The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1875 - 848: Battle of Corruption

As Rod returned to the Fallen Ship, he was startled to find an even greater assembly of elite warriors than before. The spreading firelight surged into the Black Domain like a sea, dispersing much of the terrifying Black Fog.

It seemed that the temporary retreat of Saint Longde was merely to better organize the next assault.

Inside the Black Domain, the battle had already begun. The burning frontline charged at the Black Fog Symbionts, with warriors sheltered by the Great Resonance Plate brought from Trolian, piercing through the waves of Black Fog Symbionts like countless daggers.

"The Great Resonance Plate is truly the product of a miracle."

Rhein exclaimed.

"With it, the warriors can unleash their powers exponentially."

Romano laughed and said, "The collision of civilizations always gives birth to countless new wisdom."

Solos glanced over the battlefield and said in a deep voice, "It’s still not enough. The rate of birth of Black Fog Symbionts still exceeds the rate of their extermination. According to Prophetic City, within this Black Domain, all Black Fog Symbionts are derivatives of the Black Fog Primordial Body. The more symbionts there are, the stronger the power of the Primordial Body becomes."

Rhein pondered and said, "It sounds a bit like the Divine Country of an Ancient God."

Solos nodded slightly: "Indeed. This Black Domain is the Divine Country of the Black Fog Primordial Body. The Fallen Ancient God and His Divine Country have both decayed."

Rod was shocked and immediately realized that if they didn’t annihilate all these Black Fog Symbionts, or at least most of them, it would be difficult to defeat the Black Fog Primordial Body of the Fallen Ship.

But in such a vast Black Domain, the number of Black Fog Symbionts was innumerable, and they were continuously emerging. To annihilate them all would require their current forces to increase by at least tenfold.

However, Rod heard Solos say, "All primordial powerhouses will enter the center of the Fallen Ship with us. I’ve brought the strongest Guardian Fire, enhanced with the blessing from His Majesty the Holy Emperor. The black fog in the central region can no longer obstruct us."

Rod was surprised: "Are we directly challenging the Black Fog Primordial Body?"

Solos calmly said: "Yes. After the last battle, Prophetic City obtained enough samples. I have basically figured out everything I wanted to know. If the prophecy is correct, the Black Fog Primordial Body of the Fallen Ship should be the Ancient Space God, whose divine name is Di Ma."

Rod was deeply shaken, instantly recalling the [Twisted Composite Soul] he acquired, which clearly stated that the three sub-gods at the end of the Ancient Epoch, after their campaign failed, came to seek the relics of the Ancient Space God.

Then, is the Fallen Ship the shattered Divine Country of the Ancient Space God? Is the Black Fog Primordial Body the fallen soul of the Ancient Space God?

"But—"

Rhein appeared very anxious.

"Didn’t you say Prophetic City has never found the danger in this battle?"

Solos nodded: "Yes. Even though we’ve clarified everything, we still can’t find this unknown danger. Based on what I see now, I personally believe the unknown danger might be time."

Rhein was astounded: "What do you mean? What’s up with time?"

Solos glanced at him.

"Rhein, I feel your wisdom has diminished, as if your intellect has been sapped."

Rod frowned slightly, wondering what was going on. Could it be due to the Dark Spirit’s influence?

Rhein seemed quite displeased: "Solos, although you’re one of the three leaders of Saint Longde, you cannot insult my intelligence! My intellect is unparalleled, even if compared to Rod."

Rod glanced at him; this guy’s intellect indeed seemed lacking.

If it truly was due to the influence of the Dark Spirit, it should be taken seriously.

But strangely, Solos did not dwell on the matter and, after a brief pause, continued speaking.

"The Black Fog is still strengthening."

"Since the arrival of Eternal Night, the strength of the Black Fog has been continuously rising. Cosmic pollution is descending, Spirit Realm pollution is seeping in, and the pollution of the Sea of Source is reflecting back. The quantification of the Black Fog in the Material World is expanding significantly. The tower has already observed several such phenomena. Source Black Fog is spreading throughout the world, and the once-thin black fog is vanishing, while the derived curse of black death is tracing back."

"And in areas originally occupied by Source Black Fog, strength is steadily increasing. The initial Black Fog of level 9 is significantly rising."

Rod knew that in Saint Longde, the strength of Source Black Fog is gauged against the tier of Holy Fire. Level 9 represents the strongest initial Black Fog, capable of extinguishing even the Holy Fire. The regions it enveloped are truly forbidden zones.

Suddenly, Rod understood what Solos was implying.

"This Black Domain is the same."

"According to the observations of Prophetic City, its strength is also rising, especially in the central region. Its rate of increase far surpasses the overall Black Fog enhancement rate. The Great Shepherd Leader informed me that if this continues, in the near future, this Black Domain will be filled with the terrifying initial Black Fog."

Solos’s voice was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

"I believe the unknown danger among the causes stems from this."

The air grew silent, battle ripples swept by, and the rumbling sounds were incessant. Yet, everyone felt as if they were in an absolutely silent space.
