The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1662 - 779: Prelude to Victory_2
Of course, he is rather special; his soul body is thin, so he doesn’t possess strong Spiritual Energy, but his "devouring stool power" is equivalent to a Strong Monarch level. According to Rod’s estimation, it is at least equal to about 10 units of Strong Source.
Asa, with his powerful soul essence, managed to wield this filthy power impressively.
He himself condensed a Soul Weapon, a trident. He claims it is called "Infinite Filthy Strike," capable of contaminating the souls it pierces, decaying them into a stool-like liquid, which he then absorbs.
However, Asa’s fighting process is truly unbearable to watch, especially after he devoured those "ancient feces" found in various places. His entire soul turned the color of poo; the filthy projections and disgusting scenes resembled a more horrifying abyss.
Rod feared contaminating the pure warriors’ minds and thereby eroding his Divinity, so he sent him off to fight in a remote, uninhabited area.
But his efficiency is remarkably high, second only to the puppet, and he was the sole person in the entire human legion, besides Horus, capable of individually challenging dozens of Black Fog Symbionts —
His tactic was simple: erode them with filthy curses, then block their attacks with a wall of excrement, wait until their soul bodies were so filled with waste energy that they couldn’t operate, and then turn them into feces.
Although less efficient, it was still deadly.
However, the primary targets of the Phantoms were not these creatures, but the three Great Ghost Kings —
The Evil Ghost King, the Evil Spirit King, and the Devil King.
He simultaneously poured countless quantities of Humanity and Spirituality into the Evil Ghost Stone Tank, creating numerous Evil Spirit Kings and Devil Kings.
As their commander, the Evil Ghost King’s strength grew significantly, reaching the Monarch Level.
These Ghost King armies were Rod’s main force.
Individually, their power wasn’t strong, but under the mental command of the Evil Ghost King, they could naturally share Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Power Strength of one Evil Spirit King was about 150,000 kilocons, and a Devil King was less than 200,000.
Yet, when 100 Evil Spirit Kings and 100 Devil Kings were combined, their Spiritual Power Strength suddenly soared to 35 million kilocons, which, despite being weak Spiritual Energy, lacked Strong Source Law, but their sheer Spiritual Power Strength allowed them to crush most monsters.
More terrifyingly, they shared life and distributed damage; even the strongest attack could only kill a few Evil Spirit Kings or Devil Kings.
As long as the central Evil Ghost King remained unharmed, the Ghost King army would never disperse and could always be replenished with Evil Spirit Kings and Devil Kings to restore its power.
The Book of Knowledge told Rod that the Ghost King army was the most powerful shield in the Dream Realm, forever at the front, absorbing most of the damage.
But unlike the Divine Country, when combined, they became a true entity, with their Spiritual Power Strength limited by the Black Fog, capped at 40 million kilocons.
This was also their limit.
Of course, in time, Rod would break this limit, but for now, the Ghost King army at 40 million kilocons was sufficient.
Thus, under the sweep of the Phantoms and the Ghost King army, the monsters inside and outside Saint Reel dwindled rapidly, and Rod himself was like a walking agent of destruction. Everywhere he went, either a star-like downpour or wildly twisting massive black tendrils swept away monsters like dust.
Occasionally, he would use [Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies].
Now, the initial Spiritual Power of [Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies] was 10 million kilocons, reaching the limit of 17-level Spiritual Energy in 4 seconds.
As soon as Rod raised his hand, a pillar of destructive light turned all noise into silence.
Even the Black Fog Symbionts couldn’t resist and were instantly burned to ashes.
And these ashes were unceremoniously swallowed by Rod and transformed into Ash Cores through the [Glutton].
During this period, Rod had already obtained tons of ashes, transforming them into tens of thousands of Ash Cores.
These powerful energy cores contributed immortally to Trolian’s entry into a new era of Spiritual Energy.
And the Book of Knowledge proved it was highly proficient in cultivating plants.
It added over a million units of Soul Residue and several thousand Spiritual Flowers to the Sea of Flowers, increasing the Spirituality in the soil by a hundredfold.
The growth rate of Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass had reached dozens of times their normal state.
However, this still fell short of Rod’s desired efficiency, and the Book of Knowledge was not satisfied, either.
But with its proficiency in plant cultivation, it quickly pinpointed the problem.
Lacking the breath of life.
The Sea of Flowers lacked the Holy White Tree.
Thus, Rod immediately brought a Holy White Tree Fruit from the Royal City.
The Book of Knowledge planted it in the center of the Sea of Flowers.
Under the stimulation of countless Soul Residue and Spirituality, and the influence of colorful dreams, a new Holy White Tree germinated and sprouted in the Dream Realm, breaking through the soil.
The Book of Knowledge excitedly told Rod: "This is the Great Holy White Tree. It is not a vassal of the Royal City’s Holy White Tree, but an independent new Holy White Tree. Given time, it too can branch out like the one in the Royal City, influencing all things."
Of course, even in the Dream Realm’s environment, it would still take hundreds of years to grow to that stage. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
However, though this Great Holy White Tree was currently only a seedling, its presence already brought boundless breath of life to the Dream Realm.
The Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass in the Sea of Flowers suddenly grew crazily, the Spirit Grass sprouted and formed, and the Spirit Flowers branched and blossomed.
In a short time, they completed months or even years of growth.
The Book of Knowledge excitedly told Rod: "This is because they finally have a foundation, the Life Breath of the Holy White Tree containing the necessary factors for their growth, allowing their fertile soil and rich spirituality to fully exhibit their power."
The harvest in the Sea of Flowers was beyond imagination, and even Rod, with the power of the True King, spent considerable time harvesting these Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass.
When these Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass were transported by the ton to the Royal City, everyone’s eyes nearly popped out.
Looking at these mountains of Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass stacked like haystacks, Logistics Chief Hullen, and Wind, along with all the pharmacists in the pharmacy, and all the elders of the Supreme Council, were all left expressionless, as if they were in a dream.
Even the King rarely expressed exclamation.
"Your reproductive ability is indeed strong."
This sentence was unknowingly overheard by someone, and soon after, a rumor that caused Rod much trouble began to circulate in the Royal City.
But for now, Rod was still immersed in joy, already foreseeing endless Divinity coming his way.
And at this time, Rod had become increasingly aware of the importance of Divinity.
Before the invasion, he still had two opportunities to awaken stars.
Undoubtedly, these two opportunities were given to the last two Great Stars —
[Truth] and [Song of Life].
What surprised Rod was that awakening these two stars required an additional 500 Divinity each.
If he hadn’t prepared in advance by allocating some Divinity, these two stars could not have been awakened at all.
The Book of Knowledge also regained some of its old memories because of this, telling Rod that unless there was a special need, the Divinity needed for awakening a Great Star is 500, plus 100 to activate the Star Tower, totaling 600.
A Giant Star is 2000, plus 100 makes 2100, with some Giant Stars being even more expensive.
Rod finally understood the rules of awakening stars.
It seemed that the [Destruction Sphere] had been a real rip-off, with the Divinity required for awakening reaching as high as 3600, 80% more than ordinary Giant Stars.
And yet it was utterly useless, only adding 1 billion Strength and 100 Source Energy.
Though [Sacrifice] wasn’t particularly useful either, it did at least provide 3 billion Strength and 300 Source Energy.
In comparison, it was far superior to the [Destruction Sphere].
The [Destruction Sphere] really is rubbish!
Rod was quite dissatisfied, but it was too late to complain now.
He needed to quickly complete the Ascension Ceremony for Sun Knight Kai, to gain the last portion of Divinity before the invasion as much as possible.
