Chapter 858: Chapter 467 Key (First Update)_2

Archbishop Horus still held onto the Silence Stone. After several days of intense concealment work, he appeared very weary. Even though they had achieved great success, there was little joy on his face.

"Everyone, make the most of your time to rest. Tomorrow is the most crucial day, it’s a matter of the mission’s success and everyone’s life and death; we cannot slack at all."

Jessica patted the dust off her clothes and said indifferently, "Your Excellency, Archbishop, I don’t need to rest."

Annie also jumped up and shouted, "Neither do I!"

Horus said gloomily, "No exceptions. Do not let pride get to you. The range of the last area is enormous, filled with unimaginable pollution. Liszt detected a staggering number of Black Fog Symbionts. We face a severe challenge and must be at our best state to confront it."

Jelaba placed his giant hammer on the ground and said in a calm but audible voice, "Resting is not a waste of time; it’s for better combat. Even with unlimited spiritual energy, soul fatigue is unavoidable. Please enter a deep meditation state to restore your soul’s power."

"The real test lies in the last three days."

The noisy sounds quickly subsided, and Jessica and Annie too entered a meditative state.

Great Priest Megan weaved through Calier’s covert forces, checking each warrior’s state, suppressing the unrest within their bodies, ensuring the balance of spiritual energy.

Only the four Special Level Combatants and Archbishop Horus continued to stay awake, gathered together discussing something in low voices.

Rod hesitated for a moment but still approached them.

Five heads rose simultaneously. Horus frowned, "Rod, what are you doing? Didn’t I say to rest?"

Rod felt slightly puzzled; Horus’s attitude seemed unfamiliar to him. Nonetheless, he quickly expressed his thoughts.

"Our battle with the Starry Queen might not take a day."

"It took me only forty seconds to kill the Starry Queen."

He concisely explained the cooperation between Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies and King’s Heart, presenting several plans and demonstrating the Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies for a few seconds.

The looks in the five people’s eyes changed subtly.

Fire Son Jelaba asked, "My brother, does your Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies have no time limit or other restrictions?"

Rod shook his head, "No, I can use it anytime and interrupt it anytime without any impact. However, the early stage of the Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies is very weak; only after at least twelve seconds does it inflict some damage. At twenty seconds, the damage is remarkable, and after thirty seconds, it becomes unmatched. I believe forty seconds is absolutely enough to kill any monster."

"Its only drawback is that it consumes a tremendous amount of spiritual energy, and without sufficient consumption, it has no power, so I seldom use it."

Luo Weiya and Olivia simultaneously asked, "Is it your rapid-fire?"

Rod’s face darkened but he nodded, "Yes, but it has become very lasting."

Luo Weiya and Olivia both had researched Rod’s file and were familiar with him, but Rod’s rapid growth had left the file updates lagging, slightly outdated.

Only Horus knew the characteristics of his Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies, and said solemnly, "Rod, you are oversimplifying this. I know your Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies, but the Starry Queen will not be so easy to kill. A continuous forty-second attack allows her to do too much."

Jelaba, after brief consideration, also said, "Rod, brother, as the Archbishop said, this may not be as simple as you think. The King’s Heart is not truly infinite in spiritual energy. Its essence is to establish our connection with the King; the King’s power will traverse time and space, covering the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground of Starry Sky City. We rely on the King and the Holy Fire, fighting under the blessing of the Bright Festival against the Starry Queen."

"Infinite spiritual energy is actually the King’s spiritual energy. Though massive and unfathomable, it’s not truly infinite."

Olivia added, "If I calculate, your Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies, after thirty seconds, will consume a large portion of the King’s Heart power. After forty seconds, the King’s Heart can only provide support. About fifty seconds will exceed its limit, and even the King cannot sustain such a terrible spiritual energy output."

"Thus, your plan to gather power from afar to destroy the entire Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground is not feasible."

Luo Weiya also said, "The fluctuation of Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies is too large. If used externally, it will cause a terrifying disturbance around and spatial fractures cannot block it. If it alarms other King Level Monsters in Starry Sky City, we will be in big trouble."

Rod felt unsettled. He didn’t expect his brilliant winning strategy to be disregarded here, unwillingly asking, "Honorable Excellencies, can’t you restrain the Starry Queen for forty seconds?"

On Luo Weiya’s tough face, a trace of dread appeared.

"Little Rod, we don’t have that assurance. Until we truly see her, no one dares to promise anything."

Among the five, Thunder King Misha, always surrounded by thunder, had an unreadable expression, except Jelaba’s expression was more relaxed. He smiled, "My brother, don’t be disappointed. Your tactic, although not the only one, can become one of our trump cards."

"When fighting the Starry Queen, we won’t use it at the start, but after a long entanglement with her, you’ll get the opportunity."

Luo Weiya and Olivia instantly understood Jelaba’s words.

"Correct, after we grasp the Starry Queen’s battle mode, you’ll have the space to use Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies."

"This equals another trump, giving us slightly greater odds."

The atmosphere instantly became lively. Luo Weiya, Olivia, and Jelaba discussed various combat details, increasingly finding room for Rod’s finishing move to play a significant part.

Though Thunder King Misha couldn’t communicate for special reasons, underneath the thunder, a pair of curious eyes could be seen.

Only Horus’s expression remained gloomy and unsteady.

Rod felt puzzled and asked with concern, "Your Excellency, Archbishop, what’s wrong with you?"

Horus lifted his eyes, calmly answering, "Nothing... Let’s leave the final battle for later discussion. Right now, the problem is entering the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground."

Luo Weiya gave him a glance, "Horus, you’re a bit unusual."

Horus sighed, "I am too exhausted... and I don’t know why, I have an uneasy feeling as if some shadow is entangling us... I hope everything goes smoothly."

Luo Weiya said sternly, "The Silence Stone has some effect on the soul. Horus, you rest tonight. Jelaba and I will go check the back area again, eliminate any remaining monsters without causing any disturbance."

"Olivia, Misha, you stay here and notify us of any situation immediately."
