Worlds’ Apocalypse Online-Chapter 515: Kitty’s true motives

The Justice Iron Fist Club.

A cold breeze blew past.

The pair of brother and sister insisted on complete opposite directions being the correct one without being able to convince the other.

“Bro, trust me, the direction I picked for Gu Qing Shan is the correct direction” Kitty seriously spoke.

“No, sis, this time you have to listen to me”

Barry scowled a bit as he stared straight at Kitty.

“Why? Give me a reason” Kitty was unconvinced.

Barry shook his head, saying: “Because I’m the owner of the club, every big matter thus far has been made with my decisions”

“But you can’t arbitrarily decide a person’s direction!” Kitty refuted.

The two of them kept glaring at each other and said nothing else.

“Gu Qing Shan” Barry suddenly turned to him, “Lord Bloodcloak’s disciple, how close of a friend is she to you?”

Gu Qing Shan trembled a bit.

He looked at the pair of brother and sister.

Both Barry and Kitty were staring at him.

They both had an expression of anticipation, as if waiting for an answer.

“Girlfriend” Gu Qing Shan said.

Barry looked at Kitty and said nothing.

Kitty sighed, lowering her head: “Then there’s no other choice”

She lightly tapped Gu Qing Shan.

Pfew!

Instantly, Gu Qing Shan shot to the air.

He was sent flying.

The direction he was flying in was Barry’s direction.

“How exactly did you decide which was the right direction!?”

From afar, Gu Qing Shan’s voice could be heard shouting back at them.

Barry and Kitty both didn’t answer him.

They just stood there and waited for a bit.

“He’s gone far enough now” Barry muttered.

“Yeah, there was no other way. If his girlfriend was there, I had to let him go to Aboul” Kitty dejectedly said.

Barry then spoke: “Now, let’s talk about why you wanted to send him in the direction of Angel Port and the Gourmet soup kitchen”

Kitty pursed her lips and still refused to say anything.

“What? Is there something you can’t tell your big brother?’

Barry smiled and lightly asked.

“Bro, I originally wanted to send him between those absolutely safe locations, then just apologize later on to gloss it over, but I didn’t think his girlfriend would also be at Aboul”

Saying so, Kitty lowered her head again, closed her eyes and went silent for a bit.

“Bro, do you still remember the emergency call of the Spire 1800 years ago?”

She suddenly said that out of nowhere.

…The Spire’s emergency call.

Barry’s smile slowly went away.

His eyes became cold, his entire body looked ruthless unlike never before.

Barry replied: “That was the first time the demons appeared at the Outer Plane’s 900 million World Layers, later leading to the entire Prosperous Zone being taken over by the demons. Despite the efforts of countless Combatants of the worlds, they still couldn’t manage to defeat them. 100 years later, the collective 900 million World Layers couldn’t help but rename the Prosperous Zone to the Fallen Zones”

“Later on, everyone in the 900 million World Layers confirmed that the day the Spire sent out its emergency call was the day that the demons officially appeared”

Barry softly stroke his sister’s head, continuing: “But besides myself, no one else knows that you actually discovered the signs of overlapping space 3 days before they did, and you even managed to see quite a few True Demons through the space cracks”

“That’s right, at the time, I noticed that the Prosperous Zone was overlapping with another strange space, but I didn’t know that such a thing as the demons would appear” Kitty softly replied.

She stared at the void of space far away, as if discovering something there.

1800 years ago, the Outer Plane consisted of four large zones: Prosperous Zone, Super Dimensional Zones, Strife Zones and Mystic Zones.

But when the inter-dimensional space appeared, so did the demons, which took over the Prosperous Zone.

The Prosperous Zone would then later be renamed to the Fallen Zones.

And now, the 200 million World Layers of the Fallen Zones became the demon’s backyard.

“This was something from long ago, what does it have to do with where Gu Qing Shan is heading?” Barry asked.

Kitty answered: “Because he went through such a long journey just to bring you the Pixie Crystal Flower, helping your fully recovery, and also because he himself isn’t a bad person, that’s why I didn’t want him to go to Aboul”

“You mean…”

“After 1800 years, just now, I sensed that strange frequency again”

Barry stared straight at his sister, asking after a long silence: “Are you sure?”

This was a big deal, something that could affect the entire 900 million World Layers, so they definitely could not afford any wrong guesses.

“I’m very sure, that strange frequency had just showed up again”

“I even doubled-checked and triple-checked it, the frequency was exactly the same as that time, and it’s appeared at Aboul”

“Appeared at Aboul…”

Barry sighed, finally accepting this fact.

He muttered: “If that’s true, an all-out war between the demons and the 900 million World Layers is just right around the corner…”

Kitty continued: “For now, it’s still only at the initial phase, that space is still trying to overlap with the 900 million World Layers, but it’s hidden itself really well, only I could feel it”

“That’s why you didn’t want Gu Qing Shan to go?”

“He’s one of us now, so I need to take his safety into consideration”

“But because his girlfriend is going to be involved, you can’t stop him and instead helped him get there faster”

“That’s right, this isn’t something anyone can or should stop him”

Kitty sighed, looked back at her brother and felt fortunate: “But we’re still in luck, since the calamity won’t erupt for at least a few days, your leg will have time to fully heal itself”

“But we couldn’t tell Gu Qing Shan the truth” Barry felt a bit dejected.

“No, I did tell him. I placed a letter for him in his Inventory Bag, as soon as he opens the bag, he’ll see it”

“Then we need to quickly tell the entire 900 million World Layers about this”

“No”

Barry was stunned, asking: “Why not?”

Kitty hesitated: “Bro, I have a feeling—– after so many years of thinking, I’ve always thought that you being surrounded by the army of True Demons back then was a trap”

Kitty clenched her fists tight: “Why did I happen to be in a daze back then? Why did you go there alone and just happen to run into an army of 600 million demons? All of that can’t be a coincidence!”

“You don’t mean——”

“Yes I do. Some of the people on our side have already betrayed us”

Barry went silent, his expression cold and heavy.

Kitty continued: “Bro, just look. The call of the Bramble Birds is hosted in Aboul, but we weren’t told anything about it at all. I refuse to believe that all of our old friends would choose not to tell us anything”

“Interrupted communications…” Barry muttered.

“Yes, Gu Qing Shan is still weak, so those bastards hiding in the dark don’t pay any attention to him, but the two of us must be under heavy surveillance. If this Super Dimensional world of ours weren’t maintained to be so closed-off, and my abilities happened to perfectly fit the Super Dimensional beacon, rendering all our enemies unable to even reach us, we might have already became piles of bones a long time ago”

Barry silently nodded.

“If that’s the case, then before my leg wounds are completely healed, no information we send out will reach anywhere”

“Yeah, and even if we tell them, no one would believe us. Because the other side will have already prepared measures to justify any anomalies, and they don’t know how strong I really am, so not many will actually believe me” Kitty spoke in a low voice.

Barry deeply sighed, mumbling: “Gu Qing Shan…”

His eyes showed hesitation unlike never before.

Kitty became a bit panicked.

She grabbed Barry’s arm, softly begging him: “Bro, you have to listen to me and wait until your leg is fully healed before going out. Otherwise, not only will we be unable to save him, but you might get killed as well”

“But my leg needs at least 2 more days until it fully heals” Barry gritted his teeth.

“We can’t be impatient, 2 days later, I’ll go with you to help Gu Qing Shan”

“You’re going as well”

“Of course, this time, I won’t let you fight alone” Kitty declared.

Barry silently nodded.

I need to let my leg heal completely before I can use my full power. Leaving right now won’t do any good, it might even put my life at risk.

“Then, I can only hope that Gu Qing Shan will be able to hold out for 2 more days”

Barry couldn’t help but sigh.
