Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1369 - 1299: The Birth of the Second Artifact Skill! Slaying God’s Curse!

This Heart of Lust is an auxiliary tool. With it, if Huang Yi goes to the seventh challenge again, even if there are no female players in the team, he will be able to proceed smoothly.

Additionally, in the Virtual World, some equipment and skills are specifically made for female players. Previously, Huang Yi led the Heroes’ Guild in the Tower of Pantheons and obtained such a skill book. But with this Heart of Lust, male players will also face no gender restrictions.

Of course, according to the item’s description, these uses are not the strongest aspect of the Heart of Lust. Its most powerful function should be its ability to fuse with the Heart of Lust - Male, transforming into a new mysterious treasure!

The Heart of Lust - Male, judging by its name, should be the heart of the male boss from the seventh challenge.

Next, Huang Yi looked at the last item dropped by the boss.

It was a crystal that glowed red throughout.

This crystal was flawless, crystal clear, and brilliantly bright, emitting a radiant red glow filled with surging Divine Power.

As Huang Yi held this crystal, he felt an intense scalding sensation, as if gripping a scorching piece of coal. Even with his Six Steps to Heaven strength, he found it a bit uncomfortable.

For anyone below the Ascension Stage, they would be unable to endure the burn of such supreme energy; they could not hold the stone barehanded and would need to use another vessel to contain it.

This is precisely a God Crystal Stone!

Until now, Huang Yi had only obtained one God Crystal Stone, which he acquired inside the Magic Tower of the Holy City within the Half-Beast Holy Land during a recent campaign.

God Crystal Stones, infused with Divine Power, can be used as top-level material to create extraordinarily powerful treasures. They can be absorbed into the body to increase the concentration of Divine Power or integrated into equipment to enhance its effects.

Previously, Huang Yi had merged the God Crystal Stone obtained from the Half-Beast Holy Land into his Wrath of the Godslayer, upgrading its level by one.

Once again, Huang Yi decided to make the same choice; he wanted to merge this God Crystal Stone into his Wrath of the Godslayer, to upgrade its level once more.

Currently, Wrath of the Godslayer is already a Level Five Divine Artifact Embryo. If it rises one more level, the second Artifact Skill should emerge!

Huang Yi immediately took out Wrath of the Godslayer, held the God Crystal Stone, and pressed it against the sharp axe blade.

The next moment, Wrath of the Godslayer erupted in red light, furiously absorbing the Divine Power from the God Crystal Stone.

The red glow of the God Crystal Stone quickly flowed into the golden-red axe blade of Wrath of the Godslayer.

As the absorption deepened, the God Crystal Stone slowly melted and softened, finally turning into a layer of sticky red liquid, covering the axe blade of Wrath of the Godslayer, and ultimately being fully absorbed.

"[System Prompt]: Your divine artifact embryo [Wrath of the Godslayer] has absorbed a God Crystal Stone, completing a Metamorphosis, advancing to a Level Six Divine Artifact Embryo, and birthing the second Artifact Skill. Since the divine artifact is named after you, the Artifact Skill requires you to determine it yourself. The system will provide some types of Artifact Skills for you to choose from, and will then custom tailor the second skill of Wrath of the Godslayer based on your characteristics. As your skill slots are full, you need to sacrifice a skill before acquiring the Artifact Skill."

Indeed, the second Artifact Skill of Wrath of the Godslayer is about to emerge!

Each divine artifact possesses a total of three Artifact Skills, but other artifacts’ skills are inherited from other God Sealers. Since Huang Yi’s divine artifact is named after him, he can customize the Artifact Skills himself!

Previously, Huang Yi already customized the first skill of Wrath of the Godslayer — Call of the Godslayer, which consumes Prestige Points to collect any player’s Killing Intent regardless of distance and inflict terrifying damage!

This time, another equally powerful Artifact Skill will be born.

Huang Yi quickly sacrificed an ordinary skill that he rarely used, freeing up a skill slot, and then immediately began customizing the second Artifact Skill.

"Please filter the first type — Attack, Healing, Defense." The system prompt quickly listed the options, identical to those when he customized the first skill before.

"Attack!" Huang Yi made the same choice as before.

"You have chosen an Attack-Type Artifact Skill. Please choose again from the following types: focused on attack power, focused on attack range, focused on attack effects."

Last time, Huang Yi chose active attack power. This time, he wanted to change it up and ultimately chose: "focused on attack effects!"

"You have chosen the attack type, emphasizing attack effectiveness of the Divine Artifact skill, please continue to select one from the following types: immediate effect, delayed effect, effect upon triggering condition, remote control activation."

This time, the options were to customize the activation method of this Divine Artifact skill. After reading the four options, Huang Yi ultimately chose the final option—

Remote control activation!

This option is quite novel, and the word "remote control" makes him feel intrigued.

Remote control is a very free method; he can let the effect of this skill temporarily lurk within the enemy’s body, and decide when it will activate at his will, often leading to many unexpected results.

For example, Huang Yi could release this skill on the enemy today, and wait for a week. The enemy remains unaware of the skill’s activation, thus lowering their guard. Who knows, maybe a week later, on a certain day, perhaps while the enemy is eating, shopping, or on the bed with their girlfriend, Huang Yi chooses to activate the skill, leaving the enemy unable to defend against it, potentially dying during an intimate moment with their girlfriend, with a lifeless body left lying on the bed, unresponsive to any touch.

You have chosen the attack type, emphasizing attack effectiveness, remote control activation of the Divine Artifact skill. Please continue to select one from the following types: consume Rage Value, consume Power of the Nefalem, consume Energy Value, consume Prestige Points. Different consumption types will result in varying skill effects, potency, manifestation, and execution methods, please choose carefully."

This time, it’s about selecting the consumption method for the Divine Artifact skill.

According to Huang Yi, Divine Artifacts belonging to entities like Thunder God, Heavenly Dao, Pharaoh require fixed Energy Value consumption each time they use the Divine Artifact skill. The consumption is quite substantial; for instance, the Thunder God’s skill Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields allows freedom in choosing the skill effect, reverting the target to 10 seconds ago or 3 days ago, with Energy Value consumption differing accordingly. Once the Energy Value is depleted, the Divine Artifact skill becomes unusable.

Huang Yi is customizing his Divine Artifact skill, so he can freely choose the consumption type, not necessarily opting for Energy Value.

This time, Huang Yi made the same choice as last time—consuming Prestige Points.

Anyway, he has plenty of Prestige Points; as long as he uses them sparingly, they should last him a long time.

You have chosen the attack type, emphasizing attack effectiveness, remote control activation, consuming Prestige Points of the Divine Artifact skill. Combined with your characteristics, the second skill of the Wrath of the Godslayer has been customized—[Slaying God’s Curse]: The Slaying God’s Curse is unavoidable and indefensible! After using this skill, one can curse the enemy by implanting a Seed of slaughter within them to monitor their whereabouts. You can choose the activation time for the Seed of slaughter anytime; once activated, the enemy loses sanity and indiscriminately attacks everyone nearby, even self-harming. The stronger the target enemy, the shorter the skill duration and more Prestige Points consumed; the weaker the target enemy, the longer the skill duration and fewer Prestige Points consumed. Once the duration ends, the Slaying God’s Curse automatically lifts."

Finally, the second skill of the Wrath of the Godslayer has been customized!

This Divine Artifact skill is equally special; it does not directly cause damage, but the skill effect is terrifying—it can make the target lose sanity, indiscriminately attacking everyone around them, even self-harming, and the activation time is remotely controlled by Huang Yi!

That’s truly terrifying!

For example, the enemy might respectfully stand before a powerful figure, listening back to the teachings of that figure. But suddenly, he loses sanity and starts attacking that figure unexpectedly, angering them and getting killed with a slap.

Or the enemy might be in a small inn, being intimate on the bed with their girlfriend, only to suddenly draw a weapon and kill the girlfriend with an axe.

Or the enemy could be in a beautiful garden, admiring dancing butterflies, singing birds, blooming flowers, marveling at how beautiful the world is, vowing to enjoy life, only to draw a sword and commit suicide the next moment.

...

This skill holds endless possibilities.

Huang Yi gently extended his palm, caressing the newly upgraded Wrath of the Godslayer.

Having ascended to the level six Divine Artifact embryo with two Divine Artifact skills acquired, its appearance has become more aesthetically pleasing!

The carvings on the axe handle are delicate and elegant, the lines shimmering, with the rich red Divine Power continually steaming out, as if an ocean of Divine Power resides within.

Holding the Wrath of the Godslayer in his hand, each pattern adhered closely to his palm, offering a comfortable grip, just right, and the force sensation of the axe handle is excellent, perfectly showcasing Huang Yi’s complete strength.

Huang Yi even feels a connection between this weapon and his heart; it is a part of his body. Whatever he thinks of, this weapon understands. Whatever enemy he wishes to attack, whichever part he wants to target, this weapon automatically aims at that enemy, striking the precise part from the most comfortable, accurate angle without any errors!

To upgrade from a Divine Artifact embryo to a finished Divine Artifact requires 10 levels; now this Wrath of the Godslayer has reached level six, the last Divine Artifact skill is expected to appear at level nine or ten!

By then, this will be the world’s first Divine Artifact created by a player!

From the name of the Divine Artifact, to the skill effect, execution method, consumption type, all are distinct from any other Divine Artifact!
