Outside the Gate of Hell, there were still many professionals gathered.
They tried various ways to force their way into the Gate of Hell, but all attempts ended in failure.
Upon arriving outside the Gate of Hell, Ouyang Ling'er pondered, "I heard this Gate of Hell has been upgraded. Except for the sole host or those authorized by the host, no one can enter."
"President, why did you bring us here? We can't even get in."
Zhang Yue raised the Death's Eye, consuming 40% of its Demon Blood purity to authorize Lin Tian, Wu Haotian, Ning Tiantian, and Ouyang Ling'er one by one.
Then he said to Ouyang Ling'er, "I am the host."
After speaking, Zhang Yue stepped into the Gate of Hell.
[Ding~ The host of the Death's Eye is allowed to enter the Gate of Hell]
Watching Zhang Yue disappear into the Gate of Hell, the scattered professionals outside were stunned.
"Whoa! The host of the Gate of Hell is Zero?"
At this moment, Ouyang Ling'er sighed, "I should've asked the boss to authorize me earlier."
A passerby sneered, "Tch, do you think the boss is yours? You think he'll authorize you just because you ask? Who do you think you are?"
"Exactly!" Ouyang Ling'er smiled proudly, "The boss is mine."
With that, Ouyang Ling'er and Lin Tian, now authorized, followed Zhang Yue into the Gate of Hell.
Only the dumbfounded bystanders remained outside.
After entering the Gate of Hell, the scene before them was drastically different from before.
What appeared was a city bathed in a sky of blood-red light, resembling a literal hell.
Blood-red demons, as if skinned alive, roamed the city.
At the same time, a voice suddenly echoed near their ears:
"The God of Death, Kira, once led the Blood Demon Legion to sweep through this city until they were defeated by the human royal guards from the Dawn Sanctuary. Kira's body was divided into seven parts and scattered throughout this Hell City. The Blood Demon Legion under Kira's command was also sealed here."
Following the voice, they saw a human soldier in black armor appearing in their sight.
Before Zhang Yue and the others could speak, the soldier introduced himself, "I am Kai, once the leader of the human royal guards against the God of Death, and the only survivor of the guards."
"God of Death... Kira?" Wu Haotian pondered, "Then, could that Gatekeeper of Hell, Bigoas, just be one of the subordinates of the God of Death?"
"Indeed," Kai said gravely, "The Gatekeeper of Hell serves under the God of Death."
Ouyang Ling'er exclaimed, "A mere subordinate is already a level 40 five-star boss. Wouldn't the God of Death be at least six stars or higher?"
Kai noticed the Death's Eye in Zhang Yue's hand and understood that he was the only one capable of truly defeating the God of Death. He addressed Zhang Yue:
"The Death's Eye in your hand is a transformation of the God of Death's eye. The other six parts of the God of Death are scattered throughout this Hell City. Find them, revive the God of Death, and kill it to seal the Gate of Hell permanently."
As soon as Kai finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Zhang Yue's ears—
[Ding~ Congratulations on triggering the unique hidden quest exclusive to the special equipment [Death's Eye]: [Death Terminator]. Would you like to accept the quest?]
So this was the true exclusive hidden mission of the Death's Eye.
Without hesitation, Zhang Yue accepted the quest.
[Death Terminator] (Unique Hidden Quest)
[Difficulty Level: 700]
[Description: The God of Death, Kira, was defeated by the human royal guards but never truly died. Follow the guidance of the Death's Eye to locate the other six parts of the God of Death's body in Hell City. Revive the God of Death and kill it permanently.]
[Quest Progress: 0/1 (God of Death, Kira)]
[Quest Time Limit: 3 Days]
[Quest Rewards: Experience +3,000,000 | Gold Coins +500 | Rare Energy +1,000,000 | Rare Skill Book x1 | Rare Pet Egg x5 | Death God Set (excluding the weapon Death's Eye, unique set) +1]
[Failure Penalty: Level -3, Death's Eye Equipment Recovery]
The rewards were truly tempting.
500 gold coins alone equaled three million in cash.
With 1,000,000 rare energy combined with the ten-thousand-fold amplification and a 5% extraction rate under the Demon Contract, they could gain five billion rare energy—a huge power-up for Lin Tian and the others.
Plus, five rare pet eggs could evolve either the Dark Skeleton King or the Apocalypse Black Dragon into an epic-level pet.
Most importantly, the Death God Set—exclusive and unique—would make Zhang Yue the only player in the entire alternate world possessing this legendary equipment.
However, the quest failure penalty was equally harsh.
Losing three levels was already bad enough, but they also threatened to reclaim the Death's Eye.
But for Zhang Yue, failure wasn't an option.
Closing the quest interface, Zhang Yue immediately began the quest.
At this moment, the [Demon: Death's Eye] in his hand emitted a red glow, seemingly guiding him.
Following its lead, Zhang Yue and his team headed southeast toward Hell City.
Along the way, countless level-40 [Demons] came out to intercept them.
For Zhang Yue, whose strength could already dominate the Fifth World, even these top-tier level-40 demons were like tofu, easily crushed.
The system notifications kept echoing in his ears—
[Ding~ You killed a Level-40 Demon. Experience +400 (Team Bonus +50%, Map Bonus +30%), Rare Energy +200 (Map Bonus +400%)]
[Ding~ You killed a Level-40 Demon. Experience +400, Rare Energy +200]
Noticing the high gains, Ouyang Ling'er exclaimed, "Experience here is 30% higher, and rare energy is quadrupled."
Wu Haotian added, "Otherwise, why do you think only authorized players can enter?"
Not only that, but the coin, gear, and material drop rates were also far higher than outside, including ultra-rare four-star Dark Set gear.
The team was thrilled.
After killing several demons, Zhang Yue's [Demon Contract] ring emitted a golden light, and another system notification rang out—
[Ding~ Congratulations! You completed the [Demon Contract] exclusive upgrade quest. Your item [Demon Contract] has upgraded from Normal to Elite quality]
[Ding~ Demon Contract has gained the enhanced effect [Energy Contract] and unlocked the new effect [Experience Contract]]
[Ding~ Elite-to-Rare Upgrade Quest for the Demon Contract has been unlocked]
