The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1414 - 690: Strong Monarch

Until the light descended, Rod realized that a destructive power was surging within his soul.

The powerful Spiritual Energy, carrying the heat and weight akin to magma, flowed through his soul.

[Giant God Power] flickered intensely red in his soul, like a beating red heart, pumping in weak Spiritual Energy and pumping out powerful Spiritual Energy influenced by the Strong Source.

At this moment, Rod deeply sensed the existence of the so-called "Strong Source."

It was like an invisible and mighty gravitational force, anchoring his soul firmly to a void ocean.

And that ocean was the legendary Solais Sea.

Also known as the Sea of Source.

The origin of the world, the collection of all laws, the fundamental operation of all principles, the ultimate manifestation of all power, the final destination and initial starting point of Spiritual Energy, deciding everything.

Rod had known about it for a long time, but had never truly interacted with it, nor truly sensed its presence.

Until now.

He deeply felt that he had gained a part of its power, the Strong Source was like a key, a staff of authority, a weapon in a warrior’s hand, granting him the power to control the world.

Almost instinctively, Rod had a thought, and invisible ripples spread, for the first time he clearly felt the presence of the Field.

Everything within the Field was completely under his perception and control.

Rod extended his finger, a point of flame appeared at the fingertip, instantly turning to ice and snow, then melting and gathering into water, and lightning formed on the water’s surface.

A flick of his fingertip, the ice, fire, and lightning shot out, causing approximately 5 units of Spiritual Energy’s destruction, blasting a particle of dust in the Dream Realm.

Rod opened his hands, dust billowed up, engulfing all space within the Field.

But outside the Field, not a single particle of dust existed.

Not far away, the Book of Knowledge, the puppet, and Asa quietly watched his performance, each with different expressions.

But they all knew, their master was not what he once was, he had stepped into the realm of the top tier Strong.

This realm is nearly impossible for ordinary people to enter.

In such a weakened era of living beings, every individual who becomes a Monarch Level Strong must not only have extraordinary talent but also consume an unimaginable amount of rare resources.

Most of them find it hard to progress further after reaching Monarch Level.

The existence of a powerful Monarch is the pinnacle that genius can reach.

They usually also have some kind of "reliance," for example, the King’s reliance is Holy Fire, Rod’s reliance is the Dream Realm, Asa’s reliance is feces.

While the great Monarch is a height that so-called geniuses cannot touch.

At this stage, what truly determines how far they can go is not their own selves but the "reliance" behind them.

As for whether one can truly take that step to become a true King, it depends on the collective "fortune" of the universe.

The Book of Knowledge is not really certain whether the master can become the True King.

Not every Master of Dreams in history has stepped into that realm, and the path to Dream Realm advancement is far more difficult than other paths. It’s a terribly perilous road where every Master of Dreams faces the ultimate dead end of potential demise.

But at some point, the Book of Knowledge gained great confidence in this most unreliable master in history.

"Ah, wonderful, this familiar feeling; it’s back!"

It flapped its pages, letting out a long sigh.

"Only now do I truly feel like I’m returning to the past."

The puppet nodded slightly.

The master below the powerful Monarch is too unfamiliar to it.

Asa snorted, secretly thinking: "What’s so great, wait until I’ve eaten enough feces, then I’ll push you all out of the Dream Realm. When you’ve understood the essence of power, come back and beg me bitterly, then I’ll laugh wildly and showcase all the feces in front of you, without giving you a single piece."

Soon, the dust within the Field settled, but the gale continued, unable to blow up even a speck of dust.

Because for the first time, Rod grasped the true power of authority, he issued his first prohibition:

[Prohibit Flight]

Within the Field, dust rested.

Rod then issued the second prohibition

[Prohibit Gaseous State]

Air condensed into liquid and fell.

Rod felt suffocated, but for a presence of a powerful Monarch Level, this was not a problem; his perfect body could autonomously complete energy conversion—breathing was just a habit, and it could also save a bit of energy.

Afterward, he began testing the limits of authority.

Soon, he discovered that the more absurd the "prohibition," the more Spiritual Energy it consumed; some extreme law changes were even impossible to achieve.

However, at a conventional level, he was the supreme King within this Field.

The kind of arbitrary power made him deeply understand what "law" truly meant.

However, these abilities could only be realized within his Field, once he left the Field, they would vanish immediately.

Moreover, they could not surpass the "Strong Source" level of the [Giant God Power].

Rod suddenly understood why the King could simulate the effects of so many abilities, essentially no different from the "Field."

The only difference is that he can use it outside the Field.

The power to change laws within the "Field" is an auxiliary effect of the authority brought by the Strong Source.

Its real power is its original domain, which is its [Star Soul] and [Star Energy].

This is a transcendent power usable in any location, universally valid "true law" across the universe.
