the last king of darkness

Chapter 639 The beginning of everything

When Rhodes opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by chaotic human voices.

Dim flames floated in the air, and a dry and cold feeling came from beneath him.

He stood up and found himself lying naked in a sunken cave.

A figure swayed not far away, and a voice shouted.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, there is something for everyone, today's dinner is potato pancakes, two yuan for adults, one piece for children, one and a half pieces for the elderly..."

Consciousness and thinking returned quickly, and Rhodes quickly came to his senses, realizing that he had returned to the residence of the survivors of the Misty City.

He saw at a glance the non-combatants who stayed here before departure. Professor Binns and Professor Barrett were talking to the refugees in St. Rael. They seemed to have initially mastered the language of St. Rael. Several bishops were treating them. wounded.

Qingyu, Evra and others have not returned to the station yet.

They brought close to 500 million civilians, even with the escort of "Gust", they were not so fast.

Rhodes stood up, but no one noticed him. These refugees were crowded in front of the food distributors, eagerly waiting for their dinner.

The heavy memory flooded in. The fallen and sober pope, the terrifying truth about the sun, the moon and the stars, the dark disaster that is happening on this land, the ancient gods, the abyss, and the ultimate secret are all in his mind. Emerging in the middle, making the picture in front of you look a little distorted.

For a moment, Rhodes envied them very much.

They don’t know anything, they don’t need to know anything, as long as they are in a relatively stable environment, they are satisfied with food and clothing, and they firmly believe that the powerful people of fire and human beings will protect them. Their biggest wish is that one day, they or their A child can ignite the fire of the soul and become a member of the strong.

Such simplicity and carefree, must be very happy, right?
But this envy only lasted for a moment, and Rhodes returned to normal, and his heart became firm again.

Even if the future is dangerous, there is no need to be afraid.

After all, I am the invincible war god of Trorian.

Hahahahaha!
At this time, the voice of the Book of Knowledge also sounded in my mind.

"Master, you have finally been resurrected, do you feel any difference?"

Rhodes froze for a moment, and immediately remembered the little flame that the Pope gave him at the end.

That seems to be obtained because he used the Stone of Resurrection and saved the power of the Pope.

He looked at his hands and didn't feel anything different.

"I didn't feel anything strange, what is that fire? No..."

The Book of Knowledge said in an unusually heavy voice: "Look at the divinity of dreams."

Rhodes was taken aback.

Divinity?
As soon as he thought about it, the number on the obelisk appeared in front of his eyes.

Divinity: 289
what?
Rhode's eyeballs almost popped out.

He clearly remembered that after rescuing the team of the first holy son Taxis, he gained 60 divinity points.

The total divinity reached 128 points.

At that time, it was because Rhodes was worried that these divinities might be used in the battle with Pope St. Rael, so he didn't use them immediately.

But the state of the Pope far exceeded their expectations, and the divinity was naturally not consumed.

Of course, if the pope had really fallen completely, then such a huge gap and such a little bit of divinity would be useless.

But why did divinity explode so much?
A full 161 points more!
Rhodes carefully recalled that during that time, he did not gain any divinity.

Even with the spire of the Tower of the Sun, the acquisition of divinity is a very strict thing. Unless what he does actually brings about changes for human beings, it is impossible to obtain divinity.

Human beings as a whole, in the dark void, have a special operating mechanism, even 1 point of divinity, and it cannot be obtained at will.

Not to mention 161 points of divinity!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Rhodes' mind, and he said in surprise: "Book, this, this can't be..."

The tone of the Book of Knowledge has never been more serious.

"Yes, I checked. We didn't get any divinity. This 161 divinity is a gift from the Pope."

"What...how is this possible?"

The puppet said: "Master, we couldn't believe it at first... But after careful study, we think that this matter is not incomprehensible. The real king is the god of mankind. Even in the ancient era, he is also the most powerful and top-notch god." The strong one is equivalent to the righteous god among the ancient gods."

"Since it is a god, it is not difficult to understand having divinity."

"Since you have divinity, it is also within your imagination to bestow divinity."

"I think that the Book of Knowledge and I should have known, that the deepest and most secret knowledge of this kind may be hidden in the absence of the last morsel of our souls."

Rhodes was silent for a moment, and asked: "If this is really the case, then can I understand that the road to becoming a god must require divinity?"

The puppet replied solemnly: "Yes, the master is right. In fact, in the depths of my soul and the book of knowledge, I always have a desire for divinity... However, our soul is not complete enough, reason tells us It's dangerous to get it now."

Rhodes frowned: "I remember, your current image is not your original image?"

Both the Book of Knowledge and the puppet fell silent.

After a long time, the Book of Knowledge cautiously responded.

"Master, we only vaguely remember this matter. It seems that we were not like this before we became dream creations... Returning to the original state is an instinct hidden in our hearts. Occasionally, we will have this urge. But reason can suppress it."

Rhodes nodded.

"Let's imagine boldly that you want to return to your original state. This is your instinct, and at the same time you yearn for divinity. So, does this mean that you were also a member of the ancient gods before becoming dream creations?"

The Book of Knowledge and the puppet exchanged glances. They had actually guessed this for a long time, but they couldn't be sure.

Rhodes was very determined: "I knew you were, don't worry, after we win the final victory and rebuild the blue and clean world, I will give you divinity and restore you to your original appearance."

The Book of Knowledge shouted excitedly: "Master, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, master, you are really great, I, Adoris, am willing to dedicate everything to master."

The puppet's eyes flashed: "I finally understand where my power comes from... Although I can't go back to the beginning now, consuming my divinity can allow me to regain my former power, master, I can hold 100 points of divinity Now, I will be the sharp blade in your hand, tearing apart any monsters that dare stand in front of the master!"

Rhodes was both happy and worried: "Afro, can you still grow?"

"Of course, the more complete and powerful my soul is, the more divinity it can hold. Although we have recovered the soul fragments, the soul in the fragments is in an extremely damaged state and needs a lot of spiritual recovery. I need to swallow More spirituality, more training."

Rhodes immediately said: "Okay, from now on, there is no limit to your spirituality, you can eat as much as you want."

The beautiful face of the doll is glowing, and for the first time it looks like a living person, not a doll:
"As you wish, my lord."

At this time, Asa suddenly appeared.

"Master, I want it too! If you want to become the king of devouring poop, divinity must be indispensable!"

The Book of the Future also shouted: "Master, and me, I want to regain control of destiny, and I want to become the master of destiny!"

Rhodes smiled slightly, he is not good at other things, but he is first-rate in painting big cakes.

"Don't worry, in the not-too-distant future, you will all become gods, and you are the four great gods under the Lord of Dreams!"

After blowing wildly, Asa and Future Book fell asleep satisfied.

Their souls are in a state of constant growth or restoration and need a lot of sleep.

The puppet also came to an open field, and started combat training with the king of evil spirits.

Only the book of knowledge remained in place, and asked: "Master, are you sure you don't feel anything strange? I am a little uneasy about the divinity from a fallen true king."

Rhodes pondered: "No, I don't feel it at all, and there is nothing strange in the dream."

The Book of Knowledge let out a sigh of relief: "That's good...Master, don't use these divinities for the time being. I have a hunch that there will be a very dangerous situation in the future. The most important thing is to get through the crisis first."

Rhodes nodded, and learned from the Pope's words that the blood god of filth will soon descend from the void to this land.

The king of St. Rael was about to be unable to stop him.

It's no wonder that they have never seen the real body of the filthy blood god, only his derivative monsters ravaging the earth.

It turned out that he was banished into the abyss by the Pope as soon as he woke up.

"Book, how did you do this? The pope was trapped in the sacred fire sacrificial field, and he couldn't even pass on the information, but he was able to exile an ancient god."

The Book of Knowledge murmured: "The true king who has the root source is a class completely different from ours. They have obtained extremely strong law authority and can manipulate the laws of the world more freely, so he can suppress the stars in dreams. Only by preventing it from functioning can it be able to suppress spiritual energy, and only with incomparable power and unimaginable power can it be called a god."

"We don't need to be surprised by anything that happens to the true king, but he must be restricted by strict rules to maintain his sanity in a corrupted situation, and he must have paid a high price for exiling the ancient gods."

Rhodes clenched his fists and felt the boiling power in his heart: "Book, have the sun, moon and stars really been polluted?"

The Book of Knowledge said in a deep voice: "The black mist has already eroded all possible places. The sun, moon and stars are a collection of infinitely huge spirits running in the extremely high-level spirit world and hidden behind countless space faults. After countless years, It's hard to imagine them not being eroded, and all the catastrophic astrology we see is caused by them being polluted."

Rhodes pondered: "However, there are normal astrology... Does this mean that the sun, moon and stars are not completely polluted?"

The Book of Knowledge nodded.

Rhodes said again: "Book, I remember you said that purifying the high-level spiritual world is the ultimate mission of the dream and the only way for us to achieve final victory, but the outermost spiritual world is still above the high-level spiritual world..."

The Book of Knowledge was silent for a few seconds before replying: "Perhaps, the outermost spiritual world is also a part of the high-level spiritual world. Perhaps, after the high-level spiritual world is purified, the great pollution in the starry sky can be further cleared."

Rhodes nodded, this answer is acceptable.

"Owner."

The Book of Knowledge said cautiously.

"Please be sure to leave St. Rael before the blood god comes again. Now that we meet the real king, we are really likely to perish."

Rhodes nodded: "I know."

Glancing at the obelisk, there are only forty days left in the Black Mist Demon's invasion.

"The black mist demon... is it a real king-level monster?"

The Book of Knowledge replied in a deep voice: "Unlike the True King, it is a pure condensate of black mist, without controlling the root source, but with the power of black mist, it is not necessarily weaker than the ancient god."

Rhode's heart sank. From this point of view, the battle with the Black Mist Demon was probably more ominous than good.

However, the time of invasion can be extended with "Colorful Dreams", don't worry too much.

The thing to do now is to save as many survivors as possible.

Everyone is actually a spark for the future. Only when countless sparks gather together can they have greater vitality.

With a thought, Rhodes left the dream, put on a robe taken out of the dream, and walked out of the cave.

The order in the resident is somewhat chaotic, but it is still under control, which proves that the managers in charge of civil affairs are somewhat capable.

Just when he wanted to find someone to ask about the situation, the shelter covering the station was suddenly released.

Saint Evra rushed in right away and bumped into Rhodes.

Well, it's so soft.

When Evra saw Rhode's face clearly, surprise filled her eyes.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, how did you come back? Where is Taxis?"

Rhodes couldn't explain it for a while, so he could only say: "He will be back soon."

"Have you been to the royal city? Pope, what happened to the Pope?"

Rhodes said vaguely: "I have been there, the situation is more complicated, I will explain to you later."

The divine light in Evra's eyes dimmed, but she didn't hesitate, and said anxiously: "Hurry up, gather everyone and keep up with the large army, the blood demon has already entangled us!"

Rhodes was startled: "Bloodfiend?"

"It is a member of the blood god of filth. Under the protection of the blood god, it is almost immortal and very difficult to deal with. The ghost that attacked Lord Maud is the phantom of the blood devil."

Rhodes immediately thought of the monster with no lower body, like smoke, and extremely long claws. Suddenly, he realized that the wounds on the soldiers who died in battle at the edge of the Kingdom of St. Rael were similar to its wounds. The shape fits perfectly.

He told Evra about this as quickly as possible.

Evra nodded immediately: "That's right, that's the blood demon. The land of St. Rael has been completely cursed by the filthy blood god. Even the soldiers on the edge of the kingdom have been attacked. They don't even know what happened in the kingdom. Something, just like Val and Lance."

After finishing speaking, she immediately summoned everyone, and using "Glaster", led Rhodes towards the large army.

With the blessing of the wind, the large team moves very fast. When Evra is in the team, her speed can still be on par with everyone else, but because there are too many people, it can't be improved much.

Soon, they were back in the peloton.

And Taxis has already returned to the team, the strong fire light, like a midday sun, Rhodes saw him at a glance.

He is with Moder, Percival and other high-level officials of St. Rael.

Just looking at their faces, Rhodes knew that he had told them the general situation.

What Rhodes didn't expect was that the moment he saw Rhodes, he almost flew over, and a bear hug tightly held him in his arms.

Hey, your pectoral muscles are too hard!
After Rhodes finally broke free, he heard Taxis saying in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, please take this part of the people out of St. Rael as soon as possible, and let the rest of them resign to their fate."

Rhodes frowned: "What did you say?"

Taxis said curtly, "We have no food."

Bocival said in a very sad voice: "Even with the blessing of the strong wind, it is impossible for us to relocate so many people. The people of Saint Rael, let them rest in this land..."

Behind him, there was a sound of crying.

Rhodes laughed.
