MTL - The Last King of Darkness-Chapter 490 Star City and Lord of the Sewers (2 in 1)
Carrying too many heavy hopes is also a burden.
Unlike when he was a fledgling, Rhodes had already deeply felt the power of the black mist, and those existences that were silent in the depths of the black mist were not easily defeated like ordinary monsters.
A starry queen who almost pierced Trorian's coffin.
If the Starry Queen didn't use the power of the star source to preserve her spirit, then what greeted them would most likely be a disastrous defeat.
No one dared to imagine what kind of enemy the Queen of Stars, who had completely fallen into darkness, possessed the strongest source of stars, devoured the seeds of the holy fire, and had been silent for thousands of years in the initial black mist, would be.
Looking back now, it's no wonder that the main star priest would say that this battle was difficult when he learned that there was no king-level combat power among them.
As it turns out, it's hard, if not impossible.
According to the inferences of scholars, before falling into the darkness, the Queen of Stars has most likely already taken that step, or at least approached that level.
It's a pity that they didn't have time to verify this point. After awakening the queen and killing the strange shadow, the battle came to an end.
Rhodes is currently at the twelfth level of psychic power, and he will have at least fourteenth level of psychic power before he is expected to become the Law Commander.
The most troublesome thing is that he is in a special situation, and he still doesn't know how to meet the standard of the Law Commander.
"Still too weak."
Rhodes thought.
"I still want to be stronger, gain more divinity, ignite more stars, and find more dream fragments."
"With my superhuman aptitude and invincible wisdom, I will definitely not fail like my predecessor."
Rhodes was determined, so he stopped thinking about it, raised his head to acknowledge the honor he deserved, and strode out of the holy fire sacrificial field.
The holy fire sacrificial field in Starry Sky City is huge, but fortunately, due to the existence of the Starry Queen, there are no monsters and no pollution, and the transformation of production and construction personnel is very smooth.
The main structure of the sacrificial field itself is solidified by spiritual energy and is very hard. Under the command of many construction masters, this place has become the fortress of human beings in the starry sky city.
The area they cleared when they came was the only supply line with the outside world.
Support and supplies are continuously sent to the holy fire sacrificial field along this road.
At Molly's suggestion, Rhodes sent some fighters to protect along the way to ensure the smooth flow of this route.
Especially the sewer area.
This is the most troublesome. There are the most monsters left in the sewer, and the pollution is also the most serious.
The last extraction of the strange shadow didn't seem to have much impact on the sewer.
Rhodes went out this time to cooperate with other high-level combatants to thoroughly clean up the sewers to ensure the safety of material transportation and personnel.
Amidst the greetings all the way, Rhodes stepped out of the sacred fire sacrificial field for the first time in several days.
The hole in the wall of the sacrificial field is still there, the surrounding monsters have been cleaned up, even the broken Starry Avenue has been repaired, and there are patrolling soldiers and busy staff all around.
This ancient royal city has not had the breath of so many living beings for 1,500 years.
"Good day, Your Excellency the Son of Fire."
"The black pot never fails!"
…
Damn, I must change this disgusting nickname in the future!
Rhodes gritted his teeth and waved back with a smile.
Go back to the sewer along the way they used to come in.
Guardians Churchill and Gale are waiting for him here.
"Brother Rhodes, you are finally here!"
Churchill gave him a bear hug as soon as he came up, and his strong arms buried Rhodes' whole body into his chest.
"I can't wait any longer. What are you doing? It's a quarter of an hour later than the scheduled time."
Luo Luohu said: "The king's special envoy is here, and it took a little time."
Churchel laughed and said: "I knew it, you have become the eighth son of fire! You are indeed the person I valued at the beginning."
"It's the preparer."
Rhodes corrected.
"Haven't become an official Son of Fire yet."
Churchill patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and his big palm patted him reeling.
"That's almost the same. Who doesn't know that there is only one preparator. As long as you enter the field of the lawmaker and become a super combatant, you can immediately put on the coat of the son of fire... The existence of the preparator is just to prepare for the seat of ashes." Heat, otherwise you have become a child of fire and have not tried your best to bless you, that would be bad..."
"However, there are very few people who locked the Seat of Ashes so early. Except for Misha, you are the only one."
Rhodes looked at him in surprise: "Misha?"
"yes."
Churchill stroked his unshaven chin.
"That girl is a super genius that has never been seen before. She is the only person who has received the attention of the White Tower after Alan. Her existence has surpassed the concept of a new star, so you have never contacted her. We once regarded her as ours. savior."
Rhode's interest was suddenly aroused. He originally thought that Misha, the King of Thunder and Lightning, was an old woman, but he didn't expect it to be a young girl.
"What happened later? Is she no longer a savior?"
Churchell explained: "I can't say that, it's just that she encountered some difficulties, which made her not grow as fast as before."
"Did she grow up fast before?"
"soon."
"Faster than me?"
Churchill laughed and said: "Brother Rhodes, do you know? She is one year younger than you, and it took only one and a half years to ignite the fire of the soul and become the fire holder."
Rhodes was shocked: "You became the Son of Fire in a year and a half?"
"No, it's half a year to be precise." Churchill corrected: "It only took her half a year to increase her psionic level from level one to level fourteen, and her characteristic 'power of thunder' has directly quantified , do you know how we felt at that time?"
He turned his head to Haifeng, who remained silent and kept a cold attitude until Churchill asked him, and he didn't answer.
"Shocked, unbelievable, unacceptable, confused, maybe the savior has come."
Churchell smiled and said, "Yes, it's almost in this state. She became the Son of Fire at the fastest speed. In Trorian's history of more than a thousand years, this has never happened before."
"We thought she would become a superpower who could face the real darkness as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, her soul couldn't adapt to such a powerful psionic energy, and soon fell into a deep sleep."
Rhodes frowned and said, "Is it because her psionic promotion ceremony has not been completed?"
Churchill shook his head: "No, her psychic ritual is flawless, and there is no problem with her soul. It's just that her psychic power has increased too fast, and the strength of her soul has not kept up. Too strong psychic power will always be consumed quickly. After finishing her psychic powers, her mind can't bear the 14th level of psychic power strength, so she always falls into a deep sleep, she has to stay in a special environment all year round, and only use special clones to fight when necessary."
It was only then that Rhodes understood why she was always surrounded by lightning and never spoke during the battle of Starry Sky City.
"but."
Churchill looked at Rhodes and smiled again.
"Brother Rhodes, although your growth is not as fast as hers, Wangcheng's expectations for you are no worse than hers. Even when you just became a guardian, you locked the seat of ashes for you. This is unique. .”
Gaifeng put his hands on his chest, and said solemnly and coldly: "After super geniuses like Alan and Misha, there appeared people like you who cannot be understood by common sense. Many people in the royal city think that this is a sign that the era of fire is about to come back, and Rovia’s rebound theory has been widely recognized, and everyone believes that the time of human revival is coming.”
"That's right!"
Churchill raised his hands high and laughed wildly.
"I also think so. Human beings go against the trend, rise in desperation, and recover in ruins. This endless black fog, this terrifying dark world, is up to us to break!"
Amidst the bold laughter, Rhodes did not speak, and walked into the sewer silently.
For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy. The words of the Queen of Stars and the priest of the main star always echoed in his mind.
It seems that everything is not going as smoothly as they thought, but they can't tell why.
After returning to the familiar environment, Rhodes' heart gradually calmed down, and a feeling of handiness emerged spontaneously.
He took the lead to go deep, and once again started the cleaning operation of the sewer.
Although the sewers of Starry Sky City are not as large as those of Trorian King City, they are more complicated, and due to the collapse of some areas, the route has become more cumbersome.
But in front of Rhodes, none of this is a problem.
With his absolute understanding of the sewer, he smoothly cleaned every branch line and solved the postman problem with a perfect path. In the messy sewer, he never got lost or repeated.
The monsters in the sewers of Starry Sky City are mainly zombies and evil ghosts, generally in the mid-level and high-level strong.
After Rhodes' psychic energy reached level 12, monsters of this level were no longer his opponents at all, and belonged to objects that could be killed instantly.
The big star shuttle with twelfth-level psionic ability can basically solve it with one shot.
Even if he didn't die by luck, it was just another blow.
Only a very small number of monsters are strong ultra-level, but usually they will not exceed the second gear, and they do not pose much threat to Rhodes, and they can be killed without too much effort.
What's more, Rhodes' soul eyes can not only see far, but also pass through walls. Monsters have nowhere to hide, not only can't attack them, but they are always attacked by them.
It is precisely because of these reasons, coupled with his familiarity with the sewer, that Rhodes can run amok here.
Churchill and Gale were completely stunned, so they didn't care about the road at all, and just focused on fighting.
Ordinary individual monsters were killed by Rhodes in one blow, and only when they encountered a group of monsters did they have a chance to attack.
Churchill held the hammer and axe, and as soon as the power of the gods was activated, he rushed into the crowd of monsters and killed them randomly.
He has infinite strength, rough skin and thick flesh, and the cyan spiritual power of the gods endowed him with powerful strength, defense and resistance. Monsters can't even scratch his skin. With a hammer and ax turning, it is like a meat grinder. The monster was twisted to pieces.
Nothing can stop him, and he rampages among the monsters like a tiger among sheep.
On the other side, Gaifeng turned invisible, and could only see the cyan sword light flashing across the space.
Every time it flashes, there will always be a monster broken in two.
These two are old comrades-in-arms, and the cooperation is flawless. Coupled with Rhodes' strong output, the monsters in the sewer were wiped out while talking and laughing.
It only took two to three hours, and the entire sewer was completely unblocked, and there was no hidden danger anymore.
"Worthy of being the king of the sewer." Churchel praised: "Sure enough, I still have to leave it to you to deal with it. What Haifeng and I haven't finished in three days, you can solve it as soon as you come."
The cold Gale Sword Master was also impressed by Rhodes: "I admit that your accomplishments in the sewer surpass me."
You don't have to admit it in this regard, Rhodes complained in his heart.
Although he repeatedly emphasized that he had nothing to do with the sewers, apparently no one believed him.
He didn't bother to say much, he drew a three-dimensional picture of the complete underground waterway, handed it to them, and then returned to the holy fire sacrificial site.
Cleaning up the sewer was just an extra episode, not because of their strong request, Rhode didn't want to go at all.
So as not to fuel rumors about the King of the Sewers.
However, the words of Churchill and Haifeng left a deep impression on Rhodes, and he asked in his mind:
"Book, do you think what they said is possible to be true? Is the fire really about to recover? Is the human race really about to rise again?"
The Book of Knowledge pondered for a long time, and replied uncertainly: "I don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence. It's not that such a super genius has never appeared in human history."
Asa, who had turned into a poop-yellow mass, sneered at the side: "This is just your illusion. The black mist will swallow you one day, and nothing can save you."
Rhodes asked casually: "In this case, tell me the inside story of the descendant sect."
Asa said coldly: "You don't think I know them very well, do you? The hatred among the doomsday sects is no less than yours."
Rhodes shrugged: "I knew you wouldn't say it."
Asa was obviously angry, and his shit-yellow soul swelled up: "So what if I tell you? The Adventist Sect is all your high-level combatants. It's useless, check your judge system and review system, among them, the traitors belonging to the sect of the descendants are the most."
Rhodes nodded. Judge Gregor belonged to the sect of the Adventists. After him, the judges in Wangcheng were almost wiped out, but he didn't expect there to be maggots now.
He immediately wrote a letter to inform Wang Cheng of this matter.
Asa sneered, and continued to study his shit.
Afterwards, the Book of Knowledge said: "Master, according to the astrology I saw on the Square of Stars, there are still thirteen days left before the stars shine. We must hurry up to obtain divinity. This is the last chance."
Rhodes asked casually: "How much divinity can we gain this time?"
"There will be a lot."
The book of knowledge kept turning the pages, looking very excited.
"It's more than anything we've ever obtained before. The Star City battle was a complete victory, which brought us a huge amount of divinity. We're much more confident in surviving the invasion of the Spirit Devourer King!"
Rhodes looked at the obelisk, and the **** text flickered on the omen's face.
The invasion of the Soul Eater came just two days after the stars were shining.
The time is very near.
Rhodes has already felt the power of king-level monsters.
Whether it is the main star priest or the star queen, they are almost invincible existences.
But the Devouring King will fight him in the home of the dream, which gives Rhodes a chance to win.
During this period of time, I want to engage in more divinity.
Rhodes thought.
But also to quickly master more fighting skills of supernatural beings.
He became a guardian for a very short time, and he took up the post as soon as he reached the eleventh level of psionic ability. He didn't know the combat skills of many first-level combatants.
Once he has mastered these skills, his combat ability will be able to take it to the next level.
"Owner."
When telling his thoughts to the book of knowledge, the puppet suddenly said: "I can teach you the combat skills of the extraordinary."
Rhodes asked in surprise: "Will you?"
"certainly."
A gleam flashed in the puppet's cloudy eyeballs.
"I am the battle servant of the dream."
The Book of Knowledge said unhappily: "Come on, Afro, your memory has not been fully recovered, don't teach the master broken things."
A rare look of disappointment appeared in the doll's eyeballs. It lowered its head and said softly, "I'm sorry, Master."
Rhodes waved his hand: "It's okay, I have a master to teach. Wangcheng sent many masters and instructors over. You can also observe their teachings and try to recover your memory from them."
At this moment, Book of the Future ran over cautiously from the corner and asked in a low voice:
"Master, can you give me a drop of star source, I feel that it can restore my incomplete soul."
Rhodes frowned, a drop of star source is 8 points of divinity, and Wang Cheng is staring at this place eagerly.
Regarding the use and distribution rights of Xingyuan, they have already scheduled it until next year.
Of course, if he asks for it, Wang Cheng will not deny it, but losing 8 divinity points is not something he can accept.
"The Book of the Future."
Rhodes thought for a moment, and said: "I can promise you, but not now, during this time, we need to see your performance."
The Book of the Future shrank back somewhat disappointed.
The Book of Knowledge patted the cover in dissatisfaction: "What is this guy thinking? Master, ignore him."
Rhodes didn't answer. He knew that these servants were fighting openly and secretly. Except for the puppet, everyone wanted to perform in front of him, so as to gain the attention of the master, restore the soul earlier, and even restore the original state. face.
"Book, what are we going to do next?" Rhodes changed the subject.
The Book of Knowledge pondered and said: "Master, the dreamland is currently in the sea of chaos. We must be careful to disturb the source demons and chaotic demons wandering in the sea of chaos. Before defeating the invasion, the dreamland is not suitable for fighting. We don't need more souls for now, unless That soul has the source."
Rhodes nodded. During the battle of Starry Sky City, he obtained a lot of powerful souls, and there would be no shortage of soul-related resources.
The only pity is that very few of these souls have sources.
After the moment when the stars shine, he will gain a lot of divinity, but he needs energy to ignite the stars.
If there is one more star, there will be one more chance of victory in the battle.
The Book of Knowledge continued: "I will use the soulless soul to continue to repair and strengthen the dream. The king of evil spirits has been resurrected. It has acquired some of the characteristics of the stars and has become stronger, but it is not enough. It needs to devour more soul to become stronger..."
Book of the Future interrupted suddenly: "Master, I have already fed some. I have verified that it is the most suitable for its soul. It is full and sleeping. After it digests, you will see a brand new The king of evil spirits..."
The Book of Knowledge interrupted it dissatisfied.
"Shut up, I don't need you to say it...Master, it would be even better if we had more combat items. No amount of preparation is enough to fight against the king class."
"In the end, it's still divinity. Every bit of divinity increases our winning percentage."
Rhodes nodded, and glanced at the top of the obelisk, which listed all his achievements during this period.
Soul strength: 9682000
Soul Stars: 11
Humanity: 22.19 million
Divinity: 20
Spiritless Souls: 2.1 billion
Inside the stele: none
Soul Altar: 12 extremely great souls, 51 great souls
Spirituality: 92,000
Source energy: 37
Storage: 520,000 soul residues, 25 flowers of humanity, 7 soul firewood, 189 various soul trait blocks, 260 nightmare materials, omitted.
Special Items: 7 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Twisted Scales, 1 Chaos Stone, 1 Flesh Reborn
—
This is all his cards now.
Originally, there were only 13 points of divinity left. After a week, the dream gained 7 points of fixed divinity, and only had 20 points.
On the soul altar, Rhodes sacrificed all the souls below the great soul.
Rhodes also planned to sacrifice the remaining souls at a suitable time.
There is no pity, it is not too difficult for him to plunder souls now.
The nightmare materials were obtained by Rhodes after killing the black mist symbiosis. In the battle of Starry Sky City, he got a lot of nightmare materials.
The Flower of Humanity, the Queen of Stars contributed 10 flowers at a time, making Rhodes no longer lacking for the time being.
The row for special items is a lot less.
This is also helpless, Rhodes used up the last piece of Undying Spirit and a Stone of Resurrection.
But it doesn't matter, the Chaos Stone that resists all damage and the distorted balance that changes the balance of spiritual energy are all there, so it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with the Devouring King.
After reading it, Rhodes nodded with satisfaction and left the dreamland.
An attendant was knocking on the door, telling him that there were new people coming from Wangcheng.
Rhodes left his room and walked towards the center of the Holy Fire Sacrificial Field, where they fought the Star Queen.
As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw the guardian fire burning on the huge king vessel at a glance. The fire guardian Kexislai was adding phlogiston to the fire, UU reading www. uukanshu.com flames sprang out from the king weapon, burning violently.
Under the king, stood a few acquaintances.
Amides, a university scholar whom I haven't seen for a long time, and his student Miss Mina.
A history and sewer professor Binns whom I haven't seen for a long time.
Rhodes' sewer map was given by him.
This is where his sewer journey began.
But, Professor Binns is the master of the sewer.
Of all the people, there was only one polite scholar whom he had never met.
"Long time no see, Your Excellency the Son of Fire."
Amides bowed slightly to him, while Mina on the side bit her red lips, looking hesitant to speak.
