The Last Dark King

The Swamp Death Fortress is located under the mountains 600,000 yards away from Sagus City. It is said to be the place where the Kingdom of God disposed of dead bodies and excrement during the ancient era.

Among the ancient books found, the most common word used in descriptions of the Swamp Death Castle was "shit".

Because of Asa's influence, Rhodes saw it at a glance.

At the same time, Asa also shouted in his mind.

"Go to the Swamp Death Fortress! Go to the Swamp Death Fortress! Master, I have a hunch that there are many deified source matter there."

Rhodes glanced at him sideways: "Asa, are you going for the deified source material? I don't even want to expose you."

Asa snorted and said in a proud tone: "Master, you don't understand how I feel about shit. This is a prophecy beyond that broken book, a power above fate, in the swamp death fortress. There are a lot of deified source materials wrapped in the ancient shit."

Rhodes looked at him slightly suspiciously: "Is there such a thing? Can you resonate with shit?"

Asa laughed, and the chaotic soul expanded in a circle, with black and yellow colors rolling inside it.

"Yes, Master, I have gone further on the road of devouring the King of Shit. I established my soul with shit, gathering many characteristics such as activity, filth, excretion, corruption, time and space, etc. to form my unique imprint. , this is my way, the power of swallowing shit..."

Rhodes really regretted asking that question, why should I discuss shit with Asa?

"Okay, okay, stop talking, I understand, I'm going to the Swamp Death Castle right away."

After saying that, he left the dreamland and returned to the great library of Sagus City.

Countless ancient books and scrolls are piled here, making this place look like a messy garbage dump, and the soldiers are still moving more ancient books here.

Thousands of scholars shuttled through the sea of ​​books, studying this rare and well-preserved ancient ruins, and exchanging the information they obtained with each other.

At the large round table in the center, Horus, Kai, Olivia and the Dark Moon Princess were listening to the key information filtered out.

In front of them, ancient books recording all the nearby ruins were placed.

"Everyone, I'm going to the Swamp Death Castle."

Rhodes came to the big table and left the ancient book recording the Swamp Death Castle on the table.

"What we want should be there."

Olivia stood up immediately and asked excitedly: "Swamp Death Castle? Is it your intuition?"

Princess Darkmoon said softly: "We will go with you."

Rhodes said hurriedly: "No, let's work separately. This will be more efficient."

Professor Binns, a great scholar, also spoke at this time: "Your Excellency Rhodes is right. According to the information we have obtained so far, this area belonged to a kingdom of gods in ancient times, and its name was Tara Nor. "

Rhodes frowned immediately. He was familiar with the name, but couldn't remember it at the moment.

The Book of Knowledge whispered: "The Foul Blood God, creator and guardian of Talanore."

Rhodes remembered it instantly: "You mean, this is the kingdom of God, the kingdom of the blood god of life, the blood god of purification, Mu?"

It took Horus, Kai, Olivia and Princess Darkmoon several seconds to remember that Mu was the real name of the Blood God of Filth.

Everyone's breathing became hot for a moment. Does this mean that they can get a lot of records about the ancient era from here, and many mysteries of the past will be solved?

Professor Binns nodded slightly and said in approval: "Sir Rhodes indeed has a good intelligence. Is it your disguise to be stupid occasionally? To paralyze the black mist, right?"

Rhodes sighed: "There is no way. If a tree is too taller than other trees in the forest, it will be blown down by the wind. I have to hide something in order to live safely until now."

Professor Binns smiled and said: "Your Excellency Rhodes's words sound very philosophical. Then you must have realized what a huge opportunity we are facing."

"Ah? Yes, I have long realized that what is before us is the opportunity for Trorian to rise..."

In his mind, the Book of Knowledge suddenly said: "I know, I understand! This area is in an extremely remote area. It is far away from the main continent. After the end of the Era of Gods, there will be no human beings in the Era of Fire. Since we set foot here, it is relatively well-preserved, which means that there are countless relics from the Era of Gods waiting for us to discover in the Blood God’s Kingdom of Taranor!”

Rhodes immediately said: "Yes, after the end of the Era of Gods, the destroyed Kingdom of Taranor has been silent in darkness for countless years, and we are the first humans to set foot!"

Only then did everyone understand what a huge opportunity lay before them.

So far, most of the ruins explored in the royal city have been explored, except for a few that are buried deep underground.

The valuable things had already been taken away, and very few relics remained.

It is also because of this that Trorian is so closed-minded and knows very little about the past.

Horus said happily: "No wonder the south of Trolian is so dangerous, full of pollution and thick black fog. It turns out that it is because the destroyed Kingdom of God is here. It has been silent in the darkness for countless years and has turned into a powerful The source of pollution is constantly radiating pollution to the surrounding areas.”

Kai said solemnly: "Yes, this place must be full of dangers. Everyone must be very careful in future actions."

Olivia nodded: "Especially the legion's advance must be steady and prudent. We must establish a stronghold before moving forward."

Several army commanders said at the same time: "Please rest assured, we will definitely keep in touch and act with caution."

And Rhodes could no longer suppress the boiling in his blood: "Then let's set off and explore a kingdom of God. That is a big project."

Horus nodded slightly: "I choose the ancient city of Olika."

Kai: "Then I'll go to Trunk Hill Fort."

Olivia pondered: "Then Dark Moon and I will go to the Blood Red Ancient City."

Rhodes moved and took the lead to fly out of the big library.

"Let's start a new journey!"

"For Trorian!"

Amid huge cheers, the five top experts left separately.

——

For Rhodes, 600,000 yards is no pressure at all, and the thick black fog is no hindrance to him.

With the blessing of more than 15 million Origin Spiritual Energy, it only took Rhodes half a quarter of an hour to see the Swamp Death Fortress under the mountains.

He fell rapidly, and the color of the black mist became darker, as if it penetrated the space. This was the real black mist, but a stronger red light burst out from Rhodes' body, splitting the black mist like a sharp blade.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Swamp Death Fortress.

This is an extremely huge putrid mire. The mud is mixed with countless excrement. It gathers at the foot of these mountains. After countless years of precipitation, it has turned into an indistinguishable mixture. Even the black fog has brought it with it. The color of shit.

A huge black castle was built on such a puddle of mud.

Asa said ecstatically: "Heaven, how can there be such a paradise? The legendary Fire Heaven is nothing more than this, right?"

Rhodes almost vomited out. If the legendary Fire Heaven looks like this, then I'm sorry, I will betray Fire.

"Asa, where is the deified source material?"

"Deep in the mud! Let me out, Master! I will find it for you!"

As soon as Rhodes thought, a phantom appeared in mid-air, and then Asa descended into it. He cheered and plunged into the mud. Countless bubbles rose from under the mud, and Rhodes heard the gurgling sound. Disgusting.

In order to avoid seeing such a disgusting sight, Rhodes focused his attention on the Swamp Death Fortress.

This giant fortress is square in shape, about 800 yards high and 9,000 yards wide, and is covered with strange decaying matter.

He landed on the top of the giant castle, and dozens of black mud-like objects launched a fierce attack on him.

Rhodes didn't even look at them, he opened his soul field, and the ripples of [Destruction of Darkness] spread out. The black mud was instantly crushed, scattered on the ground, and turned into ashes.

[The soul of the rancid mud demon]

【Powerful Soul】

[Possessing precipitated shit]

[Possessing corrupted humanity]

[A mixture of feces, mud, flesh and blood, and dead souls was born under the influence of black mist after countless years. 】

Rhodes frowned slightly, forget about "sedimented shit", what is "corrupted human nature"? Why does this monster exist?

The Book of Knowledge also seemed quite hesitant: "Perhaps this monster is corrupted with a dead human core... No, no, dead humans have no humanity. Generally speaking, humanity will not be corrupted, but will only be consumed. Could it be Is this the blood god’s protection?”

Rhodes asked: "What's the use of corrupting human nature?"

The Book of Knowledge turned over the pages and said in a deep voice: "Corrupted human nature is a very special kind of rotten matter. Master, you know that human nature is a special substance that constitutes the soul. Without human nature, the soul has no feelings or emotions. , gradually becomes crazy, and eventually loses control and turns black and becomes a monster. Apart from dreams, very few people can separate humanity from the soul. Even in dreams, they use another method to obtain humanity."

"When the soul is corrupted and eroded, human nature will offset the pollution. Only in rare cases, human nature will be polluted. Once it is corrupted, it becomes a dark sediment that can gather more black mist. , accelerating the black mist to precipitate from the void. In the legendary world ruled by the black mist in the future, the earth will be made of corrupted human nature."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Then it's not a pure malignant pollutant?"

"Yes, Master, the best way is to pile it together and seal it."

"Seal? Can't it be destroyed?"

The book of knowledge shook its pages.

"Master, it is difficult to destroy corrupted human nature. Even if it is destroyed, black mist will be released from it. It does not make much sense and is a waste of power."

Rhodes felt a little heavy, but fortunately, dreams also have sealing power. The crystal wall on the soul altar is the source of the seal. He piled corrupted humanity in a corner and used the power of the crystal wall to seal it to avoid contaminating the dream.

Then, he walked towards the inside of the giant castle.

The interior of the Swamp Death Fortress is a complete workplace, like a mixture of a cesspit and a morgue. Feces and dead bodies from the entire Kingdom of God are gathered here and buried in the swamp.

There are no traces of battle here. It seems that when the end comes, people are desperate and have no resistance.

All the monsters inside the giant castle are rancid mud demons. It seems that only this kind of monster will be born in this area.

In the center of the giant castle, Rhodes found a broken crystal, which seemed to be something used to resist the black mist in the ancient era.

From the crystal, he felt a very faint breath of the Blood God. It seemed that the protective power of the crystal was given by the Blood God.

From this point of view, after the death of the Blood God, this area was undoubtedly swallowed up by the black mist.

Soon, the entire giant fortress was swept through by Rhodes. He didn't find many useful things, and he was forced to learn all kinds of knowledge about dealing with dead bodies, clearing feces pipes, and cleaning stools.

The only thing that was useful was that he found a diary in a stone solidified by psychic energy, which was written by the warden of this swamp death castle.

Most of the text is filled with worship of "the creator and guardian of Talanore", "the greatest god" and "the invincible apostle of life".

From these words, Rhodes learned that the Blood God has existed for at least 1,500 years, because "Tara Nor" was established 1,500 years ago. As its creator, the Blood God's life cannot be shorter than 1,500 years. .

However, isn't the limit of the true king's lifespan only 1,000 years?

Are the ancient gods different?

What’s more interesting is that the warden described the blood god’s establishment of the Kingdom of God this way: “He built a new hope out of the ruins of ruin and depletion.”

That is to say, 1,500 years before the end of the ancient era, another catastrophe of extinction occurred.

If the guess is correct, that disaster should have led to the fall of the ancient gods. After that, the black mist blocked the path of the gods and suppressed the level of power below the gods.

Therefore, at the end of the ancient era, there were only four righteous gods in total.

This diary also verified his suspicion. At the end of the diary, the warden wrote this.

"...One day, we will break the restriction of darkness, and the great Mu will break through all obstacles and become a true god."

"I believe that this day is not far away, as long as we can open the 'weird'..."

After this page, there was only a blood seal left in the diary, and there was no more record.

Around this time, the battle in the Giant's Court had begun. The Blood God fell into the abyss and lost the protection of the Blood God. The black mist drove straight in, and the divine kingdom of Taranor was destroyed.

After reading the diary, Rhodes felt a little heavy, but more confused.

"The Blood God is already one of the four true gods, but he is not yet a real god in the eyes of the warden. Is the ancient god the real god?"

"What does it mean to turn on 'weird'? Why can turning on 'weird' make the Blood God a real god?"

The book of knowledge turned over the pages, feeling very confused.

"Perhaps, when we find more clues, we will know what 'weird' refers to."

At this moment, Asa's voice suddenly sounded in his soul.

"Master, come and save me, I'm going to be eaten!"

Rhodes was shocked: "What did you say? What are you going to eat?"

"A monster, an extremely powerful monster! Its power of poop is greater than mine."

Rhodes almost burst out, but Asa was his right-hand man after all, and he still needed to master the space of evil thoughts, interpret the stone tablets of evil thoughts, and find more suitable paths for human beings.

He could only fly out of the castle immediately and fly in the direction of Asa.

Soon, after crossing the large swamp, Rhodes saw the mud rising into the sky, and the rancid smell that had been deposited for thousands of years almost suffocated him.

A monster a thousand times larger than the putrid mud demon was rolling in the mud. The filthy atmosphere spread and shrouded the area. Asa was firmly suppressed in the mud, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape.

"Owner."

he shouted miserably.

"Help me! It's eating my poop! Ahhhh!"

Rhodes immediately blocked his voice in his mind. With a click of his finger, a beam of destructive light shot through the air.

【Psychic Duo】

The spiritual torrent of more than 15 million kilomoons instantly penetrated the monster, but in the next moment, countless mud surged up and filled the hole.

Rhodes flicked his fingers, and countless superstar shuttles flew through the air, smashing it into a sieve, but in just an instant, it returned to its original state.

boom!

The monster ignored Rhodes in the sky and just attacked Asa more violently.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Asa was beaten in the mud and screamed miserably. Every time he was beaten, a dark brown substance fell out of his body.

"My shit, my shit ahhh!"

The book of the future is happy: "This idiot is really useless."

Rhodes didn't want Asa to be weakened too much, but he didn't want to get close to the monster, let alone use the Giant Divine Sword to kill it.

"This is the only way to use it."

Rhodes spread his fingers.

【Grasp of Destruction】

Invisible power gathered from all directions and instantly suppressed the monster. 15 million psychic powers were fully activated to suppress the monster's resistance. The invisible giant hand instantly crushed it into a ball of mud.

[Grip of Destruction] has a miraculous effect on such a shapeless monster!

Rhodes waved another palm.

【Killing Cannon】

The killing ripples hit the monster instantly.

Bang!

The mud ball exploded in mid-air, and a mixture of feces, mud, excrement, and dead flesh and blood was scattered all over the sky, like a dirty rainstorm.

[The soul of the super giant mud demon]

【Soul of God】

【Has 90,000 pieces of precipitated shit】

[Has 15,500 copies of corrupted humanity]

[A giant mixture formed from countless shit, mud, flesh and blood, and dead souls. After countless years, it was born under the influence of black mist and weirdness. 】

——

Rhodes' eyes were instantly attracted by this soul's description.

"Book, why was the super giant mud demon born under the influence of black mist and weirdness? What does this weirdness have to do with the weirdness in the diary?"

The Book of Knowledge also found it difficult to understand: "Master, this weirdness can actually affect the birth of monsters? Is it the source of some kind of pollution? But why does it affect the blood god's promotion to the ancient god?"

There were so many questions that Rhodes couldn't think clearly at the moment, so he temporarily put them behind his head. With a move of his wrist, Asala was brought up with his spiritual power.

He looked badly beaten, but in fact he was not seriously injured. It seemed that since they were both in the field of poop, they did very little harm to each other.

"Asa, what's going on?"

Asa seemed very discouraged: "I met it when I was looking for deeper and more primitive poop. It also followed the same path as me. It attacked me as soon as it saw me... Sure enough, the poop-devouring poop... The road is not easy to walk, so be careful at all times.”

The Book of the Future rolled on the floor with laughter. It had never been so happy, not even when it regained the power of the Book of Destiny: "The King of Shit Swallowing was beaten by shit while swallowing shit. This joke is really interesting. ”

Asa sneered, and his arrogance returned to this filthy soul: "Don't be too happy, Poshu, my growth is in front of you, but your growth is far away. One day, I will make you regret it."

After saying that, he broke away from Rhodes' hand and got into the mire again with a bang.

After a long time, he came out of the quagmire. His soul became even more turbid. The filthy yellow and deep darkness filled his soul. Even the book of knowledge couldn't help but exclaim: "What a powerful filth." force."

The puppet said softly: "The strength of the source law has exceeded 20 strong sources. Asa may soon become a special true king - using filth as the pulling force and himself as the source law, he will open up a new world." way."

The Book of the Future hummed: "What's so great? You're not just eating shit."

Although he said this, Rhodes clearly felt its guilty conscience. If Asa really became the king of poop swallowing first, its life would be difficult.

Of course, Rhodes didn't care. As long as he was around, the conflict between them would never escalate.

"Asa, this is the precipitated shit I obtained from my soul. It may be useful to you."

Asa said happily: "This is shit that contains power. It is a great supplement for me."

He took out 2 copies of the deified source substance from his soul body.

"Master, these are the deified source materials I found. They sank at the bottom of the swamp and were collected by the monster in a hard dung shell. It took me a long time to break them."

Rhodes said with slight dissatisfaction: "Is this what you call a lot of deified source matter?"

Asa hurriedly explained: "Two copies is a lot, and there are only nine copies of the Filthy Blood God."

Rhodes snorted and used his spiritual energy to take over the two deified source substances. He secretly decided not to touch them unless he washed them a hundred times, and at the same time gave Asa all the accumulated shit.

Asa hugged the mountain of shit happily, found an open space in his dream, lay down on it, and started eating.

After returning to Sagus City, Rhodes informed the great scholars Professor Binns and Professor Barrett of all his findings.

Professor Binns pondered: "It's strange that I didn't find any text related to 'weirdness' in the ancient city of Sa. Most of the ancient books left here discuss the 'Eternal Refuge' and the Star Marrow Altar, as well as a A being called 'the Lord'."

Professor Barrett rubbed his chin: "The strange thing is that according to our inference, this 'Lord' does not seem to be one of the four righteous gods. Is there any other powerful existence that can be called 'Lord' by a subordinate god?" '?"

Rhodes smiled awkwardly. There is no doubt that this "Lord" should be the previous Dream Lord. The "Eternal Refuge" and the Star Marrow Altar were also established by seven slave gods.

"Have you found any traces of the other three slave gods?"

Professor Binns shook his head: "No, but some texts mentioned that at the last moment of despair, they went to find the only hope."

After chatting for a while, Horus, Kai, Olivia and the Dark Moon Princess returned one after another.

Although they did not find the deified source material, they brought back many precious resources and obtained a lot of important information.

The most noteworthy among them is that - the ancient city of Olika, Trunk Mountain Fort and the Blood Red Ancient City all have descriptions of "weirdness". It seems to be some kind of special existence in the Kingdom of Talanor. As long as it can be opened It can break through the restrictions of the black mist.

In addition, Olivia and Princess Dark Moon also found the Blood God's sacrificial place in the Blood Red Ancient City. From the remaining information, they learned that the Blood God's fundamental strength had exceeded 15 points.

Rhodes was extremely surprised. He clearly remembered that there were only 3 roots in the Blood God's soul. Where were the 12 more?

The Book of Knowledge speculated: "Perhaps, in the endless years, the 12 fundamental sources have passed away."

"Is this possible? The Blood God has a divine source base. Is the divine source base also damaged?"

To Rhode's surprise, this guess may be correct, because there are records of the consumption of deified source matter in the sacrificial refining site. According to the remaining text, the Blood God's soul contains at least 15 deified source matter.

And Rhodes only got 9 souls.

Apparently, there are still 6 missing.

Olivia said: "After the ancient gods became gods, they seemed to need to continuously integrate deified source matter to strengthen the base of the source of the gods."

Horus said solemnly: "This is of course. The stronger the fundamental source, the more it needs to carry. Otherwise, it cannot bear the strong repulsive force in the sea of ​​sources, and the source will be degraded or even unquantified."

Everyone knows that he has the deepest experience of this.

Princess Dark Moon said softly: "The Blood God has maintained this state for at least more than 300 years. The training site was not used in the 300 years before its destruction."

Rhodes was lost in thought. Does this mean that the Blood God has reached the limit? The strength of 15 fundamental sources has touched the black mist's restriction.

He also noticed that there were exactly 15 copies of the deified source material used to carry it.

Does this mean that one piece of fundamental source requires one piece of deified source substance to carry it?

"In short, we need more deified source matter."

Kai concluded.

"Let's move on, there are still many secrets waiting for us in this kingdom of God."

Horus agreed: "As long as we continue to go deeper, these secrets will be revealed one by one."

Rhodes nodded, and everyone set off again.

In the next few days, they successively cleaned up many ruins.

Most of these ruins have "weird" records, but there is no detailed information.

I don’t know what “weirdness” is, where it is, or what its purpose is.

However, they did not gain anything. In addition to a large amount of resources, they also learned an important news, that is, there are many deified source materials in the Kingdom of God, which are prepared for the Blood God to break through the restrictions. , and also for the sake of being promoted to the Righteous God in the future.

This information ignited the fire in everyone's hearts, and they accelerated towards the depths of the Kingdom of Talanor.

This country is much larger than expected, and there is a layer of mysterious black mist above it that blocks prying eyes.

Only then did everyone understand that it was no wonder that neither the White Tower nor the Survey Corps had found this Kingdom of God before, nor had they found any danger.

Of course, the kingdom of Talanor is actually extremely dangerous.

With the deepening of the exploration, especially after crossing a certain line, the strength of the monsters suddenly increased. Some powerful existences that had been silent for countless years began to appear. There were many more powerful black mist symbionts, and many were extremely powerful. The fallen divine guard.

Affected by this, the pace of the legion slowed down.

But for the five top experts, these are not problems. They are still at the forefront, searching for ruins one after another.

Soon, they learned that the first divine city of the Taranor Divine Kingdom, the sacred city of Blood God Mu, was located in the southwest of the Divine Kingdom.

Moreover, most of the deified source materials stored in the Tara Nor God are in the First Divine City.

Everyone immediately explored to the southwest.

Horus was the first to discover its location, and then the four top experts arrived.

They stepped into this divine city together and began the most important exploration since the beginning of this operation.

——

In the sewer of the First Divine City.

Acker stood on the dry shit ground, concentrating on the rolling darkness in his hands.

When he saw the scene of five people entering the divine city, a sneer gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, your death has finally arrived."

"Especially you, Rhodes, I must make you kneel in front of me and beg me for forgiveness, but I will reject you coldly, torture you cruelly, and finally put you into my soul bottle, There will be no liberation forever,"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Amid the wild laughter, in the invisible distance, a huge black shadow slowly rose.
