The Last King of Darkness

Pushing open the door of the sacred fire shrine, a beautiful blonde woman walked out.

She glanced at Rhode arrogantly, and said indifferently, "Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

cough!

Horus behind him coughed.

The blonde girl glanced at him, snorted coldly, and left with her head held high.

Rhodes was a little strange, but he didn't care too much.

Entering the sacrificial ground, the king was sitting on his throne, pale, looking very tired and weak.

But seeing Rhodes coming, he smiled again.

"Little Rhodes, you are here... You should have met Lilith, she is my lover, don't worry, she has always been so arrogant."

Horus nodded: "And vanity."

Rhodes blinked, and seeing Wang's weak appearance, he couldn't help but have a bad association.

isn't it? I didn't expect you to be this kind of king. Is it appropriate to do this kind of thing in the sacred fire sacrifice ground?

If I had come earlier, wouldn't I have seen an indescribable picture?

Suddenly another question came to mind, and he couldn't help asking: "Where's the queen? Why haven't I seen her? Is your harem very big?"

Horus' face sank, and he shouted, "Rhod, shut up..."

"Don't get excited, Xiao Hehe."

Wang showed a calm smile and said softly.

"My wife was killed ten years ago. Lilith was my only lover. She sacrificed a lot and covered up a lot of things for me. Please forgive her if she offended you."

Horus' face darkened, obviously this was not a glorious thing.

"Little Rhodes, you are now the hand of the king, and you have all the positions you need to take up the post in Fanxing Town. Right now, you should perform the task of developing the human territory."

Rhode couldn't help but smile, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

The king's expression became serious.

"This is a very important mission, and its results will directly affect the Torch Program."

"However, the resistance to the implementation of the plan is much greater than expected."

"The long-term battle has made everyone very tired. The warriors have a very strong will to cultivate their lives. The opponents and worms in the royal city have used this to unite and try to overturn the implementation of the new law to protect their interests. ."

"So you're going to have a lot more difficulty than you think."

Rhodes couldn't help but ask: "At such a critical juncture of human survival, why is there such a person?"

Horus said in a deep voice, "There is no way out. Trorian has existed for more than 1,300 years. The two mass extinctions were 900 and 400 years ago, respectively. The royal city has not faced the darkness for at least 300 years."

"These people have been lying in relative comfort for too long and have gradually degenerated into maggots full of fat."

"They don't think the royal city will be destroyed. At most, they will lose some territory and die."

"As long as they hide within the high walls of Los, there will be no danger."

"So, what they think hard about is to grab more benefits, gain a higher status, and live a more extravagant enjoyment. There are 50 million people gathered in the royal city alone, at least 10 million black households, completely You can cut off their flesh and soul to support yourself."

It was the first time Rhode heard of such a thing.

King City is an incomparably huge city. The area of ​​the lower city alone exceeds 10,000 square kilometers, accounting for one-twentieth of the entire Trorian Kingdom. It is not surprising that the underground river purified by the Holy White Tree can gather so many people.

The strange thing is, how do they support themselves by cutting flesh and soul?

Horus saw Rhode's puzzled eyes and explained, "Does Hong Jing know?"

Rhode nodded, soul red crystal is a common recovery material.

"Does the living spirit know?"

Rhode nodded, and he could obtain this material by sacrificing human souls to make wooden puppets.

He was in very short supply for a while, and bought a lot from the pharmacist (Mephis).

It's cheap for a few bucks.

Horus said in a deep voice: "The reason why the soul red crystal has a recovery effect is because it has the activity of life in it. They mashed and mixed the flesh and blood of the living human with the original crystal, and then through the secret method, they can get a very cheap price. The price is made into red crystal."

"And fresh souls can be separated by a psionic **** to filter out a lot of living spirituality."

"They set up flesh and blood mills, buy the poor with 300 silver cords or less, make them into red crystals and living spirituality, and then resell them to lawbreakers in the market to make huge profits."

"They even hired poor people to work for them in the flesh and blood mill. Not only did these people work more than ten hours a day, but their weekly salary was only 20 sterlings, and they had to deduct food and lodging expenses."

"Many people go mad in such harsh and **** conditions, and they throw the mad into the mill."

A strong chill mixed with nausea and vomiting rushed into his heart, and Rhode asked angrily, "Why do you keep this kind of person?"

Horus said solemnly: "There are many people who don't think so. They think it's a fair deal. Those who can't live turn their resources into resources to dedicate themselves to the cause of the king's city, and get silver cords to keep their families alive. It's the best of both worlds. things."

Rhode said angrily: "Fart, this is a massacre. If the last home of mankind is a home of cannibals, what is the difference between us and monsters?"

Wang smiled and said: "There is a difference. Monsters can be eaten as soon as they are picked up. We need to cook carefully, dress appropriately, and be polite and elegant, and pray for the dead before meals to show our mercy and kindness."

There was a cold and strong murderous aura in his smile.

"Little Rhodes, you may be a little disappointed. Qing Yu will not inherit my throne. My next appointment is Jon."

Horus said uneasy: "King, how can you tell him this?"

Wang smiled and said, "Why can't we say it? Little Rhodes is the same as us. He won't say it. Jon will still be the expectation of the maggots. They gather under his banner, but they don't know they have been exposed."

"When he takes office, none of these people can escape, and they will establish a strong prestige for him."

Many things in Rhode's heart suddenly became clear, but he couldn't accept it and asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you kill them now?"

Horus replied: "As long as the candidates for the king are not confirmed, they must work hard for us, and the rules and concepts set by the king cannot be easily violated."

"Of course, the flesh and blood mill is beyond our tolerance, and the king has ordered it to be banned."

"Because of this, the torch plan has been more strongly opposed, and they believe that the expansion affects their interests."

After a moment of silence, Rhodes asked, "Why didn't you disclose the torch plan? Except for the Doomsday believers, no one wants to see the torch go out, right?"

Horus frowned and said, "Rod, don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked. You are not yet a full member of the Torch Project."

Wang shook his head and said, "Xiao Hehe, you should put your guard down."

"But, King..."

"It doesn't matter, we can tell him the torch plan."

The king turned his head, and golden flames burned in his child's hole.

"Little Rhodes, do you know what a source is?"

Rhode shook his head.

He had heard it many times, and knew that the stars needed to have the soul of [Origin] to be ignited, but he didn't know what it was.

"The source is the law of the beginning, the fundamental law of the operation of all things. The world was born and continued because of this."

"It is differentiated from the primordial chaos. The light part forms the source law, sinks into the bottom layer of the world to form the law, and the heavy part forms the source matter, which is scattered all over the world."

"The eternal fog that Alan gave you, the darkness of the extreme abyss you obtained by destroying the abyss rift, and the blood of Guros obtained by killing the abyss serpent are all source substances."

Rhodes froze in his heart.

Wang actually knew these things.

But he didn't seem to know that these were quantified for [Dark Devourer], and he never asked him about it.

"The void ocean formed by the law of origin is the ocean of origin."

"It's a concept that pervades the space, and every time a soul forms, it gets a projection of a part of it."

"That's the feature."

"It's just that some people have obtained a relatively complete law and become a spiritual fire sequence with corresponding soul characteristics."

"Some people acquire the Law of Fragmentation and Hybridization, and they become the Spark Sequence, possessing the seed of fire."

"Therefore, every kind of fire is a broken characteristic."

"There are also people whose souls are too fragile to activate the Law. They are ordinary people."

Wang paused and continued.

"Please note that what we get is the projection, the trajectory formed by the soul according to the shape of the law, not the law itself."

"However, through continuous efforts, we can bring this projection closer to its origin."

"This is the level of soul characteristics."

"The Institute of Mechanical Engineering uses the image of fireworks to represent, each time you have one fireworks, you are one point closer to your source, and when you have nine fireworks, that is, the ninth level, you are infinitely close to your source. "

"This is the limit of ordinary people."

"If you break through to level ten, the projection will coincide with the source, and quantification will begin."

"When it's done, you'll have a copy of the source law, the law that controls a part of the world."

Wang's words were like a thunderbolt, and instantly cleared the deepest fog in Rhodes' mind.

It turns out that this is "quantified"!

Stars are my characteristics, upgrading means getting closer to the source, and "quantifying" means replacing the source and controlling the laws of the world!

No wonder, no wonder!

Rhodes figured out a lot of things in an instant.

"But unfortunately, only Theodore is the only one who has accomplished this feat at present."

"With him gone, we lost that power forever."

Rhode asked anxiously: "What about the Spark Sequence? Can the Spark Sequence be quantified?"

Wang shook his head slightly.

"Currently only Spirit Fire can do this."

"Xinghuo can only awaken more laws in the soul through various means and ignite more fire."

Horus also said: "The vast majority of the fighters in the Spark sequence are based on physical combat and rarely rely on characteristics, because their characteristics are complex and weak, far inferior to Spirit Fire. But you are the exception, you The characteristics of the fire are incredibly strong, and they are almost the same as the characteristics of the soul, which makes me very uneasy."

Rhodes was stunned: "Why?"

Horus said: "Usually speaking, there is only one soul characteristic. People with two soul characteristics are very rare. Their souls are also very unstable, and they are extremely easy to lose control. The body will turn black, and eventually go crazy, become a lunatic or a monster, with very few exceptions."

Rhode couldn't help but ask, "What about those three characteristics?"

Horus' face darkened.

"People with three soul characteristics in history eventually all fell into darkness and became the terrifying king of darkness."

Suddenly, he looked suspicious.

"Do you know Mephis? What did she tell you?"

Rhode hesitated for a while, but still said: "She said that you think she is the son of destruction in the prophecy, but I don't quite believe it. I have already made an appointment. The first partner on this expedition is her."

Horus' dry face cracked like dead wood.

"What did you say?"

He roared filial piety, and spit Xingzi sprayed Rhodes face.

"I will never allow it! How can your two most unstable factors be mixed together? The most dangerous taboo in the silver oath will never leave my sight..."

Wang soothed: "Don't get excited, Xiao Hehe, why don't we do a dance first."

Horus turned his face and roared in the same tone of filial piety: "Yin De Luo! You make me look like a king, bastard!"

Wang coughed and sat up straight.

The flaming royal robe flew from the holy flame and draped over him, making him look much more majestic.

"After the quantification is completed, you will have a [source]."

"Note that the volume of the source law is limited. Once the corresponding source law is fully occupied, the final quantification can no longer be carried out."

Rhodes asked, "What about the monster?"

"Except for corrupted and depraved creatures, all other monsters are born from the corrupted Origin Law."

Horus said: "According to the source law, they are divided into five categories, monsters, ghosts, born, cursed, aliens, plus the fallen, the corrupted, and the corpse that is corrupted from the corpse. There are eight categories of ghosts."

"Monsters are different from humans. Monsters can't improve their characteristics, and they can't get the source."

"In addition to being carried by themselves, they can only be obtained by devouring other souls or source substances."

Horus' expression became serious.

"Rod, you must pay attention, any monster with a source is very dangerous. The more you have, the more dangerous it is."

Rhode hurriedly asked, "How should I judge?"

Horus said in a deep voice: "Your spiritual vision can see that dark ripples appear in the soul of the monster. Those who are in a state of no light, or in a state of black domain, all have a source."

"Especially monsters above the strong level, you must pay attention."

Rhode nodded lightly.

Strong level is a very powerful monster, and the previous gray level, unleveled ~www.wuxiahere.com~ level, fierce level is not the same level.

Abyss Serpents and Corrupted Dragons are powerful monsters.

"Considering your inexperience, I appointed Molly as your assistant."

"She is the best dispatcher in the War Department and can assist you with many things."

"Not only that, Molly also has a very firm belief and is willing to sacrifice everything for fire. Such a woman is an excellent partner..."

The king coughed, interrupting Horus' sermon.

"Coming back to the topic, the origin law is nearly infinite and contains countless rules, so our characteristics are also different."

"But it boils down to all 107 areas."

"And in it, the three areas called the pillars of the world are time, space, and activity."

"These are the three laws of origin. They were originally a whole piece, but now they have been broken and scattered in the sea of ​​origin."

Wang paused, and finally got to the point.

"And the fire of guardianship is rooted in the sea of ​​​​source and exists on these three pillars."

"The stronger the guardian fire, the more source it needs, otherwise its power and source will be lost."

"And the extremely powerful holy fire, because we have added a lot of phlogiston and firewood, its power has far exceeded its source, the structure of firewood is collapsing, the fire has become capricious and unstable, and it all depends on my spiritual support ."

"There are only two solutions, get another Holy Fire Seed."

Wang looked at Rhodes seriously and said word by word.

"Narrow the scope of the torch and give up the lives of 30 million people in the outer city."

An unspeakable silence shrouded the sacred fire shrine.

Rhode came back to his senses after a long while, and lost his voice:

"You mean, the elders of the Supreme Council will choose the second?"
