Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1001 - 946: Heaven-Sent Era

The entire Second World had frozen!

Across all continents, countless beings stood dumbfounded, with the recent system announcement echoing in their ears.

On Sun Island, journalists from various nations lifted their heads, gazing at the black hole high above. Behind their gaze was an audience of countless viewers watching the live broadcast globally.

Everyone was silent. From start to finish, they couldn’t clearly see what was happening inside the black hole, nor how the battle was being fought. They only heard five loud explosions in succession, accompanied by five beams of light flying out of the black hole, and then nothing more followed by the announcement.

No one knew what kind of arduous and exceptional battle Huang Yi and his five companions underwent within the black hole, what fierce slaughter they endured to finally slay the elusive enemy that was the Queen of Agony!

The Queen of Agony, the ultimate evil that had ravaged the Second World for countless years, was only heard of in historical references and the legends of bards. And now, a mere avatar of hers was slain by five players!

This is the strongest entity ever killed by the ten billion Heaven-Sent people around the world!

This feat has completely altered the trajectory of the world and will be eternally recorded in the history of the Second World!

If the five members of the Sword Dragon Slayer team hadn’t stepped in and turned the tide, the consequences would have been catastrophic. She would have gone to the depths of the universe to join forces with the King of the Fallen and the King of Greed to kill the headmaster of the Oskan Royal Academy. Should the headmaster die, it would break the pillars of the Second World, leaving no power to halt the Seven Archdemons. The vibrant and varied races that evolved over countless years, the splendid civilizations, and the legendary epics of great heroes... all of it would end, erased by the Seven Archdemons.

And this terrifying outcome has been successfully rewritten by Huang Yi’s team of five!

At this moment, a solemn announcement sounded again throughout the world—

"[System Announcement]: The Second World has successfully achieved the [Era of Achievement]—[Defiance! Slaughter of the Queen of Agony!], rewriting history. The avatar slain by the [Sword Emperor], [Sword Emperor], [God of Slaughter], [Thunder God], [Dragon Emperor] five was defined as an era event, named [Five Gods Slaying Demons]. The [City Governance Era] ends, and the Second World steps into the [Heaven-Sent Era]—some world rules are rewritten, all Heaven-Sent people receive All Attributes +20%; a large number of ruins, treasure vaults, dungeons, heritages, and other adventures will emerge, awaiting those with fate; the death of the Queen of Agony’s avatar severely hit the morale of the Demon Clan, all Demons in the Heaven-Sent Era permanently reduced by 20% in attributes until the end of the era."

This announcement left everyone worldwide dumbfounded once again!

Before, the Second World only had six eras, namely the Eternal Ancient Era, Primordial Era, Remote Antiquity, Ancient Era, Recent Ancients, and the City Governance Era! Each era had its unique visage, unique era events, unique history. Ever since entering the Second World, players had always been in the City Governance Era, and no one had ever thought about changing eras.

Unexpectedly now, after Huang Yi’s team completed this "Five Gods Slaying Demons" era event, they unwittingly opened the next era’s prologue!

This will be a new era with fiercer competition, and from the simple introduction in the announcement, you can glean much information—world rules rewritten, Heaven-Sent people strengthened, Demons weakened. Simultaneously, there will be a large number of ruins, treasure vaults, dungeons, heritages, and other adventures emerging, which will surely produce a batch of brand new masters! Everyone is eligible to partake in this grand feast!

In an instant, the world erupted!

Regardless of the player’s nation, whether expert or novice, all were uncontrollably excited!

Each one of them received real benefits; maybe someone will discover an Ancient Ruin tomorrow, or the next week someone will gain the heritage of an ancient expert, or perhaps, simply by walking, accidentally fall off a cliff and discover a treasure. In this crazy era, encounters that once existed only for a few are now starting to become widespread.

And all of this was bought at the cost of the lives of the five savior heroes, Huang Yi and his team!

...

Central Continent.

Vice Principal Ni Feng turned his head, gazing dumbfoundedly in the direction of Hero’s Continent. It was as if his gaze penetrated layers of oceans to see the black hole above Sun Island and he revealed an excited smile: "Who would have thought that the God of Slaughter and the others could actually kill the Queen of Agony! The last time something like this happened was over thirty years ago when the avatar of the Dark King was slain."

Beside him, Divine Marksman Ica shook his head: "More than thirty years ago, the avatar of the Dark King I killed was just a weak incarnation, not comparable to today’s avatar of the Queen of Agony. The miracle created by the God of Slaughter and the other five has completely surpassed me. The future of the Second World belongs to those Heaven-Sent people!"

"Hmph!" A large figure of the King of Annihilation nearby snorted coldly. The surrounding temperature seemed to drop, and his demonic eyes burned with blazing destructive fire, "The Seven Archdemons planned everything meticulously, including all the demigod experts in the Second World, but they overlooked this group of ants known as the God of Slaughter and his companions. They’ve dared to kill even the avatar of the Queen of Agony, committing an unforgivable transgression! Consider yourself lucky today; you should take this time to prepare for your end. In three days, we shall meet again, and by then, this world will not be as it is now!"

In the end, the King of Annihilation’s voice squeezed through clenched teeth, and a shroud of demonic qi erupted from his body, instantly engulfing the entire world.

Afterward, his silhouette vanished, his whereabouts unknown.

Divine Marksman Ica and Ni Feng breathed a small sigh of relief, looking down at the devastated Central Continent, grateful that the creatures of this world had been granted a brief respite.

...

Deep in the universe.

The avatars of King of the Fallen and King of Greed had already distanced themselves from the dean, coldly watching him.

The power of these avatars of The Seven Archdemons was subtly linked and mutually influenced, like a formation. With the death of the Queen of Agony, the strength of The Seven Archdemons decreased as well. Originally, the avatars of these two Demon Kings were evenly matched against the dean, but now they were no longer a match for him. Their assassination attempt had failed!

King of Greed licked his lips, a sinister gaze fixed on the dean, and said: "I didn’t expect God of Slaughter and his team to perform such a heaven-defying act, effectively saving your life. You are lucky to live for a few more days! But once the King of Hell returns from the Auroyass World, it will be the death knell for your The Second World!"

With that, King of Greed and King of the Fallen disappeared among the stars, as if they had never appeared. All that remained were the deep breaths of the dean and the fragments of the planet shattered by that fight.

"God of Slaughter and their team have grown to such an extent! How gratifying!" The dean wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, calming his emotions, his aged and wise gaze looking far towards the direction of The Second World, rushing at light speed.

He must race against time to return to The Second World and preside over the situation!

...

Auroyass World.

At this moment, this fragile world was practically ruined, with void turbulence everywhere and space cracks as numerous as cow hair. Numerous cities were reduced to ruins, countless beings turned into corpses. The sky was no longer complete and looking up, one could only see space cracks dividing the sky into countless fragments.

In the area with the most cracks, the avatar of King of Hell stepped on the void, glancing at the rapidly evading Blade Hunter, casually stepping forward.

In the next moment, his figure suddenly vanished, appearing directly in front of the fleeing Blade Hunter, blocking the path.

From beneath King of Hell’s black robe, a pale hand slowly extended, once again gripping Blade Hunter by the neck, lifting him as if picking up a chick.

Black Qi erupted from his hand, pouring into Blade Hunter’s body, swiftly destroying his vitality.

Blade Hunter’s eyes bulged, an indistinct sound escaped his throat, his body struggling weakly.

King of Hell lifted his hat, facing Blade Hunter, and from the dark, hollow hat came an unhurried voice: "Your life shall be used to commemorate the dead avatar of the Queen of Agony. In three days, the entire The Second World will follow your path."

With those words, his pale hand tightened, muscles straining, knuckles whitening, and suddenly intensified the force!

"Crunch!" Blade Hunter’s neck was directly snapped, his aged head flying out, from the severed neck incessantly came sizzling black smoke, swiftly corroding his remaining life force.

"Gulp, gulp!" Blade Hunter’s mouth opened wide, attempting to make a sound, but ultimately nothing came out.

Quickly, the life force in his eyes dimmed like a flower wilting rapidly, ultimately motionless, completely devoid of light.

This oldest demigod expert of The Second World was utterly dead!

In the next moment, the avatar of King of Hell shot skyward, merging into the brilliant, vast starry sky.

He sped through the cosmos, the black cloak fluttering behind him, trailing a long tail of demonic Qi, turning every planet he passed to dust, unstoppable.

His direction pointed straight at The Second World!
