the last king of darkness

Chapter 281 Divinity and New Stars (Two in One)

On the Star Square, the trails of stars formed a special scene.

The stars are filled with light, the nebula floats around, and the entire star map shines in the smoke and mist.

Rhodes suddenly had a strange feeling, as if an ancient door that had been dusty for a long time was opened, as if looking at a farther starry sky, and something in the boundless depths was calling him.

Golden light spots emerged from the depths of the gray fog, falling like raindrops, and converging into the obelisk.

The book of knowledge ran wildly on the ground, with three words repeated in the cracks of every page.

"many!"

"many!"

"Haha! Hahaha!"

There are more and more golden lights, but within a short moment, there are countless golden light spots floating in the whole dream, like the lights of summer night in the world.

Rhodes stood in the golden light spots all over the sky, and opened his hands like Shawshank. The golden light spots passed through his body, like condensed hope.

In this beautiful scene, his spirit was baptized and his soul was sublimated to the utmost.

The hardships, pain, exhaustion, and confusion hidden in my heart during this journey all disappeared at this moment.

This is the fruit of his best efforts, the crystallization of wisdom.

At this moment, he felt that all his sacrifices were worth it.

The golden light rain lasted for a quarter of an hour before disappearing.

Then, several rows of huge gold letters appeared on the obelisk.

Bring hope to mankind, divinity +25
Open up new space, divinity +25
Ignite a new fire, divinity +20
Increase the strength of fire, divinity +3
Improve the overall strength of the orderly, divinity +120
Because of your efforts, the possibility of inheriting the torch has increased, and human civilization is one step further away from the abyss of absolute darkness.

-

A strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, and Rhodes forgot everything for a moment, only feeling the blood rushing and the heart beating.

The intense heat spread into his limbs and bones, making his whole body dry and hot, as if he had turned into an infinitely huge giant, carrying the human world on his back, holding the flame of civilization in one hand, and marching forward in the boundless darkness.

A sense of pride arose spontaneously, and the boundless darkness, treacherous black mist, deformed monsters, and the unknown strangeness that engulfed countless people and gods no longer frightened him.

He suddenly had a belief that he must overcome the darkness, dispel the black mist, bring light back to the world, and allow human beings to walk proudly on the earth.

At this moment, Rhode's heart brightened, and he suddenly understood that he was not only a new star, but also a strong man.

He is the destined savior, the forerunner who carried the torch high.

Now that there is a dream, it is bound to make a great cause.

Although Rhodes still doesn't know the origin of the dream, he can guess that it is a very special and extraordinary thing.

The Book of Knowledge once revealed in a few words that the masters of every dream are the kings of their time.

How could he be willing to lag behind?

Hahaha, Trorian, your superhero is back!
Satisfied, Rhodes laughed loudly and came to the obelisk.

Just about to taste his soaring divinity carefully, but suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly like a duck being pinched by the neck.

The current data of the dream is clearly written on the obelisk.

Soul Strength: 28005
Soul Stars: 6
Humanity: 159 million

Divinity: 122
Spiritless Souls: 871 million

Storage: 15 flowers of humanity, 12111 parts of spirituality, various items (omitted).

Crystal Wall: 1062 souls, 1 very powerful soul with four sources.

-

There is no problem with everything else, but there is a big problem with divinity.

Rhodes' eyeballs almost popped out.

He read it countless times and determined that the number behind divinity was 122.

its not right.

Rhodes calculated several times, the divinity he obtained should be 193, plus the remaining 2 points before, it should be 195.
Why is it 122?

What about 73 points?

Rhodes immediately shifted his gaze to the Book of Knowledge.

It also looks very violent, the pages of the book are shaking wildly, and the white mist rises from it, connecting to the land of dreams.

Rhodes knew that it was manipulating the dream at this moment.

Sure enough, a moment later, two lines of red letters appeared under those lines of huge gold letters.

——The energy balance of the Sea of ​​Origin has been disrupted many times, resulting in increased erosion of the world, and divinity -40.
——Maliciously disturbing the high-level spiritual world, and disrupting the balance of the sea of ​​origin, etc., the turbulence of the human holy fire intensified, the degree of order decreased, the source power was lost, and divinity -33.
what?
Rhodes couldn't believe his eyes.

What does it mean?
When did I destroy the Sea of ​​Origin?What the hell is maliciously disturbing the spirit world?

Also, what is the relationship between them and the holy fire?
Rhodes eyes were red, and he looked at the Book of Knowledge viciously.

And it looked even angrier than itself, rushed up and slapped its heels frantically with the pages of the book, each page was filled with three words.

"It's all your fault!"

"It's all your fault!"

Rhode picked it up and said angrily, "What's going on?"

The book of knowledge wrote four words in an instant.

"Wrath of the Void!"

Rhodes suddenly woke up.

"You mean, the Fury of the Void is the chief culprit for destroying the energy balance of the Sea of ​​Origin? [Awakening] is the ability to draw power from the Sea of ​​Origin?"

"nonsense!"

Rhodes said angrily: "Then when I asked you, how did you not know?"

The Book of Knowledge wrote angrily: "My soul is incomplete, and a lot of knowledge has been forgotten, and I only remembered it after I saw it."

I knew it wasn't such a good thing.

Rhodes was very depressed, and asked again: "Why does destroying the energy balance of the Sea of ​​Origin cause the world to erode more?"

The Book of Knowledge quickly wrote a long paragraph of text.

"When the energy you plunder exceeds a certain limit, a negative energy hole is formed in the Sea of ​​Origin. This hole will not be filled, but will only be transferred around, disrupting the balance of the Sea of ​​Origin."

"And the source mechanism of the Sea of ​​Origin will make the cavity deeper and deeper, filling it more and more urgently, until it explodes in the material world, transforming all nearby spiritual matter into pure energy and sucking it into the cavity."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Yes, is there a problem?"

The Book of Knowledge wrote angrily: "You use it to blow up monsters! Monsters are the condensation of black mist, the embodiment of the corrupted Law of Origin, and they enter the Sea of ​​Origin like this, just like dumping a pile of dirt directly Into the sea."

Rhodes frowned deeper, and he felt that the real world seemed to be different from what he knew.

He couldn't help asking: "What exactly is the black mist? Didn't you say that the world was created according to the rules of the 107 laws of origin? Which law of origin does the black mist belong to?"

The Book of Knowledge was silent for a while before writing in low-pitched handwriting.

"The black mist does not belong to any source law, it is outside the 107 source laws."

"I don't know what it is. The information about it is very deep. Maybe I won't know until I recover all my soul. However, in my memory, a certain master once called it a heretic."

"Heretics?" Rhodes repeated the word, feeling that it seemed to hide some kind of deep secret.

"Then why can the guardian fire dispel the black mist and restrain monsters?"

The Book of Knowledge reads: "When fire was first created, it was used to protect the world against the erosion of the black mist."

Rhodes was surprised: "Created? Who created it?"

"I don't know, this part of the information is also lost, maybe it is an ancient god."

Rhodes frowned, feeling that there were many unexplainable things in it.

"If fire is specially created to fight against the black mist, what about the sun, the moon and the stars? They also have the ability to restrain the black mist, and they can also echo the power of fire."

The Book of Knowledge reads: "I don't know, maybe fire comes from the sun, moon and stars, and the sun, moon and stars themselves are the world's correction of mistakes."

Well, it makes sense to say so.

Rhodes' brows stretched.

It's no wonder that all the fire seeds in Wangcheng are obtained from the ruins of the dark world. The method of making fire seeds must have been lost long ago.

For today's human beings, fire has become an unmanufacturable thing.

Hmm... The maker of such a powerful and magical item is probably an ancient god in ancient times.

He took fire from the sun, moon and stars, brought it to the mortal world, and handed it over to human beings to dispel the darkness and protect the living beings.

I just don't know who this Prometheus who stole the fire is.

Rhodes thought slightly regretfully.

If you can find its remains and get its soul, maybe you can find a way to make fire.

Of course, this is not something he can currently do.

Rhodes withdrew his scattered thoughts, and asked again: "Then what's going on with disturbing the spirit world?"

The Book of Knowledge replied unhappily: "You are fine flying back and forth between the Abyss of Darkness and the River of Eternal Death, awakening the old master who was silent in the depths of the spirit world, and in a panic, he took a new track to escape, causing disturbances Not big enough?"

Rhodes sighed: "I thought I had found a shortcut to invincibility... I really don't understand why it caused such a big reaction?"

The handwriting of the Book of Knowledge became peaceful, as if he knew that Rhodes was a newcomer and had no one to guide him, so it was understandable to make such a mistake.

"My stupid master, you have to know that dreams are intruders to the current spirit world. Don't go in and out of the same area repeatedly, and don't stay in one area for too long. Follow the fixed track formed over thousands of years. Move, once we reach the city of disorder, we must quickly return to the orbit, otherwise the disturbance will not stop."

Rhodes asked again: "Why would it affect the holy flame?"

"Disturbances in the spiritual world are usually fed back to the sea of ​​origin, causing turmoil in the sea of ​​origin. If you frantically extract the energy of the sea of ​​origin, the turbulence will be even greater, and the source of the holy fire is rooted in the sea of ​​origin. Its structure There are defects or incompleteness, so the turmoil in the source sea will affect the holy fire, which may seriously lead to the collapse of the holy fire."

Rhodes suddenly remembered that Horus had told him that since he set off on the expedition, the movement of the holy flame in the royal city has not stopped, and the king had to devote himself to the holy flame to maintain its stability.

How the hell did I do this?
Those youngsters are so rampant, isn't it because the king was forced to retreat in the sacred fire sacrificial field, and the elders have no checks and balances?
special.

Rhodes swears.

It turns out that the real behind-the-scenes black hand is me.

wipe!
But now that you know this, things will be easy to handle afterwards.

First of all, Void Fury, as a big move with huge side effects, can no longer be used easily.

And its power is not as strong as Rhodes imagined. Last time, the group of white sheep demons didn't even eat up, and there was a big pile left.

It doesn't matter if you don't need it.

Then, the dream bubble must not jump around repeatedly, and must enter the orbit of the city of disorder as soon as possible according to the book of knowledge.

In this way, when the turmoil in the source sea disappears and the holy fire calms down, the king can leave the customs.

With the king sitting in the Supreme Council, many things will become much easier to handle.

He will no longer be treated unfairly.

In short, learn from a pit and gain wisdom, so don't make such a mistake again.

Be sure to get more divinity next time.

Rhodes turned his gaze back to the golden text, summarizing the details of obtaining divinity.

"Bringing hope to mankind" goes without saying.

Rhodes' series of victories not only inspired the people in Starry Town, but also countless people in Trorian.

"Open up a new space" naturally refers to Fanxing Town and the surrounding underground city and ghost lake.

It's a pity that Rhodes encountered some troubles, and he didn't have time to take back the Blackwater Swamp to the north and the ruins of Ithorne to the west.

Otherwise you can get more.

"Lighting a new fire" should refer to the fire in Fanxing Town that was swallowed by the gray-robed priest. It illuminated Fanxing Town again after a lapse of 500 years.

Igniting one tinder adds 20 divinity points. It seems that we will need to ignite a few more in the future, Rhodes thought.

"Increasing the intensity of the fire" should refer to increasing the intensity of the fire in Fanxing Town,

Adding phlogiston cannot increase the intensity, it can only be maintained or restored, and firewood must be added to increase the intensity of the fire.

Firewood is a very expensive and precious item. The fire in Fanxing Town only adds firewood once, which adds 3 points of divinity.

Not much, maybe too little improvement.

"Increase the overall strength of the orderly" is as high as 120.

This should be his main job.

Rhodes asked about the Book of Knowledge, and learned that "orderly ones" refers to intelligent creatures with spirits.

Only humans are left.

The overall strength is comprehensive strength, including all indicators such as material, resources, output value, combat effectiveness, and the number of strong people.

The translation of this sentence is "improving the comprehensive strength of human beings".

Rhodes opened up mines, planted crops, received poor people, developed towns, cultivated fighters, and all other actions that are beneficial to human beings, all of which were combined to obtain divinity.

Looks like I'm doing just fine.

Rhodes thought happily.

Disturbing the sacred flame and exacerbating the corruption of the world sounds serious, but in fact the impact is not that great.

It can be seen from the divinity that one deducted 40 points and the other deducted 33 points, which is far inferior to the 120 points of this item.

Maybe they are not irreparable.

After taking stock of the gains and losses of divinity, Rhodes already had a plan for the next step in his mind.

But before that, Rhodes had to continue the work that had been stagnant for a long time due to lack of divinity.

He first extracted 10 points of divinity to make a [Resurrection Stone], and then prepared to ignite new stars.

The soul of the Book of Knowledge has recovered a little, and it knows that Rhodes should ignite that star.

"Your soul is already strong enough, you can go further to the soul wasteland and ignite a more powerful high-level star."

Rhodes knew that soul stars were indeed strong and weak.

[Broken Blue] is far less powerful than [Elegy of the Spirit].

But the stronger the star, the higher the consumption.

For example [Elegy of the Spirit], it is currently the only star that Rhodes has not reached its full state, and it needs a "great soul" to reach the highest potential.

Rhodes didn't expect there to be stars more powerful than [Elegy of the Spirit].

"What is it?" He asked, "Also, how can I get to the farther Soul Wasteland?"

The wasteland of soul is endless, and the ashes on the wasteland become sparser the further you go. Rhodes ran for a long time without seeing the end.

The book of knowledge writes swiftly.

"[Star Shuttle], when you entered the soul wasteland, you kept thinking about higher and farther depths, and I will lead your direction."

It was scrawled and looked anxious.

"Hurry up, I'm a little uneasy, the invasion may come at any time."

Rhodes also became nervous, and quickly came to the obelisk, his forehead touched the soul surface, and he kept thinking about the distant shore in his mind.

The world turned upside down again, and he entered the Soul Wasteland.

This is a strange space, it is shrouded in darkness, but this darkness is more like darkness without light, rather than the terrifying darkness formed by the weird black mist in the material world.

There are countless ashes of stars piled up in this space, and he needs to use a complete soul with source, spiritless soul and spirituality to ignite the ashes and become his stars.

In the external inspection, they are considered to be Rhodes' fire.

Rhodes has been in and out of here countless times, but this time he didn't land as usual, but flew in mid-air.

As far as the eye could see, the dark land was covered with extinguished ashes, and only six bonfires were burning.

That is the six stars he ignited.

Among them, [Elegy of the Spirit] is the largest bonfire.

However, the quantified flames of [Darkness Devourer] and [Spirit Boat] seemed particularly real.

Rhode's speed was getting faster and faster, and an invisible force pulled him, and flew to the distance of the wasteland, and the countless ashes below blinked past.

As the speed increased, the ashes became more and more sparse, and in the end, there was not a single one in the wasteland for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Rhode finally fell down.

On the empty and dark land, a ball of ashes stood alone in front of my eyes, and there was nothing around.

Rhodes looked at Ashes, and a line of text appeared in his eyes.

【Star Shuttle】

[Ignition needs: 4 copies of source soul, 50 soulless souls, 10000 copies of spirituality]

What the hell!

Rhodes almost swears.

This star is many times stronger than the demand of [Elegy of the Spirit].

If he hadn't harvested a large number of souls in the process of cleaning Fanxing Town, it would be impossible to pay so many souls.

But Rhodes was more excited and excited.

So far, his conventional combat power has obviously been unable to keep up, and he can only use big moves such as "soul harvest" or "soul crit" to end the battle.

If he was allowed to fight normally, it would be a little difficult to deal with fierce monsters, and strong monsters would not be able to fight head-on at all, and they would all be killed with special tactics.

Due to the huge side effects of Fury of the Void, tactics such as abusing [Awakening] and staring at powerful monsters to death by leapfrogging can no longer be used easily.

So he desperately needs a new star to strengthen his combat effectiveness.

The stars selected by this book of knowledge must be what I need most now.

Rhodes excitedly summoned the soul of the unclean ghost that had been stored for a long time, and threw it into the ashes.

Then add 50 spiritless souls and 10000 spirits, and the flames will rise into the sky like starlight.

A huge bonfire at least three stories high was burning in front of him, emitting a strange star light to illuminate a large area of ​​wasteland.

A line of text floated above the flames.

【Star Shuttle】

[Status: weak burning]

[Star Power: Stardust]

[Injection: Spiritless Soul]

【Tim Huo: Human Nature】

【Quantified: not available】

【Position: Dark Fire】

[Strength: 20000]
