Chapter 1374 - 1304: I Am Sinister and Despicable Because the World Needs Light and Justice
System Prompt seemed to have mixed in something strange.
The Heavenly Demon was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but recall the name mentioned in the system prompt just now.
God of Slaughter...
God of Slaughter?
Why is this name appearing?
What is the relation between God of Slaughter and Spirit Demon in defeating this BOSS?
"Eh? Did you just hear a very strange system prompt? I think I heard the name of God of Slaughter... Could it be that I misheard?" Heavenly Demon looked at Huang Yi in confusion.
"No problem!" Huang Yi nodded seriously, "It was I who killed the BOSS! I’ve already passed the Seventh Challenge, and next I have to go to the mountain top. You play slowly, I’m leaving now."
After Huang Yi finished speaking, he immediately set himself as the Guardian BOSS of the Seventh Challenge.
The next moment, a slender figure suddenly appeared in place, holding an axe that emitted a red glow, standing there alone, yet exuding a mountainous grandeur.
This was precisely the clone of Huang Yi.
Huang Yi set himself as the Guardian BOSS for the first time.
The Heavenly Demon needs to defeat this BOSS to continue forward.
After the BOSS died, the stone wall of the cave nearby suddenly collapsed, and bright light shone down from above, revealing an exit.
Huang Yi’s body flickered, dashed directly out from that exit, disappearing from the eyes of the Heavenly Demon.
The expression of Heavenly Demon solidified, just staring blankly in the direction of Huang Yi’s disappearance, like a statue.
After a while, Heavenly Demon’s body trembled, and finally reacted!
It turned out, the one who killed the BOSS with him wasn’t Spirit Demon, but God of Slaughter disguised as Spirit Demon!
The God of Slaughter, whom he always thought was still on his way at the foot of the mountain, had already hurried back to the Seventh Challenge, quietly dealt with Spirit Demon, and took its place, deceiving him!
God of Slaughter attacked that BOSS in front of him, and he even obediently listened to God of Slaughter at the end, voluntarily stopped and handed over the BOSS!
He was played!
Heavenly Demon suddenly was filled with anger, his face flushed, feeling everything around him spinning, almost fainting out of rage.
At this moment, Huang Yi’s clone BOSS launched an attack, wielding Wrath of the Godslayer, chopping down at him head-on!
Heavenly Demon was consumed by anger, totally ignoring that clone, and was directly hit hard, his body flew out!
...
Not long after Huang Yi left the cave, he finally heard Heavenly Demon’s hysterical curses from afar inside the cave—
"Ah! God of Slaughter, f*** your mother! F*** your mother! You bastard, sinister and despicable..."
"Despicable?" Huang Yi looked up at the mountain summit within reach, whispered to himself: "I am despicable and sinister, because the world needs light and justice."
...
On the other side, after Thunder God and others were all killed, they chose to resurrect again, dropping one more level.
Everyone stared blankly at the sky, their hopeless eyes gazing at the thick dark clouds.
No one spoke, nor did anyone move forward to climb the mountain again.
This time, they were definitely too late!
Even if Huang Yi tells them the shortcut to the Third Challenge, it would still take a long time to climb back to the Seventh Challenge, and by then Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon would have already reached the mountain top.
"It’s over! We ultimately still failed!" Fuchan Fenrao shook his head dejectedly.
"It’s all my fault! I couldn’t hold on for a while longer; if I could have held out until God of Slaughter arrived, we might have had a chance to battle!" Thunder God sighed, leaning on that Pillar of Sea God like a cane.
"Is The Second World really going to be destroyed like this? The guild we created before, the cities we built, the ports we established, the ships we developed... the world created with endless effort and wealth, will it be destroyed just like this?" the Pope said with a bitter face.
"Don’t worry, there’s still God of Slaughter!" At this moment, the Poet comforted, his gaze still hopefully looking up at the clouds.
"As long as God of Slaughter is not dead, we have hope!" Heavenly Dao said optimistically.
Huang Yi is number one in the Freedom Organization, having been through countless crises in the past, but almost every time he managed to turn danger into safety, Heavenly Dao had blind confidence in Huang Yi.
The words of the Poet and Heavenly Dao instantly reignited a small glimmer of hope for the despairing audience around the world!
Indeed!
God of Slaughter is not dead yet!
Before at the Greedy Demon Body challenge, they had already been despairing once, but later God of Slaughter and the Pope brought hope, chased all the way to the Seventh Challenge, for the first time faced Heavenly Demon and others.
This time, God of Slaughter is not dead either!
As long he isn’t dead, everyone still has a sliver of hope!
No matter how faint that hope is like a candle flickering in the wind, a spark can start a prairie fire!
But now, no one can see what’s happening with Huang Yi over there, everyone can only open the leaderboard and observe progress through the Tower of Pantheons.
At this time, in the progress of the Seventh Challenge on the 300th floor of the Tower of Pantheons, the team where Heavenly Demon was located was advancing rapidly, hitting the male BOSS of the Seventh Challenge, whose health points were rapidly decreasing!
The second rank in progress belongs to the God of Slaughter, but that progress bar doesn’t move at all.
Soon, the BOSS’s health points were down to just a sliver; the Heavenly Demon’s team’s progress was about to reach 100% for this level!
They were about to kill the BOSS!
Everyone’s hearts jumped into their throats!
Just then, the second-ranked progress suddenly shot to first place!
The God of Slaughter’s progress suddenly soared to first place!
His progress also displayed a decrease in the BOSS’s health points!
This indicated that Huang Yi attacked the BOSS!
In this situation, he clearly intended to steal the BOSS!
"The God of Slaughter is stealing the BOSS!" Little Rascal exclaimed.
"The Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon won’t give him a chance! The God of Slaughter will likely be killed soon! It’s all about whether he can hold on!" Dante said nervously.
Global viewers clenched their fists, staring at the leaderboard, wishing they could transfer their strength to Huang Yi, so he could snatch the BOSS before being killed by the Heavenly Demon!
At that moment, the Heavenly Demon’s team progress surged to first!
But in the next instant, it was the God of Slaughter in first again.
The two teams’ progress bars alternately climbed fiercely, locked in a tight battle as if they were attacking the BOSS simultaneously!
How could this be possible?
How could the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon allow the God of Slaughter to attack the BOSS?
They would surely eliminate the God of Slaughter first; they wouldn’t give him any chance to attack the BOSS!
Everyone was baffled.
A few seconds later, the Heavenly Demon’s team’s progress suddenly stopped, as if they had abruptly halted their BOSS attack.
Everyone stared blankly as the God of Slaughter’s progress bar held firmly in first, watching as he swiftly eliminated the BOSS’s last sliver of health, eventually receiving a system prompt—
"[System Prompt]: The male Guardian of the Seventh Challenge [Love Emperor · Gu Luan] has been slain by [God of Slaughter]."
In an instant, the whole world fell silent, everyone looking at each other in disbelief!
No one knew what means Huang Yi used to so smoothly snatch the BOSS!
No one knew why the Heavenly Demon’s team suddenly stopped attacking the BOSS at the last moment, as if they just handed the BOSS over!
At this moment, the God of Slaughter’s team firmly held the first spot on the leaderboard!
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Demon’s team fell to 0% progress on the Seventh Challenge BOSS; they needed to defeat the Guardian BOSS set by Huang Yi to continue moving forward!
Huang Yi finally surpassed the Heavenly Demon, being the first to pass through the Seventh Layer of Purgatory [Greed · Lust], earning the qualification to advance towards the summit.
...
At this point, Huang Yi had reverted to his original appearance, dashed out of the pink forest, and sprinted rapidly toward the summit.
After killing the male BOSS of the Seventh Challenge, another "sin" mark on his forehead was eliminated, representing that the Seventh Sin [Greed · Lust] was now removed!
On his forehead, only the last sin remained, which was the Fifth Sin—Greed.
As he advanced, he took out three items dropped by the male BOSS from his storage ring.
One of those items was very familiar, it was the Ascender’s Treasure—Heavenly Pearl!
Including the Heavenly Pearl dropped by the previous female BOSS, he now had two Heavenly Pearls, which could directly elevate him from Level 296 to Level 298.
But he resisted the urge to use them; he had bigger plans for these two Heavenly Pearls.
The second item dropped by the BOSS was also familiar; it was a blue crystal stone, exquisite and noble.
Huang Yi’s storage ring already contained many of these, which were Soul Crystals.
Soul Crystals, also known as Soul Gems, are mysterious items with unknown specific uses.
Huang Yi had previously gathered news in the First World that these items could only fully exert their value in the Underworld. But he had asked many people before, including the Guardian of the Hero Empire, a great figure from the Eternal Ancient Era in the Underworld—Envoy of the Underworld, Yi Mingfeng, but no one knew the exact purpose of the Soul Crystals.
However, these items had high prestige; either obtained by breaking the Tower of Pantheons world record or during a world first kill. Now, that the BOSS of the final layer of the Tower of Pantheons dropped one as well, indicating its high value. But for now, he could only store it in his storage ring.
The last item dropped by the BOSS was a blue crystal heart, continuously beating in his hand—
[Male Heart] (Special Item)
The heart of Love Emperor · Gu Luan. Possessing this heart allows one to ignore the Desire Flame of the Seventh Layer of Purgatory and permanently change the gender within the virtual world. If one could obtain the [Female Heart] of the Seventh Layer of Purgatory, then the two hearts could be fused into a brand new mysterious treasure.
Indeed, this was the Male Heart paired with the previously obtained Female Heart!
This Male Heart had a very peculiar effect; it could permanently change a player’s gender in the virtual world!
This was an unprecedented ability, more rare than a Second Identity or a second name!
However, these were not the reasons Huang Yi valued it most; the heart’s greatest use was in fusion with the Female Heart to become an entirely new mysterious treasure.
