the last king of darkness

Chapter 196 The Ancient God Invasion
Rhode's whole body was about to split open.

What the hell is an ancient god?

Chief Dean, are you kidding me?

Rhode's whole heart was cold, and the cold blood spread throughout his body.

He read it several times to make sure there were no mistakes in translation or understanding, and combined with the previous warning message, he confirmed that it was literal.

The next intruder is the ancient god.

The time of its arrival is unknown.

Rhodes forced himself to calm down.

Now it seems that the dream must be some kind of "independent space" in the spirit world.

"Quantitated" will make this space have an impact on the spiritual world.

The "river of eternal death" is obviously an area of ​​the spirit world.

And the disturbance of the dream awakened the ancient god sleeping in the "River of Eternal Death".

It has locked onto the dreamland and is about to invade it.

Based on this guess, there are two possibilities.

The first is that the chief dean does not know that "quantification" will trigger such a chain reaction, which will lead to tragedy.

The second is that the chief dean knows this, but he thinks that Rhodes can avoid this tragedy in some way.

Rhodes tends to the second possibility.

With the profound knowledge and wisdom of the chief dean, it is impossible not to be ignorant of this point.

That is to say, then, I have some way of avoiding the invasion of the Old Gods, and even defeating the Old Gods to gain unimaginable benefits.

Once he opened his mind, countless ideas came to him one after another. The most important one was that he deduced from the information of the previous invasion that this ancient god might have lost most of his power over the long years and became very weak.

As soon as he enters the dreamland, he will be blown away by his [Psionic Sextet].

The more Rhodes thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility.

That's right, it must be like this, the chief dean's judgment cannot be wrong.

I want to quickly adjust myself to the strongest state, blow up the ancient god, and plunder its complete soul.

Rhodes immediately turned his head and jumped onto the soul altar.

Today's soul altar is no longer empty. The big hand representing the eye of the soul, the sickle representing the critical strike of the soul, and the crystal wall representing the seal of the soul are all neatly arranged on the altar.

The soul is no longer floating above the altar, but is sealed in the crystal wall.

Although Theodore didn't kill all the monsters in the possessed state, relying more on the strength of his teammates to win, but the occasional kill also made him gain a lot.

In the ensuing battle, he threw away all the thunderstones and killed many monsters.

At a glance, the crystal wall is filled with souls.

530 [Souls of Sigris Corrupted Snakeman], 22 [Souls of Bloodthirsty Beasts], 201 [Souls of Sigles Reptiles], and hundreds of various scattered monsters, large and small .

The biggest one of them is naturally the soul of the big snake.

[Soul of the Abyss Serpent Premus]

【very powerful soul】

【Have three sources】

[The abyss serpent Premus is one of the many descendants of ancient Ross. He blindly pursued power and finally became the incarnation of the abyss. 】

Rhodes' eyes widened all of a sudden.

Three sources?
A soul has three sources?

Then can't I ignite the next star now?
Without further ado, the invasion could come at any moment.

Rhodes did what he said.

The next star has already been decided, it is [God's Sense].

To ignite it requires three Primal Souls, 100000 Spiritless Souls, and 1500 Spirituality.

No problem, all conditions are met.

Rhodes immediately entered the soul wilderness, and threw the soul of the abyss serpent and 1500 spirits into the ashes of the bonfire.

But no spiritless souls were added.

He remembered very clearly that the chief dean said that if the soul is strong enough, it can make up for this part of the demand.

Sure enough, the soul of the abyss serpent did not live up to his expectations, and the bonfire burned directly.

He didn't add any of the 10 spiritless souls.

The chief dean is mighty!
Rhodes smiled and became more convinced of his judgment.

Pale flames rose before his eyes, and a new star was ignited like this.

Rhodes is already very proficient in this process.

【Sense of God】

[Status: weak burning]

【Star Energy: Inspiration】

[Injection: Spiritless Soul]

【Tim Huo: Human Nature】

【Quantified: not available】

【Position: Dark Fire】

[Strength: 500]

[Description: Every day without dancing is a disappointment to life]

-

With an initial strength of 500, this is a very powerful star.

But now, Rhodes doesn't particularly care, after all, his soul strength has already exceeded [-].

[Inspiration]: Gain more insights during the process of practice.

Not bad.

It can speed up my learning. Those who have bullied me, wait to be rubbed under me.

Haha.

Rhodes showed an excited smile, and sacrificed all the souls in the crystal wall, and obtained a total of 31 spiritless souls, 1650 spirituality, and some remaining soul dregs.

Together with the previous 5 soulless souls, he has a total of 36 soulless souls.

This is an unprecedented huge sum of money. He has gained countless money in this battle, and he has already made a lot of money.

Rhodes was full of spirits, and quickly injected the spiritless soul into the stars.

The flame of [Sense of God] expanded rapidly, and the state went from "weak burning" to "extreme burning", and the intensity jumped from 500 to 2500.
A total of 15 spiritless souls were used, a ratio of about 1:75.

In terms of efficiency, it is much higher than [Elegy of the Spirit], but the upper limit is not as high as it.

After reaching the "limit burning", [soul firewood] is needed to increase the "position" of the stars, otherwise there is no way to add more fire.

Now the material of [Soul Firewood] is not difficult for Rhodes, what is difficult is "divinity".

Making [Soul Firewood] requires a piece of divinity, which is 10 points, but Rhodes only has 6 points now.

So the strengthening of this star can only stop here temporarily.

Rhodes injected all the remaining 21 spiritless souls into [Elegy of the Spirit].

This is a super star specially used to enhance psionic energy. Its upper limit is terribly high, and its energy consumption is also terribly high.

After adding so many soulless souls, its state is just from "blazing burning" to "excessive burning", and its strength is only from 3010 to 5015.

The ratio is about 1:110.

The larger the star, the higher the ratio.

So the best strategy is to fill up the small stars first, and then upgrade the big ones.

But Rhodes lacks [soul firewood] now, so he can only do this.

After some operations, Rhodes looked at the number on the top of the obelisk.

Soul Strength: 15415
Soul Stars: 6
Humanity: 41055
Divinity: 6
Spiritless Soul: 0
-

Looking at the strength of the soul that has far exceeded the original, Rhodes smiled from ear to ear.

Inferred according to the previous ratio, his psionic energy at this moment has reached about 26 thousand quarters.

It finally feels a little bit upscale.

Haha, Ancient God, come on, watch how I crush you!
boom!
The dream trembled.

Immediately afterwards, the entire sky turned black, and the tumbling mist in the distance turned into dazzling red clouds.

A shadow was approaching him from the red cloud.

The "omen face" of the obelisk turned red instantly, and the blood-red text flashed rapidly on the surface of the obelisk.

Invade!

Invade!

Invade!

The dead soul returns to silence, the ancient god arrives!
Everything perishes, but spiritual energy lasts forever!
-

what?
isn't it?
I'm just talking, I'm not ready yet!

The shadow in the red cloud is getting bigger and bigger, and a huge oval object can be vaguely seen.

It is like a half-open shell, inside which are countless intertwined organs, a beating heart, a wriggling stomach pouch, and huge intestine-like tentacles protruding from the shell, replacing its legs and hands.

Rhodes didn't have time to prepare, so he could only quickly crush some wooden puppets, let them stand up, and at the same time began to release [Psionic Sextet].

The moment the spirit connects to the stars, the unparalleled spiritual energy rushes to the right hand like a waterfall, the soul quickly dries up, and the sense of terror in the void quickly approaches.

Rhodes used [Awakening] continuously, and more psychic energy poured in, propping up this unprecedented psychic cannon.

A few seconds later, a peerless monster slowly poked in from the edge of the dream.

It looks unremarkable, just a giant shell with legs, moving by several intestine-shaped tentacles. The half-opened shell is shrouded in dense darkness, but huge organs and countless human heads can still be seen.

A painful face loomed in the darkness.

The moment he entered the dreamland, the ancient god slowly moved towards the obelisk, ignoring Rhodes.

It moved very slowly, relying entirely on its tentacles to crawl on the ground, as if an invisible force was driving it away, making it sink into mud.

The dream has become completely black, and the only light source is the rolling red cloud in the distance.

Rhodes didn't turn on his spirit vision, so as not to look directly at the powerful existence and cause injury.

[Psionic sextet] is about to be completed, a huge bright yellow psionic energy is wrapped around the arm, forming a cannon-like existence.

At this time, nothing can go wrong.

Rhodes took a deep breath and played the last note.

boom!
An unprecedented torrent burst out of the air, and the spiritual energy, which was dozens of times stronger than the original strength, directly hit the ancient god's shell.

But in the next moment, Rhodes felt as if his body was pierced by countless spikes, and his soul seemed to fall into a furnace and be melted by high temperature.

His eyes went dark, and in the next moment, he had returned to the material world.

He was lying on the bed, a faint twilight was wandering in the air, the bedroom was quiet, and there was no one there.

But the severe pain in his mind indicated that what happened just now was not a dream, and his mental body in the dream had already died.

This...how did I die?

The psychic torrent obviously hit the ancient god, why did I die?
Before he had time to think about it, Rhode quickly returned to the dreamland.

In a dream completely shrouded in darkness, the ancient god was still moving unswervingly towards the obelisk. Every step it took was extremely difficult, but this seemed to be the difficulty brought about by some kind of high-level game, and had nothing to do with Rhodes .

Not even a trace was left on its huge shell.

Dozens of wooden puppets tried to stop it, but the huge tentacles ran over them directly, and the dead branches that touched the tentacles turned into powder without delay for half a second.

How is this going?

[Psionic Sextet] Is it fake?
Before Rhodes recovered his senses, a bigger tentacle protruded from the shell and slammed heavily on the obelisk.

Accompanied by an unprecedented loud noise, severe pain instantly penetrated the whole body like a red-hot steel needle.

boom.

Second blow.

The soul cracked in the explosion, and Rhodes returned to the material world again.

But the pain didn't go away.

Soon, as if being hit by a sledgehammer, the unimaginable pain tore the nerve like lightning, making him almost faint.

However, this is not the first time he has experienced all this.

Rhodes overcame the severe pain with superhuman perseverance, and pinched again.

But at the moment when the soul soared into the air, the severe pain came on time, the soul cracked, and he fell back into the material world.

In addition to the unprecedented pain, there was a pervasive numbness in the spirit.

The will is gradually blurred, the darkness is gradually covering the vision, and life is moving away from him.

Do not!
Rhodes gritted his teeth and made another gesture.

I must live!
Nothing can stop me!
Neither can God!

The soul soared into the air, and the sharp pain that came again broke the nerve like iron clamps.

But this time, he resisted and stepped back into the dreamland.

In the current dream, there is no light at all, and the dead air of decay permeates everywhere. There are cracks all over the obelisk, and a huge crack runs through its middle.

And the attack of the ancient god still didn't stop, the huge tentacles hit the obelisk like a battering ram, and also hit Rhode's nerves.

There is no doubt that if the obelisk is destroyed, he is dead, and the resurrection stone is probably useless.

And this ancient god is extremely powerful and weird, he has no chance of winning.

But Rhodes did not give up. He rushed into the hut and took out items that had been forgotten for a long time from the storage.

【Guardian of Darkness】

Greatly reduces the damage taken by the obelisk, lasting for three rounds of sunset.

This is a special item he made when he first got the stone platform. There are three in total, and one has already been used.

click.

Rhodes crushed it.

In the next instant, the entire obelisk was covered with a dark shell.

boom!
The ancient god's tentacles hit the dark shell, and it remained motionless.

The terrifying pain finally left him. Although the torn nerves did not recover at all, Rhodes could bear the pain.

The roar of the old god came from the hut, and it seemed that it was very angry that it could not destroy the obelisk, and it stretched out more tentacles from the shell, and launched a more violent blow to it.

The excruciating pain started again, and the violent force penetrated the shell and hit the obelisk.

The cracks on the obelisk began to spread again, and small stones scattered from the stele.

Rhodes crushed the last [Guardian of Darkness] without any hesitation.

A second shell covers the obelisk.

This time, no matter how the ancient gods attacked, the obelisk was no longer damaged.

Unwilling roars continued to spread, and Rhodes noticed that the ancient god was being driven away by some invisible force, and his huge body was gradually becoming transparent.

The more tentacles it stretches out, the faster it drives away.

He clenched his fist violently.

Sure enough, my guess was correct.

The dream, or some other existence, is exorcising it!
They have been fighting on some invisible level, which is why this powerful ancient god is so sluggish.

The Chief Dean is right, he knows that I have the "Guardian of Darkness" and that I can last until the ancient gods are driven away.

Rhodes sneered.

It's a pity, Lord Theodore, your wisdom is still not enough, you didn't even count on me forgetting this matter, and almost died.

Clap clap clap!

Rhodes slapped himself dozens of big mouths.

I'm such a big sappy!
Damn, I'm so pissed off!

Amidst the continuous roar, the ancient god finally turned into nothingness and disappeared from the dream.

Finally, there was a glimmer of light in the darkness. The obelisk was dilapidated, with cracks everywhere.

Rhodes let out a long breath. Sure enough, stupidity and weakness are not obstacles to survival.

Arrogance is.

The first time he knew about the ancient god's invasion, he actually thought about how to kill the ancient god instead of saving his life.

Luckily I woke up in time, otherwise I would have been screwed.

In the future, you must remember it well, don't be arrogant, and you must be fully prepared for everything.

There are countless strange existences in the darkness. If you are not careful and walk on thin ice, let alone the ancient gods, a weak monster might make me overturn.

Survival has never been an easy task.

Rhodes took a deep breath and calmed his beating heart.

When I came to the "omen side" of the obelisk, the blood-red text on it still did not disappear, but a new line was replaced.

The ancient god Heragthos watches you, the invasion will come after sunset on round 33.

Grass (Second Tinder)!
