Gu Qing Shan and Laura both ate their cakes.

Laura only ate a little bit before stopping.

She was still unwilling to accept it, turned her eyes around and gave the report on the table to Gu Qing Shan.

“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Look here, it says here that your Justice Iron Fist Club has also arrived” Laura said.

“Iron Fist Club?”

Gu Qing Shan asked doubtfully.

“Yeah, Iron Fist Barry and Kitty originally came to find you, but they couldn’t find you and instead accidentally noticed the demon army’s rallying”

“It was them that triggered the start of the war”

Gu Qing Shan put his cake down.

“They came to find me?” he asked.

“Yeah, they gathered a lot of powerhouses, wanting to save you, but for some unexpected reason discovered the demon army instead, triggering the war under completely unexpected circumstances” Laura told him.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

He placed the bottle of liquor down as well.

Hearing that, Triste suddenly felt a sense of hope again.

“That’s right, you won against [Kindling], but so what!?” she loudly yelled.

The people there looked towards Triste.

Triste was now smirking mockingly: “Even the Lord of True Demons had come, this place will fall sooner or later, Barry’s bunch of misfits won’t be able to win against the true [Demon King Order]!”

She turned to Gu Qing Shan and spoke: “You’re part of the Iron Fist Club? Then I’ll have to congratulate you”

“Congratulate me?” Gu Qing Shan asked doubtfully.

“That’s right” Triste chuckled sarcastically, “after today, the only person left in the club will be you, you’ll own a Super Dimensional world of your own!”

“However, the [Demon King Order] will obtain the entire 900 million World Layers, ahahaha!”

Triste laughed.

Gu Qing Shan scowled but said nothing.

Ilya and Laura exchanged looks.

Then they both turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.

Without realizing it, this seemed to have become a conditioned reflex for both of them.

Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up.

This relaxed, slacking expression had disappeared.

After a bit of thinking, Gu Qing Shan asked: “Ilya, I need to ask something, does the Lord of True Demons frequently participate in the battle?”

Ilya replied: “He basically doesn’t, the only time he had personally showed himself and acted was the battle when the demons took over the Fallen Zones”

“During the previous years, have the True Demons ever attempted such a large invasion before?”

“No, very rarely, since the Combatants of the 900 million World Layers are constantly paying attention to them”

“If both sides clashed, which side would have the advantage?”

“Without the Lord of True Demons, both sides are basically even in strength, but if the Lord of True Demon himself participates, the war will turn extremely intense and the results become unpredictable”

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded and muttered: “The cost of war is always astronomical, so unless vast amounts of benefits are to be obtained, no one would easily start a war”

“With that in mind, what do you think is the goal of the True Demons this time?”

He turned and looked at everyone and asked.

The guards were all stunned, a single unified thought surfaced in their minds—— what are you asking us for? We’re only guards, don’t you know…

Laura’s eyes, on the other hand, lit up: “Wouldn’t it be for that [Order]?”

Ilya thought for a bit and also answered: “It can only be that”

They both exchanged looks and understood.

Indeed, their goal can only be [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Revolution].

Perhaps the True Demons have a way to find out about [Revolution]’s evolution.

They need this [Order]!

Gu Qing Shan walked in front of Triste and carefully observed her.

—–she was the one who brought [Kindling] into Aboul, she must know more than anyone about this!

Gu Qing Shan turned to ask Laura: “Is she completely restrained like this?”

“Don’t worry, the vines of the Saint Tree is a Bramble Bird’s natural enemy, her soul and all her powers are now sealed by the Saint Tree” Laura answered him.

“Then it’s perfect”

Having been assured, Gu Qing Shan slowly reached his hand towards Triste.

“What are you doing!” Triste shouted intimidatingly but without power.

The others also looked at this in surprise.

True, Triste is indeed beautiful.

In fact, she was known as the symbol of grace among the Bramble Bird, but she’s already surrendered herself to the demons, so all of that was only an act.

What is Gu Qing Shan going to do to this powerless evil woman?

Under everyone’s scrutinizing gaze, Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out and rubbed it on Triste’s clothes.

He wiped the cake frosting off his hand.

“…” everyone.

“You shameless, rude, despicable bastard, even in death I won’t forgive you!” as if she has received the worst humiliation possible, Triste gritted her teeth and cursed him.

“That’s incorrect, I’m actually doing it out of respect for you” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He placed his now clean hand on Triste’s forehead.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be quick” Gu Qing Shan said.

He circulated his spirit energy and activated the technique.

[Soul Reading], activate!

Since Triste’s powers had been sealed by the Saint Bramble Tree, she was no different from a normal person, so she wasn’t able to resist Gu Qing Shan’s [Soul Reading] at all.

In just a few moments, Gu Qing Shan found his answer.

The Lord of True Demons.

The most powerful of the True Demons, he was the one who split off part of the main [Order] in the Fallen Zones, concentrating it into the first [Kindling] before giving it to Triste.

—–originally, the Lord of True Demons wanted to use this small [Kindling] to quickly take over Aboul, evolving it into [Origin] and use it as a springboard to take over the several million World Layers around it.

This was the start of it all.

Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.

Unfortunately, including the Lord of True Demons, no one could predict how much [Kindling] was able to grow.

No one knew that the world that was granted to Triste by the Bramble Queen had materials left over by the Old Gods.

Perhaps even the Bramble Queen herself didn’t know about this.

[Kindling] quickly evolved into [Origin].

And [Origin] quickly noticed the existence of the Old Gods’ material.

It had used every mean at its disposal to collect the remaining material and evolved into [Revolution].

Which created an entirely different circumstance.

Supposedly, even the main [Order] in the Fallen Zones was only one step higher than [Revolution].

If they were able to retrieve [Revolution] and bring it back to the Fallen Zones’ main [Order], the main [Order] will be able to immediately evolve one step further.

Which was why the True Demons spared no effort in this war.

This was the real reason why a full-blown war with the 900 million World Layers had suddenly begun.

Gu Qing Shan let go of his hand and looked towards Laura.

“Laura”

“Gu Qing Shan, what is it?”

“As the Empress of the Bramble Birds, you should also lead your troops to the frontline”

“Huh?”

Laura was surprised.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and explained: “Eliminating the [Demon King Order], capturing the culprit behind the war, then personally lead your troops to participate in the war against the True Demons——- this type of Bramble Bird Empress will be a subject of respect to every organization out there”

“Alright, I’ll do as you said” Laura.

Ilya stepped out and cut in: “Her majesty is still too little, her battle capabilities are next to none, it would be better for me to lead the troops”

“Nah, such a good thing should be left for Laura”

Good thing?

Ilya looked at Gu Qing Shan doubtfully.

Gu Qing Shan lightly smiled and continued: “The war is about to be over, the Empress only needs to arrive and leave a good impression. There really is nothing better”

“Huh!? The war is about to be over!?”

This time, both Ilya and Laura yelled out in shock.

“Indeed, the Lord of True Demons would sense the [Order]’s current situation once every 2 hours, and it’s been 1 hour 40 minutes since he last checked”

“In 20 minutes, he will notice that [Revolution] has been destroyed”

“Will he be angry?”

“Of course”

“Then the war would become even more intense?”

“No, with nothing to gain and endless resources and efforts to lose, who would be willing to keep going?”

“I see” Laura quickly made her decision and said: “If that’s the case, I actually have an idea”

“What is it?”

“I’ve awakened three abilities, one of them is [Infinite Worlds’ Shelter], another one is called [Will of the Empress], which perfectly fits this current situation”

“[Will of the Empress]? What do you intend to do?”

“I’ll need the Saint Bramble Tree’s help”
