Heroes' Prison
Chapter 1689 - 1614: The Demon Clan in Peril, Allies Disperse
The Moon Clan’s Shuang Sha exchanged a glance, momentarily unsure of what to do, hesitating in mid-air.
If this order had come earlier, they would have undoubtedly retreated without hesitation, as they initially did not want to get involved in this war. But now they had completely offended The Second World, and even if they retreated, they would face The Second World’s revenge. It was better to stay and fight against The Second World alongside the Demon Clan.
"God of Slaughter!" Suddenly, Moon Father mentioned Huang Yi’s name, his tone slightly more relaxed, "My two children acted foolishly and offended The Second World. I will have them return and no longer interfere in matters between you and the Demon Clan. After the war, we will offer compensation that will surely satisfy you."
As the words fell, everyone present immediately turned to look at Huang Yi.
Shuang Sha also turned to Huang Yi, waiting for his judgment. The two dignified leaders of the Mortal Gods were now eagerly watching Huang Yi, like two children who had erred, awaiting his forgiveness.
Huang Yi was the King of the Second World, the leader of the Second World faction, and only he could decide on this matter.
But before Huang Yi could speak, the voice of the King of Hell rang out first: "Moon Father, have you gone senile? At this moment, there is no retreat for you! You should stand united with our Demon Clan, live and die together. Retreating now would only weaken our force and allow the God of Slaughter to defeat us piecemeal, leaving no hope for victory."
"Following you only leads to a dead end! The Demon Clan is destined to be swept into the dustbin of history. Don’t drag us into it anymore; the Moon Clan has no further relationship with the Demon Clan!" Moon Father’s cold voice echoed through the starry sky.
Finally, Huang Yi stepped forward, staring into the depths of the universe, and declared loudly, "Fine! I agree, the Moon Clan can retreat now, and we will await your compensation. However, if the compensation fails to satisfy us, then our wrath will not be quelled."
With that, he surveyed the scene and commanded loudly, "Everyone, hear my order, do not attack the Moon Clan anymore, let them withdraw!"
With these words, the War Clan, Dragon Clan, Night Clan, Qilin Race, as well as the Giant Bear, Dante, and other master players surrounding Shuang Sha, all ceased their attacks and retreated from a distance.
At the same time, the Moon Clan’s Virtual Gods scattered across the battlefield also gained their freedom, with no one attacking them anymore.
At this time, Shuang Sha glanced at the dilapidated Lunar Prison outside The Second World and softly uttered a spell—
"Moonfall!"
As the spell was released, the Lunar Prison enveloping The Second World suddenly trembled violently, ley lines snapping rapidly and disappearing between heaven and earth.
The Celestial Web vanished!
The Second World was completely liberated!
The last hope of the Demon Clan was shattered. Before, as long as they blocked that gap, they still had the power to fight.
But now, even the entire Lunar Prison had vanished, and no matter how hard they tried, it was impossible to block The Second World anymore.
"Go!" The Moon Clan’s Shuang Sha simultaneously issued an order, immediately leading their few remaining Moon Clan members away, disappearing into the depths of the starry sky shortly after.
Thus, the Moon Clan completely withdrew from the battle.
This battle was a devastating defeat for the Moon Clan!
They were one of the first forces to join the Demon Clan’s battle, deploying multiple Virtual Gods to assist the Demon Clan, many of whom were killed by Huang Yi.
During these two days of the Hourglass of Time, they deployed ten more Virtual Gods, but now only four remained to return with them.
With so many Virtual Gods lost, the Moon Clan was severely weakened, and they still had to prepare compensation for The Second World, which would be another significant loss.
It could be said that after this battle, the Moon Clan would become the lowest among the top cosmic races.
This was the price of choosing the wrong side.
Yet they managed to stop at the brink of disaster, choosing to withdraw at the critical moment, or they might have faced total annihilation.
Seeing the Moon Clan retreat and the Lunar Prison vanish, the Demon Clan’s morale plummeted, and they lost the will to fight.
"God of Slaughter! The hatred between the Insect Race and The Second World is not too deep, we shall retreat now as well. The matter of you killing my daughter, the Insect Race will no longer pursue, all grievances wiped away!" At this time, the voice of the Insect Race’s Ancestral Mother echoed from the depths of the stars.
When she appeared previously, she did not attack anyone from The Second World, only blocking the Ancestral Dragon from joining the battle.
This statement showed that she also intended to draw a clear line with the Demon Clan, to avoid dragging the Insect Race into a more perilous situation.
"Brother Shashen! Farewell!" Suddenly, the voices of the Spider Queen and Butterfly Queen echoed from afar on the moon, accompanied by a beam of green light shooting from the moon to the edge of the universe.
At this point, the Insect Race has also withdrawn.
They were previously staying on the moon to help the Demon Realm suppress that barrier, but now with their withdrawal, the moon’s defenses have become vulnerable, and the mysterious barrier will be fully exposed.
The successive departures of the Moon Clan and the Insect Race have greatly weakened the forces of the Demon Realm, intensifying the crumble of the Demon Realm alliance.
The Second World faces peril, receiving aid from all directions.
Now, the Demon Realm is in trouble, and allies scatter.
Most of these allies were brought in through threats and temptations by the Demon Realm, but now the "threats" have lost their power, and the "temptations" are nowhere to be seen, naturally, these allies are trying to disengage and sever ties with the Demon Realm.
"We’re leaving!" The King of Hell, seeing the situation turning dire, decisively made a choice and waved his hand.
In the next moment, all the Demon Clan vanished instantly, completely taken away.
If they delayed any longer, all their subordinates would die here; it’s better to preserve strength and make plans for the future.
The scene suddenly emptied a lot, leaving only a few False Gods of the Clan of Light, a few survivors from the Barbarian God Cult, as well as Feng Angju and Xuanwu Xiong, these remaining allies of the Demon Clan.
They are not part of the Demon Clan, nor do they have any mental connection with the King of Hell, unable to be taken together, thus abandoned here.
"Damn! I risked my life for them, and they abandon me!" Seeing the Demon Clan retreat, Feng Angju was furious, jumping in rage. He had killed so many people from the Second World before; it was impossible to sever ties with the Demon Realm like the Moon Clan and Insect Race.
"These useless fools of the Demon Clan." Patriarch Sodoros’s face twisted, silently cursing in his heart.
They were sent by the Barbarian God to support the Demon Clan, aiming to eliminate Heaven-Sent Man and remove the biggest obstacle to the Barbarian God’s unification ambition.
Now they failed, and were abandoned by the Demon Clan.
When he came, he brought a large group of subordinates, with great momentum, but now only three False Gods remain by his side, suffering heavy losses.
"Brother Shashen! In the future, our Clan of Light will also sever ties with the Demon Clan!" At this moment, those few from the Clan of Light hurriedly spoke, with a tone of panic, the light on their bodies trembling intensely.
Most of them were already injured, with weak strength, absolutely impossible to escape, leaving only the path of surrender.
"You do not represent the Clan of Light!" Huang Yi shook his head, speaking without emotion: "Your only value is to be killed by us, serving as a warning to the Clan of Light. If the Clan of Light dares to have any dealings with the Demon Clan afterward, then there is no need for the Clan of Light to exist."
"Brother Shashen, I can represent the Barbarian God Cult! I declare that in the future, the Barbarian God Cult will have no connection with the Demon Clan!" At this moment, Patriarch Sodoros hurriedly spoke, his face full of smiles, trying to cozy up, "Brother Shashen’s wisdom is unparalleled, able to defeat even the Demon Clan; you are surely the future King of the Mortal Realm. We were confused this time, failing to see the situation. Please do not blame us, Brother Shashen. Back then, we fought side by side in Dragon Fall Valley in the First World, jointly eliminating a clone of the King of Hell. In the future, we should continue to fight side by side, raid the Demon Race Lair, and completely eradicate them!"
Patriarch Sodoros spoke fervently, seemingly wanting to form a solid alliance with Huang Yi.
Huang Yi nodded, looking towards the direction of the First World, said: "Back then, in the First World, we were indeed allies, jointly resisting the Demon Clan. But why did you not hold onto past affections? When the Demon Clan could not refine the Second World before, you suddenly arrived, forcibly extending the life of the Demon Clan, insistently wanting to refine the Second World. Now you’ve been defeated and suddenly remember our past friendship? Aren’t you disgusted with the words you just said?"
Patriarch Sodoros’s face froze, unseen to the disgrace given by Shashen.
Since reconciliation failed, he could only resort to threats.
His face turned cold, speaking sternly: "Shashen, you must consider carefully, we represent Lord Barbarian God’s will. Lord Barbarian God is about to unify the Demon Realm, and the Death God’s Temple only has a few little fish left, unable to withstand Lord Barbarian God. If you let us go now, Lord Barbarian God will consider giving the Death God’s Temple a path of survival, making it less difficult for you as the Reincarnation of the Death God. If you dare to attack us, then there’s no need for the Death God’s Temple to exist, and once you ascend to divine enthronement in the Heaven Realm, not only will you lose the support of the Death God’s Temple, but also face the wrath of Lord Barbarian God."
Saying this, Sodoros looked at the Second World, continuing: "Furthermore, once Lord Barbarian God unifies the Demon Realm, there are countless methods to interfere with the Mortal Realm, to erase the Second World. Not to mention anything else, the power of the First World alone is enough to give you a headache. Lord Barbarian God is the faith of everyone in the First World, and the First World is the leader of all worlds; you should be aware of our strength. I think, besides the Demon Clan, you wouldn’t want to provoke another stronger enemy!"
These words indeed had a deterrent effect.
Many Super First-Class masters began to ponder solemnly; although the Demon Clan was defeated, they were once the premier power in the Mortal Realm, and their remaining forces are still immensely terrifying. If added to the forces of Barbarian God, then the Second World’s current advantage would no longer exist.
However, Huang Yi’s expression did not change, directly shaking his head: "Since Barbarian God’s power is so formidable, we must cut his wings even more!"
Saying this, he suddenly raised the Slaughter Blade high, shouting sternly: "Everyone listens to orders, kill them all, not one shall remain!"
