Chapter 388 The Real Human Hero
Latest website: The moment the stars finished shining, the blue light that penetrated the entire spiritual world disappeared, and there was an illusion that the sky was shrouded in dark clouds.
The dispersed black mist reunited, covering the distant starry sky.
The ancient door is closed again, the strange feeling disappears, and everything returns to normal.
The changes in the material world were not that obvious, but everyone could faintly feel that the darkness was getting stronger, the rising fire began to fall back, and the black mist gradually became thicker.
Rhodes, who was exhausted to the extreme, had no time to comprehend and fell into the rocking chair of the House of God, falling into a dreamless sleep.
When he woke up again, everything had returned to the state before the stars came.
Rhodes stood up and stretched. He felt refreshed and energetic. Thunder-like power rolled through his body, and most of his spiritual energy was restored.
Looking around, the book of knowledge was lying on its back in the room. It was sleeping soundly. The pages of the book were shaking with its spiritual breathing. It seemed that it was very tired.
The doll fell lifelessly beside the stone platform, and its will was still controlling the phantom in the Hall of Fire, as if it wanted to know more about this surviving human civilization.
Rhodes walked out of the House of God and couldn't help but smile when he saw the crystal wall full of souls on the Soul Altar not far away.
Looking at the obelisk again, the smile became even bigger.
In these seven days, after all consumption was taken into account, he gained a total of 125 points of divinity!
Among them, the single income of Star City is the most dazzling, with 40 points obtained in one time, accounting for one-third of the total.
This harvest is not unprofitable.
In just seven days, half of the divinity that had been worked so hard for so long was achieved. It must be said that the efficiency of the spiritual world attack is really extraordinary.
But if the stars weren't shining, he wouldn't be able to use it like this. The divinity would have been consumed long ago.
This opportunity is really great!
Rhodes was extremely happy.
His divinity now reached 290, almost equaling the divinity consumption of igniting [Giant Power].
After that, whether it is to use divinity to deal with crises or to use divinity to enhance one's own combat power, it is feasible.
These 290 points of divinity were what he relied on to survive the nightmare night.
Hum.
Rhodes couldn't help but smile.
Come on, come on, no matter what kind of weird and twisted existence it is, it's impossible to defeat me!
I am the destroyer of darkness!
Wow ha ha ha ha!
boom!
There was a sudden tremor in the dream, and Rhodes' laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at the ominous side of the obelisk in disbelief, which emitted a strong red light.
"what happened?"
A bad premonition came to Rhodes' mind
"No way, did I do something else?"
The obelisk's portentous side is where invasion is predicted, and its red light is never good.
Both the book of knowledge and the doll were awakened by the strange movement in the dream and ran over.
The dazzling red light flashed, covering most of the dream.
The Book of Knowledge fanned the pages and shouted wildly: "Idiot Master, what have you done?"
Rhodes replied confusedly: "I don't know, I just brag and cheer myself up..."
The puppet said calmly: "Book of Knowledge, you cannot question the master like this."
The Book of Knowledge said angrily: "You know nothing, Avro. This master is stupid and stupid. Without me, the dreamland would have been... ugh."
Rhodes raised his middle finger, and the Book of Knowledge changed the answer at the speed of light.
"It must have become stronger a long time ago."
Rhodes snorted, turned around and asked, "Aphro, do you know what happened?"
The puppet said calmly: "It was the source feedback caused by the disturbance that intensified the invasion. We used spiritual strikes too many times. The disturbance was superimposed on everything and exceeded the critical value. After the shining of the stars ended, the source feedback spread immediately. It has taken effect, and after the red light ends, the invasion time should be greatly shortened.”
Rhodes frowned: "Is your judgment accurate?"
The puppet's tone remained unchanged and said calmly: "To be precise, my soul has recovered a lot and I have remembered many things. Fighting against the black mist is an instinct rooted in my memory. Only the loss of my soul can make me forget it... Master, I still need more soul and spirit.”
"How much?"
"Twenty million souls and twenty thousand spirits every day."
In the past, this was an unimaginable number, but for Rhodes now, it is not particularly difficult.
Not to mention that he had just completed a soul feast. The harvested souls and their decomposition products were very rich and could fully support its consumption.
"Okay." Rhodes waved his hand and agreed, "You can eat as long as you don't have enough to find me."
The doll bowed slightly: "Yes, Master."
Off to the side, if the Book of Knowledge had teeth, it would have been chewed hundreds of times.
But the soul fragment the doll obtained last time was very large. Its soul integrity has far exceeded its own, and it really needs so many soul resources to restore it.
Moreover, from an invasion perspective, the more powerful the puppet, the better.
But the book of knowledge is very unpleasant.
It was obviously the one who came first, and it was obviously the one who restored the soul first, but the fragment was a little smaller and it couldn't take in so many resources. The owner was still very poor at the time, so it had to choose the most economical but longest way to recover. soul.
It has paid so much for its master, but why did things become like this?
Gaining divinity, recovering dreams, and growing the master are obviously three joys, but why can't it feel any of them?
The Book of Knowledge was very unhappy. It believed that all this was because it did not recover more souls, which allowed the broken puppet to take the lead and steal the spotlight.
It silently made up its mind that as long as it gets the dream fragments in the Kingdom of Light, no matter how much it recovers, it will definitely eat twice as much as that broken doll!
Rhodes didn't know what the Book of Knowledge was thinking, he just stared at the red light uneasily.
About a quarter of an hour later, the red light gradually fell, and the red letters on the omen surface appeared.
The countdown has indeed been shortened!
It was originally 33 days, and then 9 days passed, so it should be 24 days.
Now, there are only 12 days left.
The urgency of the invasion suddenly hit his heart, and Rhodes couldn't help but clenched his fists.
The Book of Knowledge was the first to say: "Master, don't panic, what you have to do next is to fully improve your strength, accumulate the gains during this period, and transform it into actual strength."
Rhodes nodded and asked the key question: "How to use divinity?"
The Book of Knowledge pondered for a moment.
"Spiritual strikes cannot hit targets inside the dream. We can only hit them the moment the invasion arrives, maybe three or four times."
"The Divine Blade consumes 30 points of divinity and has strong restraint against the Black Mist Symbiote. It is a must."
"In addition, consuming divine energy greatly strengthens the power of dreams, creating unprecedented suppression of monsters."
"To be on the safe side, we need to leave at least 250 divinity points to deal with this invasion."
Rhodes' heart sank. This number was far higher than he thought.
If too much divinity is used against enemies, his growth will be slowed.
You know, igniting another big star [Truth] requires 10 soul firewood, and igniting [Soul Burner] also requires 9 soul firewood.
Whether it is a strike from the spiritual world, [Sense of God], [Frigid Blue], [Stone of Resurrection], or [Powerful Soul Ashes], they all require divinity.
290 points of divinity may seem like a lot, but if you actually use it, it will be consumed in an instant.
At this time, the doll suddenly said: "Master, by the time of the invasion, my existing soul should be fully restored. I can withstand more divinity, and my fighting posture will be stronger."
The Book of Knowledge twisted the page in dissatisfaction: "That's 255 points. In that case, we only have 35 points of divinity left to freely use."
Rhodes' heart sank. After his spiritual power broke through a certain limit, he could only ignite the stars in their full state.
He can no longer go back to the past circle, but in the current circle, 35 points of divinity cannot ignite any stars.
In other words, he will not be able to possess the tenth star before the invasion is over.
The puppet said calmly: "Master, although you cannot ignite new stars, you can improve your combat power, master more skills and combat skills, obtain powerful items and resources from humans, and find more dream fragments. "
"Yes." The Book of Knowledge rarely refuted it, "If we can easily eliminate the invaders, we can save a lot of divinity."
Rhodes nodded, understanding what it meant.
There is only one thing to do next, and that is to become stronger!
He glanced at the numbers on the top of the obelisk, which read:
Soul Strength: 1502000
Soul Star: 9
Human nature: 21.91 million
Divinity: 290
Soulless souls: 510 million
Obelisk: 1 Source
Soul Altar: 3 very great souls, 21 great souls (including 3 sources), 123 very powerful souls (including 2 sources), 1815 other souls
Spirituality: 51201
Storage: 10 Nightmare Fuel, 119891 Soul Residues, 6 Flowers of Humanity, omitted.
Special items: 8 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Immortal Spirit, 1 Twisted Scale, 3 Bells of Light
——
The Flower of Humanity is a bit lacking...the Star Mark is used too much.
Rhodes thought as his soul fell from the dream and returned to the material world.
The first thing he has to do is to perform a psychic upgrade ceremony.
It is not a problem for spiritual energy to always leak like this. Not only will it cause a lot of damage, it will also be very detrimental to his soul. What makes Rhodes most annoyed is that the fluctuations of spiritual energy that are emitted all the time are as eye-catching as light bulbs, no matter what Wherever he went, people covered their eyes and shouted.
"It's so dazzling! Whose psychic power is it?"
"Have you had enough? My eyes are blind!"
Doomsday cultists can always rely on this to find him and present him with all kinds of indescribable things in various imaginable ways.
This has simply become the biggest haze for Rhodes during this period.
The Royal City does not pay attention to this matter. They think that Rhodes has been tested in the sewer for a long time and is not afraid of a few pieces of shit. The doomsday cultists want to pollute Rhodes's mind in this way and cause his soul to darken. Is it wrong? Might be successful.
Therefore, precious manpower and material resources were not used to protect Rhodes from being disturbed.
Of course, under pressure from Rhodes, Lucian, the director of the Internal Affairs Judgment Office, was still trying his best to hunt down the doomsday cultists, but they were getting dizzy in the sewers and made little progress.
Rhodes had no time to pay attention to these flies. Getting rid of them was the best result.
The upgrading ceremony of the tenth-level psychic power is a very high-level ceremony, and its preparation takes a very long time. However, due to Rhodes' special situation, the Royal City specifically approved the expedited process.
There were at least 30,000 support staff working specifically on the event, and it was ready when Rod proposed performing the ritual.
On the day of the ceremony, the Royal City sent three guardians to assist, and Archbishop Horus was present in person.
Of course, it is Miss Mina who presides over the ceremony. A lot of practical experience shows that the success rate of the ceremony will be much higher if the same person holds it.
Otherwise, with Miss Mina's level, it would be impossible for her to participate in a ceremony at this level.
The ceremony was held in a special ceremony hall in the royal city.
Rhodes stripped down to only his underwear and lay on the ceremony stage in a Tai-shape shape. The three guardians stood on three sides. The powerful spiritual energy was connected through the spiritual crystals all over the place. The strong spiritual light surrounded the ceremony stage in a certain pattern. Flashing.
Not far away, Horus scolded the flustered Mina with a serious face.
Mina feels wronged and scared. She is just a researcher at the Institute of Tools. Her ideal is to find the ultimate truth to save the world, but she is far from taking that step. She has never seen such a big scene. Archbishop, Guardian Or, they are all big shots out of reach for her.
The tenth-level promotion ceremony was also extremely complicated, and she couldn't control it. The more Horus talked about it, the more confused she became.
The situation was somewhat frozen, and at this moment, Rhodes suddenly snapped his fingers.
"Sister Mina, I heard them say that every time the ceremony is successful, the frequency of my spiritual energy resonating with your spiritual energy goes one step further."
"Ah...yeah, but..."
"If it is completed this time, won't our psychic powers be synchronized?"
"Uh, it seems, maybe..."
"Psychic energy is the power of the soul. If the spiritual energy is synchronized, will the soul be synchronized as well?"
Mina's face turned slightly red: "I don't know, I..."
"Do you know how much knowledge is hidden in my soul? Do you know how much I know about the truth of the world? How much of the teaching materials I gave you... ahem, books, how much do you understand?"
Mina was stunned: "You mean..."
Rhodes smiled and said: "Yes, if you resonate with my soul, wouldn't you be able to gain so much knowledge about the truth?"
Horus frowned, obviously not agreeing with Rhodes' words.
But he didn't say much, but made up his mind that if the next step didn't work, the ceremony would have to be forcibly interrupted.
There are many possessors of level 10 psychic powers in the entire royal city, not to mention that for a super star like Rhodes, there must be no risk in his promotion ceremony.
In fact, if it hadn't been for Rhodes' strong request, the ceremony would not have been held today.
But that's when the miracle happened.
Suddenly, Mina seemed like a different person. Her understanding was greatly improved and her concentration was highly concentrated. The hurdles that she had been unable to overcome before suddenly passed, and her progress suddenly skyrocketed.
After two successful rehearsals, Horus announced the start of the ceremony. He stood at the last corner of the rhombus and raised his hands together with the three guardians.
The super powerful spiritual energy emits a huge amount of white light, forming an extremely complex nine-sided shape.
Horus shouted: "Psionics!"
In an instant, all four people turned into pure white psychic forms.
Horus shouted: "Field!"
All four of them spread out an invisible ripple, the space changed, spiritual energy condensed into a liquid state, and the light was completely restrained.
Horus snapped: "Mina, what are you waiting for?"
Mina took a deep breath and began to move the psychic crystal in the ritual to change the path of the psychic energy and shine it on every part of Rhodes' body in a fixed order.
The liquid light is refracted in the crystal and disperses without restriction, forming a beautiful pattern.
Mina moved carefully in the crystal array, steadily focusing all the light on Rhodes, and then pressed her hand on Rhodes' forehead to contact his soul and guide the power of the sun crystal to combine with it.
This process is very detailed and long, and any slight mistake will cause the soul structure to collapse. Mina guided it steadily without any mistakes.
One day and two nights passed like this. When the last sun crystal was consumed, Rhode's entire soul bloomed with extremely bright light. The light penetrated the entire ceremony place and illuminated half of the royal city.
For a time, most of the people in the royal city looked over, ecstatic expressions appearing on their faces.
They knew that at this moment, another strong human being was born.
——
Zealand military training base.
Annabeth jumped off the psychic running belt and said happily: "It must be Rhodes!"
Mavis stared at the light silently without saying a word.
Kashan was still immersed in beating the wooden man in the training ground, and she found a way to greatly improve efficiency.
"Asshole! You lied to me!"
"Heartless man!"
"Scum!"
"go to hell!"
——
Temple of Fire.
Dalin stood on the edge of the cliff, and the light shone through the black fog into his eyes.
"good."
Under his gray temples, a bright smile appeared on his thin face as sharp as a knife.
"The palace has gained a second-level combatant, Trolian has gained a truly strong man, and humanity has gained a huge pillar of support."
——
Supreme Council.
Armando raised his cloudy eyes and murmured: "Finally, I finally see a ray of hope again."
——
Holy Fire Sacrifice Site.
The king who had just crushed several restless spiritual monsters to death suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the ceremony hall.
"Oh, I finally feel that little Rod's spiritual energy has changed."
The king snapped his fingers, and a wisp of flame floated down from the golden holy fire and surrounded his body.
"Perhaps, I can go to the high-level spiritual world to see what's there."
——
Ceremony Hall.
The moment the ritual was completed, Mina was exhausted and fainted.
Several staff members immediately rushed up and carried her down.
Rhodes looked at his hands and carefully sensed the feeling of the tenth-level spiritual energy wandering in his body.
Horus came over, and although his face was full of exhaustion, he still couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Rhodes. From now on, you will be Trolian's core combat force. You must know that fourth-level combatants can only be called preparations for strong men, and third-level combatants can barely be regarded as entry-level strongmen. By."
"Only second-level combatants can be regarded as the truly strong human beings who can hold up the important posts."
Guardian Lilivi gently patted his shoulder: "Little Rhodes, congratulations! Every time I see you, I can see the figure of the chief dean. You have lived up to his expectations."
Guardian Feiyan smiled and said: "May the light of fire illuminate your path forward."
Guardian Churchill held his hand and laughed heartily: "We can finally fight side by side!"
An unprecedented powerful force reverberated in Rhode's body and soul. He felt as if he had broken through a bottleneck and arrived in front of a wider space.
A strong passion rose in his chest, and he stood up suddenly and held everyone's hands.
"The flame will never be extinguished, and mankind will surely win!"
All four of them smiled and replied in unison.
"No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will never surrender!"
——
Deep in the sewers.
Black Shadow was hit in the face again by the Book of Destiny in his hand.
Due to multiple explosions, the Book of Destiny has been damaged beyond repair.
"what is this?"
The black shadow looked at the book of destiny in disbelief. There was a line of writing faintly on the damaged page. The handwriting was incomplete and only part of it could be seen faintly——
"...eating the delicious food that has been stored for eight thousand years...poisoned and died..."
There is no doubt that the prophecy of the Book of Destiny has failed again.
A doomsday bishop said cautiously: "Maybe it's not to his taste?"
Another doomsday bishop scolded: "It has been settled for eight thousand years, is there any more delicious shit than this? I think you are too arrogant and let him see the toxins in it! His willpower is terrifyingly strong, You won’t be fooled easily!”
"That's not necessarily the case!"
One person fights hard based on reason.
"We have been as secretive as possible. It must not be to his taste. Just like the food we eat, the poop of different races, different humans, and different years must taste different. We can't tell the difference, but the king of devouring poop How could you not tell the difference?"
"Yes, yes! There must be something wrong with the poop in the sewer!"
The doomsday bishop scolded: "Fart! I think you are shirking your responsibility! Your actions are too rough. Suddenly a stranger comes out and slaps food on your face. Don't you doubt it? It must be you." A bunch of idiots ruined the Grand Hierarch’s plan!”
"What did you say!"
"alright!"
The shadow interrupted them.
"The plan itself is correct. I have asked the void three times. There is no mistake in the identity of the King of Swallowed Shit. From now on, don't poison him for the time being. You must test every kind of shit and find the one that suits him best." The kind of flavor that sneaks into his regular food.”
"Let him gradually relax his vigilance, and then suddenly poison him, he will definitely succeed, do you understand?"
All the doomsday believers bowed together and said: "Yes, the Grand Cult Leader!"
The black shadow ignored them, and the black and red flesh flew up from the ground and sank into the Book of Destiny, repairing its damage.
The power of the Book of Destiny gradually recovered, and the black shadow also showed a sneer.
"You can't run away, your death is destined."
"And when we plunder your power, the end of mankind will come."
"Hahahaha, Trorian's destruction starts with you."
