Chapter 799: Countdown to Destruction
Latest website: Trorian.
Royal City, White Tower.
Star Observation Deck.
The Lord of the White Tower and the Great Seer Ietta stood alone on the astrological instrument, with the huge star track roaring and turning behind him, and mist-like spiritual energy rising from all directions, converging on his eyes.
The string of fate, the long river of time, and the endless sea of origin flashed in his sight, and finally settled in the boundless darkness.
He saw that the sky was dark, the ground was dark, black mist filled the world, and the golden sun fell from the sky like a fallen battleship.
He saw the black flood spreading from the horizon, and the endless black sea submerged the world.
"Catastrophe."
he murmured.
"The great disaster predicted by the source has finally arrived."
"Rhode, the crisis in Rhodes has been triggered."
"I'm going to tell the king that Trorian is going to die... No, no!"
Ieta's voice suddenly turned horrified.
"The king's crisis, the king's crisis is shining, why hasn't it disappeared yet? Hasn't the king's crisis passed long ago?"
"Could this be the real crisis for the king?"
"No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible...Hope, where is the hope?"
More mist-like spiritual energy flew in, and the entire white tower was shining. This great creation, called the "Source Device" in ancient classics, was operating at full strength at this moment, and the work of all prophets was interrupted. People looked at the prophecy hall one after another, wondering why the great prophet Ietta occupied so much power.
"What is the tower master doing?"
"Any important predictions?"
Several apprentices wanted to break in, but the psychic energy in front of the door blocked it.
At this moment, the entire prophecy hall was shrouded in psychic fog, and the golden light of prophecy shone in the mist.
"Hope, where is the hope?"
Iyetta searched eagerly. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, the astronomical instrument collapsed, and sections of rails made of star marrow steel fell down and hit the observatory.
The ritual of prophecy was interrupted, the psychic fog dissipated, and the apprentices rushed into the prophecy hall.
"Tower Master!"
"teacher!"
"Are you okay?"
They helped Iyeta from the ruins. This great prophet, known as the most powerful prophet in thousands of years, was in an extremely embarrassed state. His bald head was covered with a layer of dust and no longer reflected light.
"Disaster, the great disaster of destruction has come!"
Iyetta pushed the apprentice away and rushed towards the Holy Fire Sacrifice without even having time to wipe away the dust.
"I want to tell the king."

Institute of Industrial Machinery.
On the production line of the latest War Golem No. 199, a researcher raised his head, looked at the roof, and murmured in a voice that no one could hear.
"Well, a strange disaster has come one day early."
He sighed softly and stared at the roof, as if the fate of the entire Trolian was condensed there.
"Oh, after all, it is still a dream, and the established destiny cannot be changed."
"The same goes for that one, it's too late after all."
"Trolian is better destroyed."
"Goodbye, this miraculous flash of dreamy foam."
——
——
The sun finally sets.
Even when it was at its most glorious, it lit up the entire sky, making Rhodes think that the Sun Knight could burst out its hidden power and win.
But it finally fell down.
Darkness overwhelmed everything again.
The black mist spreads, just like before.
In Rhode's perception, Kai's aura completely disappeared, no miracle occurred, and the Sun Knight died after all.
At this moment, Rhodes' heart was filled with annoyance, regret, anger and resentment. He gritted his teeth and asked: "Book, why on earth? Didn't you say [Sacrifice] is my last resort? Why should I use it now?" When did it fail?"
After thinking about it for such a long time, the Book of Knowledge already had some clues and quickly answered:
"Master, if my guess is correct, the essence of [Sacrifice] is related to the spiritual mist that permeates the three realms of the universe... Do you understand the spiritual mist? It is a mist network composed of ripples permeated by all spirits. Inspiration, intuition, and induction all come from it, and all phantoms, afterimages, and traces are also related to it.”
"The spiritual mist is traceless and omnipresent. It coexists with the three realms but has nothing to do with the three realms. The only thing related to it is the 'unknown thing', which is the foundation that supports the spiritual mist."
"However, in the description of [The Soul of the Unknown Weird Shadow], there is this passage: [The distorted and alienated 'unknown thing' caused irreversible distortion to the spiritual mist and time and space]. I believe that this is the [Sacrifice] 】The root cause of unavailability.”
Rhodes' face darkened. He remembered clearly that it was the human demon who distorted the "unknown thing" and created the original unknown and strange shadow.
"Doesn't that mean that [Festival] can no longer be used very early?"
The Book of Knowledge muttered: "In my remaining memory, it was used, and it caused great damage to Yu Heiwu... Then, there is only one possibility left, the distortion of 'unknown things' The alienation worsened in the following years, causing the [Sacrifice] to be unable to be used normally."
Rhodes frowned. He had a feeling that the black mist would block things that had threatened it. The aggravation of alienation of "unknown things" was a means of blocking.
If this ban is not broken, he will always be unable to use it.
But the strange thing is that as long as the ban is broken, Black Mist will not immediately re-ban it, and it seems that it can only be processed slowly through source feedback.
From this point of view, the black mist is more like a natural law, a law of the three realms.
It's just that it is different from other laws in that it is much more powerful and has some special properties.
At this moment, the puppet suddenly said: "Master, [Sacrifice] is not unusable, it just needs more blood and spirit."
Rhodes suddenly realized that when he touched [Sacrifice], the feedback message was [Unknown object is missing, the spiritual mist is unbalanced, and more blood (spirituality) is needed].
More blood (spirituality) is needed, that is to say, this is [Sacrifice]'s method of breaking the black mist seal.
However, Rhodes soon discovered that the blood and spirituality required for [Sacrifice] were not ordinary blood and spirituality, but special blood and spirituality that contained the source of life and soul, that is, [Living Blood] and [living spirituality].
If I remember correctly, this is also one of the materials needed to make the [King's Heart]. There is only one such blood and spirituality in the life and soul of a king-level powerhouse.
True King only has 2-5 servings.
There are also strong men below the king level, but they are not strong enough.
In addition, they cannot be saved. After being extracted using a special secret method, if they are not used quickly, they will quickly "die" and become ordinary blood and spirituality.
What's more important is that if it weren't for a strong man with special means like Wang, once the [living blood] and [living spirituality] were extracted, the person would wither and die.
At present, what [Sacrifice] needs is "more". The specific number is unknown, but it is more than 100 copies.
Rhodes' heart sank. If he didn't use special means, it would mean that he would have to sacrifice more than 100 king-level experts.
This is of course impossible, and there are not so many king-level experts in Trolian.
But Rhodes had other ways.
【Heart of the Dragon】
Reshape the body, restore life, transcend all laws, ignore all prohibitions.
Requires: 1 Heart of the Dragon King (or 100 Hearts of an Adult Dragon), 100 Divinity
——
As long as there are enough Demonic Dragon Hearts, if used by the most powerful True King, more than 100 copies of [Living Blood] and [Living Spirituality] will soon be gathered.
The key is the heart of the dragon.
As long as we can find a few more dragon tombs.
Rhodes already had some clues in his mind. At the end of the Ancient Era, in addition to the destroyed giants, the giant dragons were also destroyed. If the history of that period can be further unearthed, perhaps we can find the place where the giant dragons were destroyed.
Based on his last experience in the Dragon Tomb, Rhodes knew that dragons would deliberately preserve their hearts for future generations to use.
It's a pity that he didn't expect this earlier, otherwise, Kai might not have died.
"Shu, this is your mistake." Rhodes said solemnly: "You should have noticed long ago that [Sacrifice] is in a banned state."
The Book of Knowledge said frustratedly: "Yes, Master, there were too many things going on at that time, and I was facing huge pressure for promotion. I originally thought I wouldn't use it soon."
Rhodes said in a deep voice: "Such a thing cannot happen again, Adoris, you must always pay attention to find out all the hidden dangers in the dream."
This was the first time that the owner called it by its full name. The book of knowledge was shocked, knowing that this was something that could never be ignored again.
"I understand, Master."
Rhodes nodded and said nothing more. He knew that the most important thing now was to quickly return to Trolian, tell the king about this matter, and then concentrate all Trolian's power to kill the demon.
The pollution in his soul has not been removed, and the [Spirit Boat] cannot be used, so he can only fly back.
This wouldn't take much time for him, just enough time for everyone in Talanore to evacuate.
After the human demon wakes up, it will definitely go in the direction of the nearest holy fire. This is something that has long been determined.
Destroying the Holy Fire is the instinct of all monsters, especially powerful monsters.
Therefore, from the Tomb of Human Demons to the Royal City, all strongholds along the way must be abandoned, and everyone must evacuate.
With his mind determined, Rhodes was no longer confused and rushed towards the royal city as quickly as possible with the severely injured Horus, Olivia, and Dark Moon.
After entering Talanore, Rhodes did not stop, but used psychic communication to pass on the death order to evacuate as soon as possible.
At this moment, the warriors' search has not yet been completed. Although they cannot understand why they suddenly retreated, are there any powerful monsters that the great King of Light, the King of the Sun, and the Apostle of Fire cannot contend with?
But orders are everything, let alone orders given by Lord Rhodes himself.
As a result, the warriors in Talanor quickly gathered up their trophies and withdrew towards Trorian.
——
A few hours later.
Rhodes arrived at the Royal City.
The moment the holy fire sacrificial site fell, he discovered that, except for Alan and others who had already traveled far away, all Trolian's strong men had gathered here.
Rhodes was slightly surprised. In the case of ultra-long distance, psychic communication is actually not that easy to use. It needs to be transferred and then transmitted, which is not as fast as his speed. It should be impossible for them to get the news in advance.
Aleihan, the first Son of Fire, shouted: "Rhodes is back!"
As soon as Rhodes' feet landed, several central medical staff took Horus and others over. Soul Master Priscilla immediately threw herself into the treatment and began to heal their severely damaged souls.
Holy Sword Knight Weihele shouted: "His grandma's, where is Kai?"
Rhodes' heart sank. Before he could speak, a figure walked out of the crowd. He was surprised to find that it was the Lord of the White Tower and the Great Prophet Ietta.
He was covered in dust, as if he had been through a battle.
"Rod."
He stared into Rhodes' eyes.
"What happened? What did you touch?"
Rhodes recounted what happened in the shortest possible language. Everyone looked gloomy after hearing the horror of the human demon.
After hearing about Kai's death, everyone was in disbelief.
Pebela's lips were blue and she asked tremblingly: "Little Rod, you, you said, Kai, are dead?"
Rhodes nodded heavily.
The atmosphere became suffocating, and no one could believe that the extremely powerful Sun Knight would die at this time.
However, the information Rhodes brought back could not be false. The great prophet Iyeta had already foreseen this ominous fact.
Someone in the crowd cried, but only Wihler was yelling:
"Fart, it's impossible, it's fake. How can Kai, a bastard, die just because he wants to? I haven't surpassed him yet. Damn it, his grandma. Tell me, this is fake. Rod, tell me it is." It’s fake…please, tell me quickly…”
Halfway through, the rugged man burst into tears.
Rhodes was also extremely gloomy in his heart. He originally thought that he, Horus, and the Sun Knight would become Trollian's most powerful triangle, but he didn't expect that one of them would die so soon.
At this moment, in the dream, the doll suddenly said: "No, Kai is not necessarily dead."
Rhodes was shocked: "What did you say?"
"Master, the dream fragment you just obtained is a fragment of the Eternal Square. If you are lucky, you may be able to obtain Kai's eternal statue. In this way, his spirit will be preserved in the dream forever."
The Book of Knowledge, which was checking the stars, suddenly woke up and said, "Yes, Master, restore the Eternal Square quickly."
Rhodes almost rushed to the Eternal Square, and the pattern on the back of his hand immediately turned into gray gas and fell into the square.
The blazing white light burst out instantly, drowning the dream. When it fell, Rhodes saw a brand new Eternal Square. It was larger and more magnificent, with an area more than ten times larger than before. The long round high pillars were shaped like a They are arranged in the square in a special way, adding a sense of majesty and solemnity to it.
"Twenty-three percent!" the Book of Knowledge shouted: "The Eternal Square is restored to integrity!"
Rhodes raised his head, and the information from Eternal Square was instantly reflected into his soul.
[Eternal Plaza has gained new abilities]
[Eternal Statue]: No matter is needed anymore, as long as the permeating spirit gathers, the eternal statue can be awakened.
[Dream Guardian]: During invasion, all eternal statues will provide power to dreams.
[Special Condensation]: It is possible to form a new eternal statue in a special way.
[Reincarnation of Stars]: After each reincarnation of stars, the eternal statue will change.
[General]: Using ashes, glory and thoughts, a new eternal statue can be formed.
——
After reading it, Rhodes' brows sank slightly.
The complete Eternal Square is indeed very powerful, much easier to use than the dry and jerky ability in the past.
But the problem is, Rhodes doesn't have Kai's ashes, so it's impossible to recall Kai's spirit and form an eternal statue here.
But the puppet said: "Master, [Special Condensation], you can give it a try."
【Special Condensation】?
Rhodes was slightly confused, what did "special way" mean?
He stretched out his hand, and with a thought, he touched this ability.
But there was no reaction, no movement.
Failed?
But the next moment, Rhodes suddenly saw dots of golden light gathering from all directions.
Soon, a human figure shining with the sun's rays appeared in front of him. He was short, with an unfamiliar face, and a strange light flashing in his eyes.
He looked at Rhodes, his eyes calm and complicated, and disappeared in an instant.
But Rhodes felt that there seemed to be something more in the square.
The next second, golden light erupted in the square, and a statue covered in golden armor appeared in the golden light.
He is taller, has a gentle look, and always seems to have a smile in his eyes. He holds a sword in his right hand, a shield in his left hand, and a burning sun painted on his chest.
It was none other than Sun Knight Kai.
Below is a simple line of text written in dream language.
Praise the sun.
——Kay.
The golden luster shines on the statue, and the power of the sun seems to be contained in the statue. His eyes are shining, as if to encourage him not to lose his fighting spirit.
Rhodes knew that as long as he waited for a while, the statue would be triggered.
At that time, as long as he summons the phantom of the wind, the spirit carrying the statue can fight side by side with the Sun Knight again.
Rhodes exhaled, then let go of his knot and left the dreamland.
"Where's the king?"
What he wanted to see most was the king.
Iyetta replied in a deep voice: "The king is fighting the pollution of the starry sky in the spiritual world. The situation is urgent and he cannot come back for the time being."
Rhodes' heart sank slightly. Wang was their biggest supporter. If he couldn't come back, things would be bad.
At this time, Iyeta asked about the process in detail, especially how the human demon lifted the seal and woke up.
After listening to Rhodes' answer, Iyetta had some doubts in her expression: "Strange, why Horus?"
Rhodes frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Iyeta stared at him and told him the prophecy in a heavy tone.
Rhodes was shocked: "What did you say? The king's crisis is shining? Is his crisis not over yet?"
Iyetta replied in a deep voice: "No! None of the things we encountered before were crises."
Rhodes' heart was filled with inexplicable anxiety for a moment, and he immediately thought of the [Eternal Dream]. Perhaps, only the [Eternal Dream] that can change reality can change everything.
There are already more than 6,700 nightmare materials in the dream, and the number 7,500 is not far away.
Just when he was thinking about how to get the last nightmare material and the dragon's heart, a messenger sent back an extremely terrifying message.
The human demon has entered Talanor and is heading towards the royal city.
According to the observations of investigators, according to its current speed, it is expected to reach the outermost edge of Trolian within a few days. At the same time, many crazy monsters appeared around it, and huge crazy crowns overlapped each other and formed a single piece. , can’t tell clearly.
There is no doubt that the great catastrophe has arrived.
The countdown to Trorian's demise has officially begun.
