The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1553 - 736: The Path Forward (Part 3)

Amid Horus’s heavy coughing, Rod chuckled dryly, "Well, I just thought that maybe having the sun and moon together might have a special bonus..."

Kai and Olivia didn’t pay much attention, thinking Rod was just changing the subject to avoid being struck by Horus’s words.

Soon, they set out with their respective battle groups and the latest tactical goggles provided by the university scholars.

They were in such a hurry that they didn’t even rest, heading straight towards Saint Reel.

Afterward, Rod met with Great Priest Megan and the scholars again, fully acknowledging their merits, especially Megan’s hidden troops of Calier. Their combat strength was so strong that it was undoubtedly significant on such a battlefield.

Megan proudly said, "Sir Rod, I told you, Calier wouldn’t disappoint you. I’ve found the direction to break through the Commander, and there are four paths for the Black Inheritor and the Unawakened to surpass this barrier. Their representatives stand before you: Annie, Geoffrey, Wawa, and Amora."

With a head of golden hair, Annie raised her arm with a smile, the power of the Steel Dragon and the characteristic of Light Energy Aggregation flashing at her fingertips: "Rod, I’ll surpass you. I’m the one who will save the world."

Geoffrey, with a head of snake-like hair, said solemnly, "Sir Rod, you will witness a miracle appear with me."

The chubby Wawa hesitated to speak, while Amora bowed respectfully to Rod, "Sir Rod, my power will always be at your service."

Rod nodded; these were familiar faces. Seeing their growth made him very pleased. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Great, I hope you can go further on a path never taken before. Megan, if you need any Soul materials, I can provide them for you."

Megan said confidently, "I will never fail your expectations."

After they left, Mina, who was already a prospective scholar, complained, "Rod, what do you mean? Are we not as good as them?"

Rod smiled, "Sister Mina, of course, I know you’re the best, but you know Calier, their emotions are quite unstable."

Mina’s expression finally turned bright again, "That’s more like it. This is our most advanced Spiritual Power Technology, containing unimaginable wisdom."

Scholar Amides smiled, "The key is that we have broken through the parallel technology of the Spiritual Crystal, solving the resonance problem caused by too many Spiritual Crystals operating in parallel. When 300,000 Super Spiritual Crystals complete the parallel and super-spiriting process, the War Magic Statue will have more than 10 million kilogramos of Spiritual Power Strength. While it’s only for defense, it makes the War Magic Statue the most invincible presence on the battlefield."

The scholars smiled happily, and Mina said proudly, "Rod, I know your influence now. As the only wise and truth-understanding man among the Trolian upper echelons, you should know that this is the final road to save the world. So, you know what to do, right?"

Rod said discontentedly, "Sister Mina, you know my influence. Why don’t you show me a little more respect when speaking?"

Mina raised her eyebrows, "Have you grown wings? Forgot how I used to teach you pistol shooting wholeheartedly? Even though your growth is mostly due to your efforts, didn’t I have any merit at all?"

Rod rubbed his forehead, finding these old acquaintances too annoying, always stuck in past impressions, and sighed, "Alright, alright, I understand."

Mina smiled softly and leaned close to his ear, "Come find your sister when you have time. I’ll teach you real pistol shooting."

Rod’s heart skipped a beat, looking at Mina.

Mina’s sparkling eyes held a mischievous yet slightly resentful look, and she pinched him hard, "You naughty boy, not visiting me for so long. Have you forgotten me because you’re surrounded by beauties?"

Rod chuckled awkwardly, "Well, Sister Mina, you know, the great battle is approaching, and I don’t have time..."

"And now you do? We agree then."

Mina blew a breath in his ear, gave a charming smile, and left with her teachers.

Suppressing his restless emotions, Rod turned his attention back to his duties.

After arranging for some personnel to repair the damage in Great Dragon City, he instructed other combatants to gradually return to the Royal City or the other three major cities.

The Great Dragon City, being one of the four main gates of Trolian, no longer needed such a concentration of forces after the Blood God had fallen.

With all matters finally arranged, Rod’s efficient actions garnered endless praise, even Horus changed his view of him, for the first time acknowledging that he had the makings of a human hero.

What’s left is just the waiting.

Once he confirmed there were no oversights, Rod left Great Dragon City and returned to the Royal City.

There were still countless questions waiting for him to face with the King.

It’s time.

Rod thought.

Uncover the truth of the past and find the path for humanity’s future.

Trolian was like a giant ship carrying humanity, navigating the endless dark sea, where direction was most important.

And the moment he stepped out of Great Dragon City, infinite golden light flashed before his eyes.

Defeating the Ancient God, lifting the crisis, and saving humanity’s Divinity was about to happen!
