Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

718 Chapter 454: Birth of Terror, Dark Soul Eater [1/6]

[One can inject negative energy into it to increase its grade after the activation. The higher amount injected, the higher the potential of the wraith demon after mutation.]

Richard read the Black Gold System’s prompt and immediately thought of Gray and Gunter. These two were A-rank mummy heroes. The birth of these two heroes was quite similar to it.

He couldn’t help but feel great.

The Black Gold System was the eternal god!

The information provided was irreplaceable.

He regained his senses, and he took a deep look at the dark stone statue.

This mission was extremely arduous, and the reward was indeed very impressive.

However, it would not be enough to activate the remaining stone statues if he invested all his resources into the dark stone statues.

Richard pondered and turned to look at Popov, the level 19 hero.

“Patriarch Popov, this dark stone statue contains a supremely mighty soul. It could help us if we activate it.”

“However, the biggest problem is… Activating this stone statue requires tons of resources. The undead crystals we have are far from enough.”

“Once I put everything in…” As he spoke, he gestured to the surrounding stone statues.

“We won’t have the power to activate these ancient heroic spirits.”

He looked straight at Popov.

“Therefore, I need you to give me accurate information. What kind of power do these stone statues possess if we activate them? Can we meet what we need to be able to attack the spider temple, hunt that transcendent down, and slaughter the spider goddess?”

His ultimate mission was to retrieve a god’s heart.

The others had to stand aside.

It would not be worth it if he activated this dark stone statue and couldn’t meet the target.

The new expansion pack was related to the future. And the old white-haired man in the Red Dragon General Store was inextricably linked to the Crimson Moon.

In addition, he could finally obtain the Contract Scroll that he desperately needed. Nothing could stop him from achieving his goal.

However, he would have to choose again…if the Tower race’s stone statue was not as powerful as he expected. It was clear that he had a better target after he learned about the dark stone statue.

“Lord Richard, these thirty-two stone statues were once the pride of the Tower race, and their levels have reached the peak of transcendent… However, as time passes, they don’t have much energy left because we no longer have the resources to maintain their state.”

Its tone was bitter.

“It can recover to level 17 or 18 at most and fight at full strength for two to three hours after the ancestor revives.”

These top-notch existences that once dominated an area could not condense 1% of their power now.

And this was directly related to the decline of the Tower race.

That made Popov feel uncomfortable.

These were all its ancestors…

Richard nodded and said nothing.

More than 30 level 17 and 18 heroes were not weak forces.

However, they could not be enough.

Their enemies were too powerful… It was arduous to deal with conventional forces.

He looked at the inconspicuous stone statue at the door.

“Its Excellency Muken, how much power can it recover?”

Popov revealed a complicated expression.

“Its Excellency Muken, there might be a chance to recover its extraordinary powers… However, this would require more negative energy.”

“Transcendents?”

Richard made his decision.

“Its Excellency Muken… We could revive it. But we would temporarily give up on the other stone statues. We need to gather all our resources.

“Popov, you should know what destructive power our enemy possesses.”

Popov fell silent. The patriarch made up its mind quickly afterward.

“Lord Richard, we can draw out the power contained in these statues.”

“Whether because you want Its Excellency Muken to revive or that dark stone statue… I can transfer the power of the other stone statues into their bodies.”

As it spoke, the patriarch’s gaze became extremely complicated.

“We can even stop reviving Muken’s stone statue and pour its soul power into the dark stone statue.

“At that time, we can also revive Muken. It can also use its power to show its unique disposition…

“We will focus all our power on one stone statue!”

Pain filled Popov’s heart, but there was also a sense of relief.

They have to sacrifice again the heroic spirits who had already died for the Tower race for their race to continue.

Moreover, most of them sacrificed themselves to become nourishment for others, not to charge on the battlefield.

The patriarch would not decide if it were possible, even if it was just a sliver. But now, the Tower race had no other choice.

Survival or destruction was always a choice in a battle.

Richard looked at Popov’s expression and fell silent.

It had to make the choice it had to make as the leader of its race.

No matter how painful it was, the patriarch had to do it.

That was a leader’s responsibility.

Richard pondered and looked at the dark stone statue.

He had used the Black Gold System to open the statue of Its Excellency Muken. There was no remarkable information. It was only a very simple one. It contained a unique soul that could recover part of its battle power when activated.

There were no hidden attributes of the dark stone statue.

They have solved the uttermost problem since Its Excellency Muken could resurrect the dark stone statue.

“Then, revive the dark stone statue!” New chapters are published on ɴovelFɪre.net

Popov took a deep breath.

“I respect your decision, Lord Richard… I will infuse the power of the other stone statues into it.”
