Chapter 665: Chapter 390: Battle of the Dark Stars (Part 2)

Rod felt his spiritual energy move sluggishly as if lead had been poured into his soul, and he couldn’t even lift his head in his consciousness.

Humanity was slowly being consumed, but it seemed unable to completely resist the erosion.

The puppet shouted, "The erosion of Nightmare Night has begun, Master, eat a Flower of Humanity quickly, or your soul will be parasitized by evil thoughts."

Rod struggled to turn his thoughts, opened the storage, and took out a Flower of Humanity to consume.

In an instant, a breath of fresh air blossomed within his chest. Rod felt his soul become clear in a moment, no longer burdened, and even the Book of Knowledge and puppet were the same; as dream creations, they were affected by the changes in the soul of their dream master.

The puppet said, "The Flower of Humanity can provide a stronger force for soul protection, but its duration is limited, and we only have 5 left."

Rod’s heart sank, knowing the situation was worse than he had imagined.

Then, a voice from the Book of Knowledge came through his consciousness, strained and hoarse.

"Dream Protection... can’t hold on any longer!"

The next instant, an incredibly evil presence hit him in the face, and the entire dream realm filled with the smell of decay; darkness oozed from the edges like a black pus-filled blister being squeezed.

Utilizing the power of the dream, Rod clearly saw it was a huge skull. It was ominously black, sticky decay hung in the rotting crevices, and on the skull, there was a huge hole with uneven bone fragments around the edges that still bore traces of starlight, evaporating under the coercion of darkness.

Rod immediately understood that this must be the damage caused by the Spirit Realm Strike.

Four Spirit Realm Strikes had only managed to break its skull!

Under the skull of Dark Stars wasn’t emptiness, but rather a black, decaying brain.

Rod shouted in surprise, "Is that its weakness?"

But the puppet gave a negative response, "No, that’s its essence."

Rod was taken aback when he saw the brain shift slightly, and the decayed brain tissue moved away from the hole, with a pitch-black eyeball staring firmly at him through the gap. There was no will in that eye, only the lifeless emptiness of death.

The next moment, the eyeball shifted again, hidden within the giant cavity of the skull, leaving only the decaying brain tissue facing them.

Strangely, Rod felt something change in the space, but he couldn’t quite say what had changed.

It was only when he took out the "Twisted Balance" that he realized it could no longer be used.

"Twisted Balance" could forcibly alter the distribution of spiritual energy within an area while maintaining overall balance. It was Rod’s trump card against a single powerful enemy.

He had planned to use it in the crucial battle at Starry Sky City, but with such a terrifying invasion, he wanted to use it ahead of time—only to find it was somehow banned.

The puppet shouted, "Its field has changed the laws here, forbidding the use of ’Twisted Balance’! Dark Stars can identify the items on you that threaten it!"

"Hurry up and strike!" the Book of Knowledge urged. "I’m using the protective force of the dream to suppress it. As soon as its spiritual energy falters, I can tear open its soul vulnerability, and Master will be able to annihilate it!"

Wooh—

A strong humming sound came as the black skull broke through some form of invisible force and moved towards the Obelisk.

The Book of Knowledge screamed, "No! We cannot let it get close to the Obelisk! It has the power to directly corrupt the core of the dream!"

Continuous massive tremors emanated from the dream realm, and their source was the Obelisk.

The puppet shouted, "Master! Give me 5 points of Divinity! The Evil Ghost King and I are going in! Dark Stars under Nightmare Night are far more dangerous than we anticipated!"

Without any hesitation, Rod’s thoughts moved, and five rays of Golden Light fell upon the puppet.

The 5 points of Divinity instantly merged into the puppet’s body, all traces of rust disappeared, and Golden Light spread outward from every joint. In the blink of an eye, the once shabby and thin puppet became dazzlingly shiny, with two exceedingly long Spiritual Blades extending from its wrists, and strong waves of spiritual energy came rolling in.

Good!

Stronger than last time!

Worthy of a puppet that consumed 5 points of Divinity!

Rod felt elated and immediately issued an attack command to the Evil Ghost King through his consciousness.

The sound of rumbling footsteps approached from afar, as the enormous Evil Ghost King initiated the attack.

Simultaneously, Rod took out another ace— the Light Bell.

Its use was simple. Rod smashed it hard onto the ground, and the bell, seemingly made of sunlight, shattered and dispersed, emitting a light and fiery ring.

The next moment, intense sunlight emerged from the void, shining in all directions.

Exposed under the strong light, the black skull emitted thick black smoke.

The air became scorching hot, and Rod felt his Spiritual Energy become extremely active; a powerful force surged within his soul as if he had inexhaustible strength.

However, under the intense light, the Dark Stars began to move slowly, and their Spiritual Energy became almost imperceptible.

The Book of Knowledge joyfully said, "The Clock of Light has greatly enhanced the power of Dream Protection!"

So strong!

A joy rose in Rod’s heart.

The Clock of Light is so strong!

All the materials I spent were not in vain!

The next moment, with a loud bang, the Evil Ghost King collided with the black skull.

The skull had no reaction; the Evil Ghost King swung his huge fist, striking brutally at the brain within the hole.

At the same time, the puppet turned into a streak of golden light, stabbing into the side of the skull and launching a fierce attack. The golden blade chopped at the bone like a tempest, creating sparks.

Rod watched the situation with tension, not joining in rashly.

The Evil Ghost King and the puppet fought fiercely, seemingly gaining the upper hand, but the Dark Stars suffered no substantial damage.

What made Rod most uneasy was that the strong light somehow did not dispel the pervasive malice in the air. The oppressive feeling still lingered; should the effect of the Flower of Humanity end, he would still be eroded by the Nightmare Night.

What could it be that even the sun could not end the night, and even the sunlight could not disperse the filth?

A chill rose in Rod’s heart, his gaze locked tightly on the skull, sensing every change in it.

Suddenly, he felt the skull’s dormant Spiritual Energy begin to rapidly increase. A bad feeling washed over him, and he shouted, "Be careful!"

The puppet reacted incredibly fast, retreating in an instant, but the Evil Ghost King was not so quick.

The Energy of the skull grew incredibly fast and burst out. A purple flash of light shot from the mouth of the skull, piercing through the Evil Ghost King and striking the Obelisk.

"Ah!"

Rod only felt as if a blade had been thrust into his head, the excruciating pain nearly tearing his soul apart. The Obelisk was connected to his soul, and any damage to it was the greatest damage to his soul.

The Evil Ghost King, with most of his body burned away, fell to the ground and turned to ashes, returning to the Evil Ghost Stone Tank to wait for rebirth.

Several huge cracks spread across the Obelisk.

The Book of Knowledge shouted frantically, "Use the Guardian of Darkness! Quickly use the Guardian of Darkness; the Dark Stars have discovered they can shatter the Obelisk!"

Rod, enduring the intense pain, immediately crushed a Guardian of Darkness.

A hazy light covered the Obelisk, blocking the second purple flash of light.

The intense pain was joined by a bit more pain, but it was completely bearable.

Rod stood up, his fingertips began to swirl with the Star Shuttle.

If the Dark Stars continue to attack the Obelisk, then this was their opportunity.

But after the third flash, the Dark Stars did not launch a fourth flash. The brain within the skull suddenly moved, and those strange eyes revealed themselves again, staring intently at the Obelisk.

The Book of Knowledge immediately shouted urgently, "It’s bad, it’s stripping away the power of the Guardian of Darkness! Stop it quickly!"

The puppet rushed back, climbing onto the skull like lightning, the long golden Spiritual Blade penetrating the bone of the skull, hitting right into its strange eyes.

The next moment, a burst of golden light flashed on the puppet, with Spiritual Energy surging explosively. The waves of Spiritual Energy from the rapid change spread out like transparent rings, and the golden blade glowed extremely brightly, piercing through the strange eye of the skull.

Rod said with joy, "Did we win?"

He had many more strategies that he hadn’t used yet and didn’t expect the invader to be killed so soon.

But just then, the Book of Knowledge suddenly shouted with an unprecedented urgency, "Run! Aphro! Run!"
