Chapter 945: Chapter 498: Black Fog Demon (First Update)
Lord?
The moment the Soul Devouring King spoke, Rod was completely stunned.
He immediately recalled the Ancient God Heragotos of Flesh Rebirth.
At that time, after defeating the monster born on His remaining body, His residual spirit flew out, and the first word He spoke was also "Lord."
From the remaining spiritual consciousness of Heragotos, Rod knew that in the Second Epoch when gods were active on earth, the Master of Dreams was also a figure who could dominate an era.
Even the end of the Epoch of Gods was due to the fall of the Master of Dreams on a battlefield called the "Twilight God War."
After that, Rod had repeatedly pondered Heragotos’ words. Based on the information currently in his grasp, that might have been the first shattering of the dream realm.
The figure who dominated the Epoch of Gods was the original master of the dream realm, a powerful being comparable to a god.
His fall ended the Epoch of Gods and ushered in the Fire Epoch, where humans and human heroes began to be active, so the Fire Epoch was also known as the Epoch of Man.
Gods vanished from the earth from then on, leaving only the ancient gods corrupted and eroded, turning into monsters, lurking in the depths of darkness.
And Heragotos, at the time of demise, accepted the prophecy and mission of the Ancient God of Destiny, Yanosadag, escorting the source material of the Great Star, the "Giant God Core," across the river of time, delivering it into Rod’s hands at the cost of life and flesh.
Meanwhile, the Ancient God of Destiny dismembered himself, becoming materials to counter the Black Fog in this way.
However, if Rod remembered correctly, the previous form of the Soul Devouring King was a powerful Holy One, not an ancient god, so why would he also call him "Lord"?
The most unbelievable thing is, he spoke directly in a monstrous form.
In terms of common sense, this is impossible. Rod’s last communication with Heragotos was also conducted after defeating the monster born on His remains, releasing His residual spirit.
Rod hesitated for a moment and asked, "You... who are you?"
The huge Evil Spirit raised his shattered head, gray-white Spiritual Energy scattering in the air.
"I, I am a pathetic failure."
His voice was hollow and chaotic, conveying an indescribable bewilderment.
"My identity, my past, have all vanished in the river of time. I only remember my mission..."
"To offer everything for the great return of the Lord, you will ultimately shatter the Black Fog like thunder, letting light illuminate this world again."
Rod was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe. The Soul Devouring King is a terrifying Black Fog Symbiont, a monster strongly connected to the Black Fog, almost considered an avatar of the Black Fog. In fact, an even stronger Black Fog Symbiont is called a Black Fog Avatar.
It’s simply unbelievable for such a monster to retain its consciousness.
Moreover, it can be alarmed by the feedback from the source of the Black Fog, becoming a Guardian of the Black Fog, eradicating the precursors of the dream realm, and invading into the dream realm in a monstrous form.
In any way of thinking, this is unlikely.
"Time is running out."
The Soul Devouring King lifted his body, and the solid spiritual energy on his body suddenly dispersed, exposing a mass of deep black condensed matter.
"My main body will arrive soon, please damage my core and kill me."
Rod suddenly realized: "You... are in a Spiritual Body State?"
"Yes, great Lord, this is my spiritual body. I have separated the spirit from the soul. The spiritual body will obey the call of the Black Fog and invade, while the soul body will temporarily stay under the castle, within the sealing."
"This is the best opportunity. Once you severely damage my spiritual body, you can easily kill my main body. You will gain a King’s soul and a Strong Source belonging to the ’Active Domain’. My remaining power will form a strong protection, shielding against all disturbances, and before my spirit dissipates, I will tell you everything about the dream realm, helping you quickly recover from exhaustion and dust."
Only then did Rod understand why the Book of Knowledge would open the dream protection and why the mighty Soul Devouring King had weakened.
In the soul, the soul body carries most of the soul’s power, while the spirit is very weak.
But even the weak spirit has reached the strong super rank fifth tier level of strength. When its main body returns, the strength of the Soul Devouring King will be unimaginable.
"Quick, quick, great Lord."
The hollow voice of the Soul Devouring King echoed in the dream realm, bewildering, chaotic, and filled with indescribable noise, as if he was about to lose control soon.
"Time is running out. When the sealed opens, time begins to flow, and my consciousness will soon collapse, becoming a meaningless chaotic ruin. Please touch my core and split it with the blade of will, direct attacks are ineffective."
Rod was momentarily stunned and glanced towards the House of God, and the voice of the Book of Knowledge immediately came from inside.
"Master, there is no threat, his words are credible!"
The voice of the Book of Knowledge was extremely excited.
"Go quickly, the spiritual body core, attacking with will is most effective. This is an unprecedented opportunity. Once we retrieve all the lost past, nothing can stop us from rising again."
"Hahaha, I knew it, a great existence cannot be without a means of revival."
Rod instantly made up his mind, hesitating no more, quickly approached, and gently touched the deep black condensed matter.
In the next instant, darkness enveloped him, as if countless evil beasts rushed at him, crazily tearing at his body.
