Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1419 - 1349: The One-Year Wager

"Why should I agree to you?" the King of Fear retorted.

Huang Yi came to the front of the King of Fear, stared straight at him, and said, "You are imprisoned here, forever shrouded in darkness, unable to have any interaction with the outside world. But if you become the Guardian of the Hero Empire, you can at least see the sky outside, observe the changes of the Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields, and breathe the air of freedom, which is infinitely better than being locked in this prison."

The King of Fear pretended to nod, slightly curled his lips, and said, "It sounds nice, but I am already at the Mortal God level. Even if you sign a contract with me, I cannot leave the Heroes’ Prison, as the Power of the Contract would conflict with the Power of God Sealing."

Huang Yi raised the four medals in his hand and said, "I will go to the Death God’s Temple to find the original owners of these four medals, and have them recharge these medals. By that time, these four medals will seal your power again, making you unable to perform Divine Enthronement."

There is already a precedent for this, and that was the Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua, before.

The sealing item of Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua was the Hengjiang Lock, while the sealing item for the King of Fear is these four medals.

"What’s the point of sealing power?" The King of Fear shook his head, his tone full of disdain, "I don’t like the feeling of my power being bound. If it is just to see the outside world, my power has to be sealed, I’d rather not have that kind of freedom."

Huang Yi fell into contemplation.

There were many criminals who had previously refused him, but this King of Fear was too important. His identity as a Demon King could have a supreme effect over sheer power, unparalleled by any other Guardians. He didn’t want to miss this criminal.

"I can offer you an unprecedented sentence reduction." Finally, Huang Yi pressed his lips together and cautiously said, "If you agree, in five years, I can return you true freedom, lifting all contracts and unscrambling your seal, granting you true freedom."

"Oh?" This time, the King of Fear became serious, for the first time extending his hand and unveiling his hood, revealing his complete face.

He surprisingly had no skull on his head, and the area above his eyes was an exposed red brain, with deep grooves and wrinkles faintly moving like worms, incredibly terrifying.

At this moment, his brain convolutions moved rapidly, seemingly indicating his deep thinking, with countless thoughts flashing through that exposed brain.

After a long while, he stared at Huang Yi, seriously said, "If it were the former Prison Warden, I would definitely agree, but you are the Heaven-Sent Man, who grows too fast, I cannot wait for five years, at most one year! If you can sign a contract with me, granting me true freedom in one year, then I will agree to become the Guardian of your Hero Empire."

"One year?" Huang Yi fell into contemplation again.

The five years he mentioned earlier was a very safe timeframe. He took only two years to grow from a level 1 rookie to the Demigod level. Five years later, he didn’t know what extent he’d grown to, by that time, even releasing the King of Fear could be subdued by his own strength.

But if it’s one year, it’s not very safe. A year later, Huang Yi was still uncertain whether he could perform Divine Enthronement. If he couldn’t, then after the King of Fear gained freedom, he might not be able to suppress him.

"Why don’t we each take a step back, how about two years? After two years, I will give you freedom." Huang Yi bargained.

The King of Fear shook his head directly, firmly said, "No! I said one year means one year! Not even one more day!"

Huang Yi stared at the King of Fear for a long time and finally nodded, saying, "Alright, then one year! After one year, I will give you freedom."

He decided on a gamble, betting that within a year he could elevate his power to a level capable of suppressing the King of Fear! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Straightforward, I like people like you." The King of Fear smiled, slowly stood up from his throne, finally standing his majestic figure on his feet!

He looked down from above, flicked his robe backward as if a monarch rising again, swinging his battle robe, ready to conquer the outside world.

"Now, please wait a while, I will soon hand these four medals to their original owners for recharging. Once accomplished, I will return to find you immediately." Huang Yi said, turning and striding out of the cell.

After Huang Yi completely mastered Heroes’ Prison, he opened a portal to Dead Star. He could directly pass through this portal and quickly return to the Death God’s Temple.

Huang Yi soon passed this portal and returned to the Death God’s Temple. Although only a short time had passed since he descended from the Gate of Heaven Realm, he could no longer regain that system-granted chance of Divine Enthronement now that he returned.

Back to the Death God’s Temple, Huang Yi soon arrived at a cliff called "Flying Dragon Cliff."

This is the headquarters of the Dragon Knights in Death God’s Temple, filled with countless Dragon Caves along the cliff, like an endless hive. When the Dragon Knights army mobilizes, numerous Dragon Knights emerge from these Dragon Caves, blotting out the sky, with majestic dragon roars resounding through heaven and earth.

At the very center of this cliff is the largest Dragon Cave, like a gigantic mouth devouring everything. It is the Dragon Cave where the Dragon Knight General resides.

The Dragon Knight army of the Death God’s Temple has ten generals, among them are the four Demon Dragon Knights who captured the King of Fear back then. They are high-ranking figures in the Death God’s Temple, already possessing the strength of Void Gods since the Eternal Ancient Era, but they couldn’t perform Divine Enthronement due to their contract with the Death God. But simultaneously, they were pardoned from death by the Death God, living until now.

In terms of strength, they are the mightiest beings below Deities, maintaining a Great Perfection stage at the Void God level for countless years, enhancing their combat skills to perfection, masterful in a dazzling array of abilities, not to mention the newly ascended Void Gods facing them.

To show his respect, Huang Yi did not use the continuous Blink of Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings, but flew at normal speed to the center of that gigantic Dragon Cave.

After flying for a while, a team of patrolling Dragon Knights in the sky discovered Huang Yi’s arrival, they flew over to surround Huang Yi, looking at him sternly.

Dragon wings flapped around Huang Yi, the strong wind blowing his clothes rustle, carrying the oppressive power of crashing waves.

"Who are you?" At this moment, the leading captain asked harshly. He rode a silvery shining Silver Dragon, draped in a silver armor, holding a silver long spear pointed at Huang Yi, imposing and formidable.

"I am the new Warden of Heroes’ Prison, God of Slaughter, having important matters to meet the four Demon Dragon Knight Generals." Huang Yi waved his hand, took out the Reaper’s Command, and waved it casually.

Again, the update of this book is very slow now. If it’s past 11 p.m. and still not updated, it means no update for the day. Don’t wait. There won’t be a special leave note. This book is no longer pursuing achievements. I don’t want too much pressure, focusing on recuperating body, stopping when there’s no inspiration, won’t force myself to write.
