The Last King Of Darkness

The Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground is the core of Trolian, the foundation upon which the entire Human Kingdom relies for survival, the source of light and fire. Logically speaking, there is no safer place in the entire Trolian Kingdom. Even the King has said that he is invincible beneath the Holy Fire.

Sending the King of the Deep Sea to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground will only result in the King killing him.

But Rod still had some concerns—what if?

Aren't those unimaginable accidents always happening like that? What's more, the prophecy says the King will face a great calamity once.

Could it be this time?

But almost the next second, Rod saw a deep black text flash before his eyes.

[Deep Sea King Asdes' Dark Soul]

[King's Soul]

[Possesses 1 Strong Source]

[Possesses 10 Sources]

[Possesses 50 Nightmare Fuels]

[Asdes was once one of the twelve Kings of Giants, killed in the Giant Royal Court battle, and after falling, corrupted, becoming one of the terrifying sources in the Spirit Realm]

Seeing that long string of text, Rod's face turned into a smile.

Sure enough, the King of the Deep Sea's Soul did not disappoint him.

This powerful King Level Monster not only possesses 1 Strong Source but also 10 Sources and 50 Nightmare Fuels.

If he obtains another soul like this, he can ignite the next Great Star!

At this rate, maybe it won't take long before he truly steps into the Special Level domain, and the Dream Realm will become even stronger.

And when he gets the Dream Fragment he wants from the Ice Prison, the speed will be even faster!

"Master, you succeeded!"

The voice of the Book of Knowledge came from his mind.

"Deep Sea King Asdes has been slain by us!"

In his excitement, Rod carefully looked at the dark soul several times and asked, "Book, what about the Dark Devourer's Star Soul?"

"It's in its bone ash."

Rod was puzzled, "Why is it in the bone ash?"

"Because it is not just a Star Soul, but contains Star's energy. It must have a carrier. After the previous master separated it, it was definitely sealed in some physical material, so now, it must be lying in the bone ash left by the King of the Deep Sea."

Rod was immediately reassured. Since the King of the Deep Sea was killed by the King at the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, its bone ash would definitely not be lost. He could find an excuse to request this bone ash.

With his privileges, even for the bone ash of a King Level Monster, there would be no problem.

At this moment, with the disappearance of the King of the Deep Sea, the dark deep sea dissipated.

The Divine Tower was instantly enveloped by starlight.

The phantom of the puppet slowly dissipated. In this battle, it didn't have much presence, but Rod saw it seize the gaps in the battle many times, trying to inflict wounds on the King of the Deep Sea.

With its Spiritual Power Strength not even at level 12, it definitely performed extraordinarily.

If the scene of the battle shifted to the Dream Realm and it was given some divinity, the battle prowess displayed would be entirely different.

Rod returned his thoughts and lifted his head, suddenly realizing the starlight was dissipating.

He clearly felt the spirit of the Starry Queen was going away.

"Queen... are you leaving?"

"Yes, little Rod..."

The gentle voice of the Starry Queen echoed beside him, carrying infinite affection coupled with irrevocable resolution.

"I am just a collection of past trajectories, a mark left by time, an echo that once resonated. My existence is not permitted... thank you for allowing me to have this beautiful piece of time. The experience of fighting alongside you all is one of my loveliest memories, even though nothing of it will remain afterwards, I am still grateful."

The starry sky dissipated a hundred times faster, the purple light quickly dimmed, and the spirit of the Starry Queen was about to disappear.

This departure is forever.

For some unknown reason, Rod felt an inexplicable reluctance growing in his heart, perhaps due to the astonishing battle just now where the Starry Queen exhibited powerful and diverse methods—meteors, gravity field, time slowdown, instant teleportation, and large-scale, long-distance space-time shifts.

These are the domains of Stars, space-time, gravity, and earth.

As the strongest in the Starry Kingdom, the Starry Queen possesses the strongest power in these three domains.

Her Star Characteristics are the most complete.

But now, this Soul Trait has vanished. Without the purest Star Source, nobody can obtain the mysterious protection of the Stars.

It's not the Dream Realm's "Stars," but the real stars in the Outer Spirit Realm that are infinitely deep, infinitely far, and infinitely large, which can influence the Material World through movement trajectories.

If someone could master such strength and become his ally, wouldn't that be wonderful!

Rod was incredibly regretful, yet he didn't know what to say, so he could only watch as the spirit of the Starry Queen dissipated.

"Farewell, little Rod."

The Starry Queen's lighthearted voice sounded like the gentle breeze at the ear.

"This world is cruel, yet beautiful. I love it, love people like you, but I'm not coming in my next life."

"This is a gift for you, it contains the trajectory of the Stars, capable of growing into the Soul Trait of a Star. I hope it can be of use to you."

Within his soul, Rod felt a semi-transparent object fall down, landing at the foot of the Obelisk.

"What is this... Queen, you..."

The Starry Queen smiled and said, "Goodbye, kind Master of Dreams. May we meet again in the world of dreams and find each other's worth."

With her words, her spirit completely dissipated.
