The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1363 - 673: They’re All Mine
Royal City.
Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.
Within the golden Holy Fire, the King quietly floated.
His spirit and the Holy Fire had completely merged, and his soul was immersed in the Spirit Realm.
Spirit Realm.
A vast amount of Spiritual Energy centered around the projection of the Holy Fire, forming a vortex, and the energy of the Spirit Realm was being rapidly drawn in.
The speed was so fast that all the surrounding Spiritual Energy had been drained.
The dried-up Spirit Realm cracked like parched earth.
But after just one time granule, infinite Spiritual Energy seeped out from Space, moistening the parched Spirit Realm.
The King Soul had penetrated the Sea of Source through the Spirit Realm, like a funnel continuously drawing up Spiritual Energy from the sea’s bottom layers. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
In this way, after an unknown amount of time, the King finally opened his eyes.
The Spiritual Power Vortex gradually calmed, and the spirit and soul slowly retracted.
He flew out of the Holy Fire, looking visibly exhausted.
"Ah, I was careless."
The King gently exhaled.
"How much Spiritual Energy did that boy borrow from the Void... Didn’t expect it to create such a big hole, filling it up was really tiring... Even the Holy Fire was slightly affected. Before the divine battle arrives, the Holy Fire must be maintained in the best state."
The King found a comfortable posture and sat sideways on the throne, casually picking up a bowl of Soul Soup, drinking it clean in one gulp.
"Hmm, without a heart, recovery is also slow."
"Tsk, another bad weather, the pressure on the Holy Fire has increased, and the pollution of the starry sky is gradually worsening."
"It’d be better to have Rod establish the throne of the Holy King soon."
"Well, this is the most important task, prioritize it at the highest level, let the Supreme Council deploy thirty thousand production personnel, plus a million laborers and civilians, and within a week, the Bright Light City should be built."
The King handled some affairs for a while, but the Fire Priest quickly brought more.
The desk in front of the throne was again piled high.
Even worse, not long after, Defense Chief Ryan himself came.
He started with bad news.
"King, according to the latest calculations by the Military War Department, it’s nearly impossible for us to complete the expansion and the defense setup of Great Dragon City before the God of Contaminated Blood arrives, and the descent ceremony of fire also lacks various resources."
He opened a Spiritual Energy imager and began detailing the difficulties they encountered.
The King listened silently to his words, on the Spiritual Energy imager before him, red dots flashed everywhere.
He quickly summarized the key points.
First, there are too many and too strong monsters, the further outward, the more so.
Second, not enough combat power.
Third, insufficient battle supplies.
Before Ryan finished, Bossivale rushed in.
He had only one issue, lack of resources, especially those necessary for the True King Ceremony, including Soul Residue, Soul Trait Blocks, and some extremely rare minerals.
The two barely said a few words before they began to argue with each other.
Their conflict mainly lay in one point, Bossivale believed that combat power should be prioritized to improve before going into battle.
Whereas Ryan thought the opposite, that combat power and resources should be used to complete the expansion first, then improve afterward, otherwise it would delay time, affecting the layout of defense facilities.
Their argument was not over when Great Priest Megan and Taboo Armament Leader Ryanbeck also arrived at the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.
They hoped the King could allocate more resources to enhance Calier’s secret troops and the size of the Taboo Armament.
The argument immediately escalated.
Bossivale was extremely opposed to these two entities.
In Saint Reel, besides Spiritual Fire and Starfire, there were no other paths.
In his eyes, the Unawakened who fused with monsters, Spirit Bearers who devoured soul traits, and Taboo ones controlled by the Silver Oath were all wrong paths, indistinguishable from monsters, with no future, they should all be cut out and destroyed.
Great Priest Megan and Taboo Armament Leader Ryanbeck jointly refuted, bringing out much evidence to prove their irreplaceable role in battle.
Bossivale despised them greatly, asking only one question.
Not to mention the issues of losing control and turning into monsters, how could the Unawakened, Spirit Bearers, or Taboo ones become Monarch Level? If they have no potential to become Monarch Level, then it is meaningless, a path without upper limits is destined to be a dead end.
However, both had long prepared for this question.
Great Priest Megan presented Annie, Ryanbeck presented Mephit, and once again they started arguing.
Seeing the argument about to escalate, the King suddenly stood up.
The weighty expression made everyone stop arguing, and worried glances all focused on the King’s face.
"Someone broke through to Level 15 Spiritual Energy,"
the King said.
"I felt the tremor of the spirit, it is Level 15 Spiritual Energy."
The next moment, smiles blossomed on everyone’s faces.
In such an urgent battle situation, nothing was more joyful than such news.
Bossivale jumped up saying, "Ah, I felt it too, this specific Spiritual Energy wave is very distinctive."
Great Priest Megan, Emergency Armament Leader Ryanbeck, and Defense Chief Ryan did not have such keen perception, eagerly asking, "Did he break through to Monarch Level?"
The King closed his eyes, "Hmm, the Spiritual Energy is light and nimble, the power is weak, no Law manifests, no Strong Source, unfortunately, only half a step into Monarch Level."
Everyone had a bit of disappointment on their faces, but joy remained the main theme, as it was a good message, not one among many bad ones.
