The Last Dark King

The Holy Fire Sacrifice fell into a deathly silence.

No one can believe that in just a few words, the old king of Trolian will be gone and a new king will be born.

As for the candidates, they were both unexpected and expected.

Although Jon is far more suitable to become king than Qingyu, Qingyu has an extremely important advantage that only she has and no one else has, that is - she is Rhodes' partner.

If there is one most reliable person in the entire Trorian, it is undoubtedly the king.

If there is a second most reliable person, it is Rhodes.

Since Rhodes came into everyone's sight, he has been involved in most of the important events that have happened in Trorian.

It can be said that Trolian's current situation is inseparable from Rhodes. When the king is about to step down from his throne, the only successor who can make everyone feel at ease is Rhodes.

However, Rhodes is not the holder of the "Eternal Burning Fire". He cannot resonate with the Holy Fire and cannot become the guardian of the Holy Fire. Although the "Eternal Burning Fire" is the most special source law and can coexist with any source law, and Wang Cheng has also mastered the Hidden Fire Ritual, and if he pays a high price, he can inherit the "Eternal Fire".

But it takes a long time to control this power. Rhodes cannot immediately resonate with the Holy Fire, and the price paid is too high. It requires burning the king's soul and consuming a lot of pure star source.

The most important thing is that if Rhodes becomes king, he will be imprisoned around the Holy Fire forever and will no longer be able to move freely as before.

In contrast, if Qingyu becomes king, Rhodes can exercise the power of the king as the king's husband.

This method is undoubtedly much better.

Therefore, no one had any objection.

Except Jon.

He shouted unwillingly: "King, I can also be Rhodes' partner..."

Everyone's expressions became weird, as if they wanted to laugh but were afraid to laugh. Wang Han smiled and said: "Jon, I don't think Rhodes will accept it."

Jon looked very frustrated. It was not that he didn't know this. No one knew Qingyu's unique advantages better than him. He just didn't expect that the king would step down so early. If they were given another twenty years, the outcome would be It's different, and now, strictly speaking, none of them are actually qualified to become the new king.

Therefore, Rhodes became an absolute factor in fatality.

"I, I just don't want to accept it... Rhodes is obviously a good brother of mine, so shouldn't it be okay between brothers?"

Rhodes immediately stopped this dangerous topic: "Jon, you have to know that the situation is different now. There are no longer big differences within Trorian. Most of the doomsday cultists and ancient evil thoughts have been eliminated. We We no longer need strong means to integrate internally. For us now, improving our combat power and resisting the coming great pollution are the most important things. Even without me, Qingyu is the most suitable person to become the king. "

Jon looked at his hands with regret and sighed: "I know... It's a pity that I am only half a step away from entering the realm of the true king. If there is enough time, I will prove that I am the person who improves the fastest... ...But there are no ifs. Qingyu is indeed the best candidate. I lost this fight, but I will not give up. When I am strong enough and become more important than you and Brother Rhodes, I will Take back my throne."

Qingyu stretched out his hand with a smile: "I'm waiting for your challenge."

The two candidates for the king held hands together, and the feud that had lasted for many years was wiped out.

Jon smiled and said: "Qingyu, although you have become the king, you can't be careless, otherwise I will catch up with you. Brother Rhodes, you don't want to be taken away by me, right?"

Rhode's face darkened. Although I know you have good intentions, can you use your words more normally? I don't do chicken.

On the side, Xing Ge blinked and suddenly said: "I can also be Brother Rhodes's partner. Then can I become the king?"

Ifra's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said: "I can do it too, I can do it too!"

Fortunately, the first elder Armando stopped them in time, otherwise the sacred Trolian Fire Passing Ceremony would have turned into a battle for the king's wife.

The king smiled and said: "Armando, I will leave all the matters concerning the new king's enthronement to you."

Armando bowed deeply, his white hair hanging down from his ears. This was the third time that he presided over the fire passing ceremony.

"Don't worry, King, I will take care of everything."

The king nodded slightly and then said: "Qingyu, after becoming the king, you can stick to your name and don't have to be called the king, because I have not passed away yet, all the backlash of cause and effect will be borne by me, and all the great power will be inherited by you. ”

Qingyu replied softly: "I will become a qualified King of Trolian."

The king smiled slightly: "Then I can rest assured. After I fall asleep, the throne of Yuantian God will continue to operate. Part of the power will be used to maintain my existence, and the other part of the power will be integrated into Trolian's fortune. , I hope I can return to the sacred fire again, and the world will be bright again."

At this moment, everyone knew that Wang was about to leave, and their hearts were suddenly filled with fear and reluctance. Many people had an impulse and just wanted Wang to stay, no matter what the cost.

Wang always just smiled faintly, as if this was just a normal short episode.

"So, goodbye everyone."

The king waved his hand, and his figure gradually sank, and the golden holy fire surged up, submerging his body and his face.

After a few seconds, the king completely sank into the holy fire, and there was no trace of him under the raging flames.

The Holy Fire Sacrifice Site became extremely quiet.

Everyone knew that from this moment on, Trolian entered a new era.

The old king fell into an unknown sleep, and the new king took over the power and embarked on a new journey.

——

——

Under Armando's arrangement, the fire-passing ceremony soon began.

Different from previous fire-passing ceremonies, this time's fire-passing ceremony is particularly simple, because the king is not dead, and the holy fire is still in a resonance state, but this state is very special. It is between resonance and non-resonance, and at the same time expresses Revealing the characteristics of resonance and the defects of non-resonance, the tedious steps and difficult synchronization process in the past are no longer needed.

Qingyu only had to walk up and put her resonance fire into the holy fire. The flame was integrated into the holy fire in an instant, and the resonance with the guardian fire spread to the entire holy fire in an instant. It was extremely huge. The power of fire began to establish a connection with Qingyu. Golden flames rose from her feet and swallowed her up instantly. The boiling fire reflected each other, and wonderful fluctuations were transmitted in the space. An unprecedentedly powerful aura was rising.

This sacred sight shocked everyone. The fire-passing ceremony occurs once every twenty years on average. This is not a common sight. Even Armando, who has experienced the most, has only seen it five times.

The power of fire is surging, the breath of light is expanding, the invisible field is opening up, Qingyu's spiritual energy is increasing rapidly, and soon reached the 17th level limit, and is still ready to move.

"really."

Rhodes thought.

"The power of the Holy Fire is extremely powerful. Even if Qingyu has not yet mastered the source, the spiritual energy can reach such a powerful state."

In the dream, the Book of Knowledge sighed: "The Holy Fire is really the most incredible existence in this world. I can't describe its magic."

Asa snorted coldly: "It's far worse than poop."

The Book of the Future waved its pages: "Ignore that idiot, I can feel the fire in destiny. The Holy Fire is a powerful existence that can affect destiny."

Asa sneered and said: "Shit can also affect destiny. If you don't believe it, just wait."

The puppet opened its eyes from meditation: "Master, I feel uneasy. We need stronger power."

The Book of Knowledge also said: "Yes, I also feel this way. The intensity of the black mist continues to increase. I have never seen such a source of black mist before."

As it spoke, it gently turned the page of the book, and the dream bubble traveling in the "Shadow Evil Realm" deflected slightly, bypassing a group of extremely terrifying darkness. It was boundless, profound and deep, like the entrance to the abyss of the universe. It was weird. The light surrounds it, which looks extremely inconsistent.

This was a terrible sight they often encountered during this time.

In the past, black mist rarely appeared in the form of darkness in the spiritual world, but now, not only does it appear, it is also surrounded by that strange light. Both light and darkness shine in a strange manner. Just looking at it makes people... People are very uncomfortable.

It seems that killing the demon did not make the world come out of the abyss of darkness, but instead sunk it deeper.

What's worse is that since this period of time, the obelisk's omen surface has been filled with a strange bloody light, but no omen has ever appeared.

This unusual phenomenon has never happened before, which makes it all the more unsettling.

Rhodes nodded: "When the fire transmission ceremony is over, I will immediately collect the dream fragments. The other half of the Giant Divine Sword will also be taken back. I have stayed at this stage for too long, and it is time to go further. "

Now, the key to limiting him is the strength of his soul.

As long as the soul strength breaks through, his power will usher in a surge. The 56,000 divinity will bring him an unprecedented improvement. The soul of the human demon will become the most powerful nourishment in the dream.

Rhodes believed that as long as he could ignite the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, or even 24th or 25th stars, it wouldn't be a problem.

His strength will soon reach a new level, becoming a being that rivals the Four Gods. It is only a matter of time. There is no big problem in reaching the strength of the ancient gods.

The "Only True King" he once saw in the illusion, and the title "Eternal One" of the Red God of War, will not be his limit.

And Trolian currently has a lot of resources, whether it is "flesh and blood of gods", the elements of the three major spiritual ascension rituals, divine stones, deified source materials, or various other resources, there are enough. As long as they can be All these resources are converted into combat power. It is no exaggeration to say that there will be at least 10 true kings in Trorian.

It can be said that now is Trolian's weakest period. He is the only true king. No matter what, he must withstand it.

In the messy thoughts, the fire-passing ceremony has been completed. The golden flame flew down from the holy fire and surrounded Qingyu. The crown of fire rose on her forehead, and the robe of fire was lit on her body. Qingyu, who once looked delicate, Yu, now he has a hint of kingly bearing.

She turned around, her eyes had turned golden, the holy fire was burning behind her, and huge spiritual energy rose in her body, quickly surpassing everyone present.

Suddenly, another strong and familiar breath came, and everyone raised their heads in an instant. It was the king's breath, which came from the holy fire and blessed Qingyu's soul.

boom!

Suddenly, Qingyu's spiritual energy exploded violently. It broke through the limit of 40 million kilometres. Powerful spiritual energy fluctuations swept across the audience. The tyranny of the former king once again appeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, many people had tears in their eyes, and many people knelt down and shouted: "King!"

The voice soon became loud. Under the leadership of Armando, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty!"

Only Rhodes, led by another elder, came to Qingyu.

The firelight enveloped him in an instant, merging him and Qingyu into one.

Qingyu raised her right hand, her long black hair flying in the flames. Her delicate and beautiful face was now filled with determination and strength, and her powerful aura made people dare not look directly at her.

"My body is immortal and my fire will last forever!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "The fire will always shine on Trorian!"

The loud voice echoed in the sky above Trolian, announcing that Trolian had officially entered the era of Qingyu's king.

1326, the 14th month, the 26th day.

Aoyu officially became the King of Trolian.

On this day, the White Tower observed that the world had become darker, and the great pollution of the starry sky had officially arrived.

The sun was shrouded in darkness, leaving only a golden crown.

Thick black fog echoed in the three realms. In the distant areas, even under the light of the fire, the sky was still as dark as late at night.

At this moment, all the prophets in the White Tower knew that on this day, the long night that had not lasted for many years was coming.

This is the most serious disaster faced by mankind. During the long night, the black fog will become extremely powerful, monsters will be active, and the power of fire will be greatly reduced.

The scariest thing is that no special dates will appear during the long night.

In other words, Fire Day, Moon Day, Sun Day, and Hanukkah will not appear.

Human beings use these special dates to determine time and year. Without them, weeks, months, seasons, and years would not pass.

So, during the long night, time freezes.

Everything will be shrouded in terror and disaster.

The catastrophe predicted by the source has finally arrived.

——

——

Trorian entered a state of emergency as quickly as possible, and the Palace of Fire and the Military War Department, which had been idle for a long time, became busy again.

The black mist symbionts that once ravaged the starry sky and the spiritual world appeared on a large scale in the material world. They swept in from all directions, and together with various other types of monsters, formed a huge black tide and began to attack Troli. install.

Trolian's four major portals, Dragon City, Wind City, Sword Fortress, and Royal City, have all entered a state of large-scale fighting, and all city defenses have been activated.

However, the monsters in the long night are far more powerful than before.

With the blessing of the powerful black mist, the monsters' psychic defenses were dozens of times thicker than before. Even within the range of the Guardian Fire, they could not be suppressed.

The strength of the warriors has been weakened to varying degrees.

Even if the holy fire is more powerful than before, it cannot resist the negative effects of the long night.

Especially the Black Mist symbiote.

They are derivatives of Amidala, the star devourer. They have extremely powerful pollution and corrosion capabilities, extremely strong spiritual defense, and the ability to teleport over short distances. They are much better than what Rhodes encountered in the starry sky before. More powerful.

These black mist symbionts have become the main force among monsters, causing serious impact on the four major cities, and even the royal city has been affected to a certain extent.

However, after Qingyu completed the True King Ceremony, this influence disappeared.

With the blessing of the Holy Fire and the King, this Chosen One of Fire stepped into the realm of the True King in the most relaxed manner ever.

And the moment she became the true king, she had 10 fundamental sources, exactly the same as the king before he fell asleep.

This gave Rhodes the illusion that Wang was reborn under the cover of a shell, right?

However, he soon determined that this was just an illusion. Qingyu was still the same Qingyu. From body to heart, she had not changed at all.

This is an extremely gentle king. Her eyes are always smiling, and her tone is always soft and gentle. She never uses harsh words to criticize, and she never gets angry. She will only show off when she uses the power beyond imagination. Show the majesty of the king.

But this majesty only applies to monsters. When dealing with people, she turns back to the gentle Qingyu, and will not even refuse any request - as long as it is within the scope of common sense.

This is obviously unqualified for a king. She cannot satisfy everyone. She has to make many choices and cannot agree to many requests.

Qingyu also knows this. Bailang and Aluo have tried to persuade him many times, but to no avail.

She always promised beforehand, but afterwards, she would always stare with big innocent eyes and say in a soft tone: "I'm sorry, but I just can't bear to reject him."

Compared to the king, she is really too soft-hearted and kind, and she is not even willing to see a person sacrifice in front of her eyes. For this reason, she has used her power many times to directly participate in the battle at the northern city gate.

This is not good for the Holy Fire.

Because the pollution in the spiritual world has not stopped, some more powerful black mist symbionts are still continuing to attack the projection of the holy fire.

Qingyu's two-front battle consumed a lot of the Holy Fire's power.

It was only then that Rhodes, as the king's husband, knew that the power of the Holy Fire was not infinite. It could create a strange connection with the resonator, transmitting a more primitive soul power to Qingyu through resonance.

This soul power can gradually be transformed into powerful spiritual energy in the soul. This is also the mechanism of the "King's Heart".

However, the process of its production is very complicated. It is produced by the origin of the holy fire, through the projection of the holy fire in the spiritual world and the sea of ​​origin, and the interaction with the spiritual mist and the spiritual ocean. Its quantity is limited. If If used too much in a short period of time, the sacred fire will be damaged.

Although this loss can be compensated, according to the king's principle, it is best not to have such fluctuations.

The importance of the sacred fire is of the highest importance.

For this reason, the first elder Armando specially came to warn them: "The origin of the holy fire comes from phlogiston, firewood, and the fuel kings of the past generations. Do not cause any loss unless necessary."

Aleihan, the first son of fire, said: "Although we still have a lot of fire ashes, enough for Rhodes to condense hundreds of firewood, but it is limited after all. The most important thing is that Rhodes can condense Trolian cannot produce high-quality firewood, so it is best not to use his creations for regular consumption. Trolian can make ordinary firewood and wait until we get the fourth firewood. After using the firewood, use high-quality firewood made by Rhodes to enhance the strength of the holy fire."

The first defense officer, Chang Lin, also said: "So, Your Majesty, please use the power of fire with caution. Sacrifice is inevitable. Sacrificing yourself to protect the holy fire is an honor for those young men."

In the firelight, Qingyu looked a little aggrieved.

"But, I don't want them to want this kind of glory, I want them to live."

Armando's expression became terrifying: "Your Majesty, if this happens, we will all die."

Qingyu understood their thoughts, but deep down she disagreed. Neither the first elder, the first defense chief, nor the first son of fire had the power to interfere with the king.

At this time, Rhodes' role became apparent.

He rejected all the requests that Qingyu couldn't refuse, he rejected all the suggestions that Qingyu couldn't refuse, and he came to save all the people that Qingyu couldn't help but save.

As the prince's husband, Rhodes is Trolian's strongest rising star, and is known as the apostle of the Will of Fire. No one dares to have an opinion.

He is even the only one who can hold Qingyu down. Qingyu cannot break free without using all his strength.

Of course, Rhodes rarely does this because his request is more effective than other people's requests and can effectively resist Qingyu's interference and help her make the right decision.

In this way, with the help of Rhodes, Trolian's situation gradually got on the right track.

Everyone gradually accepted the fact that their king was Qingyu, and became familiar with the situation of Rhodes and Qingyu as leaders of Trolian.

To be honest, this situation is not bad, and in many ways, it is even better than the previous one, because Rhodes has both the power of a king and the freedom to act at will.

He can even summon his phantom clones to assist in battles in various areas.

To be honest, Rhodes' clones are so unique. They are completely different from the real person. They appear extremely calm and professional. They speak very little but always hit the point.

When his clone phantom comes there, the situation there will be reversed instantly.

"Perhaps, such wisdom is the real Rhodes." Rovia couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, no one knew that this phantom clone was actually the puppet Avro in the dream. As the former commander-in-chief of the human coalition, it naturally had two skills.

More importantly, Rhodes found a new way to use it——

He used [Phantom of Wind] to summon multiple phantoms and sent them to various places, and the soul of the puppet could switch between different phantoms. In this way, he could eat more than one pie, use one person for multiple purposes, and even Used to convey information and issue orders.

This method is more convenient than any psychic communication. If there is a crisis, he can instantly project his power into the phantom to support the battlefield.

It can be said that it was precisely because of the existence of [Phantom of Wind] that the entire battle situation stabilized as quickly as possible.

However, the crisis was not over, and as the night continued, worse things happened.

Some new black mist symbionts have appeared. They are obviously different from Amidala's derivatives. They are more like some powerful existences in the past. Some of them have even reached level 17 in psychic strength.

Without being disturbed, they passed directly through the Great Wall of Black Mist and entered the interior of Trorian.

Then disaster struck.

Since they bypassed the four most powerful strongholds, Wangcheng could only send battle groups to eliminate them. Without the protection of fire, the battle in the wild was extremely difficult. The performance of a strong king outside was even worse than that of a weak king. Wangcheng It usually takes several times the combat power of the monster to destroy it.

Only Rhodes is less affected. Although he will be suppressed by the black mist, he is not a fire wielder and will not be weakened by the weakness of fire. But after all, he is only one person. No matter how many phantoms he can separate, he will still be overwhelmed. .

Fortunately, the Industrial Machinery Research Institute played a great role at this time. Their psychic creations were not affected at all. The more powerful war golems were able to enter the battlefield and fight against the black mist symbiote.

The Forbidden Armed Forces and Kalil also played a good role at this time. They are both combat powers that are not affected by fire and black mist, and they become particularly important in this situation.

However, even so, the situation in Trolian is inevitably sliding into the abyss.

The White Tower observed through its big eyes that a new round of black tide was rising on the dark plain. Countless black mist symbionts and monsters were mixed together and were rushing towards the royal city.

Trorian's important barrier, the Great Wall of Black Mist, is gradually failing.

Not only did it not play a role in blocking monsters, but due to the excessive concentration of black mist, some black mist symbionts became more powerful. The White Tower even observed the birth of new black mist symbionts in the Great Wall of Black Mist!

The situation has become critical. Once the Great Wall of Black Mist fails, the entire Trolian defense system will collapse.

At this time, two good news finally came from the royal city. Olivia and Dark Moon completed their final promotions and entered the realm of true kings. There were two more true kings in Trorian. .

Taro, who absorbed the legacy of the King of Bright Light, finally woke up.
