Coming to this ancient city that had been abandoned countless times again, Rhodes felt quite emotional.
In less than two weeks, there are almost no traces of their battle here.
The black fog drowned everything, making it look like no one had ever been here.
New monsters were born in the areas that had been cleared. In such a short period of time, the strength of these monsters reached the strong level.
Although it was just a matter of punch and sword under Rhodes, which did not pose much of a threat, the incident itself was enough to scare people.
Annabeth deeply felt the terror and coldness, and the huge horse couldn't help but leaned closer to Rhodes, and asked in a low voice: "Why do these monsters grow so fast? You obviously killed them not long ago." Rhodes replied in a deep voice: "The concentration of the black mist here is very high, and the monsters born are naturally very strong, you see."
He pointed casually and saw thick black liquid flowing on the broken ground.
"Blackwater!"
Annabeth was startled.
"Why is there black water here? It wasn't there last time we came here."
Black water is a derivative very close to the original black mist and has super corrosive power. Its secondary product is the strong corrosive substance most commonly used by doomsday cultists to extinguish fires.
Mephis whispered: "It's Asdeath, the King of the Deep Sea."
Rhodes is very clear about this aspect. He explained in detail: "Monsters are the embodiment of the dark law and the quantified product of the black mist. Their existence itself is pollution. The more monsters there are, the more black mist...
The thicker it must be, and vice versa. The King of the Deep Sea is a king-level monster with super pollution. It is a terrifying existence in the spiritual world. When it comes here, a terrifying source of pollution will appear, and black mist will gather here.
, forming an effect similar to a black cave."
Annabell felt a deep chill all over her body, and asked in a trembling voice: "So, where powerful monsters exist, there must be a dark cave?"
Rhodes nodded slightly: "Yes, if we can see far away, we can see that in an area, if there is a point with a concentration much higher than the surrounding black fog, then there must be a powerful person here.
monster."
Mavis glanced at Rhodes and put it into a situation that a normal person would encounter.
"If the concentration of black mist suddenly increases while exploring the dark world, you are likely to encounter a powerful monster with a psychic strength of at least level 15. If it is a king-level monster, the heavy source of power will still be there.
It makes the space slightly distorted and sink, forming a well-area effect."
Rhodes glanced at her in surprise.
"Mavis, you know so much."
Mavis calmly replied: "I have participated in some very cruel missions... they told me."
Rhodes asked: "Is it more cruel than the Battle of the Abyss?"
Mavis nodded slightly.
"Much crueler."
"Wow!" Annabeth looked at Mavis with admiration: "You are so powerful... You must have been very strong at that time, right?"
Mavis said calmly: "That was one of the very few moments when I completely released the shackles of the soul curse and received the king's blessing."
Rhodes smiled and said: "What about now?"
Mavis looked at him with her silver eyes: "If you can't show the power you said, I will immediately run away with Annabeth."
"Isn't this too heartless? Where is our bond? Where is our undying agreement? Where is the oath we made under that old crooked neck tree? Just forget it?"
Annabeth opened her eyes wide and kept looking at Rhodes and Mavis.
"Isn't it? When did you..."
There was a rare hint of embarrassment in Mavis's silver eyes: "He is lying..."
Rhodes sighed deliberately: "Okay, I won't force it. If I die in this battle, please live well and take my share."
This time, Mavis was not only embarrassed, but also had a rare blush on her face. However, she, who was usually not good at words, didn't know how to explain it, but Annabeth on the side believed it.
"Don't worry! I will fight until the last moment! Mephis, you will too, right?"
Mavis didn't know how to answer, so he had to remain silent.
Rhodes snickered in his heart and deliberately pretended to be bitter and hateful to open the way.
The journey went very smoothly. They followed the last route and arrived at the Twin Towers without any obstruction.
As Mavis said, there is indeed a sense of sinking in this area, as if there is an invisible force bending the space.
"The King of the Deep Sea is still in the tower."
Rhodes said in a deep voice.
"It has not left since the last time it entered here. I think it may be the remnant of the ancient god of destiny who was devoured here."
Annabeth suddenly felt a little scared again: "Rhode, can we really defeat this monster?"
Rhodes showed a confident smile.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me, you can just start from a distance."
Annabeth felt relieved. The three of them entered the tunnel they discovered last time and came to the strange space in the tower again.
As soon as I stepped into it, a damp smell hit my face, with a strong rancid smell.
Rhodes suddenly discovered that this space seemed to have been soaked in the seabed for thousands of years. Everything became wet, with kelp-like flocs floating everywhere, and dark green material similar to seaweed covering the ground.
.
The air was filled with thick water vapor, and it was as if we were at the bottom of the sea.
And deep in the tower, Rhodes felt the majestic aura.
Although that terrifying spiritual energy is in a peaceful state, its existence itself is squeezing their souls.
Asdeth, the king of the deep sea, is deep in the tower.
Rhodes said in a deep voice: "Stay back."
As soon as I thought about it, I entered a dream.
The Book of Knowledge, which was repairing the Tower of the Sun, immediately flew over and asked: "Are you ready to fight? Master."
Rhodes nodded: "Aphro, get ready, I'm going to summon the phantom."
The puppet said: "Understood, Master."
Rhodes strode to Eternal Square, where the statue of Queen of Stars stood in the corner, looking lonely.
With a light touch, the need to activate it comes to mind.
"One colorful dream, 10 flowers of humanity."
The Book of Knowledge says: "This demand is minimal and is a legacy of the previous owner."
Rhodes nodded, and with a thought, a colorful dream and ten flowers of humanity floated out of the storage place and fell into his hands.
After taking a look at the items in the storage room, his heart suddenly sank. Now he only has one flower of humanity left, 500 nightmare fuel obtained from the strange shadow, plus so many black mist symbionts.
The colorful dreams that were refined from nightmare fuel are now only 6 copies left.
It seems that I will have to think of ways to do more in the future.
Rhodes thought to himself, gently touching the statue with colorful dreams and flowers of humanity.
The next moment, the colorful dream scattered into countless brilliance and dissipated in the air, and the flower of humanity also flew away, turning into black and white streams of light and sinking into the statue.
After a few seconds, the statue's eyes lit up, the starlight began to flow, and the stars began to shine.
It's alive.
A sigh sounded as if it came from the void.
"Ah, it's you."
"I seemed to have slept for a long time. The priest grandfather did not leave me. My brothers and sisters were surrounding me. Heig, Heig was behind me. The kingdom of stars was prosperous and prosperous. People were happily waiting for the festival to come and chanted.
Poets sang joyful songs in anticipation of the future... That dream was so beautiful that I didn’t want to wake up."
The book of knowledge suddenly became serious.
"Undead from the past, you have died. This is the spirit formed by the aggregation of your past trajectories. You should follow the rules of the summoner and serve us."
The statue's eyes turned around, and a powerful momentum emerged spontaneously.
At this moment, she is the queen of stars, not a cold work of art.
"You're right, I don't like such constraints."
A powerful aura spreads, the space is distorted, and the dream is shaking.
The Book of Knowledge is obviously a little confused.
"What are you doing? Follow orders! Follow orders!"
The doll instantly assumed a fighting stance.
"Master, prepare to fight. The power of the dream is far from restored, and it cannot restrain such a powerful spirit..."
The evil ghost king in the distance rushed over with rumbling steps, and a battle was about to begin.
"Stop!"
Rhodes shouted hurriedly, turned around and immediately bowed deeply to the statue.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, but I need your help. The surviving humans need your help. Haig told me that you will help us."
The statue smiled softly and seemed not to care.
"It's little Rhodes... Your trajectory is very short, but very dazzling. I smell Haig's breath from you. You must have helped him a lot. His soul must rest here.
Really?"
Rhodes nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Oh, that's great, great, Haig, I can finally become one with you again, hee hee hee..."
Along with the light laughter, the statue slowly disappeared, and the powerful spirit seemed to melt into the air.
The Book of Knowledge said ecstatically: "As expected of the master, the spirit has been touched. Please fight quickly and get back the power of dreams!"
Rhodes immediately left the dreamland, and the moment he returned to his body, he summoned the phantom.
At the same time, a golden flash of light flashed across his body and disappeared into the phantom.
The phantom's body suddenly became slender, golden light surrounded it, and two long golden blades protruded from its wrists.
"Master!"
Phantom turned around and half-knelt.
"I'm ready."
But Rhodes didn't answer, his expression became unfamiliar, and purple star mist spread out from his body, forming a long cloak.
"Ah, this is the space inside the legendary tower. I really miss it."
He turned his head and immediately saw Annabeth and Mavis behind him. They looked at the unfamiliar Rhodes in surprise.
"Huh? This, this is... ah, amazing, amazing... worthy of being the successor of Haig."
Rhodes smiled slightly, his eyes gradually turned purple, and golden stars flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he is both Rhodes, the Lord of Dreams, and Lena, the Queen of Stars.
He turned his head and looked into the distance.
"Ah, that's your target, right? Erosion, beating, piercing, protection, the powerful source law of the deep sea, this is the king of the deep sea, Asdeth... You have chosen an amazing and great existence as your enemy." p>
"It looks like I'm going to have to put in a lot of effort... I don't know if I can defeat it. Well, my psychic powers are a bit weak."
As soon as Rhodes thought, he started the spiritual tide.
"Ah, what a powerful spiritual recovery power... That's enough. This one is enough. The stars will help me get more."
"Let the battle begin."
The Queen of Stars tiptoed a little, and her figure floated deep into the space.
Annabeth and Mavis looked at each other and didn't understand why Rhodes was acting so strangely, but they also vaguely guessed that this was the winning power that Rhodes mentioned.
Otherwise, with their strength, it would be impossible to defeat the King of the Deep Sea.
"Should we follow?"
Annabeth asked softly.
"That golden phantom has passed."
Mavis nodded slightly: "Let's stay farther away."
They still don't understand what has happened to Rhodes, so they need to stay away first to ensure safety and to observe the "new Rhodes" fighting style.
"Let's go."
Annabeth loaded up Mavis and followed cautiously, but before she had even taken two steps, a huge wave of psychic energy hit her face.
It was so strong that it knocked Annabell away.
Then a bright light flashed, flooding the entire space.
"They have already fought!"
Mephis immediately brought up his spiritual energy, a cold mist surged all over his body, and he took a step forward to block the impact of the spiritual energy fluctuations.
"Let's go there quickly."
She pulled Annabell up and rushed forward quickly against the huge waves of psychic energy.
The further you go, the stronger the spiritual energy fluctuation becomes. The spiritual energy is screaming, the space is trembling, deep purple light and dark light alternate with each other, and the roar of the King of the Deep Sea fills your ears.
Annabei couldn't stand still and asked almost pleadingly: "Do you want to get closer?"
Mavis did not answer. They had already arrived at the edge of the battlefield. Through the gap in the battle, she saw the figure of the King of the Deep Sea.
It was a terrifying and twisted corrupted giant. His whole body was deeply rotted. Blackened tendons and bones were visible. His body was covered with decayed objects and seaweed. His right arm was broken in half, and the other hand held a trident.
, is fighting fiercely with a ball of shining purple light.
The purple light flashes back and forth in space, its speed is so fast that the trajectory is completely invisible.
The King of the Deep Sea roared angrily and kept stabbing at the purple light with his trident, but he could never hit it.
Meteorites one after another emerged from the deep sky and fell towards the King of the Deep Sea, but they were all swallowed up by the dark waves that surged around the King of the Deep Sea.
The battle was extremely fierce. They had never seen such a terrifying scene. Whether it was the battle of the abyss or the battle of the tower, they were far from this level.
Annabeth was so stunned that she couldn't even lift her hands, and fear filled her heart.
However, Mephis' expression remained unchanged. He raised his right hand, ice gathering in his palm, and pointed at the King of the Deep Sea.
