The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 524 - Meeting Night Terror

Han Wu chuckled. He had been waiting for one of them to talk to him.

“Sure,” he agreed. “Open your mouth.”

The inmate opened his mouth wide for Han Wu to toss food in. A delicious piece of meat landed on the inmate’s tongue, and he couldn’t help but shed tears at the flavor.

The other inmates, aware of this inmate’s background, pitied him for being imprisoned despite his innocence. The inmate had awakened with the dark attribute—the main energy of the Demon Civilization—and was branded as a spy.

He was subsequently locked here. That was seven years ago.

Once this first inmate got a taste, the others hastily clamored to get some too. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much in the mealbox, and it didn’t take long for it to empty.

Han Wu, having fostered this goodwill with the inmates, started fishing for information about the angels and demons.

The inmates naturally reciprocated, sharing whatever they knew. Han Wu gained a lot of information in this manner.

Finally, he asked, “Do you guys know where Night Terror is?” 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The inmates fell quiet. No one dared to speak. They were all aware of Night Terror’s infamy, having struck down numerous angels in the past.

In acknowledgement of his strength, the Demon Civilization had even granted him a battalion. Unfortunately, no one knew where he was or what he looked like. Some even claimed that Night Terror was a fictitious creation of the Demon Civilization.

Han Wu fell into a disappointed quiet.

At that moment, an old inmate in the neighboring cell asked, “Young man, why are you looking for Night Terror?”

“I want to get a transit permit from him to travel through the Demon Civilization.”

The old inmate sighed, as if worried for Han Wu’s tumultuous future. “The Demon Civilization isn’t as cooperative as you might imagine. Even if Night Terror gave you a transit permit, you wouldn’t be able to travel freely.”

Han Wu, though crestfallen, continued to press, “Since you answered me, that must mean you know where Night Terror is.”

“I do know where he is,” the old inmate replied with a wry smile. “Because I am Night Terror.”

Han Wu almost spat his water out. The old inmate had gone senile from his extended stay at the prison.

The old inmate squinted. “Don’t believe me?”

“Night Terror is a legend amongst demons. How could he be here?”

The old inmate chuckled. “The most dangerous place is also the safest one.”

Han Wu had to repress his incredulous laughter at the statement.

Despite knowing that Han Wu was mocking him, the old man didn’t respond with anger, merely gesturing for Han Wu to get closer.

Han Wu obediently scooted over.

The old man’s hands slipped through the bars, grabbed Han Wu’s cuffs, and squeezed tightly.

A loud crack echoed as the cuffs snapped, falling to the ground in pieces.

Han Wu was stunned. Even as a peak King life form, he couldn’t break the cuffs. How could the old inmate crush it like tofu?

“Now do you believe me?” the old man asked with a smirk.

Han Wu nodded vehemently. Moving his arms a little, he channeled some Divine Points to retrieve the item that Xu Hai had given to him from his divine realm.

Night Terror grew serious when he saw it.

“Who are you to Xu Hai?”

Han Wu was thrilled at this fortunate turn of events.

“Xu Hai is my mentor, and I’m his student. I’m here for a mission...” he explained, going on to detail his mission.

Night Terror frowned. The Holy War between the Angel Civilization and the Demon Civilization was fierce, and camps from both sides littered the battlefield. Moreover, not everyone from the same faction got along well with each other.

Some demons respected Night Terror and would let him pass, but others hated him and could even kill the person holding onto Night Terror’s emblem.

Worse still, Han Wu had to deal not only with the demons but also the angels. Not to mention, Han Wu was stuck in prison and had to first get out.

It was already a headache thinking about how to escape the angels’ base camp, much less trying to get the shipment of Angel Elixirs. However, regardless of the seeming impossibility of the task, Han Wu had no choice.

If he wanted to protect Jiang Ming, he had to deliver those Angel Elixirs back to the Imperial College.

Night Terror sensed Han Wu’s determination and stopped trying to dissuade him. Condensing Dark Energy into the shape of a black fang, he handed it to Han Wu.

This was Night Terror’s emblem. Any demons who saw it had to treat its carrier as Night Terror himself.

His subordinates considered this rule iron-clad, but the same couldn’t be guaranteed outside of the sixth battlefront. Nevertheless, Han Wu was overjoyed at obtaining the emblem. This essentially marked the halfway point of his mission.

All he needed to do now was head to the Angel Civilization and find the shipment of Angel Elixir. But there was another issue he had to deal with first.

The lies he had fabricated would undoubtedly be revealed soon enough, and the Archangel would likely send someone to punish him before dawn.

Without the cuffs limiting him, he could try to break out of the prison, but there was still the army of light attribute life forms outside to contend with. Even if he escaped, he would be brought back within minutes. It seemed futile!

Han Wu carefully ruminated on his plan of action.

Glancing at Night Terror, an idea came to mind.

“Old—” Han Wu corrected himself. “Senior, could you give me your hand for a moment? Let me touch you a little.”

Night Terror’s eyes widened. What the heck? Is Xu Hai’s student so perverted that he won’t even let an old man go?
