Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1002 - 947: Mysterious World

At this moment, the beings of The Second World were immersed in the joy of the advent of the Heaven-Sent Era, celebrating wildly everywhere. People were high-fiving and hugging one another, with vitality filling the air.

But just then, a heavy announcement echoed throughout the world—

"[System Announcement]: One of The Second World’s four Demigods, [Blade Hunter], has fallen, killed by the [King of Hell]. The number of Demigods in The Second World has decreased to three."

The smiles of the beings froze completely, and the hands that were about to high-five stopped mid-air, unable to clap anymore.

But that wasn’t all; soon, another announcement resounded between heaven and earth—

"[System Announcement]: A division of the [Queen of Agony] has fallen, inciting the wrath of the Demon Clan’s Thunder. The [King of Hell], [King of Annihilation], [King of the Fallen], [King of Greed], [Dark King], [King of Curses], [Queen of Agony], the Seven Archdemons, resolve to reunite and descend upon The Second World to massacre Hero’s Continent! Estimated arrival in 72 hours, countdown begins!"

"It’s over! Not even ten God of Slaughter can stop them now!" muttered a reporter, whose words were broadcast to thousands of households via live streaming.

...

Huang Yi and four others sacrificed their lives to finally slay the division of the Queen of Agony, but they all died themselves, entering the Death Space.

When players die in the wild areas, they enter such a dark space. It is extremely unique, pitch-black, even with the strongest Dark Vision, nothing can be seen—a representation of death and despair. Moreover, no messages can be received here, and communication with the outside world is impossible. The only audible sound is the system announcements coming from outside.

Here, time seems eternally frozen. There’s no sense of color, no sense of life; no one wishes to stay a moment longer, and players generally quickly choose Resurrection or Reincarnation to leave here sooner.

Huang Yi was not unfamiliar with this place, having experienced death multiple times and visited this dark space many times before.

But this time, he didn’t choose to resurrect for a long while!

At this moment, he was utterly stunned!

From the moment he entered Death Space, he was completely astounded!

Not even the announcements of the Queen of Agony or the advent of the Heaven-Sent Era could snap him out of his shock!

Because he saw something!

He actually saw something in the void of Death Space!

More accurately, his left eye saw something, while his right eye remained in utter darkness.

What unfolded before his left eye was a black and white world.

At this moment, he was high up in the sky, above was a grey sky, below was an endless ocean with several islands resembling the landscape of Sun Island almost exactly, like a copy of The Second World.

However, on this Sun Island, there were no artificial buildings and facilities constructed by the Sun Guild, resembling the undeveloped original Sun Island at the start of The Second World several years ago.

Huang Yi looked around, seeing grey and white Heroic Spirits everywhere, filling the entire space. Some floated high in the sky, some drifted with the waves in the ocean, or slowly moved on the islands. Their bodies were semi-transparent, stiff, with blank and lifeless expressions, seemingly unconscious.

Huang Yi looked down at himself; he was also in this semi-transparent form, without a solid body, without sensation. It was like looking at his own shadow in everyday life, knowing it was himself but feeling no sense of self.

This eerie scene instantly sent a shiver down his spine!

Who could have guessed that such a world was hidden within Death Space?

The Second World had been open for several years, and almost every player had died and come here, yet no one had ever reported seeing such a scene in Death Space!

Just then, Huang Yi turned to see behind him, his pupils suddenly contracting!

Behind him stood a massive transparent figure!

This enormous figure was shirtless, with knotted muscles, long hair loosely draped, exuding a primitive human’s aura.

This figure was very familiar; it was the Fallen General he had previously killed!

Unexpectedly, he saw it here again!

Almost instinctively, Huang Yi’s hair stood on end, ready to face another fierce battle.

But soon, he realized the Fallen General’s expression was blank, wandering aimlessly in the air, showing no intention of attacking him.

This was merely the fallen soul of the General, with no consciousness left!

Huang Yi then relaxed, turning his head to observe his surroundings once more.

Soon, he spotted four familiar figures!

The first person appeared around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, handsome, full of righteousness, wearing a warrior’s offensive armor, wielding two long War Blades.

The second was a young Swordsman, with an arrogant expression, about the same age as Huang Yi, holding a long sword.

The third had ordinary looks but wore a Dragon Robe, holding a fang-shaped Dagger!

The last was a middle-aged man, clad in heavy Knight’s Armor, holding a long staff that shimmered with a gentle glow.

These four were undoubtedly Huang Yi’s recent teammates—Dao Feng, Sharp Sword, Dragon Spike, and Thunder God. The weapons in their hands were all of Divine Quality, unique and inimitable.

Their bodies were also semi-transparent, lacking physical form, like the Heroic Spirits around them. But their expressions were not lifeless; they were lively and emotional, starkly contrasting with the dazed and rigid Heroic Spirits nearby.

At this moment, the announcement of the Queen of Agony being slain had just ended, and the four revealed expressions of relief, finally relaxing.

"..." Huang Yi reflexively opened his mouth, wanting to call their names, but he could not make any sound.

He then realized this was a silent world, where all the floating Heroic Spirits were the same, unable to produce any sound.

Just then, Dao Feng smiled to himself, and his figure suddenly vanished into the air, leaving no trace.

Dragon Spike also let out a long breath, and his figure disappeared into the air.

Thunder God yawned, unconsciously turned his head, his gaze happened to sweep past Huang Yi. But this gaze had no pause, no emotional display, no intention to greet—as if he hadn’t seen him, and then he too vanished into the air.

Huang Yi stared at the spot where they disappeared, lost in thought.

From that brief moment, it was apparent that Thunder God and the others likely had no visual ability, just like being in a normal Death Space. So, even standing before them, they wouldn’t perceive him. In their view, the surroundings were just a dark space with nothing in it.

With their resurrection and departure, only Sharp Sword remained in place.

At this moment, Sharp Sword suddenly turned his head, staring fixedly at Huang Yi!

Their gazes met!

In that instant, Huang Yi felt a sudden pang of heartache.

Sharp Sword’s gaze seemed subtly different from Thunder God’s earlier look.

Instinctively, Huang Yi maintained a neutral expression, concealing any unusual emotion. His eyes quickly lost focus, making his gaze non-directional, like a typical state in Death Space. His head also moved randomly, showing a semblance of unconscious relaxation.

Just then, Sharp Sword seemed to smile slightly, and boldly walked toward Huang Yi, his gaze locked unwaveringly on Huang Yi.

Soon, Sharp Sword stood directly in front of Huang Yi, his sharp eyes nearly facing Huang Yi’s, the intensity of his presence reaching its peak.

Looking into Sharp Sword’s piercing sharp eyes, even seeing his reflection in the pupils, Huang Yi’s heart was in his throat!
