Heroes' Prison

Chapter 777 - 741: The Identity of the Harbinger of Doomsday

"Harbinger of Doomsday!" The White Dragon King murmured this name, his expression momentarily betraying a trace of unease. He said, "This isn’t someone I like to talk about. Every time I say his name, I feel a sense of dread."

With that, the White Dragon King glanced at Huang Yi and continued, "But since you asked, I’ll tell you everything our White Dragon Clan knows about him! The Harbinger of Doomsday isn’t from this world. He comes from the world of Alz, a remarkably powerful world ranked among the top ten across all dimensions. It’s not far behind our own world in strength..."

Amid the dense reeds, the White Dragon King sat on a small boat, fishing leisurely while recounting the information about the Harbinger of Doomsday to Huang Yi.

"... After being repelled by the Ancestor of White Dragons, the Harbinger of Doomsday returned to the world of Alz to recuperate, further strengthening his power. The last piece of information we have about him is that he reached Demigod status and then ventured to the world of Auroyass." Finally, the White Dragon King revealed all he knew about the Harbinger of Doomsday to Huang Yi.

"A Demigod? He’s a Demigod now?" Huang Yi exclaimed in surprise.

So far, he had encountered three power levels of the Harbinger of Doomsday: a Level 172 Holy Domain Harbinger, a Level 272 Heavenly Domain Harbinger, and now he learned from the White Dragon King about a Demigod-level Harbinger!

The Harbinger seemed like an ever-changing figure, with at least three distinct tiers of power!

"Yes! That’s the last information we have about him. If you want to know more, you’ll likely need to seek out people from the world of Auroyass," the White Dragon King nodded.

"People from the world of Auroyass..." As Huang Yi heard this, a particular person suddenly came to mind—Lu Ye.

A while ago, when he took Little Dragon to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range searching for the Dragon Tomb, he discovered a cottage on one of the mountains. It was inhabited by Lu Ye and his two apprentices.

Lu Ye hailed from the world of Auroyass and was a skilled Heavenly Domain expert who had dedicated his life to studying alchemy technology. Later, Huang Yi designated the area as his sub-territory, releasing some criminals skilled in pharmaceutical manufacturing, alchemy, and poisons to collaborate and contribute to the Hero Guild’s welfare.

Now, he could visit Lu Ye and inquire whether he had any insights into the Harbinger of Doomsday.

"White Dragon King, thank you! I’ll leave immediately to ask my friends from the world of Auroyass for more information." Huang Yi said, standing up as he leaped off the small boat, ready to depart.

"God of Slaughter!" At this moment, the White Dragon King suddenly called out to him, his voice tinged with anticipation. "Do you remember what we discussed about forming a subsidiary race for the White Dragon Clan?"

"Of course, I remember!" Huang Yi turned back to glance at the White Dragon King, smiling, "Rest assured! Once I break through to the Heavenly Domain level, pass the Hero Trial, and achieve a certain strength, I will settle the matter with the Half-Beast Race. I’ll annihilate them, seize their Heart of the Race, and establish a subsidiary race for the White Dragon Clan, making it one of the top hundred Common Races."

The White Dragon King nodded emphatically, unable to contain his excitement. "Excellent! I’ve been waiting for that day to come. Just imagining it fills me with exhilaration. Our White Dragon Clan is finally poised, in my generation, to achieve a glorious future! My name will forever be etched in the White Dragon Clan’s history, celebrated by generations to come..."

Huang Yi spared the White Dragon King one last look, smiled faintly, and then turned to leave.

...

Next, Huang Yi teleported to the sub-territory where Lu Ye resided in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.

Compared to his initial arrival, the area had transformed significantly. It had once consisted of only a lone cottage, but now it evolved into a burgeoning town with numerous buildings!

The Hero Guild allocated personnel and resources to establish a research base here. The facilities were state-of-the-art for Lu Ye and his fervent researchers to conduct experiments.

Additionally, the Hero Guild relocated its Life Class base to this area. Many players specializing in Life Skills gathered here for exchange, with the chance to obtain guidance from Lu Ye and other pioneers. This location had become the Hero Guild’s technological hub.

However, the base still paled in comparison to the legendary laboratories of the Ancient Goblins.

The Ancient Goblins were renowned in the history of the Second World as the foremost technological race. Whether in alchemy, pharmaceutical manufacturing, airship design, or shipbuilding, they were unrivaled. Unfortunately, their civilization was lost to the tides of history, leaving behind only the tales of their unparalleled technological marvels.

One such marvel was the Hero Guild’s Oceanic Airship, originally invented by the Ancient Goblin Divine Craftsman—a God-made Artisan named Hand of Sky.

Huang Yi had also learned that Miyamoto Musashi’s ability to consistently produce various S-tier potions stemmed from his acquisition of one of the most critical alchemy laboratories created by the Ancient Goblins.

After considerable effort, Huang Yi finally located Lu Ye engaged in experiments within an alchemy lab.

At the time, Lu Ye was wearing white gloves and holding a flask containing a pale green liquid, which was being distilled in an apparatus. His focus was so intense that he remained oblivious to Huang Yi’s arrival.

An entire half-hour passed before Lu Ye completed a phase of his experiment and took a short break. Only then did he notice Huang Yi’s presence.

"Why are you here?" Lu Ye removed his gloves and approached Huang Yi, asking.

"I’m here to gather some information." Huang Yi immediately asked, "Do you know anything about a powerful figure known as the Harbinger of Doomsday?"

"Harbinger of Doomsday!" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, nodding, "I know of this God Sealer!"

"God Sealer?!" Huang Yi froze in astonishment after hearing this.

Just moments ago, he had been shocked to learn from the White Dragon King that the Harbinger of Doomsday was a Demigod. Now Lu Ye was saying that he was a God Sealer!

That meant the Harbinger of Doomsday possessed four distinct tiers of power—Holy Domain, Heavenly Domain, Demigod, and Deity!

"Indeed! The Harbinger of Doomsday has deep ties to our world of Auroyass." Lu Ye nodded, his gaze distant as he recalled, "A long time ago, in the annals of history, our world of Auroyass once gave rise to a God Sealer. But during the moment of divine enthronement, he was ambushed and killed by the Harbinger of Doomsday from the world of Alz, who seized his Divinity! That’s why the Harbinger of Doomsday is considered a common enemy in our world..."

Huang Yi went on to gather extensive information about the Harbinger of Doomsday from Lu Ye. Combining this with the details he had read in the Book of Heroes and learned from the White Dragon King, he gradually pieced together the Harbinger’s overarching history.

It seemed that after emerging from the world of Alz, the Harbinger of Doomsday first came to this world, battled the Ancestor of White Dragons, and was crippled in the fight, forcing him to flee back to Alz.

Subsequently, he recuperated and advanced his power to the Demigod level before venturing to the world of Auroyass, where he assassinated a strong contender during their divine enthronement, stealing their Divinity. Utilizing that Divinity, he successfully achieved Deity status.

Later, he likely incurred the wrath of the Death God’s Temple, resulting in his imprisonment in Heroes’ Prison! However, for reasons yet unknown, his Divine Embryo is now at Level 272, and his true body at Level 172.

One thing was certain: The Harbinger of Doomsday was a dangerous entity that required careful vigilance! He was once a Deity, a being of unfathomable strength. Huang Yi had never before released a criminal at such an elevated level!

Moreover, Huang Yi doubted whether the Contract Stone could truly bind the Harbinger of Doomsday. If the latter possessed a Divine Object like the Pact of Water that could cancel the contract, this formidable individual would become uncontrollable!

This realization reinforced Huang Yi’s decision to never release the Harbinger’s true body. As long as it remained securely confined within Heroes’ Prison, the Harbinger would remain wary of Huang Yi, even if he were to escape Huang Yi’s control.

Still, if handled correctly, the Harbinger of Doomsday might offer insights into the path toward Divine Enthronement.

Huang Yi resolved to speak directly with the Harbinger once more to see if he could extract further clues.

He promptly returned to Dragon City and summoned the Harbinger of Doomsday.

At this moment, the Harbinger appeared unchanged, showing no visible abnormalities.

Upon seeing Huang Yi, the fire in the Harbinger’s eyes burned fiercely. He said, "You’ve summoned me now because you’re worried about your nation’s safety, aren’t you? Don’t fret. Even if a top-level Heavenly Domain expert arrives, I can ward them off!"

"What about a Demigod?" Huang Yi asked calmly, scrutinizing the Harbinger’s eyes for any reaction.

"If you release my true body, I can deal with a Demigod," the Harbinger replied with an air of confidence. "For the sake of your territory’s safety, you should release my true body immediately!"

"If your true body is released, how do you intend to repel a Demigod?" Huang Yi continued probing.

The Harbinger emanated the presence of a powerful entity, raising his head to survey the heavens. He declared, "My true body can merge with my Divine Embryo, reaching the Demigod level. At that point, defeating a high-level Heavenly Domain enemy would be a trivial matter for me, requiring no prolonged battle at all."

Huang Yi nodded slightly. "What if a Deity appears? Can you fend off a God?"

"Haha!" The Harbinger suddenly burst into laughter. "Gods cannot exist in these mortal worlds. They are confined to the Heaven Realm, unable to wield Divine Power in the Mortal World. You don’t need to worry about a God attacking your territory. Thus, among mortals, the Demigod level is the strongest tier. Once I achieve that level, your territory will be impervious to any threats. Release my true body now!"

"Not yet. When the time truly comes, we’ll consider it!" Huang Yi shook his head, deflecting the topic. Then he asked, "By the way, what exactly is a Divine Embryo?"

The next Chapter will be released soon, though recent updates have been quite late. I’ll aim to publish earlier. (To be continued.
