Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1055 - 999 Dead Star

Forest Goddess!

Huang Yi heard this name and his heart immediately shivered.

This Wandering Divine Envoy Clare, just like that black cat, had actually once been under his mother’s command.

He had long heard of the myth of his mother, the Forest Goddess. Back then, when the Forest Goddess was in the Heaven Realm, she was a figure of prominence among the deities, with many experts emerging in her Forest Temple, and ordinary deities dared not provoke her.

However, later when she fell in love with the Beast God, she was hunted by the entire Heaven Realm, and the Forest Temple thus lost its glory. Many of her former followers were either killed or captured; like the previous black cat who was captured by Takasma in The Third World.

"Since you once followed the great Forest Goddess, why were you still captured into Heroes’ Prison?" Huang Yi asked calmly, showing the appropriate curiosity.

The Wandering Divine Envoy Clare smiled slightly with some pride and said, "Back then, after the Forest Goddess disappeared, the gods and hordes of demons scrambled to recruit her followers, with those who resisted being killed or imprisoned. Many succumbed because of this. But I am proud and serve none other than the Forest Goddess. Since then, I have wandered the Heaven Realm. Until one day, Death God’s Temple wanted to recruit me, I refused them, and was captured into Heroes’ Prison as a result."

"The Forest Goddess ah!" At this moment, Guardian Star·Yu Tianyi, one of the Six Great Messengers of the Feathered Race, spoke softly. He was stroking the Astrological Crystal Ball in his hand, and slowly said, "Back then, Lord Johns researched the doctrines of various deities, including that of the Forest Goddess. Lord Johns once said that the Forest Goddess’s power in life and healing had reached the level of creation, potentially threatening the status of the God of Life. It’s just a pity that the Forest Goddess later disappeared and her corresponding constellation dimmed. Even the star map divination could not determine the whereabouts of the Forest Goddess."

"Of course, the power of the Forest Goddess cannot be compared to ordinary deities!" The Wandering Divine Envoy Clare nodded with some pride, as if no matter how many years had passed, the admiration for the Forest Goddess in his heart had never diminished.

At this moment, Huang Yi’s palm flickered as he took out the flag of the Hero Empire and waved it towards the Wandering Divine Envoy Clare in the prison, saying, "That’s perfect; under my command in the Hero Empire Guardians, there’s a black cat that was also a messenger of the Forest Goddess. If you agree to become a Guardian of the Hero Empire, you’ll be able to meet it. You were both former followers of the Forest Goddess, and should have much in common to talk about."

"Oh? What a coincidence!" The Wandering Divine Envoy Clare’s bright eyes flashed with a hint of interest, "Given that, then I agree with you."

Once the words fell, a brand new name—Wandering Divine Envoy Clare—suddenly appeared on Huang Yi’s flag!

Thus, this Void God expert from the Heaven Realm became a Guardian of the Hero Empire!

Huang Yi immediately waved his hand, removing the seal power in the prison!

The Wandering Divine Envoy Clare stepped forward, leaning on his scepter, and walked out leisurely. His clothes were tattered, but he walked with his head held high, exuding an aura of superiority.

At the moment when he came out, the six Feathered Race demigods behind Huang Yi all took a slight step back, seemingly feeling enormous pressure.

"Hmm?" Just then, the Wandering Divine Envoy Clare stared at Huang Yi and let out a light sound of surprise.

He seemed to feel some traces of the Forest Goddess’s aura faintly emanating from Huang Yi, and that aura seemed very pure. However, this feeling was fleeting and mixed with various other auras, making him hesitant to fully confirm it.

"What’s wrong?" Huang Yi asked knowingly.

The Wandering Divine Envoy Clare stared at Huang Yi for a while, finally shaking his head with a smile, "I don’t know why, but your aura makes me feel a great sense of familiarity, reminiscent of the Forest Goddess. It might just be my illusion though!"

Huang Yi smiled faintly and did not delve further into the topic. Next, he directly teleported with these seven Semigod Guardians out of Heroes’ Prison, appearing at the very top of the Sky Garden outside.

At this moment, the Dean’s projection was still standing there. He noticed the appearance of Huang Yi and the others, and a gleam suddenly flashed through his aged eyes. His gaze swept over the seven Semigods behind Huang Yi and finally locked onto Wandering Divine Envoy Clare.

"Void God!" The Dean uttered two words, slightly shaken.

"Your true form seems to be a Void God as well." Wandering Divine Envoy Clare also stared at the Dean, showing an intrigued expression.

The Dean nodded and then looked at Huang Yi, laughing, "God of Slaughter, your Hero Empire now has accumulated twenty Semigod Guardians! Such powerful strength, even when placed in the Recent Ancients, or even the Ancient Era, could be considered a superpower renowned far and wide. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse simply can’t threaten the Hero Empire anymore."

"Just twenty Semigods already count as a superpower? Back in the Feathered Race’s most glorious days, we had over three hundred Semigods! Even Void Gods numbered over a dozen, and all races in the Second World had to submit to us." The female Semigod from the Feathered Race’s Snow Drifter Clan, Eastern Snow Drifter Xue Zhuqing, suddenly questioned, puzzled.

"No way! How did the Second World become so weakened?" At this time, the Semigod from the Feathered Race’s Chase Wind Clan, Storm Black Hole Thornbird, seemed to have detected something, turned to look around at the heavens and earth, exclaiming, "I can’t feel that abundant vastness of nature’s spiritual energy like in the old days. I once drifted through the entire Second World, almost always wandering in the ocean of nature’s spiritual energy, with every breath sucking endless spiritual energy into my body, transforming into my strength. I visited world after world, but apart from the First World and the Third World, no world’s spiritual energy compared to the Second World. Yet now, the spiritual energy is so thin, it’s no different from those barren Small Worlds."

Fallen Star, Xia Moyu also nodded, continuously scrutinizing the surrounding heavens and earth, said, "I’ve sensed it too! It’s as if the Second World’s essence has been extracted, leaving only a shell, almost unable to feel its vitality! Although every world has a certain lifespan and does indeed age slowly, the Second World’s aging speed seems particularly fast! According to its normal lifespan, it should still be in the normal stage now, but it’s almost reaching the end of its life! If this continues, it might soon become a Dead Star."

"Indeed, strange things have been happening in this world, and no one has ever investigated them." Huang Yi nodded, "However, now the Seven Archdemons have launched a war to completely destroy this world. Perhaps the Second World won’t wait to become a Dead Star, as it will be destroyed by the Seven Archdemons. Our Hero Empire is the first power in their path. Soon, some Demigod Experts will come to invade our Hero Empire, you all hurry to the frontier areas to stop them!"

"No problem! Just let me stretch my muscles!" Wandering Divine Envoy Clare smiled gracefully, and their figure suddenly disappeared into the air, leaving no clue as to where they went.

The six Semigods of the Feathered Race also flapped their wings, flying into the sky like six rays of light vanishing into the horizon.

...

At this moment, in the vast dimension stream of time, the avatars of the Seven Archdemons were fiercely engaging in battle with the Dean and a group of Guardians from the Hero Empire.

In this time stream, various historical echoes continually flowed by, great empires from history, peerless powerhouses, epic deeds, merging into endless fragments of light sweeping through.

Countless voices from the past, all coming faintly, indistinctly, as if traversing time from the distant past.

The avatars of the Seven Archdemons, alongside the Dean and others, floated and sank in this river of time, drifting with the current. Their combat aura threatened to annihilate everything, with waves of terrifying shock waves sweeping in all directions, submerging countless historical remnants.

"Seven Archdemons, you should give up! The God of Slaughter just released seven more Semigod Guardians, one of whom even reached the Void God Level. The God of Slaughter controls Heroes’ Prison, you cannot defeat him." At this moment, the Dean said faintly, his old voice in the dimension stream of time, echoing endlessly.

The Queen of Agony waved her jade hand, releasing a great whiplash that ravaged through time and space, casually saying, "So what if there’s Heroes’ Prison, with the God of Slaughter’s strength, he can’t release real criminals that can threaten us Seven Archdemons. This time, the Second World must be annihilated, no one can save it."

"Indeed!" The avatar of the King of Annihilation also agreed indifferently, showing a calm mastery of everything, "Soon, the national war of the Heaven-Sent Man on Hero’s Continent will end. Our Demon Clan has already helped those invaders capture cities and seize vast lands. While the God of Slaughter’s Guardians cannot leave the Hero Empire’s range to retake lost territory, the defeat is inevitable! Once defeated, the entire Hero Empire faction will suffer punishment, and all beings under its power will see a significant decrease in strength. At that point, the Semigod Guardians of the Hero Empire won’t even be able to protect themselves, let alone defend the Hero Empire."

King of Greed eyed the pocket watch in the Dean’s hand, licking his lips, blatantly displaying his greed: "Dean, you think you’ve drawn us into the dimension stream of time, delaying the Hero Empire’s demise, but we don’t care at all. When the Hero Empire is defeated, all of these Guardians of the Hero Empire around you will be severely weakened, making it easy for us to crush them. Once they’re dead, it’ll be your turn. Even if you have the Time of Georgia, it will merely become another Magic Instrument for us! Back in the Eternal Ancient Era, I once fought for this Divine Artifact in Holy Giant Dragon Georgia’s hands, and now I can finally fulfill my wish."
