MTL - The Last King of Darkness-Chapter 493 Old tragedy and new strength

However, everyone searched the temple for a long time, but found no clues. roundabout

Professor Barrett pondered: "My inference cannot be wrong, there must be some omissions."

But where is the omission?

Rhodes was thinking, suddenly, his spirit seemed to be touched by something, and he subconsciously looked at a huge altar.

It was a copper sacrificial altar covered with dirt, and a large number of religious utensils were placed on it.

Professor Binns deduced that the Kingdom of Stars is a system of political and religious integration only by using those religious tools. The Queen of Stars is the highest and only ruler and spiritual leader. place of prayer.

It is a pity that the objects with spirituality have long since decayed or dissipated, and most of the remaining ones are of little value.

But Rhodes' eyes locked on a skull. roundabout

It was placed in a corner of the altar, and there was still half a candle on top of the head. The thick white wax covered half of the head cover, and it looked no different from an ordinary candlestick.

However, Rhodes felt that something was attracting him.

He walked over unconsciously and touched the skull lightly.

Suddenly, the two empty eye holes burst into intense black light, and the black mist rose in the temple and gathered in the skull.

Mina screamed, "What happened?"

The space is shaking, the ground is trembling, the entire temple is trembling, dust and rotten things are constantly falling.

Rhodes knew that it was not good, and when he raised his right hand, the shimmer of spiritual energy flew away, and then transformed into a static state, dragging all four of them here. roundabout

After mastering the release of psionic energy, Rhodes has become much more convenient in doing things.

More black air rushed from all directions, covering their sight, and everyone's eyes were pitch black.

Rhodes opened his spiritual defense to form a spiritual field, and the light of the lantern shone in the field, protecting everyone.

After an unknown period of time, the vibration gradually stopped and the black mist fell, and everyone noticed that they had come to a brand new place.

Barrett recognized it immediately.

"This is the gap between the material world and the spiritual world. The inner temple was originally hidden here."

Mina looked around curiously, everything here seemed to be soaked under water, there was a strange fluctuating feeling, the space was very humid and full of water vapor. roundabout

There is no light source here, and there is no black mist, all rely on the lanterns they carry.

"Little Rhodes, how did we get in? Did you touch anything?"

Rhodes shook his head: "I don't know, I just touched a skull candlestick and was teleported here."

"Is the skull candlestick a mechanism?"

Professor Barrett pondered: "No, I have touched it too..."

"Does Rhode need to touch it?"

Rhode's heart moved, and he suddenly had a guess, and when he was about to ask the book of knowledge, it also spoke. roundabout

"Master, if I'm not mistaken, that skull, that skull... belonged to the previous master."

The tone of the book of knowledge is very complicated, with both nostalgia and loss, mixed joy and pain, as well as a trace of fear and sorrow.

The puppet stood aside, with a rare low tone: "I can feel that familiar breath..."

Rhode's heart sank.

The skull of the previous owner of the dream only responded to him. Is it because he is the successor of the dream?

So, this is his hiding place?

At a glance, Rhodes saw that the main hall was made of blue stone bricks, similar in style to the outer temple, but without embossing, decorations, and lamps, it looked quite simple, making him feel like he was in a dungeon. roundabout

But the next moment, he felt a strange calling, something drawing him from afar.

Dream fragments!

Rhodes realized in an instant that there were dream fragments here!

Was it collected by Hegeol?

"follow me."

Rhodes said, walking quickly to the right.

Everyone immediately followed, and Professor Barrett murmured: "Going in this direction? Well... there is a certain reason, its width and height are larger than other entrances, and the entrance hall presents a peculiar wedge shape. In the middle, this is the symbol of Zhengzhong and Wang...

Rhodes didn't pay attention to what he was saying, just followed his feeling.

After passing through a long corridor and several huge round halls, the five people stopped in front of a gate.

Professor Binns said softly, "This is the main hall."

A strong call came from inside the door, and Rhode instinctively stretched out his hand and touched the door.

In an instant, a huge black hole opened from the door, and an evil and decaying breath roared in. A **** hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed them, and quickly retracted.

The black hole disappeared, and the gate of the main hall remained unchanged.

Inside the main hall. roundabout

The five of them seemed to have fallen into a black quagmire, and the solid black enveloped the whole world. There was nothing here except darkness.

After the **** hand dropped them, they disappeared without a trace.

Strong fear rose from her heart, and Mina couldn't help approaching Rhodes: "This, what is this place?"

Rhodes looked serious and didn't answer, just said: "Professor Barrett, take them away, their protective items may not be able to withstand the next battle."

Professor Barrett nodded, protected them with spiritual energy, and stepped back.

Immediately afterwards, a skull gradually emerged from the darkness.

It was an ominous black, with a putrid goo filling the black crevices. roundabout

It is the dark stars.

A powerful oppressive force came, this place was not a dream, the power of the dark stars unfolded without any scruples, and the whole dark world seemed to be rushing towards him.

Professor Barrett exclaimed: "It's the dark stars! My God, it's the dark stars, how did we meet them here? It's the undead of the stars, the will of the dead stars, the super-powerful black mist symbiosis, causing disasters The important factor of bad astrology...run, run fast..."

Although Mina was trembling, she couldn't help retorting: "However, its psychic level doesn't seem to be particularly high..."

"Idiot!" Barrett yelled, "It has at least ten sources in its soul. It is different from those idiots who only have psychic power. We are not opponents, run away..."

"Don't worry." Rhode said calmly, "Leave it to me."

boom! roundabout

Red light flashed on his body, powerful spiritual energy surged up, and misty condensation spread on his body, like gas, liquid, light, and fire.

Professor Binns's squinting eyes suddenly widened, and the turbid eyeballs burst into light, as if he saw something incredible.

Amides exclaimed: "This, is this the Red God of War, Beacreus..."

Mina and Professor Barrett were speechless, they just stared blankly at the huge red spirit body expanding.

The psionic energy spread wave after wave, and a huge orange-red spirit body fought from the darkness.

It was at least a hundred yards high, and it was burning with boiling red psionic energy, and the red light crackled around it like a battle robe.

It is [Giant God]! roundabout

The spiritual energy was burning rapidly, and unrivaled power collided in his soul. Rhodes knew that if the battle was not ended as soon as possible, once the spiritual energy was exhausted, he would consume his soul to maintain the existence of the Red God of War.

If the battle is a little longer, you need to use [Blank], after the effect of [Blank] ends, he will die and can only rely on the "Resurrection Stone" to be reborn.

It must be done quickly.

Never waste divinity!

With a thought of Rhodes, a powerful spiritual energy erupted instantly, and the red **** of war rushed forward like lightning, punching the dark starry skull with a heavy blow.

boom!

The entire space vibrated, like a thunderbolt hit in mid-air, and the strong shock wave pushed away like a sea tide. roundabout

The dark star was blown away, but Rhodes clearly saw that its skull was still intact.

The red giant flew up again, and its giant fists fell like a violent storm. The continuous rolling thunder covered everything, and the tsunami-like spiritual energy fluctuations overwhelmed their perception.

Everyone was stunned. Although they knew Rhode's tough record, they didn't know much about Rhode's real strength.

Now it seems that they seriously underestimated Rhodes' strength.

He is no longer just a guardian. He can become a preparer of the Son of Fire not only because of his achievements, but also because of his strength.

The red God of War clings to the dark stars, constantly launching fierce attacks.

Dark Stars tried to push the giant away, but its condensed invisible big hands couldn't hold him at all, and the red giant tore it apart with a few blows. roundabout

The Skeleton King's eyes flashed with purple light, and more invisible hands descended from the sky. At the same time, the dark field opened up, and the dark stars tried to manipulate the power of the source to attack the giant.

But all of this is useless to Rhodes. No matter how many invisible big hands come, the red giant will not be affected, and even the speed of the giant fist falling is not slowed down by half a second.

And the existence of the giant **** itself is the domain, and the power of the source cannot manipulate its rules. Once any changes involve it, it will be invalid.

Professor Binns murmured: "Qiang Yuan, Qiang Yuan, it really is him..."

Seeing Mina's puzzled eyes, Professor Barrett explained: "The existence of the red giant itself is the result of a strong source, and it is naturally impossible for ordinary source laws to invade its domain."

Mina asked in a low voice: "Then what if the enemy is also a strong source?"

Professor Barrett's face darkened: "That's a king-level monster... The result of the collision depends on the wrestling of the souls of both parties." Lan

"The soul itself... isn't psionic energy?"

Professor Barrett smiled faintly: "Psychic energy is the power of the soul, but the power of the soul is not necessarily psionic energy. It is a more primitive and powerful energy that comes from ourselves. Do you understand that?"

Seeing Mina's confused expression, Amides sighed: "Mina, you are obsessed with the new path, but you can't forget what you have learned before. The soul is the same as a person. A muscular man must be stronger than a man." Just as a thin child is stronger, so a stick swung by a strong man will do more damage than a stick swung by a child."

"The strength of the strong man is the strength of the soul, and his stick is the spiritual power."

"And the contest between domains is a hand-to-hand fight between a strong man and a strong man. Whoever exhausts his strength first, whose domain can determine the rules in that space."

Mina's understanding of strong men was very deep, and she immediately understood: "What happens after winning? Can you directly kill the enemy?"

"It's hard." Amides shook his head: "Unless the source law you control is death and destruction, generally speaking, you use the source law to slightly change the laws of space to make the battle beneficial to you, such as prohibiting flying and prohibiting teleportation." .”

"The stronger and the more changes that violate the law of origin, the more power of the soul and the law of origin will be needed, and they will also face the correction of the sea of ​​origin. Unless they are kings, few people use the field to fight, and most of them are defensive nature."

Mina thought for a moment, and then asked: "The little Rhodes clearly has the upper hand, why not use the domain?"

"Not everyone is suitable for fighting in the field. It has a high demand for souls. In many cases, only using your own source law to fight is the most efficient."

Mina didn't understand half of what she heard. She was now focused on her new path, and she was not interested in these things. She was only thinking about how to improve the 59th type of construct so that she could fight against the dark stars in front of her.

The battle between Rhodes and Dark Stars did not last long.

As an old opponent, Rhodes has a very deep understanding of the dark stars.

He is also familiar with its hard skull, and knows very well where its weaknesses are. roundabout

The red giant only focused on the weak point, and finally lifted its skull before its spiritual energy was exhausted, and smashed the big eyeballs inside with a punch.

When the dark star itself was blown up, it no longer had the power to resist.

In the astonishing hissing sound, the dark stars fell down, turning into countless black dust and dissipating in the air.

A huge cloud of gray air flew over and sank into his chest.

And judging from some traces, this space hole is connected to the high-level spiritual world.

This is a very rare situation. The high-level spiritual world is a very mysterious area for the current king city, and it is difficult for them to observe it directly. However, many disturbances in the spiritual world have their roots in it. roundabout

The source of pollution in the temple may be that void.

Those weird spirit world monsters should have spread from here, including that powerful dark star.

Rhodes speculated that this void might be related to Hegeol. The broken dream had stayed in the spirit world for too long, and the monsters that had attracted it had come to the material world through the connection between the dream and its master.

Probably after Hegeol's death, the void continued for a while.

It wasn't until the dream and the owner of the dream were completely lost that everything returned to calm.

Afterwards, the shattered dream wandered in the spirit world for thousands of years before reviving again, choosing Rhodes as his master, and once again embarked on the road of reunion after a broken mirror.

The only question is, why does Hegeol's soul stay in the dream, and why is it full of hatred? roundabout

Where is Hegeol's body? Who made the candlestick out of his skull?

With the reverence that the Starry Queen has for Hegeol, it is impossible for him to be treated like this.

Rhodes thought about it, and suddenly thought that "The Clock of the Celestial Sphere" can not only find dream fragments, but also find strange shadows.

Why is there this function?

Is this related to the strange shadow eroding the Star Queen and destroying the last hope of the Star Kingdom?

Could it be that Hegeol has the ability to prophesy, and he added this function when he encountered the destruction of the Starry Kingdom before he died, trying to find the strange shadow in advance and destroy it?

Rhodes told the Book of Knowledge and the puppet his thoughts, but they couldn't be sure. roundabout

"Master, the reason why the black mist is so powerful that it cannot be destroyed is because in the original black mist, there are powerful monsters hidden. Above the black mist symbiosis, it is the incarnation of black mist. You can regard it as the evolution of pure black mist. Horror monsters, and above the black mist incarnation, there are extremely terrifying, extremely powerful, and extremely distorted black mist primordial bodies, they are the source of pollution for walking, they are terrifying black holes, and they are the crystallization of black mist condensation."

"And the strange shadow is a special incarnation of black mist. It floats in the depths of the black mist, just like the legendary apostle of the **** of black mist. Whenever it appears, human beings will face terrible disasters."

"This is the Great Terror, a disaster that can lead to extinction, and the Strange Shadow is one of the Great Terrors."

After listening to it, Rhodes was basically sure that the former owner must have foreseen the future destruction of the Starry Kingdom, so he took great pains to add the function of searching for strange shadows to the Bell of the Celestial Sphere.

I just don't know why I didn't have time to tell the Queen of Stars.

With all kinds of doubts, everyone walked out of the main hall.

In the ensuing search, they found a lot of valuable things, including some well-preserved rare materials and barely usable items, and learned about the internal situation of the Starry Kingdom. roundabout

Professor Binns has basically confirmed that the main body of Starry Kingdom is the refugees from Asdegas, the city of hope, and Sigures, the capital of all capitals.

But then, he found some texts, and the common memory on them was a royal city called "Flowers on the Rin Bank, Northern Fortress Belgril".

Rhode's heart beat suddenly, and he remembered.

This royal city seems to be related to Hegeol.

Isn't his title "Prince of the North"?

However, there is no other information in the text other than remembrance, and it is not known when it fell.

Afterwards, they searched the inner temple several times, and after confirming that there were no omissions, they returned to the outer temple from the original location. roundabout

— This is the entry and exit point deduced by Professor Barrett, who is well versed in the structure of space.

After returning to the outer temple again, Professor Binns suddenly said something.

"There's a dungeon."

Rhodes was like being stabbed by a needle, and said in surprise: "Dungeon?"

"Yes!" Professor Binns said affirmatively: "I wasn't sure before, but after I came out, I was sure. The difference between the inner temple and the outer temple is that the other is a dungeon, where they imprisoned an important person." Prisoner."

What?

Rhodes was stunned for a while, and various scenes came to mind. roundabout

The inner temple is indeed like a dungeon, especially near the main hall.

But why did they imprison Hegeol?

There was no way the Starry Queen could hold him.

Unless, something happened.

Professor Binns said: "There are still hidden things in the outer temple. I am proficient in architectural structure. There are some differences between the inner and outer temples, which made me realize a problem that I hadn't noticed before."

He walked west.

Rhodes conveniently put Hegeol's skull into the dreamland, turned around and followed. roundabout

Professor Binns came to a high wall and gently pushed a few bricks on the high wall.

There was only a rumbling sound, and an extremely heavy door was opened in the distance.

"As expected of Professor Binns!" Rhodes was surprised and delighted: "How do you know?"

Professor Binns pointed to his head and walked away.

Everyone quickly came to the deepest part of the Great Temple, only to see that the original wall had been opened, and a more magnificent hall appeared in front of them.

Mina lost her voice: "How is this possible? I clearly calculated the size of the building space..."

Professor Barrett frowned and said: "This is not a normal space. The space here has been compressed and folded. The Starry Kingdom's accomplishments in space research are really amazing."

"Let's go in," said Professor Binns curtly.

Rhodes did his part to walk in the forefront.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw a line of extremely dazzling gold characters at a glance.

"The stars will never die, and the kingdom will last forever!"

Apparently, this is the place where the great star priests of the Starry Kingdom used large-scale prayers.

Continuing to walk deeper into the hall, Rhodes noticed that the decorations here are extremely luxurious, but most of them have been decayed, with words praising the stars engraved everywhere.

Between the lines, Rhodes could feel that kind of brilliant self-confidence. roundabout

Until they walked into a hidden side hall.

It has a very ingenious concealment device, but the decay of thousands of years has already made it invalid, so the weird structure is very conspicuous.

The first sentence in the side hall is.

"The stars are dimming, and mankind will eventually perish."

Rhode's face sank, and the familiar tone made him think of Doomsday Cultists for a moment.

Doomsday cultists actually mixed in with the highest priests of the Starry Kingdom?

Faintly, Rhodes had an explanation for the previous question. roundabout

They began to search the side hall, which was deeper than expected, with many hidden places and hopeless slogans everywhere.

But it is a pity that time has passed for too long, and all valuable things have been annihilated, only the words carved on the stone are still there.

Just when Rhodes was disappointed, Professor Binns dug out a stone slab from an unimaginable hidden corner. The handwriting on it was vague but barely decipherable.

"...Disaster, this is really a disaster. When that evil guy brought us a serious disaster, he actually said that we will be destroyed?"

"...No, it's impossible. We can't let him go on like this anymore. We need to lock him up. Her Majesty is entering the stage. When Her Majesty is out of the customs, we will say that he has died suddenly. The injury is so serious that no one will be punished." suspicious."

"...that **** star priest was transferred by us. He has a weird relationship with the queen and that guy. We can't let him here."

"...Master Priest of the main star, what an idiot, hahaha." Lan

"Ha, it worked. It was easier than I expected. I finally solved the biggest obstacle that threatened the Starry Kingdom. Her Majesty the Queen will protect her people forever. Our rule is as eternal as the stars! Nothing can be destroyed. It is alarmist talk, creating soil for the breeding of doomsday cultists."

After a large mess of text.

"I will be the glory of all ages and be enshrined on the Starlight Pillar."

Another trace of a large mold lake.

After that, the handwriting changed from fierce and high-spirited to sad and low, as if pierced by a huge wound.

"Whoa, what did I do? I'm an idiot, God, I... no, I'm going to tell the queen."

"We have a traitor among us!"

The handwriting stopped abruptly.

Only a few ominous drops of blood and a statement-like line were left behind.

"Aitos, a doomsday cultist, was executed by capital punishment."

At the bottom, there is a paragraph of text that is completely different from the handwriting above.

—Amon, the evil ghost of the source, carefully presented for the new master of the dream, a theater of art and aesthetics, I hope you will always laugh and be with you in joy.

A strong chill rose from the bottom of Rhodes' heart.

This line of text uses dream language, and the word "dream" is very vague, and it was only formed when Rhodes looked at it. roundabout

No one could understand it except him.

Even if they can understand, they lack the key information, and they can't deeply understand what the above line of text represents.

Rhodes felt the despair of Hegeol before he died.

This is a poor creature who was bewitched by the Doomsday Cultists. He personally killed Hope and planted the seeds of disaster for the destruction of the Starry Kingdom.

Perhaps, Hegeol once had a glimmer of life, but was eventually snuffed out by the Doomsday Cultists.

After realizing his mistake, he was framed by the real doomsday believers, became a scapegoat, and died tragically on the execution ground.

And their leader, the evil ghost of the source, Amon, even left a message on the slate, telling him the whole process provocatively. roundabout

At this moment, Rhodes' hand bones were almost crushed. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com

These doomsday believers succeeded. When the great terror came, they dug up the sewers of Starry Sky City and dug a hole out of the barrier.

The Starry Sky City was destroyed, the Starry Kingdom was destroyed, and hundreds of millions of living beings were turned into bones and monsters.

good!

Amon, the evil ghost of the source, I remember you.

Rhodes didn't need to think, he knew that this Amon, like Asa, was the reincarnation of ancient evil thoughts.

He must not be dead, maybe he is lurking in Trorian King City. roundabout

He might be the doomsday cultist behind the Battle of Starry Sky City.

I will definitely find you out!

Rhodes looked towards the direction of Trorian King City and clenched his fists.
