Heroes' Prison

Chapter 826 - 782 Doomsday Heart

Huang Yi extended his hand to receive the Heart of the Doomsday Necklace. The flames instantly spread to his hand, yet they did not harm him.

The necklace felt warm in his hand, as if he were holding a real heart. With anticipation, Huang Yi checked its attributes carefully.

Item Description: Doomsday doesn’t mean the end of the world, but that you are no longer in mine.

This necklace was among the highest tier of Epic Equipment, with several standout attributes even in its basic stats alone.

For instance, Fire Penetration. Penetration is a rather rare attribute, where 1 point of penetration nullifies 1 point of enemy resistance.

If the enemy had 30 points of Fire Resistance, then upon equipping this necklace, Huang Yi could nullify all 30 points, leaving the enemy without any fire resistance and taking significantly higher damage from fire-based skills.

Additionally, the necklace also raised the cap on Fire Resistance. Generally speaking, the resistance cap is 75 points. Huang Yi’s current Fire Resistance was at this value, reducing 75% of incoming fire damage.

Breaking past the cap of 75 points usually required racial talents. For instance, the Half-Beast Race naturally had enhanced resistance to disease and toxins, reaching up to 95 points. After evolving into a Mutated Half-Beastman, Huang Yi’s resistance further capped out at 100 points—this was a benefit solely from racial talents. Rarely would equipment have such effects.

Yet this Heart of the Doomsday was precisely such a piece of equipment, raising the cap of Fire Resistance, pushing Huang Yi’s limit to a staggering 85 points. Against Fire Mages, it was akin to being encased in an impenetrable turtle shell—85% of fire damage would be nullified unless the opponent had extremely high Fire Penetration to counteract his resistance.

Another highlight of its basic attributes was increasing the Rage Cap. No matter how low the initial cap, it could forcibly be raised to 800 points. Since Huang Yi’s Rage Cap was below this value, equipping the necklace immediately boosted it to 800 points. With such an increased Rage Cap, he could store enough Rage to unleash more skills, greatly enhancing his sustained combat capabilities.

In terms of attached skills, the Heart of the Doomsday followed a similar pattern to other Epic Equipment, featuring one active skill and one passive skill.

The active skill transformed him into the Harbinger of Doomsday, granting complete immunity from all fire damage. Although his Fire Resistance could reach an impressive 85 points, capable of nullifying 85% of fire damage, opponents could still use Fire Penetration to circumvent his defenses.

However, upon transforming into the Harbinger of Doomsday, it was a completely different matter—it went beyond resistance to grant outright immunity! No matter how high the opponent’s fire damage or penetration, it would become utterly ineffective.

Moreover, while in the form of the Harbinger of Doomsday, fire-based skill power doubled, and all cooldowns were removed. Currently, Huang Yi possessed only one fire-based skill—World’s End, a skill attached to his boots, Harbinger of Doomsday’s Footprints.

This skill was already an extraordinarily powerful group attack. Under the Harbinger of Doomsday transformation, its power would double further. Without any cooldown, it could be spammed continuously. The devastation it could cause was unimaginable.

As for the passive skill, it reduced energy consumption by 20% while doubling natural energy regeneration rate.

This passive effect could stack. After advancing to a Divine Class, Huang Yi gained a Class Talent called [Energy Halved], which slashed energy consumption for exclusive skills by 50% and doubled natural energy regeneration rate.

Stacking the two effects together, Huang Yi’s energy management burden was substantially alleviated.

Huang Yi immediately removed his previous necklace and replaced it with this new Epic Necklace.

His old necklace was merely Orange Gear, with negligible basic attribute bonuses. He had not replaced it earlier because it was part of the Ancestral Set, which came with a level-boosting effect—each piece could temporarily boost his level by 20, granting a total of 80 levels across four pieces for 10 seconds.

This level-boosting skill had long served as one of Huang Yi’s go-to Ultimate Moves. Yet being Orange Gear, its basic attribute bonuses were far too low. Now, after equipping the Heart of the Doomsday, it was as though he had gained an entirely new piece of equipment, causing his attributes to spike noticeably.

With this, Huang Yi now possessed five pieces of Epic Equipment, surpassing Dao Feng in quantity!

Among the four accessory slots, both the ring and necklace were now Epic Equipment—Sand Thief King’s Dream and Heart of the Doomsday, respectively.

The remaining ring and waist pendant were still pieces from the Ancestral Set, each capable of temporarily boosting his level by 20. From now on, activating the level-boosting Ultimate Move would only grant a temporary 40-level increase.

"God of Slaughter, here’s the second item!" At that moment, the Tidal Calling Siren Princess raised her hand again. A droplet of blazing, fiery liquid flew from the Harbinger of Doomsday’s body and floated before Huang Yi.

Huang Yi inspected it closely and found the liquid exceedingly familiar—it was the same Divine Strength Water that the Harbinger of Doomsday had used earlier, granting temporary Divine Power for an hour.

Its effects were remarkably potent. The Harbinger of Doomsday had consumed a single bottle and immediately raised his main body to the Divine Embryo level.

This demonstrated that when used beyond a certain threshold, its effects could astonishingly restore power.

Huang Yi was eager to try using a bottle himself, as he was currently amidst Reincarnation!

Given its restorative properties, he wondered if consuming one bottle might restore his original strength and shorten the Reincarnation Time!

Unfortunately, only one droplet of Divine Strength Water remained from the Harbinger of Doomsday, and its effect was too limited.

Huang Yi fetched a Magic Bottle, stored the droplet within, and placed it in his storage ring before turning his attention back to the Harbinger of Doomsday’s colossal corpse.

"God of Slaughter, besides those two items, I sense that all of the Harbinger of Doomsday’s essence—his Divine Embryo, his everything—has vanished, leaving only these two scythes. Yet these scythes are sealed, and I can’t perceive what’s locked inside them," the Tidal Calling Siren Princess said, raising her hand again. The two Scythes of Doomsday flew from the Harbinger of Doomsday’s hands, shrinking to a standard size as they floated before Huang Yi.

The scythes still bore a faint layer of flames on their surface. Their sharp design exuded a savage, menacing aura.

These were the weapons of the Harbinger of Doomsday and likely Divine Artifacts, as he had once been a god. The aura they emanated clearly surpassed that of Huang Yi’s Bloodstained War Halberd.

Huang Yi immediately examined the scythes—

[Scythe of Doomsday] (Sealed State)

Seal can be lifted at Level 272.

Looking at the sealed Scythe of Doomsday, Huang Yi frowned in thought, reflecting on prior anomalies.

Killing the Harbinger of Doomsday had failed to trigger a system-wide announcement, which already puzzled him. Moreover, the Scythe of Doomsday was sealed, only to be released at Level 272.

Suddenly, an explanation crossed his mind—perhaps the Harbinger of Doomsday hadn’t truly perished!

The Harbinger of Doomsday had both a Divine Embryo and a main body, essentially two bodies and two souls!

Though his Divine Embryo had died once, it later revived within and merged with his main body.

The Harbinger of Doomsday Huang Yi had just defeated might only have been his main body. Moreover, the essence the Barbarian God absorbed likely belonged only to the main body’s soul, excluding the Divine Embryo’s soul!

If this was the case, the Divine Embryo’s soul might have fled from the main body and sealed itself within the Scythe of Doomsday!

Thus, the Harbinger of Doomsday hadn’t truly been extinguished—this would explain why no system announcement had occurred!

The Scythe of Doomsday might well be a contingency plan by the Harbinger of Doomsday, safeguarding his life along with his Divine Embryo.

Huang Yi even suspected that when he reached the required Level 272 and broke the scythe’s seal, the Divine Embryo’s soul would likely re-emerge, unleashing catastrophic destruction.

The Scythe of Doomsday was like a double-edged sword—it carried immense power but also the potential for disaster.

The Harbinger of Doomsday had truly exemplified a god’s cunning tenacity. Even with his diminished power, he remained incredibly difficult to kill!

But these were concerns for the future. Huang Yi still had a long way to go before reaching Level 272. For now, he stored the Scythe of Doomsday in his storage ring.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Yi gazed across the sea. The horizon was already tinged with the pale light of dawn. The tsunami subsided, and a gentle sea breeze stirred. The long night was finally over.

This night had been packed with incidents. Huang Yi had dismantled his enemy’s schemes, taken over the cities of the Heavenly Medicine Guild, and obtained a Berserk Curse Potion, ultimately defeating the Harbinger of Doomsday and the Deep Sea Demon Flesh—two fearsome adversaries.

In just one night, he had achieved resounding success!

"Let’s move! Full speed ahead to the Central Continent!" Huang Yi sent a message to his crew before returning to the Cloud Sail Battleship alongside Little Dragon and the Barbarian God.

The Cloud Sail Battleship resumed its voyage, slicing through the darkness before dawn under the glow of the Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s Water Pearl, racing swiftly toward the Central Continent’s direction.
