Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1833 - 1751: Unraveling the Mystery Again! The Past Between Huang Yi and the Death God!

As soon as the Death God appeared, Huang Yi was plunged into multiple crises. It was now the critical moment of the fusion of the five Supreme Rules. If his body were to be controlled by the Death God, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

The Death God would easily steal his hard-earned results and directly become the Divine King!

"Death God, you truly didn’t die. You must have guessed that the God of Slaughter was the Nefalem I created, so you deliberately committed suicide to attract the God of Slaughter to become your reincarnator, intending to directly steal the Divine King Fruit!" At this moment, the voice of the God of Space emerged from Huang Yi’s mouth, as if he had long expected this scene.

"You really have great insight!" the Death God said effortlessly.

"Fortunately, I had foreseen it long ago." Huang Yi’s calm voice also sounded, looking at the Sharp Sword in the distance, he nodded slightly.

He had long been wary of the Death God. Various signs indicated that the Death God’s death might have been a conspiracy.

When he went to the God’s Tomb to fuse with the Death God’s soul, the process was very smooth, while it was difficult for Dao Feng and the other reincarnators to fuse the Divine Soul.

At that time, he thought it was due to his Nefalem’s Bloodline and his identity as the Death God’s successor that allowed him to fuse the Death God’s soul so smoothly.

However, Sharp Sword’s relationship with the First Underworld King was closer, an ancestor and descendant relationship, yet his fusion process was much more difficult.

This indicated that his smooth fusion with the Death God had something odd about it. The Death God might have deliberately set this trap, intending for him to become his reincarnator, thus lying dormant within him.

It’s very likely that the Death God already knew about his identity as a Nefalem, so he placed his bet on him, using his hands to become the Divine King.

Additionally, when he went to the Hall of Extinction, the process was too smooth, which was also suspicious.

The Hall of Extinction is one of the most important areas of the Dead Star, even a Main God Level powerhouse must be cautious upon entering.

Back then, he was extremely weak yet encountered no danger after entering, and there was even a mysterious force guiding him to obtain the Slaughter Blade.

That force was likely from the Death God, deliberately guiding him to quickly enhance his strength.

If the previous points were speculative without evidence, then the phone call between Sharp Sword and himself blatantly revealed the truth.

Not long ago, Sharp Sword came to Huang Yi and exchanged the release of Heroes’ Prison inmates No. 3, 4, and 8, revealing a secret to him.

But Sharp Sword said this secret couldn’t be spoken in the virtual world and had to be said via an offline phone call, as once spoken in the virtual world, it would be simultaneously known by the Death God.

The Death God was already lurking within Huang Yi, no matter how covertly Sharp Sword told Huang Yi online, even writing notes couldn’t keep it secret.

The Death God could receive all of Huang Yi’s perceptions, hearing everything Huang Yi heard, seeing everything Huang Yi saw, the only thing he couldn’t pry into was Huang Yi’s thoughts.

To avoid the Death God, they could only communicate by phone offline.

Additionally, when Huang Yi released the King of Reflections in Heroes’ Prison, the King of Reflections subtly spoke to him, suggesting he might not be himself, perhaps just a puppet, and at that moment, Huang Yi understood the King of Reflections was hinting at the presence of the Death God.

In cell No. 8, Scorpio also sensed the purest aura of the Death God on Huang Yi, mistaking him for the Death God himself, which was another point of suspicion.

However, though many signs suggested the Death God was lurking within him, and Sharp Sword even told him openly, for safety, he still decided to validate it personally.

And the method of validation was to consult the Book of Fate!

Everyone could only go alone to the Temple of Fate to consult the Book of Fate, and the revelations obtained could only be known to oneself, not directly disclosed to a second person, at most give side hints.

Huang Yi’s request to the God of Destiny was not truly to obtain revelations but to verify if the Death God was within him.

After he went to the Temple of Fate, the Book of Fate directly closed, giving no revelations. This indicated that besides Huang Yi at that time, there was a second presence, the Death God lurking within him, so Huang Yi finally confirmed that the Death God indeed lurked within him.

"God of Slaughter, so what if you expected it, you’re just my puppet. Your reincarnator powers, your Rule of Death, the Reaper’s Scythe in your hand, all of these are mine. Do you think you truly control them?" the Death God said nonchalantly with a smile.

As if to prove his words, the Reaper’s Scythe in Huang Yi’s hand suddenly flew out without warning, hovering in midair on the side of the Death God.

Simultaneously, Huang Yi felt his strength plummet, the powers gained from the Death God’s reincarnation became inaccessible.

More crucially, he was unable to control the Rule of Death, unable to pass the death sentence on others.

He even lost a significant degree of control over his own body and was soon about to be completely dominated by the Death God, resulting in an irrevocable catastrophe.

Huang Yi swiftly flicked his wrist, immediately taking out a box.

This box, given to him by Sharp Sword in exchange for releasing offenders No. 3, 4, and 8, contained one of the solutions Sharp Sword provided after revealing the Death God’s secret. The solution was hidden inside this box.

After obtaining the box back then, Huang Yi hadn’t opened it for inspection but chose to trust Sharp Sword directly.

Because he had no other choice, once he opened the box for inspection, he would see what it contained, and the Death God would also see through his eyes, leaving this countermeasure completely exposed.

"So, the box the Underworld King gave you is meant to deal with me?" The Death God mused, but his tone remained calm, not paying much attention.

Seeing Huang Yi take out the box, Emperor Huang Quan suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to look at Sharp Sword, shook his head and smiled but said nothing.

Taking a deep breath and with a tense heart, Huang Yi opened the box.

He didn’t know if Sharp Sword had kept his promise, if the box was empty, he would have been tricked by Sharp Sword.

In the next moment, the box was fully opened, and Huang Yi let out a long breath of relief.

Inside the box lay a palm-sized flat oval stone, with a red circular boundary on the outside and a black and white Taiji pattern in the center, emitting a mystic aura, as if it did not belong to this universe.

"Taiji Stone?" the Death God behind Huang Yi was slightly surprised. He couldn’t see the box in Huang Yi’s hand but could perceive it in other ways.

This Taiji Stone was Huang Yi’s trump card against the Death God.
