the last king of darkness

The elements of [Destruction Ball] are ready.

The only thing you need to prepare is 2 copies of the root source.

Rhodes came to the obelisk.

The dream uses its miraculous ability to store the source law in the tablet. At this time, the source law neither belongs to the original soul nor the dream, nor does it belong to the invisible and qualityless sea of ​​sources. It is in a state of infinity. The state between quantification and quantification.

They have only one function, and that is to rekindle the long-dead characteristics of the dream stars in a special way and become the elements that ignite the stars.

And now, what Rhodes has to do is to use another miraculous ability of Dreamland - source upgrading, to upgrade these special source laws to fundamental sources.

The Book of Knowledge said: "Master, these two source upgrades require 8 copies of Colorful Dream and 12 copies of Colorful Dream respectively, for a total of 20 copies."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Why so many?"

"Master, this is based on the specific source upgrade of the obelisk. Every time it is used, some irresistible waste will be accumulated, so the probability of completion is getting lower and lower, and more and more colorful dreams are needed, eventually tending to infinity. The number of times it can be used is fixed every thousand years, and after it is used up, you can only use regular sources to upgrade it."

Rhodes was a little disappointed. Sure enough, a big advantage can't be taken for a long time, and he still couldn't escape the 25 source upgrades at a time.

But he didn't pay too much attention.

As long as you can become stronger, it is not difficult for Dreamland to plunder the source.

Rhodes turned around and came to the factory of dreams.

After this period of accumulation, he already had 2012 copies of nightmare fuel, enough to transform into 26 copies of colorful dreams.

After completing the refining in the heart-like furnace, the blue girl above the dream factory bowed deeply, seeming to express her appreciation for him refining so much nightmare fuel at once.

Rhodes glanced at it and muttered: "It's quite interesting for a pattern to be so realistic."

Put 20 copies of Colorful Dream and 20 copies of Powerful Source into the obelisk, and under a burst of strange ripples, 2 copies of the fundamental source exuding infinite power were born.

The cost of obtaining it is still a bit high. Now the obelisk only has 11 powerful sources, 119 sources, 7 colorful dreams and 62 nightmare fuel left.

"I'm still not strong enough, otherwise I wouldn't feel the pain of all this consumption."

Rhodes thought to himself and quickly refined 300 soul firewood.

There are only 409 divinities left.

Rhodes took out the Pope's soul again. The former king of Saint Rey had given everything he had.

Now, it's time to use his soul as firewood.

Rhodes had no sense of time and quickly entered the Soul Wilderness.

Come to the ashes of the [Destruction Ball] and put in the Pope's soul, 2 copies of the root source, and 300 copies of soul firewood in sequence.

Finally, add 300 soul flowers, which is the most painless consumption for Rhodes now.

The pale fire appeared on the ashes, like the belly of a dead fish. Under the influence of some invisible force, the white fire slowly intertwined and rose, like phosphorus fire in the wilderness.

At this moment, the Book of Knowledge suddenly shouted: "Master, Master! I feel it, I feel it, the source material of [The Ball of Destruction] is the energy of destiny!"

Rhodes was shocked: "The Qi of Destiny? Is it the source of matter?"

"No, it is an intermediate form between the source and the source matter, but both have the power of laws and rules. The [Destruction Ball] only needs a piece of destiny energy. If you throw it in, it can be ignited in the process. Medium completion is quantified.”

There are still two pieces of destiny energy in the obelisk. Under the heart-wrenching gaze of the Book of the Future, Rhodes pulled out one piece of destiny energy and threw it into the white fire.

The next moment, transparent ripples unfolded, quantification had begun, the space vibrated slightly, and the breath of the Sea of ​​Source emerged in the wasteland of souls.

With Rhodes' current soul strength, quantification can be completed almost instantly.

Boiling white fire rose into the sky, and pure white words emerged from the white fire.

【Ball of Destruction】

[Status: Origin]

【Position: Above the Spirit World】

[Star Energy: Killing Cannon]

[Strength: 2 million]

【Source: 100】

[Description: The most difficult stage in life is not that no one understands you, but that you don’t understand yourself. Let’s shoot at your soul. 】

-

[Destruction Cannon]: Shoots invisible killing ripples, destroying all spherical objects with round characteristics.

-

Rhodes opened his eyes wide. This was the strangest star he had ever seen.

The meaning of the sentence "Destroy all spherical objects with round characteristics" is very clear and very domineering - as long as it is a round ball, it can be destroyed.

The feeling fed back to him by the stars was that the level of this kind of destruction was very high. Unless the power gap between the two sides was so great that it was unimaginable, it would all be within the scope of instant destruction.

But are there spherical monsters?
Rhodes searched his memory and found that there were many shapes of monsters, but none were truly spherical.

So this is not a waste star?

It looks powerful, but is actually useless.

Rhodes was slightly disappointed.

But fortunately, it is a giant star after all, and it can provide 100 source energy for dreams.

Of course, these 100 sources of energy belong to dreams and are not imprinted in his soul. Only after awakening can they provide him with 1 source of strength.

"Forget it, we finally have a quantified giant star. As long as it can be awakened, it can theoretically have a strength of 10 billion, which is not a small amount."

"Book, is it difficult to wake up?"

After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the Book of Knowledge. When Rhodes returned to the dreamland, he saw that this guy had his book gapped open, as if he was demented.

"What's wrong? Is it very difficult, extremely difficult to wake up?"

The Book of Knowledge woke up with a start and stammered: "No, no, Master, I have never seen such a simple awakening. It is a completely pleasant experience for you, without any difficulty."

Rhodes was surprised and delighted: "Really? Isn't this a good thing? Then why are you so dazed?"

The Book of Knowledge whispers, "That's why there's trouble."

Rhodes was stunned and immediately realized that the process of igniting, quantifying and awakening this star was so simple, which was obviously not in line with common sense.

The Book of Knowledge once told him a law. When a soul star goes from an extinguished state to a complete body, it will inevitably have corresponding difficulties. If one process is simple, other processes will be difficult.

[Ball of Destruction] It is impossible for all processes to be simple, there must be a difficulty.

Rhodes remembered that when he awakened the [Sacrifice], in addition to 100 points of divinity, he also provided three copies of the deified source material. At the time, he didn't think much of it, but now that he thinks about it, it is still very expensive.

Then, the key difficulty of [Destruction Ball] must be the cost of awakening the star soul.

"Book, what's the price?"

"Divinity, lots of divinity."

Rhode's heart sank.

Sure enough, waking up a giant star is not that simple.

But this did not deal a blow to him, but instead aroused his fighting spirit even more.

Hey.

Isn’t it divinity?

With my unparalleled strength and unrivaled wisdom, I will surely drag Trorian towards an extremely glorious future.

At that point, will divinity still be a problem?

Humph.

Rhodes showed an evil smile.

I will eventually become the true king, in every sense of the word.

No difficulty can stop me!

I want this human race to prosper, I want this fire to stay bright, I want all these monsters to die violently, and I want this black mist to completely dissipate.

I want young ladies to wear black stockings and dance without any worries.

This is the vision of me, the great True King Lot.

-

-

Among all the current possibilities for obtaining divinity, Rhodes believes that the most important one is the promotion of Horus.Rhodes couldn't even imagine how much divinity this process could create by lifting a useless person who was not even a Herrscher into a true king in one breath.

Although there were some other factors, such as the remnant soul of the Holy King, they only had a negligible impact. The real main factor was him.

Without me, would this old boy Horus be where he is today?

Hahaha!
In order to ensure the smooth promotion of Horus, Rhodes gave Percival twice as much soul material and asked him to prepare the True King Ceremony to the best possible extent at all costs.

Percival was both moved and shocked by this: "Sir Rhodes, you are so concerned about the Archbishop's safety, you must have a special relationship with him, right?"

"Bah, you have a special relationship with him."

Percival scratched his head: "How do you know? Although I have not known the Archbishop for a long time, we have similar interests and thoughts, and have established a deep bond... However, the materials for the True King Ceremony are completely sufficient, so Stacking materials is actually not cost-effective, and the improvement to Horus is very small, so it is better to use it on the Great Holy White Tree, Forbidden Arms and Kalil."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Don't worry, they only have more soul material, not less. Feel free to use it. It is related to the third true king of Trolian. Everything must be done to the extreme. Horus... This promotion must be successful.”

Percival was moved and said: "As expected of you, you care about Trolian and all mankind. Your character and pattern have reached an unimaginable height."

Rhodes smiled happily, finally meeting a person with sharp eyes and seeing through his true nature at a glance.

"Yes, you are right. Go quickly. The progress of expansion cannot be slowed down for such a long time. Without me and Horus, they can only advance 100 yards a day. It is really too weak."

Percival hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Excellency Rhodes, in fact, the reduction of the main army's advancement speed is not due to combat effectiveness, but because of the request of Your Excellency Dalin."

Rhodes asked in surprise, "Why?"

"The forward troops have now advanced to a position more than 2000 yards from the edge of Trorian. The overly long supply line has made logistical transportation extremely difficult. Many tasks such as purifying the surface, establishing strongholds, exploring supplies, and building roads are faced with supplies. The problem of insufficiency is that if an effective stronghold cannot be established, the land cannot be brought under human control, and there is no point in just advancing without occupying it.”

Rhodes frowned slightly.

If there was just a shortage of combat supplies, he would just go there.

But occupation is a continuous consumption, and the production and construction of such a large area requires a huge amount of materials.

It is impossible for him to dedicate himself to transportation.

But Rhodes remembered that when discussing the issue of transportation capacity, the Book of the Future once said that he could easily solve this problem. He thought he was using dreams as logistics.

Now it seems that this is obviously not the reason.

Thinking of this, Rhodes directly asked the Book of the Future: "How to solve this problem? Can you predict it?"

The Book of the Future turns the pages with joy. Every prediction will further digest the energy of destiny, which it cannot do while sleeping. More importantly, it can help dreams and improve its status in the heart of its master. It is simply a hundred A good thing that does no harm.

Soon, the peek of fate was completed, the Book of the Future said excitedly.

"Master, this is very simple for you. You only need to go to a location called the Industrial Machinery Research Institute."

It's that simple?
Rhodes was slightly confused and quickly came to the Industrial Machinery Research Institute and met the bald master.

As soon as Rhodes asked this question, the bald master immediately complained:
"Sir Rhodes, this is not our problem. The energy cores of all psychic machines and psychic constructs have all experienced strange losses. The psychic energy is constantly being lost and charging is slow. We have tried our best, but we can't find it. After hearing the reason, Lord Lucien, the chief judge, almost demolished the factory, but the suspected doomsday cultists were not caught."

Rhodes frowned slightly, and he immediately thought of the problem of the [Great Spirit Tide] being suppressed by the black mist and shortening its duration.

It may not be their fault.

Instead, the black mist is getting stronger and stronger, pressing down on humans, pressing down.

After checking their energy cores, Rhodes confirmed this. There was no problem with the encapsulated psychic crystal, but the loss of psychic energy had not stopped.

The average energy efficiency is reduced by more than 50%.

Logically speaking, this should be an unsolvable problem. Rhodes' contribution to psychic technology has long been used up, and he cannot invent more advanced psychic technology. But why can I solve it so easily?
Rhodes thought for a long time and made various attempts on the energy core, but found nothing unusual.

At this moment, a ball of monster ashes caught Rhode's attention.

This is one of the raw materials used by the Industrial Machinery Research Institute to make psychic crystals. There is nothing strange about it, but it reminded Rhodes of ashes.

ash?

A flash of light flashed through the dark mind, and Rhodes immediately raised his eyebrows.

【Glutton】?
Can't it consume ashes and create specific substances?
Isn't the only product now the core of ashes?

Is it...

Rhodes immediately took out an Ash Core:
"Bald head, try this thing."

The bald master took the gray thing in confusion and put it into the psychic instrument for testing.

"Well, it's a pure inorganic substance without any spirituality or energy. It's like a ball of ashes..."

The bald master glanced at Rhodes doubtfully.

If he hadn't given it to him, he would have ended the test long ago and thrown this useless ashes into the trash.

But after all, this is Mr. Rhodes, so let’s complete the routine tests.

Although he thought so, he no longer had any expectations in his heart.

"No linking ability, no repulsion, no magnetism, nothing, nothing, nothing, it's just a piece of garbage."

The bald master read angrily.

“If it’s not trash, I’m trash, no!”

He screamed, his eyes suddenly widening.

"Can it be charged? Is this an energy core?"

"Ah, let me see how good he is. First of all, the spiritual pressure. Oh my god, there is no upper limit? Can't it be filled instantly?"

"Psychic energy density, 100 thousand moments??? It's twice as high as the best psychic crystal!"

"Internal resistance, zero? Incredible, incredible, what kind of material is this? How could there be such a terrible material?"

"Let me see again, the capacity is 20 tracks! Oh my God, the latest Blade Psychic Crystal only has 10 tracks. It actually has 20 tracks!"

The bald master frantically touched his bald head and jumped around excitedly, like a monkey.

"Wow, I have never seen such good materials. This is simply a subversive creation. I hope its spiritual energy can flow slower... Huh? No? No loss? How is this possible?"

The bald master's expression was extremely distorted, and he looked like he was going to die suddenly on the spot. He frantically called for his assistants, and kept adding various inspections to the ashes.

But every check shows that its psychic energy is locked and there is no loss under any natural circumstances.

What shocked them even more was that once the ash core was put into the energy core, the loss rate of the entire energy core would be greatly reduced.

After a simple test, as long as three ash cores are put in, the spiritual energy loss rate of the energy core will be reduced to insignificance.

"Sir Rhodes, this is simply a miracle!"

The bald master rushed forward and tried to hug Rhodes, but was pushed away.

Rhodes said solemnly: "Bald, I can provide thousands of these ash cores in a short period of time. You must make full use of them."

Upon hearing this number, the bald master convulsed all over and foamed at the mouth, looking as if he was having an epileptic seizure. The other researchers were no better and couldn't even speak.

Rhodes was too lazy to waste time with them and turned around and left the Industrial Machinery Research Institute.

He really didn't expect that [Glutton] could be used in this place, and that the Ash Core turned out to be an excellent psychic core.

With it, Trorian's psychic technology will usher in explosive growth.

Perhaps in the future, there will really be a chance to see the overwhelming sight of an army of steel machines rushing toward monsters.

Of course, there is still a long way to go for the creations of the Industrial Machinery Research Institute to become the backbone of Trolian, and this is not what Rhodes cares about.

[Glutton] actually has such a miraculous use, which is far beyond the expectations of Rhodes and the Book of Knowledge. The raw material of such a unique creation as the Ash Core is only ashes.

Rhodes just waved his hand, and the ashes collected during this period were sucked into his mouth like a strong wind.

After a moment, invisible ripples spread out from his mouth, and ash cores emerged from the ripples.

In just one hour, Rhodes ate up all the ash and created hundreds of thousands of ash cores.

This efficiency is simply unimaginable.

And this star has not even been quantified.

Rhodes looked at it passionately.

If the completion is quantified, what magical changes can it undergo after awakening the star soul?
Rhodes was full of expectations and quickly gave these ash cores to the Industrial Machinery Research Institute.

Looking at the pile of ash cores, everyone in the Industrial Machinery Research Institute was boiling.

Rhodes was also pleased to see the golden light of divinity.

——Improve the overall strength of the Orderly One, bring hope, divinity +800
——Open up new paths, open up new possibilities, divinity +1000
Rhodes widened his eyes.

1800 divinity?
it is good!
Ashes are my staple from now on.

Please call me the Ash-Eating King!
