the last king of darkness

Chapter 496 The Stars Shine
On this day, Rhodes had been waiting in the dream for a long time.

On the Star Square, the trajectories of the stars began to shine, the dim star map emerged from the thick fog, the starlight diffused in the dreamland, and the obelisk was shrouded in pieces of nebula.

At the moment when the hands on the pocket watch finish the last frame and the hour hand points to "morning hour", a new day arrives.

This is the 1326th day of 19 in the Teslivian Gregorian calendar, just 12 days before the end of Hanukkah and 11 days before the "raising" of the sacred flame of the Trorian king city.

And there is only one day left before the time for the Soul Devourer King to invade the dreamland.

The stars move from their original position, once again forming a specific picture.

Thousands of starlights shone from the extremely high-level spiritual world, and the deep chaotic sea seemed to be purified, submerged under the crystal-like light blue beam.

At this moment, the entire spiritual world is illuminated by stars, and the dream seems to be floating in a crystal clear dream world.

The clear blue light penetrated the edge of the dream and shone into Rhode's eyes. At this moment, he once again felt the familiar throbbing. In the infinitely high void, an ancient door that had been sealed for a long time was opened. The hazy haze was cleared away, and a wider world unfolded in front of him.

Rhodes seemed to be looking at the infinite and far-reaching starry sky, and in that emptiness, it seemed that something was calling him.

Golden light spots emerged from the depths of the gray fog, crossed the distant time and space, fell into the dreamland, fell like raindrops, and flew together into the obelisk.

Rhodes raised his hands high, bathed in this golden rainstorm, and the golden light passed through his body, like condensed hope.

The Book of Knowledge ran wildly beside him, laughing wildly: "A lot! A lot! A lot! Hahaha, hahahaha!"

The puppet stood quietly behind it, staring at the dazzling gold with rusty eyeballs.

Future Book was stunned by this magnificent sight, and murmured: "My God, I have never seen such a magnificent sight, before... I remember it very often, but not on such a large scale..."

Even Asa let go of his arrogance, and looked at this miraculous scene in shock: "This, is this divinity? How is it possible... This is the authority of the true god. What kind of existence is this dream? "

The golden rainstorm became bigger and bigger, and countless golden lights fell from the sky, almost drowning the dreamland.

The divine surface of the obelisk is shining with golden light, and the scale representing divinity rises rapidly.

At this moment, all the pain, confusion, and burnout in Rhodes' heart disappeared, and his heart suddenly became so calm, leaving only a touch of joy.

The golden rainstorm lasted for a long time, longer than ever before, and it didn't stop until the hour hand pointed to the next mark.

Rows of golden text emerged from above the obelisk.

Seal monsters, divinity +5
Clear human decay, divinity +25
Imprison ancient immortal evil thoughts, divinity +30
Rescue the Windy City, divinity +1
Clear the darkness, eliminate monsters, assist humans to seize the seeds of the holy fire, and relieve the bad luck of destruction, divinity +1180
Clean up Star City, find ancient ruins, seek truth and truth, divinity +80
Eliminate disasters, save mankind in desperate situations, divinity +50
Kill the dark stars, divinity +10
Get phlogiston, get firewood, increase the strength of the holy fire, divinity +50
Improve the overall strength of the orderly, bring hope, divinity +70
Total, Divinity +1501
Because of your efforts, the possibility of civilization inheritance has been greatly improved, and the speed of mankind's slide into the abyss of absolute darkness has been greatly slowed down, and it is one step further away from the irreversible fate.

-

The golden light was exhausted, and the text turned red.

——The source feedback of violently stirring the black mist, disturbing the silent dark power, divinity -55
——damage the Chosen of Fire, reduce the power of fire, divinity -5
Total, Divinity -60
Due to your mistakes, the possibility of civilization inheritance has decreased, and mankind has slipped one step further into the abyss of absolute darkness.

-

Rhodes was stunned for a quarter of an hour in front of the obelisk before realizing that his heart was beating and his blood was rushing.

An inexplicable emotion rose in my heart.

The Divinity of 1501.

This is the result of countless times he has fought, struggled in desperation, and saved himself from danger for so long.

1501, this is an unprecedented number. The meaning it represents is far beyond what those few characters can express. It is the blood and tears of countless people and the hope of countless people.

Rhodes' contribution to Trorian surpassed everything he had done in the past. He actually affected the course of history and changed the fate of countless people.

The deduction of divinity is only 60 points, which shows that his positive effect on human beings far exceeds the negative effect.

Compared with the last time, there are fewer deduction items such as maliciously disturbing the spirit world and destroying the energy balance of the Sea of ​​Origin.

This is because he got rid of the "Void Rage" move, which has great side effects.

Although the effect of "Spiritual Tide" is not that strong, and it still consumes divinity, it will not intensify the erosion of the world, and it is far more than the original "Awakening".

And "source feedback" is something that can't be helped. If Rhodes wants to become stronger, it is impossible not to disturb the black mist.

There was only one way he could go.

However, Rhodes couldn't figure out the item "harming the chosen ones of fire".

The "chosen people of fire" are those who possess the characteristic of "eternal burning fire". Besides the king, there are only three people, Qingyu, Jon, and Xingge.

No matter what Rhodes thought, he didn't think of hurting them. I don't know how the 5 points of divinity were deducted.

But 5 points of divinity is not particularly unacceptable to the current Rhodes. He can get 7 points of fixed divinity every week, and the divinity gained in this round even broke four digits.

Just buckle it up.

Before Rhodes came to the divine side of the obelisk, he looked up at the shining golden divine side. The whole surface of the stele was rippling with golden light, making all the insecurity in his heart disappear, as if all difficulties in the future would be solved. With this golden light, it was easily solved.

Rhode looked up at the golden text carefully.

What gave him the most divinity is undoubtedly a series of events related to the attack on Starry Sky City and the seizure of the Holy Fire Seed.

From the moment he attacked Storm Pass, until he entered Xinghuan Town, cleared the battlefield outside Star City, awakened the combat power of the older generation with the tears of the goddess, and then officially entered Star City, he went through all kinds of hardships and went all the way to the holy fire sacrificial field. In the end, he defeated the Starry Queen and the Strange Shadow, and seized the Seed of the Holy Fire. All of this totaled 1180 points of divinity, accounting for 80.00% of his total divinity.

When he saw this number, Rhodes just lamented that it was not in vain for him to spend so much effort, and it was not in vain for the king to devote decades of deliberation to formulate and promote the torch plan.

1180 divinity points, more than ten times higher than the most divinity Rhodes had obtained before.

He was very satisfied with the result.

Looking further up, the "sealed monster" item only has 5 divinity points.

This should be the action of sealing the Devouring King. It is obviously an important action, but I don't know why there is so little divinity, but fortunately, Rhodes also obtained a piece of source material, which is not too bad.

"Eliminate human corruption" refers to Rhodes' return to the royal city to clean up the polluter sect and arrest Asa.

After the battle that went deep into the sewers, Rhodes successfully delisted the Polluter Sect, and the largest of the Doomsday Sect disappeared.

This item has gained 25 points of divinity, which is not bad.

"Prisoning ancient immortal evil thoughts" naturally refers to Asa, this guy can't be killed, even if he is smashed to pieces, he will gather in the spirit world and be resurrected in a human soul.

Imprisoning him in a dream is the best way, and even sometimes, it can be used by Rhodes.

But what I didn't expect was that this item actually had 30 points.

Isn't Asa that stupid?
He still has some real strength?
Rhodes didn't think about it carefully, if imprisoning Asa can gain divinity, then it will be locked forever.

Looking further down, I came to the least item in this line.

"Rescue the Windy City", only a pitiful 1 point of divinity.

Rhodes was very dissatisfied with this. It was obvious that he and Alan fought together in the sunken ancient palace, defeated the ancient heroic spirits and visions, and jointly saved the Windy City.

Although he knew that there was no divinity before he set off, it was too outrageous to only give 1 point.

Give at least 20 or 30 points, right?

Is my achievement just wiped out like this?

so annoying.

Rhodes took the initiative to ignore this item, and then looked down.

"Cleaning up the starry sky city" is the divinity gained in the starry sky city during this period.

80 points, not too bad.

Next item.

"Eliminating disasters and saving mankind in desperate situations" is a comprehensive item, which should refer to his deeds of turning the tables in crises several times, saving his teammates, and winning a big victory. These deeds may have already been recorded in other projects Part of it was settled, but the rest of the "salvation" part was settled in this project.

50 points, not too little.

"Obtaining firewood" is a bit of a pity. If he is the one who finds the hidden warehouse, there will be more divinity.

"Improve the overall strength of the orderly" is a general item, including the help and improvement of other people, the construction of city defense, etc., all kinds of trivial things will be included in it.

Since Rhodes didn't focus on cultivating and improving his comrades during this period, nor did he build city defenses and other affairs, so it gained less divinity than last time, which is expected.

But it doesn't affect the overall situation. Generally speaking, this time is a super bumper harvest.

1501 points of divinity, plus the 20 points of divinity that he had saved before, and the fixed 14 points of divinity, he gained a total of 1535 points of divinity!
After subtracting 60 points, there are still 1475 points.

Rhodes laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and the Book of Knowledge was even more ecstatic: "Master! We are finally on the fast track to move forward! Your strength will usher in a round of skyrocketing, and the real dream master will be here soon!" I'm coming back! The old you was as weak as a chicken, cluck... I mean, I'm as weak as a chicken, and I'm protected by your strength."

Rhodes snorted coldly, and put down his raised middle finger.

The Book of Knowledge turned the page, coughed and said, "Your strength has skyrocketed, coupled with the guidance of the Bell of the Celestial Earth, the dreams can be restored quickly, and our memories can be retrieved faster, until we return to the heyday At that time, everything will return, and we can once again challenge the horror of despair and face the real darkness.”

There is confidence in its voice.

"This time, we will never fail."

The puppet said softly: "But the premise of all this is to defeat the Soul Devourer."

The Book of Knowledge said confidently: "There is absolutely no problem, 1475 divinity points are definitely enough to defeat it."

Rhode looked up at the shining golden number and asked, "Book, how should we use divinity now?"

The Book of Knowledge flipped the page, thought for a moment, and replied: "The limit for strengthening a dream with divinity is 120 points, the blade of divinity needs 30 points, the strongest blade of divinity is 90 points, and Aphrodite's strengthening It needs 10 points, spiritual strike needs 10 points, spiritual wave needs 10 points, multiple spiritual waves can be superimposed, but the efficiency will decrease after more than 3 times, in addition, a strong soul ashes needs 10 points, preparatory can make 10 to 20 .”

"Beyond this, we can use all the divinity to ignite the stars. I estimate that we can use 700 points."

"But we don't have that many sources." Rhode reminded, except for the 10 sources just taken from Dark Star, there is nothing else.

The black mist symbiosis in Starry Sky City doesn't have a source, and the other monsters don't have a source either.

But the Queen of Stars, who possessed the source, dissipated on her own. The special situation she maintained with the source of stars made her soul doomed to annihilation.

In this case, Rhodes couldn't plunder her soul, and neither could the main star priest.

After the death of the Queen of Stars, most of the monsters in Starry Sky City had dissipated, and it was even more difficult for Rhodes to encounter monsters with sources.

Now there is only one day left before the invasion, and it is too late to find the monster with the source.

The Book of Knowledge murmured: "Master, we can still ignite a star, and use all the remaining divinity to deal with the invasion. Just in case, as you know, the blade of divinity can be used without restriction. , even if the Spirit Devouring King is extremely powerful, he still cannot withstand the piercing of so many divine blades."

Although the words of the Book of Knowledge are correct, for some reason, Rhodes always feels uneasy, as if something important has been missed.

After thinking for a long time, but couldn't find a clue, Rhodes raised his head and looked at the top of the obelisk, where the numbers had become:

Soul Strength: 9682000
Soul Stars: 11
Humanity: 2231 million

Divinity: 1475
Spiritless Souls: 57 billion

Inside the stele: 10 sources
Soul Altar: 21 Extremely Great Souls
Spirituality: 39 million

Source energy: 37
Storage: 85 soul residues, 25 flowers of humanity, 7 soul firewood, 381 various soul trait blocks, 310 nightmare materials, omitted.

Special Items: 7 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Twisted Scales, 1 Chaos Stone, 1 Flesh Reborn

-

With so much divinity, so many resources, and such powerful items, what am I still worried about?

"it is good!"

Rhodes clenched his fists.

"Just do it."
