Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1312 - 1247: Unity Declaration
This is the heaviest announcement in the history of The Second World.
Every continent, every ocean, every island, every person, heard this judgment of death in the darkness.
Every living being inexplicably felt an invisible sense of suffocation, as if they were about to suffocate in a sealed dark space.
It is now daytime, but what lies before everyone is darker than night; no matter how they shout and search, they can no longer find a trace of sunlight.
The sunlight, starlight, moonlight they were used to seeing every day... these seemingly eternal things are no longer visible.
The audiences who were watching the live broadcast could only see a screen full of darkness, as if the live broadcast had malfunctioned and led to a blackout.
The only light in the world was the glow of the players’ skills and items. But these lights, compared to the light of the celestial bodies, were so dim that they could only illuminate a small area.
Huang Yi turned back and looked at the Wings of the Sun Chaser behind him. The wings have already failed and can no longer absorb any celestial glow.
The dean solemnly held the pocket watch in his hand, the hands on the watch had stopped moving, unable to control the Divine Artifact outside The Second World.
Countless people looked up at the black sky. From now on, they can never leave this world to travel the vast universe until they are refined into dross.
The whole world is in chaos; beasts weep, birds fall. In cities and villages, everywhere on the streets and alleys there are crowds shouting in uproar, order is in chaos, society and civilization on the brink of collapse.
At this moment, a group of imposing figures emitting red light descend from the sky, a storm of aura emanating from them, precisely the dozens of Guardians from the Hero Empire’s Divine Domain. But at this moment, they all hang their heads despondently, silently.
As one of the oldest False God Guardians, Wandering Divine Envoy Clare showed a heavy expression, coming before Huang Yi, regretting: "God of Slaughter, we tried our best, but the Demon Clan’s power is too strong. Not only do they vastly outnumber us, but their strength far exceeds ours, having thirty-six Void Gods, not to mention the few Demon Kings have used their strongest avatars, far incomparable to the weak avatars before. And those four Space Envoys, their space abilities are unfathomable, with Mortal Realm’s means, it’s hard to resist. Moreover, we are not figures who have grown in The Second World long term. Even Emperor Somrett, these criminals from The Second World, have lost their Second World aura in long terms of imprisonment, difficult to exert stronger power."
At this moment, the dean also turned to stare at Huang Yi, saying: "God of Slaughter, you cannot rely on these criminals anymore. Though they are indeed powerful, the severity of this calamity far exceeds any in history, even releasing more criminals would be to no avail. Moreover, you seem to have already released all the criminals that can be released; even if you can release the closer ones, perhaps they are already truly Deities, unable to sign a contract with you, Deities cannot be signed into contracts, nor can they exist in the Mortal Realm. This time, we must rely on you Heaven-Sent Men. Please give your all to devise countermeasures. The Second World is now undergoing refinement, sentient beings will gradually die. With every second you delay, countless beings are refined. Ultimately, The Second World will be removed from the universe; everything that happened in this world will become history, and can only be viewed from other worlds."
Speaking to the end, the dean’s gaze swept past Thunder God, Heavenly Dao, the Pope, Pharaoh, Kid, finally scanning the countless players below Moonlight City.
His words were not only directed at Huang Yi, but also to every player.
This calamity, the NPC side cannot provide assistance anymore, can only rely on the players to tackle it. With the dean representing the NPCs, like aging parents, who can no longer protect these children, next, it’s up to these player children to face it themselves.
Huang Yi heavily nodded, then once again used his World’s Guardian privilege, issuing a declaration to the entire dark Second World—
"All compatriots, all people suffering in The Second World, no matter your race or power, please lay down past grievances, unite and face this calamity together. The Second World is dying, everything we fought hard for, all the beautiful memories left behind here, will soon be destroyed. I believe this End of the World cannot be a complete dead end; every crisis always has a way to solve, we just haven’t thought about it, haven’t tried. In this survival moment, please do not despair, do not panic, stabilize societal order, help each other. As the World’s Guardian, I, God of Slaughter, in the name of King of the Hero Empire, declare that from this moment, all facilities of the Hero Empire are for public use, any player can use all the resources of the Hero Empire for free, collectively facing this calamity."
Huang Yi’s solemn and steady voice resonated through the chaotic Second World.
Hearing this steady voice, those panicked and helpless people were invisibly infected, finding solace for their hearts.
It seems as long as this voice exists, they haven’t truly failed; there is still a chance for turnaround.
At this moment, people from countries around the world reached an unprecedented unanimous feeling, they have a united goal, everyone’s interests are unified!
In face of this collective interest, everyone’s personal gains are so trivial, even Huang Yi shares the richest resources and facilities of the Hero Empire, what does their petty interests matter?
Then, Pharaoh pursed his lips, emotionally said: "I, Pharaoh, in the capacity of the Desert Guild President, declare that from this moment, the Desert Guild merges into the Hero Empire, collectively facing this world-ending calamity!"
Kid also nodded: "I, Kid, in the capacity of the King of the Freedom Empire, declare that from this moment, the Freedom Empire merges into the Hero Empire, jointly combating the Demon Clan refinement!"
The Pope solemnly said: "I, the Pope, in the capacity of the Heaven’s Guild President, declare that from this moment, Heaven’s Guild merges into the Hero Empire, collectively guarding The Second World!"
Next, leaders of various powers, large and small, issued declarations in succession—
"I, Slohot, in the capacity of Alliance Hierarch of the Mexican Guild Alliance, announce that from this moment, all members of the Mexico Alliance merge into the Hero Empire, advancing and retreating with God of Slaughter!"
"I, Xue Feng, in the capacity of King of Canada Snow Country, announce that from this moment, Snow Country merges into the Hero Empire, collectively saving The Second World!"
"I, Dennosk, in the capacity of King of the Australian Federal Empire, announce that from this moment, the Australian Federal Empire merges into the Hero Empire, fighting for The Second World’s freedom!"
"I, Arthur Artolia, in the capacity of Queen of the English Empire, announce that from this moment, the English Empire merges into the Hero Empire, collectively defending The Second World!"
...
A series of solemn voices, transmitted through journalist’s live broadcast, entering the ears of billions of audiences worldwide.
Soon, countries all over the world, various powers large and small, from giants with millions of members to small groups of hundreds or even dozens, automatically joined the Hero Empire. Fragmented forces scattered globally were quickly integrated, almost instantly unifying the whole world under the Hero Empire.
This day became an important day in later history, the declaration Huang Yi issued to the whole world was later called — "Unity Declaration."
