the last king of darkness

Chapter 501 Passing the torch long, mankind will win

【King's Soul】

【From Eternal Saint Crassusa】

【Own a strong source】

[This is a mutated deformed soul. The extremely twisted spirit groans strangely, and the chaotic soul body twists and struggles frantically. The root power from the stars has left an indelible mark on its soul, but it is like a steel rope What runs through the soul is its will]

On the soul altar, in the crystal wall.

The gray-white soul is constantly rolling, and various distorted expressions emerge on the soul, pain and despair are endless.

The puppet said softly: "His spirit has dissipated, and only painful memories are deposited in the dirty soul. This is already the soul of a monster."

The voice of the Book of Knowledge also became calm for the first time, no longer bluffing:

"His pride and faith have gone with him, and only these heavy and dark things are left. In the heaven of fire, his spirit is pure and clear."

The Book of the Future jumped down from the bookshelf, trotted over, and saluted the crystal wall in a ridiculous gesture.

"Great Crassusa, thank you for saving us, I will always remember your name."

Asa's dim soul flew out of the crystal wall, glanced at it in disgust, and said contemptuously, "A fool."

Rhodes waved his hand, white light flashed, and the spiritual energy shot out quickly, turning into a static state, and knocking his soul into the air.

He turned his head and said, "Book, can I ignite that big star now?"

The Book of Knowledge was stunned. I didn't expect the master to be so anxious. The catastrophe had just ended, the black mist demon had just left, the dream was severely damaged, and there were so many things to deal with now.

"Master, of course...[Truth] is the most suitable for your current situation, but..."

"Then let's get started."

Rhodes turned and walked towards the House of God.

"I don't want this soul to exist for a long time. It should turn into flames as soon as possible and ignite the stars."

The book of knowledge was startled, and replied: "I know."

It flapped the pages of the book, hastily preparing materials for Rhodes.

"Uh, [Truth] needs ten pieces of firewood, one king's soul, and one power source... Well, it is the one that needs the least among the big stars, but after the master ignites it, an initial battle can be formed The system, um, although crude, but at least it is a system."

While muttering, it prepared the materials for ten pieces of soul firewood and sent them to the stone platform.

With a wave of Rhode's hand, golden light shone on the obelisk, and a hundred divinity points followed.

Hammer-scissors flew out of the stone platform and began to process frantically.

After only a moment, ten pieces of soul firewood with glowing flames were produced.

Rhodes came to the obelisk and touched the surface of the obelisk with his forehead.

The world turned upside down, and he came to the Soul Wasteland again.

Under the guidance of the book of knowledge, he quickly flew to the far end of the wasteland, and landed in front of a large cloud of gray-white ashes.

Stretch out your hand and put ten pieces of soul firewood into it.

With a thought, that gray-white soul descended from the sky, carrying that powerful law of origin, and fell into the ashes.

On the ashes glowed bright yellow, like burning coals.

The gray-white soul boiled up and sank into the ashes bit by bit.

The fire gradually became fierce, and soon, the raging fire burst into the sky.

Rhodes stared at the ignited star bonfire. This time, he clearly felt the process of the star igniting, and the strong source was transformed in the ashes.

The source law that belonged to the Devouring King has been transformed into the source law of this star.

This is one of the miraculous abilities of dreams.

It is also the fundamental factor for Rhodes to ignite the stars.

The joyful voice of the Book of Knowledge came from the sky: "Master, I can already feel the heat in your soul."

In front of Rhodes' eyes, the bright yellow flame pointed straight at the sky like a sharp sword.

It was at least as high as ten stories and had a radius of over a hundred yards.

A line of pure white text emerged from the flames.

【truth】

[Status: Constant burning]

[Star Energy: Strike of God]

【Quantitative: The Gate of Truth】

【Position: Eternal Flame】

[Strength: 800000]

[Description: With the power to tear apart the black mist, I pursue your smiling face, but the only thing that awakens the light is wish]

-

[God's Strike]: A blow that reaches the realm of God, the ultimate efficiency of transforming turbulent psionic energy, infinitely close to perfection.

Before each use, a flower of humanity needs to be warmed up.

Cannot be used when overheated.

-

Just looking at the text, Rhodes can feel its sharp bursting power.

After being promoted to a high-level combatant, Rhodes learned the technique of efficient transformation, which is called "soul combat technique", which can multiply the power of physical attacks.

Rhodes' current "Soul Strike" can reach five times the power.

This is quite a remarkable achievement, because the greater the psionic energy, the more difficult it is to control, and the multiplier usually drops a lot. Only the best physical fighters can achieve a transformation efficiency of more than five times.

However, this is still far from the highest efficiency, and a lot of energy is wasted in the process of transforming psionic energy in a turbulent state.

The old sword sage Galen told him that the theoretical limit of "soul combat skills" is to achieve the highest efficiency at every minimum time interval during transformation.

One second composed of countless perfect time segments is the limit of the strongest blow.

Of course, no one can do this except gods, they can only approach the limit infinitely.

People who can surpass the twelfth level of psionic power, ten times higher, have been awarded the title of "Sword Master" by Wangcheng.

And the transformation efficiency of the [God Strike] given to him by [Truth] is infinitely close to perfection.

"Book!" Rhodes asked immediately: "What is the limit of transformation?"

The Book of Knowledge was silent for a moment, and reported a series of numbers: "27.18."

Rhodes was shocked and clenched his fists.

27 times!
I am invincible!

No wonder the Book of Knowledge says this is the most suitable star for me!

One hit is 27 times more powerful!
When I turned on [Giant Power], I was in the state of "Red God of War", and then I used "God Strike", what monster's sky cap wouldn't be overturned?
Even if the "Red God of War" is not turned on, in the normal state, I use [Tears of Blood] to increase my spiritual power, and use [Star Shuttle] to condense a star sword, and the power of the sword is also extraordinary.

The only problem is that [God Strike] needs to be warmed up before use, and the consumption of a flower of humanity is not very small.

Moreover, it cannot be used continuously. Every time it is used, the excessively strong psionic energy conversion efficiency will put the spirit in a state of "spiritual overheating", and it takes 10-18 seconds before it can be used.

The more you use it, the slower it will cool down, and eventually it will reach a "completely overheated" state, which will take a long time to cool down.

To make good use of this big star requires strong skills.

In this short period of time, around its use, the outline of a new combat method has emerged in Rhodes' mind.

But there is no time to think about it now, Rhodes thought and left the Soul Wasteland.

The moment he stepped into the dreamland again, the heat in his soul had already risen, and more powerful spiritual energy surged through his body, making his blood boil and his blood pulse.

it is good!
Rhodes clenched his fists, his heart was full of confidence again, and the fear and frustration brought by the black mist demon gradually dissipated.

One day, I will kill you too!

Turning his head to look at the obelisk, he saw another star on the face of the soul.

In a very short period of time, he ignited two stars one after another, and his strength achieved a qualitative leap.

The Book of Knowledge ecstatically said: "Master! We have passed the most dangerous difficulty! We have succeeded! We have finally ignited two big stars! We have finally reached this level! After this, your growth is limited It’s a lot less, and I’m finally in a field I’m familiar with, and I’m no longer like a mentally retarded person... Ahem, I mean I can finally play a bigger role.”

Rhodes glanced at it: "Book, I hope this is the last time you say that you have become smarter."

The Book of Knowledge snorted: "Master, you really underestimated me. It's just that I'm a little dull because I'm not familiar with your weak childhood state because of my incomplete soul."

Rhodes ignored it. He knew the book very well now. He was arrogant, pompous, and impetuous, and he didn't know how the original owner trained it.

But after getting along for so long, I also know how to deal with it. When it germinates in a solid state, just ignore it.

Rhodes turned his head to look at the top of the obelisk, and the numbers on it were refreshed again:

Soul Strength: 10782000
Soul Stars: 13
Humanity: 2261 million

Divinity: 1225
Spiritless Souls: 1 billion

Inside the stele: none
Soul Altar: 19 Extremely Great Souls
Spirituality: 31 million

Source energy: 37
Storage: 99 million pieces of soul residue, 25 flowers of humanity, 411 pieces of various soul traits, 10 pieces of nightmare materials, omitted.

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

-

-

Rhodes was overjoyed, his soul strength finally exceeded ten million.

Except for the blessing of the main star priest who increased the soul strength by 200 million (and directly helped him upgrade), the 878 million soul strength all came from the stars.

Among them, the quantified Great Star [Giant Power] provides up to 520 million soul strength.

The remaining 358 million soul strength is provided by the remaining 12 stars.

It can be seen that the strength of the big star is completely leaping.

Especially the big stars after quantification.

If he can ignite a few more big stars, Rhodes believes that his soul strength will soon be able to cross levels and reach the level of bearing the "Seat of Ashes".

This is also a characteristic unique to Rhodes.

His growth is directly reaching the essence of the soul, without any moisture, not just the spiritual energy floating on the surface.

Thinking of this, Rhodes asked: "Book, what is the next lit star?"

The book of knowledge suddenly fell silent, and it seemed much more reliable at this time, it said after pondering for a moment.

"There are three big stars to choose from."

"I think [Gluttony] is more suitable for the owner. To ignite it requires 30 soul firewood, 1 king's soul, 90 billion spiritless souls, and a strong source."

Rhodes nodded, keeping its needs in mind.

Among these needs, the most important is the king's soul.

After obtaining [Truth] and [Giant Power], he already thought that he could participate in the highest-level hunting operations in the royal city.

With his current destructive power, it is absolutely possible for [The Devourer of Darkness] to cause enough erosion and take away the soul.

As long as he can kill another king-level monster, the rest of the conditions are not a problem for him.

30 soul firewood can be directly regarded as 300 points of divinity, and there is no pressure for him now.

90 billion spiritless souls may seem like a lot, but in fact it is only a matter of time.

By sacrificing an "extremely great soul", hundreds of millions of souls can be obtained.

90 billion is just the level of dozens of monsters.

Now Rhodes basically doesn't pay attention to the fifth gear, the monsters above the fifth gear, and king-level monsters.

And the king-level monster has one of the biggest benefits, that is, it must have a "powerful source law".

Unlike powerful monsters, most monsters do not have sources, and one can only rely on luck to obtain sources.

Therefore, as long as he kills another king-level monster, he can take another step forward.

And when he has enough strength, he can search for dream fragments without restriction, and go to the ruins known as the "Dread Fort".

When the dream is restored, the real journey begins.

Rhodes is full of confidence.

However, although he firmly believes that the future must be bright, there will always be some twists and turns in the process.

Just like now, their situation is very miserable.

The dream was severely damaged, a big hole was broken in the sky, the outer protection was completely blown up, and the spirit world matter in the chaotic sea was directly exposed to the eyes. It has erosion and assimilation effects, and requires special protection and isolation.

And after the spiritual world is also corroded, the matter of the spiritual world will also corrupt all spiritual beings at the same time.

Therefore, in the current spirit world, there are no living spirit world creatures anymore.

Rhodes checked the dream for a while, closed his eyes and sensed for a while, and realized that the damage to the dream was more serious than expected.

Although the core obelisk has not been damaged, the outer bubble has burst, and the dream has lost its power, almost drifting in the sea of ​​chaos.

"Book," Rhodes asked, "Can dreams be restored?"

I also read the book of knowledge, looking worried.

"It can be repaired, but I need about 100 billion spiritless souls, millions of spirits, and more than a million soul residues. The mirror of the gods has also been impacted, and there has been material damage. Repairing it requires a lot of material resources. Mainly It's the sunstone, the moonstone, the star marrow."

Rhodes smiled: "Don't worry, leave these to me, and I will handle them."

The Book of Knowledge suddenly jumped three feet high, but Rhode silenced it with a finger to make it boil.

"Book, you can be quieter in the future. For example, if you are happy now, you can express it with an expression."

Rhode briefly talked about the usage of emoji.

The book of knowledge was learned at once, and a smile spelled out of characters immediately appeared on its cover page.

"(∩_∩)"

Rhodes smiled and praised: "Yes, that's it, you are much cuter."

"Hahaha, I just said..."

Rhodes raised his middle finger, and the Book of Knowledge suddenly stopped.

"Uh, uh, it's (^^)!"

"Yes."

Rhode nodded:
"You have to get used to expressing your emotions in this way, it is very elegant and intuitive, and it can greatly improve your charm."

Hearing the master's praise, every page of the book of knowledge trembled. At this moment, it seemed to open the door to a new world.

"I know, I...o(^▽^)o!"

It kept changing various expressions and ran wildly on the ground.

The Book of the Future on the side is peeping from the door, with an envious expression on its face - it can't use words.

The puppet glanced at the book of knowledge with a complicated expression, and walked up lightly.

"Master, that's not the only thing that the black mist demon can do to the dream, you see."

It pointed to the edge of the dream, and in the tumbling mist, a few wisps of black seeped in and gradually spread, like a few drops of ink dripping into clear water.

Rhode's heart suddenly sank: "The dream, is it polluted?"

The puppet said in a deep voice: "Yes, master, the big demon is the original body of the black mist, the most powerful pure black mist symbiosis, the terrifying end of all living beings, its ability to corrupt and erode is very powerful, there is even a saying that , Black Mist was born on the Black Mist Primitive, as long as we kill all thirteen Black Mist Demons, we can completely clear the Black Mist and bring the world back to light."

Rhodes frowned: "Afro, is this statement reliable?"

The puppet shook its head slightly: "At present, it is just a hypothesis, and there is no evidence to prove it."

The Book of Knowledge jumped up and jumped into Rhode's arms.

"It is such a master. The biggest doubt about this statement is that it is not a taboo and can communicate freely."

"Obviously, if the Black Mist was really born on the Black Mist Primogen, then it is absolutely impossible for this taboo to be expressed in any form, and this theory will gradually be lost in the long history."

"Even if it is accidentally thought of by someone, as long as this taboo leaves his soul, it will trigger a super-powerful source feedback, and be destroyed by the subsequent black mist symbiosis. In the end, no one will know."

Rhodes said disappointedly: "Is that still fake?"

The Book of Knowledge corrected his statement: "At least it is inaccurate, such as what conditions we do not know."

Rhodes pondered for a moment.

"That's not right. If the Black Mist Demon is so strong, why was it alarmed? The monster that invaded last time was still the Dark Star."

Although the dark stars are also very powerful, but Rhodes goes all out, uses all means, and can kill outside the dream world, and is not an existence of the same order of magnitude as the Black Mist Demon.

The Book of Knowledge flipped the pages: "Yes, the Black Mist Demon is far from being something we can fight against now. At least we have to wait until the dream is complete and the two spirits and three towers are present before we can try to fight."

Rhodes continued: "Moreover, the Black Mist Demon doesn't seem to be invading from a higher level, it is attacking us directly."

Both the Book of Knowledge and the puppet fell silent.

They also thought about this question, but they couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

At this time, the book of the future huddled in the corner asked cautiously: "Master, can I speak?"

Rhodes jaw.

"Well, everyone, from the perspective of prophecy, the biggest problem is that it has signs."

"The master's intuition sensed the danger, and the spirit of the ancient god reborn with flesh and blood also sensed the danger before it dissipated. Uh, as you know, the sense of the spirit is the most sensitive when it dissipates."

The Book of the Future seems a little socially fearful, and it's a little timid to speak.

"As for the Ancient God of Destiny, I don't know what He predicted, whether the arrival of the Black Mist Demon is related to the Spirit Devourer King, but at least one thing can be confirmed, the Great Demon did not come suddenly, this is a pre-planned attack. "

"Something is targeting us."

Suddenly, Rhodes remembered something.

Back then, on the way to the Ghost King's Castle, the Book of Knowledge told him that the greatest danger was "51", but afterwards, the Book of Knowledge denied it, claiming that it never said this sentence.

Afterwards, Rhodes discovered that this 51 was exactly the same as the number of days of the Soul Eater King's invasion.

At the time, he thought it meant that after 51 days, the Soul Eater would invade the Dreamland.

But now it seems that the Devouring King is here to help it.

The real crisis is the Black Mist Demon.

Rhodes felt that this matter was very unusual, and he told the book of the future in detail what happened.

After listening to the book of the future, he said immediately: "Yes, all prophecies inspired by the source of inspiration will be removed from memory. This is to protect the soul from powerful backlash. This is the most dreamed state of prophecy for countless prophets, but it Like a fleeting shadow, it cannot be obtained.”

The puppet's voice became unusually solemn: "From this point of view, the attack of the Black Mist Demon was decided long before the source feedback triggered the invasion of the Soul Devourer King."

The Book of Knowledge flapped its pages, but the heavy atmosphere made it unable to utter a single word.

At this moment, Rhodes only had one question in his mind.

"Why? How did we induce the Black Mist Demon?"

After a long silence, the Book of Knowledge raised a conjecture.

"Maybe, it has something to do with that ancient evil idea called Amon. Although I don't know how he can induce the great demon who is silent in the depths of the black mist, he is the most suspicious person in this matter."

Rhodes nodded, determined to find his clues as soon as possible.

If it is him, then we must figure out how he induced the Black Mist Demon.

If it wasn't for him, then it would be necessary to find the reason for the Black Mist Demon's attack again.

Once again, no one is sure whether the dream can survive.

What's even more frightening is that if the Black Mist Demon crosses the spirit world and attacks Trorian King City, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Rhodes sorted out his thoughts and let out a long breath.

This time the invasion was finally over, and the many means and items prepared earlier were useless.

But except for making soul firewood, divinity only used up 120 points.

Until this time, Rhodes clearly realized that he now has 1225 points of divinity at his disposal!
Ecstasy swelled in his chest like a balloon.

Suddenly, Rhodes understood that until the next time the stars shine, nothing can stop him.

The invasion just ended, the source feedback was not that fast, it was a long process.

Although the end is bound to come, Rhodes has no fear.

It seems that a new journey is about to start.

Rhodes smiled.

Of course, before that, Starry Sky City should be completely cleaned up, and as much divinity as possible should be built up at the moment when the stars are shining.

The current divinity can be obtained instantly.

And dreams also require more soul sacrifices.

——Repairing dreams, the main materials consumed, soulless soul, spirituality, and soul residues are all decomposed from the soul.

It is a longer and longer-lasting project to remove the pollution.

But no matter what, Rhodes always believes that the road is tortuous and the future is bright.

Even though he had just witnessed the end of the black mist, his confidence did not waver in the slightest.

Anyway, sadness, despair, and pain can't increase my strength. Blackening is equal to madness. Why don't I become optimistic?
Rhodes thought.

Humph.

I will definitely defeat all these inhuman existences, and deeply appreciate the deep sadness of this inhuman world.

And use my greatest strength to kill all harmful insects and dedicate them to the souls of the dead.

The torch is passed on, and mankind will win!
