Rod kept his mouth shut, not ntioning that apart from the 60 points of future divinity, he got nothing from the dream realm, which was why he wanted to rush back to see if he could take down the Main Brain.
Unfortunately, he never got the chance, as his movent speed in the spirit realm was too slow.
Rod was a little regretful, but he clearly understood that even if he took on the Main Brain, it would be impossible to complete soul erosion.
Such a powerful monster could not have its soul plundered with just a few attacks.
But earning 60 points of divinity was enough.
Rod smiled joyfully.
But soon, he found sothing even more delightful.
As the wreckage of the Main Brain evaporated, it gradually revealed many shining starlight fragnts.
Rod’s eyes widened instantly; starlight fragnts were the key materials for crafting the "Goddess’ Tears." He didn’t expect there to be so many starlight fragnts in the Main Brain’s corpse.
He imdiately requested Luo Weiya to help him collect them; otherwise, these starlight fragnts would soon dissipate in the spirit realm space.
Luo Weiya wasn’t initially very inford about the "Goddess’ Tears," and had even felt disgruntled because the Royal City had altered the importance of starlight fragnts.
But when Rod ntioned the "achievents" of the Goddess’ Tears, he imdiately realized that the Royal City’s adjustnt regarding starlight fragnts was because of him.
With a shift of thought, spiritual energy propelled Luo Weiya as if he were a kite flying towards the corpse of the Main Brain.
Now, the massive Main Brain had shrunk to the size of a small town; before, its size was comparable to the Royal City.
Rod collected many starlight fragnts from that rag-like corpse.
Watching one pale blue, shadowy light veil after another being stored in the dream realm, Rod couldn’t be happier.
The Book of Knowledge told Rod that the Main Brain had a habit of collecting starlight fragnts. Whenever the stars shone brightly, it would gather the scattered starlight fragnts in the spirit realm and integrate them into its body. Its spiritual energy beams were released by the organizational structures infused with starlight fragnts.
Starlight fragnts originated from the power of the stars and were unrelated to the Black Fog. After the Main Brain’s body dissipated, the starlight fragnts naturally remained.
Rod frantically searched the wreckage; before the Main Brain completely vanished, he harvested over three hundred starlight fragnts, enough to craft over a hundred Goddess’ Tears.
This was indeed a great harvest.
Rod was so happy that his mouth almost twisted.
With so many Goddess’ Tears, he could heal more warriors, especially the unawakened from the monster sequence who were prone to losing control.
That was countless points of divinity.
However, Luo Weiya didn’t share much of the victory’s joy. Although there wouldn’t be any more disturbances, the flow of spiritual energy in the region would gradually return to balance, and the concentration of the Black Fog would eventually restore to normal, yet the awakened monsters wouldn’t be easily subdued again in the short term.
There was not much ti left before the Bright Festival, and with the current combat power, it was impossible to eliminate all threats by the return of the stars.
The attack on Starry Sky City still involved much greater risks than before.
Most critically, they discovered that there were doomsday cultists hidden among Trolian’s high ranks.
This was the most unwelco news to face.
No one wanted comrades fighting shoulder to shoulder to suddenly beco enemies. A warrior’s blade should hunt monsters, not assassinate comrades.
Luo Weiya did not inform Rod about this matter. He planned to keep it under wraps for now, only telling Archbishop Horus and the King.
Doomsday cultists of this level were unimaginable. Unlike those whose lives were troubled or who had lost hope in continuous battles, the high-ranking doomsday cultists typically had greater ambitions and posed more significant threats to humanity.
The Internal Affairs Court was unsuited for handling such matters. Acting rashly would only alert the snake, whereas Lucian was competent in capturing ordinary doomsday cultists.
As for the high-ranking ones, only the Fire Son or the King could handle them.
With a heavy heart, Luo Weiya took Rod back to Star Ring Town.
Archbishop Horus, upon learning they defeated the Sith Giant Brain and its Main Brain, showed a pleased expression, but when told it was all due to human intervention, he showed anger and bewildernt.
Like Luo Weiya’s judgnt, he also decided to keep the news sealed, outwardly relaxed but internally cautious.
Now wasn’t the ti for large-scale investigations; they could only discreetly monitor the situation and steadily continue clearing operations.
Currently, the battlefield outside Starry Sky City was trending towards stability. When the Royal City no longer required clearing all threats, the operational pressure drastically reduced. More importantly, Calier’s secret forces, the Shadow Warriors, were finally getting accustod to the battles here.
Their combat abilities were incredibly strong, typically possessing powerful and profound spiritual energy, physical qualities far exceeding ordinary people, and astonishingly peculiar skills. When utilized correctly, they could exert two hundred percent of their strength, significantly easing the battlefield pressure.
Horus had increasingly adeptly utilized them, and High Priest gan was also maturing in her control over the warriors during battles.
Most importantly, Rod had continuously provided him with two batches of Goddess’ Tears, drastically reducing the casualty rate of the unawakened warriors.
Initially, the out-of-control unawakened "Black Claw" Amora was the first to complete the new soul technique.
He had long since awoken from the coma, with the wounds caused by the soul surgery healing rapidly, leaving him unaffected in just a few days.
Amora was extrely grateful to Rod and Horus for saving his life. To express his gratitude, he even engraved the na "Black Barrel" in the center of his chest.
For unknown reasons, since then, he never lost control again nor sustained severe injuries. He smoothly exerted his formidable strength, slaying countless monsters that might pose threats to humanity.
Suddenly, the tale of this incident spread widely among the secret forces, especially among the unawakened warriors. Losing control was their deepest nightmare and an inevitable tragedy.
Now, there was actually soone who could redeem their predetermined fate of death and even bring them miraculous luck.
Hence, they all began engraving this symbol of fortune on themselves. Many believed that the "Black Barrel" with mysterious power could bring them luck, help them harness power, and slay monsters.
Whether it was psychological or not, it did have so effect, and the combat effectiveness of the unawakened force soared, even to the astonishnt of High Priest gan.
However, not everyone believed it.
Many who considered themselves powerful did not engrave "his" title on their bodies yet still achieved considerable feats, using this to refute the absurd rumor.
Leading among them were Brittania’s Annie and the Blood Bird of Thorny Valley.
With unparalleled combat power and efficient killing prowess, they stole the spotlight on the battlefield, outshining even many seasoned Guardians.
High Priest gan was very pleased, saying that by reaching this stage of the battle, Calier’s path had achieved complete victory, with the forbidden shadow—mbers of Calier’s secret forces—becoming an essential force on the battlefield.
No one could deny their contributions, nor could anyone deny the effort Calier put into their creation.
Although Trolian’s rising stars also shone brightly, the "Unbeaten" Jessica was active on various battlefields, and the presence of the Six-Ard Snake Demon was almost synonymous with victory. She never tired, with seemingly endless spiritual energy, and her super-strong attack and defense capabilities in her awakened state allowed her almost unrestricted movent on the battlefield.
The "Great Sword" Tai Luo eliminated the most monsters, with the power of his "Light Sword" and "Light Giant" form being formidable.
Additionally, Fei Xue from Vanilla Village, the Silver Cat of Phantom, the Cannon Evelyn, the Sun Warrior Rasso, and others perford exceptionally well.
The only slight disappointnt was the performance of Black Barrel Rod, which was just satisfactory.
Though he exceeded expectations in the early battles, in the spirit realm battle with your lordship Luo Weiya, he didn’t demonstrate significant impact and rely observed the crucial spirit realm battle, leaving many who had high hopes for him sowhat disappointed.
Overall, the performance of Trolian’s new forces completely overshadowed the older generation.
This was sothing joy-inducing yet worrying, but in such tis of growing darkness and diminishing light, it was as good as it could get.
However, Rod was not satisfied with the situation.
