the last king of darkness

Chapter 370 A New Beginning

After the sacrifice was completed, the nightmare of the dead soul completely disappeared into the air.

The dream gradually returned to normal, white mist filled the air, the night sky was shrouded, and the only star was shining.

The disturbance caused by the sacrifice was no longer visible, but Rhodes keenly felt something different, and a strange sense of oppression appeared in his soul, as if some kind of terrifying existence was approaching him.

He seemed to have fallen into a dark wasteland, and there were countless pairs of eyes spying on him in the shadows, which was creepy and like a thorn on his back.

Rhodes clearly knew that the war with the black mist had already begun.

If the dream was just shooting guns secretly before, then now it is shooting openly.

The Book of Knowledge stared at the ominous face of the obelisk, flapping its pages uneasily, and jumbled words danced across the pages.

"Don't, don't, don't... don't come to the terrorist, and don't want the big devil..."

The puppet said calmly: "Book of Knowledge, don't worry, the source feedback is not so fast, we still have time."

"I know!"

The book of knowledge jumped up, and the pages flew wildly.

"You don't need to say, nothing can exceed my expectations!"

Rhodes coughed and interrupted their quarrel: "Let me ask, is there some source of ultimate terror, as long as it is eliminated, the black mist will disappear, and the world will return to light?"

The book of knowledge turned the pages: "I cannot answer this question precisely, because I cannot prove that it exists, nor can I prove that it does not exist."

"Then why the disturbance will lead to invasion, does the black mist have a will?"

The Book of Knowledge quickly wrote: "I don't know, finding the root of the black mist and unlocking the secret of its existence is the biggest problem for thousands of years."

"However, we have spent thousands of years verifying that there is a mechanism called source feedback in the black mist. Any disturbance caused by the existence that threatens it will, with the passage of time and the intensification of the impact, feedback To the deepest part of the black mist."

"Such feedback will continue to superimpose, and the disturbance and influence will become greater and greater, thereby awakening more and more powerful indescribable things, until we are finally wiped out."

Rhodes smiled and said, "It's not necessarily that we were wiped out."

The Book of Knowledge said angrily: "Our chances of winning are very small now! It is because you believed the advice of a mentally retarded person!"

"Dreams are far greater existences than you think. We have dealt an unprecedented blow to the black mist in the past, and even almost wiped it out. Therefore, in the source feedback of the black mist, there is always our Memory, any disturbance related to dreams, will trigger extremely intense source feedback."

It patted the pages angrily, extremely dissatisfied with Rhodes' choice to believe in the puppet instead of it.

"Do you know what kind of existence we sacrificed just now?"

"A powerful symbiote!"

Rhodes asked: "What is a symbiosis?"

"For thousands of years, countless powerful existences have been eroded, polluted, corrupted, degenerated and festered, but only monsters that have rotted to the limit can be called symbiosis!"

"They are the terrifying guardians of the black mist, the darkest monsters, the most extremely powerful and twisted beings."

"Do you know what it means for us to use the power of dreams to fundamentally wipe out a symbiote that has a special connection with the black mist?"

Rhodes said calmly: "It means that we have angered the entire dark world, but so what? When we become stronger, we will always anger it, and if we are always cautious and timid, we will never Can't get stronger."

The book of knowledge turned the pages, but no words could be written.

For the first time, it discovers that this strange master has an unimaginable other side.

The puppet looked at its owner, and there was a faint flash of light in the dim yellow eyes.

Rhodes said with a smile: "As the puppet said, the world is falling into darkness, and it will be too late if we don't work hard."

The Book of Knowledge jumped up: "That's not what Afro said, it was plagiarized! I actually knew this a long time ago, but I didn't say it on purpose."

"Okay, okay, let's quickly put these dissociated souls into the storage."

"That's right!" The Book of Knowledge ordered loudly: "Afro, quickly put away these soul dissociation objects!"

The puppet did not answer, and silently began to carry it.

The book of knowledge jumps up and down and directs: "Be careful! These elements are very precious! If there is any less, the master will tear you down!"

It turned the book and wrote carefully.

"Master, you must become stronger as soon as possible. The nightmare's soul has provided us with a lot of souls and resources. It makes sense for me to suggest that you sacrifice it. The most important thing is that source of strength."

Rhodes asked curiously: "What's the use?"

The Book of Knowledge said confidently: "With a strong source, you can ignite a big star!"

"What is the big star?"

"Stars that are more powerful from the root have a higher level than other stars, but they need the support of other stars. At our current level, there are two big stars to choose from, and [Soul Burner] can temporarily skip it."

The Book of Knowledge ran to the soul of the obelisk, and with a light touch, the scene inside the soul moved quickly and stopped in front of the two extinguished stars.

"Look!"

Two lines of text appeared before the stars.

One line reads:

【Giant Power】

Ignition needs: 15 billion souls, 15 spirituality, 15 soul firewood, and a strong source.

Another line reads:

【truth】

Ignition needs: 10 pieces of soul firewood, 1 king's soul, and a strong source.

-

Rhodes was shocked. These two stars gave him a very unusual sense of shock, not just the huge demand.

The Book of Knowledge wrote proudly: "We can choose to ignite one of them. If you are not willing to spend so much, you can also degenerate the strong source into 10 sources, but I do not recommend you to do this, it is very Very bad behavior."

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds. Although [Giant Power] and [Truth] both looked very strong, [Truth] needed a king's soul, while [Giant Power] needed more soul, spirituality, and soul firewood. salary.

"The king's soul...comes from a king-level monster?"

The Book of Knowledge answered briefly, "Yes."

"Is it possible for me to get it now?"

"It's hard."

Rhodes let out a sigh of relief: "Then let [Giant Power] be the primary goal."

The Book of Knowledge rarely agreed with his words: "You are right, master, we already have 10 billion souls and 10 spirits."

Rhodes nodded. He knew very well that the most difficult thing was 15 soul firewood, which required 150 divinity points.

"How long is the moment when the stars shine?"

The Book of Knowledge checked the Square of Stars: "About three-quarters of the journey has been completed, and there may be three weeks left. We must obtain as much divinity as possible. As long as there are enough divinities, no invasion will be possible. not afraid."

Rhode's head hurt again, he was really lacking in spirit.

This time, I don't know how much I can get, whether it is enough.

The Book of Knowledge is also very worried, and continues to write: "Master, you have to know that dreams are the protectors of human beings, but we gain divinity through our positive changes and improvements to human beings. The key point is [Your effect】!"

"If it wasn't for your role, we wouldn't be able to obtain divinity."

Rhodes nodded. He had to be stronger in order to change human beings more, hold up human beings who were sliding into the dark abyss, and gain more divinity.

This is a complementary process.

In fact, his growth rate is already very fast, but Rhodes always has a feeling that the stronger he is, the smaller he feels.

On the contrary, when he was very weak, he felt that he was quite strong.

Perhaps, this is the fearlessness of the ignorant.

Rhodes put aside distracting thoughts, and asked again: "What is the use of these 166 ice soul trait blocks?"

The soul trait block is the condensate of the soul, which contains the power of its characteristics. The more powerful the soul, the more it can condense.

It was the first time that Rhodes saw so many soul trait blocks, and he rarely encountered them before.

The Book of Knowledge replied: "The soul trait block has many uses. In addition to being used to transform ordinary people, it can also be taken by people with the same trait to improve the trait."

Rhodes nodded: "I can give it to Mephis, which can be regarded as improving the power of human beings, and it should also have divinity."

The Book of Knowledge quickly replied: "Of course, not only that, the more you change her, the more she will give you back. Can you understand the logic? You should quickly expand your troops and recruit more men and give them power."

"In this way, what they have done for human beings also counts as your divinity!"

Rhodes was shocked, and suddenly, a bright light split his head.

It can be so!

No wonder I always feel that I have so little divinity. It turns out that I have not mastered the correct method!
it is good!
When I go back this time, I must immediately expand the Black Battlegroup, and then train them crazily!

Let them be my wings!

Hahaha.

Rhodes was excited and couldn't wait to go back.

The hot obelisk gave him a premonition that something must be happening outside.

But before that, there are a few more things to do.

"The book, about the techniques for obtaining divinity, you summarize it, and then read it to me verbatim."

The Book of Knowledge glanced sideways at the puppet who was still carrying the pages, and wrote proudly, "Yes! Master!"

Rhodes continued to ask: "Also, what is the use of this nightmare fuel?"

The Book of Knowledge replied graciously: "This is the element used by the Fountain of Hope and the Factory of Dreams. We are going to the Kingdom of Light to find its fragments."

Rhodes nodded: "Book, from now on, all our actions will be accelerated, so don't worry too much about disturbance."

The book of knowledge quickly wrote: "Don't worry, master, with me here, even a pig...you can also become a great dream master."

Rhodes ignored the voice of the Book of Knowledge, and took a last look at the numbers on the obelisk, which had become:

Soul Strength: 672200
Soul Stars: 8
Humanity: 1961 million

Divinity: 0
Spiritless Souls: 10.21 billion

Obelisk: One source, one strong source

Soul Altar: 1028 Souls

Spirituality: 12 million

Storage: 166 Nightmare Fuel, 86891 Ice Soul Trait Blocks, [-] Soul Residue, abbreviated.

I'm so fat...

Accompanied by this thought, Rhode's soul fell rapidly as if weightless, and the blurred fog passed by his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, what he saw were countless people watching him, and a golden flame that enveloped him.

"This……"

Rhodes only opened his mouth to say half a word, and the whistling sound in the hall came to his face.

"Wake up! Lord Rhodes finally woke up!"

"Great! I knew he was going to wake up when I saw the hoarfrost on him disappear!"

"As expected of His Royal Highness Qingyu!"

"Long live the fire of protection! Long live the fire of life! Long live the fire of light!"

"Praise the fire! Praise the sun! Praise His Royal Highness Qingyu!"

How is this going?

Rhodes didn't know why, and when he was about to stand up, a clear and gentle voice rang in his ears: "Are you feeling better?"

This is Qingyu's voice.

It was only then that Rhode discovered that the flame was in human form, and Qingyu's appearance could be vaguely seen.

This... me and Qingyu merged?

In the next moment, Rhodes understood what was going on.

Oh it's you!No wonder so much heat can suddenly be emitted from the obelisk.

Rhodes was moved, and immediately replied: "I'm fine, Your Highness Qingyu!"

Qingyu smiled slightly, briefly explained the strange situation before, and asked, "Do you know what happened to you?"

The white wolf walked over with a gloomy face: "Did that unknown Mephis curse you? I will immediately notify the Internal Affairs Tribunal and the Silver Oath to arrest her!"

Rhodes was taken aback, and immediately replied: "No, it's not her! I was cursed by a monster in the spirit world, and it has nothing to do with Mephis."

The White Wolf looked at him hesitantly: "The White Tower once gave you two prophecies, one is that someone around you will hurt you, and the other is that you will encounter a huge crisis in the near future. Archbishop Horus made these two things Tell me, let me watch you closely, now it seems that the crisis just now is obviously the crisis mentioned in the prophecy, but the person who hurt you by your side has not been found."

Qingyu smiled and said: "The prophecy may not be accurate, the important thing is that Little Rhodes is safe and sound."

White Wolf said with a gloomy face, "Not necessarily."

After that, under the arrangement of White Wolf, Rhodes carried out a comprehensive health care. All the nuns and sisters were full of praise, saying that no matter how healthy he was, he had no problems with his functions.

White Wolf specially invited Priscilla, the soul master.

After watching her private movie several times, Rhodes once again managed to reach a deep state with Priscilla.

Afterwards, Priscilla issued a professional report, stating that Rhode's soul had no problems, was very pure, and was not cursed.

At this point, the white wolf was completely relieved.

Rhodes also returned to the battle, except for this small episode, everything seemed to be the same.

Only Rhodes knew that everything was different.

-

Empire.

white tower.

observatory.

On the huge planetarium, Meredith, the lord of the White Tower, looked up at the sky. The extraordinary power assisted his eyes to penetrate the black fog and see the magnificent starry sky.
"The stars are changing... The obsidian stars are in reverse, and the sequence stars are parallel. Ah, an unknown disturbance has occurred in the spiritual world, and a powerful force is rising."

"The future, what about the future?"

The planetarium made of star steel roared and turned, and misty spiritual energy rose from all directions and converged on Meredith.

"Well, I saw the boundless darkness, the black tide rising in the sea, is it a disaster?"

"No, no, there are stars twinkling in the darkness, that is hope...but where is hope?"

More mist-like spiritual energy flew over, and the whole white tower was shining brightly, attracting the attention of countless people.

"Hope, hope, I want to know where is hope? Where is it?"

Meredith found a clue, but it was too ethereal to catch.

He searched eagerly, unleashing all his strength.

Suddenly, with a piercing bang, the planetarium shattered, and large pieces of tracks fell down and hit the observatory.

"teacher!"

Countless prophets and students were alarmed, and Iyeta in the white robe rushed to the teacher's side at the fastest speed, and helped him up from the steel ruins.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

The noble Lord of the White Tower was in a state of distress at the moment, his robe was full of damage and dust, his soul was weak, his spiritual energy was disordered, and even his beard was torn off by something.

"I see destruction and life in destiny."

Meredith pushed aside the student's support and looked up at the starry sky.

"But I didn't find their source."

Iyeta said anxiously: "Teacher, such a vague prophecy can't explain anything..."

"Do not."

Meredith looked calm, but determined.

"You don't understand what touched my inspiration at that time. I must obtain this prophecy."

"Teacher, you mean..."

Meredith said lightly: "Get ready, the final Prophecy Ceremony of the Source."

"This time, I will definitely be able to glimpse the real future of mankind."

-

Empire.

Deep in the sewers.

in the cave.

Sombra sat on his stone throne, leafing through the Book of Fate.

Repairing this quaint tome, which now looks incomplete due to multiple damages, was a very long process.

Therefore, during this period of time, Sombra did not use this book.

But just today, he suddenly opened it on a whim.

A smile gradually bloomed on Hei Ying's face, and he quickly laughed wildly.

"Hahahahaha!"

A doomsday bishop immediately asked: "Headmaster, what did you see?"

"I see the shadow of death, the future of destruction, the nightmare is about to come, and the dark demon will come to the world to purify this last place of resistance!"

All the believers said in unison: "Praise the darkness! Praise the black mist!"

Black Shadow laughed wildly: "This is fate! Those who defy fate will not end well!"

"Give me more assassination efforts! As long as you get rid of him, the dark era will come soon, and I will rule this world!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Laughter echoed in the cave, and Rhodes didn't know what kind of nightmare he was about to face.
