the last king of darkness

Chapter 441 Dreamland, Stars, Divinity (Part [-])
Rhode raised his hand slightly, and the Feather of Wind flew up gently, sinking into the obelisk.

In the deep surface of the stele, a star suddenly emitted a bright light, flooding the dream.

After a while, the light shrank like a tide, the dreamland shook slightly, and the obelisk rose again.

Today it is already a tower over a hundred yards high.

Rhode noticed that a hidden hole appeared in the night sky of the sky, as if it was its quantified position in the future.

On the surface of the obelisk, the light of [Wind Phantom] became darker, like a tulle fluttering under the moonlight, looming.

A line of text floated above the starlight.

【Phantom of the Wind】

[Status: Origin]

【Position: Above the Spirit World】

[Star Energy: Phantom of the Strong Wind]

[Strength: 770000]

[Description: They don't know, I miss you looking back and smiling when you took the initiative to hold me. 】

-

A row of red letters below.

[Wind Phantom] has begun quantification.

Look down again.

[Phantom of Strong Wind]: The absolute resonance of the soul makes the summoned phantom no longer consume extra spiritual energy, and the perfect wind endows the phantom with stronger vitality.

Any damage suffered by the summoner will be transferred to the phantom until it disappears.

Every time it is used, it must reach a state of strong resonance with the soul.

Current resonance level: 1%
-

The moment he read the text, Rhodes' eyes widened suddenly.

This is too strong!
For a long time, the [Wind Phantom], which has a weak sense of existence, has been super-strengthened unprecedentedly after being quantified.

The reason why the previous phantom was tasteless was because the phantom itself was extremely fragile, and the damage received by the phantom would be fed back to Rhodes' soul, causing serious damage to him.

Moreover, Phantom's spiritual energy consumption is twice that of Rhodes himself.

Rhodes' powerful stars consume a lot of spiritual energy. If it is not very lack of explosive output, there is no need to use the phantom.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that [Wind Phantom] is the least used star of Rhodes.

Although its ability is extremely powerful, its disadvantages are also very obvious.

But after being quantified, it changed.

Phantom no longer has extra psionic energy consumption, and Phantom no longer transfers damage, and can even transfer the damage he takes.

Currently, Rhodes doesn't know how tough this phantom is.

But looking at the description of the skill, it shouldn't be particularly brittle.

In this way, this tasteless astral energy suddenly became a super star energy without any side effects!

The only problem is that it has an extra level of resonance, and it seems that it can only be used if it has reached a strong resonance state with itself.

"Book, how long does it take for it to resonate?"

The Book of Knowledge replied: "When the resonance level reaches 80%, it can be used. It only takes one day."

"But the phantom summoned at this time is incomplete and relatively fragile. I suggest that you wait until the resonance reaches 100% before summoning. The phantom at this time is complete and very tough."

"How long does it take to fully resonate?"

"The last stage of resonance is very difficult, depending on your state, usually between ten days and 30 days, you can also actively meditate to resonate with it."

Under the teaching of the Book of Knowledge, Rhodes quickly learned to resonate with [Phantom of the Wind].

He tried it and found that if he was efficient, it took a day or two to get the resonance to 100%.

This time, Rhodes was overjoyed.

[Wind Phantom] is simply too strong!

Not only the star energy has undergone a great transformation, but even the spiritual energy has increased a lot.

The strength of 77 is only weaker than the 82 of the Great Star [Giant Power].

Rhodes smiled happily, and he had already noticed a new force surging up in his soul, as if his young and vigorous body was full of inexhaustible energy.

His soul power has grown stronger again.

"Book."

Rhodes turned around and asked.

"What level am I in your cognition?"

The Book of Knowledge tried its best not to let the pattern on its writing move, and said in a tone as if holding shit.

"Master, you have broken away from the realm of mortals and stepped into the realm of the extraordinary. In the era when I have residual memories, this is the threshold to fight the real darkness."

It turned out to be the threshold... Rhodes was a little disappointed, and asked instead: "What do you mean by the real darkness you often talk about?"

"That is beyond the distant borders of the four continents, the area known as the Dark Taboo. It is said that it is the birthplace of the black mist, and the original black mist appeared from there."

Rhodes frowned.

"Continental boundaries? What are continental boundaries?"

The Book of Knowledge paused for a moment. This part of knowledge was also very heavy for it. With its current level of soul, it could not express it with sound and could only be written on paper.

"Continental boundaries refer to the limit of human activities. The real continent has no boundaries, and we don't know where its boundaries are."

"No boundaries?" Rhodes frowned, "How could there be no boundaries? Is there no end to the world?"

The Book of Knowledge slowly wrote: "The real end of the world does not exist. If you keep walking in one direction, you will only get lost in the infinite foggy ocean. For us, the boundary is the limit of human exploration. In this Outside the scope, everything is unknown.”

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "Book, what is the world like?"

The handwriting on the Book of Knowledge became even slower, and each word was very hard.

"If you want to describe it, the world is an island floating in the infinite spiritual world, but the island itself is infinite, and the spiritual world is also infinite. The material space is an incomprehensible miracle. How did the more primitive spiritual world evolve into such a thing? The material space is a mystery that all gods want to know."

Rhodes was silent for a long time, this world cannot be deduced by his previous conventional understanding, its birth and formation cannot be explained by common sense.

"Book, let me ask a question, are there any other islands like us in the ocean of the spirit world?"

The handwriting of the Book of Knowledge became extremely slow, but it was still firmly written.

"No."

"why?"

With a snap, the Book of Knowledge collapsed to the ground like it fell apart, and every corner spread out, showing its powerlessness.

"Master, these questions consume too much for me, I can't take it anymore."

Rhodes was a little regretful, the book of knowledge has a cost and consumption to acquire knowledge, this cost decreases with the integrity of its soul, now, the soul of the book of knowledge is much more complete than in the past, before asking these questions, it at least Rare supplies needed to eat the next house.

Now, it only needs to eat normally, and it can gradually recover.

"Sorry, my damn thirst for knowledge just popped up, maybe that's why I'm so good."

The book of knowledge moved a bit, and it looked like it wanted to speak wild words, but when thinking of the consequences, it swallowed the words again.

"Master, we are going to ignite No. 11 stars."

Rhodes immediately became excited. After receiving the gift of fate, he already possessed 43 billion soulless souls and 15 pieces of firewood. any star.

However, there are only 8 sources, which restricts his choice.

The Book of Knowledge slowly turned the pages, and after a while, happily wrote: "That's right, this star is the most suitable, it can make up for the master's current lack of ability."

"Ignite it requires 8 million souls, 8 sources, and 8 soul firewood."

Rhodes did not hesitate, picked up 8 pieces of soul firewood from the pedestal, and lightly touched the surface of the monument with his forehead.

The space flipped, and he came to the Soul Wasteland again.

The book of knowledge guided him in the direction, allowing him to fly over the countless ashes of the campfire. In this quiet and dark land, only a few faint fires were burning.

Soon, Rhodes landed on the ground where the ashes of the campfire became sparse.

In front of him was a mass of pure white ashes, slightly taller than Rhodes, and two white characters emerged from the ashes.

【blank】

It's a weird name, I don't know what it's for.

But Rhodes trusts the Book of Knowledge very much, and it has never made any mistakes in choosing stars.

With one hand in each hand, he put 8 pieces of soul firewood into the ashes. With a thought, 8 pieces of invisible sources and 8 million spiritless souls fell from the sky.

boom!
Pale flames rose from the ashes, burning in the air with a menacing momentum.

A line of white writing emerged from the flames.

【blank】

[Status: Constant burning]

【Star Energy: Time of Empty】

[Injection: None]

【Fire: No】

【Quantitative: Origin of Emptiness】

【Position: Eternal Flame】

[Strength: 180000]

[Description: I held up the torch in the polar night and walked into the birch forest where she left. 】

-

[Time of Empty]: This is the domain of emptiness, fill your soul with emptiness, and let your soul last for a quarter of an hour in the current state of the soul, unless it dies, it will not be changed in any way.

-

After reading it, Rhodes froze in place, and read it twice before he understood its meaning.

[Time of Empty] can maintain the state of his soul at the moment of use. After that, whether it is weakness, pollution, pollution, or mutation, except for the death of the soul, any abnormal state will not appear.

After maintaining it for a quarter of an hour, these abnormal changes were long overdue.

Perfect match!

Rhodes understood in an instant!
This star is a perfect match for him.

You must know that most of the powerful skills that Rhodes currently possesses have powerful side effects. The soul weakness of [Giant Power] and the soul consumption of [Crimson Tears] can make him directly lose his combat effectiveness.

If one hit doesn't kill the enemy, that's bad.

[Time of Empty] perfectly made up for this shortcoming, it can delay the weakness of the soul caused by using these stars until a quarter of an hour later.

In other words, within this quarter of an hour, he will remain as usual and will not lose his fighting power.

too strong!
Rhodes looked up to the sky and laughed, and even hugged the Book of Knowledge in his arms and kissed it.

The Book of Knowledge covered itself with its pages and ran away: "Master, what are you doing? This is not allowed..."

In ecstasy, Rhodes didn't notice the words of the Book of Knowledge, and turned his gaze to the top of the obelisk, where the numbers had become:
Soul Strength: 3302000
Soul Stars: 11
Humanity: 2122 million

Divinity: 2
Spiritless Souls: 35 billion

Obelisk: None

Soul Altar: 2 extremely great souls, 15 great souls, 11 very powerful souls
Spirituality: 32111
Source energy: 23
Storage: 11 soul residues, 12 flowers of humanity, 30 nightmare materials, 7 soul firewood, omitted.

Special Items: 7 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Undying Spirit, 1 Twisting Balance, 1 Clock of Light
-

The divinity was originally 3 points, but the puppet used a little before and it became 2 points.

Spiritless souls are the most consumed dream material, and they are used for almost everything, but their number has not decreased but increased, skyrocketing to 35 billion. For a long period of time in the future, Rhodes will not have to worry about it.

The source inside the obelisk has been depleted.

Due to the lack of spirituality, some souls were sacrificed by Rhodes.

The strength of his soul has risen from 265 million to 330 million. According to previous logic calculations, his current spiritual strength should exceed 6600 kilocuts.

Rhodes clenched his hands, took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy was running to the limit, and he punched out.

There was only a loud explosion, and a circle of shock waves exploded in the air, more than a quarter larger than the last time in the training ground.

I got stronger again.

Rhodes secretly delighted.

The importance of the Holy Fire Project to mankind is self-evident. In this battlefield, more powerful power means more divinity.

More divinity can not only bring him more power, but also escort his way forward.

That's right.

Rhodes clenched his hands.

Whether it's clearing the threat outside Starry Sky City or attacking Starry Sky City, I must play the greatest role possible.

After all, according to the book of knowledge, he has just stepped into the palace of the strong.

In a war that concerns the survival of mankind, he is alone.

According to the general rules of psionic power, the threshold for level 15000 psionic power is [-] thousand cuts.

And he has to reach at least the thirteenth level of psionic ability before he can consider going to a higher level.

But under normal circumstances, Herrschers are generally fourteenth-level psionic powers.

Without such a strong power, it is difficult to completely control the source law in the soul, and it is easy to lose control.

From the eleventh to the thirteenth level of psionic ability, they are all within the category of extraordinary people, and there are also people who have reached the fourteenth level of psionic ability and have not yet been able to advance.

Thinking about it this way, Rhodes suddenly felt that he still had a long way to go, without lighting up a few big stars, it would be difficult for him to raise his spiritual energy to that level.

Ordinary stars can no longer satisfy his needs for spiritual energy.

Rhodes set his sights on another big star that the Book of Knowledge had chosen for him.

【truth】

Its demand is not high, only 10 Soul Pyrene.

According to the Book of Knowledge, this is the lowest demand among the big stars, but in Rhodes' view, it is still difficult to ignite it to reach the sky.

Because in addition to 10 soul firewood, it also needs a strong source and a king's soul.

It is understandable that a strong source is needed to ignite any big star.

The key is the king's soul.

Obviously, this requires Rhodes to kill a king-level monster.

The Spirit Eater King who is about to invade is undoubtedly the best target, but that invasion itself is a huge test.

The most ideal way is for him to obtain the soul of the Starry Queen in the battle of Starry Sky City 20 days later.

In this way, he will use an unprecedentedly powerful posture to deal with the invasion of the Soul Devourer King.

Of course, Rhodes still has no idea about the crucial battle that determines the survival of human beings. No one knows what is in Starry Sky City, the former Queen of Stars, and what it is now.

These are all things that Wang and the top people in Trorian need to consider.

Although Rhodes is very familiar with them, he hasn't reached that level yet, so he doesn't need to think about that aspect for the time being.

Fighting better and completing more missions are the only things he needs to consider right now.

-

However, his weak state has not been relieved. At present, Rhodes can only lie in the rocking chair temporarily, resting in the light of the embers.

The sequelae of [Giant Power] are really too serious.

Rhodes was very dissatisfied, and asked the Book of Knowledge: "Book, is there any way to completely eliminate the sequelae of [Giant Power]?"

The Book of Knowledge turned the page and wrote hesitantly: "There should be, but I can't remember it for the time being. However, in my vague impression, this star doesn't seem to have this kind of disadvantage, maybe because it hasn't yet. The completion is quantified, and the defects that appear because it is not complete."

"If it can be advanced to another level, it may reach a more perfect state like [Phantom of the Wind]."

Rhodes glanced at it, and the source matter required by [Tianjin Power] is the "Tianguin Core".

He noticed that, unlike the source matter of other stars, it was written in red letters.

"Book, why is it red?"

The Book of Knowledge replied: "This shows that this source matter is unique."

Rhodes frowned slightly. He remembered that the source matter was condensed from the heavy turbid source law at the beginning of the world's formation, and it was scattered all over the world.

To put it simply, the source matter is the condensed matter of laws, which has special magical power, and humans generally use it to make powerful weapons.

"You mean, the source law it represents is unique?"

The Book of Knowledge corrected his statement: "There is no unique statement for the law of origin, and they cannot be repeated. It is just that some laws of origin have a larger scope and are broken into many fragments, so there will be plural source matter, and plural The corresponding soul characteristics."

"The core of the giant god is the source matter of the highly condensed law of origin, without splitting, so it is unique."

Rhodes asked: "What does it represent?"

The Book of Knowledge hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Some kind of source law called 'Giant God', the light part is in the Sea of ​​Origin, and the heavy part is the Titan's core."

Rhodes nodded slightly, and only by finding the core of the giant god can Xingchen fully grasp this part of the source law and complete quantification.

However, since it is the only one, the difficulty of finding it has greatly increased.

Moreover, according to the law of black mist gathering, the more powerful the substance, the more powerful monsters will exist.

Obtaining it is certainly not an easy task.

Rhodes buried it in his heart, planning to think of a solution after the battle of Starry Sky City.

The quantification of the stars is also one of the important ways for him to become stronger. Although controlling this source law is a dream, the power of the dream is also equal to his strength. Only with more sources can the dream have more energy.

According to the book of knowledge, there are many weapons in the dream, and they all need energy.

The war between dreams and the spirit world was the main theme of their period.

The Book of Knowledge even boasted that in the period of the previous master, it was responsible for the battle of dreams, and the master was responsible for the battle of the material world. Under the master's immortal brilliance, more than half of it came from its light.

It's just that it didn't want to show its face, so it gave up this honor to its master.

However, although the puppet did not express its opinion, the Book of the Future ridiculed it, so Rhodes was fortunate enough to witness the spectacle of two books fighting—it was similar to a cat fighting.

Rhodes looked at it for a while, then looked away and looked at the sky of the dream.

Now, he has 5 stars that have been quantified, they are [Darkness Devourer] [Justice Execution] [Spirit Boat] [Spiritual Elegy] and [God's Sense], and they have mastered a total of 23 sources of power .

The quantified stars are connected to the sea of ​​sources, and every time you master a source, you can obtain a steady stream of energy from the sea of ​​sources.

Dreamland currently has 23 sources of energy.

There are three other stars that are on the way to be quantified, they are [Bitter Blue], [Star Shuttle] and [Wind Phantom].

When they are quantified, there will be more source energy.

The stars that have not yet been quantified are the three stars that have been obtained recently, namely [Giant Power], [Crimson Tears] and [Blank].

Rhodes kept the source material they needed in mind, and if given the chance, it would be best to obtain it.

If there is no chance, you can only wait to find new dream fragments.

According to the book of knowledge, there is a dream building where you can find source material and dream fragments.

If it can be recovered, the recovery speed of the dream will be greatly improved, and the stars will be quantified quickly.

Now, the dream is flying to the other side of the Kingdom of Light.

The Book of Knowledge intends to look for the remnants of the ancient gods there. If not, they will leave the Kingdom of Light too. The longer they stay in a region, the more unfavorable it is for the dream.

The dream is the existence of the anti-spirit world, and the hostility of the spirit world will increase on it. If something happens during the invasion, it will be bad.

Their next destination is the Chaos Sea.

What Rhodes has to do now is to wait, and occasionally control the dream void to get rid of the spirit world monsters that attacked them.

-

During this day of rest, Rhodes sorted out his thoughts, cleaned up all the messy threads, his thinking became extremely clear, and he knew exactly what he was going to do.

Sure enough, sometimes, blindly working hard will not be effective, and proper rest will make the mind clearer.

In a moment, the time has come, and the weakness of the giant god's power has completely disappeared.

All of a sudden, Rhodes felt his whole body lighten up, and his soul was no longer carrying a heavy burden. This feeling is really wonderful.

He went through everything in his mind for the last time, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with it. Dreams, stars, psionic power, divinity... were all right.

The only thing that can't be sure is the blessing of the old ghost on his body, and the mysterious ball.

The Book of Knowledge says it can sense the connection between the ball and the dream, but it doesn't know how to use it.

I don't know what effect the ghost's blessing from the past has. The only thing that is certain is that it is a blessing, not a curse, and it is harmless.

Therefore, Rhodes did not delve into it too deeply.

But when he was about to leave the dreamland, Rhode suddenly thought of one thing.

Why can the puppet use its divinity when he is trapped in the soul space?Isn't that his authority?

Rhodes immediately called the puppet, and its answer was simple.

"When the master is in crisis, the ruler of the second sequence has control."

Rhodes nodded, it turned out that Afro was the number two figure in the dream.

That's right, this is what the No. [-] character looks like.

The Book of Knowledge is really bragging.

Without thinking too much, he turned and left the dreamland.

Xinghuan Town.

In a modest room.

Rhodes jumped up, powerful spiritual energy surging in the soul, causing countless ripples in the space.

"Star City Battlefield, I'm back!"
