping.
“Tell me”
“Kill a few more carriers of [Chaos]”
“Simple enough”
Zhang Ying Hao put his gun away, then drew a Card and threw it out.
Poof!
A mossy green giant lizard appeared in front of them.
It glanced at the group of people with its large vertical eyes while faint green mist drifted around its body.
「 So many people, are you hosting an afternoon tea party? 」the lizard asked.
“No, they’re here to kill people”
While answering, Zhang Ying Hao was holding a Card with both hands and scrunching it up.
Two puffs of white mist drifted from his hand.
The Card had vanished.
A straight black dagger and a bright red curved dagger appeared in each of Zhang Ying Hao’s hands.
Wielding the two daggers, he hopped onto the lizard’s back and vanished in front of the other three, together with the lizard.
At this point, the bandits had already gotten very close to [The Empress].
Despite facing retaliation, their battle formation and coordination was maintained without fail.
It was obvious they were long-term battle-hardened veterans.
Unfortunately, they ran into a true assassin.
A faint green mist suddenly started to drift in the middle of these people’s formation.
With great proficiency, two daggers were drawing a bright red arc that stretched from one end of their vision to the other.
A long but straight arc was drawn across the heads of every enemy in their sight.
Zhang Ying Hao turned into a shadow and appeared behind each person for just the blink of an eye.
A swift forward slash was all it took to take an opponent’s head.
Occasionally, when the angle wasn’t quite as convenient as he’d like, Zhang Ying Hao would give up on taking off their heads, instead he stabbed the dagger into their spinal cord from their backs and simply twisted the blade.
Everyone was dead.
Their bodies were whisked away by the intense wind of the space vortex and were sent spiraling far away.
“I heard that Card users were an extremely powerful Profession, but I didn’t expect Zhang Ying Hao to become such a powerful Card user already” Ye Fei Li mused.
“He’s only using the Cards as tools. His true Profession is still that of an assassin” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Indeed, Card users don’t actually fight this way, he is simply an expert at using everything he can to accomplish a kill” Boss also agreed.
Zhang Ying Hao reappeared.
He stood on the lizard’s back, staring with extreme focus at the void of space in front of his eyes, apparently watching something.
“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan called out to him from afar.
Zhang Ying Hao shouted in reply: “Wait a minute, there are suddenly a lot of UIs in front of my vision, I think they’re undergoing some sort of change”
The lizard carried him back onto the deck of [The Empress].
Still staring intently at the void of space in front of his eyes, Zhang Ying Hao said: “The UIs are starting to converge as one, they’re telling me that I’ve obtained the unique [Chaos] UI: Hunter of the Death Jungle”
“After about 10 minutes, this unique [Chaos] UI will finish reorganizing itself”
“Furthermore, as my power increases, this UI can also be upgraded and transform into a more powerful version, a seemingly endless evolution path”
After reporting everything, Zhang Ying Hao felt extremely excited.
It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it’s usable and won’t take control of me.
Everyone else is vastly stronger than I am.
I can finally catch up to them!
Hearing how fun he described it, Ye Fei Li couldn’t help himself:
“That sounded like a very fun reality RPG, how fun, I should also…”
Ye Fei Li’s gaze swept through the void to observe if there was someone he could kill.
Unfortunately, the carriers of [Chaos] who charged forward had all been killed by Zhang Ying Hao.
Meanwhile, as the bandit fleet saw how the opposition killed so many people on their side with only one person, they already fled for their lives.
“Never mind then, I’ll wait for another opportunity” Ye Fei Li regretfully sighed.
Boss patted him on the shoulder and told him: “Truthfully, you don’t need to carry [Chaos]”
“Why not?” Ye Fei Li asked.
“As a World Destroyer, your power will surely grow infinitely strong” Boss replied.
“I understand” Ye Fei Li sighed again.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
It seems my guess was correct, in the Era of [Chaos], a carrier of [Chaos] doesn’t need to kill the Envoy of [Chaos] in order to have their [Chaos] evolve.
With this unique personal [Chaos] UI, Zhang Ying Hao’s strength will grow even quicker.
In essence, this was a highly personalized combat support power, and Gu Qing Shan only encouraged him to use it due to how well he understood Zhang Ying Hao.
Gu Qing Shan himself didn’t really reject the existence of the [Chaos] UI.
However, due to [Chaos]’s own characteristics, this thing isn’t suitable to be wide-spread in the 900 million World Layers.
Because the foundation for a civilization is built on order.
Total chaos would only destroy everything.
The 900 million World Layers as a whole will only head towards its own end due to [Chaos].
Not to mention how the Soul Shrieker is still hot on my pursuit.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t delay things any longer.
“Laura”
“I’m here”
“Full speed ahead, let’s enter Riddle world”
“Got it!”
[The Empress] ship began to gradually speed up along the hidden space current.
