Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1354 - 1288: The Origin of the King of Greed

The King of Greed is one of The Seven Archdemons. Previously, during the invasion of The Second World, everyone in the world saw his humanoid form. Now, the Guardian of this Fifth Level looks exactly the same as the King of Greed!

Why would the King of Greed appear in Purgatory?

Could this be one of his avatars?

Hearing the exclamations of the crowd, the Guardian of the Fifth Level smiled slightly, squinting his eyes, and said slowly, "The King of Greed... that was my identity a long, long time ago!"

"No, that’s not right! He is not the King of Greed! My Hunter Class investigation shows his name is [Greedy Demon Body·Jun Heng]!" Fuchan Fenrao suddenly said.

"Greedy Demon Body..." Abigail was stunned for a moment, as if she remembered something, and her face changed. "Could it be, it’s the legendary 100th Starry Behemoth?"

"The 100th Starry Behemoth? What does that mean?" Thunder God asked in confusion, and the others also turned to look at Abigail.

Abigail stared hard at the Guardian of the Fifth Level, solemnly saying, "Not long ago, a juvenile Starry Behemoth was born on our continent. I led hundreds of experts to encircle and slay it. We finally captured it and obtained information about its Race from its bloodline inheritance. Starry Behemoths are a rare, powerful existence in the universe. At the start of Creation, 99 Starry Behemoths were birthed into the universe and have always maintained this number. They wander alone, devouring all Energy in the universe. After death, a newborn Starry Behemoth would appear from its corpse, perpetuating this inheritance, maintaining a number of 99. But in the Eternal Ancient Era, an anomaly occurred."

Abigail paused, then continued, "During the Eternal Era, a Starry Behemoth mutated. It did not die but instead lived on, becoming one of the renowned The Seven Archdemons—the King of Greed. It did not die and logically should not produce a new individual. However, it violated the Race’s rules and produced a new Starry Behemoth. From then on, the number of Starry Behemoths in the universe became 100. But this new Starry Behemoth had a congenital defect; it lacked a heart and its Strength was greatly affected. Because it was intricately linked with the King of Greed, it was called the ’Greedy Demon Body.’ Later, it vanished without a trace, unsuspectedly guarding Purgatory!"

"I must say, you are well-versed in my background!" The Greedy Demon Body laughed and then shook his head. "However, you made one mistake. I did not have a heart before, but just now, I have a heart! I have become a complete Starry Behemoth!"

"What? You’ve acquired the Greed Heart?! Then you might now be a Mortal God!" Abigail exclaimed in shock!

He turned to look at everyone, solemnly saying, "The true power of the King of Greed lies in his heart, known as the Greed Heart, which can automatically absorb all forms of Energy, transforming it into Divine Power. There are three in total! Even an ordinary person with no Combat power, if they obtain one Greed Heart, can easily advance to the level of a Divine Domain. If a Demigod Expert obtains a Greed Heart, they can soon become a top-level Demigod, transforming into a Void God. Since the Greedy Demon Body was once the King of Greed, if he acquires the same Greed Heart, he likely has become a Mortal God."

"Correct, I now have the Strength of a Mortal God!" The Greedy Demon Body nodded without evasion, he looked up at the sky. "If it weren’t for the special Demon-Sealing Space of Purgatory, isolating the Power of God Sealing, you would now witness my Divine Enthronement!"

"A Mortal God! How can we possibly fight?!" Everyone was instantly plunged into despair!

The strength of their small team can barely handle ordinary Divine Domain experts, facing a Void God would be certain death.

Now they faced a Mortal God more powerful than a Void God!

Mortal Gods are terrifying beings that can enter Divine Enthronement at any time but still choose to remain in the Mortal Realm!

The true forms of The Seven Archdemons are this kind of existence!

They simply cannot fight; even combined with all their Divine Artifacts and every method employed, they cannot contend with such a powerful existence!

Even Huang Yi felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Despite secreting as much IV-level enhanced Kiss of Death, he simply couldn’t deal with a Mortal God.

"Since he just recently obtained a Greed Heart, could the method of Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields return him to a time when he didn’t have the Greed Heart?" At this point, Kid suddenly turned and asked Thunder God.

Thunder God shook his head: "No way! This falls under the category of items, not within the scope of Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields!"

"Do you have any more questions?" At this moment, the Greedy Demon Body asked everyone with a smile, like a hospitable host, "I’ve suffered countless years of loneliness here, and finally someone is here to talk to me. If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them. If there are no more questions, I’ll have fun with you all."

Everyone despaired!

This was a barrier they could not surpass!

And they could find no shortcut to bypass this barrier!

This was a deadlock!

They could no longer catch up with the Heavenly Demon and others!

They lost their chance to compete!

Their path in Purgatory ends here!

"No more questions? Then I shall kill you now!" The Greedy Demon Body reminded, as though giving a final ultimatum.

"Will you tell us the answer to any question?" At this time, Huang Yi suddenly asked.

The Greedy Demon Body chuckled: "That depends on my mood. But for general questions, I’m more than happy to answer."

Huang Yi stared at the Greedy Demon Body, speaking in a deep voice: "My question is, how can we defeat you?"

"A very interesting question!" The Greedy Demon Body chuckled and then shook his head: "But I’m sorry to tell you, the answer to that question is there’s no way. You have no way to defeat me. I know you possess multiple Divine Artifacts, two of which are even Finished Divine Artifacts, but the wielders are simply too weak to pose any threat to me."

"What if I manage to advance to the level of a Divine Domain?" Thunder God asked again.

"Useless!" The Greedy Demon Body still shook his head, "Unless all of you advance to the level of a Divine Domain, then perhaps you’d have a chance. But defeating me is very difficult; the power of a Mortal God is beyond your imagination. In sum, the truth is laid out before you: there is no way for you to pass this level."

"Since you are so powerful, why are you trapped in Purgatory?" The Poet asked.

The Greedy Demon Body pointed to the sky, saying, "That’s the will of Lord Divine King. If you could gain the support of Lord Divine King, you could easily pass my level. A single command from Lord Divine King, and I’d have to obediently step aside. But Lord Divine King has long since passed away, there’s no Hope for you. Aside from the Divine King, no other Deity, not even the Four Supreme Gods, can intervene in Purgatory and alter my will."
