The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1655 - 777: Advance (First Update)

In the Spirit Realm, Rod had already fought against these Black Fog Symbionts. They not only possessed level 17 Spiritual Energy but also Primordial Spirit Power and Source Level strength. Although they were far from matching the intensity of the Blood God, they still far exceeded typical King Level monsters. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Moreover, they had incredibly strong pollution, and even under the dual defense of the God of Giants and the Flower of Humanity, Rod could still be harmed.

Most importantly, they were derivatives of a more powerful existence, and killing them could not harvest souls.

During the awakening of the [Justice Execution] Star Soul, Rod knew that this powerful existence was Amidala, the Starry Sky Devourer poised to invade the Dream Realm.

These Black Fog Symbionts were called "Amidala’s Offspring," servants of Amidala’s pollution of the Starry Sky.

Now, as the pollution of the Starry Sky arrives, these minions have also reached the Material World.

As soon as they appeared on the battlefield, Rod knew the situation was bad.

However, most of the stronger ones didn’t care much, because Rod or Horus could easily kill them, and the Monarchs could also defeat them together. Warriors, with the support of the Resonance Plate, could rely on numbers to overcome these Black Fog Symbionts.

At first, they had no intention of slowing down, only under Rod’s strong insistence did they slow the pace of the advance.

Horus was quite puzzled by this and came specifically to ask, "Rod, why slow down? According to the exploration report, there is an ultra-large Sun Crystal Mine ahead that could fully replenish Treolian’s resource shortage in terms of Sun Crystals. Bossivale said that as long as we capture it, at least on the level of Sun Crystals, we would be on par with the powerful civilization of the Fire Epoch."

Rod understood his urgency. Ever since Bossivale analyzed that inventory report, the entire Treolian had been filled with an atmosphere of aligning with the Fire Epoch.

They desperately wanted to reach that former height and quickly surpass it.

But it’s not something that can be rushed.

"Archbishop, the number of these Black Fog Symbionts is so vast that I can’t clear them all. If we don’t slow down, we may suffer massive losses."

Horus frowned slightly, "But, according to the Investigation Legion’s report, their numbers have not exceeded the alert threshold within observable range."

Rod said calmly, "I once read an old saying in an ancient ruin: When you see one cockroach, there are already a thousand you can’t see. These Black Fog Symbionts have the ability to hide in Space."

Horus still shook his head slightly.

"I can’t understand this saying, but I trust you."

Thus, with Horus’s support, the restive emotions in the Battle Group were suppressed.

The progression of the frontline turned cautious and meticulous.

Soon enough, the number of Black Fog Symbionts exploded suddenly, filling the battlefield seemingly out of nowhere.

Scout personnel sent to investigate found, deep in the fog, countless shadows emerging from thin air, their numbers so vast they had become uncountable, and they continued to accelerate in growth over time.

The war immediately fell into a quagmire.

Even with two True Kings, over twenty Monarchs, countless Commanders, and legions armed with the Great Resonance Plate at the frontline, they still couldn’t withstand so many Black Fog Symbionts.

Their numbers far exceeded those Rod encountered while guarding the Holy Fire.

After one battle, Rod knew well that even if he unleashed his full power to kill all these Black Fog Symbionts, the price would be extremely high.

Although now, like back in the Spirit Realm, he had an ally who was a True King, that True King ally had only one piece of Root Origin, with Spiritual Power Strength of little more than ten million, far from the might of the King backed by the Holy Fire.

And the Black Fog Symbionts kept coming; after killing the ones present, what about the ones that follow?

At this moment, voices of retreat began emerging within the legion, and even Horus wavered slightly.

But Rod firmly opposed retreat; withdrawing now might waste all previous efforts.

What to do?

Rod’s mind raced, trying to find a way to continue fighting.

His powerful capabilities were many, with various means emerging in succession, but the issue was, whatever method he used, in an extremely intense battle, his Spiritual Energy couldn’t sustain.

Is there a way to eliminate the Black Fog Symbionts without exhausting Spiritual Energy?

Almost instantly, Rod thought of the answer.

King.

Utilize the King’s power.

Only the King possesses nearly infinite Spiritual Energy.

But how to use the King’s power?

The answer is simple.

[Spirit Boat]

Just as when he guarded the Holy Fire in the Spirit Realm.

Back then, he opened the Teleportation Gate and unleashed [Sin’s Touch], sending all Black Fog Symbionts before the King, resolving the crisis of the Holy Fire.

So now, if he opens a Teleportation Gate here, he can similarly open one and use [Sin’s Touch] to throw the Black Fog Symbionts before the King.

With the King’s power, no matter how many Black Fog Symbionts there are, the outcome is the same—burned to ashes by his Flame Giant Sword.

"Hahaha, such a simple solution, why didn’t I think of it sooner? [Spirit Boat] is indeed my most useful Star."

However, in the Spirit Realm, the Teleportation Gate of the [Spirit Boat] had already been opened once.

To open it again within a month, pure Star Marrow must be invested into the Star.

Now, the Star Marrow Refining Furnace of the Royal City is operational, and a great deal of pure Star Marrow has already been refined.
