the last king of darkness

Chapter 565 Everything

The expression on Rhode's face remained the same, but there was a huge wave in his heart.

After so many things, Hegeol, the previous master of dreams, is still here.

The most astonishing thing is that it actually entered the soul wasteland.

This is the inside of the obelisk, the most secret place in the Dreamland.

Rhodes didn't fully believe the figure in front of him. He clearly remembered the last incident. Amon used the evil thoughts buried deep in Hegeol's remnant soul to try to corrode his soul and pollute the dream.

If it wasn't for his will being as tough as steel, Amon would have succeeded.

After killing the evil thoughts, Hegeol's name on the tombstone completely turned black, and his name was burning like a fire, as if after this, he was truly recognized by the dream and became a The complete master of dreams.

Therefore, the list of "Apostles of the Dream" appeared behind the tombstone, and there was a mass of ashes under the tombstone.

Rhodes remembered to put it in the storage place in the House of God, and as soon as he thought about it, the feedback of the dream came along, which also made Rhodes breathe a sigh of relief - when he was invaded by evil thoughts, he didn't feel the dream at all of.

In the storage place, all the materials were frozen in a special time and space, without any change, except for the ashes missing!

really!

This shadow is related to Hegeol.

Rhodes looked at him vigilantly, ready to fight at any time. Although Amon had been eaten, there was no guarantee that there would be no residue. The sense of security in front of him might be just a cover.

The figure saw his vigilance, but didn't care.

"I understand your vigilance."

he said in a calm tone.

"This is my mistake. Due to my failure, I was greatly polluted before my death. My body was desecrated, and my soul was twisted and cursed. The ancient evil thoughts wanted to completely destroy me and me through this method. Dreamland...I'm sorry, I have to use the word dreamland too, this is the definition of you, the new dreamlord."

Rhode's heart trembled, and he couldn't help asking: "Is the dream... defined by me?"

"Yes, the dream has meaning only if the master exists. If there is no master, the dream is just a concept, just like the law rules in the sea of ​​sources... Oh, you call it the source, which is why they plotted against me. , but there is no reason to pollute the dream.”

Rhodes was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

The figure showed a faint smile.

"Remember the moment when you got the dream? Your brain was like a hammer."

Rhodes frowned and immediately remembered.

"Isn't that because you... are you crazy and attacking the obelisk?"

Shadow said without hesitation:

"Yes, that is the soul of the source that I have blackened and gone mad. When there is no owner, the time of the dream will not pass, the dream will not be observed, cannot be touched, there is no entity, just like the law of the source, It's some kind of lawful law... the moment you become its master, everything starts again."

He paused.

"From the time I die."

Rhodes hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then why..."

The figure said calmly:

"You put my soul into the red star, the devourer of darkness, that is the core of the dream and our origin, the moment you become the master of the dream, you also become the devourer of darkness, the representative of the red star By."

"When the owner of the dreamland dies, he will return to the stars...until the next owner appears."

"It was only because my death was so special that some twists and turns occurred in the process... and therefore hidden dangers were planted. Evil thoughts hid in the stars through my soul, trying to attack you at an appropriate time and occupy you. body, tampering with your spirit, so as to achieve the purpose of usurping dreams and eradicating 'human life'."

The figure looked at him, the pupils under the shadows were full of complex emotions, and a little pleasantly surprised.

"However, you, Rhodes, the stranger, smashed his plot, defeated the terrible evil thoughts, and did not let him succeed."

"Your will is amazing. I couldn't understand why you became the master of the dream, but at that moment, I knew that there is a reason why the dream chooses any master."

It wasn't until this moment that Rhodes understood what was going on. While feeling grateful, he couldn't help but marvel at the magic of fate, and said modestly: "Hahaha, yes, you are right."

"of course."

The figure's smile turned bitter.

"I am an exception. I am such a pathetic loser, I should be permanently expelled from the dream, and I am not eligible to appear on the tombstone."

Rhodes sympathized with Hegeol's experience very much, but he couldn't think of words of comfort, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

But the figure didn't continue talking, his expression became serious.

"What I want to tell you now is a very important thing. Adoris and Aphrodite failed to remember it in time and told you that this is their serious dereliction of duty. If it was before, they would be severely punished." punishment, but now, it is your power."

He paused, then continued.

"As I said just now, the Red Star, the Devourer of Darkness, is the core of the dream and our body. It is an existence beyond the soul."

"Under normal conditions, its power should be passed down from generation to generation."

"But because of my special situation, before I died, I separated it and threw it out of the dream... To put it simply, the current Red Star has no soul."

Rhode suddenly realized.

"No wonder the Devourer of Darkness provides so little star power. It was only 200 before it was quantized, and it was only 6000 after it was quantized."

The figure nodded and continued.

"So, when my source soul returned to the stars, it immediately reached a critical state, but it did not provide star energy."

"Even if you complete quantification, it doesn't have much energy, and it doesn't show its true ability."

"Not only that, because it is your natal life, your body and soul are also very weak in nature, so your growth is so slow, and the path of growth is so twisted, which is very rare among the dream masters of all ages of."

Rhodes scratched his head and asked tentatively.

"You mean, if everything works out, I'll be strong from the start?"

The figure replied:

"Yes, you will get a very strong star, and get its full power after completing quantification, you will quickly become a strong man in this human kingdom, and grow at an amazing speed, not so slow Snail walk."

The moment he heard this answer, Rhode felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavored bottle. If this could really happen, then his growth would not have so many twists and turns, and he would not have such a black idiot, the king of sewers, etc. Terrible title.

Rhodes resisted the pain in his heart and asked.

"Then where should I find the soul of the Devourer of Darkness?"

The figure said cautiously.

"I threw it into the Chaos Sea... This is one of the areas of the high-level spirit world. If I'm not mistaken, Asmons, the king of the deep sea, swallowed it. You can kill it to regain this power. "

Rhodes widened his eyes.

"Chaos Sea? Asmons, King of the Deep Sea?"

The figure gave him a strange look.

"Yes...you met it?"

Rhodes swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

No wonder this guy is always chasing after him and the dream, even running into the material world, because he smells something similar to his devouring power.

"Well... I have encountered it twice. The last time it broke through the barrier of space, came to the ancient city of Sagus, and took away my Destiny Excalibur."

There was a trace of surprise in the figure's eyes.

"Excalibur of Destiny?"

Rhodes briefly told what happened in the ancient city of Sagus, including the influence of the past that he saw.

The figure fell into a long silence, and it took a long time before he let out a long sigh.

"It turns out that the God of Destiny and the God of Flesh Rebirth still have such a past."

"That was the ancient times, the era of the gods, the god of destiny can meet so far into the future, he didn't give me the relics, or the previous dream masters, but directly chose you, which must be For some reason."

The figure looked at him, and the eyes under the shadow became sharp.

"You are special."

Rhodes sighed.

"It's useless. A more powerful unknown existence has distorted the established destiny. Every follower of the hand of fate is a stronger disaster for me. Now, I am facing an even worse situation."

The figure also sighed.

"Unfortunately, my soul has already died, otherwise I will definitely be able to dig out more secrets from it and give you some good suggestions."

Rhodes laughed.

"Isn't there also now? After I returned to the king city this time, I immediately requested to organize forces to crusade against the king of the deep sea."

The figure nodded.

"Your current strength is very weak, it is necessary to use human power..."

His words were suddenly interrupted, and the shadow became transparent, with some illusory feeling.

"Oh, my time is up, unfortunately, I wanted to chat with you for a longer time... What a pity..."

Rhodes was also a little bit reluctant, he wanted to ask the former dream master too much, but at this moment, he didn't know what to ask.

"Oh, right."

The figure suddenly remembered something and said.

"Since you don't know about the Red Star, then you certainly don't know about Star Soul either."

Rhodes asked in surprise: "What is a star soul?"

The figure didn't answer immediately, but turned around and opened his hands.

"Behold, this wasteland of souls, this innumerable ashes, do you know what it is?"

At this final moment, the figure became vigorous, and his tone was full of passion and pride.

Rhodes froze for a moment, and asked instinctively, "What is it?"

"This is the hall where countless human heroes and spirits have gathered. Since the appearance of the dark disaster, for thousands of years, the bones of all human heroes and heroes have been buried. Their will, their strength, their flesh and blood souls, the wasteland has put everything in them. They are all staying here, just waiting for the day of rekindling."

"The stars you ignite are all human spirits."

"These infinite heroic spirits gathered into the greatness of the dream."

"Ignite it, let it become a star, and illuminate the path of those who come after. This is the best memorial to their souls."

"but."

The figure suddenly changed the tone and said seriously.

"Do you think it will be finished after quantification?"

"No, no, you're missing the most crucial step—obtaining the soul of the stars!"

"The star soul is the true core of a star, entrusting all the thoughts and emotions of its owner. Only by obtaining the star soul can you truly obtain a complete star and its true power!"

The figure's words knocked Rhode's skull like thunder, and a burst of fresh air poured in from the top of his head, as if enlightened. At this moment, Rhode finally understood that he had consumed so many souls and resources, and the power he gained was far from enough Proportional reason!

It turned out that the most critical step was missing!
Obtain the star soul of a star!

Rhodes suddenly remembered that the Book of Knowledge once vaguely said that after the quantification is completed, the stars have another level.

But its words were very vague at the time, and Rhodes didn't care.

Thinking about it now, the Book of Knowledge should still have noticed something was wrong, but the lack of memory made it impossible to understand what was wrong.

"How do I get the star soul?" Rhode asked anxiously.

The figure shook his head: "You should find the fragments of the dream first, part of the function of the dream is missing."

Rhodes suddenly understood, no wonder there was no hint about it in the dream.

But where is this fragment?
The shadow seemed to know what he was thinking, and recalled: "During the Battle of Broken Dreams, I was besieged by the kings. Now that I think about it, I should probably be in the ice prison—an area in the high-level spirit world. You have the power of the heavenly sphere." Bell, you should look for it there."

Rhodes carefully wrote down every word in his words, and took the time to ask again.

"The Battle of Broken Dreams?"

The figure's expression became dim, but the speed of speech accelerated.

"Yes, that was the end of the Age of Fire, the coming of darkness and turmoil and catastrophe, ending our last hope."

"It's a long story, but I'm running out of time and I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it."

The figure gradually faded, together with the surrounding darkness.

Rhodes suddenly remembered one more thing, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the Darkness Devourer?"

The figure replied: "It is special, it is a complete star, its star soul has already returned to its place, and it has been passed down from generation to generation by the master of the dreamland... What I separated is actually its star soul, It took most of its star energy with it."

Rhodes let out a long breath, and had already made a decision in his heart. Killing the King of the Deep Sea became his most important thing now. The second thing was to go to the ice prison to find the dream fragments.

"Thank you." He said earnestly.

In these last moments, the figure raised his head, and Rhodes saw that his eyes were full of sadness.

"I'm just a memory, an image of the past, a by-product twisted by evil thoughts. Although it's meaningless, I still want to know from your mouth, is the Kingdom of Stars... perishing?"

Rhodes nodded slightly.

"Destroyed, according to the time calculation, about a hundred years after your death."

The air on the figure became obviously haggard, full of loneliness, and asked softly.

"What about the Starry Queen? Lena...how is she?"

Rhodes briefly told him all the results.

A bright light burst out of the human figure's eyes, and he murmured: "Ah, it's you, Lena, Lena... I'm sorry, I, it's me..."

Before he finished speaking, he broke down in tears.

The shadow dissipated at an accelerated rate, and soon, he disappeared without a trace, leaving only the last two sentences.

"Be careful of ancient evil thoughts... There is more than one person who framed me."

"On the Eternal Statue Square, I left a trace of Reina, you can summon her...but only once."

The voice dissipated, and the former dream master disappeared forever in the long river of history and ceased to exist.
