The Last King Of Darkness

The soul of the Shattered Abyss?

Rod could hardly believe his eyes. The name of this monster is "Shattered Abyss"?

Of course, is it part of the Abyss?

Recalling that massive body, Rod felt that this speculation might be reasonable.

But the description of the monster soul made him frown: "A broken body of an unknown existence? Is this a remnant of some True God? It was drained of all power, lying dormant beneath this Abyss, becoming part of the Abyss, until I triggered the forbidden mist, which corrupted it into this terrifying monster?"

The Book of Knowledge shouted joyfully: "Master, we’ve won, we’ve repelled the counterattack of the black fog! This is our first true victory facing darkness; the power originating from the black fog has been thoroughly eliminated by us!"

The Book of Eternity, Asa, also shouted crazily: "Light, light pierces through the darkness, dawn breaks the night, we truly have won! The black fog has no container to descend upon! We have truly triumphed in the contest against the genuine black fog!"

The puppet kneeled on the spot, seemingly praying to an unknown presence, whispering words no one could hear: "A miracle beyond belief, is this [his] blessing?"

Beside it, Asa snorted: "Of course, what is there to be surprised about? The master is destined to win, to defeat the black fog, just as justice triumphs over evil, light over darkness, feces over a monster without feces."

Rod’s vision blurred momentarily. He didn’t expect that he could win in such a battle. This is undoubtedly the most powerful black fog taboo ever encountered. The feedback from the source far surpasses all previous ones. To say it’s facing the true black fog is not an exaggeration. And his victory is entirely due to these four broken source artifacts, which exhausted their last bit of power under the influence of the "Eternal Dream," allowing him to enter the true Primordial Realm in a very short time.

The power of the unrestrained "Justice Execution" was truly overwhelming.

"Master!"

The Book of Knowledge jumped onto the soul altar at that instant, immediately emitting an unprecedented scream: "Relics, in the remnant body of the monster, there are countless relics, brought into the dreamscape by its soul... My god, I’ve never seen so many relics, at least nearly a thousand portions."

Rod felt a tremor in his heart and quickly turned his gaze, seeing countless tiny specks of dust scattering in all directions on the soul altar, mingling into the air, yet reappearing on the Soul Wilderness.

That barren and tranquil wilderness was at this moment engulfed by the dust of relics, the entire space permeated with the past’s dust, flying towards the embers of countless stars, that was once glory, past honor, although long extinguished by time, yet still reignited at that moment in the dreamscape.

Rod clenched his fist, an indescribable feeling surged within him, as if the heroic spirits of the past gathered in the dreamscape at this moment, fighting against the black fog alongside him. He was never alone, never alone.

"Hahahahaha!"

The Book of Knowledge frantically flipped through its pages, running around the soul altar: "They’re back, all back, our stars, our power!"

After what seemed forever, the Soul Wilderness finally returned to tranquility.

Rod glanced at the wilderness where at least half of the embers had regained completeness, and among the ignited stars, most of them had found their relics.

The Book of Knowledge called out excitedly: "[Justice Execution][Star Shuttle][Blank][Eye of Divine][Sacrifice][Destruction Sphere][Light Deviation][King of Night], all restored, plus [Blood Contract Revival][Truth] and [Song of Life] found in the river of time, all our stars can be rekindled."

Rod sighed softly: "That’s wonderful, next, as long as I have enough divinity, I can ignite all stars. When the 25th soul position appears, I can ascend to the pinnacle of the quasi-King. At that time, reclaiming that mighty power is not a fantasy; the prophecy of the [Tower of Ashes] was indeed correct, the star relics are indeed here."

Asa from the Book of Eternity curiously asked: "Why does this monster’s body contain so many relics?"

The Book of Knowledge flipped its pages and replied: "The Abyss is the lowest layer of the Three Realms. The position’s torrents scour and converge all remnants left by time here, so it’s understandable that many relics are in the depths of the Abyss. What’s bizarre is why they would be in this monster’s body."

Rod frowned slightly; he too felt it strange. Is there something special about this "fragment of the Abyss"? What exactly is this "unknown existence’s broken body"? If it is the fallen True God, why would it be "drained of power"? During this endless time, why hadn’t the black fog corrupted it? Not until he triggered the black fog’s taboo was it used as a container and corrupted?

"No way!"

Suddenly, Rod noticed another issue.

"Where is the relic of [Glutton]?"

The Book of Knowledge’s body trembled as it realized that the master’s star, there was still one unlit.

This star is very special; its function is to devour ash, producing special creations, such as the "Ash Core" that can store massive energy, and the high-quality "Fire Kindling." It’s also Rod’s only unawakened star, as its awakening condition is to retrieve its relic.
