the last king of darkness

Chapter 360 It Starts With You

Rhodes was disappointed to find that there was no indication on the Square of Stars that he was about to acquire divinity.

This means that it does not seem likely that he will be able to bring about a significant improvement in humanity by handing over the knowledge he has learned all his life to the Mina and Jinworth Society.

Is that knowledge useless?Or do you need long-term accumulation and can't see the effect for a while?

Rhodes wasn't sure.

He can only do this step, after all, this is not his strong point, he is just standing on the shoulders of giants.

For the rest of the matter, it depends on whether there are truly wise people in the major societies in Wangcheng who can use this to push open the steel door of truth and enter the new world.

He has already fulfilled the promise he made to the scholars at the beginning.

Rhodes turned his gaze back to his psychic power report. His psychic power strength had reached 1345 kilocuts, and the threshold for tenth-level psychic power was 1500 kilocuts.

He's pretty close.

As long as he breaks through the tenth level of psionic ability, he is eligible to advance to a second-level combatant.

This is the core combat power of the palace. Those who can enter the inner hall of the palace are qualified to undertake or choose more dangerous and advanced combat missions independently.

Time to think about igniting the next star.

Rhodes concentrated, and the dream appeared in his mind like a cloud, and he could clearly see everything that happened in the dream, as if it was really a dream.

The puppet is inspecting the dream buildings, carefully examining the gaps and breakages in each structure, carefully filling them with soulless souls.

And the book of knowledge is still floating above the dreamland, and under its control, the huge soul pillar is repairing the outer layer of protection of the dreamland.

Rhodes asked: "Book, which is the next star I should ignite?"

The Book of Knowledge shook in dissatisfaction, and replied directly in the soul: "You ask it!"

Rhodes frowned and said, "Don't you know? Afro, which one should I ignite?"

The puppet raised its head, and the calm and indifferent voice also sounded in the soul.

"Master, I am the defender of the dream, the guardian of the obelisk, the recorder of history and the guide of the direction, but I am not good at giving you suggestions for growth. This is the responsibility of the book of knowledge."

The corner of Rhodes' mouth twitched: "But the book of knowledge is asking you."

"Oh, it may be that its knowledge and wisdom are not enough. I have seen the stars you ignited, and you have taken a very unusual path."

"[Bitter Blue] and [Justice Execution] make you a character with powerful decisive battle capabilities, and [Spirit Boat] allows you to have superb maneuverability."

"[Elegy of the Spirit] allows you to have stronger abilities, and [Sense of God] not only enables you to have extraordinary learning ability, but also enables you to have leadership-style problem-solving ability."

"After [Star Shuttle] is ignited, you will have the means to continue fighting, rather than a functional fighter who can only conduct decisive battles."

"[Wind Phantom] further magnifies your own ability."

"Based on the above choices, I suggest that your next lit star is 【Strong Root】."

Strong roots?

What the hell is this?

Xingchen's real name is like this, and the translator of the Industrial Machinery Research Institute can't even think about it.

The corner of Rhode's mouth twitched, and he asked, "What's the use of it?"

The puppet replied: "[Strong Root] can improve your defense ability and increase the quality of phantom..."

Before he finished speaking, the Book of Knowledge finally couldn't help but jumped out.

"Fart! You stupid wooden man, you know nothing about stars!"

"The strength of [Strong Root] does not meet the needs of the master at all. What the master lacks most now is spiritual power. The improvement of spiritual power is countless times greater than the improvement of the characteristics of [Strong Root]. The master must now ignite the extremely distant Powerful stars, not functional stars."

The book of knowledge was chattering, but the puppet had already lowered its head and continued to repair the building.

"This kind of professional question is not asked of me who has knowledge and wisdom, but a stupid puppet. I really don't know what you think."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Didn't you ask me to ask it?"

As if the book of knowledge didn't hear it, he quickly said: "The best option for your next star is [Soul Burner]."

"Same as [Wind Phantom], it is a very powerful star that can only be fully ignited, requiring 9 spirituality, 9 sources, 9 soul firewood, and 3 very great souls."

"This is the star suitable for the master. That trash doesn't know what the best ratio is."

Rhodes asked dissatisfiedly: "Then why did you let me ask it?"

The Book of Knowledge writes swiftly in the soul:
"From the performance just now, you should be able to clearly realize that I am your best servant, and you should only follow my advice!"

"I originally planned to get the next dream fragment before [Spirit Boat] was quantified, so that there would be more dream buildings to share its energy, and it wouldn't wake up so early and disrupt my arrangement."

It lowered its voice abruptly.

"Master, let me tell you quietly, that puppet is useless at all. It will also occupy the energy of the dream and slow down the recovery of the dream. The last master died only after believing its lies. Don't believe it. It, don't waste resources on it, a complete me is much more useful than it."

"You should restore me first, not it."

Rhodes laughed dumbfounded, and said casually, "Is it necessary to fight who should be restored first?"

The Book of Knowledge hurriedly said: "Divinity is limited, and our final recovery requires divinity."

"Okay, okay, I see." Rhodes said with a smile: "I will restore your book first."

The Book of Knowledge said happily: "As expected of the master, you will see my value!"

This can still be rolled up... Rhodes is a bit dumbfounded, but it's not bad if someone can cure the broken problems of the Book of Knowledge.

Lest I always have to interject the book.

Afterwards, the Book of Knowledge returned to work with satisfaction, and Rhodes turned his gaze to the star.

On the boundless wasteland of souls, its ashes are huge, at least as high as several floors, and are scorched black in color.

In the ashes, floated the numbers mentioned by the book of knowledge.

The demand is really high.

Rhodes sighed in his heart.

Although it does not use souls, 9 souls are also scary, and 9 souls and 9 firewood are not easy to get.

The most troublesome thing is 3 very great souls.

Monsters with this kind of soul are very, very fierce monsters.

Needless to say, the queen, that thing is a disaster.

The Lord of Nightmare is a monster that can confront the king head-on. It is impossible for him to kill it so easily without relying on the spiritual strike from the dream.

You know, a "disordered grotesque" with a "great soul" will die in one round of spiritual blows.

And the Nightmare Lord spent four rounds, consuming 40 divinity points.

We can only see how much material the Nightmare of the Dead will invade in a few days.

Rhodes thought silently, and decided to go to the training ground to get used to his newly acquired strength and ability.

Empire.

Holy Fire Sacrificial Site.

Under the endless holy fire, Wang opened his eyes again.

The golden eyes reflected the golden flame, as if it was burning.

He stood up from his golden throne, a broad smile on his face.

The eyes of the Fire Priest and the Hand of the King showed a hint of amazement.

This is the smile that Wang only had after defeating the mighty Nightmare Lord across space and barriers.

Sure enough, the Nightmare Lord is a disaster-level enemy.

Everyone thought silently in their hearts.

After getting rid of this powerful threat, Wang naturally relaxed a lot.

Since ancient times, guarding the holy fire has been the most important duty of the king.

Although the Holy Fire Sacrifice is heavily protected and is known as the safest place in Trorian, but in this dark world, the powerful fire itself is deadly.

Monsters are attracted by the fire like insects flying in the night.

The huge Trorians held back the monsters of the Material Plane, and their king held back the monsters of the Ethereal Plane.

After the Nightmare Lord was killed by an unknown spirit world existence, the king's battle became very smooth, and none of the spirit world monsters near the holy fire survived for more than a day.

Of course, that alone doesn't make Wang happy.

After all, this was the norm most of the time in the past.

The Nightmare Lord is only unable to exert its strength because of the distance, which does not mean that it can stand up to the king.

What really pleased the king was that the situation of the battle had improved to a large extent, the crisis within Trorian had been brought under control, the Western campaign had achieved great results, and the progress of the joint advancement of the three legions far exceeded Imagine, occupying an area of ​​more than 50 square thousand yards of land.

It won't be long before Trorian will officially include Startown and Star City, and they will no longer be isolated enclaves hanging outside the dark world.

At that time, the torch plan will be in the second half.

They can then begin their assault on Storm's Pass, taking the Cinder Mountains to the valley to the north.

After that, the flame plan can be made public.

Trorian will prepare for the battle with all his strength, and at the moment of the return of the stars and the arrival of Hanukkah, he will attack Tasnian Star City and seize the Seed of the Holy Fire.

Among them, the time of Hanukkah is the most important node.

The White Tower currently predicts that it could be another 60 to 90 days.

In other words, they must break through the Storm Pass within 60 days and march to Tasnia Star City.

Otherwise, it is possible to miss the key node of the attack.

Time is still pretty tight.

As soon as the battle in the spirit world was over, Wang quickly returned to his busy work, continuously bestowing Wang's blessings on the fighters who were about to set off, discussing the battle situation with the major defense chiefs, and dispatching combat forces.

Now the situation has eased a little bit, but it is still very tense.

When the first defense chief Lin brought the latest news, Wang frowned.

"The City of Stars hasn't been fully occupied yet?"

Dalin replied in a deep voice: "Yes, Legion Commander Lockhart has encountered a lot of trouble. There is always darkness and filth spreading underground in Star City."

Wang frowned slightly: "How long has it been? Almost two years? What is he doing?"

"Maybe it's some kind of source-level pollution." Dalin explained: "We need an eternal fire to pass."

"What are the three candidates doing?"

"Xingge has just returned from Storm Castle and is resting. Jon is fighting bloody battles on the Great Wall of the North, and Qingyu is dealing with the problem of the ghosts on the dead ground."

The two chose to remain silent by coincidence, temporarily bypassing the question.

The crisis in Star City must be passed by two adult candidates, and Xingge is still young and cannot choose.

After discussing for a while, Wang suddenly discovered a piece of information.

"Huh? Little Rhodes lit the eighth fire seed? His psionic energy has reached 1345 thousand cuts, heh...Look at Dalin."

Dalin quickly read the information, rubbed his chin, and pondered: "Growing up so fast? Just after returning from the battlefield of Storm Castle, he lit a new fire, and his spiritual power has almost doubled."

Wang smiled and said: "We still underestimate him. His potential is much greater than we imagined. I have never seen a new star who improves so quickly in combat. Even if he is good at growing in combat, this type of star No one can compare to him, um...except the Spirit Girls Group."

The Spiritual Girls Group is a group of members with the characteristic of "magic power liberation (awakening)". Because they are all women, and their spiritual growth exceeds imagination, they are called the Spiritual Girls Group.

Dalin shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, the growth of the Spiritual Girls Group is very unstable. His growth is completely different. You can see the ratio of his various statistics. It couldn't be more stable."

"In particular, the total amount of psionic energy has reached 20 rails! It's like step by step, and it took 30 years to get to this point."

Too fast growth will generally face the embarrassment of insufficient total psionic energy.

But Rhodes didn't know why, his total psionic energy was very deep.

"Rail" is the guide rail used by the Engineering Research Institute to test spiritual power.

1 rail of psionic energy is the psionic energy filled with one rail, and 10 rails can be used for a giant psionic railgun to fire once.

The "Giant Psionic Railgun" is a miraculous product of the Mechanical Engineering Research Institute, and it is restored from relics excavated from ancient ruins.

Its power is terrifying. It is usually used as the main gun of large castles and fortresses. It consumes so much energy that ordinary people can't afford it. Generally, mass-produced psionic crystals are used to provide energy.

The quality of that psionic energy is very low, it is harmful to the soul, but it is suitable for mechanical use.

Rhodes has a total of 20 rails of psionic energy, which proves that he can fire the giant psionic railgun twice with his bare hands.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

"Maybe..." Dalin looked at Wang.

Wang smiled and asked, "Jon or Qingyu?"

Dalin hesitated for a moment, then said: "Qingyu, Jon's battle will not be over for a while."

Wang nodded slightly: "Rhode's changeable ability may be able to restrain the troublesome ghosts, but he alone can't do it, and the undefeated Jessica can go too."

Dalin didn't raise any objections. Although Rhodes had grown rapidly, his foundation was still shallow after all, which was somewhat worrying.

With the help of the powerful Jessica, it is a very good choice.

In Storm Fortress, didn't he also cooperate with Nova Taylor to exert unimaginable power?
"I hope you can bring us more surprises."

After Dalin left, Wang looked up at the holy flame and thought silently.

Empire.

Deep in the sewers.

Soi Ying was sprayed all over the face by the exploding Book of Fate.

"what is this?"

The leader of the largest doomsday cult really couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of him.

"The King of Swallowing Poop is just a weak god in ancient times, why can he fight against the power of the powerful ancient god of fate over and over again?"

A believer suddenly had a flash of inspiration, raised his head and said: "Your Excellency, in ancient times, there might not be so much feces with power for it to eat, so it was relatively weak, but now it is different, he can eat a lot of powerful feces, That’s why it became so powerful so quickly.”

Another believer gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, this kind of thing happened."

A doomsday bishop sighed: "It's a pity that we don't have this ability. There is so much old shit here that we can't swallow it."

"I really envy him."

"Why so lucky?"

Another doomsday bishop asked: "Great leader, what should we do?"

Black Shadow said coldly: "We must get rid of him, take away his soul traits, and gain the power to swallow shit!"

"However, our poisoning plan failed! He has never been fooled once! He saw our trap at a glance, and his wisdom is really unimaginable."

"His self-control is too strong, why can he resist such a temptation?"

One doomsday bishop said: "He can't be on his guard forever, we've been poisoning his shit and he's going to hit one day."

Black Shadow said in a very cold tone: "I can't invade the Palace of Fire, but as long as he comes out, I will let him eat poison, life would be better than death!"

"Hehehe!"

The cold laughter echoed in the gloomy cave, it was indescribably weird.

"You cannot escape the fate of death."

"The collapse of Trorian started with you!"
