Back to the video.

Just as the Herrscher of the Void was about to pierce Hua's heart with the Void Lance, world-burning flames suddenly lit up the sky.

Several sword phantoms descended from the clouds without warning, each one scorching molten-gold cracks into the Imaginary barrier.

"Who?!"

Feeling the scorching air around her, a trace of panic flashed through the Herrscher of the Void's eyes.

She sensed a power beyond that of a Herrscher descending upon her.

A sharp sound like shattering glass rang beside the Herrscher of the Void's ears. It was the Imaginary barrier under her control crying out in agony.

The instant Godfall Sword—Surtr came down, she actually took half a step back against her will.

"Who exactly are you..."

Her demand was drowned out by the deafening roar.

"Let go of her!!!"

With that furious bellow, the edge of the Godfall Sword suddenly surged in power.

Using the explosive thrust from the Crimson Knight Armor's overload, Ye Li transformed into a crimson streak of light that pierced heaven and earth.

He was here?

He was here!!!

Wuwuwu, my husband Ye Li was finally here!

Holy shit, I'm fired up!

Fuck, Li De—Ye Li, that entrance gave even a guy like me a physical reaction.

Hehehe~ Ye Li... husband... fuck me...

In the video, faced with the crimson radiance that blotted out the sky, the Herrscher of the Void could only avoid its edge for the moment.

Ye Li wrapped one arm around Hua as she fell from the air and safely set her down to the side.

A one-armed princess carry!!!

-swap Hua

My husband's arm is way too thick, I can't take it anymore!!!

That's insane. You can make a joke like that on this lousy road too?

"Hua, your injuries can't hold on any longer. Leave now. Leave the rest to me!"

"But you clearly also..."

Boom!

The ground suddenly exploded into a crater ten meters across as the Herrscher of the Void shot into the sky, wreathed in four-colored flames.

Countless Void Lances reassembled in the air, their densely packed tips aimed at where the two stood.

"Go!"

Ye Li pushed Hua away from his arms and swung the Godfall Sword one-handed, annihilating the incoming Void Lances.

"Trust me. I have a way."

The last image Hua saw was Ye Li holding the fiery greatsword as he gradually disappeared into the portal leading to Imaginary Space.

Listening to the spatial rift seal shut behind him, Ye Li raised a hand and wiped away the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Sensing its master's fighting spirit, flames rose from Godfall Sword—Surtr and illuminated his pale smile. "Now... it's time to settle the score."

Inside Imaginary Space.

The Herrscher of the Void descended from the sky, looking mockingly at the man before her.

Back then, when she had only just received the favor of the gods, she had not known how to properly wield a Herrscher's power.

As a result, she had been beaten badly by this man and that flat-chested woman from earlier.

But now, the tables had long since turned.

Sure enough, human strength had its limits!

As time passed, humans aged under the erosion of the years, but she, as an emissary of the gods, was different!

Therefore, throwing herself into the embrace of the gods had been the most correct decision she had ever made!

Sensing the weakness of the man before her, the Herrscher of the Void swelled with confidence.

Sure enough, that power beyond a Herrscher's had just been her imagination.

Or perhaps that power had been an attack this man could only unleash by burning his life away.

That made sense.

She had received divine blessings, while her opponent was merely a human.

How could a mere human possibly defeat her, an apostle of the gods?!

"Do you think you can truly escape judgment?"

The Herrscher of the Void looked disdainful. "Just wait. Once I deal with you, your companions will be next."

The moment she finished speaking, countless crystal clusters suddenly erupted throughout Imaginary Space.

The instant Ye Li swung his sword and shattered them, he felt intense spatial vibrations behind him.

Countless portals opened around him in an instant.

The Herrscher of the Void curled her fingertips with a savage grin, and the Void Lances within the portals pounced on him like biting venomous snakes.

Ye Li desperately swung the greatsword in his hand. The blazing edge of the Godfall Sword radiated in every direction, destroying tens of thousands of Void Lances in the air.

However, before Ye Li could even catch his breath, he suddenly felt the air around him turn murky.

Then came an immense pulling force from his chest.

Dragged by the Herrscher of the Void's power, Ye Li was flung onto a massive purple crystal like a puppet under someone else's control.

Bang!

The crisp sound of bones breaking was especially piercing in the space, making everyone in the real world break out in cold sweat for Ye Li.

They truly had not expected the gap between the two sides to be so enormous.

Watching Ye Li's tragic figure in the video, everyone could not bear to look.

"Struggle with all you have!"

Hatred gleamed in the Herrscher of the Void's eyes as she moved her fingers.

At the same time, the massive purple crystal encasing Ye Li's body began to rotate like a Rubik's Cube.

Seeing this, everyone before the screen sucked in a sharp breath.

When they saw the Herrscher of the Void shatter the purple crystal cluster encasing Ye Li into pieces as though she were toying with him, everyone felt unbearably stifled.

No way, bro!

Wasn't everything fine just now? How did the situation take such a sudden turn?!

Wuwuwu, Prison Ye! My Prison Ye!

From earlier, we could tell that Ye Li's new armor was indeed powerful, but it also put a huge burden on his body.

I thought Otto had changed for the better and had actually given Ye Li a set of armor for free. Looks like he was up to no good after all!!!

Otto, go die a hundred times!!!

As the dust settled, the Herrscher of the Void looked at the enormous crater before her, contemptuously withdrew the Void Lance, and turned to leave.

"Hmph~ So that was all you could do..."

As the screen gradually darkened, the hearts of those in the real world sank with it.

Suddenly, just when everyone thought it was over, the image abruptly shifted.

Accompanied by a flash of golden light, a red greatsword flew toward the Herrscher of the Void.

Hearing the sound of air tearing behind her, the Herrscher of the Void turned around in surprise.

Herrscher of the Void:!!!

Seeing the greatsword only a hair's breadth from her forehead, her intense desire to survive made her hurriedly use her Herrscher power to transfer it away.

The greatsword passed through the Imaginary Gate, and with a deafening bang!, it viciously embedded itself in a stone monument in the distance.

That heart-stopping scene made even the Herrscher of the Void's breathing grow heavier.

Even more unexpectedly, she heard that man's labored breathing.

The sound of metal scraping came from deep within the ruins. Covered in blood, Ye Li slowly rose from the rubble, using the Godfall Sword for support.

Only half of the Crimson Knight Armor remained hanging from his body. Three broken ribs could be seen piercing through the skin of his bare chest, yet the hand gripping the sword hilt remained as steady as a rock.

His steps were very slow, but they placed immense pressure on the Herrscher of the Void.

As Ye Li slowly approached, the video appropriately began playing BGM titled "NightgLow."

"Are you done attacking? Now it's my turn. No objections, right?"

After seeing this scene, every netizen in the real world was moved, and the barrage comments on the screen began scrolling rapidly.

Husband! sobbing!!!

Stop fighting, please stop fighting, wuwuwu!

It's too tragic! This BGM is really stirring things up!

Can Ye Li win?

Prison Ye: He will win!
