The Last Dark King

Latest URL: Book of Knowledge hesitated for a moment.

"Master, the difficulty of [Giant Power] is very high for you now, and there is almost no possibility of passing it."

"If you forcefully awaken it, you will either lose 100 points of divinity, or you will have to suspend the Star Tower for a long time until you reach the point where you can complete the awakening."

Rhodes frowned, he didn't expect this answer.

I thought that with the pause function of the Star Tower, I could awaken more powerful stars.

"Book, what is needed to awaken the stars? I have awakened five stars now. I feel that it has little to do with the strength of my soul, but more to test my spiritual will and belief."

The Book of Knowledge replied: "Master, this is because these stars are specially selected by me. They are the easiest stars for the master, and their awakening conditions are most consistent with the master. But on the other hand, if the master does not have such a spirit, Will and belief, they are the most difficult stars to awaken.”

"And most stars require their owners to find their souls in the lost time and space. This may involve experiencing terrifying battles, or requiring extraordinary wisdom. [Giant Power] is such a star. In my induction , it is one of the most difficult stars for the owner to awaken the star soul."

Rhodes was very disappointed.

Just now, his inspiration was touched, and he had a feeling that among all the stars currently, the one that could improve him the most was the [Power of the Titan].

Unexpectedly, it was also the most difficult.

Sure enough, waking up the big stars is not that simple.

But after knowing the reason, the Book of Knowledge suddenly jumped up.

"It's true. [Giant Power] is indeed the most powerful among the big stars. I understand, I remembered it!"

Rhodes raised his eyebrows: "What did you remember?"

"I finally understand why the Ancient God of Destiny specially sent back its source matter. Before the True King, [Giant Power] was your core power. Except for the giant star, no star is more powerful than it... Master , although it is extremely difficult to awaken it, there is a star, and if you master it, you can greatly reduce this difficulty!"

Rhode's heart skipped a beat and he asked urgently: "Which star?"

"[Star Shuttle]!"

Rhodes' eyes immediately looked at the star.

That was the seventh star he lit. It had been the main force in his battles for a long time. It was not until the big star was ignited that it gradually withdrew from the main force.

Is it actually this star?

Rhodes was surprised and confused, and asked slowly: "Is it difficult to wake it up?"

"It has a certain degree of difficulty, but not too high. The owner has a chance to complete its awakening."

Rhodes was convinced and immediately came to the Star Tower.

Another 10 pieces of soul firewood were put in, and the giant clock was lit again, and the light of [Star Shuttle] appeared on the clock face.

On the back of the giant clock, the small silver clock on the other side also glowed.

The Book of Knowledge told Rhodes that as long as he felt something was wrong, he could touch the [Clock of Time] at any time and pause the time of the Star Clock Tower, but the awakening process would also be interrupted and he would have to start over.

"Master, please remember that the Star Tower searches for star souls in lost time and space, forgotten dust, and eternal spiritual rivers. What you see is not necessarily an illusion."

Not a fantasy?

Rhodes didn't understand the words of the Book of Knowledge for a moment, but he didn't think deeply about it. He could stop anyway. The moment his fingertips touched the clock face, his sight was obscured by white mist.

A few seconds later, the white mist dissipated, and Rhodes' figure suddenly rose up. A strong feeling of weightlessness was felt, strong wind rushed into his ears, and black hair flew in front of his forehead.

How is this going?

Rhodes' feet sank and landed again. He raised his eyes and saw only a huge, broken tower.

It is falling rapidly.

And he is standing on top of this building.

There are debris all around, the world is gray, and thick black clouds hang in the sky.

A crying voice shouted: "We are finished! We have failed! Even the Aslada Tower cannot withstand it!"

Only then did Rhodes notice that there were many people gathering above the giant tower.

Along with a loud noise, astonishing psychic energy fluctuations came.

Rhodes was shocked and was horrified to find that it was a level 17 psychic energy.

Those with level 17 psychic powers are terrifying beings.

Rhodes immediately looked in the direction of the source of psychic energy fluctuations.

Sure enough, a terrifying figure climbed up from the bottom of the giant tower. It was at least 10,000 yards high. In front of it, any giant looked like an infant. Its whole body was filled with boiling black mist, and terrifying spiritual energy wavered from its body. emanating from within.

Its image made Rhodes think of an unforgettable existence for a moment.

The Black Mist Demon?

Is this the Black Mist Demon?

No!

Rod quickly denied it again.

It is very similar to the Black Mist Demon, but it is not the Black Mist Demon. It has an obvious entity. The black mist only dances on the surface of its body. Under the black mist, a cyan body can be vaguely seen. Like a mutated giant.

The Black Mist Demon is a condensation of pure black mist. Although it is powerful, it does not have such a sense of reality.

At this time, the crowd erupted into exclamations again, powerful spiritual energy erupted one after another, and flashes of spiritual energy rose into the sky.

Rhodes was surprised to find that all of them had level 17 psychic powers, and the fluctuations of their psychic powers were heavy and steady, like a large ship with ballast stones, rising and falling slightly with the waves.

Strong psychic powers!

This is the most powerful spiritual energy after the original spiritual energy, which means that they all have strong sources.

Are they all strong kings?

No, more than that, he is a great king, an existence at the pinnacle of the king level, only a thin line away from the true king.

Rhodes understood it instantly.

They are the guardians of the giant tower, and they want to fight that terrifying monster!

Sure enough, the next moment, the battle began.

The giant monster tried to climb up from under the tower, but they tried their best to stop it. Unimaginable psychic attacks hit the monster crazily, but failed to cause much damage.

Although the monster's psychic power is also level 17, its psychic power far exceeds the combined strength of these great kings.

No matter how they resisted, it still climbed up from below step by step.

A voice shouted: "Trestan must not be allowed to climb to the center of Aslada's tower!"

A crying voice shouted: "It can't be stopped, I can't stop it! I can't help it, I..."

"Collapse the soul and detonate psychic energy!"

shouted the voice.

Immediately afterwards, Rhodes saw a shining humanoid rushing towards the giant monster. Its light was so bright that Rhodes could hardly open his eyes.

boom!

There was an earth-shattering explosion, and the shining human figure hit the monster.

The rapid release of spiritual energy tore through the space, and the power of the explosion made this terrifying giant tower tremble.

The violent impact also caused the giant monster to retreat a little.

A voice immediately shouted: "It works! I'm on board, Solis, I'll rely on you from now on."

A violent flash of light lit up again, and he bumped into the monster, and the terrifying explosion forced it back one step further.

"has hope!"

another voice shouted.

"Quick, go on, follow me and blow it up."

Another shining figure rushed forward, and a violent explosion lit up again.

"Solis, I'll leave it to you from now on."

"Stay alive, guard Aslada's heart, and regain the power of the stars."

"You are our last hope."

"It's all up to you."

The shining human figures rushed towards the giant monster one after another. Before the flash of the old explosion fell, the flash of the new explosion lit up again.

The giant monster's body was continuously pushed away, and with a bang, its legs were separated from the section of the tower, leaving only its hands still holding on to the edge of the giant tower.

But it didn't fall. It grabbed the edge of the giant tower with both hands, its spiritual energy shining crazily, and it climbed up slowly.

At this time, there was only a shining human figure left on the giant tower.

But the giant monster shattered the human figure into pieces with just a wave of his hand.

The scene in front of Rhodes instantly turned black, and everything around him disappeared.

When he came back to his senses, he had returned to the original place, and a voice shouted: "Trestan must not be allowed to climb to the center of the Aslada Tower!"

Rhodes' heart moved.

Is this giant tower called "Aslada Tower"? That monster's name is "Trestan"?

My mission is to fight off the giant monster "Trestan" and protect the person named "Solis"?

Rhodes walked up, invisible to everyone, as if he were air.

The battle started like before, like a memory that kept playing.

But when Rhodes stretched out his hand, he could clearly feel his spiritual energy, dreams, and stars.

"Can you fight?"

Rhodes was confused and remembered the words of the Book of Knowledge.

"This is not necessarily an illusion?"

He tried to attack "Trestan".

No one noticed this sudden burst of spiritual energy, except for the monster. The moment it stared at Rhodes, a terrifying chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

How is this going?

Are monsters real?

A terrifying thought arose in Rhode's mind, but he immediately rejected it.

Maybe it was just some kind of mental influence from the memory itself.

As for what was going on with psychic energy, Rhodes had no idea for the time being, so he didn't think much about it. Anyway, he could ask the Book of Knowledge after he went out.

The question now is, how to defeat this giant monster?

So many great kings could not shake it even a little bit, and I, a half-step king, was even further behind.

Rhodes tried a variety of attacks, but it cannot be said that they have no effect at all. He can only say that the mayfly shook the pillar.

To make matters worse, Rhodes soon discovered that even the [Psychic Duo] had no effect. The great king's self-destruction had exceeded its ultimate power.

Obviously, what he wants to do is not to attack, but to assist.

Rhodes' auxiliary abilities include [Frigid Blue] and [Song of Life], but they have no effect here.

What they lack is not staying power.

He tried to take "Solis" away with the [Spirit Boat], but when his hand touched her, he got nothing.

Obviously, this won't work.

In this memory, the only one who could interact with him was the giant monster named "Trestan".

what to do?

Rhodes quickly browsed through all his stars and all his dream abilities.

Soon, his eyes were fixed on [The Touch of Evil].

It has just been quantified, and its weakening of monster defense is even stronger.

That's right.

that's it.

Although my attack is too weak, I can enhance the attack power of this group of people and weaken the monster's defense, which is to increase their damage.

Rhodes immediately touched the "Clock of Time" shining in the depths of his soul, his vision suddenly went dark, and he returned to the dreamland.

The tower of stars in front of him was shrouded in a strange fog, and the hands on the giant clock stopped beating.

Not far away, the Book of Knowledge shouted nervously: "Master, what's wrong?"

Rhodes breathed out, briefly told it everything in his memories, and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Master, this is not a simple memory or illusion. You can understand it as another time and space, a special time and space, infinitely far away, but you are still in the Three Realms, activating the divinity needed to activate the Star Tower. , exists for this purpose, otherwise we wouldn’t have a 12-hour limit.”

Rhodes said unhappily: "Then I completed the awakening in an instant, and I didn't see it being returned to me."

"Uh, this..." The Book of Knowledge was at a loss for words.

Rhodes did not continue to question him. As soon as he thought about it, the "Clock of Time" was unpaused. He touched the clock face lightly and he returned to the weird memories again.

The moment the battle started, he used [Evil Touch] directly on the giant monster.

Countless tentacles appeared on the monster's body, constantly tearing at its psychic energy and impacting its soul.

The giant monster withstood the tentacle's psychic blast, but was not immune to its damage to defenses.

At the same time, Rhodes also got closer to it, allowing [Dark Devourer]'s [Destruction of Darkness] to continue destroying its soul.

Sure enough, this trick works.

Although Rhodes only destroyed a little bit of defense, the bonus to those great kings was immediate.

Their self-destruction impacted the giant monster even more violently, eventually blowing it off the giant tower.

It fell quickly like a weight, and the shadow could not be seen in the blink of an eye. Rhodes immediately realized that there should be some kind of gravity restriction on it.

No wonder it can't fly.

However, he didn't seem to pass the test.

The giant tower was still falling, and the strong wind was still howling. Rhodes glanced down. There was a lot of fog below the giant tower, and he didn't know how high it was.

Looking back, there was only one person left on the giant tower. She was wearing a dark blue robe, sitting on her knees and crying bitterly.

Is this "Solis"?

Rhodes took a closer look and saw that she was a very ordinary woman with a mediocre appearance. Her psychic power had just passed level 15 and was not as powerful as himself.

Why do these great kings call her the "last hope?"

Is there anything special about her?

While she was thinking, she suddenly stood up, wiped away her tears, walked back a few steps, and came to a disk.

The disk contained a complex hollow sphere that began to rotate upon her arrival.

"Everyone died for me."

she murmured.

"I can't let them down."

She raised her hand and the sphere began to spin.

At this moment, Rhodes felt the power of the stars.

In the gray sky, countless stars lit up, but darkness also spread among the stars, and a vast force rushed towards them.

"The starry sky has been polluted."

she murmured.

"The cage of imprisonment has been opened, and Amidala is devouring the stars."

"I can't let this happen."

The sphere began to reverse, and her soul rose into the sky, disappearing into the light of the stars.

"Sorry, everyone."

she murmured.

"I can't rebuild the tower."

"I hope its remains can help future humans."

Countless rays of light flew towards the starry sky, carrying her soul to the distant place.

When the light fell, the sphere had turned into an empty shell.

boom!

The giant tower crashed to the ground, Rhode's vision went dark, and everything disappeared.

it's over?

Did I fail?

The next second, a little light came on, and a gentle voice said:

"No, you succeeded."

In the endless darkness, a group of stars emerged, dancing gently as if it had a soul.

"There are too many. I feel countless sacrifices from your soul, countless people, including others' and yours."

"Oh, how many years have passed, a thousand years, ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years, and I finally met you."

Rhodes was surprised: "Who are you?"

"A poor soul, imprisoned in the starlight, but now, I am no longer pitiful."

"My mission accomplished."

It said in an extremely soft tone, with a voice full of longing.

"I'm here, Sedes, Baio, Sen, everyone has been waiting for a long time, Solis is here..."

Its voice faded and the stars dimmed.

When Rhodes opened his eyes, he was back on the tower.

The blue starlight flooded the dreamland, making everything quiet and stable.

In front of my eyes, dark blue text fell like a waterfall.

【Star Shuttle】

[Status: Origin]

[Position: Sea of ​​Origin]

[Star Energy: Stardust Glory]

[Star Soul: Super Star Flash]

[Strength: 60 million]

[Source: 6]

[Description: The dream of a world that is rapidly destroyed,

The light of the imprisoned stars,

Only longing is the proof of living]

——

[Stardust Glory]: Condensing the shining starlight into stardust or star threads to form starlight armor, starlight weapon, and starlight shuttle.

[Super Star Flash]: The moment when stars twinkle, everything is destroyed.

Note: It requires a huge amount of psychic energy.

——

Rhodes stared blankly at everything in front of him.

It took a long time to realize that he had awakened the star soul of [Star Shuttle].

But how did I wake up?

What happened in the final moments?

What does it mean?

Countless questions echoed in his mind, leaving Rhodes confused for a moment.

On the other hand, the Book of Knowledge and the Doll were in high spirits.

"Master, another star has returned to its position, and the strength of your soul has skyrocketed. If this continues, you will soon break through the 16th level of psychic power and become a powerful king-level combat power."

There was also uncontrollable joy in the puppet's tone: "Even on the oldest battlefield, this is a powerful force. The real master of the dream is about to return. Humanity will once again feel your powerful power. When you can completely say When everything comes out of the dream, that’s when we charge into the black mist.”

The Book of Knowledge added: "Of course, the premise is that you must awaken a big star, so that your soul can have a strong source and your spiritual energy can be essentially strengthened."

The difference between strong psionic energy and psionic energy is much greater than the difference between psionic energy and weak psionic energy.

As long as Rhodes doesn't control the source of power, he can't be regarded as an official king-level combat power.

But that day is not far away.
