the last king of darkness

Chapter 181 The Great Hero Arrives

"what?"

Rhodes was in a hurry.

"Why? How could it be so fast?"

Theodore smiled and said, "Your dream is in a hurry. It has noticed my abnormal existence and is eager to correct this mistake."

Rhodes was startled: "What do you mean? How to fix it?"

Theodore turned his head slightly, and Rhode followed his gaze.

In the distance of the dream, on the white marble-like square, there is a pure white statue being formed, and a light mist surrounds it, as if celebrating its new life.

"what is this?"

Theodore said softly: "It's a soul statue, it will record everything about a soul, its spirit, its soul, its past, its joys and anger, its love and hatred, and then it will constitute its The source wave is released into this world to restore the original existence."

Rhodes didn't understand a word, but he immediately remembered that the square was a building that appeared after obtaining the fragments a few days ago.

【Eternal Statue】

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "What happened after you became a statue? Can you come back?"

Theodore smiled and said: "The statue is just an anchor point, a record, and its name couldn't be more vivid. [Statue]—a carved portrait, only represents the traces of my existence. However, I seem to be able to make a Small changes."

Rhodes was surprised: "What change? Can you change the dream?"

"The existence of the dream is beyond your imagination, and it is impossible for me to modify it, but I am a part of the dream, and a lot of information about the dream is open to me. I found some of the [Eternal Statue] The traces of previous changes can make it return to the previous state."

Rhodes was dizzy and asked hesitantly: "You mean... the dream is man-made? The [Eternal Statue] has been modified many times?"

Theodore showed a mysterious smile, shook his head slightly, and did not speak.

Rhodes knew that he couldn't tell the secret of the dream, so he changed the direction and asked, "Then what's the use of it after you modify it?"

"There is a very small possibility that the source wave of the soul will collapse back to its anchor point due to some factors... In other words, you may be able to summon me through the statue, but please note that this hope is very slim."

"Especially for a special soul like mine, the probability of success is infinitely close to zero. Don't put your hopes on it, otherwise you will only face a double blow of despair and failure."

Theodore looked at him gravely.

"The period before I completely become a statue is our last chance. We must rush to support the battlefield and restore as many strongholds as possible. It is best to kill the abyss snake and end this disaster."

Rhodes cheered up all of a sudden: "Yes, that's right! I'll hurry to light the stars! Then I'll go support them!"

The long-selected [Spiritual Elegy] is a star that can provide a huge amount of spiritual power, and it must be ignited, otherwise his current spiritual power will not be able to support Theodore's long-term battle.

Theodore showed an appreciative smile: "Good boy, you are indeed Kashan's favorite."

Rhodes quickly took down [Soul of Twilight Calamity] [Soul of Queen Sigles] and [Soul of Abyss Troll] from the soul altar, and asked casually, "What does this have to do with her?"

Theodore said with a smile: "Little Kashan is Kashan's great-granddaughter, which proves that our eyes are the same."

"What gaze?"

Rhodes took out 1000 copies of spirituality from the storage, and there were 1361 copies left, which was enough.

"Kasan likes you? Did you marry her? What's the relationship between little Kassan and you now?"

"No, I was obsessed with spells and didn't respond. She married someone else."

"it's a pity."

Rhodes replied casually, and glanced at his soulless soul, there were only 103222 copies, and the ignition conditions for [Elegy of the Spirit] were [3 copies of source souls, 150000 soulless souls, and 1000 copies of spirituality].

Rub, Spiritless Soul is not enough.

"Enough." Theodore told him: "These three souls are strong, and their overflow will replenish the missing spiritless soul."

"Oh, all right."

Rhodes quickly came to the obelisk, touched the surface of the obelisk with his forehead, and entered the wilderness of the soul.

He quickly found the ashes of [Elegy of the Spirit], which was a very large group of ashes.

From the point of view of form, its strength is extremely high, and its demand is also very high.

Rhodes added three groups of souls, 1000 parts of spirituality, and 100000 parts of soulless souls.

Due to the large amount of material, the process of adding is a bit lengthy.

At this time, Theodore's voice came from outside the wasteland.

"There is a ring in my robe. It is a piece of soul equipment. It contains Kashan's soul traits. When you return to the king's city, please give it to little Kashan. It is her relic."

"Okay... Chief Dean, I want to ask you something, I hope you don't mind... Well, why did you touch that woman's chest?"

There was some surprise in Theodore's voice.

"Little Rhodes, I don't know what happened. During the summoning, I was unconscious most of the time in the dream, and you gained my abilities, memories, characteristics, everything except the power of the soul body, They have become your instincts, and all your actions are instincts..."

"Well, it's your instinct, I know."

There was a hint of a smile in Theodore's voice.

"But little Rhodes, you have to understand that you can control your body beyond instinct, but you didn't do it..."

"Wow! The fire is really burning!"

Rhodes quickly poured the last portion of Spiritless Soul into it, and the flames of [Elegy of the Spirit] really shot up into the sky.

These three souls are really strong.

Rhodes looked up, and under the blue-gray flames, a line of text emerged.

【Elegy of the Spirit】

[Status: weak burning]

【Star Power: None】

[Injection: Spiritless Soul]

【Tim Huo: Human Nature】

【Quantified: not available】

【Position: Dark Fire】

[Strength: 1508]

[Description: She has passed away, but her soul is still there]

-

"Chief Dean, your judgment is really accurate. Is this what the dream told you?"

"Yes, unfortunately I can only tell you part of the specific methods used."

Looking at the [Elegy of the Spirit] flames that were taller than his whole body, Rhodes couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

It has no star power, but its initial strength has reached 1508, far exceeding other stars.

It is indeed one of the most suitable stars for me selected by the book of knowledge.

Rhodes quickly left the Soul Wasteland, came to the hut, and made [Soul Firewood].

Now, it is not difficult to make it at all, and its material does not have any pressure on Rhodes.

Except divinity.

This is the only problem.

A piece of [Soul Firewood] needs a piece of divinity, which is 10 points.

Now, his divinity is only 6 points left, what about the soul fuel for the next star?
Rhodes was a little worried, but he didn't think much, and quickly returned to the wasteland, and put the soul firewood in it.

[Elegy of the Spirit] The fire light trembled slightly, then stabilized.

However, a line of text appeared on it: "[Elegy of the Spirit] requires two pieces of soul firewood."

wipe!
There is something wrong?

Rhodes was extremely depressed, but he couldn't make a second copy now, so he could only start sacrificing souls.

These are the souls he has saved for a long time, there are thousands of them, except for those necessary to keep, all sacrificed in one go, and obtained 16 spiritless souls and 3611 spirituality.

To Rhode's surprise, 16 spiritless souls were put into it, and the state of [Elegy of the Spirit] just jumped from "Weak Burning" to "Blazing Burning", and the intensity only went from 1508 to 3010.
Rhodes knew that the bigger the star, the higher the demand, but [Elegy of the Spirit] was too high.

How many souls would it take to elevate it to its final state of perfection?Its final strength, probably tens of thousands, right?

However, Rhodes' soul strength also more than doubled directly, from 2430 to 5440 in one breath.
According to his understanding, the improvement of soul strength to psionic power is even in all aspects, while his soul strength was 2430 before, and his psionic power was exactly 4.1 thousand cuts.

According to this ratio conversion, his current psychic strength should exceed 9.1 thousand ticks.

Rhodes clenched his fists, surging spiritual energy surged through his body, and the powerful force pushed his spirit, and he even felt a little uncontrollable.

Hmm... I will upgrade my psionic power when I go back, and I have finally stepped into the ranks of fourth-order psionic power.

During this time, Theodore was not idle either. He told Rhode in detail how to observe the external environment in the dream, how to directly enter the dream through meditation, and most importantly, how to use the prayer ceremony to make the larger Items sent to or from the dream.

These are the contents that Rhodes urgently needs but is missing from the Book of Knowledge.

It is worth mentioning that Theodore also clearly told him that Dream Language is actually the language of God, which is said to be the oldest language created by God.

As for the existence of gods, Theodore told him directly: "Yes, Wangcheng denies the existence of gods to prevent people from praying to them."

"Why? Is it bad to pray? At best there is no response..."

"Do not."

Theodore looked at Rhodes seriously.

"Any prayer directed at God will only get a distorted, crazy, polluted, and malicious response, and no response is the best outcome."

"No matter what ritual is used, no matter what ritual is changed, whether you pray to the sun, the moon, the stars, the fire, or the light, justice, salvation, etc., the positive theocratic realm."

Rhodes was surprised: "Then why did Wangcheng lie to us? Can't you just explain it clearly?"

Theodore said softly: "Little Rhodes, you have to understand that it is incomprehensible what people can do in despair, the words 'in case' and 'possible' will whisper in your heart like a devil, and finally force you You have done irreversible things. After countless blood lessons, we have summed up an experience-to completely cut off the possibility and seal all knowledge is the best choice."

"Then the existence of doomsday believers is very dangerous?"

"Yes, so we strictly control any spiritual substances and forbid any mysterious knowledge to spread outside. Of course, the ultimate way is to completely eradicate them."

"That's right, that's what I thought too, we must kill them all."

Theodore laughed and said, "It's not enough to kill them all, but also to put an end to the soil they produced."

"How to prevent it?"

"Bigger living space and better living conditions are more like a person's living needs."

"The environment in the outer city is really bad..."

Theodore said softly: "You haven't seen the really bad ones. You can go and see the slums in the east and southeast. That's the hotbed of doomsday cultists."

Rhodes silently remembered his words, and suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.

"Headmaster, if only you could stay with me all the time..."

Theodore smiled and said: "Little Rhodes, the encounter only shines for a short time, I am very grateful to you, do you know? My life is actually terrible. I once thought I was the savior, and I will hold up Troy with one hand. Oh Rian, I didn't know how weak my power is until Cassan died in my arms, I can't even save the person I love the most, who else can I save?"

"Later, I became the dean of Kingworth. I wanted to cultivate more strong people and find a real savior, but I also failed. The three branch deans did better than me, but they gave the honor to me. In person, I am just a person who cheats my reputation."

"In my later years, the amnesia, loss of control and madness brought about by the erosion of darkness plagued me all the time. Many times I was like a living corpse. My soul had already died in the fierce battle 100 years ago, leaving only the corpse alive."

"It wasn't until the very end of my life that I got rid of it all and regained my sanity."

"This is the best time, and I'm doing something bigger than all my lives put together, you know? In this hopeless world, hope is as precious as gold, and you gave There is nothing better than this hope of mine."

Theodore looked at him with twinkling eyes, his eyes full of smiles and expectations.

"Little Rhodes, let's go."

"Today, Trorian is welcoming his great hero."
