the last king of darkness

Chapter 389 A True Human Hero

At the moment when the shining stars ended, the blue light that soaked the entire spiritual world disappeared, and there was an illusion that the sky was covered by dark clouds.

The scattered black mist reunited, covering the distant starry sky.

The ancient gate was closed again, the strange feeling disappeared, and everything returned to normal.

The changes in the material world were not so obvious, but everyone could faintly feel that the darkness was growing, the rising fire began to recede, and the black mist gradually became thicker.

Rhodes, who was exhausted to the limit, had no time to feel it, and fell into the rocking chair of the House of God, falling into a dreamless sleep.

When he woke up again, everything had returned to the state before the stars came.

Rhodes stood up and stretched his waist long. He felt refreshed and full of energy. Thunder-like power rolled through his body, and most of his spiritual energy had recovered.

Looking around, the Book of Knowledge was lying on its back in the room, sleeping soundly, the pages trembling with its psionic breathing, it seemed that it was extremely tired.

The puppet fell lifelessly beside the stone platform, its will still controlling the phantom in the temple of fire, as if it wanted to know more about this surviving human civilization.

Rhodes walked out of the House of God, saw the crystal wall full of souls on the soul altar not far away, and couldn't help smiling.

Looking at the obelisk again, the smile grew wider.

During these seven days, after excluding all the consumption, he gained a total of 125 points of divinity!
Among them, Star City's single income is the most dazzling, earning 40 points at one time, accounting for one-third of the total.

This harvest is not insignificant.

In just seven days, half of the divinity that had been worked so hard before was achieved. I have to say that the efficiency of the spiritual strike is really extraordinary.

But it wasn't for the shining stars, he wouldn't be able to use it like this, the divinity would have been exhausted long ago.

This opportunity is really great!
Rhodes was extremely happy.

His divinity has reached 290 now, which is almost equal to the divinity cost of igniting [Giant Power].

After that, whether it is to use divinity to deal with crises, or to use divinity to enhance one's own combat power, it is all feasible.

These 290 points of divinity are what he relies on to survive the nightmare night.

hum.

Rhodes couldn't help showing a smile.

Come on, just come on, no matter what kind of weird twist exists, it is impossible to defeat me!
I am the destroyer of darkness!
Wow ha ha ha ha!
boom!
There was a sudden shock in the dream, Rhodes' laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at the ominous side of the obelisk in disbelief, which emitted a strong red light.

"what happened?"

A bad premonition flooded Rhodes' heart.
"No, what did I do again?"

The ominous side of the obelisk heralds the invasion, and it's never a good thing to glow red.

Both the book of knowledge and the puppet were awakened by the changes in the dream, and rushed over.

The dazzling red light flickered, covering most of the dream.

The Book of Knowledge slammed its pages and shouted, "Master Idiot, what are you doing?"

Rhodes replied confusedly: "I don't know, I just bragged and cheered myself up..."

The puppet said calmly: "Book of Knowledge, you can't question the master like this."

The Book of Knowledge furiously said: "You know what, Afro, this master is stupid and dumb, without me, the dream is early...uh."

Rhodes raised his middle finger, and the book of knowledge changed the answer at the speed of light.

"It's already stronger."

Rhode snorted, turned around and asked, "Afro, do you know what happened?"

The puppet said lightly: "It is the source feedback caused by the disturbance, which intensifies the invasion. We have used the spirit world to strike too many times. The disturbance is superimposed on everything, breaking through the critical value. After the stars shine, the source feedback immediately spreads. It has taken effect, and after the red light is over, the time for the invasion should be shortened considerably."

Rhodes frowned: "Is your judgment accurate?"

The tone of the puppet remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Accurate, my soul has recovered a lot, and I remembered a lot of things. Fighting against the black mist is an instinct rooted in my memory. Only the loss of my soul can make me forget it...Master, I need more soul and spirit."

"How much?"

"Twenty million souls and twenty thousand spirits every day."

In the past, this was an unimaginable number, but for Rhodes now, it is not particularly difficult.

Not to mention that he has just completed a feast of souls, the harvested souls and their decomposition products are very rich, fully supporting its consumption.

"Okay." Rhodes waved his hand and agreed, "You can eat as much as you want, but if you don't have enough, you can find me."

The puppet bowed slightly: "Yes, master."

Aside, if the Book of Knowledge had teeth, it had been crushed hundreds of times.

But the soul fragment obtained by the puppet last time is very large, and its soul integrity has far exceeded its own, and it really needs so many soul resources to recover.

Moreover, from the perspective of invasion, the more powerful the doll is, the better.

But the book of knowledge is very unhappy.

Obviously it came first, obviously it was the first to restore the soul, but the fragments were a little smaller, it could not eat so many resources, and the owner was still very poor at that time, so it had to choose the most economical but longest way to restore soul.

It paid so much for the owner, but why did things become like this?

Obtaining divinity, restoring the dream, and growing the master are obviously three joys, but why can't it feel any of it?

The Book of Knowledge was very unhappy. It thought it was all because it hadn't recovered more souls, so that the broken puppet took the lead and got the limelight.

It silently made up its mind that as long as it gets the dream fragments in the Kingdom of Light, no matter how much it recovers, it must eat twice as much as that broken doll!
Rhodes didn't know what the Book of Knowledge was thinking, but just stared at the red light nervously.

After about a quarter of an hour, the red light gradually fell, and the scarlet letter on the omen's face appeared.

The countdown has shortened!

It was originally 33 days, but after another 9 days, it should be 24 days.

And now, only 12 days left.

The sense of urgency of the invasion came to his heart at once, and Rhodes couldn't help clenching his fists.

The book of knowledge said first: "Master, don't panic. The next thing you need to do is to improve your strength with all your strength, accumulate the gains during this period, and transform them into actual strength."

Rhodes nodded, and asked the key question: "How to use divinity?"

The Book of Knowledge pondered for a moment.

"Spirit World Strike cannot hit the target inside the dream, we can only hit it at the moment the invasion arrives, maybe three to four times."

"The blade of divinity consumes 30 points of divinity, and it has a strong restraint on the black mist symbiosis. It is a must."

"In addition, the consumption of divine ability greatly strengthens the power of the dream, creating an unprecedented suppression of monsters."

"To be on the safe side, we need to reserve at least 250 divinity points to deal with this invasion."

Rhode's heart sank, this number was far higher than he imagined.

If too much divinity is used against enemies, his growth will slow down.

You must know that igniting another big star [Truth] requires 10 pieces of soul firewood, and igniting the [Soul Burner] also requires 9 pieces of soul firewood.

Regardless of whether it is a blow to the spiritual world, [Sense of the Gods], [Sharp Blue], [Stone of Resurrection], or [Powerful Soul Ashes], they all require divinity.

290 points of divinity may seem like a lot, but if you really use it, it will be consumed in an instant.

At this time, the puppet suddenly said: "Master, by the time of the invasion, my existing soul should be fully recovered, I can bear more divinity, and my fighting posture will be stronger."

The Book of Knowledge twisted the page in dissatisfaction: "That's 255 points. In that case, we only have 35 points of divinity left to freely control."

Rhode's heart sank. After his psionic energy broke through a certain limit, he could only ignite the stars in full state.

He can't go back to the past circle, but in the current circle, 35 points of divinity can't ignite any stars.

In other words, it is impossible for him to have the tenth star before the invasion is over.

The puppet said calmly: "Master, although you can't ignite new stars, you can improve your combat power, master more skills and combat skills, obtain powerful items and resources from humans, and find more dream fragments. "

"Yes." The Book of Knowledge rarely refuted it, "If we can easily eliminate the invaders, we can save a lot of divinity."

Rhode nodded and understood what it meant.

There is only one thing to do next, and that is to become stronger!
He glanced at the number on the top of the obelisk, which read:

Soul Strength: 1502000
Soul Stars: 9
Humanity: 2191 million

Divinity: 290
Spiritless Souls: 5.1 billion

Obelisk: 1 sources
灵魂祭坛：3个非常伟大的灵魂，21个伟大的灵魂（含3份源），123个非常强大的灵魂（含2份源），1815个其它灵魂

Spirituality: 51201
Storage: 10 Nightmare Fuel, 119891 Soul Residue, 6 Flowers of Human Nature, slightly.

Special Items: 8 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Undying Spirit, 1 Twisting Balance, 3 Clock of Light
-

The flower of humanity is a bit lacking...the star mark is used too much.

Rhodes thought, the soul fell from the dream and returned to the material world.

The first thing he has to do is to perform the psionic level-up ceremony.

It's not a problem that psionic energy is always leaking like this, not only will it cause a lot of damage, but it is also very detrimental to his soul. What annoys Rhodes the most is that the psionic energy fluctuations emitted all the time are as eye-catching as light bulbs. Wherever he went, people covered their eyes and shouted.

"It's so dazzling! Whose psionic power is it?"

"Have you had enough? My eyes are blind!"

And the doomsday believers can always find him by virtue of this, and present him with various indescribable things in various unimaginable ways.

This simply became the biggest haze for Rhodes during this time.

Wang Cheng doesn't pay much attention to this matter. They think that Rhodes has been tested in the sewer for a long time, and he is not afraid of small piles of shit. Doomsday cultists want to use this method to pollute Rhodes' mind and cause his soul to blacken, right? possible success.

Therefore, precious manpower and material resources were not used to protect Rhodes from being disturbed.

Of course, under the pressure of Rhodes, Lucian, the head of the Internal Affairs Tribunal, was still trying his best to hunt down the Doomsday Cultists, but they got dizzy in the sewers and didn't make much progress.

Rhodes has no time to bother with these flies, getting rid of them is the best result.

The ascension ceremony of the tenth-level psionic ability is a very high-level ceremony, and its preparation takes a very long time, but Rhodes' situation is special, and Wangcheng specially approved the expedited process.

There are at least [-] logistics personnel dedicated to this matter, and when Rhodes proposed to carry out the ceremony, it was already ready.

On the day of the ceremony, Wangcheng sent three guardians to assist, and Archbishop Horus personally attended the ceremony.

Of course, it was Miss Mina who presided over the ceremony. A lot of practical experience shows that the success rate of the ceremony is much higher when the same person holds the ceremony.

Otherwise, at Miss Mina's level, it would be impossible for her to participate in this level of ceremony.

The ceremony was held in a special ceremony hall in the royal city.

Rhodes was stripped down to only one underpants and lying on the ceremony platform in the shape of a square. The three guardians stood in three directions. The powerful spiritual energy was connected through the spiritual energy crystals all over the field, and the strong spiritual light surrounded the ceremony platform in a certain pattern. flashing.

Not far away, Horus reprimanded the flustered Mina with a serious face.

Mina is both wronged and fearful. She is just a researcher at the Engineering Research Institute. Her ideal is to find the ultimate truth to save the world, but she is far from taking that step. She has never seen such a big scene. Archbishop, guardian Or, for her, they are all big figures out of reach.

The tenth-level promotion ceremony is also extremely complicated, and she can't control it. The more Horus talks, the more confused her mind becomes.

The situation froze, and at this moment, Rhodes suddenly snapped his fingers.

"Sister Mina, I heard from them that every time the ceremony is successfully performed, the frequency of my spiritual energy resonating with your spiritual energy will be further improved."

"Ah... yes, but..."

"If this is done this time, won't our psychic powers be synchronized?"

"Well, it seems like, maybe..."

"Psionic energy is the power of the soul. If the spiritual energy is synchronized, is the soul also synchronized?"

Mina's face flushed slightly: "I don't know, I..."

"Do you know how much knowledge is hidden in my soul? Do you know how much I know about the truth of the world? The textbooks I gave you... cough, writing, how much do you understand?"

Mina froze for a moment: "You mean..."

Rhodes smiled and said, "That's right, if you resonate with my soul, wouldn't you be able to gain so much knowledge about the truth?"

Horus frowned, obviously not agreeing with Rhodes' words.

But he didn't say much, but made up his mind that if it doesn't work, the ceremony must be forcibly interrupted.

Owners of tenth-level psychic abilities are numerous in the entire royal city, not to mention a supernova like Rhodes, his promotion ceremony must not have any risk.

In fact, if it weren't for Rhodes' strong request, the ceremony would be impossible to hold today.

But a miracle happened at this time.

All of a sudden, Mina seemed to be a different person. Her comprehension was greatly improved, and her concentration was highly concentrated. The hurdles that she couldn't get past before all of a sudden passed, and her progress soared instantly.

After two correct drills, Horus announced the start of the ceremony. He stood at the last corner of the rhombus and raised his hands together with the three guardians.

The super-powerful psionic energy emits a huge amount of white light, forming an extremely complicated nonagon.

Horus shouted: "Psionicization!"

In an instant, all four of them turned into pure white psionic forms.

Horus shouted: "Field!"

All four of them spread out an invisible ripple, the space changed, the spiritual energy condensed into a liquid state, and the light was completely restrained.

Horus snapped, "Mina, what are you waiting for?"

Mina took a deep breath and began to move the psionic crystal in the ceremony to change the route of psionic energy and radiate it to every part of Rhodes in a fixed order.

The liquid light is refracted in the crystal and radiates without limit, forming a beautiful pattern.

Mina moved carefully in the crystal array, steadily gathering all the light on Rhodes, and then put her hand on Rhodes' forehead, contacting his soul, and guiding the power of the sun crystal to combine with it.

This process was very meticulous and lengthy, and any mistake would lead to the collapse of the soul structure. Mina guided steadily without any mistakes.

One day and two nights passed like this, and when the last sun crystal was consumed, Rhodes' entire soul burst into extremely bright light, and the light penetrated the entire ceremony site, illuminating half of the royal city.

For a moment, most of the people in the royal city looked over, and ecstatic expressions appeared on their faces.

They knew that at this moment, another strong human being was born.

-

Sealand military training base.

Annabelle jumped off the psionic running belt and said happily, "It must be Rhodes!"

Mephis stared at the light silently, without saying a word.

Kashan is still immersed in beating the wooden man on the training ground, and she has discovered a method that can greatly improve efficiency.

"Bastard! Lied to me!"

"The heartless man!"

"Scumbag!"

"go to hell!"

-

Temple of Fire.

Dalin stood on the edge of the cliff, and the light shone through the black mist into his eyes.

"it is good."

Under the gray temples, there was a bright smile on his thin face like a knife.

"There is another second-level combatant in the temple, another real strongman in Trorian, and another giant pillar for the human race."

-

Supreme Council.

Armando raised his cloudy eyes and murmured: "Finally, I finally see another ray of hope."

-

Holy Fire Sacrificial Site.

Wang, who had just killed several restless spirit world monsters, suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the ceremony hall.

"Oh, I finally feel that little Rhodes' spiritual energy has changed."

The king snapped his fingers, and a ray of flame floated down from the golden holy fire, surrounding his body.

"Maybe, I can go to the high-level spirit world to see what's there."

-

Ceremony hall.

The moment the ceremony was completed, Mina was exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

Several staff immediately rushed up and carried her down.

Rhodes looked at his hands, carefully sensing the feeling of the tenth-level spiritual energy wandering in his body.

Horus came over, even though his face was full of exhaustion, he still couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Rhodes. From now on, you are Trorian's core combat force. You must know that fourth-level combatants can only be called the preparations for the strong, and third-level combatants can barely be regarded as entry-level strongmen." By."

"The second-level fighters can be regarded as the real strong human beings who can carry the beam."

Guardian Li Liwei patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Little Rhodes, congratulations! Every time I see you, I can see the figure of the chief dean. You have lived up to his expectations."

Guardian Feiyan smiled and said, "May the light of the fire illuminate your path."

The guardian Churchill held his hand and laughed heartily: "We can finally fight side by side!"

An unprecedented powerful force reverberated in Rhodes' body and soul, and he felt as if he had broken through a certain bottleneck and came to a wider space.

A strong passion rose in his chest, and he stood up abruptly, holding everyone's hands.

"The flame will never go out, and mankind will surely win!"

All four of them smiled and replied in unison.

"No matter how powerful the darkness is, we will never give in!"

-

Deep in the sewers.

Hei Ying was blown away by the Book of Fate in his hand again.

Due to multiple explosions, the Book of Fate has been damaged beyond repair.

"what is this?"

Black Shadow looked at the Book of Fate in disbelief. There was a faint line of writing on the damaged page, the handwriting was incomplete, and only part of it could be faintly seen——

"...eating the delicacy that has been deposited for 8000 years...poisoned and died..."

There is no doubt that the prophecy of the Book of Fate has failed again.

A doomsday bishop said cautiously: "Maybe it's not to his taste?"

Another doomsday bishop scolded: "It has been deposited for 8000 years. Is there any more delicious poop than this? I think you are too ostentatious and let him see the toxins inside! His willpower is terrible, no You'll be fooled easily!"

"Not necessarily!"

One person argues hard.

"We have done the most covertly. It must not suit his taste. Just like the food we eat, different races, different humans, and different years of stool must have different tastes. We can't tell the difference, but the king of devouring stool How can you not tell the difference?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It must be something wrong with the poop in the sewer!"

The doomsday bishop scolded: "Fart! I think you are shirking responsibility! Your actions are too rough. Don't you suspect that a stranger suddenly appeared and put food on your face? It must be you A group of idiots ruined the plan of the Grand Leader!"

"What did you say!"

"All right!"

The shadow interrupted them.

"The plan itself is correct. I have already asked Void three times. The identity of the king of devouring poop is impossible to be wrong. From now on, don't poison for a while. You have to test every kind of poop to find the one that suits him best. The kind that tastes sneaky in his usual food."

"Let him relax his vigilance gradually, and then poison him suddenly, he will surely succeed, understand?"

All the doomsday believers bowed together and said: "Yes, the great leader!"

The black shadow ignored them, and the black and red fleshy mud flew up from the ground, sank into the Book of Fate, and repaired its damage.

The power of the Book of Fate gradually recovered, and the shadow also showed a sneer.

"You can't escape, your death is doomed."

"And when we plunder your power, the end of mankind will also come."

"Hahahaha, the destruction of Trorian begins with you."
