the last king of darkness

Chapter 573 The Doomsday Disaster and the Hope of Life
Wang showed a joyful smile, waved his hand and said, "Aren't these everywhere?"

"what?"

Rhodes looked at the thick white ash under his feet in surprise.

"Are these the ashes of monsters?"

Generally speaking, after a powerful monster dies, its dark soul dissipates, taking away most of the polluted spirituality, and the remnant body turns into soulless ashes, and the few remaining spiritual mixtures gather to form monster ashes.

As the black mist returns to the void and takes away all the pollution, the ashes of the newly born monsters are absolutely pure without any pollution, and have a variety of spiritual powers and life forces. They are usually used to make various potions, or to brew souls. Soup.

The stronger the monster, the more precious the ashes of the monster left behind.

The ashes of high-level monsters are one of the important resources of the royal city
However, it is usually only a small ball, hidden in these thick residual ash.

Rhodes originally thought that these white ashes were soulless ashes, but he did not expect that they were the ashes of precious king-level monsters.

Wang Han smiled and nodded.

"Why are there so many?" Rhode glanced around, and saw that the entire holy fire sacrificial field was covered with such a thick layer of white ash.

This amount is thousands of times more than other monsters.

Wang smiled and said: "This is the monster's ashes of the king of the deep sea. Its huge body has gathered unimaginable power. Even if the black mist returns to the void, the remaining spiritual substances will fill up all the remaining ashes... There is nothing better than this." What’s even better, the people from the Pharmacy Institute will be here soon, and we can make many powerful potions again.”

Annabelle immediately cheered behind her.

As a person who climbed up step by step from the bottom, she knows the value of a king-level monster's ashes too well.

"There are so many ashes, and many people can drink potions that they can't normally drink! This is really great!"

At this time, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of Rhodes' eyes.

[The divinity to be obtained +75]

75 divinity points!
Rhodes was stunned!
Killing the King of the Deep Sea actually gained 75 divinity points!
Although it is very powerful, it is far away from humans and does not pose any threat to Trorian.

Rhodes didn't think about how much divinity it would gain by killing it at all. At most, as a king-level monster, it was a potential threat to human beings and a terrifying source of pollution to the spirit world. It would be nice to give it a little divinity.

Unexpectedly, it gave the divinity to solve a big crisis.

Obviously, a large part of this was brought by these ashes.

Hahaha!
The King of the Deep Sea is simply a treasure!
The king smiled and said: "The three of you will get ten badges of fire, the names of the black warband will be engraved in the temple of fire, and your deeds will also be circulated in the big library. The legends of the Ice Maiden, they will be part of Trorian history."

Annabelle was dissatisfied: "What kind of horse girl? I don't want this title!"

Memphis also spoke in a rare way: "I don't want it either."

Wang comforted: "Okay, the specific name can be discussed with the mission office of the Holy Church, and you can enter it into the big library after you confirm it."

Rhode didn't want to talk at first, but at this moment, he felt strongly unfair.

"Can I change it?"

Wang rebuffed: "No, the black rice bucket has already been spread in Trorian. Every tavern and square in the king's city has sung about Ni's deeds. Changing the name rashly will cause confusion and damage morale."

At this moment, Rhodes almost swears, but for the sake of humanity, he suppressed it and focused his attention on the Destiny Sword in his hand.

During the period of time under the control of the King of the Deep Sea, this ancient artifact has been strongly corroded, with black cracks spreading on the sword body, the divine power of fate has become dim, and it exudes a strong decaying atmosphere.

"Wang, can this artifact still be used?"

There was some regret in Wang's expression.

"It's a pity that its remaining value may not be much. The King of the Deep Sea seems to be very thirsty for the power of fate. Even if this power cannot be absorbed by it, it will consume its spiritual energy. It is also tirelessly seeking... The Divine Sword of Destiny has been damaged and polluted as a result, Wangcheng currently has no ability to repair this artifact."

Rhodes can only regretfully put it in the dream, to see if there is any place to use it in the future.

At this time, a group of collectors dressed in gray and brown entered the holy fire sacrificial field.

Using special collection tools, they carefully packed the ashes into urns at their waists.

The whole work was under the supervision of the fire priest, and no one dared to look up at the king and the huge holy fire above.

That is their god and belief.

Rhodes stood aside, hesitating how to tell Wang about the Star Soul.

There is no doubt that the object that sealed the star soul and power of the Devourer of Darkness is among the ashes, but the whole story of the matter must not be revealed.

There are so many ashes, and he has no reason to go, that's too unreasonable.

Just as Rhodes was thinking, a collector suddenly let out a scream.

The eyes of several fire priests immediately swept over. A fire guardian descended from the sky and stepped on him. Shiny spiritual ropes flew out of his sleeves like snakes, binding him tightly in an instant.

Annabelle covered her mouth in surprise. She saw the collector's painful face and protruding eyeballs, so she couldn't help shouting, "Be gentle, he's hurt!"

No one paid attention to her, and the other collectors just focused on their work as if they hadn't seen it.
It wasn't until several sharp knives were placed around his neck that the fire priest's questioning began.

"What happened?"

The collector reluctantly said: "I, I found that there is still a lump of condensation in the ashes."

"where?"

"In my collection tool, it's stuck."

The fire priest warned: "Don't move around."

Leaning down, without letting go of the rope, he forcibly pulled the long collection tool from his arms.

The Collector's arm was bloody, but he reluctantly made a sound. Annabe couldn't bear it, and grabbed Rhode's arm and begged: "Rhode, let them relax a little bit, he's just an ordinary person, There is no threat to us."

Rhodes didn't want to talk at first. This is the rule of the holy fire sacrificial field. The experience of thousands of years must have its reason. It is unwise to break it rashly without knowing the reason.

But he also knew that this condensate should be the object that sealed the star soul, so after thinking about it, he said: "Let's loosen it up a little."

The weight of Rhodes' words is different. He is the son of fire. Although the identity of the hidden fire has not been made public, it is still known among the Zhili guards of these kings.

The fire priest bowed to Rhodes and ordered: "Let go."

The collector murmured: "Ah, thank you, thank you, my hand hurts too much, I'm sorry to trouble you..."

However, the moment the rope was loosened, the collector's right hand was pulled out like lightning, and the soul, which had no spiritual power, suddenly burst into a level nine spiritual fluctuation, which was already at the level of a third-level combatant.

"Doomsday believers!" the fire priest yelled.

The sharp blade pierced his neck in an instant, but he still threw the thing in his hand.

It was a heart, still beating with blood.

And a big hole had been dug in his chest.

"Destroy, maggots!"

he shouted.

"Brightness is always short, but darkness is eternal! How can the evil fire of destruction understand the true meaning of life in darkness?"

brush!
The flames on the sharp blade instantly engulfed him, but his heart had already exploded, and black liquid spilled out.

"Black water!" The fire priest shouted.

But in the next instant, an invisible force froze the black water in midair.

Under the firelight, the pure black liquid was beating, continuously evaporating black mist.

Wang flicked his fingers, and a flame shot out from the holy fire, engulfing the black mist and black water.

After a while, the flames dissipated, and the black mist disappeared without a trace.

Behind the king, the huge holy flame was still there, but Rhodes, who had become a hidden flame, was keenly aware that the aura of the holy flame was a little weaker.

"see it?"

Wang said softly.

"It's not that we are cruel. The holy fire sacrificial field is the heart of Trorian. Doomsday believers want to destroy it all the time. Extinguishing the fire is their ultimate goal at all costs. Even if it can't be extinguished, as long as it can cause pollution, that's fine." Success, and in such a life-and-death struggle, mercy is of no use."

Annabe knew that she had made a mistake, and she didn't know why she felt a huge amount of sympathy at that moment. She bowed her head deeply and said:

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I was wrong, please punish me."

"Do not."

Rhode stopped the responsibility: "This is my fault, without my order, the fire priest will not let go."

Wang nodded: "Rhode, this is your dereliction of duty, and you will be punished without receiving your weekly salary for ten weeks."

This is not a punishment. For Rhodes now, he doesn't need a weekly salary at all.

Rhodes understood what the king meant, and the reaction just now showed that although the doomsday cultist hid the black water in his heart in some way to avoid inspection, he should not have escaped the king's eyes.

This is telling him, the duty of the king.

Rhodes had always believed that the king was merciful, but now it seemed that the king was not just merciful.

The traces of the riot were quickly cleaned up, and everything returned to normal, but Rhodes was very disturbed.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but this doomsday cultist seemed to know what he was looking for, and deliberately said the three words "condensation".

If not, Rhodes would never speak, and he would not have any chance to succeed.

What exactly is going on?

Among the doomsday believers, are there any characters who can predict?

When Asa wakes up, I must ask him carefully.

Rhodes thought.

After that, Wang and Rhodes briefly discussed the issue of doomsday believers.

Now Trorian's internal form is far better than it was a few years ago.

The internal moths were basically emptied, especially the Justices, and the Doomsday Cultists were also severely hit. Under the continuous attack of the ruling chief Lucien, the Polluter Sect has completely perished, and the Adventist Sect has been hit hard.

Rhodes nodded, after losing Amon, it will perish sooner or later.

What is left is the fundamentalist Sect of Destruction and the ever-hidden Survivor Sect.

The Destruction Sect is a lunatic who wants to destroy everything. The collectors who attacked the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground are obviously from this faction. Fire fighting is what they do most often.

The Survivor sect is much more moderate. Its tenet is that the black mist is invincible. Instead of fighting desperately and sacrificing in vain, it is better to find or build an extraterrestrial shelter and hide in the shelter forever.

The former has little influence within Trorian.

After all, there are not many real lunatics, and as Trorian's internal environment improves, there are fewer and fewer such people.

Although the latter has a certain influence, it rarely attacks Trorian, and its biggest negative impact is negative.

The best way to eradicate it is to destroy the soil in which it lives.

As long as human beings continue to win, its influence will become smaller and smaller, and eventually it will disappear quietly.

However, no matter what kind they are, they are doomsday believers after all, and they must be wiped out in the hotbed, and they must not be allowed to develop.

During the long conversation, time passed imperceptibly.

Soon, most of the ashes in the holy fire sacrificial ground were collected, and finally, a collector shouted in a calm voice.

"I found an anomaly! There seems to be a stone here!"

While speaking, he always bowed his waist and maintained a collecting posture.

The two fire priests just stood by his side instead of using coercive measures.

A fireman stepped forward and dug out the unremarkable stone from the thick ashes.

Rhode's heart jumped suddenly.

That's right, that's it!

The power that was separated and sealed by the former dream master!
The star at the core of the dream, the star soul of the Devourer of Darkness!

When Rhodes was thinking about what excuse to use to bring it over, the king spoke.

"Well... this is the essence of the ashes of this monster. It will be of great help to the newcomers who have just become the Spark Sequence for less than two years and have ignited more than 13 fire seeds."

Rhodes was overjoyed, that's right, isn't this me?
uh, no!

Isn't it just me?

Wang, you want to give it to me, can't you just say my name?

Rhodes scratched his head, feeling that Wang's partiality was too obvious.

Does he know something?

Wang winked at him, and continued: "In view of Rhodes' contribution to Trorian, I will give him the essence of the ashes of this monster."

The Fire Priest respectfully sent the stone into Rhode's hands without any hesitation.

The moment he touched it, Rhodes felt his soul boiling.

The Book of Knowledge shouted wildly in his mind: "It is it, it is it, it is it! It's back, I feel it, it's back, master, send it to the dreamland!"

Rhodes blocked the noise of the Book of Knowledge, raised his head, and turned his gaze to the king.

Wang smiled slightly, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Little Rhodes, this is what you want, right?"

Rhodes was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"That's why you traveled thousands of miles to kill the King of the Deep Sea, right?"

Rhodes nodded.

"take it easy."

Wang said gently.

"I know you are a little bit unusual, it's very common, every genius has his secrets, some can tell, some can't."

Rhodes looked at Wang in shock, and blurted out: "Anyone else?"

Wang smiled and nodded.

"Of course there are, such as Misha, such as Alan, such as Kai, such as Princess Dark Moon who inherited half of Olivia's brother's flesh and soul, and those new stars, Jessica, Taro, Feixue, Twin Stars and Twins Goddess, it's just that you develop faster than them, and the growth curves of new stars are different."

He paused, then continued.

"In the past 20 years, especially in the past five years, Trorian's super geniuses have appeared like a blowout. Although the external environment is harsh, there is a great revival in the new generation. Hundreds of years, thousands of Geniuses who meet once a year appear frequently, but our resources cannot afford such a large consumption, and some people have been buried because of this."

"I have a hunch that we are about to face an unprecedented catastrophe that will determine the survival of the world."

"Of course, this is just my guess."

"But if this is true, this is our catastrophe and our opportunity, can you understand, Rhodes."

Rhodes looked at the king in astonishment. He finally understood that Trorian had been pampering and protecting him all the time. It was impossible for his anomaly to be discovered by no one, but no high-level executive had ever pressed him for his secret.

"I see!"

Rhodes clenched his hands instantly.

Now that he knows this, he can start working with confidence and boldness.

Everyone tacitly said that it would be fine not to speak out about his conjectures.

The source feedback of the black mist is no joke.

But Rhodes was not afraid.

Someday, he'll stand in the sun and tell it all out loud.

-

-

After leaving the holy fire sacrificial field, Annabelle and Mephis returned to the station.

After such a battle, they really need to take a good rest for a while.

Rhodes finally got time and space, and returned to the dreamland.

The Book of Knowledge almost jumped over close to his face, circling the stone non-stop.

The puppet also followed closely around Rhodes uncharacteristically.

Until now, Rhodes had no time to look at the stone carefully.

It doesn't look like anything special, it doesn't feel any different at all.

Only when the soul resonates with it instinctively, Rhodes knows that it is extraordinary.

"How do I open it?" Rhodes asked.

The pages of the Book of Knowledge frantically turned, trying to find all the knowledge that could answer this question.

After a moment, it stopped and spoke confidently.

"Master, you need to throw it into the fire of the Devourer of Darkness yourself."

Rhode glanced at the night sky in surprise, the red star in the middle was the Darkness Devourer.

"It's done and quantified, and the bonfire has left the wasteland of souls."

The Book of Knowledge seriously replied: "But its essence has not changed. If you look at the stars and imagine approaching them, you will be able to enter the stars, find the fire of the stars, and return the star soul to its place."

Rhodes did as he said, raised his head, and stared at the Devourer of Darkness.

It is like a dark red eye in the night sky. When Rhodes looked at it, it was also looking at Rhodes.

However, when the idea of ​​approaching appeared in his mind, the next moment, the world turned upside down, and the stars approached rapidly.

His eyes dimmed, and he entered the interior of the Devourer of Darkness.

This is a boundless dark world, with a huge dark red flame burning in the middle.
