The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 831 - 456 Maybe There Really Will Be a Miracle

After clearing the source of the disaster, the battlefield gradually became normalized.

The Spiritual Energy in the Starry Sky City area quieted down, no longer violent, and even the tumultuous Spiritual Energy currents disappeared, allowing non-First Level Combatants to enter this area.

A large number of logistical and medical personnel arrived at Star Ring Town, bringing ample supplies and logistical support. Master builders and defense masters began further developing this stronghold to better fulfill its base duties.

However, combat tasks are still limited to First Level Combatants, with only a few Second Level Combatants allowed to join the battle.

The Investigation Legion’s actions are no longer restricted, as a large number of high-rank investigators and elite investigation squads stationed themselves at Star Ring Town, wearing unified gray-green attire and conspicuous Investigation Legion insignia, risking life and limb in the dangerous battlefield to provide the most accurate intelligence.

The battle became well-organized, with detailed investigation of monsters’ types, levels, Spiritual Power Strength, and presence of Sources. Horus, considering various factors, dispatched personnel for clean-up, and operations ran smoothly with few surprises.

For everyone, this is a good thing.

Except for Rod.

His Divinity visibly decreased, and although his performance remained outstanding in conventional battles, his importance was far less than before, resulting in naturally less Divinity gained.

What’s worse, with the battlefield’s transparency, Rod realized that Divinity filled this area, present in every fight, yet he could only obtain a small portion.

Nothing is more painful than having something close at hand yet out of reach.

Upon returning to Star Ring Town, Rod was filled with inner turmoil, wishing he could transform into thousands and harvest all Divinity in one go, but that’s impossible.

This agony is truly unbearable.

To make matters worse, even though Horus and Luo Weiya didn’t disclose specific battlefield conditions, just observing the threat indicators on the Fog Disk and the speed at which they are cleared made it apparent they cannot be completed before the Bright Festival.

This means that in the Starry Sky City battle, they will inevitably fight while facing enemy threats from both within and outside.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Rod has far greater expectations for the Starry Sky City battle than anyone else.

The mysterious and powerful Starry Queen, what is her relation to the Dream Realm, what will the Queen’s soul be like, how much Divinity would be gained from defeating her, assisting the Trolians in capturing the Holy Fire Seed, how much Divinity that would yield, and countless questions await him to unravel.

Furthermore, the Starry Queen is crucial for him to ignite the next Great Star.

The power of the Giant God is unquestionable. It can be imagined that another Great Star, Truth, wouldn’t be inferior.

If he can possess two Great Stars, coupled with immense Divinity, the chances of victory against Soul Devouring King’s invasion would undoubtedly increase greatly.

Therefore, the Starry Sky City battle cannot face any mishaps.

However, the Royal City has yet to make any changes, seemingly intending to continue fighting like this.

Rod could only consult Horus.

Since Fire Son Luo Weiya returned, Horus finally breathed a sigh of relief, devoting most of his energy to healing the wounded, with the new technique proposed by Rod proving to be exceptionally useful, advancing soul surgery significantly.

Every time Horus performed soul surgery, the Cult watched intently, with medical practitioners continuously expressing their astonishment, gasping in admiration, no matter how many times they witnessed it.

The Cult under the Holy Church serves as the primary medical force of the Royal City, with central medical practitioners being the highest-ranking medical experts within the Royal City, most being students of Horus. Allowing them to observe also served as an educational purpose.

Such a refined technique will inevitably be widely promoted in the Royal City, saving many lives.

Every central medical practitioner clearly understands the significance it represents, and some were moved to tears, grieving for the souls they once wished to save but couldn’t.

Rod’s reputation soared to reverence among them, as they each would salute him by removing their hats upon seeing him.

The matter was already perfect at this point, but central medical practitioners still included a familiar face of Rod’s - Aunty Youse, who, upon her suggestion and after receiving unanimous agreement from the medical practitioners, officially named this significant new technique:

"Black Bucket Technique"

To commemorate the immortal merits of the great Black Bucket Lord Rod.

Despite Rod’s frustration, he was too busy to argue; as Alan said, once he becomes the human hero, he can change it however he wishes.

Of course, becoming the legendary supreme "human hero" still left Rod with a long path ahead, with the Starry Sky City battle being the greatest hurdle on this path.

Upon hearing Rod’s words, even Horus’s wooden expression showed worry.

"Rod, the Royal City doesn’t wish to leave threats unresolved, but we’ve used our combat strength to the fullest extent possible, entering the most contracted defensive state, abandoning vast territories, and providing only so much combat power."

Rod questioned, "What about the core army? We used the core army in attacking Storm Pass, why not here? Nearly thirty thousand warriors in the Resonance Plate represent invincible strength."

Horus shook his head slightly.

"Rod, the core army cannot be used lightly; it’s a needle that concentrates power at one point, able to pierce through solid points but unable to eliminate enemies from all around. That’s why, during the Black Tide, we never used the core army."
