WAO Chapter 552: [Worlds Apocalypse Online: Revolution]
Translated by: La0o9

The Dead Soul Demon King stood in the cold winds, allowing his black flames to burn more intensely bit by bit .
As God’s Might was talking, it had silently lowered its body to enter an attack stance .
It could sense that of the two prey in front of it, one of them was ready to fight while the other had fallen into despair and was ready to die .
God’s Might issued the attack order .
All that’s left is------
One second before it attacked, the Dead Soul Demon King suddenly stopped .
『 Wait a minute, the [Demon King Order] is speaking to him 』the Dead Soul Demon King said .
“What!?” God’s Might exclaimed in shock .
He wasn’t willing to accept that and pulled his weapon, wanting to do it himself .
Without a sound or warning, a sharp black claw that smelled of putrid death had appeared right in front him .
This was one of Dead Soul Demon King’s fingers, no, to be exact, it was a nail on one of its fingers .
The nail was sharp and long like a spear, lightly placed just in front of God’s Might’s forehead .
Dead Soul Demon King’s voice came .

『 You should also stay still, the Order’s directives are absolute, or else… 』
God’s Might didn’t dare to move .
He looked afar .
The mountains around them were now visibly full of demonized people .
They weren’t slowing down at all, instead they started to move here even faster .
An army of 2 million demonized Combatants were quickly approaching the foot of this ice mountain .
The encirclement was about to be completed .
No matter who it was, it was impossible for them to escape from this situation .
God’s Might begrudgingly lowered his weapon .
He glared intensely at Gu Qing Shan, utterly confused as to why the Order still wanted to talk with him .
In front of him, Gu Qing Shan was staring at the void of space in front of his eyes .
The [Origin] UI was letting out a bright color of red as some video footage appeared on it .
The footage was of Gu Qing Shan ever since he entered this world, his actions in every battle so far .
In the first battle, [Surrounded], Gu Qing Shan erased an entire city with one strike .
The second battle, the 600-floor, he free-fell off the side and eliminated every threat in the building .

The third battle, against the icy abyss’ Ice Fiends, a single shot of his gun turned everything to ashes .
The fourth video, going against enemies on the frozen wasteland, he used [Shadow Shift] consecutively to eliminate a squad of 10 in the span of 3 breaths .
A sudden notice popped up above the squad he killed: [Bloodthirst Squad, ranking: 2nd place]
The fifth video didn’t show a battle, but began when he was already inside the divine temple, using nothing but his words to convince 800 demonized people to uninstall [Origin] .
After the five videos were over, [Origin]’s voice came again .
[According to battle prowess, among all demonized Combatants in this world, Gu Qing Shan ranks: 9th place]
[According to judging capabilities and combat response strategic thinking, among all demonized Combatants in this world, Gu Qing Shan ranks: 1st place]
[Rebel Gu Qing Shan, as you are a natural-born warrior with top-level battle instincts and strategic abilities, the Order has decided to give you one final chance]
[Give up your resistance and surrender yourself to the Origin of the Demon King, only then will you live]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised .
This isn’t right .
There must be a problem .
I know [Origin] very well .
Whether it was this life or the last, [Origin] has always been indifferent and cold, it treats all living beings as ants and insects . There is simply no way it would forgive someone out of compassion .
So why is it making an exception now?
“I really don’t want to fight against this Dead Soul Demon King, because I’ll definitely lose”
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and continued: “Then, for the sake of considering my surrender, please tell me why you decided to give me a chance to live?”
[Origin] responded: [You received your only chance at survival because I require your strategic thinking to capture a certain place]
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened to it and fell into thought .

Seems like [Origin] ran into some trouble .
The various ancient creatures he saw suddenly flashed through his mind .
Right, in this world, [Origin] has at least 2 million demonized under its control, so what can actually go against it besides the life forms left behind by the Old Gods?
But from what I can tell, [Origin] seems to be feeling impatient, as if it was prepared to do this at any price .
To capture that place, it didn’t even mind using a rebel like myself .
It was truly using everything it could think of .
-----but why?
What can cause [Origin] to be this impatient?
Gu Qing Shan’s mind moved .
“War God System” he silently called out to it .
[Ting]!
With a light chime, the light blue UI next to the blood red UI lit up .
[I’m here] the War God System responded .
“I have a question to ask you”
[Please state your question]
“If [Kindling]’s goal was to evolve and become [Origin], what is [Origin]’s goal? What does [Origin] want? Can it still evolve?”
The War God UI replied: [The detailed description of the first three stages of Worlds Apocalypse Online are as follows:]
[First stage: Kindling, the original form, only capable of evolution after gathering enough Soul Points]
[Second stage: Origin, the new-born form, besides Soul Points, it also requires a certain few unique items to evolve further]
[Origin can only spread within the range of 10 to 90 million World Layers, limited by its primitive functions]
[Third stage: once Origin successfully evolves once again, its range will expand to 300 million World Layers, obtaining more powerful functions that almost no one can resist]
[This stage is called Worlds Apocalypse Online: Revolution]
Gu Qing Shan felt surprised .
Capable of spreading in 300 million World Layers!
Together with the Fallen Zones, [Worlds Apocalypse Online] will have taken over more than half of the entire Outer Plane!
It will definitely change the situation of the entire 900 million World Layers .
No wonder it’s called [Revolution] .
No wonder it was so desperate!
Gu Qing Shan quickly asked: “Besides Soul Points, what else does [Origin] need to evolve to its Revolution state?”
The System replied: [It requires certain special materials left behind in the 900 million World Layers by the Old Gods . These materials are capable of aiding the evolution of all non-organic life forms]
Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded and silently replied: “I suspect [Origin] has already found where those materials are, but it’s unable to obtain it . That’s why it’s giving me an option”
“For it, whatever strategy I come up with is merely an attempt----- it’s good if it succeeds, and failure means it just gained another subordinate, there’s no loss at all, no wonder…”
It was now that [Origin]’s voice came again: [Gu Qing Shan, tell me your answer . Do you choose to surrender to me or be tortured to death?]
[This will be the last time I ask, you no longer have other paths to choose . Answer me with your most serious attitude!]
Following [Origin]’s declaration, the Dead Soul Demon King once again entered an attack stance .
The waves of demonized people have already completely surrounded the mountain, forming a jet black torrent of people .
They were already starting their climb and will soon arrive here .
Gu Qing Shan looked around once and spoke: “O’ great [Demon King Order], I need one minute to think”
[One minute? You may] [Origin] declared .
