the last king of darkness

Chapter 451 Tower of the Sun
[Blank]'s ability is to fix the soul in the current state at the moment it is activated, and maintain it for a quarter of an hour.

Rhodes originally thought that its greatest usefulness was not to lose combat power immediately after using [Giant Power], or to swim in some super polluted environments.

But just now, Rhode suddenly realized that if the side effects of [Giant Power] were delayed for a quarter of an hour, wouldn't he be able to use [Giant Power] all the time within this quarter of an hour?

Rhodes has a deep understanding of the power of [Giant Power], it is Rhodes' most powerful means of instant explosive power so far.

Although there is no specific value, Rhodes feels that it increases the strength of spiritual energy by at least ten times.

That is to say, in the giant god state, his psychic strength changed from more than 6000 to more than 6 all of a sudden. In addition to the soul burning of [Crimson Tears], it is likely to have exceeded [-], approaching [-] up.

In this state, the strength of the soul blow he hit with all his strength can be imagined.

Back then in the Death Scar Canyon, the extremely tough Soul Eater was split from head to toe with a single sword.

This super powerful blow was originally Rhodes' last resort.

Once used, it means that he cannot fight again for at least one day.

Rhodes wouldn't use it if it wasn't at the most critical moment, or at the end of the mountain.

This also means that Rhodes' combat upper limit is here.

Once the final blow cannot kill the enemy, then he can only wait to die.

The Great Star Priest is such an enemy. Rhodes' full blow can cut Soul Eater like tofu, but it only splashed a circle of ripples on his spiritual defense.

If Rhodes hadn't ignited No. 11 stars, the moment the sword broke, the battle would have ended.

But with 【Blank】, the situation is completely different.

He is no longer a one-hit superman, a second-level powerhouse, but a strong king who is extremely durable and in a fighting state for a quarter of an hour.

Hahaha!
Rhodes smiled happily.

There is no doubt that Daxing Priest is very, very strong. If he is not in a strange state, in the gap between life and death, in the overlapping state of chaos and sobriety, everyone will die, and no one here is his opponent.

But even if he was in a daze, his instinctive psychic defense was too strong to comprehend.

This is not their class of people.

Originally, they had no hope. For a person who could summon meteorites and lift the earth, their power was nothing to mention.

But [Blank] left Rhodes with the only room for victory.

For the first time, Rhodes used the [Giant God Power] to the end, and it only took 200 seconds to break through the defense of the big star priest, successfully killed the strong man from a thousand years ago, and resolved the crisis.

This is definitely a super leapfrog kill.

He has just left the category of mortals and stepped into the ranks of extraordinary people, becoming the guardian of Trorian, and the great star priest was also the top human being in the era of fire and prosperity thousands of years ago.

After Rhodes killed him, he still had some strength left.

[Blank] It can be delayed for a quarter of an hour, which is 900 seconds.

And he only used 200 seconds, and there are 700 seconds left.

In other words, he can still fight three and a half big star priests!
Isn't this invincible?
He has just stepped into the extraordinary realm, and he has such power. When he grows stronger again, what else can stop him?

Lift up the human beings who are sliding into the abyss, revive the declining civilization, and make the fire stronger again, is that still a dream?

The more Rhodes thought about it, the more excited he became, feeling that he would soon be invincible in the world.

As long as the battle of Starry Sky City goes well this time and another big star is ignited, nothing can stop his rise.

Perhaps, the real king who can save mankind from the darkness that First Elder Amondo said is me!
Hahaha.

Rhodes suppressed the ecstasy, put the staff and robe into the dreamland, and galloped on the broken earth.

At this moment, the entire Ridge of Death has cracked, countless mountains have collapsed, and cracks are scattered all over the ground.

Fortunately, neither Night Breeze nor Rigel was seriously injured. Night Breeze just ran out of psionic energy, and Rigel has an immortal body, and the speed of self-healing is unimaginable.

Rigel was just shocked that Rhodes' fists were so strong, and he intended to learn from him.

Night Breeze saw something deeper, and he asked, "Brother Rhodes, can your explosive state last forever?"

Rhodes said modestly: "No, it only lasts for 900 seconds."

Rigel's eyeballs almost popped out: "900 seconds? Can your explosive state last for a quarter of an hour? Is that called an explosion? I feel that your psionic energy is about to explode at that time. I have never seen such a powerful fire. , Is that kindling? That is simply the source of the soul!"

Night Breeze asked, "Is there a price?"

"Yes, it will be weak for a while."

Night Breeze breathed a sigh of relief: "It's normal to have a price. Power without a price usually has a price marked in secret, and you will pay more for it, even your soul."

Rigel smiled and said: "Brother is right, the first principle of controlling psionic power is equivalence. There is no unreasonable psionic power, just like there is no unreasonable love. The power we have is all given by us. Hard training, expensive potions, battles on the verge of life and death, bursts of will, accumulated over the years, is what makes it so powerful."

Night Breeze added: "This is a unique risk for fighters of the Starfire sequence. Sometimes we will awaken uncontrollable fire seeds, which will bring us a huge burden, and even perish. The stronger the Starfire, the easier it is to appear. You must careful."

Rhodes smiled slightly and nodded, but he didn't care. He is not a Spark Sequence in essence. With the Book of Knowledge, this situation cannot happen in the stars.

In the distance, as the undead banshee dissipated, Jessica also released her awakened state and returned to her human form.

In this battle, if Rhodes was the first player, then she must be the second player.

If Jessica hadn't resisted so many undead banshees, it would be impossible for them to see the face of the big star priest.

But when Jessica arrived, Rhodes was surprised to find that she didn't even have any scars on her body, her soul was still bright and healthy, and she didn't seem to be exhausted.

"Aren't you injured? So many undead banshees..."

Jessica smiled and said: "When I liberate the magic power of my soul and become a lizard, my psionic energy will become very, very thick. If I can't break through the limit of my defense, I will never be injured. No exhaustion, no spiritual exhaustion, of course..."

Her slender and beautiful eyes looked at Rhodes, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Aren't you the most amazing one? Little Rhodes."

Night Breeze coughed: "Let's report the situation to the Archbishop as soon as possible. The situation in the Ridge of Death is very strange. Maybe we can dig out a lot of secrets from it."

Rhodes nodded. Although the Great Star Priest was eliminated and the source of the threat of Death Ridge was resolved, the matter was not over.

From the words of Priest Daxing, it can be deduced that this should be the place where the last fleeing team of the Starry Kingdom died. Millions of people died here, and the last living force of the Starry Kingdom was wiped out.

This is also the reason why the breath of death is so strong here. Too much death has changed the law of origin in this area, making the law of death dominate here, which is why the star priest who is in charge of the stars can summon powerful undead Banshee.

So, what happened here thousands of years ago?
Did the other nine priests mentioned by Daxing Priest also die here?

What remains of Starry Kingdom?
This is what they are eager to know, and it would be even better if they could figure out the reason for the collapse of the Starry Kingdom.

And Rhodes had more questions. When he came across the dream fragment, Priest Daxing said a word to him, the voice was very soft, only he heard it.

In that sentence, he seemed to recognize him as a certain prince, saying that the queen was waiting for him for a long time, and asked him if the starry flame could be rekindled?
It was clear that he had some kind of connection with the dream world.

The prince in his mouth reminded Rhodes of the black shadow he first met, the previous master of the dream.

【Flowers on the shore, Hegeol, Prince of the North】

If it's really him, doesn't that mean that he knew the previous dream master?
Not only he knew it, but also the Starry Queen.

Did he inadvertently plunder this dream fragment after he turned into a monster, or had he kept it with him all this time?
If it was really the previous owner of the dream, he said "the prince is back?" Does that mean that the prince of the north has been away for a long time?They all look forward to the return of the prince?

But why didn't all of this leave a trace in the memory of the Book of Knowledge and the puppet?
Countless inferences echoed in his mind, and Rhodes had countless possibilities in his mind. He was eager to find more evidence to determine which possibility was correct.

So, while sending information to Xinghuan Town, they began to dig the Ridge of Death.

Sure enough, they quickly found large pieces of corpses, they were so rotten that only bones remained, and most of them were crowded together, as if they were pressed together by some strange force.

Jessica said in a deep voice: "It's really strange here, these ordinary people can actually preserve the corpse."

"Yes, the same is true for the big star priest. His state is very strange. This is the first time I have seen this kind of fallen person."

"It's as if he still has a sliver of sanity left."

Rhodes nodded slightly. Not only was he seeing such a strange fallen person for the first time, but everyone here was seeing it for the first time.

"Maybe," Rhodes mused, "The Kingdom of Stars has some kind of mysterious power that can fight against the black mist."

Night Breeze felt that his thoughts were suddenly opened, and he was both surprised and happy: "It seems to be really possible."

Jessica smiled and said, "Brother Rhodes, I find that your mind is really easy to use sometimes."

Rhodes was about to answer, when suddenly, his body went limp, he couldn't stand upright, and fell to the ground.

[Blank] It's over.

The delayed state came back tens of thousands of times, and in just a moment, Rhode's eyes darkened and he fell unconscious.

From the perspective of everyone, Rhodes suddenly fell down like a puppet with a broken thread.

"Rod!"

The three exclaimed in unison and rushed forward to hug him.

A strong sense of confusion and fragmentation rushed over, and the three were shocked to find that Rhodes' soul was riddled with holes, like a mass of mud, his vitality was rapidly depleting, and his spiritual energy was draining from his soul. Like a deflated balloon.

"not good!"

Night Breeze's expression changed.

"His life is in danger, and his price is too great!"

"Quickly, notify the archbishop!"

The three of them ignored digging and searching, picked up Rhodes and ran towards Xinghuan Town, pouring various recovery potions into his mouth.

What shocked them was that the Archbishop, who never left Xinghuan Town, stopped them on the way.

Before Horus could even ask a question, he took Rhodes, and white light instantly enveloped him.

The bright light characteristic was brought into full play, protecting his soul with all his strength.

The four of them rushed back to Xinghuan Town as quickly as possible, and Horus immediately sank him into the spirit crystal coffin filled with the water of life, and the bright light characteristic was fully activated.

The healing white light condensed on Rhodes' body, reflecting uneasy brilliance with the shaking of the water of life.

There was no sound in the hall, no one made a sound, only the spirit crow messengers that kept flying hit Horus.

After about a quarter of an hour, the light finally stabilized, and Horus breathed a sigh of relief, and with a wave of his hand, he took the spirit crow messenger into his arms.

"Okay... life should be fine for the time being, but..."

Night Breeze asked anxiously, "But what? He won't have any sequelae, right?"

Horus said in a deep voice: "I'm not sure, his condition is very strange, I have only seen it once in so many years, the inner strings in the core of his soul are completely broken, and the soul itself is like a residue that has been squeezed a thousand times Similarly, he couldn't even see a trace of psionic energy, and the soul body itself was severely injured, I used the needle of spiritual power to prop up his soul, and used the water of life and high-energy recovery liquid to replenish the soul body that had dried up to the limit."

"But whether his soul can be recovered, I'm not sure."

Horus looked at them darkly.

"What the hell happened? He's going to become like this."

Night Breeze felt extremely heartbroken and anxious, but he also knew that he could only wait at this time, so he told Horus exactly what happened.

Horus was silent for a long time after listening, and then heaved a long sigh.

"The power of the Great Star Priest is really unimaginable. The strength of the Starry Kingdom may be stronger than what we know... His state is likely to be related to the Starry Queen. If we can dig out useful information from Death Ridge, Maybe it will help us understand the power of the Star Queen and prepare us for our final battle."

He sighed again.

"But the Great Star Priest is obviously not in a fighting state. This is due to our lack of strength. If we have more first-level combat power, this situation will not happen."

"If Lord Rovia were here, this situation would not have happened."

"If the Sith Brain... well, too many ifs."

Night Breeze asked, "Has the Sith Brain not been killed yet?"

Horus shook his head with a gloomy face. The real source of all these disasters is undoubtedly the giant brain of Sith, which makes the already chaotic spiritual world even more violent. The threat increased sharply, awakening many originally silent monsters, and also triggered the black mist deposition effect, which raised the concentration of the black mist to a higher level, the power of darkness became stronger, and the power of fire was extremely suppressed.

As a result, the battlefield outside the starry sky city became unbalanced, and the combat power of human beings was completely out of proportion to the sharply increased threat.

Horus was extremely anxious, and the tactical arrangement that became eager for quick success also caused a sharp increase in casualties, but slowed down even more.

Right now, there's little chance they'll be able to clean up all the threats on Return of the Stars.

The only hope is that Rovia, the son of fire, can kill the Sith brain as soon as possible and return to the battlefield, so there may be a glimmer of life.

Horus put away his thoughts, all he had to do now was to go on step by step, patiently waiting for the return of Rovia, the son of fire, without thinking about anything else.

"I see, Jessica, you and Night Breeze took the three shadow warriors to dig into the Ridge of Death to find the secrets of the past."

"Rigel, your spiritual energy is exhausted, so stay here to recover, and replace Rhodes' water of life and high-energy solution regularly. If there is any change, report to me immediately."

After speaking, Horus left the medical room.

The four also set off with heavy hearts.

Trorian's future fate seemed to be cloudy and bleak just like the thickening black fog outside.

-

-

After an unknown amount of time, Rhodes finally woke up.

A powerful sense of emptiness came from the depths of the soul, like a bottomless void, desperately absorbing the power of the soul.

"This... Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu."

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, water rushed into his mouth. Rhode choked a few times before realizing that he could actually breathe in water.

He looked down, only to find that he was soaking in this solution, only a pair of shorts remained on his whole body, revealing his strong muscles and exquisite lines.

"How is this going?"

he asked in his head.

The Book of Knowledge replied ecstatically: "Master, are you awake? You have been in a coma for several days. Fortunately, humans in Trorian have strong medical abilities. Help you support your soul, otherwise this resurrection stone may have to be used up."

Rhodes frowned: "You mean, I almost died?"

The Book of Knowledge replied: "Of course! [Giant Power] is not something you can support with your current psychic power. You have used it for so long. When [Blank] is over, the negative feedback almost squeezed your soul into dross." .”

The puppet said calmly: "Master, the weak state of [Giant Power] is not a punishment, but a kind of protection to protect you from excessive use of unbearable power. When your soul is strong enough, the weak state will gradually decrease .”

Rhodes keenly noticed that the wording of the puppet was soul, not psionic power.

"Soul strength refers to..."

The puppet replied: "The strength of the soul body, your soul body is very strong, but the strength of the spirit is not high."

Rhodes frowned and said, "How to increase the strength of the spirit?"

"For you, only certain stars need to be ignited."

"Oh, so that's the case." Rhode exhaled. It seems that my road to invincibility still has a long way to go.

Excessive use of [Giant Power] can be fatal. I originally thought it was a few more days of sleep.

In this case, the price becomes high.

[Blank] also has certain restrictions, and it must consume 10 points of divinity to use it without restriction.

There is not much divinity now, but this resurrection stone must be kept at a critical moment.

This is where his confidence lies.

Rhodes settled down, and with a thought, he came to the dream.

"Book, Aphrodite."

He told in detail what happened before.

"Do you really have no impression of the Kingdom of Stars?"

The Book of Knowledge and the puppet shook their heads at the same time.

"Master, I really don't have any impression of Starry Kingdom in my memory."

The Book of Knowledge answered.

"Although my soul is not strong enough to carry so many memories, and many memories have been deleted, if the Kingdom of Stars really exists, there will be some traces of it in my memory."

Rhodes asked in a deep voice: "Can you explain what the big star priest said?"

The Book of Knowledge murmured: "Many people did call the former owner a prince, but that doesn't mean anything. The big star priest has already lost his consciousness, and he probably doesn't know what he's talking about."

"Do you know why he became like that?"

The Book of Knowledge replied: "I don't know why, but there must be some kind of power protecting him, otherwise he would have fallen into darkness."

Rhodes asked again: "Also, why is there only one dusty soul when you kill him?"

"I have a guess that he may have been overdrawing his soul, so the soul we got is so weak."

The Book of Knowledge says.

"However, this soul is also valuable. The trace left in the soul of the Great Star Priest has not dissipated. It can just be thrown to the evil spirit. When it recovers, it will have stronger power and higher wisdom."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Didn't I give a strong soul for him to eat? Can he eat two servings?"

The book of knowledge turned the page: "Of course, the more souls you have, the faster you can recover. The king of evil spirits is a rare human shield and thug. We must recover it as soon as possible. The spirit world is very unsafe at present."

Rhodes nodded and raised his right hand.

"Do you know where this dream fragment is?"

The Book of Knowledge said ecstatically: "Of course I know, this is the core building of the dream, you finally found it, come with me!"

It trotted all the way and brought Rhodes to an open space far behind the House of God.

"right here!"

The back of Rhode's hand was hot, and an unprecedented mass of white air flew out from the back of his hand and landed directly in front of him.

There was an earthquake in the dream, the white air dispersed, and a magnificent tower appeared in front of me.

There was a line of information in my mind, it was four words.

Tower of the Sun.
