Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1078 - 1022: The Artifact Skill of Wrath of the Godslayer!
While this national conflict was still ongoing, probably no one expected that in such a short time, a demigod would fall, slain by Huang Yi right in front of the global audience!
The Demon Clan not only failed to destroy the Hero Empire, but also lost an important figure. Even for the powerful Demon Clan, the number of demigods is scarce, with each being a regional overlord, second only to The Seven Archdemons.
At this moment, from the body of the Death Knight, sudden red light rose and surged towards Huang Yi’s Wrath of the Godslayer.
This red light emitted an unsettling aura, far stronger than any type of strength, and its color shared the same origin with the Red Star in the starry sky, precisely the divine power aura of the Death Knight.
Demigod experts are called Divine Domain experts because they can begin to condense divine power, the ultimate strength. When all the energy in their body transforms into divine power, they become top-level Divine Domain experts, vividly called "Void God", with the strength to challenge Divine Enthronement.
Huang Yi’s Divine Instrument Embryo — Wrath of the Godslayer, is in its growth stage, requiring a large amount of growth energy, such as Epic or higher-level equipment, broken divinity, and so on, with divine power being the best supplement among them.
Once these divine powers from the Death Knight were absorbed into Wrath of the Godslayer, its color gradually turned red, seeming to be scorching hot, with wisps of red divine power aura steaming out, seen from afar, resembling the solar corona.
Now this Divine Instrument Embryo increasingly exhibits genuine divine artifact dignity; just its appearance invokes a sky-rending power, a weapon unattainable in the Mortal World!
"[System Prompt]:Your Divine Instrument Embryo [Wrath of the Godslayer] has absorbed the divine power of Death Knight - Xie Xi, completing a metamorphosis into a third-grade Divine Instrument Embryo and birthing its first artifact skill. Since this divine artifact is named after you, you need to personally decide on the artifact skill. The system will offer some types of artifact skills for you to choose, and will finally customize the first skill of Wrath of the Godslayer based on your characteristics. As your skill slots are full, you must first sacrifice a skill to obtain the artifact skill."
Huang Yi felt joyful inside. His Divine Instrument Embryo was cultivated from the start, previously absorbing the Bloodstained War Halberd and Scythe of Doomsday to ascend to a second-grade Divine Instrument Embryo, but no artifact skills had emerged all along, its power was slightly inferior to Dao Feng, Dragon Spike, Sharp Sword’s broken divine artifacts, not to mention compared to Heavenly Dao Sky-Splitting Spear, a Sub-Divine Artifact, let alone Thunder God’s finished divine artifact, Pillar of Sea God, which had vast differences.
The strongest aspect of a divine artifact lies in its special capabilities, primarily manifested in artifact skills. When Thunder God’s finished divine artifact skill is unleashed, even the clone of the Queen of Agony can be trapped! Without that artifact skill, Huang Yi and his companions wouldn’t have been able to kill the clone of the Queen of Agony then!
Now, Huang Yi’s Divine Instrument Embryo is finally about to birth its first skill!
Moreover, compared to others’ divine artifacts, Huang Yi’s divine artifact has a congenital advantage, it is named after him and not inherited from elsewhere. Others’ artifact skills are predetermined, but his artifact skill can be customized to his liking, with endless possibilities.
Huang Yi hurriedly sacrificed a common skill, freeing a skill slot.
"Please select the first type — Attack, Healing, Defense." At this point, the system prompt began to allow him to choose the artifact skill’s direction.
"Attack!" Huang Yi made the choice without hesitation; he is an attack-type vocation, naturally, the artifact skill should choose this direction, to maximize synergy with him.
"You have chosen an attack-type artifact skill, please continue to choose one from below: Focus on Attack Power, Focus on Attack Range, Focus on Attack Effect."
"Focus on Attack Power!" Huang Yi continued selecting the violent attack direction.
"You have chosen an attack-type, with focus on attack power artifact skill, please continue to choose one from below: Head-on Battle, Pursuit, Assassination, Death-defying Counterattack."
Huang Yi thought for a moment and finally chose Head-on Battle.
"You have chosen an attack-type, with focus on attack power, head-on battle artifact skill, please continue to choose one from below: Consume Rage Value, Consume Power of the Nefalem, Consume Energy Value, Consume Prestige Points. Different consumption types make the skill’s effect, power, presentation method, and execution method different, please choose carefully."
Huang Yi slightly stunned; this artifact skill could even freely choose the consumption type!
Among the four options, the easiest one is to consume Rage Value; as long as it is a warrior-type profession, it basically has Rage Value, just like a mage’s Magic Value, without acquisition difficulty. But skills consuming Rage Value generally don’t have high power; only those learned after advancing to Divine Class such as Kill Without Mercy, Execution of Nine Clans, Instant Decision, Cleanse the Royals are considered high-power skills consuming Rage Value.
Skills consuming Power of the Nefalem are directly opposite, exceptionally powerful, often drastically altering the battle situation upon use. Whether it’s Huang Yi’s Nefalem Skill, or his sister Xiao Chunzi’s Nefalem Skill, they are of this type. However, Power of the Nefalem is too precious and difficult to obtain, directly restricting the Nefalem Skill’s usage frequency, only being used at critical moments.
The third option is Energy Value, this is the standard configuration for top-level skills in the public eye, Exclusive Skills of Rare Classes also consume Energy Value, such as Huang Yi’s Judgment, drawing the enemy into the air for a never-ending fight. In addition, ordinary players’ Class Ultimate Move also consumes Energy Value. That’s why Energy Stone became a strategic-level consumable. In the past, Huang Yi also frequently lacked Energy Value, but now he no longer lacks Energy Stone, as Hero Guild has an Energy Stone manufacturing plant, capable of producing Energy Stone continuously.
The last option is the most novel to Huang Yi, unexpectedly consuming Prestige Points; this is unprecedented skill consumption!
Prestige Points represent a player’s popularity; players with high Prestige Points are public figures, generally globally renowned players, equivalent to celebrities, able to command a response.
However, the usage of Prestige Points is vague, generally used to meet certain conditions of actions, such as initiating national conflict.
Ordinary players cannot actively initiate war against other countries. Only when Prestige Points reach certain conditions, having some notoriety, can they somewhat represent their own country’s players, thereby qualifying to declare war on other countries.
Huang Yi’s Prestige Points rank first worldwide, but this value doesn’t have much utility for him, similar to Achievement Points.
Achievement Points also serve little purpose, mainly used to purchase quirky items from Traveling Merchant. Throughout his time in The Second World, Huang Yi only encountered Achievement Point Merchant once, during his first meeting with Qin Shiyu in Dragon City at the Desolate Sands.
At that time, he purchased several odd items from the Traveling Merchant using Achievement Points, the best being the Medicine Bottle, which daily breeds a random potion.
But such Traveling Merchants are too rare, many players never encounter one in their lifetime, rendering Achievement Points useless.
Prestige Points are similar, typically unused. To date, Huang Yi only obtained one way to consume Prestige Points: after becoming World Guardian, Prestige Points can be consumed to set certain players or factions in The Second World as "World’s Enemy". Just now, he used this ability to set Miyamoto Musashi and T.N.T as World’s Enemy.
Now, another opportunity to consume Prestige Points was placed before Huang Yi!
"Consume Prestige Points!" Huang Yi chose this option out of curiosity.
Skills consuming Prestige Points will definitely differ entirely from any skills seen before!
"You have chosen an attack-type, with focus on attack power, head-on battle, consuming Prestige Points artifact skill, combined with your characteristics, the first artifact skill for Wrath of the Godslayer has been custom-created—[Call of the Godslayer]: With the wrath of the Godslayer, raise an arm and call, responders gathering like clouds! Using this skill allows borrowing Killing Intent from other players, regardless of their location in The Second World, as long as they raise both hands, they can transcend infinite distances to lend Killing Intent to you. After casting Wrath of the Godslayer, the borrowed Killing Intent can be shot towards the enemy, causing horrific damage! The more players responding to your call, the stronger and more powerful the shot Killing Intent becomes. Each usage of this skill requires a certain amount of Prestige Points, the more responders, the more Prestige Points consumed."
Finally, the first artifact skill for Wrath of the Godslayer has been birthed!
This skill requires consuming Prestige Points to activate, indeed entirely different from any of his previous skill types. From the skill name, to execution method, presentation method, there’s a total departure from previous skills.
The power of this skill is uncontrollable, lying in the hands of other players.
For Huang Yi to unleash this skill, he must rely on the cooperation of other players, temporarily borrowing Killing Intent from them.
If no one responds to Huang Yi, then this skill is useless, has no value.
But if many respond to Huang Yi, the skill becomes extremely fearsome, amalgamating the Killing Intent of thousands, severe enough to inflict nightmarish damage on the enemy.
Prestige-wise, Huang Yi is undoubtably formidable; every global player knows him, with countless fans bound to respond.
Moreover, under his command, there are countless players, whether in Hero Guild, Hero Empire, or Heroism Religion, all are major factions. If he calls upon them, he will surely receive a response.
