The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 821 - 451: A New Step_2

Horus suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "A new Fire Spark? You ignited the eleventh Fire Spark?"

"Yes, haven’t I mentioned..."

Before he could finish, the light from Horus’s body burst forth, coalescing into a mirror behind him that reflected his soul.

"Ah, ah, yes, a new echo, a new trajectory, a new melody, this is the new Fire Spark! You’ve ignited the eleventh Fire Spark!"

Rod felt Horus grip his hand with extreme force, compelling him to solidify his Spiritual Energy and strengthen his Spiritual Defense.

But Horus was oblivious, his withered face resembling a burning tree trunk, sending sparks flying.

"So that’s how it is, I remember now, let me see what this Fire Spark is called."

"Hmm, its melody is ethereal, full of philosophical flavor, like a wise thinker, inclusive, accommodating, ingesting, this Fire Spark must be called ’Philosopher’, right?"

Before Rod could reply, Horus suddenly thought of something and denied it repeatedly.

"No, no, that’s wrong, I’m just talking nonsense, better let the professionals at the Mechanical Research Institute do the translation, their translations are authoritative, official, and can be stored in the archives of the Great Book Library, I’m just speaking off the cuff, Lord Theodore cough, cough, cough..."

Rod’s mouth moved slightly, he actually thought the name wasn’t bad.

Though "Philosopher" has nothing to do with "Blank," it still sounds somewhat artistic, those professional translators from the Mechanical Research Institute always translate recklessly, he really didn’t want another bizarre Fire Spark name.

Fortunately, Horus believed his excuse and didn’t question why he recovered so quickly.

In fact, Horus was worried about Rod’s Healing Potions, his body seemed like an endless pit, consuming twelve barrels of Life Water and high-concentration Spiritual Power Potions daily.

These are extremely valuable resources, and the Royal City’s stock is already running low, with demand high everywhere.

If Alan had not voluntarily given up his share, Rod might have faced an embarrassing shortage of potions.

Later, under the King’s suggestion, Olivia, Kai, Jelaba, and other Special Level Combatants successively gave up their shares, but consuming so many precious potions was a huge burden on the Royal City.

You should know that the distribution of Life Water and high-concentration Spiritual Power Potions in a region is calculated by drops.

Only Rod uses barrels.

Even the Special Level Combatants do not use as much as he does.

But after all, he is the most dazzling new star, one of the few hopes of the Royal City.

If he perished, it would undoubtedly be a loss on par with that of a Special Level Combatant.

Upon learning of the situation from Horus’s report, the King immediately ordered saving Rod at all costs.

Horus had initially prepared for every eventuality, but he didn’t expect Rod to wake up early without any after-effects.

This was the best news he had received in recent days.

Horus’s joy was indescribable, he even had the impulse not to send Rod into battle again.

Of course, this was impossible, as the battlefield outside Starry Sky City had deteriorated severely, with numerous potentially threatening monsters appearing within the danger zone; eliminating them all before the Day of the Return of the Stars was basically impossible.

Now, the Royal City’s battle plan has been modified to clear these threats as much as possible, leaving the rest for the decisive battle day.

This is a desperate measure, carrying great risks; Horus was worried and racking his brain to clean up as much as possible.

Rod also felt very uneasy. If the Holy Fire plan ultimately failed and humans couldn’t seize the Holy Fire Seed, the divinity he gained from the battlefield outside Starry Sky City might not be accounted for, or at least be significantly reduced.

This is because they are based on the premise that they help humans acquire the Holy Fire Seed. freёnovelkiss-com

If it doesn’t help humans acquire the Holy Fire Seed, merely killing monsters holds little significance for humanity, so there won’t be much divinity gained, perhaps only a few points.

This is a certainty established in the Book of Knowledge and the Book of the Future in Star Square.

Rod didn’t quite understand this.

"What if the moment of the stellar flare arrives before the final battle? Can the divinity already in hand still be returned?"

The Book of Knowledge replied, "Divinity in an uncertain state will not be acquired by the Dream Realm, and in rare instances, the Dream Realm may fall into a negative divinity deficit state, which would lead to very terrifying things if not returned over time."

Rod asked incredulously, "Why would such a bizarre thing happen?"

The Book of Knowledge flipped its pages, not responding with consciousness, but writing words on paper very cautiously.

"The acquisition of divinity involves the most fundamental Source Law of the world, and the Obelisk that operates all is an unimaginably great creation. You and I lack in-depth knowledge about them; acting according to their rules is what we should do."

Rod pursed his lips. Whether it’s divinity, humanity, spirituality, or stars, souls, they all are related to the Obelisk, the core of the Dream Realm is also the Obelisk.

Yet he knew nothing about the Obelisk.

Apart from acting according to its rules, Rod knew nothing about it.

It seems that the answer to this question can only be sought after I become the legendary King of humanity.

Rod sighed and didn’t ask further.

So, when he heard the situation from Horus, he became deeply concerned.

"Archbishop, is there no other way?"

Horus shook his head slightly, unwilling to discuss this matter further.

"This is not something for you to worry about, the Royal City will do its best to reinforce, every strong person will fight with all their might, that is enough, victory or loss is just a result, not something that existed beforehand."

Rod was silent, then asked after a moment, "How is the Death Ridge battlefield?"

A slight smile appeared on Horus’s serious face.

"The victory at Death Ridge is truly significant, the hidden dangers of the Death Spirit Passage have been completely eliminated, and the exploration of the battlefield has yielded a lot of very useful information."

"We have confirmed that this is the site of the last stand of the Starry Kingdom’s last battalion. After Starry Sky City was destroyed, about two million people fled, the highest Star Council led them southwest, attempting to preserve this Fire Spark."

"Unfortunately, they were attacked by an Ancient God and eventually perished to the last."

"An Ancient God?" Rod asked incredulously, as in his impression, Ancient Gods didn’t seem particularly strong.

"Yes, a true Ancient God, not a remnant body, soul fragment, or shattered will, but an Ancient God that fell into darkness and became a Black Fog Symbiont."

Horus’s tone became low.

"Ye Feng and Jessica excavated countless corpses from the battlefield, including those of the other nine Great Star Priests of the highest Star Council."

"They had been heavily corrupted by the Black Fog but hadn’t turned into monsters, some mysterious power was affecting them, preventing them from fully becoming monsters."

Horus looked into Rod’s eyes, speaking each word distinctly.

"This isn’t the first time, in the Storm Castle siege, we also found similar strange phenomena, they too belonged to the Starry Kingdom’s Starry Knight Order, and you were involved in that too."

Rod was startled, quickly recalling the event, he remembered when the White Tower sent an order, thinking these corpses were very dangerous, ultimately forcing the scholars to burn those bodies.

Horus said solemnly, "We later discovered that order was fabricated by Doomsday believers."

"We were always deeply regretting this until this time we encountered it again."

"After researching by scholars in the Royal City, we believe it’s a power of the Starry Queen."

"In our opinion, the Starry Kingdom has a power capable of stopping the transformation into Black Fog creatures, a secret we might uncover inside Starry Sky City."

This battle was of unprecedented significance for humanity.

Rod was about to speak words of comfort when suddenly, the door was banged open, and a gigantic figure stepped into the room.

He wore only his shorts, his muscular body bare and imposing, with a coarse rope slung across his shoulder.

"I need someone to assist me."
