Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1490 - 1416: King of Annihilation, Destroyer of Respawn Points
In the microcosm of the Seven Archdemons, the three avatars of the King of Annihilation, the Dark King, and the King of the Fallen, along with dozens of divine domain powerhouses from the Demon Clan, stood separately in the void, surrounding a gigantic planet.
From their bodies shot out thick strands of demonic qi, like chains winding around the planet, maintaining its stability.
The planet was already a dead silence, having stopped rotating. It was covered with countless space rifts, and the light shone upon these rifts, forming auroras that made the whole planet dazzlingly colorful.
That was the Star of Pain, but with the death of the Queen of Agony, all living beings on the planet perished with her, turning it into a lifeless star.
Moreover, the planet itself was on the brink of collapse; with the death of the Queen of Agony’s divine domain powerhouses, there was no one left to maintain its stability.
The space rifts should have long since spread out, completely devouring this planet, but fortunately, the three Demon King avatars intervened in time to halt this trend.
They also recalled dozens of divine domain experts from various other worlds to maintain the stability of the planet.
However, maintaining it this way was not a long-term solution, and the three Demon Kings had different opinions.
"This is a burden to us!" The Dark King stared at the Star of Pain and said, "We are short on manpower right now, and if we divert part of our strength to maintain the stability of this Star of Pain, it’s too much of a loss."
"So should we just let it collapse? If it collapses, our microcosm will have to shrink, and the Demon Clan’s prestige will be damaged!" the King of the Fallen said in a muffled voice.
"Exactly! This microcosm is like our palace, and as emperors, can you tolerate the palace being damaged?" The eyes of the King of Annihilation shot out flames.
The Dark King chuckled softly, "The Queen of Agony is dead; our prestige has already been offended. Why waste strength maintaining this illusory facade? The urgent task is to stabilize the situation; we need to send more power to the First World and the Second World. Once those issues are resolved, we can discuss dignity. In my opinion, why not refine this Star of Pain and infuse its energy into the Spirit Demons and Heavenly Demons, bringing them to the realm of the Void God!"
"We cannot easily decide to refine the Star of Pain. But now it is indeed a good time to move to the Second World! All the Heaven-Sent Men have died, and we should take this opportunity to destroy all the respawn points, preventing those Heaven-Sent Men from resurrecting again!" the King of the Fallen nodded and said.
"In that case, I will personally take the Axe of Destruction to the Second World, destroy all the respawn points, and completely eliminate the possibility of Heaven-Sent Men resurrecting!" As the King of Annihilation spoke, his body flickered and disappeared into the air.
As soon as his strength was withdrawn, the Star of Pain trembled violently, and the surrounding space rifts began to spread. The multicolored auroras shook wildly, seemingly on the verge of collapse again.
The Dark King and the King of the Fallen had to borrow more strength from their true bodies, enhancing the power of these two avatars to fill the void left by the King of Annihilation.
...
Emperor Somrett was standing at the end of the sky in the Second World, gazing at the outer starry sky.
The universe was boundless and starry, but he could not go there; at most, he could only stay at the edge of the atmosphere, ten thousand kilometers from the ground, looking from afar.
Since Huang Yi dissolved the doomsday crisis recently, he instructed ten guardians to monitor different positions in outer space in the Second World, to detect any danger as soon as possible.
Emperor Somrett was one of the ten guardians chosen by Huang Yi, and he had been steadfastly holding his position, continually watching the outer space.
Occasionally, he would lower his head and overlook the vast Second World below, imagining the Blood Empire he once built and the woman he loved all his life.
Although all that had become the past, at least the Second World still existed. It was the place where his legends and epics were born, where countless stories happened, and he must guard it well.
At this moment, his pupils shrank, and he stared intently at a star domain in outer space.
He saw that star domain ripple with circles, revealing a majestic figure.
The figure’s body was made of scorching rock, covered with thick cracks, under which red magma flowed.
Vast divine power surged turbulently within him, like a volcano long brewing, about to erupt and destroy everything.
In his hand, he held a ferocious giant axe, glowing red as if freshly taken from magma, ready to be put into a blacksmith’s forge.
The majestic figure stirred the starry sky, stepping toward the Second World one step at a time.
His steps were heavy and powerful. Every step caused the starry sky to tremble, the ground below to crack, spewing rolling magma, while surrounding asteroids automatically exploded, turning to ashes.
Wherever he walked, destruction followed!
"The King of Annihilation!" Emperor Somrett recognized the majestic figure immediately!
The giant axe is undoubtedly the magic instrument of the King of Annihilation—the Axe of Destruction!
From the aura of the axe, it seems to be the core of the magic instrument!
"Everyone, attention! The King of Annihilation is heading toward The Second World!" Emperor Somerett immediately warned loudly, his authoritative voice echoing throughout The Second World.
Soon, the Guardians of the Divine Domain arrived at the area where Emperor Somerett was, solemnly gazing at the distant, leisurely approaching King of Annihilation.
"Destruction, are you coming alone to seek death?" the King of Fear sneered.
"Fear, you are so pathetic, trapped in The Second World like a watchdog! The Heaven-Sent Man you were guarding has already been poisoned to death by the Spirit Demon! You can do nothing!" the rough voice of the King of Annihilation rumbled from afar like thunder.
"The Heaven-Sent Man has infinite possibilities, and one day they will resurrect!" Emperor Somerett said.
"I am here today to stop their resurrection!" the King of Annihilation declared as he arrived in the outer space of The Second World, only a stone’s throw away from the guardians, his fiery eyes sweeping over each of them in turn.
But those guardians could not break through this final distance to charge forward, like a group of beasts confined within a glass wall in a zoo.
At this moment, the King of Annihilation swung the Axe of Destruction with his massive arm, cleaving toward the direction of The Second World!
"Boom!" A red giant axe shadow poured out, bringing a force as if to split heaven and earth, crushing toward The Second World!
When the giant axe shadow struck the boundary of The Second World’s atmosphere, it suddenly halted, blocked by an invisible force!
However, the power of the giant axe shadow was too overwhelming, cutting through the obstructing force, continuing downward, though less imposing, its strength greatly diminished.
The King of Fear casually waved, and a surge of demonic qi gushed out, enveloping the massive axe shadow, the two forces annihilating each other, finally completely dissipating.
"Destruction! After all these years, your strength hasn’t improved at all!" the King of Fear mocked.
"The world barrier of The Second World weakened my power, that’s all!" the King of Annihilation snorted coldly.
After the Ice Queen completed Mending the Sky, The Second World had become a complete world, and the world barrier possessed powerful obstructive power.
Just now, that move had been weakened by the barrier, otherwise, the King of Fear would not have been able to block it so easily.
At this time, the Soldier of Annihilation swung the Axe of Destruction again, but instead of bringing it down, continued to wield it in a circular trajectory, moving faster and faster!
Gradually, the Axe of Destruction spun into a wheel of fire, emanating an increasingly terrifying aura of divine power, the space violently rubbing, sparking countless small sparks.
Soon, the space melted by the high heat, turning into the most primal chaotic matter!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Burning axe shadows shot out from the Axe of Destruction, pouring toward The Second World densely packed!
These axe shadows did not just attack one place but flew in all directions, attacking The Second World from every angle!
The guardians employed various methods to block them, easily stopping the axe shadows in their area. But the other regions could not be similarly protected, with axe shadows slipping through.
The axe shadows, like meteors, carved fiery trails through the sky, crashing to the ground, creating mushroom clouds, seas of fire surging, magma boiling, presenting an apocalyptic scene!
Their fall points were precise, all hitting the locations with respawn points, completely destroying those respawn points.
"What is the King of Annihilation doing? These attacks are so light; they can’t hurt us at all!" Emperor Somerett wondered.
"No good! He is destroying the respawn points!" the Envoy of the Underworld, Yi Mingfeng, slightly startled, "I can no longer sense the connection between those respawn points and the Underworld. Each respawn point is a pathway connecting to the Underworld, allowing the souls of the Heaven-Sent Man to return to The Second World from the Underworld, but now, those pathways are destroyed. The King of Annihilation does not intend to fight us, just to destroy the respawn points of The Second World. Once all the respawn points are destroyed, the Heaven-Sent Man will never resurrect again! They will be stuck in the Underworld forever!"
"Quick, everyone disperse, guard each region of The Second World, don’t let the King of Annihilation’s attacks hit the ground!" Fallen Feather Broken Feather hastily left a word and with a flap of his wings, disappeared, heading to other parts of The Second World.
The other guardians quickly dispersed as well, each responsible for guarding a section of the sky, and soon, the dozens of Guardians of the Divine Domain spread out into a large net, enveloping The Second World and protecting those respawn points.
At this time, the billions of players in the Underworld did not know that The Second World had once again fallen into crisis, with only a group of virtual NPCs silently guarding them from afar.
