Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1467 - 1395: A Major Breakthrough in Bloodhoof’s Death!
Liu Yi smiled lightly, "This question is actually quite easy to answer! When I took this thing out from that heart earlier, I didn’t find any incision on that heart! It really seems like the ability of this glove of mine!"
As he spoke, he shook his right hand, showing the crowd his magical glove: "This glove of mine is not a physical entity, but a mass of energy. It is said to have been created by a powerful Void God during the Primordial Era, by gathering a magical aura from the sky. It can ignore physical barriers and enter the interior of an object without leaving any openings. This means that when I wear this glove, I can reach my hand into a living person’s body and crush their heart without leaving any marks on their body’s surface, so no one can tell how they died. The sky-blue glass shards might have the same ability as my glove."
The Pope took the sky-blue, glass-like shard, rubbed it for a while, and speculated, "Bloodhoof the Ascendant and Nasha at her Divine Enthronement power must have had an epic battle; otherwise, it would be impossible for Bloodhoof the Ascendant’s body to contain Nasha’s Kiss of Death. Is it possible that when the two of them battled to mutual destruction, these sky-blue shards suddenly came in and killed them both? "
Huang Yi pondered for a while and said, "Let’s wait and see! There are still three teams investigating the other three Formation Eyes; perhaps there will be new discoveries."
...
Days passed by one after another.
Among the other three teams, the first breakthrough was made by the team led by Dao Feng. They also found several bones, verified to be from the strong Nasha, further proving that Bloodhoof the Ascendant’s death is indeed related to Nasha.
A few days later, messages simultaneously came from the teams led by Thunder God and Giant Bear. In the corresponding Formation Eyes, they picked up several sky-blue glass-like shards that were scattered on the ground and didn’t require extraction from corpse tissues.
The accompanying journalists promptly synchronised Huang Yi and the others’ discoveries across various media channels, sparking worldwide player speculation.
Yet despite pooling the world’s knowledge, they still couldn’t decipher what exactly those shards were.
Finally, after more than a month, a new breakthrough was made!
That noon, Huang Yi suddenly received a message from the Ice Queen, asking him to meet her immediately.
Huang Yi’s incarnation promptly went to the meeting location and eventually met the Ice Queen in a deserted ocean area.
At this time, the Ice Queen was still riding on that Ice Phoenix, raising her hands high, emitting a bluish aura, diligently mending the heavens. Yet her expression was clearly solemn, glancing around occasionally, as if on guard.
Upon seeing Huang Yi’s arrival, her expression slightly relaxed, retracting her hands, pausing the heaven-mending process, and said, "God of Slaughter, that mysterious golden light has appeared again!"
"Oh?" Huang Yi was immediately intrigued. The last time he led the expedition group to the Fallen God Continent, he had witnessed that golden light at Central Port. During that time, the Ice Queen was mending the heavens when that golden light suddenly attacked her, but she swiftly dodged it, and that golden light immediately vanished without a trace, making it impossible to pursue.
Huang Yi had noticed back then that the golden light was related to the mysterious drop of Creator Ancestral Spirit Blood he absorbed, but since then, there had been no further news about it.
After many days, the golden light indeed could not remain hidden and appeared again!
"Did you see what it looked like?" Huang Yi eagerly asked.
The Ice Queen shook her head, "Unfortunately, it was too fast, and enveloped in golden light, I couldn’t see what it looked like in that moment. But when it attacked me, it happened to touch my Heavenly Repairing Breath, after which the entire sky suddenly flashed a blue light, striking it and severely wounding it before retreating. Then, those blue lights shattered into a small entity that fell down, which I picked up, and you might find it interesting."
After speaking, the Ice Queen flicked her palm, taking out something—
It was a sky-blue, glass-like shard, the size of a fingernail!
Huang Yi was greatly astonished!
This small shard was exactly like the sky-blue glass-like shards they recently discovered in the Fallen God Continent, identical in every way!
However, this shard was very small, incomparable in magnitude to those sky-blue shards found in the Fallen God Continent.
The Ice Queen gently stroked the shard, "When I first picked up this small shard, I was also very surprised. I had seen on the forums that you also found some of these shards in the Fallen God Continent, so I immediately realized that you might be able to make a breakthrough from what happened with me."
Huang Yi received the small sky-blue shard from the Ice Queen while carefully examining it and asked, "You just said that a blue light suddenly appeared in the sky, attacked the mysterious golden light that assaulted you, and then shattered into this small shard?"
The Ice Queen looked up at the sky, "Yes! I can confirm there was no third-party presence around at the time; that blue light appeared automatically in the sky. You can consider it a kind of divine punishment or a natural phenomenon. In any case, it was not caused by humans."
"Divine punishment... natural phenomenon..." Huang Yi murmured these two words, looking up at the sky, the azure sky was so vast and endless, yet there was nothing there.
"God of Slaughter, I have some immature thoughts that you might consider." At this moment, the Ice Queen suddenly spoke again, her gaze fixed on the distant blue sky, and her cold face, for once, showed a hint of a warm smile, "Over these days, I’ve been busy mending the heavens, and though the experience was monotonous, it deepened my understanding of The Second World from a macro perspective. Indeed, The Second World is much like a conscious life form, with all of us, all races, animals, and plants being like bacteria living on it. When I mended the heavens, I could feel this world was benevolent towards me; tornadoes would suddenly shift away without interrupting my heaven-mending. When I reached a sky thick with storm clouds and lightning, the clouds dispersed rapidly, and the lightning ceased suddenly... I could sense an immense existence, expressing gratitude towards me in this manner. I think there is no other possibility than The Second World itself."
After saying this, the Ice Queen gently waved towards a group of beautiful white clouds in the distance.
Next moment, suddenly a gust of breeze arose, gently blowing that mass of white clouds over, eventually encircling the Ice Queen, wrapping her in like a cotton candy.
The Ice Queen broke into a dazzling smile, twirling amid the clouds, her white dress rising slightly, sweeping away the frost of her icy beauty, like a joyous girl-next-door.
"See, isn’t it amazing? The moment I showed affection towards that mass of white clouds, a breeze blew it right beside me. Isn’t this world much like a conscious life form? When you are good to it, it will reciprocate." the Ice Queen laughed.
Huang Yi stared at that mass of white clouds, falling into deep thought, subconsciously recalling that Creator Ancestral Spirit—Sagittarius Constellation.
Sagittarius Constellation was initially a galaxy but in reality, it was a conscious life form. From this perspective, The Second World also holds this possibility.
The Ice Queen continued, "I think my recent heaven-mending efforts have slowly gained The Second World’s approval, making me an exception, so when that golden light attacked me, a blue light suddenly appeared from the sky to aid me. The Second World can discern who is harmful to this world, and under extreme conditions, it will take its own action! Of course, it won’t do so every time, but it is possible under extreme conditions."
When the Ice Queen said this, her expression became serious, "So I suspect Bloodhoof the Ascendant and the mighty Nasha didn’t perish together but were killed by The Second World. The Second World recognized them as severe threats, hence a divine punishment occurred. Back then, the Second World was immensely powerful, unlike today’s weakened state, so back then, the divine punishment’s power greatly exceeded the blue light I encountered just now, strong enough to kill even Bloodhoof the Ascendant. This form of attack surpasses our ordinary means of attack, falling under the domain of world rules. As the King of the World, you can alter the world rules to an extent, so you should be familiar with this method. World rules killing does not need to inflict wounds, directly able to put people to death, which is why those sky-blue shards directly appeared in their bodies."
"Makes sense!" Huang Yi nodded, "Actually, long ago, I already had suspicions toward Bloodhoof the Ascendant; after the Third-tier Trial, I received a clear conclusion—Bloodhoof the Ascendant is a harmful figure for The Second World! Eliminating him would make The Second World a better place. But this conclusion couldn’t be directly tied to his death, which instead had many signs pointing Naga and Nasha as the main causes. If these sky-blue shards are indeed world rule shards, then it can largely confirm that Bloodhoof the Ascendant wasn’t killed by Nasha’s attack, but by the divine punishment of The Second World."
"But there is still one unanswered question: Bloodhoof the Ascendant, a prestiged God Sealer, is clearly the glory of The Second World; why would he be harmful to The Second World?"
