"Aaaargh!"
Miserable screams echoed continuously from within the prison, making the jailers standing guard outside shudder with fear.
"That guy won't be played to death, will he?"
"Don't worry, Enma knows what he's doing, he knows where to draw the line."
"Hmph! Serves him right for being so arrogant, actually claiming to be the Warden's father."
"Exactly, I'm the one who's the Warden's father."
"Hahaha! Then I'm his father. That guy only knows how to hog everything for himself, never thinking to show us some filial respect."
...
Inside the prison, King sat calmly on a pile of straw while a row of figures knelt before him.
"Big brother, we didn't know your strength was so great. We apologize for the offense."
"We were blind. Whatever you want to know, we will tell you everything without reservation."
"Being the Warden's father is beneath your talents. In my opinion, you should be his grandfather."
Several prisoners could see the fear in each other's eyes. This newly arrived member of the Sky Tribe was simply too terrifying.
The strongest among them was Enma. It was said that before he was imprisoned, he had slaughtered his master's entire family with extreme cruelty, crushing every bone in their bodies and torturing them to death. Later, it took several experts from the Sky Tribe working together to capture him.
He had originally been sentenced to death,
but unexpectedly, Enma caught the Warden's eye. The Warden attempted to subdue him, which is why he had remained in this prison.
Every time the Warden encountered a reckless newcomer who didn't know their place, he would throw them into the death cell for Enma to cruelly torture until they had only one breath left.
Today, however, Enma had kicked a steel plate. The same methods were now being used on his own body.
Like a demon, King had followed suit after hearing Enma recount his history of murder. He crushed his bones inch by inch, leaving him with only a single breath, slumped on the ground like a pile of mud.
The remaining guys were obedient, kneeling before King.
"Do you know about the Brave Association?" King didn't beat around the bush.
Those who stayed here had either committed heinous crimes or were branded as heretics. Someone among them must have had contact with the Brave Association, which was his purpose for coming here.
"We know, of course we know. The Brave Association opposes the Church and has always been a thorn in the side of the Lord of Sky Domain. He has gathered armies to wipe them out many times, but they've never been completely eradicated." The burly Fenrir was all smiles.
He was due to be executed in a few days, and now he was looking forward to that moment immensely. Staying in a cell with King was truly nerve-wracking.
"Then do you know the specific location of the Brave Association?" King asked.
"That's unclear. Because they've been suppressed many times, the Brave Association's location is always changing. Even the Church can't find them."
"Is that so? That's a pity." King shook his head with regret as a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
Crack, crack, crack!
The sound of bones shattering rang out as Fenrir was compressed into a puddle of flesh.
"Then do you know?"
King had a smile on his face, but in the eyes of the remaining people, he was more terrifying than a devil.
"I... I know..." Ymir said.
It was said that before Ymir went to prison, he had killed dozens of Church members and even attacked the Church because he was unwilling to be ruled by the Church's ideology.
"Let's hear it." King's eyes lit up.
Ymir's goals could be said to align with the Brave Association, and his strength was at least at Mid Dragon level. The Brave Association had likely contacted him.
"This is a Dimensional Stone I obtained in the past." Ymir gritted his teeth.
The Warden had already privately promised to commute his death sentence, and he didn't want to die at King's hands now.
"You actually have something like this?"
King took the Dimensional Stone to examine it and found that it indeed belonged to the Brave Association, identical to the one Ivery had shown before.
"I obtained it by chance."
"By chance?"
The corners of King's lips curled up slightly as an extremely strong aura crushed down toward Ymir.
"Don't... don't kill me, I'll talk! The Brave Association once sent someone to contact me, and I slaughtered that Brave. This stone was his." Ymir trembled with fear and hurried to tell the whole truth.
However, King's aura did not withdraw. Instead, it gradually intensified.
"I've told you everything I know, don't kill me!" Ymir pleaded hysterically, but killing intent surfaced in King's eyes.
"Let me tell you a secret: I am a member of the Brave Association." A faint voice sounded in Ymir's ear.
His pupils constricted, and his eyes revealed extreme terror.
Thud!
Ymir collapsed to the ground, and the remaining few people trembled even more violently with fear.
King questioned them for a long time. The remaining people truly knew nothing about the Brave Association, so he didn't continue his killing spree.
"I am very satisfied with your performance. As a reward, I will lead you to a path of freedom."
Before the prisoners could react, a deafening roar sounded. King's body was enveloped in a blue barrier as he charged toward the top of the prison.
Boom!
An explosion rang out as the ceiling of the prison was smashed through, and the surrounding barriers were all shattered.
'Through this Dimensional Stone, I should be able to find the location of the Brave Association.' King floated in the sky above the city, thinking to himself.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At this moment, dozens of auras from all directions were rapidly sweeping toward him, clearly having discovered King.
"Bold! Who dares to be so insolent in the Sky Domain!"
"It seems to be a heretic who escaped from the prison!"
"Execute him on the spot to show others the consequences of resisting the Church."
Boom, boom, boom!
Dozens of attacks swept in like a tidal wave, but King didn't care at all.
Second Layer Liberation! Ten Thousand Punch Barrage!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Tens thousand punches fell, blasting all the arriving people into ashes, and even the prison below was completely destroyed.
"Impudent!!!"
A massive aura descended.
King's eyes lit up, the one descending this time was actually a God's agent.
'Forget it, now is not the time to be entangled with them.'
King thought of the Lord of Sky Domain and decided it was better to avoid a confrontation for now. If things got too loud, the Church's focus would all be concentrated on him. Eventually, it was very likely the Lord of Sky Domain would take action. He did not yet have full confidence in fighting him.
"Don't think you can escape!"
Rumble!
An energy ball containing vast Divine Power shot forth.
King gathered energy in his palm.
Third Layer Liberation! Limit-Breaking Fist!
Boom!
The punch pierced through the God's agent's body, and then the shockwave formed a deep trench in the city, splitting the entire city in two.
"This... this is impossible!"
The God's agent felt the life force within his body rapidly draining away before finally falling from the sky.
"Oh no! Lord God's agent has fallen!"
"Just who is he?"
The city fell into silence.
King turned and left, but this time, no one dared to pursue him.
"Boss, should we keep chasing?"
"Chase my ass! Didn't you see the God's agent was just insta-killed?"
"Report this to Lord Divine Emissary immediately!"
"But how should we say it..."
"Just say the Church's God's agent was besieged by tens of thousands of people, resisted to the death, killed over a thousand enemies, and finally met an unfortunate end."
