the last king of darkness
Chapter 701 Khalil’s dark plan
Unlike what Rhodes imagined, the Stone City underground base is not gloomy and dark. It uses rock as the main structure, allowing light sources to fill every corner, making it look neat, bright and atmospheric.
But after going deep into the base, its ferocious side was exposed.
Rhodes saw a huge pit and countless dungeons sunk in darkness.
Countless living monsters were imprisoned in it, and a faint black mist flowed inside, preventing the light of fire from shining into it.
The roars, roars, and crashes of monsters are heard one after another.
Meghan, the chief priest, said: "This is our dark dungeon, which houses a large number of monsters below the strong level. In order to ensure the activity of the monsters, we do not let the firelight illuminate this place."
Rhodes frowned. He and the high priest Megan stood on an overpass. Looking down, the dark pit was like the mouth of an abyss, as if it was about to swallow them up, which gave people a very bad feeling.
"How did you introduce the black mist?"
"The black mist spreads from underground. In order to ensure this, the dark dungeon was built in the deepest part of the base, very far away from the guardian fire of Stone City. At the same time, there is also a guardian fire in the base, but it is very weak. If there is When this happens, the on-duty personnel will immediately add phlogiston to the fire, and the enhanced firelight will disperse the meager black mist."
Rhodes asked again: "What should I do if the monster loses control?"
"We have a complete alert process and first-level combatants on the battlefield. These monsters cannot make waves."
Rhodes nodded slightly, but felt somewhat uneasy.
He knew that Kalil's secret army was mainly composed of the Black Spirit Bearers and the Unawakened Ones. The Unawakened Ones were twisted existences that merged the remains of humans and monsters into half humans and half monsters.
Once the monster loses the support of the dark soul, it will quickly collapse, which is the immeasurable black mist, and ultimately only a pile of ashes will be left.
Therefore, it is very difficult to bring back the remains of monsters from the battlefield.
They must feed the monster and fuse it with the human while the monster is still alive. Eventually, the monster's soul dissipates and the remaining remnant soul merges with the human soul.
The human soul takes its place and becomes the carrier of the monster's remains.
In other words, at this moment, the person he once was is no longer there, his soul has become a carrier of darkness, and the soul of darkness is a chaotic, crazy, and violent disordered soul. He will inevitably move towards madness and destruction. .
In the past, the unawakened were Trorian's standard cannon fodder.
Their only purpose on the battlefield is to die with the monsters. If not, they will soon become monsters.
It was so cruel that the new king banned it when he took office.
It was not until Archpriest Megan found a new balance and method of controlling the unawakened that they could exist in a relatively long-term and stable manner, and the king allowed Khalil's secret troops to return to the battlefield.
Among them, Rhodes also contributed.
It was his support at the critical moment that made Wang agree to the request of the chief priest Megan.
Therefore, Megan has always been very keen to pull him into her camp, so that Khalil's Inhuman Voice, Khalil's covert force, can gain greater support.
He always believed that the path of the fire bearer would eventually come to an end.
In the Age of Gods and the Age of Fire, countless strong men took this path to the extreme, but the final result was that black mist enveloped the earth, the sun, moon and stars lost their light, and the three realms were severely polluted.
This ironclad fact proves that fire cannot defeat darkness.
The only thing that can defeat darkness is darkness.
Therefore, humans must learn to use darkness just as they learn to use fire. The unawakened are the first step in this direction.
It is true that it is very imperfect and has many side effects, but everything is like this at the beginning. As long as you persist, it will definitely succeed, and humans will eventually become the masters of darkness.
This is the philosophy that Archbishop Megan has believed in throughout her life.
He embarked on this path after countless failures, and he firmly believed that only this path could save Trorian and save mankind.
The glory of Fire is only temporary, and Trorian should take advantage of this good opportunity to quickly develop Kalil's Inhuman Voice.
But unfortunately, his theory has basically no support, and he was even labeled as a doomsday cultist because it is similar to the theory of black mist harmlessness or the theory of new humanity that doomsday cultists have always claimed.
If Meghan, the chief priest, had not been highly respected in the royal city before, and the Internal Affairs Tribunal found no evidence of his cooperation with the doomsday cultists, plus the peaceful laws adopted by the new king since he took office, he would have been sentenced to death long ago.
Rhodes was the only Trollian executive to express his support.
If he was willing to take over his career, there would be no problem for the high priest Megan to commit suicide on the spot.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for Rhodes' strength to skyrocket. He overcame many obstacles in one step and became the first powerful king in Trolian other than the king.
This made the chief priest Meghan feel heartbroken.
With such great strength, Kalil's inhuman voice couldn't offer anything to impress him.
Fortunately, Rhodes' attitude towards him did not change, and he was even willing to support him in his disputes with Percival and Dalin, and gave Kalil tens of thousands of soul resources to support him.
What surprised him even more was that in the resurrection of Sun Knight, he was even willing to persuade Kai to hand over his body to Khalil.
It seems that Trorian's outburst did not affect his attitude towards Khalil.
This is also a doubt that Meghan can’t understand.
You must know that the reason for the existence of Kalil in the past was to make up for the lack of combat power in the royal city. They were just substitutes for the Fire Bearers.
It is difficult to explain Rod's attitude, and Meghan can only attribute it to his extraordinary vision and great wisdom.
If possible, he really hopes to support Rhodes to become the next king.
Of course, this is a follow-up.
Rhodes's status in Trolian is now extremely high. As long as he has his support, Kalil's Inhuman Voice will definitely develop rapidly. Megan believes that in a hundred or even a thousand years, Kalil will never be the same. would betray his trust.
But now, he wants to win Rhodes' trust as much as possible.
Megan could sense that although Rhodes chose to support him, he didn't seem to believe him very much.
Therefore, Megan took Rhodes to visit everything about Kalil with the utmost sincerity, and told everything about Kalil's inhuman voice without any concealment.
In this way, Rhodes finally saw Kalil's core laboratory - the Fusion Cage.
And witnessed the birth of an unawakened person.
This is a huge psychic instrument. Its appearance is entirely made of true silver. The sun stone is the base. The huge black crystal forms a special ritual. The twisted star ruby tubes are wrapped around the surface of the instrument like a large intestine. Countless Hundreds of Kalil researchers were distributed in their respective positions, nervously manipulating the psychic panels in front of them.
Along with a huge roar, black spiritual energy was injected from the left pipe, and white spiritual energy was injected from the right pipe, turning the entire world inside the instrument into black and white.
A monster was put in from below. This was a corrupted snake demon. It usually appeared near the breath of the abyss. It was a monster similar to the abyss monster. Its strength was not high, about the beginning of the vicious level.
For a monster of this level, if Rhodes releases his soul field, [Destruction of Darkness] can directly destroy it.
But the high-level combatant inside the instrument was not so relaxed. It took him a quarter of an hour to defeat it.
Chief Priest Megan explained: "This is to consume the monster's spiritual energy. During the fusion process, the monster must not have any spiritual energy, and its soul also needs to be weakened, otherwise it will devour the human soul."
After the corrupted snake demon fell, an ordinary person came in from the other side.
He was obviously very nervous, but he still took a big step, walked to the monster, and nodded to the senior combatant.
The high-level combatants shattered half of the body of the Corrupted Snake Demon with one blow, and then used several more delicate attacks to cut off one-third of this half.
Normally at this time, the monster would begin to evaporate, but at this moment, the black light in the instrument suddenly surged, filled with black spiritual energy.
Only monsters' psychic abilities are this color.
Although it did not belong to the corrupted snake demon, it temporarily delayed its evaporation.
The high-level combatants put away the other parts of the monster and quickly withdrew the instruments, while the man gritted his teeth and rushed towards the monster's remains, hugging it tightly into his arms.
Not only that, he was still biting its flesh and blood, swallowing it into his belly.
This horrific scene made Rhodes pale with horror, but the people around him were indifferent.
They had long been used to it. All the researchers were nervously manipulating the psychic panel in front of them. The black psychic energy in the instrument had drowned everything. Rhodes could only see a little bit of white light, connected to the person's body.
At this time, the monster's remaining body began to squirm violently, and its flesh and blood began to grow again, wrapping the ordinary human being.
A terrifying roar came from the instrument, making people's hair stand on end.
At this time, the high-level combatant came to Rhodes and the high priest. He saw Rhodes at a glance and shouted in surprise: "Sir Rhodes, why are you here?"
Rhodes glanced at him and saw that this person had a chance encounter with him. He was Kalil's shadow warrior named Amora, the Unawakened One of the Seven, who possessed the remains of the ancient demonic wolf.
He had saved his life in Star Ring Town with a new soul spell.
"Amora, are you okay? Is there any backlash in your soul?"
Amora looked extremely touched: "You actually remember my name, woo woo woo, Lord Rhodes actually remembers my name, I really can't believe it, Your Excellency the High Priest, you are so right, Lord Rhodes Care for each of us as God loves the world.”
In his hands, the monster's remains turned into fly ash, while the monster's remains inside the instrument were growing ferociously.
This strange sight shocked Rhodes and made him unwilling to ask any more questions.
Meghan, the chief priest, waved her hand: "Amora, go back and rest quickly. Lord Rhodes is here to inspect Khalil today. You still have a mission next, so don't perform abnormally."
Amora made a fist with one hand and hit her heart hard:
"Yes, I will definitely not let Lord Rhodes and the high priest down. Darkness is eternal, and humanity will win!"
After saying that, he turned and left, and a cleaning staff immediately cleaned up the ashes on the ground.
Megan said in a very small voice in Rhodes' ear: "Amora is a product of the old style. His soul has been severely damaged and corrupted deep into his core. His life is coming to an end. Soon, he will go to perform the final execution." Task."
Rhodes glanced at him in surprise: "Final mission?"
"Yes, it is a death mission. He will exhaust all his strength in a fatal battle and die in glory."
Rhodes was silent for a few seconds and said: "There should be no such battles in Trorian now."
"But there are still outside the Great Wall of Black Mist. According to the practice of the Military War Department, it is best to have a safe zone near the Great Wall of Black Mist. If there are monsters living near the Great Wall of Black Mist for a long time, its shielding effect will gradually fail, so it must Clear a safe area and patrol it regularly."
This time, Rhodes was silent for a long time. He didn't speak again until the ceremony was over and the fusion chamber was opened.
"You said it was the old style, but now everyone is using the new style?"
"Yes, there are new ones in use now, and there will be updated ones in the future. Kalil's development is endless. One day, we will control this inhuman power with human souls."
Rhodes didn't reply. He watched the brave man who had been fused with half of the monster's body being carried out by dozens of Kalil staff members wearing thick psychic protective equipment. A Kalil researcher kept blowing his mouth. As the potion was being fed into his body, the monster flesh and blood on his body was still squirming, but as the potion was poured in, the squirming gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
He fell into a deep coma, his face was distorted, and his expression was very painful. He was placed in the center of a psychic array by Kalil's staff. The black and white psychic crystal lit up again, and the black and white light once again enveloped him. .
Megan said: "This is the final fusion stage to ensure that his flesh and blood are completely integrated with the monster. After everything is completed, it only takes five to six days for him to have psychic powers equivalent to those of a mid-level combatant. After a series of special training, he will have combat power close to that of a high-level combatant. The specific extent will depend on the fusion situation and the stability of his soul."
Rhodes asked: "What about the subsequent promotion?"
"If he fully controls his current power and shows no signs of backlash or loss of control, then he can further improve, usually by accumulating monsters of the same type in his body and taking special potions made of monster flesh. , taking rotten substances to increase the resistance of the body and soul. Theoretically, as long as his soul can withstand it, he can be superimposed infinitely."
Rhodes frowned.
"But in this case, he will never be able to master the power of the source, and he will never be able to break through the barrier of the Herrscher." Megan showed a smile:
"Sir Rhodes, I think the black mist is the appearance of pure darkness in the material world. The unawakened control the power of darkness. There are still many secrets we don't know. In fact, many of us have already broken through the ten With fourth-level psychic powers, their actual combat power is no weaker than that of Herrscher."
Rhodes was silent for a few seconds and then asked: "Then why don't you use a powerful monster, such as a strong super-level monster, third level, fourth level, or even fifth level? Wangcheng has enough power to subdue them."
Megan shook her head slightly: "Sir Rhodes, the strength of the monster is not the key. The key is the monster's combat characteristics and whether it is conducive to human control. A suitable monster is far more useful than a powerful monster, and the latter also requires more resources. , and it is very unstable. The fusion of powerful monsters is always very difficult and risky. The new unawakened ones need to adapt for a period of time before they can increase their strength."
As he spoke, the psychic ritual in the distance had ended.
When the light fell, the man had regained consciousness.
Megan smiled and said: "Another unawakened person is born, let's go and see."
They came to the unawakened person. He seemed to be in a bad state of mind. The upper half of his body was occupied by the monster. The snake demon's slender tentacles were dragging behind him, and weird black lines covered his whole body.
Fortunately, his face is still normal.
"How is he doing?"
Meghan asked the researcher Kalil beside her. They were still busy nervously and the work was not completely finished yet.
One person replied: "Your Excellency the Chief Priest, his condition is not very good. The stability threshold of the soul is below 60. If it continues to decline, we will have to perform emergency rituals."
Chief Priest Megan frowned and continued to ask for more detailed values.
Rhodes' eyes noticed a nameplate next to the man, which read:
Joffrey, 30 years old, is one of the Three Unawakened Ones, a corrupted snake demon.
Rhodes knew that three of the unawakened ones were the proportion of monsters occupying the human body. Three represented [-]%, and the highest was nine.
Theoretically, the higher the value, the greater the potential, but too high a degree of erosion will make the state of the unawakened person extremely unstable. Once the soul loses control, the monster in the body will awaken, and they will completely go crazy.
This is why they are called "the unawakened".
Once they become "awakened", it means that they completely become monsters.
Usually before that, Khalil will send him a "final mission" to let him die in a decisive battle with the monster.
That is, a glorious death.
To be honest, Rhodes couldn't understand why they did this. Megan repeatedly assured him that all unawakened people were voluntary, without force or temptation, and they would explain all the consequences in advance, but they still couldn't stop him. With a large number of interviewees, they had to develop a strict screening mode.
This model plays a great role, not only reducing sacrifices, but also greatly improving the quality of the unawakened.
"Joffrey."
Rhodes tried to speak, calling his name.
The person in front of him opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Rhodes. His cloudy eyes were suddenly filled with light.
"Ah, it's Lord Rhodes. It's great to see you."
Rhodes didn't expect that he would recognize him directly, and asked quickly: "Are you willing?"
The light in Joffrey's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Of course, Lord Rhodes, I also dream of going to the battlefield and fighting monsters with you."
"Why don't you go to the Trial by Fire?"
Joffrey looked dim: "I failed. I failed five times. My soul is too wet to light the fire. I have passed my age and can no longer undergo the trial of fire. Only Kalil can save me." I."
"But didn't you know you would turn into a monster?"
"know."
"Why then?"
"Because I want to kill monsters like you."
Joffrey said softly.
"My father, my mother, my two brothers and one sister, and my children all died in the black tide two years ago, and my village was also destroyed."
"I love the village. I love everyone in the village, every corner, and every piece of land. My biggest wish since I was a child is to live forever under the light of fire with the people in the village, but they are all dead."
"I originally just wanted to be an excellent miner, just like my father, but after the destruction of the village, I had a new ideal, a new desire, a new dream, and it burned in my heart."
"I want to be a transcendent, a fighter."
"Even if you risk your life, even if you give up your body and blood, even if you have a bloody head, you still have to become one of them."
"I want to hunt monsters, I want to kill all the demons that bite people in the darkness, I want to kill all these harmful insects!"
At this moment, a researcher suddenly shouted:
"Your Excellency, the High Priest, his values, his values are changing, and the soul's stability threshold is skyrocketing, 60, 70, 80, my God, it's still rising!"
Everyone ran up to him and looked at the psychic crystal. It emitted a strange light and did not calm down until a long time ago.
"99!"
Researcher Kalil exclaimed.
"This is the most powerful soul resistance threshold I have seen this year. As long as he maintains this state, he will soon be able to continue to strengthen."
After the chief priest Meghan checked all the values, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Rhodes didn't pay attention. In front of him, the poor man had already fallen into a deep coma.
After a long time, he sighed and turned to leave.
Hopefully, he can realize his dream.
-
Afterwards, the high priest Megan took Rhodes to visit the area of the Black Spirit Bearer.
The Black Soul Bearer refers to the ability to acquire soul characteristics and control psychic energy by devouring soul characteristics.
The more soul traits he can swallow, the stronger his power will be, but he also faces the risk of rejection and backlash.
The soul trait blocks supported by Rhodes are basically used here.
The path of the Black Soul Bearer is more stable than that of the unawakened, and the technology is also very mature.
Kalil's current research direction is to try to condense more soul characteristics and quantify them, so as to control the source law and gain stronger power.
So far, they have made great breakthroughs. The Black Soul Bearer can temporarily possess the power of the source by taking special soul substances, but it cannot last long and has certain damage to the stability of the soul.
They are working on ways to minimize this side effect.
Megan proudly introduced to Rhodes the strongest Black Spirit Bearer among Kalil's secret troops.
A little fat guy named Wawa.
Although he looks unattractive, he controls an extremely precious soul trait - the soul trait of the Shadow Demon, which has extremely terrifying power, and as long as he takes a special shadow fragment potion, he will have huge explosive power.
However, Wawa seemed very timid and did not even dare to say hello to Rhodes.
"You, you, you are the great black and black rice bastard!"
One sentence reduced Rhodes' favorability to negative.
"It's me, maybe you can change my name."
Wawa whispered: "But I, I, I like the black and black rice bucket..."
Rhodes felt that he could not continue the conversation, so he left here after a few perfunctory words. The area of the Black Spirit Bearer was relatively peaceful.
Finally, Rhodes finally met Anne of Britannia at the western end of the base.
She was exactly the same as before, with shoulder-length blonde hair and even the freckles on her face.
But she looked a little sluggish, sitting listlessly in a huge iron throne.
When she saw Rhodes coming, she managed to cheer up: "Brother Rhodes, you are finally here. I am in a bit of a bad state right now, but you don't have to worry. I will recover soon and have more power." , although I heard them say that you have become very powerful, but I will soon surpass you, and one day, I will save this world."
After saying that, she closed her eyes, and the Iron Throne roared to life, and powerful spiritual energy was injected into her body from the throne.
Meghan, the officiant, said proudly.
"She is still my only dual-path holder, the Seven Unawakened Ones of the Dragon of Strength, and the Black Spirit Bearer of Light Energy. Her soul still maintains terrifying stability, but the speed of advancement has been slow. Come down."
"That's why I need the body of the Sun Knight. This corpse has unimaginable decay and curses, but it maintains balance under treatment. The rotten flesh is not only the perfect Herrscher's body, but also the terrifying power of the Sun Knight remains. The power, which has been accumulated for 20 years, is the super treatment I have dreamed of. As long as it is integrated into the body, Annie will definitely break through her limits and become the only King-level combat power in Kalil's history."
"You can never imagine that her current pure physical strength exceeds that of a king-level monster. When she takes another step forward, no monster can break through her defense, and her light energy aggregation will burst out with unimaginable power, just like Like your psychic cannon."
Rhodes took a deep breath and asked, "What help do you need?"
Meghan, the chief priest, showed a wild smile: "I want a pure star source potion."
At this moment, the Book of the Future suddenly shouted: "Master, Master, my inspiration was touched again, the sound of wind chimes swayed in my ears, and I saw a white shadow, ah, that is the dragon's bone, before you The dragon bones obtained will have a certain effect on you now."
Almost immediately, Rhodes understood what the Book of the Future foreshadowed.
"Okay, I understand. Besides, I have something for you."
He casually drew a dream ritual on the ground and teleported the dragon bone.
"This is the dragon's bone. It is very useful in strengthening Annie."
Megan opened her eyes wide and looked at the huge keel in front of her, speechless for a moment.
Rhodes said in a deep voice: "Make good use of it. I hope to see an Annie who can fight alongside me."
At this moment, Meghan just wanted to kneel at the feet of Rhodes and kiss his shoes and his thighs. He had never believed so for a moment that Khalil would rise and darkness would surrender under the feet of mankind.
After that, Megan almost told Rhodes everything else by kneeling and licking her.
Even Khalil's original source is no exception.
It is not the first of its kind in the royal city, but the research result discovered by the royal city in a distant ruins. It is called "Kalil's Dark Plan", which uses humans and monsters in the darkness to fuse to create super powerful creatures. The warrior's experiments were carried out in a distant and unknown era, and most of the results have been lost. The products of the failure turned into stronger monsters and disappeared in the black mist.
After the Great Fault in Trorian, the address of the ruins has been lost, and most of the relevant information has been lost. The entire plan has been lost in the long river of time, leaving not much information.
Megan told him that judging from the available information, the intensity of the dark plan far exceeded that of Khalil’s inhuman voice. The construction of the underground laboratory in Stone City was based on the discovery of some of the remaining information of the plan. That’s why it’s named “Voice of Man”.
If more clues to "Khalil's dark plan" can be found, his research will make a significant leap forward, and Kalil will control the darkness earlier, thereby controlling the black mist and achieving final victory.
Rhodes nodded and kept this matter in mind.
But in his heart, he didn't quite believe in Meghan's idea. It was only because of his trust in Hegeauer that he supported him in this way.
Hope I'm right.
But after going deep into the base, its ferocious side was exposed.
Rhodes saw a huge pit and countless dungeons sunk in darkness.
Countless living monsters were imprisoned in it, and a faint black mist flowed inside, preventing the light of fire from shining into it.
The roars, roars, and crashes of monsters are heard one after another.
Meghan, the chief priest, said: "This is our dark dungeon, which houses a large number of monsters below the strong level. In order to ensure the activity of the monsters, we do not let the firelight illuminate this place."

Rhodes asked again: "What should I do if the monster loses control?"
"We have a complete alert process and first-level combatants on the battlefield. These monsters cannot make waves."
Rhodes nodded slightly, but felt somewhat uneasy.

The high-level combatants put away the other parts of the monster and quickly withdrew the instruments, while the man gritted his teeth and rushed towards the monster's remains, hugging it tightly into his arms.
Not only that, he was still biting its flesh and blood, swallowing it into his belly.
This horrific scene made Rhodes pale with horror, but the people around him were indifferent.
They had long been used to it. All the researchers were nervously manipulating the psychic panel in front of them. The black psychic energy in the instrument had drowned everything. Rhodes could only see a little bit of white light, connected to the person's body.
At this time, the monster's remaining body began to squirm violently, and its flesh and blood began to grow again, wrapping the ordinary human being.
A terrifying roar came from the instrument, making people's hair stand on end.
At this time, the high-level combatant came to Rhodes and the high priest. He saw Rhodes at a glance and shouted in surprise: "Sir Rhodes, why are you here?"
Rhodes glanced at him and saw that this person had a chance encounter with him. He was Kalil's shadow warrior named Amora, the Unawakened One of the Seven, who possessed the remains of the ancient demonic wolf.
He had saved his life in Star Ring Town with a new soul spell.
"Amora, are you okay? Is there any backlash in your soul?"
Amora looked extremely touched: "You actually remember my name, woo woo woo, Lord Rhodes actually remembers my name, I really can't believe it, Your Excellency the High Priest, you are so right, Lord Rhodes Care for each of us as God loves the world.”
In his hands, the monster's remains turned into fly ash, while the monster's remains inside the instrument were growing ferociously.
This strange sight shocked Rhodes and made him unwilling to ask any more questions.
Meghan, the chief priest, waved her hand: "Amora, go back and rest quickly. Lord Rhodes is here to inspect Khalil today. You still have a mission next, so don't perform abnormally."
Amora made a fist with one hand and hit her heart hard:
"Yes, I will definitely not let Lord Rhodes and the high priest down. Darkness is eternal, and humanity will win!"
After saying that, he turned and left, and a cleaning staff immediately cleaned up the ashes on the ground.
Megan said in a very small voice in Rhodes' ear: "Amora is a product of the old style. His soul has been severely damaged and corrupted deep into his core. His life is coming to an end. Soon, he will go to perform the final execution." Task."
Rhodes glanced at him in surprise: "Final mission?"
"Yes, it is a death mission. He will exhaust all his strength in a fatal battle and die in glory."
Rhodes was silent for a few seconds and said: "There should be no such battles in Trorian now."
"But there are still outside the Great Wall of Black Mist. According to the practice of the Military War Department, it is best to have a safe zone near the Great Wall of Black Mist. If there are monsters living near the Great Wall of Black Mist for a long time, its shielding effect will gradually fail, so it must Clear a safe area and patrol it regularly."
This time, Rhodes was silent for a long time. He didn't speak again until the ceremony was over and the fusion chamber was opened.
"You said it was the old style, but now everyone is using the new style?"
"Yes, there are new ones in use now, and there will be updated ones in the future. Kalil's development is endless. One day, we will control this inhuman power with human souls."
Rhodes didn't reply. He watched the brave man who had been fused with half of the monster's body being carried out by dozens of Kalil staff members wearing thick psychic protective equipment. A Kalil researcher kept blowing his mouth. As the potion was being fed into his body, the monster flesh and blood on his body was still squirming, but as the potion was poured in, the squirming gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
He fell into a deep coma, his face was distorted, and his expression was very painful. He was placed in the center of a psychic array by Kalil's staff. The black and white psychic crystal lit up again, and the black and white light once again enveloped him. .
Megan said: "This is the final fusion stage to ensure that his flesh and blood are completely integrated with the monster. After everything is completed, it only takes five to six days for him to have psychic powers equivalent to those of a mid-level combatant. After a series of special training, he will have combat power close to that of a high-level combatant. The specific extent will depend on the fusion situation and the stability of his soul."
Rhodes asked: "What about the subsequent promotion?"
"If he fully controls his current power and shows no signs of backlash or loss of control, then he can further improve, usually by accumulating monsters of the same type in his body and taking special potions made of monster flesh. , taking rotten substances to increase the resistance of the body and soul. Theoretically, as long as his soul can withstand it, he can be superimposed infinitely."
Rhodes frowned.
"But in this case, he will never be able to master the power of the source, and he will never be able to break through the barrier of the Herrscher." Megan showed a smile:
"Sir Rhodes, I think the black mist is the appearance of pure darkness in the material world. The unawakened control the power of darkness. There are still many secrets we don't know. In fact, many of us have already broken through the ten With fourth-level psychic powers, their actual combat power is no weaker than that of Herrscher."
Rhodes was silent for a few seconds and then asked: "Then why don't you use a powerful monster, such as a strong super-level monster, third level, fourth level, or even fifth level? Wangcheng has enough power to subdue them."
Megan shook her head slightly: "Sir Rhodes, the strength of the monster is not the key. The key is the monster's combat characteristics and whether it is conducive to human control. A suitable monster is far more useful than a powerful monster, and the latter also requires more resources. , and it is very unstable. The fusion of powerful monsters is always very difficult and risky. The new unawakened ones need to adapt for a period of time before they can increase their strength."
As he spoke, the psychic ritual in the distance had ended.
When the light fell, the man had regained consciousness.
Megan smiled and said: "Another unawakened person is born, let's go and see."
They came to the unawakened person. He seemed to be in a bad state of mind. The upper half of his body was occupied by the monster. The snake demon's slender tentacles were dragging behind him, and weird black lines covered his whole body.
Fortunately, his face is still normal.
"How is he doing?"
Meghan asked the researcher Kalil beside her. They were still busy nervously and the work was not completely finished yet.
One person replied: "Your Excellency the Chief Priest, his condition is not very good. The stability threshold of the soul is below 60. If it continues to decline, we will have to perform emergency rituals."
Chief Priest Megan frowned and continued to ask for more detailed values.
Rhodes' eyes noticed a nameplate next to the man, which read:
Joffrey, 30 years old, is one of the Three Unawakened Ones, a corrupted snake demon.
Rhodes knew that three of the unawakened ones were the proportion of monsters occupying the human body. Three represented [-]%, and the highest was nine.
Theoretically, the higher the value, the greater the potential, but too high a degree of erosion will make the state of the unawakened person extremely unstable. Once the soul loses control, the monster in the body will awaken, and they will completely go crazy.
This is why they are called "the unawakened".
Once they become "awakened", it means that they completely become monsters.
Usually before that, Khalil will send him a "final mission" to let him die in a decisive battle with the monster.
That is, a glorious death.
To be honest, Rhodes couldn't understand why they did this. Megan repeatedly assured him that all unawakened people were voluntary, without force or temptation, and they would explain all the consequences in advance, but they still couldn't stop him. With a large number of interviewees, they had to develop a strict screening mode.
This model plays a great role, not only reducing sacrifices, but also greatly improving the quality of the unawakened.
"Joffrey."
Rhodes tried to speak, calling his name.
The person in front of him opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Rhodes. His cloudy eyes were suddenly filled with light.
"Ah, it's Lord Rhodes. It's great to see you."
Rhodes didn't expect that he would recognize him directly, and asked quickly: "Are you willing?"
The light in Joffrey's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Of course, Lord Rhodes, I also dream of going to the battlefield and fighting monsters with you."
"Why don't you go to the Trial by Fire?"
Joffrey looked dim: "I failed. I failed five times. My soul is too wet to light the fire. I have passed my age and can no longer undergo the trial of fire. Only Kalil can save me." I."
"But didn't you know you would turn into a monster?"
"know."
"Why then?"
"Because I want to kill monsters like you."
Joffrey said softly.
"My father, my mother, my two brothers and one sister, and my children all died in the black tide two years ago, and my village was also destroyed."
"I love the village. I love everyone in the village, every corner, and every piece of land. My biggest wish since I was a child is to live forever under the light of fire with the people in the village, but they are all dead."
"I originally just wanted to be an excellent miner, just like my father, but after the destruction of the village, I had a new ideal, a new desire, a new dream, and it burned in my heart."
"I want to be a transcendent, a fighter."
"Even if you risk your life, even if you give up your body and blood, even if you have a bloody head, you still have to become one of them."
"I want to hunt monsters, I want to kill all the demons that bite people in the darkness, I want to kill all these harmful insects!"
At this moment, a researcher suddenly shouted:
"Your Excellency, the High Priest, his values, his values are changing, and the soul's stability threshold is skyrocketing, 60, 70, 80, my God, it's still rising!"
Everyone ran up to him and looked at the psychic crystal. It emitted a strange light and did not calm down until a long time ago.
"99!"
Researcher Kalil exclaimed.
"This is the most powerful soul resistance threshold I have seen this year. As long as he maintains this state, he will soon be able to continue to strengthen."
After the chief priest Meghan checked all the values, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Rhodes didn't pay attention. In front of him, the poor man had already fallen into a deep coma.
After a long time, he sighed and turned to leave.
Hopefully, he can realize his dream.

Afterwards, the high priest Megan took Rhodes to visit the area of the Black Spirit Bearer.
The Black Soul Bearer refers to the ability to acquire soul characteristics and control psychic energy by devouring soul characteristics.
The more soul traits he can swallow, the stronger his power will be, but he also faces the risk of rejection and backlash.
The soul trait blocks supported by Rhodes are basically used here.
The path of the Black Soul Bearer is more stable than that of the unawakened, and the technology is also very mature.
Kalil's current research direction is to try to condense more soul characteristics and quantify them, so as to control the source law and gain stronger power.
So far, they have made great breakthroughs. The Black Soul Bearer can temporarily possess the power of the source by taking special soul substances, but it cannot last long and has certain damage to the stability of the soul.
They are working on ways to minimize this side effect.
Megan proudly introduced to Rhodes the strongest Black Spirit Bearer among Kalil's secret troops.
A little fat guy named Wawa.
Although he looks unattractive, he controls an extremely precious soul trait - the soul trait of the Shadow Demon, which has extremely terrifying power, and as long as he takes a special shadow fragment potion, he will have huge explosive power.
However, Wawa seemed very timid and did not even dare to say hello to Rhodes.
"You, you, you are the great black and black rice bastard!"
One sentence reduced Rhodes' favorability to negative.
"It's me, maybe you can change my name."
Wawa whispered: "But I, I, I like the black and black rice bucket..."
Rhodes felt that he could not continue the conversation, so he left here after a few perfunctory words. The area of the Black Spirit Bearer was relatively peaceful.
Finally, Rhodes finally met Anne of Britannia at the western end of the base.
She was exactly the same as before, with shoulder-length blonde hair and even the freckles on her face.
But she looked a little sluggish, sitting listlessly in a huge iron throne.
When she saw Rhodes coming, she managed to cheer up: "Brother Rhodes, you are finally here. I am in a bit of a bad state right now, but you don't have to worry. I will recover soon and have more power." , although I heard them say that you have become very powerful, but I will soon surpass you, and one day, I will save this world."
After saying that, she closed her eyes, and the Iron Throne roared to life, and powerful spiritual energy was injected into her body from the throne.
Meghan, the officiant, said proudly.
"She is still my only dual-path holder, the Seven Unawakened Ones of the Dragon of Strength, and the Black Spirit Bearer of Light Energy. Her soul still maintains terrifying stability, but the speed of advancement has been slow. Come down."
"That's why I need the body of the Sun Knight. This corpse has unimaginable decay and curses, but it maintains balance under treatment. The rotten flesh is not only the perfect Herrscher's body, but also the terrifying power of the Sun Knight remains. The power, which has been accumulated for 20 years, is the super treatment I have dreamed of. As long as it is integrated into the body, Annie will definitely break through her limits and become the only King-level combat power in Kalil's history."
"You can never imagine that her current pure physical strength exceeds that of a king-level monster. When she takes another step forward, no monster can break through her defense, and her light energy aggregation will burst out with unimaginable power, just like Like your psychic cannon."
Rhodes took a deep breath and asked, "What help do you need?"
Meghan, the chief priest, showed a wild smile: "I want a pure star source potion."
At this moment, the Book of the Future suddenly shouted: "Master, Master, my inspiration was touched again, the sound of wind chimes swayed in my ears, and I saw a white shadow, ah, that is the dragon's bone, before you The dragon bones obtained will have a certain effect on you now."
Almost immediately, Rhodes understood what the Book of the Future foreshadowed.
"Okay, I understand. Besides, I have something for you."
He casually drew a dream ritual on the ground and teleported the dragon bone.
"This is the dragon's bone. It is very useful in strengthening Annie."
Megan opened her eyes wide and looked at the huge keel in front of her, speechless for a moment.
Rhodes said in a deep voice: "Make good use of it. I hope to see an Annie who can fight alongside me."
At this moment, Meghan just wanted to kneel at the feet of Rhodes and kiss his shoes and his thighs. He had never believed so for a moment that Khalil would rise and darkness would surrender under the feet of mankind.
After that, Megan almost told Rhodes everything else by kneeling and licking her.
Even Khalil's original source is no exception.
It is not the first of its kind in the royal city, but the research result discovered by the royal city in a distant ruins. It is called "Kalil's Dark Plan", which uses humans and monsters in the darkness to fuse to create super powerful creatures. The warrior's experiments were carried out in a distant and unknown era, and most of the results have been lost. The products of the failure turned into stronger monsters and disappeared in the black mist.
After the Great Fault in Trorian, the address of the ruins has been lost, and most of the relevant information has been lost. The entire plan has been lost in the long river of time, leaving not much information.
Megan told him that judging from the available information, the intensity of the dark plan far exceeded that of Khalil’s inhuman voice. The construction of the underground laboratory in Stone City was based on the discovery of some of the remaining information of the plan. That’s why it’s named “Voice of Man”.
If more clues to "Khalil's dark plan" can be found, his research will make a significant leap forward, and Kalil will control the darkness earlier, thereby controlling the black mist and achieving final victory.
Rhodes nodded and kept this matter in mind.
But in his heart, he didn't quite believe in Meghan's idea. It was only because of his trust in Hegeauer that he supported him in this way.
Hope I'm right.
