The Last Dark King

Of course, it is not difficult for Trollian to advance now.

When the black tide and king-level monsters can no longer restrain them, expansion has become a normal thing.

But what really matters is not the advance, but the occupation.

Without occupying land and converting the resources in the land into human combat power, expansion is meaningless.

Rod knew this very well.

Even if you kill a powerful being like the Filthy Blood God, you only get 500 divinity. However, eliminating the crisis caused by the Filthy Blood God allows Rhodes to gain 3,000 divinity, not to mention the Filthy Blood God's divinity. There are 2800 divinities in the soul itself.

Therefore, just killing monsters will not bring much help to humans.

What really matters is to occupy land, obtain resources, and increase combat power.

This is also the original intention of their expansion.

At the same time, it is also their biggest difficulty.

Originally they thought this would be a long-term and arduous task, but no one expected that the emergence of the Ash Core completely solved all problems.

After using the Ash Core, the transportation efficiency of all psychic transport vehicles has increased by more than dozens of times.

The new energy core led by it, in addition to having ultra-high energy storage, ultra-fast charging, and ultra-strong energy-saving features, the biggest improvement is infinitely close to zero loss.

This is a complete miracle.

It has improved the operating efficiency of the entire Trorian Kingdom to an unimaginable level.

The speed of the once slow hearse increased more than ten times.

The roads throughout the kingdom were filled with speeding hearses.

Carloads of people and goods go to where they should go as quickly as possible.

If logistics is the blood of a kingdom, then the blood flow rate of this kingdom has increased hundreds of times.

With the supply of sufficient materials, countless human strongholds were built, countless protective fires were ignited, and countless roads were built.

Looking down from above, countless "capillaries" spread across the earth, and new "nutrients" are constantly transported along them, which in turn accelerates their extension.

Wherever the "capillaries" go, human control extends.

Their end points are usually in front of mining areas, lakes, and fertile soil.

Once the spread is completed, new mines, water purification plants, breeding farms, and planting farms will be built.

Trorian's efficiency in this regard is astonishing in itself.

The entire royal city has nearly one million production workers. Their psychic level is not high, between level 3 and 7, and their soul characteristics have little combat ability, but they are very good at construction.

They can complete a mine that can accommodate 10,000 people in three days, a one-million-yard two-way twenty-lane road that they can complete in five days, and a huge plantation park that can provide food for one million people, they can complete it in seven days. Finish.

It is precisely because of their existence that Trorian's production and construction has always been carried out at an alarming speed.

All types of mines that have been built can be started on the same day.

Excavation tools and transportation tools that use ash cores as their energy core increase their output efficiency hundreds of times.

The Industrial Machinery Research Institute is still working overtime to research more new tools that are more suitable for the Ash Core.

Under Rhode's suggestion, psychic tractors, psychic harvesters, psychic seeders, and psychic drills were produced one after another.

Since psionic energy is naturally suitable for building spiritual networks, groups of psionic aircraft operated by a psionic center have also begun to be put into use.

The only pity is that the investment in the psychic golem is too high and the cost is high, so it is not suitable for being a miner. Otherwise, if this step is taken, Trolian will take off.

In short, the Ash Core is invading every aspect of Trolian, changing the way Trolian operates at an unimaginable speed.

It is precisely because of this that the output of resources is increasing at an unimaginable speed.

The three major elements required for the Ascension Ceremony have begun stable production.

The Light Stone Refining Formation, the Star Marrow Refining Furnace, and the Star Source Ceremony are all in progress.

Especially the Star Source Ceremony, for the first time they condensed ten pieces of pure Star Source without Rhodes and only relying on themselves.

This is an epoch-making breakthrough. Although it is only one-tenth that of Rhodes, it means that Trorian can finally obtain pure star source in a normal way.

Although Rhodes' efficiency is ten times that of theirs, due to the influence of stars, the same soul as a whole and the same area cannot perform the Star Source Ritual repeatedly.

If you want to perform the star source ceremony in the dream again, you must wait until the next time the stars return.

In other words, he can only do it once a year.

But Trorian is different. They have multiple people performing the Star Source Ceremony together. As long as more than half of the members who perform the Star Source Ceremony next time are different from the last members.

Therefore, this normalized Star Source Ceremony is a long-term solution.

With the supply of huge resources, the reserves of the three major elements are increasing in an orderly manner.

Everyone is full of expectations. As long as this continues, the birth of the fourth true king is not a problem.

Of course, this is just a good idea at the moment.

Trolian's fortune can no longer carry more true kings, unless they can find more deified source matter, perform the fusion ceremony again, or enhance Trorian's fortune.

But no matter which one, it cannot be completed in a short time.

Therefore, it is not an easy task to surpass the limitations of the legendary True King.

Of course, many people disagree with this.

Professor Barrett said: "If we have four true kings, wouldn't that surpass humans during most of the Era of Fire?"

The great scholar Professor Binns even said clearly: "The truth as we know it is full of errors."

But Rovia's ideas have become the mainstream in the royal city.

The rise of Trorian, the revival of fire, and the prosperity of mankind have become irrefutable facts.

Even if people are not so crazy now and understand that this is a long-term process that will last for hundreds or thousands of years, they still believe that victory will be their eternal theme in the future.

Of course, this is a good thing in every sense of the word.

At the very least, doomsday cultists have become completely extinct as a result.

There is no trace of them in the entire kingdom.

Trorian was finally completely free of their influence, and the entire country's operating efficiency improved a bit as a result.

However, Rhodes knew very well that they were not completely eliminated, but were just temporarily hiding, waiting for the next opportunity.

Asa's recent setback is the most obvious sign.

He repeatedly failed in his struggle with Acker for control of the evil spirit space.

The total length of time under his control was not enough for Rhodes to take off his pants.

"Master, it's not that I'm incompetent."

When faced with Rhodes' doubts, Asa defended himself this way.

"Ake can drive the power of other evil thoughts to fight against me together. Their resistance is so tenacious, which proves that the remaining power of evil thoughts is still very strong, especially the last evil leader Alan, maybe he is helping Ake, otherwise I It’s impossible to lose so miserably!”

Rhodes was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and asked directly: "What do you need?"

Asa suddenly smiled: "Master, I need more filthy essence. I have absorbed a lot of evil thoughts, and the essence of my soul has jumped to a new level, but I still lack strength. Without stool, I have no strength."

Although he had guessed what Asa was going to say, Rhodes really didn't want to do this. This was simply throwing dirty water on himself.

I can't explain it yet.

However, for the sake of the rise of mankind and the happy life of countless people, Rhodes still resolutely did it.

Who told me to be so great?

"Send an order to the entire Trorian to collect all the ancient shit and send it to the royal city."

At the Supreme Council, Rhodes issued his second order and added.

"It is strictly forbidden for anyone to spread rumors. These old stools are unsafe and may cause harm to Trorian. I am conducting concentrated destruction for the safety of mankind. Who dares to say such things as swallowing stools? , severe punishment.”

In the Supreme Council, the elders looked at each other with different expressions.

Only the first elder, Armando, always had a calm expression and said slowly: "Strictly follow the instructions of His Excellency Rhodes, Son of Fire. Do not deviate from a word. In addition, this order is issued in my name."

Rhodes was relieved.

In this way, my reputation should not be affected at all.

He returned to the dreamland with peace of mind and began today's awakening.

This time the stars are [Time Walk].

If the predictions of the Book of Knowledge and the Book of the Future are correct, as long as this star is awakened, the recovery speed of the Star Tower will be greatly increased in the future, and it will no longer be necessary to wake up only one star a day.

Rhodes came to the Star Tower, touched the clock face lightly, and pointed the pointer to [Time Walk].

Two lines of golden text appeared in front of his eyes.

[Activating the Star Tower requires 100 divinity]

[Awakening the Big Star requires 5 copies of Colorful Dreams]

Rhodes frowned slightly, the price for five copies of Colorful Dreams was still a bit high.

I hope the awakening process won't be too difficult.

Rhodes invested 100 Divinity and 5 Colorful Dreams into the Star Tower.

There are 309 Divinities and 2 Colorful Dreams left in the obelisk.

But Rhodes didn't care. The core of ash and the expanded divinity would come soon, and the nightmare fuel for making colorful dreams could be obtained by hunting the black mist symbiote or severely corrupted monsters.

With his current level of strength, these are not problems.

As the white mist spread, Rhodes' eyes gradually fell into darkness. When he regained his sight again, he saw an extremely majestic mountain with an extremely huge corpse embedded in it.

It has been severely decayed, with only white bones and black decay left. Countless chains surround its remains, locking it firmly in the mountain.

Its skull was raised, and its two huge holes looked into the distance, as if waiting for something.

"destroy."

In the howling wind, Rhodes vaguely heard a voice.

"Destroy me."

"Free me from the dark and corrupt time. In these eternal years, there will no longer be my harm or my pollution. The black mist will not be able to get anything from me."

Rhodes looked back left and right. There was no one around, only the barren land and broken stones.

"Uh, are you talking to me?"

no answer.

A moment later, the repetitive sound emerged from the fierce wind again.

Rhodes suddenly realized that this was a residual sound.

It has only one purpose, which is to allow those who come after to completely eliminate this corpse.

"Is this what I'm going to do?"

Rhodes shook his hands. He could use psychic powers and most of the stars. He could use everything except divine abilities and a few special abilities.

"It seems like this was a simple awakening."

But to his surprise, the body was much harder than he imagined. No matter how hard he hit it, it would have no effect.

"how so?"

Rhodes observed for a moment and found that the shackles imprisoning the corpse seemed to have some powerful protective effect.

He tried to attack the shackles, but a blow of truth with more than 10 million kilometres of spiritual energy could not leave a mark on the shackles, only shaking off a few gravels.

Obviously, neither this body nor this mountain exists conventionally.

Some kind of powerful sealing force affects this place.

"Maybe not using brute force."

Rhodes thought.

[God's Eye] was used again, but the surface of the shackles lit up with shining light, refracting the dissociation rays.

Rhodes' heart sank, and he tried to use [Destruction Ball] again, but the information fed back by [Destruction Grip] indicated that the gap between the two sides was too great, and Rhodes could not suppress the opponent at the spiritual level.

wrong.

Rhodes finally realized that it was extraordinary, far beyond his imagination.

What on earth is this?

He checked around the mountain, and sure enough, he found words engraved by the Word of God in a corner.

【Tomb of Ehaius】

What?

Rhodes was shocked.

Isn't Ehaeus the ancestor of giants? Wasn't its body split into five parts and sealed on various continents?

Why does it appear here?

Countless questions arose in his mind, but Rhodes had no time to think about it because he realized that he didn't have much time left.

The Star Tower sent him a reminder that there was only the last hour left to wake up the stars.

The flow of time here seems to be far faster than reality.

If he cannot complete the awakening, he will have to spend 100 divinity and 5 colorful dreams.

no!

I have to finish my awakening!

Rhodes concentrated his thoughts and quickly recalled his stars.

Soon, he noticed [Justice Execution].

[Psychic Duo] is restricted by the black mist and is useless.

However, the Star Soul ability [Final Chapter] seems to be useful!

[Final Chapter]: Play the melody of the end, announcing the death penalty of the dark soul.

Note: The soul must be in a state of imprisonment, just like a prisoner wearing shackles during an execution.

that's it!

It was like spring thunder exploding in Rhode's mind.

Wasn't the ancestor of the giants imprisoned by the mountain and shackles?

It protects the corpse of the giant ancestor from harm, but I can use it to use [Final Chapter] instead!

Rhodes immediately triggered [Justice Execution].

The magnificent melody instantly sounded in my mind, the boiling music reverberated in the air, and endless pressure gathered from all directions towards the center.

The body of Ehaius was trembling, as if it wanted to struggle, but the shackles restrained it.

It opened its mouth wide and seemed to want to roar, but there was no sound.

Countless runes lit up on the shackles, and the powerful sealing force firmly restrained the giant ancestor.

The mountain was shaking, and countless rocks fell.

Suddenly, there was a bang, one of the shackles was broken, and Ehaeus' body was about to break out of the mountain, but at this moment, [Final Chapter] was completed.

Like a guillotine falling, all the entangled strings were cut off, and all vibrations stopped.

The next second, a loud bang exploded in the center of Ahaeus's body. The ancestor of the giants was torn into pieces, his head and limbs were blown away, and he disappeared into the invisible distance.

The mountain collapsed and the shackles turned into ashes.

Rhodes' eyes were once again shrouded in darkness, and before he could recover, he had already returned to his dream.

Pure white light flooded the place, and a line of pure white text appeared in front of my eyes.
