Apocalypse Forecast

Chapter 1158: Chapter 885: Cycle

Light emerges in the darkness.

Just as it literally is.

This dim battlefield, which even the illusory sun wheel couldn’t illuminate, has been pierced and cleared by that sharp light that induces fear, spreading from the center to both sides, as if a sea opening before a sage.

All darkness disappears without a trace.

Only the light of virtue shines—

Having witnessed such dazzling brilliance, who’s to doubt its represented meaning?

Even Roland, the Paladin knight, couldn’t help but hold his breath, his eyes wide, focused on that pure ray of light.

Pure, clear, yet filled with unparalleled might.

Like an embodiment of virtue.

Illuminating all flaws and ugliness, drawing the line between justice and evil, becoming the standard of all things.

After merging with Huai Shi’s compassion, the Sword of Virtue, now a Source Armament, ascended to a new realm following its Nirvana Transformation.

It was simpler than expected.

One might say it always had such potential.

The prince’s longsword and white horse were already parts of those beautiful stories, now completing merely another union.

Though a bit chubby... the flaws do not obscure the virtues!

At this moment, upon the white horse, a distant and ethereal figure appears, resembling Huai Shi with a radiant crown atop its head.

The Eternal Frozen Heart roars into motion, a vast divinity fiercely burns.

In the phantom’s hands, pure light gathers into a beam and strikes forward, towards the endless tide of the sea!

The dark ocean is once again cleaved open!

To both sides.

As if dawn has arrived.

No painful screeches, no cries of terror, just silent annihilation.

No suffering exists, nor despair or confusion. Those in the Hell Swarm are bathed in the void light, collapsing silently, with only minute ashes drifting in the wind, swiftly disappearing.

Under the great rays of dawn, together with the long night, they are utterly ended!

Even being grazed by the edge of that light, the dukes in the Hell Sequence experience severe wounds and scars, their limbs, wings, and large swathes of skin rapidly vanish.

No pain felt, no discomfort perceived, as if born without that part of the body.

Purification!

No matter if it is the Hell Sequence created by Alchemy or the great mob reared on Helios, once approaching the white horse, stepping into its light, they would feel the power of this purification.

The weak turn to ashes on the spot, the strong are suppressed, gradually worn down.

The white horse advances on the spreading lawn, with groups of angry blades from the Paradise mob and the Lizard Man Army gathering and surrounding that white horse, launching a counterattack once again!

Above the Eternal Frozen Heart, Huai Shi closes his eyes, feeling the vigorous Alchemy Fire within the tower core furnace.

Instead of eternal despair, it became a new source of power.

Or should I say, a transforming hub.

Currently, the Alchemy Fire is continuously absorbing all regional supplies, integrating divinity, source substance, heat, electricity, and even curses and blessings, all injected into the axis of this Hell, maintaining the functioning of the entire Town of Dusk.

Although incomparable to the terrifying output scale of the old perpetual motion machines, it is no less than what any large Alchemy Matrix could provide.

Meanwhile, it also burns vigorously as Huai Shi’s Casting Fire within the Eternal Frozen Heart furnace.

At this moment, upon Huai Shi’s metallic right arm, the Casting Furnace has unfolded, connected through the Sun Caster’s Seat matrix, forming a unity with the Eternal Frozen Heart and the entire Town of Dusk.

No discord or anomalies whatsoever.

As the central control of the Town of Dusk, the Eternal Frozen Heart is a miracle crystal forged through all forgers’ wisdom and skills, consuming all treasures and collections of the Town of Dusk.

Simultaneously, it is an unparalleled Casting Furnace.

Through the thirteen sub-control centers and countless matrices spread across the Town of Dusk, it can thoroughly grasp the myriad changes of the Town of Dusk.

The Sun Caster’s Seat is the evidence of this power!

As the last forger recognized by the Sun Caster, previously breaking the eternal dusk, the Soloist Huai Shi naturally gained recognition from the Eternal Frozen Heart, possessing its usage permission.

As long as there’s sufficient energy supply, with Huai Shi sitting here, connected to the Eternal Frozen Heart, he can almost be considered a mini Sun Caster.

Except for the disparity in skills and limited energy supply, whatever the Sun Caster could do, he can also achieve.

This is the augmentation of the Eternal Frozen Heart to its user.

Just like the Legendary Workshop’s enhancement for an Alchemist, it can even elevate a person to a level similar to a Great Grandmaster—before ever backstabbing Helios, He Di also had considerable permissions.

Now, even without Helios’s support, this former chief can create such a terrifyingly scaled Hell Swarm relying on his understanding of Helios.

Not to mention the opponent’s far superior Alchemy proficiency over Huai Shi.

Even with Huai Shi’s recent enhancement in Alchemy, at most, it can only be a measurement of the gap between He Di and a Great Grandmaster.

——How many of oneself does He Di still need to reach ’Great Grandmaster’?

Moreover, the opponent still backs the Piper in the Abyss Handlers; who knows what hidden cards he holds. Fighting to this point, Huai Shi almost exerted all his strength, yet He Di hasn’t even shown his face!

Who knows what kind of ghostly trick that old schemer is still brewing?

”We must put in more effort...”

Huai Shi murmured softly, tapping the armrest with his left hand, deep in thought.

With the Eternal Frozen Heart here, it helped him avoid future worries, no longer fearing the threat of the Eternal Beast.

As long as he sits on the Sun Caster’s seat, it’s as if the entire Town of Dusk is helping him bear the pressure of the Element of Destructive. The Eternal Frozen Heart, which once housed countless despair and hatred, can naturally endure the erosion of the Eternal Beast.

Thus, he could confidently employ Stigma to modify his Source Armament.

But now, tools, materials, and ability are all ready, except for ’money.’

After just squandering, the divine substance he earned from Helios was completely consumed... As for the divine substance of the Great Priestess, Huai Shi would never consider using it.

It’s a joke; that is his own money!

He painstakingly saved up a bit, and it all needs to be used wisely.

Now that he’s spent it all, what will happen to the Tanbo Inner Circle? What about his future progression?

He can’t earn it and doesn’t want to use his savings.

The only plan now is freeloading...

”Hey? Are you there?”

Huai Shi looked at Rachelle, gesturing for him to contact Garand behind him: ”Me, mercenary, give some divine substance?”

Rachelle fell into a long silence.

His expression twitched.

Unsure if waiting for the response from the other end or never having seen such a peculiar freeloading tactic.

But soon, a splendid stream of light flew out from Garand’s silent high tower, directly into the Eternal Frozen Heart, making the radiance of Alchemy Fire soar, swelling multiple times instantly!

Not the one or two bits Huai Shi expected, but directly pulling out half of his inventory and sending it over!

Such an amount, if expended carefully, could even create four or five Stigmas of divine essence above the Fourth Stage!

Huai Shi widened his eyes in surprise, clapped repeatedly.

”Thank you, boss, you’re so generous!”

”...”

Rachelle’s expression twitched again. After glaring at Huai Shi, he said, ”The Great Grandmaster said that’s all there is, won’t give more, let you take care henceforth.”

”So stingy!”

Huai Shi clicked his tongue in disdain, giving a ’mediocre goods’ vibe that left Rachelle powerless.

How can someone’s face be so thick?

He finally found the second thing he wasn’t as good as Huai Shi.

But after another glance at Huai Shi’s face, he couldn’t help but gnash his teeth, feeling aggrieved.

Okay, it’s the third one...

Then, he heard an intense and sharp sound,.

Like the piercing cries of countless ravens.

With Huai Shi’s movement, countless steel feathers appeared from the void, converging, turning into cloud-like forging patterns, outlines fierce and grim.

—Divine Blade: Wrath and Hatred!

Rachelle instinctively took a step back.

Heart pounding.

Subdued by such ferocious might.

When Huai Shi’s fingers loosened, the blood-colored long knife passed through the crack opened in the floor, falling into the eternal flames of the Eternal Frozen Heart.

Forging commenced!

In the darkness of the Dream Cage, countless asleep ravens lifted their crimson eyes, sensing the call of war!

Wrath and Hatred surged in the dark clouds, soon transforming into a torrential blood rain, pouring down!

The Alchemy Fire roared to life, the slender blade of the divine sword silently vanished, replaced by countless Iron Crows emerging from the void.

They cried hungrily, flapping their iron wings, soaring once more under the dim light of the sunset.

Menacing shadows gathered together, shrouding the land.

Crimson eyes gazed down.

The hunt began!

Tens of thousands of Iron Crows, blessed by the Town of Dusk and Wrath and Hatred, transformed into tidal torrents, sweeping across the battlefield!

These cunning and ruthless predators avoided all enemies they couldn’t contend with, instead choosing other Hell Swarm that other avatars scorned as opponents.

Below the Owner of the Great Mob, hell creatures couldn’t withstand this overwhelming swarming flood; as they passed, all bodies were swiftly shredded to pieces by iron wings.

Blood and Source Substance were instantly drained clean.

Iron Crows moving like clouds on the battlefield, returning full of life and Source Substance, after being cast into the furnace, underwent refining once more, then headed to the battlefield again.

Unmerciful hunting machines engaged in slaughter, bringing new energy to the Eternal Frozen Heart unstoppably.

This is the favored group of the Town of Dusk, perfectly matched with the Hell Swarm of the Eternal Frozen Heart!
