Chapter 1345 - Armor of Condemnation!

Chapter 1345: Armor of Condemnation!

The wilderness.

After Gu Qing Shan was sent away, the atmosphere abruptly changed.

“Speaking of which, a few dozen million years ago, the Wraith realm was a subservient world that we conquered” the red-haired woman said.

“Indeed, according to historical records, they didn’t fight us for long before surrendering, volunteering themselves to be our dogs” the old farmer said with his hands clasped behind his back.

“Then they had always planned for this. But then, having stayed silent for so many years, what exactly did they want from our world?” a woman in a pure-white dress while wielding a scepter asked.

The man wearing a crown scoffed, declaring: “It doesn’t matter what they were after, once we eradicate them all, they wouldn’t possibly be able to obtain it”

「 Indeed 」 an old tree responded.

Instantly, a thick wave of killing intent filled the entire scene.

While they were talking, Red Wraith who was wearing a red yaksha mask understood that the situation could no longer be salvaged.

——countless years of planning and efforts, numerous secret operations, only to be foiled by a 15-year-old Baron.

“How regretful, regretful”

Red Wraith sighed, only to see someone unleashing a spell towards them among the Combatants on the other side.

Knowing that life and death rested on these few moments, Red Wraith didn’t try to block that attack; instead, he let it strike and immediately kill a large number of his subordinates.

“Everyone! Everyone please!” he clasped his hands “Please let me say one last thing, you must hear what I’m about to say”

Sure enough, the Combatants of Saint Spirit world paused to look at him.

Red Wraith slyly grinned.

Taking advantage of this single moment, hundreds of wraiths surrounded him, all forming the same hand seals and shouted: “With the power of my death, Wraith Mountain, activate!”

Their bodies instantly fused together and exploded, turning into a crimson screen.

The screen had separated the Combatants from the wraiths.

Red Wraith quickly retreated while more powerful wraiths surrounded him, all producing a formation plate to begin arranging a grand formation.

“Do you really think you can escape?” the red-haired woman coldly snorted.

She transformed into a flaming bird over a hundred meters long, heavily crashing into the crimson screen.

Flames rose to the sky!

But the flaming bird was forced backwards.

『 How strange, this power seems to be some sort of unique Law 』the flaming bird spoke in human language.

The other Combatants all attempted to attack, only to see that crimson screen simply shaking without collapsing.

“It’s useless. Hundreds of powerful wraiths have laid down their lives just to buy these five breaths’ worth of time”

Red Wraith sighed again.

Hundreds of his best men sacrificed their everything just to give him a chance to escape.

This was too heavy of a price.

Around Red Wraith, the remaining wraiths acted quickly and finished arranging a super-distance warp formation in one mere breath’s worth of time.

Red Wraith then declared: “Everyone, your actions cost me many of my best men. Once I return to the Wraith realm, I shall definitely return with my main army for a proper battle”

He clasped his fists and lowered his head, speaking with a heavy tone: “I swear upon my dignity, this grudge shall be settled”

Five breaths were over.

Red Wraith stepped onto the warp formation without stalling and slowly disappeared.

…

At the same time.

On top of the ocean.

“If the wraiths tried to flee this time around, that would be nothing but a pipe dream” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Why?” Crow asked while eating a piece of fish.

Gu Qing Shan poured a full glass of liquor for himself, casually finished it, then replied:

“This current world was actually a world fused from three destroyed worlds”

“Each of these worlds came from a different parallel world, which had jointly used the power of the fusion to reset the timeline”

“Through this reset, everyone in Saint Spirit world was revived, and time had also returned to the moment in which this world was at its strongest”

“This created an issue since the Saint Spirit world’s timeline isn’t the same as the timeline in our void”

The duck plushie called out: “I get it. The wraiths would have no choice but to stay put in this world, unable to go to any other worlds——– because of the difference in the timeline, the Three Great Laws of Reality [1]would not allow them to enter other worlds within the space vortex, otherwise it would create a time disturbance!”

“Exactly!” Gu Qing Shan praised.

He handed a plate of cake to the duck plushie, watching him wolfing it down.

Crow pondered for a bit, then asked: “What would happen to this world from now on?”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “From the parallel world disaster, a portion had been turned into Fate Corrosion and used against the Eternal Abyss, a portion of destroyed worlds had disappeared without a trace, only this Saint Spirit world remained, so I’m not sure what would happen to it either”

He suddenly sensed something and took out the black handbook.

The black handbook flipped open on its own, displaying the empty Card slot for [Crimson Demon Divine Spear], and the [Divine Word: Cleanse] Card.

Under Gu Qing Shan’s watchful eye, the black handbook flipped over to the next page.

This page had three Card slots, two of which were empty, while the third slot had a single Card.

The Card depicted a horrific scene of the world’s destruction.

Under the Card, its name and explanation were written:

[Card: World’s suspicion]

[This is a Card manifested by the world spirit to facilitate easier communication]

[Among numerous parallel worlds, there should have been no worlds more powerful than the Saint Spirit world, but the wraiths still set their sights on it and spent the numerous years necessary to eventually push it to destruction]

[If this was done only for the sake of a gigantic Fate Corrosion, this reason seems to be highly insufficient, like using a meat cleaver to chop a fly]

[Both the Deities and the previous world spirit feel confused about this]

[During the following battle, they hope that you further investigate the wraith’s secret and find out the reason for their actions]

[If you successfully finds out the answer, you can directly contact the world spirit and obtain a precious Card from the Inner Plane: Armor of Condemnation]

Quickly reading through this description, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit tempted.

Searching for the secrets of the Wraith realm was what I originally wanted to do.

And now, I’d gain the Armor of Condemnation by completing this—-

After I gave Su Xue Er my best armor, every armor I obtained after that was easily destroyed or lost.

Items in the Condemnation series have all been exceptionally powerful.

And Gu Qing Shan was currently in urgent need of a good set of armor.

He picked up the Card, quickly asking: “Can I take a look at what the Armor of Condemnation looks like? This way, I’d be even more motivated”

An unusual fluctuation could be felt from the Card.

The world spirit answered him right away.

Within one of the two empty Card slots, a transparent Card slowly manifested.

——it depicted a milky white armor with many exposed spots, only shielding the most crucial parts of the body.

Fortunately, the back of the armor was more intricate compared to the front, containing a pair of white wings the size of a palm.

——-the wings could even move.

Below this Card, some descriptions were also written:

[Armor of the Divine: Cherub of Condemnation’s Protection]

A solemn voice resounded by Gu Qing Shan’s ear:

「 Due to your Deific authority of Condemnation, you shall be granted the unique armor of cherubim 」

Looking at the armor, Gu Qing Shan practically froze on the spot.

He clutched the [World’s suspicion] Card tightly, declaring beyond any doubts: “Absolutely not, I will not accept this armor. If you really gave this to me, I’ll turn on you!”

A long fluctuation could be felt from the [World’s suspicion] Card, seemingly the world spirit was very confused.

A few moments later, a line of text appeared on the Card:

[But why? I can sense your desires towards a protection garment, and this was a carefully prepared reward based on your Deific authority]

Gu Qing Shan calmed himself down, then spoke honestly: “Please give me a set of armor that people won’t laugh at if they saw it”

The [World’s suspicion] Card then vibrated a bit.

New lines of text then appeared on the Card:

[Then, you shall receive the Condemnation Warrior armor, the armor of Condemners. Are you willing to give up the Divine Armor to wear the armor of mortals?]

This time, Gu Qing Shan was even more cautious and said: “Please let me see what this armor looks like”

[No problem]

The Cherub armor disappeared from the empty Card slot, slowly forming a new image.

This was a silver full-body armor with faint golden rune accents, which exuded solemnity.

Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.

“Great, I’ll take it” he agreed.

A line of text appeared on the [World’s suspicion] Card: [Then it is decided, you must first discover the true reason why the wraiths had attacked this world, then the world shall manifest your armor Card using our world Origin]

“It’s decided” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The Card flew out of his hand and landed back inside the Card slot.

The black handbook closed.

…

On the other side.

Red Wraith and the rest of his men were still standing in the wilderness.

The powerful defensive technique that continued for five breaths’ worth of time had already disappeared.

Around them, the heroes of Saint Spirit world had formed an enclosed encirclement.

“You said you’d bring your main army here?” a burly man asked, clenching his fist tightly.

“Hm, he even swore on his dignity that he’d settle this grudge” the red-haired woman crossed her arms and said.

Red Wraith was sweating bullets.

He truly had no idea why he couldn’t warp away from the Saint Spirit world.

[1] The Three Great Laws of Reality are Time, Space, and Fate. It has been mentioned before, but only now officially named
