585: The Fall of the God King

Chapter 585: Fall of the God King

Luo and Maple Leaf arrived in the main hall of the Martial God Hall.

Apocalypse was already standing there.

Seeing Maple Leaf and Luo, Apocalypse smiled and said to Maple Leaf, “Long time no see, Maple Leaf, Luo.”

“Apocalypse! Long time no see.” Luo smiled and nodded slightly.

Maple Leaf also nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then asked with some confusion, “Apocalypse, why do you have time to come over today? Did something happen?”

Maple Leaf didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

“Indeed, something extraordinary has happened.” Apocalypse took a deep breath, simultaneously releasing his divine power to shield the surroundings.

Only after confirming everything was clear did he prepare to speak.

Seeing this, Maple Leaf and Luo immediately knew that this matter was extremely serious.

“The God King has fallen.” Apocalypse's voice, from who knows how many mouths, sent a chill down one's spine.

“What?!” Luo's pupils suddenly constricted. There was absolutely no news or sign of this!

How could the God King suddenly fall?

Did some great battle occur? But if a battle so significant that even the God King would fall had happened, he, who stayed in the Martial God Hall all day, couldn't possibly not have sensed it!

After all, the Mount of the Gods was right next door.

Moreover, the reason the God King was the God King was, at its most basic, a symbol of strength!

In a sense, the God King was the strongest existence among the gods!

Yet such an existence had fallen?

For those like Luo who were unaware, it was a completely unannounced fall!

“This isn't funny at all…” Luo found it hard to accept this, his gaze fixed on Apocalypse.

“I wish I could say it was a joke…” Apocalypse nodded earnestly and said, “I came to see you today because this matter hasn't spread yet, and only a small number of gods know about it. I am one of them, and I came to see you because… Maple Leaf, you.”

“Me? What about me?” Maple Leaf was startled, pointing to herself with a bewildered expression.

She didn't know why he would specifically come to find her.

Surely he wouldn't say she was the one who killed the God King?

Hahaha~ That would truly be too funny… Maple Leaf secretly swallowed, surely he wouldn't actually say that?

“Maple Leaf, I remember, you joined a Celestial Realms organization, didn't you?” Apocalypse looked at Maple Leaf and said.

He had known this for a long time, back when Maple Leaf wasn't even a Martial God.

Previously, Clarissa had even come to save Maple Leaf.

The Cross-World Group was not a secret among the gods here.

So Maple Leaf was actually a relatively special existence in the eyes of other gods.

Especially after she became a Valkyrie.

“Mm, yes, what about it?” Maple Leaf looked at Apocalypse, and being impatient, she said directly, “Just say what it is, no need to beat around the bush or dawdle!”

Apocalypse chuckled: “I want to ask your organization for help!”

“Hmm?” Maple Leaf had never encountered such a situation before and couldn't help but look at Apocalypse with an inquiring gaze.

“Come with me, we're going up to the Mount of the Gods.” Apocalypse didn't explain much, but instead told Maple Leaf and Luo to follow him.

Subsequently, Apocalypse led Maple Leaf and Luo to the Mount of the Gods.

On the Mount of the Gods, there was a massive “Stairway to Heaven,” with 999 steps, which led to the floating city.

This was the Hall of the Gods.

While called the Hall of the Gods, it could also be considered a divine “conference room.”

It was incredibly grand and magnificent, protected by divine power and the authority of the gods.

Of course, the reason it was called a “conference room” was because, in most cases, the gods were not in the Hall of the Gods.

Instead, they were in the city of Austerday, in their respective temples, or moving about, especially gods related to the well-being of the populace.

Only a small number of gods would reside permanently in the Hall of the Gods.

“Hmm?” As soon as Maple Leaf arrived, the seemingly “grand and righteous” Hall of the Gods gave her a sense of “dead stillness,” as if… yes! It felt like twilight was approaching!

Twilight of the Gods?

This phrase suddenly popped into Maple Leaf's mind.

Surely the God King's fall wasn't related to this? But this wasn't… uh, according to Chen Mu in the group, who was on Lanxing, that was a Western fantasy setting, from Western mythology.

Her situation shouldn't be related to that, should it?

“You felt it, didn't you?” Apocalypse suddenly spoke.

“Mm…” Maple Leaf nodded. Luo, beside her, also frowned deeply. He looked around: “Where are the other gods? Why are none of them here…”

“This power you're feeling is eroding the Hall of the Gods. If you stay here too long, your life will drain away.” Apocalypse said.

“Life draining away? Do the Life Goddess, the Death Goddess… not have any solutions?” Luo couldn't help but ask.

“This is already the best they could do.” Apocalypse gave a bitter smile and said, “If it could be solved, it wouldn't be this situation now.”

“So the Hall of the Gods can no longer be stayed in…” Luo frowned slightly, thinking of something: “The God King fell in the Hall of the Gods?”

“Mm!” Apocalypse nodded: “And we don't know what the God King experienced. When we realized something was wrong, we found the God King had already fallen within the Hall of the Gods.

We didn't sense anything amiss, nor were there any signs or fluctuations. It was as if the God King just appeared there after he fell.

We tried many methods, but none worked.

This situation with the Hall of the Gods can't be kept secret for long, but for now, a large portion of the gods don't know that this situation is caused by the God King's fall.

Hmm… Let's tentatively assume it's caused by the God King's fall.”

Apocalypse said, then looked at Maple Leaf: “Your organization comes from the Celestial Realms. I'd like to ask for your help, to see if you can find a solution, or at least identify the source.

At least we can understand what kind of situation this is.”

Apocalypse said to Maple Leaf.

“I can only say I'll do my best!” Maple Leaf nodded and said. She was already feeling that strange power slowly eroding her, very subtly, and for now, her divine power could keep it at bay.

However, this power was highly corrosive, and if one stayed for a long time, something would definitely go wrong.

Maple Leaf sought help in the Cross-World Group.

In fact, she had already started a live stream on her way there.

Everyone had been watching along the way.

But this kind of thing, you couldn't understand just by looking.

“I have no research into these things, so I probably won't be of any use if I go.” Bai Mo said.

Lin Ze, Ran Quan, and others were the same; they leaned more towards the technology and mutation sides.

“I can go and take a look, but I can't guarantee it will be useful, after all, the power systems are different… It feels like there aren't many similarities with any of us.” Yi Xin said.

Indeed, the power systems of the Cross-World Group members were quite different from Maple Leaf's world.

Of course, different paths lead to the same destination; ultimately, it's all power.

“Mm-hm, okay.” Maple Leaf nodded and said. Then she said to Apocalypse: “Someone from our organization wants to come and take a look.”

“Of course!” Apocalypse nodded and said.
