Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1492 - 1418: The Last Survivor
"Oh? There’s actually a Heaven-Sent Man still alive?" The King of Annihilation’s voice was filled with surprise, "But what can a Heaven-Sent Man change! The Second World will ultimately still face the fate of destruction."
As his voice fell, the doomsday suddenly swelled again, its color turning even more fiery red, with coronal-like substances swirling around it, emitting an even more dazzling light.
A surge of scorching heat swept towards The Second World, with the dean bearing the brunt, fiercely blown backwards by the heatwave.
The dean immediately spread his hand open, revealing an ancient pocket watch in his palm, and moved the red pointer on it across a scale.
"Click~" A crisp sound of a winding mechanism rang out, and then the pointer began to tick-tock as it turned.
At the same time, in the distant starry sky, the Red Star suddenly trembled, shooting out a thick red beam of light.
This red beam pierced through the vast star sea, shooting straight towards The Second World, once again striking that doomsday.
"Poof~" The doomsday trembled violently, and the struck part immediately caved in, bursting open a large hole!
Endless magma suddenly poured out from that hole, like a broken egg yolk, flowing into the void.
"Hmm? It succeeded!" Inside The Second World, the Guardians, seeing this scene, brightened up!
But just at this moment, the magma flowing out from the doomsday suddenly followed the orbit of The Second World, like an orange ring, starting to revolve around The Second World.
From that magma belt, clusters of magma occasionally separated, battering down rapidly towards The Second World below.
Clusters of magma, trailing long tails of flame, streaked through the sky, crashing into the various Respawn Points in The Second World, blasting out mushroom clouds one after another.
"Dean, thank you for your attack! Without your external pressure, how could I refine so much doomsday magma!" From within the doomsday, the voice of the King of Annihilation rang out again.
It turns out, the dean’s earlier move not only failed to function as an attack but also facilitated the King of Annihilation in refining that doomsday magma!
"Dean, stop, don’t attack the King of Annihilation anymore!" At this time, the King of Fear quickly reminded loudly, "This doomsday magma was obtained by the King of Annihilation from the Doomsday Volcano in the depths of the universe and can melt anything. Even a Void God falling into such magma would be burned to ashes. It’s one of the King of Annihilation’s strongest means! This doomsday magma is usually compressed in the King of Annihilation’s abdomen and needs internal and external combined pressure to be refined!"
The dean, slightly shocked, immediately stopped, no longer manipulating the Time of Georgia.
He turned around and looked at the King of Fear inside The Second World, saying, "Is there really no way to break out of this situation?"
"Of course there is! As long as several Void Gods attack together, then it would be possible to unleash a force beyond the pressure limit, truly breaking the King of Annihilation’s doomsday." The King of Fear said.
However, this method cannot be executed now. Only the dean can leave The Second World to fight outside.
Cluster after cluster of magma continued to bombard The Second World. They were too fast, and the angles of descent were completely irregular, so the Guardians could only block a part, while some would slip through, destroying one Respawn Point after another.
While everyone was at a loss, the sky over The Second World suddenly turned stormy!
Countless clouds roiled up, freely spreading, covering all the blue sky, making The Second World entirely shrouded in cloud layers, with no place left clear.
Then, these clouds quickly cooled, forming ice crystals, transforming into a layer of solid ice covering the entire Second World, making the whole world look like an ice ball!
The intense heat was instantly blocked, and the surface of The Second World began to cool down finally.
As those doomsday magma clusters from outer space fell towards The Second World, they first had to face this layer of solid ice, unable to break through it immediately.
And with such a delay, the Guardians could rush over in time to stop these magma clusters.
"Who is it? Who is guiding the world rules?" From within the doomsday, the King of Annihilation’s puzzled voice immediately rang out.
The change in The Second World involved the climate of the entire planet, obviously due to the effect of world rules. But the world rules generally only take effect passively and not actively form a layer of solid ice to block him, so there must be someone guiding the world rules.
"King of Annihilation, didn’t you just say a Heaven-Sent Man couldn’t change anything? But this Heaven-Sent Man can change the fate of The Second World!" The dean smiled with relief.
"Solid ice... weather change... can it be the Ice Queen?" The King of Annihilation finally guessed a name.
"That’s right, it’s me!" In the next moment, a woman’s voice echoed throughout The Second World.
This voice had no specific location, as if The Second World itself was speaking, echoing from everywhere.
It turned out that the Heaven-Sent survivor the dean mentioned was the Ice Queen.
After the Ice Queen mended the sky, she became the "Second Creator" and received protection from the world’s rules. The ultimate phase of the Soul Plague spreads through the world’s rules, allowing her to avoid this plague.
When the Divine King issued the Heaven-Sent Mandate Decree, The Second World became the world designated for the Heaven-Sent, and the world rules would change with the Heaven-Sent. There have already been several major adjustments, such as revisions during the Heaven-Sent Era, the Ultimate Era, and changes after the God of Slaughter ascended the throne...
When the Heaven-Sent exists, this world becomes stronger. The survival of the Ice Queen is significant not only for herself but for The Second World as a whole. Just now, she guided the world’s rules to change the global climate, turning clouds into ice layers to shield against the King of Annihilation’s magma clusters.
"Haha! It’s just the Ice Queen. As long as it’s not the God of Slaughter, I won’t take it seriously! I just have to summon more strength; I refuse to believe you can guard those respawn points!" The King of Annihilation arrogantly laughed, and then the voice fell silent, along with the Doomsday that remained motionless.
The magma belt surrounding The Second World also ceased dropping magma clusters, simply rotating around The Second World.
"The King of Annihilation is likely communicating with the Demon Clan, deploying even more strength over here! Our situation will become more severe!" The King of Fear said gravely.
All the Guardians felt a chill in their hearts. If the Demon Clan uses the same lineup as in the last World-Ending Formation to destroy The Second World, they would definitely be unable to withstand it.
The Heaven-Sent are no longer here; those Divine Domain helpers brought from various worlds have mostly returned to their own worlds.
The Divine Envoys Huang Yi summoned from the Heaven Realm have also all returned to the Heaven Realm.
The remaining resistance forces in The Second World consist only of them.
Their only hope is to gamble that the Demon Clan can’t spare so many people!
Previously, the God of Slaughter killed the Queen of Agony, causing her countless subordinates to perish, leaving chaos in the Demon Clan’s microcosm. Manpower is tight, and they might not be able to mobilize as many strong forces as last time.
At this moment, the Ice Queen also realized the gravity of the situation and quickly activated the livestream function, broadcasting events happening in The Second World to the forums.
Soon, the news spread across the forums and quickly reached the media in the real world.
Players worldwide then realized that The Second World had just suffered a deadly crisis and would face even more severe challenges ahead.
A wave of helplessness surged through everyone. In previous crises, they could at least offer a meager bit of help, but now they had nowhere to exert any effort. They’re all in the Underworld, unable to interfere with The Second World.
...
In the Underworld.
Across a vast wilderness, a group of people was struggling forward.
Each person in this group had an extraordinary demeanor; they were among the strongest players in the world, most of them super first-class masters, with Dao Feng leading the team. Only his experience and prestige commanded everyone’s respect.
During the previous meeting, they followed Sharp Sword’s suggestion to form a team and explore the God’s Tomb.
They have encountered danger many times throughout these days, but thankfully, each team member is a master of unique skills; otherwise, they would never have lasted this long.
Yet, despite their long exploration, they still had no leads. The God’s Tomb was too vast; it’s uncertain how long it would take to finish exploring. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Not good! Our guild members sent a message saying the King of Annihilation is destroying The Second World’s respawn points, preventing our resurrection. Fortunately, the Ice Queen appeared, guiding The Second World’s rules to self-rescue." At this moment, the Pharaoh suddenly broke the news.
"What? The Ice Queen is still alive?" Everyone was astonished.
"As expected of the Second Creator, she dodged the Soul Plague we couldn’t escape!" The Thunder God exclaimed.
"The King of Annihilation ranks just below the King of Hell among the Demon Kings and excels at annihilation. If his goal isn’t to kill but to destroy the respawn points, he can easily achieve this!" The Pope’s face was solemn.
A trace of gloom appeared on Dao Feng’s brow, and he said heavily, "We’re now racing against time! It’s a matter of whether we uncover the secrets of the God’s Tomb first and return to The Second World, or whether the King of Annihilation destroys The Second World’s respawn points first, cutting off our retreat completely!"
The Heavenly Dao glanced around at everyone, saying, "In five days, the annual ceremony will commence. If we can hold on until then and quickly resurrect Brother Yi, he will surely be able to delay the King of Annihilation’s offensive, buying us more time until we unveil the secrets within the Underworld’s God’s Tomb and revive in The Second World."
"Huang Yi is the key! Without him, we cannot succeed!"
