Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 817 - 391: Resenting the Goddess, Struggle of the Chief Disciples (Thanks to ’Empire | Qin Shang’ for the reward of alliance leader!)

Chapter 817: Chapter 391: Resenting the Goddess, Struggle of the Chief Disciples (Thanks to ’Empire | Qin Shang’ for the reward of alliance leader!)

Lin Xun looked at the game text that read, "You have defeated ’Apostle Bashir,’ the sixth Apostle!"

By now, the Soul Extinguishing Option indicated that all Apostles of intermediate rank had been annihilated!

Previously, when Bashir summoned the demon, it caused a considerable commotion, which even he, on the edge of the island, could detect.

The demon was exceedingly powerful; he estimated that even if he stepped forward without employing some clever tactics, he would most likely need to avoid its initial onslaught first.

"It seems that those chosen as Apostles indeed have some tricks up their sleeves."

Lin Xun stealthily made his way over, just in time to witness the demise of the fifth Apostle, while Bashir, the sixth Apostle, stood dazed in place.

After the demon vanished, he immediately delivered a ’Sword of the Bloody King’ and sent Bashir to ascend to the heavens.

Soon, the ’Rest Page’ that signified victory appeared before Lin Xun.

He approached and clicked on the ’Rest and Recuperate’ option on the page.

The Son of Evil had endless stamina and didn’t need to refresh to recover; what needed restoration was the ’Catastrophe Witch,’ who had run out of mana and passed out.

Once the witch’s Shell had its mana fully restored, he proceeded to charge the ’Sword of the Bloody King’ while checking on the situation of the senior Apostles.

[Apostle Amari—Deceased!]

[Apostle Vesinu—Alive, remaining minions 2/8]

[Apostle Nehemiah—Deceased!]

[Apostle Solomon—Alive, remaining minions 4/6]

Apart from himself and Amos, there were only two survivors left in the entire Apostle war.

Lin Xun hadn’t expected Vesinu to be so resilient as to have survived until now.

At this moment, he had two choices. The first was to directly click on the Rest Page and teleport back to the Library.

As the sole victor of the intermediate area, he could take over all the territories of the intermediate Apostles.

If he chose not to engage in the struggle with the senior Apostles, judging by the number of minions remaining and the rankings and combined strength of the Apostles, Vesinu had only a minuscule chance of survival.

If nothing unexpected happened, Solomon would become the ultimate victor of the senior area.

In the lower area, Amos was already his underling. Lin Xun had no intention of sharing territory in the lower area with Amos; allowing him to retain his original territory was already a generous act.

The territories of the other two lower Apostles too, he planned to claim entirely for himself.

In doing so, Lin Xun would effectively own the territories of seven Apostles. Merely conducting a Ceremony of Dedication would yield a vast amount of Spirituality.

The second choice would be to continue participating in the struggle of the senior Apostles—aiming to become the final victor and the first Apostle, taking over every single territory controlled by the current Apostles.

The territories of the senior Apostles were more numerous and wider compared to those of the intermediate and lower ones.

If he could claim them all, Lin Xun would truly become a tycoon who wouldn’t need to think twice about spending Spirituality.

Forging a powerful set of equipment for each of his main Shells would no longer be a dream.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, pondering and weighing his options.

According to the information on Vesinu, each senior Apostle possessed at least Mythical+ Level strength, and although Solomon had not reached the Immortal realm, his strength was the foremost among all the Apostles, a peak existence among Demigods.

Lin Xun could massacre at the Mythical Level, but facing an Apostle of Mythical+ Level was another story.

His possession of the ’Catastrophe Witch’s’ Shell had thrust him up 20 levels, reaching the unprecedented level of 110.

However, compared to these seasoned Apostles, he had only disadvantages, not advantages in terms of level.

In terms of Shell quality and equipment, he was also inferior to these old-timers armed to the teeth.

Lin Xun’s only advantage lay in the enhancement of the Shell’s strength brought about by Soul amplification.

Even if Soul amplification could bridge the gap created by the Shell’s level and equipment, the enormous boost in strength due to Shell quality was simply too great to completely overcome.

Challenging a Mythical+ Level Shell in full godly gear and immensely high level with only a Mythical Level Shell seemed somewhat unrealistic.

But Lin Xun was not entirely without a chance!

He looked at the item in his inventory—the ’Touch of Joy.’

[’Touch of Joy’ (Immortal Class Item): ...Using this item, you can inflict pleasure or extreme pleasure on a chosen target.]

[Pleasure will greatly increase the target’s affection for you, while extreme pleasure can put the target in a long-term state of control and has a high chance of being lethal against targets below the Immortal level! This item is consumable and can only be used once.]

It was known that Solomon had not yet reached the false god’s Immortal realm and remained at Mythical+ Level.

This item, essentially a Demigod killer, was nothing short of a nuclear strike.

The artifact’s Luck Value had not yet fully recovered, but according to the item’s description of ’high chance,’ it was estimated that any number he rolled would likely be lethal.

Choosing to cut his losses at this point was the safest decision, while competing for first Apostle came with a small chance of overturning.

After much consideration, Lin Xun finally made up his mind.

With the ’Unextinguishable Fire’s’ Soul Mystery, even if he died in battle and encountered ’Soul Annihilation,’ he could safely return to the Library unscathed.

After the current Apostle war ended, waiting for the next one could be an eternity.

Since not many Apostles remained in this round, they would have to wait for nine Apostle elections to refill the ranks before starting the next war.

If Lin Xun was to overthrow the Supreme God and destroy the New World, he needed to grow as quickly as possible.

"None of you... shall live!"

He controlled his Shell, leaving the island of the intermediate Apostles, and flew toward the final battlefield.
