the last king of darkness

Chapter 504 The Devil's Lair (Part [-])
Soon, Rhodes found a large number of battle traces.

It looks like Churchill and his squad have fought hard here, and the monsters are still blasphemous fighters.

Annabelle muttered, "Why are there such monsters here?"

"This is the commercial area of ​​Star City."

Memphis said softly.

"Profane warriors are the product of greed, and no matter in that era, businessmen are the most greedy. As long as there are enough benefits, the desire for profit will swallow their conscience."

"...making deals with Doomsday Cultists, selling human flesh and souls, and some people even use the black mist to do business with monsters."

Annabelle looked at her in disbelief: "Is what you said true? Is there really such a person?"

"Have."

Memphis said calmly: "There are many in our royal city. Before the King's New Deal was promulgated, there was at least one flesh and blood mill for every three blocks in the lower city. Even after the King's New Deal was promulgated, such people did not completely Forbidden."

Annabe asked in surprise: "Are they crazy? Once caught, the Internal Affairs Tribunal will burn them to death. Aren't they afraid of death?"

"Of course it's scary, but something drives them over the red line."

Memphis said lightly.

"And those things that drive them are the reason for the birth of the profane warrior."

Annabe fell silent, and she suddenly realized that she didn't know the royal city at all, and she didn't know those giant merchants called Maihara—they were Rhode's earliest sponsors, and many of her potions were donated by them for free of.

"Is it the same in Starry Sky City?" She asked softly.

Memphis nodded slightly: "The more people there are, the bigger the business will be, and the more unlimited it will be."

"Starry Sky City is a super city, much larger than our royal city. Thousands of years of time, countless dilapidated and destroyed, can't completely cover up the prosperity of Starry Sky City's business district. One can imagine how much greed is hidden here. After the black mist fell, the blasphemous warrior was born from this thick black ugliness."

Annabelle felt that her spirit had been impacted, and she felt very uncomfortable. She muttered, "I...I think most people should be fine..."

Suddenly, Rhodes' voice came from afar.

"Come here, there are clues here."

Annabelle stepped on the horse's hoof and flew to Rhodes.

Rhodes pointed to a large broken square in front of him and said: "Here, there is a large area of ​​battle traces. I saw Churchill's hammering and the marks of the axe, but when I walked out of this square, I couldn't find any new ones around. There are traces, please help me find it, with this place as the center, a radius of a thousand yards."

"Okay." Annabe immediately raised her horse's hooves and ran around, as if she could forget the conversation just now.

Mephis came over silently and said softly, "Rhode, maybe you should look underground."

"underground?"

Rhodes looked at her in surprise.

"Can the blasphemous warriors dig the ground? The ground of the Starry Sky City is reinforced with spiritual energy and is very strong. It is difficult to destroy it in a battle below the king level."

The Book of Knowledge suddenly said in his mind: "Master, it's possible! There may be more powerful blasphemous warriors here, and it will build a lair underground, turning this place into a hotbed of greed and constantly breeding new blasphemous warriors."

Rhodes frowned and asked, "If it's underground, where is the entrance?"

"There is no entrance."

Memphis and the Book of Knowledge gave him the answer almost at the same time.

"The profane warrior involves space capabilities. If there is a more powerful profane warrior, it will teleport back to its lair."

Rhodes asked in a deep voice, "Then how do you find it?"

Memphis replied: "It will not leave the commercial area, and its transmission capacity is limited, it will not exceed [-] yards."

In the dream, the Book of Knowledge glanced at her through Rhodes' consciousness, and said with a little surprise: "She knows the sinner very well."

"Sinner?"

"It is a monster born due to the sins of mankind. It is between the fallen and the pollutants. Only a few human characteristics remain, and the behavioral instinct is basically the same as that of a monster."

Rhodes didn't care either. He only studied for a few months before participating in the battle for a long time, and he didn't continue his studies due to various reasons. He lacked systematic education and lacked a lot of knowledge, which led to his deformed knowledge structure. Fully make it up.

With Mephis being so smart, he must have been an excellent student in school, and it's normal for him to know a few knowledge points that he doesn't know.

"Don't worry, oh yes, I've always wanted to read the book of the future. Are the rumors that she is the child of the curse and may destroy the royal city true?"

The book of knowledge turned the pages, with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

"This can't be true. Although the three-soul characteristic is rare, the consequences are at most going crazy out of control and turning into a monster. Her psychic power has not exceeded the limit. How can she destroy the royal city?"

"Humanity's royal city is guarded by holy fire. Adding phlogiston and firewood to the holy fire is the most basic job of human beings. After countless years of adding fire to the holy fire, the total amount of spiritual energy is astonishing. Only when the great terror comes, those indescribable Only when existence comes from the depths of the black mist can it be possible to destroy a royal city."

Rhodes nodded. He also knew that this was hard to believe, but when the Book of the Future told him about the prophecy of the source, he suddenly remembered something.

When the Great Prophet Iyeta predicted that "Mephis is the Son of Destruction", he denied it. Isn't it exactly the same as when the Book of Knowledge predicted "a catastrophe will happen in 51 days"?

The Book of the Future is very proficient in knowledge about prophecy. It told him before, "When the inspiration touches the invisible source, the obtained prophecy will be removed from memory. This is the prophecy of the source that countless prophets dream of most."

Therefore, Rhodes had to think, was the "Son of Destruction" the "prophecy of the source" made by Iyeta unconsciously?
He told his conjecture to the Book of Knowledge.

The Book of Knowledge said unhappily: "The prophecy of the source is just a legend. No one knows whether it is true. The Book of the Future is simply nonsense. It is of no use to me."

Rhodes smiled and said, "Who can be useful? Call him quickly."

The book of knowledge was said to be on his mind, and he immediately showed a smiling face, put down the repair work in his hand, and called the book of the future.

"Owner."

After hearing the master's request, Future Book hesitated and said: "She seems to be a bit special. I don't know if I can do it. My soul is too incomplete. Once a powerful spirit is involved, the ability to predict will be weakened rapidly."

Rhodes nodded: "It's okay, just try it."

The book of the future lay flat, and the pages began to turn rapidly.

Its weak psionic energy and thin spirituality were quickly consumed, and soon reached the point where it couldn't bear it.

"Chaos, cold, darkness... I, I can't do it..."

With a bang, the book of the future closed and said out of breath.

"I can't see her distant future, and I can't verify the truth of the prophecy. I need a more complete soul, stronger power, and I need to control my destiny."

Rhodes glanced at it in consciousness: "Control... destiny?"

"Yes, the prophecy will be more powerful only if you control your destiny."

Rhodes nodded: "Okay, you go to rest, Book of Knowledge, give it [-] copies of spirituality."

Book of the Future immediately said happily: "Thank you, master."

The Book of Knowledge was a little embarrassing, but when the master emphasized that it was the most useful, he regained his confidence and snorted and said, "Let's go, lucky you, you can get rewards if you don't use it."

Rhode withdrew his consciousness from the dream, and glanced at the silver-haired and silver-eyed Mephis in front of him. She looked like a snowflake, with white muscles and bones, and her eyes were like ice, thinking: "Let's talk about the Son of Destruction later, she is still trustworthy." .”

Then he said, "Amei, the commercial area is huge, and its lair is underground. How can we find it?"

Mephis's silvery eyes flickered, and he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden new title "Amei", but after only a few seconds of silence, he replied: "My spirit can sense the decaying breath, but Some humanity is needed."

Rhodes said with a smile: "It's time to mend humanity again, right?"

One hand skillfully wrapped around her slender waist, the other hugged her small head, and pressed it to her red lips.

Mephis' beautiful face was still as cold as ice, and his silver eyes were full of cold light, but he didn't resist.

The moment he kissed him, Rhodes' humanity quickly diminished, but compared to his total of more than 2000 million, it was just a drop in the bucket.

This is also the only time Memphis is willing to let him take advantage.

Just as his hand was about to touch upwards, there was ice on his lips, and the passage of humanity stopped immediately. Rhodes knew it was over, so he could only let her go, crush the ice on his mouth, and said slightly dissatisfied: "Why so fast? ? With such a little humanity, who can use it?"

Memphis looked icy, and replied lightly: "It's enough for me."

Rhodes felt a little regretful. After the Battle of Starry Sky City, Mephis didn't know what kind of enhancement he had obtained from the blessing of the main star priest. He further controlled the curse in her soul, and her need for humanity increased.

Rhodes was very happy about this.

Because under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Mephis to let him kiss, and the chances of mopping up are less than before. Although Mephis only needs to touch any part of his body to absorb his humanity, but since the first time is the mouth, the next time There is no reason to change.

When kissing, Rhodes' movements can be bigger. After all, he is being sucked. Although everyone has human nature, it is easy for ordinary people to be sucked dry.

If a person has no humanity, then his sanity is reduced, his resistance to corruption and erosion is negative, and the slightest pollution can degrade his soul.

Even in an absolutely clean environment, it is easy to go crazy, lose control of psionic energy, and spontaneously darken the soul.

Therefore, it is very reasonable to give Rhodes some welfare compensation appropriately, right?

However, after discovering that Rhodes has so much humanity that he can't finish it no matter how much he sucks it, and it doesn't affect him in any way, Mephis is reluctant to give it.

Rhodes is very unhappy about this, but there is no time to worry about it now.

Recall Annabelle, take Mephis, and head into the depths of the business district.

The commercial area is a huge central area in Starry Sky City, without large-scale spatial faults, it is connected to many areas in the outer circle and the middle circle, and those areas have huge and long faults. It can be said that only after the commercial area is cleaned up, they In order to further clean up Starry Sky City, otherwise the cleaning efficiency will not only be extremely low, but also dangerous.

That's why Churchel, the veteran guardian, was sent to lead the strongest seventh team over, but they didn't expect that they were also in crisis.

The deeper he went, the more dangerous Rhodes felt. The black mist became thicker and thicker, and the range of the lantern gradually narrowed. After killing the Queen of Stars who was possessed by the strange shadow, there was almost no such thick darkness in Starry Sky City. It's foggy.

It proves that there is indeed an extraordinary existence hidden in this area.

Rhodes began to worry a little, not only worried about Churchill and the seventh team, but also worried about Kashan, she shouldn't be allowed to lead the team alone.

However, Annabe's speed was very fast. I don't know if it was for this reason, but she didn't encounter any obstacles along the way.

Soon, they came to a huge church-shaped building. It was more than 300 yards high and over a thousand yards in diameter. , What a magnificent super building this is.

"It's right here." Mephis said suddenly, "Below it, there is a deep human rot. This is the lair of blasphemous warriors."

"Are you sure?" Rhodes asked briefly.

"determine."

"it is good!"

Rhodes flew under Annabelle, and his spiritual energy exploded and gathered on his right foot, emitting a misty light.

"Hey!"

Rhodes shouted violently, and stepped on his right foot suddenly.

【God Strike】!
Huge heat runs through it!

boom!
After being silent for 500 years, dust rose into the sky, and the ground jumped up like a violent drum, and huge cracks spread around at lightning speed.

Then, with a bang, the ground collapsed.

Numerous gravels fell down along with Rhodes and others.

Rhodes was overjoyed.

Sure enough, there was a huge void below.

A strong smell of rancid pollution soared into the sky. Obviously, this is the lair of the blasphemous warriors.

I found it so quickly.

Hahaha.

Amy is really useful.

During the fall, Rhode reached out to embrace Mephis, but she avoided it lightly.

"Good job, Amei, let me reward you well..."

Mephis said lightly: "Thank you, no need, I can feel someone's breath."

Rhode's face became serious, and he also found that the fire sign on the neckline was slightly warming, which indicated that it was linked to a new induction that was not there before.

Apparently, after he broke the zenith of the lair, some of the isolated senses were restored.

Rhodes immediately pressed the fire sign, trying to link this new induction.

The other party didn't answer, but the direction of the induction was very clear.

"This way!"

Before Rhodes landed, he stepped on his feet and flew away.

As soon as Mephis raised his hand, a path of ice appeared in midair, just in time to catch Annabe and her.

Annabelle said in amazement: "Amei, your ability is really easy to use."

Stepping on all four hooves, he took Mephis and galloped on the path of ice, and followed Rhodes in the blink of an eye.
