I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1401

Chapter 1401: Chapter 1403: Skeleton Captain Chapter 1401: Chapter 1403: Skeleton Captain “Who am I, hahaha, who am I?” The Skeleton Pirate Captain seemed to have heard a very amusing question and burst into hearty laughter so intense that his jawbone fell off and rolled onto the deck, where it continued to twitch.

Just like a set of false teeth dropping to the floor, the Skeleton Pirate Captain bent over to pick up his jawbone and casually reattached it, before singing loudly:
“I am a phantom,”
“Traveling through the cracks of time and space,”
“I have suffered endless hardships,”
“Yet only received curses from everyone,”
“I am undying and unending,”
“But forever live in agony,”
“I have witnessed the destruction of numerous histories,”
“Yet others see me as a madman,”
“I wander through endless apocalypses,”
“I roam within the illusory Star Realm,”
“Bloodshed and slaughter have long numbed me,”
“No treasures can make my heart beat,”
…

A song filled with bizarre and absurd style flowed from the mouth of this Skeleton Captain; as he sang, all the equipment on the battleship seemed to join in with the singing.

The military flags rose and fell with the rhythm, the ropes twisted like snakes along with the song, and even the steam whistle emitted varying pitches according to the beat, making Song Jian feel as if the entire ship had merged with the Skeleton Captain before him, controlled entirely by his will!

“I walk slowly amidst a sky full of corpses…”

“I walk slowly against a sky full of blood…”

“I walk to the sounds of countless dead wailing…”

“I walk to the cheers of countless ambitions and desires…”

“I am who I am, the lonely captain of the Apocalypse Cruiser, Swo Particklaydman!”

As the song came to an end, the Skeleton Captain took off his hat and gave Song Jian an elegant bow. He then stood up, patted the matchlock pistol on his waist, and said, “Lad, you can call me Captain Swo. I control this ship, and if you don't want to be thrown overboard while we travel through time and space, you'd better show me some respect!”

Song Jian could sense that the undead being in front of him, which looked no different from a common skeleton soldier, had a certain eerie aura about it that caused a slight chaos in his perception.

Sometimes Song Jian felt that the skeleton captain in front of him was just an ordinary skeleton soldier bluffing intimidation, but moments later, he would perceive the aura of a being from the Legendary Realm.

Song Jian didn't speak, his face wore a faint smile as the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye on his forehead slowly opened. Now upgraded to level four, the Divine Eye opened without the previous seven-colored divine light, resembling an ordinary eye that just happened to be in the wrong place.

After the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye opened and looked towards the skeleton captain before him, suddenly, a hundred-meter-tall shadow appeared before Song Jian. This shadow was shrouded in a black cloak, emanating a dense Force of Death all around. It held a scythe that shone with a cold light and dripped with fresh blood in its grasp.

“Death God…” Song Jian's face changed dramatically, and he quickly closed his Breaking Illusion Divine Eye as cold sweat poured down uncontrollably.

“Even if it's not the Death God, it could be something similar, like an avatar of the Death God. This kind of divine power of death cannot be faked!” Song Jian's heart trembled as the moment he opened his Breaking Illusion Divine Eye, he sensed the divine power of death from the other party. Although it was just a trace, it was the genuine divine power of death which only the Death God, the one who controls the role of death, would possess!

The Death God was also a mighty deity that existed for eons. Even compared to the Dragon God, its strength was by no means weaker, and in some respects, even surpassed the Dragon God by a lot. Even though Song Jian himself possessed a trace of the Dragon God's Power, before the Death God, he still seemed insignificant.

“Hehehe, boy, as a member of the human race, you've been blessed by the Dragon God, which is quite bizarre. Could it be that you are a Giant Dragon cloaked in human skin?” the Skeleton Captain Swo asked curiously, with a chilling laugh.

Just then, several flashes of white light flickered on the deck, and following them, a few players appeared. Seeing the newcomers, Captain Swo reverted to his previous cold, undead demeanor, sizing up the others with his gaze.

“What the hell, why is there an undead monster here? Is it a BOSS? The BOSS of the Doom Cruise?” one of the players exclaimed in surprise.

“Idiot!” someone muttered under their breath.

“Don't talk. This skeleton doesn't look ordinary. It could be some kind of guide. If you anger it, be careful or it might just throw you overboard!”

A few people seemed to know each other, looking at Swo with doubtful and uncertain expressions, whispering among themselves.

Meanwhile, Swo stood there with an icy demeanor, the crimson flames in his eye sockets swaying without saying a word, showing none of the previous engagement he had with Song Jian.

After a while, more people steadily arrived on deck. Song Jian noticed that not only were there players from the City of Hope, but players from five or six other cities also appeared here. Moreover, Song Jian spotted players from the City of Sin and the City of Hymns, which were hundreds of kilometers away.

Considering that these two cities were over a thousand kilometers away from the City of Hope and six or seven hundred kilometers away from this iron behemoth, the fact that they were able to get here within half an hour indicated that they were the elite of the elite. Naturally, their numbers were much fewer than those from other cities.

Apart from players, Song Jian also saw numerous NPCs from the game world appearing on the deck. Unlike the players who looked relaxed and happy, these NPCs had serious expressions, not uttering a word, their bodies tense, as if they were on guard for danger at any moment.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Song Jian saw that many people had already flown out over the sea, probably only a hundred or two hundred meters away from the iron behemoth. At that moment, the entire ship, along with the calm sea surface around it for a hundred meters, began to become illusory. Some people sped up towards the ship, but they seemed to phase through it like a mirage. Song Jian clearly saw people flying next to him, yet they could only hover mid-air, staring at each other as if they were in different dimensions.

Soon, the people who had not boarded the ship began to slowly disappear from Song Jian's view. He understood that the ship had already left its previous position, entering another dimensional plane. Although it seemed like nothing had changed around them, in reality, they had arrived in another strange dimensional plane.

“Dear guests, welcome aboard the Doom Cruise. Here, you will embark on a seven-day journey through time and space. I wish you a pleasant journey!”

At this moment, Skeleton Captain Swo suddenly spoke up, his voice drawing everyone's attention.

“Next, I will explain the rules of the Doom Cruise. Listen carefully because…”

Skeleton Captain Swo suddenly displayed a sinister smile as a black flame rose around him. Within the flames, it seemed like millions of souls were struggling and wailing continuously. Captain Swo laughed heartily, saying, “If you fail to grasp these rules, you will all die here!”
