the last king of darkness

Chapter 340 Divinity and Fragments
The invisible void force devoured more than [-]% of the demonized ants, just like the black stains in a painting, which were wiped away with an eraser.

Without any process, the touched demonized ants disappeared directly, leaving no ashes behind.

It was as if some kind of powerful cleaning agent had been dripped into the filthy giant pit, and the black immediately backed away, and the ant colony seemed to be swallowed by the transparent air.

Only a thin layer around the edges of the nest remains.

No more demonized ants emerged from the nest, and the remaining demonized ants on the ground lost the support of the queen and turned into ordinary monsters, and even the king ants degenerated.

They were only at the Cheng level and the fierce level, and they were no match for the palace-level fighters at all, and they were easily eliminated.

Even Annabe can kill all directions, throwing a gun down, and it can be paralyzed for an hour.

The situation changed drastically in the blink of an eye. The queen of the insects died, and none of the insect nests survived. The crisis in the Trident River area was completely resolved.

Celie pinched Lannister's cheek vigorously, and murmured, "It doesn't hurt at all, I'm really dreaming."

Lannister: "...can you pinch your own?"

"Shut up, old lady! Big liar!"

Herman picked up the queen's ashes from the queen's ashes.

This is an egg-shaped condensate, because the queen's body carrier is extremely incredible, its ashes are very precious, and it is one of the elements for making holy spirit potions.

"The worm queen is indeed dead..."

As long as the soul dissipates, the body will collapse, and the power contained in it can gather together and condense into ashes.

He looked into the distance, but didn't see Rhode's figure.

"What about others?"

The rest of the people stood there blankly, as if in a dream.

Frank of Mushroom City heals Churchill with his trait derived ability.

This guardian has been fighting in the Trident River area for many days. He is scarred and his soul is already extremely weak. But even so, the ghost cannon of the worm queen did not cause much damage to him. It only touched the scars in his soul, which caused coma.

And Frank's characteristic is inorganic transformation, which can control and change the state, endowment, and attributes of inanimate objects within a certain range.

In theory, he could even turn the dirt directly into potions.

Of course, more complex transformations require higher levels of characteristics and more psionic abilities.

Frank can't do this at the moment, he just changed the effect of certain ingredients in the healing potion, making it a potion that stabilizes the mind and soul.

After drinking the symptomatic potion, Churchill quickly woke up.

The powerful psychic energy condensed instantly, and he jumped up immediately, but he didn't see the queen.

Looking around, within the line of sight, there are not even a few demonized ants left, and the big pit in the distance is empty, leaving only a little black at the bottom.

"Has Alan been here?"

Churchill's eyes suddenly filled with joy.

"I knew little Rhodes could succeed, and my intuition never went wrong."

Frank scratched the back of his head, hesitant to speak, not knowing what to say.

Ryan whispered: "Mr. Churchill...Your Excellency Alan didn't come."

"not coming?"

Churchill was taken aback.

"Is the queen alive? But I haven't sensed the queen's spiritual power. Why is the ant nest half empty? Who resolved the crisis?"

"Oh... I see. The hall must have considered Alan too tired and replaced the Beacon of Kong with someone else... Let me guess which Son of Fire it is."

He clapped his hands sharply.

"I see, it's that exhibitionist Rovia, right?"

There was no sound in the team, and no one nodded.

Churchill pondered: "Isn't it him? That's right, Son of Fire can't spare his hand at the moment... Could it be that bastard Kai?"

Still no one nodded, and Tyrion tried to explain, but Churchill's rich voice drowned him out.

"Wrong guess again? Could it be Moonlight Olivia? But that fat woman is not good at destroying..."

"cough!"

Herman forcibly interrupted him. Moonlight Knight Olivia has always had a violent temper. If she knew that someone was talking about her as a fat woman here, everyone would have a hard time.

"Your Excellency Churchill, things are not as you thought. For some reason, Rhodes did not use the Beacon of the Void, and we can't find him now..."

Celie worried: "He won't die, will he?"

As soon as the words fell, a shadow was cast over everyone's faces.

Rhodes suddenly used such a powerful force, according to the principle of equivalence, the price he paid must be unimaginable.

Sacrifice of life and soul is also possible.

But Memphis spoke again.

"He's not dead."

"what?"

Everyone turned their gazes over.

Celie asked anxiously, "How do you know?"

Memphis said lightly: "I can feel it."

Annabelle suddenly said: "This is not the first time he has used this method. He has used it a few times during the campaign against Fanxing Town. This is also the reason why we were able to take down Fanxing Town so quickly."

There was brilliance in the eyes of everyone for a moment, as long as Rhodes is not dead, anything can be said.

Herman asked, "Then where is he now, do you know?"

Memphis replied curtly, "He should be in the lighthouse."

This is a very reasonable answer.

Herman was shocked, and raised his voice: "Then let's go back to the lighthouse."

Everyone left quickly, only Churchel glanced at Memphis before leaving, thinking: "This girl seems to be a little different..."

He didn't think much about it, even if the crisis is over now, they still have a lot of things to deal with.

The top priority now is to return to the lighthouse and ensure Rhodes' state is safe.

-

in the lighthouse.

Rhodes woke up from his bed, and the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to close them.

dreamland.

When the sense of vacating the soul ended and the spiritual body fell in the dreamland, Rhodes was almost blinded by the shining star square under his feet.

"Fuck, what's going on? Shu, what are you doing?"

The Book of Knowledge rushed from the other side of the square, frantically rubbing against Rhodes' feet, every gap in the pages was filled with the same few words.

"Master, you are so strong!"

"What the hell happened? Speak well!"

The book of knowledge opened its pages, and wrote in delighted strokes: "We have gained 48 points of divinity!"

"what?"

Rhode jumped three feet high, looked at the obelisk with a glance, and as soon as he thought about it, various data appeared on the surface of the obelisk.

Divinity has not changed, it is still 49.
Rhodes was extremely disappointed: "Where is it?"

The book of knowledge madly wrote: "Idiot! Until the moment when the stars shine, dreams cannot acquire the divinity above the stars!"

wipe!
Rhodes inserted his finger into the gap in the book.

"What did you say?"

The page of the book of knowledge that was still jumping wildly just now suddenly withered, and the word "idiot" on the page quickly disappeared, and it became "master".

Rhodes snorted coldly and pulled out his fingers: "Longer memory, don't let me come to you every time, keep talking."

The book of knowledge trembled wildly for a while, but suppressed the resentment, and thought to himself: "Stinky bastard, how dare you insult such a noble me, after all my soul recovers, I will definitely make you look good."

But within a few seconds, it forgot this memory and wrote cheerfully: "It's a sign of the Star Plaza. When you changed your actions, it changed from a negative two hundred to a positive 48. You see !"

A foggy light flashed on the Book of Knowledge, reaching Star Square.

The glare on the ground gradually faded away, revealing a foggy scene. Two lines of golden text on it read:
——Eliminate disasters and disasters, divinity +12
——Save hope, divinity +60
A smile appeared on Rhode's face, but he frowned immediately: "60+12, isn't this 72? How did you get 48? You used dream arithmetic?"

The book of knowledge shook its pages, and wrote in dissatisfaction: "Stupid...Master, have you forgotten what happened last time? There are still red letters below."

The book of knowledge drifted out of mist, turned into a hand, and wiped it on the ground.

The white mist on the square was wiped away, revealing a line of bright red text.

——Destroying the energy balance of the Sea of ​​Origin, causing the world to intensify erosion, divinity -24.
Grass!
I knew it!

Void Wrath really shouldn't be used indiscriminately.

But Rhodes didn't have much regret. Although pouring demonized ants into the sea of ​​origin would lead to increased pollution of the world, if his deduction is correct, the amount of increase or deduction of divinity should be able to reflect the impact of one thing on the world the size of.

The divinity is generally positive, and the impact of what he does on the world is positive.

If it's negative, what he's doing will intensify the world's slide into the dark abyss.

+48, indicating that his actions just now are more beneficial to the world than harmful to the world.

The big stone in Rhodes' heart fell to the ground at once, and he said with a smile: "It seems that my choice is correct, I didn't waste 10 divinity points and two undead spirits in vain."

The Book of Knowledge is also very happy, divinity is the source of power of dreams, and many powerful functions of dreams require the use of divinity.

Without divinity, the dream is a lifeless mass, and it can never be restored to its full state.

Therefore, for it, the scarlet letter with negative 200 divinity is the most terrifying curse.

Rhodes transformed negative 200 into positive 48, just like a giant stick piercing its heart. The Book of Knowledge has never been so satisfied with its owner at this moment, and all the previous resentments and dissatisfaction disappeared at this moment. Most of it.

"Haha, I now have some confidence. You are not as useless and incompetent as you appear on the outside. As long as you work harder, you may be able to become the king of the era like the masters of the past."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Book, do you know that there is a saying that people should not look like a fool? I just got used to it a little slower, but I'm not an idiot."

The Book of Knowledge did not deny this sentence for the first time, and wrote earnestly: "Perhaps you are right, all my former masters were kings, or possessed great power, or possessed extraordinary wisdom, or possessed Infinite courage and rock-solid will, they are chosen by hundreds of millions of people, and they are the top of the human race."

"I once placed high hopes on them, but they all failed in the end, and they all fell in front of the deepest darkness and weirdness. But you are different from them, and maybe you can bring me different changes."

Rhodes smiled slightly, noncommittal, and asked instead: "Can you restore the dream now?"

The Book of Knowledge replied: "Yes, I have mastered the way to restore the dream."

"Don't use fragments?"

"No, it's not missing, but damaged. I need to use Soulless Soul and some powerful souls to repair them."

Rhodes understood instantly. He remembered that when the Platform of Light first appeared, there was a suffix (damage) in the message.

He thought it was filled with fragments, but he didn't expect it to be repaired by the soul.

The Terrace of Light was seriously damaged, and repairing it consumed all of Rhodes' inventory.

But the fix also provides two very powerful abilities - Psionic Search and Nether Strike.

The damage to Star Plaza is relatively small, and repairing it only consumes a small amount of soul and a powerful soul.

However, it also provides a very practical ability - divinity foreshadowing.

With this ability, Rhodes can clearly know how much divinity he can get from what he is doing now.

The most important thing is to be able to judge whether what he is doing is right or wrong for mankind as a whole.

This is an extremely rare ability.

You must know that the most important and core ability of a leader is decision-making.

It is very difficult to lead thousands of human beings to survive in such a dark and hopeless world.

Any wrong choice may kill tens of thousands of lives, and even lead to the destruction of mankind.

Every choice requires endless courage and infinite wisdom.

You are not deciding the fate of one person, but the fate of hundreds of thousands of people. Countless people are looking at you, and those countless pairs of expecting eyes are enough to make any weak-willed person collapse.

And with this ability, Rhodes has an important reference.

According to the previous performance, although it cannot represent everything in advance, it is at least an important reference indicator, which can explain many problems.

At the critical moment, he can rein in the precipice.

Just like the book did before.

It wasn't that it suddenly howled in its mind, and Rhodes' Beacon was used.

Thinking of this, Rhodes had lingering fears.

If the Star Plaza is not repaired, this wave of blood will lose 200 points of divinity.

When the stars shine, isn't that vomiting three liters of blood?

Rhodes' current key affairs cannot be separated from divinity.

If there is no divinity, the most direct impact is that he can no longer ignite new stars, nor can he make the resurrection stone.

This not only means that his strength cannot be improved, but also shows that he will always be in great danger.

Therefore, divinity is the core of everything, the most important thing, and no loss is allowed.

In addition, Rhodes also harbored a deep thought - the dream is so powerful, after all recovery, can he be sent home?
Of course, this idea was only buried in the deepest part of his heart, and he didn't need to think about it now. Survival was his main task right now.

Rhodes put away his messy thoughts and asked, "The book, the dream, and what else needs to be repaired?"

The Book of Knowledge quickly wrote: "Everything needs to be fixed except what I just fixed."

The dream is so severely damaged... Rhodes frowned slightly. It seems that the last battle that caused the shattering of the dream was very fierce, not only breaking the dream into pieces, but also causing a lot of damage.

"How many souls do you need?"

"a lot of."

The handwriting of the Book of Knowledge is also heavy.

"There are so many, not just spiritless souls, but also a lot of powerful souls, but restoration is a very long-term process, you don't have to worry too much, the most critical light tower and star square have been repaired, and I can take care of the rest. Repair slowly."

It couldn't be better.

Rhodes nodded: "What should I do next?"

The Book of Knowledge reads: "I am using the Platform of Light to search for dream fragments. According to my memory and some remaining traces in the spirit world, I have initially locked the direction of a fragment. I will continue to track until I find its existence."

The Book of Knowledge paused and wrote in a very correct handwriting.

"You have to be prepared, whether it is in the material world or in the spiritual world, wherever there is a powerful substance, there must be a place where a powerful monster exists."

Rhode's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "I see, as long as I return to the king's city, I will immediately perform the ninth-level psionic promotion ceremony, officially enter the realm of the strong, become an official member of the palace, obtain the resources of the palace, and quickly Become stronger!"

The Book of Knowledge slapped the pages lightly, which was an act of approval, and then wrote: "Not only that, you also need to obtain as much divinity as possible, the current divinity is no longer enough to ignite new stars."

"In the process of searching for fragments, we may use the spirit world strike many times. After the dream is strong, we also need the spirit world strike to deal with powerful intruders. If we are stuck at the threshold of promotion, we also need to use the spirit world strike strike to claim the soul of a mighty monster, such as the remains of an ancient god."

"It all requires divinity."

Rhodes felt a heavy pressure, and the words of the Book of Knowledge made him realize that although he paid enough attention to divinity, he still did not pay enough attention to divinity.

How can we gain more divinity?

Rhodes was lost in thought.

But he didn't think for long, because in his dream he felt that many people were coming to his room.

It should be Heman and the others who are back.

I'd like a better excuse to explain it to them.

Before leaving, Rhodes once again consumed 10 divinity points and made a resurrection stone in front of the stone platform.

With only 39 divinities left, he once again felt even heavier pressure.

In order to relieve this pressure, Rhodes glanced at the soul altar, and the powerful soul of the Queen of Worms was sealed in the crystal wall.

【The soul of the demonized Fula spirit-devouring ant queen】

【Very great soul (incomplete)】

[This is a soul that has far exceeded the limit. The deformed soul structure and the lack of source prevent it from becoming a higher-level monster. It can only increase the strength of the soul in vain, although its soul power far exceeds that of the same level. Potential soul, but it still fails to break through the limit of potential, does not have the power of destruction. 】

Grass!
Fortunately, the disorderly grotesque was killed.

That thing must be an opportunity for the queen to advance. If it succeeds, the queen must be promoted from the strong super-level to the king-level.

Recalling the experience of killing it, Rhodes still has lingering fears.

The psionic multiplayer has reached 22 seconds, and its power has reached 2048 times the initial power, and it was killed only when the damage was amplified.

Although Rhodes has never seen a king-level monster, but based on this, if the worm queen successfully advanced to the king-level, what kind of terrifying existence would it be?

The 22-second psychic multiplayer used up all the [Awakening], and I couldn't borrow so much psychic energy from the void, so I could kill the powerful super-rank queen.

If he is facing a king-level insect queen, even his taboo moves may not be effective.

The consequences of that are unimaginable.

boom!
With a loud bang, the door of the room was pushed open by Celie and Annabelle together.

"Rod!"

Rhodes instantly withdrew his distracting thoughts and returned to the material world.
