Heroes' Prison

Chapter 697 - 668: Can We Not Break Up?

After speaking, Thunder God came to Huang Yi’s side and walked forward with him. A group of people followed behind them, all looking at him with concern.

Huang Yi pondered for a moment and said with some gravity, "I guess only after I reach the Second Transformation and use all my methods will I be able to deal with a Level 195 Guardian. With my current First Transformation strength, dealing with a Level 175 Guardian is already at my limit. Facing a Level 185 Guardian, I can only flee, and against a Level 195 Guardian, I wouldn’t even stand a chance to escape."

"Can you teleport to the Class Transfer Secret Realm under the Heavenly Curtain Barrier of Northern Sea City?" Thunder God frowned and asked.

"Yes, I can!" At this moment, Qing Muyan nodded and said, "The Heavenly Curtain Barrier of Northern Sea City doesn’t allow people to leave Northern Sea City, but places like the Warrior Hall, the Skill Secret Realm, and the Tower of Pantheons are system functions and are not included. Moreover, entering these places is only temporary. When you come out, you’ll still be in Northern Sea City."

Thunder God’s brows immediately relaxed as he said, "That’s more like it! Once Ah-Yi completes the Second Transformation, he will be the first person in the world to do so, and that will earn us some National Honor Points. During a critical time like the national war, every point of National Honor Points becomes extremely important!"

"Then wouldn’t it be safer for Ah-Yi to log on after the annual festival? That way, if something happens to you in these next few days, it wouldn’t affect the annual festival," suggested Little Hegemon of the Prison, Wang Jin, at that moment.

"That’s impossible!" Huang Yi shook his head with a smile, "The way I declared war doesn’t allow me to occupy land on the Land of Dongying or maintain a state of war. If I spend less than 12 hours a day on the Land of Dongying, the system will judge my side to be at a disadvantage. I have to log on every day, fight for at least 12 hours, and try to create favorable conditions for the system’s judgment, so I can get a higher rating when the system makes its comprehensive judgment."

Saying this, Huang Yi paused before continuing, "Moreover, I need to rescue Qin Shiyu out of the city while there are still no Level 195 Guardians. As long as she’s in Northern Sea City, I can’t be at ease."

"Right, Ah-Yi, congratulations on your wedding! Last night’s ceremony was so beautiful; the sky was full of pink stars," Thunder God suddenly laughed and offered his congratulations to Huang Yi.

"Yeah! Brother Yi, congratulations on your wedding. I wish you and Sister Qin Shiyu a lifetime of happiness together."

"Brother Yi, you’re so lucky. When can I find a girlfriend too!"

...

A chorus of congratulatory voices arose from the crowd, and the atmosphere became slightly festive. For many years, Rose Prison hadn’t seen a wedding take place within its walls. Such romantic and beautiful things were supposed to be enjoyed in the outside world, not in the gloomy confines of a prison.

"It’s just a pity that all of this is virtual, and I can’t see her face-to-face," Huang Yi’s expression darkened, feeling a tinge of loss in his heart.

Perhaps, the farthest distance in the world is when two people love each other but can only meet in a virtual world, unable to truly see each other. Every hug, every message, is just a string of cold data with no warmth whatsoever.

Huang Yi desperately wanted to see Qin Shiyu, to hold her hand, cook and wash dishes together, watch the same TV shows, and to see the curve of her smile each time. To do everything an average couple does, the most common and simple things.

It’s a pity that even these little things are nothing more than extravagant hopes.

It wasn’t just him; many inmates in Rose Prison felt the same way. Many already had wives and children outside, yet they were forever separated from them.

Leaving Rose Prison was everyone’s greatest struggle!

"By the way, didn’t Ni Dongde say he was going to convince Ace of Hearts - Zhang Yujian to turn himself in? What’s happening with that now?" Suddenly, Huang Yi asked.

Not long ago, he had a brief encounter with Ni Dongde in a small alley in Dragon City. At that time, Ni pledged to bring Ace of Hearts - Zhang Yujian from the Poker Card Warrant into Rose Prison and negotiate with them to overthrow the World Federation.

"Ace of Hearts - Zhang Yujian is still undergoing the Judgment process; it will be a while before he can get in," Thunder God said gravely, "The World Federation is getting more brutal. The nations they rule are like prisons, and many who dare to resist get assassinated, leading people to suppress their anger in silence. Ni Dongde’s arrival is a significant opportunity for us. We can use our advantages in The Second World to help him resist the World Federation in the real world. Ni Dongde is like a sharp knife; as long as he is active, the World Federation cannot rest easy. His is a genuine rebellion with armed forces at his disposal. If he raises an insurrection, it can serve as an example to others. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and he could be the one to ignite that spark."

"Let’s hope we can succeed this time!" Wang Jin bit his lip, full of anticipation, "Every day I think of my wife, her cooking, her gentleness. Since my incarceration, I’ve lost contact with her, and I can’t find her in The Second World. I don’t know where she is now, whether she is still alive, or if she has found another man." As he spoke, Wang Jin suddenly clenched his teeth in anger, "Damn the World Federation, ruining my happiness! Otherwise, right now I might be teaching my daughter to call me ’dad’."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. They all had ties in the real world that were forcefully severed by being locked away, now gone forever.

"Complaining is useless, face reality! At least now we have hope for resistance," Thunder God patted Wang Jin’s shoulder, speaking with a hope-filled tone.

But hidden deep within his hopeful gaze was a trace of hidden sorrow. His life was dwindling, with only a few days left, as his execution loomed closer.

...

After breakfast, Huang Yi did some exercises and then put on the Golden Ring to enter the forum to check out the hot posts of the new day.

"God of Slaughter declares war on the Land of Dongying, unmatched by anyone. In one night, over a million members of the Martial Arts Guild were slain, including Miyamoto Musashi and Zhitian Shi!"

"In a crucial moment, the God of Slaughter knelt down to propose, rescuing Qin Shiyu! The God of Love descended to officiate the wedding, capturing worldwide attention."

"God of Slaughter’s Contract Partner breaks through at a critical moment, aiding in the killing of Northern Sea City’s Level 175 Guardian!"

"Affected by the God of Slaughter’s declaration of war, Hero Guild’s stock price drops nearly 20%, and Martial Arts Guild’s stock price plummets by 46%!"

"Storm clouds gather for a world war, with leaders like the Pope, the Ganges, the Giant Bear, and the Pharaoh all making significant moves."

"Three minutes after the God of Slaughter reached Level 150, Yang Yuheng also reached Level 150, and set a new world record by being the first to clear the 140th floor of the Tower of Pantheons!"

...

Last night’s declaration of war caught the attention of the entire world, and today’s hot forum posts were mostly reports on these matters, overshadowing all other news.

The confrontation between Huang Yi and Miyamoto Musashi subtly signaled the beginning of a world war. The leader of the players in the Russian Continent, the Giant Bear, has already eradicated the branch of the Martial Arts Guild in Russian Continent, sparking a very serious conflict. The powers between other countries also had their own disputes, and they were all about to erupt.

Following that, Huang Yi immediately entered The Second World and started a new day of slaughter.

Upon logging in, his physical body appeared in a corner of Northern Sea City. Meanwhile, his incarnation was still in a state of death; the incarnation could only be resurrected once a day, and after midnight last night, the resurrection chance had been used up and had to wait until tomorrow to revive.

At that moment, Huang Yi was still enveloped in a striking red, blood-drip-shaped War Aura, visible from a great distance. This couldn’t be hidden, even if he changed into Big Baddie’s identity.

"Darling, can we please not break up?" Just then, Huang Yi suddenly heard a boy’s voice nearby.

He turned to look and saw that not far away, a boy was pleadingly looking at a girl, seemingly having done something wrong. They hadn’t noticed Huang Yi’s appearance.

"It was you who said you wanted to break up! Humph!" The girl pouted, twisting her little garment with her hands and turning her head away, huffily speaking.

"Then what can I do to make you forgive me? I was hot-headed and blurted out the breakup. I spent all of yesterday trying to stop myself from thinking about you, but I couldn’t do it," the boy said in a low, apologetic tone.

"I’ll forgive you, but only if you can get the God of Slaughter to beg for your forgiveness!" The girl continued to pout, giving the boy no chance and issuing an impossible task.

"Excuse me, Miss, would you mind forgiving this young man? I am asking on his behalf," a kind voice suddenly rang in the air at that moment.

The boy and the girl were both startled before they turned their heads to look towards the source of the voice.

Upon seeing him, they were instantly stunned. The person before them was holding a War Halberd and was surrounded by a War Aura. His face was all too familiar—it was none other than the God of Slaughter who had terrorized the people of Northern Sea City the previous night!

Huang Yi took a couple of steps towards them, looked at the girl with an astonished face, and said with a slight smile, "Young people can be temperamental, and say things in the heat of the moment. A relationship is not easy to come by; if you can stay together, do stay. Didn’t you say that you’d forgive him if I asked on his behalf? Now that I have, will you forgive him?"

The boy and the girl stood there, transfixed, staring at Huang Yi motionlessly, their minds blank, unable to respond.

"Aren’t you the God of Slaughter?" The boy finally snapped back to reality, swiftly stepping to the side to protect the girl, and stammered, "Aren’t you the type who kills on sight? Why, why would you lower yourself to ask for forgiveness on my behalf? This... this doesn’t seem to fit your persona."

"Fate is more important than persona," Huang Yi replied, then patted the boy on the shoulder, and turned to leave without any intention to harm them. (To be continued.
