Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1012 - 957 Takasama’s Cat

"Since this black cat is so powerful, I’ll try to communicate with its soul and see if it is willing to become the guardian of the Hero Empire!" said Soul Reaper. Nightmare, volunteering herself.

She widened her equine eyes, becoming focused, and stared unblinkingly at the black cat in the cell, as if opening a window into her soul, communicating in a special way.

Soul Reaper was an expert in the field of soul, and communication between souls could transcend language barriers of different worlds, races, and forms, directly conveying the meaning of one’s heart, at a much faster efficiency.

Soon, Soul Reaper. Nightmare turned her head to look at Huang Yi, raised her hoof, and neighed, "It has already agreed to become the guardian of the Hero Empire!"

"Great!" Huang Yi nodded, taking out the flag of the Hero Empire and waving it towards the black cat in the cell.

"Meow~" The black cat finally let out a cat’s cry, casually glancing at the flag in Huang Yi’s hand.

On that flag, a black shadow suddenly appeared, remarkably resembling the image of the black cat, lifelike, with every strand of fur clearly visible, and its green eyes were luminous, as if alive.

This signified that it had officially become the guardian of the Hero Empire!

"Alright, from now on, you will have freedom within the territories of the Hero Empire." Huang Yi put away the flag, looked at the black cat in the cell, and with a gesture of his hand, dispelled the sealing force of the cell.

"Meow~" The black cat lazily meowed, elegantly stood up, rested its front paws on the ground, stretched lazily, and then unhurriedly walked out of the cell, coming to stand in front of Huang Yi.

Suddenly, the black cat shuddered, abruptly lifted its head, and stared directly at Huang Yi!

Within those green eyes, there suddenly appeared a trace of surprise and suspicion, as if it had encountered something strange, yet dared not confirm.

After a while, its aloof demeanor suddenly dissipated, tilting its little head, wagging its tail, and affectionately rubbing against Huang Yi’s leg, like a pet being playful with its owner.

At that moment, Huang Yi clearly felt the black cat showed a sign of closeness to him, as if it regarded him as its master.

Could it be that it already sensed that he carried the aura of the Forest Goddess?

Huang Yi couldn’t help but squat down, stroking the black cat’s head, which immediately closed its eyes and actively responded to Huang Yi’s palm, looking extremely content.

The group of demigods beside them also scrutinized the black cat carefully. Even though their strong and imposing figures overshadowed it, in front of this small black cat, they dared not act rashly. Though they looked down on it, their eyes were full of admiration.

Upon noticing the black cat’s affection towards Huang Yi, the group of demigods froze, unable to react.

"How cute!" After a while, Naval Commander, Melancholy Moon couldn’t help but let out a natural motherly affection, crouching down and reaching out with her alabaster hands towards the black cat.

"Crack~" As her fingers touched the black cat, a black lightning bolt suddenly shot out, striking her hand fiercely.

"Ah!" Melancholy Moon screamed, retracting her hand as fast as lightning, but a bloody hole had already appeared on her finger, deep enough to see bone.

"Even though its aura is now filled with affection, don’t assume you can truly get close to it!" Azure Knight Gu Tianyun hurriedly pulled Melancholy Moon aside, still cautiously watching the black cat, "Just now, it emitted divine static, indicating that it has already reached the legendary Void God level, far surpassing us in strength!"

"Void God?" Upon hearing this term, Huang Yi was intrigued and hurriedly asked, "What does Void God mean?"

He recalled the broken divinity of the Harbinger of Doomsday. Once he fully absorbed the broken divinity, he would possess a Void God Battle Body, but he didn’t know what a Void God Battle Body was, until now hearing about it again.

"The Void God level is a level we demigods strive for!" Diego stared enviously at the black cat, clenching his long spear, "Level 100 is called the Holy Domain, level 200 is the Heavenly Domain, level 300 is the Divine Domain, but reaching the Divine Domain is more difficult than the previous levels combined. After reaching the demigod level, efforts must be made to gather Divine Power, replacing all internal strength with Divine Power, and then begin the arduous process of impacting the Divine Enthronement. It is an extremely protracted and arduous journey, one that many cannot complete in their lifetime. Even we demigods are trapped in this phase, with only a portion of our power being Divine Power. Who knows when it will be fully replaced? Once it happens, your body will be entirely Divine Power, changed to a Divine Body, endowed with numerous heavenly capabilities, like the divine static emitted by the cat before, automatically repelling anything that comes close, while no action is needed. With none being closer than the top-level demigods, they are reverently called ’Void Gods.’ Void Gods can begin to attempt to consolidate all their internal Divine Power into Divinity. Once successful, they can achieve Divine Enthronement! The Seven Archdemons are so formidable because they surpassed Void Gods in the Eternal Ancient Era. For them, condensing Divinity might be challenging for others, but for them, it’s a matter of will - they can condense Divinity at any time they wish, obtaining Divine Enthronement whenever they want! Thankfully, they only send avatars to cause chaos, or the battle would be impossible for us!"

"What a shame!" Holy Fighting Angel, Saint Sha, flapped his wings and sighed, "I was born in the Divine Realm, and from the moment of birth, I was at the Heavenly Domain Level, starting far beyond you mortal creatures, but even until now, I’m just an ordinary demigod. This Takasama you mentioned is truly too powerful; even his cat has reached the Void God Level! It’s a pity I couldn’t witness his era with my own eyes!"

Huang Yi smiled thoughtfully, gaining more confidence in the path beyond the Divine Domain. With the broken divinity of the Harbinger of Doomsday, his future progress speed would surely surpass that of ordinary demigods.

"From now on, this cat is no longer Takasama’s cat, but the God of Slaughter’s cat. I will become its third master!" Huang Yi said, reaching out to pick up the black cat and cradling it in his arms, addressing the assemblage of demigods, "Alright, let’s head out!"

Next, Huang Yi teleported out of Heroes’ Prison, and the majestic group of demigod powerhouses behind him also teleported out, appearing in the Sky Garden of Dragon City.

At this moment, it was already dawn outside. The golden morning light shone upon the earth, and the Sky Garden bathed in the warm glow, with the dragon head of Heroes’ Prison cloaked in a faint layer of golden light, overlooking the entirety of Dragon City.

Huang Yi led a group of demigods, standing at the highest point of Dragon City. The fierce and majestic figures of the demigods overshadowed the golden morning light, resembling Heavenly Gods descending, casting vast shadows, enveloping the streets and alleys of Dragon City!

In an instant, across the streets, gardens, plazas of Dragon City... Countless people all noticed the change, stopping in unison to gaze up at the top tier of the Sky Garden!

At that moment, it seemed as if all of Dragon City had paused, then the entire city erupted!

"The aura of those people is so intense, they’re like suns; even from this distance, I feel I’m suffocating!"

"That must be the peerless giants released from Heroes’ Prison by the God of Slaughter. I wonder what kind of strength they possess to have such a powerful presence?"

"The woman beside the God of Slaughter, wearing a cloak like seawater, holding a water orb in her hand... I seem to have seen such a description in ’Ancient Demigod Chronicles,’ that person appears to be the Navy Commander of the Opule Empire from ancient times..."

"That black horse seems to be the phantom horse ’Nightmare’ from eternal mythology, its body also burning with black flames..."

"What is that giant mouth? How can there be such an ugly and terrifying creature?"

"These people... could they all be demigods? My gosh! How could this be! Even at Oskan Royal Academy, there are only four demigods, and one has already been killed by the King of Hell!"

All at once, amazed voices echoed throughout the streets and alleys of the city, pointing in the direction of the Sky Garden.

No one expected Huang Yi to be able to release a group of demigod guardians all at once!

Demigods are tide bearers of the era; figures at the top of the pyramid, just below deities! Across the entire Second World, there were only four demigods, and one had just been killed by the avatar of the King of Hell!

And now, the Hero Empire actually possessed ten demigod guardians!

In this respect, the Hero Empire had become the most powerful force in the Second World, overshadowing even the Oskan Royal Academy! As for the other forces on the Central Continent, they weren’t even worth mentioning.

However, compared to those forces, the Hero Empire had a fatal weakness. No matter how many demigods they had, or how powerful they were, they were only guardians, unable to leave the Hero Empire’s boundaries, trapped within.

Whereas the forces on the Central Continent are free; their experts can go anywhere, and can even actively invade other forces.

In this regard, the Hero Empire was very weak, only able to retreat and hide within its own territory.

"God of Slaughter, how could there be so many demigod experts?!" Suddenly, the air resonated with a majestic voice, and a man wearing a golden dragon robe and crowned appeared, none other than Emperor Somrett.

Just now, he had been patrolling the imperial border, blocking the invasion of the demon clan’s army, but suddenly he sensed the great aura of a group of demigod powerhouses in Dragon City, and hurried over to check.

Huang Yi pointed to the group of demigods behind him, then petted the black cat in his arms, saying, "Emperor Somrett, from now on these demigods are your comrades, all are guardians of the Hero Empire, including this small black cat; its strength is greater than yours."
