the last king of darkness

Chapter 694 Cyclonus
The golden light covered Rhodes' eyes and lasted for at least 20 seconds before gradually fading away.

775 divinity points!
At this moment, Rhodes' joy could no longer be suppressed.

In the past, when he wanted to get so many divinities, he only had to go through key events like the Battle of Starry Sky City or the Battle of Saint Rey. He usually did this at 10:20, and he was so exhausted that he didn't even have one or two hundred points.

And now, in this short period of time, he has almost achieved nearly a thousand points of divinity.

From this point of view, the 2500 points of divinity required to ignite the giant star are not a big problem.

The demand for sources has been met, and 13 copies of strong sources are enough to be upgraded to fundamental sources.

The only thing that I still have no clue about is the [God’s Soul].

We have to find a way to find clues about demigods or evil beings.

Rhodes thought.

Of course, the current main task is still divinity.

Due to the huge consumption during this period, his divinity has dropped to a very low level. Including the 775 points he just gained, it does not exceed 1000.
The future is bright, but the road is long.

it is good!
Rhodes clenched his fists.

From now on, I will crush everything that hinders the revival of mankind as quickly as possible.

-

After briefly bidding farewell to the soldiers, Rhodes took the Black War Group and rushed to the next location.

He originally didn't want to take anyone with him, but after seeing Annabei's speed, he changed his mind.

This girl has also made great progress during this period. With a far greater supply of resources than before, she has finally reached the level of a second-level combatant, and has upgraded her soul characteristic "Magic Liberation" to the ninth level. Touched the tail edge of her sisters.

The ninth-level characteristics are close to the law of origin. As long as she reaches perfection in cultivation, she can begin to quantify them.

The men and horses at this stage have also been greatly strengthened.

Its size was at least twice as big, and its whole body was covered with pure purple psychic armor. When the horse's hooves were lifted, it was like a purple lightning bolt, and its speed was actually a little faster than the powerful king Rhodes.

It can only be said that Annabelle, Queen of Centaurs, is the only one in the entire Trorian who can surpass the powerful king with the speed of a second-level combatant.

The only flaw is that it cannot fly for a long time. This is a psychic skill that can only be mastered by first-level combatants.

But there are no rugged mountain roads on the way to the next area, so Rhodes riding her to fight not only did not reduce the efficiency, but also improved it.

Moreover, the Black Battle Group is all his apostles. When they fight, it is equivalent to Rhodes fighting. Although their strength is far from Rhodes, they can still play a certain role.

Now that Rhodes is in urgent need of divinity, it would be nice to get a little more.

Along the way, Annabeth chattered to him about her experiences during this period, how they assisted the special combatants in killing king-level monsters and cleaning up regional threats. She especially praised Mavis, Cassian and Frank, saying Their role was very great. With their assistance, many monsters died tragically on the spot.

Rhodes smiled and nodded, fully recognizing Annabeth's words. Their effects were completely reflected in the divinity, and he had already received a lot.

After talking for a long time, Annabeth asked about Rhode's experience again, especially Saint Rey's. That experience was rumored to be so miraculous that they had experienced countless versions. They wanted to hear the most original and true one.

Rhodes felt sad and recounted this terrifying, thrilling and cruel experience in the shortest possible language.

After hearing that so many powerful kings died in battle, and even the legendary true king fell under attack from multiple parties, everyone's faces were filled with shock.

Kashan couldn't help but ask: "If this is the case, doesn't it mean that we have no possibility of victory? Even if the king completes his promotion, our strength is still far behind Saint Rey."

"wrong."

Rhodes said solemnly: "Although we are not as strong as Saint Rey, we also have our advantages. First, we have known the coming crisis in advance and know where the crisis comes from, but Saint Rey does not know. Second, we Strictly guard against doomsday cultists and ancient evil thoughts, and will not be disturbed by them. Thirdly, the key to the fall of Saint Rey is that something went wrong with their pope. When he was fighting against the pollution of the starry sky, the foul blood god broke through the seal and was attacked again. The doomsday cultists’ frame-up and three-front war led to his final fall, and we will not make such a mistake.”

Cassian and Annabeth opened their eyes wide, and there were smiles on their faces: "Is that so? That's great."

Frank pushed up the glasses on his face and added: "Sir Rhodes, I think we still have a factor for victory. After Saint Rey came back, I studied their combat system and found that they extremely worship personal power. Coordinated operations are extremely poor, and the strong ones don’t even have helpers around them. This is one of the reasons why their Pope fell. But we are different. We will twist everyone’s strength into one rope, make up for the shortcomings, and Create an advantage, so the Filthy Blood God will definitely hit a wall here."

Rhodes glanced at him in surprise, but he didn't expect Frank's brain to be very useful.

"By the way, Frank, what is the limit of your transformation ability now?"

Frank pushed up his glasses and replied: "You can change the properties of living things, especially plants. This is something I couldn't do before."

"plant?"

"Yes, I can infuse plants with spirituality and turn them into traps or defensive structures."

Annabeth said excitedly: "Yes, Frank is amazing. He turned pea sprouts into pea cannons. The pea cannons fired can kill ferocious monsters. He also turned sweet potatoes into slingshots and willow trees into slingshots." He has a violent whipping machine that turns mushrooms and potatoes into bombs, which is so powerful."

Kashan also said: "The most important thing is that those plants can still grow, divide, reproduce, become more and more, and become stronger and stronger."

Frank scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "The power is still very weak, and the growth is too slow. We also need to provide nutrients and special spiritual soil, otherwise they will wither. Misha said that there are too many shortcomings and they cannot form effective combat effectiveness." , still needs improvement.”

At this time, Mavis rarely spoke: "Maybe you can ask Rhodes. Your combat system is very special and may be useful."

Annabeth smiled and said, "Yeah, it's the first time I've seen Sister Mavis freeze sweet potatoes and throw them out. A large piece of it was frozen at once... Of course, Rhodes is now a powerful king, so he may not be able to see such power. let's go."

She turned her head, only to see Rhodes's eyes widened with shock on his face.

"Frank, please tell me about your modified plants in detail."

Seeing Rhode's serious tone, Frank explained his characteristics in detail, especially about the changed plants.

After listening to this, Rhodes was [-]% sure that Frank was definitely "a human being"!
His characteristics are simply unbelievable. He is not even close to the Herrscher. He can drastically change the properties of matter, from inorganic matter to organic matter, from non-living matter to animate matter. The plant warriors he transformed are not only cheap, but also complete. Preserved characteristics of life that can both reproduce and grow.

The nutrients and soil needed are nothing more than soul residue and monster ashes.

This is not a problem at all for Rhodes.

If these plant warriors can reproduce indefinitely and turn into a powerful plant empire, then do we still have to worry about monsters?

Even if the Blood God comes, he will be submerged in it.

Of course, the strength of current plants is a bit low, and they can only deal with fierce-level monsters. Strong-level monsters will be destroyed as soon as they arrive, let alone king-level monsters. They are also extremely afraid of pollution and must survive under the light of fire to deal with those seriously polluted. Monsters are also difficult.

Improvements and upgrades are also needed.

Rhodes thought.

Frank's traits aren't strong enough.

If he masters the source or a strong source, and I provide enough soul residue and monster ashes, the scene will be unbelievable.

Rhodes made up his mind in an instant. After returning to the Royal City, he immediately asked the Holy Church and Percival to list Frank as a key target for comprehensive inspection and training.

Frank has long been his complete apostle, and the stronger he becomes in the future, the stronger he will be.

With his mind determined, Rhodes stopped thinking and rushed towards Ghost Cliff with all his strength.

Ghost Cliff is an extremely dangerous area east of Trolian, full of all kinds of ghosts and undead. They are different from ordinary monsters. They act strangely, change hard to prevent, and carry powerful curses. , very difficult to deal with.

The most troublesome thing is that when the strength of these ghosts reaches a certain level, they are extremely difficult to kill. Once injured, they will run away. The more they pursue, the deeper they will be pursued. In the end, the warrior will be besieged by more than a hundred times the number of ghosts. This is a special battle. The personnel were also overwhelmed.

This is why Ghost Cliff has become a stubborn obstacle to Trorian's expansion and victory.

But after Rhodes came, all these difficulties were solved instantly.

The explosive power of the powerful king is difficult for monsters below the king level to withstand. The complete [Star Shuttle] allows Rhodes to condense a powerful "Star Shuttle Cannon". No matter how powerful the ghost is, there is no possibility of escaping.

And the super perception given to him by [Sense of God] will allow him to accurately understand the location of all ghosts and spirits.

Rhodes didn't even wait for the cooling time of the portal and rode Annabey directly to the Ghost Cliff.

The battle at Bone Mountain just now did not have any impact on him, and a [Super Star Flash] did not use up much spiritual energy. As a powerful king, his explosive power and endurance are no longer what they used to be.

Countless ghosts roared over, and in an instant they were beaten to pieces by the even louder "Star Shuttle Cannon".

Rhodes fired continuously with his fingers, and the terrifying "Star Shuttle Cannon" struck like a violent storm, and the ghosts screamed and hissed one after another.

At the same time, he fired countless star shuttles from all over his body, beating the ghosts who escaped the "star shuttle cannon" with holes.

This terrifying combat power shocked everyone. The special combatant guarding the place, the Red Queen, sighed: "This is simply a natural disaster, but this time, it is not a natural disaster for humans, but a natural disaster for monsters!"

This sentence was recognized by countless warriors. For a time, the title "Monster Calamity" spread like wildfire. When Rhodes heard this, he immediately had a great impression of the Red Queen. He secretly thought that if he takes power in the future, he must give her a favor. The Red Queen has more resources and more beautiful men.

Of course, this is a matter for the future. For now, Rhodes still focuses on fighting.

He released the power of the powerful king to his heart's content, and the spiritual energy in his body seemed to be endless. No matter how much he used it, he did not feel it was getting less, and his soul was still full and moist.

Soon, Rhodes knew the reason. It turned out to be the function of "strong spiritual energy". Not only was it more powerful than weak spiritual energy, it was also consumed more slowly than weak spiritual energy. Taken together, its efficiency was higher than that of no source. The weak psychic energy supported is more than ten times stronger.

In other words, Rhodes' total spiritual energy has increased dozens of times compared to before!
Until now, Rhodes didn't know why king-level warriors rarely lacked spiritual power. Their ability to fight for a long time was much stronger than Herrschers and Transcendents.

I finally became durable!

Rhodes couldn't help laughing wildly.

He is no longer a man who turns off the engine in three seconds!

With the current consumption, I can shoot all day long without stopping!

Hahaha, I am already invincible!

While laughing wildly, Rhodes furiously killed ghost spirits, from the front of the Ghost Cliff to the back of the Ghost Cliff without blinking an eye.

And his Black War Group also played a big role in the battle. Kashan dexterously shuttled through the battlefield, constantly harvesting injured ghosts with ordinary punches.Mavis used a large area of ​​ice to slow down the ghosts and try to keep them together.

Frank, on the other hand, constantly changes the nature of the land to prevent ghosts from penetrating underground.

Coupled with the fact that the Red Queen led the soldiers to finish up the damage crazily from behind, with this pass, the Ghost Cliff was completely cleaned up in less than a day.

Since the entire obstacle was directly and completely broken, the divinity was directly transferred to the account.

Break through the ghost cliff, divinity +95
Not bad.

Rhodes' eyes were filled with joy, and he spent the night with the soldiers non-stop. After getting the Flower of Humanity that he deserved, he immediately started digging again.

There are many ruins here at Ghost Cliff, and the "Celestial Sphere Bell" senses them crazily. Since this area has gone through a psychic craze, the ground has been solidified by psychic energy, and the excavation process is very difficult.

But for Rhodes, it's not a problem. The absolute psychic power of 146 million, if strengthened casually, can exceed 300 million.

He directly used stardust to condense two pieces of starry gauntlets, and inserted one palm into them, which was more than ten yards deep.

In just a few dozen seconds, a huge hole of several thousand yards can be dug.

No relic can escape his induction.

The same is true for the seals in the ruins. The "Hell Spirit" can perfectly detect any abnormal barriers and ensure that Rhodes gets every resource.

There is no doubt that these resources will be transformed into his divinity.

This extremely rich harvest made Rhodes smile so hard that his mouth twisted.

Halfway through the excavation process, Rhodes clearly felt that the effect of the "Qi of Destiny" was fading.

Soon, it disappeared from the soul without a trace.

At this moment, Rhodes felt a strong sense of confusion, as if the bright and transparent world had become gray again, and fog and unknown were once again shrouded in his destiny.

Without any hesitation, Rhodes immediately used another "Qi of Destiny".

The moment it sinks into the soul, the bright feeling returns.

"This thing is indispensable."

Rhodes thought.

"All the good luck during this period was brought by it. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to be so successful. The giants really hide good things. No wonder they are so hungry for the power of destiny."

However, everything about the giant is still a mystery.

The mystery of the ancestor of the giants, the battle of the giant king's court, and the final whereabouts of the giant king Omer have not been solved.

"It seems that I still have to find time to return to the royal city."

The Book of Knowledge has said that the scholars in the royal city know these questions better than it does. If you find them and study them, you may be able to get the answers.

Rhodes wrote it down. It was important, but not now.

He only wants to do two things now.

Kill monsters and dig up ruins.

After digging out the remains of Ghost Cliff, Rhodes rushed towards the next area without stopping.

The portal is ready for use at this time. When the light of the holy fire illuminates everything, all difficulties and obstacles will be eliminated.

No monster can cause trouble for the powerful king illuminated by the holy fire.

In this way, Rhodes ran from area to area.

His arrival was like the sun after a heavy rain, driving away all the dark clouds. The soldiers were bathed in the sunshine, and every smiling face was clear.

The cheers extended from the east to the west of the Trorian Kingdom. Every land had legends about Rhodes.

Humanity has never had so much hope at this moment.

The war of expansion is advancing at an unimaginable speed. The pressure in various places has dropped sharply. The speed of advancement has been rapid. All pressure has come to the logistics personnel, production personnel and construction personnel.

The Military War Department and the Palace of Fire no longer have to be stretched thin and have to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall. Dalin laughed so hard that his eggs almost burst, and the disputes and conflicts with Percival also disappeared.

A large number of long-awaited combatants returned to the royal city and were inspected by Percival. A large number of combatants who were recognized as "geniuses", "super geniuses" and "platinum sons" were able to start training and take pure star source potions according to strict procedures.

Percival was very busy every day. He was extremely shocked by the amount of Trolian's genius. It could be measured with sand. Any inspection would indicate that he was at least a genius.

Trolian's lack of resources was even more serious than he imagined, almost to a jaw-dropping level.

Even if the "new star genius" is given the most attention, the resource supply is far from enough.

In this way, the pure star source potion becomes even more precious.

After all, it is a super elixir that can make up for all past losses.

Percival was refining crazily every day, but the quantity was still far from enough.

At the same time, he was also responsible for the True King Ceremony, so he was very busy.

The most troublesome thing is that Trolian currently has no one who can help him, let alone replace him.

Percival had to do everything himself, and he even had to find time to smelt star marrow, take care of Horus' soul-melting ritual, and so on.

Originally, all this would continue like this, until one day, Rhodes' spiritual energy finally ran out.

Under such crazy use, his soul finally issued a warning, and bursts of depleted tearing sensations appeared in his mind, indicating that his soul was close to its limit.

Rhodes breathed a long sigh of relief and returned to the royal city with the Black Legion who were so exhausted that they were about to vomit blood.

Although Rhodes can use [Great Spiritual Tide] to restore spiritual energy, it will consume 100 points of divinity, and their spirits are also extremely exhausted and they may not be able to withstand it.

It's time to fix it up.

The moment they returned to the royal city, Annabeth fell asleep, while Cassan felt better and reluctantly returned to the bed at the station.

Mavis was picked up by Rhodes himself, although she was not very tired.

The most pitiful person was Frank. He fell in the middle of the road and slept for half an hour before he was dragged to Percival by Rod.

Percival now has an exclusive large-scale alchemy workshop, which is full of the most advanced alchemical instruments provided by the Industrial Machinery Research Institute, as well as the best alchemy apprentices, but he is still very dissatisfied and keeps researching the industrial machinery. He put pressure on them to provide higher-end, better-used instruments that better suited his needs.

And these apprentices are only qualified to watch from the sidelines, and they are not even allowed to touch things.

When Rhodes came to the workshop, Percival was preparing pure star source potion.

I saw that he used a special curved glass to extract a small amount of pure star source from the stone jar containing pure star source. The starlight it condensed was like a dream.

At least fifty apprentices stood in a square behind him, watching his every step.

Percival stored this star source in a huge glass vessel, wrapped it with powerful spiritual energy, and then added soul crystal, sun stone powder, star marrow powder, cyan bone marrow ash, and poison to the glass vessel. Viola juice, the holy white tree fruit solution, after stirring it evenly, a huge psychic flame will rise and it will start to boil.

This process needs to last for three hours, during which Percival will slowly unpack the star source, allowing the star source to penetrate evenly into the potion, and be absorbed by the active ingredients, and finally create a pure star source potion.

The grasp of this is very critical. Pure star source is extremely precious. To maximize absorption, there must be no waste.

But within the first quarter of an hour of boiling, Percival had time and leisure.

The moment he saw Rhodes, his serious and rigid expression immediately melted away, and his wrinkled old face immediately burst into laughter.

"Sir Rhodes, congratulations on your promotion to a powerful king. Your power has surpassed mine. I was indeed right."

Rhodes smiled and briefly stated his purpose.

After listening, Percival's eyes immediately locked on Frank, and his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate his soul, making him quite uncomfortable.

"Well, restless souls, excellent spiritual veins, and harmonious soul ripples are 'common' talents. The characteristics are very weird, the waveforms are twisted, and they reveal incomprehensible power."

Percival looked around Frank.

"Yes, yes, I have thought of a way of practice that is suitable for you. Well, with Lord Rhodes' recommendation, a pure star source potion has been reserved for you, but not now. You need a lot of preparations to completely digest the pure star source. The power of the potion must not be wasted at all. Go back and have a good rest. I will take time to see you specifically and ensure that you become a Herrscher in a very short time."

He paused, patted Frank on the shoulder, and smiled.

"I hope your plant empire can bring me a surprise in the future."

Frank said with joy and fear at the same time: "I understand, thank you, Lord Percival, I, I will go back right away."

Rhodes was about to say goodbye, but suddenly he saw the golden light flashing in the Star Square.

There is divinity here!
Rhodes immediately gave up the idea and tentatively asked Percival if he had any difficulties recently.

This question immediately touched Percival's heartstrings, and he began to pour out his bitterness and talk about all his current difficulties.

Rhodes felt dizzy after hearing this, but he still keenly noticed one point.

"Are you saying that due to the lack of moon stones and star stones, the efficiency of producing pure star source potions has been greatly reduced?"

Percival replied: "Yes, but these two materials are special materials that can only be produced in the Age of Fire. The Moon Stone is made of spiritual ore that receives moonlight on a moonlit night. The Star Stone is similar, but in the Dark Age. , we no longer have the equipment to produce it...ahhhhh!"

His eyes were fixed on the pile of moon stones and star stones that Rhodes took out.
